Chapter 271 Victory, Control

Seeing a flock of crows flying towards her, Salil grabbed a javelin from a nearby woman.

After the javelin made of pure wood flew out, it turned into a tilted arrow and penetrated the six crows.

The crows did not disperse. These crows seemed to be controlled and flew down towards Lawrence desperately.

When Khalan saw this, he also took a javelin and threw it.

A flock of crows just flew over and some of them died.

After the crow approached, it stretched out its sharp claws directly towards Lawrence.

Lawrence realized that the target of these crows was himself, and quickly retreated under the protection of Sariel and Khalan.

The crows followed Lawrence and wanted to peck his eyes and face.

boom!
Khalan smashed his shield into the faces of a flock of crows!

These weak crows were quickly swatted to the ground by Kharan and Salil like flies.

Lawrence stood behind the Colossus and asked Sophia: "How is the situation?"

Sofia replied: "Those crows are flying! They are not following! The wild boar is blocked by Jumu! It is being penetrated by our people!"

Kehalan said in Chinese: "He is a wizard who can control crows, but he doesn't look very smart."

Lawrence held the iron sword and said: "It's not that we are not smart, but if we are not afraid, these crows and robbers will not be able to fight against the wind."

Sariel glanced outside and said, "Fries is approaching those people."

"Charge!" Lawrence ordered decisively, shouting in the language of barbarians: "Charge forward together! Kill those southern barbarians!"

The morale on Lawrence's side was already higher than that on the other side, and they were basically ready to die in battle.

A group of warriors who had experienced several battles quickly moved forward, picking up spears and polearms and moving forward separately.

Each team is like a pile of three stones spaced apart from each other.

The team of 100 people quickly formed an outflanking trend.

At this time, Count Sider shouted loudly: "Magic! Use your crows quickly to drive them away!"

The crow messenger quickly called back a group of crows and then rushed towards a soldier.

Sophia quickly shouted: "The crows are back!"

Standing near the Colossus, Lawrence quickly revealed his head to observe the situation in front, and clearly saw the surrounding military formation and the positions of Fleiss and others.

There was no need for Lawrence to command at all. The sling troops standing on the arms of the Colossus had already eliminated all the barbarians within range.

The last remaining Luofen Kingdom soldiers were already preparing to escape.

Crows flying down can chase a group of people who don't want to fight with them.

But in front of soldiers who are ready for death, it seems ridiculous.

The flying crow just touched the soldier's hair with its claws and was hit by an ax and a sword.

It would be a lot more troublesome to replace them with bees, but these crows are so big that they can easily be caught and thrown under their feet, and then trampled to death.

Fleiss quickly led the people to Earl Sider's side.

Earl Sider also discovered these people, "Aru! Kill these lowly savages!"

A man wearing a metal helmet and bronze armor rode out on a big wild boar, holding a 1.7-meter-long metal ax in his hand.

Aru looked at Fleiss and said condescendingly while riding on the big wild boar: "You can surrender, I allow you to be my servant."

Fleiss smiled and said, "I like your head better."

Aru lifted a long ax weighing more than 30 kilograms and put it on his shoulder. "I changed my mind. I will chop off your head."

Just as the two savages were getting ready for each other, Lawrence's order came from a distance.

"Fresh! Throw your axes at those people with your companions! Then retreat!"

Fleiss was unwilling to obey this order, but after seeing the soldiers 20 meters away raising the sling, he quickly understood the importance.

The sling troops are in groups of three, one person is responsible for throwing, one person is responsible for holding a shield to defend against javelins and axes, and one person prepares the rope for rotation.

Fleiss had dealt with these sling troops, and the men Lawrence had sent to make fortunes with these people before were specialized elites.

Seeing this, Fleiss did not dare to delay, and quickly threw the two axes in his hands towards the troops in front.

Barbarians are all good at throwing weapons, especially the most convenient axe. This skill does not require training.

The sharp ax flew out with great force and landed near the crowd along a beautiful parabola.

Aru quickly knocked down a few axes with his weapon, and Count Sider was also protected by the surrounding guards.

There were just two fewer people nearby.

"Kill them quickly!" Earl Sider discovered at this time that there was a clear gap in the number of people between the enemy and ourselves.

In particular, more and more villagers and soldiers are approaching. Although they have never encountered them before, it is like being surrounded by a group of rats!
"Don't be afraid! They have no magic! The colossus won't move either! It's all a lie! God is with us!"

Count Sidel ordered those around him not to be afraid.

The sling troops quickly broke through the situation physically. The screaming stones broke through the wind and hit the armor and leather armor of each knight like cannonballs.

Human heads, boar heads, shoulders, arms, weapons...

When the first round of stoning was over, only the last few personal guards, the magician and the berserker were left around Count Sider.

Aru jumped down from the wild boar that was trying to escape, raised his ax in both hands, and rushed out.

"Hahaha!"

The sharp and heavy ax directly cut the approaching soldier in half, and a large amount of blood spurted out on the ground.

Aru laughed wildly, took back the ax and slashed at the frightened man again.

The man's head was chopped off directly with a giant axe.

In two breaths, this man killed two soldiers!The other soldiers were on guard against this brave man.

When Salil saw this, she wanted to go up and fight this man.

Lawrence held Sariel's hand, stood up and shouted: "Charge! Charge forward! I'm here to watch, whose body and soul are as cowardly as they are, charge forward! Prove your bravery! Avenge your dead brothers!"

After hearing this, Aru shouted loudly: "Come on! Everyone who comes up will die!"

The man's threats did not scare these people, and soon someone rushed forward.

In this wide terrain, Arugang killed two more people and found that people from the other side were all standing around him.

"Count! Baron!" Aru quickly called to the troops who were supposed to be defending behind him.

But when he looked over, he saw that these people had been shot on the ground.

A group of villagers armed with hoes and spears stabbed the Earl down.

Aru couldn't see clearly what was going on over there, and the soldiers around him quickly slashed at his back with long swords.

clang~
Aru quickly took the long ax and swiped behind him.

A soldier was struck in the waist, and soon the body fell down hanging from the axe.

The others saw this and quickly grabbed his weapons.

More than a dozen men grabbed his weapon together, and more people pressed towards him.

Aru raised his hands to lift the weapon, but his body was hugged by a strong man and he fell to the ground.

More and more people pressed down on Aru's body, took away his weapons, and kept pounding down the mail that covered his body.

Aru's eyes were quickly pierced, his hair was torn out, his body was fixed to the ground and unable to move, his hands and feet were tied with ropes, or he was dragged brutally.

His helmet was quickly removed, as was his head.

When Lawrence stepped into this bloody battlefield, both the count and the wizard were dead. Except for a dozen fleeing knights who were captured alive, the rest were all destroyed.

People also died on Lawrence's side. Apart from some dead pigs and dead people, the biggest harvest was some clothes and armor.

The value of these armors is very high, enough to be exchanged for an ordinary manor.

Lawrence began to interrogate the fleeing knights.

"Where are you from?"

The knight raised his head and looked at Lawrence, and asked nervously: "I can be a slave here, as long as you don't kill me."

Lawrence said: "Look at your performance and tell me where you are from!"

"We are the people of Earl Sidel of Trantarhoof City."

Lawrence asked: "Why attack us?!"

The man replied: "The earl thought this was his territory, and borrowed a team of knights from the Duke of Tran Great Hoof City to rule here again."

The territory of Earl Stedel is between the towns of Trandahoe and Pumexiu, and belongs to the Earl of the Border.

According to the rules of the barbarians, if Count Valkyrie of the Ice Sea cannot rule this area, then it will naturally fall under the control of Count Sider who is closer to the interior.

"What happened to those crows?"

"It's a man from the south. He said he could help the count occupy this place."

Lawrence asked: "How many people are there in Sidel's territory?"

The knight answered carefully: "There are twenty knight territories in total."

Lawrence was not ignorant of the outside world. Several nobles near Pig Trotter City were still aware of it.

Twenty knight territories, including slaves and serfs, would probably be more than 4000 people.

More than [-] barbarians used to be concentrated in Pig Trotter City, but now most of them followed Luofen III to the Southern Kingdom.

Even if Luofen III dies, these people have no intention of coming back.

The barbarian kingdom is inherently barren and unfit for habitation. Luofen III is equivalent to a strong man elected by each tribe to lead everyone to a better place to survive.

It is said to be a kingdom, but in fact the concept of kingdom is not strong, it is more tribalism.

The weak pay tribute to the strong, and the strong lead the weak to make a fortune together.

It is equivalent to the ancient northern nomads. After the death of the nominal leader, everyone will fight for the inheritance and fall into civil strife.

At the same time, because there is no concept of country, the great lords and other nobles are very particular about who gets what, and they are also wary of each other, not wanting other people's armies to pass through their territory.

Lawrence thought about how to deal with this situation.

If they continue to fight, their men will not be able to control the larger earl territory.

At the same time, if you get too close to Pig Trotter City, you will be in danger.

It is so difficult to get from the manor to the town now. If the communication time in the territory is extended to a few days, there will be no time to mobilize troops for defense.

If a fight really breaks out, Pig Trotter City and the Valkyries will not go to the west to cause trouble.

If they start fighting, they will be besieged and the trade routes will be closed.

But if we kill the earl now, what will we do if we don’t fight him?
Lawrence thought for a while and finally decided: "I want to have soul communication with the Earl! Ask him about his wishes!"

Under the eyes of everyone in shock and awe, Lawrence placed the body of the fat earl in front of the colossus, and then chanted a spell that no one could understand.

No one but Lawrence knew what the hell he was reading.

After 10 minutes, Lawrence got up.

"You go back and tell the count's family that the count's soul has apologized to me and the gods, and I am willing to forgive him."

"The count's wish after his death is to maintain peace and not bring disaster to his family. Let the count's family come to welcome his body back. If the heir to that land does not come to receive God's blessing, I will not recognize his identity. !”
