Chapter 159: The Beasts Return to the Nest
It had been two full months since the day Baron Allen suddenly disappeared, and it was the height of summer, and before the night had had time to expel the heat of the turmoil from the arid land, a new round of the morning sun had quietly emerged from the mountain stream.
The river slowly dried up under the high temperature for several days, and the waterwheels built on the riverbed eventually became ornaments, and the water in the farmland ditches dried up!
This was originally a good time to water the farmland, but at this time the Pirka collar was in a depression, and the original green crops should be in a vigorous state under the water of the well, but strangely, many rice fields were not planted with any crops, and the dry and cracked land was sparsely grown with weeds!
At this time in previous years, the ridges should be a busy scene of people coming and going, but now in this whole rice field, at a glance, there are only a few people weeding and watering, and the whole field is a desolate scene!
The old farmer, who should be old, struggled to beat a bucket of water from a well not far away, and beat his sore back, so that he couldn't even straighten his neck.
For such a depressed morning, the old peasant was almost accustomed to coming, and when he looked up, there were no more than twenty people working in the fields like him in this radius, and most of them were old people of the same age as him, and there were few young people left......
"Hey......" retracted his gaze, and the old farmer's face could not make much disappointment, and continued to struggling to move a bucket full of water to his field.
Since the viscount sent someone to collect the first grain of the year, what was originally a complete harvest has turned into a great loot for no reason, the baron has no news, and the baron's palace has not come forward, where will the peasants as civilians have room to resist?
And it turns out that even if you resist, it is useless, these ordinary farmers who regard food as their life are caught, beaten, and beaten, and in the end, the grain of every farmer is almost all looted!
The people were desperate, and the soldiers who had been selected as natives were also disappointed, how many people cried, made noise and hanged themselves in front of the Baron's Palace, but what was the use?
In the end, those who could leave angrily chose to leave the Pirka Collar, in fact, most of the people could see that this group of officers and soldiers was clearly going for the Baron Allen, but this timid Baron Allen ran away, leaving behind the tens of thousands of people in the entire territory, and ran away alone!
And these lords have become the vent of those nobles above for no reason, no one wants to do this, since this is an abandoned land, why are they still staying here? Is it still waiting for a miracle to be born, and someone can come to save this group of mountain people who have been forgotten by the world?
In this month, everyone is like following the trend, and everyone who can go is gone, leaving only some people who are reluctant to leave their ancestral homes, and those old people who can't stand the toss......
A territory that has lost its labor force, all the people no longer have the luxury of hoping that anyone else will be willing to take over such a dying territory, and no one will look forward to the day when the timid Lord Allen will return, even his internal affairs officer has been captured for almost a month, and he should have appeared a long time ago!
Oh...... Poor old Stanny.
After pouring a bucket of water, the old farmer bent over and slowly moved to the mouth of the well again, and only such a well would remind him of the genius-like young lord.
At that time, he was not afraid of people's words and insisted on improving the fertile land, digging the sacred spring, and building defenses; at that time, he was full of great achievements in suppressing bandits; at that time, he single-handedly resisted, not only disintegrated the invasion of the beast tide of the Pirka Domain, but even helped the Viscount to repel the powerful beast tide; at that time, he ran up and down for the sake of the dead soldiers to seek martyrdom for his family......
At that time, Lord Allen almost became a myth of the entire territory!
But after all, he was just a mortal, and for his own safety, he chose to escape after all, abandoning everyone and escaping ......
It's not hate, but at least the old farmer doesn't love it anymore, he only blames the young man for being too sharp, after all, he still hurts himself and others, he believes that Lord Allen is not the kind of person that everyone curses, but so what?
The bucket slid down the rope to the bottom of the well, and there was a crackling sound of water, and when the water was full, the old farmer would lift the water up with a rattling drum, and pour the water into the bucket beside him, as he had repeated nearly a hundred times today.
Suddenly, a low beast roar came from afar!
Not only the old peasants, but almost all the people in the fields heard this not very loud beast roar! For the cultivators, no matter when they encounter a beast or a monster, it will be an extremely dangerous existence!
With fear on their faces, everyone looked up at the sky, because this cry came from the sky, but at this glance, everyone's faces instantly turned white!
"W-What is that?" one shouted, pointing to the fast-moving 'dark cloud' in the sky.
Without answering him, everyone stared at the moving fortress in the sky with bated breath!
"Whoa-" "Roar-" "Roar-"......
The cry grew nearer, like a wail from hell.
"It's a Warcraft! It's a Warcraft!" The silent wilderness just now instantly boiled, and finally someone couldn't help but burst into the fear that was suppressed in the bottom of their hearts, and the fear instantly spread in the wilderness!
"Look, what is that!" At this time, the herd of demonic beasts that gathered like thunderclouds was still two kilometers away, but a sharp-eyed farmer noticed the little abnormality in the sky, and he pointed to a black spot in front of the 'thundercloud' and opened his eyes wide.
It's still far away, but after all, the outline of that point looks so familiar.
"It's a man, it's a man!" It only took a moment for someone to be sure what that thing was flying in the front!
A burst of demonic beasts dancing in the sky under black pressure shocked the hearts and souls of everyone on the earth, people living in such a remote mountain village may have heard of these demonic beasts that can carry people to fly in the sky, but who has really seen it? Not to mention that this appearance is such a huge group!
Soon, this thundercloud, which was even more terrifying than the thundercloud, had arrived in front of everyone in the blink of an eye, because it flew too low, in addition to the group of monsters with a number of catties and hundreds of monsters that made people feel frightened, in fact, more people had noticed the person flying in front of the beasts!
