At the feet of the war horse were the heads of his two most powerful knights, but the bodies of the knights were beside the pit.
There was a dent in his chest, and the marks on it were the scars caused by being hit by a giant axe. Blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, but he still stared at the people around the pit without fear.
"Haha, Kawendi, you also have today, so what, do you still dare to provoke me?" Beside the pit, Edward laughed wildly and kept sarcastic.
Today is his proudest day, and he will definitely enjoy it to his fullest.
"Edward, you despicable and shameless traitor, if you dare to kill me, the Earl will not let you go." Cavendi yelled at Edward angrily.
Edward waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, no, I am not the one who killed you, but a shameless thief."
Then, he looked at a man with dark skin and long yellow-white hair next to him and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. When it's done, the benefits will definitely satisfy you. You know, I'm very honest."
People."
"Hmph, look at it."
The scarred man with long hair and five or six of his men gathered around with strange weapons and grinned, preparing to end the life of Baron Cavendi. They were the second most powerful group of thieves in the area.
However, a sudden change occurred.
"Whoosh, whoosh."
Two consecutive three-shot heavy arrows whizzed in, and the four thieves fell down in response.
Li Feng, wearing a mask, rushed out from the hillside on horseback like a murderous god, brandishing his spear. In less than half an hour, all the defenseless thieves were killed.
Baron Edward turned around to reorganize the attack, but saw Kawendi, who was waiting for death in the pit with her eyes closed, being pulled up and walked away. He angrily kept greeting the mother of the thieves.
"Mr. Knight, you must be a warrior sent by the merciful Lord to save me. Follow me back to Dialand. I must thank you very much." After getting out of danger, Cavendi gave Li Feng a big hug, warmly
said.
Li Feng said with a stuck voice: "Sir Cavendi, I am not a knight, I am a farmer."
"Well, pariah, that's such a shame."
Kawendi hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, follow me back to Dialand. I can give you 50 more acres of fertile land and 30 talents of wheat flour. This is a great gift."
"Haha, no need."
Li Feng replied coldly, turned around and left. Although he had expected it, he was still a little disappointed.
Sure enough, this group of nobles could not change their deep-seated contempt for farmers.
After returning to the territory, Cavendi vowed to make Edward pay a heavy price, so the matter was brought to their immediate superior, Earl Devinsey.
Count Devensi used his advanced art of making mud to engage in a one-on-one duel between knights, operating behind the scenes. Baron Cavendi won with a score of 3:2 and received a compensation of 500 gold coins from Luke.
In addition, Edward did not abide by the rules of the nobility and actually colluded with thieves to harm Baron Cavendi. His crime was unforgivable. He was deprived of his status as a lord and sent to a royal prison to serve his sentence. Luke was inherited by his eldest son Garcia and paid 1,000 gold coins to Dialing.
At this point, the war is completely over.
Cavendi lay down and rested on the hospital bed, and the power of the territory was handed over to his eldest son Thomas.
Thomas lived up to expectations and used the 1,500 gold coins he received from Luke to expand the team of knights to more than 30 people. The strength under his command had far exceeded the normal range of the lord, and he was directly chasing the direct army of Earl Devensi.
In the final analysis, this is a game between nobles and has little to do with farmers like Li Feng. The role of farmers is to promote a chilling atmosphere on the battlefield, and by the way, contribute heads to the knights on both sides and gain military merit.
In fact, the real danger to the territory is the thieves active in the surrounding areas.
As for Li Feng, no one paid attention to him and disappeared for a while. Since he had not made any meritorious service, he naturally received no reward.
In the evening, he simply dressed up and restored himself to the appearance of a one-armed farmer, and his life returned to normal.
Two or three months after the Elk War, a group of more powerful thieves appeared around Dialand. They were very different from the thieves in the past. They were no longer reckless, but were proficient in all kinds of traps and poisons, and knew how to commit crimes in groups.
rules.
What's even more puzzling is that they seem to especially like to rob the direct property of lords and merchants, and are not interested in poor farmers. This greatly angers Lord Kawendi.
Led by Thomas, with more than 30 knights and more than a thousand people, the largest encirclement and suppression force in the history of Dia Territory rushed towards the mountains and forests surrounding the territory.
After paying the price of more than fifty casualties, the thieves were finally driven out of the territory and more than ten of them were killed.
During this siege, one of the thieves was unlucky enough to be hit by an arrow from Thomas in the thigh. Because he failed to catch up with the fleeing army, he was abandoned by his companions and hid in the bushes in a ravine.
By chance, Li Feng found him by following the blood trail.
Li Feng moved him to a hidden cave, treated his wounds urgently, fed him some cheese and dried meat, and searched for nearby herbs to heal his wounds.
It took more than ten days to save his life.
"My name is Roger. Thank you for saving me, a thief. I can give you a share of the things I steal in the future."
Li Feng shook his head: "I didn't save you for any benefit. If that were the case, wouldn't it be better for me to chop off your head and offer it to Baron Cavendi of Dialand in exchange for 50 gold coins?"
"If you don't want benefits, what do you want?"
"Business, I want to make a deal with you."
"Buy or sell?"
For the first time, this man in his thirties, with brown eyes and yellow hair, who looked like a barbarian from the west, had doubts about his life experience of traveling all over the country for so many years.
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man in front of him could have easily pushed him to the ground and beaten him, even if he didn't kill him to collect the reward, but now he actually wanted to do business with a thief like him.
"I'm just a thief. This is not a good profession. When my head is worth more than 500 gold coins on the wanted list, I even have to be careful about the companions around me. People like me can't do business with you at all. I have no money and no goods.
Everything depends on robbing or stealing."
Roger shook his head and refused.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Sometimes buying and selling requires money and goods, and there are other ways to do it. You take me to find your boss first. I need to talk to him."
Roger did not refuse Li Feng's proposal. The young man in front of him always gave him a very reliable feeling.
Among the companions he knew, there were those who stabbed brothers twice for 100 gold coins, and some who drew swords on prostitutes, but no one had ever taken such good care of a strange thief as Li Feng until he recovered.
Soon, Roger led Li Feng to their lair, a mountainside platform that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
