82. The reason why people die is because they like to die
Located just north of Ustok Fort, the village of Jemiyan is a little richer than Ustok and is the only village in the neighborhood with a population of almost 1,000 people.
Legend has it that the bandits who worship the god of the forest are hiding in the dense forest next to the village of Jemiyan, and they occupy the entire forest so domineering that even those sent by the nobles shoot them equally.
Now it seems that with the village of Zhemiyang turned into a scorched earth, the truth of this rumor has also been confirmed.
Ivanov, the contemporary leader of the robbers, or rather the leader of the religion, has been so sad lately that he has been unable to eat at all, and when he falls asleep, he is constantly awakened from nightmares, and even to play with the captive women is not much interested, and after a few minutes of hasty work, he immediately falls into infinite emptiness.
Originally, as the leader of a family organization that combines bandits and religion in the inheritance style of his father and son, Ivanov did not have much ambition in his life, nothing more than to rob a few more caravans, burn a few more women, eat more babies, and destroy a few more villages than his fathers.
In addition to these, Ivanov felt that he could barely be regarded as a man who lived in peace.
However, in the past one or two months, the people under his command have found a gold mine all the way back to the place where they used to pan for sand gold, and then four fugitives from the former Imperial Legion joined their organization, and with the help of these four Imperial People, the Divine Enlightenment Warriors have expanded several rounds in a row, and the gold mines that they had to give up have been defended, and they can also organize enough manpower to mine.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the so-called god of the forest was nothing more than a fiction of his ancestors, and that he had united in order to avoid the rampant conquest of the old men of Boyer at the beginning, Ivanov might have really thought that the gods were helping him.
How can a person who keeps to himself and is honest and responsible suddenly have such great luck, how can he endure the careful thinking that is getting more and more inflated? Thus, in Ivanov's mind, a plan emerged to divide the land with the real Stegiapoye and become a superior person himself.
Moreover, the first step of the plan, the gathering of human resources in Zhemiyang Village went very smoothly, and the miner resources that were about to be exhausted were quickly replenished, and it was not surprising that he could have a steady stream of gold.
But the question is, how can there be no surprises?
The slaughter of a large village with a population of more than 1,000 people not only did not terrify and tremble the nearby nobles, as Ivanov had expected, but drew their thunderous wrath.
It just so happened that the forces under this group of nobles had just been assembled, and the original plan and goal were ignored, and they directly turned around and ran towards Zhemiyang Village.
Well, the troops used by the Divine Revelation Warriors to the back of the palace were wiped out, and this time the soldiers of the boyes did not retreat in the face of the severe cold and snow, and were stationed on the ruins of Zhemiyang Village, and as soon as the weather improved, they entered the forest to chase and intercept them.
If it weren't for the complex underground network and the command of the imperial people, the Apocalyptic Warriors would be in danger by now, and Ivanov was also suddenly shocked to realize what a stupid thing he had done, his own people occupied the mountains and forests with the advantage of the terrain, and the ordinary nobles would have endured it, who let them go in rashly and not necessarily get out alive?
But he actually directly erased a big village that paid taxes and grain on the map, and no one could bear it.
So in addition to being frightened, Ivanov came up with a way to first let the most powerful Imperials contain the attack of the Boyers in the front, and then let the other three people go to the village of Ustok through the tunnel, and cooperate with the Apocalyptic warriors there to take the village, so as to leave a way for himself to retreat.
This plan is simply perfect, division of troops, suspicious soldiers, feint attack, main attack, sneak attack, all kinds of methods are used, although he is only the education level of prenatal education, but Ivanov can't help but feel that he is afraid of being a natural famous general seed.
A set of plans were ordered, Ivanov, who had been frightened by the ferocious offensive for a long time, picked up his inflated mind again, after the victory in this battle, maybe he could really tear the earth and seal the king, and no matter how hard it was to beat the nobles, he could be a nominal boye.
But who would have thought that the people who went to Ustok Village had just left for two days, and the frontal battlefield was in a hurry, and it was true that the Imperial man was violent, but what kind of soldiers did he bring? It's just a little stronger than the bandits, and it's okay to put dark arrows to sneak attack them, and it's not pure death to confront the regular troops of Sturgia?
However, the famous general's seed was arranged in this way, and the imperial people had no choice but to do it, relying on the great depth of the forest to deploy layer by layer, and then being broken through layer by layer, and in the end, even if they personally went to the field to supervise the battle, they couldn't stop the rout.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Let this group of useless things eat and drink for nothing for so long, and they can be beaten so badly! ”
After listening to the cry of the Apocalyptic warriors who fled from the front line, Ivanov's hands trembled with anger, and the gold mine that was so heavily defended that the Poyers took advantage of the night to attack last night, and after paying casualties, it was also taken!
"Everything started because of this gold mine, and so many people were lost, and the gold mine was lost?!" Ivanov almost drew his knife and hacked the man who fled back to the camp, but then he thought that the situation was so unbearable that he could only forcibly hold back his anger and spare his life for other purposes.
Hearing that Ivanov, who had always been cruel and murderous, was miraculously willing to let himself go, the fugitive was naturally grateful, and then crawled out of Ivanov's sight.
Things have come to this point, and Ivanov can only hope that there will be good news on the side of the village of Ustok before the frontal collapse.
The boundaries over there have always been barren, and the population is far less than that of Zhemiyang Village, so there won't be problems over there, right?
However, only one day later, Ivanov finally waited for news from the village of Ustok.
"Dead! All dead! They have Thor! There's Thor to help! Our god of the forest can't beat the god of thunder! ”
I don't know what terrible things had happened, but the man who had escaped from the village of Ustok had gone insane, telling of all the horrific things that had happened that night—what weapons could call thunder, what bows and crossbows sharper than the weapons of the god of hunting, and what indestructible armor like the god of war worn.
I knew that they were going to burn the village, but I didn't know that I thought they were in a war of the gods.
Ivanov let out a breath of turbidity, even though he thought that the situation was difficult and he could spare this person's life, but he actually spread rumors that the god of the forest had been defeated? I'm sorry, I can't keep you.
So he executed this person with his own hands.
But the execution of this person could not solve the problem of gossip breeding madly in the base camp, and for a while, everyone was panicked, and they all felt that this organization that had lasted for a hundred years might not be able to survive for too long, and people with lively minds had begun to think about how to fend for themselves.
Ivanov must have been well aware of all the bad things that were happening in the camp, but he himself was terrified and out of proportion. It should be the case, it is indeed too difficult for a guy who has been in prenatal education to deal with this situation calmly.
Fortunately, after days and nights of sorrow, Tariq actually returned!
