Chapter 26, Defeat the Farmer and Breakthrough Attack

Keir noticed that no one went to save the farmer who bravely attacked, and felt that the farmers gathered together no longer had the aggressive ideas they had just now.

So he turned around and shot the farmer who was lying on the ground wailing first.

Kil pointed the long sword in his right hand towards the group of farmers, and then the white light flowed on the long sword. It did not emit a strong white light that could blind people. Instead, it projected a bright white light similar to a torch.

He himself knew that this thing had no use other than lighting, but the enemy didn't know that. The farmers were shocked by the white light emitted by Keir's long sword, and they all screamed and became frightened.

Some people couldn't hold on to the farm tools in their hands, and some people moved slightly behind them. Even the guy from the Ska Chamber of Commerce who was in charge couldn't tell what was going on with the white light emitted by Kil's weapon, and he panicked. , the originally eloquent mouth also stuttered.

"No, don't be afraid, then, that's nothing!"

But if he doesn't believe it himself, how can he have the trust to let others work for him?

Some farmers regretted it and hid with the rest of the family if they had known better. Even if they could only passively accept the outcome of the battle while hiding in the cellar, it would still be better than losing their lives in vain.

No one likes to choose a losing side.

Kil accelerated his horse, holding the spear tightly in his left hand, and the long sword in his right hand projected an inverted cone of white light, which made the farmers on the opposite side unable to open their eyes at all.

‘Am I a high-beam dog? ’ He thought so absurdly in his heart.

But his hand did not relax.

The horses once again passed by the farmers, but this time they did not encounter their more tenacious resistance. The spear passed directly through the sparse resistance and pierced a farmer directly, taking the other person out of the crowd and ruthlessly killing him. He was thrown to the ground by the spear. After thrashing twice, he couldn't stop the blood from the big hole in his shoulder that was pierced by the spear.

The farmer wanted to return to the crowd, but as he staggered toward the others, he found that his original companions were all walking backwards away from him, and each one looked behind him in horror.

The farmer frowned and turned around to look behind him, only to see a patch of white light coming his way, and then he lost consciousness.

-

Keir poked the injured farmer in the face with his spear, and then used the power of the horse to throw the man on the spear directly into the crowd of other farmers.

This seems to be the last straw for people to resist.

In an instant, several farmers farthest from Kiel no longer wanted to fight. They turned around and ran away holding their own farm tools, regardless of other people or the fact that they would trample wheat seedlings while running in the fields.

"Come back here! Come back! Don't run away!"

"Whoever runs will be caught and executed!"

"Damn it, I'm going to find thugs to hang you on a tree! I'm going to skin you!"

The more the man from the Ska Chamber of Commerce scolded the farmers, the more farmers around him ran away.

A bad-tempered farmer walked past him, kicked the man down, and then ran back to where he came from.

Naturally, Kiel saw these situations. He roared excitedly, then greeted the five militiamen not far away, and together they pursued the fleeing crowd.

A gun reached down and directly pierced the Ska Chamber of Commerce personnel who fell on the ground, and then vigorously knocked the horse's belly to drive the horse to speed up.

Click, click, click, the horses let go of their hooves and started running quickly in the soft fields.

In an instant, he caught up with the fleeing farmers who were facing him.

The long sword swung with a shining white light and chopped down a farmer's back directly from behind. Then the horse galloped and knocked over another farmer. The sound of the horse's shoe making close contact with the farmer's body was clearly heard.

Wielding the spear, Kil yelled and roared angrily, waving the spear and knocking over another farmer. Then the sword flipped over and slashed the neck of another farmer on the right.

When the fleeing farmers frequently looked back at him and let out a series of wails, Keir rushed through one farmer after another, either trampling and hitting them with his horse, or stabbing them with a spear, turning their backs on the farmers who were running away from him, or Swinging the long sword, he chopped down enemies one after another.

Blood splattered and stumps fell to the ground.

The five militiamen who attacked with Kiel harvested the farmers who fell to the ground, killing most of the farmers who were still alive.

He rushed to another entrance and exit of the village, completely frightening several young and strong farmers who had gathered here anxiously back to the village.

Here, Keir shouted loudly at every house in the village: "Stay at home and come out to help the guys from the Ska Chamber of Commerce. This is the result!"

After shouting, Kil turned around and stabbed a fallen farmer with his spear. He raised the man who was stuck on the spear with one arm and then slashed horizontally with the sword in his right hand. The farmer's head fell to the ground with a rumble. on the ground.

With a swing of the spear, the headless corpse was thrown down. Then Kil saw that many households had extinguished the lights in the house, and it became eerily quiet. He could only faintly hear the crying sounds of young children.

So Kiel turned his horse's head, trampled the wheat fields, and joined the five militiamen.

These militiamen were also covered in blood. When they saw Kiel joining them, they cheered towards Kiel excitedly.

"That's awesome, Kil!"

"How many have you killed? Kil, how many have you killed?"

Keir replied: "I can't remember clearly, but we are all together!"

"Let's go back. After all the enemies here have been killed, they won't attack us from behind again."

So Kil took them back to the gate where his own people were on the watch tower, and then walked along the street for a while into the village. Outside the inn where they fought before, they saw the Crow Knight who was commanding here.

"Sir, they and I killed all the enemies who surrounded us from outside. They were all a group of farmers. After the deaths, they will definitely not send anyone to support the Ska Chamber of Commerce tonight."

Kil dismounted, slapped his spear on the ground, and reported the situation to Knight Crow.

The knight looked carefully at Kiel and the five militiamen following him: "How many people did you take away in total?"

Kiel was not very clear. During the final chase, he was too excited and did not count the number of people. So he counted the number of people with the five militiamen, and then reported: "Sir, there are twenty-one people in total. But it is no longer possible." Calculate who killed whom.”

The knight nodded: "This is normal, or in other words, this is what often happens. I heard what you just said. Kil's contribution is not small, and you have also achieved something. In this way, twenty-one, Ji You and the five of you will each take half. A little more Kil, eleven, and five of you, ten."

None of Kiel and the others objected to Knight Crow's words. After all, he was a knight and he had the final say in the army.

"In this case, Kil, you have killed a total of thirty-four people so far."

The knight chuckled lightly, patted Kil's armor that was stained with a lot of blood, and then pointed in the direction of the center of the village: "Work hard and deal with the enemies blocking the road ahead."

Kil looked in the direction of Knight Crow's finger and saw that in front of the hotel, more than ten corpses had been dumped on the road and in the farmyards on both sides of the road.

All of them were members of the Ska Chamber of Commerce who were killed by crossbow arrows fired from the inn.

At the same time, near the house near the hotel, there were seven or eight corpses of thugs who had been killed with spears and daggers.

It seemed that when he was cleaning up the people who were surrounding them outside the village, a fierce battle also broke out here.

Looking along the road towards the center of the village, I saw that the road ahead was blocked. Many cargo carriages were pushed onto the dirt road, blocking the entire road.

These sideways cargo carriages became tools to resist the militiamen's superior crossbow fire. Under the lighting of torches, many people could be seen hiding behind them, neither daring to attack the militiamen nor retreating.

Kil nodded, and under the arrangement of Knight Crow, he led a group of militiamen to prepare to attack and capture the place.

Once that is taken, the center of the village will follow.

The last strength of the Ska Chamber of Commerce is commanded and mobilized there.

Unfortunately, as Kiel repelled the outflanking attack by some farmers just now, the farmers on one side of the village no longer dared to let their families join the Ska Chamber of Commerce's meeting tonight.

-

It's not like the other side didn't have projectile weapons. The farmers had plenty of leather cords that they used to shoot rabbits and field mice. Although the thugs and the guys from the chamber of commerce didn't know how to do this, the young farmers who grew up in the village knew how to do it.

Someone gathered seven or eight farmers who knew this together, hid behind the overturned truck, and threw large and small gravels towards the hotel and the area in front of the hotel from a distance.

Kiel had five wooden doors in the hotel dismantled, and groups of two hid behind the doors, carrying the wooden doors as large wooden shields for protection to assist in the attack.

But Kiel didn't need any extra protection. He just carried the spear and led the people to rush forward along the road.

"They're attacking!"

Someone shouted loudly from behind the overturned carriage and wagon.

Then many people looked over from the gap. They found that the attackers were carrying wooden doors and hiding behind them one by one. Even if the farm boys behind the carriage used their strength and accuracy, they were all blocked by those big wooden doors. Douduoduo resisted.

"If this doesn't work, take out the torch and throw it at the wooden door! Remember to soak it in oil!"

The commander of the rudimentary defense line is a mercenary-looking guy. He is wearing half-armor, with a simple armor on his upper body and a studded leather skirt on his lower body. He wears a simple iron helmet on his head and carries a two-handed sword behind his back. Looks very powerful.

Soon, someone brought a lot of torches from the Ska Chamber of Commerce warehouse in the center of the village, and someone also brought a bucket of freshly opened lamp oil.

The torch was soaked in lamp oil, then lit, and then handed over to the thugs behind the overturned carriage blocking the road, and thrown out one by one.

call--

A handful of lit torches were thrown in the air in bright arcs and fell. Some of them hit the door panels carried by the militiamen, flying sparks and falling to the ground. The clever militiaman kicked the torches beside his legs to both sides, but the lamp oil dripping from some torches still burned in small pieces on the door panel.

Kiel was covered in tightly protected iron armor, so he naturally did not need to lift the door panel to attack. Some stones that occasionally fell on him could only make a clanking sound and would not cause him any trouble.

Seeing that the other party was using a torch to light the door panel carried by the militiamen, Kil quickly walked up and wiped the burning lamp oil on the door panel with his hand.

His hands were stained with oil and started to burn. He calmly rubbed them on the dirt road and extinguished the flames on his hands.

Some inaccurately thrown torches fell into the farmyards on both sides of the street. These oil-soaked torches quickly ignited the fences in the yard, the fruit trees and vegetable fields planted, and even the chicken coops or coops.

Some farmers who were hiding behind their houses were reluctant to part with the few things they had at home, so they ran out in panic and used earth to put out the fire. Others did not come out alive or dead, just watching their property turn to ashes in the flames.

It is often said that when a bear competes with a tiger, the fox wins.

But for these farmers, they only have losses, or losses of one kind or another, and there is no possibility of profiting from the chaos.

Farmers are afraid of chaos and confusion. They only long for a stable life, stable farming, and stable harvest.

But how can one live such a stable life in this world?

It was like this when the Ska Chamber of Commerce came, and it's the same way now when someone is dealing with people from the Ska Chamber of Commerce.

Some farmers looked at their burned fruit trees and the scorched laying hens in the burning chicken coop. They could only kneel on the ground dejectedly and curse in low tones of pain.

They didn't dare to make a particularly loud noise, for fear that the two parties who were fighting fiercely next to them would notice them.

"They're coming! Are you all ready? Ready, throw!"

A commanding voice sounded from behind the overturned carriage, followed by barrels, bricks, stones and other objects thrown over the carriage towards Kiel and the others.

There were also several wooden hammers mixed in, mixed together and thrown towards Kiel and the others.

There was a loud crackling sound.

Kil waved his spear and shield, knocking these things away one by one.

The militiamen didn't have much trouble. Many objects hit the door panel, which only shook it, and then the militiamen continued to move forward.

But Kiel did not expect that this was just a feint attack by the opponent. The real purpose was to lift a large bucket of lamp oil over the carriage by a kamikaze-like thug and throw it towards the militia attack route.

"Hey!"

The thug threw a large bucket of lamp oil across the carriage, but as soon as the thing was released, he was shot dead with crossbows by several militiamen on the second floor of the hotel.

With a few pops of pops, the thug was hit by four or five crossbow arrows on his chest, and he looked like he was going to die.

"Brave! The Chamber of Commerce will reward this brave man with ten gold coins! Give them all to his family!"

The commanding guy announced loudly, which immediately made the atmosphere among his men rise. Every young man's eyes were shining with gold, and they all wanted to find a chance to fight. Maybe if they were lucky, they would be able to live and enjoy it. So much money.

A large barrel of lamp oil was thrown over the carriage, and immediately fell to the ground on the carriage side and flowed over a large area. Then a torch was thrown over, and the flammable grease was ignited with a puff.

The blazing flames ignited and directly blocked Kiel's previously promising offensive line.

"Kir, what should we do now?" A militiaman hid behind the door panel and asked loudly toward Kiel.

Keir looked around. Since the main road was blocked, he should go around from the farmers' yards on both sides. Although there is a wall blocking it, it is very difficult to launch an attack.

"Everyone follow me!"

Kil yelled, then walked outside the farmyard on the right side of the road and kicked the tightly closed wooden door of the yard.

The other militiamen held up the door panels and slowly moved sideways to follow.

In the farmyard, the farmer slammed the door of the house tightly, but Keir didn't care. He came to the wall on one side of the yard. The farmers here had more property, so the wall was built higher. It was not impossible to climb over it, but Kil was wearing armor, so obviously he couldn't do it.

"Come here, let's work together and knock down this wall for me!"

Keir greeted and immediately put one shoulder against the wall. Four or five other militiamen also came over. After throwing down the door panels, they also supported the wall with their hands.

Other militiamen swept their spears up and down the wall to drive away the enemies on the other side of the wall. The enemy was not stupid. They knew that Kiel and the others were here, so they immediately sent people to interfere and stop them.

But obviously these thugs did not expect that Kiel and the others were not going to climb over the wall, but to knock the wall down directly.

"One, two, try harder!"

The six people exerted their strength together, and the wall made of small pieces of rock mixed with soil and straw instantly made an overwhelming creaking sound.

"Come again! One, two, harder!"

The six people held back their strength and exerted their strength together. At the connection between the rock at the bottom of the wall and the soil above, the sound of breaking became louder again.

"Okay, one last time! One, two, pour it for me!"

As Kil screamed and the six of them exerted their full strength, the wall that was suddenly pushed forward tilted forward, and then there was a rumble of collapse, and a four-meter-wide section of the wall fell directly towards the opposite side.

The thugs below who were waiting to intercept the enemies who climbed over the wall quickly rolled out of the way with their hands and feet, but the clumsy guy could only scream as he was crushed under the heavy earth wall when it collapsed. .

"kill!"

Before the dust of the collapse had settled, Kiel rushed out of the gap with a spear in his right hand and a shield on his head.

Behind him, ten militiamen shouted loudly and held long spears, and followed Keir and rushed out.

Not far away, Knight Crow kept paying attention to the front. Although his sight was blocked by the street walls and the fruit trees planted by each house, he knew what was happening ahead just by hearing the sounds and guessing.

"Everyone nearby, rush forward! Fight!"

He immediately instructed several militiamen around him and other militiamen in the hotel, and the remaining dozen people moved forward to attack together.

But Knight Crow did not let the five militiamen on the sentry tower at the village gate come over. That was the retreat. Although he was here, tonight's battle was bound to be impossible to fail. But relying only on these elite militiamen to launch a battle with Kiel was still Testing his commanding ability.

Knight Crow wanted to train these elites at hand before officially entering the battlefield.

At that time, these trained militiamen can be exchanged with militiamen from other teams. Even if one of these elites is inserted into other ten-person teams, it can significantly improve the combat adaptability of other teams.

After all, it is not an army that participates in wars all year round. Although it performs well against bandits, it is still difficult to say how it will fare against the noble army of the southern kingdom.

However, Knight Crow was quite reassured about the equipment of his men. Although Baron Kendall had no experience in participating in wars before, at least he was very well prepared in terms of equipping his soldiers.

He knew that although the war was not decided by comparing the strength of the two parties with a list, at least the side with better equipment would have a better advantage.

After all, this is a worse world. Most of these militiamen who have never left Kendall County will know how well prepared Baron Kendall is when they see the troops of other nobles.
