One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Silent

A pair of frightened eyes, through the gap in the floor, looked at a strong demon soldier overhead, who was rummaging for something in the cabinet.

Soon, the demon soldier dropped a few rags and skirts, and left the dilapidated room with a long sword in his hand.

At this moment, under those terrified eyes, the shriveled hand covering his mouth finally moved away.

"Don't yell! No matter how scared you are, don't yell! Child!" The mother looked at the little girl with stains on her face, lowered her voice, and warned.

If it wasn't for the faint voice, perhaps the little girl would have to identify what her mother was saying to herself by identifying her mother's mouth shape.

The little girl nodded vigorously, because she saw with her own eyes that several monsters with three heads tore a soldier in armor to pieces.

She and her mother hid in the cellar, and on the other side of the wall, there were several civilians who also hid in the cellar.

Two soldiers also hid in. The two long swords in their hands were one of the few weapons in this cellar.

A few men also hid in, but they all had empty hands, because the situation was urgent, they didn't bring anything in.

This cellar was originally used to secretly store food, and several poor people nearby secretly dug it out and used it together.

So apart from the seven or eight people who hid here, there are only a few rations in some coarse cloth pockets.

Obviously, there is no way to start a fire to cook, and there is no way for these rations to be real food.

Now, all the people hiding in this hidden cellar can only pray, and pray that the devil-like army from outside can leave here as soon as possible.

Once these people flocked to the castle where the emperor was, or retreated to station outside the city, they had the opportunity to come out of the cellar, find some supplies to make some preparations, and then return to the cellar to take refuge.

Only in this way can they persist in this place longer, until those monsters leave completely, and then they can rebuild their homeland.

"Are they leaving?" A soldier was nervous, moving his body carefully, for fear of making a sound. He moved to the side of the small gap used to observe the outside, and asked in a low voice.

The shriveled woman pressed a finger to her mouth, signaling the other to shut up, and then shook her head slightly.

She didn't dare to take risks, because just now she heard clearly that someone was caught out in the distance, and the screams became farther and farther away, apparently being roughly dragged away.

If they still want to save their own lives, they must be more cautious, more careful.

The soldier holding the long sword in his hand nodded slightly. He had killed a demon dog in the street fighting before, but in order to kill this monster, more than a dozen soldiers in their team, including their captain, all died in battle.

He and his companions broke into the house, and the civilians in the cellar opened the secret door and let them in so that they escaped unharmed.

After that, they could only hear some movements outside. For them, these movements made their hair stand on end, and they didn't even have the courage to go out and take a look.

"I don't know if the castle is safe or not... If the attack is withstood there, we may have hope of surviving when we escape at night..." A civilian man is still very assertive, he is far away from the gap, Speak in a low voice, you shouldn't be able to hear it outside.

What's more, with the passage of time, the demon warrior who entered the house to search just now should have gone far away, so they are talking in a low voice now, and no one should be able to find them.

The other soldier nodded slightly, agreeing with his words: "That's right, but the outer wall fell too fast, I don't know if the castle... can hold it."

Hearing their discussion, the two women in the cellar hugged their children tightly, their faces full of uneasiness and anxiety.

The fall of a city, for a man, may have only two endings: death or immortality. But for women, there are too many more terrifying things.

It's not that they haven't heard of it. Whether it is the Storm Empire, the River Empire or the Rock Empire, after their troops break through the city, they will always send troops to loot, and they will definitely do rape and looting.

Of course, the flame empire is not much better, and their army will unceremoniously vent their barbaric side on the defeated enemy.

Anyway, war is the carnival of the winning side, and the losing side endures everything. This is the eternal truth, and it is also the sorrow of women.

In the dark cellar, there is actually not much light. The only light comes in from the cracks in the wood, which can barely see where everyone is.

There is an oil lamp in the corner, but who dares to light it up at this time? In case someone finds out, it's not as simple as a lack of light.

"Squeak..." A voice sounded from above, and everyone in the cellar subconsciously shrank their necks. Something came over their heads again, which made them immediately shut their mouths tightly, and even the sound of breathing was deliberately lowered.

They breathed out slowly, for fear of disturbing the things above their heads. They could hear heavy footsteps and the twisting of the floorboards.

They could even clearly hear the blunt sound of sharp claws scratching across the wooden floor, which was so unpleasant that the hairs on their arms stood on end.

The little girl's mother once again covered her little girl's mouth with her shriveled palm. She was afraid that her children would not be able to bear the fear and make even the slightest sound, ruining them all.

So she covered her daughter's mouth very hard, and slowly raised her eyes to look at the gap above her head.

She could see a huge body, covering the gap from time to time, and leaving quickly, as if going around the entire room, looking for every corner.

Everyone waited motionless, waiting for the voice to go away. But the voice didn't leave, but became more restless.

Suddenly, the woman who was covering her daughter's mouth felt her daughter's facial strength increased dramatically, and she seemed to break free from the palm covering her mouth, as if she was about to yell violently.

The woman looked up again, and through the narrow gap, both she and her daughter saw a red eye lying on the other side of the gap, staring at the two of them.
