Chapter 2 Blood and Fire Flow

That afternoon, the robbers who had gathered in the mountains finally sent someone to get food. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The knight rode a thin black horse, wearing broken and deformed black armor, and was not much stronger than a horse, and even if he had received food supplies from the village recently, the food on the mountain was not good, and his unfocused eyes showed a kind of dazed and helpless, and he was in a state of extreme mental discouragement, similar to the walking dead.

According to my instructions in advance, the village chief of Mura asked for a meeting with the leader of the bandit group on the grounds of the difficulty of transporting food, and although the knight was impatient, he finally agreed to the request under the careful explanation of the village chief of Mura.

So the chief of the village of Mura, accompanied by a hunter, went up to Mount Dora with the knights.

In the evening, the village chief of Mla and Orion returned with exhaustion and purple scars on their faces, and it seemed that the negotiation was not pleasant.

"Good work." I said lightly to the two of them.

"It's worth it, for the sake of our villagers, what is this pain and injury?" But the village chief of Mula said excitedly, "The bandit leader is finally willing to agree to a two-day grace period!" "What a respectable old man, at least more conscious than a certain old man! I thought to myself.

I solemnly asked the hunter named Rhea, "Do you see it all clearly?" ”

"I can see it all!" Rhea replied affirmatively.

"Okay." I nodded, I was going to use Rhea, the best hunter in the village of Madonna, to understand the arrangement of this rogue cavalry by virtue of his familiarity with the mountains and forests and the keen observation of wild beasts.

Then, I said to the village chief, "Tell all the villagers to rest well tonight and act tomorrow night!" ”

It was a starless and moonless night, the night sky was dark, the surrounding environment was silent, no human voices could be heard, the village was also a black light and black fire, and the surrounding space was tightly wrapped in this thick darkness.

I stood on the hillside to the left of the entrance to the village, the cold mountain breeze blowing, but it could not dispel my fierce emotions and burning temperature.

I'm about to command the first battle in my life! Will this be the starting point of my war career? Or is it the end of everything? Either way, I'm about to plunge a village that has always been peaceful and peaceful into a bloody war!

-- Is this war really inevitable? Is there really no way to resolve it peacefully? Or is it deliberately avoiding any peaceful solution for the sake of an unspeakable secret in my heart? So I'd rather go to war than peace?

-- Is it right to start a brutal war and provoke unprovoked killings for the sake of selfish reasons? Do I have the right to deprive the mountain village of its tranquility and the lives of its villagers? For what could I ask so many people to play this game of death with me?

――After the end of this war, will I bring peace to the mountain village, or will I be filled with endless sorrow? And also...... Mr. Vitan, why did you never stop my decision? Is it agreement or helplessness? Teacher Vitan, this peculiar painter, but with greater strength than any magician I knew, was standing on another hillside silently carrying out my arrangement...... He never taught me what to do and what not to do, and he never interfered in my life as a teacher, but he saved me when I was in the most critical situation...... All this, for what?

- No matter! I can't go back, and I don't want to! Even though I am cursed by the gods and reviled by the world, I will go on like thisβ€”on the path of the king's blood! Anyway, my hands are already stained with blood, so why not get even more blood?! Today, I will single-handedly create death, and in the future, I will create more deaths...... I will swing the bloody blade in my hand to sweep away all obstacles in my path, stain my crown with endless blood, and build my throne with countless lives! Libinglan, I love! Can you understand what I'm doing today? ……

Will it be successful? It will definitely work! During the long wait, I noticed that my palms were sweating.

Finally, a red fire flashed on the top of Dora Hill in front of him, breaking the black monopoly at once.

"It worked!" I breathed a sigh of relief, and a raid party of nearly a hundred hunters from the villagers who were skilled in martial arts, led by Rhea, finally succeeded in burning down the enemy's tent.

At this time, the wind grew and the fire continued to spread, lighting up the sky.

As the burned area grew larger and larger, a panicked cavalry galloped down from the mountain forest. However, when they reached the vicinity of the mountainside, some of the cavalry were stopped by the tripping ropes that had been set up in advance, and they fell off their horses.

At this time, the cavalry descending to the foot of the hill, led by a tall knight, began to wade across the river in anger in an attempt to charge the entrance of the village.

When half of the cavalry rushed across the riverbank, I let out a terrible sentry.

As soon as the whistle sounded, several rockets fell into the middle of the river, and the surface of the river immediately turned into a sea of fire, cutting the cavalry in half at once, and the nearly 100 cavalrymen who entered the center of the river let out a painful wail in the raging fire -- because I had sent people to place dozens of wooden barrels containing futong oil in the upper reaches of the river, and put ropes on both banks to make them float on the river.

At this time, I hurried down the hill, and while throwing out the word "unnamed", I made another long whistle.

At the sound of my long whistle, nearly a thousand young and strong villagers who had been lying on the ground at the entrance to the village stood up together, put their wooden shields in front of them, inserted them into the ground, and connected them into a thick protective wall, and then put the sharpened long wooden poles on the wooden shields, blocking the cavalry that had flowed through the river, and hundreds of cavalry were pierced under the sharp wood like spears. The pikemen formation, which had been rehearsed countless times, finally had an amazing effect.

However, the pikemen formed by the villagers could not completely stop the offensive of all the cavalry, and some of the cavalry who rushed past the pikemen entered the village, but on the way, they were attacked by countless rolling logs, stones, and fire arrows from the condescending fire of the hunters rolling down the hillside, and turned into a terrible cry of death.

Almost at the same time, a rain of arrows from both sides of the hill fell on the cavalry on the opposite bank, mixed with a huge fireball from the right hillside, and even the cavalry who failed to cross the river could not escape the bad luck, and the casualties were a mess!

By this time I had rushed into the midst of the cavalry that had crossed the shore, and had struck my way from the flank to the center.

By the time I had blended into the enemy's ranks, the pikemen of the villagers had changed their defensive position, approaching the cavalry in front of me step by step with shield guns, and the cavalry, which had already fallen into despair and confusion because of the sharp spears in front and the fire in the back, seemed even more frenzied.

In the midst of the enemy formation, I waved "Weiming", drove a fierce sword wind, and slashed the cavalry and horses and men like cutting watermelons. One man and one sword almost plunged the cavalry into the abyss of despair.

The red firelight reflected my cheeks and eyes as bright red as blood, a long hair fluttered wildly in the gale, and the "unnamed" in my hand glowed with a swarthy cold light, and the whole image looked both sharp and murderous and extremely weird!

All the approaching cavalry were intimidated by my cold impossibility, and pulled their horses around me, looking at me in fear.

At this time, I was in a strange state, as if everything in front of me was frozen and frozen at this moment, a powerful force poured into my body from the meridians of my arm along the "unnamed", and I clearly felt the surging energy running in the veins of my whole body, as if it was blending with my blood...... Slowly, this mysterious energy actually gathered in my brain, and countless thoughts and endless time and space flashed in my mind, and finally turned into a kind of longing for a child, gently surrounding me......

This is the Sword Soul! It is the idea of "unnamed" confession of the Lord! I have finally received the approval of this living divine sword, and passed on the power sealed in the sword by the previous sword master to me in a wonderful spiritual connection!

I suddenly felt a strong tingling in my head, and all visions disappeared in this heart-wrenching pain, and my mind returned to my own battlefield.

With the movement of my mind, the original dark sword body of the "unnamed" in my hand turned red, and with a firelight like fire, the surrounding air turned into a scorching air current, and with a wave of my hand, the knight in front of me who was still stunned was actually cut off half of his head by the sword qi in the air, and the corpse that lost his life was burned more than once!

Seeing this terrifying scene, the surrounding cavalry could no longer resist their horses and gallop wildly, while shouting in fear: "Death! "Asura!" "Devil!" And collided with the cavalry behind who couldn't figure out the situation, making the chaos even more confusing.

A tall knight with a silver spear shouted loudly in an attempt to stop the cavalry's madness, but knowing that it was futile to clear the scattered men and horses, the prancing horse came before me.

The man was a burly man, riding on a brown horse that accentuated his mountain-like momentum, and although the cyan armor on his body was no longer complete, the eyes exposed in the deformed helmet showed an unconcealable fatigue and haggardness, but it did not detract from his heroic spirit.

"I, Dichitino, Captain of the Kingdom of Dotir, who are you!" There was a slight trilling in the majestic voice, but Dichitino, who was sitting condescendingly on horseback, could not have a condescending momentum.

"Alexander St. Karen Dominis, nobody!" A sneer tugged at the corner of my mouth, and I said flatly, "Surrender!" Your defeat is a foregone conclusion, so why make unnecessary sacrifices? ”

Dichitino groaned for a moment and said, "I can promise to surrender, but I want a fair fight with you!" After my death, I hope you will be kind to my subordinates, they are all forced...... I will bear the misfortune caused to the villagers! Xiao Suo's words were filled with a kind of sadness of the hero's end.

I am not a man who prides myself on personal heroism, and I have little interest in this so-called one-on-one duel, and in this case Dictieno is not in a position to negotiate with me. But I still nodded.

Upon receiving my reply, Dichtino nodded gratefully, then raised his spear in his hand and shouted:

"Brothers! The war is over! ”

I also raised my left hand and let the cold voice spread around: "Villagers, stop! We've won! ”

A fierce battle came to an abrupt end, and all those fighting on both sides stopped moving, and everyone looked at us with blank or excited eyes. All around was silent, except for the roar of the fire in the evening breeze, and the air was filled with the weight of the pressure on me and Dichtino.

"Are you a soldier?" Dickitano raised his spear in front of him, then asked.

I gently stretched the "unnamed" downward, shook my head coldly, and replied: "I am not a soldier, this is the first time I have commanded a battle. ”

"Good! Alexander St. Karen Dominis! Your name will ring throughout the earth! I never imagined that in my last life, I would have the privilege of witnessing the birth of a world-famous general! Let my blood bear witness to your glory! ”

With that, Dichteno moved his steed, swung his spear, and flashed a few silver lights to slash at the dead end on my left.

The corners of my mouth once again raised a shallow smile, with my left foot as the fulcrum to draw a semicircle and instantly turn around and change position, the long sword easily attached to the spear, turned to the side of Diqi Tieno, and then the body jumped, like a weightless light wind whirling into the air, flying on Diqi Tino's head at once, the "unnamed" in his hand immediately quickly drew an oblique "zhi", and finally landed, stood, and freeze.

A series of movements are light and delicate, but extremely graceful and dazzling, and they are presented in the softest and most rigid.

The armor on Dickitano's body suddenly fell off like snowflakes, and the silver spear split into nine sections in an instant.

Dickitano, who showed his whole rough face, could only look at me in distraction and determination.

After a long time, Dichtino let out a long sigh and said in a lonely voice: "Alexander, you have won!" Why don't you kill me? ”

"If you feel that you have no attachment to life, I can fulfill you. If you think there is still a hint of meaning in survival, then I have bought your life! "I stood with my sword in my hand, looking both handsome and solemn in the light of the wind and fire.

Dickitano tilted his head and thought for a moment, then with a determined look on his face, he quickly rolled off his horse, knelt down in front of me, and said firmly: "I will hand over my life to you!" I, Dichtinow, swear to God that I will follow Lord Alexander all the days of my life until the last breath of my life! ”

All the cavalry under Diqi Tino knelt down one after another, and even all the villagers fell to the ground as if they were infected, and their majestic voices rose and fell: "Follow your lordship, unswerving!" ”

My image of being invincible and fearless has been deeply rooted in the hearts of all people, and it has also strengthened their determination to follow in the footsteps of the strong. In this war, both sides paid a lot of costs, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Dotir, more than 2,000, was sharply reduced to 1,300, and under my strict deployment, the villagers of Medonna also suffered more than 300 casualties, but it also fulfilled my promise to exchange war for peace and tranquility.

After the war, there were still many problems to be dealt with, the first of which was to extinguish the wildfires, and half of the mountains and forests were burned down by this fire, but this problem was solved by Mr. Vitan.

Mr. Vitan used a large water magic to make a heavy rain fall on Dora Mountain, extinguishing a large area of wildfire, and also used a strange magic array to cast a magical light rebirth magic, so that the burned mountain forest began to regenerate. The magical strength embodied by Mr. Vitan is a bit unbelievable and sensational! I don't know what level of magician has this kind of strength, and if I did, I would be even more surprised.

In addition, there is the question of the treatment of the wounded, the burial of the dead, and the placement of the returned cavalry...... It was already noon the next day that this large number of problems had been dealt with.

While sipping a "lover's kiss" leisurely, I said to the people gathered at the village chief's house for a meeting: "There are more than 1,000 people in the village at once, and it may cause a shortage of food. ”

"Does Alex have a solution?" The village chief of Mla hurriedly asked.

"There is a solution, and it is close at hand." I smiled faintly and stared at the tea set in my hand. Everyone followed my gaze to the teacup in my hand, but they were at a loss.

"The answer lies in 'Lover's Tears'!" I said. But everyone hasn't understood it yet.

"Lord Alex, then speak quickly! What 'Lover's Tears'? The straightforward Dichtino asked eagerly. Because the problem can be said to be caused by them. Their cavalry was actually a direct subordinate unit of Elmit III, who fled after the Battle of Wangya, and after a long journey, they wanted to return to their homeland in the royal capital, but received news that the kingdom had been divided, that the imperial capital had been taken over by the Grand Duke Shaduff, and that all the soldiers who had fled had been killed as deserters, and that even their families would be punished for the crime of sitting together. In order to save their lives and protect their families, this group of cavalry did not dare to enter the royal capital, and had no choice but to wander around, living by looting, and their names were also cancelled in the military register as war dead. Eventually, they came to this remote mountain village on the border of the Kingdom of Dotir.

I put down my teacup, stood up and looked out the window, and said, "This 'Lover's Kiss' is the best of tea, and the quality is better than that of ordinary court tribute, as long as we ship it to Hennes, it will definitely sell for a good price!" At that time, we will not only be able to buy the much-needed food, but also all kinds of weapons and armor we need, and even horses, and our village's combat power and defense will be further strengthened. As long as they survived this period of time, the cavalry helped to pioneer and farm while training, and there was no need to buy food in the future. ”

"I can't imagine how valuable this kind of tea we usually drink at home is!" Rhea said happily. It was this excellent hunter who played a key role in this war. Others also had a glint of excitement in their eyes.

Mla pondered for a moment, but said, "This is a good solution, but there is a problem - how to bypass the border guards of the Kingdom of Dotir and the Pharatis Empire?" These words made the originally excited crowd feel at a low point.

"It's not a problem," I said leisurely, "and now the kingdom of Dotir's borders are in vain because of the civil war. And Ferratis, for its part, is forbidden to enter Haynes for business. Most importantly, I know that there is a mountain road that bypasses the border of the two countries to reach Haines, which is a bit troublesome, but absolutely safe, and this is the route we have followed to get here. As long as our people change into business travel attire, there is no need to worry. ”

Then I elaborated on the route from Henes through the border of the Shelureista Union and then around to the border of the Kingdom of Dotir.

"As for the issue of transporting weapons, since the empire and the alliance still maintain diplomatic relations, especially the commercial contacts between Henes and the alliance are quite frequent, as long as you pretend to be the caravan of the alliance, hide the purchased weapons under the grain, and properly take care of the city guards of Henes, plus on the surface, it is the route of the alliance, there will be no problem." I continued.

When I finished speaking, Dichtino hugged him excitedly and said, "Lord Alex, you are not only a natural warrior, but also a natural businessman!" If this kind of evaluation had been made in the mouth of the person who had been called my father, it would never have appeared.

I smiled wryly and broke away from Dichitino, and then discussed with the others about strengthening the village's defenses and other related issues.

Finally, I said, "I'll stay here for two months, and when everything is ready, I'll continue our unfinished journey with Mr. Vitan." ”

After trying their best to keep me, they couldn't shake my decision to leave, and they all looked sad.

I waved my hand and said with a smile, "I'll still be back!" Five years if it's slow, three years if it's fast. When I returned to this village again, it was the time when the situation on the Holy Lun Continent changed dramatically! Therefore, everyone must train seriously, strengthen their combat skills, and usher in a great new era that belongs to us with me! ”
