Chapter 15: Roger, the Thief
And at the foot of the war horse were the heads of his two most powerful knights, but the knight's body was on the edge of the pit.
There was a depression in his chest, and the marks on it were the scars from being thrown by a giant axe, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he was still staring at the people around the pit without fear.
"Haha, Carwindi, you also have today, how are you, do you dare to provoke me?" At the edge of the pit, Edward laughed wildly and continued to mock with words.
Today is his proudest day, and he is sure to have a good time.
"Edward, you despicable and shameless traitor, if you dare to kill me, the Earl will not let you go." Carwindi yelled angrily at Edward.
Edward waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, no, it wasn't me who killed you, but a shameless thief." ”
Then, he looked at a yellow-and-white long-haired man with dark skin and a scar on his face: "I'll leave the rest to you, after the matter is done, the benefits will definitely satisfy you, you know, I'm a very honest person." ”
"Hmph, voila."
The scarred, long-haired man with five or six men with oddly shaped weapons smirked around and prepared to end the life of Baron Carwindy, the second most powerful group of thieves in the vicinity.
However, the mutation protrusions.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Two or three heavy arrows roared in succession, and the four thieves fell in response.
Li Feng, wearing a mask, rode out of the hillside like a killing god, waving his spear, and in less than half an hour, the defenseless thieves were completely killed.
Baron Edward turned around and tried to reorganize the attack, but saw that Carwindy, who was waiting for death in the pit with his eyes closed, was pulled up and walked away, angrily greeting the mother of the thieves.
"Mr. Knight, you must be a warrior sent by the merciful Lord to save me, and I must thank you well for returning to Dialing with me." After getting out of danger, Carwindi gave Li Feng a big hug and said enthusiastically.
Li Feng said in a choked voice: "Your Excellency Caveindy, I am not a knight, I am a farmer. ”
"Well, untouchables, that's a pity."
Cawindi hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, come back to Dialing with me, I can give you an extra 50 acres of fertile land, and another 30 Tarun of wheat flour, which is a great gift." ”
"Hehe, no."
Li Feng replied indifferently and turned to leave, although he had expected it, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Sure enough, the contempt for farmers in the bones of these nobles could not be changed.
After returning to the realm, Cawindi vowed to pay a terrible price for Edward, and the matter was brought to their immediate superior, Earl Devonhi.
Earl Devondy played the high art of mud and came to a one-on-one heads-up between knights, and Baron Carwindy won with a score of 3:2 and received Luke 500 gold in compensation.
In addition, Edward did not abide by the rules of the nobility, and actually colluded with thieves to hurt Baron Carwindy, the crime was unforgivable, deprived of the status of the lord, and escorted to the royal prison to serve his sentence, Luke was inherited by his eldest son Garcia and paid 1,000 gold coins to Dia Ling.
At this point, the war is completely over.
Cawindi lay down and recuperated in his hospital bed, leaving the reins of the territory to his eldest son, Thomas.
Thomas also lived up to expectations, using the 1,500 gold coins he received from Luc to expand the knights' team to more than 30 people, and the strength under his command has far exceeded the normal range of the lord, directly chasing the army of Count Devonci.
In the final analysis, this is a game between nobles, and it has little to do with farmers like Li Feng, whose role is to promote the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield, and by the way, contribute to the knights on both sides and brush up on military merits.
In fact, it is the thieves who are active in the surrounding areas who are really dangerous to the territory.
As for Li Feng, no one paid attention to him and disappeared for a while, and because he had no meritorious service, he naturally did not get any reward.
In the evening, he dressed up briefly, but he restored himself to the appearance of a one-armed farmer, and his life returned to his daily life.
Two or three months after the Elk War, a more powerful group of thieves appeared around Dia Ling, they were very different from the previous thieves, they were no longer reckless, but proficient in all kinds of traps and poisons, and understood the rules of gang crime.
Even more puzzling is that they seem to be particularly fond of robbing lords and merchants of their direct possessions, and are not interested in poor farmers, much to the annoyance of Lord Cawindi.
Led by Thomas, more than 30 knights, and more than 1,000 people, Dia led the largest encirclement force in the history of the territory to the mountains and forests around the territory.
After paying the price of more than fifty casualties, the thieves were finally driven out of the territory and killed more than ten of them.
During the siege, one of the thieves was unlucky enough to be shot in the thigh by Thomas, but because he could not catch up with the fleeing army, he was abandoned by his companions and hid in the bushes in a ravine.
Coincidentally, it was found by Li Feng following the bloodstains.
Li Feng moved him to a hidden cave, treated his wounds urgently, fed him some cheese and jerky, and looked for herbs nearby to heal his wounds.
It took more than ten days to save his life.
"My name is Roger, thank you for saving me as a thief, and I can share it with you when I grab something in the future."
Li Feng shook his head: "I didn't save you for benefits, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better for me to cut off your head and give it to Baron Cawindi in Dia Collar in exchange for 50 gold coins." ”
"Don't want benefits, so what do you want?"
"Buy, I want to make a deal with you."
"Buying and selling?"
For the first time, this man in his thirties, with brown eyes and yellow hair, who looked much like the size of the barbarians in the west, had doubts about his life experience of traveling north and south for so many years.
The eighteen- or nineteen-year-old young man in front of him could easily press him to the ground and beat him violently, even if he didn't kill him and receive a bounty, and now he actually wanted to do business with a thief like him.
"I'm just a thief, it's not a good profession, when my head is worth more than 500 gold coins on the wanted warrant, I even have to be careful of my companions, people like me can't do business with you at all, there is no money and no goods, everything depends on robbery and stealing."
Roger shook his head and refused.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, sometimes buying and selling is not the same as asking for money and goods, there are other ways, you take me to find your boss first, I need to talk to him."
Li Feng's proposal, Roger did not refuse, the young man in front of him always gave him a very reliable feeling.
Among the companions he knew, there were those who stabbed their brothers twice for 100 gold coins, and there were also those who drew knives for prostitutes, but no one took care of a strange thief like Li Feng until he recovered.
Soon, Roger led Li Feng to their lair, a mountainside platform that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
