Chapter 2: The First Robbery (2)
It wasn't until Qi Tianci's shouting woke up the villagers who had been resting in this small village that these two dozen or so guards could react and rush back to their house in a panic to get weapons.
Although it is still within the Vault Dweller's Hill's sphere of influence, it is already infinitely close to the Orc's territory in the border area of the Vault Dweller's Hill. The orcs usually disdain the exiles of the Vault Dweller's Hill, after all, the Vault Dweller's Hill has no deep hatred with either the orcs or the barbarian empire, but plays a scavenger role in the infinite war between the two, because the Vault Dweller's Hill is a buffer zone after all, blocking the various forces of humans and other races in the south, so that the barbarians and orcs can concentrate on the duel without external influences.
Before this conflict, neither the Barbarian Empire nor the Orc Clans had ever thought of using their sloppy neighbors to the south to attack each other. Because both races share a deep sense of honor, and this sense of honor makes them resolutely not allow outsiders to solve their old enemies, even if they can't help them at all.
However, when the remarkable Simos went south with the elite beast slayer army among the elite to support the poor little kingdom that had been abandoned by his own suzerainty and besieged by aliens, the butterfly effect was triggered. First of all, the long-term disappearance of the outstanding Simos made the strength of the barbarian empire decrease sharply, so that the balance of strength gradually tilted towards the orc clan tribe, and this conversion of strength made some orc clans who had been suppressed by the barbarians for a long time suddenly have the idea of not giving up until the barbarian clan is completely wiped out. However, the clan tribes dominated by the War Sword Saint are strongly opposed to trampling on their honor and taking advantage of the barbarian empire to rob them, so the main battle faction in the orc tribe wants to achieve the goal but it has become an impossible task, as time passes, these main battle parties have not achieved an advantage in the war against the barbarian empire for a long time, and finally gradually turned their attention to their southern neighbor.
But like the orc clan tribal alliance that split into two factions, the exiles of this Vault Dweller's Hill are not monolithic. After receiving a request for help from the orcs, one of the wise men thought that as long as they joined the war, then no matter which side they helped, there would be no good results, after all, once the two races solved each other, then the next target would only be their Vault Dweller's Hill. However, the high reward and promise of the orcs that they would never encroach on the land of the Exile Hill made the vast majority of the exiles get carried away, and there were a few who only remained neutral, and in the eyes of these neutrals, the greatest benefit was when the two sides continued to win them over, and when they obtained the greatest benefits.
Eventually, after a series of "peace" talks (in fact, a large-scale infighting, in which the main fighters defeated and absorbed those who advocated non-participation in order to expand their own strength), the main battle faction finally gained the upper hand and decided to accept the invitation of the orc clan to go north to attack the enemy wall. And the price of this matter is that the exiles of the Vault Dweller's Hill were killed before they fought, and a full 100,000 people died because of this "peace" negotiation, and some of the gathering points that were handed over to the orc territory were mercilessly abandoned by them, so that some previously unknown small forces took the opportunity to invade these abandoned areas and became the emperors of the soil one by one, and this is how these twenty or so bandits and robbers rose.
To say that these two dozen bandits and robbers cameo guards, they are really only a little stronger than those cowardly villagers, and the reason why they are stronger is because they are equipped with weapons left over from the big forces and their courage to be afraid of heaven and earth.
Indeed, after all, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of death, and although these bandits and robbers are far from being dead, they are absolutely hard bones for these villagers.
By the time the danger was perceived, it was already a little late. Although the terrain of this village was not conducive to the play of cavalry, before a dozen arrows of soldiers and horses were already attacking a few bandits and robbers in a daze, and a few seconds later, three or four bandits and robbers were shot through by the arrows. This made the remaining cameo guards eager to lend them another pair of legs to let them flee for their lives, and at this time, except for a few bandits and robbers who entered the house to get weapons, the others scattered and fled. There were those on horseback, and those on foot, all fled here as fast as they could in their lives, and in their opinion, they would just be able to do their best here, and it would be impossible for them to lose their lives and fight with so many cavalrymen.
The bandits and robbers who chose to stay here did not expect that the partners who had kept saying that they were brothers of life and death had betrayed them and fled, and this huge change had caused them a huge blow, and they put down their weapons in despair before Qi Tianci's cavalry arrived.
"That's it?" Even if Qi Tianci urged the war horse to cut down the nearest bandit and robber as fast as possible, he had to give up the attack because the other party gave up resistance. After tying up these bandits and robbers, Qi Tianci circled around the village with some depression. "It's really boring, and he said that he wanted to test the strength of these little cubs, but he didn't expect them to surrender after just shooting a few arrows. "Don't kill those who surrender, even the informal, Qi Tianci abides by this creed, so when he has no use of force, Qi Tianci has only a speechless person to go to the grassland where these bandits and robbers raised livestock that he discovered before.
Unbeknownst to him, just as he was about to leave the village, a pair of exile soldiers of about fifty men arrived here.
It was a complete accident to say why they were here, as one of the villagers in this small village was a relative of the leader of the exile soldier squad. After the villagers quietly sent people to ask him for help, the leader also took advantage of the situation to break away from his own force and took with him more than fifty younger brothers, intending to kill the bandits and robbers who did not open their eyes and replace them himself. Anyway, it seemed to them that the emperor took turns, so why couldn't it be their turn?
Coincidentally, just as the Guards were surrounding the bandits' quarters to clean up the battlefield, a Guards who were letting off the wind outside spotted a group of ill-earned exiles outside the village. The exiles were apparently unaware of what was happening in the village.
