"What's the difference? Haven't I always been so serious?!" The captain glared at Frank and said angrily, "Do you think I'm usually too nice to you guys because of my temper? That's because I'm too lazy to care about you!"
"That's right, that's right." Frank grinned in agreement, without making any trouble. He knew that according to the captain's habit, he would definitely have something to say next.
Sure enough, the next moment the captain breathed out and said seriously in a low voice: "I tell you Frank, usually you just be lazy and I don't care, but not today, just make your eyes widen.
During the day, I just received news from above. It is said that those bastards in the Sika Kingdom have been dishonest recently and are planning to cause trouble. We must be careful not to be touched by others while we are sleeping. We will die. not understand. "
"The people of the Sika Kingdom are going to cause trouble? Really?" After hearing this, Frank blinked and questioned slightly, "Captain, no way, there is the Reef Castle behind us, and those Sika guys are crazy. Are you crazy or stupid? Dare to attack our line of defense
Besides, I was transferred from Newburgh. I encountered the Sika attacks last October. Can I still encounter them this time? How likely is this? "
"Why are you talking so much? Don't we have to consider where you are when the Sika guys attack? Are you more proud than His Majesty the Emperor?" the captain glared and cursed.
"No, no, Captain." Frank explained, "I just think the chance is too low, almost impossible."
"Then you have to be careful. Now that the news has come from above, just open your eyes wide. This is also for our own good. After all, you don't want to lose your life in confusion just a few months before you are discharged from the army, right? Then I If you go back, you won’t be able to explain it to your family.”
"Yes." Frank nodded his head meter by meter and said with a smile, "I understand what the captain means, I must be careful. In fact, I want to live more than anyone else. After all, Nosa and I have agreed that we will wait until we return from the army. I will marry her at home. The date has been set, and the money and things for the wedding have been prepared, just waiting for me to go back."
"Then I'm relieved." The captain nodded after hearing this, his expression relaxed a bit, he patted Frank on the shoulder and walked away.
…
Watching the captain go away, Frank reached out and took out a washed white handkerchief from his arms, put it under his nose and sniffed it, as if he could still smell the faint fragrance.
This handkerchief was a token of love given to him by his fiancée, and he cherished it extremely.
After sniffing it, he carefully put it away and glanced in the direction the captain left, feeling a little unimpressed.
His mentality was still the same as at the beginning, and it did not really change because of the captain's words - he still felt that no matter how stupid the people of the Sika Kingdom were, they would not be able to attack this defense line. The captain was completely cowardly when he said so much, and he would definitely go home and marry Nosa.
must!
Frank said with certainty in his heart, and then suddenly heard something sound in the night outside the outpost.
"Buzz!"
Um? what
Frank turned his head slightly, looked doubtfully in the direction of the sound, and then widened his eyes.
He saw a fireball the size of a watermelon suddenly rise in the night outside the outpost, draw an arc in mid-air, and fly straight towards him. Before he even reached his eyes, he felt the heat and his skin tingled.
this!
Frank felt the danger of death, his mind went blank, and he forgot to escape. There was only one thought in his heart: he was going to die! He is going to die! He is actually going to die!
ah!
Frank shouted unwillingly in his heart, but the next moment he saw a soldier curiously walking out of the stone building, stepping on the wooden board to the wall, and curiously asked: "What sound..."
"boom!"
Before the soldier finished speaking, a fireball the size of a watermelon exploded, not hitting Frank, but hitting the unlucky soldier standing in front of Frank.
In just the blink of an eye, the soldier's whole body was on fire. The shock wave of the explosion knocked Frank back several meters, causing Frank to sit firmly on the ground with a "thud".
When his butt made contact with the ground, he felt intense pain, which made Frank wake up. He hurriedly stood up and looked into the distance, and saw a whole patch of fire appearing on the horizon, approaching continuously. It was the army of the Sika Kingdom. There are also black shadows that keep flying through the air, dropping balls of flame from time to time. They are the wizards of the Sika Kingdom.
Xi...Xika guy, are you really attacking this place
Frank was stunned for a moment, turned around suddenly, and shouted: "Captain, captain, the Sika guys are here! The Sika guys are coming!"
The outpost captain walked quickly from the darkness, held Frank down, and looked outside the wall. After watching for a few seconds, a look of panic appeared on his face, but his tone was still calm: "I knew that the Sika guy would definitely come!"
"Then... Captain, what should we do now?" Frank asked quickly.
"Under the current situation, we must not run away." The captain analyzed rationally. "The opponent has wizards. As long as we leave the defense of the sentry point, we will not be able to run away from them or avoid their attacks. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to stay here. , try to hold on.
If Sika Lao can attack on such a large scale, the Reef Castle will definitely receive intelligence and send out a support team. As long as we persist until that time, we will be considered victorious and safe. But before that, all we have to do is survive as much as possible. "
After speaking, the captain shouted and quickly summoned all the soldiers.
Within a few seconds, except for the unlucky soldier who died for Frank, the remaining nine soldiers gathered. The captain casually called the names of four people, pointed at Frank, and ordered: "You take four of them, get your bows and arrows, and guard the left side. I will take the remaining people to guard the right side. You must guard it, you know." !"
"Yes." Frank said, waving his hands and leading the four assigned soldiers, grabbing their bows and arrows and rushing towards the left wall.
Arriving at the wall on the left, Frank swallowed his saliva as he looked at the approaching fire outside the wall in silence.
He was a little scared, but tried to calm down, and said to the four soldiers holding bows and arrows: "Listen to my command, we must not take action rashly before the enemy attacks.
After all, our place is just a small outpost. There are dozens or hundreds of outposts like ours on the left and right, and the Sika guys may not be able to take a fancy to them. So as long as we don't take the initiative to attack, maybe they will ignore it, do you understand? "
After listening to Frank's words, three of the four soldiers expressed doubts, but in the end one chose to trust him, nodded and said: "Understood."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow flew over and hit the soldier who chose to believe Frank.
The soldier's body shook, he felt severe pain, and his eyes widened.
Frank was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, supported the soldier's body, and comforted him: "It's okay, Vincent, it was an accident. The arrow hit your shoulder, it was just a minor injury. You will be fine, trust me!"
The soldier named Vincent frowned deeply and endured the pain. After listening to Frank's words, he responded vaguely: "Okay."
"call out!"
Another feather arrow came, hitting Vincent's body who was being supported by Frank. This time it shot directly into the back and out of the chest. The color drained from Vincent's face instantly, and he almost fainted from the severe pain.
After Frank saw this scene, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He could only say for comfort: "Vinson, hold on, you can survive, I will definitely save you..."
"Boohoo! Boom! Boom!"
After Frank finished speaking, a large number of feather arrows flew towards him.
Vincent's body seemed to have a magnet, which attracted almost half of the arrows to him. With the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff", the whole person was shot into a hedgehog.
Vincent's eyes widened, looking at Frank who opened his mouth and wanted to comfort him. His eyes revealed a look of sworn hatred, and then... he breathed his last and fell down.
