Working Prophet.

Chapter 72
Jordi looked in the direction of the fire, his face changed slightly, "No, it's a beacon for help, and the direction should be the fief of the Knights of Trinidad."

"It must be those damn lizardmen. They finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack." His follower Karl continued, "But there is still a month before the crops are harvested. Why did they come so early this time?"

"No matter what the reason, the Knight of Trinidad and the people in his territory need us." Miss Rabbit looked serious.

The purple broom knight and his subordinate looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said, "What you said is, then I will take twenty militiamen to support the Trinidad knight."

After Karl finished speaking, he began to gather people in the village and distribute weapons and equipment.

However, because it was already dark, many people fell asleep, and the retinue knights ran around, and it took a long time to get the team together.

And when they heard that they were going to fight the lizardmen that emerged from the swamp, many militiamen showed fear on their faces.

Although the weapons and equipment of those robbers were as simple as theirs, their skills were much better than those of them who farmed for a living and had only received a little military training.

Under normal circumstances, it takes three or four militiamen to deal with a lizardman warrior, and the most important thing is that those lizardmen are not robbing their villages, nor are they robbing their wives and daughters. Can't come up.

The girl felt that she, the lord, should stand up and say something at this time.

After thinking for a while, she asked someone to hold a torch and walked towards the militia that was about to set off.

The expression of the knight who led the team changed slightly. Although he understood that Ilea just wanted to boost morale, he also knew very well that the new head of the Arias family was a bit mediocre in this regard.

Don't let the morale increase at the end, and the big guy takes another heavy blow, then he really doesn't know how to lead this team.

Thinking of this, Karl turned his eyes to the purple broom knight for help, but the latter quickly looked away, pretending not to see it.

At this time, the girl had already walked in front of those militiamen. She looked at the panicked faces, and stretched out a palm after a while.

"I assure you on the honor of the Arias family, as long as those lizard people can be driven away, each person who goes out this time can receive another five pounds of pork sausage, five loaves of bread, five glasses of mead, and five silver coins , when you return triumphantly, I will send it to you personally."

Miss Rabbit was so nervous that she trembled at the end of her speech. She didn't have Li Yu's excellent eloquence, and she didn't have the ability to lead the way and inspire the soldiers under her command like her father Russ.

After thinking about it, I can only judge others by myself, and use the power of money to encourage these militiamen who are about to go to the battlefield.

After she finished speaking, the crowd was silent for a while, and then burst into cheers, which were even more enthusiastic than during the day, and some people even hit the wooden shield in their hands with spears.

The subordinate knight who led the team also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It actually worked!Although the style of doing things is different from that of Lord Ruth, Miss Ilea's simple and rude way of motivating may be more to the appetite of these commoners. If there is any disadvantage, it is a little expensive.

Not to mention meat, bread, and wine, just five silver coins per person, which is ten gold coins. It has been a long time since the Arias family has such a proud patriarch.

What he didn't know was that Miss Rabbit on the other side was also having a heartache at the moment.

As soon as she said it, she regretted it a little.Because this time it was really a bloodletting, and the girl's heart was about to break when she took out so much money at once, but there was no way, this was her first speech, in front of so many people, if she messed up But it would be too embarrassing.

And Ilea was really worried about the safety of Trinidad Knight and others, so she finally gritted her teeth and dropped the money.

The high morale erupted by the militia after that also surprised Ms. Rabbit, as if it opened the door to some new world, but that's for another story.

Karl saw that the fighting enthusiasm of the team had been mobilized, so he also struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly led people on the road.

However, after they left for a while, another bloody man stumbled into the village.

The person who came claimed to be the entourage of the Trinidad knight said that the number of lizardmen who came out of the swamp to attack and loot this time exceeded sixty, and it was different from the past when they fought on their own and ran away after a frantic robbery. It seems that there is still an organization, and the advance and retreat are quite well-founded.

Seeing that they were defeated, the Knights of Trinidad gathered all the soldiers and villagers in the small castle in the center of the village, lit a beacon, and sent people out to ask for help.

And his identity was soon confirmed.

The purple broom knight's face immediately became very ugly when he heard this. There were 22 soldiers in Trinidad, and nearly forty militiamen. The number was about the same as those of the lizardmen, but their combat effectiveness was far worse.

Even adding that Karl and the militiamen he brought are still not very impressive, and Trinidad and his men have a castle to rely on, and they can hide behind the stone wall if they are defeated, but Karl and the others have to face those people directly. lizard Man.

If it is a regular army, as long as it can withstand the first wave of shock, it can form a front and rear flank attack with Trinidad's troops on those damned lizardmen.

However, the militiamen brought by Karl don’t have this kind of ability. Although their morale is still good, as long as those lizardmen attack them and kill three or four people, the whole team will collapse soon. become lambs to be slaughtered.

The purple broom knight immediately called for people to catch up with Karl and the others who had come to support them.

However, the retinue knight and his party had been gone for a while, and Jordi didn't know if they could still catch up.

Miss Rabbit made a decisive decision, "We have to do something more. I promised those people that I will hand out food and silver coins to them when they come back!"

"Master Jordi has sent someone to call back that team." Alfred replied after hearing the words.

"But it's possible that you won't be able to catch up, isn't it?" the girl asked back.

"It's possible, and there's no way around it." The old knight's voice sounded a little cold, "It seems that Master Jordi has no extra manpower."

"There is a way. There is no one in Jordi, but we have it. Thanks to Alfred's persistence, I came out with a lot of guards this time." Ilea said, "It's not just Karl and him. The militiamen, Trinidad Knight and his men also need support, we have to find a way to repel the invading lizardmen."

"Miss Ilea, with all due respect, I and the guards I brought here are only for your safety, other things have nothing to do with us."

"How can it be irrelevant?" The girl's mind was unprecedentedly clear at this moment, "Even if you don't care about the casualties of those civilians, Jordi's fief is next to Trinidad's fief, if those lizardmen rob the special Linida defeated Jordi's men again, and they will definitely rush here to continue killing and looting.

"At that time, we will face those guys directly, and without all the help, no one will be able to fight side by side with us anymore."
