A few days later, Boris learned that the place he was assigned to was called Black Crow Castle, which was an ordinary castle at the foot of the Great Wall. There were many castles like this at the foot of the Great Wall. They were infrastructure on the inside of the Great Wall, and their defensive functions were almost negligible.
.The main function is to provide a place for the Great Wall guards to eat and sleep. After all, a bare city wall with nothing is unrealistic. People always need to eat and rest. There is a cold wind blowing on the top of the Great Wall all year round. Normal people
I can't stand it. There needs to be a job rotation system.
After arriving at Black Crow Castle, Boris had almost no chance to touch a sword. Every day, his job was to bring tea and water to the veterans, clean the dung buckets, and go to the forest to cut down trees to light fires, boil water, and cook rice.
Although there are ten thousand unwillingnesses, it has to be done. There are no nobles and civilians on the Great Wall, only soldiers and officers. If you want to win the respect of others, you can only rely on yourself. It has nothing to do with what kind of father you have.
These are the words often spoken by Commander-in-Chief Warwick Carr.
Boris wanted to tell them that it doesn’t matter who they are, they can rely on themselves. But you have to give them a chance. Without any chance, if you let the recruits do such chores all day long, when will they be able to get ahead? Even if they have martial arts, they will be given
A woodshed boy who does odd jobs.
He once reported this to the instructor who brought him here, but what he received was a look of disdain. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only keep it in his heart.
If the only free time in a day is to finish all the work, sit by the school field and watch the new recruits and veterans fight and swordfight.
According to the words of Commander-in-Chief Warwick, it will take at least half a year for a newcomer to touch the sword. Boris can't wait that long, but there is nothing he can do. In fact, sometimes even the fighting on the school field cannot attract him.
In Boris's opinion, the veterans were okay, but the movements of the new recruits were so stiff and slow. Even ten of them couldn't beat him.
Since coming to Black Crow Castle, the only thing that attracts Boris the most is the Great Wall. How many times has Boris wanted to climb this cliff wall and see the world outside the wall. Standing under the wall, he can only see the cold wind.
It blew and blew up the stream of cold air, passing over the top of the high wall over and over again.
The huge wall blocks the cold current from the north, but Black Crow Castle is still so cold at night. Boris cannot imagine how the people patrolling at the top of the Great Wall can withstand the endless cold at night. They call those who patrol and guard the Great Wall at night
The Night Watchmen are elite warriors who have survived countless actual battles. They are few in number and there are few guards on the Great Wall. Sometimes they are responsible for patrolling the border for several miles alone.
Boris admired the Night Watchmen very much. In his opinion, these people were the real elites of the kingdom. They had no desire for glory and wealth and devoted the rest of their lives to this desperate Great Wall. The key point was that after bloody battles,
Maybe no one recognizes their names or remembers their deeds. They were originally people forgotten by the world. Even if their bones were eaten by wild beasts, no one would remember them. All we know is that there is a group of Great Wall guards in the North who regard death as nothing more than death.
Loneliness and coldness occupy their souls. Boris, the bravest man in Kislev and a true warrior, thinks so.
Because it is located on the border of the wilderness, the news is transmitted very slowly. When Boris learned that Kislev was in civil strife and that Lord Lord Rhodes of the North had led his army south to attack the city of Kislev, it was already a month later.
.
Boris doesn't know what the situation is like in Kislev now. If the Northern Army set out a month ago, then it should have reached Kislev by now. I wonder what his father will choose? Is he going to pick up the weapon?
Weapons to defend the city, or to open the door and let Rhodes and his legion enter the city?
Boris was distraught. He was worried not only about his father, but also about Dennis... I wonder how Dennis is doing now? It was his own weakness that brought them to this point.
If you had been firmer at the beginning, there would not have been this love affair, and there would not have been so many bad things in the future. But people are always like this, and it is easy to be carried away by temporary emotions. By the time you regret it, it is already too late.
Father...are you okay?
Dennis...forgive me...
Whenever Boris couldn't sleep late at night, he would get up and pray, praying to Father Bear to give him a short period of peace. And for a while, he almost gave up his faith. Now it seems that everything in the past,
I really shouldn’t have. I gave up too much, and getting to where I am today is the result of my own consequences.
Then, let yourself bear it alone. This is punishment, this is the punishment of the gods. Boris said to himself. Only in this way can he survive this painful and miserable day.
Life in Black Crow Castle is still miserable. Although Boris really wants to know the news about the southern city of Kislev, he can never leave here. No one can leave here. Packhorses and war horses are strictly kept in captivity, and they need to be used every time they are used.
It has the handprint of the Commander-in-Chief.
Without a horse, Boris couldn't go far at all. What's more, this is the Great Wall of Despair. To the south, there is no man's land for a long distance. A person without food supplies cannot cross the vast wilderness. What's more, if you escape back, you can
What's going on? I am no longer the prominent and majestic Boris Bocca I used to be. If my family is humiliated because of me, how can I still have the face to stand in front of my father?
In painful thought, Boris could only choose to return to Black Crow Castle and endure it silently. The six months of suffering passed quickly, giving him the opportunity to get a weapon, knock down all the recruits here, and stand firm on the Great Wall.
heel.
But the reality is always so cruel. The guards of the Great Wall live in such poverty. Their food is acceptable. A large area of land south of the Great Wall can be cultivated and grazed freely, so the food is not bad. But there is no entertainment. The only entertainment is
School fight...
As for women, the only women in the entire Black Crow Castle are the Frost Witches transferred from the southern city of Kislev, and there are only two of them.
Moreover, the Frost Witches are extremely aloof and only appear when new city walls are being built. It is difficult to even take a look at them. They have their own independent rooms and bathrooms, and their meals are brought up by servants and placed at the door.
On weekdays, they would cover half of their faces with masks. Although half of their faces looked very delicate, no one had the chance to approach them. It is said that one time, two recruits couldn't stand the loneliness for a long night and took the risk to go to the Frost Witch's house.
room, in the early morning, people saw two frozen corpses at the door of the witch's room... However, Boris didn't have much interest in other women. He was still thinking about Denise. It seemed that except for her,
No woman in the world is enough to arouse his interest.
