The noise is getting louder. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Faren walked to the square, she was already a little dizzy, the corpses and blood along the way made it completely impossible for this girl who had almost never been in contact with a real battlefield to keep calm, and the reason why she was able to persist in reaching her destination was entirely because of her arrogance as a gifted knight and the calm attitude she had been training, otherwise, Faren would have already fled screaming like an ordinary girl.
"Whew...... Whew........."
The road was only a few hundred meters away, but Faren's appearance looked as if she had walked for days and nights without rest, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans. The smell of corpses and blood along the way had almost reached the limit of her patience, and although Faren had been trained rigorously, she subconsciously reminded herself not to pay attention to those corpses -- but it was really difficult to find a place where there were no corpses.
What kind of battle is this, this is simply a massacre!
Farren clenched the battle axe in her hand tightly, and for the first time in her heart, such a strong anger and murderous intent appeared. All along, Farin didn't think that he would kill anyone. Because she felt that the people who killed people were not good people, and she was so powerful, of course she couldn't be a bad person, so in the face of any battle, Faren almost never used to kill. But now, deep in her heart, she really has a killing intent. This feeling made Horin very uncomfortable, and she felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart, surging and trying to erupt, but she could only barely suppress this feeling to prevent it from getting out of control.
The noise in the square did not stop, and Farin looked up to see many people dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, surrounded by the rebel soldiers with weapons in their hands, standing aside. And the commander, who had spoken to him before, was standing opposite them at the moment.
At this moment, the civilians were trembling surrounded by armed rebel soldiers, fear, anger, insecurity and despair.
"Listen up!!"
The commander stared at the crowd in front of him, shouted angrily and waved the long sword in his hand, and when he heard his voice, the originally noisy crowd was silent.
"I declare that from now on, this city will be owned by our Holy Freedom Alliance! All of you are the people of our Holy Freedom Alliance! Do you understand? From this day on, your rulers will not be those nobles, but our Free Alliance!
“........................”
In the face of the commander's words, the crowd was silent for a moment, and then immediately burst into a roar.
"What bullshit Freedom League! You're a bunch of thugs!"
"Murderous bandits, get out of our city!"
"We don't want your freedom, you bastards, get out of here, die far away!"
"Get out of here!"
"Shut up!!"
In the face of the roar of the crowd, the commander yelled again, and he picked up his sword and pointed forward.
"I tell you, I am fighting for our freedom and justice, and no one can stop us, let alone defy us! As long as you obey the Holy Freedom Alliance, then we can guarantee your lives. You don't have the right to choose, otherwise you ......"
The sword swung through the air with a loud cracking sound.
"Shoot or kill. ”
Hearing this, those citizens were silent again, and the anger that had just burned seemed to be about to be extinguished by the cold wind.
However, not everyone eats this set.
"Phew!"
A young voice came from the crowd.
"Why are you afraid of them, these guys are not as good as regular soldiers! It's just a group of bandits! If it weren't for those mages, they wouldn't even be able to open the city gates, such a waste, what are they afraid of doing! Go on! Fight with them!!"
"Humph!"
Seeing that the crowd rioted again, the commander did not say anything more this time, on the contrary, he snorted coldly, and then waved his hand heavily.
Immediately after his gesture, two or three rebel soldiers rushed into the crowd, and after a moment of twitching, they dragged a teenager out of the crowd and threw him to the ground. But the boy was also stubborn, and got up from the ground without saying a word. Although he was unarmed, he did not look afraid at all in the face of these heavily armed soldiers, but raised his head and looked at each other with contempt.
"You're just a bunch of waste, bandits, bandits, if you kill me, but you still can't change your nature! A bunch of dogs who only give the mage to lick their boots!Woo...!"
Before the boy could finish his sentence, one of the rebel soldiers struck him in the stomach with the hilt of his sword, forcing the boy to bend down, but even so, he still stood and did not fall to the ground from the blow.
"Hmph, idiot. ”
The commander glanced at him coldly, then turned his head and looked at the people in front of him, he knew what these people were thinking, so he had to give them a full blow now, otherwise, he didn't know what would turn out of things.
"Look at it!!"
Hearing the commander's words, everyone couldn't help but look up, and then, their eyes widened in surprise.
At this moment, on the platform above the square, a group of people are standing. They were no different from the civilians before them, their faces were covered with exhaustion, fear, and blood stained on their faces and bodies. However, if you look closely, you can still find the difference -- these people are all dressed in well-textured clothing, that is, the so-called aristocratic clothing.
They are aristocrats.
The leader was a septuagenarian, his eyebrows were white, his eyes were slightly closed, and he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant. Although he has now become a prisoner of the stairs, he still does not panic at all, and looks at everything in front of him with a calm expression. When he saw the citizens surrounded by soldiers, the old man's brow furrowed slightly, but he did not speak.
"Holy grace is above, it's the city lord!, they are bastards, they even caught the city lord!!"
"These lawless thugs are terrible......"
Behind the old man were two young girls, who were now hugging each other tightly, their eyes full of fear, but although they were pale, they showed a very obvious stubbornness. The older girl, who looked like her, held her sister tightly in her arms and looked angrily at the soldiers beside her.
"The lackeys of the Senna family. ”
The commander turned and looked at the old man in front of him.
"You evil ghosts who suck the blood and sweat of the people, you didn't expect that you would have such a day. ”
The old man did not answer his words, he did not even move his brows, and stood like this.
"Repent, repent for your stupidity and greed!"
“..................”
"Don't speak?"
Looking at the old man, the commander smiled coldly, and then, he raised his right hand.
Soon, a soldier came out, he grabbed the girl behind the old man, and then pulled her hard in front of the old man.
"Sister!!"
"Sister, remember, we are members of the Senna family. ”
Although the soldiers pulled her hair, the girl's face was still calm.
"Even if you die, don't discredit our family. ”
"Get down on your knees at once, or we will kill your daughter." ”
“..................”
The old man still didn't speak.
"Father will not kneel to you filthy wild dogs. ”
The girl replied coldly.
"You are nothing but a bunch of wicked people, you are not qualified to judge my father at all, you are only ............"
The girl stretched out her hand and pointed at the commander below, but she was not finished. Because at this moment, the soldier standing behind the girl had already covered her mouth, and then put the rope wrapped around the crossbar around her neck, and pushed the girl forward hard.
The girl, who had completely lost her center of gravity, fell off the platform and fell downward, and then, the rope around her neck played the right and left as it should have been--the girl's body trembled suddenly, and then hung in the air, her eyes rolled white, her tongue sticked out of her mouth crookedly, and the long golden hair that had been well maintained was now drifting away with the sound of the wind.
Then, she was lifted like that, without the slightest breath.
"Sister!!"
“..................”
The old man's brow moved slightly, but he still did not speak.
"Oh my God, they actually killed the eldest lady, the Holy Grace is above, these demons ........."
"How?"
The commander looked at the old man with a sneer.
"If you don't get down on your knees and repent of your crimes as a lackey of the nobility, you will soon lose your daughters. ”
"Father is not guilty!"
The other girl interrupted the commander by roaring angrily.
"My father has always been in charge of this city, and he has always cared about the people here, and you guys don't understand what kind of person your father is! Just like my sister said, you are just trying to satisfy your own selfish desires! I will not let you succeed!"
As she spoke, the girl took a sharp step back, dodging the soldiers who tried to catch her, and she looked at the old man with a sad smile.
"Father, we will always be your good daughters, and we will not do anything that would damage your honor. Now, I'm going to find my sister. ”
As she spoke, the girl took another step back.
The petite body left the platform, fell downward, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Smack. ”
It was a faint, barely audible sound, but it seemed to echo in everyone's ears.
The weak and petite body lay quietly on the ground like this, without a sound, and for a while, the square was quiet. Both the people and the rebels stared blankly at the scene in front of them, as if they didn't react at all to what was happening.
“........................”
The commander frowned and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He originally thought that those nobles were cowardly and afraid of death, and as long as he scared them, he would be able to settle them immediately. But now, it is clear that the situation has taken itself by surprise.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, after all, as these people said, there were no powerful guys in this rebel army at all - even himself, he was just a reserve soldier at the beginning, and most of the knowledge he gained came from a veteran's account, and it was only by relying on these things on paper that he was appreciated by the Holy Freedom Alliance and got such a commander's position. Of course, he knew that his men were undisciplined, and that they were made up of vagrants, shipwrecked in the mountains (they don't call themselves bandits), and some mercenaries. And most of those mercenaries are third-rate goods that no mercenary group will want, because the regular mercenary group simply looks down on their own people, and they will not participate in this kind of boring.
But they have mages.
Every time they think of this, these rebels can't help but feel proud, although they don't know how powerful the people of the Freedom Alliance are, and they can find so many powerful mages, but with them here, it can be said that the war is like a fish in water -- in fact, it is not a war at all, because every time they are bombarded by magic, the other party is deserted and flees, and they just take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight behind.
However, people will always have delusions.
Over time, they think that they are also very good.
"Whew......!"
The wind sounded.
Almost subconsciously, the commander turned sideways, and then stabbed with a reflex sword.
"Wooh!!"
It wasn't until the screams began that the commander saw that this guy was the same boy in the crowd before, and he was lying on the ground at the moment, holding a dagger in his hand, and it was obvious that he had just wanted to assassinate himself.
However, no matter how low he is, he has been trained by the regular army after all, and this young man is obviously just an ordinary person, and it is still impossible to sneak attack him.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the commander frowned, he vaguely felt that things were completely out of control, and now he just wanted to end all this as soon as possible. The previous sword stabbed the boy in the lower abdomen, but it was not able to take his surname. At this moment, the young man was half-kneeling, clenching his teeth and enduring the pain, but he did not put down the dagger in his hand.
"Look, this is what will happen if you resist us!!"
The commander glanced at the crowd and saw that they had not made a big move, and his somewhat restless heart regained his steady, and he shouted as he raised his sword.
Then, swing it down firmly.
And at that moment, a dazzling light flashed.
"Ding!!"
The commander's sword had been swung down, but it had not killed the boy. In his hand, only the hilt of the sword remained. And the part of the sword body has disappeared at this moment.
What's going on?
The commander looked up in some surprise, and then he gasped.
Not far away, Faren was standing there, her tomahawk in her hand, looking coldly at the commander in front of her, and behind her, the prismatic crystal that had been levitating around her was now erected, and the sharp end was pointing at the other party--the magic light shining on it was obviously not full of kindness.
"What's going on?"
Faren couldn't suppress her feelings anymore, in fact she was still a step too late, she looked at the corpse hanging from the wooden pole, and the cold and stiff girl on the ground not far from her feet, and the anger was unbearable. The other party is a female surname who is about the same age as herself, and at this moment, Faren deeply felt the other party's feelings. They may have lived a carefree life, but because of their arrival and these damn bastards, they ended up suffering such a fate.
"What's going on!!"
Farin asked again with a loud voice that surprised herself, she didn't seem to have roared like this since she could remember.
"Fa, Master Mage......"
The commander's face turned pale for a moment, he didn't expect that this mage master hadn't left?
“............... I'll give you a chance to explain. ”
She held the tomahawk in her hand, knowing that if she moved slightly, she could kill the other person, but all the while, she had always had this feeling, but all the while, she had strictly followed the requirements of her training, suppressing this feeling that even she felt a little terrible. But now, she feels that she shouldn't be so depressed.
"This ......... My lord, these people are a mob and they are trying to kill our soldiers........."
"Mob, then, who is the one with the weapon in his hand now?"
“.....................”
"Answer me!"
“..................”
The poor commander could no longer say half a word, after all, he was not good at this in the first place, and besides, in front of the mage, there was no room for him to lie...... If it were a different time and place, then it would be okay to say. But now...... God knows how much this young lady knows.
"Die!!"
Faren didn't give the other party another chance, and as she spoke, the floating prismatic crystal shone with a magical glow, and then, turned into arrows of light, and shot forward.
"Ahhh
The only thing the poor creature could do in the face of Farien's attack was to retreat, and he desperately turned and fled, trying to escape the threat of death. However, the speed of the light was significantly faster than that of a human leg, and as soon as he turned around, the light tore through his body, then cut it into several pieces with precision.
"She killed the Commander!"
"Holy grace is above, the mage has rebelled!!"
Seeing the death of their commander, the soldiers who were still showing off their might immediately turned pale, and they immediately showed the essence of their ragtag army, I don't know who shouted, and then those soldiers immediately turned around and fled the square desperately.
"Are you okay?"
Farin didn't bother with the fleeing rebel soldiers, she hurried to the young man's side and asked in a low voice. However, the boy was looking at her at the moment, his face full of hatred and anger.
"Mage ........."
"Ah............h
"You ...... It's all a bunch of ...... Damn it...... Bastard...... Phew!"
With the last of his strength, the boy spat vigorously, then he gritted his teeth, and the division waved the dagger in his hand, but before he could raise his hand high, it hung down again.
"Ah...............h
Looking at the face that was already dead, but still gritting her teeth and hating herself, Farren subconsciously stood up, she didn't even wipe the bloodstained saliva from her face, but looked around in fear and dazed--the young man's words just now completely pulled Farin out of her anger, and she finally remembered her identity and the facts in front of her.
It was she, led by the mages, who captured the city.
"I ...... I'm not .........."
Farin turned her head to look at the people, and then at the aristocratic old man standing on the platform, she opened her mouth to defend something, but she didn't know how to say it.
"I, it's not, my ......... No, I ........."
All she saw in the eyes of these people was disgust and anger and hatred for herself.
Without a hint of kindness, naked hatred.
"I ...... I ......"
Farin looked at the corpse in front of her again, her mind blank. Then, in the next instant, the five crystals suspended beside her lit up again, and then brought a huge wave of qi.
Then Farin disappeared.
"It seems that this young lady of ours has got what she wanted, enough in return. ”
At the top of the bell tower, not far from the square, Yulian was sitting quietly, looking at the figure that was moving farther and farther away in the sky.
"Everything went well with the plan. ”
Ofaryl stood behind him, his expression a little dazed and a little sad.
"But, Lord Yuren, we could have saved these people. ”
"This is not our war, O'Faryl. ”
Yuren shrugged his shoulders.
"What's more, we didn't do any good to the change of events by saving them. Some greenhouse flowers need to see reality with their own eyes before they can learn to think. Moreover, it did not violate our agreement with the Lady Tira, I only said that I would help them expel these thugs and give them a peaceful life again, but I never said that I would protect these civilians in war. ”
With that, Yuren stood up.
"Well, the mental blow is enough, and then there is the physical pain. ”
