The dark underground kiln was already lit up by the light of the magic stone, and there was no longer the atmosphere of tension and fear in the air. The little girl in the underground kiln gradually became familiar with this mercenary named Luo.
The little girl's name is Mary, and she is an ordinary resident of this Sun Guard City. However, as a teenager, she has already experienced many wars. She also has a little strength, but she is still unable to cope with the outside world.
It was a cruel war, so every time at this time, her guy would ask her to hide at home or in the underground cave and not go out.
Mary does not have many family members. She only has one grandfather, who is a captain of the 17th Guards Regiment of the Yanyang Army and commands a hundred sergeants. In fact, in the past, she had many family members, including a father, a mother, and
She had a lovely little brother, but because of the war, her father died, her mother also died, and even her five-year-old brother died in an accident due to the war, so she hated the war very much and hated the invaders.
Luo sighed, and his sigh contained pity for Mary, as well as other factors.
"Do you want to eat something? There is some food here." Mary took the fluorescent stone and took out a large bag of food from a wooden bucket in the corner of the wall, including dried fish, fruit pulp, milk, etc.
"Thank you." Luo was really hungry, so he was not polite.
"You won't kill me, will you?" Mary sat on the wooden box, still feeling a little worried and scared.
Luo Yi was stunned: "Of course not, I swear."
Mary smiled slightly, with her curved eyebrows and squinted eyes, her smile was sweet and pretty.
But Luo seemed to only care about the food in front of him. He ate a lot of the big bag of fruit pulp by the handful.
Mary asked: "Where are you from? The accent doesn't sound like the people here."
"Magic Moon, Debiles." Luo sucked the minced meat seasoning on his fingers: "On the other side of the main continent."
Mary said: "Moyue, I have heard that it is a big empire in the main continent, right? It's very far away."
"Yes." Luo nodded and said, "We rented the fastest World of Warcraft and it took us more than a month to get here."
"It's so far away, haha, I really want to take a look. I've never left Yanyang City in my entire life." Mary said with a longing smile.
"Yes, you will definitely go, I believe..." Luo suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Mary asked: "How..." Before she could finish her words, she heard footsteps outside the kiln, the footsteps of several people.
"Hey, there is an underground kiln here, let's hide in it quickly." A man opened the door of the underground kiln and jumped in, followed by several other guys.
Heavy breathing sounded in the underground kiln. Luo and Mary hid behind a row of wine barrels piled up like a wall, looking outside through the small gap between the barrels.
There were six people in total, all of them men, with colorful ribbons tied around their necks. They were all mercenaries hired by the coalition forces. It seemed that Luo and the others were not the only ones who had been chased by the Yanyang Army and fled.
Luo wanted to go out and greet them, but Mary was very scared and didn't want him to leave, so she had to continue hiding behind the barrel and watching.
A guy listened for a while by the underground kiln door, then came back and said, "I'm not chasing you."
The other five people were relieved.
A very rough-looking guy dropped the ax in his hand and raised his right hand with difficulty. His right hand was injured, and there was a big gash on his right arm, which even broke the arm guard.
"Medicine, bandages."
A packet of white powder was sprinkled on the open wound, and a bandage was used to heal the wound. These are all things that people bring with them, and coupled with the magician's slow treatment, such a wound can last for several hours or up to a day.
It will heal.
"Hey, there's still food here." A guy took the leftover food from Luo and started eating.
"There is still wine here." A fat man opened the lid of the wine barrel, and the strong aroma of wine suddenly filled the entire underground kiln.
"Let me drink first to clear up the slander." A little guy stepped forward to grab the wooden cup.
The fat man pushed him: "Go away, I found it first." He scooped up a large glass of grape wine and drank it to his heart's content: "Hey, this wine is really good."
"Hatch!" Mary, who was hiding behind the barrel wall, couldn't help sneezing because of the dust on it.
The six mercenaries were stunned.
"Who is it?" The rude man shouted, and the two guys next to him began to walk behind the wall of wine barrels.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's me." Luo walked out from behind, raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons, and pointed at his neck and said, "I came in to avoid danger."
The six people looked at him warily: "No, it was a woman's voice just now."
"Yes... he is a friend of mine." Luo said.
The fat man and the little man ran to the back and took a look, and sure enough they only saw a frightened little girl.
Luo called her out, but intentionally or unintentionally blocked her behind him.
The rude guy seemed to be the leader of the group. He tied up his arm, picked up the ax on the ground and asked: "Which group are you from?"
"Blue, Blue Cross." Luo was stared at by them one by one, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Have you heard of it?" the rude big man asked the little man.
The little man shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Luo smiled: "It's a small mercenary group, not very famous." He asked instead: "What about you."
"What kind of mercenary group we are, you don't need to know." The rude man tilted his head, looked at Mary behind him, and asked: "Is she your friend?"
"Yes, it is."
The rude man frowned: "Why does she have the emblem of Yanyang City on her body?"
Although Mary is not wearing a uniform like that of the Yanyang Army outside, the flame-like crest on her chest is unmistakable.
"Uh..." Luo Dao: "This... this is her home, and I just met her when I hid in it."
"She is from Yanyang City?" The atmosphere immediately became more tense.
Mary was so frightened that she took a step back, but thinking of the pain the war had brought to her, she became angry again: "So what!"
"Tch, the little girl's voice is quite loud. Do you want to lure the Yanyang Army outside to rescue you?" The little man looked at Mary with a ferocious face.
"What do you want to do?" Luo blocked Mary completely. He glanced behind the wine barrel, where the silver gun was placed.
The little man said bitterly: "Do you know how many of our brothers were killed by the Yanyang Army just now?"
"Hey, that's..." Luo didn't know what to say: "She's just a girl without fighting ability."
"I know who she is." The six mercenaries were completely angry. It seemed that the previous pursuit by the Yanyang Army had made them very embarrassed and humiliated.
Luo Dao: "What? You can't defeat the army outside, so you just want to hurt innocent people?"
"Clear the account!" The fat man next to him kicked him in the stomach without warning.
Luo hit the wall and fell down, knocking Mary to the ground. Luo rolled on the spot, picked up the silver gun behind the barrel and blocked it in front of him: "I'm warning you not to come here!"
When the fat man saw that he had taken the weapon, he took two steps back.
The rude man asked: "Why, you and her are in the same group, and you are also from Yanyang City?"
"no."
"Then why are you defending her? Wasn't your brother killed by the Yanyang Army?" the rude man asked.
Luo was speechless and paused for a moment before saying, "But she is innocent."
"Ha." The rude man sneered: "There are no innocent people in this world. Since she is from Yanyang City, she is an enemy! Get out of the way. She was killed so miserably by the Yanyang Army just now. Even I
My brothers’ wives were all killed, so I must vent my anger.”
"No, I won't get out of the way." Luo held the gun tightly in his hand and said to Mary: "Hurry and hide in."
Mary quickly hid behind the wall of wine barrels.
"Is it safe to hide behind these wine barrels?" The rude man winked at the brother next to him, and the guy kicked down all the wine barrels.
Luo was really angry: "You guys...!" He danced with his silver spear and stabbed the guy who was going to catch Mary.
The fat man's hand was faster, and he grabbed Luo's back collar and pulled him back: "You little bastard, how dare you do it for a girl from Yanyang City!" said the two people next to him.
A group of guys came around and beat Luo until he vomited blood, then threw him aside.
The rude man looked coldly at Luo Dao, who was kneeling on the ground and coughing up blood: "Boy, don't overestimate your capabilities. If you dare to stop me again, don't blame me for killing you!"
Mary was dragged out from behind the barrel: "Ah~! What are you doing, what do you want to do? Let me go." No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break away from the strong hands of these guys.
The fat man stepped forward and said: "Boss, it's too cheap to kill her. My brother's wife was just killed by them. This kind of revenge cannot be repaid by killing one person."
The rude man glanced at the fat man and smiled. He knew what the fat man meant.
Luo, who was kneeling aside, also heard their conversation, and the anger in his chest suddenly burned: "You despicable guys..." He jumped up with a gun, and the silver gun body flashed with blue lightning: "
...I will kill you!"
The rude man quickly moved his left hand and struck out with an axe, right across Luo's face.
Luo fell to the ground and remained motionless. The wound on his forehead, which was about a centimeter wide, penetrated deep into the bone. Blood kept coming out and flowed all over his face.
Mary looked at Luo who fell to the ground unconscious in horror, but she had no time to worry about others now, because these evil mercenaries had already extended their dirty hands to her.
