Mercenaries and Adventurers

After the guards of the Chamber of Commerce representing the surrender went back, soon, those thugs came out from behind the wooden box bunkers blocking the road.

They put the various weapons in their hands on the ground, and then sat down on the ground.

Keir was instructed by Knight Crowe, and immediately took the melee militiamen and walked up with the rope in his hand. On the wall facing here at the back, militiamen holding bows and crossbows one by one held Kiel and the others in line, beware of any conspiracy by the other party.

But no.

Cut the long bundle of ropes with a dagger, and then firmly tied the hands of the chamber of commerce thugs and fellows of the chamber of commerce who were watching them in fear on the ground.

Then the weapons of those people were also collected together.

After finishing these tasks, Keir led people into the center of the village.

In the direction of the village center towards the militia's attack, several senior executives of the Scar Chamber of Commerce were waiting for Kiel and the others to come over, and behind each of them stood two guards of the Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing that the Chamber of Commerce guards still had weapons in their hands, Kiel yelled at them to put down their weapons.

Those guards looked at their respective masters, and the senior managers of the chamber of commerce wanted to say something to Kiel, the soldier leading the team, even though their expressions were ugly.

Pointing the spear back at these people, Kiel scolded in a cold voice: "Again, if you surrender, you will unload your own weapons, or you will fight against us. Put down your weapons!"

The life-threatening militiamen behind them also scolded: "Put down your weapons!"

"This is our last dignity and protection, please allow our guards to remain minimally armed."

An old steward of the Scar Chamber of Commerce saluted Kiel and the others, speaking in a pleading tone.

Keir knew that these people would die later, so he had to disarm at this moment, so he continued to shout: "Drop your weapons!"

But the young militiamen behind him, facing this obviously high-status old man opposite him, spoke to them in such a pleading tone, it was difficult for them to put down their weapons.

Keir turned his head and glanced at them, still insisting: "Put down the weapon!"

After he finished speaking, he paused the spear on the ground.

Boom!

Several senior managers of the Scar Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side looked at Kiel's full-body armor that was stained red with blood and suspicious liquid, and they were still very scared.

That's how many people killed to dye their armor red tonight.

And that blazing killing intent, even old bones like them, can clearly feel it.

The old steward and the others looked at each other, and finally said: "Well, let us take off our weapons to represent our surrender. But how about keeping at least one weapon for the guards? For a powerful man like you Soldiers, you shouldn’t take the guards of the chamber of commerce with only one weapon in your eyes, right?”

Kiel was about to speak, but was interrupted by Knight Crowe's voice.

Accompanied by the sound of the hooves of the two horses, two horses, one light and one heavy, came over.

Walking in the front, the knight riding a huge steel-armored horse is Knight Crow, and behind him is the son-in-law of the Gurov family, the fat Mr. Huberock, with cold sweat and excitement on his face.

At this time, Mr. Shubi Rock was trembling with excitement. He didn't expect that the things that had troubled him for several years would end in one night.

He wiped the sweat from his head with a silk handkerchief that had already been soaked in sweat. His lips, which were much smaller than his fat face, kept opening and closing, not knowing what to say.

But he didn't dare to speak, because Knight Crowe was talking.

"What are your identities? How dare you be defeated and surrender like the nobles? It's ridiculous. It's just a group of armed chambers of commerce that illegally occupied the ruled villages. Originally, according to the laws of the kingdom, they intercepted taxes from the owner's territory without noble qualifications. But it is a capital crime. It is to be hanged by the Magistrate of the Assize Court."

Crow Knight stretched out his hand and pointed at these people: "I made an exception to exempt you from the death penalty by letting you surrender, but you still want to keep the guards armed? Keel, go up and surrender their weapons!"

"Yes, Lord Knight!"

As soon as Kiel's words came out, the senior managers of the Ska Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side realized who their real opponent tonight was, a knight.

And Shubi Rock who is next to him!

Shubi Rock was the former manager of Dead Leaf Village, and they, the Scar Chamber of Commerce, drove him away and seized this place, so they naturally knew each other. After the other party was driven away, although he still harassed people at first, after being beaten several times, the other party no longer appeared near Dead Leaf Village.

Even if they met in Pine Needle Town, the other party just bowed their heads and hurried past.

How could they have imagined that at this time, this guy was actually following a knight and defeated them in the middle of the night.

"It's you! Is it the knights and soldiers you found? Where did they come from? Tell me!"

Among the senior managers of the Scar Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged manager looked directly at Shubi Rock and asked.

But he was immediately pushed to the ground by Keir: "Shut up and hand over your weapons."

Seeing that these people were still dawdling, Kiel returned the spear to his companions behind him, and then he took off all the weapons on the guards of these people with his own hands.

"Take off all the leather armor on your body!"

"My lord, this leather armor is my own property!"

Some guards refused to take off their protective equipment.

"Choose one between life and property?"

Kiel kicked the stubborn guard down, grabbed the neckline of his clothes with his hand and said.

Looking at the slightly red eyes behind the steel helmet visor, the guard was frightened all of a sudden. Although he was older and taller than Keir, this man clearly felt at this moment that if he said something wrong If you do something wrong, you will definitely die next.

"I, I take it off. I just take it off."

Seeing that the man was submissive, Kiel pushed him away, and then one by one removed all the weapons from the guards.

The weapons of these people are basically much better than those of the thugs, and most of them have complete body protection equipment, which is much stronger than the body protection of the thugs who wear animal skin clothes at most.

Keir secretly evaluated, if there was a fight, how many could he deal with by himself?

three? four? Four.

The main reason is that after the enemy join forces, the pressure during the battle will double. Although wearing such an armor, you are not afraid of the swords on these people, but there are many opponents. Once you throw him to the ground and control it, then Ruined.

After disarming all these people, they were carried away by two militiamen holding the car in their arms. All the captured battles tonight belonged to the Kendalls. As for other things, Crow Knight was more restrained and only let the militia simply search He looked at the coins on the dead and those who surrendered, as well as the money boxes in the shops in Pine Needle Town before.

The goods and commodities were not moved, and the militiamen took one or two by themselves, and he didn't care. As long as you don't affect the battle, you can bring as much as you want.

This is also one of the reasons why these militiamen are willing to follow the nobles to fight.

Knight Crowe saw an old man who died on the side, and the clothes on his body were consistent with the rest of the senior leaders of the Scar Chamber of Commerce, so he asked what happened.

"Just a moment ago, when we were discussing surrender, he had a quarrel with another senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce. The other stabbed him with a self-defense dagger, and then ran away. The dead and injured guards beside him, It's the bodyguard for the two of them."

A senior manager of the Chamber of Commerce explained to Knight Crowe. After speaking, he stared fiercely at Mr. Huberock just like everyone else.

They boldly spoke a few words to Shubi Rock, and immediately extracted from the opponent's mouth the history of Knight Crowe and the others, and why they participated in the matter of Pine Needle Town.

It turned out that the knight and the master of the army happened to spend the night with the old knight Gurov through the collar of Gurov today. Unexpectedly, the baron who commanded the army was a family friend with Old Gurov. He generously lent the army at the banquet and wiped out all the influence of their Ska Chamber of Commerce in Pine Needle Town and Dead Leaf Village.

They heard that before they came to Dead Leaf Village, the streets where the Ska Chamber of Commerce stronghold in Pine Needle Town had been cleared.

This shattered the last hopes of several people.

The president took his staff to the east to do business, and it is impossible to come back for a month or two. When the other party comes back, they don't know how much torture they will suffer.

"Hubby Rock, can we buy ourselves our freedom with property?"

someone asked.

But Shubi Rock just wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, he secretly looked at the silent Knight Crowe beside him.

Knight Crowe is supervising the militiamen to find out some of the floating wealth owned by the Scar Chamber of Commerce and move it to the carriage that they don't know where they found it.

There is no time to pay attention to these people.

Seeing that Shubi Rock did not respond to this question, these merchants finally understood who they should turn to at this time, and who could make a final decision.

"My lord knight. Excuse me?"

But before he really asked what he wanted to ask, Knight Crowe only glanced at these people, and then ordered Kiel to lead people to take them away.

The people whose arms were tied screamed and were brutally held together with their thugs, all squatting in an open space.

Before these people could react, Knight Crowe waved his hand and ordered the militiamen on the side to use their bows and crossbows to shoot.

"Shoot them all to the ground. Don't think too much, shoot them in turn."

With an order, a small number of militiamen directly raised their crossbows and shot them with arrows. Most of the militiamen saw that their companions had already attacked, and then they followed suit, shooting at the twenty or so surrendered people who were **** with ropes and didn't need to take much aim.

"Ah! How could this be! Stop! Stop!"

"We surrendered! Can't do this!"

"Forgive! Forgive! Forgive!"

"No! Uh..."

"vomit…"

"I don't want to die."

More than 20 people were shot and injured here in a short while, but not all of them were dead. After the shooting stopped, Kiel walked up with a long gun, holding the long gun upside down, and shot the wounded Ska chamber of commerce one by one. All the rest were stabbed to death on the ground.

The blood soaked the gravel on the ground. After the Ska Chamber of Commerce came, they invested in the pavement laid in the village. In the end, it became the mattress for them to sleep on when they died.

In the church window in the distance, a shepherd of the Saturnalia with blue eyes looked at the deaths of the merchants and their subordinates, as well as the faint sense of the divine power of the Saturnalia in the last soldier, shook his head heavily, folded his hands together, and looked at the gods Pray and report what he has seen and heard.

As for the church of the God of Wealth, the nervous shepherd tightly clenched the long staff in his hand, and took a last look at it. After the talk yesterday, all the merchants who developed the village and the chamber of commerce were killed, and he tightly closed the door of the church. , Asked the trainee priest to move a chair to block the doorway, he stood in the middle of the empty church hall, and prayed to the gods for blessings with the family members of the Ska chamber of commerce who were sobbing around him.

Pray that cruel things don't befall them.

-

Perhaps the gods really did their best that night. After the killing soldiers handed over with another wave of people who arrived in the village in the early morning, they happily walked away singing songs and carrying spears.

The pastor of the God of Wealth saw through the window of the church that the newcomers belonged to other chambers of commerce in the town. He knew the banners of every nearby chamber of commerce clearly, and he could clearly see that the incoming chamber of commerce was staffed by It was a chamber of commerce that was closer to the Gurov family before.

He let out a heavy breath, finally knowing what happened last night.

If it was just that the old knight Gurov found someone to clean up the chamber of commerce that offended him in the territory, then everything would be fine.

Not the worst situation.

However, he turned around and looked at the dozen or so businessmen's families, women and children who were sleeping sleepily on the chairs in the center of the church hall, and found himself in trouble again.

"Hey, let's pray more, the great Lord will find a way. At this moment, I can only ask the Lord for grace and mercy."

He walked over and continued to guide the weary and sad people to pray to the God of Wealth together.

-

Kiel and the others drove the donkeys and wagons they found in the warehouse of the Ska Chamber of Commerce. Although they were tired, they started their journey back in good spirits.

They will drive from Dead Leaf Village to the camp outside the manor of Old Gurov Knight before dawn.

The sentry guarding the camp looked at these murderous companions in surprise, and asked them what they were doing last night in surprise.

Knight Crowe snorted coldly, and the sentinel immediately shut up.

"It will be dawn soon, and the trumpet will not be blown to wake people up." The knight said the last sentence, and then led the crowd to the center of the camp, and explained to the logistics personnel who were called up, so that the militiamen who went out to fight last night will rest on the logistics vehicles during the day today. . Join the march in the afternoon.

"Don't sleep, take off the weapons and equipment to the logistics, they will find water to clean the weapons and equipment. Then eat and rest. Go, take off the weapons and equipment first, and then wait for the meal."

What Knight Crowe said was actually to give everyone a chance to go back and count and pack their respective harvests tonight.

As for the things taken by the militiamen other than coins, they can be sold to the merchants behind the army during the rest of the march during the day.

Although they will be slaughtered for a fortune, how can there be coins for the goods to carry with them.

Kiel followed Knight Crowe to their camp.

Knight Crowe's horse also has a lot of valuable things that Kiel and the militiamen handed over last night, such as unknown metals in boxes, gem jewelry, the magic dagger "Heartfire" and so on.

Most of Kiel's seizures were the weapons and equipment of the enemies he beheaded.

He found a bag to store the money, and he found a box to store the enemy's weapons and equipment. After dragging them from the truck back to his camp with horses, Keel directly put these things on his pony cart, and simply used Once the rope is tied up, it doesn't matter.

He himself was holding the big steel sword that he thought looked pretty good, he burrowed into the tent, and took off the armor full of dead blood little by little, holding the big sword himself, and then entered the dreamland .

-

The dark and lightless dream forest is still quite cold.

Kiel was wearing an iron armor, holding a big steel sword, and walked quickly towards the source pond of the colorful river.

Exhaling cold air while walking, Keir walked over at a much faster speed than usual, and immediately took off the inner armor he was wearing in the open space by the pond.

Even though this inner armor was worn inside the armor, many places were still soaked with blood, and after drying, blood coagulated scum fell down rustlingly.

After taking off the blood-smelling inner armor, Keir went to a bucket he had brought in, moistened it with a clean cloth, and wiped it briefly for himself.

Wipe off the sweat and fatigue from your body.

Kiel immediately changed into the clothes he left here last night. When he looked for the hard cowhide armor, he found that his armor was scattered around the pond.

"Nasty goblin."

He shook his head, cursed, and picked up the leather armor that the goblin had taken to play around the pond.

Pick up one and wear one on your body.

Put on one and just open your mouth to curse.

After a while, the old goblin who was cursed by Kiel floated out of the surrounding moss angrily.

The other party boldly floated in front of Kiel, dancing and gesticulating, as if asking why Kiel insulted it.

Kiel pulled his face and nodded it: "I still have to wear this armor, you can just touch it and see, why do you want to make them all around, I am already annoying enough, I killed it last night So many people are still being bullied by you now. It's ridiculous!"

The little goblin was exasperated, waving its hands and expressing its meaning with various movements.

Keir seemed to understand: "What do you mean? You forgot to put it back after playing, and you still blame me? Hey! What's the point?"

The goblins are confident, as if the meaning of their existence is to make a mess of things, and they are very proud of it.

"Ms. Apolfina told me that elves are an important support for elves and can bring a lot of help. Well, I am not an elf, so you can make trouble for me like this, bullying me can't do anything about you, right? The lady said You want to help me, when did you help? It's a mess."

Although the goblin is still very proud, it seems that if it makes trouble, its life will be very complete. But when Kiel mentioned the lady's name, the little thing UU Read Book www.uukanshu.com was shy and embarrassed.

It seems that I just remembered the lady's previous explanation.

As soon as Gululu's khaki eyes rolled, it grinned and laughed with a small hissing sound.

Kiel ignored it, and while putting the leather armor he picked up on his body, he squinted at this small and mischievous thing.

Who knows what kind of nerves this guy has.

After putting on his armor, Kiel took a wooden chair to rest in the open space and took a nap.

Anyway, the time rules here are very strange. When he is here, the outside time hardly changes.

After taking a nap, he put away the inner armor of the iron armor and put it on his back.

After thinking about it for a while, he put the two-handed ax of the 'Yueshui Head' that was not used last night on the shelf where he stored his weapons and equipment.

The little thing seemed to be quite afraid of the axe, and if it was placed here, the goblin would not seem to come close.

Before leaving, Keel pointed to the goblins dancing around him: "Don't make trouble, I'll come back soon."

The goblin ignored him, and disappeared with a dangling poof.

"Just go."

In an instant, Kiel returned to his tent.

Putting the blood-stained armor into its exclusive armor wooden box, Kiel also threw the inner armor in, planning to find time to find someone to clean the inner armor, it was full of sweat and blood smell.

Holding the heavy wooden box, Keir walked out of his tent and loaded the wooden box of armor into the car. His tent was simply dismantled and rolled into a ball, and loaded into the carriage.

Keel yawned, greeted the guards of Knight Crowe, and went out to find a place to eat in the camp.
