6. Take it! (Ask for recommendation, ask for collection!) )
The other party is also a soldier of Sturgia?
Instead of panicking, Ron is now more suspicious in his heart, could it be that the inferences he made based on what White said were all wrong?
But his face was still calm, and he did not show the slightest suspicious move, Ron reined in the reins of the horse and then slowly raised his right hand, and the four people behind him stopped at the same time, and their movements were neat and unobtrusive, showing the well-deserved combat quality and good military discipline of the imperial soldiers.
It seems that the people on Ron's side are more soldiers, and the villagers of unknown reason have surrounded them.
Strange as the world is, the villagers of Sturgia are asking for help from the Imperium disguised as Sturgia soldiers to deal with the real Sturgian soldiers.
There is quite a kind of black humor in which national contradictions and class contradictions are confused.
"Who are you?" With a mouthful of spit spitting out from his mouth, the man led by the soldiers of Stegia stood up, "What are you doing here?" ”
Unfortunately, Ron didn't understand what the man was saying, because he spoke the language of the Stegians and spoke so fast that it was like a recording of a foreign language listening test.
Ron had been able to converse with Bjorn fluently thanks to the terrifying cultural assimilation of the Calradian Empire, and for a long time, other peoples, including the Sturgia, had made it fashionable to learn the culture and language of Calradia.
Even now, after the collapse of the Calradia Empire, the legacy of the once great empire is still reflected in every aspect of the continent.
However, when Ron confronted this group of Stegians, it was impossible for him to respond in Imperial Chinese after the other party opened the topic in Stegia, which was like communicating with a countryman, and he had to drag foreign language with you when you were talking normally.
It's either two devils or 500,000 walking.
When he was anxious, it was the scout who spoke again, although the accent was a little jerky, but it could be understood that he was frozen by the damn weather, "Who are you?" What did you do to these villagers? ”
Ron let out a long sigh of relief, he really underestimated the potential that White contained, Scout, really worthy of the elite! And Ron always had a gloomy face and did not respond, and someone who was a subordinate spoke on his behalf, which confirmed the speculation that his status was not low in the eyes of everyone.
Some villagers had the courage to speak to White, "My lord! They are not soldiers! They are robbers! The women of the village have been caught in the mountains by them! ”
"Damn! Despicable thing, say who is a robber! ”
When the leader heard that the identities of himself and the others were directly exposed by the villagers, the original plan to trick Ron and the others into killing them went bankrupt in an instant, and in a fit of shame, he directly raised his axe, twisted his whole body and threw it hard!
The throwing axe swirled and whizzed, as if it was about to tear the informant villager to pieces in the next moment.
Another throwing axe suddenly appeared, directly knocking back the life-seeking axe from its original trajectory.
Karl wiped the secretions from the tip of his nose and looked playfully at the stunned bandits, and raised his other hand axe defiantly, meaning they could do it again.
"Let them stand down first." Ron kept an eye on the other side's every move, and after confirming that the number of the other party was also only five, he ordered the other three to take the villagers to safety.
Imperial Chinese? The villagers, who had been saved by Carl, were overjoyed to hear Ron's words.
With the collapse of the Calradian Empire, two different voices began to emerge within Sturgia, with the conservative aristocracy claiming that the Empire was a vile and shameful invader who was eating away at their culture in addition to oppressing the land on which they lived, and that now that the Empire was gone, they had to restore the culture of the Stedians themselves.
On the other hand, the more tolerant faction advocated embracing the legacy of the collapse of the empire in order to consolidate the newly acquired land they had acquired over the years.
The contradiction between the two has intensified, even to the point that it is difficult for the Supreme King to mediate. The conservatives, who had gained the upper hand in the infighting, reverted to the old system of Stirgia in their own domains, which was a disaster for the farmers who had lived on the land for generations.
Overnight, they went from freedmen to serfs of the nobles, deprived of all property except their lives, and even their own lives were taken away by the nobles.
Now the nobles who are talking about the emperor Chinese have actually come to the territory of the conservatives...... Could it be said?
The villagers did not dare to think about it, so they could only bury all these words in their stomachs when they went to safety.
"Two people fight five people? Are you so confident? The bandit leader shouted, but as the distance between Carl and them grew closer, he really saw how strong Carl was, how arrogant he had been before, and how unconfident he was now.
"Listen, everything! Everything can be discussed! ”
Ron and Carl stepped forward, and the unkind look of the comer completely made the bandit leader panic, "Listen! Listen! I don't want to get involved in a fight between you lords! Money, all the money taken from the village is given to you! Let me go! ”
Carl picked up the hand axe he had dropped from the ground, and with the other one in his hand, Carl looked like the immortal berserker of Stegia's legend.
And Ron is armed with a riding spear, although it does not have the shocking expressiveness of Carl, but the bandit leader always feels that his riding spear is the most terrifying thing on the scene.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, but the robber leader's almost survival instinct guessed correctly.
With a lethality of up to one and a third of people (units), it is really not too easy to stab this group of robbers.
"! I'm just doing things with money! There's no need to do anything between us! I mean it! ”
Under the onrushing threat, the bandit leader unconsciously took a step back.
It was a obviously insignificant step, which directly cost him his own life, and survived countless life-and-death fights, Ron's experience is so old, and the gap of taking half a step back is the time when the other party is completely defenseless.
He only took a big step forward, and the two-meter-long rifle pierced the opponent's throat.
Blood spurted out and then coagulated into pieces, and the remaining robbers stared at what was happening in front of them in astonishment, and they didn't know how to move!
Everything happened so fast!
For Ron, he simply took a step forward, handing out the rifle with ease, and the other party naturally fell.
But in the eyes of these robbers, this is not the case at all!
Ron seemed to disappear from their eyes for a moment, then appeared out of thin air at a distance enough to kill people, and then their leader died in a daze!
"Ahhh!!!hhh
Karl followed Ron's movements, and he first let out a more Sturgian war cry than the Sturgia, which directly shattered the courage of the rest of the people to resist.
Two axes came out of their hands, and the two robbers in front of them fell to the ground, their heads left with deep dents that could never be erased, like the marks of a lumberjack on a tree.
"What exactly did this man just say?" Puzzled, Ron confused and pulled his rifle from the bandit leader.
"I don't know." Carl shook his head, "But looking at the way he swears, he must be scolding, right?" ”
The only two bandits left at the scene were completely frightened, and after seeing the tragic death of their companions, they simply prostrated on the ground and prayed for Ron's mercy.
"I only need one of you."
Ron pointed to the hand axe that remained in the bandit's skull, didn't say anything directly, and turned away.
After understanding Ron's words, the two robbers scrambled to pull out the axes from the corpse.
The battle continues.
Arriving at the safety of the three whites, Ron heard the villagers crying silently as soon as he got closer, although he still couldn't understand it, and he needed to be reminded by White from time to time to barely understand what the other party meant.
It wasn't until the five of Ron were invited to sit in the village house, and under White's intermittent explanations, everyone sorted out the current predicament facing the village.
The village belonged to the domain of a conservative Stedian nobleman, but after the nobleman restored the old Stedia system, the people of the village flatly rejected the fate of becoming serfs, drove out the tax collectors sent by the noble lords, and declared autonomy.
The nobleman thought that this group of countrymen was out of his control, and the ignorant and ignorant would naturally fall into poverty and destituteness, and eventually have to return to his own jurisdiction, but what he did not expect was that after breaking away from his control, the village would grow stronger and stronger, so that other territories under his name also moved towards them.
Therefore, he was ready to take over his territory by force, but the war with the Northern Empire forced him to stop this plan, but he still had a way to use the village to recruit some robbers and bandits to do his thing.
Ron, and they happened to meet the group of robbers who pretended to represent peace talks with the village, and then plundered.
When the villagers who had fled saw Ron and the others coming, they all thought that they were sent by the lord, and they only asked them for help with the mentality that they would rather become serfs than die at the hands of robbers now.
Of course, the latter part of the information was told to Ron by the only survivor of the five, and now the survivor is being held in a corral by the villagers.
"My lord! My merciful adults! ”
The warmth in the house was dispelled by the cold wind outside, and the head of the village pushed open the door with a sad expression, "Please save the girl in the village!" ”
