In the slightly dark corridor, an elf woman hurriedly walked to the door, stretched out her hand and patted it a few times.
The door was opened from the inside, and a haggard woman's face appeared. With a glimmer of hope, she asked in a trembling voice: "Is there any news..."
"Sorry, Aunt Shireen... I asked my husband, and he said, said, the tragic defeat on the front line is true, and everyone is busy working on it now." The young woman who knocked on the door replied with some embarrassment.
.
Her husband works in the government department as a minor official, so she doesn't have to worry about her man being drafted into the army and sent to the front line.
The haggard old woman named Shilin in the door is her neighbor. One of her two sons is serving in the 2nd Army and the other is a soldier in the 3rd Army.
That's why she was so nervous, eager to know whether the rumors circulating outside were true: there was news that the elves were defeated miserably in the Ice Empire, and both the 2nd and 3rd armies suffered heavy losses, with many people dead.
Nowadays, there are various opinions on the streets, and the chaos is very scary. Moreover, the army is recruiting troops everywhere, which makes everyone panic.
Rewind Port, as one of the richest ports in the elves, has now begun to control strategic materials. Almost all construction projects have come to a standstill, and cement and steel bars can no longer be used casually.
"Can you get news about Frank and Marvin... I know this may be difficult, but I really have no other way." Aunt Shireen begged her good neighbor in frustration. Now this neighbor is her only hope.
.
Fortunately, Shilin often interacts with this neighbor on weekdays. She will help him clean up the housework and deliver the soup she made. The relationship between the two families is very good.
Only in this way could this elderly woman dare to lose face and ask her neighbor to help her find out about her two sons.
The young female elf shook her head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "It's not that I don't help, Aunt Shireen, Charlie is just a small official, and he has no way of investigating such detailed matters. He just got the notice...
"
At this point, the woman also knew that it was best not to say such things out of her mouth, so she looked around and lowered her voice before continuing: "Their department wants to sort out all the supplies stored in the port, saying that the front line has been defeated.
, requires a lot of cement..."
"Gods for heaven's sake...why does war never leave us?" Aunt Shilin shed tears. She felt that she was really a miserable woman.
When I was young, my husband died in the war, and I worked hard to raise my two children by myself. As a result, both children were drafted into the army and became soldiers.
I originally thought that since the two children were serving in two armies, the probability of something happening at the same time was very small, but in the end, something happened together.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but start wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and even forgot to let the woman outside the door into her house.
"Sigh... Several bombs fell on the port yesterday. I heard they were dropped by Tang Dynasty planes. I don't know what the navy does for food, but they actually let the enemy attack them at the door of their house." The woman at the door sighed and also
Then start complaining.
"Ah. Look at me, I didn't even let you come in to sit. Come in! Come in... I've cooked some porridge here. You can take it back and give Charlie a taste." Aunt Shilin finally remembered to be polite,
He opened the door, got out of the way, and invited the other person to come in and sit down.
Women are not polite either. Her cooking skills are average, so she often goes to Aunt Shilin to learn some cooking methods, and she often brings some things back to her man.
Both of them like the food cooked by Aunt Shilin very much, and they often ask Shilin to help clean the house... In short, Shilin can be regarded as half of the nanny for the couple, and the couple often bring some ingredients to Shilin to supplement
overhead.
Before they could sit down, the two women heard strange sounds outside. Sharp and harsh echoes filled the air, making people feel very uneasy.
"What's going on?" Aunt Shilin pushed open the window, frowned and muttered. The moment the window was pushed open, the harsh sound became sharper.
"It's an alarm!" The young woman's face turned pale. When humans attacked the port warehouse yesterday, Refeng Port did not sound the air defense alarm because they didn't know that the opponent's plane had already come over.
"Oh my God..." Aunt Shilin's face changed after hearing the voice. The last time this thing started making noise was more than a year ago, and Rewind Port was not attacked on a large scale at that time.
The elves' air force has been suppressing the dwarves' air force, so air supremacy has always been in the hands of the elves. The dwarves' aircraft did not dare to move near Rewind Port, so there were only a few bombings, and the degree of damage was very limited.
"Should we find a bomb shelter... to hide?" The young woman looked at Shirin nervously, asking for the latter's opinion.
Shireen has never experienced anything like this, but the last time the dwarves air raided her, she didn't go to the so-called air raid shelter. She just sat at home and didn't take it seriously at all.
So Shirin took the neighbor's hand and comforted him: "It's okay, don't be afraid. The last time the dwarves bombed Rewind Port, there was no way..."
Before she could finish her words, a shocking loud noise was heard. The glass was shaken by the explosion. Both of them shrank their necks, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and screamed: "Ah!"
Fortunately, the place where the bomb exploded was one block away from the building where they were located, so it was not really close to them, so their area was not really affected. However, the scary loud noise had already frightened their courage.
"Go! Hurry!" Shirin finally lived for thirty more years. She broke away from the fear first, grabbed the arm of the female neighbor who was still squatting on the ground, and ran out quickly.
She even turned off the gas stove that had been used for ten years and locked the door to her home when she left home.
When they rushed out of the building, the young female neighbor finally came to her senses. As she was being pulled forward, she cried and said: "Aunt Shilin, I, I still have something valuable at home...
"
"I can't care anymore! Fran! It was too dangerous just now!" Shirin stopped running and panted, looking around.
She saw men running nervously on the street and women panicking. Some were crying and some were yelling and cursing. It seemed that the whole street was in chaos.
