Chapter 252 Armed Silver Pine City, the royal family in distress(1/3)
Outside Yinsong City.
In the simple tent, some refugees gathered together.
From the clothes these people wear, we can see that they must have been ordinary people before.
As the saying goes, those who are capable have the ability everywhere!
Just like now, these former merchants, knights, and even nobles have become the leaders of these refugees, although they do not want this position at all.
"Everyone, what should we do next..."
There was a middle-aged man with a slightly round figure and a haggard face.
He was originally a businessman with little assets, but because of the war, he had no time to prepare and was separated from his subordinates. Now he has become a commander-in-law.
Although he successfully became one of the leaders through his own efforts and money, he did not have a trace of complacency. He would rather have three or five slaves than these refugees.
Slaves are obedient, and these refugees are not obedient at all. It is really troublesome to manage them!
Especially now, the gold coins in his hand are not easy to use. He was always on guard against someone robbing his few gold coins. He did have one when he fled, but now there is no one because gold coins cannot keep refugees alive, and food can.
"Oh, who knows that this Yinsong City has never let go!"
Another person spoke.
This is a woman with a plump figure. Judging from her clothes, she is obviously a nobleman. Her clothes are dirty and her face is a little sallow. She doesn't look very good.
"Or why don't we go somewhere else?"
A knight in broken armor next to the female nobleman spoke.
He was the recruited knight of the female nobles. When their territory was breached, he vowed to leave to the death, otherwise the female nobles would have died long ago. He was beloved by the female nobles, but he was also trapped here, and it was not said that it was a loss or a profit.
"No, there is only Yinsong City and one big city here. Other places are too small. If you are attacked by the rebels, you can't stop them. If you go to another big city, you have to go back south. There is a great chance of encountering the rebels..."
The female nobleman holds the knight's hand.
Her words were also the reason why no one left.
If you leave now, you will most likely starve to death. It is better to stay here and live one more day of chance.
But what made them feel lucky was that the lord of Yinsong City was not too inhumane. Although they would not let them take a step forward, they would give them some black bread to eat.
For example, a female nobleman, who never eats black bread, thinks that this black bread is so delicious for the first time.
"Or else, we are going to talk to the Lord of Yinsong City? Otherwise, even if we can survive, when the rebels chase after us, we will still die without a tall city wall..."
Someone said again.
He is also a lord and can understand the idea of the lord of Yinsong City. After all, there are too many refugees and no one dares to put them in rashly, but no matter how much he understands, he still has to fight for it.
"Don't waste your energy, that city lord is smart..."
Someone is decadent.
"Or why, let's try and force it in..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was silent for a moment.
Many people even breathed a little rapid, but after waiting for a long time, no one finally agreed.
They are not civilians who don’t know anything. They can infer the scale of Yinsong City and the soldiers on the city wall that the force in the city is absolutely powerful. If they really attack Yinsong City, they don’t know whether they can attack them. But without any equipment and without much strength, they will definitely die miserably.
"No, absolutely not!"
Someone stopped him.
If it was a small town, they might have done that, but Yinsong City might not seem prosperous or well-known enough, but the force of this city is definitely not weak.
"well……"
Everyone sighed again.
They were helpless and had almost no power in these refugee camps. If they died, they would be a big loss.
While everyone was a little silent, a noise suddenly came from outside.
"What happened? Could it be that there would be another fight, right? When is it now! I deserve these people to be unable to make money..."
A refugee who looked like a businessman complained angrily.
If he hadn't felt that everyone would have a higher chance of surviving by joining together to keep warm, he really wouldn't want to be with these refugees who are mixed with each other.
"Let's go and have a look!"
The crowd hurried out, but found that it was not a refugee fighting, but someone in Yinsongcheng seemed to be coming out!
Outside the south gate of Yinsong City is a circle of moats. After a rumbling sound, the huge suspension bridge was put down.
Some refugees thought Yinsongcheng had let them in, and were excitedly preparing to rush forward, but a few arrows flew to their feet, making the refugees dare not act rashly.
Several knights walked out with a group of fully armed soldiers. There were not many people, but for these refugees, the shaky sword still made everyone take several steps back.
The Knight didn't say nonsense, and said directly:
"For your experience, our Marquis is deeply sympathetic. He is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you wandering in the wilderness. He decided that if you obey the laws of our Silver Song City and are willing to pay a portion of the price, he will give you shelter!"
Before the Knight finished speaking, someone immediately shouted:
"We absolutely obey the law, and we do whatever we let us do, just want to give me a bite!"
No one cares what the price is. They have nothing left, so it would be great to survive.
"Yes, yes, we must obey the law!"
"That's right, Lord Marquis, please let us in!"
“…”
There was a mess below.
Even those refugee "leaders" were excited. After waiting for so long, have you finally waited for hope?
"Since that's the case, come in in order, everyone consciously line up and then come over to register. If you find that there are people who are not disciplined, deliberately make trouble or even forcefully pass the levels - kill!"
choke!
The knight pulled out the long sword that shined with cold light, and saw the fear in the eyes of the civilians, and then said with satisfaction:
"Then you can come in now, be careful, line up, don't jump in, or - kill!"
The refugees lined up obediently, and the "leaders" came to maintain order in person, and even took up swords to supervise everyone.
After all, I finally saw the dawn of hope and cannot be destroyed.
However, everyone has different character. Some people are willing to pay any price to be protected, while others do not just want to obtain protection...
These people who were beating Xiaojiu in their hearts looked at each other and then remained silent.
The team finally got to the bottom of it.
After registering the basic information, the registered soldier said:
"You go there and wait. There is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get the protection of the Marquis, you have to make your efforts. We will arrange work for you. If you don't want to, you can go back."
The soldiers saw that these people were in good physical condition and were ready to be assigned to the team that repaired the city walls.
These people stopped doing it immediately. They came to seek shelter, not to work!
brush!
As if they had agreed, these people suddenly rushed into the city, and they pushed many refugees, and suddenly they were in a panic.
The soldiers were startled. They didn't expect that under their noses, there was really someone who dared to cause trouble!
The refugees outside who had not yet entered the city were also a little excited, and many were even ready to move.
After all, if you go in a moment, you will be less dangerous. No one knows when the rebels attacked them. People are selfish.
"These idiots!"
The nobles were furious when those merchants who had not yet entered the city.
If you anger the people in Yinsong City and don’t let them in, you will be in trouble for eight lifetimes!
But strangely, after a while, the soldiers were panicked, and looked at the refugees rushing in, and no one was chasing them, and they were still stationed at the city gate.
It seemed as if the refugees were allowed to escape.
Just when the refugees thought the soldiers were not too late to deal with them, they were about to be free.
Whoosh ~
Suddenly, a sound of slashing through the air sounded, and then everyone was shocked to see that on the city wall, several giant spears as thick as arms suddenly flew out.
Then it was extremely accurate to the refugees who had run far away.
These people were like paper-paste, instantly torn apart by a giant spear!
“!!!”
Everyone was shocked, including the soldiers at the city gate.
Good, this is the strength of the orcs!
