Chapter 12: Grazing Action (Part 1)
There was no one on the square in front of Roska Castle, but since Annien and Reinstein came here, they have become the center of the area. Although they are on the front line of war, many adventurers have formed teams to come here for business.
The soldiers strictly supervised the forced migration of tenants to build wooden houses. On the burned plains, wooden houses had been built, and crops had been planted in the newly reclaimed land. In the square, adventurers who received the task proudly escorted batches of slaves to the officials of the city hall. Each slave's face must be branded with a bright red mark. Female slaves can be branded on their shoulders, so the air was filled with a stench of burnt flesh and screams from time to time.
"This is simply tyranny, disgusting. How can such evil acts appear publicly!" Among the three adventurers watching the behavior in the square, a woman dressed in a warrior said in disgust, and next to her was a young priest, embroidered with a crescent moon entangled with a mane on the corner of her clothes, which means she is the priest of the unicorn goddess Lari.
Next to the two of them was a man in a mage robe. He pulled up his hood and said coldly: "Shana, if you want to stay here, don't provoke the authority of the local lord casually, and don't try to do anything that makes the lord unhappy. Look there, that's the end of meddling in other people's business!"
On the other side of the square, the pillars were nailed and floating, some human bodies that had been air-dried or were close to air-dried, dressed by adventurers, dressed by tenants, and even corpses that looked like knights. The stench came from afar, with a hint of dying moans.
"Danbimon, how can you be so sympathetic!" Shana couldn't help but feel indignant.
"No sympathy? Humph, do you know that there is no basic politics? Resisting orc invasion is now an overwhelming event, and the lord takes office, and is also a key point in establishing and consolidating his authority. No matter whoever is, at this time, the authority who dares to provoke the lord for any reason can only be punished with steadfast punishment - and this is usually hung there and dried up. Even a team led by a level 11 paladin was executed on the spot the day before yesterday for provoking the lord's authority, without hesitation, and without tolerance. In comparison, what are you worthy of!"
Dan Bimon said in a mean tone and said to the female priest again, and the sentence suddenly became gentle: "Ye Daisy, and here is not unconditional suppression. You can find a good job here. Now the tenant farmers in the territory need a large number of priests, and the level requirements are not high. You can even obtain the qualification to preach after a certain contribution. Come, I will take you there."
The body of the paladin hanging in the air and drying, was suddenly filled with the emblem of the God of Justice. Shana realized that she was shocked. Her voice immediately lowered, and Ye Daisy, who was beside her, couldn't help but grab her holy talisman, with a look of fear on her face.
Even the Saint Warriors in the Land of Justice dare to kill, and a few adventurers and a priest of a little god is no problem at all. This is indeed a very good warning.
He walked into the castle and came to the office hall of the town hall. In it, the busy officials were working. He had no time to look up and see who was the person who came, until it was their turn. A forty-year-old man came to look up. He said a little tiredly: "What's the matter?"
"My name is Ye Daisy, and I am the great Pastor of Lari, Level 2. I heard you need a priest here?"
"Yes, of course we need it here. Are you Ye Daisy? Then you have two choices, one is to work in the castle, and the other is to work in the village below. The former has a higher salary, while the latter is harder and has a low salary. However, if you have accumulated a certain degree of qualifications, you can preach in the village. Which one do you choose?" The middle-aged man heard that she was a pastor and said in a gentle tone.
"I chose to go to the village, and I have two companions, one is a level 3 warrior and the other is a level 2 mage."
"Oh, this is great, and you can sign the Adventure Team Guarding Contract. The contract period is half a year. During the contract period, you must be responsible for the tasks of healing and guarding at the same time. What do you think?"
The six-month employed and the salary was not very low. The adventurers looked at each other, discussed a few words, and then agreed. Therefore, within a few minutes, the contract was signed.
"Okay, go to the Sixth Village. I believe that when you get there, you will understand the policies in our territory more deeply." The office staff also signed the order and said, "Next!"
The three of them left the door. At this moment, Dan Bimon's eyes thundered for a moment. He moved his eyes to the castle and saw a team of fierce cavalry running out of the castle. There were about thirty cavalry, among which there were elves. The headed people were not warriors and knights, but a mage wearing a mage robe. The young mage was obvious, with traces of half-elves, and his eyes were strangely black, deep and firm. The mage's eyes swept over the adventurer, but he didn't pay attention and ran out of the castle directly.
"What are they doing?" Ye Daixi asked.
The mage in the head was full of murderous aura, especially a team of cavalry gathered murderous aura. Looking at their eyes, they were so calm and unpredictable. Dan Bimon couldn't help but feel a little cold sweat: "This is no longer a secret. The head was Anin, the lord of the newly established Earl of Earl Ays. They went to sweep the orc territory, just like the orc territory often sent small groups of people to come here from a hidden and narrow place to sweep. There is a term called "Tao Cao."
"Take grass?"
"But the meaning of plunder and killing." Dan Bimon explained, his tone was cold: "Note, this is war, there is no favor, the division between justice and evil does not exist here! The only thing is victory."
After hearing this, Shana looked dissatisfied, while Ye Daisy, the young girl, trembled gently.
At this time, Annien ignored the newly emerged strange adventurers in the territory. Now, humans and orcs have already formed hatred in a short period of time. Because Annien's side is firm and clearing the fields and concentrating the population to designated areas, most of the orcs have failed to beat grass many times. However, Annien's side has achieved quite good results. After all, although the Orc Khanate was established and it has begun to become stronger and stronger, the 20,000-year tribal tradition has not completely collapsed. Therefore, the orc tribes scattered near the border line cannot be unified and concentrated in safe areas, so they have been attacked and slaughtered by many humans.
However, after many attacks, both the orc tribe and the orc army have blocked the main roads and are waiting for the human grass-fighting team. Therefore, the battle of wits and courage continues to take place in the dividing line between orcs and humans, and is becoming more and more intense and bloody.
But Annien still participated in such a slaughter without hesitation. Today, he is increasingly in need of killing between life and death to digest the rising spiritual power as soon as possible. In fact, every other week, God’s judgment is conducted. He is under the pressure of God, and his spiritual power cannot be increased even if he wants to increase greatly. Therefore, using the battle between life and death to digest and adapt to the high-increase spiritual power is the first digestion process, and the meditation after each killing is to completely integrate the spiritual power.
The judgment of God - life and death killing - meditation and fusion has become his best path to practice. Now, in just two months in the North, he has gone through six times of grass shooting. His spiritual power has broken through the thirteenth level mark and has become a thirteenth level mage.
Anne's horse was already in front of a jungle an hour later, and his eyes were cold. He stared at the jungle in the distance and began to guide the power of the magic net.
"Peeling at the Magic Eye!" This is a prophetic level five spell. The casting time is only one minute, but it can create a magic eye with a very high speed and hidden power. It can search for areas up to 2 kilometers, so it can avoid the brigade and annihilate the squad.
The power of magic surged out on Annien. A looming eye appeared in the air and then flew towards the distance. All the cavalry remained silent, but their eyes were already showing awe. In the battle between life and death, the strong, cruel and wise commander was the idol of the warrior. After many killings and battles, Annien had successfully established authority. Even the elves and Reinstein's troops were also impressed by this combat and command style that was different from Reinstein, but also quite successful.
"Everyone, there is a team of 100 orc troops guarding the front. Let's kill them all! Let's use them to start the battle targets this time!" After a while, Ann felt all the news and said to his warrior confidently.
"Yes, sir." All the soldiers said in unison.
The team moved forward and stopped in front of a small river. The orcs on the other side also knew some military tactics. Although they may not be learned, they were just the experience of veterans, they should not be underestimated, because the terrain on that side was obviously not suitable for cavalry marching.
