Chapter 0263: The Farmer and the Snake
The Douqi warriors were silent for a long time, and finally woke up by the screams, all of them were shocked, and then hurriedly began to clean up the battlefield, find out those demons hiding in the shadows and slaughter them.
Now even if the two of them dare not disobey Renard's will, for the time being, it is unknown how long it will last.
After the death of the Great Demon in charge, the rest of the demons became terrified, just like they had brought to the villagers.
Faced with the butcher's knife of the humans, they could only flee in panic, and finally died under the sharp sword.
Half an hour later, the battle had come to an end, and cheers swept through the camp as the wails of the last demons faded.
Several embarrassed-looking mercenaries stood on the haystack and raised their arms and shouted, "We have succeeded, we have driven out the demons, we have successfully defended our homeland." ”
Anyone could tell that the mercenaries who survived had been hiding in haystacks, and even had a few shriveled blades of grass hanging from their heads.
Luckily, the fire didn't ignite the place, otherwise they would have been roasted sweet potatoes.
Seeing that the demons had all been killed, and he didn't know where he came out, the village chief Jasper said in a tone that he had pretended to mock for the rest of his life: "The gods are above, let's take a look at the appearance of these demons fleeing in embarrassment before they die." ”
Completely oblivious to the dust, he laughed loudly at the dead demon and walked to the middle of the camp with vigour, as if he were the hero who had defeated the demon.
The village chief of Jasper said aloud to the two trembling villagers around him: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, the demons are nothing great, haven't they already been killed by us." ”
However, his reassurance didn't seem to have any effect, after all, although these villagers were wooden, they were not stupid.
The village chief Jasper felt very embarrassed, but this embarrassment did not last long, and he immediately noticed Renard and the others not far away.
His fat face stiffened for a moment, and then the cunning and shrewd little eyes rolled slightly.
After a while, he cleared his throat, a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Dear venerable knights, I am very happy to see you again, thank you for helping my village defeat the demons, as the village chief, I am very grateful. ”
Behind his flattering smile was more nervousness: "I don't know what kind of reward your honorable lord wants?"
Renard looked at him sarcastically, feeling that this hypocritical guy was far more terrifying than he imagined: "What kind of reward do you want to give me?"
This question immediately stumped the village chief Jasper, because he was just making polite remarks.
According to his way of thinking, the other party should be very pot-bellied to reject the mentality that he wants to be grateful, and then either leave directly, or leave after drinking, in short, get out of here quickly.
It's a pity that he can't see through people's hearts, what kind of person is Lei Ye, is he the kind of person who gives kindness without asking for anything in return?
Thinking about what happened to Ford, the other party is very sad when he thinks about it.
Renard didn't bother to pay attention to this hypocritical fellow, and turned his head to look at the refugees gathered around, there were originally more than 600 people in the camp, but now there were less than 300 people left after the demons raged.
He sighed silently, and then asked, "Where are you going to go, do you want to stay here and work for this guy next to me, or do you want to go to my territory and live a normal life, or do you have other ideas?"
After speaking, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time: "You have three minutes to think about it, if you are willing to leave, my people can escort you out of this dangerous forest." ”
The dead are gone, and the living will continue to live.
After hearing Lei Ye's inquiry, the villagers gradually stopped trembling and crying, and began to communicate in a low voice.
Seeing this, the village chief Jasper's face became a little ugly, especially when someone expressed his willingness to leave with Renard, his cheeks began to twitch unconsciously, like the copper on his ribs was pulled away.
Eventually, when most of the villagers chose to leave, and the rest of the villagers hesitated, he could no longer sit still.
The village chief Jasper said in a gloomy tone: "Distinguished knights, my villagers and I would prefer to stay and live here, at least here without worry, without worrying about being exploited and plundered by the nobles, let alone starving to death. ”
He obviously didn't say this to Renard, but to the villagers behind him.
After these words were spoken, the villagers' voices gradually weakened, and many people's expressions became entangled, struggling, and panicked.
Eventually, the villagers all bowed their heads and stopped talking, assuming a posture of obeying the arrangements of others, apparently having completely lost themselves and became dolls at the mercy of others.
If there is still a single remaining sense of self in them, it is three words - live.
Renard sneered when he saw this, it didn't hurt him whether these people saved or not, anyway, it was a choice made by the other party under his soberness, he had tried his best to save the other party, and there would be no more guilt in his heart.
However, out of the kindness of people's hearts, he still reminded in a cold voice: "Whatever you choose, the demonic attack will not stop, and I can tell you that sooner or later peace will leave us, and the demonic disaster is about to come." ”
After he said this, the expressions of many villagers became firm again: "We are willing to leave with you, our lives are saved by you, whether it is life or death, poverty or wealth in the future, we will admit it." ”
Renard looked at the person who spoke in some surprise when he heard this, it was a man with five big and three thick, and his face was full of the simple appearance of the villagers.
However, Lei Ye knew that under this simple appearance, there was a completely treacherous face.
The other party's words just now were to express gratitude to him, but to announce to him vaguely: We will be our own people in the future, you can be kind to us.
Seeing this scene, the village chief Jasper could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart, and directly stood up and said sharply: "Your Excellency Renard, please don't be alarmist. ”
He looked around at the villagers, his eyes revealing a strong sense of warning, and because of the long-term accumulation, the villagers who were originally eager to try lowered their heads again.
Judging from the current situation, this is completely a contest between him and Lei Ye, and these villagers are just appendages to the success of the contest.
Lei Ye originally didn't care much about the lives of these people, but if you dare to provoke Lao Tzu, then Lei Ye can't let you go.
People respect me for two battles, and I respect people for three feet.
Renard's current life motto is so domineering, do you want to challenge authority and bottom line?
Well, not only will I pack up and take away all the things you value, but I'll also want your life.
