The night before, all the supplies left behind on the streets of the town of Maas had disappeared without a trace overnight.It has been ten days since I returned to the city of El, and all the four gates of the south, east, and west have been masonized with sand and stones, and the situation outside the city this year is much more severe than in previous years.Thousands of barbarians from the Storm Bear tribe surrounded the city, and the slums outside the city have now become a gathering place for the Storm Bear tribe, and almost every day savages emerge from the snow-capped wilderness and mountains to silently gather in the slums outside the city.I stood on a high hill in the distance, watching the barbarians carrying food on their backs, driving the Terran compatriots to slowly gather under the city of El, some barbarians even carried some huge trees for siege, silently walked from among the mountains, thousands of barbarian warriors under the leadership of the great commander, orderly scattered in those dwellings along the moat, some of the dwellings were too low, these barbarians rudely lifted the roof, and slept directly in the open houses, they were not afraid of the cold at all.The moat outside the city had frozen completely, and the barbarians had driven groups of human slaves to build the crudest siege engines on the icy river, as simple as tripods on top of each other.The barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe were far more rude than the other barbarians, driving their captured slaves under the city to build siege engines, something that no barbarian tribe had ever done before, and the barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe were even more cruel, slaughtering and destroying manors along the way.Unexpectedly, the situation in El City this year is much more serious than in previous years, these barbarians gathered under the city so much, it seems that they also have plans to attack the city, otherwise they would not have driven human slaves to build siege equipment, seeing this, the eyes of everyone in the team showed some worry, I have never seen such a big battle, and I can't close my mouth for a long time when I grow up.Actually, I'm still quite worried about Ryan and Fanny in the city, after all, it's been more than a month since they came out of the house, and during this time, our news can't be conveyed back to El City, at this time, Ryan and they should already know about me following the eagles out of the city to hunt, and I don't know how Fanny will worry."
These barbarians haven't figured out the true defensive strength of El City yet, and they won't back down without some hardship!"
Captain Cynthia looked coldly at the smoke-filled civilian area outside the city, and said hatefully, in her heart, the city of Elle is impregnable, and the young people of my generation have not experienced the harsh winter of thirty years ago, and they don't know how the people here resist the barbarians."
The style of these barbarians this year is very different from those of the previous barbarians!"
The harrier eagle on Basil's shoulder fluttered its wings, but he calmed it, and if there was a harrier eagle rising into the sky so close, it would surely be alerted by the barbarians, and our purpose was to enter the city, and we had no thought of anything wrong with the thousands of barbarian armies.The expression on his face was a little solemn, Basile was undoubtedly a very qualified soldier, he always flaunted himself as an emperor, restrained himself, and demanded himself.I would love to ask him: How did he feel when he saw his fellow citizens on the moat enslaved by barbarians?
But if this guy is really provoked by my words and rushes over to die, it's not a joke.Wayne, who was standing beside Cynthia, said expectantly: "I hope those barbarian powerhouses won't disappoint me too much this year, Commander, after we return to the city, let me participate in the city defense!"
At this time, the city of Ell should be short of professional archers, and I want to meet the axemen among the barbarians. ”"Even if you don't say it, I will do it, when will you be willing to calm down, you are so adventurous, who will dare to marry you in the future?"
Cynthia put one hand around Wayne's shoulder and sighed.This topic made Basille on the side a little unnatural, but I can see that he has no thought about Miss Wayne at all, but I can't blame him, he is so handsome and handsome, and he is a talented young scout in the military, there must be many admirers in El City, there are so many beautiful girls in El City, it is strange to be able to take a fancy to Wayne.Captain Cynthia also noticed that the atmosphere was a little delicate, she thought about changing the topic, and her eyes happened to see Ann pouting and curiously watching the minotaur Ruka eat the cake, twenty-five inch wheat cake, Ruka has to eat at least one time If the master is familiar with it, I would also like to buy a few rolls, and among my friends, there will also be those who are interested in these scrolls!
”I asked him curiously: "If it's just for merit, why don't you take it out and share it with so much hunting this time?"
”There is a reason for my words, because this time he has obtained at least a dozen barbarian left ears, why do you need to go to such great lengths to buy magic scrolls!
Basil hesitated for a moment and said, "That's different, this kind of merit of killing barbarians, no one will be too much!"
If this bothers you, forget it. ”Don't dare to look into the distance for too long, in this white world, everything is so dazzling, the slightest carelessness will cause snow blindness, it is not a joke.I touched my bulging magic pocket, and suddenly thought of something very funny, but I said, "Actually, it's not what you think, whoever wants to buy such magic scrolls, I will tell him that these scrolls are sold in a magic grocery store next to the ice shop in the small market next to the magic academy, oh!
By the way, the ice shop is no longer there, and no one has bought ice in such a cold and harsh winter, and the proprietress there has changed it into a hot pot restaurant!
”"What is a hot pot restaurant, is it a shop that sells pots?"
Basille frowned and asked me, seeing that I smiled and didn't answer, but his eyes lit up, and then said to me mysteriously: "You don't want to tell me that the proprietress of the hot pot restaurant is the owner of the magic grocery store" I also nodded speechlessly, my original intention was just to tell him the specific address, but I didn't let him think so, but his guess can't be wrong."
So, even if the grocery store is out of stock, if I can go to the hot pot restaurant and buy a pot first, maybe I'll order the latest magic scroll, right?"
Basil said with excitement in his eyes.I shook my head and nodded, and at last I didn't know what I was trying to say.But Basil seemed to have understood, and seeing his excitement, he almost pulled off one of his beloved harrier tail feathers."
Ji Jia, you give me a thorough explanation, how much does this kind of first-level high-level magic scroll cost?"
Cynthia asked me, but I didn't expect Cynthia to be interested in those Frost Nova magic scrolls as well."
Do you want to buy it too?"
I asked Cynthia curiously."
If the price is right, who doesn't want good things!"
Cynthia said to me seriously.I took out a magic crystal as deep as the blue of the sea from my magic waist bag, this magic crystal is as big as a peach pit, it is a standard ordinary magic crystal, and the water magic contained in it is also very pure and full, I held this magic crystal in my hand and said to them: "A magic crystal like this, one scroll needs to be exchanged for two magic crystals." ”"Whew!"
The sound of exhaling and inhaling came at the same time, and I saw that Basil and Cynthia were both relieved, and it seemed that the price of this scroll should be within their affordability, and the sound of inhaling cold air was made by Wayne, who looked at me with a long mouth, and asked me stupidly, "Is a scroll so expensive?"
My goddess, Jiga, can you tell me how many scrolls you used in the battle at the pass?
”"There are still fifty sheets, why are you counting this?
Don't worry too much about that!
”I waved at Wayne and turned to Ruka the Minotaur as I walked over to the Barbarians of the Storm Bear tribe who didn't know much about the Terran city, and they didn't know what kind of murderous motives were hiding behind the high walls.Whether it's the giant crossbow bolts on the towers, or the heavy trebuchets or meat grinders on the towers, they are all powerful weapons against the barbarians.Hearing Cynthia say that there are more powerful weapons in the magic academy on the central mountain, I wanted to ask her more details, but she refused to say more.During the day, the barbarians were always tempting on a small scale, carrying long ladders and thick door panels above their heads, and slowly rushing down the city.The knights' defenders only forced them back with their strong bows, but the rain-like feathered arrows on the door panel did not have much effect, and did not cause serious damage to the barbarians, as if they were quietly waiting for the siege engine to be completed.Now these barbarians have carried a batch of giant trees from the mountains, and there are some people on the walls of the city of El who are silently watching, and there are several knights of the eagle hovering high in the sky above the city, and before that, I never knew that the knights of the city of El still have such birds of prey.Taking advantage of the moonless night of the evening, Basil climbed the high wall, informed the Knights of the Guard Battalion on the wall, and then we secretly crossed the frozen moat, and at the corner of the wall, ten men rode in baskets and were tied to the head of the city.When our group came out of the rattan baskets, I saw the city walls full of garrison equipment, neatly stacked in long rows, and those feathered arrows falling in bundles behind the walls, and I saw half a hot baked wheat cake on the battlements, and it looked like the soldiers of the night vigil were eating in shifts!
Seeing Captain Cynthia jumping out of the basket vigorously, and the guards on the city wall cast admiring glances at Cynthia, but at me, Ann and Lady Jenny, and the group of ladies and sisters, they cast sympathetic and comforting eyes, at this time I wanted to say to them loudly: Actually, Lao Tzu is also an eagle!
Just when I was extremely depressed, I suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Jijia, my God, it's really you, why did you come back from outside the city, they said that you became an eagle, is this actually true?"
”I looked over at the sound of a voice, and I saw Senior Benjamin, wearing a knight's heavy armor, walking from not far away, and said to me excitedly with a look of surprise on his face."
Benjamin Senpai!"
I screamed."
Sir, everything is normal here in the fifth squad!"
Just now, he looked at Cynthia and Basille with envy, and couldn't help but peek at Mrs.
Jenny's beautiful warriors, who stood up straight like bamboo poles, waiting for Benjamin's review."
While resting, pay attention to vigilance, those barbarians have been getting more and more restless recently, you should be more careful, I have a reliable secret report, saying that there are barbarians and strong people who are preparing to sneak into the city recently, you have to keep your eyes open, don't go wrong!"
Senior Benjamin waved his hand imposingly and said to his men.Then he smiled at me and said, "Just now some soldiers reported to me that there was a group of eagles on the city wall returning to the city, and asked me to verify my identity, but I didn't think it was you!"
