"Why don't we go in and have a look?"

Faced with two pairs of eyes full of their own opinions, Gabriel only felt that Alexander, looked at Nader to the left, and then looked at Elizabeth to the right, Gabriel still decided to follow his heart, decided to go over and see, in his mind, can save one is one, as long as the other survives, then it is worth the delay of a day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After speaking, Gabriel cautiously looked at Elizabeth on the side, Gabriel knew very well that for those who did not know each other, Elizabeth's consistent attitude was 'about my', and now doing it by himself, for himself, is to save people's lives and create a seventh-level floating slaughter, but for Elizabeth it is nosy, in the face of the attitude of the person he cares about the most, Gabriel is like a prisoner waiting for the judge's sentence, with pitiful eyes, begging for alms to look at Elizabeth.

Looking at Gabriel's eyes like a pet, Elizabeth sighed softly, she was a little sorry for Gabriel in her heart, if she rejected him now, I don't know if this emotionally sensitive teenager will suffer greater setbacks, in this way, what she said before will indeed become nonsense and lies, which is not what Elizabeth is happy to see, although being nosy is not Elizabeth's original intention.

But the lesser of the two powers, in terms of Gabriel's trust in herself and meddling in her affairs, Elizabeth would rather choose to do more, as long as this can make Gabriel feel better, thinking so, Elizabeth's idea of resistance in her heart was dispelled a lot, nodded and agreed.

However, for safety reasons, Elizabeth first let Gabriel get out of the carriage with her, dragged the two horses with the carriage to the surrounding haystacks and hid them, and then collected some of the surrounding weeds and put them around the two horses, one to hide their tracks.

Second, I also want to find something to eat for the horses, so that the horses will not be hungry, otherwise if there is no food, if they are hungry and scream, if there is a knight-level enemy in the village, it will be a big deal, not a victory, first a defeat, the cautious Elizabeth will never allow her failure to be due to her own carelessness, which is also the reason why she has been able to live until now.

After doing all this, she looked at the surrounding situation, most of which was plain, and standing on the carriage and looking into the distance, Elizabeth could rarely see tall trees, mostly low bushes and weeds about the height of a man, and around the village were patches of farmland, but it seemed that the farmland here had obviously been harvested, and looked at the haystacks left over from the harvest.

Elizabeth speculated that the harvest in this village was obviously not particularly good, and the haystacks on many fields were wilted, and it looked like it was suffering from drought, and there was a bloody massacre in such a village, obviously not for food, so it should not be those homeless people who attacked them, after all, they were burdened with the end of their own lives to attack a place where there was no food at all, even if it was homeless, Elizabeth did not think they would be so stupid.

"Then if it's not the outcasts, then who would come here to kill these villagers?" Elizabeth stood on the carriage, the elves in the air around her scattered in the extremely strong smell of blood, and the elves who remained here became very scarce, and it became very difficult for Elizabeth to extract the part she needed from their memories, so she could only rely on the reasoning of her own brain, but it was really difficult for her to figure out that a poor village without even food was worth looting. And still in such a cruel way.

It was not necessary to look at it, but such a thing really happened, which made Elizabeth feel a little strange, and she could not help but be cautious about what was happening in this village, and after getting out of the carriage, she told Gabriel and Father Nader about her observations, and the two of them also understood Elizabeth's concerns, and grasped the two long knives hidden in the carriage one by one, and then approached the smoke-emitting village from the bushes in the most prudent way.

"Father Nader, do you think they could be the mysterious people we met in Lyon that day, and this village has the miracle they were looking for, so they attacked this village?"

In the surrounding area are countless shrubs growing sideways branches and leaves, by the time of winter, these side branches have already dropped the leaves on the ground because they can't absorb enough water and sunlight, coupled with the rapid drop in temperature, and the originally moist branches have become sharp blades at this time, so that all the clothes on the people who pass by this shrub are broken into pieces, which is very uncomfortable.

Especially compared to the relaxed Elizabeth and Nader, whose clothes were made of special materials, Gabriel's situation was even more embarrassing, shuttling through the thorn bushes, the dry branches touched his skin along the broken clothes, again and again, until the white skin turned red, and did not forgive Gabriel, although there was no blood, but this itching and numbness was enough for Gabriel to stand it, and he could only endure not screaming because of that senseless masculinity, and could only use whispering to divert the pain in his body.

"Well, I don't think it's the same group, they only have two people, and this village, if you look at the area, it must have a scale of about four or five hundred people, it should be regarded as a big village, if a little city wall is being built around, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small town, how many adult men can there be, I think it will not be less than two hundred.

In addition, along the way, we saw the dead cattle and sheep bones on the side of the road, presumably this place should have suffered a perennial drought, which caused many livestock to die on the side of the road, so, Gabriel, in such a state of scarce food, if it was an ordinary village, it would have already scattered and fled with its family, and what about this village?

They didn't leave here because of the lack of food, but continued to live on the land, even if there was not enough food for them for a year, they still didn't waver in their thoughts, why did they do this, Gabriel, have you thought about it?"

Nader pushed away the branches in front of him with the long knife in his hand, and said to the people behind him, the knife in his hand, the blade was facing the trees, and the place where the blade was cut was facing himself, he was afraid that if he accidentally cut those branches too hard, he would make some discordant noises and be heard by the people in the village, and then the suffering he had suffered now would be in vain.

"I really haven't thought about it, Father Nader, do you have any ideas?" Gabriel asked the question just to divert attention, for those who were slaughtered in the village, it was only to bless the inherent justice of the protagonist in the knight's novel, as for what happened in this village and who the attacker was, Gabriel really didn't use his brain carefully.

Anyway, in his brain, killing innocent people is a crime, and what he needs to do is to punish them, as for the identity of those people, it has nothing to do with him at all, with this thought, Nader asked Gabriel this question, it was undoubtedly a waste of time, Nader was not surprised to hear Gabriel's answer, and said:

"The reason why they can continue to stay here is that these people are either full of nostalgia for this land, or the men of this village have strong strength and can plunder food from other villages, so that they can survive on such a large scale, except for these two reasons, I can't think of a third one for the time being.

In front of such an armed force, although those two people are powerful, they are still human beings at most, no matter how strong the strength is, it is almost the limit to one enemy and one hundred, in such a state, if you want to do such a slaughter scene now, I don't think they can do it so easily, so it must not be them, or rather, not only them. “

Nader doesn't believe in his own speculation 100%, it's just that this speculation is the most logical in his brain, as for what the truth is, I'm afraid it still needs to be seen closely, but the closer it gets, Nader can already slightly feel the murderous and resentful aura that Elizabeth and Gabriel said, this feeling makes his body a little cold, and the joints of the hand holding the long knife are a little stiff, this is the first time Nader feels murderous when he hasn't seen the corpse, I have to say, this feeling, it's very bad。

The road in the bushes was very difficult to walk, Elizabeth was still behind Gabriel and Nader, but as she walked, she became a little impatient, for no reason, but the people in front of her walked too slowly, Elizabeth thought that she was just a dog now anyway, and others would not feel strange when they saw her, why were they so sneaky like Gabriel and Nader?

Elizabeth didn't think that after a few light jumps, Elizabeth turned around and saw that Nader and Gabriel had already disappeared under the reckless bushes, and only through the slight strange shaking of the branches, she could judge the location of Nader and Gabriel, and if she didn't look carefully, she really couldn't see it.

In this way, Elizabeth also jumped forward a few more times with confidence, with the advantage of being as light as a swallow, Elizabeth had reached the periphery of the bushes in a few clicks, and it was very close to the village with a faint fire in the smoke, the distance was only about five or six hundred meters, standing at the end of this bush, Elizabeth could even smell a substantial stench, this smell, once in the Trojan Horse Massacre, Elizabeth had smelled, and had also smelled in the Carthaginian massacre, as expected, this should be the smell of human flesh being roasted。

Elizabeth's eyes narrowed, the cruelty of these murderers is really unexpected, it seems that in their eyes, human beings are no longer the same species as them, they can treat these people like animals, their ferocity is definitely not what ordinary bandits can achieve, these people must have a more noteworthy identity, for example, the army...

The army, the most disciplined organization of all organizations in the world, is also the most violent of all organizations, in this ancient era, the army did not have the obligation to help the civilians, they only served the people who gave them money, the army is an organization, obeying orders is the duty, killing others is the profession, their existence is the cornerstone of the existence of a country, this cornerstone can ensure the survival of the country externally, internally, it is to eliminate dissent.

It can be said that its horror and efficient organizational ability are the main reasons why human beings can dominate the world, and only these people will not treat people as human beings when they kill people, after all, life has no meaning at all for them, and the heads represent not a life, but a reward, if these people roast people into cooked meat and eat them, Elizabeth will definitely not be surprised, and also think it is very reasonable, so after smelling this smell, Elizabeth's first reaction is ' This is what the army did. ’

As for where this army came from and why it slaughtered this village, Elizabeth didn't think about it, after all, the idea of the army was just an idea, for France, Elizabeth didn't know the power structure of this land, after all, when she was locked up in that world where birds and flowers were silent and lifeless, the land of France was still survived by the bravest pioneers of Rome and those Gallic native barbarians, as for the Kingdom of France, Elizabeth didn't know at all, just as he didn't know the Holy Roman Empire。

Most of the dynasties Elizabeth has seen are like the Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Egypt, in these kingdoms, the emperor is supreme, the courtiers are slaves, and the divine power is in front of the royal power, either bowing down to the vassals and combining with it, or being crushed in the dust, becoming a meaningless god statue, losing all believers in the erosion of time, becoming a simple work of art displayed in the major palaces, losing the dignity of the gods.

But when Elizabeth woke up and saw the first country, the Holy Roman Empire, Elizabeth's concept of kingdom was completely turned upside down.

In this country, there were more than 2,000 independent states, and they had their own lords, who made laws, administered territories, built armies, and improved facilities in their own domains, and the emperor had only his own fiefdoms under his jurisdiction.

And between each lord, even the earl and the duke, belong to different factions, with the family name after their name and have a different division, even the emperor is voted by the electors, this is in Elizabeth's mind, but only in the city-state of the political system has been seen, since the formation of the concept of the state, this concept of voting has long disappeared, but I did not expect to see it again after this thousand years, and it is precisely because of this that Elizabeth, who is completely unfamiliar with France, is not completely sure whether her guess is correct, so she can only move forward slowly and continue to advance。
