Blasphemy Chapter 12: Domineering

Another world.

It's still the same dead forest.

It’s still the same gray sky.

A tall skeleton wanders aimlessly. There are also very few undead creatures in this forest. It wandered for a day, but met two of its kind. There is no communication between skeletons. If you pass each other by, you won't know when they will meet again.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the tall skeleton turned back blankly, and it was another one of the same kind that caught up. It turned around and continued its journey. Suddenly, the whole world turned upside down, and the forest became in the sky. Its low intelligence could not answer this question for it, and there was no time for it to think again. A long knife smashed its skull.

A faint white mist floated out from the shattered skull, and was sucked in by Feng Yue through the hole that was originally his nose. Fengyue stood up, looked around, let out a silent roar towards the sky, and rushed into the forest with a speed that did not belong to a skeleton, to find the next target.

The "Dragon and Beauty" mercenary group embarked on a journey in the coolness of early autumn. Lens and his band of thieves rushed to Sellersburg first to reconnoiter the terrain and lay traps. In the mercenary team, Kate led a group of 150 knights in the front, and Aite led a group of 200 swordsmen in the rear. In the middle of the team were more than a dozen large vehicles, which were quite heavy. Faith was sitting in one of the carriages, and Franco, as his escort, also sat in the carriage majestically. Rogge rode with Kate, pretending to be an ax cavalryman.

The mercenary group’s destination this time is Le Mans, a small town sixty miles away from Sayresburg. The town of Le Mans is of decent size, with about 2,000 people in the town. Since Lord Snow Fox arrived, there has been no news about this town from the alliance. Several times of reconnaissance by Lens showed that there are people from Snow Fox haunting this town from time to time.

In the early morning, people in Le Mans Town got up one after another and began to prepare for food and clothing for the new day. The sun hasn't fully risen yet, but the morning light has already illuminated the entire town. The sounds of roosters crowing and dogs jumping gradually increased, and streaks of smoke gradually rose. There are already sporadic industrious people walking around on the streets. Due to its remote location and poor products, this mountain town often only has three or five caravans arriving in a year. The people in the small town are used to living a self-sufficient life, and their life has been peaceful and peaceful for decades.

The morning breeze in early autumn has brought a bit of coolness, and the sun slowly rises from the mountains and forests. The bright red and golden glow coat the town with a bright color. The swaying trees in the town seemed to be decorated with golden leaves, and the early birds joined in the chorus. What a morning scene in the mountains and countryside!

It's a pity that Rogge doesn't have any bones in his body. The fat man frowned and looked at the low and dilapidated houses on both sides of the avenue. Even though this was the widest avenue in the center of the town, there were not many shops to be seen. The townspeople on the roadside, dressed in rough and tattered clothes, looked at the cavalry team that broke the peace of the town with curiosity, indifference and even hatred.

"There are 2,000 people in this town, which is three to four hundred households. Well, let me think about it. Considering how poor they are, it would be good to have an average income of 2 gold coins per year. Calculate again, so The tax that can be collected is five silver coins, and you still have to pay three and a half silver coins

... In one year, can we have an income of 50 gold coins? ? *, this is my territory? "The fat man started talking to himself, but couldn't help but raise his voice at the last sentence.

Franco glanced at Rogge dissatisfiedly. The fat man's money obsession completely dispelled his enjoyment of the mountain village scenery. Kate said nothing, sixty lightly armed axe-lancers followed behind, and the rest of the mercenaries disappeared.

The cavalry slowly arrived at the small square in the center of the town. A lot of people had gathered in the square. A tall and energetic old man seemed to be the leader. He walked up and saluted: "My distinguished knights, I am Ian, the mayor of this town. What are your orders when you come to our poor place?"

Rogge said carelessly: "We are the Knights of the Principality of Bavaria. My name is Rogge, this is Franco, and this is Kate. From now on, this town and the surrounding areas will be our territory. You are the town's Sir, prepare some food for us first, and then report the population and income of the town. After dinner, you can take us around the town."

"Wait a minute!" A very tall man with black skin stood up, holding a huge hammer in his hand.

Kate frowned and looked at the big man. She drove her horse forward slowly, and a cold breath gradually came out. "Why, it seems you still have some ideas, right?" Kate's ax gun was also modified by Faith. As the knight's strength increased, he was hit harder. The spear tip and ax blade have been blessed by magic, making them extremely sharp and stronger. Kate slowly channeled her fighting spirit. Although she was not strong enough to externalize it, her momentum was gradually increasing.

The big man faced Kate's momentum and resisted quite hard, but he did not flinch. "I am Bam, the blacksmith in the town! What do you use to prove that you are a knight of the principality? What did the principality do in the past besides collecting taxes? When those **** thieves came to steal Shana, why didn't they see a knight? When they slaughtered my brothers, why didn't any knights show up? Now that the thieves are gone, we have just had a peaceful life for half a year, but you are back to collect taxes! What is the difference between you and those thieves! We are now the Snow Silver Fox. Territory, at least they saved us!" There was a commotion among the surrounding crowd.

Franco pulled Rogge and whispered: "Look carefully! There are no women in the townspeople. And they all have weapons." Rogge took a closer look and found that it was true. Most of the townspeople had weapons in their hands, and of course farm tools could barely be considered weapons. Rogge carefully observed the surrounding houses and found that there were many people peeping out from behind the closed windows.

Roger frowned and said to Kate: "We'll fight quickly, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Kate snorted and rode up. Bam roared angrily, raised the hammer high, and struck it down hard. There was a flash of cold light and a clear sound. Kate's ax gun came from bottom to top and easily split the big man's hammer into two pieces. When the men and horses were intertwined, she hit the big man's back hard with the handle of the gun. With the crisp sound of bones breaking, the big man spurted blood from his mouth, flew three to four meters, and fell heavily to the ground. The crowd made another noise. Kate glanced around and was satisfied to see that in addition to hatred, there was fear in the eyes of the townspeople. He turned back on his horse and walked towards Bam who was lying on the ground. He raised his ax gun and prepared to cut him in two with an axe.

"Wait!" Ian rushed over and pulled Kate's horse rope. "Sir Knight, Bam offended the adults and deserves to die. But the adults have already taught him a lesson. For the sake of us all being your subjects, let's just go around him. The old man has already asked people to be here. Some meals have been arranged in the town hall, please don’t find it too crude.”

Roger looked around and said slowly: "Let's note this crime of collaborating with the enemy for the time being. Let's go to eat first, then go back and clean up those naughty foxes, and then repair your cheap bones. I know you still have some thoughts in your heart. If you don't accept it, those naughty foxes gave you some sweetness. But remember, this is our territory from now on! We are your masters! Our words are law in this land! Whoever is dissatisfied can come like that fool Try it. But don't expect me to be merciful this time. Ian, go find some beautiful girls to greet you. If I find that there are more beautiful girls in the town who don't come out, old man, you are going to go to the slave camp. Live the last ten years."

The atmosphere in the town hall was extremely depressing. The knights were all eating a simple breakfast in silence, while several girls from the town shuttled around delivering food and clearing away cutlery and dishes. Occasionally there were one or two sporadic screams, and I don’t know which cavalryman touched the girl’s **** again. Rogge and three other people sat at a table, discussing something in low voices. The food on the table was swept away, but the three of them obviously had no intention of appreciating the taste.

Old mayor Ian stood aside with laughter. He was thankful that the worst case scenario hadn't happened. These knights seemed to have little interest in the girls of the town.

While preparing the meal, Rogge and others kept asking him about the situation of the Snow Fox Brigade. Not long after the Snow Fox Brigade entered Sellersburg, a group of thieves came to the town of Le Mans, ransacked the town, and killed several people. The Snow Fox Brigade passed by the town at this time and took action to annihilate the bandit group and save the entire town. Later, Xuehu's people often went to the town to exchange supplies, and the prices were reasonable. After the arrival of Snow Fox, the alliance's tax collector never appeared again, and the simple townspeople naturally felt for Snow Fox. However, what the common people think is not within the scope of consideration by nobles like Rogge. Politics is a compulsory course for the big aristocrats, and most of them, these marginal and declining aristocrats, will not waste time on politics.

A rush of horse hooves came and stopped suddenly at the door of the town hall. A dusty axe-lance knight rushed in, took off his helmet, hurried towards Rogge's table, and said loudly: "The Snow Fox has been discovered..." With a "pop", Kate gave him a hard blow. Slap, "Why are you shouting so loudly!" The knight immediately fell silent and whispered to Rogge and others.

Roger and others asked the cavalryman repeatedly, their voices kept very low. Ian could only vaguely hear a few sporadic words such as "sneak attack, ambush, demon forest". The old mayor carefully kept his smile and posture, for fear of causing any misunderstanding.

At this time, everyone’s plan has been decided. Several noble scoundrels laughed ferociously at each other. Several people greeted the knights to get up and mount their horses, and rushed out of the town like the wind, leaving only a town hall with messy cups and plates. Ian hurriedly called over a young man who looked very smart and whispered a few words, and the young man responded. Not long after, the young man followed the trail of the cavalry on horseback. Ian was busy comforting several girls with red and swollen eyes.

An hour later, the young man rushed back on Pegasus. Not long after, another horse galloped out of the mayor's house and quickly disappeared in the direction leading to Sellersburg.

Hart has not been in a good mood this year.

The dignified captain of the Snow Fox Brigade, an eleventh-level swordsman, was actually sent to such a remote place for more than half a year. He cursed fiercely and looked around the castle.

The coolies moved the bags of ore onto the trucks with difficulty. Six trucks were lined up neatly in the small square in the castle, and they were now half full. Hart was originally ordered to unearth a necromancer's laboratory, but found nothing. Unexpectedly, he discovered a rich vein of refined iron ore, which was of very high grade and could be directly used for steel smelting. For the mineral-poor Principality of Ron, this iron ore is of extraordinary value. Unfortunately, it is located in the Principality of Bavaria, so it can only be mined secretly.

The Duchy of Bavaria strangely ignored Snow Fox's occupation for a long time, but despite this, Hart had to do his best to keep the mining operation secret. A strange attack a few months ago caused Hart to lose several elite cavalry and a mid-level magician. Coincidentally, the magician was the brother-in-law of the deputy leader of the mercenary group. For this reason, Hart was called back to the headquarters and tortured. He was scolded and his stay at Sellersburg was extended for one year. Thinking of this, Hart's mood became even more depressed. He began to look for lazy coolies and prepared to practice his whipping skills again.

A horse galloped across the square of the castle. The knight jumped off the horse and ran to Hart. He said this and that. Hart's face was as dark as water, then gradually became cheerful, and finally laughed. He slapped the messenger hard and said: "After cleaning up those **** this time, I recommend you to join the Snow Fox! From now on, you can follow me! Hahahaha! Kids! Assemble! Let's go hunting!"

After a while, one hundred cavalry and two hundred light infantry gathered in the square of the castle. A black-robed mage also stood beside Hart. Hart gave an order, and the gate of the fort was opened wide. Three hundred Snow Fox mercenaries left Sellers Fort, leaving only fifty swordsmen stationed in the fort.

Rogge and others were still walking leisurely on the road leading to Sellersburg as if on an outing, with the cavalry formation widely spread out. After turning a small mountain pass, the cavalry in front suddenly stopped. The cavalry behind was blocked and pushed forward cursingly. After turning around the intersection and taking a look, they fell silent.

In an open field ahead, Hart, who was wearing heavy armor, led the Snow Fox mercenaries in order to wait for Rogge.

Roger and others took a breath of cold air.

Xue Hu is worthy of being called an elite, the queue is neat and solemn, and there is no sound or horse neighing. Seeing Rogge and others, Hart smiled evilly, licked his lips, and slowly raised his lance. The infantry behind him divided into two teams, and with a clanging sound, they began to surround them slowly and neatly. Every ten steps he took, he would hit his shield with his sword and shout "Kill!". But there was still no movement from the cavalry. Hart's lance was raised high, not swaying at all, but a murderous aura rose into the sky. There are only a few hundred people, but their killing intent is like a thousand troops!

Roger and others looked at each other in shock. They originally wanted to use fifty cavalry to lure the enemy and charge for a while to kill the opponent's spirit. But he never expected that the other party would be such a battle-hardened lion. The war horses were stirred by murderous intent and began to tread uneasily. Some of the cavalrymen turned pale. The rookie cavalry, which had been formed for half a year and trained for just two months, immediately showed a difference when faced with battle-hardened veterans.

The noble scum looked at each other and found that the other party also had white faces.

Rogg made a prompt decision and chanted a spell. A black mist floated between the battle formations of both sides. After it dissipated, the ground was covered with dense spider webs, covering an area of ​​tens of meters. Kate raised her ax gun high and issued an order: "Get ready!! Open your bow! Aim at the infantry team on the left front and shoot!" Dozens of arrows roared towards the infantry team 200 meters away~IndoMTL.com~The Snow Fox infantrymen raised their arms in unison shield. But their equipment is really not that good. The light shield is not enough to cover the whole body, and the leather armor does not provide good protection against bows and arrows. After the rain of arrows (if these arrows can be called a rain of arrows), five or six infantrymen fell to the ground.

Kate waved his ax gun again: "Open your bow and shoot!" There was another wave of arrows, and the Snow Fox infantry fell down five or six people again. The Snow Fox infantry began to charge, trying to shorten the distance between the two sides. Hart calmly stared at the opponent's formation. As a battle-experienced commander, he would wait until the opponent was in the most chaotic state before the cavalry launched the final attack. Although Rogge's magic will not stop his cavalry, the sprint speed will be greatly affected. Fortunately, this magic does not last long, only five or six minutes. Hart has a lot of patience. Unconsciously, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips again, like a wolf that had smelled blood.

Kate raised the ax gun for the third time: "Everyone is ready!" The Snow Fox infantry had already rushed to a hundred meters. When they heard Kate's order, they immediately raised their shields above their heads and continued to sprint, but the speed was inevitably slow. Quite a bit.

Kate yelled: "Everyone turn around and retreat!!" Most of Dragon and Beauty's mercenaries were veterans. They retreated quickly and without panic. In a moment, they turned around and started flying along the way they came. Run. Hart was stunned to see that Rogge and others had already covered a considerable distance.

Hart was so angry that he was shaking all over and roared fiercely: "Chase me!! Catch up with these sons of bitches!!"
