"Shut up!" A voice tinged with anger rang out.

"Oh?" The fat man Pigno bit the toothpick in his mouth tightly, a smile of anger appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned to the direction from which the voice came.

"Every word you say is an insult to all those who have died for Ionia!" Lolita's fists clenched tightly, trembling a little from being overly emotional.

"Lolita!" Lolita's grandfather panicked and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, but Lolita struggled to break free. Lolita rushed out of the crowd and shouted angrily at the fat man Pigno standing in front of him: "Dead fat man, you listen to me!" ”

"I will never allow you ・・・・・・ insult the warriors who died for Ionia! Bandits like you, you evil Black Cross bandits, all deserve to go to hell! ”

"Pap, papa, papa" crisp applause rang out, and Pigno cast an appreciative look at Lolita, "Courage is commendable, very backbone, kid." It's a pity that you have committed two of my taboos. ”

The fat man Pigno raised a white and chubby finger, took a step and walked slowly towards Lolita: "First, you have insulted the donations made for the reconstruction of the three southern provinces into a banditry, which makes us extremely cold. ”

"Second," the fat man Pigno stood in front of Lolita and held out two fingers to her, still smiling on his face, but a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, "How dare you call me a dead fat man!" This is the biggest taboo in my life! ”

Raising his hand, Pigno's large palm slammed towards Lolita's left side of the face, bringing up a strong wind that showed the power of this palm. Without any scruples, it was only a twelve-year-old girl in front of him, and Pigno, who had been poked in the sore spot, shot out with hatred, and this angry blow contained all his strength.

If the power of this palm actually fell on Lolita's face, I am afraid that half of her teeth would be shattered. This palm came so suddenly, no one would have thought that an adult would do such a poisonous act on a twelve-year-old girl, not even Lolita herself.

At this moment, no one can save Lolita, except ・・・・・・ herself.

In the midst of the crisis, Lolita's natural fighting instinct exploded under the great threat, and before her consciousness could react, her body had already made instinctive movements, and her hands protected her head to an unprecedented degree. In the next second, the fat man's attack had arrived.

"Bang!" With a violent impact, Lolita's young body was tossed up with great force, falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string, splashing a few handfuls of dust.

Quiescence.

Deathly silence.

"Lolita!" His heart twitched, and the village chief let out a cry of grief with a pale face, rushed through the crowd and rushed to Lolita's side and hugged her carefully, his hands trembling slightly.

"Grandpa, it hurts!" Lying in the arms of her closest people, Lolita, who has always been strong, couldn't help crying, and bean-sized tears continued to slide down from the corners of her eyes.

"Livestock!"

"I'm fighting with you!"

"The big deal is to fight for this life, I'm afraid of a ball!"

Seeing this, the villagers, who had already been on fire, were excited, and the men picked up the hoes, axes, and sickles that they had thrown on the ground before, and roared angrily and rushed towards the fat man Pigno, who was gritting toothpicks and smiling disdainfully.

"Phew," said Pigno, spitting off the toothpick in his mouth, and muttering to himself, "Do you want to break the precept that you must not kill?" But an excited smile subconsciously appeared on his face.

"Stop!"

With a loud shout, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the way of the villagers. The villagers stopped, looking incredulously at the familiar figure in front of them.

"Can't do it・・・・・・" The village chief, Lolita's grandfather stood in front of the villagers with his drooping old body, his skinny hands trembled with anger, but he tried his best to suppress the grief and anger on his face, "Don't forget what happened in Sakura Village at the beginning!" ”

The villagers were stunned when they heard this, and their faces showed painful struggles.

The village chief said about the matter of Sakura Village, and everyone present knew that it caused quite a stir in the entire three southern provinces. The cause of the incident is somewhat similar to today's situation, the Black Cross bandit group that claims to be a charity relief society went to Sakura Village to collect "donations", and the head of Sakura Village did not want the villagers to bear a huge burden, so he took the lead in resisting the Black Cross, and the villagers confronted the Black Cross people with temporary weapons, and rejected the Black Cross with a very resolute attitude.

As a result, to the surprise of many people, the people of the Black Cross did not use force against the villagers, but quietly withdrew from Sakura Village, and the matter of "donations" naturally stopped. That night, all the villagers of Sakura Village held a grand banquet for this purpose, and then they were full of pride when they talked about it with the people of the neighboring villages.

One day, Sakura Village was destroyed.

Most of the houses in the village have been damaged, and none of the villagers have survived, including infant babies and livestock raised by the villagers. The whole village was littered with mutilated corpses, dried up and brown blood stains covered the entire village land, and there was a disgusting stench everywhere.

Ionian officials sent someone to investigate the matter, and after carefully searching the ruins of the village, the investigator came to the conclusion that "Sakura Village was destroyed by a wild beast attack in a berserk state", and it cannot be ruled out that there are traces of magic manipulation behind it. After this was reported, the matter was closed and became one of the officially recognized unsolved cases.

Although, almost all the people of the three southern provinces have guessed the truth of the facts.

At this moment, when the villagers of Windmill Village were unwilling to endure the oppression and wanted to rise up and resist, their elderly village chief stood in front of them alone to help them recall the Sakura Village incident. And the only relative of the village chief was still lying on the side in pain at the moment, desperately trying to suppress the moans that he couldn't help but let out because of the excessive pain.

The village chief stood in front of the villagers with open arms, his eyes swept over everyone's faces through his cloudy eyes, which contained the grief and helplessness that everyone could understand.

"Bang dang." A bearded middle-aged man lowered his head, his clenched right hand loosened, and the axe in his hand fell to the ground. As if causing a chain reaction, the sound of "Bang Dang" and "Bang Dang" continued to sound, and when the last villager threw away his weapon, the village chief turned to face the fat man Pigno and looked at him with a blank face. Behind him, all the villagers of the windmill village stood together, their eyes locked on Pigno with various emotions.

"After donating, please get out of here." The words came out of the village chief's mouth, but they almost took his last bit of strength.

"Of course we'll leave when the donations are over." Fat Pigno smiled, took out a toothpick from his arms again and bit it into his mouth, and looked mockingly at all the villagers of Windmill Village in front of him, "But before then, we still have one more thing to do. ”

Stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and then pointed his finger to Lolita lying on the ground, the fat man Pigno gritted his toothpick and tilted his head to stare at the village chief: "We have a suspected remnant of Noxus, and we need to bring it back for investigation." ”

"That's right." The village chief sighed heavily.

Behind them, the men of the windmill village bent down to pick up their weapons, glanced back at the rest of the village behind them, and smiled at their parents, wives, and children—the kind of smile that appeared on everyone's face.

The fat man Pigno tilted his head and looked at everyone in front of him proudly, and the members of the Black Cross dressed in black came up and stood behind him one by one, looking at the villagers of the windmill village in front of him with pity.

"This is the rumored Black Cross bandits?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, and the calm contained indifference that made people unable to calm down.

Just when the atmosphere in the windmill village was stagnant and imminent, Fang Yan's hut in the suburbs welcomed a guest with a strange blindfold.

"Here we are." The man stood outside the house and whispered, "However, Xiao Yan doesn't seem to be at home, and the fire inside doesn't seem to be burning, is he going out?" ”

After thinking for a moment, the man looked in the direction of the windmill village in the distance: "It's not a way to wait here, let's go to the village and ask first to see if anyone knows Xiao Yan's whereabouts." ”

Habitually touching the sword tied to his waist, the man strode in the direction of the windmill village.
