Chapter 32: The Great Speech

Jordi looked in the direction where the firelight came from, and his face changed slightly, "It's not good, it's a beacon for help, and the direction should be in the Trinidad Knight's fief." ”

"It must be those damn lizardmen, they finally couldn't hold back and attacked." "But it's still a month before the crop is harvested, so why are they here so early this time?" ”

"Whatever the reason, the Knight of Trinidad and the people of his realm need us." Miss Rabbit has a serious gaze.

The Knight of the Purple Sparrow and his servant glanced at each other, and the latter nodded, "What you said is that I will bring twenty militiamen to support the Knight Trinida." ”

With that, Karl began to gather people in the village and distribute weapons and equipment.

However, because it was already dark, many of them fell asleep, and Hu ran around from the knights, and it took a while to gather the team.

As soon as they heard that they were going to fight the lizardmen that had emerged from the swamp, many of the militiamen had a look of fear on their faces.

Although the robbers' weapons and equipment were as rudimentary as theirs, they were much better than their farmer who had only received a little military training for a living.

Normally, it takes three or four militiamen to deal with a lizardman warrior, and the most important thing is that those lizardmen are not robbing their villages now, and they are not captive their wives and daughters, so these militiamen's enthusiasm to fight will naturally not increase.

The girl felt that at this time, her lord should stand up and say something.

She thought for a moment, and the person held the torch and walked towards the militia that was about to go out.

The knight's expression changed slightly, although he understood that Yin Leia was just trying to boost morale, but he also knew that the new head of the Arias family was really a bit mediocre in this regard.

Don't add the morale in the end, the big guy will be hit hard again, then he really doesn't know how to lead this team.

Thinking so, Karl turned his attention to the Purple Finch Knight for help, but the latter quickly looked away, just as if he didn't see it.

The girl had already walked up to the militiamen, and she looked at the panicked faces, and after a moment stretched out a palm.

"I assure you in the honor of House Arias that if you can drive away the lizardmen, each of them will receive another five pounds of pork sausages, five loaves of bread, five cups of mead, and five silver cohens, and I will personally send them to you when you return in triumph."

Miss Rabbit was nervous to death, and her voice trembled a little when she spoke, she didn't have Li Yu's outstanding eloquence, nor was she like her father Ruth, who could take the lead and inspire the soldiers under his command.

After thinking about it, in the end, I can only use myself to help others, and use the power of money to cheer up these militias who are going to go to the battlefield.

After she finished speaking, the crowd was silent for a long time, and then there was a burst of cheers, even more enthusiastic than during the day, and some people beat the wooden shields in their hands with spears.

The knight who led the team also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It actually worked! Although it is not the same as Lord Ruth's style of doing things, Miss Yin Leiya's simple and crude way of motivating may be more appealing to these civilians, and if there is any drawback, it is a little expensive.

Not to mention meat, bread and wine, just five silver cohen per person, it is ten gold coins, and the Arias family has not had such a trenched head in a long time.

What he didn't know was that Miss Rabbit on the other side was also in pain at this moment.

As soon as she said the words, she regretted it a little. Because this time it was really a big bloodletting, and with so much money at once, the girl's heart was about to break, but there was no way, this was her first speech, and it would be too embarrassing to mess up in front of so many people.

And Yin Leia was really worried about the safety of the Trinidad Knight and others, so in the end, she gritted her teeth and smashed the money.

After that, the high morale of the militia team also surprised Miss Rabbit, faintly as if it had opened the door to a new world, but that's for later.

Carl saw that the team's enthusiasm for battle had been mobilized, so he also struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly led people on the road.

However, after they had been away for some time, another man covered in blood stumbled into the village.

The person who came claimed to be the servant of the Trinidad Knight, said that the number of lizardmen who ran out of the swamp to attack and loot this time exceeded sixty, and unlike in the past, they fought separately and ran away as soon as they rushed through the frenzy, this time they seemed to have an organization, and their advance and retreat were quite well-founded.

Seeing that they were defeated, the Trinidad knights gathered all the warriors and villagers in a small castle in the center of the village, lit a beacon fire, and sent people out to ask for help.

And his identity was soon confirmed.

Hearing this, the Purple Sparrow Knight's face suddenly became very ugly, there were twenty-two warriors on Trinidad's side, and nearly forty militiamen, the number was about the same as those lizardmen, but the combat effectiveness was far behind.

Even if Carl and the militia he brought with him were still not very good-looking, and Trinidad and his people had a castle to rely on, they were really invincible and could still cower behind the stone wall, but Carl and the others had to face those lizardmen.

If it's a regular army, as long as they can withstand the first wave of onslaught, they can form a front and rear attack with Trinidad's centaurs against those damn lizardmen.

However, the militia that Carl brought with him did not have this kind of ability, and their morale was okay now, but as long as the lizardmen attacked them and killed three or four more people, the whole team would soon collapse and become lambs to the slaughter.

The Purple Sparrow Knight immediately called people and wanted them to catch up with Carl and the others who had gone to support.

However, it had been a while since the knight had been gone, and Jordi didn't know if he could catch up.

Miss Rabbit immediately decided, "We have to do something more, I promised those people that when they come back, I will personally hand out food and silver coins to them!" ”

"Mistress Jordi has sent someone to call back the team." Alfred replied.

"But there's a chance you won't be able to catch up, right?" The girl asked rhetorically.

"There is such a possibility, and there is no way to do it." The old knight's voice sounded a little cold, "Lord Jordi's side doesn't seem to have any extra manpower. ”

"There is a way. There is no one in Jordi, but we do, and thanks to your persistence, Alfred, I came out with a lot of guards this time. "It's not just Carl and the militia he brought with him, but the Trinidad knights and his men need to be supported as well, and we'll have to find a way to repel the lizardmen who come to attack." ”

"Miss Yin Leia, with all due respect, I and these guards I brought are only for your safety, and other things have nothing to do with us."

"How can it be irrelevant?" The girl's mind was clearer than ever at this moment, "Even if you don't care about the casualties of those civilians, Jordi's fief and Trinidad's fief are next to each other, if those lizardmen rob Trinidad and defeat Yordi's people, they will definitely rush here to continue killing and looting."

"We're going to be right up to those guys, and we're going to lose all the help, so there's no one to fight with us anymore."
