Difenni Village is located near the Kamode region of the Frost Mountains in the northeastern part of the Holy Noah Kingdom. Because it is close to the mountains, the area is mountainous and remote.

The land here is fertile, but because of the frequent cold weather, the growth of crops is slow, and the annual harvest is naturally smaller than in the warmer south.

Coupled with the proximity to hostile orc territory, the development of this area is not ideal.

Although the cities where troops are deployed are much denser than other areas, this is only used to prevent this area from being defeated by foreign enemies and putting the mainland under threat.

And as a result, the people living here will also pay more taxes to support these armies, which makes this already not rich land even poorer.

Kamode means "forget" in the local dialect. We don't know whether the people who named this area with "Kamode" had a sense of irony at the time.

However, this area is indeed often forgotten, especially after the completion of the three major fortresses built on the mountains at a huge cost to stop the orcs, this area has been forgotten.

Although it is close to the orc territory and even partially borders the powerful Sharjah Empire, the terrain of the Frosty Mountains provides the Noah border defenders with dangerous terrain, coupled with the construction of increasingly solid fortresses, making this place more accessible.

It is difficult to defend and attack.

The orcs seem to have given up on breaking through here. Despite constant friction, they can only harass villages and towns with relatively weak defenses, but cannot capture fortresses or cities with towering walls and large numbers of defenders.

Therefore, these innocuous actions of the orcs have not been taken seriously, and the impression that the three major fortresses of Kamode are indestructible under the multiple large-scale attacks of the orcs has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It would be better to say that it is precisely because everything has been peaceful that this place has been "forgotten". This is a good thing, but perhaps because it is too comfortable, many people have selectively forgotten one thing: the Kingdom after passing from the Kamode Mountains

The mainland will be completely flat and there will be no natural dangers to defend.

Now that I think about it, the real meaning of "Kamode" should be "Don't forget". This is Noah's natural barrier and a wall that must be defended.

"I believe this kid's words. There are no lies or wavering in his eyes."

Difenni Village, conference room.

The old mayor of Dundee stood up and walked to Jack, stretched out his right hand to wipe his tears. His right hand was a bit special. Half of the little finger of his right hand was missing, and the remaining half was wrapped in metal.

"I also don't think this kid would tell such a lie. The orcs are indeed coming, and they are the wolf-headed ones who are famous for their cunning and cruelty."

As the village chief spoke, he turned to look at the people in the conference room. His voice was heavy and vicissitudes of life.

"Those who are missing, we have lost them."

This announcement cast a shadow over everyone's heart, but some people didn't know what it meant.

There have been missing people in the village in the past few days, and some villagers have gone out to search for them, but they did not expect that the people they were looking for have also disappeared.

This matter was originally concealed by the village chief, fearing that there would be panic in the village. But now that the matter had come to this, the village chief could no longer hide it. He explained the cause and effect of the matter to everyone.

"Really? Jonny and Murave are really..."

Someone asked with a trembling voice.

"I'm afraid that's the case. Although I don't want to believe it, I'm afraid it is indeed the case."

The village chief frowned deeply. He sighed and said remorsefully: "I originally wanted to contact the guards in Dika Town and ask them to investigate the matter. That's why I banned others from entering the back mountain, but the details have not been shared with you.

Explanation. If I could have informed you of the danger in the back mountain earlier, maybe Blaney and Jack would be fine."

"Bryony is my nephew. My son is back alive. He didn't come back. I owe my brother and his family a life."

Jack's father, Jones, bowed deeply to everyone present. Then he walked to the front seat and brought Jack and his son down. Jones led them to find a path through the crowded crowd and headed out the door without looking back.

Go.

"Jones, what are you going to do?"

An old man yelled at him, obviously dissatisfied with Jones's behavior of leaving the field first.

"Guard team, I join the guard team."

Jones turned back to the old man, but only glanced at it. He said to the village chief and everyone: "Anyway, the whole village will be moved next, and I will join the garrison to guard the rear for the others."

He patted Jack's head, lowered his head and whispered something to his son. Although they couldn't see the expressions of the family, others also understood the meaning.

The garrison is actually a militia team. Usually only when emergencies occur, some villagers will be organized to participate.

Jones was right, indeed the village chief would organize them to join the garrison next.

Difenni Village is rarely infested by orcs, and even if it is, it's usually just a few orc bandits who come to steal some things.

But this time is unusual. What appears is a wolf-headed man. This is no ordinary orc. And it is obvious that these wolf-headed men have been lurking around here for a long time. It is estimated that they will attack the surrounding villages soon.

At this time, it is wise to organize the villagers to evacuate, and the existence of the garrison is to protect those women and children who cannot be used as combatants.

But as the last group of people to evacuate, they are naturally much more dangerous than others.

"Well, let me clarify it here."

The village chief saw that Jones had made it clear, and everyone who was familiar with the village's rules could also guess his next plan, "Calling everyone here, in addition to informing this matter, I hope that everyone here can do their best for the safety of the village.

Do your part.”

"Of course," he knocked on his crutch, "you can choose to refuse, but there are some people I hope it is best for him to join, such as: Calles, Nobang..."

The village chief began to call the names. Although the people called were slightly dissatisfied, none of them refused.

After all, the selected people are either retired veterans or hunters in the village. They are all people who can take up arms. There is nothing wrong with letting these capable people join the garrison.

"Belkas, White..."

"Forgive me for refusing."

Something happened when the village chief called Belkas, who had been silent, by name.

"My wife is still pregnant and I can't leave her."

Everyone else understood what Belkas said.

"Village Chief, Belkas is just a cook. Yuffie is still pregnant, so he shouldn't be allowed to go."

A man stood up. He was a neighbor of Belkas and knew the situation of the Belkas family very well.

"Yes, village chief. Their family's situation is quite troublesome, so just let us go."

…

Dundee ignored the objections of others, but walked directly to Belkas and whispered: "Belkas, I know you are also in trouble. But I also know some of your previous deeds, so I hope you can come.

help."

"..."

Belkas did not respond to him, but the village chief had no time to get a reply from him.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!…

At this time, a burst of urgent and restless bells suddenly appeared in the sky above Difenni Village. The bells echoed for a long time and everyone couldn't help but look towards the towering bell tower in the distance.

"What! How could it be so fast!" Dundee was shocked when he understood the meaning, and the crutch he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing the village chief's reaction, others naturally understood:

"They are coming..."

It's too late.

Difenni Village was completely in chaos at this time.

Just now, there were many people on the street who didn't know the inside story and were looking for information. After hearing someone shouting "The orcs are coming", they all ran home screaming and packed up their belongings as quickly as possible.

Everyone had left, but at this moment there was a girl still running on the street.

She stumbled while running, and her feet were caught by a basket left behind. She fell directly to the ground, covered in dust.

But she only hesitated for a moment, then endured the pain and got up again.

"Come on! Who can help us?! Please!"

The streets were deserted at this time. Even if Nia ran to the street and shouted for help, no one responded to her.

"Can no one come and help us? Mom, she..."

Nia had already burst into tears. She was running around in the familiar village, but this seemingly deserted village had become strange at this time.

She started to get scared.

"hateful!"

As soon as Nia wanted her teeth, she ran to the door of a house and hammered the door panel hard, making a "dong-dong" sound.

"Uncle Federer, open the door! I'm Nia!"

As a result, no one answered and the door was still locked. After seeking help to no avail, she immediately turned to another house and continued to knock on the door.

"Sister Thiss, are you there? I'm Nia."

"Gallino, are you there? I'm Nia."

…

In the end, she couldn't run or shout anymore, and the little hope left in her heart was about to dissipate.

She could only lean against the corner, hug her knees, and sob quietly.

Why? Why is everyone missing?

Where did they go? Why didn't they come help me?
