In the early morning, Samira walked out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel and put on tight-fitting light leather armor in the bedroom.
She pushed open the terrace door and stood on the large terrace on the second floor. She could see that the front courtyard was filled with various felt tents. After climbing a set of stairs, she could reach another terrace. From here, she could see the backyard.
The large garden that had not been trimmed for a long time looked like an airtight primitive jungle.
Samira was in a good mood, and her eyes fell on an umbrella-shaped tree in the back garden. The dense canopy of the tree seemed to be home to a group of appendix-shaped copper-billed sparrows. She couldn't help but take out the sky strike bow and wanted to shoot it from the tree.
A bird comes.
"Do you want to kill them?"
A sweet voice came from the roof behind Samira.
"Um?"
Samira put down her Sky Strike Bow and turned to look at Xigna, who was sitting on the tiles with her knees in her arms.
Signa shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile to Samira: "Those birds, I think they are not very tasty. We actually have better choices, right?"
Her big, dark eyes flickered and looked very beautiful under the morning sun.
With her loose curly hair and fair face, she looks a bit like Selena, but completely different.
Samira had to admit that when Xigna was quiet, even a second-level powerhouse like her couldn't sense her aura.
"What do you want to say?" Samira turned around and looked at the weird little girl.
Xigna looked at Samira and said very seriously: "I can take you to catch better prey and let those birds go."
Samira put the Sky Strike Bow back on her back and asked curiously: "Where are you taking me?"
Xigna cheered, slid down the rubble, then stood in front of Samira, cheered and said: "Go out with Dak, we will go wherever he goes! I know he will definitely go out today, and
It shouldn't be to the military camp. Let's go out with him. Then we will definitely find more interesting prey. He doesn't want to take me, but he will definitely take you. Then I will follow you secretly. "
"..."
Samira found out that she was being plotted by Xigna, and she wanted to refuse. She didn't want to have many clingy little troubles around her.
But just when Samira was about to refuse, Xigna's big eyes were suddenly filled with 'Next time I will help you create opportunities like last night', and Samira immediately changed her mind.
Extend your palms.
A crisp clap sounded on the terrace, frightening a few sparrows hiding under the eaves.
…
Surdak left the house on horseback. This time he still wanted to take Samira and Gary Decker with him.
Originally, Signa and Nika were going to stay in the house here with Selina, Naomi, and Gulitem, but what Suldak didn't expect was that Signa didn't know how to use it.
He actually succeeded in convincing Samira, and the two actually rode the same horse together.
He knew Samira's character very well. She was the kind of person who hated trouble the most, and he didn't know what Xigna used to impress her.
When they went out, the refugees who lived in the front courtyard had already started to light a fire and cook. Almost all of them looked at Suldak and his party with curious and grateful eyes.
There were really a lot of people on the streets in Epsom City, but no one blocked the avenue, so it was smooth all the way to the city gate.
A large number of people waiting to leave the city gathered at the city gate. Everyone lined up in a long queue. There were more people entering the city, the queue was longer, and the inspection was more stringent. Many people in the queue were planning to enter the city.
They were all stopped one after another and then driven out by the city gate guards.
Surdak was riding a horse and was in the queue leaving the city.
Probably because of the noble badge he wore on his chest, he left the city smoothly. When those people crowded on the suspension bridge saw Suldak riding a horse and walked out of it, they all moved away to the sides.
Take the initiative to make a way out.
When Suldak left the city this time, he had no intention of inspecting the Western Route Army camp.
After walking out of the city, he discovered that there were at least tens of thousands of refugees gathered outside the city.
These refugees seem to be crowded at the city gate. Some people have set up simple tents, some people are simply lying on blankets or mats, some people have built pergolas, and some people are simply lying there under the cover of the sky. These refugees
Almost all of them are civilians, and most of them are old people, women and children.
The queue entering the city was at least two kilometers away, but not even one-third of the people could agree with the conditions for entering the city.
"Why don't those city gate guards let them enter the city?" Xigna asked curiously, sitting in Samira's arms.
"Maybe there's not enough space in the city." Samira answered with one arm around her and the other holding the reins.
"Don't the portals send away a large number of people every day?" Xigna asked doubtfully.
"Who knows..."
Samira didn't care about this, all she could see was Surdak's back.
Compared to the city of Epsom, the world outside the city seemed more real. A large number of refugees crowded at the city gate. After finally getting out, he clearly remembered that John and Lisa's home was on the hillside opposite a field of sunflowers outside the city.
.
Now, the sunflower field can no longer be found.
The hillside is covered with various simple wooden houses, some of which are even connected together and covered with some simple rainproof tarpaulins.
This shanty town originally formed a strip along the river outside the city, and there were even one or two houses scattered in other places.
But now it is overwhelming, and the slopes on both sides of the river are crowded with various simple wooden houses. These wooden houses are so dense that you can't see the end at a glance. After leading the Lord's army for so long, Surdak has some experience in estimating the number. According to his estimate
, there must be at least hundreds of thousands of people living in this shanty town outside Epsom.
Just a casual glance will make you feel a little big...
Surdak even wanted to give up the idea in his heart, but he just thought of the faces in his memory, and then he bravely walked through the dilapidated wooden houses.
Looking at these dilapidated wooden houses from a distance, it seems that you can still see intermittent alleys, but when Suldak breaks in on horseback, you will find that the roads in this kind of shanty town are actually so narrow, and they are also very narrow.
The alleys extend in all directions, but these alleys are never straight. As you walk, you will find that you have strayed far away from the direction you want to go.
Fortunately, he was riding a horse and wearing a noble badge on his chest. This showed his noble status and would automatically keep many civilians away from them.
There are many thieves here, and Surdak can tell from their timid eyes. Most of these thieves are poor. When they stare at Surdak and his party on horseback, they look like
The red-eyed hyena, which had been starving for half a month in the wilderness, looked at the lions. Although it was terribly afraid, driven by hunger, the desire in its eyes was swallowing up the last bit of timidity bit by bit.
They saw Samira who was wearing dark red tight-fitting leather armor and she was holding Xigna in her arms, so they wanted to surround her.
Once you are surrounded by them, something may inevitably be missing from you.
Those hands that couldn't help but stretch towards Sammy were like the clusters of bones-like hands that stretched out from the bloody door every time he summoned Count Faunak to come out.
These people crowded up, wanting to touch the war horse under Samira, wanting to touch her calves wearing greaves...
The next moment, Samira's body overflowed with a murderous intent that only comes from the battlefield, the kind of thick murderous intent that only penetrates into the body after her hands are covered with blood.
This group of refugees who were not qualified to enter Epsom City were like a swarm of smelly flies, scattering with a 'bang'.
They are a group of cowards who have no courage to go to the battlefield, and they are also a group of forgotten people. They have lost their last bit of courage in their continuous escape, and no one even cares about their life or death.
Surdak regretted a little. If he had brought a cavalry squad with him when he came out this time, there might not have been so much trouble.
After all this trouble, the group of people was completely lost in this shanty town. Except for the city wall of Epsom City in the distance, there was no reference anywhere. Surdak could only ask around.
.
Surdak began to ask the poor people sitting at the door of the wooden house about 'John' and 'Lisa'.
When mentioning the name John, no one knew it at first.
But after asking for a long time, there is always someone who knows a few people named John. After all, this name is very common. If you continue to chat, you will find that the age and identity of the owners of these names are difficult to match the catapult that Suldak is looking for.
Repairman.
In fact, Xigna couldn't understand what Surdak was looking for. She originally thought that Surdak would go around the military camp and then inspect the terrain around Epsom City, because tomorrow the West Route Army would
Now that we're out of here, we should at least figure out where to go.
But he didn't expect that Surdak would plunge into the slums and inquire about the two people...
Finally, I found out about John and Lisa in a shanty town. There were quite a few people here who knew about the couple, and the John they described was completely consistent with the person in Suldak's memory.
Surdak let out a long breath, knowing that he had come to the right place.
He selected a big boy who was the most active from the crowd and threw him a silver coin. Suldak said to him:
"You take us to find him. After we find him, I will give you some more money."
The big boy quickly caught the silver coin and wiped it hard on the linen clothes on his chest. He looked at the luster on the silver coin with a look of surprise, then licked his face and asked:
"Can you give me something to eat?"
"certainly."
Surdak took out a baked wheat cake from his linen pocket and threw it to him.
So Suldak saw the wooden house in his memory.
The house they live in is still the old dilapidated wooden house, but this area has now become the center of a slum.
Spreading outward from here, all the way to the distant hillside, there are wooden houses like huts everywhere. If Surdak were to look for it by himself, he might not be able to find it even if it takes ten days and a half.
The big boy who took a silver coin as a reward cheered, then got into the alley next to him and disappeared.
Suldak's eyes fell on some wooden tables and chairs placed at the door of the wooden house. These simple furniture seemed to have not been painted. He jumped off the horse, led Gubolai Ma and stood at the door of the wooden house, the look in his eyes revealed.
A kind of remembrance.
That kind of look is like a longing for the past. It seems like a long time, but in fact it hasn't been that long...
Until a man came out of the wooden house with an oil drum and a brush. He was about to paint the families at the door with varnish, but it was hard not to notice the three tall ancient Bolan horses at the door. He squinted,
He looked over with some hesitation.
"Hey John, long time no see..."
Surdak let go of the reins in his hands, strode over, and hugged the man's broad shoulders with both hands.
The man gradually woke up from his confusion, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he looked at Suldak and said excitedly:
"You are the Knight of Surdak...Oh, have you become a noble first? Oh my God!"
Samira, Gary Decker, and Signa stood quietly behind. In fact, they knew that Suldak had served in the military in the Warsaw plane, but they didn't expect that he would actually come here.
Find someone.
John's waist looked thicker, he also had a big belly, and he had a large bald head, but he looked very energetic. He turned around and shouted into the wooden house: "Lisa, Lisa, come and take a look."
There was a sound of running footsteps in the house, and a woman wearing an apron ran out of the wooden house holding a five or six-year-old boy in her hand.
After inviting Suldak into the wooden house, Lisa took the boy and ran to the kitchen to boil water and make tea. However, John was a little at a loss as he looked at Suldak sitting on the wooden sofa and couldn't help but murmured.
:
"Why are you back? Why are you back at this time? The plane of Warsaw is almost rotten to the core."
Surdak looked at the furnishings in the house with a smile. Although a lot of furniture was added, most of the places remained as they were.
"Someone has to come back and clean up this mess, right?" Suldak said calmly.
John looked straight at the magic pattern structure on his body, and finally discovered Surdak's changes belatedly.
He quickly asked Samira and Gary Decker to sit down, looked at Signa, who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and asked with some concentration: "Is this your daughter? She's already so old..."
"Yeah! Even so!" Suldak admitted naturally.
Signa was not moved at all, and even gave Suldak a blank look, as if she was dissatisfied that he had taken advantage of her.
Samira looked at the wooden house very curiously, and even looked across the corridor and landed on Lisa's back in the kitchen.
"Are you here with the Bena reinforcements this time?" John asked.
Suldak nodded again.
"Since you have already served in the military in the Warsaw plane, even the military has no reason to let you do it again!" John thought that Suldak had been treated unfairly by the military, so he was a little aggrieved.
"I can't refuse this recruitment." Suldak said while sitting on the sofa. He paused and then said:
"Besides, I have a reason to come back. My brothers are still lying in the mountains. I want to take them home this time. In addition, the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge still owe me something. This time
I plan to take them all back together."
