Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Facing the sudden army, the men dropped the wine glasses in their hands, picked up the weapons on the ground in a panic, and approached each other.Mothers frantically searched for their children and stuffed them under the table.

On the widest road, dozens of soldiers marched towards the square in neat steps.Behind them, a knight and a priest of Santis rode white horses and came with bridles.

They stopped within twenty feet of the crowd.A soldier came to the front of the team and shouted to the crowd: "Believers of false gods! Look around you, your doomsday is here! The messenger of the true god, Lord Shafar, and the most devout believer of the true god, Captain Lori, have arrived Now! Put down your weapons obediently, and offer your offerings to the true God! Otherwise..."

The knight interrupted him, "I am Rory, the infantry captain of the Sun Guard Army, and let your mayor come out."

The eyes of the crowd betrayed Mayor Martin, who had to squeeze his way through the crowd to face the formidable group of soldiers in armor.

"Uh...Lord Rory, I'm Martin, the mayor here, what's your order?"

Rory glanced at the crowd, "Mayor Martin, order everyone to put down their weapons, surrender immediately, swear to convert to the true God, pay enough offerings to the true god, and not resist. Otherwise, you will be shot."

"Uh... my lord..."

"Don't delay. Property or life, choose one. Or do you want to die first?"

"Hey, you guys!" Mayor Martin turned his head and shouted at the crowd, "My lord tells you to put down your weapons! Convert to the true God and hand over your property!"

"********"

Protests flooded the square, and men glared at Mayor Martin and the army, gripping their weapons.

Behind the crowd, Tails was next to Vera, and while gnawing on the lamb chops, he asked, "What are you going to do, despicable mage?"

Vera replied easily: "It's very simple, just do what they say."

"Are you sure? That's a lot of money, much more valuable than your mage tower." Tails looked around, "There are only a few hundred of them, and there is only one priest."

"Only? My dear servant, you should say that there are hundreds of them. Look at their bows and arrows. Even if you and I are not afraid, I don't think they are afraid of Charlie." Vera spread her hands, "In addition, if If you can’t guarantee to wipe them all out, you’d better be obedient. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.”

"Are you willing to watch them loot? What kind of true god do you want to convert to?"

"My dear servant, believe me, money is not as important as life, and swearing is even more insignificant. And..." Vera smiled, "After they leave, we can find a way to get them back."

"You mean mage, well said."

At the same time, the square is directly ahead.

Rory drew out his long sword and pointed at Mayor Martin, "Is this your answer? Are you going to choose death?"

Mayor Martin said with a sad face, "My lord, although, although I am the mayor, there are other people who rule here, and I don't mean anything at all."

"you are lying."

"No, my lord! Believe me. I, I'll call him right now!" Mayor Martin hurriedly turned to the crowd, stretched his neck to find the mage's whereabouts, and shouted deafeningly, "Hey! My lord! My lord mage! Saved The respected mage of our entire town! Hurry up! This knight is looking for you!"

Vera gave Mayor Martin a hard look, whispered a few words to Tails, and walked forward.

"Mage?" Rory looked at Vera warily.

"My lord, you heard me wrong. In fact, my name is Fass." Vera replied without blinking.

"Fass? Are you the ruler here?"

"In a sense, yes."

"Stupid! Captain Lori, don't be deceived by this devil's believer." Shafar raised his hand and pointed at Vera, "He is a mage, the incarnation of the devil. Didn't Lord Tufet teach you? To deal with mages, You must take away his staff, firmly bind his fingers, and gag his mouth to prevent him from casting spells."

Rory pointed the tip of his sword at Vera vigilantly, and shouted: "Devil's believer! Don't move! If you dare to move, I'll shoot you into a hedgehog. Now, you guys, go and tie up this mage!"

Soldiers surrounded them.

Vera dropped his hands, without saying a word, without protest, while the soldiers tied his hands behind his back and held every finger firmly.When the soldiers were about to gag him, Vera spoke up.He raised his head and gave Rory a hypocritical smile, "My lord, don't you need me to give orders to the townspeople I rule?"

Rory hesitated, and looked at Shafar hesitantly.

Shafar nodded.Rory then motioned for the soldiers to stop.

Vera asked calmly, "Master Knight, how much offering do you need?"

"five hundred……"

Shafar interrupted Rory, "Believers of the devil, all, hand over all your property."

Under Rory's surprised eyes, Vera replied: "Yes, but you must ensure that no one of the townspeople is hurt."

Rory replied: "No problem, as long as they are obedient."

The crowd became agitated. Amidst the puzzlement and abuse, Vera turned around, glanced coldly across the square, and said loudly: "Don't kill the residents of my town. Now, put down your weapons and move closer to the center of the square. Don't kill me!" Resist. Think about your family, your children, nothing is more important than life! As long as you save your life and your hands, the lost property will be earned back sooner or later."

Colorful ribbons still flutter overhead, and the cheerful atmosphere has long been replaced by fear and sadness.Reluctantly, people dropped their weapons and approached the center of the square amidst cursing and women's low cries...

The looting began.

Leaving about a hundred soldiers armed with bows and arrows to watch over the crowd, the army began methodically looting the town.They went from house to house to find out all the valuables that were portable, and expertly tied them together and loaded them into ox carts.

Under the threat of arrows, people huddled in the middle of the square, watching all this with grief and resignation.Under the protection of soldiers, priest Shafar read the teachings of the true God and forced people to take oaths they didn't believe in at all.Tails quietly squeezed from the crowd to the periphery, watching Vera quietly.

The mage is now staying at the corner of the square, with four soldiers guarding him. A sharp long sword is pressed against the mage's neck. As long as he moves slightly, the sword will slit his throat unceremoniously .At Shafar's request, a wad of handkerchief was gagged in Vera's mouth, which made him look amused.

Tails glanced at the soldier and the long sword in his hand, and quietly asked Vera with his eyes.Vera winked at him, telling him not to worry.

Soldiers carrying the property of the townspeople passed by in front of Tails. Money, decorations, food, livestock...the soldiers almost removed all valuable things.Tails was extremely distressed. He stared at these robbers and secretly made up his mind to take all these things back!As for now...damn archers!How similar this experience was to the one in the forest.That time, he couldn't deal with the wood spirit, and this time, although these humans were no threat to him, there were still six hundred unarmed townspeople here.

A dark cloud covered the sun, the sky darkened, the air became heavy, the cursing voices of the people gradually subsided, they succumbed to the threat of arrows, and swore an oath with Shafar like their fate.

Suddenly, a childish scream broke the frozen air.

"Hey! Robber!! Give me back my Kaka!" Immediately afterwards, a seven or eight-year-old boy ran out of the crowd, rushed towards a soldier dragging a goat, and firmly hugged the goat's neck .

The soldier kicked the little boy to the ground impatiently.The little boy quickly got up and rushed up unrelentingly, grabbed the soldier's arm, and bit his wrist hard!

The soldier let out a cry of pain, and slammed it hard, but failed to shake off the little boy's teeth.Immediately afterwards, another soldier dropped what was in his hand, picked up a spear and stabbed the little boy fiercely.

"No! Puppy!" A woman in an apron rushed out of the crowd, but apparently, she was too late.

The spear failed to pierce the boy as it wished, and one hand seized it.Tails picked up the little boy with his other hand and threw it to the woman behind him. His golden brown eyes were burning with anger, and he warned in a deep voice: "Don't go too far. Your boss promised not to harm these townspeople. "

Another spear answered him.At the same time, four men rushed out of the crowd, stood in front of the woman and Puppy, and glared at the soldiers.

Countless arrows were aimed at them.

The words of the Lowry infantry captain came from behind the soldiers: "What's the matter? What happened?"

"My lord! How dare these bumpkins resist, and this little bastard even bit me."

Rory frowned and waved his hand, "Teach them a lesson."

Shafar came on horseback, watching all this condescendingly.He snorted coldly, "Captain Lori Infantry, you are really kind. There is only one way to deal with these devil followers, and that is to purify their souls."

Rory pursed his lips, flinching from Shafar's gaze.

Shafar raised his right hand and ordered: "Catch them and purify their souls."
