Chapter 29: Steady

"What?"

In the captain's cognition, he thought that it would be at least three days, or even four days, before he could see the vanguard of the barbarians, but it turned out that his thoughts still could not keep up with the speed of the enemy, and the speed of the barbarians' march was much faster than he imagined.

Immediately, without any hesitation, he summoned the two detachment leaders and put the whole village into a state of mobilization, ready to resist the invasion of the barbarians.

At the same time, Xavier's system in his head also received a prompt sound.

[Current mission trigger: Stop the barbarian invasion of Reston Village.] 】

【Reward: Skill Points x3】

At this moment, Xavier's heart suddenly became excited.

Not only for those three skill points, but also because he can protect everything here through the steel sword in his hand.

Guarding the entire garrison barracks, guarding Barry and Cassity, guarding the other villagers, and guarding the rescued girls.

He has this ability, and he has this ability.

Perhaps at first, he had no feelings for this world at all, but as time passed, he gradually developed a sense of belonging to this place.

He likes to train with Miss Hannah, he likes to eat Isabella's food, and he likes to wander around and receive salutes from the villagers.

But the barbarians want to destroy it.

So Xavier doesn't agree, he's going to expel them all!

According to the captain, it will not take more than a week to make a rapid march from the south, and it has been six days since the news of the fall of the north has been received.

In short, they just need to hold out a little longer and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Therefore, at this moment, the morale of the entire village of Reston was very high, and it was not in the slightest that the barbarians who had destroyed the entire First Legion could easily defeat them.

According to the captain's plan, he divided the entire Reston wall into three parts, the so-called north, east and south three districts.

Why is there no West End? The reason is simple: there is a river on the west side, and the barbarians must not climb up on the river.

As for the North Zone, which is the area between the village of Reston and the Northern Forest, the captain decides to keep it under his own control, and gives the East Zone to Zevi and the South Zone to Hannah.

According to the Barbarians' route, they would most likely choose to attack the Northeast and the Northeast, unless they chose to make a big detour to the South, so the captain decided to give Xavier the important task of guarding the East, and he was sure that the detachment leader would not let him down.

Xavier, on the other hand, needed to answer his expectations.

As time passed, Xavier saw in the distance, groups of blackened heads surging in the distance.

There were not many people, about hundreds, probably the vanguard of the barbarians, but each of them wore a rather thick armor and strong horses under them, and they looked more elite.

If you let your people go out to fight with them, it is estimated that all the soldiers will die on the spot in less than a minute, of course, referring to their side, but they have a wall now, and if the barbarians want to attack them, they must give up their mobility advantage and have a white-knuckle battle with them.

In this way, they have the advantage of the defender and can play more and less.

The barbarians, as if not wanting to waste their time in such a small village, took a captive and asked him to persuade the village of Reston to surrender.

"Why do you still have to work for the king? You all know that he is a mediocre and unscrupulous prince who is married to his own sister, and it will not end well for him to die for him. ”

"But wouldn't it be happy if you would go to us, and be able to serve under our Emperor His Majesty, and enjoy the best wine, and the best food?"

Although the people of the Minoan Empire often refer to the people of the Northern Empire as barbarians, in fact they are not really barbarians, but have their own civilization and culture, but compared to the Minoan Empire, which has developed for hundreds of years, their culture is like a child, with many ignorant and cruel customs, so they are called 'barbarians'.

Therefore, after hearing the persuasion of this captive, many soldiers of Reston Village could not help laughing, what is the best wine, the best food, this kind of advertising slogan was outdated ten years ago!

As for why not to serve the king, it's even more funny, they are fighting for themselves, not for the empire, not for the bullshit king!

Immediately, under Xavier's leadership, everyone raised their middle fingers at the captive, and shouted together:

"I'd rather die here than be a lackey of the barbarians!"

Seeing the neat movements, the captive's face suddenly turned red with anger, and You Zaina retorted: "What's wrong with being their dog!"

But his rebuttal was apparently powerless, and the village of Reston responded with a series of laughs mocking him for his shameless traitor who had betrayed his country.

Seeing this scene, the barbarian leader next to him couldn't help but ask the captive, "Allen-kun, what are those white-skinned people talking about?"

"Returning to the great Taijun. The captive nodded and said, "They are laughing at the princes for not having the courage to attack such a small village." ”

As soon as he heard the words of the captives, the leader of the barbarians was immediately furious, but they had destroyed the so-called First Legion, and their prestige should have spread far and wide?

But it's a pity that they don't have many troops now, and he doesn't want to waste his elite soldiers in such a small village, and he doesn't understand why a small village has such a high wall, even more majestic than some small towns in the north, and he doesn't know what those white-skinned people think.

But do you have to endure the anger you have suffered because of this?" thought the barbarian unwillingly, and then looked at the many soldiers beside him, and finally shook his head.

It's not worth it to cause the soldiers to die here for the sake of your own anger! It's better to wait for the follow-up reinforcements to come and then attack.

When the time comes, he will kill all the men in the village who are taller than the axles, leaving only the women for their pleasure!

After deciding, he asked all the soldiers to retreat dozens of miles, as if they were going to retreat.

The captive next to him was immediately stunned, he had just seen the barbarian show an angry expression, why was he stunned in an instant?

And the soldiers in the village of Reston, seeing that the so-called powerful barbarians did not even dare to attack, laughed one after another, and laughed at this group of cowards who had no courage.

But Xavier knew very well that it wasn't over yet, because in his head, there was no hint of 'mission accomplished'.
