Chapter 15: Purges 1

The village of four leaves is located in the southwest corner of the Will Territory, of course, now there is only the Hunter Territory, and there is no Will Territory. Named after the four-leaf clover that grows around the village, the village has a permanent population of more than 300 people, and it can barely survive under the Weil family, despite the heavy taxes.

However, at this time, the Siye Village is not back to the tranquility of the past, the burning houses everywhere are billowing black smoke, a few days ago the Xiaoling River battle, the Wei family was defeated, the Siye Village suffered heavy losses, and the more than 50 young men who were requisitioned only came back half, and the whole village has not come out of the grief, and was looted by the snow thieves who took advantage of the fire.

A group of more than 50 snow thieves invaded the village almost effortlessly, they robbed everything of some value, the rations reserved at home and the seeds prepared for spring ploughing were taken away by the robbers, and the slightest resistance ended in the murder and burning of the house by the snow thieves.

The snow thieves wreaked havoc through the village and then flew away, leaving only a messy village and a faint whimper.

In the past, the snow thieves naturally did not dare to be so arrogant, and the would-be knights of the Will family were not vegetarians, and as long as the peasants and soldiers of the village insisted on the quasi-knights of the Will family's help, the snow thieves had to retreat. But now that the Will family has fallen, and the self-defense capabilities of the villages have suffered a great loss, the snow thieves are now entering spring as if they were following the climate of the Northlands.

A tall middle-aged man looked north a few miles outside Siye Village and fell into thought, and the more than a dozen strong men with weapons around him remained quiet and did not dare to disturb.

However, a snow thief broke the silence.

"Boss Aegon, the people from Four Leaves Village have come back and robbed almost 100 stone of grain, as well as some Jinnar."

"Hmm"

This tall middle-aged man is Aegon, and he is also the leader of this group of snow thieves, there are more than a dozen snow thief gangs in the Northland, large and small, but the snow thief group led by Aegon is definitely one of the best.

Because Aegon is a snow thief, but has the strength of the peak quasi-knight, he robbed and killed a caravan in his early years, and accidentally obtained a good breathing method, and his more than 200 members are all elite old bandits, although they can't beat the professional soldiers of the Hunter family and the quasi-knights and personal guards of the Will family, but they can easily clean up the peasant soldiers in various villages,

This kind of strength is very rare among the snow thieves in the northland, after all, the snow thieves seem to be majestic, but in fact, most of them are composed of some farmers and homeless people who can't survive, as well as some free people in the mountains and forests, and most of the people who are really powerful will also tend to be loyal to the lord and seek the opportunity to become knights.

And they raided the house and attacked the village, it was simply the wool of the lord, and the lord of the Golden Dragon Kingdom had never been easy to deal with.

There is also at least one knight and several quasi-knights in each family, so even a quasi-knight like Aegon is trembling when he leads the raid, for fear of bumping into the knights in the territory.

Now they dare to be so arrogant when the Will family is defeated and the territory is in chaos.

"Boss Aegon, the team that went to Black Rock Village has also returned, and they have harvested at least two hundred stone of grain."

This time, there is no need to worry about the Will family to suppress it, the looting is more careful, the harvest is much more than before, and the tone of the person who reported the news is inevitably a little happy, Aegon is also benevolent to his subordinates, and the looting will always give the people below a mouthful of soup, this time the harvest is rich, and more benefits can always be shared.

"What about the team that went to Mopan Village? Why haven't you come back yet? ”

This time, the villages had no defense, and in order to improve the efficiency of the raid, Aegon divided his men and horses into four teams, and brought some elites to respond in the middle, and the three teams dispersed to prepare to sack the nearby villages as quickly as possible.

"I don't know, Mopan Village is farther away, maybe it's delayed on the road."

Aegon squinted his eyes at what he was thinking about when he was guessing whether his guess was set up or not.

Aegon was far less optimistic about the fall of the Will family, and at the beginning he crisscrossed the Northlands, making many small nobles grit their teeth with hatred, and always evaded the pursuit of various knights, but he suffered a big loss on the territory of the Hunter family, and the peasant soldiers and well-trained armor soldiers who fought to the death left a deep impression on him, and finally he had to flee from the territory of the Hunter family with his men.

Now that the Hunter family has defeated the Will family and taken over the Will family's territory, I am afraid that this place will not be easy to treat in the future, so I will leave quickly after grabbing this ticket in the chaos, Aegon thought.

……

"Kill"

"Vindictive! Yes, it's the knight run. ”

"Shoot the arrows, don't let any of them go."

"What is it in the sky, ah...... Save me, let me down. ”

Here, Richard and his team came to the village of Mopan to meet Aegon's men, and the group had just left the village when they collided head-on with the system soldiers led by Richard.

After receiving the mission, Richard left the Boulder with 20 spearmen, 10 marksmen, and six griffons, leaving Ron and a few spearmen to stay at the Boulder Fort just in case.

After using the griffin to find out the location of the snow thief, he rushed to Mopan Village, and then the scene at the entrance of the village happened.

Before the dozens of snow thieves who had just ransacked the village could recover their senses, they were met with a wave of accurate fire from archers, and seven or eight fell in one fell swoop, and Richard and his spearmen rushed again, and the group of snow thieves completely dispersed, and when they fled with their backs exposed, the griffons showed their claws for the first time on the continent.

A battle without suspense began and ended abruptly, and several snow thieves who had been deliberately left by Richard for questioning looked a little lost when they were brought to Richard.

"Tell me, how many of you are there, and where are they?"

Although I don't know how many snow thieves are wreaking havoc in total, there are only about fifty snow thieves here, and the task issued by the council chamber is 100, and the task has not yet been completed, and of course there are other snow thieves.

"We're Aegon Boss's men."

With that, the snow thief paused.

"If you want me to tell you where the rest of you are, you have to promise not to kill me."

Richard smiled when he heard this, looking very friendly.

"Okay, you cooperate obediently, I promise not to kill you."

"Boss Aegon brought two hundred people, there should be more than a hundred people now, we originally planned to go to Boss Aegon with the harvest to meet, they should be in the generation of Four Leaves Village and Black Rock Village now."

When Richard heard this, he began to direct the griffons to search in the direction of the Four Leaves Village and the Black Rock Village.

The griffons, who were still playing, let out a few eagle whines in response, then flapped their wings and flew away, quickly dissolving into a small dot in the air.

"Tie them up, don't kill them, and give them to the villagers of Mopan Village."

When Richard had finished asking the question, he got up and gave orders, and the gunmen moved quickly, tying up and dragging the snow thieves into the village in a few strokes.

Anyway, I just promised not to kill him and handed them over to the villagers, and it doesn't matter to me whether I can survive or not, I'm very honest. Richard thought silently.

"Alright, keep chasing those bastards."

With that, Richard mounted his horse and marched forward, and the spearmen and archers quickly followed Richard.
