Keel sat on his horse and concentrated on watching.
I found that even if it is very late, the remote Dead Leaf Village still has a lot of night lighting.
Compared to a village, it looks more like a workshop or chamber of commerce with lights on.
Kiel noticed that there are a lot of manure from horses, donkeys and mules on the dirt road leading to Dead Leaf Village. It seems that the business of the Ska Chamber of Commerce here is quite big.
However, Knight Crowe didn't care about these things. After thinking for a while, he whispered the next plan to Kiel and Huberock.
"Can this be done?" Mr. Huberock asked tentatively, wiping his forehead with a sweat-soaked handkerchief.
On Kiel's side, he didn't have any opinion on Sir Knight's plan, but he was worried about the extremely intense killing: "My lord, if we do this, won't this village lose many villagers?"
Knight Crowe didn't return to Kiel, but just looked at Huberock.
Mr. Huberock immediately replied to Kiel: "They are no longer the people of our Pine Needle Town. Mixing with the foreign Ska Chamber of Commerce and rejecting the rule of the Gurov family, this is no longer an ordinary people. It takes a heavy blow. OK!"
"Kiel, don't think too much, since the village manager has said so, you just copy it. And this is also a test."
Knight Crowe chuckled.
"What test?"
"The test of fighting and killing." Knight Crowe whispered to Kiel, while Mr. Huberock consciously rode away from the two of them, not daring to eavesdrop.
Knight Crowe said simply and firmly: "I want to see how far you can go in the fight between people. Show your real skills and fight with your hands and feet. There are very few opportunities for such a happy fight without consequences. .”
"Of course, if you want to become a knight, it is also very important to control and control the killing heart. You know, I can kill the enemy many times, but why don't I do it?"
"Why?" Keel was particularly curious about the answer, so he asked immediately.
"Because killing is easy, but restraining it is very difficult. I have seen many knights in the army who have let their hands and feet kill the enemy, but the upper echelons of the knight order seldom train them, because knights represent violence, and Violence needs to be controlled by rational 'people' before it can become power. Otherwise, it will only be the most tragic ending."
"So, tonight, unleash your strength and violence, and let me see what you can do as an ordinary person at this moment. Only in this way can I know how far you have gone, whether I have chosen for you On the road of knight training, persevere until the end."
"Huh?" Kiel heard the long speech of Knight Crowe, and felt that his journey to pursue power was really difficult.
He muttered a few words to himself, but was overheard by Knight Crowe.
"What are you muttering about? I find it troublesome and don't want to do it anymore? Huh, of course there is an easy way. There has been a simple way to become a knight since a long time ago, but you, a commoner, feel that you have the opportunity to obtain that simple and convenient way to gain power. Is it? Even Lanisa Knight in the county and her family, it took several years to stabilize the knight rank itself. Hey, that girl usually looks like she doesn't want to work hard. In fact, we guys can see her hard work behind the scenes In the eyes."
The knight bent down and patted Kiel: "So, the power in the world is not so easy to obtain. Go ahead, take someone up to listen to my orders, and show me your abilities in a while."
Kiel shook his sore shoulder from the knight's slap, and felt that his armor still didn't look very strong. The knight's two slaps just now made his shoulder very uncomfortable.
But he has already received the intention in it.
"Okay, then I'm on it?"
The knight nodded, waved to the thirty militiamen behind him and said, "Follow Kiel and prepare to fight."
"Yes, my lord!" the militiamen responded.
-
Following the command of Knight Crow riding a horse, the crowd deliberately slowed down when they approached the village of Dead Leaf, and spread out the team, walked to the nearby wheat field, and pointed their swords at the village from afar.
Naturally, there are people standing guard at the gate of the village. There are wooden guard towers several meters high at the entrance and exit of each village, and there are people sitting there watching guard day and night.
"Who?" They noticed the torches set by Kiel and his group from a distance, but because they were so far away, the guards thought it was some foreign caravan that wanted to trade in the village.
It wasn't until the militiamen walked in and formed a battle formation that he felt something was wrong. Because these people didn't have horses or wagons, they all came here on foot, and even walked into the fields beside the village road, trampling on the wheat seedlings of the farmers at will.
"You can't step on the fields! You will lose money!"
The sentry on the sentry tower shouted a warning.
But the militiamen still went their own way, and the sentry didn't notice that these people were all armed until the team walked in and took a look.
The visitor is not good! !
Nervously, he took out a hand-cranked brass bell from the box next to it, and immediately jingled and shook it.
The crisp and nervous bell rang through the entire Dead Leaf Village from the sentry tower, and everyone in the village was alarmed.
A senior executive of the Ska Chamber of Commerce climbed up from the woman, walked out of his room naked, and shouted at the subordinates who were watching outside: "Come and see what's going on, is there any chamber of commerce who is talking to us at the gate of the village?" People are confronting each other. If it is true, let the captain on duty control it, and then give me a 10% increase in the cost of that caravan!"
"Yes, my lord." His subordinates grinned and looked at the senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce who were not wearing anything, and immediately responded in a strange tone.
But before the man walked out of the house, there was the sound of horns and horns, which represented a serious warning signal, from the village entry and exit tower.
吥 吥 吥 吥 吥 吥—
All the members of the Ska Chamber of Commerce knew what this horn, which was usually blown when they met robbers who robbed the road when they were doing business in the wild, represented what it meant.
Especially in the middle of the night, when the alarm bells sounded and the horn sounded so urgently.
But the sound of the horn was only blown halfway, and then suddenly stopped.
The complexion of the top executives of the chamber of commerce changed, which is even more unfavorable.
"What are you doing in a daze? Someone attacked us! Call all the people who are resting! There are still people who are not resting, get me weapons and rush to the west of the village!"
The thugs responded immediately, and then ran out of the house one after another, went to various houses next to the center of the village to wake up the sleeping Chamber of Commerce guys and armed them. At the same time, the thugs and guys working in the warehouse in the center of the village were all directed to pick up their weapons in the house, and all rushed to the place where the alarm sounded.
-
Kiel returned the crossbow in his hand to the displeased fellow militiaman, grinning.
Just now he shot an arrow over the sentinel who was ringing the bell and blowing the horn.
Although Knight Crow's plan does require the Scar Chamber of Commerce's strength in the village to be ready, but it can't have projectile weapons in hand, but let the guys on the sentry tower issue warnings at will.
So Knight Crowe waved his hand, and Kiel consciously begged for a crossbow from his companion, and shot down the sentry with only one crossbow.
However, Knight Claw called Keel: "The three members of the Ska Chamber of Commerce at the door, you solved it alone. Kiel, I will let you unleash your skills. At least your victory tonight cannot be lower than that of all ten members of any militia team." The number of kills generated!"
"I see!"
Kiel responded loudly, and then rode out of the team and rushed straight to the three members of the Scar Chamber of Commerce who were huddled inside the gate.
It is said to be a gate, but the gate of Dead Leaf Village does not really have a door that can be opened and closed. It is just a mobile horse assembled with wood that is used as a gate.
Naturally, it is impossible to rush in directly if there is a refusal horse, and his horse is not the monster-like armored war horse of Knight Crowe.
After Da Da Da Da's horse approached here, Kiel directly slowed down and got off the horse. When landing, pay special attention to the place where you land on the ground, so as to avoid breaking your ankle because you step on the air.
The three people behind Juma held long swords and shields. Although they didn't have armor on their bodies, their relatively compact clothes did not hinder the battle.
"Who? Kill all of your people tonight."
Keel patted the horse's rear to keep his own horse aside. Then he took out a red-eyed mushroom sugar pill from the small leather bag on the belt with metal armor around his waist.
This thing eats one less, but judging by the situation tonight, it's time to use them.
He quickly opened the visor and swallowed it. While equipping the shield on his body, Kiel closed the visor, drew out his long sword and threw himself at the three people facing him.
The person on the opposite side naturally saw that Kiel was wearing armor, and the armor was covered with solidified bright red blood.
When Kiel strode around the Juma and rushed towards them, two of the three turned and ran, and only one of them raised the shield in his hand to meet Kiel.
"good!"
With a loud roar, Kiel ignored the long sword resting on his shoulder behind the man's shield, and directly stepped on the center of the opponent's wooden shield. The huge impact directly destroyed the man's expected counterattack. In a very unsightly posture, he flew upside down and fell to the ground.
After the opponent fell to the ground, he wanted to fight back. Kiel swung his sword and knocked the long sword in the opponent's hand away. Then the tip of the sword pierced the opponent's cheek and pierced the man's head directly, killing him.
But then, the two fleeing people rushed back with fierce faces.
It was only then that Kiel discovered that seven or eight thugs with various weapons in their hands and fellow members of the chamber of commerce ran over from the center of the village holding torches.
The two felt that they had backup, so they rushed towards Kiel with great momentum.
Although it was only in the blink of an eye that their companion was killed, the two of them were a little uneasy, but two against one, I have the advantage!
Turning his head to look at the situation of the fellow militiamen behind him, Keir did not fight the two men, but turned around and used his shoulders to push the corner of the horse, and pushed the thing that could only be moved by several people with all his strength. Open the gate in and out of the village.
With two bang bangs, the two men slashed directly at Kiel's body with their swords, but apart from the thin cloak on the back being torn apart, what they got in exchange was only two new white marks on Kiel's armor.
"Humph!" Keel felt the impact on his body, and was very satisfied with the defensive capabilities of this new armor.
If it was the previous pair of hard cowhide full-cover armor, although it could block these two blows, there would definitely be a breach on the surface of the armor, and the place where it was cut would also be painful.
But it doesn't matter now. Nothing can be left behind when the long sword is slashed, and the force brought by it is also absorbed by the iron armor as a whole. The impact force will not be borne by the body part, but the entire upper body.
Feeling that the two people behind him felt that their long sword slashes were ineffective, but they were still confidently preparing to strike again, Kiel let go of his shoulders, turned around suddenly and wrapped his arms around the opponent's two long swords.
With a draw of his left arm, he tried his best to control the opponent's two arms. Then, under the terrified eyes of the two people, the long sword in his right hand turned in a circle, smashing the entire head from the forehead of one person, and then lowered the long sword to stick to it. Holding the arms of the two, a deep wound was cut on the neck of the other.
Accompanied by a short scream, the man spewed a large amount of blood from his neck, which made the armor that Kiel had only dried off half of his body wet again.
As soon as the left hand was released, the bodies of the two people were thrown on the ground.
Then Keir continued to push away the refusal horse who was in the way.
Behind the militia team not far away, Knight Crowe nodded: "There are four."
Mr. Huberock next to him was short of breath and covered his mouth and eyes with his hands. But covering the mouth is to prevent discomfort and vomiting, but the hand covering the eyes, the fat fingers like small carrots are slightly opened, and the eyes behind are staring closely without blinking before killing with the sword A three-man Kiel warrior.
It was so scary, as expected, what I felt just now was right. Compared with the more powerful Crow Knights, these young people who have not yet become knights are more dangerous and dare to kill.
-
Seven or eight people saw from a distance that Kiel killed the two guards guarding the gate at once, and tried hard to push away the refusal horse blocking the way.
"Stop him! Kill him! Get back to the door!"
A tall thug in command waved a thick machete in his hand, and then let his companions charge straight away.
But what he didn't expect was that when they rushed over, Keir happened to push all the rejecting horses away.
Then Kiel threw himself directly on the ground, but he looked at these people inexplicably. Did he lose his strength because of too much strength?
Obviously not, at the same time that Kiel threw himself on the ground, on the fields and roads outside the village not far away, the front row of militiamen had a crossbow on the shoulders of another militiaman.
Accompanied by Knight Crowe's plain but clear command and waving hands, fifteen militiamen pulled the mechanism of the crossbow, and shot fifteen crossbow bolts whizzingly.
Fifteen crossbow arrows are aimed at seven or eight people, and each person can get two crossbow arrows on average.
But after all, fighting is not a mathematical calculation. When facing the enemy who is rushing, most of the militiamen will give priority to aiming at the front and the slowest.
Those who rushed to the front were naturally closer. Although there is no story of two children arguing the sun in another world, most of these elite militiamen understand the principle of being close and easy to aim.
And the guy who runs slowly is naturally easy to hit, so there is no need to worry about missing the target.
So half a breath after the crossbow bolts were released, the Ska Chamber of Commerce thug who rushed to the front and wanted to swing his ax to kill Kiel was directly shot in the chest, neck and head by at least ten crossbow bolts. Afterwards, he was driven away by at least one meter by the force of the crossbow.
Another member of the chamber of commerce with poor legs and feet is probably old, and the shoes on his feet may not fit well, so he limped when he rushed forward. This guy tasted the remaining five crossbow bolts. the taste of.
He twitched and fell down vomiting blood from his mouth.
After falling down, he used his last consciousness to blame and looked at his feet. If he had put on another pair of better shoes today, maybe this would not be the case.
"Ah! Be careful! They have crossbows! Hide them all!" The little leader of the thugs screamed strangely, and he was the first to rush to the yard of the nearby farmer's house.
Others also wished their parents would have extra legs, turn around in various postures and rush towards the farmyard where they could cover themselves and avoid crossbow arrows.
Although it's only a half-person-high dirt wall, it's more than enough to defend against crossbow arrows, as long as they can jump in!
But the second wave of crossbow arrows came in an instant.
"Substitute, shoot!"
Knight Crowe waved his hand boredly again, and the militiaman who was supporting in front of his subordinates immediately turned around in a circle, while the militiaman who was shooting from behind took a step forward, and the two changed seats in an instant.
The militiamen who came to the back put the crossbow, which had already been stringed and bolted, on the shoulders of their companions, took a little aim, and under the firing command of the knight, another volley of fifteen people~www.mtlnovel.com~嗖嗖嗖Whoosh, fifteen crossbow arrows shot down the two slowest people again.
One person was even pierced with seven arrows in his left leg, but what was really fatal was that when he fell down after being hit by an arrow in his leg, the crossbow arrow that would have hit his back directly exploded his head.
This is the case without a helmet. Even the most basic leather and wood helmet has a partial possibility of saving this person's life. But how could the Scar Chamber of Commerce prepare these armors for ordinary thugs and fellows of the Chamber of Commerce.
Most of the weapons and armors were brought by these people when they joined.
Either you earn money by working in the chamber of commerce, buy a second-hand weapon from your own chamber of commerce or other caravans, and then upgrade directly from an unarmed farmer or buddy to be able to go out to work, or borrow your weapon Being a thug is a bad guy.
Hey, don't look down on me, after you have a weapon in your hand. No matter where you got it from, at the Scar Chamber of Commerce, you can have more job options, instead of simply moving goods and selling coolies to earn hard money.
After all, those thugs have more money than coolies, but they don't have to work. This is really great for farmers who have just joined the Ska Chamber of Commerce and young people who are crazy about money.
And compared to working as a thug in Dead Leaf Village, working as a thug in the streets controlled by the Ska Chamber of Commerce in Pine Needle Town not only makes more money, but it is also more prosperous and has everything.
After two rounds of crossbow bolts, Kiel waited for a breath, and didn't hear the third crossbow shot, and then got up, ignoring the suspicious dirt on the armor after the blood was stained with mud, and Kiel turned around to look. To the four thugs hiding behind a half-man-high dirt wall.
"Exactly." He smiled under the visor of his helmet.
Quickly ran to these people.
