Warhammer Throne

With a strong spirit, Raymond took his mother and his younger brother on the road again. A family of three walked for more than an hour in the direction pointed by the golden armor giant.

When the sky came to noon, there was a noise in front of him. Leimen cautiously hid behind the big tree and looked at him. Then he was scared and shrank his neck.

A war is going on in the forest! A group of hundreds of human soldiers are at war with a tribe of wild orcs.

This is actually no surprise. In this dark world, war will never be absent.

What really surprised Raymond was that the human army was actually pressing down the orcs. When these human forces faced the orcs, there was no fear at all. On the contrary, they were even more ruthless and grumpy than the orcs, wearing Breastplate, elite soldiers armed with spears and halberds are advancing collectively, hordes of crossbowmen are constantly shooting arrows, hundreds of swordsmen under the command of the sergeant's ground bravely fight against the beasts, and there are even many knights and knights. The followers participated.

"For Madam! For Count Lane! For Countess Suria!"

The tribe of Beastmen was beaten up and scrambled, the horned beasts and the inferior horned beasts retreated one after another, and the human swordsmen advanced day by day. Under the protection of the pikemen and halberd soldiers, they slaughtered the beastmen, and soon the loss of the beasts exceeded. Thirty percent, with the addition of a few knights and a dozen knights' retinue, the morale of the Beastman has fallen to the bottom.

"Bertrand! Solve the Beastmaster!" the leader knight shouted in the human army.

"Yes!" A sergeant in a full-body green tights, chain mail and blouse said loudly. He was wearing a green three-cornered hat, and the flower feather on the hat was a beautiful white feather. He heard the knight’s The command, the sergeant reacted immediately, he took out two arrows from the quiver behind him, and then pulled them away forcefully.

A big bow was drawn into a full moon.

Is he going to shoot here? He is at least one hundred and fifty steps away from that Beastmaster! Raymond opened his mouth wide, and the effective range of a normal serf archer was actually about 30 to 80 steps.

"Shoo!" The arrow cut through the forest, and the Beastmaster who was directing the resistance of the Beastman tribe raised his head. Its left eye was directly penetrated by the arrow, and the crazy pain made it scream back.

"Shoo!" An arrow followed through its right eye, and the beast king who had just been selected finally wailed and fell to the ground.

"Nice!" The morale of the Beastman collapsed. Several knights turned on their horses. They charged on horseback. A dozen knights followed behind them. The knight's charge beat the Beastman to pieces, and then was divided and annihilated.

"What a strong army..." Raymond swallowed his saliva. He felt a little fortunate. If the army of the holy grail knight Earl Lane is so strong, then at least the security of the territory can be guaranteed, and the serfs don't have to worry about security and bandit problems.

Out of caution and caution, the Raymond family waited for a while, and after the army had cleaned the battlefield and left, the family continued to act.

The road here is much easier. The road that can accommodate four horses in parallel, and the solid soil is paved from the forest. Raymond swears that this road is the best road he has ever walked.

The bread has been eaten. Fortunately, this road is not difficult to walk. Even the old mother who is almost unable to walk can barely move. Thomas behind is pulling Raymond's clothes, and they are exhausted.

There are guards and sentries on the main road. According to the instructions of the golden armor giant before, Raymond only said that he had fled, and he didn't say where he came from, and he didn't say which duchy he came from.

The serfs remained on guard.

Sure enough, the guards did not embarrass them. After careful examination and questioning, they confirmed that they were all human beings and fleeing serfs, so they were released into the guard post.

There were dozens of people standing densely outside the guard posts. Obviously most of them were fleeing serfs. Some of them were merchants. They were complaining. There were a few others who were not like merchants, but not like serfs. They passed the customs completely according to the guards. Request to do it.

"Your name is Lei Meng? They are all your family members?" A sergeant carried a crossbow behind his back, with a long sword hanging from his waist, wearing a chain mail and a burqa.

It looks awesome! Raymond looked deeply envious.

Being promoted to a sergeant and becoming a freedman is the lifelong dream of serfs.

"Yes, yes, I am Raymond, this is my brother, and this is my mother. We are from the north and can't live anymore. We have escaped here. I beg you to take care of us poor people! Please! "Raymond bent down quickly, and he smiled favorably at the gentleman sergeant.

"It's from the north again? Why are there so many fugitive slaves from the north recently." The sergeant was a little surprised. He looked at the desolation of the family and smiled: "I have encountered a lot of difficulties on the road? Look at you. It’s really not easy to escape here like this!"

"Yes! Yes! Madam bless! Madam bless!" Raymond said quickly.

"Okay, it's okay to escape here. We are from the Xialong Forest Guard Camp. Don't worry, it is safe. Outsiders are welcome. As long as you work hard and work harder, you don't have to worry about not having enough food." The sergeant continued: "But if you dare to break the law, the only outcome is to be hanged!"

After speaking, the sergeant waved his hand: "Take them down for inspection and clean up!"

"Yes!" The infantrymen of several infantry regiments took Lei Meng and others down. They grabbed the family a little rough, cut their messy hair short with knives and scissors, then took them to the bath and changed their outfits. Ordinary burlap clothes.

Raymond and the others were afraid of being killed, so they could only silently follow everyone's arrangements.

Many people, really many people, at least dozens of people are waiting!

The serfs noticed that there were merchants escorting goods through the guard posts. They were not inspected in this way, but they had to pay taxes.

The sergeant asked the infantry to check and confirm that there were no strange spots or extra limbs on the Raymond family, and they were generally healthy.

One person received a bowl of gruel, and then lined up to eat while walking.

"What are we doing?" Raymond asked the man in front of him who didn't look like a serf.

"Waiting for the bus, ah, Taal's teeth! Why are there so many people now! It takes a long time to wait for the bus." The man in front complained: "I am not a fugitive slave, but I have to wait for the bus with the fugitive slave!"

Upon seeing this, Raymond dared not say more.

After waiting for an hour or so, they were finally lined up. There were more than a dozen double-horse, four-wheeled, uncovered carts, each of which could seat eight people, and Raymond and the others followed suit.

"Okay, you can pass. Walk along the road. After about three hours, you will leave the forest and see the village. When you get there, you will ask how to get to the office. Naturally someone will show you the way. Signage." The sergeant nodded, indicating that the Raymond family can leave.

It took another few hours, and the time came in the afternoon. The family finally walked out of the forest. The carriage unloaded these people and returned immediately.

The scenery outside the forest stunned the family. The lush plains were densely covered with farmland. The clear water channels led the water from the Chinon River. The tall waterwheels kept turning along the creek. Wearing trouser legs, harvesting slabs of winter wheat, wide avenues are paved with stone slabs, people come and go on the road, and a huge windmill is turning. Looking around, there are no lazy people in the countryside, which is completely different from the north.

The clear bells ringed inside the village, and the outside of the village was built with a strong wall made of wood and stone. The wall is about three meters high, which is a height that makes Raymond feel at ease.

At least the fences and fences more than a meter taller than the original village in my own village seemed much more reassuring.

The guards were refreshed. They stood upright, wearing helmets, holding spears, and wearing breastplates, watching the distance. On the road, a handsome knight with gorgeous clothes, riding a tall horse, triumphantly Walking down the avenue, there were two hares and a few pheasants hanging behind his horse, and he moved forward among the calls of several knights. They all rode on horses and hung their prey, talking loudly about this time. How many gains from hunting, praise the fairies in the lake.

Where the master knight passed by, the serfs stopped their work and bent over to greet him. It can be seen that these serfs sincerely worship and respect the master knight. The master knight feels good about himself. He took one from the back of the horse. Pheasant, threw it to the ground: "Count me pity you! Whoever grabs it belongs to who!"

"Gluck~" The pheasant was untied, fell to the ground and ran all over the ground. When many serfs saw this, they let go of their work and rushed up to grab the pheasant. After a sturdy serf grabbed it, The other serfs gave up the fight, laughed at this man's good luck, returned to their positions, and continued to do farm work.

This was placed in their village. The serfs had to grab their heads and shed blood. Raymond thought that the southern knight masters seemed more approachable. If there were serfs greetings, they would nod their heads in response. The serfs worked very hard, unlike their own villages. They were all lazily and didn't want to work, anyway, how much they received in the end belonged to the lord.

Several carriages were advancing on the avenue, filled with grains, and some carriages were used to carry passengers. The coachmen waited at the entrance of the town to solicit passengers. This kind of carriage was much more luxurious. Not only did it have carriages, but also painted with paint. It has to be beautiful and colorful.

This should be for the rich, right? It seems that business is pretty good?

Near the village, groups of children are playing under the leadership of a priest of the goddess of mercy. The priest of the goddess of mercy looks in her forties. Twenty or thirty children are pulling her sleeves and skirts around her. After spinning around and playing games, there was laughter and laughter in the fields. The female priest took the opportunity to teach the children to believe in Ms. Salia, and at the same time broke two dough cakes for the children to eat.

Lots of kids! Can people here afford so many children? Raymond thought in surprise.

It was afternoon, and the night was getting closer. A cold wind blew across the field. Raymond shivered. The family was tired and hungry. They moved their tired steps and gradually approached the village.

Raymond tried to say to a serf who was harvesting wheat on the side of the road: "Hello, gentleman, how can I get to the office?"

The serf’s skin became wheat-colored because he was often exposed to the sun. He was wearing a straw hat, and his animal skin clothes looked very thick. At least Raymond looked warm, and the serf’s figure also appeared quite strong. His face looked ruddy and healthy. He saw someone asking him for directions, so he put down his sickle: "Listen to your accent, it's from the north?"

"Well, we are from the north. The family was hit by a disaster and we couldn't pay the tax. So we escaped. I heard that the days in the south will be better, so I wanted to find some work." Leimen squeezed a smile, he had Concealed.

"Oh, so, welcome to Redfish Village. Isn't it true that the North has been suffering from disasters recently? Why are the northerners who have come recently." Thomas, who was pulling the corner of his clothes behind him, looked at the exhausted and unsteady old mother, and then said: "My name is Bono. To Jin Town, the city gate will also be closed. You have no time to enter the city. If you don't dislike the land, you can rest in my wood shed at night. You can enter the city and go to the office early the next morning. There are signs on the road. "

"That's really grateful!" Raymond quickly thanked him.

How rich is the South than the North? Raymond noticed that the barn was filled with winter wheat, and the nearby houses were full of solid stone houses. Everyone’s complexion was very beautiful, filled with the joy of harvest. Every household had chickens and ducks, and the farmland could be seen even more. There are many cattle and goats in some homes, and bacon and smoked fish are hanging outside. When it's dinner time, cooking smoke rises from the chimneys of every household.

Quiet and peaceful view of the village.

The firewood room was cleaned up. Piles of firewood, straw-made beds and blankets were piled in it.

"Brother, brother, I'm so hungry!" Thomas whispered untimely.

Raymond looked at his bag embarrassedly, only half of brown bread was left in it.

Seems to be out of food.

"You have traveled a long way from the north, right? Hard work, come, eat something!" Bono came in with five brown breads and a pot of soup: "Thank you, count, thank you, Countess, thank you Madam, it’s your luck to escape here."

"Oh! No! We can't eat!" Raymond was taken aback and shook his hand, five brown breads, and a pot of soup made with vegetables and flour. These meals have been enough for four or five days at their house!

"Hey? Why don't you eat it?" Bono obviously didn't figure out the situation. He strangely placed the bread basket, a pot of soup, and a few wooden bowls of spoons in front of the Raymond family: "Escape so far, you should There’s nothing to eat, right? It’s okay. This is what I gave you. Let’s eat. I have to go into the city tomorrow. Then we will go together."

"No, everyone pays taxes to the lord, how can we eat your rations for a few days? No, we will just deal with it." The old mother shook her head quickly, she knew the serfs by nature. How difficult it is to keep some rations.

The fleeing itself is their own fault, how can they hurt others again?

"Huh?" Who knows Bono is even stranger. The serf first looked at Raymond and his old mother, and then at Thomas, who was already swallowing, and said: "Wake up, when is this? ?"

"Your Excellency Earl Ryan has been here for five years! Who will lose a few brown bread now?"

"???"

"There are a lot of brown bread at home, and it is moldy when left. Really, I plan to follow you into the city tomorrow to sell some vegetables in the city. The children in the family have been clamoring for meat. I guess the day of the Holy Grail is approaching. It’s time to buy some meat."

"?????"

"Okay, let's eat~ Yankees are rare and weird." Bono couldn't stop his expression, he put down the things: "You eat first, I'm going back to see my five children~" Want to be more like-minded Let’s talk about "", WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Reading Literature", talks about life, and finds friends~
