Chapter 80 People who don't know the current situation
The population of Qingzhu tribe is less than 400, and the defense force is at most 20 people.
Among these people, except for the three professional knights headed by Willy, the rest are ordinary people who are guards when they pick up weapons and farmers when they put down their weapons. They don't even have formal training. Not to mention fighting against professional knights, even the guards brought by Roning from Wushan Fort are better than them.
In fact, this battle was over as early as when Roning and others arrived at the outskirts of Qingzhu tribe without any hindrance.
Not only did no decent resistance form here, but there was no one to inform the outside world. The two teams of Zhu Weite and Sim that Roning arranged on those two roads out of caution were completely useless.
The reason was that he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Facing Roning's recruitment, Willy was very tempted. He followed his father to hide in this mountain forest, carrying the identity of the remnant of the rebels. Even if he went out to purchase, he could only find some small vendors, and even so, he had to be careful not to be discovered.
Once people outside know his identity, they will definitely report him to the nobles of Wushan Territory, just for the bounty of a few gold coins.
Under the influence of his father, Willy used to be obsessed with restoring the glory of his family, but after all these years of suffering, especially the rise of the Black Territory in recent years, he hopes to escape from this forest.
Now the young baron in front of him seems to be able to bring him everything he wants.
"Lord Ronin, I am very tempted by your proposal!"
Willie's tone slowed down, "But you know, even if humans want to subdue the monster, the first thing to do is to defeat it. If you want me to surrender, you should show your strength first."
Ronin was stunned. How else can he show his strength?
The Qingzhu Tribe was surrounded by him, how else can he show it?
"Knight Willy, don't you understand the current situation? The Qingzhu tribe has been surrounded by me, and you have become my prey without any resistance. This is enough to prove that I am powerful, at least more powerful than you."
"No, no, no."
Willie shook his head quickly, "You only trapped my people, not me. If I want to break out, you may not be able to stop me."
His tone was very confident, "If you want me to surrender to you, you should defeat me from the front alone!"
"I admire your courage, Knight Willy."
Roning's mouth curled up slightly, "But at the same time, I also admire your ignorance."
Hearing this, Willy's face turned cold, "Lord Roning, please pay attention to your attitude. I didn't offend you, but you are slandering me. This is not the quality of a noble!"
Are the qualities of a noble always humble and respectful, and politely praise everyone?
"I have no interest in fighting you."
Ronin shook his head, "Now you have one minute to consider whether to surrender to me or be killed."
In this overwhelming situation, what qualifications does the other party have to negotiate with him?
The tense atmosphere spread, and Willy glanced at the people around him. At this moment, he was surrounded. Although he said it confidently, he was not 100% sure to break through.
And he didn't want to abandon his identity as the leader of the tribe and bow down to others without anyone to serve him.
What he wanted was to be like Ronin, to have someone to serve him as soon as he opened his eyes, to do whatever he wanted, and to have the freedom to obey no one.
The two knights beside Willy were very nervous. The momentum of the group of people on the opposite side was too strong. They were just junior knights. If the talks broke down, they would not be able to escape.
One minute passed quickly. After rounds of fierce struggles in Willy's heart, he finally relaxed.
"Sir, I can submit to you."
Willie spoke again, "But I hope you can let me continue to be the leader of the Qingzhu tribe and manage this group of people."
Roning was stunned by the other party's request, and then he actually laughed.
He slowly raised his hand, and the spell pattern of the wind blade technique that he was already familiar with was drawn on the palm of his hand. With the surge of wind elements, a hazy green wind blade quietly formed in his palm.
"Roning, you!"
Willie's face changed drastically. He thought that even if this condition was not met, he could still bargain, but he didn't expect the other party to take action directly.
Roning was too lazy to say more. Under the influence of mental power, the wind blade flew out of his hand and cut towards the other party's neck with a very fast sound of breaking through the air.
"Hah!"
Willie, an intermediate knight, burst into fighting spirit all over his body. He raised the long sword in his hand and condensed it into a flame slash to resist the attack of the wind blade technique.
But I don't know if it was because his sword was too poor or the flame slash was not fully condensed, the wind blade directly cut off the opponent's sword body, and then left a blood line on the opponent's throat.
"You..."
Willy only felt his body rapidly getting cold, as if his soul was gradually being pulled out, and then he fell to the ground.
"How can the loser have the qualifications to talk about so many conditions?"
Roning sneered, "You don't have this much sense, you don't need to be my subordinate."
In fact, if the other party made some other requests, such as asking Roning to give some gold coins, he would be more willing.
After all, letting a mid-level knight serve him is a good thing for Roning.
It's a pity that Willy wanted too much. He actually wanted to continue to be the leader of the Qingzhu tribe. Isn't this equivalent to Roning conferring the title of knight on him and allocating a manor?
McKen, who had followed him the longest, and Rydar, who had made great contributions, were not canonized. How could a defeated remnant leader be qualified?
Lord Willy... just died like this?
The two knights who had stood beside Willy had never expected such a situation. The strongest man of the Qingzhu tribe could not resist a single move from the other side.
At this moment, they seemed to still be echoing the sound of the wind blade breaking through the air. It was really the sound of the undead in hell.
Seeing this, the peasants who stood up and prepared to resist with Willy collapsed to the ground like they had lost their parents, and no longer had the courage to resist.
"Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!" Roning said lightly.
Rydar and McCann pointed their long swords to the sky and shouted loudly, "Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!"
After this battle, even the two professional knights under Willy were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy. How could anyone dare to resist?
They all knelt on the ground and trembled, begging for forgiveness from the nobles.
Fortunately, before the expedition, Ronin asked Redar and McKen to do a lot of ideological work on the guards, and finally the rule of strictly prohibiting the indiscriminate killing of prisoners was imprinted in the hearts of the guards.
Even when facing the surrenderers, the soldiers were at most a little rough, but they did not kill anyone or maim anyone.
It is still very necessary to train a team that obeys orders.
"David, Tom, you take people to gather all the people in the Qingzhu tribe for me."
Ronin emphasized: "Remember to search carefully, regardless of men, women, young or old, don't miss anyone!"
