The soldiers led by Ron Covind are about thirty in total, which is considered a relatively elite group, which can be seen from the armor and weapons on their bodies, but this elite is relative to the villagers, if they are placed in Gulnia, I believe that even the bandits of Ernest at the beginning can have a fight with these 'regular army'.

Even, this is a slight overestimation of them, it's not that Xavier wants to make fun of them, but between them, there is really nothing to praise -

Their formation was very scattered, there was no cooperation between the players, according to the requirements of the Minoan military, this was definitely unqualified, and when confronting the villagers, they were also absent-minded, feeling like they were eating and waiting for death.

At the same time, their armor is not actually armor, it is just a group of cowhides, and it may have defensive power against swords, but for Xavier, who can use the 'Mark of Alder', fireball technique, etc., this kind of defense can no longer be regarded as defense, and it is estimated that even the steel sword in his hand can easily cut them down.

Therefore, at this moment, he, together with Viscount Wallace, who was stronger than him, obviously did not fear those soldiers, they chose to stand first, watching the villagers and soldiers, who were of the same race, start to fight each other, until they needed to make a move, they would not make a move.

In his eyes, the soldiers with equipment were not far from the villagers, although what Xavier said just now was not wrong, they were indeed not elite, but it should be remembered that they were only dealing with villagers with farm tools and sticks.

Therefore, the balance of victory at this moment is undoubtedly more inclined to the side of the soldiers, the so-called advantage of the villagers is only a large number of people, about a hundred or nearly two hundred or so strong men, not more than 30 soldiers can be easily overwhelmed, but it only needs a little more strength.

The villagers still have no conditions for victory, which is why at this stage they want to be reasonable, they are afraid of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, they are afraid that their comrades will be stabbed by them, they are afraid that there will be casualties.

And the soldiers on the other side actually think the same way, they are indeed bullying the people, but they are also afraid that the villagers will rush over directly, surround them, and even let them be injured because of this, even if they have an advantage, after all, this advantage is not particularly big, they don't want to be a part of the sacrifice.

What's more, the current formation of the villagers is something they have never seen before, and they still don't dare to believe it, and the people who have always been submissive and don't dare to resist them actually dare to gather in groups and form a queue to fight them, which makes them feel quite strange and vigilant.

They really wanted to come over and force the villagers to mine, but the fear of death in their hearts made them choose to do it slowly, so there was no need to be so anxious, right?

So in the end, the various concerns of both sides prevented their conflict from escalating to a serious level, and now it was only a verbal struggle, and the villagers shouted in the direction of the soldiers, scolding them

"The lord's lackey!"

And the soldiers also retorted with one sentence

"You pariahs!"

This sounds a little confusing, but in fact, its essence is also confusing, scolding this thing, originally for their own coolness, if it can hit the other side, it would be better, the specific content of the speech, it may not be meaningful.

As for why, they don't try to solve the problem in words, because they know that their contradictions are inherently insoluble, the villagers don't want to serve, and the soldiers have the responsibility to force them to serve, and the two have an antagonistic relationship, and the reason why there is no conflict now is only based on the above considerations.

If it weren't for those concerns, they would have stepped forward and beaten the other side immediately.

With his eyes fixed, Xavier saw that the 'fake war' between the two sides had been going on for a long time, just like in the early days of World War II.

France and Britain, located on the Western Front, watched the poor little being beaten by the Soviet Union, but they watched silently.

And the same is true now, where the mouth cannon has become an effective means of duel, just as it was then, and there is no real action.

Villagers and soldiers can be said to be in a state of declared war, but there will be no fighting.

This is called a fake war.

And all this will change until that moment comes.

That's the arrival of reinforcements.

About twenty soldiers, dressed in similar equipment, came to the scene from a distance.

You don't have to think about it to know what their position is.

Long before the conflict, one of the soldiers sent someone to call for reinforcements.

The moment the reinforcements arrived, the moment the battle began, and there were sixty soldiers, although much less than the total number of the villagers, but for them, one against ten might be very difficult, but what about one against three?

Therefore, the attitude of the soldiers instantly changed from avoiding conflict to arrogance.

They reverted back to their old attitude, and became the soldiers who oppressed the people and the villagers.

It is worth mentioning that although they are also Vasiliki, none of them are from the village of Imu, but from further afield.

Therefore, they did not have much sympathy for the suppression of the Diao people in Ram Township, and naturally they were able to be ruthless and pull out their steel swords.

Seeing this scene, the villagers of Im Village undoubtedly flinched a little, only the young man who stayed in front, the man who had spoken to Xavier, the aspiring young man, Mary's brother, Darcy Bennet, still charged forward, with the smell of a political commissar, and shouted to everyone

"Brothers, sisters, know that this is our only chance.

"If we give up at this moment, we will never be the real masters!"

"We must rise up and wait for the glory to come, and become the masters of destiny!"

"Then a new kingdom will be established!"

And with his words, there is a singing voice, which is the voice of a child.

"Rise up, Vasilyaki's people!"

"A glorious day awaits us"

This is a song that used to circulate in the village, and Viscount Wallace at the time said that it was a nursery rhyme, but at this moment, it magically awakened the minds of the villagers.

They remembered what had happened before.

It was a constant collection of taxes, a hard work on the farm that could barely support the family's parents, and a continuous stream of forced labor

They don't understand, why, can a lord sit at home and enjoy life without doing anything?

Nor did they understand why, the Minoans, could arbitrarily levy taxes on Vasilyaki in order to satisfy their conquest, and at no cost.

All kinds of incomprehension make them feel angry.

In the past, they didn't know so much, but after publicity, they learned about the history and the country they used to be.

Now they know that this shouldn't be their life.

Therefore, at this moment, even if they have the idea of retreating, they finally choose to take risks, risk death, against powerful soldiers.

They could no longer endure such tyranny, and chose to suppress their cowardice and become brave warriors.

As for their young leader, Darcy Bennet will not let this opportunity go to waste, and continues to shout their slogans, so that everyone's thoughts will be concentrated at this time.

There are many enemies, but now, it is necessary to defeat these soldiers who have become lackeys!

They raised what was not a weapon, and let out a frantic cry.

Even if the enemy is stronger than us, why should we be afraid of it when we have strong minds?

As long as we stay the course, victory will be ours.

"You see the tyrant is right in front of us,"

"Blood-stained flags raised!"

Their singing continues today.

On the other side, the soldiers with increased troops were undoubtedly a little dumbfounded.

Don't they have reinforcements? Why are they the weaker side?

The momentum of those villagers is something they have never felt before after they have oppressed others for many years.

Moreover, they also have a powerful singing voice, which they have never heard before.

However, they don't have any sense of identity with the lyrics in it.

Although they are also the existence of mermaids, if you compare, they are like the Han Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, they still have to kowtow when they see the real Eight Banners, claiming to be glorious minions, but in the eyes of others, they are noble and powerful people who have the right to oppress the people.

And the lord and his direct soldiers are like that.

Therefore, they embraced this semi-colonial system more than the Minoans, because that was their interests, their foundations.

In the face of those who rebelled against the foundation, although they were afraid of death, they would also ruthlessly and without any struggle, pull out their butcher's knives.

They will kill them, even their own people.

Therefore, in the next moment, I saw the official start of the battle.

The soldiers in leather armor began to advance step by step, forcing the villagers to retreat again and again.

Among the villagers, although there were warriors who tried to attack, they were all forced back by the steel sword attack.

They were forced to retreat all the time.

There was no doubt that they did have enlightenment and said that they would resist, but when they saw the shining silver light, the fear in their hearts still made them can't help but retreat.

This is human nature, but it also made the soldiers on the opposite side laugh mockingly, clearly saying that they want to resist, why can't they see it at all?

With so many of their soldiers, how could more than a hundred ordinary villagers easily resist it?

Faced with this situation, Darcy Bennet, who was at the forefront of the villagers, let out a sound of gnashing his teeth, and his head quickly turned, trying to find another way.

But he knew that there was no other way, and if they really wanted to do what they were fighting for, they had to be prepared to shed blood, to be prepared to be killed, to be sacrificed.

This is the process of struggle, and as the great man said, building a new kingdom must require a small amount of sacrifice.

But in fact, no one wants to be a victim like that, they want to witness a better future, but they don't want to be hurt by it.

In this regard, they need a leader to be the first victim, and the people behind can evoke blood.

Darcy Bennet, on the other hand, is ready for this.

At his command, the villagers, who had been retreating, stopped their steps.

The village, which had just been ravaged by ghouls, was once again in the midst of a war, but a war between people.

~~~~~~

At the moment when the dispute broke out, Xavier and Viscount Wallace, who had been silently observing not far away, glanced at each other.

The look in his eyes said, "You, are you going to help?"

If they did help, it would be absolutely fine to beat sixty people, even though there were only two of them.

That's probably a few Ard's Seals and 60 experience points.

In this magical era, any 100 enemies, or even 10,000 enemies, are theoretically attainable existences.

But the question is whether they should help.

As Bentley Bannet said to Xavier, the villagers have long hated this system.

They want to rebel, rebel against these nobles, rebel against these lords, and even the OSS behind them, the Minoan Empire.

And this kind of behavior, it is difficult to say that they are incorrect, and there is nothing wrong with fighting for their rights and interests from ancient times to the present.

The mistake is that they are not strong enough.

Therefore, Xavier and Lloyd are sympathetic to the senses, but in reality, it seems that their identity is the existence that should be opposed.

Because they were all Minoans, the people of the empire who colonized Vasilyaki.

Not to mention, this Lloyd Wallace is also a viscount, he is himself the ruling class, and it is undoubtedly a bit ironic that they let them help the oppressed people.

This is like asking a few British nobles to help the people of India to rebel, which is undoubtedly great from the perspective of the 21st century, but now, and in the past, it seems that this is simply treason.

This is also why, Xavier nowadays, is a little struggling.

If he really helped, he would definitely be regarded as treason, right?

However, sensually, the education of his previous life still made him want to help these weak people, and he was not used to seeing the situation of the ruling class oppressing the common people, even if he might become the former in the future.

This is a matter of three views, and Xavier finally made a choice.

He didn't want to see villagers being killed by oppressors in front of his eyes.

Even though it meant serious consequences, he chose to act like this.

Blame it on his education in his previous life, blame it on his three views.

Maybe he shouldn't have been so kind at all.

As for Viscount Wallace, after hearing this decision, he showed a smile that did not quite look like a smile.

He didn't have any struggle, and said directly to Xavier

"Then let's go. ”

Two figures, in the eyes of many Vasilyki, fell to the ground of the village of Imu.
