Chapter 71. The enemy appears
When the group entered the small building on the second floor of the farm, the middle-aged housekeeper who led the way was still quite angry, especially when he was holding the letter brought by Hawk in his hand, and his face was a little iron-clad. And the people around him also looked worried and worried, and there were even a few young people in the corner, looking at Hawke and their eyes were red.
In the entire two-story building, there were about thirteen or fourteen people, except for the butler who walked in with Hawke, the others were already young men in their twenties. There were also a few chubby middle-aged ladies, and Hawk glanced around at the people around him, and he could almost call them aunt.
Not many people saw Hawke smile happily, and even when they saw Hawke coming, everyone looked at the butler. For this group of people, it was obvious that the butler could still decide the matter here, although Hawke was Mr. Jax's nephew, but looking at his age, everyone knew that he was too young.
"Kid, didn't Mr. Yax tell you about the situation here?"
The middle-aged housekeeper's face was heavy, and he glanced around at the people around him, and everyone's eyes were not optimistic. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, turned his gaze to Hawke, and moved his lips to say something, but he still sighed and said, "It's a mistake for you to come here, the situation here is dangerous. ”
The middle-aged housekeeper should be in his thirties and forties, with a Chinese face on his burly body, a bush of beard on his chin, and a little sharp when he looks at people. Probably has received complete militia training, not only holding a spear in his hand, but also wearing a set of slightly modified leather armor, even with a short sword in the leather sheath at his waist, it looks like he has good combat effectiveness.
"Of course, I do." Hawke looked at the middle-aged butler with a certain embarrassed smile on his face, and he certainly understood why these people had a solemn and lost face. Scratching his nose slightly, Hawke tapped on his wooden box and said with a smile, "That's why I said that what I brought is what you need most!" ”
These employees are all guys whom Uncle Yax's uncle spent a lot of money on, and even hired by contract. Now that their lives are in danger, they have not yet evacuated because of the restrictions of the contract, and when they reach some real dangerous situation, they have every reason to evacuate, because the contract has already stated that when their lives are endangered, they can leave without being restricted by the laws of the Purple Tulip Principality.
After all, the reclamation town is the latest town, and although it can barely be cultivated, the real danger still exists. This is not a peaceful border, but the most dangerous northern border in the country. Even though the countless primeval forests and mountains of the reclamation town blocked the footsteps of foreign invasions, the bits and pieces of aborigines and bandits still lurked in the natural hidden places, like poisonous snakes, ready to prepare their sharp teeth and venom.
"Kid, you don't seem to understand what's going on."
The man sighed slightly, looking at Hawke, who was still weak, although the faint figure was definitely a healthy and well-dressed teenager, but it was still a little impossible to deal with that terrifying alien race. The middle-aged butler frowned tightly, as if he was making some decision, and just said softly, "We should retreat to Reclamation Town." ”
The proposal was immediately approved by everyone, but they all looked at Hawke, for they were well aware that the letter Hawke had brought with him had been instructed. This young boy, Hawke, was the manager of the farm appointed by his uncle, Mr. Jax.
Although they had a contract, it was not the wretched serfs who were bound to the land alive, but their contract was also very clear, unless there was a real danger that the farm would be breached again, there was not much reason for them to flee directly into the safe fortress of the reclamation town. Otherwise, even if you escape and cause the farm to be occupied, you will eventually be punished by law.
"I don't think I need to, I'm in a position to keep you safe."
Hawke touched the tip of his nose, looked at the distrustful eyes of all the people, and couldn't help but smile more embarrassedly, but just outside the door, two snow-white figures slowly walked in, and the vigorous figures made everyone in the room can't help but clench their weapons, and carefully stiffen their bodies.
It was two ice wolves, about one-fifth larger than the wolves they knew, and even each of them faintly felt that as these two ice wolves entered the room, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop a little.
"But only these two wolves may not be able to stop the group of goblin robbers and orc bandits..."
The middle-aged lady from before still sighed, glanced at the two ice wolves, and then swept her gaze over Hawke, before she looked at the previous steward, frowned and said softly: "If we don't take advantage of the fact that there are no enemies to come now, and hurry back to the walls of the reclamation town, then I think we will be the same as the few employees who were loading grain last night." ”
Last night's incident was that Uncle Jax's caravan was loaded with food and wanted to return to Black Lake City, but before he left the farm, he had already been rushed into the yard by the goblins, and they relied on a specially reinforced floor to repel all the goblins, otherwise they would have rushed in.
But even so, the four or five employees who did not escape into the house in time have been frantically caught by the group of goblins, at least four or five hundred goblins are mixed together, clutching their own bone weapons, and even have the appearance of a regular army, which makes this group of employees have some fear in their hearts!
You must know that the goblins in the past were the most humble and obscene beings on the road, except that the livestock was still lower than them, and almost this group of goblins who once had a glorious history had already been reduced to the status of beasts.
But in fact, the goblins have not been reduced to the status of beasts, and it has something to do with their unpalatable meat, which is full of bones and bones, plus the smell of sour meat, almost even if they are carnivorous beasts, unless they are very hungry, they will not eat them easily, of course, they will still think that they are invading their territory, and they will directly wave their claws and teeth to kill them all.
"No, no, no, ladies and gentlemen, maybe you've forgotten something."
Looking at the people who didn't listen to their opinions, Hawke couldn't help but sigh helplessly, looked at all of them, directly opened the wooden box beside him, reached into his hand to hold the soft deerskin scabbard, and instantly took it out and put it in his hand, looked at the people around him, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet." ”
The people around him instantly looked at Hawke, especially at the infantry dagger in his hand and the equipment in the wooden box, and their eyes suddenly showed a slight look of surprise. They are all people who understand, especially after coming to Reclamation Town for a short time, they are still quite familiar with these weapons and equipment.
"I'm a warrior from Miner Town, well, a level 4 warrior."
A smile appeared on Hawke's face, looking at the people in front of him, the confident smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more upturned, and the momentum of a certain bloodline was slowly released by him, forming a faint but really felt aura. He whispered, "Perhaps, even higher." ”
The surrounding employees suddenly showed a shocked gaze, and looked at Hawk in disbelief, they all knew the level of the warrior. Almost the fourth-level warriors are already about to comprehend the existence of the Dou Qi Seed, and those guys are all in their twenties and thirties, or even older, how can they be a child who is only a teenager?!
"Who the hell are you, God of Light?!"
The middle-aged steward swallowed heavily, stared at Hawke with wide eyes, and took a deep breath, the shock in his heart even made him unable to think of anything. Although he is a standard first-class fighter, he can feel like facing the most terrifying enemy after Hawke releases his aura, and even has some kind of urge to weaken his legs!
This is unless the strong man of the war knight has the power of fighting spirit, which can bring him shock, the middle-aged steward smiled reluctantly, coughed a little twice, and first introduced himself: "I am the steward here, you can call me Wharton." As he spoke, he pointed to the others, and also introduced, "They and I are both freedmen hired by Mr. Jax. ”
The people around him also nodded slightly, looking at Hawke to show their attitude. After all, Hawke is Mr. Yax's nephew, and the momentum that is wrapped around his body now still makes them feel a sense of fright, which can't help them, and they don't have a certain sense of surrender to Hawke.
"When-when-when-"
But before everyone around them could introduce themselves, suddenly there were three rapid metal knocks on the roof, and with a burst of messy footsteps sounded on the house, a young man in his twenties climbed down the stairs with a wooden bow in his hand, his eyes wide and with a certain fear, and said loudly: "Enemy! There are a large number of enemies on our way! ”
ps: After thinking about it, let's save the manuscript, cough cough, it will be on the shelves on Friday, these 3,000 words are still for everyone to satisfy a little appetite, and I will explode after it is put on the shelves, wait and see! Ahaha,Now there are five chapters in the manuscript.,At least don't worry about breaking the update after it's on the shelves.,Well,Witty me!
ps: I still recommend my good oil novel "The Heart of the Sage", everyone thinks this book is not enjoyable, you can go and see him, although it is a virtual online game and a pseudo-DND novel, but the combination has a kind of "Heart of Canaan" meaning~
