(551) Long talk
Inside the house, a peasant woman knitting a sweater, as soon as she saw William and a group of foreign soldiers enter her house, she shouted at her husband who was the village chief in Solan:
"Are you crazy to let these gringos trample our floors? What are you...... Lure the wolf into the house, these Valstas are all cannibals who don't spit out bones...... Wild wolf! ”
The crowd looked a little embarrassed when they heard this, and William took off his hat, bent slightly towards the peasant woman, and made a gentlemanly salute:
"Dear lady of the village chief, I understand your language,
William Einfurt, a lieutenant general in the Imperial Army of Valstad, swears that my men and I are decent men and will never come to me. ”
"Oaths are like the wind, especially if you are not a local, gringo's oath, it is even more unreliable." The peasant woman still had a bitter face, and she looked very unhappy.
The village chief was afraid that these foreign soldiers would be angry at any time, and it would be inevitable that blood would be spattered on the spot at that time.
He was so anxious that his face was red, and he felt that his wife was simply stupid, so he said, "Smack!" With a bang, he stretched out his hand and slapped her with a big mouth:
"Shut the fuck! You old!
If it weren't for the kindness and kindness of these foreign gentlemen, where would we, the defenseless peasants, still have their lives! Apologize to the adults! ”
"You conscienceless thing! When I meet people, I will nod my head and bow down, and I will only bully me! It's going to be in the nest!
I want a divorce! So saying, the peasant woman covered her face and began to cry, ran into the house, and slammed the door with a bang.
The village chief was about to catch up and scold angrily, but he was held down on the shoulder.
William smiled: "Please don't do that, I understand your wife's reaction, after all, the rebels and cathars burn and plunder, and the people here have long lost trust in the guys in military uniforms." ”
"Long live understanding, my lord, he was just scared to the point of insanity, I will ask my stupid lady to apologize for you, my lord!"
"No need, it's us uninvited guests who have broken into your village and disturbed your life, and it's up to us to apologize."
"Hey, I'm smiling, please sit here."
After a long conversation, William Einfurt learned a lot of useful information,
Two weeks before their arrival, a small clash broke out between the loyal royal army of the Duke of Leclerc and the rebels of the traitorous Marshal Horus.
They fought in the orchards and in the fields, and at first the loyalists had the upper hand, but when a frenzied cultist force joined the battle, the tide of battle was suddenly reversed.
The loyalists were beaten back again and again, and in order to retain their vital forces, they began to shift towards the eastern strategy.
After the fighting, the local villagers were devastated, not only were their crops and orchards destroyed, but their livestock were also looted by the rebels, and many of their sons and daughters were taken away.
The two sons of the village chief were not spared, and were captured by the rebels and used as hard laborers, so the village chief's wife just had the same attitude towards William, and she felt that wearing military uniforms was not a good thing.
Even if the loyalists win, the result will not be much better, and it will always be innocent civilians who are unlucky.
The village chief said, his tone full of helplessness:
"The rebel officers have asked us to swear allegiance to the rule of the regent Diamond Shespar, to recognize him as our only legitimate monarch, and to recognize the Voodoo Church as the only legitimate religious organization in this country.
The big guy swore a poisonous oath very happily, anyway, the original legitimate king Louis I was an out-and-out tyrant, and changing the flag was only a question of who to pay taxes to us peasants in the future.
One tyrant is dead, the other is pouting his fat ass and climbing to the jeweled throne, it doesn't matter, what do I have to do with it!
The royal family of La Falit collapsed with a bang, and a group of greedy cultists took advantage of it to ascend to the throne, whatever they wanted! We don't care, we just have to leave us a way to live!
But it turns out that we think this is too simple, those voodoo cultists are not just seeking power and usurping power, they have begun to suppress other religions in the region.
Kill the priests of the Templars, kill the members of the Druids and Shamanisms,
We didn't speak at that time because our village was not religious.
Then, the Voodoo Church began to buy slaves en masse, and began bloody and tragic human sacrifices, killing the poor who had lost their freedom and sacrificing them to the devils of the other world.
We are afraid, but we do nothing, because we are not slaves.
The King's Army then began to split into loyalists, with the Loyalists seeking Prince Ingmar to restore the Rafalite dynasty and the rebels serving the Regent.
As for us, we will not join either side, anyway, we will wait for the tax to be paid if we win the battle in the future.
Then, to our horror, we find out that the Voodoo cultists are not greedy for money, they want to bring about the extinction of humanity, for those unspeakable monsters to take over the surface, and they want to destroy the world.
We held a meeting in our village to organize a militia to attack the supply lines of the rebels and cathars and help crush their plots, but only if we found a strong backer and needed a weapon provider and leader.
And until then, in despair, we discovered,
The slave rebels have been beaten to the brink by the cathars, and the leader of the rebels, Andy Whitefield, is nowhere to be found.
The Duke of Leclerc was also defeated by the rebels.
Because of our indifference, there is no one left to speak for us about the indulgence of voodoo atrocities! ”
After half an hour of talking, William and his party left the farmhouse, leaving some shovels and other tools for the village chief, so that they could plant the last hardy crops before winter.
"Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off and march towards the east." William said.
Major Karl was a little puzzled: "Did you leave so soon?" ”
"These villagers can't help us, they are already unable to protect themselves, and according to the information provided by the village chief, the main force of the Duke of Leclerc has withdrawn to the east.
We've got to rush to help. ”
Alexandra said, "The village chief lied to you, and they were not the only ones in the house, but I saw a girl on the second floor looking downstairs with blue eyes staring straight at you. ”
"Didn't people say that the two sons were taken captive, and maybe there is only one daughter left, but you have to beware of outsiders."
Carl Vinson burst out laughing; "Big star, that girl must have taken a fancy to you, your kid's handsome face is really good, you can attract women's attention wherever you go."
Alexandra added, "Well, the peasant woman who ignored you at first, the village chief's wife, looked at your back with reluctance as we left, and licked her tongue. ”
Carl thumped his chest with laughter: "Haha, it's really amazing, big and small!" ”
Philip, the staff officer on the side, couldn't help laughing:
"Don't underestimate the madness of a middle-aged woman!
The woman's love that night was not a tame potted plant, but a wildflower that grew wildly! ”
