Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Lord, where are we going to the next stop?”

Not far from Anke Village, Phyllis looked at the outline of the village that gradually moved away behind him , Asked Richard on horseback.

Richard was silent for a while, thought for a moment, took out the map drawn by parchment from the rucksack hanging on the side of the horse’s belly, held it out in his hand, and opened his eyes to Anke Village. , Glanced around again, and had an answer in his heart.

“Go to Dema Village.” He said.

Dema Village is a village with 248 villagers in the census two years ago. This village is the closest to the border under Richard’s rule and the most severely harassed by heretic, so , The local villagers under the leadership of a Knight named Amy Walker built a wooden fence around the village to slow down the attack progress of the bandits. Apart from this, he took the villagers to the north of the village and approached him. A small wooden fort was built on the manor to accommodate the refugees.

speaking of which, this Knight named Amy Walker is also the only Knight with a vibe under Viscount Noel. It is said that this is because he saved the life of the Viscount in a battle. As a result, the grateful Viscount conferred as Knight. The Viscount himself originally had several knights that had no vibes, but after the death of the Viscount, these knights all went their separate ways.

But that’s what it says. Richard doubts the authenticity of this incident. If Walker really saved Viscount Noel’s life, then he should seal Walker’s beloved close to him. The place is right, instead of sealing him in the most dangerous place near the border, so Richard thinks there may be something tricky in this.

……

After taking a rest in the middle of the night, the Richard entire group finally came to the outskirts of Dema Village just before noon on the 2nd day. However, this village is here. The situation at the time does not look optimistic.

Many parts of the wall protecting Dema Village were damaged or were torn down. From time to time, several corpses in different clothes could be seen outside the village. The tower behind the wall was also burned down. The remaining half is dark ruins.

“What happened here?” The Empire double-edged spearman Eddie cried out in surprise. Not only him, but the soldiers around him were surprised, but after a brief surprise, they all Made a posture of preparation.

“Stop the formation and move forward slowly.”

Richard ordered the soldiers, and then slowly approached the wall under the protection of the soldiers who formed a small circle. A few meters away, there was a corpse in a short fur robe with an arrow in the chest. Without waiting for Richard’s order, Phyllis took the initiative to leave the circle, walked to the corpse, and squatted down to observe for a while. After a while, he stood up again and walked towards Richard.

“Lord, the dead person seems to be from Berry.” He browses slightly wrinkle and said to Richard.

“The Bailey?” Richard complexion sank, the Bailey who can appear here and attack the village, besides the gang of horse bandits who come and go, who else?

However, Richard has already maimed the Bloodskin Warriors. There shouldn’t be horse bandits who dare to be active here.

Richard only thought for a while before putting down the doubts in his heart for a while, he waved his hand to let the soldiers continue into the village.

At this time, the village was very quiet, and there was no trace of human activity at all. Richard did not relax his vigilance because of this, until the soldiers all walked into the village along the collapsed gap and saw that there was indeed no one. , He let the soldiers touch the circle, and walked towards the depths of the village in pairs.

You can still see the corpses in a pool of blood inside the wall. Judging by their outfits, many of these corpses should be villagers in Dema Village, and only a few are shellfish with exotic styles. Lima bandit, Richard also noticed that some of the villagers’ corpses were also wearing simple leather armor, and they were still holding weapons such as lance short blade in their hands.

Look at the buildings in the village again. The wooden gates basically showed signs of being forcibly opened from the outside. Richard turned over and got off his horse, approaching one of the farm tools with Phyllis, through the wide opening. He could see the furnishings inside the house in chaos, and the earthenware pots and other utensils were randomly smashed, and the ground was full of debris, but no dead bodies or blood stains were found. If he wanted to come to this house, he should have escaped long ago.

“They are it possible that they all fled to a nearby wooden fort?”

Richard touched his smooth chin as he thought.

After a while, the soldiers who went out for inspection came back one after another. The reports they brought were exactly the same. There was nothing left in the entire village except private individuals, but one group of soldiers reported Said that the north gate of the village was opened, and densely packed horseshoe prints and human footprints could be seen on the ground, which looked messy.

Listening to the information that the soldiers said, Richard was even more sure of his guess. The villagers seemed to have indeed fled to the nearby wooden fort.

……

“Heretic is still surrounding us outside.”

At the same time, the wooden castle outside several dozen li north of Dema Village Inside, Amy Walker, who looked tired, asked the sergeant who was standing on his side.

“Yes, sir, they are still besieging us outside.” The young Hu Cong’s face was stained with blood, and he was obviously at odds with his still slightly immature face, “They are still cutting down trees, It looks like I want to make a ladder or a siege hammer.”

“Damn heretic!” Walker rubbed his eyes, cursing, stood up from the simple camp bed, and Hu Cong quickly stepped forward to help He organized his messy attire to make him as decent as possible.

When the guards were finished, Walker took the lead to walk out of the only one house in the wooden castle. As soon as he walked out of the house, the slightly dazzling rays of light made him squint his eyes and raised his hand to cover his head. .

After a while, after his eyes adjusted to the light in front of him, he slowly let go of his eyes and put down his hands. From his position, he can get all the things inside the wooden castle under his eyes. From Dema Almost all the villagers who escaped from the village are here. They are all lying on the messy pile of weeds with a look of despair on their faces. Some people are still kneeling on the open space in the middle of the wooden fort, praying to God, hope The divine ability is enough to save them from here.

On the log wall of Mubao which is only three or four meters high, a dozen people with weapons are standing on it and looking at the enemies outside. Not everyone has armor. Only a few people wear leather armor that’s all.

These people with weapons are the guards in Walker Manor and the militias in Dema Village. Their numbers should have been larger, but the militias either died when they were attacked or they were evacuating. He died on the way, and when he evacuated here, only these people were left.

Fortunately, there are only 20 or 30 Berry bandits who are besieged outside, and their defensive pressure is not too great at present.
