Krusov looked at Krulak, whose face gradually became rosy under the influence of the holy treatment, and asked.
"Brother Krusov, Pavlyuchenko and the others are trying to protect me..."
At this point, the young man was already crying.
Of the nearly fifteen militiamen in the investigation team, he was the only one who came back alive to report the news to everyone.
"Look, it's smoke!"
At this moment, screams of surprise came from outside the hotel.
Ren and Leonina walked out of the hotel and looked towards the sky, only to see straight lines of wolf smoke rising straight into the sky.
"East, north, and west!"
The Northland barbarian who followed the two men out of the hotel looked at the direction where the smoke was rising, his expression gradually becoming serious.
As soon as he said this, the professionals gathered around Krusov laughed one by one.
"Also, Your Excellency Ren, the agreement between us is temporarily suspended. If I can survive this war, then we will continue our agreement; if I unfortunately die in the battle, then I can only apologize to you in advance.
Already."
Krusov looked stunned for a moment, and then said in a dumbfounded voice.
In the entire Howling Tribal Federation, the largest number of spellcasters are shamans and warlocks, not spellcasters with professional backgrounds such as mages.
Ren waved his hands and laughed loudly:
She looked up at the distant sky. The low gray-black clouds made her almost breathless.
"Those orc clans launch expeditionary wars every one or two years. This town is located on the federal border, and the army is often too late to rescue. Therefore, we are all accustomed to being ready to evacuate at this time."
QTMD sanity!
"Krusov is right."
A professional dressed as a warrior walked up to Krusov, stretched out his fist and bumped into the barbarian as a greeting.
Having said this, the eyes of this strong northern man gradually turned red.
"Everyone hide!"
In his eyes, this beautiful female mage can play a greater role by joining the mage corps of the federal army.
Leolina sniffed.
Renn laughed and winked at the female mage beside him, who also pursed her lips in amusement.
In this team, apart from the two of them, there was only Krusov.
Along the way, they never heard any other sounds except the howling of the cold wind.
The hotel door curtain was opened again, and the hotel owner holding a sword and shield patted Krusov on the shoulder and said half-jokingly.
Animals with a keen sense of danger have long since fled this area.
At this time, she finally understood why the Howling Federation was called the most united place by her mentor.
There was a hint of apology in the barbarian's words.
Looking through the gaps between the branches and leaves, in the sky, a falcon spread its wings and flew past the two people's field of vision.
Ren's deep voice came to the female mage's ears.
"Sir Ren, your threats seem a bit unreasonable..."
"The reason is simple, because this is the hometown where we were born and raised. We will do our best to delay the invasion of those bastards and create time for everyone to evacuate!"
"Krusov, take care of yourself, kid!"
"Dear Krusov, I think you have forgotten my profession! As a paladin, should I remain indifferent to the invasion of the orcs? That would go against the principles of a paladin!"
He had already asked Krulak about the general situation.
"They, like me, all came from the town of Kronk. The reason why everyone puts aside all their affairs and returns here at this time of year is also to guard against the invasion of the orcs."
The slightly anxious voice of the barbarian came from the front.
The northern barbarian shrugged and said helplessly.
"Well, it seems that I can only thank Lord Ren for your help on behalf of the folks in this town."
Facing those hateful greenskins, what sense do we need?
Just cut it and that’s it!
"No, spellcasters are extremely valuable resources and should not be wasted in small-scale encounters. If you are really willing to help us, madam, please join the federal army and become a member of the mage group. That's where you are.
Where it really makes a difference.”
But the next moment, the two people who looked at each other burst into laughter almost at the same time.
In the biting cold wind, the three-person team marched in the direction of due north in the snow-covered wilderness.
Seeing the surprised expression on the female mage's face from ear to ear, Krusov grinned.
"On the battlefield the year before last, my right arm was crippled by those green-skinned bastards. With everyone's money, I asked a priest to use advanced restoration techniques to cure it. My only wish this year is to kill more orcs and barbarians.
, and, if possible, these bastards had better chop off my left arm, because my right arm really can’t be hurt.”
Among the three of them, Krusov, who was extremely familiar with the terrain around the town of Kronk, was at the front and responsible for reconnaissance. In the middle of the team was Leolina, a spell caster, and at the end was Renn.
"We all know that this is very dangerous. Facing the orc army, if we are not careful, we will never come back, but we are still willing."
He smiled and pointed to his left shoulder.
…………
"You are all heroes worthy of respect!"
The bone-chilling air made Leolina couldn't help but tighten the collar of her winter wolf fur coat.
"Are you surprised to see this scene?"
Crusov declined the female mage's request.
Leonina was stunned for a moment before being dragged behind a big pine tree by Ren.
"All the professionals in the town, gather in front of the hotel. I, Krusov, am waiting for you here, so be quick!"
"The elderly, women and children evacuate first, and the young adults evacuate last!"
No matter who it is, it is clear that this is a sign of the beginning of the war.
Soon, under the command of Krusov, the more than forty professionals gathered in front of the hotel were quickly divided into more than a dozen four-person teams. Renne and Leolina were captured by Krusov.
Alone in a small team.
"My request is the same as hers. I hope to be able to participate in this sniper battle, and I hope you can agree, Krusov. Otherwise, even if you return safely in the end, there will be no need to discuss the agreement between us."
Soon, his voice echoed throughout the town.
After that, he led the others to gather towards the center of the town.
The female mage said seriously.
"I'm just asking you, do you agree or not?"
"It's the orc's falcon!"
"Let's go! I wish you all good luck in martial arts and a safe return!"
"Once we defeat those green-skinned bastards, I'll treat you to free barbecue for a week!"
Suddenly, a loud eagle cry came from the distant sky.
The barbarians surrounded by the crowd loudly wished everyone who set off.
Their militia team encountered the orcs about fifteen kilometers due north of the town.
He pointed to the professionals who were gradually gathering here.
Calculating the time, the vanguard of the orc expeditionary force is still less than ten kilometers away from the town at most.
He pointed to Leolina beside him.
"If possible, please let me join this sniper battle!"
"Those bastards must be around here!"
What should we do?
The female mage's eyes were full of inquiry.
what to do?
"Kill them of course!"
Ren and Krusov, who came over quietly, said in unison.
