313 calendar year of the Frankish Empire (295 calendar year of the British Empire)

February 7.

The Frankish Empire, somewhere in the territory.

It's late at night. It's dark everywhere.

But even if there was only a faint moonlight and starlight to illuminate, Teo could still clearly find a place to walk.

After all - he has lived here since childhood and is no longer familiar with the terrain here.

Teo is an ordinary farmer.

Farm when the sun comes out, rest when the sun sets, and occasionally make some gadgets, such as umbrellas and children's toys, to support the family.

From his life, he lived an ordinary life.

Normally speaking, he should stay at home and sleep at this time, but tonight he is walking in such a dark night.

The reason why he is not normal tonight is that he can't sleep safely because of too many troubles recently.

If you want to ask him what bothers him most, it is naturally the recent harvest.

The wheat in his field has been growing badly since two years ago.

Teo's family is a big family. In addition to him, there are five people, including his wife, his two sons and his living mother.

It is precisely because of the poor growth of wheat in the past two years that their family of five has had a very hard time in the past two years.

Teo knows that if the wheat is not growing well this year, his family is at risk of starvation.

This heavy pressure has made Teo's mental state bad recently.

It is also because of this heavy pressure that special Olympics tonight has been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, and all he thinks about is wheat.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Teo just got up and planned to take a walk outdoors to relieve his mood.

After talking to his wife, Teo went out of the house in the evening wind.

Teo planned to take a walk along the big river he used to go to.

The village where Teo is located is adjacent to a big river. The water usually used in their village is basically taken from this big river.

Because he was no longer familiar with the surrounding terrain, Teo soon came to the river.

The river bank and the path can not be seen clearly, because the river is too wide and the surrounding light is too dim, so there is no way to see the scenery on the other side, and the other side is completely sunk in darkness.

The black water reflected stars here and there. They trembled and broke. Only from this can we infer the trace of the river flow.

There was no wind in the air. There was a bush beside Teo. In the Bush, a nightingale ignored Teo and was still singing.

Breathing the cool wind full of water vapor, Teo felt that the "boulders" accumulated in his chest had become smaller.

Just then, Teo suddenly found something different.

He suddenly found that there were many strange shadows in the middle of the river in the distance.

These strange shadows are very huge, like hills and dark beasts.

"What is this..." Teo whispered suspiciously, walking slowly close to the river bank, trying to get closer to these strange and huge shadows so that he could see the specific appearance of these shadows.

After walking to the river, Theo finally saw what these shadows were.

After seeing the specific appearance of these shadows, Teo screamed directly.

Because the true face of these shadows is - ships!

One huge ship after another!

Theo has never seen the big ship in his life.

Although Teo is almost 30 years old this year, in his 30-year career, he has only seen a small fishing boat that can only sit three or four people.

This is the first time Teo has seen such a huge ship.

Teo felt that any of these big ships could sit hundreds of people, maybe even a thousand people.

"What's this..." Teo whispered with shock, "where did these big ships come from..."

As far as Teo knows, his village is just a remote mountain village, which is difficult to see even foreigners. At this time, he saw so many big ships as big as a hill on the Bank of the river.

These big ships are moving orderly in the river, as if they are going somewhere.

Just as Theo was fascinated, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of Theo's neck.

Someone hit Teo hard in the back of the neck.

Strong vertigo surged out of his mind.

This strong vertigo made Teo not even have time to scream, so he collapsed to the ground and fainted.

……

……

When Teo finally woke up, he found himself tied to the trunk of a big tree.

In front of him stood two people.

Two soldiers in armor.

From the content of their speeches, they seem to have a superior subordinate relationship.

One seems to be an officer, while the other seems to be just an ordinary soldier.

The man, who was obviously an officer, shouted at the soldier.

"How on earth do you patrol? It's all said - no one is allowed near the river bank! "

"Ten, very sorry!" The soldier seemed very frightened, buried his head low and apologized, "I didn't expect that someone would be close to the river bank at this time..."

"Look what you've done!" The officer suddenly pointed to Theo, who was tied to the tree, "we could have avoided a senseless killing... Huh?"

At this time, the officer noticed that Teo woke up.

"You're awake." The officer said to Teo, "what's your name, where you live, and what do you do?"

The officer's tone was extremely strong. When he asked Special Olympics, he used a commanding tone.

Teo, who couldn't figure out the current situation, swallowed hard.

Just as he was about to say who he was, where he lived and what he did, the officer suddenly waved his hand.

"Forget it, don't tell me this. You're dying anyway."

——Dead?!

After hearing the unlucky word, Teo's eyes widened suddenly.

An ominous premonition welled up in his mind.

"It was all because of your negligence that the poor man saw our fleet." The officer said to the soldier, "whether this man is innocent or not, in order to ensure the concealment of our fleet, we can only kill him."

"Because this is your omission, you should be responsible to the end, and this person will be handed over to you."

"Pull him to the river and drown him, making him look like he fell down and drowned."

"Yes..."

The soldier sighed, his tone full of helplessness and pain.

"Sorry, friend."

The soldier walked slowly to Teo, who looked like death.

"It's all because of my problems that you have to die now. If only I could be more serious when patrolling, find you earlier and stop you from going to the river..."
