Warhammer Throne

Chapter 297: , Dark bread and prosperity

With a strong spirit, Raymond took his mother and pulled his younger brother on the road again, and the family of three walked for more than an hour in the direction of the golden armor giant.

The sky came at noon, and there was a loud noise in front of him. Raymond was cautiously hiding behind the tree and looked around, then he was scared and shrunk.

There is a war in the forest! A group of hundreds of human soldiers are fighting a tribe of beastmen.

This is actually not surprising. In this dark world, war is always indispensable.

What really surprised Raymond was that the human army was actually fighting against the beastmen. These human troops did not have a little fear when facing the beastmen. On the contrary, they were even more ruthless and irritable than the beastmen. Breastplates, elite soldiers armed with spears and halberds pushed forward collectively, hordes of crossbowmen kept shooting arrows, hundreds of swordsmen bravely confronted the beastmen under the command of the sergeant, and even many knights and knights The followers are involved.

"For Lady! For Count Lane! For Countess Surya!"

The beast-man tribe was beaten, and the beasts and bad horns retreated one after another. The human swordsmen were advancing. They were slaughtering the beast-man under the protection of the pikemen and halberd soldiers. Thirty percent, with the addition of several knights and dozens of knights, the morale of the Orc has fallen to the bottom.

"Bertrand! Solve the Beastmaster!" The leader knight shouted in the human army.

"Yes!" A sergeant in full green tights, wearing chain mail and smocks should be loud, he was wearing a green triangle cap, the flower on the cap was a beautiful white feather, heard the knight's The sergeant immediately responded to the order, and he took two arrows from the arrow barrel behind him, and then pulled apart forcefully.

A big bow was pulled into a full moon.

Is he going to shoot here? He is at least one hundred and fifty steps away from that beastmaster! Raymond opened his mouth wide. The effective range of a normal serf archer is actually about 30 to 80 steps.

"Eh!" The arrow cut through the forest, and the beastmaster, who was commanding the resistance of the Orc tribe, raised his head. His left eye was directly penetrated by the arrow, and the crazy pain made it scream back.

"Huh!" An arrow followed the hole through its right eye, and the beast king that had just been selected finally howled and fell to the ground.

"Nice!" The morale of the beastman collapsed. Several knights turned their horses. They rode and charged. More than a dozen knights followed them. The knight's charge knocked the beastmen away, and was divided and annihilated.

"A very strong army ..." Raymond swallowed. He was fortunate in his heart. If the army of the Holy Grail Knight Count Lane was so powerful, at least the security of the territory could guarantee that the serfs would not be afraid of the security and the bandits.

Out of prudence and care, the Raymond family waited for a while, and after the army left after cleaning the battlefield, the family continued to act.

This road is much easier to walk, can accommodate four horses side by side, the road rammed with solid soil is paved from the forest, Raymond vowed that this road is the best road he has traveled.

The bread was finished. Fortunately, this kind of road was not difficult to walk. Even the old mother who was about to walk could barely move. Thomas behind them was pulling Raymond's clothes. They were exhausted.

There were guards and outposts on the road, and according to the previous command of the golden armor giant, Raymond only said that he had fled, not from where, or from which principality.

The serf remained alert.

Sure enough, the guards did not embarrass them. After careful examination and cross-examination, they were confirmed to be humans and fled serfs, and they were sent to the sentry post.

There were dozens of people standing densely outside the sentry post. Obviously, most of them were serfs who fled. Individuals were merchants. They complained that there were a few people who were not like merchants, but also not like serfs. Requirements.

"Your name is Raymond? They are all your family members?" A sergeant was carrying a crossbow behind his back, a long sword hanging around his waist, wearing chain mail and a robe,

It looks great! Raymond looked deeply envious.

Being promoted to a sergeant and becoming a free man is the lifelong dream of serfs.

"Yes, yes, I am Raymond, this is my younger brother, this is my mother, we are from the north, we ca n’t live anymore, we have to flee here, I beg you to take care of these poor people, please! Raymond quickly bent over and smiled at the gentleman sergeant.

"It's from the north again? How come there are so many fugitive slaves from the north recently." The sergeant looked a little strange, he looked at the family's dismal face and smiled, "There are a lot of difficulties on the way? See you It ’s not easy to escape here! "

"Yes! Yes! Ms. bless! Ms. bless!" Raymond said quickly.

"Okay, it's okay to flee here. We are from the Xialong Forest Patrol Camp. You can rest assured that it is safe here and welcome outsiders like you. As long as you do things well and work hard, you don't have to worry about being fed." The sergeant continued: "But if you dare to break the law, the only ending will be hanged!"

After that, the sergeant waved his hand: "Take them down to check and clean up!"

"Yes!" The infantry of several infantry regiments took Raymond and others with them. They grabbed the family roughly, cut their messy hair with a knife and scissors, and then took them to take a bath and changed their bodies. Ordinary burlap clothes.

Raymond and others are afraid of being killed and can only silently follow everyone's arrangement.

Many people, really many people, at least dozens of people are waiting!

The serf noticed that the merchants escorted the goods through the sentry post, and they were not inspected in this way, but they had to pay taxes.

The sergeant asked the infantry to check again, and confirmed that there were no strange spots or extra limbs on the Raymond family, and they were generally healthy.

One person took a bowl of gruel, then lined up and walked while eating.

"What are we doing?" Raymond asked the man in front of him who was not like a serf.

"Wait for the bus, ah, Tal's teeth! Why are there so many people now! Waiting for the bus to wait for a long time." The man in front complained: "I am not a fugitive, but I have to wait with the fugitive!"

Raymond didn't dare say more when he saw it.

After waiting for an hour or so, they were finally lined up. There were more than a dozen double-horse four-wheeled uncovered carts, each of which could seat eight people, and Raymond and others also followed.

"Okay, you can pass, and follow the road. After about three hours, you will leave the forest and see the village. When you get there, you will ask a little bit how to get there. Naturally someone will show you the way, and there are also roads. Signage. "The sergeant nodded, indicating that the Raymond family could go.

It took another few hours. In the afternoon, the family finally walked out of the forest. The carriage unloaded these people and returned immediately.

The scenery outside the forest left the whole family stunned. The lush fields were covered with farmland. The clear water channel led the river from the Chinon River. The tall waterwheel continuously turned along the stream. In the farmland, the serfs held On the trouser legs, harvested into pieces of winter wheat, the broad avenue is paved with stone slabs, people are walking on the road, a huge windmill is turning, looking around, and there are no lazy people in the countryside, which is completely different from the north.

The clear bells resounded inside the village. The exterior of the village used wood and stone to build a strong high wall, which is more than three meters high, which is a height that makes Raymond feel at ease.

Fences and fences that are at least one metre taller than in the original village are more reassuring.

The guards were refreshed. They stood upright, wearing helmets, holding lances, hanging breastplates, and watching the distance. On the road, a handsome knight master was gorgeously dressed, riding a tall horse, proudly. Walking across the avenue, two horses and some pheasants hung behind his warhorse, marching forward and back after several knights slain, everyone was riding horses, hanging prey, talking about this loudly How much was gained by hunting, praise the fairy in the lake.

Where the old knight passed by, the serfs stopped their hands and bowed to pay tribute. It could be seen that these serfs really worshipped and respected the old knight. The old knight felt good for himself. He took one from the back of the horse. Pheasant, threw it on the ground: "I'm merciful to you! Whoever robs you!"

"Giggle ~" The pheasant was untied, dropped to the ground, and ran around the ground. Many serfs laid down their hands and rushed to fight for the pheasants. After a sturdy serf snatched it, The other serfs gave up the scramble and laughed and scolded the man's good luck. They returned to their respective positions and continued to do farm work.

This was placed in their village, and the serfs had to grab their heads and bleed their blood. Lei Meng thought that the knights in the south seemed to be more approachable. If there was a serf greeting, they would nod and respond. The serfs worked very hard, unlike their own villages. I don't want to work lazily, anyway, how much I finally received is the lord lord.

Several horse-drawn carriages were advancing on the avenue, which was filled with grains. At the same time, some carriages were used to carry passengers. The coachmen waited for the passengers at the gate of the town. This kind of carriage is much more luxurious. Not only the carriage, but also the paint brush It must be beautiful and colorful.

Should this be for the rich? Seems business is good?

Near the village, groups of children are playing under the leadership of a mercy goddess priest. The priest of the mercy goddess looks more than 40 years old. Twenty or thirty children are pulling her sleeves and skirts around her In circles and games, the fields were full of laughter and laughter. The female priest took the opportunity to teach the children to believe in Ms. Saliya, and broke two noodles for the children to eat.

Many children! Can people here afford so many children? Raymond thought in surprise.

It was afternoon, and it was getting closer to the night. A cold wind blew across the field. Raymond shuddered. The family was tired and hungry. They walked tiredly and gradually approached the village.

Raymond tried to say to a serf who was harvesting wheat on the roadside: "Hello, gentleman, how can I get to the office?"

The serf's skin showed a wheaten color because of frequent sun exposure. He wore a straw hat and the animal skin clothes were thick, at least Raymond looked warm, and the serf's figure was firm. His face looked ruddy and healthy. When he saw someone asking for directions, he dropped the sickle: "Listening to your accent, is it from the north?"

"Well, we came from the north, our family was hit by disasters, and we couldn't pay taxes, so we fled. I heard that the days in the south would be better, so I wanted to find some work." Raymond squeezed out a smile, he had Concealed.

"Oh, like this, welcome to Hongyu Village, has the north been hit by disaster recently, how come the northerners have come recently." The serf didn't care about this, he first looked at hiding in Raymond Behind him, Thomas, who was pulling his clothes, looked at the old mother who was exhausted and standing unsteadily, and then said: "My name is Bono, it is really a coincidence, it is getting dark, you are now hurrying To the town of Jean, the city gate will also be closed. You have no time to enter the city. If you do n’t want to abandon the ground, rest in the wood house of my house at night. You can enter the city to the monastery the next morning. There are signs on the road. "

"That's really grateful!" Raymond quickly thanked.

How rich is the south than the north? Raymond noticed that the barn was filled with winter wheat, and the nearby houses were full of strong stone houses. Everyone ’s face was very beautiful, overflowing with the joy of harvest, every family kept chickens and ducks, and even the farmland could be seen. Many cattle were found, some of them had goats inside, and bacon and fish were hanging outside the house. When it was time for dinner, cooking smoke rose from every chimney.

Quiet and peaceful village view.

The firewood room was cleanly packed with piles of firewood, straw beds and blankets.

"Brother, brother, I'm so hungry!" Thomas whispered out of time.

Raymond looked at his bag in embarrassment, and only half of the black bread remained.

It seems that the grain will be cut off.

"You have traveled a long way from the north? Hard work, come and have something to eat!" Bono came in with five dark breads and a pot of soup: "Thank you Earl, thank you Countess, thank you Madam, it's your luck to escape here. "

"Oh! No! We can't eat!" Raymond was startled and quickly shook his hand, five dark breads, and a pot of soup cooked with vegetables and flour. These meals were enough for four or five days at their home!

"Hey? Why not eat?" Bono apparently did not understand the situation. He strangely placed the bread basket and a pot of soup, a few wooden bowls and spoons in front of the Raymond family: "Escape so far, you should I do n’t have anything to eat? It ’s okay. I gave it to you. Eat. I ’m going to the city tomorrow, and we ’ll go together. ”

"No, everyone pays taxes to the lord lord, how can we eat your rations for several days? No, we will deal with it as soon as possible." The old mother quickly shook her head, and she knew the serfs. How difficult it is to keep some rations ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Escape is their own fault, how can they affect others again?

"Huh?" Who knew Bono was even weirder. The serf first looked at Raymond and his old mother, and then looked at Thomas, who was already drooling, and said: "Wake up, what time is this?" ? "

"Lord Earl has been here for five years! Now who would be missing a few pieces of brown bread?"

"???

"There are a lot of black bread in the house, and it is moldy when it is left. Really, I also plan to go into the city with you tomorrow and go to the city to sell some vegetables. The children at home have been clamoring to eat meat. It ’s time to buy some meat. "

"????????

"Okay, let's eat ~ Yankees are rare and weird." Bono's face couldn't help but he put the things down: "You eat first, I'm going back to see my five children ~" I want to be more like-minded People chat about "Warhammer", and WeChat pays attention to "hot web or" and more favorite friends to talk about favorite books
