There were only 8 bandits, and Weiss didn't even need 1 minute to knock them all to the ground. The absolute difference in strength made them unable to get up again after being kicked by Weiss. And in fact, it is indeed impossible for these guys whose chests and faces have been completely sunken into them to get up again.

Counting these 8, Weiss has killed three digits of bandits in the past three days! At first glance, it seems that he has done a lot of sinisterity, but in fact, he has indirectly rescued more refugees, so Weiss said that he has no pressure. And Ling Lan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Weis's actions, after all, before going out, her master Li Tongchen specially told her that if she encountered a wicked person, she must not be soft, and those who can be killed must not be left alive, and there should be such a ruthlessness in chivalrous deeds!

Well! Such a "tiger" master is really a "big husband"!?

After putting down a few muck bandits, Weiss skillfully began to "touch the corpses", and the dry food for the new ones was not much, but it was enough for them to eat for 1 or 2 more days. At this time, Weiss noticed that the refugee family was all looking at him with a frightened expression, so he picked up the standard saber of the scar-faced man and handed it to the middle-aged uncle with the knife and sheath.

"Take it! ”

"You...... You ......"

"Don't worry, we don't mean anything. ”

Taking the knife handed by Weiss, the middle-aged uncle looked a little overwhelmed, and it was not until his wife and children pulled the corner of his clothes that he came back to his senses, and his mouth was open and wanted to say something to Weiss, but he didn't say a word for a long time. Weiss looked at his mouth and said with a smile.

"Thank you, it's just a gesture. ”

After doing a "good deed", Weiss and Ling Lan turned around in a dashing manner, preparing to leave a back with a "deep hidden merit and fame", and then continued on their way. But they didn't go far before they found that the family of four was still following them, as if seeking protection.

"Wright, they seem to be following us all along?"

"It's not like, it's really following us, probably because they think it's safer to go with us. ”

"Shall we help them, then?"

"No, just let them follow along. If you help too much, it's easy to get into trouble. ”

"Oh!"

Probably having heard this allusion, Ling Lan nodded, and like Weiss, he did not deliberately show that he wanted to help the family, but only slightly reduced the speed of progress, so that the family could follow them not far away. The two of them waited until noon the next day, when the heat began to get hot, they found a secluded grove to rest, ate a little dry food, and then closed their eyes with their weapons and rested for a while.

I don't know how long they slept, the two vaguely heard footsteps approaching, and the nerves that had not relaxed made the two subconsciously point the weapons in their hands in the direction where the sound came, but then both of them were stunned.

"Uh...... Girl, who are you?"

What appeared in front of Weiss and Ling Lan was a freckled girl she had never seen before, dressed as a standard "village girl", and holding a small basket full of food in her hand. Seeing that Weiss and Ling Lan suddenly faced each other with swords, they were immediately frightened and fled, which made Weiss and Ling Lan a little confused.

"What's going on!?" x2

The two were puzzled, and after a while, the village girl who had just run away led an old man back. The old man, who was about 60 years old, first took off his hat and bowed to the two of them, and then said in a respectful tone.

"Hello, two well-meaning powerhouses. ”

"Hello old man, who are you?" asked Weiss, confused.

"Contemptible Quinn, is the representative elected by everyone. Forgive me for being presumptuous, can you please ask you two to protect us for a ride? Here is some money and food that we have all raised, and I hope you will not dislike it, and we will never forget our great kindness. ”

After the other party finished speaking, he and the village girl bowed to Weiss and Ling Lan again, making both of them a little uncomfortable. Weiss's gaze bypassed the old man, and found that the figures outside the forest were longing, not to mention the appearance of one hundred and eighty when they gathered, they should have gathered when they were resting.

With so many people popping up suddenly, Weiss couldn't help but have a big head. If it was just that family of four, then he and Ling Lan would still have some way to protect them, but if it increased so much at once, even if they were both masters of the "military level", I am afraid it would be very stressful.

A large number of people means a "big target", which is difficult to hide and easy to expose. Weiss really wanted to tell these people that if they were willing to "break it into pieces", they might have a better chance of survival, but these refugees affected by the "herd effect" were probably trapped by the false "sense of security" brought by the group, and it was impossible to listen to his advice.

Scratching his head, Wisefa felt that this matter had suddenly become a little tricky! reason told him that he should decisively leave these "oil bottles" behind, and that it would be enough to take the "capable" spearman girl in every sense, but the surname of the person who had never abandoned him stopped him from doing so. After thinking about it for a long time, Weiss was trapped by this "unsolvable" problem.

If you want to escape to Xiyanzhou, you must cross the Orlando River, which divides the two continents. When the Werther Empire was still "alive", in order to prevent the Aaronic Empire from expanding southward, the emperor spent a huge amount of money to build a "defensive belt", not only built a wall along the river that stretched for thousands of miles, but also built fortresses in all areas suitable for crossing the river. After the collapse of the empire, these walls and fortresses were now owned by three principalities, and the White Deer was one of them.

If there were only two people, Weiss and Ling Lan, it would not be impossible to find a way to smuggle in the White Deer Principality. But with the addition of these refugees, who were just ordinary people, there was no chance of success unless the two of them could overturn the entire defenders of the fortress and swagger across the ferry, so Weiss felt that it was better to say something explicitly.

"Old man, I'm afraid my companion and I won't be able to agree to this favor, because the words of the two of us alone can't protect so many of you. Ordinary bandits are fine, but if we encounter those rebels, it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves, so please forgive me for not being able to promise what is impossible. ”

"You're honest, young man!" said ...... that," Morgan nodded, a slightly bitter smile, and then glanced back at the expectant gazes behind him, and suddenly said in a voice that only he and Weiss could hear.

“...... But I still need your 'protection', even if it's just for pretense. ”

"What do you mean!?" Both Weiss and Ling Lan were a little confused by Morgan's words, Weiss seemed to vaguely understand something, but Ling Lan didn't understand the other party's intentions at all. If this were in Donglinzhou or other developed countries, there would indeed be rich children who hired some unpopular "pseudo-masters" to fill the show, but the old man named Morgan in front of him was obviously not the rich second generation of those idle eggs.

Seeing that the two young men were a little puzzled, Morgan explained the reason for this.

"Young people, you must know that if people want to move forward, in addition to surviving, they also need to have the courage to support this **. More than 300 people in our village have fled to survive until now, and the rest are not even half of them. I still have the strength to hurry, but the courage to go on is almost empty. ”

"Is there really no other way?

"It's useless, the capital city in the south is the main target of the rebels, and there is no way to get over there. Weiss explained for Ling Lan.

"Some people want to find a ravine to hide in and wait for the war to end before coming out, but how can this Bailu Principality still have a place to hide? If we don't run for our lives, even if the bandits and rebels don't kill us and can't grow food, we won't be able to survive this winter! I'm old, and I'm not afraid of death when I've lived enough, but I can't let these children go into the ground with my old bones, right?"

"But even if you get to the border, it won't help if you can't cross the river. ”

As the boundary river that divides the continent, the Orlando River is known as the world's three major giant rivers along with the "Yangtze River" in Donglinzhou and the "Cold River" in Beishuangzhou, and the narrowest part of the river is nearly 17 kilometers wide, and some sections are even more than 200 kilometers. With such a wide river, crossing it is no easy task!

It is not yet known which of the sons of the White Deer Principality's border defenders fell to, and Weiss feels that it is not impossible for the defenders to stand on their own feet. Even if these refugees managed to reach the border and fall to the fortress, they were afraid that they would be captured by the defenders, and they would either be stuffed into refugee camps or sent to work as coolies.

"I went to the boat to the bridge head naturally straight, I ......"

Halfway through Quinn's words, there was a chaotic scream and horse chirping from outside the woods. Morgan knew that they didn't have horses at all, and that the only kind of people who could still have horses now were the rebels!
