"That civilian knight called Dali went after the villagers who tried to escape through the back door of the village, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Facing the small mountain village that was engulfed in flames, on a high ground in front of the main gate of the village, several men on horseback were talking a little bored.

The one who spoke was dressed in a dark full-body armor, and although his helmet was open to make it easier to speak, he held the knight's spear tightly in his hand, and his eyes kept scanning around. It is clear that even in such a boring moment, the knight did not let his guard down.

"Who knows! But there will definitely be problems! At least the few villagers who escaped could not have been captured alive! Speaking of which, this guy from a civilian background seems to have a soft spot for torturing and killing civilians! I don't know if it's to draw a line with civilians or if I was stimulated by it when I was a child! ”

The words were full of shameful laughter from the mouth of another black-armored knight, and like the knight who had just spoken, the knight with a two-handed battle axe on his shoulder did not let his guard down as he spoke.

"I know you look down on Dali, and to be honest, I look down on him too! But I need followers, and in order to achieve higher status, I have to gather all kinds of followers, so I want you all to get along! The man in the middle of the black-armored knights said this, dressed in silver-white armor.

Instead of wearing a helmet like the others, the man unconcerned hung a silver-white helmet mixed with a large amount of Mithril on the saddle, while the man held a magic guide capable of creating cold wind while blowing the wind on himself, and continued to admonish the others: "In order for me to go further, temporary patience is necessary!" Of course, I will never forget the support of you and the family behind you! As for the civilian knight? I desperately want to make meritorious contributions all day long, and I always rush to the front line stupidly, and I guess I will meet the Styx soon! When the time comes, I won't have to pay anything, and you don't have to worry about a civilian climbing to a high position, and that guy can help us do a lot of things we don't want to do before he dies, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone? ”

"The Lord is wise!" All the black-armored knights responded one after another, but one of the black-armored knights couldn't help but remind: "Although the civilian knight called Dali is very desperate to complete the task for the sake of merit!" But with his civilian background, his combat effectiveness has always been limited, will there be any fish that slip through the net if he is sent to guard the back door! To know that our operation this time, the key is to fight the time difference of Locke's absence, if the villagers escape and inform Locke's bastard, with Locke's skills and those of his subordinates, I am afraid that we will be directly here! ”

"Don't worry!" Another person who was guarded by the black knight in the middle and rarely spoke spoke, this man who rarely spoke was wearing a luxurious magic robe and holding a staff with a staff inlaid with a six-pointed star pattern composed of pure gold.

Then the magician moved his body, which was a little uncomfortable because he had been on the horse for too long, and then continued to say to everyone: "I sent my little darlings to block the back door at the beginning, even if that civilian knight can't stop it, don't let the fish that slip through the net want to enter the jungle alive!" Moreover, the little baby I arranged in the sky did not see any signs of a large group of people in the dense forest. I heard that Locke seems to have dispatched a thousand people to kill that unlucky fellow magician this time, and it is impossible for so many people to hide their whereabouts in the dense forest! ”

"It's worthy of Master Eric, so well prepared!" The handsome young man who seemed to have a lot of status quickly complimented the magician named Eric, and then said to the other knights: "Although Master Eric is well prepared, this place is too close to the location of Locke's group, so everyone hurry up and hurry!" Hurry up and get here, we'll be ready to go back immediately! ”

"Yes, this batch of captured slaves is enough to buy a lot of money! And there are a few good-looking aristocratic girls who run out to go out, everyone is happy to teach these noble girls how to serve men, and then they can also write ransoms with these noble families in the kingdom of Thalia! I even suspect that the ransom is more than the slaves we captured this time earned! ”

"Just know the money! You know that your family started as merchants and now controls a small half of the business of our Duchy of Felicis, but the role of these slaves is more than just money! The foundation of a country is still the population! Only when the population base goes up, will we have more labor, more soldiers! Only with more soldiers will it be possible for our Duchy of Felicis to become independent from the rule of the Griffon Empire! ”

Listening to the discussions among the knights, the handsome young man seemed to be a little irritated and said to everyone: "Don't say more! Too much talk can make you lose it all! This is in enemy territory, and we don't plan to go to war with the Kingdom of Talaya this year! The top priority is to loot the population while Locke is not there and then return home as soon as possible! But speaking of which, how did it take so long for this village to be completed?! ”

"It seems that because this mountain village is in the middle of a forest, and since the villagers are used to protecting each other, our men are facing even more fierce resistance! At the end of the day, we are not here to kill more people, but to turn these villagers into slaves and enrich our population! After saying this, Eric, who was dressed as a magician, closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be connecting with his spirit, and then continued to say to the handsome man: "It seems that from the sky, there are signs of villagers gathering to protect each other in several places, if it really can't work, let my little ones do it!" ”

"If Master Eric summons your summoned beasts to join the battle, I'm afraid that the villagers of this small village will be killed by the demonic beasts in an instant, right? Then we won't be able to catch slaves!" Or, let's do it together! It's an enemy country here, and it's not good to drag on for a long time! ”

Hearing the handsome man's words, several black-armored knights seemed to want to argue, but the handsome young man rode directly towards the village, and said as he went: "I will walk with you, everyone should protect me while subduing some rebellious guys by the way!" ”

Seeing the movements made by the handsome young man, some knights couldn't help but show admiring glances, and then all the black-armored knights immediately maintained a vigilant formation around the handsome young man and walked towards the gate of the small village.

Seeing the black-armored knights approaching on horseback, the three warriors who were guarding the village gate to prevent the villagers from escaping immediately gave a very standard military salute to these knights.

Although each of these soldiers wore different equipment, and the weapons were not standard weapons, based on this standard military salute, it is not difficult to guess that the body of this slave capturing team is absolutely inseparable from the army even if it is not an active soldier!

"What's going on?" As soon as he entered the village gate, the handsome young man frowned, for he heard the sound of gold and iron not far away, as if someone was using weapons to engage his soldiers.

Eric, who was dressed as a magician, also frowned slightly and said strangely: "It seems to be the sound of a battle, strange, I obviously summoned a gold-eating beast to infiltrate the village and destroy most of the metal products here, weapons are the top priority, it stands to reason that the villagers in this village should have no weapons!" ”

"It's okay, let's go and see!" The handsome young man smiled slightly and rode directly in the direction of the crashing sound, as for the possible danger, the handsome young man didn't care about this at all, because the black-armored knights around him had proven many times that they were capable enough to protect his safety.

"Damn! You scoundrels! Go to hell! In the distance, the handsome young man and his party heard the sound of a woman's imposing voice at the same time as the clash of weapons.

Turning around a burning wooden house, the handsome young man saw his warriors holding five or six young men and women in the corners of the wooden enclosure, and in front of them a blonde girl confronted his own soldiers with a sword in both hands.

Seeing that the long sword in the woman's hand seemed familiar, coupled with the fact that the handsome young man found that one of the soldiers under his command had an angry face and was holding a spare dagger in front and constantly trying to attack the woman from the side, it seemed that the long sword in the girl's hand was snatched from the soldier's hand.

"It's kind of interesting!" The handsome young man smiled with great interest, and at the same time gave a loud order to the soldiers who were participating in the siege: "I want this girl!" Hurry up and subdue her! Remember, don't hurt her! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately responded, and the soldier with the dagger looked aggrieved, and he didn't need to think about it to know that his lord had taken a fancy to this brave girl. Although this girl is expected to become the plaything of the handsome young man after being caught, and will be locked in a private dungeon until the handsome young man gets tired of playing, because he can't hurt her at the moment, the shame of being taken away by the girl because of his carelessness cannot be washed away.

"It's just a village girl, although the appearance seems to be okay, but His Royal Highness, who is used to seeing beauties, shouldn't he take a fancy to this girl, right?"

A black-armored knight seemed to have a good relationship with his master, and at this time he even asked about the plans of the handsome young man.

"Hehe, I eat a lot of meat dishes, and it's not bad to eat some vegetarian dishes once in a while! What's more, this girl seems to have made me have a strong desire to conquer! Perhaps, it would be a good idea to keep it under wrap with a slave contract and train it to be my personal bodyguard! Of course, first of all, I can enjoy the process of teasing/teaching this girl first, it must be very pleasant! ”

A wicked smile appeared on the handsome young man's face, but just as he began to fall into the illusion that he would use some method to make this girl who dared to resist his soldiers become his slave after he returned, Eric suddenly frowned and reminded: "A few little treasures I arranged in the back mountain have been killed!" And judging from the time of being killed, the opponent should have solved the seven little babies I sent out in an instant! Is it a professional? ”

"Maybe it's a mercenary who came here to complete a gathering mission! Can you see anything in the sky? The handsome young man asked quickly, sounding a little nervous.

Although magicians are all mysterious and secretive, and the real combat power of the demonic beasts summoned by Eric as a summoner is also a little elusive, but being able to instantly kill the seven-headed demonic beasts summoned by Eric in an instant, presumably the strength of the other party should not be low, if this kind of person comes to assassinate him, the probability of success may be really high!

"I can't see it! The forest obstructed the view, and perhaps the attackers had gone into the jungle and hidden. Eric closed his eyes as if trying to see something, but found nothing.

"Maybe it's a mercenary squad living in this village, and it's just that squad taking advantage of the chaos to escape! Most of the mercenaries are selfish and have no knightly glory at all, so they must have fled as soon as they saw the danger here! One of the knights in black armor finished his opinion in a disdainful tone, and the other knights agreed with it.

"Maybe!" The handsome young man nodded slightly, and then loudly ordered the soldiers who were still trying to besiege: "Hurry up! It's just a few villagers alive, why did it take so long? ”

"Yes!" The soldiers said in unison, but their eyes were full of gloom as they looked at each other.

Originally, a village girl seized their own weapons, these soldiers already felt very aggrieved, but they didn't think that this village girl seemed to have practiced a few swordsmanship, although the combat effectiveness was not as good as their professionally trained soldiers, but in order to prevent accidents, they originally planned to wait for the village girl to kill her directly because of the moment when her body was tired because of the continuous swing of the sword, but they didn't expect that their own master would order to be captured alive because they fell in love with this village girl, and they couldn't really hurt her.

Please, it's good that this village girl doesn't hurt us now, and she still wants to increase her speed, how is it possible?

What's more, these young men and women leaned on the corners, which not only allowed the sword-wielding girl to avoid danger in one direction, but also limited the number and direction of the siege. Taken together, even elite soldiers who have killed many people and have very rich combat experience, resulting in much stronger combat effectiveness than ordinary soldiers, cannot take down the other party in a short period of time without injury.

"Huh? Alert! Something seems to be coming! This feeling is very dangerous! ”

Just when those soldiers were depressed and trying to complete the order given by the Lord to quickly arrest the village girl without injury, Eric's face turned pale and he issued a loud order: "Everyone protect the Lord!" ”

Seeing Eric's nervous expression for the first time, all the black-armored knights immediately rode their horses close to the handsome young man, and even several knights with heavy equipment dismounted directly and came to the handsome young man and Eric's side, blocking the possible gaps and waving their weapons from time to time to find out if there was a thief stealthily approaching.

I have to say that the reactions of these black-armored knights are still very fast, and it is not difficult to see that these black-armored knights are very experienced in combat through their positions and movements.

However, there are some dangers that cannot be resisted!

Burst! Wielding his staff to summon a gorgeous magic array, it seemed that he was about to complete some magic, and Eric only felt a chill on his body, and then a black and shiny sword tip suddenly pierced his body and appeared in front of his eyes!

At the last glance, Eric only had time to look back and see a black-clothed swordsman who had come behind him at some point, and then Eric didn't know anything......
