Chapter 222: The Resistance
readx;
Hearing this, many people showed frightened expressions on their faces, they hurriedly stood up, nervously looked in the direction pointed by the comer, and some people climbed directly to a high place, looked into the distance, and immediately shouted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Here it is! In the northeast corner, there are a lot of people, about a hundred!"
"Holy grace above, you damn bastards!"
The young man in the lead gritted his teeth, grinded his teeth, and then stood up, waving his arms and quickly commanding.
"Hide now, hide in the cellar!Close the door, don't let those bastards find out, go back!"
After giving the order, the young man turned around and looked at Yu Lian, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Honorable sir, listen to me, you better get out of here immediately, these guys won't be so cruel to us villagers, but nobles like you, if they find out, it really won't be good to eat........."
"Thank you for your kindness. ”
Hearing the boy's suggestion, Yuren stood up and smiled at him kindly, then his right hand stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Still, I'd like to see who these self-proclaimed rebels are. ”
"Your ........., Honorable Sir"
The young man's face changed, and he wanted to say more, but at this moment Yulian had already turned over on his horse, and then leisurely flicked his horsewhip, and then slowly marched towards the east of the town. And the carriage, just like that, followed behind, slowly moving forward.
Seeing this scene, the young man wanted to say something, but the companion standing beside him pulled his sleeve.
"What are you doing, come in! You want to be caught!"
"But he ........."
"The nobles are not all like this, they don't pay attention to anyone, don't pay attention to them. Anyway, you've warned you, do they like to listen to you?, come in quickly, or we'll be in trouble when those damn bastards enter town!"
“...............”
Hearing this, the young man finally didn't say anything more, he glanced at You Lian again, and then turned around and quickly walked into the house.
The speed of the rebels was obviously not fast, in fact, when Yuren walked to the east exit of the town at the speed of an afternoon stroll, he could already see the figures not far away. In terms of numbers, there were about a hundred, and, at the first sight of these fellows, Yulian immediately gave them the surname - the Ragtag Army.
The more than 100 rebel soldiers who were walking towards the town in front of them seemed to be scattered on the surface, they didn't have any formation, they just gathered in groups out of convenience or boredom. The infantry was also completely mixed walking together, looking at the situation and chatting. A strange flag fluttered crookedly in the sky, with a black background and a strange yellow symbol, which constituted this military flag. And among this group of people, their physical fitness is also uneven. Some are tall and burly, while others are skinny and almost skinny. Looking at the way they look, one would even worry about whether these guys would have the strength to pull the sword out of the scabbard.
However, compared to the casual appearance of these guys, the equipment on their bodies is very regular. Originally, Yulian thought that a rebel like this would have at most some leather armor or ordinary weapons that mercenaries often wear. But now, although there is a big difference in the height of this group of people, they are wearing standard half-body armor. This mixture of leather and steel is considered to be the most convenient, practical, and inexpensive of all the standard armor. After all, it's a cold winter, and it's still a question of whether this kind of guy who looks like a ragtag at first glance can dare to wear that kind of cold and hard steel armor, regardless of those soldiers who have undergone rigorous training.
But......... Yu Lian's gaze moved away from these people, and he frowned slightly. In any case, the standard bust is also considered a part of military supplies. Although the mercenaries also use a lot of things like half-body armor, most of them are custom-made, and most of their styles are strange, and they rarely buy finished goods. And this kind of standard, which looks like no difference, is only used by the military.
However, the circulation channels of this kind of military supplies are very strictly secret, and not everyone can get their hands on them. Judging from the appearance of this group of ragtag troops in front of them, they do not have such strength and such energy. If this group of guys were lucky enough to get some military supplies in the previous battle, it would be far-fetched but it would have been said in the past. However, this possibility is really low and does not need to be calculated.
But now You Lian didn't dwell too much on this problem, instead of wasting brain cells here to think, it was easier to open his mouth and ask directly, and besides, didn't the other party send it to the door by himself?
At this moment, the originally scattered rebel soldiers also saw Yulian's existence. After all, in such a small town that is almost in ruins, one person and one carriage is still very conspicuous.
"Hey, look, there's someone!"
When they saw Yuren, one of them immediately shouted, and when they heard his voice, those who didn't know which direction to focus their attention immediately turned their heads and looked carefully ahead. Then, with a hehe-hey laugh, and without even waiting for anyone to speak, the fellows immediately drew their weapons from their waists and surrounded them from both sides.
I have to say, the quality of these guys is really miserable.
Originally, Yulian thought that although these guys looked scattered, they might still have a certain military strength. However, as soon as these guys moved, their problems immediately showed themselves in front of Yulian. Not only did these guys draw their weapons in different ways, but even one of the unlucky ones forgot to put on his gloves, and as a result, his hand stuck to the cold scabbard, and he cried out in pain several times before drawing his sword, and then he threw the scabbard far to the side with a flick of his hand.
This can no longer be called an army, even the street thugs are probably better than them.
"Hey, what are you!"
Just as Yulian was helplessly holding his forehead and sighing, one of the people in the group who looked like a commander strode forward, stood in front of Yulian, and shouted.
"What are you doing here?!"
"I'm just a traveler. ”
Yuren lowered his hand, shrugged his shoulders, then looked at the man in front of him and replied.
"I'm currently traveling around, but now...... I'm just here to see the snow on this plain. ”
"Hey, shit, what traveler, do you think we're all blind?"
In the face of Yu Lian's answer, the man in the lead sneered and tilted his head, then spat at the mouth, and then raised his sword and pointed at Yu Lian.
"You're a nobleman!"
"I'm not denying it. ”
Yuren spread his hands very innocently.
"And, judging by my outfit, I think you should be able to tell the same......... Maybe I'm expecting too much from your IQ?"
"Shut your foul mouth, nobleman!"
Although I don't know what "IQ" means in Youlian's mouth, these guys are really not so stupid that they can't even understand what they say.
"Nobles are nothing good! Listen, bastard, you are now a captive of our Holy Freedom Resistance Alliance! Disarm now, dismount and surrender! Otherwise, you look good! Do you hear that?! Now, get off my horse at once!"
As he spoke, the man squinted his eyes and glanced at the carriage beside him.
"Who's in this carriage?"
"It's my family. ”
Yulian answered the other party's question very frankly, but he was still sitting on the horse, and he didn't have the slightest intention of dismounting.
"Is this guy crazy?"
And in the ruins not far behind Yu Lian, several pairs of eyes were watching the scene in front of them through the gap, they were the refugees in the town, and now, looking at Yu Lian's leisurely appearance. Many of them shouted in a low voice, Holy grace is above, is the nobleman really so arrogant? There are hundreds of people on the other side, and he has only one. This group of guys doesn't respect his status as a nobleman, and if there is a fight at that time, won't this nobleman be killed by the other party directly?
"Let them come out!And you, get off my horse at once!!"
"I refuse. ”
Originally, these rebel soldiers thought that there were so many people on their side, and there was only one nobleman, and they looked so young, they were afraid that they would be frightened. But they didn't expect that, after waiting for a moment, they were waiting for such an answer.
"What did you say?"
"I refuse. ”
Yulian smiled very elegantly, and then he spread his hands and looked at the people in front of him, as if they were his friends. However, the words that came out of Yuren's mouth did not contain any kind meaning at all.
"As a nobleman, I will not be ordered by anyone, especially you inferior people who are similar to bandits and robbers, you are not qualified to give orders to me at all, and even your words are a kind of stain to me, and inferior people should understand the status of inferior people, and obediently shut up for me and don't make a sound. ”
"Holy grace is on .........!!"
Hearing this, the refugees hiding in the ruins behind were all stunned at the moment, they were not surprised by Yulian's words, in fact, the gap between nobles and commoners was like this. Not to mention those criminals, who don't even have the power to look up at trial. Because following the law, even if these sinners look at the nobles, it is an insult to the nobles, and they can be directly executed on the spot. And right now, these guys, although they call themselves rebels, are not much different from criminals. So, they weren't surprised that Yulian would say that.
But the problem is, noble young master, this is not your warm and comfortable home, not the heavily guarded big city, and there are no guards around you, don't you sincerely seek death when you say this?
"Good boy......"
Sure enough, hearing Yulian's words, the eyes of these rebel soldiers immediately turned red.
"What kind of bullshit is a nobleman, he dares to put up a fight in front of us, I think you are impatient! Brothers, give it to me, let's chop this damn bastard into meat sauce!!"
"Oh!!"
Hearing the leader's order, the rebel soldiers immediately raised their weapons and roared loudly, and then they immediately rushed towards Yuren.
If it were a regular army, it would definitely not launch such a haphazard attack. But right now, these guys aren't even amateur soldiers, and they completely ignore the fact that the other is on a horse, and they are running on only two legs. Yuren's previous words had completely angered the soldiers, and the only thing they wanted to do now was to immediately pull this disgusting, damn and arrogant aristocratic boy off his horse, and then slash him into meat sauce to see what he dared to say!!
The corners of Yulian's mouth curled slightly as he stared at the rebel soldiers rushing towards him, and then he let go of the hilt of his sword and lowered his hand.
The other party is nothing more than a rabble, and he is not qualified to draw his sword at all.
Yulian stretched out his right hand, grasped the reins, and shook it slightly.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound whispered, and at this moment, the Shadow Warhorse under Yuren seemed to have received some command, and it shook its head from side to side in dissatisfaction, and then neighed. Then he lifted his front half high -- and then stomped heavily on the ground.
“―――!!!”
There was no sound, and nothing changed.
At the moment when the Phantom War Horse stepped on the ground, the rebel soldiers who rushed forward immediately felt a cold wind deep into their bone marrow coming towards them, and the warmth measures on their bodies seemed to have no effect in the face of this cold wind, and soon, the cold wind passed through their bodies, and then took away the only remaining heat in their bodies.
One by one, the soldiers fell, they maintained the posture of charging forward, but they no longer had the illusion of controlling their bodies, as if in an instant, someone had cut the rope that was supposed to hold their bodies, and they fell to the ground without any reaction.
Since these rebel soldiers did not even have the most basic military training, they also ran in a dense manner, and the greatest consequences of this dense formation were immediately exposed. Hundreds of soldiers fell directly to the ground, reduced to cold corpses, and they did not even have the slightest struggle, nor did they resist at all, or rather, these people had fallen into the abyss of death before they could find out what had happened.
"Hmph. ”
Looking at the corpse that rushed to the ground in front of him, Yulian snorted softly, and then, he instigated his war horse again, slowly moving forward, and after trampling dozens of corpses, Yulian stopped beside a man. With a soft, cold smile, he looked down at the shivering man at his feet.
"How does it feel?"
"You......... What are you...... What do you want to do........."
This man was the commander of the rebels before, and he was also on the ground at this moment, but he was not completely dead like his companions, but still breathing. But even so, looking at his hands and feet, which have completely lost control, it is conceivable that the death of this man is only a matter of time. What is rare is that even so, this man still did not forget to glare at Yu Lian, it seems that although his IQ is not low enough to understand what others are saying, it is not high enough to understand what is going on right now.
"By doing this, you are making yourself an enemy of the Holy Freedom Resistance Alliance!!"
He struggled with his teeth, and it was not easy to say this, but considering his physical condition, it was already rare.
"You're not going to end well, you ........."
"Smack!!"
Before the man could finish his words, he heard a crisp whip, and then a fierce pain immediately came from his cheek, which made the man cry out in pain.
"It seems that you don't seem to understand the current situation. ”
You Lian, like many "educated" nobles, was gently stroking the horsewhip in his white-gloved hand at this moment, and the chill in his eyes seemed to be colder than this snowfield.
"But it's okay, I'll let you understand, now, I want you to answer my questions sentence by sentence, do you understand?"
“............ What if I don't answer?"
The man gritted his teeth, gasping and glaring at Yuren viciously.
"Don't answer?"
Hearing this, Yulian smiled and raised his eyebrows. Then, he reached out and patted the Shadow Warhorse's neck. At Yuren's instructions, the Shadow Warhorse turned, and then, it raised its left front hoof, and stepped heavily on the man's right palm.
"Woo-ah-ah-ah!!!!"
The terrible screams echoed over the snowy fields, and even startled a few birds perched in the grove not far away. Yulian seemed to be deaf to the man's screams, and he only paused for a moment before answering with a smile.
"If you don't answer...... Look, I've already demonstrated it for you, haven't I?"
"I say, I'll say everything!!"
Until this moment, unless he was a fool, anyone with normal judgment could understand the situation at hand, so the man shouted loudly, he twisted his body desperately, and then vigorously raised the other hand that had survived, and waved it vigorously, as if to sign, as if to dodge.
"Damn it, the grace of God is above!!I'll say whatever you want me to answer!!"
"Good. ”
Hearing this, the smile on You Lian's face finally retracted a little.
"So, let's introduce yourself, who are you and what do you want to do?"
"We are......... Holy Freedom Resistance Alliance, I am a squad leader, we came out this time to collect food and supplies for the winter........."
"What are you fighting against?"
"Revolt against the aristocracy...... Resist those damned officials, they can all live a good life, and we can only starve and freeze, and we can't even eat, these damn ........."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yulian smiled.
"And then? You want to overthrow them? What about after overthrowing?"
"After overthrowing these guys, we will build a freer country!"
"What an amazing ideal. ”
Yuren nodded, then he sorted out the information in his head, and then spoke again.
"I've heard that there seems to be a mage acting with you?"
"That's right!"
Hearing the word mage, the man seemed to have his courage again.
"They're foreign mages, but they're willing to help us, to help our ideals! they're good people! Hmph, I'm telling you, if I can't go back, those mages will come out looking for us. By that time, you'll be finished! Now, let me go at once! Do you hear me!!"
"It's terrible to be stupid. ”
Yulian sighed, he looked at the man next to him with pity, and shook his head.
"Actually, I really wanted to let you go, after all, I'm very curious about those mages. But now it looks like they're coming, even if they don't let them go. Then there's no need for me to let you go...... It's a pity that you buried a chance to survive yourself. ”
As he spoke, Yulian patted the head of the Shadow Horse again, and the Shadow Horse, who had been instructed, turned its body again, and then raised its front kick.
"Wait, you, you can't do this!!Those mages will kill you!You damn nobleman, you can't ......!!"
"Smack!"
The man's shouting came to an abrupt end with the sound of the horse's hooves falling again and the sound of a watermelon being shattered. And Yulian only then raised his head and looked at the sky.
"I hope they can come sooner, it's not a pleasure to blow the wind here. ”
