Chapter 41: The Leader

The pirates were so shocked that they almost forgot that they were still in a battle when they saw a small group of people coming out of the ranks of refugees picking up their weapons next to the bodies of their companions and killing them as if they were not afraid of death.

They couldn't break through the four-man defense line led by Finn, and now they were suddenly attacked by these people, and they didn't expect things to turn out like this.

These unarmed civilians should have been just a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and they should have been slaughtered at will! - the pirates thought to themselves.

However, the pirates under the command of Redbeard Jackson suddenly found that the cowardly lambs they had in their impression had somehow become ferocious, as if awakened by some kind of revelation.

They are united in everything, from sheep to wolves, opening their mouths to show their fangs of resistance, spewing anger from their eye sockets, opening their teeth and dancing their claws, about to bite!

The sound of a clash of swords resounded, and the refugees fought alongside Finn, some even crossed Finn's side and took the initiative to fight the pirates.

The morale of the pirates plummeted like a landslide, and soon fell to the bottom.

Eventually, the bandits from Misty Isle began to be unable to resist the attack, so the group of people who were still alive threw down the bodies of their companions, and fled in the direction of Minato. The dozen or so refugees who took the initiative to participate in the battle looked at the embarrassed backs of the pirates, raised the captured scimitars in their hands proudly, and shouted at their defeated generals from a distance and cursed words that sounded unsightly, as if at this moment they had finally spit out the evil anger that they had endured in their hearts for several years.

At this point, those who did not stand up from the ranks to join the battle had round eyes.

Ever since the fame of Jackson the Red Bearded spread across the southern coast of St. Fren, they had played the role of sheep to be slaughtered, and never thought of pulling off the ships and trampling on the pirates they hated and feared.

However, just now, a group of them, led by the young man with a giant sword, actually routed a pirate army under Jackson's command?

And none of them died, only a few were slightly wounded, and they achieved an almost perfect victory?

This......

It dawned on the refugees that this kind of thing had always been possible for them!

The root cause of the slaughter was not that the red-bearded Jackson was invincible, but that they never thought of sounding the horn of resistance against the so-called fate.

Until today.

"Wait, that young man is a paladin?!" Amid the post-war celebrations, a keen voice suddenly spotted the inconspicuous old badge on Finn's chest.

The voice came out of a man's mouth, and the rest of the refugees were immediately attracted by the message and turned their eyes to Finn.

For a moment, more than a dozen refugees who had participated in the war surrounded Finn, and their eyes were full of a glimmer of anticipation.

Half a day——

"Paladin-sama, please lead us." The man who first discovered Finn's identity was looking at the former, and was the first to plead, "My brothers were killed by Redbeard, and I want to avenge my family." ”

As soon as his words fell, someone else immediately responded: "My house was originally in the port area, but it was set on fire by that group of guys last year, count me." ”

"Those bastards who owe knives." Someone snorted and scolded.

"Owed a knife to cut, well described." When a man heard this, he immediately raised his scimitar in his hand.

Finn looked at the group of people who surrounded him, and his eyes first showed disbelief, but then he immediately smiled with relief.

"My lord, it looks like everyone is willing to follow you." Arroyo looked around at the people, put his two daggers back into their sheaths and looked at Finn, "At least for now. ”

"Hmm...... To be honest, I'm a little flattered. Finn looked at the lovely group of people with excitement and swallowed a little nervously.

From the beginning, he just hoped that his bloody actions could buy time for these innocent refugees to escape, but he never thought that he could ignite the blood in the hearts of these people.

It was a complete bonus.

Still, that's fine.

After all, the power of one person is limited, but the potential created by a group of people is immeasurable.

Humans are such special creatures, they are born without the dexterity of elves, the longevity of dwarves, the strength of orcs, the agility of halflings, and the nobility of dragons.

This force is like the will of the god of war, Wall, like the thunderous chariot under the throne of the god, crushing everything, unstoppable, invincible, such as the Violet ancestor King Atrik led the knights of the kingdom to open up territory in the treacherous wasteland, and the emperor Alexios I of Faentan drove the invincible elves from the coast of the St. Furon Sea back to the Far South Forest, so that the overlords of the Third Age had to admit that humans were the protagonists of the Fourth Age.

So, Finn looked at these people, suppressed the excitement in his heart, dragged the heavy blade of the greatsword to the ground with his right hand, and took off the badge on his chest with his left hand and raised it above his head.

Holding aloft the badge of the Holy Warrior, he looked at the group in front of him and declared, "Gaztex is above...... By swearing the glory bestowed upon our God, I promise you victory. ”

There was a pause in the words, the people stopped clamouring and held their breath, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on him, and the scene suddenly became surprisingly quiet, and the sound of the rain in the night could only set off this static even more impressive.

"Now, I have a plan." Fein adjusted his breathing, looked around at the crowd standing with him in the rain, and continued, "I need a small team of people to accompany me, about a dozen of them, and the rest will evacuate to the south gate first. ”

At the end, he did not forget to add: "Of course, for the quality of the team, the personnel participating in this operation must be personally selected by me, and the rest of the people who have just participated in the battle will act as temporary security guards and withdraw with the refuge team to the south gate." Does anyone have objections? ”

"I have a problem." In the middle of the night, a hand with a leather bracer was raised from the crowd.

Hearing this, Finn looked at the owner of the hand with the eyes of the people, and then found that the person who said this was the young swordsman with the curved sword, Raymond.

The future Sword Master lowered his hand, looked into Finn's eyes and asked, "What are you gathering a few elites for?" ”

"To get to our planned destination." Finn looked at him calmly and explained, "It's a rainy night and those bastards from the sea can't afford to carry torches, so we can use the night and rain to navigate the town's alleys. ”

"So, where is that destination you're planning?" Raymond asked.

"City Hall." Finn replied, "But until then, we'll have to call in some more reinforcements." ”
