In the early autumn of the year of fog and flowers, the Ledan Army Town in the northern part of the Adria Kingdom.

In the defense line in the north of the kingdom to resist the invasion of the Osasu barbarians, the position of the Laidan military town in the northern defense line was not as important as that of other military towns, as if its existence was just a common offensive and defensive assistance place to contact other military towns. Every time the Osasu barbarians invaded, the danger faced by the Laidan military town was far lower than that of other military towns. Even in the year of autumn frost, the Laidan military town did not even meet a single Osasu barbarian; so there were rumors in other military towns that they wanted to be gilded on the front line and get rich and went to Laidan.

Recently, Laidan Army Town has replaced a group of sergeants. I heard that they were all children of nobles who came from the royal capital. In Laidan Army Town, any news spread very quickly. Most of the people living here are the families of soldiers and commanders garrisoned here, and every household has been familiar with them over the years.

At the end of summer every year, the Osasu barbarians are used to going south to the Adria Kingdom to rob. As for the size of the invasion, it depends on whether there has been any change in the enemy opposite. The merchant spies who came back to Osasu in the north have received returns. There has been no change in the opposite direction this year. The changes in the northern grassland two years ago have caused the Osasu barbarians to have not recovered their vitality so far, so the invasion facing the northern defense line this time is probably not too worried.

Perhaps this news made the nobles in the royal capital feel ready, so before the Osasu barbarians invaded, they sent a group of noble children to replace some sergeants in the Northern Defense Line Army town to gilt, especially the sergeants in the Laidan Army town who had been safe for many years were replaced even more. Apart from the sergeants who were safe and steady, most of the other sergeants were replaced. Nefar, the commander of the Ledan Army Town, had no choice but to face all this. If they were really facing the invasion of an elite army in the Kingdom of Osasu, it would not take long for Ledan to fall. Nefar, the son of the nobles who talked about war on paper and were timid in the battle, had seen too many, but in previous years, Laidan has been in a safe situation. I hope this is the case this year. Nefar can only comfort him like this.

Everything that happened in Laidan Military Town did not seem to affect the lives of the people in the town. Occasionally gathered together to chat would only treat what happened as a topic of jokes. In a peaceful and safe environment for many years, everyone had already relaxed their bodies and minds, as if the Osasu barbarians opposite had long forgotten this place.

The young Xia Lan waved the long sword of the kingdom in the yard where she lived, practicing the military sword skills taught by Uncle Obul again and again. A little girl was swaying on the swing under the big tree on the side, watching Xia Lan's actions bored. Until Xia Lan finished practicing, the little girl immediately jumped off the swing like a little rabbit and jumped forward and grabbed Xia Lan's sleeve, dancing and laughing and saying something.

My mother died early, and her father died in the battle with the Osasu barbarians five years ago. Xialan, who was seriously ill, was adopted by his father's colleague Obul, who had a deep affection. Perhaps it was too exciting for his father to be killed by the Osasu barbarians. After he recovered from the illness, Xialan began to beg for swordsmanship from Aubul. He did not refuse this matter. As a soldier, Aubul was very happy that his friends' descendants could inherit his will.

Perhaps what Aubrey never knew was that Xia Lan, who once called him Uncle Aubrey, had already become another person, and his purpose of learning swordsmanship was not just as simple as Aubrey thought.

In the years since he came to this world, Xia Lan has become accustomed to her current identity and constantly listened to the probabilities of this world. What made him feel like a dream was that he had come to this world.

"The Sky of Elderland"

In his last life, a stand-alone virtual game that was popular all over the world. In the game, you can choose a variety of character professions. Due to its extremely high degree of freedom and authenticity, it gives people the feeling that it is another person who is taking risks in another world. "Xia Lan" also came into contact with this game in his previous life, but he is not like most people who are used to developing a character to take risks. Whenever the selected character profession has just improved, he will delete and select a new character profession, descend to different countries, appreciate the cultural society of each country, and experience the short life of different character professions.

Such an alternative gameplay also made him lose the fun of developing characters in the specific process. What he gained was to see the different customs and cultures of this world and understand the short life content of each character; before he died, he had heard that this game was about to launch a multiplayer online game.

The Kingdom of Adria, "Xialan" had briefly visited this country as a merchant in the last life, and even lost a large amount of property when the Osasu barbarians briefly broke through the northern defense line of the Kingdom of Adria.

Xia Lan is not clear about the specific situation. This is the pleasure he lost in the past play. He has a rough understanding of important events that occur in each kingdom, and the specific content is unknown.

This is the world he has been to. It is so absurd and weird but extremely real. The game's life is always on the sidelines of the third party. The danger you face when you are in it is definitely not something you can imagine. The game characters can still be re-dead through S/L, but if this real world dies...

After death, he came to this world mysteriously. The next death may face the ending of the absence of consciousness and eternal dissipation. He has died once and knows the taste of death.

The vague consciousness continued to dissipate, and he could not see, hear, and could not feel anything. I don't know why it was so profound in my memory that he didn't want to die.

Xia Lan, who lacks a sense of security, began to learn how to protect himself. Learning swordsmanship is just the beginning. He wants to escape from here and go to a wealthy and safe city to find his future in this world.

The little girl who was pulling Xia Lan's sleeve was named Rona, who was the daughter of Uncle Obul, five years younger than Xia Lan. When Xia Lan was brought back to raise by Aubul, what made the young and innocent Rona happy was that there was an older brother who could play with her every day. Over the years, Xia Lan had become accustomed to having such a little girl beside her calling her brother laughing and making noise every day. The loneliness in this familiar but strange world also made Xia Lan feel happy because of the appearance of Xiao Luona.

Aubrey is now a soldier officer in Laidan Army Town. When senior officials and chiefs frequently change, Aubrey not only wants to say goodbye to his original boss, but also has to establish a good relationship with the new chief officials. Although he despises these noble children who come to gilt in his heart, he has to do some things for the sake of future.

When early autumn came, the guards of Laidan Army Town were a little more severe than usual. This situation would continue until the first snow in winter. People in the town began to restrain the children from running around in case of accidents. Although Laidan Army Town has been in a safe position for many years, people are not worried about whether the Osasu barbarians will invade. From the habit of vigilance that our ancestors began to develop many years ago, they have been inherited to this generation and continue.

After some time, rumors spread from somewhere that the Osasu barbarians suddenly invaded the northern defense line by abnormal behavior. The northern defense line of the kingdom, caught off guard, fell into a hasty defense passiveness, and the situation was critical and not good.

The Laidan Army Town still did not see the shadow of the Osasu barbarians at this moment. The depression felt by the people in the military town seemed to have been relieved. Optimists believed that the invasion of the Osasu barbarians might have forgotten this place again, but most people maintained a neutral attitude and watched the situation develop. You must know that the northern defense line belongs to the prosperity and the loss of the one; if other military towns suffer, then the Laidan Army Town will definitely be in trouble.

The commander of the Ledan Army Town, Nefar, was the most unsure person in his heart. The scouts who sent out to other military towns to obtain information a few days ago are still left without any news. The worst thought in Nefar's heart is whether those soldiers encountered any unexpected problems in the middle of the journey. In his worries, he could only send a team of scouts again.

At this point, I can only ask my subordinates to lead the soldiers to be vigilant and have no other unnecessary thoughts outside of rectifying and preparing for war. What should come will always come, but the nobles' sons and chiefs are an important problem and flaw. If there were no replacement this time, maybe a tough battle would be taken down. Nefar sighed helplessly in his heart.

Recently, Oble has been back home less and less. Every time he comes back, Oble will hold back Xialan and say some instructions to protect Rona and his daughter. Auble's solemn appearance made Xialan realize the troubles of the incident. In the past few years, the invasion of the Osasu barbarians did not make Auble solemn. This time the situation made Xialan feel bad because he thought of that matter.

When he was a merchant in the game, the Osasu barbarians briefly broke through the northern defense line of Adria until the kingdom reinforcements headed north. After May, they recovered and consolidated the northern defense line.

Could this incident happen at this time? Xia Lan was shuddered when he thought of the tragic situation that the Osasu barbarians were about to ravage here. He wandered around Osasu in the game and deeply understood the cruelty and ferocity of the barbarians. He was likely to die at that time!

When he thought of this, Xia Lan began to fear every day in the future. He thought about running away, but how could the Aubr family, who was affectionate and kind to him, leave their cowardice and escape! They are not NPCs in the game, but real people with flesh and blood! Since they came to this world, their feelings with them have become an unscathing bond.

From that day on, Xia Lan always kept holding the standard sword given to him by Aubr. He practiced military swordsmanship every day and worked harder than he had never been. When Rona and his daughter asked about his abnormality, Xia Lan would hide the past with the reason he wanted to protect them. Only he knew the bitterness in his heart and expected that his expectations would not come true at all times.
