"Hurry up, Rolas! Do you want to be left behind?!"
I was startled. Maybe it's because I'm too tired, my legs feel like they're falling apart.
We can't use horses due to their noises and footprints, if discovered by the enemy, we will lose the whole forest, and also the only shortcut to the Sanctuary.
I don't know how the people who defend the citadel are now, I hope my friends can still keep their lives.
We have to hurry, those people are on the verge of death!
Passing through the forest, in the distance the Sanctuary appeared brilliantly in the night sky.
It's almost there, and it seems that the rebellious demons haven't arrived yet.
The messenger has now also entered the city. We just need to join forces with the soldiers to stop the bad guys.
The leader of the 4th course is Fray, a young man full of energy.
When he first enrolled in training, he was a completely different person. Fray was afraid of everything, huddled in that fateful room, not daring to face the fact that he had to go to the army.
I wasn't much better either, but thanks to the vice-commander's harsh words, a part in each of us has changed.
It's not for nothing that all the newbies call him "crazy old man", but it's because of those cynical words that forge a true soldier.
Even I don't like Ray, but unsightly he didn't say anything wrong. The nature of man, war...
We are just devoting our gratuitous lives to a greater good, of which we cannot know.
Fray led the supply team to set up tents near the forest, so that when the signal came, they could quickly respond.
We built wooden spikes stacked on top of each other, behind were portable cannons with bows and arrows, wood to ignite the wood chips spread out in front of the poles.
About 20 minutes later, we received the first supply and just as the rebels arrived.
Fortunately, the army, after receiving the news, had evacuated the people to the refuge areas, so now it only needs to focus all its forces on repelling and attacking the enemy.
Everyone's face showed concern, sweat was all over their body, but the belief that they could survive never stopped burning.
The leader of the 5th course, if I'm not mistaken, is Leyna, also raised her bow.
She looked me straight in the eye and then headed forward, seeming to remind me to focus on the upcoming battle.
Strangely, the people who were once without any energy left were now full of determination to fight for their life.
I touched the arrows with my hand, how easily this sharp thing would take a human's life, and then I suddenly realized, this is still war.
Even with careful preparation, loss is still inevitable.
Our comrades began to fall, the cheers continued to echo, they burned the wood to stop the enemy. Arrows rushed forward along with several exploding cannons.
I pulled the bowstring and shot at the enemy, those monsters, that in my opinion deserved to die.
Blood, the smell of flesh, gunpowder, it all seemed to be mixed together.
There're people standing beside me, still fighting, and there're injured ones, probably dead ones… But nobody has a thought of giving up.
The supply troops carried portable cannons, food, bows and swords, spears and iron spikes.
Eventually we split into two groups, and the other group would follow the army soldiers back to the Éclairer citadel for support.
