Jenna rode her horse through several villages and cities, heading towards Beacon City in the west.
Along the way, she saw many burned villages and looted and occupied cities.
What a terrible country.
She didn't know when, but this feeling emerged in her heart. What she saw and heard along the way made her pessimistic and disappointed about the future of this country.
She once thought that as long as she developed the planting industry, built more estates, and made everyone's life richer, everything would be fine.
But the ugliness of human nature broke out in the war. After losing the previous order, everything became barbaric and cruel. Both sides killed each other, burned the cities and villages that supported each other, and captured the defeated enemies as slaves. Women
The outcome is even worse.
She didn't know where to direct the sadness and anger in her heart.
The leaders of both sides who started the war? The despicable and greedy soldiers who aided the evildoers? The people who were full of suspicion and disbelief?
When she was a child, her father taught her swordsmanship and combat-related knowledge, but he rarely taught her how to face this not-so-beautiful world.
She wanted to shout to vent the pent-up emotions in her heart, but she didn't know what to shout. In the end, she could only whip the riding crop absentmindedly and continue on her way forward.
Another night, she entered a city to rest.
As soon as I lay down in the hotel, I heard a noise outside, and then there was the sound of a group of hurried footsteps, which was also accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing.
She climbed up from the bed, quietly opened the window and peered into the street below.
A dozen people holding torches were walking on the street. They also held weapons in their hands, including spears, axes, shields, and bows and arrows. They also wore leather armor of different styles.
These people chopped down the scattered guards in the city at night, and then shouted loudly to the surroundings.
"Brothers in Red Oak City, I am Nader, the nephew of the former city lord." As he shouted, many people recognized this strong man.
"Now that the 'Jiwel Faction' captured our city, they plundered and raped women. Such a faction is not worth following at all."
"Why should we tolerate their misbehavior in the city? This is our city, where we live and grow."
"Drive them out and tell them who is the real owner here!"
As he finished speaking, a group of people around him collectively shouted, "Drink!"
For a moment, it was somewhat powerful, making people's hearts surge.
In Red Oak City, there were originally a majority of people from the 'Hunting Bow Faction', but some time ago the coalition forces of the 'Halber Faction' captured the city and it was occupied. Later, because the coalition forces wanted to continue their offensive, most of the people were taken away.
Leave, leaving only part of the defenders behind.
And this part of the defenders, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, ransacked and plundered the property in the city on the pretext of attacking the "Bow Hunter Faction" comrades. This also caused a lot of dissatisfaction, which completely broke out today.
After the shouts of this group of people rang out in the street below, some local people were encouraged to join in. The team was about to gradually grow. On the other side of the street, the Halberd Clan troops who had stayed behind finally arrived.
.
Perhaps the recent robbery was too smooth, which made them careless. They only slowly came to their senses after some scattered team members were killed.
At this time, this group of guards were roughly arranged on the street with shields and spears, and they rushed towards the opposite side. There were not many crossbowmen among them, and most of them used spears and halberds as weapons.
The battle in the city soon started.
The leather-armored team that was so majestic just now and shouting loudly soon suffered heavy losses. There were only a small number of them and they were gathered scattered. During the battle, they were quickly driven away by the defenders holding spears and shields. The bows and arrows fired by them were quickly driven away.
They are also often blocked by shields.
Seeing that this group of people was about to abandon their armor and end in defeat, a man holding a long and narrow scimitar suddenly appeared behind the defenders.
He jumped down from the house next to him, cutting with the scimitar in his hand like a sawtooth, taking away several lives. Then when the opponent turned around, he jumped up again and hid behind the shadow of a certain house.
After going back and forth several times, the pursuit failed, and the morale of the defenders began to collapse. The forward advance slowed down greatly, turning into constant suspicion of turning back step by step. At this time, the enemies on the opposite side gradually regrouped, and the sound of bow and arrow shooting became increasingly intensive.
stand up.
Finally, under attack from both front and back, the morale of the defenders finally collapsed and they fled in all directions, being killed one by one by this mysterious scimitar wielder.
His strength should be around Sequence 4, but his body is extremely agile and his jumping ability is extremely strong. It should be that the extraordinary job description comes with related special abilities.
Watching this scene secretly, Jenna made a guess in her mind.
Before Sequence 5, most professions did not have the means to fly, and some specialized professions relied on this kind of displacement to gain excellent advantages in combat.
If it were in an open area, it would not be so easy for the scimitar player to succeed. She commented in her mind that although Jenna is not old, her vision has become higher after seeing various geniuses in school.
, not surprised.
Any third-year Emenas student could easily do it, and most of them could do it better.
After the victory in the battle in the city, the local team cheered, and then the doors of the houses along the street gradually opened, and some people came out to celebrate the victory together.
Although it was night, the city was lively again.
The scattered defenders of the Halberd Sect were arrested by the angry citizens, beaten and insulted as if to vent their anger. The leaders just now also joined in, beating and scolding these enemies together with the citizens, venting their resentment.
Nader, the nephew of the former city lord, is now standing on a high platform with torches with bare arms and a beer glass in his hand, kicking over the garrison soldiers who just fought with them. These soldiers who were captured were all
Tied with rope.
"Why, don't speak now. Just now you were pointing a gun at me."
"Look at this group of people, they are just jackals in the wild, scum among scum, not soldiers guarding the country." Nader spat at the people on the ground, then drank a large gulp of beer to vent his anger.
Feeling the panic from the battle just now.
Under the high platform were crowds of people watching, and Jenna was among them at this time.
"good!"
The surrounding crowd watched this scene and shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha." Nader laughed proudly, and some people wearing leather armor around him also laughed.
After that, they humiliated these Halberd Sect soldiers, pushed them to the front, and let the people in the audience beat them nearby to vent their dissatisfaction, and then had them beheaded one by one with axes.
Looking at the shouting citizens around her, Jenna shook her head secretly, and then slowly backed away.
After one night passed, she was ready to set off again and leave here for Beacon City.
"examine?"
In front of the city gate, Jenna looked at the guard in front of her with confusion.
"Yes, in order to prevent spies from entering the city and the remnants of the Halberd Sect from escaping, you must undergo inspection when leaving the city." The soldier looked at the girl maliciously, looking at her delicate face and well-proportioned figure, ready to move.
"How to check?" Jina suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked in a low voice.
"Go to the hut on the side first, and we will check your package and the things you carry with you," the guard said.
Jenna frowned and slowly looked at the guards. After a few seconds, she spoke.
"I am a student of Emenas, not a member of the Halberd sect." Then she took out the badge and certificate she carried with her.
"Emenas?" Several guards were dubious, looking at the badge and hesitating.
At this time, a guard with a somewhat stout figure came over, snatched the certificate from Jena's hand, and then grabbed her wrist.
"Little girl, stop bluffing and come over here to get checked. We are doing this for your own good."
Suddenly, the guard pulled Jina forward several steps before the latter reacted and broke free from his pull.
"I am a student of Emenas and I will not participate in any fight organized by the state, so..."
"So what? I've seen a lot of people like you. Just because you're a student, you can do whatever you want."
"Hurry up and come in. Didn't your mother teach you to be obedient?"
Jenna felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart, and the scabbard in her hand was squeezed tighter and tighter.
