Chapter 16: Gnoll People Again?
Needing manpower to protect the camp, Sharif ended up with only Linton and two strong militiamen, who were to split up to explore what to eat to the west and north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the leader of the refugees who occupied the vineyard appeared in front of Xiao Yi again, he came for Xiao Yi's help to the refugee children, but not to thank him.
Xiao Yi met him in one of the largest wooden houses in the Grape Circle, and Xiao Yi brought only one guard, Patton, who wielded a two-handed sword, and the other party had some armed refugees in addition to the refugee leader.
"My name, Honorable Lord, is Briss Jason." First of all, the other party introduced himself: "The owner of this manor." ”
"Xiao Yi Falken, a nobleman." Xiao Yi nodded to him.
Looking at the heavily armed and sturdy knight standing quietly behind Xiao Yi, Bliss swallowed his saliva and said with a dry mouth: "Kind adult, thank you very much for your alms for the children, but I hope you can stop doing this." ”
Xiao Yi squinted at this man, his size was not tall, he did not have the feeling of being tall and strong like the European race, he was very thin, but his arms were very thick, probably because he was good at using bows and arrows.
"Do I need your old guidance for what I do?"
Xiao Yi was very angry, he naturally knew why, although there were some orphans in that group of children, most of them had parents. After they finished eating, most of the children left the camp without Xiao Yi driving them away, leaving only 6 children.
Although Xiao Yi did not provide relief to adult refugees, the parents of these children must be grateful to him, although this practice cannot shake Briss's position for the time being, and Xiao Yi will leave soon, but Briss is not at ease.
Because he had heard rumors that some people seemed to be going to follow Xiao Yi to leave, because life in this manor was difficult and his safety was not guaranteed.
Every night there are people dying because of this and that, and there are predatory beasts in the vicinity, and people who live in houses are fine, and refugees who live in haystacks, or simply sleep in the open air, often lose their lives in their sleep!
Not to mention that there's a gnoll tribe nearby! They often return to the vineyards to plunder, and although these humans are poor to the bone, the jackals are not picky eaters.
And a nobleman with a strong guard also has precious food! Undoubtedly a good choice. This makes Briss feel threatened, even though Jason Farm is his family's property.
But the Elwin Forest has not been peaceful lately, and this year's wine has not been pulled away by merchants, but a large number of refugees have poured into the western wilderness, if it weren't for his love of hunting and his good archery skills, he would have been robbed by these mobs! Then become one of them!
As a farmer, he knew that one man could never be the enemy of ten people, so after subduing the robbers, he decisively took in these people, fed the powerful among them, and then drove the weak ones and took in more of the strong ones, so as to gain great strength to defend against the malicious mobs.
It worked, and while large numbers of refugees passed through Jason's Farm and headed deep into the Wild West in search of hope for survival, none of them dared to fight the idea of Jason's Farm!
He then easily found someone to take care of his vineyard at a ridiculously low price, believing that the lords of Stormwind would need wine at any given time.
But Xiao Yi is different from those refugees, he has a powerful army, which is not at all comparable to the thugs with farm tools on his side! A large number of well-armed knights, as well as an equal number of soldiers, is enough to wipe out the capital that you are proud of, and there will be nothing to lose!
So he gathered a few of his most capable subordinates and planned to negotiate with Xiao Yi!
However, Xiao Yi's answer made him angry, no one dared to talk to him like this for a long time, which of those refugees was not obedient to himself?
Before he could attack, as soon as Xiao Yi's words fell, Barton, who had been standing behind him, stepped forward and slammed his two-handed big sword to the ground, and the sharp big sword pierced through the wooden floor, making a dull sound.
He glanced at the Briss with an indifferent gaze, and the great sword that had never had a scabbard reflected a cold light, just like the gaze of its owner, cold and deadly!
Swept by Patton's gaze, the mob who was still standing behind Bliss and showing off their might suddenly trembled and lowered their heads one after another, and a timid crotch had been wet, exuding the smell of urine.
This also made Briss break out in a cold sweat, and then he remembered that Xiao Yi was not a refugee who had passed by before, but a powerful nobleman! What qualifications do you have to negotiate with others?
Refugees, just go, anyway, as long as there is food, as much as you want, why set up a strong enemy for yourself for a few lowly refugees?
After figuring it out, Bliss was convinced, but his subordinates were behind him, and if he was soft, it was estimated that he would not be able to lead in the future, so he couldn't get off the stage for a while, and stood there with an embarrassed face.
"Hmph-" Seeing the frightened look on Bliss's face, but he held on, his legs trembled like a sieve, Xiao Yi snorted disdainfully, and walked out of the room directly, after Barton glanced at them coldly, his iron gloved hand directly held the sword body, and followed Xiao Yi out.
Time passed slowly, and the refugees were told that they would spend the night at the estate, and the refugees had turned the clearing into a camp. Although it was simple, it still used the only tent to make a place for Xiao Yi.
At this time, the refugees who have nothing to do lie in their grass nests, watching the sunset dye the clouds red, lying still is the best way to save energy, after all, the next meal will not be until tomorrow afternoon.
Food shortages meant that the refugees could only eat one meal a day, and it was a very thin rye porridge.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, attracting some refugees, but most remained unmoved, and it was only when the vigilante militia began to rush there that the refugees, who were part of the group, got up and watched.
Soon, several militiamen carrying an earthy yellow wild boar with fangs appeared in view, and the whole camp boiled, and both men and women, adults and children, crowded forward to watch.
This boar is very large, half a man tall! Several militiamen worked together to carry it, and they all felt struggling. Its skull was a blur of flesh and blood, and at a glance it was clear that it was caused by the blow of a heavy object, and the wound on the left shoulder caused by the throwing axe was hideous and terrifying.
Ignoring the sharp fangs of the wild boar, almost every refugee reached out and touched it, and even some people proudly showed off to the people around them after having blood on their hands.
The only way to inflict such damage on the wild boar is Linton, who uses the meteor hammer and makes good use of the flying axe, and after handing over the wild boar to the militia, he immediately found Xiao Yi to report the situation with the blood-stained meteor hammer.
After listening to Linton's report, Xiao Yi couldn't help shouting: "It's a gnoll again!?" ”
