Although the general had made preparations for something to happen to him when he left, he did not want to see such an ending at all.

Taking a deep breath, Adjutant Zhao asked: "Is there any movement from the Family Alliance?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "No, my subordinates kept the Lu family and Li family secretly watching. There was no movement at all."

There was no movement from either family, which made Adjutant Zhao even more worried.

This is most likely because both teams are in danger.

The beast tide has arrived ahead of schedule, and it will soon be the day that the general agreed upon. If the general has not come back by the appointed day, he will most likely have died deep in the forest...

Adjutant Zhao rubbed his forehead, nodded, and asked the soldiers to go out. He wanted to take this opportunity to rest for a while, as there would be more difficult "battles" to fight later.

The general is not here, so we have to rely on him. He cannot fall first.

Although the northwest side of the gathering place is quiet and there are almost no people on the streets outside, it is still stable. There is a temporary winter reserve. Orcs are hiding at home and do not go out. From time to time, there are patrolling city defense soldiers outside to remind everyone that the beast tide is coming.

be safe.

The overall situation is controllable.

But it's different in the southeast.

Since the beast tide came, some of the orc people who left the city were locked out of the city gates. The orc people have lost trust in the soldiers of the family alliance.

It didn't take long for riots to break out.

Even shops were smashed and many homes were robbed.

Suddenly, a tide of beasts attacked outside the city, and the people in the city were in turmoil, turning it into a mess in an instant.

Households with food locked their doors tightly and the whole family stayed in one room.

People who had no food were looting, burning and killing everywhere, but no one cared about them.

At this time, probably only the territory of the five surnamed families in the southeast of the gathering place has not been affected.

The well-informed orc people have now dragged their families to the northwest of the gathering place to seek refuge with relatives and friends living in the northwest.

Although the location where the Rong family lives is good, it is still some distance away from where the five surnamed families live.

Even if they were in contact with the Xiao family, the Rong family didn't know that the beast tide would come so quickly.

When the gathering place was attacked by a tide of beasts, someone took advantage of the chaos to rob the Rong family.

Fortunately, the Yuan family also lived in the yard and beat him away.

Otherwise, if we only rely on Rong Bingqian, his wife and Rong Yu, they may not be able to save the supplies they just exchanged for half the yard with the Yuan family.

Mrs. Rong had never been so aggrieved. She stayed in the yard and did not dare to go out. Listening to the commotion outside, she glanced at her son and husband from time to time, and then urged: "Whoever you are, go out and take a look, stay in the yard."

What do you know?"

Rong Yu shook his head, "I won't go, it's very chaotic outside."

After speaking, he looked at his father.

Rong Bingqian's eyes flashed, he didn't want to go... He went out at this time and met that desperate person, wasn't he going to cause trouble for himself?

Rong Bingqian stood up, paused and said, "I'll go back and ask Village Chief Yuan."

There are many Yuan family members, so someone must go out to check on the situation.

Mrs. Rong immediately urged, "Then go and ask, they will definitely know."

The whole family of the Yuan family was sitting in the main room, and everyone looked bad. Village Chief Yuan was sitting at the top, with two of his grandchildren standing next to him.

Seeing Rong Bingqian walking in from the door, Village Chief Yuan said calmly, "Master Rong is here, sit down quickly."

It was obviously his own home, and he was treated like a guest. Rong Bingqian was immediately unhappy, but with so many people in the Yuan family, he did not dare to confront him at this time, so he silently walked to the seat next to him and sat down.

After a while, the tribesmen sent out by Village Chief Yuan to find out the news came back and reported the situation outside to Village Chief Yuan.

When this member of the Yuan family said that the head of the Xiao family did not defend the city at all, but left at the most critical moment of the battle, the eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Rong Bingqian's face.

Suddenly Rong Bingqian's face was on fire as he was stared at.

The Xiao family is his in-law's family...and Mrs. Rong comes from the Xiao family's main house where the head of the Xiao family lives...

After reporting the news, the Yuan family member went down to rest.

Village Chief Yuan snorted coldly, "Master Rong, you really married a good wife."

Rong Bingqian never thought that the head of the Xiao family would do such a thing. He suddenly felt ashamed and panicked here. He also heard the news and immediately left the main room where the Yuan family was located.

Rong Bingqian walked back with a stern expression. When he entered the house where he lived, Rong Bingqian, who had never looked at his wife in the past, said to Mrs. Rong with a cold face: "Look at how good you are.

Big brother does everything!"

Mrs. Rong was born in the eldest family of the Xiao family. She was a concubine, and she and Mr. Xiao were half-brothers and sisters.

After hearing what her husband Rong Bingqian said about the eldest son of the Xiao family running away from the battlefield, she was not angry, but thought about it intently.

Her eldest brother has been smart since he was a child, and he can judge the situation well. Although his character is average, after his father passed away, he still handed over the position of head of the family to him. She heard her father say something before: Although your eldest brother cannot strengthen the Xiao family,

But it can definitely protect the Xiao family. As for whether the Xiao family can move forward, I'm afraid it depends on your children.

After a while, Mrs. Rong grabbed the hands of her son and husband, and immediately said: "Husband, son, pack your things quickly, we are going to Xiao's house now!"

What? Go to Xiao’s house?

Rong Bingqian said with a stern face, "Are you crazy? Go to Xiao's house at this time!"

If the head of the Xiao family leaves at a critical moment, I am afraid that not only the orc people in the gathering place, but also several other families will despise the Xiao family. If you go to the Xiao family at this time, isn't it like being a standout?

Mrs. Rong stamped her feet and whispered: "Bingqian, you don't know, my eldest brother might want to leave the gathering place at this time!"

Rong Bingqian was stunned by his wife's words.

Leaving the gathering place? What about the yard they finally got?

Seeing her husband's face full of hesitation and reluctance, Mrs. Rong said, "You just went to inquire about the news. What are the casualties of the family alliance soldiers?"

Rong Bingqian replied subconsciously, "About 50%."

"You also said that there will not only be one wave of beasts, but probably three or four waves. This is the first wave, and so many soldiers have died. What about the second and third waves? We really have to continue to stay here.

Are we going to let a tide of beasts rush in here and catch us in a trap?"

Rong Bingqian was persuaded by his wife. Indeed, the soldiers of the family alliance could block the second wave, but they could not block the third wave...

When the monsters rush in, what will they do?

Rong Bingqian frowned, "But it's impossible to get out at this time. There are monsters outside the gathering place. We have been surrounded by monsters for a long time!"

Mrs. Rong laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this. People like my eldest brother must have his own methods. Maybe he has already prepared a retreat for the Xiao family!"

It must be said that the dead father Xiao knew his eldest son very well.

Moreover, if they go to the Xiao family at this time and stay in the Xiao family, wouldn't it be worse than staying here?

The Xiao family is her natal family. No matter what happens, they will not give her a way to survive, but it is different here with the Yuan family.

The Yuan family is neither close nor acquainted with them, and there are many Yuan family members. If someone suddenly harbors evil intentions towards them, it would be difficult to prevent them under the same roof.

Rong Bingqian was quickly convinced by his wife.

I immediately decided to leave quietly tonight.
