Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning
Chapter 674: Viscount Haien
In the evening, Devonshire arrived at Viscount Hain's territory. Looking at the chaos there, his face was gloomy, but he did not act recklessly.
For a military general, the most taboo thing is to have personal emotions, as this will greatly affect his judgment.
"General Mueller, lead your troops to check the enemy situation. If you encounter a small group of enemies, you can act according to your discretion. If you encounter a large group of enemies, send someone to report to me in time."
"Yes, Lord Devonshire."
Muller rode on his horse, beat his chest and saluted, then led his 1,500 temple knights forward.
Above the sky, Kyle quietly watched Devonshire's deployment without going down to participate in the actual command.
He only needs to get back the thirty military merits. As for the command of the ground forces, Devonshire will naturally be responsible for it.
One thousand five hundred temple knights and three thousand red sun horses galloped rapidly across the land.
Compared to the Red Phosphorus Horse and the Purple Horse, the Red Sun Horse is a horse from the world of Wakalem. It is classified as a beast in the main world and lacks stamina, so it can only be made up by numbers.
Viscount Hain led a small town with a population of over a thousand. More than a hundred soldiers swaggered into the town and began to loot.
"Search carefully for me, don't let those outsiders get away with it." An officer in leather armor ordered his subordinates with a domineering and arrogant look.
A soldier of a slightly higher status said with a flattering smile on his face, "Sir, don't worry, every copper coin in this town is a treasure for you and the Viscount, and it will definitely not be given away to those outsiders."
"Hahaha, I like to hear that. I'll give you a few silver coins when I get back." The officer laughed.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Seeing this, the other soldiers all showed envious looks.
"bang bang bang"
"Come out, all of you, come out."
"Taxes are paid, taxes are paid."
"Open the door quickly, you damned untouchables, open the door quickly."
More than a thousand townspeople were driven out of their houses by soldiers and walked towards the square.
The officer stood in the square, looking at the fearful eyes of the townspeople below with great satisfaction.
"Listen carefully, you lowly people. Viscount Hain has ordered that in order to protect your safety, we will now start collecting mountain and gorge taxes, soldier taxes, army march taxes, and road repair taxes..."
The officer began to read from the document, listing thirty-two types of taxes.
After reading it, the officer rolled up the document and put it in his arms. He would go to the next town to read it later, so he couldn't lose it.
"In short, each of you untouchables needs to pay a tax of three gold coins."
"Three gold coins. Even if you sell my whole family, you can't get that much money." A skinny townsman said with hatred in his eyes and gritted teeth.
"Someone, drag him out."
Just when I was worrying about how to make an example of someone, here comes someone to my door.
Two soldiers entered the crowd, pulled out the skinny townsman, and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"Lord Haien works too hard every day to protect your safety. You lowly people dare to resist taxes. You deserve to die."
After saying this, the officer drew his iron sword, aimed it at the townsman’s head, and chopped it off with all his might.
"Click"
A head rolled down the stairs and fell into the crowd.
"Old, weak, women and children, come back and get the money. If you can't pay enough tax, don't blame me, the tax officer, for being cruel."
The townspeople looked at the devil-like officer, then at the headless corpse dripping with blood, and subconsciously shrank their heads. They could only follow his instructions and return home to look for money.
In less than a moment, the ground suddenly shook.
"Sir, there is a knight group in the distance." A soldier entered the town, came to the square, and reported loudly to the officer.
The officer stood up, made a judgment with his own confidence, and said loudly to his soldiers: "Those outsiders are coming, everyone, get ready. We are Viscount Hain's men, and we can't lose face in front of those outsiders."
Hearing the boss's order, everyone straightened their chests and showed their bravest side.
The officer straightened his clothes and walked towards the town gate with more than twenty soldiers.
Looking up, all I could see were iron barrels.
"Something seems wrong with holding the flag."
The officer opened his eyes wide, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his mind.
"No, hurry up..."
Before he could utter a complete sentence, he suddenly saw a headless corpse, which seemed to be his own, and then his consciousness fell into darkness.
More than three hundred Temple Knights entered the town, and all the natives with weapons were killed by their swords.
In the square, more than 400 young and strong men looked at the headless corpses around them, and then looked at the strange human-shaped iron barrels. They couldn't help but pray to the God of Beasts in their hearts, hoping to escape this disaster.
"Captain, should we kill all these pagans?" A Temple Knight came to Muller, with a murderous look on his face, licked his lips, and made a suggestion.
Mueller looked down and shook his head and said, "Lord Weilin does not like meaningless killing. Since these people did not choose to resist, they are potential believers of the Goddess of Life. Send someone to report to Lord Devonshire and seek further instructions."
"Yes, Captain."
The Temple Knight took the order, called over a subordinate, and asked him to take his team to report to Lord Devonshire.
……
In the military camp outside the city of Hain, after Edmund learned that troops had entered Viscount Hain's territory, he immediately sent people to gather the troops and prepare to evacuate the area.
"not good."
The low-level Holy Seal Knight who was resting with his eyes closed sensed the danger, grabbed Edmund and flew out of the tent.
The next moment, a huge explosion sounded in the camp.
The smoke and dust cleared, the tents where the central army camp was located disappeared, and a deep pit appeared in front of everyone.
"It's troublesome."
Looking at the blond young man in the distance, he was the one who killed Leonard. He didn't expect that he would chase him here.
"Master, I will drag that man out later. Don't look back. Leave this place and continue the Isaac family."
Facing the look of the low-ranking knight of the Holy Seal, Edmund suddenly felt a little regretful. He should not have accepted the order in the first place. It was too late to regret now.
As for these tens of thousands of troops, they had no choice but to give up.
The low-level knight of the Holy Seal summoned his two war beasts, put Edmund on them, and after sending the other party away, he released his mount, condensed the Holy Seal of the Sky Sword, and rushed towards Kyle with all his strength.
His strength was no match for Leonard. If the other party could kill him, he could naturally kill himself as well. Now he had to use his life to buy time for Edmund.
Kyle raised his right hand, took back the secondary spear of Putlock, looked at the low-level knight of the Holy Seal who was rushing towards him, and prepared to have a good fight with him.
As for the Seven Seals warrior who ran away, he is just an ant and there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as this low-level knight of the Holy Seal worth thirty military merits does not run away, it will be fine.
