Chapter 9: White Lies

"You, when did you ......!"

"Ah, I've seen this man, who came with the rebels this morning!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd instantly became chaotic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The villagers looked at the young man with fear and hurriedly searched for weapons.

Even Thomas, who secretly scolded himself in his heart for taking things too lightly, even if the real purpose of the rebels was to plunder supplies, it was not necessarily that they would not come out to patrol at night, and maybe they would be targeted when they came by themselves. Of course, it is also possible that they deliberately waited until the evening, when the villagers were slack, and then wiped out the rebels!

In short, it's too late to say anything.

"Wait, don't panic, he's only one person, as long as you kill him, maybe you'll be safe!"

"Let me come! There is just a stool here......"

"There's rubble on the ground, pick it up."

The young man stared blankly at the farce.

It wasn't until the villagers prepared their weapons that he reacted and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted.

"Wait, I'm not from the rebels, ...... over there Put the concealer down and wipe it. ”

Pebbles and stools flew over.

The young man hurriedly dodged, although he had expected the other party's action, but he did not expect the villagers to be so fast that he did not even have time to explain.

As he dodged, he said, "You misunderstood! Stop, I'm my own! I am a man of the King's Orthodox Army! ”

"Stop!!"

In an instant, the attack stopped.

The villagers looked at the little girl who was yelling loudly in bewilderment.

The little girl shook her head and said, "This person is not a bad person, don't attack again." ”

"What stupid are you talking about, Irene, he's a rebel!"

"He saved me today at the hands of the rebels, I don't think it's a gang." Erin explained.

The young man looked at the scene in amazement.

I thought to myself that I had inadvertently reached a branch line.

He spread out his hands, took a step forward, and said, "Everyone, please don't worry, I am a soldier from the lower knights of the King's Army, and I am here to help you fellow villagers." ”

"Country, King's Army?" The old man frowned in surprise and questioned: "Don't talk nonsense, the nearest military garrison here is at least four days away, how can you know the situation here and come to our rescue." ”

The old man looked at the young man with suspicious eyes, "Moreover, it's still with the rebels!" ”

"You don't know about that." The young man smiled as brightly as the sun: "In order to accurately grasp the information of the rebels, our king's army has sent a lot of spies and shadows to disguise themselves as rebel companions to carry out underground activities, including me, there have been thousands of companions who have infiltrated the enemy organization. At present, I have been lurking in the army that invaded the village for a few days, if it weren't for today's incident, where would I take the initiative to reveal my identity, ah, speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, I am a lower-level knight, a bronze-level warrior Xia. ”

“……”

"Ahem, I know it's hard for you to believe, but think about it, if I was really a fellow rebel, I should have gone out to inform my companion, right, how could I talk to you here." The youth patiently explained.

"That's just as well."

"Still, you're suspicious......!"

"Wait, lay down your arms and talk well."

Damn, I'm so wary.

The young man sighed in his heart.

"Do you have any proof that you are a member of the King's Army?" A villager asked.

"Absolutely." The young man smiled softly, and then he reached into his pocket, took out a small coat of arms, and held it high.

In the faint light, the coat of arms reflected a dazzling light.

So much so that the people around him have developed a temporary blindness.

"Look, this coat of arms is a knight's certificate issued to us by our regimental commander at the knighthood ceremony, and it is a certificate of loyalty that can only be worn by those of us who have taken great risks to infiltrate the enemy camp, folks, after reading this, do you still question my identity?"

The young man spoke in a low and serious voice, and none of the villagers could say a word.

In fact, they don't understand any of this at all.

The so-called asking for evidence is just wanting psychological comfort.

They were only native-born peasants, and they basically did not know much about the affairs of the army or the court, and at most they knew only the flags or slogans, so they could not refute the words of the youth.

Not to mention, it was impossible to see what that bright and blind coat of arms looked like.

"The ......" the villagers looked at each other, and they cast their eyes on the most respected old priest in the village, and the good old man Thomas.

Thomas nodded his head and said he had no opinion. The old man thought to himself, since Erin has admitted him so much, and Thomas doesn't seem to have any opinions, it is better to believe it, right?

So he also nodded and said, "Then, as Your Excellency said, we recognize your identity." ”

"Alright, let's talk about the future." The young man's body relaxed a lot, and he immediately found a chair to sit down, "Please come over for a while, although I am the main action, I still need everyone's help." ”

"What does action mean? Can't you call in reinforcements? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's very difficult, and I can't catch up with the time. "But if it's just to drive away the rebels and get back what was taken, I can still do it alone." ”

"You, are you serious?" The villagers' voices trembled.

"Of course." The young man nodded, "Then, let me explain the specific method." ”

After hearing this, the villagers gathered around.

On the other side, while the villagers listened attentively to the young man's explanation, Thoma and Erin looked out of the crowd.

"Erin, do you think he can really believe it?" Thomas asked the silver-haired genius in a whisper.

"Yes, you can." The girl nodded in reply.

"I don't think the rebels will leave for a while, why don't you just wait for Kayilu to come back? She's a powerhouse at the peak of the second order. It should be easy to clean up this group of people. ”

"It's been two days since Sister Kayilu went to the dungeon, and today is the third day, I'm afraid it's ......"

"yes......"

Thinking of the strong woman who swore "If I don't come back for three days, I'll die" and went to the dungeon alone to hunt for treasure, Thomas sighed and accepted the reality in front of him.

Now the village has no choice. If you don't accept help and sit still, sooner or later you will die, not to be killed, but to starve, and instead of waiting until then, it is better to pin your hopes on the youth.

In addition, Erin's vision is always not wrong.

She has a talent called [Guan], she is much smarter than her peers, and even the adults around her, and the lines defending Thales, although they are summarized by herself, are what she analyzes for herself.

There was once a wandering magician who wanted to take her as an apprentice, and if it weren't for the fact that the village chief thought the child was too young and refused, she must have become more intelligent.

Otherwise, how could the village chief hand over the name of the agent and the affairs of the village to her.

Thoma thought silently, and set his eyes on the young man not far away.
