Magic Eye Warlock

Xiaguang City.

The tall east gate was locked, and a group of refugees with yellow skin and ragged clothes gathered outside the gate. There were thousands of them. They eagerly looked at the soldiers who were patrolling on the tall city wall, hoping to open the city gate and let them enter the city. go.

In the vast territory of the empire, except for the ten major cities, there is no place where these ordinary people can settle down.

Orcs will come at any time, the defense of small towns is too weak, and the garrison is unreliable. These refugees all escaped from Chuyang City and nearby towns. I have been to the ferocious and terrifying monsters, and it can be said to be a near-death experience along the way.

These days, some of them ate grass roots, some ate tree bark, and some ate mud. They survived tenaciously, but they also ran out of oil lamps and were about to die.

There were no professionals among these people, because the professionals were either sacrificed or captured in the battle with the orcs, or they fled to the main city first.

No matter where it is, the main city will not refuse the participation of professionals.

Kent is a 20-year-old blacksmith. He is a commoner in Haiyun Town, Chuyang City. He has been learning blacksmithing from his father since he was a child. However, the ordinary life did not take long. When the orcs invaded a few months ago, Haiyun Town was occupied. , his parents died tragically under the axe of the orcs in order to give him a chance to escape.

Later, Kent fled to Chuyang City, and a blacksmith took in him, who worked hard.

However, Chuyang City was not spared a few days ago. It was also captured by orcs and became the first main city of the Maca Empire to fall.

He fled with the blacksmith shop owner's daughter, passing by many small towns and gathering places of free people, but he didn't stop until he came to Xiaguang City.

Kent, who has experienced two orc invasions, knows that the defense capabilities of the main city and the town are completely different. Haiyun Town was invaded by orcs without any resistance at the beginning, and Chuyang City persisted for a long time, even if it was a city. When it was broken, the orcs didn't have time to capture all the humans in the city, and a large number of civilians took the opportunity to flee.

Therefore, only when he reaches the main city can he relax.

Kent sat cross-legged on the dirt floor, looking at the sleeping girl who was leaning against him, and thought to himself, "If only I were a professional, my parents wouldn't die because of me, and neither would Triss. starving."

On the city wall, several patrolling soldiers were chatting.

"Captain, there are so many refugees, why don't we let them in?" A young soldier looked at the refugees gathered outside the city wall, and said a little unbearably.

"Humph! Do you think I don't want to?" The captain of the aged soldier gave him a sidelong glance and said, "If the city was not attacked by orcs and suffered heavy casualties, the city lord would not have ordered the city to be closed."

"But, this has nothing to do with these refugees." The young soldier defended.

"It's hard to say! What if there are spies of orcs in there? Why can the orcs attack our main city at night? I suspect that there are spies. If something goes wrong, I can't take the responsibility!" The strong captain scolded, " Put away your ridiculous sympathy, this is a war, either you die or I die, there are hundreds of millions of civilians in the city, and we can't ignore their safety because of these refugees."

"Is the gap between us and the orcs so big? Why did they break through town after town, and we could only be beaten passively here." The young soldier said angrily, "I don't know what the upper echelons of the empire thought.

We need to fight back, drive these damn invaders out, and the blood debt must be paid in blood! "

"The individual strength of the orcs is much stronger than that of us humans. Professionals of the same level can fight three or five of them. Before, they could only hide in the northeast corner of the Western Continent because they were not united. Thousands of tribes They don't interfere with each other, and sometimes they fight each other for land and food."

The middle-aged captain's eyes were erratic, and he looked into the distance and said: "But now they are unified and formed an alliance, we are naturally not opponents, and we were caught off guard for a while.

Your kid has never fought with orcs. I think when I was a recruit, I was stationed in Chenxi Town and was harassed on a small scale by the orc tribe. A comrade-in-arms who joined the army in the same year was directly torn into several pieces by the orcs. Right next to him, he was so frightened that the orc bit his thigh on the spot.

Fortunately, an experienced veteran killed the opponent with a bow and arrow. The brutality and horror of the orcs are not understandable to ordinary people.

However, we humans are dozens of times more numerous than them, and under the leadership of the wise princess, I believe we will be able to defeat these barbaric orcs! "

"I heard that Her Royal Highness launched a coup d'etat and killed her eldest brother, the eldest prince, and said to the outside world that the eldest prince wanted to rebel, but was killed by the guardian of the imperial city." The young soldier whispered, "Furthermore, this time the orcs invaded, it seems that there is also an element of competition for the throne."

"Shut up! If you live enough, don't implicate me!" The strong-aged captain slapped the young soldier on the back of the head and said, "Can you and I discuss this kind of thing?"

"Hehe, I'm going to die anyway, whether it's in the hands of the orcs or my own." The young soldier said dissatisfiedly, "I'll be the first to rush to kill the orcs, and kill them!"

"As long as you can, don't you talk too much, and punish your kid for one more whistle at night!"

The sun is setting in the west, the sunset is picturesque, and the weather is cooling down.

Under the city wall, Kent was so hungry that his eyes were dimmed. He took out half a piece of dark brown bread from his arms.

He wasn't sure how long he would have to cook outside the city, so the only food left could be saved for one meal. Besides, he looked at the girl next to him, who was already thin and small, struggling After a few days, like a withered grass, it may wither at any time.

"Triss, Triss—" Kent called the other party's name softly. Seeing that she didn't respond, he gently pushed the other party, but he still didn't wake up.

He put his finger on the tip of Triss's nose with a little trembling. After feeling the faint breath, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the black bread in his arms and prepared to feed it to the other party.

Triss must be starving.

However, at this moment, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and Kent was also attracted by the sudden movement, stood up against the city wall, and looked into the distance.

What did he see?

On the horizon, in the darkness, countless orcs rushed from afar like locusts passing through.
