Section 198 Vulnerable species
(6.25 1st Update)
"Patriarch, how can you explain the delay in escaping!"
In the panic, the angry villagers attacked the stubborn patriarch, of course, it was only a futile emotional catharsis.
The patriarch remained silent, fearing that he would anger the people again, and thought about how to survive the crisis.
"It's not a matter of complaining now, let's think about how to evacuate!"
"yes, how can those bandits defend themselves? After all, it is a regular army, and even if it is scattered, it should not be underestimated. ”
"Everyone, listen to me, inform all the clansmen, and take refuge in the tunnel!"
Before the patriarch's hesitant words fell, the sound of horses' hooves had already appeared in front of him, and it was a plundering soldier.
A bandit leader looked down on the cowardly clansmen haughtily and couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.
"Oh, is it ready for a mass greeting? Well, the whole village searches for fugitives! ”
The greedy minions who started the action frantically pounced on the village to carry out the so-called manhunt.
"Don't panic, everyone, we are a nearby government army, and we are chasing down the rebels, please cooperate."
The bandit leader calmed the villagers' dripping emotions and prompted them to acquiesce in the demanded military expenses. In the depths of the village, there are all kinds of mixed voices, which are the essence of bandits.
"This general, I am the patriarch of this village, do you have a decree to be on duty?"
The patriarch staggered in front of the horse's hooves, questioning the government troops who had deviated from their concern.
"Ridiculous, are you questioning General Ben? If you know each other, get out! ”
The general tightened the reins, the horses lifted their proud front hooves, and the frightened patriarch fell to the ground in a hurry, and his poor acting skills to win sympathy would only be ignored with ridicule.
"Patriarch, are you alright?"
Several villagers helped the patriarch up, but they didn't dare to say a word of argument because of their timidity.
A little farther away, the villagers began to whisper.
"Alas, there is no escape, is this really a cursed ominous place?"
The old lady also sighed at the bad luck of coming again, the same as ten years ago, this time a little gentle.
"No, probably because of the strategic location, behind the prosperity, there is always a hidden risk."
A few curious villagers looked at me carefully, as if they were about to forget my unfamiliar face.
"Bell, the corn is good, do you want to eat it?"
Xiao Yi held the corn cob and stretched it out to my mouth, steaming with a mellow taste.
The surprised villagers wiped their eyes and re-examined whether the uninvited guests were lost in the threat.
"Little ghost, you are very calm! Looking at what you are wearing, it doesn't look like a belonging to an ancient village, but more like a child of a rich family. ”
The bandit leader unwittingly approached the dense crowd, causing a flurry of panic.
"In comparison, the general seems to be a little embarrassed! Why, do you only dare to bully civilians when you are on the run? Don't be in a hurry to deny it, the hideous appearance is a deception that you can't see yourself. ”
The bandit leader was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't speak for a while, but he actually ordered his subordinates to take a mirror and observe his funny appearance. After careful discernment, it was discovered that I had fallen into a trap.
"Good boy, dare to humiliate me, are you impatient!"
The enraged bandit leader threatened me in a rage, but accidentally hurt the innocent villagers, cowering and trembling at any moment of bloodshed.
The old woman tugged at my sleeve and reminded me that it was the only way to compromise.
"It's okay, Bell will take care of it!"
Xiao Yi comforted the old lady, but empty talk would not have any effect, and the villagers still did not dare to look at her.
"Is the premise of humiliation ignorance? If you admit the relationship, I can accept the sanctions! ”
"You!"
The abrupt anger that stopped, the bandit leader had a bitter but indescribable feeling, and he was aggrieved by this domineering man.
"What's wrong? Do you seem to be aggrieved and need comfort? ”
"Bastard, don't provoke me, or I'll make you a corpse! I don't have the perfunctory amiability that seems to be. ”
"Don't get excited, the humid air doesn't meet the conditions for making dried corpses, do you want to keep trying?"
"Boy, don't take an inch, I connived at you because of your age, it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you."
"So you've already had a similar idea, so I should thank you for your praise of me."
The bandit leader was completely enraged, but he didn't dare to tear his face, as for the reason, it was very simple, he was not as strong as he looked, and he was still indulging in the fear of war.
"Okay, even if you are powerful, I can't beat you in quibbles, are you interested in coming to my military camp to develop?"
"The reclusive Bell doesn't like crowds unless you get out of the village first."
"Hmph, you're too shy to ask, miss. I still have to stay here to crush your advice. ”
The bandit leader did not approve of the advice provided by Xiao Yi and was ready to go on his own way.
Soon, all the villagers who were searched and arrested gathered in the courtyard, which was his proud hostage capital.
"Report to the general, we have looted abundant belongings, shall we evacuate?"
The soldiers uncovered the truth that no longer needed to be concealed, and made a lot of money in the name of raids.
"No, I have changed my mind now and sent the order down, and the brothers will be stationed here in the future to protect the villagers."
"Yes, I'll arrange it."
The bandit leader is proud of his flexible wisdom, and being able to grab a place to live is an unexpected gain.
The villagers are worried, and it is difficult to remove the invading war, but they dare not speak out.
"General, do you want to stay here?"
The patriarch appeared again, but with a flattering look, looking forward to it.
"Yes, do you want to refute?"
"No, no, no, I don't dare, thank you very much for your assistance, all of us will be hospitable to you."
The patriarch's sudden change drew bursts of boos and a vent of dissatisfaction.
"Presumptuous, how can you welcome the general? Don't apologize to the general yet. ”
"Mr. Patriarch, there are indeed people who are presumptuous now, but it's not the group, it's you!"
Ganti stood up, reproaching the patriarch who had lost his integrity, and disdained the mighty general.
"Ganti, what do you want to do, is it your responsibility to bring the whole village into a crisis?"
"Hmph, my words are the wish of the whole clan, it's a shame that you lure a wolf into the house! Delayed chronic death is even more of a struggle. ”
"You, are you all going to rebel? I am the patriarch, your leader! ”
"Patriarch? You still have the face to claim to be, you have broken your oath and disregarded the interests of the whole clan, what face do you have? ”
"Yes, if you abandon us, then we can only abandon you."
The chaos that was rendered embarrassed the patriarch was a little embarrassed, and he fell in an instant at the edge of power.
"Mr. Patriarch, your people seem to complain a little about your obstinate behavior?"
The bandit leader drew his short sword and shook it in the air, intimidating the people who had risen to prominence.
"Yes, please give me a moment and I'll take care of it. Hey, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel? ”
"Yes, patriarch, we would rather die than sell our souls, and as for you, you will be recorded in the shame of the nation, and will be spurned by future generations, so be enlightened!"
"You guys, you don't want to die, I don't want to play with you, follow me, stand on my side."
The suggestion of the cold field was echoed by the occasional crow call.
"Okay, General, it's none of my business, you can see it, it's these people who are fooled and don't know how to be flexible!"
The patriarchs who rebelled and separated from their relatives could only seek the assistance of the general, and they were about to cry out if they were very aggrieved.
"Why be so embarrassed to manipulate simple things? The tense confrontation is a test for both sides, and it is better to ease it up a little. ”
"Oh? Little ghost, what kind of tricks do you have, tell me and listen to it. ”
"That is to exchange sacrifice for peace, it is clear that the patriarch has caused public outrage, what does the general think?"
"Also, he doesn't seem to be of any use anymore, and if his death is in exchange for a compromise from you, I'm willing to make this deal."
The general was looking forward to the villagers' suggestion, but was the first to get the patriarch's rebuttal, and he was very eager.
"General, do you want to be treacherous? We're not saying okay, you can guarantee my status. ”
"But now that I've changed my mind, you, the patriarch you worship, have betrayed your hiding place, and I can easily find it. If you want to complain, just sarcastically mock him! ”
The fact that the general made public made the people even more angry, and surrounded the patriarch, and his sharp eyes were enough to kill lives.
"Everyone, don't believe their counter-plots, I am pure, how can I betray my people?"
The patriarch was still defending himself, pointing the finger at the general, and repeatedly defecting before the battle, which was very annoying.
"Young man, how did you see through the conspiracy between us?"
"It's very simple, an alien invader, it is not easy to identify the villages in the wilderness, but your subordinates are like surveying the terrain in advance, very skillful in robbing property, there is always the presence of moles."
"It's such a flaw, but you're smart, are you willing to join my camp and make a big difference?"
The bandit leader once again threw an olive branch of cooperation, which was a desire for wisdom, because he was missing.
"No, Bell doesn't like fragile people!" (To be continued.) )
