Jenna rode her horse through several villages and cities, heading towards Fengyan City in the west.
Along the way, she saw many burned villages and looted and occupied cities.
What a terrible country.
She didn't know when this feeling had emerged in her heart. What she saw and heard along the way made her pessimistic and disappointed about the future of this country.
She once thought that as long as she developed the planting industry, built more estates, and made everyone's life more prosperous, everything would be fine.
However, the ugliness of human nature erupted in war. After losing the old order, everything became barbaric and brutal. Both sides killed each other, burned down cities and villages that supported the other side, and captured the defeated enemy as slaves. The fate of women was even worse.
She didn't know where to vent the sadness and anger in her heart.
The leaders who started the war? The soldiers who assisted the tyrants in their cruelty and greed? The people who were filled with suspicion and disbelief?
When she was a child, her father taught her swordsmanship and combat knowledge, but rarely taught her how to face this not-so-beautiful world.
She wanted to shout, to vent the pent-up emotions in her heart, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only whip the horse whip absentmindedly and continue on the road.
Another night came, and she entered a city to rest.
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 climbed out of bed, quietly opened the window a crack, and peeked at the scene on the street below.
A dozen people holding torches were walking on the street. They were holding weapons in their hands, including spears, swords, axes, shields, and bows and arrows, and they were also wearing leather armor of different styles.
These people chopped down the scattered guards in the city at night, and then shouted loudly around.
"Brothers in Red Oak City, I am Nad, the nephew of the former city lord." As he shouted, many people recognized this strong man.
"Now that the 'Long Halberd Faction' has captured this city, they've been looting and raping women. Such a faction is not worth following."
"Why should we tolerate them running amok in our city? This is our city, where we live and grow up."
"Drive them out and show them who the real master here is!"
As he finished speaking, the group of people around him shouted collectively, "Drink!"
For a moment, it was quite powerful and made people's hearts surge.
Originally, most of the people in Red Oak City were from the 'Bow Hunting Faction', but they were occupied when the coalition forces of the 'Long Spear Faction' captured the city some time ago. Later, because the coalition forces wanted to continue their offensive, most of the troops were taken away, leaving only a part of the defenders.
This part of the defenders took advantage of this rare opportunity and, under the pretext of cracking down on the "Bow Hunting Faction", they searched and plundered the city's property on a large scale. This also caused a lot of dissatisfaction, which completely erupted today.
After the group's shouts echoed in the street below, some locals, encouraged by their presence, also joined in, and the group seemed to be gradually growing. On the other side of the street, the Longji faction troops who had been left behind finally arrived.
Perhaps the recent robbery was too smooth, which made them careless. After some scattered team members were beaten and killed, they slowly reacted.
At this time, the guards were roughly arranged on the street with shields and spears, and were charging towards the opposite side quickly. There were not many archers among them, and most of them used spears and halberds as weapons.
The battle in the city soon began.
The leather-armored team that had been so majestic and shouting loudly just now soon suffered heavy losses. They were few in number and gathered in a scattered manner. During the battle, they were quickly driven away by the defenders holding spears and shields, and most of the arrows they shot were blocked by the shields.
Just as this group of people were about to throw away their weapons and end in failure, a man holding a long and narrow scimitar suddenly appeared behind the defending team.
He jumped down from the house next to him, and the scimitar in his hand cut like a saw, taking away several lives. Then, when the other party turned around, he jumped up again and hid behind the shadow of a house somewhere.
After several rounds of this, the pursuit was unsuccessful, and the morale of the defending troops began to collapse. The advance slowed significantly, and they turned back with constant suspicion. Meanwhile, the enemy on the opposite side gradually regrouped, and the sound of bows and arrows became increasingly frequent.
Finally, attacked from both sides, the morale of the defenders finally collapsed and they fled in all directions, only to be killed one by one by the mysterious scimitar master.
His strength should be around Sequence 4, but he is extremely agile and has a strong jumping ability. This should be a related specialized ability that comes with the extraordinary job classification.
Watching this scene secretly, Jenna made some guesses in her heart.
Before Sequence 5, most classes had no means of flight, but certain specialized classes would rely on this displacement to gain an excellent advantage in combat.
If it was in an open area, it wouldn't be so easy for the scimitarist to succeed. She thought so in her heart. Although Jenna was young, she had seen all kinds of geniuses in the school and her horizons had become higher. She was not surprised.
Any third-year Emenas student could do it easily, and most could do better.
After the victory in the battle in the city, the local team cheered, and then the houses along the street gradually opened their doors, and some people came out to celebrate the victory together.
Although it was night, the city was bustling again.
The scattered halberd defenders were captured by the angry citizens, who beat and insulted them as a vent for their anger. The leaders also joined in, beating and insulting the enemies together with the citizens, venting their anger.
