Volume 1 The Forest Knight Chapter 103 Grimble the Horse Dealer (2)
Greenberg knew that it would be impossible to storm the viscount's castle with these manpower, so he asked everyone to pretend to be a caravan, enter the castle in batches, and then launch a surprise attack in the dead of night.
That night, Greenberg chopped the viscount into pieces with an axe, and took revenge on the viscount's wife and daughter in the same way he treated his own wife.
But although the viscount was there, his eldest son was not in the castle. It turned out that he had gone to the capital to do business, so he was not there.
Greenberg knew that they would definitely not be able to defend the castle. After looting, they took more people and fled again. Their actions became a rebellion.
Greenberg's rebellion was severely suppressed by the local nobles. They united and used powerful troops to encircle Greenberg and the others, and threatened the people who were held hostage by massacring villages to withdraw from Greenberg's empire.
Rebel troops.
In this way, Greenberg and the others' life in Valenti became more and more difficult. In the end, only a dozen or so people escaped from the siege and fled to the Blue Mountains. After two years of savage life, the lords gave up the siege and hunted them down.
, Greenberg led the people to escape.
He originally wanted to come to Brick and join me directly, but he knew that the viscount's eldest son not only inherited his father's title, but also rebuilt the family castle, got married and had children in it, so he wanted to kill this person with him first.
Someone with a blood feud.
But Greenberg didn't expect that after his family was slaughtered, the new Viscount would be extremely cautious. It would be very difficult to assassinate him. Not to mention that Greenberg's several plans failed, and the new Viscount was asked to
Aware of the danger.
The new Viscount set a trap to trap Greenberg, and Greenberg was blinded by hatred, and he fell into the trap.
If his brothers hadn't resisted desperately, he would have been shot to death on the spot by the new viscount's ambush soldiers. After this failure, only a dozen of Greenberg's brothers escaped, and they had to return to Lanzhou first.
Rest deep in the mountains.
But the new viscount had already written to the lords at the foot of the Blue Mountains, asking them to inform their hunters who were hunting in the Blue Mountains that someone was offering a high price for the heads of Greenberg and his men.
The head of each of Greenberg's men was worth a thousand dinars, and the head of Greenberg was worth ten thousand dinars.
The hunters who hunted in the Blue Mountains, as well as the bounty hunters who came after seeing the reward announcement, searched almost all over the Blue Mountains, trying their best to find Greenberg and the others.
Before there was a huge bounty on their heads, Greenberg and the others dared to go to the village at the foot of the mountain to buy some clothes, salt and other daily necessities. But now that there is a huge bounty on their heads, they no longer dare to go to the village to buy anything.
.
As a result, Greenberg's life became increasingly difficult. As a last resort, Greenberg and the others had no choice but to ambush the hunters and bounty hunters who were chasing them in order to obtain supplies.
After ambushing three groups of pursuit teams, Greenberg and the others fell into the trap of a large group of bounty hunters when they ambush again. They were lured to attack, but they suddenly fell into the trap.
More than half of the dozen or so brothers left by Grimbor's side were damaged. Counting Grimble, only seven of them were injured and escaped. Grimble himself was also seriously injured.
Greenberg's eye was injured during this breakout. He was hit by an arrow in the eye. However, when he broke out and escaped, he was not only anxious, but also had no medicine available.
Greenberg directly pulled out the feather arrow nailed to his eyeball, and also pulled out the eyeball. In order to avoid infection and to stop the bleeding, Greenberg burned his ax red.
, directly burned on the injured eye.
Although the bleeding was stopped and there was no infection, it left shocking scars on his eyes. Almost everyone would feel frightened when they saw the scars on his eyes.
After Greenberg and the other seven escaped, they also knew that they would not be able to stay in Valenti any longer, so they came to Brick and defected to Rochiel. Rochiel decisively took him in after hearing what happened to his good friend.
I met this good friend and the brothers who came with him.
Although at this time, many lords on Brick's side also received wanted letters from the Principality of Valenti, the relationship between the two countries has not been good in the past few years, and there are occasional small frictions at the border, so
No lord took it seriously.
It is precisely because of this situation that Greenberg and his six brothers who escaped from the Blue Mountains were able to live a normal life in the Principality of Brick.
But Greenberg never forgot the viscount's family who killed his wife. He and his family planned to return to Valenti to kill the viscount's eldest son, the new viscount Melkor, for his dead wife and brothers.
revenge.
In the past two or three years, in addition to self-cultivation, Greenberg also saved money. He planned to hire an elite team of mercenaries to help him complete this matter.
However, Rohirr also told him repeatedly that no mercenary group would take on the business of assassinating a noble. This was not allowed by their mercenary guild, and was also not allowed by the nobles of various countries in the entire Verin continent.
of.
Therefore, Greenberg wanted to drag Rochiel and the others to help him get revenge, but this would not be that easy. We all have families and families. Risking going to a foreign country for your personal revenge, or murdering the powerful Viscount, was too risky.
Big.
Except for the six brothers who came with Greenberg, almost no one agreed to this matter. Under this situation, Greenberg's temper became weird. Except for his daily work, he was very withdrawn.
, most of the time, I just stay in the corner in a daze.
Although Rohir felt sorry for his friend, there was only so much he could do to help him. He could only have a few more drinks with him, and leave the finances of their mercenary team to him to manage, through daily complicated matters.
He won't be trapped in painful memories every day.
After all, the more you hold something back, the more uncomfortable it will be for you, but you can't express your feelings to outsiders. It's better to find some trivial things to distract yourself, which can calm yourself down and calm your mind.
After listening to Rochiel's speech, Balian sighed and said to Rochiel: "Uncle Rochiel, I won't eat today's meal. Please advise Grimbor first. I'll come back in two days."
Come here, he is a difficult person, comfort him and comfort him." After saying that, Balian left with Gamgee and others.
Shortly after Balian and the others left, Olomi came back happily with the two brothers who were buying wine and food. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that Balian and the others were no longer there, and curiously asked Rochiel: "Boss, Sir Balian and the others
What? Didn’t you agree to eat and drink here tonight?”
Rochiel glared at him fiercely and reprimanded: "It's not the fault of you, a guy who always does bad things! Why did you tell Greenberg about this and let Greenberg come here to make a fuss?
Can Ser Balian still dine and drink with them here?"
Oromi, who was scolded by the boss Rohir, looked aggrieved. He muttered and explained: "I just said a few words when I asked him to get money. I didn't expect this result.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone directly to the tavern to get credit."
Luo Xier glanced at him with hatred, and shouted: "Get out of here! Don't appear in front of me for the next two days!"
Seeing that his boss Rohir was really angry, Oromi quickly put down what he was holding and ran out dejectedly.
The two people who followed Olomi in were also frightened by the boss's angry yelling. They hurriedly put down their things and ran out.
At this time, Balian and Gamgee were on their way back to their residence. Gamgee said to Balian with emotion: "Brother Balian, the situation of Greenberg is really pitiful. That Valenti's
Viscount, you have indeed gone too far."
Balian smiled helplessly, "On the continent of Verin, I'm afraid there are not a few people who have suffered like Greenberg, or even much worse than him."
After sighing with emotion, Balian asked Ganmuji: "Brother Ganmuji, you said that we are all the people of the God of Fire. Why can the nobles bully the common people, but the common people are unable to seek justice?"
Balian's question stunned Gamgee, but he soon answered with a smile: "I remember that we discussed similar things when we were in Sis Town. At that time, I couldn't
An answer that feels right to you.
To be honest, I can't give it now, but it is true that people should not be classified as high or low when they are born. Everyone should be equal. This is right.
However, this kind of situation can only happen in the Kingdom of Heaven. How can it happen in the human world? It has experienced so many changes over the years, but it has never changed."
Bran, who was following Balian, suddenly said: "Actually, they can go and rescue the priests. My mother told me that the priests are the messengers of the God of Fire in the world, and they will definitely be willing to help the suffering people.
"
"Hmph!" Huck sneered, "Count on those priests, even if you and your family's bones have been picked up by wild dogs, they won't help you. These guys only know how to collect money from the common people, and then talk to the nobles."
No matter how good the relationship is, most of them have never thought about helping ordinary people who are suffering."
After hearing what Huck said, Bran was a little unconvinced. He pouted and said, "Brother Huck, don't have such big opinions on the clergy. I believe most of them are good."
After Bran finished speaking, he looked towards Balian, wanting to seek Balian's support for his previous conclusion. He saw Balian looking at him with a smile and sighing heavily.
"At that time, when your family of four was being chased by the gangsters in the city of Amondine, why didn't your father take you to the church to take shelter? The Cathedral of Amondine is not far from you." Balian asked Bu.
orchid.
Bran was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he answered: "Sir, we actually went, but the priests at the door of the church saw our family of four coming in a hurry, and they were chasing us from behind.
The local bullies quickly closed the church door.
They completely ignored our family of four’s cries for help. Although my mother came to the church every week to pray and give alms in the church’s collection box, they would not remember and help us, kind-hearted ordinary people.”
Seeing Bran's listless look as if all his strength had been drained away, Balion said helplessly: "The good things are all said by the priests and cannot be seen in the world; the bad things are all in the world.
It was done, but not a word came out of the priests' mouths."
When Gamgee and the others heard Balian's words, their eyes widened immediately. They slowly savored the words. After a long while, Gamgee exclaimed: "That's wonderful, Brother Balian.
I really can’t believe this sentence coming from the mouth of a young man like you who thinks you are only a few months old before turning 20.”
Balian didn't want Gamgee and the others to regard him as an alien, so he had to move out his master again, Sir Logan, known as the "Sword of the Dawn". He responded to Gamgee: "Brother Gamgee,
Of course, these words are not what I said. These are the exact words my master Sir Logan told me.
To be honest, I don’t really have a good impression of these priests. After all, these people don’t do any work, but they live a life without worries about food and clothing. They also do some things that oppress good people. How can people treat them?
