Hokuryu is located in the northernmost part of the civilized world, and in the eyes of the wealthy southern countries, it is a wild land of poor countryside.

The attitude of the nobles towards the Diao people has always been not very friendly, but because the Diao people are generally backed by the church, the attitude of the nobles towards the Diao people is still very restrained - except for the time of paying taxes, the nobles and the commoners rarely communicate.

But since the nobles took refuge in the Demon King, this situation has changed.

The aristocrats became brutal and even provoked a popular uprising! The commoners who were unwilling to endure the oppression of the nobles either resisted or fled, and for a time the southern region of the Mona Kingdom was in chaos.

……

To the south of the Mona kingdom, in the mountains of Le Pontine.

The Le Pontin Mountains are a mountainous area located in the southern part of the kingdom, with endless hills and vast forests, which provide the surrounding area with a large amount of wood and stone.

In a small village on the edge of the Le Pontine mountains, a female knight riding a giant rabbit led more than 20 soldiers to collect the food in the village!

Horse-drawn carts loaded with grain stopped at the entrance of the village, and the villagers looked at the armed soldiers with angry faces.

At this moment, an old woman with a child suddenly rushed out: "Sir! Please! This is our last food, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to survive this winter! Have mercy and leave us some food! ”

On the giant rabbit, the female knight looked at the old woman condescendingly, and a trace of unhappiness flashed on her face.

"Get in the way!" One of the attendant soldiers lifted his foot and kicked the old woman to the ground.

"Mom!" The child behind the old woman hurriedly supported the old woman who fell to the ground.

The female knight sat on the giant rabbit, glanced indifferently at the old woman, and withdrew her gaze.

The old woman looked at everything in front of her, and couldn't help but cry out with grief and indignation: "My lord, if you still have the heart to fear the gods, please have mercy on us people!" If we continue like this, we won't be able to survive at all! ”

As soon as the old woman's cry fell, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

The female knight tugged lightly on the reins, stopped, turned her head, and looked at the old woman below with cold eyes.

"Gods?" The female knight looked at the old woman and her child condescendingly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "I really didn't expect that there are people who believe in foreign gods here." ”

The old woman seemed to sense something, and a trace of fear appeared on her face.

"Execute them." The female knight commanded lightly.

"Yes, sir!" The squire soldiers, armed with spears, surrounded them and pointed their weapons at Lao Ou and the child on the ground.

"Nope! No! ~" A frightened look appeared on the old woman's face, "You can't do this! The gods will punish you! ”

"Keep one thing in mind. In this land, from now on, there will be only one god! There is no need for other gods in this land, and the Demon King is the only god here! A hint of disdain flashed in the female knight's eyes, "You heretics don't seem to understand the power of the Demon King. ”

The soldiers surrounding the old woman were about to carry out the execution, but at this moment, a crossbow arrow as thick as an arm suddenly shot out from the corner of a house!

！！！

The female knight suddenly rolled back!

The crossbow bolt grazed the female knight's hair and flew over, shooting directly into the head of one of the attendant guards.

"Enemy attack!" The soldiers held their weapons in horror and looked around.

On the back of the giant rabbit, the female knight sat up straight, gently touched the ends of her hair, and looked indifferently at the corner of the wall where the crossbow arrow was fired.

"Show me!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers, armed with their weapons, rushed to the corner where the attackers were hiding.

However, by the time the soldiers arrived, the attacker was nowhere to be seen behind the corner.

"My lord, there is no one." The soldiers quickly returned and reported to the female knight.

The female knight's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at the villagers in the onlookers and the two pagan mother and son not far away: "Continue the execution!" ”

"Yes! My lord! The soldiers raised their spears and walked over to the two infidel mother and son.

The female knight picked up her shield and spear, adjusted the direction of her mount, and was ready to attack.

When the soldiers raised their spears and prepared for execution, the people in ambush in the village couldn't help but strike again!

Crossbow arrows with thick bowls were fired at the soldiers on execution.

"Smack! ~" With a bang, the female knight's spear swung and intercepted the crossbow bolts shot directly in mid-air.

"Humph! But that's it. The female knight snorted coldly, and then drove the giant rabbit under her crotch and rushed towards the house where the attacker was hiding.

The humble wooden house exploded as if it had been bombarded by a missile, and the female knight who piloted the giant rabbit charged through like a violent whirlwind, leaving only the ruins of the wooden house!

After charging some distance, the female knight slowly stopped, turned around, and looked at the place she had just passed.

The land was in shambles.

Looking at the place where the female knight charged, the soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This is the power of the followers of the Demon King!

The female knight glanced around and suddenly looked out of the village!

In the forest outside the village, a young man in a green robe with a giant crossbow on his back is fleeing into the forest.

"Catch him for me!" The female knight shouted angrily!

At the orders of the female knight, the soldiers finally noticed the teenager who was fleeing to the forest.

The soldiers, armed with their weapons, rushed towards the teenager.

Soon, a group of people rushed into the forest.

Driving the soldiers in front, the female knight held a shield in one hand and drove a giant rabbit under her crotch in the other, and slowly followed behind and walked into the forest.

Shortly after entering the forest, a bowl-thick crossbow arrow suddenly shot out of the forest again!

"Bang! ~”

Two soldiers fell in response! The huge crossbow bolt shot through the bodies of the two soldiers in succession, and then shot directly into the trunk of a large tree.

"There it is!" The soldiers, armed with weapons, rushed to the bushes where the shooters were hiding.

At the same time, the female knight also drove the giant rabbit and rushed over! This crossbow shooter's attack is powerful, but the attack speed is very slow, as long as the opponent rushes in front of the opponent before the second arrow, then the opponent is dead!

The female knight is very confident in her own strength, and those weak rebels are at most hiding in the shadows and secretly shooting cold arrows, fighting head-on, those weak rebels are definitely not their opponents who have been blessed by the Demon King. These weak heretics don't understand the power of the Demon King!

After rushing through a patch of bushes, the female knight immediately saw the green-robed boy who was fleeing.

"Heh~ Little mouse, I finally found you."

The female knight held a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face. The giant rabbit took the female knight and launched a charge at the green-robed boy!

The giant rabbit has extremely powerful explosive power, and the power of its instantaneous charge even the earthly dragon with dragon veins has to bow down.

Under the charge of the giant rabbit, the female knight instantly killed behind the green-robed boy. Just as the female knight raised her spear and was about to nail her target to the ground, the giant rabbit under the female knight suddenly fell!

！！！

The female knight's face changed slightly, and she was thrown out directly!

At this moment, a crossbow bolt with a thick bowl mouth suddenly shot out of a corner of the forest.

"Bang! ~”

The crossbow arrow with a thick bowl mouth directly pierced the armor on the female knight's body and stabbed into the female knight's body fiercely! The female knight fell to the ground like a rag.

"Heinault-sama!" The soldiers stopped in horror and looked nervously at the female knight.

"It hurts!" The knight slowly rose from the ground, reached out and grabbed the bolt that had pierced her body, and pulled it out with all her might.

Fuchsia blood stained the female knight's hands red.

"Great, great! Are you alright? The soldiers asked nervously.

The female knight stuck out her tongue and gently licked the blood on her hand: "Ah~ What a stupid person." They couldn't comprehend the Demon King's power at all! ”

The wound squirmed, and the wound caused by the previous crossbow bolt quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Looking at the female knight who seemed to be unscathed, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the soldiers!

"Search for me! Find out the assailant for me! The knight indifferently ordered, "I want them to understand the fate of offending me!" ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

The soldiers hurriedly split up and searched in the direction where the crossbow bolts had come from.

The female knight walked over to her mount and turned over to the rabbit. However, after some searching, the soldiers were unable to find the two cunning assassins.

……

In the forest in the mountains of Le Pontine, two men in green cloaks are running through the forest as if they were walking on the ground. After a circle in the forest, the two men came to the bottom of a cliff.

After scouting around, one of the middle-aged men knocked on a boulder under the cliff.

After a while, a gap suddenly opened in the boulder. Two men hurriedly got through the gap!

A man poked his head out of the gap, looked around, then retracted into the cavern, moving the boulder to its place.

Under the cliff, everything seems to be normal......

"Mr. Krauss, it's great that you're safe!"

In the cave, a group of men warmly greeted the two returnees.

A green-robed man at the head pulled down the cloak on his head, revealing a slightly old face: "Everyone, I'm back." ”

"Mr. Klaus, have you succeeded?" A man looked at the green-robed man with a look of expectation.

The green-robed man shook his head slowly: "Failed, although it severely injured the demon knight, but failed to kill her." ”

Hearing the green-robed man's words, everyone's faces couldn't help but show disappointed eyes.

"Damn! Those demons are too much! A man slammed the table hard.

"Winter is coming soon, and if you don't raise enough food before winter, you're in trouble."

"But those demons have completely controlled the food in the villages. The villages don't even have their own food rations, and there is no surplus food to support us. ”

"Those damn demons are planning to starve us to death!"

"The six gods are above, those demons will be punished!"

"But if we can't solve the food problem, we will starve to death before those demons are punished by the gods."

Panic caused by food scarcity began to spread among the population.

"Calm down, everybody. We have not yet reached the point of despair. At this moment, the green-robed man suddenly spoke.

Hearing the green-robed man's words, everyone slowly fell silent.

"Get the map out." The green-robed man commanded.

"Mr. Klaus, map." A man pulls out a map from a cabinet and unfolds it on the table.

The green-robed man walked to the front of the map: "This is the mountain area of Le Pontine!" The mountainous area of Le Pontine is so vast that we can get food from the mountains. ”

"Two or three people might get enough food from the mountains, but there are thousands of us!" One man couldn't help but object.

"We can disperse our actions." The green-robed man pointed to the endless mountains on the map, "Two to five people work in small groups, each occupying a mountain forest and getting food from the mountains. ”

There is plenty of food in the mountains, but there is a limit to what you can eat. The so-called "one mountain does not allow two tigers", a mountain cannot even feed two tigers, let alone hundreds of humans? Therefore, the only way was to split the team and place them on the hills, so as to ensure the supply of food.

But the essence of this is to give up some people – not all of them can afford to get enough food from the mountains, especially in the colder winters.
