Chapter 100: Perpetual river bank

Several generations of the Hyde family have been living here. The defeat of the year caused all adult male casualties. However, they suffered heavy losses and did not get the rewards and help they deserved. When they were at their weakest, they were waiting for more cruel and plunder. The Hyde family, with only women and children, had to retreat and then retreat until there was no retreat.
They had nowhere to go but finally fled to the perpetual riverside where no one dared to approach. Everyone thought they were dead, and the family was also waiting for the final moment in despair. However, a miracle happened. The people from the North showed no respect for these women and children and let them fend for themselves. When they found out in a panic, the hungry child sneaked into the other side. The child received mercy from the Northlanders, and the Northlanders threw some food at their feet.
People from the North have never crossed the river, and the castle beside the Beigu Bridge was also empty. Under the pressure of hunger and cold, these women and children cautiously walked into this castle. When this former barracks, they found the deserters who were scared and threw all their military resources here. Weapons, armor, Food and so on. Although they have not been maintained or guarded for many years, they have caused more than half of the damage, but at least they have alleviated their crisis. The scornful armor of these northerners made them re-armed and regained the confidence to face difficulties.
So they settled here and lived. Gradually, some of the surviving families gathered here one after another. They helped each other on this land, licking their wounds silently.
It is safe here. It belongs to the Northland. Since the Northlanders allowed them to stay, no one would dare to blatantly kill here. They took advantage of the remaining prestige of the Northlanders to save themselves. They survived and grew stronger in this crevice, and gradually recovered their vitality.
But what are they? They accepted the protection of the Northlanders, but they were not accepted by the Northlanders. Their former country has completely abandoned them.
No one here knows what he is? They once held the title of noble and glorious, their ancestors paid too much, too much, until they gave all. The result was betrayal. At the moment when they needed help most, after their ancestors gave their loyalty and life, the royal family betrayed them, and their former partners betrayed them. Then, everything they had, including their final identity, was lost.
Several generations have passed, and the new people have regarded this place as their hometown and home. But the elders always remind them that this is the land of the Northlanders, and they are not the masters here. They just live here, and the Northlanders have never promised anything.
Whenever the royal delegation passes by here, it is the most tense period for people. They are afraid of changes and disasters. With this sense of crisis, the people here are united and exclusive. They have never really relaxed, and have been working hard to train themselves under the strict discipline of their elders since childhood. They don't expect to fight against the Northlanders, but if one day the Northlanders no longer shelter them, they can at least face the betrayers independently.
They have an excellent heritage, and their ancestors are all experienced knights. With the efforts of several generations, the people here are all good knights. So as long as you think about it, they can form a knight at any time. Only this time, they will not fight for glory and loyalty like their predecessors, but fight for their homeland and revenge.
Last year, we got a lot of news from the mission, and people's attitudes towards them have also changed slightly. All the circumstances show that the people from the North are coming, and this will be the inevitable first stop.
This is a tough winter. Although they have plenty of food and warm houses this winter, tension and depression, as well as possible disasters, make everyone shudder.
This spring came a bit early, the snow and ice melted early, and the road changed from muddy to dry and easy. When the people here were busy, they began to wipe their weapons and armors. The items at home are also neatly packed and can be evacuated quickly at any time.
On the south side of Beigu Bridge, the old castle still stands here. People living here call it Northland City. Now a group of people gathered in the chamber in the center of the castle. They just said good things, but no one spoke up. The discussion has already been over. One winter is enough to complete various plans. People just come here habitually, seeking psychological comfort.
Ms. Yier, the head of the Hyde family, said tiredly: "Go back."
As the voice fell, people stood up mechanically and left silently.
...
In people's worries, what should come is finally here.
First, a huge falcon flopped over the perpetual river and let out a cry that resounded through the clear sky. This attracted everyone's attention. The people outside the house put down what they were holding, and when they looked up, they were immediately stunned.
People who live here are familiar with this call, and they are also familiar with the figure of Snow Falcon. Snow falcons fly by at this time of the year and make loud calls. It reminds people who is the master here.
It's just that this year is different. With this tweet, the sounds start to come and go. More and more figures began to appear, gradually covering the sky.
The disturbed people walked out of their homes one after another, looking towards the sky. As a result, they opened their mouths one by one, and were shocked by the scene in the sky.
From time to time, shadows passed over the head, making people's expressions darker and darker, and everyone began to tremble.
As there were more and more snow falcons, they gradually formed a storm and pressed down towards the ground. When a snow falcon swooped over people's heads, the strong air current awakened the silly crowd. They appeared panicked and hid in the house.
Ms. Yier and several elders have already boarded the city wall. Several people looked at the chaotic scene below, looking helpless. Talking on paper is useless after all, and when you really face it, all your plans are in vain. At this moment, they had already been penetrated by cold sweat.
There was a howling of wolves in the distance, and several huge white wolves entered the vision of several people. As these white wolves approached, the pack of wolves came out. The howl became clear, began to pierce the ears, and began to boil.
The tall figure of a few riders appeared along with the wolves. Far away, a team followed them.
Il heard someone yelling in horror, "The Northlanders are here! They are here!"
