Link waved to Mrs. Everborn, who kept looking back, and watched as the last group of town residents began to walk out of the town gate with their simple luggage.
"I said, can I..." Captain Chisne came over with a sullen expression. Just as he was about to speak, Link glared at him and shrank back.
"Okay! Okay!" He muttered, and got on the horse: "I know that good things will not happen to me, even if I want to be a hero!"
"Captain Chisne, you are wrong to think so. You must know that as long as you can send all these folks to Saren City safely," Link said to him seriously: "It will be the greatest success that has completed the key mission."
You are a hero! And don’t forget, I am still counting on you to save my life!”
"Oh! That's right!" Zisny slapped his head: "You stay in the town and I protect the residents. Counting this, we have completed half of the mission by ourselves. Hehe, my role is no better than yours.
Bad!"
"Yes, yes!" Link was also amused by him, and now he began to feel that this rude man was actually quite cute: "Get on the road, hero, be careful of your horse, I think it doesn't seem to be very satisfied with you.
Looks like that!”
There are not many war horses in the special operations force this time. Except for a few commanders, there are not even trainee knights like Link. Fortunately, there are many best hunters in this town, so there are still some.
The horse that Captain Zisner is riding now is the original horse of Aifuben's family.
Even on this continent that has been peaceful for who knows how many years, the cavalry of the Bavarian Empire is still a force that can frighten the entire continent. From ordinary soldiers to even some ordinary residents with a little bit of conditions, they have been there since childhood.
He has received riding training. Although Link has never ridden a horse seriously, the number of times his little dad took him to the foggy night forest to ravage those poor monsters since he was a child is really not that few.
Not to mention these soldiers who have just undergone formal training.
So in order to ensure that all the residents of the town could evacuate the town first, Link assigned some soldiers to help the elderly residents and children who could not walk, and rode slowly on their horses. This small town near the mountains
Although it is not considered prosperous, there are thousands of people including old and young. This basically uses up all the horses in the town, leaving only the ten horses specially left by Link, and
The horse that Captain Zisner is riding now can be regarded as the best horse in the town.
In their plan, Captain Zisny was going to run at full speed to seek assistance from the defenders of Saren City, so of course he had to ride the fastest horse. However, good horses also have a strong temper. Captain Zisny
It took some effort for the captain to tame it just now.
"My equestrian performance in the military camp was perfect for three years." Captain Zisny lifted the reins very skillfully, and the horse snorted. He looked up and saw that almost all the residents were about to leave the town.
He finally turned his horse's head and said to Link: "Brother, take care of yourself!"
Link waved to him as if he didn't care at all: "Let's go, let's go, why are you such a mother-in-law!"
Captain Chisne laughed loudly, shouted, drove the horse under his legs, and galloped out with lightning speed. When he came to the corner of the road, he suddenly stopped the horse under his legs.
"I have calculated the round trip. It will be three days at the latest." He turned his head and shouted to Link and the others who were standing in the center of the town watching the residents leave: "No matter how long it takes Saren City to do so in three days."
No matter whether the reinforcements come or not, I will definitely come back with you!"
He turned his head, laughed and patted his horse and left. His last words came in the night wind: "You guys, remember to leave a few bandits for me to kill, otherwise I will be in trouble with you when I come back!"
"Tch", Link made a contemptuous gesture behind him: "I am obviously the protagonist this time, why does this guy always like to steal my words and make himself seem cooler than the protagonist!"
"Hahaha!" The remaining soldiers, even the honest Kermilla, couldn't help laughing.
Although the residents of those small towns are reluctant to part with this land where they have lived for who knows how many years, and they are still worried about their relatives who are still uncertain whether they are alive or dead on the mountain, but just now Link swore an oath with the honor of a knight, and swore that before he
Before the last drop of blood is shed, he will never let any bandit step into the town. If the villagers can trust him, they will temporarily retreat to Saren City to escape. He Link
The knights will definitely guard the town until the imperial support army arrives.
The residents of these small towns looked at Link's sincere face and knew that Link was sincerely thinking about them, so under the leadership of the old mayor, everyone packed up some of the most important things without saying anything more.
He began to follow Link's instructions and evacuate towards Saren City.
It took Link a lot of effort to reluctantly nod and agree to protect the residents and leave together. Instead, it was the soldiers who had wanted to leave earlier. When Link said that he only wanted to leave ten people to accompany him to protect the town, the others
When they had to protect the residents on the road, they almost rebelled. It was not until Link finally showed the majesty of the knight and used the safety of the residents to persuade and scare them that these guys reluctantly calmed down.
So the overall plan was decided like this. A dozen soldiers escorted the residents of the town to Saren City as soon as possible, while ten soldiers stayed behind to accompany Link to protect the town.
Of course, Kemilla must have stayed, and Link knew that he would never let him leave at this time, so he didn't waste any time talking.
The reason why soldiers are required to escort is mainly because of the chaos along the route, with many scattered defeated troops running around. Therefore, although a dozen soldiers cannot really play any role, at least the military appearance is good.
Their strictness can also prevent the defeated army from turning around and attacking the residents. Moreover, after arriving in Saron City, under the escort of these soldiers who have been officially tasked with protecting the residents, the governor of Saren City did not dare to
Failure to properly accept and arrange for these residents.
As for the route, he didn't need to worry. The small town residents were extremely familiar with the nearby terrain, and the route they chose would definitely be correct.
Link didn't know how he suddenly knew how to think about so many complicated things that he would never have thought of before. Maybe it was because he didn't want to!
Just like the special operations force's bandit suppression this time, as long as there is something unexpected, it will immediately collapse so ugly.
Could this be the "growing up" that Big Daddy has been talking about before? Link felt a little complacent for a while and laughed a few times.
His little dad had taught him that the more dangerous and uncertain the thing he wanted to do was, the more relaxed he had to be, so that good ideas would continue to come out.
Besides, it is indeed impossible to defeat the gangsters who are said to number more than a thousand with just a dozen or so people. However, we can hold on for two or three days until the reinforcements from Saren City arrive.
, it’s not necessarily something that’s so uncertain!
Link's relaxed expression obviously affected the mood of several soldiers around him, and they all gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, Kemila couldn't help but admire her brother. When he could almost hear the sound of the enemy's horseshoes, he could also make the people around him relax. This was really not an easy thing.
What about things.
Why haven't I discovered that this guy has such an ability before? It seems that he might actually have the talent to be a great knight!
"Link", but Kermilla still spoke to interrupt Link's silly smile: "Then what should we do now?"
Counting the time, those gangsters might arrive at dawn. Even if Link is really a great knight, he can't just stand here and do nothing. In that case, even if Link is too powerful, he might just become
The legendary undead knight!
"Yes, we still have a lot of things to do." Link was finally pulled out of his beautiful imagination of the future by Kermilla: "The places that the old mayor and several other old men just drew for you,
You all still remember it!"
"Remember!" The soldiers nodded in unison.
Just before the residents of the town left, Link took the old mayor and a few old hunters to detail the specific locations of some traps near the town that were specially designed to target ferocious beasts.
He told the soldiers and asked them to memorize them separately. For some places that were difficult to remember, he even drew instructions.
"That's good." Link nodded fiercely: "There's still some time before dawn, and we have to start getting ready to entertain those friends!"
It's dawn!
…………
There was a noisy sound of horse hooves, carrying billowing smoke and dust from the mountains, approaching from far away.
"Brothers, please be energetic. The annoying hunters in the village are not here now, but there are a large group of young ladies and young wives waiting for us to take over. How can you cope with it with your looks like birds now!"
The one-eyed man at the head had a strong upper body and the muscles on his arms were bulging. He looked almost stronger than Kmilla. Now he turned around and shouted loudly, causing people behind him to shout.
The gangsters burst into laughter.
"Damn", the one-eyed man heard the reluctance and hesitation in these guys' laughter, and cursed secretly in his stomach: "a bunch of eggless things!"
None of them were born to be bandits and horse thieves. Many of them were residents who originally hunted and farmed in this mountain range. They just came a few years ago with the prosperity of trade between the two empires of Bavaria and Saqqara, and suddenly there were
One day, the two empires announced almost at the same time that some kind of precious mineral vein had just been discovered in the mountains where they lived. Then they actively organized many people to start mining, forcing them to move out of where their ancestors had lived for generations.
However, it failed to give them a better way to live and a more stable meal, so many people took the risk and became horse thieves.
In fact, they were not horse thieves in the early days. They were just some savages who had lost their homes and haunted the deep mountains and old forests. They were really hungry and couldn't bear it, so they ran to the surrounding villages to get some food.
, occasionally couldn't help but rob business travelers in one or two aisles, and were often chased around by the bodyguards they hired.
Thinking of this, the one-eyed man's own eye, which had lost consciousness for a long time, was aching. His eye was that one time when he was so hungry that he ran to block a road for a few brothers to eat, and robbed a roadblock.
A wealthy businessman was picked out by his bodyguard.
"If it weren't for the boss," the one-eyed man thought to himself, "Humph, if it weren't for the boss, our group would have starved to death long ago!"
He knew that these brothers were filled with the same awe as him for this boss who was almost like a god in their hearts.
If the boss hadn't reintegrated the people in their villages who were living in the mountains after defeating all the temporary leaders, and formed the current situation that could truly run rampant in Bavar and Sakala.
The border of the great empire makes all passing merchants fearful. No one dares to look down on horse thieves. They really can't imagine what they have become now!
After all, when the boss took them in, their old, young, and slightly weaker relatives had all starved to death!
So if you are a horse thief, be a horse thief!
At least now they don't have to look at other people's faces, and they won't have enough to eat. At least they can kill whoever they want for those businessmen who are unkind for their wealth!
However, the one-eyed man can still understand where the hesitations in the hearts of those brothers come from.
Why do they say that they have been killing those businessmen who, in their eyes, have forced their families to live in ruins and leave their homes? No matter how many people die, it is not a pity!
But now they are going to massacre the village!
The people we want to kill this time are the residents of a small town who live the same life as before, living around this mountain and living in isolation!
It's no wonder that these brothers no longer have the urge to kill that they had just experienced from the overwhelming force and the urge to escape from death. One or two of them looked a little listless and worried.
But who told the hunters in these small towns to be so blind that they would actually lead the way for the special operations forces of the two empires? After all, everyone used to be able to keep their distance, even if they occasionally went down the mountain to harass these hunters.
, it was just to get a few wild animals and other wild game to eat, and never harmed any of them. Now they have all found themselves, so no wonder the elders want to take revenge!
What's more, if you just lead the way, maybe it's okay, but one of the hunters is still such a bastard. When the defeated army has already scattered, he turns around and shoots the boss with an arrow.
Miss Ailian, the woman I pursue with all my strength!
In fact, when they just heard that the two major empires on the mainland had formed a special operations force to wipe out them, everyone's hearts were filled with fear!
Before they were forced to leave their homes and go up to the mountains to become bandits, they were all contented residents of the two empires. They never thought that one day they would have to confront the regular armies of the empire, and this would be a one-on-one battle.
With more than a thousand people fighting against 80,000 people, how do you fight such a battle?!
No matter how much they admire their boss, they just hope to hold on to their stronghold, which is the best outcome.
Who would have thought that under their boss's arrangements, those soldiers of the empire would be as vulnerable as their boss said and would collapse at the first touch?!
But no matter how amazing the boss was, he never expected that when the overall situation was decided, there would be an unexpected situation like Miss Elian being shot by an arrow.
"Kill the village! Kill the village for me!" The one-eyed dragon man remembered the boss's roaring at the top of his lungs, and his back could not help but feel numb, as if he had seen the words their boss said through gritted teeth: "Kill.
In addition to all the moving things in that village, if something happens to my Elian, I want all the creatures in the two empires to bury her with her!"
If the boss says you want to massacre the village, then massacre the village!
The one-eyed man stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. This was a habit he had developed after killing countless people over the years, as if he could already feel the strong taste of blood on his lips.
You have become a horse thief. Do you still think that after you die, you can go to heaven and serve the Lord God?
If you want to help the officers and soldiers, we are what you call tough bandits, so there is nothing to show mercy to!
Kill! Kill quickly!
The big one-eyed man was thinking wildly in his mind and urged the horse on his crotch to go a little faster.
It's almost dawn.
In the distance, you can already see the vague outline of the town!
Suddenly, almost all the bandits, led by the one-eyed man, suddenly reined in their reins at the same time, and a chaotic sound of horses neighing was particularly loud in the early morning.
The one-eyed dragon man widened his only remaining eye, blinked vigorously, and then grabbed the guy next to him in disbelief and asked: "Am I right? Did you see it?! Then
