Chapter 50

Despite the great failure, there was no loss or anger on Victor Lee Williams' face. He was wearing a regular dress and focused on a hanging ancient painting and savoring it carefully.

This painting should be traced back to the Magic Empire. It seems that the magicians of the Magic Empire are not all a group of artistic idiots, but some people can understand the beauty of art.

Your Excellency, we should prepare for war now... Why do we still have everything...

Hush, you need to be quiet when appreciating artworks

Victor turned his head and looked at Rowan Cotton, and sneered when he saw his face. Rowan was a responsible person, so he couldn't understand some things.

From the moment you were defeated, I had lost the possibility of unifying the continent, and it can even be said that I am finished

I'm guilty...

Luo Wen was ashamed when he heard this. Victor handed over a million troops to his hands, but he failed and failed the monarch's trust.

Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. You don’t have to live in guilt all the time. If you want to become the ruler of the mainland, in addition to personal efforts, you also need the blessing of luck. Is the injury a healing?

As the first military member of the Victor faction, Rowan has the best treatment and conditions, but it seems that he will not be able to heal if he is injured.

Ellino's fighting spirit is different from ordinary fighting spirit. He entered his body through the wound, just like a gangrene with bones, and it took a lot of effort to clean it up. Even if others couldn't help, he could only rely on himself.

Already ready

Really? Judging from your face, I think it's better not to force it too much

Victor picked up his pen, dipped it in paint, and began to copy ancient paintings and paintings. Luo Wen could only wait quietly on the side and review the battle.

In Rowan's opinion, he was forced to fight the final battle by Elinor in that battle.

At the beginning, those urban passes were quickly lost, and Luo Wen didn't care much. He didn't expect to rely on those cities and passes to stop the attack of the Orlando faction. Their meaning is to consume local military and manpower. The sufficient strategic depth gave him space and confidence to operate.

Just like a horse racing, rushing to the front race at the beginning may not be strong, but it is likely to be stupid. An excellent start should control the rhythm and sprint at the right time.

But slowly, a large number of second-line troops began to become unstable, and the morale of many troops became extremely low. They did not resist, but were passively slacking off.

After the Orlando faction proposed the policy of liberating slaves, prisoners would no longer be sold to merchants as slaves. Those who resisted fiercely would be punished for hard work, while many surrendered were released directly. Many soldiers were confiscated and their weapons and equipment were released and fled back to exacerbate the instability of the second-line troops. They began to give up resistance. From the earliest fierce resistance, they became open the city gate when they saw the other party's flag, consciously handed over the weapons supplies, and then went home. Those who were too much more likely to kill their superiors, because the superiors and nobles wanted them to fight.

Things have developed to this point and have been out of Rowan's control. Rowan was waiting for Ellino to be exhausted on one defense after another and then eliminated him with thunder. He assembled such a huge army to achieve his merits and then directly eliminate the Orlando faction.

As a result, Rowan sought Elino everywhere to fight, while Elino calmly accepted surrender everywhere to obtain more supplies. Even because Elino didn't care about one city and one place, he didn't send people to defend or take over those cities and threw them there. Rowan could get a lot of reports every day and said that he was lost, and he could get a lot of reports every day. At first, Rowan didn't know the details, but he really thought that Elino had divided his troops to defend, so that he could quickly consume his troops. After knowing the actual situation, he knew how fucked those documents that performed meritoriously were. He directly dealt with a group of officers and nobles.

The reason for dealing with these nobles and officers is not their false claims of military achievements to themselves. If they just false claims of military achievements, it would be fine. Considering nepotism and some unspoken rules in the officialdom, Luo Wen planned to turn a blind eye.

These officers and nobles began to kill the surrenders in order to do more realistically or to shock these troops.

Some of them are just killing a few of them, but they are fine, scaring those soldiers

Some people directly arrested the city's garrison troops and even ordinary people to kill them by drawing lots in order to make their achievements. At most, there were five draws and one kill.

Those soldiers who stayed in the local area and did not escape were all locals!

The Orlando faction came and did not kill people, set fire, or even took supplies, and were left in the square and allowed the citizens to take them. When their own rulers came back, they not only killed people, but also killed them. The result can be imagined that many places surrendered and directly killed local nobles, and then the civilians fled to the control of the Orlando faction with their families.

When Rowan finally dispatched troops to stop Ellino and planned to fight him to a decisive battle, the troops he could mobilize were even less than the opponent. The decisive battle here was still beneficial to Rowan, and he surrounded and isolated the opponent's main force. Although the number of people was smaller than that of the opponent, the Night Wind Knights were in a state of rest and the size of the Knights was three times that of the troops belonging to Ellino.

As Luo Wen expected, the Knights' Order was stronger, and the general troops he chose were also elite, well equipped and highly morale. Although the Orlando faction was very strong and it was indeed a tough guy, it was only a matter of time before his reinforcements could reach the battlefield.

The variable still lies with Elino. Although I know that Elino has a dragon as a brave man and has strong combat strength, I need to deal with it carefully, but I didn't expect to be so strong

I made enough preparations, for example, a group of siege crossbows were arranged around me, and several high-level archers were arranged. The dragon was shot down after only releasing the dragon's breath once, and it was unable to approach me.

I thought the morale of the other party would be depressed because of this matter. The dragon fell on the front line. The knights of the Orlando faction did not feel confused, but instead sacrificed their lives to protect the dragon. This made Rowan make a wrong judgment. He thought that Elinor must be on the dragon, and he might have suffered some injuries after falling down. After all, the battlefield is too big, and it takes a lot of time to get the exact news, and the fighter plane is fleeting. At this moment, Rowan ordered the knights to assault and the entire army pressed on it. Later, it was proved that this was a wrong decision.

Elino is indeed on that dragon, but the mage of the Orlando faction released the invisibility spell and the wind wing spell for Elino. Airborne may not require the dragon to really fly to his head. The information he received in the past made him think inertially. As long as he defends the dragon at a certain distance, he will be safe.

Ellino still fell from the sky. Despite this, he arranged a large number of guards around him and several ninth-level strong men, but he was still caught off guard.

The destructive power of the Holy Sword is so strong that even the ninth-level strong men dare not fight head-on. Even if the sword and armor are magical items, they are still like a thin piece of drawing paper when facing the Holy Sword. As long as the paper cutter is gently scratched, it will be torn apart.

As the chief coach of the Orlando faction, Ellino seems to have no fear of death at all. He doesn't seem to care about those things, and his subordinates, including his own performance, are hard to describe.

It was during this chaotic period that Orlando factions pushed the magical legion on standby to the battlefield. The battle was so fierce that they were left behind without moving, just waiting for the opportunity.

For a long time, the Orlando faction magical legion will set up magic circles before attacking, which will take at least half a day. This has always been the case, which gives Rowan an illusion that the Orlando faction magical legion takes half a day to prepare. In fact, it is not just Rowan. Most people in the entire Victor faction and even the Orlando faction think so. The actual situation is that the magical legion quickly goes to the battlefield and goes to the battlefield. The ultra-long-distance fireball technique and explosive flamesThe military formation that crossed the Orlando faction poured on the head of the Night Wind Knights like rain of fire, interrupting the rhythm of the Knights' charge and cutting off the retreat of the vanguard troops who had been in a melee. The Knights, which had always been pampered, did not have the mad dog-like spirit of the Orlando faction. Even if the forwards completely destroyed the number of subsequent knights, it was far beyond the opponent. It was not impossible to fight, but the Night Wind Knights, whose attack was frustrated, could no longer organize a decent attack and were beaten by the opponent.

There is no shortage of reasons, and the horse can't rush, but Luo Wen himself understood very clearly that his subordinates dared not fight to the death, and were defeated by the opponent who dared to fight even more.

After the Knights began to show a downward trend, the morale of the second-line troops quickly collapsed, and the balance of victory fell to the other side in an instant.

The army was defeated, and a large number of troops retreated directly before they even entered the battle, or surrendered with weapons. Hearing that his defeat, the surrounding troops retreated or surrendered one after another, countless cities opened their doors to raise white flags, and Luo Wen could not even collect the remaining troops and could only escape. The five provinces turned against each other, and he could be said to be embarrassed and thrown home.

I deserve to die

Whenever Luo Wen feels extremely guilty when he thinks of this

Thousands of death?

Victor raised his head, looked at Rowan, who was kneeling on one knee, and shook his head

This person is very simple to die. It is a little more decent and poisonous, and a little more heroic, and a knife is pulled out of his neck. He dies in an instant. It is not easy to find a subordinate who can be trusted and capable. It is even more difficult to find a subordinate who can be trusted and capable. It is a gift from the gods. It is not easy to trust each other since you were young. I can't find someone to replace you, especially at this time, so you'd better cheer up.

Luo Wen stood up now

Sir, but you just said...

Victor sighed

Times have changed... If it is still the same as in the past, I should be the winner, the nobles control the land population, the merchants have money, and I am just a third-rate painter with a little appreciation ability after reading too many works of art. But people like me are really suitable to be an emperor, because they can fool me at will, and I can also be a papermaker, the Willis Empire has been established for so long, the aristocrats are greedy, the officials are corrupt, the army is awkward, and the civilians are barely alive. Who doesn't know that this is just barely alive.So I will continue to maintain it. As long as the royal family is willing to rectify it, the whole country will pull him down and change it to others. So I envy Ophelia. If you want to kill, kill her. The more she kills, the stronger her strength will become stronger. I know your pain. Military generals are afraid of death, civil servants only love money, and they can fight more than they take them. Your opponent is a barbarian who is not afraid of death. With a group of barbarians who are not afraid of death, they shout and beat you to death. So others advise me to hold you accountable and kill you, but I don't

Waving his hand to dispel Rowan's words of thanks to him, Victor continued to focus on painting

You are right, but this matter is not urgent, at least not now, nor is it me, but those who push me to the position will be urgent, when Ophelia starts to start a massacre, they will be more active than us, and then we can start working, and now we are in a hurry, and they will ask me for a lot of things

Victor explained why he was so calm. He pointed to the bottle beside him. Rowan took out the glass and poured the wine and handed it to Victor. Victor took the glass and took a sip without caring.

Only art and wine cannot let down those nobles with the same surname as me. In the past, they would think that they would recommend individuals. Even if they failed to compete for the throne, it would be the matter of that person. If they die, they will die. If they become themselves, they will be the Dragon Master. If they fail, they will be considered as a failure of investment. It is no big deal. A few years of stability will be over. The world will still be the Williams family. As a result, Orlando is gone, and Ophelia is left. If this woman becomes cruel, she will be much crueler than a man. Look at us next door and kill the Williams.The heads of people are rolling and blood flowing. If they have too much power, kill; if they have abnormal movements, kill; if they don’t accept management, kill; if they even applaud, they can be a reason for being killed. Because these relatives are involved, or if they are sitting on the scene, they are forced to go to a dead end and turn over. Naturally, she feels that what she does is reasonable. Whether it is Williams or Dia, the surname is nothing to her. As long as the person who lives in the world is her offspring, everyone treated her as a madman, but now she finds that she is a fool, and she should have killed her directly without regard for her face!

Victor looks calm, but he loses the possibility of becoming the lord of the continent without the possibility of unifying the continent.

Even though that's it, sir, Ophelia won't give us much time to breathe...

Luo Wen thought it would be more appropriate to persuade him again. The Victor faction now has the power to fight, but the huge army does not represent combat power. The Night Wind Knights need to be rebuilt, the Knights and Legions need to be trained, military supplies need to be prepared, and military equipment needs to be built, which requires a lot of time and money, and Xu Fang's cooperation with all parties.

It takes time to convert the land. Her treasury is basically empty. War requires money. I don’t have much ability, but I have money. To be precise, I can mobilize money.

You don't think the rumors that came from the east are true...

Victor laughed and put down his brush

The couple really don’t bother. They also want to pull Orlando out to support the table and pretend that Orlando is still alive. Ophelia is not an idiot. There is no fixed number in the mainland yet, how could she attack her husband? Look at how many idiots jumped out and were killed by her, but that’s fine. The rest should be considered smart people, and they won’t pass on some jokes and come back.

Law and righteousness are always needed...Ophelia is indeed more perverse in doing things, but as you said, she is not an idiot

OK, okay, don't worry about these things anymore. From the recent intelligence analysis, she just had no money, but she didn't want to be idle, so she made a living and threw her unlucky husband to the grassland and continued the war with the life of the grassland people. After all, it is a very troublesome thing to unify the continent. Even if she won a stage of victory, it will take a lot of time to accumulate strength. If she hopes to sit on the throne of the lord of the continent in her lifetime, she must keep whipping her man with a whip. Thinking of this, do you feel better? Compared to that man is very miserable

Victor sipped his mouth and shook his head as he said

That kind of man will play a strong role in the grassland. Small-scale battles pay more attention to personal force. He will fight more easily. Fortunately, the grassland is occupied by Nietzsche, and this will become a good thing. It is really unpredictable. Look at this

A document was handed to Luo Wen, and Luo Wen took it and then read it.

smuggling?

You guess there is any shadow of Ophelia behind this

I don't believe she has killed her like this. The nobles over there dare to smuggle without her knowledge.

Yes, she is short of money, and it is not the kind of lack of a little, but a lot of it. So even though she knew there was something wrong with doing this, she still chose to do it. She bet that her subordinates could be destroyed before they were corrupted by me, and I was also betting that no one could be corrupted. Money, women, art, rights, there is always one that would be suitable. Moreover, smuggling will inevitably involve the navy. The efficiency of smuggling with ships is the highest. Some make money, although I lost, the war is not over yet. I have to go to the field where I am good at. After you recover from the injury, you must first rebuild the Knights and the army. Give up some unimportant places and enter the defensive state.

yes

Victor pinched his beard and couldn't help but say something more

If you feel good, go to the northern military region

After Luo Wen thought about it in his mind, we have always defended in the north to defend against the Nietzsche faction.

I know, this is my mistake. At that time, I focused my energy on the royal family and ignored the grassland, which made Ophelia succeed. We had changed from fighting on both sides to being enemies on all sides. If the grassland was in my hands, Ophelia would have been unable to withstand it was destroyed by me. What I was worried about is that this Duke of Dia went to the grassland not only to defeat the Nietzsche faction.

But according to the information, he brought five hundred knights, and the grassland people were also fighting. The grass on the grassland fought by the Wangting faction and the coexistence faction have grown very well over the years. It takes time for the grassland to be so big, and even if he pacified the grassland, how many troops can he gather to invade the border?

You may have forgotten the orc

Luo Wen felt that this was unlikely, but he was not sure that Elino would not do this. You should know whether you unified the continent or not. Another thing is that if the orcs were allowed to rekindle on the continent, it would be a sinner of human beings.

********************

Elino left Williams City with his guard. He said that this time he was not in a hurry at all, so he was very leisurely all the way. When he saw Pebro who was mixed in the team, Elino was a little curious about what the guy was doing with him, and Ophelia asked Elino to take him with him.

Hey, Pebro

As Elino waved to Pebro, Pebro rushed to Elino's side, but he still had a horse head short.

What are you asking the Duke?

I'm curious why you're following you?

Pebro looked like a little shy big boy, and grabbed his hair a little embarrassedly

Oh, Lord Duke, look, although I am a helping Duchess to command the Royal Knights, after all, I am really a person with little credit and no record of making a difference. I am just a relative who relies on nepotism. So, the Duchess hopes that I can follow you to get some record, at least not that ugly

Although Pebro said this, Elino did not believe what this guy said at all, but he did not mean to continue to ask. He just felt that this guy was definitely not simple. If you can enter the person who was favored by Ophelia, you must have outstanding features. You will know at that time.

It was the same grassland. It felt different from now on. When I first entered the grassland, it was winter. The grassland was covered with heavy snow. It was covered with white areas. There was only one dragon, a ghost and an artificial human beside Elinor. The final departure was equivalent to being driven away by someone.

Time has changed, and now Elino has an identity, a unit of his own, and an empire behind it. Looking at the vast grassland, I couldn't help but feel some emotion.

I have to say that this is a view that cannot be seen in Williams

Look, life is another matter

Logically speaking, it is not appropriate to accept this situation, but Pebro answered. Elino turned his head and looked at Pebro waiting for him to continue speaking. As a nobleman, not his somewhat vulgar subordinate, he must have a reason for doing this.

Lord Duke, please let me lead the way

Tasha was about to say that leading the way was her business and was stared at by Pebro, swallowing her words and lowering her head. Elinor nodded in his eyes.

OK, I'll trouble you if you lead the way

In fact, no one else could see anything about the team changing its route. After all, for the Williams, the grassland is endless grass. How did the road go? God knows, where they are going, and I don’t know. It took half a month to walk. Elino saw a camp from afar. As he got closer, both sides began to feel nervous. The camp was not herders, but knights. For Elino’s guards, the number of knights here far exceeded them. They didn’t know what the team was. They didn’t know what the team was.

And when the other party saw them, they immediately made a warning, and a large number of knights were wearing armor and horses.

This is the army the Duchess has prepared for you

Pebro told the origin of the team under Elino's inquiry eyes

The remnants of the Japanese Knights' Order of Japan

The Japanese Knights' Order of Moxibustion and the grasslanders had been struggling with each other for a long time. The entire Japanese Knights' Order of Moxibustion was finally destroyed on the grassland, and the rest directly surrendered to Ophelia. Now it seems that the Japanese Knights' Order of Moxibustion is not that simple to destroy.

After playing the flag, although the other party sent envoys, they still did not relax their warnings. The armored knights were still wearing armor. They rode on horses and were covering their tents, so they could not directly detect their number.

The two envoys were in groups, one carried the flag, and the other was the envoy. Seeing that Elino had not dismounted, it seemed that they didn't know who Elino was. Pebro signaled himself to negotiate Elino nodded in agreement, so Pebro rode forward.

I should know anyone else.

Lord Pebro, it’s not that we can’t believe you, but we have been here for a long time, and the current situation of the empire is unknown, and you directly bring a knights

This is Duke of Dia, now from the Williams Empire..., it's good to fight Gdr nt, it's all about that. In short, the Duchess of Dia is His Highness Princess Ophelia. The son of Duke Dia was adopted by His Majesty Orlando as his adopted son, and he is the future emperor of the empire.

The envoy looked at Elino and hesitated for a while

Lord Duke, please allow me to make a rude request. Can you prove yourself

Elino pointed to the flag behind him again, and Madi took out Elino's seal, but the other party did not mean to salute Elino, which made Pebro a little unable to get out of Taiwan and rode forward

What proof do you want?

Both flags and seals can be forged. To be honest, the news in this ghost place is not very smooth...

Pebro sighed with his hands on his forehead

Are you stupid in the grassland?

Didn’t you who left us here?

Don’t say it so badly. You are less supply here, and you have a lot of food and drink. If you say that you are not suitable for the local environment and life will definitely be difficult, but it is really bad? Do you want to try the empire? What is the end of you sending you supplies from time to time?

Although the messenger seemed resentful, he could not say anything to refute. Elinor could see that the team was left here for a long time, so they were extremely resentful.

OK, Pebro, sometimes it's easier to deal with problems

Ellino also rode forward, went to the messenger, and glanced at him a few times.

On the grassland, we will use the simplest method to solve the problem in the army. I am an outsider and I want to command you. If you feel dissatisfied, yes, I can beat you until you obey and tell you the people. Whoever doesn’t accept it later will come up and fight. I will take as many as I can. You have the nerve to go up together. I will continue. The rules in the army, if you don’t use weapons or armor, it depends on your fists to solve them. Don’t chat like a grudge here. It’s boring.

The messenger also looked at Ellino, saying that Ellino's figure was not the tall or particularly strong type, and he did not show his fighting spirit for a while and could not see Ellino's level.

Just you?

After saying this, Ellino and the guards behind him all laughed. It seemed that these guys were indeed staying on the grassland for a long time and didn't know Ellino's name.

Yes Yes Yes, just me, Elino Dia, Duke of Williams, I will play with you myself

Don't regret it

Everyone laughed even harder, the messenger was a little unclear.

Don't think that as a duke, we dare not beat you

As long as you can do it

Elino himself laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out. The messenger took the rider away on the horse. Elino wiped his eyes and waved his hand.

Let's go beat

The team continued to move forward amidst the laughter of laughter

The other party also opened the camp gate and removed some of the horse-rejected horses. Some knights lined up to welcome the uninvited guests.

When the messenger came back, he said Elino's words, the current officers in the camp felt that it was hard to describe.

Finally, when the person came, a duke came this time. I thought I had to take us back. I was fucking tired of the smell here! There was a smell of feces everywhere, even women were

Didn’t you have a big fuck with the grassland women last night?

Take us away, you think too much, keeping us here for so long makes us like the grassland people, must be asking us to fight west

It is also possible that based on the information we obtained in the past and some information heard from the supply team, the empire must have entered a full-scale civil war in the past two years, and it is estimated that it is now in a stalemate.

You mean we have to thank our boss so that we have escaped those cruel battles here? Why don't you say we missed those glorious battles and opportunities to get promoted and make money that are enough to be recorded in history?

There are eight or nine out of ten things that are not satisfactory in life. We are suffering here, but we have not lost our lives. Just express our anger and loss. If neither side can get out of Taiwan, we will cut off our supplies, what will we eat?

Go and grab it, are you not used to the life of grassland people?

Where to go, do you think you can find those grassland people by riding a horse? There are tens of thousands of people in total. How can we rob to meet our needs or disperse them? Once we scatter, can we gather together? If we scatter, will we do our own affairs? If we do our own affairs, will we attack each other? Don’t be stupid. Without the empire, we will immediately become a group of bandits.

Can you not think so far? What should we do about the things in front of you? Go and find someone to fight that duke?

Isn't he full of confidence? Maybe he was blown away by the flatterers under his command and couldn't find him.

After a burst of laughter, someone asked questions

According to the supply team, this duke seems to be very famous in the empire, but the supply team itself is also on the border and the news is not very well-informed. I only heard that the duke seemed to have commanded the conquest of Valen and later went to attack the rebel Victor.

So why are you here now? You can't lose? You're really deadly. We don't know anything in this ghost place...

Just don't really hurt, just let him know how powerful we are

It makes sense

After Elino entered the camp, he looked around and found that this place was no longer a pure military camp, but a town on the grassland.

In addition to the knights, there are also a large number of ordinary soldiers. Women. It seems that many people have children here. To be precise, many people here have begun to become grassland people. It seems that Ophelia has had ideas about grassland for a long time, so she has set up a handful of leisure chess here. But this handful of leisure chess has affected tens of thousands of people.

Under Pebro's introduction, Elino met and shook hands with the officers here. After all, this kind of meeting was to shake hands and say a few words. Elino let others know that he was their new superior. As for the people below, they showed their faces in front of the leader. As for whether they could be remembered, that was another matter. At least Elino turned around and forgot the names and faces of these people.

Anyway, it's still early, we've done our business

Lord Duke is very interested...

A group of officers compliments, is it true that the duke is still coming?

So I found a guy with a big, fierce look but not that bad mind

Remind him again and again to act more seriously, it is best to make a win-win situation

You are that duke, right? I advise you not to end up fighting with a rude man like me. If you accidentally hurt you, everyone will not look good. Even if you defeat a soldier like me, you will be covered in sweat and mud...ah?

The strong man was still talking and suddenly felt his eyes blurred, and then his vision was wrong. Why did his eyes look to the sky? After he reacted and fell heavily to the ground, he slowly got up and shook his head. Then he realized that he was thrown out by the duke.

Is the wind-based fighting spirit? Generally speaking, isn’t this kind of internal fighting impossible to use fighting spirit?

According to common sense, if a person has far surpassed other knights in speed, it can basically be considered as a practice of wind-type fighting spirit. After all, fire represents strong destructive power, earth represents super defense, wind represents extraordinary agility, and water is changeable.

Idiot! He has no use of fighting! This guy is so powerful!

The strong are always more sensitive to the perception of Dou Qi. When most people think that Ellino has achieved this speed by using Dou Qi. They have already seen that the duke relies entirely on the power of the body.

Duke, you are not right. You attacked sneakily and used fighting spirit to win, so I don't accept it.

The strong man felt that he was not injured after getting up. He knew that the opponent had to hold back, but generally speaking, men cannot lose by talking.

OK, you attack first this time

The strong man smashed the grass with his fist, then rushed up roaringly. He expected that his first right hook would inevitably avoid it. Since the opponent has the strength, he would accompany him to act. It would not be embarrassing to not be able to defeat the opponent for a few rounds.

As a result, Elino caught his fist directly. Seeing Elino standing there motionless, the strong man hit the uppercut with his left hand and was caught by Elino with his other hand.

This force...Young man, did you forget to have lunch?

Elinor began to exert force, and the strong man felt a severe pain in his hands. He had no doubt that the other party would really have to start his hand. His hands would be broken, and then he only saw the other party shoving his head against his face.

Then Elino cleaned his hair a little and waved his hand

Without any effort, drag it on

Then he glanced around the knights here and patted the dust on his hands.

Does anyone want to try it? It’s not impossible for a person to go together.

Seeing some of the knights below, they were eager to try or dissatisfied, Ellino thought it was not bad, at least they were not here, so he reached out and hooked his fingers towards his team.

Scarlett, depart

arrive

Scarlett didn't know why the Duke called her, but he left the list after calling her.

Did you see that? This guy killed the deputy commander of the Yefeng Knights on the southwest battlefield. He was named Earl. I have always liked to reward me if I have merits. If you can beat me down today, I will also take the title of Earl as the lottery. I still have this right, how about it?

Scarlett is no longer the little girl who was indifferent to fear and was ignorant. She has been stumbled and crawled in the military camp over the years, chopped people on the battlefield, and slept next to the corpse. She has long become a veteran. In addition to fighting in the military camp, the most joyful thing for everyone is fighting, so she immediately entered a state of fire.

Duke, to be honest, this will make me feel a bit unfair. After all, I really cut off the deputy commander of the Night Wind Knights to get to such a position. But considering that they are idle here, there are all children, I guess I can fight a group. I am afraid that no one has the courage to come up to challenge you. Otherwise, you should cancel this bet and let me accept the challenge on your behalf. After all, if they lose, they can also make excuses that they will not hit women, and they dare not use all their strength to women.

Scarlet said this innocently, causing Elino's subordinates to burst into laughter. The knights of the Knights of the past day could not sit still. How could the women on the grassland dare to say that? Someone immediately took off his armor and threw his sword, and wanted to go to the stage to compete with Elino.

Elinor smiled and nodded, saying good

Half an hour later, there were already a bunch of people lying on the ground, and Elino moved his hands, feet and neck.

Not bad, maybe I'm going to lose the energy, is there anyone else coming to try it?

The remnants of the Japanese Knights were beaten to death. Now they knew that this duke was really good at fighting, the kind that was not kidding. Sometimes the army was like this. If it was a commander-in-chief, it would be based on past achievements. For Elino, it depends on whether he could fight. If he defeated everyone, it would be over.

No one dared to neglect this time at this welcoming banquet. During the period when Pebro warmed up and accepted the challenge, he also told Elino's deeds to the knights who were in the intelligence department here. Only then did these people know who they met, and they also began to be excited or anxious. They were excited to follow such a legend. They probably had the opportunity to make achievements. They were also anxious that they would not be able to go back to Williams for a while.

What's going on here? What's wrong with the people here? I haven't seen a female knight before?

Scarlett was a little dissatisfied with the way others looked at her. No matter what, she was an earl. Although there was a fire in front of her, what about the people here?

The living environment here is harsh, and cattle and sheep often die due to a plague or a blizzard. There is not enough food. When living in the grassland, men have to spend more effort to graz, hunt, fight against nature, and fight against the same kind. The responsibility of women is to serve and take care of men as much as possible and assist men. In this way, women here will not dare to quarrel with men like Williams' women. As long as they can eat enough every day, they will be very happy, they are almost obedient to men, and have relatively strong ability to bear it. They have learned a lot of skills to serve men since childhood. These people have been here for a long time, so they have gradually become accustomed to the grassland.

Tasha explained on the side that some knights of Elino's Knights learned about Tasha's deeds through some channels.

You're also a prairie

That's right, I've been a female slave to Ms. Heidi for a long time. Of course, the empire doesn't want to talk about female slaves anymore, and the servants are almost the same.

Seeing that Tasha seemed to care about her dark history at all, some knights also found it boring.

Then how many women can the men here look for?

How is it possible

Tasha waved her hand

There are rules for grasslands. Once a man accepts a woman, he has to support the other person. As long as the man is still alive, he must give half of the food to the woman. Even if she has lost her ability to work and fertility, the grassland women are much more compliant than those in the empire. But similarly, the grassland women are more admirable. They will surround a strong man. On the grassland, you can know how much strength a man has. After all, it is not easy to support yourself here, and it is even more difficult to support a group of people.

After Tasha said that, the knights have a general understanding of the grassland.

Ah, by the way, if the woman here wants to have a one-night stand with you, it's fine, but before going to bed, you must ask whether it's a one-night stand or be your woman, there is a difference here

When it comes to this, except Scarlett, other knights are interested.

Tell me in detail!

Anyway, it is the wisdom left by our ancestors. That is to say, if a tribe does not intermarry with other tribes, it will become weaker and weaker, and the children born will become worse and worse. Sometimes, when people in the grassland meet outsiders or passers-by, they will let their daughters or even their wives spend the night with each other. If they are pregnant, they will be born as their own children. Strong people like you are particularly popular. It is said that the children born will become stronger and stronger. So if you are invited to have a one-night stand, you can go there with confidence and boldness, as long as you don’t mind.

Many knights immediately showed a eager look, conveying their eyes to each other. How can women get on for free? Especially those with husbands, they don’t care about their wives sleeping with other men, and even raising children. It’s amazing.

But! You must make it clear whether it is a one-night stand or a woman who likes you. Follow you as your wife. The women here are indeed very gentle, can serve good men, and can please men, but they are also as cunning as female wolves. If you accidentally, you will be entangled by women in the grassland. If you don’t admit it, I’m embarrassed. Some accidents are easy to happen on the grassland, such as being eaten by wolves in the wild, or being thieves, or being trapped in a swamp, or not adapting to the land and the land, and they die. In short, the grassland is a place where you can lose your life. Even if you are knights, you must be vigilant. All this is the advice I can give you.

Some knights immediately gave up the idea of ​​finding women after all, if they were really entangled with such women, wouldn’t they cause trouble for themselves? Of course, others laughed at these people and called them cowards.

Elino convened his subordinates and officers from the remnants of the Japanese Knights' Order to have a meeting. After all, some things cannot be left without an explanation.

Speaking of which, thank you for your hard work

We're just stationed here, no hard work

Of course, an officer representative came out to reply, and this answer was not humble or arrogant.

Madi helped Elino set up a map. Most of the maps about the grassland are very sloppy and can only be seen as a schematic diagram.

After all, most grassland people rely on experience to live by themselves. A few grassland people with advanced consciousness are powerless in the face of the huge grassland, so it is difficult to count its true size.

But the Magic Empire did it. Elino, who has the most complete collection of books in the Magic Empire, could naturally come up with a relatively detailed grassland map, which made the officers sigh that the grassland was so huge.

I came here to help the allies of the grassland people. After all, they have complained to the empire many times and were beaten by the Nietzsche faction and couldn't raise their heads. I didn't know you were here before I came over. I only knew you were there after entering the grassland. I think I would be much more relaxed. After all, we can only be considered an alliance with the grassland people, not a direct subordinate relationship. Maybe we can mobilize some troops, but we will never use it very easily. Of course, the premise is that this team listens to me.

Ellino didn't talk nonsense when he came up, and he seized power very directly. The military supplies here were provided by the Williams Empire, and his combat effectiveness was not as good as his own guards. He was in a relatively awkward position. As long as these people even thought they were Williams, they would not be afraid that they would disagree if they wanted to go back to Williams.

In comparison, Elino's eyes were staring at Pebro, and Pebro immediately stood up when he saw this.

As a member of the empire, I naturally obeyed the orders of the Duke.

Well, from now on, the Japanese Knights will completely disappear. Do you have any opinions on the incorporation into my guard?

Seeing that the biggest official you know is not afraid to give a single fart in front of Elino, the remaining officers and knights naturally dare not have any opinions. After all, others are older than you in terms of titles, higher than you in terms of official positions, and more powerful than you in terms of combat power. Others are almost as regent as their background. Even if they have any opinions, what can you object to them?

After joining my guard, I need to fight tough battles. After all, I rely on military merits. You should be mentally prepared. Recently, I have reorganized the personnel. If you really can't fight for some reason, just retire. Ordinary soldiers who have already started a family and let them retire. The Empire has the idea of ​​building a multi-party market here. In the future, the Empire, grassland people, dwarves, elves, orcs can all go to and from places where the trade is free. Those who have retired will be placed there.

This treatment can be said to have forced many people to immigrate to the grassland, but it also prevented some people from deliberately choosing to retire from the army and unwilling to fight for the empire again. After all, they have been in vain for the imperial grain of the empire for so many years.

Duke, I have something to say. That's it. Many people are afraid that they will abandon their wives and children. After all, you cannot expect ordinary soldiers to have a lot of moral honor. At the beginning, they were just greedy for women and did not think about taking responsibility. Now they took the opportunity to get rid of their burdens or something... Will it lead to some administrative problems and troubles?

Elinor also sat down and thought, it was indeed a problem. After all, you can't tell whether a person really wants to get rid of his burden, or wants to make achievements, or wants to go home.

The grassland is not a very stable place. Generally, women will have a hard time living if they lose men. If they push them directly to the grassland, it is equivalent to letting them die. In the market, they can at least have a place to settle down, but they can't say how well they can live...

Take one step at a time and make some compensation for them.

Lord Duke, I have to remind you that if there are many people, it may be necessary to have a large budget.

Let these soldiers go out by themselves. Originally, the soldiers here were to give some bounties to compensate their own women and children. If they don’t raise them, they still expect the Empire to raise them? Death for the Empire was what the Empire should do. I ate the imperial grain for several years and did nothing. Don’t even think about it.

With the arrival of Elino, the remnants of the Japanese Knights were completely reorganized and became the new guard of Elino. The ordinary soldiers stayed on the grassland for a few years and were already very skilled cavalry. The messenger rode horses and flags and scattered out. After all, it was impossible for this camp to contain everyone, and there were many gathering points around.

Williams who are used to being tied to the land generally do not want to be too far away from home. Most Williams rural people go the farthest place they go is probably the town. You can say that you have seen the world when you go to the city.

The grassland people have no resistance to migration. With the order, women began to clean up the living utensils in the tent, and men started to clean up the tent. Because there are many moving things, horses may not be able to pull them, so they usually choose ox carts, and bring all the things they can carry, and even the wooden fences that form the camp will not give up. This is the grassland people.

The team dragged for a long time. Elino looked back from the front of the team and saw that the team stretched to the horizon. The team was not moving fast, and Elino was not in a hurry either.

As the team walked, they saw a dense forest. This was a miracle on the grassland, but a sudden forest appeared.

At this time, Elino looked at Fara, who had been in the team but had a hood and didn't communicate with others very much.

Fara nodded slightly when he saw Ellino's eyes. Elino also understood it. This is the natural magic of the elves. Elino had used it before.

Farae took the lead in riding out of the line and ran towards the forest. Elino also ordered the team to stop moving forward at the right time. After a while, a team of elves left the forest and came towards the team. The elves could communicate with animals, so their horses could sit on the horse's back and gallop on the back without a saddle. Moreover, the horses could slow down uniformly when they arrived in front of the team, and then stopped collectively, which was comparable to the best rider.

Then an old man who looked long beard and wished he could hang his knees left alone and saluted Elino first.

The high priest ordered me to come and help Farah Chuicao

Seeing Ellino opening his mouth and talking, the old man raised his hand and stopped Ellino like a superior.

I know you are a nobleman in humans, with great power and strong strength... Well, very strong, but as a druid, I feel very uncomfortable when I see the trees I planted are cut down by you. If it is in our forest, I will kill you with the power of nature. Here, I can only watch you destroy our forest and then assist you, so there is no need to greet me, and I don’t want to tell you my name. After the matter here, I will return to the forest. We don’t have a chance to see you again.

In the stunned silence of Elino, the old druid left with his disciples, who should be his, leaving Elino alone in the wind.

Grand Duke, do you want it?

Pebro made a gesture of slitting his throat, Elinor was stunned for a while and then shook his head

I haven't been scolded by someone for a long time... Forget it, it's not the time to have a conflict with the elves. I have enough wood. In addition, I have studied it with the mages on the way. It's not impossible to harden the earth with magic, and it's not impossible to create a city!

Are the cities on the grasslands? Have you ever thought of a name?

Elino waved to Tasha

Is there any statement about this place?

Legend has it that our ancestors of the grassland people raised horses here and then flourished.

Elino is not a cultural person after all, so he is too lazy to make a fuss about a name.

A place where horses are prosperous? Then it's called Ma Xing

Pebro was originally hoping to flatter Elino to name it by himself, but Elino said it casually, and had to applaud and compliment it.

The name of the Lord is suitable for the situation. It is very close to the empire, the outer periphery of the grassland, and it is also very close to the forest of the elves. With a river passing through it, it is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land that will become a commercial center in the future. Now it can only be called Maxingji, and it will become Maxing Town in the future, and it may eventually become Maxingcheng, Maxing Province...

Pebro had already reminded Elino that this place would be an important place in the future. Elino didn't understand it, just nodded.

Yes

This person is different from others. Some people can't wait to name it by their own name, just like many provinces are named after the last name of a certain family.

The Duke of Elino didn't care about this matter at all. Until now, no province in the empire has been renamed Dia. Even the land of the Eastern Kingdoms Alliance he himself captured can be regarded as his fiefdom. Until now, he has no desire to name or rule.

Pebro could only sigh in his heart. How could he deal with this boss who could not even flatter him?

For civil engineering, Elino and the Knights basically only know how to build military camps, but commercial cities and fortresses are different. Fortunately, there is Pebro. Elino will find that this guy may be considered versatile, but if you have specialized, this guy seems to have nothing specialized.

With my level, I can only do one early stage. How to develop this place in the future is a matter for future generations.

It only takes one early stage, we didn't come here to build a city

Elino looked at the drawings drawn by Pebro and agreed, leaving the things he was not good at to those who were relatively good at

In the next few days, the knights and soldiers arranged the task of cutting trees every day. Some carpenters could order woodworking to process the wood. The mages began to solidify the ground and turn the grass into rocks.

When the market had a rough framework and established some temporary residences, Elino was about to leave. For soldiers who already had family, Elino, who wanted to follow them, gave their grassland wife a pension, meaning that this person would think he was dead and might not come back. Then, after the market was built, they would give priority to settle here.

It turned out that the women on the grassland didn't seem to be so nostalgic for their husbands. It seemed to them that there was always a risk of men going out to rob.

This is how women on the grassland are. Don’t expect them to wait for men. Whenever they have the chance, they will marry other men with their children. This is the way to survive here. You gave them pensions. They are just grateful to you today, and you will forget tomorrow.

Tasha still advised Elino to give pensions, but Elino felt that she was not a prairie person, and some things could not be calculated like this. Some examples start with it and will become routine in the future.

Today, if women in the grassland do not receive pensions, they will come from remote areas tomorrow, and if they go on, they will not receive pensions in rural areas, and in the end, they will not receive pensions in urban areas. The pension project will not be cut off. Where can the money go in the end?

The pockets of officers and nobles

Even if it is a huge market, it will not be a matter of time. So Elino led the team to the road. When he came, he only brought five hundred personal guards. Now his team has expanded to about 30,000 people, including about 30,000 knights, 25,000 cavalry and 2,000 baggage transport teams. There must be two hundred mages. Such a team can be said to be quite large on the grassland. After all, most battles on the grassland are as small as dozens to thousands. Without certain organizational capabilities, you cannot afford to support a team of tens of thousands of people.

Brother Elino, I heard that you have become a Duke in Williams. Look at me, I am doing a mess now, and I am all counting on you.

Brothers Taal, we would not have had a good life without you on the grassland. It would be natural to support you.

When Elino and Taal met, they were so enthusiastic that Elino's subordinates were a little surprised.

They know each other? Are they familiar with each other?

When men meet on the grassland, they like to call each other brothers as long as they are not enemies, they like to call each other brothers, but the best brothers are dead brothers, and then they can legitimately accept each other's wife, wife, daughter, money, cows and sheep. As for the son when he is old, he will drive him out and give him a knife to a horse, saying that if he doesn't drive him away, he will kill him.

Tasha said expressionlessly, making Elinor's subordinates a little creepy

You have to be careful of every brother on the grassland, this is my advice

After the welcome party, Elino and Taal talked separately

How is the night on the grassland?

Just saying that I feel awkward to see the night view of two men

Taal laughed and handed over a bottle to Elino. Elino took it and took a sip.

Not so good, drink mine later

Your Duke of Williams Empire is richer than me, then isn't that a loss of price?

Taal picked up the bottle and touched Elinor, and then took a big bite.

To be honest, let’s avoid reminiscing about the past. I used you at the beginning, and now I need your help.

Elinor shook his bottle and stared at Taal for a while

To be honest, it would be ugly to you to be so good that you look like now. If I hadn't seen the combat power of half orcs, I would have believed it.

At that time, I said that I had to hold on for three years, but now I've been over.

I have read the information in the past few years and have sent you food and weapons!

Then have the team you brought with you changed?

I have handled government affairs more or less, so you can't help but fool me

Taal sighed and lowered his head to Elino

Now I beg you, I have nothing to say, I can only say you are right, it is really difficult to watch my phone call

What's the problem?

Our relationship with the orcs is also an alliance. Until now, only the tiger man and the cat man fight side by side with us

Elinor showed such an expression, but he was puzzled

If you didn't lie to me, the Western Royal Sect and the orcs should be blood feuds. If victory won, they would never be let go. Why haven't werewolf and the centaur joined until now?

The orcs are more resistant to harsh environments than humans, so we have no room for anything. They and werewolfs think I am not strong enough and are unwilling to obey my leader. What do you say about the Centaur? In the past, they fought with us grassland people, which was considered half-open. As for the Earth Knights, they were beaten very badly. They now lose confidence. As for the Taurus, they are a race that is not good at fighting. Although they have the strength and size, unless they are forced into desperate situations, they will not take the initiative to attack others. Although the tiger people are powerful, they are rare, and they are just not inferior to the knights. It is not that they are stronger than the knights. Cat people are not good at frontal battlefields. Spying on intelligence and sneak attacks are their strengths. The grassland people don’t have enough fighting spirit awakeners, so we fight very miserably, it’s really miserable. If the royal court hadn’t hatred for us too deeply and wanted to kill us, I guess I’d surrender.

Elino nodded

I understand, start fighting back from tomorrow

tomorrow?

Yes, tomorrow

The battle formation on the grassland is not a large army like Williams and then a decisive battle, but a scout war. Small troops will choose to escape when they encounter large troops. Small teams with hundreds of people on both sides are most likely to engage in battle. This kind of battle is usually more cruel.

Ellino dispersed the mages into squads and split the troops into squads one after another. Each squad was assigned several knights. Several squads were joining a pure knight to form a squadron, and then formed their own military formations by one squadron after another, and began to advance.

This time Elino handed over the command to Pebro, and he went directly to the front line. Pebro did not refuse. As a knight, he can be said to be ordinary in martial arts. In comparison, he himself is more willing to control the overall situation in the Central Army.

The biggest problem on the grassland is that it is too big and very empty. Contact sometimes becomes a problem. The mage brought by Elinor this time played a role. The mage is no longer responsible for combat. Compared to throwing two fireballs, it is more important to maintain contact.

Sir, news came from the front that the Duke had just defeated an enemy

Pebro looked at the map and took out the ruler

Being able to maintain contact means that the Duke's position should be within this range. How many enemy forces have we eliminated today?

There have been no less than five battles reported, all ending with the victory of our army.

Do all teams have regular contact?

There are two teams that have not been in contact in time so far, they should be here according to the plan

Watching the staff mark the location on the map, Pebro thought for a while before starting to issue orders

Reduce the teams that have already fought, speed up the teams behind them, understand the specific personnel losses of several teams, let them move closer to the central army, replenish personnel, and hand over the wounded Duke, don't ask. With the Duke's combat power, warm up is probably not a scout to send scouts to the two teams without fixed contact, so that they should be careful. If the enemy's large troops are completely destroyed, they must transmit the information.

The staff officer immediately went to deal with these matters, while Elino was on the front line, looking at the corpses on the ground.

Is this the Knights of the Earth?

Looking at the equipment, they should be theirs

It is much more tenacious than the Night Wind Knights, and is at a disadvantage, and does not escape or give up. It resists stubbornly until the end

This is probably because they have to fight with the Kingdom of God for a long time.

How to say it?

Seeing Ellino ask a question, the Knight who just replied casually thought about it

Duke, when I was a child, I followed my father to Old Williams City, where I met the knights of the Knights. I was not old at that time and was very curious about the stories of the knights. I asked the other party to tell me about my own experiences. I still remember the eyes of the knights today, and his eyes revealed deep fatigue... I thought he would fight with a glorious opponent, but he told us his experience...

********************

Children, you can call me Jim. First of all, I have to say sorry to you. I am not a powerful person, nor have I participated in that kind of epic battle. I am just a mediocre talent who has not died because of my luck. So you may think my story is boring.

A knight who looked a little short and strong was sitting on a stone bench. The half of his face on the left looked like there were signs of being burned by fire. The right face was injured. It seemed that he had been injured before, but he was cured again with the fighting spirit.

Such warriors are not popular with girls, but for boys, they are like a collection of mobile stories full of medals.

The knight crossed his hands on his chest and looked at the group of children in front of him. He said that he didn't like children. He felt that children were too noisy and he was not old enough to reflect his value by telling the past things. But these children are all young masters from noble families and can't afford to offend them.

To be honest, I really don't want to recall those things...

Jim chased his beard and then raised a finger

You must remember that the Kingdom of God is a sacred land. In my opinion, it is simply a demonic realm. The people there are very different from those of us. Don’t treat them as human beings, or we cannot use our common sense to look at them. What I want to say below is what I just joined the Knights. At that time, I was still a rookie...

Jim took out a cigarette from his waist, a match, and the match quickly brushed across the stone bench and burned, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath. This seemed really cool to a group of boys.

I followed my captain, a team of six knights, plus about one hundred and twenty ordinary infantry, to conduct reconnaissance for the large army, and we encountered the scouts of the other party. The two sides started fighting without any hesitation, and they were different from the people here. Even if they were the barbarians in the east, generally speaking, if they were similar in strength, they would not fight, but the people in the Kingdom of God were different. They shouted at the priesthood of the gods they believed in, without any hesitation. It was my first time to go to the battlefield. I was frightened for a moment, hahaHahaha, I was frightened, the other party shot an arrow like this, my captain pulled me and that arrow was empty. At that time, I thought, I owe our captain a life. Most of the soldiers usually test first when fighting, check the opponent's strength, then find the opponent's loopholes, and give the opponent a fatal blow. Be careful whether the opponent's loopholes leaked on purpose. What we have to do is to save ourselves first, and then eliminate the enemy. After all, if we die, what's the point of destroying the enemy? Right

A group of boys nodded. They were not the kind of berserker who pursued destruction. It was obviously unpaid to take their own life in order to eliminate the enemy.

People in the Kingdom of God are different. They can ignore their lives in order to kill the enemies. In their opinion, they are fighting for the gods. Killing us pagans and devoting ourselves to the gods is the supreme glory. For us, ordinary soldiers to fight against the knights, there must be a dead soldier who sacrifices his life to attract the attention of the knights. Everyone in the Kingdom of God is a dead soldier. The soldiers attack our front line as if they don’t want to die. It looks messy, but they don’t care. They just need to kill us enemies of the gods, but they don’t care about their lives. There are many clergymen on their side, and there are many priests who can provide them with various assistance. In short, my first time on the battlefield was in a mess and was broken up.

Sorry, I ruined your fantasy. The battlefield is not as beautiful as you imagined. Both sides wear bright and gorgeous armor and pay duels. The kind that only exists on the stage. The battlefield in reality is usually a mess. Everyone wears the simplest armor, which is not easy to be noticed. Careful observers of the enemy situation, and the fearless shouting of the high-rise is simply a target for the enemy. The two sides of the battle are never evenly matched, but are killed first when they catch the easy-to-deal; they are still dressed neatly for a long time, which is even more nonsense. You know that we are wearing armor, and we need to put on a mail, carrying weapons and shields. We are very tired, sweating for a while, and fighting with the enemy will make you covered in mud.

What happened after you got separated from the main force?

Jim reached out to touch half of his face burned by fire when he heard a child's question, and then patted with a wry smile

Look, this is what I left behind at that time. I was still young at that time and couldn't control the rhythm at all. I used up all my strength early on because I was exhausted. I didn't know where I was carried. Then I was confused and was dragged away by people from somewhere. The borders of the Empire and the Kingdom of God were very blurred. It was all about luck to be dragged away by my own people or by the people opposite me. Of course, as a knight, I was not worried about my safety at first. After all, everyone knows that knights are very valuable, but that time I realized that I was ridiculously wrong...

Jim stretched out his finger and pointed at his wrist. There were injuries here, and I also stayed to remind my children that there was obviously a piece of skin on Jim's wrist.

I woke up in pain and was nailed to a wall. The wound on my wrist was left behind at that time, and I, and there were several ordinary soldiers who were separated. We were very scared at that time. Many people would tell you that he was not afraid of death or something. Most of the time, they were empty words. When facing death, people would be scared to me to this age. I was scared at that time. Fortunately, my pants were thick and I was not seen.

Jim laughed twice in self-deprecatingly, then cleared his throat

Children think this story seems to be a little different from what they imagined, but they really want to continue listening, because this story is different from what they usually hear, and it is another stimulation.

The whole village men, women, young and old gathered in the square and looked at us like this. At least I looked around. There were no soldiers or sacrificial sacrifices in the Kingdom of God, but they were all shouting, throwing stones or dirt at us, and shouting wildly that we were blasphemers, asking us to confess that a guy was frightened and kept calling me to surrender. I confessed that I didn't have to despise him. He was really scared, so the group of people pulled him out and asked him whether he believed in gods or not, which god he believed in, and could not say the doctrine. As a result, that idiot couldn't say anything. For most people, even if he believed in gods, it was difficult to recite all the doctrines. As a result, the unlucky guy was tied to a pillar for blasphemy sins, and then the whole village, whether adults or children, were all the elderly.Throwing stones at him was not a little bit of small stone, but a stone about the size of a fist. The scene was really shocking, plasma, brain, etc., and what was even more scary was that even a little little child, I saw that the children of a few years old in the village threw stones together. Generally speaking, this kind of thing would make children, women and elderly people go away, but they were not like this. They were the participation of the whole people. For them, killing people is a sin, but killing the blasphemer is supreme glory, so even children will participate in sharing the glory. Seeing this situation, we know that we are probably dead, so some people began to cry, while others denounced the gods and those people in the kingdom of gods, either stoned them or throw them into the fire.

What were you doing then?

Jim took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, burned the remaining cigarette directly, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped it out.

Well, at that time, I was trying my best to mobilize my fighting spirit to repair my body. I must not give up. No matter when and where, no matter how bad the situation I face, I cannot give up sometimes. Because people are easy to give up when encountering failures and setbacks. Remember, if you give up, you will be done. This is just an ordinary village. There are no temples of the Templar Knights and no priests. I have the chance to break free from the beginning, but I didn't do this. If I break free from the beginning, they are numerous and powerful, and they are also very physically strong, so I waited quietly. I did not show my courage to scold or provoke, nor did I think about the matter of ordinary soldiers. I used them as a tool to delay time, just as I thought. The villagers here handled them from ordinary soldiers and regarded me as the final prize.

Indeed, as I guessed, the last person in the Kingdom of God was about to deal with me. They came over and asked me like the previous one, asking me if I believe in gods, which god I believe in. I said I believe in the existence of gods, but I don’t want to serve any god. If your god is really omnipotent, why don’t you directly stop the war and let me believe in him directly? If your god is really kind, why can’t he accept others not believing in him? Watching you here for violence, you must know that fighting in our place also makes women, children and the elderly go away, and what are you doing? Maybe I was so angry that I was beaten by me for a moment. I was beaten twice, and a tooth was lost. Then I spit on my beating, and the guy became even more angry. He picked up the torch in his hand and burned my face. This scar was left at that time.

So you break free and then kill the other person?

Jim shook his head when he looked nervous.

No, even if I am a knight, it is difficult to fight from a group of ordinary people who are fanatical and not afraid of death by relying on my fists. I need weapons, so I pretended to be unable to break free, just kept shouting and scolding them, mocking them for believing in the evil god, I did indeed anger the other party, and then he pulled out a sword to kill me. At this moment, I broke free, smashed the other party out with one punch, grabbed the sword, and rushed to a place where there were many women and children. For me, the people in the Kingdom of God are already demons. I swung the sword to knock the person blocking my way to the ground, and I didn't kill her directlyThey cut their hands or feet, so that as long as more villagers stayed to save them, fewer people would pursue me. I escaped into a forest, pulled out the nails on my hands, tore my clothes into strips, bandaged the wounds, and then relied on the advantages of the forest to kill two waves of pursuers. The villagers followed me like mad dogs and kept chasing me, either killing me or being killed by me, or being killed by me, perhaps because of good luck. I met a patrol team, killed the pursuers and was rescued after they were rescued. It is said that our team would live...

Jim sighed, stretched out his hand and touched one of the children's head

The ghost place of the Kingdom of God is sacred to outsiders. In my opinion, it looks like a land of demons. It’s okay. I remember going deep into the territory of the Kingdom of God. Sometimes people will unconsciously develop faith. Some people will suddenly kneel down and cry and say their mistakes in the past. Some who did not believe in God will suddenly become gods and gods, and even some people start praying and repenting every day. The more they go to the inside of the Kingdom of God, the more serious this phenomenon is. Even the divine enlightenment appears in their ears. Many people directly become believers and start drawing swords at their former companions. This is why the Kingdom of God has not been destroyed by us so far. It is a strange place. If possible, a high wall should be built to seal the people of the Kingdom of God forever. Never let them come out to harm the world.

Seeing a bunch of children nodding, Jim nodded with satisfaction

I don't deny the existence of the gods. I know that the gods exist, but I never believe that the kingdom of God is a sacred place, nor do I believe that the high priests of the kingdom of God are the spokespersons of God. They are just a bunch of beasts and do not care about the lives of believers at all.
