The massively armoured, dark-armoured, red-cloaked soldiers, numbering dozens, were going from house to house in the village, brutally beating and kicking them, pushing their owners out of the house, and hacking to death guard dogs barking at them...... A thick wooden stake had been erected in the middle of the road, on which hung the village chief, who had been talking to Ryanrod about the progress of the war a moment ago, and the corpse was gently swaying in the wind...... Weird and terrifying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This ...... What is this doing?" Rhodes was dumbfounded, unable to tell whether the gang in front of him was an Imperial army or a bandit.

"Mommy, go to my house!" cried the boy on Rhodes' horse, and the boy came to his senses, galloping across the village avenue, past the hanging corpses in the village, and running to the village woman's house where he had hired Ryan to find her son.

"Don't be impulsive, you have something to say, you're facing an army!" Ryan snapped up Rhodes with a sweat on his head and nervously reminded him.

"I understand!"

......

Rhodes rode past a row of houses, and the Imperial soldiers on both sides shouted orders for him to dismount, and as he approached his destination, a rough young man's voice was heard in the distance.

"A few days ago, you said that you only had one son, why did you become a daughter today? How many people in your family are involved in the rebels?

"No...... That's not my daughter......"

"It's not your daughter, is it?

The women's cries and the girl's shrill screams and curses were heard, and Rhodes turned the corner of the house to see what he saw: the village woman knelt on the ground in front of two soldiers with blood on her face, and a young officer, dressed slightly different from ordinary soldiers, was grabbing Nikita's braid and savagely dragging her out of the threshold, throwing her on a pile of haystacks, and beginning to tear her clothes. The girl resisted desperately, screaming hysterically at a large number of expletives that Rhodes would not allow her to say, but it was completely useless, and only angered the young Imperial officer in front of him.

"Hey, you guys!" Rhodes felt the blood rush over his head, shouted to stop the atrocity in front of him, rode to the gate of the courtyard, dismounted, dragged down the boy who was about to rush forward desperately, pulled out the sword he had changed in the refugee camp from the saddle, and walked violently towards the young officer who was committing violence, despite the loud dissuasion of Ruin behind him.

＊＊＊

Rhodes swore by personality that he really just wanted to scare the soldiers and stop their atrocities, but he was still too young and impulsive after all, and the soldiers opposite him were even more unthreatening, and everything that followed was completely out of control.

"Who are you, put down your sword!" the officer's two bodyguards also drew their weapons and met them.

"Bell, bell!" Two soldiers fell to the ground clutching their necks, blood pouring from between their fingers.

Just as Rhodes just wanted to draw his sword to scare them, the two hapless soldiers didn't come up to kill them, they just wanted to shoot down or force the boy to lay down his arms so that he could be arrested and interrogated. But Rod moved too fast...... It was so fast that he didn't even react to it:

Blocking the opponent's side slash, shouldn't he take advantage of the moment when the opponent reveals a flaw to take a sword straight to the throat? The shock made the opponent lose his balance in an instant, of course, he should take advantage of his illness to kill him!

Half a month ago, Rhodes would have been able to put away his sword at the last moment, and then said with a smile: "You lost." But in the past half a month, he has been forced to kill too many people, so much so that he has completely forgotten the "point to stop" he has learned in the past sixteen years, these two momentary defensive counterattacks, as if his right hand is not controlled by him, almost completely an instinctive reaction under muscle memory, and when Rod secretly screams bad and comes back to his senses, he has already made a big disaster.

"What are you doing!" Ryan growled with wide eyes behind him, "you idiot!"

"How dare you attack the Imperial soldiers!" the young officer who was committing violence against Nikita also widened his eyes: "You are dead!"

Rod didn't know if he was dead, but the person who said this died in the next second. Rod, who caused a catastrophe, was also angry from his heart, evil was born to the side of the guts, killing two is killing, killing ten hundred is also killing, he has already killed easily. the empire, the son of the army commander, he quit! He gritted his teeth and pressed at the other man, slicing his throat before the other's hand touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Big brother—"

The eldest brother was willing to attack the Imperial soldiers for himself?Rhodes must not have imagined how handsome he looked at at this moment, how handsome this little girl who had grown up in the den of thieves and was used to seeing brave and ruthless soldiers, Nikita felt that her crotch was wet almost instantly. She looked at the boy so badly that she forgot to pull her torn clothes back into place, exposing large swaths of her young and immature body to the air.

"You idiot, you screwed everything up!"

"If it's messed up, it's messed up, get dressed!" Rhodes' own hands were trembling, but he yelled at the girl calmly, not knowing that even a hard word he was holding on to made the little girl's legs weak.

......

If there are only these three soldiers, then if it is messed up, it will be messed up, and Ruien himself will not be clean, so no one can say anything. The problem was that there was still a team of dozens of Imperial soldiers in the village. They heard the movement of Rhodes galloping into the village and the angry roars of his colleagues and superiors, and immediately put down the search they were carrying out and surrounded the courtyard where the incident had occurred.

"Why are you standing stupidly, run!"

"You go, what I do, I will bear the consequences. Rod refused the hunter's kind reminder that he didn't want to run away, and he decided to cheat his dad today.

"You...... You can do it yourself!" Rhodes may not die, but if he stays, he will die, Reyn snorted at the wolf, and left the place with his animal companion over the back wall.

The young man watched the hunter leave, and stood in place and shouted at the dozens of Imperial soldiers who had picked up their weapons and surrounded them: "I am Rod Foster, the Duke of Upper Winway, the son of the commander of the Imperial army, these three soldiers were the first to try to assault my friends and threaten me, I killed them, now you can arrest me, but I demand to be tried!"

The boy rushed to his mother and helped her up to hide behind her, watching in fear the thrilling scene of the couple in front of him.

The Imperial soldiers who had gathered around to kill the enemy stopped and looked at each other, and soon someone confirmed Rhodes's identity, and his movements immediately slowed down. The marshal's son killed the son of the commander of the vanguard army, how should this account be calculated?

......

"Judge, take your sword, and we will begin the judgment now!" a rough voice came from behind the crowd, and a heavily armoured, mountain-tall officer approached from the pile of soldiers, and Rhodes found him holding a two-handed sword in one hand.

"Clinton, don't be stupid, this is the person from above who wants us to find and bring back safely!"

"him, isn't it the son of the Imperial Marshal? His father mobilized all the soldiers of the Vanguard Legion to find him, and now this stupid boy has killed General Carlyle's son again, and I will die when I go back!" The tall officer roared angrily, and looked at Rhodes with red eyes: "Boy, go to death!"
