Safin ran forward, out of breath, as if his soul had been broken, and he couldn't say a word. Witt was also taken aback by Safin's performance, and immediately asked impatiently, "Why are you so anxious?" If it's a daily matter, find Bandeni to deal with it! ”

"No, the owner of the village!" Safin was also anxious when he heard this, and then he gasped for two more breaths and added intermittently: "Brothers in the woods...... Message to say...... A group of soldiers was heading towards Shuangfeng Village...... It is estimated that Fesdena has arrived. ”

Witt's eyes suddenly opened, and then he forced his composure and asked, "Do you know what its purpose is?" How many centaurs? What is the class equip? "As soon as the matter of the snow bandits was resolved, the soldiers who came to Fesdena really made Witt unprepared, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"According to the news brought by the brothers in the forest, there are not many people on the other side, about more than ten people, but they are all heavily armed infantry, all with silver-white armor, and the purpose is unknown for the time being. The brothers in the forest didn't dare to move easily when they saw their formation, so they came back to report and ask the owner of the village to give an order! Safin informed Witt of the situation and waited for Witt's next steps.

Witt frowned, was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Gather all the people outside the village back to the cottage, close the gate of the village, and the archers will be on the wall and sentry of the village, and obey the orders!" ”

"Yes!" Safin immediately took the order and left. The transformation of the wall from a simple wooden fence to a simple stone wall with a mixture of wood, stone and mud has not yet been fully restored, so there is only a small open space on the top of the wall for archers to stand guard, and the enemy detection function of the cottage is more provided by high sentry posts.

The villagers who are plowing at the bottom of the peak received the instructions of the owner of the cottage conveyed by the guards of the cottage, and decisively stopped the farm work in their hands, and some of the villagers did not even have time to bring farm tools and wooden carts and hurriedly left the wheat field, and returned to the cottage in a hurry under the evacuation of the cottage guards. When the guards confirmed that all the people had returned safely, they closed the rudimentary wooden door tightly and bolted the heavy wooden bolts, and the archers were already waiting for dispatch on the walls and sentry posts.

Sure enough, about an hour later, a squad of fully armed, disciplined, and neatly arranged soldiers appeared in two columns within the sentry's field of vision, and the procession passed through the wheat fields and marched straight in the direction of Shuangfeng Village.

When the other party approached the gate of the village about thirty or forty meters, Bandeni, who was standing on the wall, suddenly shouted: "Stop! A dozen archers on the wall and the sentry immediately raised their bows and aimed at the group of soldiers, ready to send a wave of scattered but merciless arrows to the soldiers who came from afar.

Witt did not stand at the top of the wall at the moment, but stood at the back of the wall and listened. Because Witt didn't want to immediately expose the identity of the owner of the Twin Peaks Village, which would bring too much trouble and danger to his future travels, he asked Bandni to negotiate with the other party on his behalf.

At the head of the squad of soldiers is none other than Joey. Along the way, the hundreds of acres of vigorous wheat fields in Shuangfeng Village made Joey dumbfounded, since the death of Warisi Enpoye, many fields in Fesde's year have been barren, and there are not many wheat fields as good as those growing under the Twin Peaks, and he can't help but look at the specific situation of Shuangfeng Village differently, and even a little confused.

When I reached the top of the peak, I was even more stunned when I saw the tall and outwardly constructed concrete stone wall, which was the embers that had been burned by the fire. Although Joey had never seen the wooden walls of the Twin Peaks Village during the original bandit period, Joey asserted that the thick earth and stone walls must be many times better than the wooden walls. It's like a cottage, it's a small castle in a dangerous place!

Moreover, Joey had never heard of heavily armed bandits with bows and arrows, and some of the bandits were not even inferior to the regular veterans of Fesd that he had brought with him. Joey was overwhelmed by what was in front of him, and he didn't know what to do. At the beginning, Cass said to himself that as long as he brought a dozen or so Fesd regular soldiers, he could scare the group of untouchable-born half-hung bandits into crawling out and surrendering and accepting the recruitment. Now Joey felt that even if he gave himself another twenty regular veterans, he would be estimated to have heavy casualties, and Joey only saw the archers on the walls and sentry posts, as for how many bandits were hidden in the cottage, Joey had no way to say, it was all conjecture.

Joey forcibly stabilized his nervousness, thought for a moment, walked alone against the danger of being shot at any time, and then stopped in the open space less than ten meters away from the gate of the wall, looked up at Bandni on the wall, and said politely: "Your Excellency is the master of the Shuangfeng Village?" ”

"Who do you care who I am? What is the reason for coming to Shuangfeng Village? If you have a fart, let it go, get out of here, our bow and arrow don't have eyes. Banderi said unceremoniously. Later, Banderi also learned that he was involved in the battle for the title of Fesdena and nearly lost his life, so he hated Oksha in Fesdena and wanted to slash her with a knife.

Although Banderni's words were not very good, after all, they were talking about the other party, and those cottage guards just laughed and didn't react much. But the soldiers of Fesdena under the wall were all young and strong men, and they were in a period of strength and strength, and after Fesde's dog bullying the untouchables for a long time, he tolerated such humiliation as Denis, and immediately became angry, scolded back loudly and rudely, and proposed to fight Bandeni in a duel, and the scene was out of control for a while, and there was a lot of uproar.

Joey's face had already turned pale, and he immediately turned to the group of soldiers and shouted, "Shut up! And a little bit of discipline! Who dares to go back to military justice again! The soldiers immediately felt like they had eaten a dumb pill, and they wanted to stop talking, so they had to keep their sulking in their chests.

After the scene was brought under control, Joey looked up at Bandney again and said, "Your Excellency, I am the captain of the personal guard of Cass, the captain of the garrison of Fesdena, and I have come to Shuangfeng Village to recruit you on the orders of my superiors. ”

Banderey had just admired Joey's ability to govern the army, and then heard that Joey had come to recruit him, and he was immediately furious, but he still held back the anger in his chest and glanced at Witt in the village.

Witt behind the walled wall was already stunned at the moment when Joey's voice was remembered, and there was a momentary impulse to go up to the walled wall to meet Joey in person, but thinking that Joey was still a personal guard in Feysd's fortress, he suppressed this strong thought in his heart. Later, Witt learned that Joey was now the new captain of the garrison in Fesdena, and that Cass, the knight he had previously served, completely dispelled this idea. Although Witt still doesn't know Kas very well, Wick doesn't know much about Okasha's personality, and he doesn't want to hurt Joey because he is the owner of Twin Peaks. Met with Banderney's gaze, Witt just nodded and motioned for Banderney to let the negotiations continue.

Banderey understood what Witt meant, and immediately said loudly to Joey: "Tell me about it, we have a lot of people in Shuangfeng Village, and we live comfortably here, without worrying about food, clothing, and without the exploitation of the lord and the suffering of war, why should we accept Zhao'an?" What can you bring to us? ”

Banderney's verbal bombardment made Joey unable to come up with a reason for a while. Because Banderi is reasonable, how can he talk about him, the situation of the villagers of Shuangfeng Village at the moment is indeed much better than that of the villagers of Festena. The war between Vecchia and Nord has been going on for more than half a year, and there is no sign of its end. Fesdena's internal title battle was greatly damaged, and the bandits and robbers around the village only increased, and the villagers lived every day in this meal and thought about the painful days of the next meal.

Joey really didn't have the confidence to persuade Zhao'an, but the task was in his body, and the duty of a soldier was to obey orders, so he had to say stubbornly but tactfully: "Your Excellency, the lord of Okasha of Fesdena has pure Boyer family blood, is the orthodoxy of Fesdena, and is a symbol of power. Although the people of Twin Peaks are also good people, and they do not endanger one side like other bandits and robbers on weekdays (although Joey knows that the one who hijacks the caravan to and from Fesdena the most is Twin Peaks), but after all, you are still subjects under the jurisdiction of Lord Osdena of Fesdna, and it is not legal to live alone in Twin Peaks Village, and it is the bandits, not good people, so Lord Okasha strongly recommends that all the good people of Twin Peaks return to Fesdena, and the past deeds will not be investigated, and the lord will also promise to provide a place for the villagers to live, as long as the villagers are willing to return to Fesdena. As for the person in charge of the Twin Peaks, the lord will consider retaining the original armament and bringing it under the jurisdiction of the Fesdena army, enjoying the rank and monthly salary, and the other armed forces will also be paid according to the actual situation. This is the benevolent heart of Lord Fesdena Oksha, and I hope Your Excellency will not refuse. ”

The conditions that Joey said were indeed quite attractive, and if it was true that the villagers could live in peace as Joey said, and Witt would be able to lead the cottage guards to continue their military life, this would be the most satisfying ending. But the wolfish ambition beneath Oksha's face makes Witt unbelievable that his prime minister can really hold a boat in his belly. Witt believed that this was just a trap set by Okasha, and when he accepted the recruitment, he retaliated and killed him all.

But Witt couldn't directly refuse Joey, the cottage was still in a weak state at this time, and everything was waiting to be rebuilt, how could it be able to stand up to the powerful Fesdena soldiers. Once he is self-willed, the other party will come out, and the efforts of more than 300 people up and down the village in the past few months will be in vain.

Witt is very aware of the situation in Shuangfeng Village at the moment, and the best policy is to keep the light and obscure, as the so-called small ones can't bear it, they will make big plans. Because in the face of Banderney's gaze again, Witt first shook his head, and then nodded.

Banderey frowned, he didn't understand Witt at first, did he refuse to recruit An? Or accept Zhao'an? After pondering for a moment, he suddenly felt that Witt's idea was very good, and then turned to Joy who had been waiting at the bottom of the cottage for a long time: "Please go back and report to your lord, our Shuangfeng Village is willing to accept Your Excellency's recruitment, but recently the order in the village is disordered, and the villagers are difficult to control, we need some time to explain to the villagers, I believe that all the villagers are willing to accept the great Lord Oksha to lead everyone to a better tomorrow." Besides, the wheat in the wheat fields will soon ripen, and the villagers will not want the hard work of these months to be wasted, so we hope that Lord Okasha will be magnanimous and give us some time. As a subject, on behalf of all the people of Shuangfeng Village, I would like to offer my most loyal blessings to Lord Oksha. Please give my words to Lord Okasha, and I am grateful. ”

At the beginning, when Joey heard Bandney say that he agreed to accept Zhao'an, he immediately smiled and was easy to deal with, but who knew that the more Bandney said later, the more ambiguous he became, whether to accept or refuse to accept Zhao'an, and his heart began to be impetuous, but it was not good to intimidate directly. If things are stiffened and force is really used, even if Joey is confident that he will capture Twin Peaks, he believes that Cass will not want to see the outcome. In desperation, Joey persuaded him many times to no avail, so he had to say: "Since Your Excellency really needs some time, we will naturally go back to report the situation to our superiors truthfully, but the cottage people are also subjects of Festena, and Lord Okasha wants me to greet the villagers on her behalf, Your Excellency might as well let me let me in, how about it?" ”

Banderi was also stunned, let them in, those soldiers are not a good stubble, once they are let in, the defensive measures in front and back of the cottage are also exposed, isn't this deliberately exposing their weaknesses in front of the enemy? Bandney naturally knew the point, and he believed that Witt was also aware of this, but he still looked at Witt to confirm it. Seeing Witt shaking his head gently, Bandney immediately said to Joey: "Your Excellency, I'm really sorry, there are differences between the cottagers recently due to the distribution of land and property, so the atmosphere of the cottage is not very happy, the villagers are emotionally unstable, there may be potential dangers in the cottage, for the sake of your safety, it is not recommended that you enter the village, you will come back another day!" ”

"But ......" Joey wanted to continue to persuade, but Banderey preemptively interrupted: "Your Excellency, please go back, I still have important business to do, so it is inconvenient to send you off, and Lord Oksha also asks Your Excellency to take care of it, and I am grateful." ”

Joey is helpless, Benderney has already talked about this, and if he persuades him, he will probably tear his face, which is also the ending that Joey doesn't want to see. In desperation, Joey had no choice but to exchange a few words of greetings, make a show, and then lead his soldiers back to the bottom of the peak along the same road, heading in the direction of Fesdna.

When Joey was gone, Bandeni descended the wall and came to Witt. Witt patted Banderi on the shoulder and said appreciatively, "Well done!" We don't have the strength to fight against Fesdena right now, and Taoguang is our best solution. Take us to be stronger in the future, and we will also have the capital to compete with it. But you will have to work hard in the days to come, and the cottage guards will inevitably train you personally. ”

"Don't worry! I'm sure I'll live up to your expectations, and the next time they come, I'm sure we'll not have to compliment that brutal madwoman. Bandney swore to Witt's satisfaction.

After Joey left, the cottage returned to its former serenity, and the villagers were a little worried about the revenge of the Fesden soldiers, but the presence of the cottage guards gave them some comfort, and over time, they no longer cared about it, and the daily life in the village was as normal as the moon revolving around the earth.
