A young warrior—he looked very unaccustomed to this bloody place—staggered away from the battlefield. The young man was wearing armor made of iron plates and artificial leather, and two simple colored cloth strips came from his The shoulder pads were hanging down from the gap, stained with blood from his own face, and the iron sword in his hand had been bent and curled. This inferior weapon did not bring him any results. His party was completely at a disadvantage in the melee, so the young man could only desperately escape before his own army was wiped out.
The soldier flew over a low wall at a street corner. In his panic, he didn't see the shadows hidden by the low wall at all. A leg suddenly protruded from the corner, tripping him firmly to the ground.
Hao Ren stepped forward to hold down the soldier. He had thought about how to make contact with the locals and introduce himself for the first time, but he didn't expect to talk to one of them in this situation. It seemed that any careful planning Can't keep up with dramatic changes. The soldier was even more shocked when he was pressed down. He thought he had been ambushed by the enemy, so he immediately tensed up and did not dare to resist. Seeing a group of strangers in strange costumes, the young man gasped: "My lords... and ladies? I... I'm just a soldier..."
"Quiet, we know that you are a soldier, and there are many things I want to ask you." Hao Ren let go of his hand slightly, but used his eyes to prevent the soldier from making excessive resistance. "Who are you? Why are you fighting here?"
The soldier looked at this strangely dressed man in surprise, but he was too frightened to ask too many questions. He could only honestly tell what he knew: "The High Tower Kingdom and the Iron City State are here to fight for the control of Gear Town. I just Follow orders and don't know more."
As he spoke, he unconsciously covered a piece of colored cloth hanging on his chest with his hands, as if he was worried that the faction he belonged to would bring about a fatal disaster. After Hao Ren noticed this little move, he casually asked: " Where are you from? What's your name?"
"... Tower Kingdom," the soldier whispered, "Willie. My name is Willie Moore."
At this time, Lily poked her head and glanced outside, and called out in a low voice: "It seems that they are about to finish fighting...then they are coming this way!"
The two sides in the melee have already decided the outcome. Those soldiers who wore the same badge as Willy were outnumbered, and finally dispersed in a herd, leaving a few corpses and blood all over the place, while the soldiers who fought against them—should be the soldiers of the Iron City—divided into several groups, Some stayed on the scene to collect the loot, while others split off to chase the fleeing enemies. Several tall and burly warriors ran towards this side, and one of them shouted loudly: "This way! I just saw that noble boy running this way! That sissy can't run far. Caught One is better than ten!"
Hao Ren gave Vivian a helpless look: "Take everyone down, but don't kill us, we're not here to cause damage."
As he spoke, he voluntarily walked out from the shadow of the corner where he was hiding, followed by others.
The soldiers of the Iron City State suddenly stopped in surprise when they saw a few strangers in strange clothes coming out from the front, but soon they found that this group of people had no armor on them, so they decided that this was a group of people who found it by chance. The refugees from the ancient storage cabinets immediately raised their weapons and rushed forward screaming.
Vivian opened her hands to these people. A powerful cold air gathered around her, a large piece of frost condensed in the air out of thin air, and then swept towards the soldiers. Immediately afterwards, Nangong Sanba also threw the Leta rune, and the rune burst in the air. Instantly grabbing the enemy's mind, making it impossible for those soldiers to escape the polar storm sent by Vivienne.
The soldiers of the Iron City State were frightened when they saw a wave of frost coming towards them. Someone shouted in horror: "Ice Witch! They have an Ice Witch! Winter is coming..."
The soldier's shouting stopped abruptly, and the huge hailstone knocked him unconscious: Vivienne had deliberately weakened the attack power, otherwise she could have directly frozen these mortals into ice chips with ultra-low temperature.
These iron city-state soldiers rushed over aggressively, but they all fell to the ground in an instant. This scene was watched by those who were dividing up the spoils in the distance. They were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. They screamed one by one and ran towards the distance desperately, shouting inexplicable words such as "Ice Witch" or "Winter" as they ran. Nangong Sanba gestured a few times with the enchanted crossbow in his hand to discuss with Hao Ren: "Are they all down? I can guarantee that only the legs will be shot."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Let these people go back. Maybe after they report to their bosses, we will be able to meet the important people in this place sooner."
He realized that the order in this ark city had been destroyed in some way, and the original spaceship administrators and system maintenance personnel were probably gone, so to find the current ruler of this "world", he had to start from scratch. planned.
The fleeing people ran fast. Although they were wearing heavy steel armor, they disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye. Soon, only Hao Ren and his party and a group of Iron City soldiers covered in broken ice were left on the scene. Oh, and one more soldier from the "Tower Kingdom" who was in a daze. Hao Ren looked back at the soldier and asked curiously, "What does the ice witch mean?"
Willie couldn't help shaking when he heard the name, and now he looked at Hao Ren and the others with the same horror as those soldiers from the Iron City State when they were attacked by ice and snow: "The legend is true... The legend is true... You are from the cold winter Messenger, you are the messengers of winter! You are going to freeze this world... "
Lily finally couldn't stand this shivering and cowardly guy from the beginning, she slapped Willy on the head: "Master Dong, calm down! We just saved your life!"
Nangong Wuyue reminded in a low voice: "In fact, we were the ones who tripped and held him down just now, otherwise this unlucky kid should have run away..."
Lily waved her hand: "I don't think about the details, and the one who stretched his legs just now is the landlord."
Hao Ren put his hand on Willy's shoulder, restoring the spirit of the young soldier who was still in shock: "Relax, relax, I don't know what you mean by the Ice Witch and Winter, but we are indeed not bad people."
"You know witchcraft..." Willie looked at Vivienne carefully, and quietly moved two steps aside, "But grandma never said that the Ice Witch and the Winterbringer can talk to people... Are you really the Winterbringer? "
Lily thought for a while, then pulled out her flaming claws: "Look, how hot it is! I can still use fire!"
Willie: "…"
"We are... strangers, passing by here," Hao Ren awkwardly said this excuse that no one would believe. It is strange to mention "foreign land" in a closed world that is only a hundred kilometers long, but he There is really no way to explain to the timid and ignorant young man in front of him what is outside the spaceship, "Do you know where there is a place to rest?"
"This is the territory of the Iron City, and they may use an ax to chop off the heads of all outsiders," Willy said with his feet together, dangling uncomfortably, "but if you can escort me back to my family's territory , I can serve as your guarantor and let you have a warm room in Hearth City. The premise is that if you don’t create a blizzard in the city.”
"Escorting all the way and changing the foothold, it's a good deal," Hao Ren shrugged indifferently, "Where is the Hearth City you mentioned?"
Willie pointed to a wide street in the distance: "Follow the road of abundance to the end, and then walk along the road of the kingdom for a while, you can see the wall of the hearth city. But this road is the closest but the most dangerous, not only has Soldiers of the Iron City, and possibly raiders of the Liberty City..."
Hao Ren was thinking about meeting as many people as possible, so he nodded immediately: "Oh, then go this way."
Willie: "Huh?"
"If there is any trouble, we will take care of it," Lily squinted at Willy, "you can just lead the way."
Willie shrunk his neck and nodded silently.
"Then what should we do with these people here?" Nangong Sanba pointed to the unlucky people who fell on the ground and were hit by Vivian's hailstones. "This guy should be waking up soon."
One of the strongest Iron City soldiers moaned softly, slowly waking up from a coma. Seeing this, Willy immediately stepped forward and knocked the soldier unconscious again with the hilt of his sword, then bent down and tore off the rag that depicted the camp's emblem from the opponent's breastplate. Then he tore a few rags from the iron city soldiers next to him.
"What are you doing?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"Take their badge back," Willie said, blushing, "...do business."
Vivian sneered: "But in fact, you just ran away."
"Forget it, this is his own business." Hao Ren waved his hands indifferently, and turned to Willy. "We will help you keep this a secret. Now, take us to meet the more powerful people in this place." (to be continued~^~)
