Chapter 1288 1290 SilentA pair of frightened eyes, through the gap in the floor, looked at a body above his head The strong demon soldier is looking for something in the cabinet.
Soon, the demon soldier dropped a few rags and left the dilapidated room with his long sword in hand.
At this time, the shriveled hand covering his mouth under those frightened eyes finally moved away.
"Don't bark! No matter how scared you are, don't bark! child!" mother looked at the little girl whose face was covered in stains, lowered her voice, and said warned repeatedly.
If it wasn't for the faint voice, perhaps the little girl would have to identify what she was saying to herself by recognizing her mother's mouth shape.
little girl nodded hard, because she saw with her own eyes that a few rare beasts with three heads tore a soldier in armor to shreds.
She and her mother hid in the cellar. On the other side of the wall, there were several civilians who also hid in the cellar.
Two soldiers also hid in, the two long swords in their hands were the few weapons in this cellar.
Several men also hid in, but they all had empty hands, and because of the emergency, they didn't bring anything in.
This cellar was originally used to secretly store food, and several poor people nearby secretly dug it out and used it together.
So in addition to the seven or eight people hiding in here, there are only a few rations in some sackcloth pockets.
Obviously, there is no way to make a fire to cook, and there is no way for these rations to become real food.
Now, everyone hiding in this hidden cellar can only pray, praying that the foreign army like the devil can leave here as soon as possible.
Once these people flock to the castle where the emperor is located, or retreat to camp outside the city, they will have the opportunity to come out of the cellar, find some supplies to make some preparations, and then return to the cellar for refuge.
Only in this way can they persist in this place for a longer time until those rare beasts leave completely, and they can rebuild their homeland.
"Are they gone?" A soldier was nervous, moving his body cautiously, for fear of making a sound. He moved to the small gap used to observe the outside, and asked in a low voice.
The shriveled woman pressed a finger to her mouth, motioned for the other party to shut up, and then slightly shook the head.
She didn't dare to take the risk, because just now she could clearly hear that someone was caught in the distance, and the screams were getting farther and farther, apparently being dragged away by someone roughly.
If they still want to save their lives, they must be more cautious and more careful.
The soldier with the long sword in his hand slidly resigned, he had also killed a demon dog in the alley fight before, but in order to kill this monster, more than a dozen soldiers in their squad, including their Captain , all died.
He and his companions broke into the house, and the civilians in the cellar opened the secret door and let them in before they escaped.
After that, they could only hear some movements outside. For them, these movements made them have one's hair stand on end, and they didn't even have the courage to go out and take a look.
"I don't know if the castle is safe or not... If it withstands the attack there, we may have hope of surviving until we escape at night..." A civilian man is still very assertive , He was far away from the gap, and he spoke in a low voice, which should not be heard outside.
even more how, with the passage of time, the demon warrior who just entered the house to search should have gone far, so they are whispering now, It shouldn't be found.
<>The other soldier nodded slightlyp, agreeing with his words: "Yes, but the outer city wall is falling too fast, I don't know if the castle... can support it."Hearing their talk, the two women in the cellar hugged their children tightly, with anxiety and anxiety written all over their faces.
The fall of a city, for men, may only have two endings: death or immortality. But for women, there are too many terrifying things.
It's not like they haven't heard of it, whether it's the Wind Empire, the River Empire, or the Rock Empire. After their army has broken through the city, they will always loot and loot, such as rape and pillage. Will definitely do it.
Of course, the Empire of Flames is not much better, and their army will unceremoniously vent their savage side on the defeated enemy.
Anyway, war is a revelry for the victorious side, and the loser endures everything. This is the eternal truth and the sorrow of women.
In the dark cellar, there is actually not much light. The only light is coming in from the gaps in some wood, which can make people barely see where everyone is.
There is an oil lamp in the corner, but who would dare to light it at this time? If someone finds out, it's not a simple problem without light.
"Squeak..." There was a sound from above, and everyone in the cellar shrank their necks subconsciously. Something came to the top of their heads, which made them immediately shut their mouths, and even their breathing was deliberately lowered.
They let out their breath slowly, for fear of disturbing the things above their heads. They could hear heavy footsteps and the twisting of the floor.
Even, they could clearly hear the blunt sound of sharp claws scratching the wooden floor, and the sound was so unpleasant that the hairs on the arms stood up.
The little girl's mother once again covered her girl's mouth with her shriveled palm. She was afraid that her child could not bear the fear and made even a little noise, ruining them all.
So she covered her daughter's mouth very hard, her eyes slowly raised, looking towards the gap above her head.
She could see a huge body, covering the gap from time to time, and leaving quickly, as if walking around the room, looking for every corner.
Everyone waited motionless, waiting for the voice to go away. But the voice did not leave, instead it became more and more restless.
Suddenly, the woman covering her daughter's mouth felt the strength of her daughter's face increase sharply, she seemed to break free from the palm covering her mouth, and seemed to scream violently.
The woman looked up again, and through the narrow gap, she and her daughter saw a red eye, lying on the other side of the gap, staring at them both.
