The northern city of the East Asian continent, Usomit City. It was a small city built in the mountains. It was quiet and peaceful, and it stood aloof from worldly affairs. However, at noon, the tranquility of the city was broken by a sudden commotion.
Landt was the most ordinary city guard in the city. In fact, the city did not really need any city guards. After all, it was not the frontline of a war. The closest city to them was the Elven Kingdom in the north. However, the Elves were allies of the humans, so the possibility of a war was very low. Although the situation was a little tense recently, Landt did not think that a war would really break out.
Landt's daily job was to maintain the order of the city. That was all. However, the city was unusually peaceful. After all, there were no nobles in a remote city like this. The only noble was the city lord, Viscount Banante. Viscount Banante was 77 years old this year. He was a noble who did not put on any airs. He basically mingled with the commoners. Since he had been the city lord for more than 40 years, and there was no possibility of promotion, Viscount Banante treated his people very well. Only the city lord made the atmosphere of the city very good. Although it was a small city, everyone liked it very much. Although the people living here were poor, they were very happy.
Landt also liked this city very much. He did his job every day, maintaining the peace of this small city. At least, that was what he thought.
"Landt, would you like some fresh turandot (a type of fruit)?"
"It's okay, Aunt Ruini, I'm still working."
"Landt, Scott seems to be causing trouble again."
"Okay, Uncle Banlu. I'll talk to that kid later."
Along the way, the surrounding commoners greeted Landt with a smile. They were all talking about ordinary things. This would not be seen in a big city, because there, the commoners would feel a sense of fear when they saw the city guards. Of course, this fear came from the difference in social class. They were commoners, and the city guards were the lackeys of the nobles. But here, this difference did not seem to exist.
Lu Lant smiled and greeted the civilians beside him as he continued his patrol. But at this moment, Lu Lant suddenly saw a figure rushing towards him. Usomit was a quiet city. The people who lived here were basically very idle, so this kind of situation was rare.
Randt narrowed his eyes and found that the guy running toward him was Scott. Scott was a young man in his twenties who lived nearby. He had nothing better to do than to eat and wear at his parents' expense. He didn't even go to work. To put it simply, he was a hooligan. Of course, Lu Lant didn't like this guy either. In his opinion, a man would have to bear the burden of the family after the age of 16. This guy was already in his twenties, but he was still living off his parents. Of course, he was unhappy. However, his parents really doted on him. Hence, Lu Landt had no choice but to find time to teach Scott a lesson and see if he could teach him well.
It just so happened that someone in front of him had said that Scott had been causing trouble again. Lu Lant had been looking for an opportunity to look for Scott, but now Scott had rushed over. Lu Lant nodded.
"Scott!" Randt shouted at Scott, who was rushing towards him.
However, as soon as he shouted, Randt felt that something was wrong. Scott, who was running over, had a look of panic on his face. It was as though he had seen something terrifying. He didn't even seem to hear her shouting. He just kept rushing in this direction.
"Scott!" Randt rushed up and stopped Scott. "What's the matter? What's wrong with you? "
"Brother Randt?" Scott seemed to have just realized who was stopping him. After a moment of confusion, he quickly said, "That … over there …"
Scott pointed to the direction he had come from. It seemed like he wanted to say that there was something over there. However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Scott! What's wrong with you? " Randt was terrified. Although he was a city guard, he had never seen blood before. What was with him spitting out such a large mouthful of blood?
"That … Many people died over there! All of them are dead! "Scott said with a trembling voice.
"Many people died?"
"Yes, all of them are dead," Scott said immediately. "Although I don't know what happened, run! Wah … "
As soon as he finished speaking, Randt spat out another mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong with you? Who beat you up like this? " Randt asked hurriedly. To be honest, Randt felt a little strange. Scott didn't look like he was beaten up. There weren't any injuries on his body.
"I don't know …" Scott was a little panicked. He suspected that he had contracted a virus and was about to die. However, no matter what, he couldn't stay here any longer. "Quick … Run!"
"You rest here. I'll go take a look." Randt suddenly thought for a moment and said. Yes, he was a city guard after all. Although he didn't know what happened in front of him and didn't know if what Scott said was true, he still had to go and see what was going on.
"Don't go. Run!" Scott shouted. He wanted to run, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't run anymore. He collapsed on the ground and shouted.
At this time, the surrounding civilians also came over. They also heard the situation, but they didn't know what happened. They looked at Randt in confusion.
"You guys take care of him. I'll go take a look." Randt thought for a moment and pointed at Scott.
The civilians nodded. They didn't know what happened, but they knew that it wasn't a small matter. Therefore, they listened to Randt.
Randt nodded and prepared to go forward to see what was going on. At this time, his hand holding the spear was very tight. He was a little scared, but he couldn't retreat at this time.
But just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly saw a flock of sparrow-like birds in the sky in front of him. For some reason, they suddenly dropped down like dumplings. Furthermore, they fluttered a few times on the ground before they stopped moving. It was obvious that they were dead.
Randt was stunned. Of course, the surrounding civilians also saw this. They were all stunned.
"Run! Run!" Randt didn't know what happened, but he knew that something was wrong. He immediately turned around and shouted at the civilians. Hearing Lu Lant's shout, all the commoners turned around and ran. Lu Lant also quickly pulled Scott up from the ground and ran towards the back.
"Randt, what happened?" Someone asked as they ran.
"I don't know. It's probably poison gas or some magic," Randt said.
"Is our city under attack?" someone immediately asked.
"Probably …" Randt said.
"Then Lord Banante …"
Randt's heart skipped a beat. Yes, he was very familiar with the place they just passed. It was the city center. All the important buildings such as the town center and the teleportation circle were there. Of course, Viscount Banante was there too. Randt was also a little worried about Viscount Banante. But for now, he still had to bring the civilians out first.
"Randt, where are we going?" another person asked.
"Anyway, let's escape first." Randt thought for a moment and said, "It seems that our city is under attack. Although I don't know what the enemy is using, it's definitely something we can't deal with. Based on the current situation, we should quickly leave this place and go to Delamere City in the north. "
"Okay, okay." Of course, the civilians didn't know what to do, so they listened to Randt. Randt was the only one who had more authority here.
They ran all the way. Of course, the people on the road also noticed them. Of course, they were curious about what was going on, and they didn't know if they should follow them or not. But just as they were about to ask what was going on, someone in the crowd shouted, "Run! Someone is attacking us from behind!"
"What? We're being attacked?"
"Quick, the child's father, run!"
Although they didn't see anyone, they were all very nervous when they heard that they were being attacked. So, they quickly started running.
"Randt, will the enemy ambush us at the city gate?" someone suddenly said as they ran.
"Huh?" Randt was surprised. That's right. The biggest feature of Usomit City was that it only had one gate. There was only one way in and out of the city. So, if they were attacking, they would also be guarding the gate.
Randt nodded and said, "You guys wait here. I'll go take a look at the gate."
Of course, no one had any objections. So, Randt carefully ran to the gate and looked at the situation there. He happened to see two of his colleagues, two city guards in charge of guarding the gate.
"Mead, Steele?" Randt walked over, surprised.
"Randt? What's wrong? Why are you patrolling here? "One of the guards, Mead, asked. This wasn't Randt's patrol area.
"You guys … Uh … Did anything happen?" Randt was a little confused. Usomit City only had one gate. If someone was attacking, they would definitely come from this city. How could they be fine?
"Nothing happened," Mead said. "But the city suddenly became a lot quieter. What's going on today?"
"Yeah, Randt, you know …" Steele was about to say something, but he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Steele! Huh? Uh … "Mead was about to say something, but he suddenly fell to the ground.
"Mead? Steele! " Randt was stunned. Before he could react, his vision suddenly went black. His body tilted and fell to the ground.
