Chapter 25, Fields Outside the Village-Farmers and Cavalry Kiel
After a while, Kiel walked out of the hotel with his armor covered in blood. The militiamen had already entered the hotel one after another. They would go to the second floor. Like the previous archer, they would use the guest rooms on the second floor to suppress attacks facing the center of the village. enemy.
Letting the blood flow on the armor, Kil took a few steps and came to Knight Crow who was riding forward.
Mr. Hubirok covered his eyes fiercely with his hands, not even daring to look at what Kil looked like at this time.
Several militiamen on guard around them also looked shocked. They did not expect that Kiel, a young man who usually fought with them, turned out to be such a powerful killing warrior.
Knight Crow was very satisfied, and he asked: "How many?"
Kil opened his helmet visor, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air. Although the air here still smells of death and blood, it is at least much better than in the hotel.
He lowered his visor again and opened his eyes: "Reporting to your lord, there are a total of sixteen enemies in the hotel. One middle-aged man in black ran away and killed all the other fifteen."
The smile on the corner of Knight Crow's mouth became even more satisfied: "Very good, now there are twenty-three people. Tonight's test is almost half completed. Well, I saw the person who escaped. It doesn't matter. He escaped like that. This guy probably won’t take part in tonight’s battle again. After tonight’s battle is over, the remaining wandering enemies can be handed over to the Gulov family to put bounties on them.”
"Yes, yes, there are many mercenaries in the town who want to make money. Before, there were many people in the Ska Chamber of Commerce, so this trick didn't work very well, but as long as we defeat them, there will be many people who want to make money in Ska. Some flesh and blood were torn from the Chamber of Commerce’s body.”
Mr. Hubirok quickly answered.
"Kiel, next you have to support our rear. There is an enemy outflanking team coming from behind. The militiamen I arranged there have now engaged with them. There are many people on the other side. Remember to protect ours first. people."
Knight Crow then handed over a new mission.
"Yes, sir. But I discovered this from the archer who shot arrows to stop us in the hotel just now, and that man also had some very strange abilities."
After speaking, Kil took out something from his waist, which was an animal statue amulet stained with plasma.
Knight Crow ignored the blood on it and took it from Kil's hand.
He carefully took it in his hand, groped for it, and said, "I can feel something on it, but I can't see it clearly. But this thing is not ordinary. You can let the priests accompanying the army take a look later." . They must know this stuff very well. You can keep it yourself for what you fought so hard for."
Keir took the animal statue that the knight threw back to him.
"Okay, the situation is urgent, go and support the people behind. I will be here to watch your performance."
"Yes sir!"
Kil made a fist with his right hand and hit his chest, saluted, and then ran quickly towards the way they came.
Only then did Mr. Hubirok dare to look at him from behind Keir. Looking at the tattered cloak soaked in blood, he swallowed and shuddered violently.
"Lord Knight Crow, where did you find such a young man? Not counting Pine Needle Town, he has killed more than twenty people in this village alone? He is really powerful and cruel."
Knight Crow patted his horse's neck with his hand, and the steel gloves and steel vest made a crisp knocking sound: "A young man who has lost his memory. Maybe losing his memory is not a bad thing, at least he will not be bound by the past."
He ignored Hubi Luoqi's words beside him and whispered something to himself.
-
Kil quickly came to the gate of the village with his long sword in hand.
Overhead, several militiamen in the guard tower were using crossbows from a distance to support their companions fighting in the fields outside the village.
Kiel looked around with the few torches around and found that the situation was obviously not good. There were only five militiamen lying on the ridges in the fields and shooting with crossbows, while the opponents had at least a dozen people surrounding them from more scattered places, and before them With loud calls for friends, more and more people ran out of other gates in the village.
But the good news is that the opponent has basically no long-range projectile weapons. There is only a slingshot and a thing like a large slingshot to shoot stones in return.
These things are fine against unarmed farmers. The militiamen all have leather and wooden helmets and half-armours. They have basic protection on important parts of the body, and they are not afraid of counterattacks from their opponents.
But once a close encounter occurs, the opponent's advantage of having more people will explode.
The situation is urgent.
Kil thought for a moment and whistled.
Then, from the direction of the village near the hills, his horse came running over at a trot.
The blood on Kiel's body made his horse a little scared and they didn't dare to come near. Kiel took the initiative and walked over and grabbed the reins around the horse's neck.
Sheathing his sword and turning over to climb up, Kil took out a wooden-handled spear from behind the horse, held it in his hand, felt it for a while, then used a shield and a spear in one hand, lightly knocked the horse's belly and rushed forward.
"I'm Keir! Be careful not to cum on me!"
Kiel shouted a few words to draw the attention of his companions on the sentry tower behind him, and then jumped from the road into the dark wheat field, stepping straight through the thriving wheat field to the nearest surrounding area on the left. The enemy rushes.
"Lulu, lulu!"
Kiel's horse felt strangely stepping on the fields that were usually not allowed to be stepped on. The soft ground made it easy to run. Kiel, who was on horseback, held the middle and rear part of the spear with his right hand, and then held the tail of the spear tightly under his arm.
He tried his best to imitate the appearance of Knight Lanissa when fighting on horseback. Although it was unfamiliar, at least it looked decent.
The horses galloped and rushed to the enemy's side in an instant.
After getting closer, Kil finally saw what the enemies were.
He is not a thug from the Ska Chamber of Commerce or a Chamber of Commerce guy.
It can be seen at a glance that after all, working for the Ska Chamber of Commerce still earns a certain amount of money, so he will not be dressed in such rags.
His messy hair was tied together with a piece of dirty cloth, and he was only wearing a rather thin linen garment, as were his trousers, which were only fixed around his waist with a straw rope.
In their hands, they were holding a long piece of wood with a piece of metal fixed on the top. It didn't look like a weapon, but more probably just a piece of wood they used for farming.
There were no boots or shoes on their feet, and they were mostly barefoot. They were careful not to step on the wheat seedlings in the fields, and glared at Keir who was trampling the fields with his horse.
But their expressions soon changed, and panic and fear instantly climbed onto their wrinkled faces like ditches when they saw Kiel clearly.
These 'enemies' are all men, and they are not young. Most of them are middle-aged people who have married and have children. Most of the young people have not appeared.
Kiel didn't know whether he was not allowing the young people at home to participate in tonight's battle, or whether all the young people in the village had gone to the village center to support him.
When Kiel came riding on horseback with a spear, the farmers immediately turned around and shouted: "Run! There is a knight! There is a knight! Ah!"
Before the nearest farmer could finish shouting, he was chased by Kiel from behind. The downward-pressing spear, controlled by his clenched arms, accurately hit the back of the farmer who turned to run away.
This was the first time he hit a human with a spear while riding a horse, and it felt amazing.
It was not like standing on the ground and wielding a long sword to kill the enemy. After all, he did not swing a weapon during the whole process. He just used the speed and impact of the horse to use the spear head to drive past a target whose flesh was mixed with water.
The metal spearhead easily penetrated the farmer's back, pierced his chest, and came out from the front.
The opponent suddenly lost his strength and fell down, and as Kiel passed by, he quickly turned the spear in his hand, with the tail of the spear in front and the head of the spear behind.
Then with a pop, the spear head was pulled out from the farmer who fell to the ground.
The farmer lay prone in the wheat field he cherished like a water bag that had been pierced, with large streams of blood gushing out from the wounds on his chest and back. His eyes, which could hardly see clearly at night, were staring closely at the erect wheat seedlings in front of him.
"It's great. This year, there will definitely be a bumper harvest. Ho ho, ho ho. I'm sorry, it's overwhelming. These wheat--"
Muttering this, he lost his life.
The blood flowing from the wound watered the growing food.
"'Rat Head'! 'Rat Head'! How are you? Answer me!"
Another farmer nearby shouted at the dead farmer, but there was no response. It left him panting, anger overriding the fear of facing a cavalry or knight.
When it came to his own business, he didn't care about anything else and went straight towards the red-armored enemy on horseback to kill him.
Of course, he was still careful not to step on the wheat seedlings in the field.
-
After Gere stabbed a farmer to death on horseback, he walked some distance further, slowed down, turned the horse's head, and then accelerated again.
He originally wanted to make a graceful arc like Knight Lanisa and continue to attack from another direction, but it was difficult for him to control the stupid horse under his crotch. Even if he pulled the reins hard, this guy wouldn't be able to control it. Instead of running in an arc, it slows down and then turns around.
There was no other way, so Kiel had no choice but to speed up the attack again in such embarrassment.
He saw a farmer holding his farm tools high and screaming like he was killing a pig, hitting him.
But he only pulled the reins slowly. When the speed was not fast, his horse finally turned slowly and in accordance with his wishes, inserting itself diagonally into the circle of these people.
It was said to be an encirclement. In fact, after Kiel rushed out on horseback, most of these farmers had already strode away to where they came from. However, they did not really escape, but gathered around one person.
Kiel ignored the enemies on the left and aimed at the three farmers on the right. He lowered his spear and gripped it tightly. He directly shot the first farmer on the shoulder, bringing out a large amount of flesh and blood. Then Kiel held it firmly. Tighten the spear, stabilize the weapon, and lower it again.
He pulled the reins as far back as he could to slow the horse down, giving him more time to prepare for attacking the farmer.
The second farmer raised his weapon and wanted to hit Kil, but Kil just waved his spear. When they passed each other, the spear directly knocked the farmer's farm tools away from the distance.
"Ah! My stuff!"
The farmer seemed to have lost an important treasure. With his hands numb, he realized that his farm tools had been blown away. He immediately ignored everything and crouched down in a panic to find where the farm tools had fallen in the wheat field.
Kil rushed to the third farmer, who held the farm tools firmly in his arms without resisting or running away.
He just stood there blankly, wanting to say something to Keir.
But before he could say anything, his head was swiped by Keir's spear, and he opened the ladle, and the contents were spread out to fertilize the fields.
Kiir slowed down at the edge of the field, raised his spear and waved it, and shouted to the militiamen on the opposite side of the field: "Follow me! Let's fight through!"
The five militiamen immediately climbed up from the field, put away their crossbows, picked up spears several meters long, and several of them gathered together and ran towards Kiel.
Turning the horse's head, Kier trampled on the wheat seedlings and ran past the farmer who was crouching down to look for farm tools. He pierced the man's back with his spear and dragged the farmer with him through the wheat field. After a few meters, Kil's backhand turned the spear and drew the weapon.
He rushed towards the farmer whose shoulder he had wounded, and while riding on his horse brandished his spear and knocked him to the ground with the shaft of his spear. Then he continued to rush out, and the man was stabbed to death with a spear from a distance by the oncoming militiamen in the field they cherished and loved.
-
Kil glanced at the situation while riding on horseback, and found that in this short period of time, the other farmers had gathered around a tall man who was dressed like a man from the Ska Chamber of Commerce.
Although these people were afraid of Kiel on horseback, they still formed a circle under the man's order, stretched out their farm tools, and slowly approached Kiel on horseback.
"Kill him! As long as you kill him, the enemy will definitely retreat! No one can take away the fields from the Ska Chamber of Commerce, and you don't want to accept the previous high taxes, right! Fight with our Ska Chamber of Commerce , the farmers participating tonight will be exempted from half of the grain they turn in this year! Half! Whoever can kill the horseman, his whole family can enter the chamber of commerce and live a life without worries about food and clothing!"
"Whoever can kill an enemy, within three years, their family's food will be at their own disposal! Three years! And they can choose the fields outside the village as they wish!"
"Did you hear that? If you heard it, rush to me!"
The guy surrounded by the crowd was shouting at the top of his lungs, waving his hands incitingly, and saying some words that made the farmers jealous.
Although everyone is afraid of the man in red armor riding a horse, there are so many of them. If they rush up and attack together, they will definitely kill him. After all, they usually fight like this when fighting for water in the village.
"Ahhhhh!"
A group of people gathered together and charged towards Kiel brandishing weapons, which was still a bit scary.
But he only made a slight detour and led these people closer to the village entrance.
Then, the five militiamen on the sentry tower saw that these enemies were gathered together. With a brief aim, they fired five crossbows.
Swish swish swish——
The few people who rushed closest to Kiel were shot directly. The guy whose hands and feet were injured fell to the ground all of a sudden, and was trampled on by the feet of his companions behind him. A guy who was shot in the chest rolled directly to the ground, holding the wound in pain, not knowing whether to pull out the crossbow arrow that hit the inside of his body.
Kil felt that the shield on his left arm was useless. These people could not catch up with his horse with their feet, so Kil directly put the shield behind him.
Then he pulled out the long sword with his left hand, but soon he felt a little uncomfortable, so he changed the long sword to his right hand, holding the long spear in his left hand.
"Stay where you are and watch me scatter these people! Then you can rush after me! Remember to protect yourself!"
Kil gave an explanation to the five militiamen who were following him, and then rushed towards the militiamen.
-
The crossbow arrows just now have somewhat scattered the gathered farmers. After all, some people hid left and right after the crossbow arrows were shot. Some people even hid behind their companions, making good plans.
The guy who was in command even directly captured a farmer and blocked him in front of him. Facing the angry farmer, he even promised benefits, and then he comforted the farmer and used him as his human shield.
Kil didn't dare to charge directly into the crowd. Although he was protected by iron armor, the horses under his crotches were not protected. Even if the tall horses were much more vitality than humans, he didn't dare to let him go with so many farm tools. horse to try.
Gere steered his horse slightly to the right and passed the farmers.
The spear kept colliding with the raised farm tools, crackling, and the tip of the spear destroyed the top parts of multiple farm tools in succession.
Some farmers looked at their farm tools with pity on their faces, and angrily picked up dirt and debris from under their feet and threw them at the enemies on horseback.
But nothing works.
Those thrown objects all landed behind the horses, and most of these farmers did not understand the issue of advance when throwing. He only focused on throwing clods of dirt at Kiel's current position, but he didn't know that when the clods of dirt were thrown over, Kiel had already moved forward on horseback.
Keel rushed past the farmers, slowing down, turning, and then speeding up again.
He then tackled the other side of the farmers this time.
There was still the clattering sound of spears and farm tools, but a farmer was too brave. After rushing out of the team, he hit Kiel on horseback.
Kir pressed down slightly to open the opponent's weapon, and then the spear was pulled from the opponent's head. Large pieces of hair and bloody scalp were swept by the edge of the spear, and were directly taken away from the farmer's head by the force.
"Ahhhh! It hurts!"
This guy was kneeling on the ground, wailing in pain.
Keir fought back and forth not far away, and this time he rushed directly towards the man.
A farmer wanted to pull his companion back into the team, but as soon as he took half a step, he was pulled back by others: "You don't want your life! Come back quickly! If he wants to be a hero, let him do it."
Then a low-pitched voice whispered in the ears of the farmer who wanted to save people: "And he is the only laborer in his family. His brother was taken away by the Ska Chamber of Commerce. He eats meat and drinks and has never called us. If he dies, won't his land be taken care of by no one? In two years, it won't all be ours."
The farmer thought that this was indeed the case, and then quietly took back the steps he had taken before. Like the others, he kept shouting loudly, and raised the farm tools in his hands high towards the outside, but every one No one took a step forward, but huddled within the 'safe zone' constructed by their own and other people's farm tools and bodies.
Even if this 'safe zone' is not very safe.
