Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 36 Attacking the nobles is punishable by death!

"The Shogunate? What will be the Shogunate? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"It's normal to haven't heard of it, but it's not normal for people to hear about it. A bunch of crazy people, idiots with brains in water. I didn't live like a human being when I was alive, and I hope to ...... after I died. Hey? I know that the Shogunate will say, doesn't that mean that I am not a normal person? ”

"Shulik! Don't interrupt, say it! What the hell will be the Shogun?"

"Oh, okay...... The Shogunate, also known as the Cult of the Dead, is a belief 'invented' by necromancers. You can almost tell it by the name, right? That is, the cult of death, and the preaching of death is just another beginning. All life will eventually perish, but death will be eternal! That's pretty much what it means...... They must be mistaken in confusing death with eternal life. Oh no, it's a confusion between 'immortality' and 'eternal life......"

"Death cult? Meaning want to die? Is it bad to be alive? Die? ”

“…… Don't look at me, I just know that there are such a bunch of crazy people, and they like to find 'thrills' when they know they are fine! As for what they think in their heads...... How could I possibly know! ”

"Mr. Norn, you just said 'immortality' and 'eternal life...... Aren't these two meant the same thing? ”

"Who said a meaning uh? What a difference! ”

"What's the difference?"

"For example......

Fang Qiuling didn't have a good feeling about "death", the ultimate destination of all things. The living are always looking for ways to survive in the world, and even if many of them seem absurd and absurd, there is still a steady stream of people trying...... He was not at all interested in the teachings of the Shogunate.

- Is the takeaway not fragrant, or is the milk tea not delicious? Or is the drama you are chasing is not good-looking? Isn't it good to worship death and live? I wanted to die so early...... Besides,Aren't you going to watch next month's new episode? I'm not going to watch the new episode next month?

For the scum of the curtain death who took the initiative to send it to the door, you don't need to keep your hands, you can beat it to death directly! In the game, there is a lot of "love and killing" with the scum of the Shogunate, and in reality, you will be afraid of them? No way!

In the middle of the conversation, a small group of guards rushed over from the direction of the town gate. I saw them holding spears and quickly surrounded the scene. Leading the way is an acquaintance, the Knight of Rivers, who is in charge of guarding the town.

After arriving at the scene, just a casual glance, Knight Rivers' face became quite ugly.

Refugee fights are nothing at all. In the past few days, the daily situation is one game in the morning, one game in the afternoon, and another extra game in the evening. At first, when I saw a fight between refugees, the guards would step forward to stop it whenever they could. However, after the guards who stepped forward to stop them were knocked unconscious, their weapons were snatched, and then the refugees caused several serious injuries with the stolen weapons, the guards saw that the refugees were fighting and were no longer asking questions and letting themselves go. That's why the guards are belated.

The scene in front of me was slightly scary. The ground was covered with specks of blood, and the number of refugees lying on the ground was much higher than expected. Of course, that's not all. Two days ago, a refugee was directly disembowed during the fight, and his white brains were scattered all over the ground! And at this moment, although there are more guys lying on the ground, they are still angry, which can only be said to be a small scene.

What really changed the face of the Rivers Knight was the black short blades scattered on the ground.

Without weapons such as swords and spears, fights between refugees are fights. Punches, kicks and sticks can also break people's heads, but they still lack enough lethality in comparison.

According to the player's terminology in the game, injuries caused by punches, kicks, and clubs are bruises, and bruises are not fatal. But if you change it to a short blade, whether it is a slash in the throat or a thrust in the chest, it will bring death immediately! Even if the short blade is only a little longer than a dagger, it can kill people if you have the heart!

There are a lot of refugees gathered outside the town of Huquan, and refugees are people who have fled. But if enough weapons are provided to the refugees, they will be transformed into destroyers of order – mobs! If it is organized by someone with a heart, the town wall of Huquan Town, which is not very high, should be ...... The onslaught of the mob should not be stopped.

As the commander of the Misty Night Knights' squadron and the head of Lakesprings' Town Guard, it's not surprising that Knight Rivers immediately changed his face when he saw the black shortblades scattered all over the ground.

The all-black short blade reflected a slightly harsh glow in the sunlight. The edge of the short blade is not large, and it is a little longer than the dagger, but the arc on the edge and the blood grooves on both sides are extremely conspicuous. Coupled with the high degree of consistency in the style of the scattered short blades, it is easy to conclude that these short blades were not used by the refugees themselves for self-defense, but by "professional designers".

The Rivers Knight has good combat skills, and it is inevitable that he will study various weapons while practicing martial arts on weekdays. He was accustomed to wearing heavy armor in battle, so he always paid special attention to weapons that could be used to pierce armor, such as daggers, short blades, and battle cones.

There were several black short blades scattered on the ground, judging by their appearance...... The effect of armor-piercing is definitely not bad!

What does it mean that the armor-piercing effect is not bad? This means that as long as a refugee with a black short blade sneaks up in the crowd, and then feels for the gap between the short blade and the heavy armor, even a heavily armed knight will be easily put down! This kind of assassination weapon is undoubtedly hated in the eyes of the knights.

Of course, knights don't fear civilians because of the appearance of armor-piercing weapons. Even if there are several armor-piercing weapons, there is nothing to fear. In comparison, the knight's sword at the waist is a greater threat to the refugees! What really changed Rivers Knight's face was that he found that the black shortblades scattered on the ground had an extremely uniform style!

Elune doesn't have the concept of "industry" yet. Whether it is weapons, armor or various daily necessities, they are produced by small workshops such as fathers and sons, or masters and apprentices. Since there is no unified standard, or even a unified measurement, there are always various deviations in the same kind of goods produced by different workshops.

The black short-bladed style is extremely uniform. After a cursory glance, the Rivers Knight was even sure that the shortblades were very similar in size and material, meaning that they all came from a blacksmith's shop.

These short blades look like that's what they are, and they don't seem to be very remarkable. But buy them in the blacksmith's shop...... I don't know exactly what the price is, but it's certainly not cheap! Would anyone believe the willingness to spend a sum of money to buy so many daggers, and then "distribute" them to refugees, saying that there is no behind-the-scenes?

INTERVIEWER What kind of force would do such a thing?

The Misty Lake area is what the nobles of the royal capital Serradia called "the countryside underground". The name "rural place" represents a series of labels such as "no special products", "poor", "no fun place", etc., and also represents the subtext of "no strategic value".

A brief look around made the Rivers Knight's brain go crazy. But even though a lot of brain cells have died because of this, there is still no clue.

Of course, the basic judgment Rivers Knight is still there: the target of the mastermind behind the scenes must be Lakesprings!

What can a group of refugees with short blades do when they infiltrate Lakesprings? It was nothing more than creating chaos and exhausting the guards, and then the army pressed on and down.

A very superficial, but generally effective strategy, it is the most basic operation in the art of war.

Knight Rivers saluted Fang Qiuling and Lady Mogre before greeting Pastor Ed and Old Tom.

Fang Qiuling has the title of viscount, and Lady Mogre is a veteran paladin, and as a knight, she must pay respect. Old Tom's ostensible identity is a commoner, and the priest is also considered a "commoner", so he only needs to say hello to Old Tom and Pastor Eddard.

After a brief exchange, I asked about the cause and effect. With a wave of his hand, the guards dispersed, and soon tied up all the refugees lying on the ground. A few slaps were slapped in the face, and the fainted guy woke up screaming, and then was dragged away one by one like dead dogs.

- Crime: Assault on the nobles!

- Verdict: Death!

Nobility is the cornerstone of the kingdom. Attacking nobles with blades, regardless of the reason, if the commoners are caught, they will be executed! And it's a public hanging! As for whether the nobles have committed something...... That is the work of the heraldic court, whether it is the investigation or evidence collection, or even the final trial, it is the business of the heraldic court, and it will not be interrogated at present. If you have any objections or dissatisfaction with this process, you can complain to Her Royal Highness Caroline, the eldest princess of the regent of the kingdom!

As the lowest aristocratic class, the Knights of Rivers will not be fond of thugs who dare to attack the nobility. The reason why the gallows was erected directly at the scene was only because he still wanted to torture and get some news and intelligence.

After everyone was dragged away and the refugees who were "making trouble" were dealt with, Knight Rivers took the initiative to invite the group to the town to rest.

Among the group, except for Fang Qiuling, who was not very familiar, the other three Rivers knights were very familiar. Stationed in Huquan Town all the year round, it is inevitable to deal with the temple, and it is inevitable to have some intersections with Old Tom, the "militia leader". The new Viscount Norn is indeed not very familiar, but he is not familiar with it, and he has heard a lot of rumors and the like, and he is a young nobleman with a very good review.

It is undoubtedly a dream for the refugees to want to enter the town now. Especially since there has just been an attack on the nobles, it is impossible to determine whether the others are also hiding weapons, and it is polite not to drive them all away. And the four in front of me want to enter the town, no problem at all! It's not even hard to open the doors of the town to greet you!

As for the short Mildis and Little Will, they were directly ignored by the Rivers Knights.

Children and dwarfs - the noble lord always has some unknown hobbies, so it's better not to ask around!
