The gangsters didn't even have time to scream before they disappeared into ashes.
This scene caused the wailing woman's voice a few meters away to stop abruptly and look at Lin Ze with wide eyes.
The situation here soon attracted the attention of the gangsters who were wreaking havoc in the village. Immediately, a dozen people rushed out with a roar, waving their weapons and charging towards Lin Ze fiercely.
Lin Ze raised his brows, but he didn't see any movement. The two gangsters who were rushing forward spontaneously ignited out of thin air before they could get closer. When they were hit by their companions who couldn't stop behind them, they instantly turned into countless flying ash and disappeared in the wind.
Without exception, the gangsters who followed them turned into torches one after another, and soon they were all wiped out, leaving only black ash on the ground.
Tsk! Tsk!
Lin Ze raised his palm, flexed his five fingers, and the red light condensed on his fingertips, shooting into the village at high speed like a bullet from a barrel. Suddenly, he heard several screams from inside almost at the same time, and soon there was no sound.
As the bandits were eliminated, the shouts of killing in the village quickly died down.
Qingcao Village seemed to encounter this kind of thing frequently. The villagers quickly regained their composure, and numbly began to put out the fire and move the bodies, with a few suppressed sobs occasionally heard.
The woman near the village entrance looked at Lin Ze with a dull expression. The latter's way of casually killing more than a dozen vicious gangsters made her fall into a dream, and she did not come back to her senses for a long time.
It wasn't until villagers came to move the man's body that she woke up as if from a dream and started crying, but did not stop others from moving the body.
"Sir, on behalf of Qingcao Village, I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace!"
The village chief covered his arms and walked up to Lin Ze and said gratefully.
Lin Ze noticed that there was blood flowing out from between his fingers, which was obviously injured in the fight just now.
"Who are these people?"
"It should be the wandering bandits." The village chief sighed.
"Does this happen often?"
"It always happens three or four times a year. This world is not peaceful, and we are all used to it." The village chief replied numbly, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "It's just that in the past, bandits only robbed money and did not kill people.
At most, a few women were robbed, and there has never been such a mass killing as today."
"The bandits are so rampant, but the ruler here doesn't care?" Lin Ze asked.
"Are you talking about the Viscount of Massai? Alas, the Viscount doesn't care about the lives of poor people like us. His army only protects the safety of the city of Massai, and ignores the villages outside, leaving us to fend for ourselves.
"
Lin Ze nodded lightly. It looked a bit like Europe in the Middle Ages. The nobles had the power to rule and had their own army.
Suddenly, his expression changed and he asked, "Is there a church in Masai City?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief glanced at Lin Ze in surprise, nodded and said: "Of course, sir, all cities are bathed in the protection and glory of the God of Judgment, and there are church branches in each city."
The God of Judgment?
The thoughtful look in Lin Ze's eyes flashed away.
After discovering that this world was very similar to medieval Europe, he had an idea and thought about whether there would be a church. Unexpectedly, there was indeed one, but the god he believed in became the God of Judgment.
"What does this so-called God of Judgment have to do with the Angry Sin Descendants?" Lin Ze's thoughts were racing, and he quickly had a calculation in his mind.
It seems like I have to go to Masai City for a trip.
At this time, a dull rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance. Lin Ze followed the sound and saw countless figures approaching Qingcao Village at great speed.
After taking a closer look, I realized that the figures were soldiers wearing armor and well-armed, riding strong horses, galloping towards them menacingly.
"Yes, they are the city guards of Masai City. Why are they here?"
When his eyes fell on the galloping army, the village chief couldn't help but exclaimed.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, just now he was thinking of going to Masai City, and the next second the army from Masai City arrived. What a coincidence.
etc.
His expression suddenly changed, and he glanced at the corpses of bandits on the ground. Then he saw that all the soldiers, without exception, had sneers on their lips, and suddenly he felt enlightened.
"It seems like it's not a coincidence, but it's the oriole's arrival." He whispered to himself.
"Sir, what did you say?" The village chief asked confusedly as he couldn't understand what Lin Ze was saying.
However, before Lin Ze could answer, the army was already galloping forward. The leader was a man with a thin face and a somewhat pale face, who looked to be in his thirties. His narrow eyes scanned the messy scene in the village, and his eyes flickered.
, shouted in a deep voice: "What happened here?"
The village chief hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and replied tremblingly: "Sir, a group of bandits just attacked our village. Fortunately, Mr. Lin Ze happened to pass by and killed the bandits and saved us."
"oh?"
The man squinted his eyes slightly and looked Lin Ze up and down. His eyes focused on the linen clothes and pants of the latter for a moment. Then he showed a fleeting look of disdain, withdrew his eyes and ignored him, and turned to an adjutant next to him.
He winked.
The adjutant immediately understood, dismounted and rushed into the village with two soldiers. He searched the village with the fearful eyes of the villagers, and then greedily took a look at the belongings that had been piled up in the open space by the bandits before they had time to collect them. Then he turned around.
Returning to the man, he whispered: "Master Dani, none of the bandits survived."
After a pause, he took another step forward and whispered a few words beside Dani.
Dani showed an imperceptible look of pride on his face, turned to look at the village chief, and said calmly: "These bandits are heinous people. Even if they are dead, our bodies must be taken back for detailed investigation. After the crime is identified,
Then show your head to the public."
"It should, it should." The village chief swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"We also need to take away the stolen goods and register them and return them to the public."
"Stolen goods? Sir, how can there be any stolen goods in our village?" The village chief was stunned.
"It's just the pile in the open space in the center of the village."
"Sir, sir, that was what the bandits just robbed from the village."
Dani interrupted the village chief unceremoniously, staring at him with his narrow eyes like a poisonous snake, and said coldly: "Can you prove that all those things belong to your village?"
The village chief opened his mouth but was speechless.
"In this case, of course we have to take it back and investigate it carefully. Don't worry, after the investigation is completed, I will send back the things that belong to your village."
The village chief lowered his head in frustration. Of course he would not believe what Dani said. These noble private soldiers were as greedy as jackals. How could they get back what they put in their pockets?
However, even if they had ten courages, they would not dare to disobey the army. They could only watch helplessly as the soldiers rushed into the village like wolves and tigers, packing and moving away the belongings piled in the open space.
God knows why the army takes so many empty boxes with them when they go out?
"And you, come back with us too!"
After the soldiers finished moving their belongings, Dani suddenly pointed at Lin Ze and said.
