Russell looked at the heavily armed Sister Marlene and smiled: "If Sister Marlene can have the combat power to protect yourself, this is also a very good thing, then the two of us should not delay the time, hurry up and gather at the city gate!"

"Lord Russell, please wait a moment, I still have a few subordinates rushing here! you don't think the church will only send the two of us to fight this time, do you?"

After a quarter of an hour, several figures hurried from the streets on horseback.

Russell took a closer look, but was surprised to find that the subordinates mentioned by Sister Marlene were not clergy, but rather dressed as mercenaries.

The group rolled down from the pack horses and stood in a neat row, in front of Sister Marlene's eyes.

In contrast, the horses and equipment of these men were much more worn, and the weapons they were carrying were a bit tattered.

There were only six people in the team, but everyone was experienced, and there were men and women in the team, but all of them were burly and covered in scars. Especially the masked middle-aged man at the head, Russell could feel the strong smell of blood emanating from his body.

Sister Marlene also smelled the masked man, and she covered her nose and asked, "Didn't I tell you that you must have taken a shower when you met me?

The middle-aged man immediately bent down to apologize,

"Merciful Sister Marlene, I'm so sorry that before we joined you, a group of small bugs with eyes wanted to rob us, and in order not to delay the time to join you, I had to kill these little bugs. ”

Russell's eyelids jumped when he heard this, listening to what the masked man said, he had killed a group of thieves who blocked the way when he came here, and he was able to endure such a heavy smell of blood all the way here, it seems that this man is not a good talker!

Sister Marlene looked at Russell and said, "These people are all mercenaries hired by the Church, because they were saved by me, and since then they have been self-serving, but they are not ordinary mercenaries, you can rest assured of their skills." ”

Later, Sister Marlene also introduced Russell to the mercenaries, and instructed them to treat Russell as a nobleman and not to deliberately neglect Russell.

Of course, the mercenaries nodded in agreement, Mother Marlene was never harsh on them, and they believed that Sister Marlene's partner was also an approachable and good person.

Now that the team of the church has been assembled, it only needs the order of Sister Marlene, who is the leader, to set off immediately.

"Alright, let's go!" said the goddess Marlentius solemnly, and then she rushed to the front, leaving Russell in place with a bitter smile.

"Sister Marlene, your speed is too fast, please wait for me!"

Russell picked up his horse from his crotch and hurried forward to catch up with Sister Marlene.

The mercenaries also hurriedly rode on horseback, driving the horses under their seats and hurriedly following Sister Marlene.

It's just that when Russell left the square, his eyes secretly looked at the window at the door of the church, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he rode out of the church square on his horse.

After Russell and Sister Marlene were gone, Betty sneaked out of the church gates, and then she looked around the square and saw that the clergy of the church were everywhere.

At the behest of Sister Marlene, they were now vigilantly watching Betty's movements in the church square, so it seemed that Betty could enter and leave the church gate at will, but as soon as she approached the church square, a large number of clergy immediately surrounded her and asked her to return.

Such strict guards didn't give Betty a chance to slip out of the church at all, and she barely had a chance to leave the church unless she suddenly grew a pair of wings.

Betty, who came back from the wall again, looked at the street where there was no trace of Russell and Sister Marlene, and muttered indignantly,

"Isn't it just going back to Saith Village? If I don't go back, I won't go back, I finally became a clergyman, and I don't want to go out with Brother Russell and them!"

Despite Betty's stubbornness, the way she looked back in the direction of the street from time to time revealed her true thoughts.

At this moment, Russell and Sister Marlene, who were worried about Betty, had arrived at the meeting point at the city gate, followed by a group of mercenaries with serious expressions.

This team is simply unapproachable, and all those who want to pass by this road, seeing such a terrifying expression, are so frightened that they quickly turn back the same way, or bypass this team far away.

Russell, of course, didn't have time to take care of these small things, he was now paying attention to the problem of joining the lord's ranks, and Russell looked at the lord's soldiers huddled together, a little worried about their combat strength.

At the wide gates, the road was large enough for two intersecting carriages to pass through, but it was blocked by passing soldiers.

There were shouts from the generals everywhere, and the insults from the soldiers crowded together, and at this moment it was even more lively than the previous bazaar, which showed the chaos of the discipline of this group of soldiers.

Seeing this, Russell could only shake his head helplessly, he had seen the discipline of the Imperial Legion, if the order of the legion's march was so chaotic, then the Imperial Legion would not be able to move an inch, and even the gate of St. Caron City would not be able to get out.

After about an hour of arguing, the soldiers who were huddled together finally re-formed a neat line under the command of the baron and walked out of the city gate in an orderly manner.

Sister Marlene saw Russell's rather helpless expression and explained: "Actually, Baron Albert's army is not as bad as you see, there are many other lords' troops here, and some generals do not listen to the baron's command at all, so there will be such a crowded situation. ”

Russell didn't agree with the nun's explanation in his heart, and the Imperial Legion was also a battle led by many lords, and it didn't appear to be blocked at the city gate?

"Let's go!"

Sister Marlene saw that the large army had left the town and hurriedly informed her team to leave.

Russell rode his horse down the country road, feeling a little upset in his heart, knowing that a few days before he was a helpless traveler, but only a few days later he became a member of the army that fought against the orc thieves.

Now, Russell is closer to his hometown, and even if he still doesn't know how to return to his original world, he has indeed taken the first step back in a down-to-earth manner!

The scenery of the countryside is still very beautiful, and the gurgling water still calms Russell's heart, but the rude soldiers will not be in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery nearby.

The soldiers ruthlessly trampled on the blooming flowers, kept picking the fruits that the farmers had worked so hard to raise, and even trampled on the unformed vegetables.

Many farmers stood on the edge of the fields and watched desperately as the soldiers were spoiling their crops, but they were afraid of the swords in their hands and did not dare to speak, but their angry expressions were overflowing.

Finally, a tall farmer could not bear it anymore, and he stepped forward to stop several soldiers from picking grapes from the field, even if he was about to be beaten by the soldiers later.

Of course, the farmer's behavior angered the soldiers who were eating the grapes, and they pushed the farmer and said defiantly: "What's wrong with us eating some of your grapes? Your family can't live on grapes, uncle, we were born and died to destroy the orcs and thieves for you, and you treat us like this? Get out of the way!"

The farmer glanced at the grape trellis that had been trampled into a puddle of muddy water, and said boldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you have done a lot of work to protect us, but the grapes and grain we have here must also feed our family, so please get out of here quickly!"

"Oh, you boy, do you want to taste the advantages of my machete?" So saying, the soldiers suddenly drew the machetes from their waists, so frightened that the farmer fell to the ground and did not dare to speak.

"Hahaha!"

The soldiers let out a smug laugh and continued to plunder the farmer's fields with impunity.

Russell watched the tragic scene from the sidelines, and suddenly felt a hint of regret, if he had not asked the baron for help, would these poor farmers not be plundered by the soldiers?

Now that it's gotten to this point, I can't sit idly by.

So Russell rode up to the group of soldiers and shouted, "Stop!"

"Boy, you are so bold, you dare to provoke us, do you know whose subordinates we are?"

The soldiers at the head scolded impatiently when they saw someone coming to interfere with their happiness.

Suddenly, the soldier noticed a group of menacing mercenaries behind Russell, who were staring at him fiercely, as if they would immediately draw their swords at him if he made the slightest move.

What frightened the soldiers even more was the banner of this team, which was the banner of the church.

The courage of the soldiers suddenly disappeared without a trace like a deflated ball.

"Everyone, warriors, please forgive us for our rudeness and stupidity, we were wrong, let's leave, we're leaving!"

Seeing that they had provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, the soldiers hurriedly nodded and apologized, and after receiving Russell's permission, ran back to their own team.

Russell was very disgusted with this kind of robbery of innocent civilians, and if he had faced this kind of behavior in the past, he would have been severely punished, but he did not have the strength now, and this group of soldiers was the baron's subordinates.

If the matter is too big, it may affect Sister Marlene's side, so Russell can only do this.

Russell dismounted and walked over to the slumped farmer to ask him how he was doing, but the farmer had resisted the soldiers' raids.

When the farmer saw that Russell was also wearing armor and holding a weapon, he also thought that Russell was an accomplice of the soldier just now, so he was so frightened that he immediately got up from the ground and stumbled away without even giving Russell a chance to explain.

Russell returned to his team quite embarrassed, but he didn't expect that he had been kind enough to help the farmer, but he was treated as a raccoon dog, which was really a waste of his kindness.

However, when Russell returned to the church, the mercenaries looked at him strangely.

Russell was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you, why are you looking at me like that?"

The masked man muffled and said, "You are a strange man, isn't it very normal for a farmer to be plundered?

Russell couldn't help but be a little stunned, it turned out that in the eyes of the mercenaries, this kind of thing had long been unusual, but it was Russell's behavior that made them feel strange.

Sister Marlene rode over at this time, looked at Russell with gentle eyes and smiled: "But you must also admit that His Excellency Russell is also a good man, and he will do righteous acts for the sake of strangers, do you think I am right?"

The mercenaries looked at Russell for a moment, then nodded in agreement with the nun's statement.

Russell looked at everyone's approval, and his depressed mood was immediately relieved a lot.
