The light and shadow moved westward, and the sun was getting dark. A few black crows flapped their wings and flew into the distance with their hoarse voices.

"More than a hundred humans?" Andrea's face changed.

Although this place belongs to the sphere of influence of Winter City, it has been since the gnoll launched a full-scale invasion.

Except for Winter City, all other villages and towns around were washed by gnolls, and no merchants dared to walk. So what kind of force would it be?

Is it a human player? Or a wandering bandit?

"Don't make a sound!"

Thorne turned around and whispered to Andrena, who was pondering.

When Andrea saw the slightly solemn expression on Thorne's pretty face, she was slightly stunned, then sat quietly on the stone bench, raised her eyelids and looked at the dim sky.

clang!

Suddenly, Thorne pulled out the short sword at his waist, turned around quickly, turned into a black shadow, and rushed into the shadow of the jungle not far away.

call!

The breeze blew by, and the withered leaves in the woods floated slightly uneasy.

Thorne clenched his left hand into a fist shape, and with the help of the impact, he swung his force towards the shadow.

bump!

The fist hit the body, making a dull sound, and then a figure appeared strangely in front of Thorne in a slight muffled groan.

Thorne sneered, slightly sideways to avoid the counterattack of the opponent's sharp blade, and moves behind him like a ghost. The cold sword blade in his right hand has taken the opportunity to mount the opponent's neck.

ah!

Accompanied by a painful cry, blood marks appeared on the other party's neck, and blood slowly oozed down.

Rust!

A slight footsteps appeared behind Thorne again.

Another person?

Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Thorne dragged his opponent who had been subdued and turned around suddenly.

ah!

The black shadow behind him saw the sharp blade in his hand about to stab his companion, exclaimed, forcibly stopping the attack, and the weapon in his hand fell off directly from his hand.

"If you want him to survive, don't move around!" Thorne glanced at the black shadow in front of him, and the short sword on the other party's neck deepened again, and the red blood kept dripping along the tip of the sword.

"Stop it quickly, don't be impulsive! We have no malice!"

When the black shadow saw the wound on his companion's neck, his face changed. He immediately threw the weapon in his other hand to the ground, raised his hands and said anxiously.

Thorne was unmoved, and the dagger had no intention of relaxing at all, and then said, "What organization are you? What is your purpose for coming here?"

"They are from Yuanshan Town, stop!" As soon as Thorne finished speaking, Andrea, who had already reacted not far away, saw the familiar face of the black shadow and said.

From Yuanshan Town?

Thorne looked at the other person carefully and found the modern style of wolf leather armor on the black shadow in front of him, the furry animal leather hood behind the collar, and the badges carved with mountain and sword patterns on his chest.

It's indeed a player from Yuanshan Town!

So Thorne put away his dagger and pushed the man in front of him to his companion, turned around and looked at Andrena who was rushing towards him.

He rubbed the blood on his hands on his clothes, leaned against a big tree beside him with a cold face, and quietly waited for their explanation.

The black shadow looked at Thorne vigilantly, immediately supported her companion, took out a bandage and ointment from her pocket, and carried out emergency hemostatic treatment.

"Evan, why are you two here?" Andrea walked to Thorne and stopped and said to Evan who was bandaging his companion to stop bleeding.

"Boss Andrea?" After seeing the person in front of him, Evan was obviously stunned. He was obviously very surprised by Andrea's arrival, and then said:

"We two followed His Excellency Gest to Winter City. Seeing that it was getting dark, we arrived in advance to explore the way and prepared to spend the night here."

Gest Andrea raised her eyebrows slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then let them come."

"Thank you very much!" Evan thanked Andrea, then glanced at Thorne, then immediately picked up the weapons on the ground and walked out of the jungle with his companions.

"They are wanderers in Yuanshan Town, and Gest is the second-in-command of Yuanshan Town, a level 5 druid who has seen it in Winter City."

Seeing the two men disappear, Andrea turned around and explained to Thorne.

"Gest? I've seen that pseudo-woman." Thorne's eyelids twitched and said lightly. After that, he walked towards Taran Village.

femboy?

Andrea heard Thorne's name for Gest, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then followed.

...

"Oh my God! We are so destined to see who this is, beautiful Miss Andrea, please give me a chance to kiss your toes."

A pure-blooded elf druid player walked to the door of Taran Village. When he saw Andrea, his eyes lit up, and he walked over gracefully, bent down and gave a gentleman's salute.

Andrea looked at the man with long silver hair and slender figure in front of her, with a very slender figure, frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

"So it's Gest, my little baby, come and hold one!"

At this time, Trollel, who had just arrived behind Andrea, exclaimed, walked out and stretched out his arms, and enthusiastically hugged Gest's delicate body, just like an old father holding a child.

Gest was unable to react and was directly hugged by Trundel, feeling the heavy smell emitted by the troll. His delicate face felt chills, and he could not break free from it no matter how hard he tried.

So a light flashed around him, and he used the druid's transformation ability to transform into a little crow. After staying away from Trundel, he turned into a human form again.

The players behind Gest saw this farce and their originally heavy and sad faces also showed some faint smiles.

After tidying up his messy silver hair, Gest said to the player behind him with an elegant and calm smile:

"Dear friends, go in and have some rest, and we will arrive in Winter City tomorrow."

Nearly a hundred players behind Gest relaxed their expressions when they heard this, and then walked towards Taran Village.

"Winter City is almost in ruins. What are you doing there?"

Andrea looked at the players in Yuanshan Town carrying all kinds of luggage, and it was obvious that she planned to live in Winter City for a long time, so she asked in confusion.

Gest shook his head, blinked his green eyes, and said with a mysterious smile: "Welcome a new life in the ruins, we call it breaking and then standing!"

"...Then I wish you good luck!" Andrea said lightly, turning around and walking into the village.

Gest stood beside him, nodding slightly to the players who were looking at him from time to time, and watching them slowly walking into the village, the sadness at the corners of their eyes flashed away.

"Is Lord Garod okay?" Suddenly a voice rang behind Gest. Gest's handsome face was startled and slowly turned around.

"So it's Brother Thorne!" Gest breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar face behind him and said with a smile.

"Have the attack of the werewolf affected by Yuanshan Town?" Thorne asked in a deep voice.

Thorne is quite familiar with the beautiful man in front of him. When he went to Yuanshan Town for help, it was the team led by Gest, but unfortunately he was in vain.

He and Gallard were the founders of the town of Far Mountain.

On the surface, the town of Far Mountain looks headed by the lord Garod, but in fact, most of the decisions are made by Gest.

A player who can establish his own power outside the sphere of influence of Winter City is all tough characters.

After all, there is no protection outside the sphere of influence of Winter City, and all kinds of intelligent races in the wilderness are staring at them at any time.

"Oh, this is a sad story." Gest no longer maintained an elegant smile and sighed softly, like a weak woman who can't help but take care of her.

"Speak with people!" Thorne frowned, unable to stand the other party's speaking style.

"After defeated the werewolves tribe that had originally besieged Winter City, it could no longer maintain its dominance in the Great Swordstrike Mountains and was expelled by various races dominated by hill giants. These werewolves who were driven down the mountain targeted the far mountain town."

Gest changed his frivolous and impetuous character before and said solemnly:

"If it weren't for the invasion of the Ogre tribe on the day of harvest, the strength of the Yuanshan Town would have been greatly damaged, and these werewolves would not have succeeded at all."

"So that means Yuanshan Town has fallen..." Thorne said slowly.

After thinking about it, he said, "Twilight Town and you are only half a day away at most. Didn't they support you?"

"Supported, and under their protection, more than 400 people survived Yuanshan Town. Except for these more than 100 people who volunteered to follow me to Winter City, the rest were taken to Twilight Town by Garod."

Gest looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, his voice sucking hard.

"This is indeed a sad story. If you want to cry, just cry. It's very uncomfortable to hold on forever." Thorne gently patted Gest's shoulder and disappeared into the shadow.

The afterglow of the sunset slowly fades, the colors of all things gradually fade, and all the scenery becomes hazy.

Thorne looked at Gest's back in the distance and recalled the miserable scene of the bloody corpses in Taran Village when they were placed in front of them.

And Gest, who had been to Taran Village with him at that time, comforted him with his words just now.
