In the fortress, in the dim light, two large tables were placed in the open space, about a dozen people gathered around the table, and the simple gambling equipment such as dice on the table was also the greatest pleasure of this group of people at the moment, and there were a lot of black copper plates and some broken silver in front of each person.

"Hey! Lao Litou, Lao Zhang! What are you two doing? A black-faced man who seemed to be sitting in the village didn't know how long he hadn't taken care of the beard on his face, and he looked like a wild man, smiling at the gap in the open wooden door on the side of the fortress, ignoring the yellow teeth and the breath that could smoke people, and scolded angrily and dissatisfiedly: "Damn it! What virtue?! Win some money and grind and chirp! It's fucking annoying! Still not playing?! ”

"Big old black! Open your head! Hurry, come. Yes, there are people. A response came from outside the door, but the tone was full of horror, so that the two captains of these people couldn't help but be stunned, and then the bearded man who was called the big old black grinned, and raised the gambling equipment angrily, and saw that it was eight o'clock, big and small, and he was even more angry in his heart, and couldn't help but get up and kick the wooden bench he had just stepped on, and scolded in his mouth: "What the hell do you see?!" Such good luck was wasted! Isn't it just a person? What's the big deal. ”

After that, Da Lao Hei was also stunned, how could there be people here? Or is there someone who actually makes the treacherous and cunning Lao Li Tou and Lao Zhang so afraid? !

Thinking of this, Da Lao Hei subconsciously turned around and glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone seemed to realize something, especially the team leader who also got up opened his head, and his hand had already grabbed the horizontal knife on the table.

"Enemy?!" The squad leader Da Lao Hei and Zhang Tou exclaimed almost at the same time, especially Da Lao Hei, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly returned to his position just now, and pulled out a big ring knife from the side of the table, but in an instant, he returned to his usual appearance of being not afraid of the sky, and grinned and scolded: "Who the hell did you come from?" Brothers, go and cut him down with Lao Tzu! ”

In the memory of Da Lao Hei, more than a year or almost two years ago, there were still some people here occasionally, but since about two years ago, after burning the plank road with **, most of the displaced people encountered were fleeing from the Meridian Valley, and they were nothing more than hungry and wanted to grab some food, and there were many who had died under Da Lao Hei, and there were old, weak, women and children. Da Lao Hei, who has long been accustomed to abusing and killing refugees, doesn't care about adding a few more souls under his knife, not to mention that the 'refugees' outside the door have ruined his own lore, which makes Da Lao Hei have the urge to catch someone who destroys his good deeds and throw his body into pieces and throw it into the wilderness.

However, the cruelty of reality is always unimaginable, and before the big old black carrying the big ring knife walked to the door, a piercing sound sounded in his ears, which was extremely sharp.

"Whoosh!!"

"There's a crossbow bolt!!"

The eldest Hei Dengshi's legs fell limply and sat on the ground, and even Zhang Tou, who had just stepped forward with a horizontal knife and wanted to kill a few refugees to have fun, also squatted on the ground, and then the embarrassed two people realized that they were in the fortress, except for the thick wooden door in front of them, all that was left was a few windows left for the purpose of firing arrows and lighting, as long as they were in the middle, they didn't have to worry about being shot.

Da Lao Hei and they were all right in the fortress, even Lao Li Tou and Lao Zhang outside the wooden door were unscathed, and they stumbled into the fortress, and at the same time turned around and locked the wooden door tightly, and directly stuck three wooden bolts before they would stop.

But the stone tower on the fortress was not so lucky, the crossbow arrow just now was released by Yuan Biao, and the target was the short young man with great curiosity on the stone tower. Of course, there is indeed a reason for the saying that curiosity kills people, and this short young man was like this, he was killed by a crossbow arrow, right on the lower side of the neck, less than a hundred meters away, and the crossbow arrow pierced through the neck with great ease for the neck that was not wearing armor and was the weakest defense.

The other person on the stone tower, the so-called veteran, just thought that the crossbow arrow was aimed at him, and he fell to the ground in fright, and at the same time felt a warm current under his crotch. When he turned his head again, he had already seen the stunned junior with blood on his chest, and at this point, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to get up anymore, but shrunk his whole body behind the one-meter-high stone wall to hide his existence.

"Hurry up! Set up our bed crossbows too! After making sure that the wooden door was locked, Da Lao Hei's heart was also a little calmer, and at the same time, he also reacted that the people outside could not be homeless at all, otherwise he would not use such a sharp weapon as a bow and crossbow in his hands, as soon as he thought of this, Da Lao Hei looked at the big table full of gambling equipment and money in front of him and regretted it, although he had already shouted for his subordinates to prepare bed crossbows, but it was impossible.

The big table used to set up bed crossbows is now being used as a gambling table by them, even if they can be moved to their original positions in time, but Da Lao Hei doesn't think that these people in the fortress can manipulate those bed crossbows, not to mention that it takes more people to operate bed crossbows, and more importantly, no one among them can operate them at all.

"Bow and crossbow! Everyone take their bows and crossbows, go to their respective positions, aim at the enemy outside, and shoot! The other squad leader Zhang Tou was obviously calmer than the old man who was very rough in appearance, both on the surface and in his heart, and after thinking quickly, he waved at everyone and gave an order, and then, his brows furrowed, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Why haven't the two fools above sounded the alarm yet?!" Didn't even blow the trumpet? ”

If there is no curse, everyone may still be able to pick up the bow and crossbow and go to the window for defense, you can listen to this scolding, everyone is shocked! Why are there no alarm bells or horns? There was only one reason for that, two people on the watchtower overhead had already been killed. At the same time, everyone also remembered the sound of breaking the air just now, and they were even more shocked in their hearts, how good skills do you need to be to kill the people on the watchtower without any reaction and action?

Run away! Almost at the same time, this thought floated in everyone's hearts, but the next second it was completely suppressed. Even his companions, who were only half exposed on the watchtower, were killed with a single blow, and if they ran out like this, wouldn't that intact living person become a living target for those sharpshooters outside? How can I have a chance to escape for my life again!

Suddenly, everyone had a desire to cry, especially when they thought that they were in the most fortified fortress on weekdays, looking at the few windows and the space for only twenty or thirty people to move, everyone only felt that they were in a big prison at this time, and it was the kind of death row that did not see the light of day.

In fact, this hollowed-out fortress is not small, two or three hundred square meters, but at this time, behind everyone is a pile of grain and grass and some treasures that they each think are, hoping that when they leave one day, they can take it out to exchange enough money for the rest of their lives. And the few open spaces left were occupied by the two gambling tables they usually used to play, and they didn't feel crowded on weekdays, but once they faced death at this time, everyone felt that this tight fortress was too small, and people felt extremely depressed.
