A young warrior, who seemed very uncomfortable with this bloody place, staggered away from the battlefield. The young man was wearing an armor made of iron plates and artificial leather. Two simple colorful cloth strips came from his shoulder pads.
It hung down from the gap, stained with the blood dripping from his own face. The iron sword in his hand had been bent and curled. This inferior weapon did not bring him any results. The people on his side were completely destroyed in the melee.
Falling at a disadvantage, the young man had no choice but to escape desperately before his own army was wiped out.
The soldier flew across a low wall at the corner of the street. In his panic, he didn't see clearly what shadows were hidden by the wall. Suddenly, a leg stretched out from the corner, tripping him to the ground.
Hao Ren stepped forward and held down the soldier. He had previously thought about how to make first contact with the locals and introduce himself along the way, but he didn't expect to talk to one of them under such circumstances. It seemed that any careful plan could not be solved.
He couldn't keep up with the dramatic change. The soldier was even more shocked after being pressed down. He thought he had been ambushed by the enemy. He immediately tensed up and did not dare to resist. He tried to raise his head and used the corner of his eye to see who the prisoner was.
He lost himself, so he saw a group of strangers in strange clothes. The young man gasped: "Masters... and ladies? I... I am just a soldier..."
"Quiet, we know you are a soldier, and we have many things to ask you," Hao Ren loosened his hand slightly, but used his eyes to tell the soldier not to resist too much, "Who are you? Why are you fighting here?"
The soldier looked at this strangely dressed man in surprise, but his fear prevented him from asking too many questions. He could only honestly tell what he knew: "The Tower Kingdom and the Iron City State are fighting for control of Gear Town here. I just
Just do what you're told and don't know anything else."
As he spoke, he unconsciously covered a piece of colorful cloth hanging on his chest with his hand, as if he was worried that the camp he belonged to would bring about death. Hao Ren noticed this small movement and asked casually: "
So where are you from? What's your name?"
"...Tower Kingdom," the soldier whispered, "Willy. My name is Willy Mormo."
At this time, Lily raised her head and glanced outside, calling in a low voice: "They seem to be finishing the fight... and then they are coming this way!"
The two sides in the melee have already decided the winner. The soldiers who wore the same mark as Willy were outnumbered and finally dispersed, leaving several corpses and bloodstains on the ground. The soldiers who opposed them should be iron soldiers.
The soldiers of the city-state were divided into several groups, some stayed on the scene to collect the loot, and some split up to chase the fleeing enemies. Several tall warriors ran towards this side, and one of them shouted loudly: "This way
!I just saw that brat from a noble family running this way! That sissy can’t run far. Catching him alone is better than ten people!”
Hao Ren glanced at Vivian helplessly: "Kill everyone down, but don't kill them. We are not here to cause destruction."
With that said, he took the initiative to walk out of the shadow of the corner where he was hiding, followed closely by the others.
The soldiers of the Iron City State suddenly stopped in surprise when they saw a few strangers in strange clothes emerging from the front. However, they soon discovered that these people had no armor on them, so they decided that this was a group of people who had found them by chance.
The refugees in the ancient storage cabinet immediately rushed forward with weapons raised and screams.
Vivian opened her hands to these people. A strong cold air gathered around her, and large pieces of ice condensed in the air, and then swept towards the soldiers. Immediately afterwards, Nangong Sanba also threw the Leta Rune and the Talisman.
The text exploded in the air. It instantly captured the enemy's mind, making it impossible for those soldiers to avoid the polar storm sent by Vivian.
When the soldiers of the Iron City State saw a wave of frost coming towards them, they were scared to death. Some people shouted in horror: "Ice Witch! They have an ice witch! Winter is really coming..."
The soldier's shouts stopped suddenly, and the huge hail knocked him unconscious: Vivian had deliberately weakened the power of the attack, otherwise she could have directly used ultra-low temperature to freeze these mortal people into ice flakes.
These soldiers from the Iron City State rushed over menacingly, but they all fell to the ground in an instant. This scene was seen by those who were carving up the spoils in the distance. They were stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted. They all screamed in surprise.
She ran towards the distance desperately, shouting incomprehensible words like "ice witch" or "winter" while running away. Nangong Sanba held the enchanted crossbow in his hand and made several gestures with Hao Ren to discuss: "Let them all go."
Really? I can promise to only shoot the legs."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Let these people go back. Maybe after they report the news to their boss, we can meet the big shots in this place earlier."
He realized that the order in this Ark city had been destroyed in some way. The original spacecraft administrators and system maintenance personnel were probably gone. Therefore, to find the current ruler of this "world", he had to start from scratch.
Planned.
The escapees ran very fast. Even though they were wearing heavy steel plate armor, they disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye. Soon, only Hao Ren and his party were left on the scene, as well as a group of Iron City soldiers covered in broken ice.
, Oh, and there is also a "Tower Kingdom" soldier who was stunned. Hao Ren looked back at the soldier and asked curiously: "What does the ice witch mean?"
Willy couldn't help but tremble when he heard this name. He looked at Hao Ren and the others with the same frightened eyes as those Iron City soldiers when they were attacked by ice and snow: "The legend is true... the legend is true... you are
Messengers of winter, you are messengers of winter! You want to freeze this world..."
Lily finally couldn't stand this guy who was shivering constantly from the beginning and was as timid as a mouse. She slapped Willy on the head and said, "Uncle Dong, calm down! We just saved your life!"
Nangong Wuyue reminded in a low voice: "In fact, it was us who tripped and held him down just now, otherwise this unlucky kid would have run away..."
Lily waved her hand: "I don't care about the details, and the person who just extended his leg was the landlord."
Hao Ren reached out and put his hand on Willy's shoulder, allowing the frightened young soldier to regain some energy: "Relax, relax, I don't know what you mean by the ice witch and the cold winter, but we are indeed not bad people."
"You know witchcraft..." Willy looked at Vivian carefully, and quietly took two steps to the side, "But grandma never said that the ice witch and the messenger of winter could talk to people... You are really not winter.
messenger?"
Lily thought for a while, then took out her flame claws: "Look, how hot it is! I can also use fire!"
Willy: "..."
"We are...foreigners, passing through here," Hao Ren awkwardly said this excuse that no one would believe. It was weird to mention "foreigner" in a closed world that was only a hundred kilometers long, but
He really couldn't explain to the timid and ignorant young man in front of him what was outside the spacecraft, "Do you know where I can rest here?"
"This is the territory of the Iron City. They may chop off the heads of all outsiders with an axe," Willy put his feet together and swayed uneasily, "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 condition is that you will not cause a blizzard in the city."
"It's very cost-effective to escort us all the way and change our place of stay," Hao Ren shrugged indifferently, "Where is the Hearth City you mentioned?"
Willy pointed to a broad street in the distance: "Go along the Road of Plenty to the end, and then walk along the Kingdom Avenue for a while, and you can see the wall of Hearth City. But this road is the closest but the most dangerous. Not only is there
The soldiers of the Iron City State may also encounter the looters of the Free City..."
Hao Ren was thinking about meeting as many people as possible, so he immediately nodded: "Oh, then let's take this road."
Willy: "Huh?"
"If there's any trouble, we'll be responsible for sorting it out," Lily glanced sideways at Willy, "Just lead the way."
Willy shrank his neck and nodded silently.
"Then what should we do with these people here?" Nangong Sanba pointed to the unlucky ones 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 groaned softly and was slowly waking up from a coma. Upon seeing this, Willy immediately stepped forward and knocked the soldier unconscious again with the hilt of his sword, then bent down and pulled off the soldier's breastplate.
A piece of rag depicting the emblem of the camp. Then he pulled a few rags from several Iron City soldiers nearby.
"What are you doing?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"Take their emblems back," Willy's face turned red, "...and make a deal."
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 secret. Now, take us to meet the more powerful people in this place."
