Chapter 74: The Invisible Battlefield (5)
Irelia's village is located on the eastern border of the Tuscan territory, about two or three days from the Tuscan Fort. There are about 20 families in the whole village www.biquge.info more than 100 people, most of whom make a living by farming and herding sheep.
Iverson and his party galloped on tall horses, and the villagers had long been watching them. So when Iverson and his party came to the entrance of the village, the village chief was already waiting at the entrance of the village with some people.
The head of the village was an old man who looked to be at least eighty or ninety years old, and his face was wrinkled as if it had been carved into flesh. His body was very thin, and if it weren't for the fact that he had a branch in his hand as a crutch, it really made people worry about whether he would be able to stand firmly.
The village chief shouted in a deep accent of vicissitudes: "Santos has seen the noble lord, I wish the noble lord good health." ”
Iverson glanced at the grime-stained village chief, frowning in disgust and winking behind him.
Jackman understood, so he said: "Without further ado, our young master is hungry, you hurry up and go to prepare drinks and a place to rest." Go and go."
Without waiting for the village chief of Santos to agree, Iverson and the others rushed into the village with a swagger as soon as they urged the horses. The crowd crowded at the entrance of the village was startled, and hurriedly dodged with a roll.
Iverson glanced around, and there were thatched huts everywhere, the best of which were made of wood. So I didn't plan to sit in the house, so I randomly found a place that felt spacious and dismounted.
Jackman, who was behind him, took the lead and shouted for Iverson: "What are you untouchables looking at, why don't you hurry up and prepare the tables and chairs for our young master!" Grind and chirp and wait for the whip! After speaking, he shook the whip in his hand.
As soon as the villagers saw that the noble lord had spoken, they hurriedly arranged obediently. In a few moments, the seats and benches were fully arranged.
However, Iverson's mood did not improve at all, but became more and more angry. A few pieces of black bread as hard as a stone, a large chunk of black cured meat, and a few potatoes that were almost charred. These black things, this is the food that the villagers provide for him.
Iverson kicked the table over, and black bread and potatoes rolled over on the floor.
"Damn it! What is it! This is your attitude towards the nobility! ”
Seeing Iverson's anger, the village chief of Santos immediately led the villagers to their knees and begged for mercy: "Noble lord, it's not that we are neglecting, it's... There's really nothing to eat in the village! ”
"Bastard!" Jackman shouted angrily, and the whip in his hand slammed into the head of Santos Village.
"Oops!" Santos suddenly received the whip, shivering in pain, and fell to the ground. But Jackman didn't give up, whipping back and forth on Santos's weak body, forcing Santos to keep wailing on the ground.
In just a few moments, dozens of whips came down. Poor Santos was so old that he was lying on the ground with whip marks all over his body. Despite this, the other villagers did not dare to say a word of dissatisfaction, and closed their eyes and did not dare to look at Iverson, for fear of being treated in the same way.
"Something underdrawn! Bah! Jackman spat heavily, then turned back to Iverson and smiled: "Young master, when I entered the village just now, I heard the sound of sheep, which must be not far away." Wait a minute, I'll slaughter you some! ”
"Then don't go yet!" Iverson said angrily: "This hell place, there's nothing!" Hurry up, let's get out of here! ”
"Yes! Be! Master! Jackman said yes and took one of the guards and went to slaughter the sheep.
Iverson sat in his chair and looked at the silent group of villagers in front of him, feeling bored for a while. Glancing at the village chief who was lying on the ground and moaning weakly, he waved his hand irritably and said, "Drag this old thing away for me!" ”
"Yes!" One of the guards grabbed the village chief and dragged him straight into the distance. The village chief's two legs left two marks on the ground, and the mottled blood stains were faintly visible.
"I ask you! Have you seen any outsiders these days? ”
The villagers were suddenly asked, and they couldn't help but feel nervous, and after secretly glancing at each other, a woman led by them said in a trembling voice: "No... Haven't seen it. ”
It's not that they want to deceive the lord, but this group of villagers is afraid of Iverson, so they have the idea that more is better than less, so they say this. They thought that if they said so, Iverson would be able to spare them and leave the village.
However, after all, they are just a bunch of farmers, neither actors and actresses, nor innocent and flawless. None of the people present could see their little moves.
Bang!
With a scream, Iverson retracted the kick he had kicked out. The woman who was kicked was the one who spoke for the first time, and she was holding her left hand on the ground and wailing. Iverson's boots were made of heavy leather, which was heavy and stiff. This kick hit the unprotected village woman, and instantly broke the village woman's left hand bone.
Looking at the village woman on the ground who was holding her arms and screaming in pain, Iverson scolded angrily, "Damn it! Do you think Young Master Ben is a fool? Whoever doesn't tell the truth will die! ”
As soon as Iverson finished speaking, the guard behind him drew the long sword at his waist with a loud sound.
The villagers were suddenly frightened and cried out: "The noble lord spares his life!" Spare your life! We did meet the Essis, we did! ”
"And what are they doing here? Where are you now? ”
"They... They... Say that the army of Essis is about to arrive, and encourage us to rebel! But we absolutely didn't agree! We are all loyal to you! My lord! ”
"Humph! Damn the Essis are here to disturb people's hearts! Iverson snorted coldly and continued to ask, "Then where are they now!" ”
"This... This..... Noble lord, we really don't know! After they were driven out by us, they went west! We don't know where they are! ”
"A bunch of rubbish! How many of them are there? ”
"Four! There are four of them! ”
Iverson frowned, walked back and forth a few times, and then asked the guard behind him, "When will Edelman arrive?" ”
The guard replied respectfully, "Butler Erdman is expected to take a day's journey to get here. ”
"So, I'm going to spend a day in this damn place?"
Iverson looked at the humble village with disgust, just as Jackman had returned with a sheep that had been slaughtered.
"Young master, you see there is a lamb here! I'll make a fire right away, and it won't be long before you can enjoy a roasted whole lamb! ”
Seeing Jackman's happy appearance, Iverson suddenly rolled his eyes, showed an evil smile and said, "Jackman, you help me do something... (To be continued.) )
