Chapter 75 Three deserters

Red Clay Town is not as bad as everyone imagines. Although it is very severely short of water, it is not short of supplies with the help of the Blazing Axe Fortress. Moreover, Red Clay is a very good adventure location, and there are many professionals and mercenaries who come here to adventure. Therefore, Red Clay Town really has no place to make itself rich, but it still has thousands of very good buildings here. It makes people feel relaxed and unnaturally think that there is a safe place to live in the harsh environment of Red Clay.

Even Wei Tian has to admire the fact that this good town can develop in such a harsh environment. Humans are really like cockroaches, and they can survive in any harsh environment.

In Robert's introduction, when Red Clay Town first began to develop, it was organized by some mercenaries and professionals. Because at that time the idea of ​​human beings was very simple, it was to build a place where others could live on this very adventurous land.

At first, it was just a small camp. As time went by, it gradually developed to this current scale. This very good town developed with difficulty but enthusiasm within a limited range.

You should know how difficult it is to build so many houses on soft land. Such a situation makes everyone look around and there is not even a two-story building in the entire village. For the sake of the sturdiness and safety of the house, most of them are buildings like landblocks. All the big and small are very distinctive.

There is not even a well in the town. If you want to drink water, you must go to Honghu Lake more than ten miles away. Moreover, the water taken out has accumulated a lot of sand, and the bitter water has to be filtered several times before you can drink it. However, the people here are still strong, because the environment makes the physical fitness of the people here much healthier than that of ordinary people. Just looking at Robert who is around twenty-one or two years old, he has a fourth-level fighting spirit, and you can know how strong the people here are.

The town was extremely lively, with many professions, mercenaries, and adventurers huddled in the folk kilns specially provided for the adventurers' doors, drinking strong wine, eating open barbecue, and bragging about the thrilling scenes they had experienced. This made these young knights show their urge to yearn and even want to join in the fun. Even Wei Tian wanted to take a break. But just as Wei Tian was about to go, the sound of a group of children suddenly appeared...

"Defend the deserter, fight the deserter!"

The child's playfulness was still so innocent, but Wei Tian frowned because of the child's words and looked over. Looking at the children, they surrounded the three old men and kept throwing mud and stones. Wei Tian frowned, suddenly stopped, and looked silently.

These three old men are very strong. Although they are all around fifty years old, time has not brought them any diseases or pain. The thick hair and beard of silver, as well as the gray beard, the light shining in their eyes is so strong. That is the look that only soldiers should have. Only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of war will have such eyes.

Why are the three such soldiers called deserters by the children? Moreover, when facing the innocent and flawless play of the children, standing there silently enduring, he didn't even mean to resist.

There was a hint of sadness and pain in the eyes. Whenever the children shouted a deserter, the muscles on their faces would twitch in pain. It seemed that the stones hitting their bodies and the mud thrown on their bodies could not be compared with the pain and helplessness they suffered in their hearts.

Faced with such humiliation, the old man still stood like steel that could not be broken. Every time the child threw stones and mud, the old man's left hand would move unconsciously. This simple action made Wei Tian frown and reveal deep doubts.

Although outsiders could not see anything, Wei Tian had already seen some tricks. It was the posture of erecting a shield. It was only after countless baptisms of blood and fire that the body had to get used to the conditioned reflex that could be unscathed under the rain of arrows after the war.

Moreover, the old people's actions seemed very simple, but Wei Tian knew that even he himself had this conditioned reflex. He had not experienced countless wars, had not experienced the test of life and death, and had not practiced hard every day, their defensive instinct buried deep in his bones could not appear at all. Maybe this was the praise given to the old man by the god of death?

Although the three old men are about fifty years old, with this skill alone, even the Blazing Axe Legion will have a status that only the generals can have.

The most important thing is that in Wei Tian's eyes, there is no soldier who is more like a soldier than these three old men. The old man's right hand has never been moved... If it was a sword...

Let me ask, would a soldier who is even more powerful than a soldier be a deserter? Frowning, Wei Tian began to think deeply.

"They are indeed deserters!" While Wei Tian was thinking, Robert sighed faintly. In the face of Wei Tian's inquiring gaze, he spoke: "They were once soldiers of the Ninth Legion and the Lieyang Legion!"

"Lieyang Legion?" Osis immediately thought in confusion and said, "I remember that the last time the orcs attacked the Chiake Fortress, the Lieyang Legion was destroyed to assist the Chiake Legion! Didn't it mean that all the Lieyang Legion had been killed in battle? Why did anyone survive?"

"This... is why they are called deserters!" Robert finished speaking and fell into deep silence.

After thinking about it, everyone suddenly realized that the Lieyang Legion on the entire battlefield had been destroyed, but they were still living here healthily. What else could it be besides being deserters? In a sigh, everyone's eyes as they looked at the old man were filled with contempt.

At this time, Wei Tian suddenly spoke and said lightly: "Osis, drive away those children!"

"ha?"

Osis, who was watching the village, was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wei Tian’s unquestionable tone, Osis could only walk towards the children in depression, and said while walking: "It’s so pitiful. I, Osis, are also a third-level knight. I asked me to bully a few children. This is a shame." As he said, Osis had already come to the child, clapped his hands vigorously, and said loudly: "I’ve been sent to the candy, I’ve been sent to you. Who can tell me that the sister in this village is the most beautiful? Brother, I’ll send Tangtang to you!"

The children immediately cheered happily, immediately dropped the "weapon" in their hands, and surrounded Ossi, shouting in a row. In the end, Ossi had to give one child a silver coin, so that these children could solve the candy problem by themselves.

After Ossis ‘saves’ the three old men, the old men didn’t say anything and chose to leave silently. At this moment, Wei Tian suddenly spoke, “Wait!!!”

But the old people's eyes only stayed on Wei Tian for a moment. After scanning all of them, they left without looking back.

"Unrespectful person!" Shirley, who was swept by the old man's eyes, saw the sharp arrogance in the eyes of the three old men, and immediately shouted angrily, about to chase after him, but was stopped by Wei Tian stretched out his arms.

"It's okay!" Wei Tian was so angry this time that he was so angry that he didn't get angry, but walked quickly towards the largest accommodation point with a silent look on his face. When he saw Wei Tian doing this, everyone said nothing, and followed silently...
