Chapter 48: Changes in the City

Jenna rode through several villages and cities, heading towards the beacon city in the west.

Along the way, she saw many burned villages and looted cities.

What a horrible country.

She didn't know when she had such a feeling in her heart. What she saw and heard along the way made her feel pessimistic and disappointed in the future of this country.

She once thought that as long as the planting industry was well developed, more manors were built, and everyone could live richer, everything would be fine.

But the ugliness of human nature broke out in the war. After losing the previous order, everything became barbaric and brutal. The two sides killed each other, burned the cities and villages that supported each other, and captured the defeated enemies as slaves, and the fate of women was even worse.

She didn't know where the sadness and anger in her heart should be directed.

The leaders of both sides who started the war? Helping Zhou to abuse, despicable and greedy soldiers? Suspicious and unbelieving populace?

When she was a child, her father taught her about swordsmanship and fighting, but he seldom talked about how to face this not-so-good world.

She wanted to shout out to vent the backlog of emotions in her heart, but she didn't know what to shout. In the end, he could only beat the whip in a daze and continue on his way forward.

Another night, she entered a city and stopped.

As soon as I lay down in the hotel, I heard a commotion outside, followed by a group of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing.

She got up from the bed, quietly opened the crack in the window, and peered into the scene of the street below.

More than a dozen people with torches were walking down the street. They also held weapons in their hands, including spears, axes, shields, and bows and arrows. They were also wearing leather armor of different styles.

These people chopped down the scattered guards in the night city, and then shouted loudly around.

"Brothers in Red Oak City, I am Nader, the nephew of the former city owner." As he shouted, many people recognized this strong man.

"Now that the 'Changji faction' has captured the city, looted and raped women, such a faction is not worth following at all."

"Why put up with their mischief in the city? This is our city, where we live and grow."

"Expel them and tell them who is the real master here!"

As his voice fell, a group of people around him shouted collectively. "drink!"

For a time, there was a bit of power, which made people emotional.

In Red Oak City, most of the people originally belonged to the 'Bowhunting Sect', but some time ago, the coalition forces of the 'Long Halberd Sect' captured the city before they were occupied. Later, because the coalition forces were going to continue their offensive, most of them were taken with them. Go, leaving only part of the defenders.

And this part of the defenders took advantage of this rare opportunity to raid and loot the property in the city on the pretext of attacking the 'Bow Hunters' party, which also caused a lot of dissatisfaction, so much that it broke out today.

After the voices of this group of people sounded on the street below, some local people joined in under the instigation, and the team was about to grow bigger. On the other side of the street, the halberd troops who had been left behind finally arrived.

Perhaps the recent snatch was too smooth, which made them careless. After some scattered team members were killed, they slowly reacted.

At this time, this group of guards were roughly arranged on the street with shields and spears, and rushed towards the opposite side. There were not many bowmen among them, and most of them used spears and halberds as weapons.

The battle in the city soon began.

The leather-armored team that was still very powerful and shouted just now was hit hard. They were small in number and gathered in scattered groups. During the battle, they were quickly driven away by the defenders with spears and shields. Also blocked by shields.

Seeing that this group of people were about to throw away their helmets and armor, and ended in failure, a man with a long and narrow machete suddenly appeared behind the defending army.

He jumped down from the house next to him, the machete in his hand cut like a sawtooth, taking a few lives, and then when the other party turned around, he jumped up again and hid behind the shadow of a house somewhere.

After going back and forth several times, the pursuit was impossible, the morale of the defending team began to collapse, the speed of advancing forward was greatly slowed down, and it became a constant suspicion of turning back step by step. At this time, the enemies on the opposite side gradually regrouped, and the sound of bows and arrows gradually became denser.

In the end, under the front and back, the morale of the defenders finally collapsed, and they fled in all directions, and were harvested by this mysterious machete hand one by one.

His strength should be around Sequence 4, but his body is exceptionally agile and his jumping ability is extremely strong. It should be the special ability attached to the extraordinary job.

Watching this scene secretly, Jenna guessed in her heart.

Before Sequence 5, most occupations had no means of flying, and some specialized occupations would rely on this displacement to gain an excellent advantage in battle.

If it was in an open area, this machete hand would not be so easy to obtain. She commented in her heart that even though Jenna was young, she was not surprised that her vision became higher after seeing all kinds of geniuses in the school.

Any third-year Emenas student can do it easily, and most of them can do better.

After the victory in the battle in the city, the local team cheered, and then the houses by the street gradually opened their doors, and some people came out to celebrate the victory together.

Although it was night, the city was lively again.

Scattered halberd defenders were caught by angry citizens, beaten and abused as if they were venting. And the few leading people just now joined in, beating and scolding these enemies with the citizens.

Man, venting the anger in his heart.

Nader, the nephew of the former city lord, is now bare-armed, with a beer mug in his hand, standing on the high platform with torches, kicking over the defending soldiers who just fought with them. The captured soldiers were tied with ropes.

"Why, don't talk now, you were holding a gun at me just now."

"Look at this group of people, they are simply wild jackals, scum among scum, what kind of soldiers are guarding the country." Nader spat at the people on the ground, then drank a big mouthful of beer to vent. With the panic in the battle just now.

Under the high platform was a crowd of onlookers, and Jenna was also among them at this time.

"it is good!"

The surrounding crowd watched this scene and shouted excitedly.

"Hahaha." Nader laughed proudly, and some people in leather armor around also laughed.

Afterwards, they humiliated the soldiers of the halberd faction again, and pushed them to the front, and let the people in the audience beat them nearby to vent their dissatisfaction, and then they took the axe and beheaded one by one.

Looking at the shouting citizens beside her, Jena shook her head secretly, and then slowly backed out.

After the night passed, she was ready to set off again, leaving here for Fengyan City.

"an examination?"

In front of the city gate, Jenna looked at the guard in front of her with doubts.

"Yes, in order to prevent spies from appearing in the city, and the remnants of the halberd sect have to escape, they must be inspected when they leave the city." The soldier looked at the girl maliciously, looking at her delicate face and shapely figure.

"How to check?" Jenna suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked in a low voice.

"Go to the hut on the side first, we will check your package and what you have with you," the guard said.

Jenna frowned and slowly looked at the group of guards before speaking after a few seconds.

"I'm a student of Emenas, not from the halberd faction." Then she took out the badge and certificate she carried with her.

"Emenas?" Several guards were dubious, looking at the badge and hesitating.

At this moment, a somewhat fat guard came over, snatched the certificate from Jenna's hand, and grabbed her wrist.

"Stop bluffing, little girl, come here for an examination, we are here for your own good too."

Suddenly, the guard pulled Jenna and walked several steps before the latter reacted and broke free from his pull.

"I'm a student of Emenas, and I don't participate in the struggle of any national organization, so..."

"So what? I've seen a lot of people like you. Relying on my student status, I can do whatever I want."

"Hurry up, come in for me, didn't your mother teach you to be obedient?"

There was an indescribable discomfort in Jenna's heart, and the scabbard in her hand was being gripped tighter and tighter.
