In fact, Lindenvin overestimated the speed of the Violce authorities' reaction, and the Governor's Palace in Landafrie has not received any news about the pirates until now. Now that the empire has gradually shrunk and is busy with infighting, Vielse, a frontier land, naturally loves to do something.

The local tribes were in their own way, and the governor's decree could hardly come out of the capital city of Landafri, as long as the rich landowners did not rebel openly and paid tribute on time, the governor's palace turned a blind eye.

In this case, can the Violce authorities have the speed of reaction? Lin Dengwan really thought too much.

The magistrate of Altoria was not leading the militia to defend against pirates, she was only leading the militia to investigate other incidents, but she received a cry from the fleeing caravan halfway through.

"Your Excellency! There's a whole bunch of robbers coming from Klamorgan! ”

"How many are there?"

"Hundreds...... Hundreds! ”

Artoria knew the local traders, who had only been around Vierce and had never seen anything big, and it was fitting to describe the hillbillies as "fussy and short-sighted".

Because of the super-stable rule of the empire, Vierce achieved a long period of peace, and the small merchants and peddlers who had never seen much of the world would panic when they encountered something bigger. As long as the number exceeds twenty, this group of weak small merchants will expand their numbers indefinitely. It is not at all surprising that it is blown into hundreds of thousands.

Listening to the exaggerated complaints of these peasant merchants was part of her daily routine, with a wild dog being blown into a pack of hungry wolves, a few tramps stealing chickens and dogs being blown into a horde of robbers, and a large vampire bat being blown into a dragon......

Maybe the people of this island nation should go into finance, no matter how big the bubble is, they can blow it up.

Anyway, the farmer and the small merchant are going to use alarmism to get the sheriff to solve the problem for them quickly. Over time, Artoria also learned how to subtract and divide the words of these people.

This time, she estimated that it was just a dozen homeless people gathered together to block the road and rob. Although her mission is not to clean up these rogues, it is also a good choice to take a team of two centurians to do a task and brush up on reputation or something.

But she forgot that although the sheep herder shouted that the wolf was coming every day, and in the end no one believed his words, but the wolf who should have come would always come. Mindset is really going to kill people.

"This sucks...... Ronna, you have the best stamina. Hurry to Landafri to report that a large number of robbers are advancing along the avenue. This is an urgent military aircraft, sent directly to the Governor's Palace! ”

Artoria sealed a letter of credit, stamped it with her seal, and handed it to a young man in magic armor. The young man was pardoned, and he took the urgent mail and ran away.

The reason why the errand runner was allowed to deliver the letter to the Doge's Palace was because the Kingdom of Vierce was a vassal state and had no regular armed forces. Although the militia and the garrison regiment were also recruited from the locals, their establishment was still in the battle sequence of the empire, and they were naturally under the unified jurisdiction of the governor's office. The sheriff was also nominally an imperial civil servant, but in the town he was a big man on an equal footing with the mayor.

As for the armed forces of the various tribes, the Governor's Mansion should be regarded as a joint defense force or something, and it is okay to turn a blind eye.

"Alec, you're the fastest, go to town and ring the alarm right now, and then find the mayor. Let him open up the arsenal and let all who can wear magic armor wear magic armor, and assist the transfer of women, children, old and young! ”

There are only a handful of "spearman" magic armor in town, but some is better than nothing.

"Yes!"

This Alec seems to be braver than Rona who runs away, he at least stands upright, nods his head fiercely, and then runs away quickly, at least a little bit of a soldier's frame.

"The rest of ......"

Artoria choked in the middle of her words, and the bandits on the other side began to let out a war cry, a loud roar that echoed between heaven and earth with a desire for battle, with an expectation of killing. This is not a bluff, but a prelude to the battle of a group of fierce barbarians.

The soldiers behind her began to fear, and the confusion and retreat in their eyes could not have been more obvious. It is already completely impossible to count on these guys to fight. All she could do was ......

"Don't panic! Don't panic! I'm here! I'll lead the charge! I'll break it for you! Believe me, you'll make it back alive! ”

The magic armor that rose from the magic circle covered her body. This "Crusader" type magic armor is the same as the "spearman" and "big-eared monster" type magic armor, which is a close-fitting magic armor, which does not make her look very powerful.

But this did not hinder her determination and will to resist the enemy's invasion, she calmed down, felt the flow of magic on this set of magic armor with her heart, and adjusted the state of each of her muscles.

Put the shield behind her back and hold the long sword in both hands, this is the tactic she learned in the emperor's ** camp - charge, indomitable, at the cost of abandoning defense, inflicting the most damage to the enemy.

The appeal of "comrades follow me" and "brothers stand up to me" are completely different, and Artoria clearly knows this. She stood at the forefront of the team, blocking countless militiamen behind her, looking like "something is coming at me" as if she were at home.

Seeing the sheriff so willing to die, the militia gradually calmed down. For some reason, this woman brought courage and confidence that evoked them. Just looking at her unhesitating figure, the militiamen could remember what they were guarding behind them - their wives, their children, their possessions, their fields.

What's more, the big man is actually hiding behind a woman! What a thing!

According to Artoria's speculation, the opposing army will not have more than 200 people in magic armor, and they are all single-soldier level "big-eared monsters", whose performance is worse than that of the militia, while they have two centuriens on their side, with a total of 180 militiamen. Just looking at the comparison of combat power, it is not much worse.

As for the heavy or main battle magic armor, Artoria didn't think about it, who would be a bandit with that thing! Even if a few mutated robbers have high-grade magic armor, how could they just touch her?

Not to mention, some things are just so coincidental, and she has encountered more than just bandits with high-level magic armor.

"Sluggish ......"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Dengwan threw out the "retardation technique". "Retardation" is just the most basic spell in earth-based magic, and although it is a bit wasteful to only cast "Retardation" on Artoria alone, the effect is really outstanding.

Even though the Single Slowdown Technique is not a high-level magic, the psychological blow to the militia is enormous. Heroes are the only ones who can use magic so skillfully.

"I, Artoria will do what he says, and after I break off, you will withdraw ......"

Before she could say the word "withdraw", she saw that the militia behind her had dispersed, and the well-made spears had been thrown to the ground.

"They have a hero!"

"Run! Split up! ”

This was the case when they dispersed, and the militia scattered in all directions, and soon only Artoria remained.

To be honest, she didn't make a move after she kept going, because Lin Dengwan's slowness ** made her unable to run.

"Poofhahahaha!"

"A bunch of cowardly rats!"

"That girl is very energetic, it must be ...... to do it"

These ridicules made her grit her teeth but there was nothing she could do, she knew that she had fallen into blood mold today, and she had to explain it here. Artoria even considered himself involved in the power struggle of the Empire.

There are no heroes in the surrounding small tribes at all; Even if a big tribe has such a hero, most of them exist as a heavy weapon of the town, and they will not be sent out at all. And the only one who can send heroes out generously is the wealthy imperial center. All forces are trying their best to win over these "extras", and these greedy guys are also joining in the power struggle for their own rights.

The army marched north along the avenue, and the destination was Landavery in the capital of Viel, and it was clear that the hero of Vielce, Lady Leke, had left the camp to deal with the matter of the election of the king of Vielz, and wanted to take advantage of this gap to usurp the power of the governor of Violse.

I really don't know that they were sent by Maximius, the governor of the Shadeland? Or the men of the Gallic governor Persian Dumous? Or maybe it's someone from the Supreme Heavenly Saint Sect? Everyone knows that the current Governor of Vierz, Artoria's half-sister Nero, is considered to be from the garrison faction, and even has a weak claim to the imperial throne.

It has to be said that Artoria thought too much.

Linden waved his hand behind him, stopped the ridicule of the crowd, and walked alone to Artoria.

"Hmm...... Blue-eyed, blonde-haired, and indeed a bit of a king. It's a good seedling. ”

Mr. Linden circled around Artoria, marveling at the celebrity as if he were looking at a giant panda. It's no wonder that he has a long memory, but Lin Dengwan, who likes antiques, still collects some antiquities, including a game disc called "Fett Left at Night" and a set of Blu-ray discs called "Fett Machine Zero".

Although he had forgotten the specific plot, he still remembered the character of Artoria vividly, and he really didn't expect to see a living one in this strange other world!

"......"

The sword was aimed at Lindenwan, and Artoria took on an offensive stance, and the threat could not have been more obvious. Although the "Slowness Technique" can reduce the speed of movement, it does not affect the muscles above the calves, and she still does actions such as raising the shield and swinging the sword on the spot.

But this is not worth mentioning to Lin Dengwan at all, and he is not here to fight.

"Hey, you're in charge here, it's getting late, my brothers and I need to find a place to stay. We need food, wine, and preferably women. ”

"Huh? You're not robbers? “

Artoria was embarrassed, if these people weren't bandits, what the hell was she and the militia doing?

"Whether we are robbers or not depends on how well your village can serve the brethren! By the way, we'll pay, but it's a blank slate. You should believe in the credibility of a 'hero', right? ”
