Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

The battle that took place at Gamma Erdan was almost one-sided to Richard. Not only did his soldiers have a larger number of soldiers, but their combat literacy was not comparable to those of militias lacking military training. Soon after the battle, the militia forces that had killed several people were directly defeated.

After the defeat of the militia, the entire village was placed under Richard’s control. He immediately ordered the soldiers to gather the villagers and ordered the villagers to hand over all the food and materials they had stored.

Faced with the fierce Valandia soldiers who surrounded them and the bloody sword lance in their hands, the villagers trembled and reluctantly returned to their homes. , Move the stored food and materials out.

At first, there were some villagers with a fluke mentality, and wanted to give them less leakage and leave more to themselves, but the soldiers who supervised them were not fools. After discovering the behavior of some of the villagers, they got Richard’s advice. They drew their swords to kill them on the spot, and the splashing blood immediately stunned the other villagers, and made them frightened to disperse Cao Si.

After killing a few people, the villagers paid an unprecedented rate of food delivery. A large amount of grains, butter, cheese, and grapes were moved out. The barrels of wine stored in the shade were also taken by Richard. Soldiers found that he would not take these wines back, but put them directly into the item column, ready to take them to the main world.

After all the food was moved out, Richard asked the soldiers to break in and search from house to house, in accordance with the principle of the soldiers passing through. This search unexpectedly found a lot of food. Not surprisingly, those villagers who kept food at home were all beheaded in public, warn others from following bad examples.

After confirming that there was no food left, Richard asked the soldiers to supervise the villagers to load the food into the forced carriage, and then led the team to leave the village.

He doesn’t care how the villagers should deal with the next cold winter after the food is gone. The only thing he cares about is whether he can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

After leaving Gamma Erdan, Richard led the team eastward to the village of Serekto. This village also stands beside a small bay in Sharas Bay, but the place is affected by the hot south wind. The wind and the moisture of the mountain springs were experimentally planted by the landlords of date palms. Because of this, Richard saw several circles of date palm trees planted around the village from a distance.

Looking at the mature date palms that are being picked by the villagers, Richard knows that there will be a good harvest this time, so he handed over the command to Khalid and let him command the army instead of himself Launched an offensive, but he himself took a few soldiers to stay and watched these carriages.

Compared with Gamma Erdan, the defensive power of Serektor Village is not at all more brilliant, and even their vigilance is lower than the former, until Richard’s soldiers are almost at the entrance of the village. At that time, the villagers reacted in horror-it was too late.

Faced with the attack of the fully armed soldiers, Serektor’s militia didn’t even have time to assemble. They could only gather together with other villagers in the open space in the center of the village under the threat of sword long spear. Khalid demanded to surrender all the food they had stored.

The villagers are naturally unwilling, but they all know the truth of a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Under the threat and surveillance of the soldiers, they reluctantly Hand over all the stored grain and install the few carriages in the village.

There are also the dates that have not been picked from the date palm trees. Although Richard wants to take them away, he should not stay here for too long. Selekerto Village Close to the front line, the troops of the Western Empire may pass through here at any time, and avoiding fighting is in his current interests.

So Richard could only give up picking those dates, but he didn’t plan to leave it to the people of the Western Empire, so in the angry eyes of the villagers, the soldiers would search for the fire oil from the village. Spoiled it on the trunk of the date palm, set it on fire, and then swayed away with spoils of war.

After they left, the villagers screamed and searched for wooden barrels and other containers for water, trying to put out the fire before the date palms were burned. How could a fire caused by kerosene be so easy? They were extinguished. Every bucket of water they poured out made the flames soar. The villagers also found desperately that the more they wanted to put out the fire, the bigger the fire became.

Richard naturally knows what will happen to the villagers if he sets fire to the date palm trees, but he still thinks he is benevolent. Look at other nobles who killed people directly when they burned the village. Those who rob things, his act of killing less people is already very kind, and those villagers should be grateful to themselves.

……

After grabbing food from the two villages, Richard led the army all the way north, preparing to join the main force of King Deterre, Legion, but they were only halfway there. There was already a cloud of smoke on the road ahead, and Richard could see through the smoke that several red battle flags were shaking from side to side.

“Stop marching!”

Richard lifted his right palm and ordered the soldiers behind him, the soldiers hearing this immediately stopped the marching movement, and made a posture of combat readiness, Watching all around vigilantly.

“Captain, something is wrong in front.” Khalid on his side lowered his voice and said to Richard. He knew at a glance that the team in front holding the red flag seemed to be Being chased by the forces behind him.

“Yeah.” Richard had a serious expression and responded with his nose, and then ordered: “Let the soldiers prepare for battle, we may have a big battle.”

“Yes.” Khalid promised, then he pulled out his sword and ordered the soldiers behind him: “Pull up the carriage and form a shield formation!”

His voice fell, and the soldiers hurriedly moved the carriage. Gathered up, and then past Richard and Khalid, under the defensive shield wall in front of them, the shooters automatically stood on both sides of the shield wall, filled with ammunition, and were ready to shoot.

As they lined up, the army in the smoke and dust finally revealed their faces. It really belonged to the army of the kingdom of Valandia. They held up the five petals of the Dai Cortan family. Flower banners, everyone’s body was stained with blood, and many people had nothing in their hands. They looked back from time to time, as if there was some terrible existence chasing them.

In front of this broken army, several cavalry guarded a young silhouette that Richard had seen and fled in embarrassment. They saw an army also holding the flag of the Kingdom of Vallandia on the road ahead. , It was like seeing a savior, and even desperately running towards Richard.

“Altamond? What happened?”

Looking at the panic-stricken soldier, Richard couldn’t help but furrow his brows. This posture doesn’t look right. ……
