Chapter 9: Where Have All the People Gone?
The wireless walkie-talkie was brought by Li Yu when he slayed the dragon, a total of seven, and this time Tom and their team were equipped with two for the mission, so that even if the soldiers were divided into two roads, they could always keep in touch.
No sooner had Tom warned the nine people left behind outside the village than they were attacked.
The attack came silently, and in the blink of an eye, several cold arrows flew out of the forest!
Fortunately, the Black Dog Guard received an early warning in advance, and coupled with the dwarf armor on his body, only one of the nine guards with a little back was shot in the calf, and the remaining eight were all safe and sound, and then they raised the dragon scale shield in their hands.
Most of the lizardmen are fierce and easy to get up, and when they are attacked, many of them immediately scream and rush into the woods to fight the attackers.
Fortunately, the man with the walkie-talkie had not forgotten his duty, and before the charge, he made a report to Tom, almost causing Tom to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage, and immediately ordered them to stop the pursuit.
However, not long after the Black Dog Guard was formed, it was far less disciplined than the elite legions of the major families in the Western Realm, and Tom, the squad leader, was not a lizardman, so there was no problem with training in normal times, but thinking that something really happened like this, and he was not around, his words were not so good.
Listening to his order, some people stopped, but some rushed faster. And the slower runner saw that the faster runner sped up the pace that had already slowed down.
Fortunately, Li Yu soon took over the wireless walkie-talkie from Tom's hand.
The lizards could not listen to Tom, but they had always respected Li Yu, the prophet, and obeyed his words, and finally stopped.
At this time, the second wave of attacks came, but the target was no longer the nine warriors of the Black Dog Guard, but the horses they tethered to the side.
With a series of wails, the horses fell to the ground one after another.
Including Li Yu and the horses ridden by the guards who came to report the news before, all died in this wave of attacks.
Li Yu also got the news through the wireless walkie-talkie at the first time.
The attackers were clearly thinking that the purpose of shooting the horses was to cut them off from the outside world, to prevent them from returning to the Muslim Order or the Arias family to bring rescue troops, which meant that the ambush was premeditated.
Li Yu didn't believe that those farmers and peasant women in an ordinary village could have such careful thinking, so this time I am afraid that outsiders will intervene.
Li Yu gave an order to nine people outside the village on the walkie-talkie to let them join in the village.
After that, Li Yu walked in front of the old man who was captured, and seeing that the matter was revealed, the latter no longer pretended to be hospitable at this time, and directly opened his mouth and scolded angrily.
"Monster! You monsters who believe in other gods! You are more greedy than hyenas, more vicious than vipers! You are the pests of the wheat field! I curse you, that you will not die well! ”
As a perennial surfing the Internet, Li Yu, a modern person who mixes in major forums, has no feeling at all about this level of abuse, and casually opens a hot topic on Weibo and Tieba, and the following scolding is much more fierce than this.
Li Yu patiently waited for him to scold almost before he spoke, "What happened here, why did you attack us?" ”
But the old man didn't answer him, but he was still cursing there, and it could be seen that he really hated the Shuangxiu Sect very much, and he didn't seem to care much about being killed by Li Yu and the others.
Tom was a little annoyed when he was scolded, and he would have already started to teach the other party a lesson when he was a mercenary, but now without Li Yu's order, he could only let his subordinates hold down the old man, and he came to the door, waiting to pick up the nine people outside the village.
"Where is the owner of that skirt now?" Li Yu changed the question.
And this time the old man became even more irritable, and he didn't know where he burst out of power, and he almost broke free from the hands of the two guards, and his mouth was still shouting, "You are all going to die today, you are all going to die!" Give Liz her life! Damn heretics! ”
"Who is Liz, your granddaughter, and how did she die?" Li Yu continued to ask.
"Liz is not dead, she is just playing outside and has not come back yet, yes, that's it, old woman, make dinner for Liz."
I don't know if it's because I've been stimulated too much in the past few days, but the old man looks a little crazy now.
Li Yu estimated that it was difficult to ask anything from his mouth, and some guards proposed to go to the hostess of the first household to ask, but Li Yu also refused.
Now that he has realized that today's episode is likely to be a trap set by someone deliberately against the Shuangxiu Sect, Li Yu doesn't want to drag others into the water anymore, besides, the woman still has a newborn child.
Tom, who was standing outside the door, had already seen his colleagues who had withdrawn from the entrance of the village into the village.
He strode forward, holding the sword at his waist, and looked around warily.
However, there was no movement in the vicinity.
But this in itself is a bit unusual, because a village has a lot of livestock besides people, and it is impossible to be so quiet in normal times.
Where have all the people in this village gone?
Soon Tom was answered, and as the guards from outside entered the house, many villagers came out of the village.
Only a few of them had some inferior swords and bows in their hands, and most of them were just carrying farm tools such as pitchforks and hoes, and they didn't have any armor on them, but they surrounded the place on all sides.
Tom was amused by the peasants, and they also let in the guards who were left behind outside the village, and it was hard to think of catching them all.
Tom said to Li Yu, "Prophet Merlin, there are only some peasants on the other side, let me bring someone to teach them a lesson, as long as you kill a few, the rest will definitely be scattered." ”
Li Yu said, "If you do this, those who instigate them to attack us will definitely be happy." ”
Tom was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
"We are here to preach, not to fight, even if you win, after this news spreads, what will other villages think of the people we sent in the future?" Li Yu said.
"Then all of them will be slaughtered?" Tom lowered his voice.
“…………”
"Let's try to settle this matter peacefully."
"But looking at the other side, it doesn't look like it's going to settle peacefully with us." Tom was the first to notice the villagers, and he had good eyesight and could see the angry expressions on their faces.
"Let's talk about it first, at least find out why they're attacking us." Li Yu said.
