? In the province of the Far Eastern Empire in the clouds, the first snow after winter fell, as if covering the earth with a layer of white tulle.
The autumn grain has already been harvested in the warehouse, and the soldiers and civilians stationed in the Yunzhong Province have also taken time off.
The people in the reclamation area were freed from the burden of exorbitant taxes. In this cold winter, some people wandered from house to house, and some went hunting in groups like mountains, and their lives were comfortable.
After the efforts of the Far Eastern Empire, the province in the cloud is now full of vitality. It is hard to imagine that more than a year ago, because of the war, the people here were devastated.
Those so-called heretics who were expelled from the Holy See also received a relatively proper resettlement in the cloud province, and they filled the post-war population vacancy in the cloud province.
Quite a few of these people were originally from the Far East, but since St. Lei City and other areas were annexed by the Holy See, they have also become targets of oppression.
In order to put pressure on the Far Eastern Empire and prevent the Shenglei City area from becoming the second Hanhai Qingzhou, the Holy See expelled these Far Easterners who had lived in the surrounding area of ??Shenglei City for generations.
The idea of ??the Holy See is very simple. Expeling these Far Easterners will not only ensure the elimination of unstable factors, but these refugees will also increase the burden on the Far Eastern Empire.
However, the Far Eastern Empire never refused these people, and after proper placement, they won the support of these people.
Now these people are well-fed and well-fed in the Far East Empire, and their lives are much more comfortable than those in the Holy See.
And quite young and strong, they also took the initiative to join the army of the Far East Empire and contribute their own strength to the empire.
Sun Sheng was one of these so-called heretics who had been expelled by the Holy See. He was forced to take his family and trek all the way to the territory of Yunzhong Province.
Their property and food were confiscated by the church guards of the Holy See, and they almost begged to the territory of Yunzhong Province.
But what they never expected was that they received a warm welcome in the territory of Yunzhong Province.
The government of Yunzhong Province provided them with food and provided them with work-for-work jobs.
After a year of hard work, Sun Sheng's family has now moved into a new home in the suburbs of the capital of Yunzhong Province.
And because Sun Sheng was tall and strong, and he also passed the recruit test of the Second Field Army of the Far East Empire half a year ago, he became a glorious imperial soldier.
?Because of his excellent performance in a battle against bandits, now Sun Sheng, a refugee who was displaced a year ago.
Now he has been promoted to a ten-man general, commanding nine brothers, guarding a fort near the northeast border.
Now Sun Sheng's monthly military salary is enough to support his family, and he can also eat meat during festivals, which makes Sun Sheng very satisfied with his current life.
A heavy snowfall caused the temperature to drop sharply. Sun Sheng and a group of brothers nestled in the warm fort, roasting a leg of lamb on the fire, not to mention how comfortable they were.
The task of their fortress is to guard the direction of the Holy See. In addition to standing guard on weekdays, they also reclaimed a piece of land and raised more than 20 sheep.
In order to reward the brothers who worked hard, the ten men ordered Sun Sheng to slaughter a sheep. In addition to the mutton stewed in the pot, they also took out a leg of mutton to roast.
Seeing the leg of lamb on the fire sizzling and gleaming with oil, the brothers around the fire were eager to try it with their knives.
"What's the hurry, it's not ripe yet."
Seeing a brother who couldn't help but take a small knife to cut the meat, the ten people who were turning over the roast leg of lamb couldn't help laughing and scolding Sun Sheng.
"Hey, boss, let me see if there is any salt."
The brother withdrew his hand with a smirk, but his eyes were still fixed on the fragrant leg of lamb, reluctant to move away.
"Eat it when it's fully cooked, or you'll be the one who suffers if your stomach breaks." Sun Sheng said with a smile.
? While Sun Sheng and the others were nestling in the fort and roasting leg of lamb, a brother on the guard tower outside the fort was wrapped in thick clothes and was rubbing his hands with the cold.
"Phew!"
"Phew!"
When the brother on guard frustrated his hands, suddenly two sharp arrows pierced through the darkness and went straight to the brother's face.
The brother who was on guard only saw two cold lights, and immediately an arrow shot into him.¡¯ neck, another arrow pierced his arm.
"Hehe"
The brother covered the arrow that pierced his neck, his eyes were wide open, and he tried to make a sound with his mouth, but his mouth was full of blood.
"Plop!"
The brother swayed and fell heavily from the high sentry tower, making a dull sound.
"what sound?"
Hearing the muffled noise outside, the ten people who were talking and laughing about the roast leg of lamb in the fort made Sun Sheng prick up his ears.
"There is no sound?"
The brothers who were talking and laughing also fell silent one after another, but there was no sound except for the howling wind outside.
"Third brother, go out and have a look."
Although Sun Sheng felt that he might have heard it wrong, he patted a brother sitting next to him just to be cautious.
Sun Sheng, the ten general, was the highest officer in the fortress, so although the brother was a little reluctant, he still grabbed his sword and stood up.
"I'll go out and have a look, you have to save some for me." The brother reminded, staring at the roast leg of lamb.
"Go, go, there must be you."
After the brother heard this, he pushed open the wooden door covered with a thick cloth to keep out the wind, and walked out of the warm room.
?Compared to the warm house, the cold wind was blowing outside, which made the brother shiver.
"who?"
The brother walked by the sheepfold and saw a few dark shadows lurking under the sentry tower, and he immediately became alert.
"Shhhhh!"
After seeing the soldier of the Far East Empire standing there, these black shadows raised their hand crossbows and pulled the trigger without saying a word.
"Puff!"
"ah!"
Facing the lightning-like crossbow arrows, the brother swung his knife to block, but another arrow pierced his thigh, and he screamed in pain.
These black shadows also rushed towards him with long knives. Enduring the severe pain from his thigh, the brother limped and ran towards the house.
"There are enemies, there are enemies!" The brother shouted loudly while running.
After Sun Sheng and the others inside the house heard the shouts from outside, they also rushed out with swords and crossbows.
They rushed out just in time to see the brother who was sent out to check the situation was knocked to the ground by one person.
"Kill!"
When those who broke into the fortress saw Sun Sheng and the others, they also roared angrily, and rushed up with their sabers in hand.
"Go light the beacon fire!"
Sun Sheng's face also became ugly. After pushing the brother next to him, he led the rest of the people to meet him.
The two sides quickly started fighting in the small courtyard in the fort. After hearing the shouts of killing in the fort, someone outside the fort quickly trotted into the fort for help.
The brother who went to light the beacon fire alarm hurriedly climbed up the beacon tower of the fortress. With the help of the light from the snow, he saw countless black shadows outside the fortress coming towards the fortress.
The brother quickly sent the torch into the beacon tower, and the dry firewood stored inside also burned quickly, and the crackling and burning fire formed a dazzling light cluster in the darkness.
