Chapter 2 The Robber
"Lord, please help us." The farmer's voice was filled with tears as he begged Sir Dias.
"Joey, what happened?" Sir Dias knew this farmer. Farmer Joey was an old villager in Blackthorn Village.
"Lord, a group of bandits broke into our farmhouse to steal our food, and they also killed people!" Joey couldn't help but shed tears. Just now, my wife died in the hands of those bandits.
.
"What!" Sir Dias slapped the table and stood up, his voice rising several decibels.
"Father, please allow me to kill those damn bandits!" Pine said proactively. Although he had always thought that Blackthorn Village was a useless and barren village, he had to admit that their family still had to live here.
Dias was very satisfied with his eldest son's offer and was about to agree, but Karl suddenly asked: "How many people are there?"
Sir Dias was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by his second son's calmness, but he immediately reacted and looked at Joey.
"There are a dozen of them, all holding pitchforks!" Joey replied.
Sir Dias frowned. The seven bandits with weapons also posed quite a threat.
"Well, Payne, you go put on your armor, pick up your shield, and get the horses out of the stable, and then we'll go over there to stop them first," Sir Dias said in a deep voice.
"Okay father! I will definitely let those damn guys go to hell!" Pine's face was overjoyed. He had long wanted to have a fight.
"Thank you Lord, you are truly our protector." Joey expressed his thanks with a happy face.
"Protecting the safety of the people in one's territory is an unshirkable responsibility of an aristocrat!" Sir Dias waved his hand.
"Karl, we still have five spears in our arsenal. Go and take them out to arm some peasants. Take one for yourself, and then take them over immediately." After Sir Dias finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the dining room.
, there is not so much time to waste now.
"Hahahaha, brother, just do some handyman work." Pine laughed, as if in his opinion, this kind of logistical work of distributing weapons was inferior.
"Okay." Carl shrugged and led Joey towards the weapons depot.
"Be safe!" Mrs. Aisha looked at the three men leaving the house and couldn't help shouting.
"Don't worry, mother, those guys won't be my opponents!" Pine said in a disdainful voice, and he must have had the image of him killing everyone in his mind.
…
"Bah, this place is really poor." The man with a long scar on his face spat, with a look of disgust on his face, but his hands were clear and he stabbed another peasant woman to death.
"Boss, I've already told you that this place is really worthless. What we robbed is not as good as the caravan we robbed before." The robber beside him also shook his head.
"Idiot, do you really think we have the ability to rob a caravan? If the caravan we met was not defeated by another group and few people survived, would it be our turn to take advantage?" Scarface scolded with a smile.
One sound.
Just half a month ago, they encountered a lone caravan. The caravan had only two or three guards, and all of them were injured. Afterwards, they found out that they had just fought a bloody battle. Although
The battle was won, but the losses were heavy.
It took a lot of picking up, but the harvest was really great. Just that one cart of stuff meant they didn’t have to come out to grab it for half a month.
"Help, Lord, why are you punishing us like this?"
"They are all demons, they are all demons!"
There were screams and cries for help everywhere. Looking at the blazing flames of their farmhouses, the farmers shed tears.
"Boss, this village seems to have a lord..." One of the robbers hesitated and said.
"Hal, you coward, what are you afraid of? Let's grab a vote and leave. It'll be fine. Even if their lord comes, what power can such a small village have? It's not like we can ravage it." Others laughed.
"I just...I just!" Hal's face turned red, trying to explain something.
"Okay, what Hal said makes sense. You guys should move more quickly. We'll retreat as soon as we're almost done." Scarface interrupted his men.
Scarface is still very prestigious, and as soon as his words come out, others will not dare to refute them.
"Driving... law..."
"Beasts, you are looking for death!" Scarface was startled by Pine's roar.
"It's the lords! The lords are here to save us!" The farmers shouted in surprise when they saw the people coming.
"Knight?" Looking at Pine and Sir Dias coming on horseback, Scarface hesitated.
"I am the ruler of Blackthorn Village, Knight Dias, and now I order you to surrender immediately!" Sir Dias said coldly.
Although there were only two of them, they were quite intimidating, especially the chainmail Sir Dias wore, which gave people a sense of invulnerability.
Although the Dias family is poor, they still have a set of chainmails that are passed down from generation to generation. After all, they are a family of knights.
Of course, Pine is not that well-equipped, and he only has a set of leather armor.
"Father, don't bother talking to him. All these beasts should be killed!" Pine said loudly. Within his sight, the crops were completely destroyed, and the villagers fell into a pool of blood.
Sir Dias looked a little ugly, his eldest son still lacked some strategy.
As expected, this angered the other party on the spot.
"Young men, don't be afraid, so what if they are knights? There are only two of them, and we have fifteen of us! Kill them and snatch the armor, and we can make a lot of money!" Scar said
Face shouted.
Suddenly the robbers' faces showed a look of greed. A set of chain armor was not cheap in this era, and it would definitely be a big deal if you really got it.
Sir Dias sighed. Originally, he wanted to delay for a while until his second son brought reinforcements, but now it seemed that he could not wait any longer.
Sir Dias was not an indecisive person. He made a prompt decision, raised his lance, and charged towards the opponent.
"Pine, charge with me, deal with them, and protect our people!"
Seeing his father launching a charge, Pine also grinned, clamped his legs together, shouted loudly, and charged forward on his horse.
As the knight charged, the robbers suddenly panicked. After all, they were just refugees who couldn't survive. If they were ordinary people, they would have been frightened by the knight's charge. It was just because they had robbed it several times.
, I saw some "blood" on the tip of the knife, so I became a little bolder.
"Don't panic!"
Scarface looked at Pine who was rushing towards him, licked his lips and bowed his body.
Seeing the right moment, he shouted loudly, raised the sword in his hand, and the sound of steel intersecting was clear and loud.
Scarface only felt numbness on his arm, which was caused by the huge force. If it was any stronger, it might break.
But not only was there no pain on Scarface's face, he actually laughed out loud.
"Young men, look at the knight, he is nothing more than that, hahahaha." He said with a look of contempt towards Pine.
Pine was a little annoyed. Instead of destroying the enemy, he allowed him to dodge a blow.
"I hope you can still laugh later." Pine snorted coldly and was about to charge again.
But this time it was not that easy. Scarface waved his hand, and five or six people immediately surrounded him to trap him.
His current war horse also has no vest, its flesh and blood is completely exposed, and it is difficult to escape. A knight cannot charge and exert his strength, but if he is trapped, he will become a living target.
However, things went much smoother for Sir Dias. After all, he was a knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had superb skills. At this moment, with a spear, he directly ended the life of a robber.
"Pine!"
Seeing that his eldest son was surrounded, Sir Dias was shocked and quickly rode on to rescue him.
"Stop him!" Scarface ordered, intending to deal with Pine first. Sir Dias was wearing chain mail and some light armor on his horse. He was definitely not easy to mess with and could be saved until the end.
"Don't underestimate me!" Pine shouted, holding the reins, the whole horse stood up, stamped hard with its front feet, and kicked a robber away on the spot.
This immediately suppressed several robbers, and they did not dare to get too close to Pine.
"Follow me, everyone!"
Scarface saw that everyone was unmoved, and he gritted his teeth and decided to take the lead in killing them.
At this point, he had no regrets. He had to keep these two knights today, otherwise their lives would be at risk.
"Stop hurting my brother!"
Just when the situation became tense, Karl finally rushed over with four spear-wielding farmers.
Carl was especially frightened when he saw Pine being surrounded. He didn't know where the courage came from, and he rushed towards Scarface. When the opponent was stunned, he drove the spear into the opponent's chest.
"Pfft..." Blood spurted out and sprinkled on Karl's face.
"No! The boss is dead, the boss is dead!" As soon as Scarface died, all the robbers instantly lost their fighting spirit, dropped their weapons and ran away.
At this time, Karl fell into a trance, and was a little confused when he saw the scarred face lying in a pool of blood.
He killed someone... He actually killed someone... After all, he was just a young man from China in the 21st century. If someone really died in front of him, how could he remain indifferent? For a moment, his heart was filled with wavering.
He wanted to vomit, and looking at Scarface's body, his stomach acid kept refluxing.
"No...it's not me...how could I..." He kept saying meaningless words, as if he wanted to refute something instinctively, although no one asked him a question at all.
"Death!" Without the siege, Pine rushed out and was about to chase him. At this moment, he was almost furious.
With one shot, a robber was carried away and died tragically on the spot.
