In front of the small hotel.

It was almost midnight, but hundreds of people had gathered here.

Less than half of the 100-odd men were Barazh's guards. For the sake of this momentum, almost all the adult men who lived near the lord's longhouse were called over by Barazh.

Of course, it's hard to say how much combat power these people can have......

"What!?"

Balazhi straightened his arms and shook the soldier in front of him desperately.

"You say they're gone?"

"Yes......" the soldier felt like he was about to faint, "Lord Lord...... There was no one in the room...... They must have left......"

Balazhi froze in place. He called all the people who could shout to surround the small inn with great fanfare, but the reality was cruel......

He pounced.

"Someone has seen them, right?" Barazh asked, holding on to the last shred of hope.

"Yes. The captain has arrested everyone in the inn," said the soldier, "and he will be tortured, and he will be ......."

"Stupid, I didn't call you ......"

Balazhi did not finish his sentence. A projectile fired from a catapult flew from a distance and hit the soldier in the head. A red and white paste sprayed Barazh in the face.

Barazhi let out a cry of exclamation, threw the dead man in his hand to the ground, and sat down on the ground with his legs weakened.

In the distance, I remembered the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

"It's the pirates of the North!" Someone yelled in horror.

"Protect your lordship!" Only the captain remembered his duty.

……

Before the attack began, Golding "Octopus" felt that it would be difficult for Barazh to gather his soldiers together.

He was wrong.

Balaj and his soldiers were far more incompetent than he thought. In particular, many "soldiers" with hoes and bamboo poles ran around in piles, which only exacerbated the speed of their collapse.

Led by these farmers and stonemasons...... Soon, even the guards of those "professions" fell into a panic.

"God......" Barazhi sat on the ground with his hands on his knees and trembled, and the captain couldn't pull it up no matter how much he pulled it.

He didn't believe that it would be a coincidence that he led his troops to surround the heavenly people and kill the pirates.

Certainly, Balazhi thought in fear, it must be because the heavenly man is the true messenger of God. It was because of his audacity to attack them that he caused the wrath of the gods, and he invited this group of pirates to punish them on their behalf.

That's right. It must be God's will......

Seeing the lord's appearance like this, the last morale of the soldiers disappeared without a trace.

And just like that—the bitter battle Golding had envisioned turned into a "ritual of receiving."

……

Soon.

In front of the lord's longhouse, the townsfolk gathered together, crouching on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, waiting for the pirates to fall.

Golding now regrets it very much: he knew how easy it would be, why didn't he come earlier!

To the regret of the pirate leader, he still failed to catch the Bala Japanese. At first, he thought that Balazhi must have died in the chaos, maybe he was trampled to death by his own people; After careful questioning of three different peasant soldiers, Goldin had to admit sullenly that Barazh had fled.

Never mind. Forgive this waste and can't make any waves...... Thinking of this, Golding became complacent again.

Maybe that "spider" is also a vulnerable paper tiger......

"Ahem."

Golding shook his head and took off his horn helmet. Get carried away or not. In any case, he now has something more important to do: the treasures of Barazhi.

"Found it!" Hearing the cheers of the minions behind the lord's longhouse, the smile on the face of the "octopus" was even bigger: only the old pirate was more ugly when he laughed than angry......

The young warriors whose origins were a mystery, Golding thought to himself, they were really his lucky stars. He graciously agreed to their request and let the people go (although he repeatedly reminded himself not to be too inflated, he had forgotten the fact that he couldn't beat Lichenda).

Perhaps, it would be nice to let each of them pick a treasure of Balazhi as a gift to them?

Even if they can't join themselves, the long-term investment in maintaining their friendship is still necessary......

"What about them?" Suddenly, Golding realized what the problem was.

Lichenda, and the girl with the hammer and spear, and the young man with the sword......

They were all here at the time of the battle. What about people now?

Golding frowned, thinking about it carefully. It's as if they've gone away after telling themselves to take care of their companions......

……

The captain of the guard of the Lord of Balazhi ran wildly through the mountains with torches in hand.

His unconscious master was carried by him on his shoulders - the captain had decided to knock Balazhi unconscious, but he fainted in fright......

It's not that the captain didn't think about it, so he just surrendered. But for one, he had no additional benefit to the pirates; Second, he is also a northern warrior, and betraying his master is despised by northern warriors.

"Where are you going?"

The sudden sound of a laughing female voice made the captain fall into an ice cellar.

Ligenta crouched on a branch, scimitar in one hand, and her eyes scanned the captain's body—only the look gave him creeps.

"You can try to go back." Lichenda said. The girl and Dimi are still copying bread......

"Help!" Balazhi, who had woken up at some point, shouted.

The captain sighed.

Balazhi's cry only extinguished the last trace of resistance in the captain's heart......

He didn't think that the other party had only sent such a little girl to stop him. And, just this skinny girl, how did she run in front of her and go up the tree without making a sound? ，

With a drag oil bottle, it is impossible to escape......

"Can you spare my master?" The captain slowly lowered Barazh off his shoulder.

"It's up to him to be honest." Carrying a hammer spear, the girl who walked behind the captain whistled boredly.

"Haha......" Dimi chuckled twice. Although he also longed for a good fight, it was not bad that things could be resolved like this.

"Two noble great men from heaven!" Before the girl could speak, Barari was already kneeling, and in order to interrogate the pirates (on the surface), he would still say a few words in the Northern Islands dialect (mainly begging for mercy), but it was a little awkward, "Please forgive me!" ”

The girl's smile froze.

Lichenda and her adopted son looked at each other with concern in their eyes.

"Where did you hear that we are from heaven?" The girl said indifferently.

……

That night, the pirates left the town.

There were no casualties among the pirates, while the town's guards were killed seven or eight people, and several carpenters and blacksmiths were seriously wounded.

To the disappointment of the maiden and Dimi, they found Joe and Adam safe and sound among the captives, but the traitor nun was not among them.

It seems that the fox has slipped away......

Looking at Balari in front of him, the smile on the face of the "octopus" became even more "bright".

The Lord of Balaj also had the good fortune of being the only one to be taken from the town when the pirates left......

The fly in the ointment is that poor Balaj has already had half of her tongue cut off by Lichenda (apparently, Lichenda, who just lost her husband a few days ago, is not in a good mood), and will not be able to continue to be qualified for the lordship in the future. This may affect the ransom I extort from the "spider......

In terms of treasure, the pirates also returned with a full load. When the three girls tied up Balazhi, Golding, who was in a good mood and exploded, allowed the three to choose the treasure at will, and the three of them knew how to go in and out, the girl and Lichenda just picked out a silver ring and a garnet ring that looked the least valuable, respectively, while Dimi chose a suitable soft armor.

But why do they still look sullen?

"Find more spies," Golding whispered, "the nun who escaped, she won't be able to get far." ”

These mysterious warriors seem to "care" about the woman who has escaped. If only you could catch her nearby...... Maybe they could be tricked into playing for him longer, Golding thought to himself.
