"You guys, go east, you guys go south," Gesas stood at the entrance of the village and gave instructions to the men in black robes next to him. Crazy Blade didn't know where it went first. For the orcs, it was a night attack.
This is their special skill. A human child will definitely not be able to escape with the keen sense of smell and mobility of the beasts. "Praise the true God," Gesas changed the human language he just used back to the ancient beast language. The wind direction suddenly changed, and the
The flames of the village that were originally blowing into the dense forest blew back into the village. He made a five-pointed sign on his chest with two fingers piously. Gesas also threw himself into a dense forest. Before he came here, he discovered that there was a small town not far from here.
.
In the mountain forest not far from the entrance of Ford Town, a rustling sound came out, and Arthur crawled and rolled out of the forest, followed by two sturdy men in black robes. Arthur panted and climbed to the door leading to the forest.
On the main road of Ford Town, there are already torches placed by the town residents on both sides. On the night of the fire moon, the manic power will affect everyone, so some small towns will place torches on the road to drive away wild beasts, or some other
Affected creatures, while large human cities use kerosene lamps.
The black robe followed Arthur closely. Both of them pulled down their robes. Their red beast faces showed an indomitable aura, vowing to kill Arthur. As mentioned before, attacking at night has always been the responsibility of the orcs.
stunt.
"Remnants of the Hebrews, give up, you can't reach the town!" The orcs were getting closer and closer to Arthur. One of them took out a giant ax from under his black robe. Their eyes were blood red and they were full of killing intent.
For the orcs, the Fire Moon will only stimulate their nature and make them stronger.
At this time, Arthur was only half a mile away from the entrance of the town. However, after such a long time of escaping, Arthur's legs could no longer support him. He staggered and almost fell. The orc holding a giant ax behind him seized the opportunity and jumped
The giant ax struck at Arthur. Suddenly an arrow shot at the orc, and Arthur took the opportunity to roll and hide by the roadside.
"Enemy attack!" At the critical moment, several men holding bows and arrows suddenly appeared at the entrance of the town, and on a sentry tower near the town, a sentry was shaking a whistle bell.
The sound of enemy attacks came into the town, and the originally sleeping town woke up again. The two orcs stopped suddenly. One of them roared several times at Arthur who was getting closer and closer to the town. He suddenly turned around and joined his companions.
It disappeared into the dense forest nearby.
"Alert!" The password suddenly changed, and warnings were sent to the town. Arthur stumbled to the entrance of the town, sat down on the ground, and looked at the several fully armed men holding bows and arrows in front of him. Tears almost overflowed again. The leader
The man with the bow and arrow is named Little Ford. His father is the postmaster and the mayor of this town, and he has joined the guard. Tonight there is a fire moon. The guard, who is well aware of the danger of the fire moon, will naturally conduct patrols and inspections at night.
.
Little Ford walked towards Arthur and squatted next to him, "Child, what's going on? You're not, aren't you Arthur from Green Village?" Arthur used to follow the villagers and his father to Ford Town for trading many times.
, exchanging ores from the mountains for daily necessities, and as time went by, little Ford remembered this lively child.
"Little Ford, Mr. Ford!" Arthur grabbed Little Ford's sleeve, "Green Village, Green Village is on fire!"
Little Ford's eyes flashed, and he stood up and quickly arranged the work. He asked Kate and Jetty behind him to take seven or eight people up the mountain to take a look. In order to prevent the orc attack he just saw, Little Ford asked the sentry to call another
He set up a guard and guarded the entrance to the town. Looking at the people who were doing their jobs, Arthur gradually relaxed and remembered the secret letter, "Sir, where is old Mr. Ford now?"
"I'll take you there. He should be at the post office. He said he would sleep in the post office tonight." Little Ford put the bow and arrow behind him, took Arthur's hand and walked into the town. Ford Town is a small town.
The town is a subsidiary town of Brighton, the largest city nearby. Residents build houses with stone bricks. In the center of the town is a large post office, with pubs and various daily shops on the left and right sides. In the deepest part, there are
There is a small church and a blacksmith shop, and with these facilities, it is already the most advanced town nearby except Brighton.
Because of the previous alarm, many people in the town came out of their homes and gathered on the street. Although some men were wearing shirts, they were holding tools such as shovels as weapons. Women were more likely to gather together.
There was a lot of discussion, and a few ladies also had self-defense weapons. "What happened, little Ford," a middle-aged uncle approached the two and asked about the situation.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, old Henry. You know, Huo Yue is always a bit of a restless beast." The discussion around them became quieter, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Little Ford immediately asked everyone to return to his room, Huo Yue
It is common sense for Yue Shao to go out and let everyone believe in the strength of the escort team.
When there were almost no people on the street, Ford's relaxed expression calmed down, and he pulled Arthur and quickly walked into the post office.
The post office has only one floor, and a large number of letters are placed in various corners of the hall according to regions. In the innermost corner, a fat old man is sitting on the most advanced machine in town, a telegraph machine, playing with something. That is the old man.
Ford, the mayor of Ford Town. Arthur was very impressed by him. Every time his father came to town to buy things, he would go to the post office of the old mayor Ford to stay.
"Father," Little Ford walked around the piles of letters and approached Old Ford, "Arthur came out of Green Village. Two orcs are chasing him. Green Village probably no longer exists."
"So that's it..." Old Ford seemed to have expected it. He turned around and looked at Arthur, who had become dull. "My child, where is the letter."
Taking out a letter and handing it to Old Ford, Arthur walked to a corner, sat down against the wall, and buried his head in his arms. Old Ford sighed, and the secret letter had been opened so that everyone could see it.
The content inside, the general content of the letter is that the men in black robes have discovered traces of the Hebrew family and need them to evacuate immediately. It is signed by Viscount Bailey, the most charitable knight in Brighton City, but since then
Judging from the content, it should be a reminder given by the letter writer to Joe Hebrews in the name of Viscount Bailey.
"You take Arthur to our house first and let Arthur have a good night's rest. We have to send him away tomorrow." Old Ford waved his hand and turned back to the telegraph machine. This product of the new era of mankind was only a few years old.
, has not yet been officially put into use in various post offices, and Old Ford can get one, which naturally shows his outstanding status.
"Tomorrow? Father, this is..."
"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, otherwise we will all be in danger." After a pause, Old Ford pressed the letter button on the telegraph machine, and then said to Arthur, "You must know what you say, and you must hear what you do."
After hearing this, Little Ford said nothing and coaxed Arthur out of the post office. There was only Old Ford in the post office. Old Ford sighed again and pressed the buttons one by one. He wanted to notify the other force in the shortest possible time.
At this time, in the darkness beside Old Ford, a figure merged into the light and shadow on the wall again.
On a low slope outside Ford Town, the two orcs who had been chasing Arthur stood aside. At the highest point, Gesas flexed his arms and stared at the town below. After staring for a long time
, Gesas walked down the slope. "Let's go, these two things that disgrace the orcs. It seems that the child will not be able to catch them today. Let's go back to the church." In the astonished eyes of the two orcs, Gesas used the ancient beast
He hummed an unknown tune and walked deep into the dense forest.
