32. Unlucky guy
"Sizzle~", when Nalco wanted to raise Xius's weakly hanging left hand, as he expected, Xius's face changed drastically, and he involuntarily took a cool breath. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Does it hurt?" Nalco's face was slightly heavy, but instead of lowering Xius's arm, he tried to move it gently from several other angles.
Beads of sweat the size of a bean ran down the corners of Xiusi's forehead, and he endured the sharp pain, squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "Pain, is your arm broken?"
Ram looked nervous when he heard this, he gave up swinging his sword to vent, and immediately leaned over.
Nalco pursed his lips, he could see that he was also a little nervous, he looked into the eyes of Huus and said, "Bear with me, I'm going to try it, maybe, it's not that serious!"
Hughes took a deep breath and nodded at Nalco. At this moment, his heart was full of hope, and before, when he couldn't feel his left arm, he was about to despair -- what hope and future could a swordsman who had lost his left hand have!
However, while Theseus was preparing for the result, Nalco stopped moving his arm, and he even gently lowered his left hand and began to shake his head and move his body.
Ram was surprised, tilting his head to watch Nalco's near-performative move, and Theseus's attention was also drawn.
"What are you doing...... Ah~", Hugh, who was about to ask Nalco, suddenly let out a short scream, startling Ram. He hurriedly looked back at Hughes, only to find that his left hand, which had been hanging down, was in Nalco's hand.
"Your Excellency?!" Ram exclaimed in surprise. He looked at Xiusi's grinning expression very puzzled, although he would not understand that Master Nalco was bullying Young Master Xius, but such an impolite behavior still made him worry for a while.
Ram muttered in his heart: This is the last time, and this is the second time to be rude.
At this time, Nalco suddenly let go of the hand that was holding Hus, and Xius's left arm suddenly fell down, but the strange thing is that Xiusi's left hand, which was originally unconscious, suddenly stopped in mid-air!
"Hey~?" The voice that Xius was about to scream suddenly turned and rose upward, and his eyes that were about to be closed in fright opened again, and widened, staring at his arm that he thought he had lost waving freely in the air, completely without the unbearable pain that he couldn't move before, and he froze for a while, as if he couldn't believe it.
By this time, Ram had already understood what Master Nalco was doing, and he smiled.
Nalko's face was also slightly happy, and he looked at Xius, who was still moving his arms, and nodded, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
It was a real relief. You must know that before, when he made a mistake in judgment and couldn't save him, and when he saw that his young master was actually hacked away, he wanted to kill himself for a while! If he hadn't thought of other possibilities in the blink of an eye, he would definitely have gone crazy, even if he fought with the murderer to the end!
But who knows, that guy actually turned over and ran, which made him have nowhere to vent his anger, just faded in shock, and he immediately thought of the strange situation before, Xius was not split in half, but was split into the air.
There's definitely something wrong with that!
The person who can catch his full strength is at least at the same level as himself. And Nalco himself used all his sword to split the person in half from head to toe, and that was no problem at all.
What does this mean? This shows that although Xiusi was hit by the sword, there was definitely some treasure on his body to block the attack, otherwise, if he attacked the sharp long sword with flesh and blood, even if the other party was in a hurry to flee and the sword was weak, at least his arm would definitely be cut off.
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen, and Nalco, who was more sober, immediately thought of other possibilities -- it was not broken, but he could not move, and he was extremely painful, which should be a sign of dislocation.
So Nalco immediately tried a few times, and as he expected, the injury on Young Master Xius's arm was indeed dislocated. This is very easy to do, the soft loss of dislocation is too ordinary for a military man. Even if you can't hold your hand for a while during sparring, it is possible to dislocate your partner. Nalco Water has extensive experience in treating such injuries.
"Is this a dislocation?" asked Nalco, delighted.
Nalco nodded, he glanced at Xiusi's left arm, noticed the quaint arm guard on it, and explained: "Yes, this kind of injury is very common in giant collisions, and it is a minor problem in the army, as long as you pay attention to protecting the same part and not be injured multiple times, it will not affect your future cultivation at all." β
Nalco also wanted to ask about the arm guards. But when he thought that it was a treasure who carried a powerful blow from a sixth-level swordsman, but didn't even leave a white mark, he finally chose to be silent.
With the background of the Horton family, although there will not be many such things, there must be them. He just didn't know that the adults had given such a treasure to his fourteen-year-old son.
It is probably not a good thing for a child to hold something too precious and not have an adult of sufficient weight to watch it.
It's useless to think too much, Nalco also understands that for the news of the superiors, it is best to only know what should be known, and give up the exploration of other strange things, otherwise, most of them will get into trouble. Moreover, with the superb wisdom of the Viscount, since he dared to hand over such high-end goods as magical equipment to his son, it means that he has confidence in Xius.
The happy Xiusi didn't know that his guards had already seen the strangeness of the arm guards from the scene just now, and regarded them as an extremely rare magic treasure.
"Let's go and see what's going on, we should have caught a few unlucky guys. Nalco headed down first.
Before this, the three of them hadn't even thought about the battle below. This is not Leng Mo, but understands the reason for the trade-off.
Thirty-eight villagers with steel forks faced six wounded thieves, and if they couldn't get caught up, even if they rushed to it, it would be in vain. And as long as the peasants can entangle each other and prevent them from escaping, and when the three men who have attacked the mound have succeeded, they will surely be able to kill the thieves. Otherwise, they only have three powerful men, how can they stop all eight thieves?
Therefore, sacrificing some people to obtain the greatest benefit is the inevitable choice of the superiors, and even as long as they have brains, they will choose this way.
Homicide, robbery, rape...... The thieves who have done all the bad things are not good at stubble! If a few of them were to be let go just because they took pity on these dozens of peasants, and when the thieves came back to their strength, that kind of revenge would be more than the death of a few villagers!
This truth, although emotionally difficult to accept, is absolutely correct. On the way out, Nalco had already explained it to Hus, who agreed and finally made the right choice.
Sure enough, when they reached the boulder below, the three of them saw that the farmers had stuck the five thieves on the ground with their steel forks, and they could not move at all, only groaning in pain.
Xius laughed and congratulated Charles with excitement on his face: "Congratulations, you have done a great job!"
"Are you all hurt, are the thieves up there dead?" said Charles, who saw the three adults coming, and hurriedly took two steps to greet them, squinting and smiling.
"Uh...", Huston felt a little embarrassed, although his side was the strongest, but the result of the battle was obviously not as good as the farmers, and he actually let the two live mouths go. Thinking of this, he was also a little worried. I was just thinking about my own hands before, but I didn't think about how much harm it would cause to Shire Village if I ran away from the two people.
Ram's face was not very good-looking, but Nalco still had a very calm expression, he nodded to Charles and the farmers and said, "Two, they all ran away, I'm sorry, that guy is a swordsman who is about to break through to the seventh level, a little more powerful than me, we can only drive him away, but we can't kill him." β
Charles's smile froze on his face, and he looked at Nalko's unmiscolored face in disbelief, and for a moment he froze, not knowing what to say. It's just that he clearly felt that the fear in his heart rose one after another, beating his heart violently. The feeling of pressure was so intense that he could barely breathe.
The farmers behind him stood up. The people who reacted quickly were uneasy, and the others were confused, they didn't understand the power of a seventh-level swordsman, they just heard someone running away and came to listen to the news. And the wiser ones, all pale, instantly thought of the strong retribution they might suffer in the future.
In the blink of an eye, because of the herd nature, the farmers gathered more and more, and everyone's curiosity was attracted to surround the three of them in the middle. If you don't understand, you'll think that so many people are trying to lay siege to the three of them.
Hughes scanned the faces of many people, the eyes of many people, and gradually he heard the disturbing news circling through the crowd, and saw the frightened look in the eyes of many farmers. His heart suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and an indescribable boredom brewed in his chest. Even his own face turned pale, and he suddenly wished to be able to hang his head and no longer see any disappointed expressions and gazes.
But he couldn't!
As the heir to a noble viscount, as a nobleman, he must be responsible for whatever he does, thanks to the 600 years of glory of the Horton family!
As a swordsman, he couldn't do that. Hanging your head is not recognizing yourself, that is, retreating, and not having self-confidence, which is also the most fatal injury on the road of a swordsman!
Theseus, with the dual status of a nobleman and a swordsman, no matter which one he did, he was not allowed to lower his head that was always high!
"It's just two thieves who escaped, I always have a way to clean them up, yes, I can do it. "Hughes's brain was running at high speed at this moment. While cheering himself up, he thought of all possible ways to help with the aftermath. He knew how much power he had, and it was definitely not something that two little thieves could deal with. So, this time, he hasn't completely failed yet!
In the blink of an eye, Hughes had an idea that he thought was brilliant!
"Nalco?" said Theseus in a whisper by the name of his guard, and Nalko tilted his head slightly, signaling that he had heard.
"I think those two guys can't escape, we can send someone back and tell my father that if a small group of swordsmen comes out of his swordsman regiment, those two thieves will die. These villagers won't have to worry about anything!" Theseus suppressed his excitement and poured his thoughts out with great speed in a very fast tone, and then eagerly awaited Nalde's affirmative reply.
But Hughes didn't see it, and a wry smile appeared on Nalko's face after hearing this.
Mobilize the army? That's a big joke!
The military system of the Allianz Kingdom is very strict, from top to bottom, one ring after another, strictly controlling the officers and the army. Any transfer, according to the system, not only needs to meet certain conditions, but also needs to be approved by the immediate governor, and at the same time, it must also notify the local noble chief for filing.
If a commander moves troops at will without going through procedure, it is a very serious mistake under military law and will be prosecuted for a felony afterwards. Usually it is a direct deprivation of command, followed by a demotion. In the most serious cases, they will even be stripped of their nobility and then imprisoned.
Therefore, although it is now a time of peace, and the implementation of this system is not to the strictest degree, as long as someone complains, the military department and the noble council will definitely react. Even if it is just a ten-person squad, it will inevitably be warned and reprimanded from the military department!
The dignified Viscount of the Kingdom, the head of the First Swordsman Regiment of the Holy War Province, a member of the command department, a major general, if he is scolded by a small clerk from the military department, it is really a shame!
Nalco sighed, this is the problem of his young age, although he is a genius in cultivation, after all, he does not have a deep understanding of human feelings, and he only remembers the superficial provisions of the legal rules, and cannot recognize the deeper harm from them. So, I came up with such a naΓ―ve idea.
However, things always have to be solved, and although it is impossible for Nalco to use the young master's method to make trouble for Lord Viscount, it does not mean that he is not capable of solving this matter himself.
In the final analysis, with Nalco being Viscount Gael's confidant, as long as he moves his mouth, there will be a large group of people rushing to help him deal with the aftermath, and he can't use the power of the Viscount at all.
Nalco suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed them into the air, and the buzz in the crowd suddenly stopped, and everyone looked eagerly at the lord of the noble family, expecting to hear from him the solution to the fundamental problem.
"You can rest assured, since I promised Old Charles to take over this matter, I won't just leave it at that, don't worry about the two thieves who ran away, someone else will clean them up, and it will never be possible to harass your village again. Nalco said calmly, "Charles, come here." β
"What do you have to say?" asked Charles, smiling and respectful. Hearing that there was a solution to the matter, of course he didn't have to be bitter, and his heart was completely settled. He knew from his grandfather that Lord Nalco had always kept his promises and was a true warrior.
Nalco pulled out a black piece of iron, about the size of half a palm, from his bosom and handed it to Charles's hand.
"You take this thing, go to Shining City, let the soldiers guarding the city gate lead you to see Captain Bart, and after seeing it, tell him the whole thing this time, he knows how to deal with it, and ensure that your Xia Er Village is okay, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Charles looked excited, clutching the iron card tightly in his palm, and nodded repeatedly.
A smile appeared on Nalko's face, this grandson of his old friend Old Charles was still very smart, not at all as clumsy and timid as the rest of the farmers, it seemed that Old Charles had really put in the effort to train him.
