Chapter 544 Madman
Following them were fifty or sixty female villagers, the youngest of whom looked to be only seven or eight years old. The cattle, sheep and property in the village were also brought back.
The women cried and cried.
Field shook his head when he saw it, lamenting in his heart that the most unlucky people in war are always ordinary people.
"Sir, looking at their clothes, they are definitely not ordinary bandits and robbers. They are probably the guards of a certain big noble, so let them go." Lei Ying's men immediately reminded them.
Almost laughing out loud, Field thought to himself: How could Lei Ying let him go in front of so many people when he shouted that he would be severely punished? Otherwise, where would you put your face?
"Hmph, no matter whose subordinate he is, the punishment he deserves cannot be less."
Lei Ying planned to whip them twice, a small punishment but a big punishment.
But a playful reply came from behind: "They are my men."
"Hoo? We met them again." Field turned around, and it was Adam who he met before.
Lei Ying was stunned for a moment. He drove his horse forward, pinched his throat, and said in a voice as warm as the spring breeze: "It turns out he is Mr. Auster's son. He is really an extraordinary and handsome young man. Thank you for your hard work coming all the way."
"Let's talk about the massacre of the village first, Lord Lei Ying." Adam smiled.
"Mr. Adam, after the Queen increased taxes, our income has been greatly reduced. These villages must not only provide us with money, but also maintain the supply of food and supplies. Just let the soldiers grab some money. Mass killing may have a negative impact on the royal family. Bad reputation."
"Besides, the subjects are the property of our nobles."
Lei Ying had tried to speak as gently as possible. Even if the other party had a big background, he still had to compensate for infringing on the interests of the nobles.
"Sir, who is this guy? Is he so powerful?" Ashina came up and asked curiously.
"Auster is one of the Queen's chief advisers and her right-hand man."
Field explained: "They are not nobles who control the land, but imperial officials who only manage the land for the queen. What's interesting is that their chosen ones also advance normally."
The nobility owned and managed the land.
Imperial officials did not own land but could manage it on their behalf.
Both of the chosen ones can grow normally. However, it is rumored that the chosen ones of the imperial officials are not easy to mislead their skills and are highly professional. The disadvantage is that the growth of the Chosen One is extremely slow, and the Chosen Civilian has a random profession after the third level, almost 100% of which are auxiliary.
After listening to Lei Ying's words, Adam sneered and said: "Since it is the property of the nobles, then I will pay compensation. How much does it cost for each of the people I killed."
"Ten gold coins, after all, they are free people. Please compensate their families and restrain the troops." Lei Ying said solemnly.
"Well, how can I put it, I am also the executor of the Queen's will."
A smile appeared on Adam's lips, and he strode towards a victim girl: "I'm sorry for destroying your home. I will compensate you with gold coins. May I ask how many of your relatives were killed?"
The girl was crying miserably, but when she saw that the other party was wearing noble clothes and looking handsome, her mind was filled with fantasies. Feeling that he had met a handsome and domineering good man, he immediately cried: "I have three relatives."
"Take forty gold coins." Adam snapped his fingers.
The world-weary God Chosen beside him tilted his head and actually dropped forty gold coins out of thin air.
"Could it be a space type?" Field already knew in his mind, "It's probably a type I've never seen before."
"Give me too much, Mr. Adam, fairness is the beauty of our nobles..." Lei Ying hadn't finished his words yet.
Adam actually pulled out the gorgeous dagger from his waist and plunged it into the victim girl's neck. Listening to her screams, Adam directly cut off her head.
"Fuck you, madman." Field was disgusted by his cruel operation.
"Now, I paid, don't forget to compensate the local nobles for me."
With a smile, Adam looked at the remaining people.
"No, don't!"
"Please, let us go."
The villagers were shocked and wanted to escape, but found that they could not take a step at all.
Smiling wildly, Adam stabbed the villagers present to death one by one. A small mountain of gold coins was piled on the ground, and blood was splashed everywhere, even forming a pool of blood.
He said happily: "Now there is no idiot who will be dissatisfied with Her Majesty the Queen. I am right, Lord Lei Ying."
"Come on, let's go see the Governor."
Adam took the captured guards with him, ignored Lei Ying who looked extremely ugly, and strode away.
"How dare these bastards who have no land or army and only know how to manipulate people's hearts dare to be so arrogant!"
Lei Ying spat and left unhappily, not caring about the gold coins and the piles of corpses on the ground.
"A team of people will come and bury them."
Feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, Field became increasingly unhappy. Although he never claims to be a good person, the fact that he slaughters innocent people for fun is simply unacceptable.
You can't keep this stuff.
Field is wary of Laman.
With the army stationed, Field went to find Governor Tacolin.
This important minister of the Queen once commanded the first counter-insurgency campaign. Of course, it was this guy who let the cavalry attack the spear formation head-on, causing heavy casualties to the noble coalition.
"Tsk, looking back, his strange operation at the time was probably a smart move."
Field snorted disdainfully, maybe it was the Queen's instruction.
"My Lord Governor, Baron Field has come to report." The beautiful maid took Field to a gorgeous and huge tent and reported softly.
"Oh? The warrior chosen by the Queen is here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Taklin is a fat middle-aged man with hair combed like a judge. He looks majestic and a little funny.
"Hello, Governor."
"Hmph, have you brought all the supplies that Her Majesty wants?" The Governor moved his body with difficulty, with expectation in his eyes.
"Of course, I brought 200,000 gold coins for Her Majesty."
Field was very unhappy. Although he spoke in a respectful tone, he roared in anger in his heart: Wait, soon I will have to take back these gold coins twice. No one can plunder my property.
The money that Ye Mu received was all robbed by himself, one gold coin at a time, so how could he allow others to rob him.
"What? Only 200,000. Didn't I write to you? Another 100,000 gold coins must be added. This is related to whether the war will be won."
Takolin was furious: "Find a way immediately and ask your family for it. No one cares if you have any difficulties. Solve it for me quickly."
This governor is not only an important minister of the Queen, but also has a deep family foundation. He is not afraid of anyone.
Field clenched his fists, wishing to pound his stinky face immediately, but he still suppressed his inner irritability. He kept telling himself that a little impatience will ruin a big plan.
"I have separated the other 100,000 gold coins. Shouldn't they be transported to the adults' tent?"
"Ah~"
Takolin smiled and was very satisfied.
"What are you talking about? These are all for Her Majesty the Queen. I will transport them to where they should go. You did a good job. In fact, I wrote 150,000 gold coins before, but seeing that you have a lot of chivalry, let's leave it like this."
