The atrocity was interrupted by a tall boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Aha, I thought it was out of nowhere another bug that didn't know whether it was alive or dead, and it turned out to be the son of the old dog. One of the young men who committed the beating turned his head to look at the visitor and quipped with sarcasm.

"Yo, another poor worm that hasn't even grown its hair yet. Oh my God, can't our Lord Duke recruit warriors like Young Master John and them?" the people next to him also stopped and sneered at the visitor, but the eyes with a flattering look were cast on the group of noble young masters a few meters away.

Some soldiers passing by the neighborhood were also attracted by the beating and scolding here. Charlie, John, and a few other recruits burst into laughter. The boy was none other than the one who was kindly called Atai by a veteran in the square. I saw him effortlessly squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and walk in, shouting loudly at the thug-like recruits, "You... How do you ...... OK... What about bullying your own partners? Then you will ...... the way."

"Haha, did you hear that, this daredevil's turned out to be a Canoch, oh, that's so funny. My dear friend Charlie, allow me to teach him how to speak, what do you say?" was interrupted by John's sarcasm.

Carnaught is a bird endemic to the Salz region, and its stammering song is the most obvious difference between it and other birds.

For these commoners, especially the lowest paupers or slaves, the minor nobles such as John and Charles had a natural sense of disgust and superiority. In their minds, when the nobles speak or do something, the commoners should not interrupt or question their decision. Obviously, even the young Charlie, who had been cursing for the untimely episode to end as soon as possible so that he could go to the carnival, began to feel very unhappy with these untouchables, who usually took the trouble to even look at them. Because, one by one, these untouchables are wasting their precious time. God, this is simply a conspiracy! a conspiracy to murder his Happy Hour with Young Master Charlie, damn it, it is simply an unforgivable sin. Charlie looked gloomy and said to John with a strange smile, "Well, maybe you're right, John. I think we do have an obligation to help esteemed Lord Jack teach these imps who don't understand the rules. ”

"Well, that's what I thought, too. Another young man chimed in.

"Hey, a few of you come over to Young Master Ben, those two poor little worms don't have to worry about it, anyway, they have also received the punishment they deserve. John pointed to the five recruits who stepped on Aaron and the fat little Gibson and shouted, and then pointed his finger at Atai, who was standing in front of the crowd of onlookers more than ten meters away, and shouted angrily with a look of arrogance: "Hey, that lowly come over to me, young master, I want you to be good today-good-good-look-good-ah-"

In the midst of John's provocative voice, Atai walked over without much nonsense. What his father taught him wasn't something he had to hide while watching his partner being rubbed and abused by these bastards. As Atay approached John from the crowd and was exposed to the light of the campfire, John and the others began to feel remorse for what they had just said, and cold sweat oozed from their rapidly beating hearts. At the same time, they are also ashamed of their cowardice.

The onlookers also heard a series of gasps as Atay was fully exposed to the light of the fire, followed by a squeaky chatter.

"See, Lord, there are still such strong people in this world?" said one soldier in shock, clutching at his already messy hair.

"You're absolutely right, man. I'm afraid that our chief of guard for Count Ehrensba, the valiant Mr. Horry, will be half a fist shorter than him. He and a soldier next to him agreed with his partner. He compared all the burly men he had ever seen with the boy in front of him, but none of them seemed to be taller and stronger than the boy.

"Hi man, I dare to swear in the name of the devout disciple of the great god of war, this little imp will definitely become the greatest warrior of our empire in the future. "Someone began to prophesy.

The young soldier who had recognized Atay earlier was not impressed. In Salz, he had fought with Alun Atai and them, and although he had always been afraid of Atai in his heart, he didn't think that a dozen or so people here couldn't deal with this bastard who didn't know how to live or die.

The young man came to John and the others, pretended to be relaxed, and said, "Brave young master John, you are so right. There are a dozen of us here, and he's just a goddamn blacksmith, so we don't need to be afraid of anything!"

"Oh, you mean we're going up together?" After hearing this, the faces of John and Charlie and other nobles trembled slightly. This is clearly an act of dereliction of identity. Charlie's brows furrowed, and he denied in a rather unhappy tone: "This will make my face disgraced, damn it." ”

John and the others were also reluctant, as Charlie said. Although these people are just a group of new soldiers, they are also nobles. Bullying too much will always bring shame on their faces, not to mention that there are dozens of stinky guys sitting or standing nearby, intending to watch the excitement on the side. You must know that they are not only Salzians in the team, but also people from other towns. Not to mention the big one, if you do this kind of thing alone, I am afraid that not only will you lose your identity, but you will also be used as a joke by these strangers in the future.

"But gentlemen, if we do not, we will lose our face even more. What do you think?" out of the corner of the young man's eye, he caught a glimpse of Atai getting closer and closer, and his heart couldn't help but become anxious.

"This ————" Charlie exchanged glances with John and the others, but found that the information fed back from each other's eyes seemed to be full of uncertain factors, which was a real emergency.

"I'm here, what do you want? If you dare to continue beating my comrades for no reason, I will report everything here to my commander. Ah Tai looked at the soldiers in front of him who were two or three heads shorter than himself with a serious expression, and the voice like a bell came from his regularly vibrating Adam's apple.

As a veteran, the son of a simple and honest blacksmith. Atai established several principles of life in the old blacksmith Mayne's tireless memories of serving in the army year after year, day after day. That is: do not abandon and do not give up. Forge ahead bravely, kill the enemy and serve the country.

Before joining the army, Artai studied the art of forging with his father during the day in Salz, and learned martial arts at night when he had free time. Usually very little contact with these rampant village ***, even the old blacksmith didn't tell him this. Of course, those high-ranking nobles don't have the heart to find fault with these freemen.

In the eyes of the powerful, whether it is a freeman or a farmer who works for the old men on the manor, he is just one of the beasts who can work.

He remembered his father saying, "Atay, my good son of Mayne." When you grow up, you must be an upright and brave person. If you can be called up by the Empire, then you must be a real man, a brave warrior!"

With regard to the words integrity and bravery, Atai received too many interpretations from his father, who regarded justice and bravery as honor. And tonight, when he saw his two companions being beaten by a scoop of soldiers, his sense of duty and courage made him take action without hesitation - to free his companions from the hands of the soldiers. As for whether he will offend these soldiers with special status because of this, I'm sorry, but the blacksmith father didn't tell him to pay attention to this.

Under the pine fire under the eaves of the wooden house and the bonfire built on the ground, the tall Atai is even more tall and deep. John, Charlie, and the others gradually felt the breathing in their chests become difficult in front of the shaky shadow that was getting closer and closer. The young man in front of him would not be more than seventeen years old if he only looked at his face, but if you look at the past and take into account all the limbs of his body, this is simply not a figure that a normal person at a young age can achieve. Well, maybe it's a devil, or maybe he has some filthy blood running through it, like an orc.

Pieces of bronze muscle, as strong as marble, coiled around the tall skeleton like an angry dragon. The well-defined face is as sharp as a knife and an axe. Aside from the obvious solemnity in his eyes and face, most people would take it for granted that this kid must be a great person before they knew his identity.

Seeing these people standing in place dumbfounded, as if ignoring their own intentions, Atai did not get into trouble, and walked straight towards Aaron and the others according to his righteous and moral thoughts, intending to help them out of here.

Suddenly, a force slammed into him from behind him, and it felt like someone had kicked him hard in the ass. In fact, he was actually kicked in the ass. Then, just as the sneak attacker had expected, Altai stumbled forward a few times to stabilize his violently shaking figure and keep himself from falling, but apparently unguarded, he was not able to muster enough strength to maintain his body's balance in such a hurry.

Smack-

After a few moments, Atay fell to the ground in embarrassment amid laughter and shrill whistles. As he was about to get up and teach the damn mean bastard a lesson, he saw that less than half a meter from him were the bruised butts of two boys exposed in the unwilling lonely air.

"Roar, what's the difference between you scumbag and those Slovenians?" said Artai angrily to his feet, turning his tall body sharply and pointing at the bastards he had identified as one of the suspects.

"So, boy, let's have a fair duel, and let me see what you're capable of. Oh, you can't be just a fool with a lot of flesh and no head, huh? haha-" He was answered by the young man who recognized his origins. Originally, this young man just wanted to give this sixteen-year-old boy a dismount, so that the few noble young masters on the side could value themselves a little more. In the future, there are still many places in the army where you need to rely on each other's family relationships. In this case, only if you have a few more "different shining points" than other competitors with the same goal, can you break through. His future may not be like the elders in his own family, no matter how much money he has, he can't take off the hat of being a free citizen and a maggot motter.

What made him feel excited was that after the blow just now, although it was a disgraceful sneak attack, it also allowed him to roughly figure out Atai's strength. Although this little ghost's figure looks terrifying, sixteen years old is sixteen years old, nine years younger than himself, and his strength is not too much higher than himself. In terms of size, he is a head taller than himself, and he will not suffer a loss against him, because he has practiced. What's more, what makes him confident now is that there are a few guys who are "born and died" with him next to him, what else is there to be afraid of?

When the young and vigorous Ah Tai heard the other party say the words of a fair duel, he was angry, and he was not good at words, and without saying a word, he waved his fist like a copper hammer and rushed forward. Although the fighting skills given to him by the old blacksmith are only the most basic combination skills of dodging, blocking, and attacking in the Imperial army. But Atai, who has been practicing since he was a child, does not lose much compared to veterans in use, and he is the same tiger and tiger. If you have to find flaws in this sixteen-year-old boy, it may be that you have no actual combat experience and that kind of murderous aura that makes people feel dangerous.

With a sharp and sharp whistling, Artay's fists exploded in a measured manner, without any fancy, which is the most common and basic fighting technique in the Imperial army, "Pans Lancer", which is said to have originated in the founding dynasty of the Aragon Empire, the first emperor of the Celtic dynasty, His Majesty Larry Bird.

The young man who was about to say a few more high-sounding words for himself was stunned to see Atai's fists rapidly approaching, and the slightest cracking sound covered his vision in the blink of an eye. The next moment, before he could react, he felt his eyes go black, and a huge force knocked him to the ground.

Ahh————h

With the screams of the young man and the screams of the lungs, and the nosebleeds and saliva splattered from the great force, the people around him were suddenly overwhelmed.

The angry Atai is undoubtedly dangerous, as can be seen from his next moves. With a dark face, Atai walked up to the young man in three steps and two steps, then lifted his curly brown and yellow left foot and stomped it the back of the young man who was lying on the ground. I stepped on it more than once, the second, the third, the six............ One after the other. Finally, when the young man under his feet did not struggle any longer, Atai turned and walked over to the dim-dazed Alan and little Gibson, and picked one up with one hand and walked to the edge of the forest.

Obviously, the innate thoughts and thoughts that civilians should have in mud legs didn't seem to have left many traces on this young man who had just reached adulthood. Otherwise, with his background as a blacksmith, he would not dare to speak disrespectfully or rudely to the noble lackey lying on the ground.

Beat the water dogs, and everyone will rush forward without hesitation. But to be a bird yourself, there are few fools to be such heroes.

John and Charlie stared at everything that was happening in front of them in disbelief, and there was not the slightest thought in their heads to catch up and stop the three guys.

Of course, it is impossible for such a big movement to be reported to the superior without anyone reporting it. Soon, not long after the three boys left, several figures flickering in the light and shadows of the fire disappeared in a few moments.
