Chapter 18: When You Are Merciful

Trembling suddenly, Xiao Yi pointed to the rampaging refugees and asked, "How did it develop to this extent!" ”

Sharif replied with a wry smile: "Originally, we just caught a thief, but our people were so emotional that they accidentally killed someone, and then the refugees from Jason Manor rushed in, and they kicked the campfire apart, and the sparks ignited the dry haystacks, and the chaos grew bigger and bigger, and it became like this." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"How so!" Xiao Yi yelled angrily: "Then don't go and separate them!" ”

Christine spread his hands and said helplessly: "They have gone crazy, we let the militia try to separate them, and the result is that one militia was killed on the spot by the angry refugees, three were seriously injured, and the rest retreated, I asked them to protect the tent." ”

"Help, sir!" Suddenly, a terrible cry was heard, and Edie was running from a distance in disheveled clothes, followed by several refugees with sticks.

A guard hurriedly took two steps forward, pointed at the pursuing refugees with his long sword, and threatened them to stay away from here, before carrying Edie to Xiao Yi.

Before Edie could cry, Xiao Yi kicked him over and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on!" How could killing a thief cause such a catastrophe! ”

I can't help but be angry, what is he doing all this way for? It's not just to gather some refugees, and when the heart of the castle is settled in the future, it can be developed immediately, but now? Everywhere else he looked, there were at least twenty corpses!

Although it is not necessarily their own people, the loss of manpower is certain, not to mention other losses, it is estimated that there will not be much left after tonight, which makes Xiao Yi not angry!

Edie was frightened, and he sobbed and said, "I was going to let you deal with the thief, but he actually spoke out and insulted Carl who had captured him." ”

"Carl's head is not good, he scolded people when he saw him stealing things, and he beat him to death in a fit of anger, at this time, the people outside began to storm our camp as promised, and the militia did not stop them, they started to grab things, and some people resisted, and then a fight started."

Premeditated attack! This was Xiao Yi's first thought, and then he thought of Bliss, the owner of Jason's farm, could it be that he provoked the refugees? Immediately, Xiao Yi denied his thoughts.

Bliss doesn't have that guts yet, unlike Claire, Bliss and Xiao Yi have no direct conflict, and he has no shortage of refugees at all with the farm in hand, so he won't do such a thankless job at all!

Xiao Yi, who couldn't figure it out, sighed, and then the militia escorted the old man and the frightened little Lori to meet him.

At this time, the camp had become a pot of porridge, and Xiao Yi had no way to stop this riot, even if he sent the most elite guards, he could only wait for these refugees to make enough trouble, and wait for their blood to cool down.

During this period, he could only try to rein in those weak people who were not involved.

"Hey-" Xiao Yi sighed again, and said to the old man with a wry smile: "I just want to take everyone to a safe place, Uncle Barrett, why did you say this happened!" ”

The old man's name is Barrett Evan, and he is a servant of the Tower of Azura, while little Lori is a descendant of a mage in the Tower of Azura. When the orcs invaded the Elwyn Forest, the Tower of Azura resisted for a long time. Until a group of orcs who use evil magic arrive, and they summon demons from the void. Seeing the precarious line of defense, the mage had no choice but to use teleportation to send the old servant and his granddaughter to Shining Gold Town.

In fact, the mage wanted Barrett to take his granddaughter to hide in Stormwind City, but at that time Stormwind City was already under martial law, and refugees were not allowed to enter, and soon traces of orcs were also found near Shining Gold Town, and in desperation, the old man had to flee to the Western Wilderness with his little master, and finally met Xiao Yi in Xiquan Fortress.

The old man sighed, after these days of getting along, he found that this young nobleman was an upright and benevolent person, especially the care of himself and the little master along the way, he didn't say anything, but he was still very grateful in his heart.

"You are a man of noble character." In a hoarse voice, he said, "You are very kind, and at the same time you are an upright young man, and if you inherit the territory peacefully, your people will be very happy." ”

He paused, then continued, "But this is not your territory, and you are not the obedient people you rule!" When you are merciful, they only see your weakness and can be bullied. ”

"This will always be a bloody world, if you want to rule them well, then only by using oppression, and only oppression can make these stupid and selfish pariahs obedient, otherwise you will be pulled into the abyss by your mercy!" The old man's tone was flat, and he ended with a suggestion: "Whether it was instigated or not, there must always be a person responsible for this accident, and his blood must be used to let these untouchables know what obedience is!" ”

He looked beyond the rioting refugees to the wooden hut that had been lit up. There, Jason Farmer Brice was looking through the window.

After a night of chaos, it wasn't until dawn that the refugees had finished their energy, and the camp was in shambles. The carts were overturned, valuables were taken, and useless garbage was left everywhere. The haystacks, which had long been burned out, slowly drifted into the air with the help of the breeze.

Blood everywhere and corpses of all kinds are enough to make people mistakenly think that this is hell! The elderly, children, and women are the most numerous, and these weak people are always the first to be unlucky in disasters.

The refugees who have finished venting, some of them are holding the corpses on the ground and crying bitterly, some are indifferent, only caring about what they have grabbed, and some are lying there, with their eyes open and not knowing what to think, if it weren't for the undulating chest, others would definitely think that he was dead, and more people who grabbed things and wanted to leave.

But they found that the guards and militiamen, who had not been seen all night, had surrounded the place, and they had brought their swords out of their sheaths with torches, and pointed their swords at themselves, and if someone approached the encirclement, the sharp sword would not hesitate to pierce his body, and then push the body back into the encirclement.

In the face of the organized armed forces, these mobs, who had calmed down, obediently knelt on the ground, threw away the booty in their hands, raised their hands to show that they were harmless, and no one dared to resist.

Looking at these refugees who behaved very docilely, Xiao Yi really couldn't imagine that they were crazy and bloodthirsty not long ago, and they were able to brutally beat women to death with wooden sticks. They pushed the old man into the fire and laughed as if they were watching a clown perform.

Now when facing the irresistible force, he trembled under the sharp blade, which made Xiao Yi involuntarily think of the old man's words: "When you are merciful, they only see weakness!" ”
