Act XX: The Raid II
"Quick, go get the weapon."
The village chief urged the panicked villagers, and although it was a weapon, it was actually nothing more than farm tools, hammers, pitchforks, etc.
And what kind of garrison can a border village have? There were a few old soldiers who had retired from the town, but they weren't the same enemies as those in cold armor.
"Those people are from the church, village chief?"
The helpless young man tightened his pitchfork in his hand, "They won't let us live, and they won't be able to ask for help, ah, damn it." โ
If you think about it a little, you can know what happened to the small church behind these cold armors, as the only pillar that can get in touch with the town near the village of Jingse Lake, but there are a certain number of ordinary soldiers and holy officers guarding it, even if it is that kind of place, it is still impossible to stop this group of people, and the situation of the village can be imagined.
The man in the lead winked, and the samurai behind him understood.
Several warriors in cold armor approached, and the swift sword shadow easily picked off the villager's weapon, and the latter sat down on the ground with his weapon out of his hand, looking up at a loss.
They found that the other party was slow to make a move.
"What... What do you mean? โ
The nobles in the back looked at the samurai who had no follow-up movements, their eyes flickered, and their clenched fists relaxed a lot.
"Sure enough... The Holy Doctrine is not ready to go to war with the Sawyer Alliance? You're here to fight for new land? โ
Then a somewhat timid voice continued: "In that case, there should be no such church..."
"The war inevitably sheds blood, and it still kills a few stubborn fools, oh, it seems that there are smart people among the brown-eyed people."
The man in the lead looked the nobleman up and down and couldn't help but smile meaningfully.
Most of the people of the Sawyer Alliance are brown-eyed, but the Divine Doctrine is not, so the Divine Doctrine sometimes calls the people of the Sawyer Alliance brown-eyed, and thinks that it is impure eye color.
Throughout the long history of Canduras, pupil color has symbolized blood, and brown eyes are not a noble pupil color.
"And now? Do you want to wait for the Shining Bringer's team to come? โ
The nobleman sensed that the other party's reaction was not too aggressive, so he continued to ask tentatively.
"Shining Bringer? That idiot from Carey won't be my match, even if the Shining Messenger you call it here on time... Maybe he had already arrived, but when he saw me, he hid in fear. โ
The leading man waved his hand, looking disapproving, "Don't pin your hopes on them, it's like a candle in the snow, humble and pitiful." โ
โยทยทยทโ
These samurai of the sacred doctrine said these words in a compassionate tone, which was even more harsh and sarcastic to the villagers.
"I'm not going to ask, how did I get those old stubborns at Lake Chapel to squeeze?"
Clearly capturing the change in the expressions on the faces of these nobles, the leader smiled slightly, "The holy officials of the church are a special group of people after all, and they can sacrifice their dignity in order to preserve the purity of their doctrines. But such excuses do not apply to you nobles, and the villagers can turn a blind eye to the present, but you can't. โ
"The nobles of the Sawyer Alliance have always had a clear position, and this is also what we admire about the brown-eyed people, black and white."
The words have been said very clearly, the hearts of these nobles are in their throats, they are very tormented, and there is a fierce struggle going on inside.
"Help us deal with the Shining Messenger, every nobleman will be protected by the Divine Doctrine, otherwise you know what will happen."
To the samurai of the Divine Doctrine, the villagers had no value of coercion, but these nobles were different now.
The laws and regulations of the Sawyer Alliance are very strict, and once the Radiant Patrol fails due to the intervention of the Holy Doctrine warriors, the holy officials of the Church of Light will definitely throw the black cauldron to these nobles who come to represent them, and the forces behind them will put them in a severe situation, torture, and even death in order to avoid disgrace.
In contrast, they chose to help the Divine Doctrine, and perhaps they could find a place in the land of the Divine Doctrine, even if that would be a conviction of treason.
In fact, most of the people who were sent by the master to participate in the Glory Patrol were some down-and-out people.
"It doesn't seem like there's a choice."
Some of the nobles were still confused and couldn't figure out the situation, while a few nobles were open in their hearts, sighing on the surface, but in their hearts they were thinking that the time had come to turn over.
"What are we supposed to do?"
Under the frightened gazes of the villagers and some nobles, the two nobles stood up, saluted the leading man, and then asked, "Will you help you convince them to deal with the Radiant Patrol Messenger together?" โ
At this remark, some of the villagers turned red with annoyance, how could they not understand how these nobles gave in to each other in a few words?
It is said that the nobles in the town are all soft bones, and when I saw it today, it was indeed the case.
"I appreciate smart people."
The man in the lead nodded, asked the names of the two nobles, and then said, "Don't worry, we don't intend to have too much conflict with the Radiant Patrol Emissary, but we just have some simple questions for you." โ
His words calmed down the emotional villagers a lot, but the eyes of the retired soldiers were glowing with coldness.
"What's the problem?"
The two nobles consciously walked out of the ranks of the villagers and came to the side of the leading man, pretending to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I need some details about the Shining Patrol, things like a list of people involved."
As he spoke, the leading man reached into the chest of a nobleman who, though surprised, did not dare to move out of awe.
Two fingers wrapped in armor caught the coat of arms on the nobleman's chest, which was the motif of a blue griffin.
"The Thorndike family? I heard that they guard three large mines to the west, and even the gems used by professionals can be usedโ"
The nobleman's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and then he said with a smile: "As long as you want, I will tell you all the secrets I know." โ
"Haha."
The leader and his samurai retinue laughed, but it wasn't mockery.
Teng Teng.
Just as he was about to discuss the details with the two nobles, the two samurai pushed aside the crowd and hurried up to him, their expressions a little frightened.
"The Radiant Patrol is here? Is it necessary to be afraid of this? โ
The leading man frowned, and without waiting for the two warriors to speak, he said with a slight coldness: "Talk about the point, don't waste time." โ
"The tide of black pressure! From the other side of the lake! I don't know what it is, it's like the black clouds in the sky, the forests, the meadows, it's all those black things, as black as coal juice. โ
The two warriors looked at each other and said with sad faces.
"What are you talking about?!"
The lead man's anger surged, "Didn't you fucking sober up?!" โ
Regardless of the fact that he didn't understand what the two samurai meant, such a magical thing was unacceptable.
