About ten minutes after the villagers of Meiyang Village evacuated the village, an army of about 300 people came from the direction of Meili River. The flag on the army was the flag of the lord of Jimmy Town.
"It's really here!" Simya was lying on the hillside less than a hundred meters away from the village. The position was very good, and he could have a panoramic view of the village.
"Dad, look, what are they planning to do?" Landol, a sharp-eyed man, suddenly pointed to an open space outside Meiyang Village and asked in surprise.
Simya turned his head and looked, his expression slightly changed.
The soldiers from Jimmy Town actually set up tents there, and if you look carefully at the soldiers in the village, they are already demolishing the houses, but unlike before, the dismantled wooden boards and wood were not burned, but were sorted and collected.
"What are they going to do?" Simya said worriedly.
"Do they want to settle down permanently?" Landol asked in surprise.
Simya picked up Landol and ran back. It was obvious that there were some smart people in Jimmy Town. They noticed the hill here at a glance, the highest place within dozens of miles.
If a security sentry tower is built above, it can monitor a place with a radius of more than ten miles. As long as you are not a fool, you will never let this place go.
As soon as Simya and his son left, an infantry squad from the Mero Army escorted the two women on their way to Meiyang Village.
William is a native of Wood Village. After the whole village moved to Mero Town, he took the initiative to join the army and became a member of the Mero Army. After half a year of training and his outstanding performance in the battle with the Armored Bandits, he was reorganized into the new army organization.
Fortunately, he became a junior officer and the squad leader of the ninth squad.
His daily hard training and cultivation also made him a junior swordsman. This time he was ordered to escort the girl who was robbed by the Kaimen bandits home.
He still clearly remembers what the lord said before they set off.
"Every Merlot is his brother. As a lord, my greatest wish is to make every Merlot happy."
William is very happy now, earning a high salary in Merlo Town and accepting the admiration of the residents.
Therefore, he kept every word and every task of the lord in mind.
Mei Ni is a native of Meiyang Village. She was kidnapped by the Garros bandits three years ago when she was only twelve years old. She never thought she would be able to return home in her lifetime.
Her current name was given to her by the town order of Merlo Town. Essien may have considered Mei from Merlo Town, and Mei Ni also regarded Mei from Meiyang Village.
She likes this name very much.
In a poor and remote village like Meiyang Village, children do not have a name before they are underage, and they do not even have a surname. Only when the child reaches adulthood, the parents will ask the most educated person in the village to choose the name.
name.
Mei Ni's former nickname was Erya.
Going back with Minnie was Annie, the daughter-in-law from the next door family in the same village. She was kidnapped two years later than Minnie. Unfortunately, because she was an adult, she had been raped by the bandits, so Annie was in a different situation along the way.
A state of tension and fear.
"Don't worry! Sister Anne, your family will be very happy to know that we are home." Minnie comforted her in a soft voice.
The two of them often whispered to each other along the way, not even daring to take a breath for fear of causing dissatisfaction to the soldier escorting them.
"Yeah!" Anne could only nod. She wanted to say: "You don't know anything."
But considering that Minnie is still just an adult.
In Xinuo Continent, anyone who is over fifteen years old is considered an adult.
"Stop!" shouted softly, and a team of about twenty people suddenly rushed out.
This group of people wore uniform military uniforms. Although the armor on their bodies was very crude, the weapons in their hands were standard weapons.
"This kind of dress should be the lord's militia." When the other party appeared, William had already drawn his sword and protected the two women behind him.
"Whose army are you from? Why did you appear in our territory?" William did not show any timidity because the number was only half that of the other party, and shouted loudly.
When William shouted, the players around him quickly formed a defensive formation.
Compared with the people who shouted at the beginning, they had the upper hand and had not even opened the encirclement formation. The fighting quality of the two was very high.
"Our troops under Baron Jimmy, what are your intentions in approaching the baron's territory?" The captain of Jimmy's army felt a little guilty when he saw that the other soldiers were well-equipped, so he could only talk, hoping to scare the opponent away.
William frowned subconsciously, turned to look at Minnie and asked: "Is the territory of Baron Jimmy in front of you? Who is this Baron Jimmy?"
The fact that Minnie was able to stay in the Garros bandit group for three years and still remain intact is enough to prove her shrewdness.
"Baron Jimmy is the lord of the Billy area. Our village is just across the Meili River from Jimmy Town. This Baron Jimmy must have crossed the border." Minnie shouted loudly.
After hearing Minnie's words, William was immediately furious.
"Bold! You actually dare to invade our territory in the Merlot region, you should be killed!" William shouted angrily, and the round small arm shield hanging around his waist suddenly bounced up and fixed on his left arm.
The other soldiers of the Merlot Army also quickly entered a fighting state, using William as the offensive arrow, and launched a charge against the dispersed Jimmy Army.
As the saying goes, people don't talk much.
When William rushed to the leader of Jimmy's army, the other party reacted and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
Then his head was cut off by William's sword, and other Merlot soldiers also charged like wolves and tigers.
Facing an enemy that was twice their own size, the soldiers of the Merlot Army showed bravery and fearlessness as well as their usual training. However, a single charge overwhelmed a squad of about twenty people. I originally thought that what followed would be a melee.
In the end, who would have thought that the soldiers of the Jimmy Army turned around and ran away. The movement and speed of their escape were clean and neat, and they obviously did it frequently. Unfortunately, what they encountered was the soldiers of the Mero Army who were well-trained and extremely physically fit.
All were beheaded on the spot.
After all, your physical fitness is there. Even if you want to escape, you have to outrun them. Running twenty kilometers every day with all the equipment is no joke.
William was also confused. Did he win like this?
The enemy is too inexperienced, even worse than the Armored Bandit Group?
Minnie jumped up for joy, rushed to the body and started collecting the trophies. She was not at all frightened by the bloody scene in front of her.
"Little girl, aren't you afraid?" Veteran Duru wiped the blood off the sword with the corpse's clothes and asked curiously.
"Don't be afraid. In the past, when we were in the village, every time we went out to rob, we were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Those who picked up little things would not even have food to eat when they returned home."
