Chapter 31: The War That Didn't Begin

In the midst of the chaotic sound, Xavier's figure slowly landed on the blood-colored earth.

The villagers who saw him quickly recognized that it was the apprentice of the previous demon hunter, a Minoan, although they now did not know whether he was friend or foe, but for the sake of the villagers he had helped, they also chose to retreat and did not make any intentions.

On the contrary, the soldiers in the vicinity, seeing this scene, thought that Xavier had come to help the villagers, and his intention was indeed so, so they planned to attack him, but when they saw Xavier's face, the action was stopped.

"Huh?" Xavier, who saw the scene in front of him, looked around with some puzzlement, and found that Viscount Wallace in the distance had also received the same treatment.

The villagers looked at Xavier with a little kindness, but a little wary, while the soldiers were at a loss, holding their steel swords at Xavier, but they had no intention of attacking.

This left Xavier a little puzzled.

And where the two of them did not intervene, the battle was still going on, and the bloody villagers were fighting with the soldiers continuously.

From time to time, the sound of screams and the rhythm of bleeding and cutting sounded in Xavier's ears one after another.

In other words, it was he and the viscount who interfered with the course of the battle.

Without them, the fighting should have continued.

But why, when the soldiers saw him, did they not dare to attack? Could it be because he had the spirit of a king, and when others saw him, they bowed down? This is obviously impossible.

The only explanation is that it was because he was a Minoan.

In Vasiliki, killing the Minoans was the same as killing the Britons in India before, and Xavier could roughly guess the punishment he would have to receive.

This is also the reason why the soldiers did not dare to attack Xavier.

After learning of this fact, Xavier expressed his helplessness, and dared to think about how to fight for a long time, but in the end, he found that it seemed that there was no need to fight at all, and he also understood why the viscount would agree without any struggle when he said to help.

Because he knows that there is no such thing as a sword-to-soldier confrontation.

Thinking of this, he tilted his steel sword horizontally and commanded the soldiers in a decisive tone

β€œdΓ©posez votre ar!”

It was the Vasilyki language he had learned from the viscount, which roughly meant laying down his arms.

And the soldiers who heard this, you looked at me, shook your head at the lord, and threw your eyes at the villagers while saying something Xavier did not understand.

Their intentions, in fact, are very obvious, that is, they want to pursue these traitors, hoping that Xavier, as a Minoan, will not stop them, and Xavier can guess from their body movements, although he can't understand what they are saying.

His eyes were a little confused for a while, but he didn't let this emotion interfere with his judgment, he felt that he had to let the viscount deal with all this, and what he should do now was to stop the current battle.

Immediately, I saw him run to the other side and forcibly interrupt the battle between the two sides with the 'Seal of Alder', and the viscount also understood what he meant, and used the same trick, so the battle in Yimu Village ended in an instant.

It would be amazing if an outsider recorded this scene, the dispute between the Vasilyki people had to be mediated by two outsiders, but in this special environment, everything actually seemed very normal.

The soldiers did not dare to harm the Minoans, Xavier already knew this.

As for the villagers, most of them were grateful for Viscount Wallace's help last time, and naturally they didn't take action, thinking that he was here to mediate, but their leader, Darcy Bennet, frowned a little inconspicuously, but he didn't show it, and followed the actions of the villagers and let Viscount Wallace speak.

As an experienced witcher, he was well aware of the dispute between them, and did not take the time to engage in so-called mediation.

After all, there have been three dead people among the villagers, and they will definitely think that they are the wronged party and have been treated unfairly, and naturally they will want to take revenge and take revenge on the evil soldiers who brought them dead and wounded, and if it weren't for the sake of the viscount, they might even attack the viscount.

As for the soldiers, there is no death, but like the villagers, they are in a state of killing red eyes, and there are also a few injured among them, and they want them to put aside their prejudices and not hate each other, which is simply something that Jesus could not solve in his second life.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Viscount Wallace did not intend to unravel their contradictions, there was no misunderstanding between them at all, but there was a conflict of values, which was caused by the contradictions between classes and classes, which reached their peak, and could not be mediated by one person.

What he can do is to use his status as a viscount to forcibly ask the soldiers to return to the team, and it should be noted that Viscount Wallace, as the viscount of Minos, should have the same status as the lord of Emu Township, Ron Covent, according to the hierarchy.

But this does not mean that he can control Ron's soldiers at will, those soldiers are under Ron's direct management, and the only soldiers who can control them are Minos's garrison in Vasiliki, even the counts of the capital, who cannot command them at will.

However, what was just said was only on the surface, in fact, the soldiers were obviously unwilling to offend the Viscount Minos, and Viscount Wallace said that he would communicate with Earl Ron, so the soldiers quickly said that everything was fine, and they were willing to return to the county.

Thus, a dispute ended, and the soldiers left the village of Imu under the complicated eyes of the villagers, but it was only a short end, and Xavier knew that if the viscount was not here, the dispute would continue.

What they want to know more is why the villagers of Yimu Village suddenly have the courage to rebel? The Vasiliki people have been colonized for so long, and it is impossible for them to awaken their national minds in the vicinity, and there must be someone behind them.

Xavier and Viscount Wallace set their sights on Darcy Bennet, the temporary leader of the villagers.

He felt the gaze of the two, a little uncomfortable, and seemed a little dissatisfied, but he quickly took them back and commanded a few villagers next to him

"Collect the corpses of a few warriors. ”

He was referring to the three villagers who died fighting for the village of Imu.

Then, when he saw what had happened, he asked Xavier and Viscount Wallace to follow him into a house.

That's actually the Bennet family, where Benley Bennet, Darcy's father, once feasted them.

Now, the two of them were also sitting in their original seats, Darcy sat opposite Xavier and the viscount, and poured them two cups of black tea each, Xavier glanced at the viscount, only to see that the demon hunter didn't mind, and directly took a sip.

He seemed to be completely unafraid, there was something greasy in it, but Xavier was a little skeptical, so he took a sip and spit it back into the teacup.

As for Darcy, it was not known whether he had seen this scene or not, he himself had not drunk the black tea at all, and waited for them to finish the tea before he spoke, and said in a strange tone

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your help, we might have suffered many more deaths and injuries. ”

He spoke Minoan and acted respectfully, but only Viscount Wallace looked at Xavier and asked him to answer.

And Xavier, I don't know if he understood the meaning of the master, he used his own thoughts, and smiled not very smilingly, "No thanks, in fact, we didn't do anything at all." ”

"No, your existence is already the greatest help, it is you who saved us, I really want to thank you. Darcy gradually put away his previous emotions, as if he were sighing for the dead villagers.

"That's something to be thankful for, Mr. Darcy. But I have a question, do you really think so? don't you really think we're a stumbling block in your way?" Xavier suddenly became serious, and looked at Darcy with a sharp look.

Darcy, who is a little younger than him and has a little less social experience, is a little frightened under this look, which can't be blamed on him, he is a man who is difficult to control his expression, but at this moment he also forcibly responded

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xavier, I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"If you're telling a joke, I don't think it's funny. ”
