Chapter 1201: War Spreads
"Protect the master, protect the master!"
Amidst the layers of mercenary protection, an attendant stood outside the carriage and shouted in panic, but soon, his voice stopped abruptly.
At this time, the commanders of the aristocratic coalition saw it clearly and clearly - although those mercenaries were protecting the convoy, they were vaguely focused on a carriage, and the main target of protection was the carriage.
If it weren't for the squire's fear, they might not have been able to see it!
And now, the squire has been hacked to death by the angry mercenaries, isn't that enough to show that their target is in that carriage?
As soon as they thought of this, the knights became excited, drew their swords and pointed directly at the carriage, "Attack !!"
The mercenaries protecting the convoy knew something was wrong when they heard the shout, but a dozen knights with hundreds of soldiers surrounded them, and unless they gave up their mission, they couldn't survive!
Thinking of this, the eyes of several mercenary leaders turned red all of a sudden.
As one of the few large mercenary groups in the Kurt Kingdom, they value credit the most, and if the news of their abandonment of their employer spreads, who else will hire them?
It's all to blame on that squire, if it weren't for his voice, they wouldn't have fallen into the current dilemma!
At this moment, a whip struck the horses pulling the cart, and the horses, which were already frightened enough, were almost paralyzed with fright, and their strong limbs suddenly bounced, and they galloped out with the heavy carriage.
If it weren't for the mercenaries' immediate evasion after hearing the whip, there might have been a tragic death under the horses' hooves.
Looking at the neighing horse with horror in his eyes, he dragged the carriage and rushed towards him, and the nobles' private soldiers screamed one after another, not only did they not dare to raise their swords to resist, but even dodged to both sides in a smoke, pushing each other when dodging the carriage, pressing the other soldiers to the ground heavily, and directly making way for the carriage to escape a broad avenue.
The knights who commanded the battle were about to tilt their noses, and hurriedly took out their bows and arrows and fired a few arrows, and a few arrows caught up with the carriage, but only nailed to the carriage.
After the carriage, the drivers of the following carriages also waved their whips and reins, and hurried the carriage to chase after it.
However, it was because of this move that the mercenaries were completely desperate.
They did not abandon their employers, but they chose to abandon them at this time.
They didn't have carriages, they didn't have horses, they couldn't afford that kind of expensive stuff.
"Breakout !!"
Several mercenary leaders with red eyes and fierce faces raised their heads to the sky and roared, drew their weapons and crashed into the soldiers in front, the panicked soldiers were the opponents of these mercenaries who licked blood from the knife edge, and at this time, the knights who commanded them had no time to command them, and hurriedly drove the war horses towards those carriages.
The whole battlefield was in chaos at once, and the sound of screams, cries, shouts, and screams lingered over the place, destroying people's ears and hearts.
The mercenaries are all veterans, they only hurt but do not kill, and use those wounded soldiers to delay the footsteps of others.
In the end, only a few people died on this battlefield, and most of the mercenaries escaped, but many of the wounded soldiers were bleeding, and it would be difficult to survive.
However, not many people were sad, and all of them had palpitations, and those bright swords almost landed on their heads, and in this part of the Kurt Kingdom, 'human life' is the least valuable thing.
In this land, as the private soldiers of the nobles, they have no battles to fight, but to oppress the commoners......
A dozen knights caught up with the two wagons, one of which was the object they were looking for, and after ignoring the cries of the dead fat man in his rich clothes and precious ornaments, and slashing him to death, they tacitly divided a part of his body and the goods that were in the carriage, and the rest were to be brought back as 'evidence'.
A knight cut off the fat head, looked at the distorted head, and couldn't help but sneer.
Who would believe that this dead fat man shouted 'he is not himself'?
If he hadn't been the rebellious merchant 'Morgan', how could he have been able to afford to wear those clothes and treasures?
When they tried to kill the dead fat man, they were blocked by a few magic trinkets, and if they hadn't besieged this guy, maybe this guy would have been able to escape.
A dozen knights gathered up, and then returned with their heads and treasures to the soldiers, ready to collect their rewards.
No matter how many dead or wounded those soldiers were, they didn't care, anyway, if the soldiers died, they would catch some of them, and if something leaked through their fingers, they would be able to swear allegiance to them, and they didn't even need to arrest them themselves, as long as they shouted in those villages, there would be a lot of people scrambling to join their army.
............
The speeding carriage suddenly slowed down and slowly stopped.
The carriage stopped in a clearing in the middle of the woods, which was relatively smooth, and although it was a little muddy from the rain of the previous day, it was the road they had been using on a daily basis, and Morgan knew it well.
Only four of the seven carriages ran, and according to the reports of his subordinates, one was left in the encirclement and could not escape, and two were overtaken, and one of those two was the one who took the place of the dead ghost, which means that he did not need to worry about the pursuers for the time being.
Morgan Moggs, this is a muscular man who looks a little obese, but his body is full of muscles.
He is a very self-disciplined person, and naturally he will not eat himself as a fat person who is full of fat and can't even run.
The mercenaries who were originally vying to break through gathered around him again, they were his subordinates, not just simple mercenaries.
It is impossible for others to know that, with his character, he will not be comfortable with those who are beyond his control to protect him, and that the 'mercenaries' are just a layer of identity for them to cover, although they do take on some jobs to make their identity more real.
Chewing on a leaf between his teeth, the first big businessman in the Kurt kingdom to hold high the banner of the 'uprising' looked up and looked through the dense foliage to the sky.
There was some food being roasted on the fire next to him, but he was eating leaves!
The bitterness in his mouth would make his brain think more clearly, and this time he misestimated the strength and determination of the group of nobles, and even lost the positions he had occupied before, paying a very heavy price.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been able to flee in this way.
Fortunately, after the 'uprising', he immediately transferred his family and most of his wealth to the territory occupied by the legendary paladin, even if he failed this time, he was able to stand up again, but he could not fight against the 'rebel army' led by the holy warrior as before, and could only obediently obey the arrangement of the holy warrior.
Although there is nothing wrong with that, he is a businessman himself, and now he is just a businessman again...... It's just that some are unwilling!
The nobles had given up on dealing with the already large rebel army for the time being, and turned to deal with their scattered rebels, and now the flames of war had begun to spread across the kingdom, and he believed that with the way the paladin had done in the past, he would definitely attack with all his might this time.
Sighing, Morgan Mogus walked to the fire, picked up a roast chicken, and took a big bite.
"Eat your fill, we will go to the [Hand of Justice] tomorrow, only he can bring happiness to the commoners of the Kurt Kingdom, and we will overthrow the oppression of the nobles of this kingdom!"
