"Stop! Who are you!" The guards standing guard at the door stopped them. Compared to Holy Light City, the guards in Gale Village were very shabby. They were holding a long halberd in their hands, but the halberd pole behind was made of wood. Yes, what he is wearing is not the kind of armor that covers the whole body, but pieces of iron armor sewn together. He is wearing cloth shoes on his feet and a bamboo hat on his head. This feeling reminds Guo Zheng of the ancient militiamen in those movies. .
"We are adventurers who came from Holy Light City to experience. We passed by here and wanted to find your village chief." Guo Zheng said.
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are from Holy Light City?" The guard continued to ask, seemingly not believing Guo Zheng.
"Here! Here you go! This is what the Holy Light City Warriors Union gave me." As he said this, Guo Zheng handed a sign to the guard. The guards at the door gathered together and seemed to have no conclusion.
"Wait a moment, I'll take this sign and go into the village to ask." After saying this, the guard turned around and walked in.
"Open the door quickly! Let the warriors from Holy Light City come in." A voice came out.
The door was opened, and the leader was this strong man, dressed almost like the other guards but holding a sledgehammer in his hand, followed by several guards.
The strong man came over and smiled slightly, and gave Guo Zheng's sign back to him and said: "Welcome to the warriors from Holy Light City, I am Gaolak, the captain of the guard team of Gale Wind Village. I have heard about it. What do you want? Let’s go to our village chief Constantine, right? Follow me.”
As Gaolak led the way, Guo Zheng and the others entered the village. There was no pet storage room in this village, so Xiaoba had no choice but to bring Xiao Hei in. Xiao Hei was quite obedient and followed closely. Xiaoba didn't look around behind him either.
The villagers walking around the village noticed the arrival of new faces and began to whisper.
"Look, these four people are dressed like warriors. Maybe they can help us."
"Stop guessing. It's not like no warriors have been there before, but what happened... eh..."
"Wow, it's a bear. The woman with the bow actually brought a bear."
"Keep it down, are you trying to piss off the bear?"
"What's the matter... This is in the village, not to mention Gorak is here."
Along with these whispers along the way, Guo Zheng was also looking at this village. It was different from Flan Village. This village was built on the mountain. It didn't look like a mountain from the outside, but the inside of the village was surprisingly big. It should be 3 of Flan Village. About times, and the houses in this village are arranged in an orderly manner and are not built randomly. Buckets filled with water are placed around each house, and there is a weapons rack at the door of each house with sickles, forks, broadswords, etc. Even the women are dressed lightly in sweat scarves, cinched their waists and short skirts, as if the village is ready for war at any time. It can be said that all the people are soldiers. On the other side are the farmland, vegetable fields, livestock sheds, etc. in the village. This There is a spring flowing directly out of the mountain, forming a small river in the middle of the village, but this should be dug by humans.
"This is it, our village chief Constantine is inside." Gorak said.
Guo Zheng arrived at the place unknowingly while he was still observing Liefeng Village. The village chief's residence can be said to be the tallest building in the village, a three-story stone house. There were guards standing guard outside because it was Gaolak who brought us here. , so the guard didn’t ask too much.
"Village chief, we are coming in." Gorak shouted.
"Come in." An old voice rang.
Under the leadership of Gaolak, Guo Zheng and the others walked in. Because they were worried, Xiaoba also brought Xiaohei in. As soon as they entered, they saw that the first floor was a very spacious hall. The ground was covered with animal skins and there were many things on both sides. There are only a few chairs, and there is an old man sitting in the front. This old man has white hair and beard and is holding a cane in his hand, but his eyes are bright.
As soon as Guo Zheng and the others came in, the village chief stood up.
"You... this is... this is the professional union from Holy Light City..." The village chief stood up excitedly.
The village chief looked at the crowd again and said: "Fighters Guild, Mage Guild, Hunter Guild, Priest Guild... Warriors from four unions came at once..."
"Village Chief, are professional unions something you always talk about?" Gorak asked
"Of course, those who can join the professional union are only one in a million," the village chief said.
"Warriors, please take a seat. I don't know what you want from me." The village chief Constantine said politely.
"That's right, we found a body that had been chewed by wild dogs on the road, and there was a backpack on it. I found this letter inside, which said to give it to you." Guo Zheng said.
"What?! Show me quickly!" The village chief came over directly, and even Gorak came over.
Guo Zheng took the letter out of his backpack and handed it to the village chief. The village chief and Gorak read the letter with solemn expressions.
"Damn Oriya Brotherhood! How cruel." Constantine said.
"Olia Brotherhood?! How do you know about them?" Guo Zheng asked.
"The Oria Brotherhood has a fortress here. It seems that they are looking for something. Does the City of Holy Light also know about their existence?" Constantine said.
Guo Zheng told Constantine what they had experienced in the mine. Constantine also told Guo Zheng and the others the contents of the letter. It turned out that the body found by Guo Zheng was that of a scout from this village named Reed. , Reed and another scout Crow were originally patrolling and investigating, and they found three unknown carriages, two of which were full of ore, and the other was half full of ore, and judging from the driver's dress, he was sure it was Austrian. Reed, who was a member of the Leah Brotherhood, asked Crowe to return to Gale Village to tell Constantine the news. He wanted to continue to follow them to see what they wanted to do with the ore, but found that these bandits were actually making artillery. .
The letter ended abruptly here, and there was a deep mark on it. It seemed that he planned to continue writing something, but something happened that forced him to stop writing. What happened after that is unknown, and the rest is Arriving at Guozheng, his body was found.
"Didn't you notify Holy Light City when you discovered the Oria Brotherhood before?" Qinqin asked.
"We are short of manpower, and there are many wild beasts outside Holy Light City from here. Not only do we have to face the threat of the Oria Brotherhood, there is also a group of ogres to the east of our village. They are huge. They are extremely powerful and will harass us from time to time. The guards you saw when you entered the village just now can be said to be our entire army, with less than 150 people. And many times we have to dedicate some of them to help with farming. It is really We can't bear the loss, so we can only defend passively." Constantine said helplessly.
"Didn't Holy Light City come to see you?" Yi'er said.
"Hey... Holy Light City may not even know about our existence. This place was not this desolate before. It used to be a grassland with lush water and grass. Our village was not called Gale Village because the earliest location of our village was There is a sweet water river, so it is called Sweet Water Village. Later, our human countries went to war with the undead army. An elite undead force planned to attack the Holy Light City from here and was finally discovered. So this place became a battlefield. The undead army refused to give up here. , the Holy Light City army also guarded this place and refused to give up. As a result, the scale of the fighting here became larger and larger. At that time, I led the villagers to escape into the mountain where they are now. At that time, there were shouts outside, and various artillery and magic roared. No. I don’t know how long it took for the outside to calm down. When we walked out of the mountain again, it was already like this. So we lived close to the mountain. I’m afraid our village’s record in the last war was that the village was wiped out.” He spoke long and with a hint of unwillingness.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A panicked voice rang outside Constantine's house.
