    "That's Raymond's subordinate, the guy named Sheerness." Goodwin said: "Didn't you leave your tribe because of him?" Even though Aishita had a calm personality, these words still caught her off guard.  .  Elves don't talk like this to each other. This is the first time Aishita has met such a direct person.  "Youwhy did you say that?" Aishita asked in surprise.  Goodwin touched his chin and said: "I heard from Harlot well, that guy under Raymond who looks very powerful, but is actually afraid of death. It is said that Sheernis begged you for a long time before you went to him.  "Leave Jed Forest." "But I'm very surprised. Since this is the case, you didn't talk much when you were together. When this kid left, you didn't seem to miss him. Are all you elves like this?  "Aishita doesn't know what Harlot said to Goodwin, but it is obvious that he sold Sirness and exaggerated and distorted many things.  However, Aishita, who had an indifferent personality, didn't know how to explain it to Goodwin, so she had to say: "No, the patriarch refused to leave the forest, so I decided to do my part to fight against the undead." "Strange, what I heard  It seems different." Goodwin snorted: "So, do you like him?" Just like his appearance, this bold old man doesn't know what euphemism is, and Aishita can't stand it no matter how calm he is.  However, she did not change the topic or ask Goodwin why he asked such a question. Instead, she thought about it seriously, and then said honestly: "I, I don't know either. He is a very special elf.  "It's different from anyone I've ever seen before." "That's because he grew up among humans," Goodwin said.  Naturally, Harold also told Goodwin a lot about Sirness's life experience.  "That's not the case." Aishita shook her head: "Sirnis has a spirit and will that we elves don't have. If we are the twilight, then he is the sunshine at noon. This attracts me very much.  " "I don't know what level of emotion you are talking about, but my leaving Jade Forest this time may also include his factors. " Aishita's answer seemed to say a lot, but it also seemed to mean nothing.  explain.  Naturally, Sheerness, who was far away in Grayling Town, didn't know that an old man with whom he had no close friendship was concerned about his emotional affairs.  "Still can't understand." Goodwin shook his head in confusion: "You elves never seem to be willing to explain one thing clearly." Then he said cautiously: "It must be strange for an old man like me to say these things, right?"  Aishita nodded seriously: "Yes. I don't understand why you are telling me this." This can be regarded as elf-like directness. In a sense, the old and the young really complement each other.  Uh Actually, if we look deeper, Aishita should be the older one.  Hearing Aishita's words, Goodwin smiled to himself. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed: "Oh, I am getting old." Although he is one of the top five in Veronica Continent,  , but Goodwin is an old man with white hair and beard after all.  After this injury.  The serious physical injuries also affected his spirit, causing Goodwin, who had always been generous and fierce, to experience emotional fluctuations.  In short, it means becoming soft-hearted.  Goodwin pursued swordsmanship all his life and was alone until he grew old.  He usually didn't take it seriously, but after this injury, Aishita took good care of him, which made Goodwin unknowingly.  He developed a father-like feeling towards her.  Plus, staying in Ferelden City with nothing to do and boredom.  Goodwin also became gossipy and began to care about the affairs between Aishita and Sirness.  ¡°Perhaps he didn¡¯t realize it himself, but he had already developed a tender affection for Aishita, and caring for Aishita was more like an elder taking care of the younger generation¡¯s emotional affairs.  Naturally, Aishita, who does not understand the ways of the world, will not notice the secret inside.  Therefore, the two of them had the conversation just now.  Facing Aishita¡¯s completely confused gaze.  Goodwin muttered: "No, when they come back, it seems I have to ask that boy from Hillness, you two can't continue to be so unclear." Just when Goodwin made a decision for himself without authorization  When the target was reached, suddenly.  A soldier rushed in: "Sir Goodwin, Miss Aishita, no, no, there are undead outside the city!" *********************  *************************************************** Ferelden City  Head, the defenders looked at the undead army outside the city, all with deep fear.  After Raymond took away the large army, apart from the wounded, there were only a few defenders in Ferelden.  ?Although Ferelden's city wall was tall, the few hundred people standing alone on the top of the wall gave off the feeling of being alone.  Not long after, Goodwin and Aishita, who received the report, hurried to the city wall.  When they saw the undead army outside the city, they were also surprised.  Compared to the past, there are not many undead outside the city, but what is shocking is that there are many high-level undead among them.  In addition to some skeleton archers and zombies, there are dozens of ghouls in the undead army, a row of corpse witches, and the most terrifying thing - three undead knights.  In terms of proportions, this is simply unprecedented.  For Ferelden City, which only has a few hundred defenders, such a force is enough to make them feel desperate.  The same was true for the defenders on the city wall. Each one of them looked pale and almost collapsed on the ground.  ¡°It¡¯s no wonder they were there. Apart from the shock brought by the opponent¡¯s powerful military force¡­the dozens of ghouls alone were enough to make ordinary soldiers collapse.  What's more important is that after Raymond took away the elite, those left behind to defend the city were some relatively poor soldiers, most of whom were former Ferelden militiamen who were unqualified in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting spirit.  After observing for a moment, Goodwin calmly asked: "When did they appear?" An officer bravely said: "Not long ago, the soldiers on guard suddenly discovered that the undead army had arrived outside the city." Now.  It was still afternoon, and they did not hide. They chose to attack at night when it was most advantageous for them. This showed that the opponent knew that Ferelden was empty of troops and could easily capture the city.  "I, what should we do?" At this time.  A soldier said with a dull expression while being frightened.  His emotions quickly infected other people, and almost all the soldiers were whispering anxiously privately. The morale at the top of the city was as low as the bottom.  "We better run away." An officer trembled.  His words were echoed by the vast majority of people: "Yes, we absolutely can't defend it, so we should escape quickly." "There are no people in the city anyway. We'll take the city back in the future." "Lord Raymond  They will definitely not blame us. " As soon as this was opened, everyone made excuses for abandoning the city.  As long as one person takes action, they will all follow and escape.  At this time, Goodwin snorted, immediately overpowering everyone else's voices.  Goodwin is one of the top five in Veronica, and his status is extremely respected.  Therefore, even though he was not from Headington, the soldiers who stayed behind unknowingly regarded him as their leader.  Hearing the dissatisfaction in Goodwin's voice, the soldiers all fell silent and looked at Goodwin with uneasy expressions.  He slowly looked at everyone.  Goodwin said in a deep voice: "In addition to us, there are many wounded and medical staff in Ferelden City now. Those people are all your companions who have fought with you." "Have you ever thought about Fereiden?  What will happen to them once the city is captured by the undead? " "But even if we stay, we still can't defend it," shouted a soldier.  "But at least you have fought. You have not abandoned your companions!" Goodwin shouted: "If you escape today, it will be like sending those wounded soldiers to the hands of the undead with your own hands. Even if you can survive for a while. When Lord Raymond comes back,  Can you escape the punishment of military law? Can you escape the condemnation of your conscience in the next life? " "Not only you, but your family will be shamed forever because of today's cowardice. Are you willing to do this?"  As soon as it came out, many people fell silent.  However, when they saw the terrifying undead army outside the city, the morale they had finally gathered collapsed again.  "But. There is no chance of winning in such a battle. Do we really want to wait here to die?" "It is said that if you die at the hands of the undead, your soul will be imprisoned by them forever, and your body will be turned into a zombie." "II think.  Let's run away. ""A bunch of cowards!" Goodwin angrily scolded: "You will inevitably die when you fight. If Ferelden is an empty city, just leave your injured comrades behind.  Running away for your own life is a despicable act that can never be washed away. " "Even if you die here today, at least you have done your duty. In the future, someone will remember your bravery instead of cowardice." said Goodwin.  The sword was inserted into the city wall with a clang: "Whoever wants to be a coward can run away, but I will fight here. At least before I fall, no one can hurt the wounded soldiers!" "I  I will fight with you," Aishita said calmly.    As the strongest swordsman, Goodwin is willing to protect those unknown injured soldiers.  And the beautiful Aishita, an elf privately regarded as a goddess by the soldiers, also showed fearless courage.  The bravery of the two finally moved everyone. Soldiers, look at me and I look at you. An officer gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword: "I will fight with you too!" "Me too!" "And me!"  At this time, the infected soldiers drew their weapons and issued declarations of death.  "Fight! Fight! Until the last moment!" ****************************************  *************************** Swish, swish, swish Bone arrows flew down from the sky, shooting towards the top of Ferelden City.  As always, the attack of the undead kicked off with the Skeleton Archer.  The defenders all raised their shields and squatted under the arrow stacks on the city wall. The bone arrows hit the city wall one after another, making a crackling sound.  There were not many skeleton archers in the enemy army, and the defenders had a defensive advantage, so this burst of arrows caused almost no damage.  The undead troops probably saw this, so the skeleton archers quickly stopped shooting.  Then there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and the huge ghoul moved out.  Dozens of huge ghouls were slowly walking toward Ferelden City. They were spliced ??together from corpse fragments, and their whole bodies exuded a stench.  Coupled with its huge size, it is enough to give people a huge shock.  "Don't be afraid, Ferelden's city wall is our greatest help." Goodwin cheered everyone loudly: "We can definitely hold it!" At this time, Aishita had shot two magic arrows in succession.  In the huge explosion, a big hole was blown out of the chest of one ghoul, and the right leg of another ghoul was blown off.  fell to the ground.  And the defenders¡¯ archers, who mustered up their courage, also shot at the approaching ghouls.  However, ordinary arrows have little effect on them. Even if they are covered with arrows, they cannot stop their progress.  Soon, the ghoul came to the city wall.  Since Ferelden is one of the largest cities in Lavit, with strong city defenses and extremely tall walls, the ghouls can only reach the top of the wall, which greatly limits their combat power.  Because the huge ghoul only exposed the wall above its shoulders.  The shock was much lessened. The soldiers mustered up their courage and charged towards them with swords.  The ghouls reluctantly stretched out their arms and swept back and forth on the city wall. From time to time, soldiers were swept off the wall by them.  But more people bravely rushed forward and hacked at their disgusting bodies.  The sound of killing on the city wall was loud, and both sides tried their best to fight tenaciously.  Goodwin was holding a heavy sword and guarding the center of the city wall.  Whenever the defense was weak, he would rush to help.  With his powerful swordsmanship far beyond anyone else.  It gave the ghoul a huge blow.  A ghoul swung its arm and hit Goodwin, but Goodwin lowered his head to avoid the attack.  He stood up after him, took advantage of the gap between the ghoul's attacks, and slashed at its shoulder with his sword.  As Goodwin took a deep breath, fighting energy poured into the heavy sword, and the sword immediately lit up with a dazzling green light.  With the scorching heat emitted from the sword.  His sword sliced ??through the ghoul's body without any hesitation, and removed its arm with a single stroke along the shoulder.  The ghoul roared and leaned back. Goodwin took the opportunity to jump on his chest and cut off the ghoul's head with a sword.  The headless ghoul fell backwards.  He knocked over another ghoul by the way.  Goodwin jumped onto the city wall. His brave move immediately attracted cheers from all around, and morale rose sharply.  However, Goodwin's expression when he killed the ghoul was not relaxed. He quickly turned his back and clutched his chest with a pale face.  There was a faint stain of blood oozing from his clothes.  Apparently the battle had reopened his wound.  When Goodwin was showing off his power, Ashita was not idle either.  The beautiful female elf stood on the roof of the tower, firing magic arrows one after another.  ??A bunch of arrows trailing red light were shot at the ghouls. Each explosion could open a big hole in their bodies. With the cooperation of the soldiers, several ghouls were completely knocked down.  Her presence inspired great morale among the defenders. Every time Aishita fired an arrow, there would be a burst of loud shouts. With this unyielding fighting spirit, hundreds of defenders were forced to attack dozens of ghouls.  Persevere under attack.  However, the attack of the undead army was far from reaching its maximum level.  Seeing that the ghoul could not attack for a long time, the corpse witch, who had been silent for a long time, began to take action.  I saw these skeletons in wizard robes holding up the staffs in their hands. As they moved, green energy beams flew out and flew towards the city. ?Corpse witches have no direct lethality, but the poisonous gas they spew is very troublesome.  Although there are not many corpse witches coming this time, they are more than enough to deal with hundreds of defenders. Once the poisonous gas covers the city wall, it will cause huge casualties.  The best way to deal with poisonous fog is to use wind magic to blow them away.  Aishita had the same plan. She put the elven long bow behind her back, and then recited the elven mantra attentively.  At this time, the poisonous gas hit the wall one after another, and then clouds of poisonous mist exploded. The dozens of soldiers who bore the brunt immediately fell poisoned, and the others quickly covered their noses and ran away.  The poisonous gas brought considerable chaos to the defenders, and many people had to flee to safety.  The ghouls took the opportunity to attack, and some even tried to climb up the walls.  Goodwin cut off half of a ghoul's head with a sword, and then several beams of poisonous gas were shot at him.  He snorted contemptuously, waved the sword in his hand, and unleashed his fighting spirit, causing the poisonous energy to dissipate without a trace.  However, although Dou Qi could protect him from harm, it could not protect other soldiers, and the city wall became increasingly chaotic.  Goodwin couldn't help but look up at Ashita.  Aishita seems to be preparing a very powerful magic. After all this time, she is still gathering magic power, and strong winds are lingering around her.  The enemy also discovered the female elf on the tower. The skeleton archers immediately shot all their bone arrows at her, and several corpse witches also aimed their poisonous gas at her.  However, due to the strong wind outside Aishita's body, the bone arrows lost their accuracy.  The poisonous mist was also helpless to her.  After a while, Aishita's eyes opened suddenly, and at the same time, the strong wind entangled outside her body suddenly became stronger, and a strong wind immediately blew from the city wall.  The wind was extremely strong, roaring across the entire city wall, sweeping away the poisonous mist that permeated everywhere.  Then, under the control of Aishita, the strong wind condensed into a tornado, sweeping towards the undead army like a poisonous snake.  A tornado is as powerful as lightning.  A strong wind roared through the air, and all the poisonous gas fired into the air by the corpse witches was blown away, and then the wind rushed straight down towards the group of corpse witches.  "I didn't expect that the enemy could fight back at such a distance. It was too late for the slow-moving Corpse Witch to disperse.  There was a loud noise, the condensed wind pillar hit the ground, and an unparalleled strong wind blew away.  Several corpse witches were directly swept into the air, and others were also blown far away in the strong wind. The corpse witches that posed the greatest threat to the city wall were immediately defeated.  It will be difficult to carry out attacks in the short term.  This scene immediately attracted thunderous cheers from the defenders, and all the soldiers were praising the battlefield goddess in their hearts.  Although the enemy force is huge.  However, since the beginning of the war, the defenders have the upper hand.  Although the corpse witch was successfully defeated, Aishita's condition was not good.  The continuous use of magic arrows consumed a lot of her magic power, and then she used such powerful wind magic, which made Aishita feel extremely tired.  When she picked up the longbow again.  The hand pulling the string began to tremble involuntarily.  Feeling dizzy in her head, Aishita knew that she had exhausted her mental energy excessively, and it would be difficult for her to use magic arrows in a short time.  Due to the huge difference in strength between the two sides, the Ferelden garrison relies entirely on excessive consumption to maintain its current advantage.  But the undead side still has some strength left.  They haven't even dispatched the most terrifying undead knight yet.  Goodwin is also very aware of his own predicament, but except for him and Aichta, everyone else in the defenders is a second-rate soldier, which puts the burden of defense entirely on the two of them.  Now Aishita is exhausted, and Goodwin He silently glanced at his chest, and the blood stains there were getting bigger and bigger. Every time he used fighting energy, the power of the dead would stir in his body, which made Gu  Devin also gradually began to feel powerless.  How long can it last?  Just when this question emerged in Goodwin's mind, an exclamation made his heart sink to the bottom again.  "Those ghouls are starting to attack the city gate!" ****************************************  **************************** Bang Bang Bang Heavy crashing sounds kept ringing from under the city wall, it was corpses  The ghosts are attacking the city gate with all their strength.  Due to the lack of defenders and the lack of various materials to defend the city, hundreds of people were unable to stop the ghouls and could only watch as they kept hitting the city gate.  With the continuous collision of the huge body of the ghoul, the unguarded city gate continued to dent and deform, and every loud noise was like a knock on everyone's heart.  During this period, Aishita tried to attack the ghoul that hit the city gate, but she was exhausted and only fired a magic arrow and almost collapsed to the ground.  This made Aishita no longer dare to attack reluctantly, and she quickly regained her composure.?Magic for the subsequent battle.  At this time, the defenders, who realized that there was no point in defending the city wall, came down below and formed a formation in front of the city gate under the leadership of Goodwin.  Once the city gate is breached, this is where the final battle will take place.  "Seeing the tall city gate gradually deforming during the impact, the ugly body of the ghoul can already be seen in the cracked gap, and the strong fear made the morale of the defenders extremely low.  "It's overit's over, we will really die here." A soldier murmured with trembling teeth.  His fear also infected other people, and many people began to tremble. They gasped for air, and their dry throats forced them to swallow continuously. Many people could hardly even hold their weapons.  Holding a heavy sword in hand, Goodwin turned around and looked at the terrified soldiers.  The city gate that was about to be breached shook behind him, making loud noises.  Goodwin turned a deaf ear to this, he just slowly swept his eyes over the soldiers.  Seeing how calm he was, the frightened soldier regained his senses a little.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
