Although it is necessary to pack up, in fact, this kind of existence hovering on the poverty line does not have much worth taking away.
Before it was completely dark, the villagers were already getting ready to go.
"Are you going to travel overnight, or rest overnight?" Jem, who was guarding the village entrance, asked the old village chief.
"Leave immediately." The old village head replied without hesitation: "Although the barren mountain bandits should not come so soon, we must set off immediately for the sake of the lives of the villagers!"
"Where's this guy?" Jem pointed to the skinny gray Shar-Pei not far from the entrance of the village: "Aren't you going to take him?"
The old village chief was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It is waiting for its master to come back, and will not leave here."
"But its owner..." Tang Rui had just said half a sentence, but Jem cut off his throat with his arm: "Some things don't need to be said!"
The old village head watched the fight between the two, then turned around and looked at the village, looking carefully at every corner of the village, his eyes became more and more nostalgic and sad.
He has spent almost his entire life in this village since he was born, and there are memories of him in almost every corner of the village. He did not expect that when he was old, he would be forced to leave the village and live in another country. This is obvious. It made the old man very uncomfortable.
The old village head's family soon came to pick him up.
Afterwards, the villagers carried big bags and small bags, and some of them had livestock, and even the backs of the animals were full of all kinds of messy things, and quickly left the village under the guidance of the village chief.
It didn't take long for the village, which was extremely jubilant and noisy because of the celebration a few hours ago, to suddenly become empty.
As night fell, the deathly silence became even more disturbing, and Jem couldn't help but miss the other players.
He is not a person who likes noise, but silence is obviously more uncomfortable than noise.
Compared to this kind of place, he suddenly found that he liked the feeling of getting together with sand sculpture players and doing tasks lively and jovially.
Obviously he ran outside on purpose just to escape from that situation.
"It's really different."
At this time, Tang Rui, who had been silent since just now, made Jem think that the other party was angry at his choke attack, and said abruptly.
"What's different?"
"If the town is attacked by the enemy, I will definitely fight the enemy and never run away!" Tang Rui replied.
"Nonsense, can we be resurrected?"
"That's not the case!" Tang Rui looked confused, "Even if I can't be resurrected, I only have one life, I don't want the town to be breached by villains and let them wreak havoc inside!"
"..."
Jem imagined the situation a little bit, and found that although he was not as determined as Tang Rui, he would still feel uncomfortable about it. He would dedicate his strength to protect the town, probably because even if there were no task rewards, the equipment would lose durability. However, he would still die about three times trying to fend off the enemy.
Even he himself didn't expect that that ordinary town would occupy such an important place in his heart.
"Even so, we still have no position to blame those villagers. The essence of a village is a settlement of human beings. As long as there are people, the village will still exist...so for the safety of people, it is the right choice to abandon the village." Jem Sighing, he tried to enlighten Tang Rui.
"I understand what you mean, but I always feel that they gave up their home without any hesitation... I just feel uncomfortable." Tang Rui had an expression of 'I understand what you said, but why is the pigeon so big'.
This made Jem a little discouraged, thinking that with Tang Rui's IQ, he could only bid farewell to his thoughts in this life.
"Wait a minute, Jem, did you hear anything?" Just as Jem was defecating his teammate in his heart, Tang Rui's expression suddenly changed from confusion to vigilance.
Jem was startled, and then found that there seemed to be some voice approaching from a distance.
At first Jem thought it was the player, but then he found that the sound didn't quite resemble the footsteps of the player, so he thought it was the villagers who had figured it out and planned to come back to help guard the village, but after the sound approached, he realized what he wanted up.
"It's the voice of the chocobo. The second wave of attacks by the barren bandits is coming!"
When Jem raised the alarm, Tang Rui also realized that the enemy was approaching, and immediately drew out the long sword that he never left.
Compared with Tang Rui, Jem thought of more.
Obviously, in the previous battle, none of them let go of the barren mountain bandits. The enemy should have been wiped out. If you think about it according to common sense, the barren mountain bandits must find out that the wave of people has not returned before they will realize that there is an attack. It's over, and began to send people over to confirm.
The whole process will take at least a day, but now the enemy came not long after nightfall... This either means that the barren mountain bandits have the ability to monitor the physical condition of the members, and they noticed something wrong when the previous wave of enemies were killed, or it is the barren mountain bandits. The stronghold is very close to this village!
Unfortunately, no matter which possibility it is, it is not a good thing for Tang Rui and Jem.
"The ground is very stable, and there is no sign of a large creature." Jem tried to force a smile: "At least their ace hasn't come yet."
"But there are a lot of people. From this voice... Thirty riders? No, there may be about 50 riders, which is five times that of noon!" Tang Rui was also a little distressed. With so many enemies, it was very troublesome to fight.
Moreover, the previous raid tactics by using the enemy's underestimation may not be effective if the opponent is prepared.
"I would have been a magician if I knew it. They are best at group attacks..." Jem whispered, "Tsk, there are too many people. I'm afraid we won't be able to delay for long. I hope those villagers can escape."
Just when the chocobo appeared in their field of vision and charged towards the two of them, suddenly a feathered arrow shot out from behind Jem and the others, piercing straight into the ground in front of the chocobo knight with a trembling sound. Go up, making the barren mountain bandit subconsciously strangle the bird and stand up.
Tang Rui and Jem turned their heads subconsciously, and found that the villagers who were about to move did not know when they would go back and forth. They were headed by Joey, wearing various pots as helmets, and holding farm tools as weapons in their hands, fully armed stood there.
"If two innocent and kind children die to protect the homeland we gave up, I'm afraid our lives will not be stable!" Joey skillfully restringed the crossbow in his hand, and then shouted: "Although we are weak , but I will also dedicate my strength to protect my hometown! Big guy, it’s time to go!”
"Oh oh oh! ""
