305 Warrior Commander of the Kingdom
"Boom ......"
As the billowing sand approached, the sound of horses' hooves began to reach Karn, making many of the villagers who were hiding at home nervous.
Some of the brave men looked out of their windows and saw a group of horsemen entering the village of Karn.
It was a group of cavalrymen who were far from armed and knightly.
They did not wear standard armor or uniform weapons, but freely matched different equipment, some wore armor, and some only wore a set of chain clothing, which had a sense of chaos.
They were also armed with different weapons, some were equipped with swords of the same shape, some were equipped with spare weapons such as bows and arrows, single pistols, maces, etc., and some were not even wearing weapons, and their hands were empty, but they wore iron gauntlets and fist gloves on their hands, proving that they also held force.
The first impression of such a group of people does not look like well-trained cavalry at all, but like a group of wandering mercenaries.
But the horses they rode were military horses, and each of them was quite handsome, which showed that they had an extraordinary background, and they were by no means mercenaries who lived in a fixed place.
The horsemen on their horses slowed down just before they were about to enter Karn, and by the time they entered Karn, the billowing dust behind them had disappeared without a trace.
As for their number, they were about twenty or thirty men, which was quite a good force.
"Who are you?"
The village chief plucked up his courage and came to the front of the cavalry and questioned him.
The cavalrymen looked at the village chief, then at the bloodstained surroundings, and then without saying a word, focused their gaze on one of the people in the group.
The man happened to be riding a horse, walked out of the procession, and came to the village chief.
It was a particularly eye-catching man.
The man was athletic, wearing a cuirass and carrying a heavy sword, and at first glance he knew that he was a battle-hardened warrior.
He is about 30 years old and older, his skin is slightly dark, he seems to be exposed to the sun a lot, his short black hair is neatly trimmed, and his eyes and face carry a sense of fortitude, so that the young people don't even dare to look at him directly.
The man was clearly the leader of this cavalry unit, and as soon as he came up, he immediately reported his name.
"I am the chief warrior of the kingdom of RyΕ‘tijΔ±, Gedev Storonov."
As soon as these words came out, not only the village chief, but even the strong men who accompanied him showed a look of surprise.
It's just that while they were surprised, the first thing they looked at was not Gergeff, but Rig on the side.
"Huh?"
Gurdjieff frowned slightly at the reaction of the village chiefs, but continued.
"On the orders of the king, I am leading my men to patrol the villages around Ye Lantil in order to recruit the Imperial knights who are causing rebellion in the vicinity."
"You're the consul of this village, aren't you?"
"Who is the village chief?"
Gejieff's inquiry made the village chief respond a little nervously.
"IβI'm the chief of Kahn Village, and I've seen the warrior grown."
As he spoke, the village chief took the strong men in the village and saluted Gejiefu.
Judging by the village chief's attitude, it seems that they will not do this because the other party is a privileged person, but because the man in front of them has the qualifications to make them so respectful.
And rightfully so.
Gordev Storonov, a well-known figure in the kingdom of Ristij and its neighbors.
He was not a nobleman, but he was a commoner, but he won the final victory in the king's royal tournament, so he was recruited by the king and became a courtier under the king, leading the warrior captain of the kingdom's most elite troops.
People call him the strongest warrior in the kingdom and consider him to be a being who has ventured into the realm of heroes.
The king also trusted him, so he allowed him to wear the four secret treasures held by the kingdom, so that his name as the "strongest warrior" gradually spread from the kingdom to the empire and the church in the territory.
When he was fully armed, he might not be the strongest among humans, but in the kingdom of Ri Yestij, he was truly the strongest, the idol of all warriors, and had great fame among the common people.
Therefore, even in remote border villages such as Karn, the name of the kingdom's warrior chief Gerjeff Storonov has been passed down.
The village chief knew that the person in front of him was the strongest man in the kingdom, and after being admired by countless people, he naturally didn't dare to be disrespectful.
And the chief soldier did not put up a stand, and when he saw the village chief saluting, he himself got off his horse.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the cavalry dismounted one by one, as if they were trying to follow their leader, and a small roar sounded on the ground.
"May I ask some questions? Chief! β
Gurdjieff looked at the village chief with a serious face.
No way.
"On our way, many villages were bloodied by the Imperial Knights, almost destroyed."
Gurdjieff's gaze swept around, and then looked back at the village chief.
"Looking at the way this place, it must have gone through an unusual struggle, although I am very relieved that you are okay, but what is going on here, can you please explain it to me?"
Gurdjief was indeed very happy that Karn Village was still surviving.
Along the way, I don't know how many villages have been mercilessly bloodbathed, which makes Gurdjieff very heartbroken, very sad, and at the same time extremely angry at the culprits who committed such crimes.
Before coming here, Gerjeff had even been mentally prepared to think that Karn Village would also be bloodied.
Who would have thought that Karn Village had survived, and it was a blessing in disguise.
It's just that, looking at the bloodstained appearance of Karn Village everywhere, it is obvious that it has gone through an unusually dangerous struggle.
What happened here, Gerjeff had to find out.
He had come here on the orders of the king to investigate the rebellion of the Imperial Knights.
If this was true, then he would surely annihilate them and restore peace to the villages near Yar Rantir.
Although this dispatch is full of many doubts that make people have to think about some things, if you want to understand these things, you must first know what is going on here.
The previous villages, because they were almost all wiped out, and the few survivors were transported to Ye Lantyr, Gurdjieff didn't get any useful clues at all.
Now that Karn Village has survived, Gurdjieff feels that he has finally found a breakthrough.
"That's ......"
The village chief hesitated, but finally chose to tell Gerjieff the whole story.
"The people of the Slen Sect disguised as knights of the Empire?"
After listening to the village chief's explanation, Gejieff's eyes lit up.
The warriors who followed behind Gurdjieff grimaced one by one.
"Is it a good thing that the Slian Sect did?"
"Sure enough, those rotten nobles of the kingdom also got in the way, and actually cooperated with the Slian Sect ......"
"I'll just say that the Imperial Knights are messing around Ye Lantil, why didn't the kingdom send people from the nearby fortress city to deal with it, but instead let the warrior chief unload the four secret treasures and lead a limited number of troops to come all the way to investigate."
"It must be the advice of those filthy nobles, and it is an excuse that even a child can't fool."
One by one, the fighters showed unusual indignation.
Mother Yong doubted, they all noticed that there was something wrong with this matter, and most of it was related to some nobles in the country who looked at them unpleasantly.
The strongest warrior in the kingdom is also trusted by the king, and it is impossible for such a position and such a fact not to be remembered by some nobles.
However, they did not expect that those nobles would collude with the enemy to murder Gerjief.
It's unbearable.
"Alright, don't talk about it." On the contrary, Gurdjief was very calm, reprimanded his subordinates, and said, "It's not just our people here, don't talk nonsense." β
Hearing this, the warriors closed their mouths, but the expression on their faces was still full of indignation.
Only then did Gejieff stagger his gaze away from the village chief, and turned to the young man who had been observing him since the beginning, but for some reason had no sense of existence, and it was easy for people to ignore.
Looking at the boy like this, Gurdjief realized that something was not quite right with this person.
It doesn't matter if there is no sense of existence, he can't even feel the slightest breath, it's just like transparent, if it weren't for the person standing in front of him, Gurdjief might not really notice the existence of this person here.
The other party's dress is also different from that of ordinary villagers, although it is not luxurious, but it is very clean and decent.
Such a young man still has a knife hanging from his waist and an emerald pendant around his neck, which should attract the attention of others at the first time, but it turns out to be as transparent as it is, without any sense of existence, which is really weird.
"You are the one who saved the village and exposed the true colors of those sinners, right?"
Gurdjieff stared at Rig for a moment before bending down to thank him.
"Thank you for your help."
This salute, this thanks, Gerjieff is not only for himself, but also for the villagers of Karn.
Rig protected the people he was supposed to protect, and that alone was enough for Gurdjieff to salute and thank him.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Rieg shook his head and said to the sturdy man in front of him, "I didn't do it to help you. β
"Even so, thanks to Your Excellency." Ge Jiefu said solemnly: "In addition, I still want to talk to Your Excellency, I don't know if it's convenient?" β
"Okay." Li Ge suddenly smiled and said, "I'm also quite interested in His Excellency the Warrior Commander. β
"Then I'm bothering you." Gejieff relaxed his face, turned to the village chief, and said, "Can you ask the village chief to prepare a place for us to speak?" β
"Okay, okay." The village chief nodded again and again, and said, "Please come inside." β
So they all went into the village and left the square.
