"Grand Master, the enemy's main force has been wiped out by us, and the remnants of the army are holding on to the hillside ahead, please give the next order!" A knight covered in blood came to him, with a crossbow bolt stuck deep in his left arm, but the blood and pain could not hide the pride on his face. Levi looked at the hillside in the distance and thought for a while, "Order: The infantry form a shield formation, the infantry archers are fifteen paces behind the infantry, the rangers detour on the right side, the cavalry outflanks on the left, and the whole slowly advances to narrow the encirclement!" "Yes!"

Lévi rode to the infantry bow team, "Squadron leader, how many arrows are left?" "Report to Grand Master, now there are an average of 7 arrows left per person" "Huh?? Enough, Banner Officer, order the archers to rain two rounds of arrows!" "Yes!" After a while, the archers began to shoot arrows, and the enemy turned around and crouched down to raise their shields to defend, "Infantry, three rounds of arrow rain volley!!" "Yes!"

A few seconds later, a rain of arrows flew towards the enemy, and the enemy who was attacked in the back instantly fell in large pieces. The dead were stuck with arrows in their backs, and the wounded fell to the ground screaming.

"Shout, order them to surrender, or not one will be left!" It didn't take long for the enemy to lay down his arms and come over with a white flag.

The warriors raised their weapons and shouted, "Victory!!" "Hooray!!" "Hooray!!" Levi looked around at the warriors around him, and his pride was spontaneous.

Uh~ It hurts???" Levi got up, the sun was on his ass, and he got to work!" "Helen, can't you be light?" Levi said while rubbing her head, the girl in front of her was called Helen Bauer, the daughter of Uncle Chris next door, 15 years old this year, petite and cute, with big bright eyes, and a few freckles on her fair face, which did not detract from her appearance, but on the contrary, it seemed to have a hot taste. "We don't have many cattle in Sharpster, and Butler said that his cattle will only lend us two days, and if you can't finish plowing the land, you will go and be a cow! Hurry up, my father is waiting for you, and I will go and prepare some food. The little girl walked away without looking back.

Levy's parents died when he was very young, and his grandfather had gone to Heaven two years earlier, and the family could not cultivate the land themselves, so they had to ask their neighbor, Uncle Chris Ball, to help. Lévi got dressed and opened the cupboard, there was a small bag of seeds in it, and this year he relied on them to fill his stomach, Lévi did not pick up the seeds, but picked up a horseshoe next to him and looked at it in a daze: Reinhardt Ossenbach, this is the name of a nobleman, I heard the deceased grandfather say, the ancestors were the nobles of Pande, and for some reason they were exiled, and all their territories and property were confiscated, and finally they went into exile to Sharpste. This most remote village in the northwestern part of the Pander continent became a farmer, and this ordinary horsehoe became the only testimony of the surname Eusenbach as a nobleman. "Levy~ Hurry up, do you want to be a cow!" "Okay, come." Levi put down the horseshoe, tied the seed bag around his waist, and walked out of the room.

Sharpster is the westernmost village in Livingston, and in the early spring there is still some snow in the fields, but people are busy working in the fields early, and the winter in Livingston is not only cold but also long, and it is difficult to harvest wheat if you don't hurry. Due to the remoteness, it is difficult for the army to arrive in time, the robbers always come to patronize, oh, and the enemy, and the army of the enemy country will also come to loot the grain, cattle, and women during the war, and then the village chief will take everyone to hide in the mountains, and there are only some old people in the village who can't walk, of course, they have to leave some grain, vegetables and meat, and the hungry robbers will leave when they get the food, they don't want to be wiped out by the army that arrives, and they rarely come back to take revenge when they get something. The enemy army, on the other hand, not only robbed things and women, but also burned down the village, the reason is very simple, is there still a village to pay taxes, provide food and soldiers to the lord of the other party? The only thing to be thankful for is that although the lord of Sharpster, Lord Odovic, has a bad temper, he is still merciful to the people of the territory, and he does not expropriate or demand the hateful things of the first night, but only collects taxes on time. Occasionally come to patrol the territory and recruit some young men to serve as soldiers, and when the mood is good, he will lead the army to chase down the bandits in the surrounding area. In fact, Lord Odovic did some excessive things when he first came here, but was severely reprimanded by his father, the Duke of Aldemar, and threatened to cancel the inheritance, and then our Lord Odovic immediately became a good lord who loved his people like a son, and thanked the heavens, the great dragon god, and the merciful Lord Aldemar.

"Levy, I'm distracted again!Hold up the plow!If you don't work well, beware of the northwest wind in winter!" Helen, the sharp-mouthed little girl, was counting people again, "Always thinking about something that is not doing her job, which girl in the village will marry you!" "Helen" Uncle Chris thinks his daughter is talking a little too much," Levi, I know you want to be a knight, but only nobles have that qualification, commoners are impossible, of course, it's not bad to be a civilian soldier, many senior civilian soldiers are also valued by the lord, and the salary is also a lot, but being a soldier is to die, I advise you to join the village's self-defense force in the slack time as before, even if your heroic dream is fulfilled, there will not be too much danger. Levi scratched his hair and said with some embarrassment, "Okay, Uncle Chris." "Well, do a good job," said Uncle Chris, "and in two years' time you will be able to marry a daughter-in-law when you have some family members, and your grandfather will be blind." Helen, who was interrupted by her father, was unhappy: "Hmph, I think he just doesn't do his job, father, you expect too much from him." "It's good not to do a job," Chris replied, "Levy, if you can't put your mind on the farm, then be like Eugen." ”

Uncle Eugen is the pride of our Sharpster, he also didn't like farming when he was young, it can be said that he didn't do his job, he was idle, drinking with a group of fox friends and dogs all day long. Gambling money, his parents and the village elders persuaded him many times, but it had little effect, but when everyone, including Uncle Eugen's parents, thought that he was destined to degenerate into a homeless man or a robber, one thing changed everyone's opinion, and also changed Uncle Eugen's life: it was an extremely cold winter, and a group of robbers from the Misty Mountains broke into the defenseless village, robbing food, women, They also killed some people, and just when everyone was desperate, Uncle Eugen and his fox friends appeared, and they rushed at the robbers with rudimentary weapons and bad horses, and after several hours of fighting, the robbers were all eliminated. The scarred Eugen and his friends became the heroes of the village, and they brought out the best food to entertain them, and the village chief even brought out a bottle of wine, which was only available to the nobles and the rich, and at the table Uncle Eugen cried, and he swore that he would no longer be idle, and that he would be a useful man. Later, with the financial support of the villagers, Uncle Eugen set up a caravan and hired a lot of mercenaries to exterminate the robbers while doing business, and for a long time, the surrounding robbers did not dare to come to Sharpster, and only came to rob when food was extremely scarce and Uncle Eugen was far away. In recent years, Uncle Eugen has moved to Yang Weikeshuo, and the bandits have gradually become rampant.

"Yes! Be someone like Uncle Eugen. Levi thought to himself, and his sore arm seemed to have strength again. Well, why did the cow stop, Levi raised his head, Uncle Chris had already released the reins, and looked at several horseback riders at the entrance of the village, "It's a robber! The Misty Mountain robbers are coming! Helen! Hide!" It's too late, the robbers have already seen them, and they rushed over on horseback, and before Uncle Chris could lift his hoe, the wooden hammer raised by the robber on horseback smashed on Chris's head, knocking him unconscious. Levi picked up a fork and pointed at the other robber's spur, and the horse stopped, "Boy, there are two hits" The robber said with a smile, and slowly walked to the left with the horse, Levi stared at the robber and turned around, the fork was always facing the horse. Suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and before he could turn back, Levi was hit by a huge impact and flew out, his back hurt terribly, Levi struggled to get up, and a lasso flew over and put it around his neck and pulled him down at once, "Quick, put the old thing on too, hahahaha." Another robber urged the horse to Helen, who was huddled in a ball, "No~let go of me~" The robber pulled Helen on the horse's back and pressed him to the saddle "Have fun again tonight, go, go to the village." "Bastard, let her go!" Lévi got up and shouted, one of the robbers looked back at Lévy, "Boy, worry about yourself first!Drive!" Whipped the horse hard, "Ah~~" The rope around his neck stiffened, pulling Levi to the ground, "Yes! drag him to death!" The robber laughed wildly and gave the horse another whip. Levi's hands clung to the rope around his neck, his head shattered, his clothes frayed, and his body tumbling from the road at the edge of the field to the village square.

The pain was as long as centuries, and finally stopped, and the square was surrounded by robbers, as many as seventy or eighty, and the villagers were surrounded in the center, "Ah~~" A shout, a leader-like robber took a bear claw and smashed it on the leg of a self-defense member, "Resist~ Why don't you fight? See? This is the end of going against me!!" "Stop" The village chief walked out, "You have robbed us of our food, please don't hurt people anymore." The leader of the robbers squinted at the village chief: "Old thing, you are very smart, you always leave some food in the village, and then hide, but ~~~ There is no next time! Are you a beggar?" The leader of the robbers slapped the village chief in the face, "Labor and management are robbers! I want women! Say ~ Where are the young women hiding?" "The young women have moved away." The village chief said firmly, "You can take the food and leave, it won't be long before the army comes." "Don't scare us, Livingston is already at war with Fieldsway, the army is concentrated in Livingston, don't expect Eugena bastard, he will not come when he goes to Affindor, give money and women, I won't kill you, otherwise kill them all." Hearing this, the eyes of the villagers dimmed, and Eugen~~ The last glimmer of hope was also shattered, "Although the food is taken, the women are gone." ”

"This old thing is lying!" The robbers who grabbed Levi's three people pulled Helen over: "See, there is a woman here, it looks like she is still a chick, and the rest of the women must be hidden by the old thing~~" The leader of the robbers grabbed Helen's neck and sniffed it fiercely, "Yes, the woman is so fragrant, it's really a good thing," he kicked Levi who was lying on the ground, "Boy, tell me, where the woman is hiding, I will spare you, if you like it, this girl is yours, I promise, no one will rob you." ”
