Chapter 218 Father, when I grow up, I want to fight for the lord!
"Father, what happened outside?"
"The war horn is sounding. Lord Karu specifically said during the previous exercise that this is the first level of combat readiness and the enemy will attack soon"
In a residential building, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old stood by the window, resting his hands on the window sill and looking anxiously into the distance, as if he wanted to find the answer.
The bearded father held the boy's shoulders from behind and spoke in a low voice.
"Nally, remember, no matter what happens, you must stay calm enough!"
"Only by controlling your inner emotions can you be your own master."
"Whether you are sad or worried, don't let your emotions interfere with your judgment."
Hearing this, the boy raised his head and looked at his father in confusion.
"But father, I, I can't do it"
"I don't want the enemy to invade the Twilight City."
As he spoke, he pointed longingly at the army below.
"I want to be like those armies, fighting for the lord and taking up arms to protect the territory."
The father looked at that childish face, and felt a different kind of emotion tumbling in his heart.
Protect the territory and fight for the lord
Before coming to Twilight City, he often heard soldiers from other lords saying this.
But in his heart there was only disdain and ridicule.
Is your territory worthy of us taking up arms to protect it?
Are those greedy and stupid lords worth fighting for?
But now, after he heard these words from his own son, a strong recognition arose in his heart.
From the first day he came to Twilight City, Lord Richard has never treated them badly and has always used his own strength to protect each of them.
Here he lived a life without oppression or slavery, and even learned to write his own name.
Gods above, the precious knowledge that only noble masters can learn outside can be learned by everyone in the Twilight City.
How great is this!
For the first time in decades, he felt alive.
He has long regarded this territory as his home in his heart.
He does not allow anyone to invade the Twilight City!
Even if it costs your life, you will never give in!
Taking a deep breath, he turned his opponent over and lowered his body slightly.
He looked directly into his son's eyes.
Seriously.
"Nally, the Twilight City is our home, and we will never allow others to invade it!"
"But you don't have enough strength to fight the enemy now."
"If you want to protect this city, then work hard to grow."
"Whether it is to learn the fighting skills of warriors or to learn knowledge, only those who are strong enough can contribute to the Twilight City."
"Maybe one day, you can also receive a medal symbolizing heroism from the lord."
"I think when the time comes, everyone will cheer for you."
Looking at the encouraging gaze, Nally's eyes lit up, like bright stars in the dark night.
But he was still a little unsure and said with a little hesitation.
"I, is it really okay?"
"Of course you can, as long as you do it unswervingly, it will work."
The boy clenched his fingers into fists, his eyes flashed with heat, and he nodded fiercely.
"Father, I will do it. I will definitely become your pride and receive the medal from the lord!"
After hearing this, his father touched his head happily.
At the same time, he looked out the window from his son's ear, and the desert outside the territory came into his eyes.
His son is so determined to protect the Twilight City.
Why isn't he like this?
If he were a warrior, he would stand on the territory's defense line without hesitation.
Fight for this city, for the lord.
This territory, with no oppression, no slavery, and no evil practices in other territories, has long since become his home.
There is no substitute.
——
"Mom, the lord will drive those bad guys away, right?"
"Of course, the lord is the most powerful hero in the world. Be good and sleep well. When you wake up, you will hear the news that the lord drove away the bad guys."
"Yeah, mom, I'm already asleep."
——
"Lord Guardsman, please remember my name - Ruijie. If necessary, please recruit me. I will join the battle immediately! I will defend the glory of the lord with my life! Believe me, I am ready to die. Prepare! ”
"I remember you, young man, but the lord has a destiny. No one is allowed to go out. The war is about to start. You stay at home."
Almost everyone in the residents' houses in Twilight City was discussing the reason for the horn sound.
Most of the residents are determined and mentally prepared to go to the battlefield, and many even take the initiative to volunteer.
There was no chaos in the territory due to the war.
The benefits of high public sentiment are most vividly reflected at this moment.
After commanding the army to deploy the alchemy artillery, Brown, a panting level 12 alchemist, was finally able to take some time to rest.
He touched the sweat on his forehead and prepared to go back to the house and change clothes.
Although the level is 12, the alchemist is not a warrior like a bull. In addition, due to his natural weakness, the physical fitness of this gray dwarf is not high.
Not long after Brown returned to the room, the gray dwarf apprentices in the same residential building poured in with uneasiness.
After saluting, he asked while looking anxiously at the still desert outside the window.
"Master Brown, what trouble have those humans encountered? If something goes wrong, please take us away. Gods above, we cannot be dragged down by those humans"
"Yes, Lord Brown, let's take advantage of the chaos and sneak away later."
"If we report the news on the surface to Furnace City, we will definitely be rewarded!"
"."
A group of gray dwarf apprentices seemed to want to vent their inner fear and uneasiness in words, and their voices never stopped.
But Brown, who was sitting on the stool, frowned and said nothing.
Just listen to these apprentices complain quietly.
After a long time, several gray dwarves discovered something was wrong with him, and quickly grabbed their companions to shut them up.
The room gradually became quiet, and finally looking at the expressionless Brown, everyone's heart suddenly shuddered.
Don't dare to say another word.
Brown waited until everyone calmed down, then rolled his eyes and looked around.
He said calmly.
"Say, why don't you say anything? I'm listening."
The cold voice sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Bang~
The intact palm slammed on the armrest of the stool.
The sound was like thunder, and the hearts of all the gray dwarf apprentices almost jumped out of their chests.
With a plop, the gray dwarves in front knelt directly on the ground.
Brown turned a blind eye.
There was an indescribable coldness in his tone.
"I will only say it once. Now, I am a member of the Twilight City and a subordinate of the master."
"You are also a part of the Twilight City, no one is an exception!"
"The underground world is a thing of the past, I don't want you to mention it again!"
After speaking, his eyes glanced around like a knife.
"Anyone who dares to disobey the master's order, without anyone else taking action, I will personally open your mouth and pour in the corpse water."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight out, but paused when he reached the door.
He turned to look at the several gray dwarf apprentices who were still kneeling on the ground and shivering, with a slightly subtle expression on their faces.
"Stand up from now on, don't kneel!"
After speaking, he left the room without pausing.
Bang~
The door slammed shut.
All the gray dwarf apprentices trembled and looked at each other.
It took a long time before he came back to his senses.
There are all question marks in my mind.
Why was Lord Brown who was extremely dissatisfied with this human territory yesterday, no, even this morning, and privately hinted that they were looking for an opportunity to escape?
Such a big change in attitudes in such a short period of time? ?
What happened? ?
Just when I wanted to discuss the reason.
Woohoo~
A sharp horn sounded, making their hearts jump.
Several gray dwarf apprentices immediately came to the window and looked into the distance.
The next second, the image reflected in their pupils made their scalps tingle.
Countless mixed arms surged in like waves.
It makes them feel heavy breathing even just looking at it.
Especially the red eyes of all the soldiers, it's like the god of death is staring at them.
The enemy is coming. (End of chapter)
