Chapter Seventy-Three: Incitement
At the beginning of night, Leo led a mixed army of Cossack cavalry, Spartan warriors, and Roman infantry to his territory, Beiyuan Town, to find that it was silent, and the streets and alleys were empty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The crisp sound of the horses' hooves of the Cossack cavalry kept resounding on the bluestone slabs of the road, constantly echoing in the empty town, but there was not half a curious figure showing up to check, and the cool night breeze in autumn came back, feeling like a ghost town.
"Strange, why is there no one here? Something doesn't seem right!" Leo observed the town as he walked, and according to his understanding, Kitahara should be a rich and lively town, and it should not be so quiet.
Just as the team marched to the center of the town, Feng Xifan, who was behind Leo, suddenly raised his eyebrows, his body jumped up like a big bird, and in a few vertical jumps, he arrived in front of the door of a house, and shouted at the hidden door: "Come out!"
After hearing this loud shout, a trembling thin figure hesitantly peeked out from behind the door, and was grabbed by Feng Xifan and dragged in front of Leo.
Leo originally wondered how Feng Xifan, who had always been indifferent to things, could treat the residents so roughly, but when he looked at the figure carefully, it suddenly dawned on him. It turned out that the person who kept trembling was none other than Hubble, who had once made trouble in Haruna.
"Isn't this Hubble!, why are you here?" asked Leo, frowning.
Hubble secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, originally thought that Mrs. Cullen and Mayor Martin instigated the townspeople to go to the castle to make trouble, and he could take the opportunity to break through the empty door to find something good, but he didn't expect to be caught by Feng Xifan just before he was about to commit the crime.
Look at the elite soldiers behind Leo, especially the cavalry on tall horses, and then think about Leo's identity as a baron and lord at this time, where does Hubble dare to bare his teeth. In order to avoid suffering from flesh and skin, he hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube and explained the recent events one by one, and even how his sister colluded with Mayor Martin and incited the townspeople without concealment.
Hubble's explanation made Leo gasp, he didn't expect that Baroness Cullen and Mayor Martin would do such a desperate job to link the villagers of Haruna with the collusion of the orcs to betray the empire, this is to completely cut off the survival of those villagers!
Thinking of this, Leo was so anxious that he hurriedly ordered: "The Roman infantry watch this guy and escort him to the castle." The Cossack cavalry took the lead to stop the fighting, and the others came with me!"
Hearing the order, the Cossack cavalrymen, led by Company Commander Ivan, let go of their horses and galloped in the direction of the castle clearing.
In the Haruna village settlement, the villagers who were celebrating were surrounded by a sudden and angry crowd. Angry townspeople, incessantly instigated by Mayor Martin and Mrs. Cullen, shouted at the villagers: "You shameless fellows, get out of our homeland!" "Get out, you scum who colludes with the orcs!"
Many of the villagers in Haruna were frightened by the crowd, and the children hid behind their parents, and several timid children began to cry loudly.
The villagers of Haruna do not know what is going on at first, but when Heidi and Uncle Potter see this, one tells the villagers to exercise restraint as much as possible, while the other asks what is going on, intending to try to calm the angry townspeople.
Mayor Martin quietly glanced at a few of his cronies in the crowd, who nodded knowingly, and while loudly inciting the emotions of the townspeople, he picked up rocks from the ground and threw them at the villagers. After their movements were seen by some townspeople, they also threw stones and other debris into the crowd of villagers.
Things took a turn when the stones fell into the crowd of villagers, and a stone that I don't know who threw it fell impartially on the head of the most respected old Gary in the village of Haruna.
Seeing that Old Gary was smashed to the ground and his life and death were unknown, the villagers of Haruna Village immediately blew up the pot. These villagers, who have lived in the bitter cold land of the frontier for generations, are already fierce, not to mention being bullied like this, and at the moment, regardless of men, women, and children, everyone casually picked up the things that they could reach around them, and rushed towards those townspeople in Beiyuan Town.
Although the townspeople of Beiyuan Town are numerous, they live in a quiet and peaceful town after all, and they have no experience of fighting at all, and more people are just under the instigation of Mayor Martin and Mrs. Cullen.
was rushed by the villagers of Haruna, and the townspeople of Beiyuan Town were suddenly lifted on their backs. Seeing this chaotic scene, several of the initiators had smug looks in their eyes, and Mayor Martin shouted: "Townspeople, there are many of us, don't be afraid of these hillbillies, we must defend our homeland, and we must not let these hillbillies occupy it!"
At the instigation of Mayor Martin and Mrs. Cullen, many of the townspeople were forced to return fire, and the scene became more and more chaotic, with occasional blood and prizes. The two sides gradually fought a real fire, as if the other party was their own feud, and the attack became more and more ruthless.
At that moment, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the night in the distance. Whether it was the villagers of Haruna or the townspeople of the northern plains, both sides were suspicious, and their men gradually slowed down.
"Lord Leo has an order! Stop! Squat down with your head in your hands!"
"Whoever dares to trespass!
"Incite provocateurs!"
The Cossack cavalrymen galloped and shouted orders that echoed through the night sky.
The leaders only knew that a large number of cavalry were approaching, but they could not tell from the sound of hooves how many cavalry there were, so they had to obey the order and squat down with their heads in their hands.
The Cossack cavalrymen did not rush straight into the clearing, but galloped left and right in two columns from the middle, enclosing the whole clearing.
A moment later, Leo arrived with the Spartan warriors.
In the clearing, both sides of the war were wounded and wounded, and although the villagers of Haruna were brave, the townspeople were more numerous. Many of the wounded were lying on the ground, snorting and moaning, and the air was filled with blood.
Looking at the mess in front of him, Leo had the heart to kill. Although his temperament has always been plain and indifferent, and he doesn't care much about many things, but this time Mayor Martin and the others really touched Leo's backlash.
