75. The culprit
But sometimes there is nowhere to exert an overwhelming advantage, and Geroy is now in this situation, although the overall strength of his side is much stronger than that of Bowers in the valley, but there is no way to take the people in the valley, for no other reason, just because Powers controls the innocent villagers in the valley. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Behind the well-trained team behind Powers, there were hundreds of people standing densely, among these people were old people, children, young people, and middle-aged people, but without exception they all looked like they were yellow and thin, as if they would fall when the wind blew, just like the ten people brought out by Fili.
Bowers, who was originally in a weak position, has been facing off with Geroy because he controls these talents, and the reason why Geroy has not entered the valley when he has the advantage is because he is afraid of these villagers controlled by Bowers, he is afraid that some of his actions will bring irreparable damage to those villagers in the valley, which will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to Li Xuan after taking office, which he does not want to see.
"Master Geroi, please save them!" Behind Geroi, one of the ten people who was taken out by Fili first had sunken eyes and a thin yellow face pleaded, and as the middle-aged man spoke, the rest of the people also pleaded, and they were all villagers in the valley, and they naturally couldn't bear to see a village of people being killed.
Geroy looked at the ten people who were brought out by Fili and sighed lightly, and said with relief: "Don't worry, they are the same as you, they are the same people as adults, I will definitely rescue them all, they will all be fine." ”
"Thank you, Master!" the ten villagers hurriedly thanked him.
Geroy comforted the ten villagers again, and then motioned to a few maids on the side to take them down, and then turned to the fat middle-aged Bowers led by the opposite side and said loudly: "Powers, this valley has been given to Baron Li Xuan by His Majesty as his territory, and I hope you will take people away now, I promise, I will not pursue your past Baron." ”
The fat middle-aged Powers sneered after listening to Geroy's words, if it was before receiving the magic message, maybe he really didn't dare to go against Li Xuan's people, the other party was a nobleman after all, not something that a small person like him could offend, but now with Sdrak behind his back, his mentality is different, he doesn't dare to say big things elsewhere, but within the scope of this Sill Town, with Sdrak's support, it can definitely run rampant, even if the other party is a baron, he still doesn't care about it.
He said to Geroy with confidence: "Old man, do you have a problem with your brain, this entire Sil Town is the fief of Lord Sdrake, and this valley also belongs to the scope of Lord Sil, as the steward of Lord Viscount, is there anything wrong with me being ordered to manage this valley? You don't pursue my past? I need you not to pursue it? It's ridiculous! But you, with so many people, invade Lord Viscount's private territory, what are your intentions?"
In other cases, other barons who came to the town of Syr might really have scruples because of Powers's words, after all, they were lords within the town of Syr, and Sdrak could be regarded as their superior, and if they offended their superiors when they came, then don't think about the ladder behind.
If Geroy didn't know Li Xuan's other identity, he would also have some scruples, afraid that he would cause trouble for Li Xuan at this time, and he would be put in small shoes by Sdrake in the future, but after knowing that Li Xuan had the identity of a Templar in addition to his identity as a baron, he had nothing to fear, not to mention Sdrake, a small viscount, even some earls and marquis would not dare to touch the mind of a Templar, unless they wanted to go to the Inquisition to try the torture inside.
Looking at Powers, who seemed to be in control in the distance, a trace of disdain flashed on Geroy's face, and said: "Powers, there are some things that we all know in our hearts, and I don't want to say anything more, no matter what purpose this valley has become the private domain of Viscount Sdrak before, but from today on, this valley belongs to Lord Baron Li Xuan." ”
He paused, made a look of embarrassment, and said: "After all, you are Viscount Sdrak's people, I don't want to fight with you, I hope you will withdraw from the valley as soon as possible, so as not to hurt everyone's peace." Lord Baron should come back in a while, if I haven't finished the affairs of the valley by then, it will be my disadvantage, I am not willing to carry this unfavorable name, I will give you another five minutes to consider, whether you take the initiative to withdraw from the valley or I will ask you to invite you out of the valley, you can think about it yourself. ”
"Hmph, old man, don't talk nonsense there, your master is just a little baron, and my lord is a viscount, you remember, this town of Sir is the territory of Lord Sdrak, here, Lord Viscount has the final say, you bullshit barons can only stand aside, I guess when your master comes back, he will take you to the side. Bowers snorted coldly and said with a look of disdain.
Geroy's face slowly became gloomy, although he often smiled lightly, but if he thought that he was a kind-hearted old man, it would be a big mistake, the reason why he had a stalemate with the other party for so long just now was that the villagers controlled by Bowers were one of the reasons, but more importantly, he still didn't want to cause trouble to Li Xuan in the future, but seeing that Powers still looked stubborn, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said coldly: "So you chose to let me ask someone to invite you out?" In that case, it is as you wish. ”
"Old man, you dare to mess around! Don't you care about the life and death of these people in the valley?" Bowers knew that it was not good when he heard Geroy's words, and his face suddenly showed an anxious look, the reason why he was able to hold on until now in the case of the disparity in strength was completely because he had those villagers in the valley as hostages, but now from the words of the other party, it could be heard that the other party was now completely disregarding the life and death of these hostages, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart, and the development of this matter was a bit unexpected for him.
A sneer flashed across Geroy's face as he looked at Bowers, who had only now shown a look of panic and anxiety, and he waved his hand at the slaves behind him, and the huge army of goblins, spider-men, barbarians, and dwarves rushed towards the valley with a scream, threatening to level the valley.
These slaves were already ready to move when Gerale and Powers first started the confrontation, and they didn't care about the life or death of the villagers in the valley who were controlled, for them, these villagers were not their kind anyway, and whether they were dead or alive had nothing to do with them, if it weren't for the fact that they were ordered to rush into the valley from the beginning of the confrontation.
Looking at the group of goblins, spider-men, barbarians, etc. behind Geroy rushing towards the valley, Bowers showed a bitter smile on his face, and his heart was also full of helplessness, he received a magic message telling him that as long as he lasted until the evening, someone would come to solve the matter here, and he relied on those villagers as a threat to successfully survive, but the people sent by Sdrak to solve the problem did not arrive for a long time.
Now, it had been dark for several hours, and Sdrak's people had not arrived, and the trump card he was holding in his hand had lost its effectiveness, which made him a little unsure of what to do for a while, and he had a faint feeling in his heart that something must have happened in Sdrak's town.
But Powers quickly calmed down, now he was in a hurry, everything was on his own, he was ready to try again, if it still didn't work, then the only way to remove the valley was to do so.
Bowers gave an order to one of the guards beside him, and soon a child who was only about four or five years old was brought to him, he picked the child up with one hand, and then pulled out the sword of the guard next to him with the other hand and put it against the child's neck, his face showed a look of madness, and he yelled at Geroy: "Old man, do you really care about the lives of these people in the valley? They are all the future lords of your baron, if they are killed because of you now, I don't think your baron will want to govern his territory in the future, and the culprit of all this, I don't think your life will be easy at that time, right?!"
Seeing that Gerale was still unmoved, Powers' hand holding the long sword tightened, and suddenly a long wound was cut on the child's neck, and blood kept flowing down the long sword, "Let them stop now, if they dare to go forward, then this little guy's head will have to move." ”
"Master, master, stop them......"
"Master, you promised us to save them......"
"Master, please let them stop, the child is innocent......"
Seeing that Geroy sent his men directly to rush forward despite the controlled villagers in the valley, the ten villagers who were brought down rushed to Geroy again, kneeling and pleading.
"Take them down. Looking at the ten villagers who knelt down in front of him and couldn't stop pleading, Geroy's expression remained unchanged, and he commanded the maids behind him in a cold voice.
"Master, please, please save them, they are all innocent......," a man in his sixties hugged Geroy's thigh, pleading with tears in his eyes.
"Third uncle, don't beg, don't you understand, they and those people in the valley are the same thing, they don't treat us ordinary people as human beings at all, and they will always only have interests in their eyes. A middle-aged man beside the old man stopped pleading, glanced at Geroy coldly, and then pulled the old man and said.
The old man originally wanted to scold the middle-aged man and ask him to make amends to Geroy, but seeing Geroy's indifferent expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, lowered his head and sighed heavily, and then left with the support of the middle-aged man.
