Knights of Crowe rode their warhorses over low chimneys jutting from the face of the hill.

These small chimneys are constantly emitting smoke from burning materials, accompanied by the smell of food, which makes Knight Crowe show a little hesitation on his expressionless face.

But after he turned his head and glanced at the army waiting in the distance, he stopped hesitating. After all, many young men in the army were very tired after going through today's battle, and just needed a safe and warm place to rest.

And this group of uninformed villagers hesitated in front of the army. Knight Crowe really didn't know how their brains grew.

"If you really don't have enough knowledge and experience, you will run into walls everywhere on various trivial matters."

He therefore recalled the days when he worked hard in the army when he was young, and how the youths from the border areas competed with other youths from prosperous areas to obtain the few opportunities to become knights in the army.

The pressure and struggle of those days are now the hard and difficult memories that Crow Knight doesn't want to reverberate.

On the top of the hill stood a metal cone. The war horse raised its front hoof and touched it curiously, making the sound of metal plates being bumped.

"It's empty, that's right." He raised his head to look at the sky, then looked around, and understood why a lot of metal was spent on such a thing on the top of the hill where the village is located.

At this moment, the top of the hill where he is located is the highest position in the surrounding grassland area.

The villagers planted lush pastures on the gentle hills, and this place is obviously a place that is easily struck by lightning. In order to prevent fire, the locals built such a thing to guide the power of lightning strikes in severe weather.

Without saying anything more, Knight Crowe fell silent, concentrating on controlling the life force in his body.

-

Many people around looked at Knight Crowe at the top of the hill. Among the outsiders, the merchants were both curious and afraid. Those who were bold and knowledgeable dared to stay outside and watch. They didn't know what would happen. At this moment, they had already entered The interior of Kamsey Village went for a drink break.

The Kendalls all looked at the actions of Crow Knight with a little anger. Although today they fought hard and won a lot of harpies, everyone was still overwhelmed by the fierce battle.

If everything goes smoothly afterwards, then naturally this tone will dissipate soon.

But this small village refused them to directly enter for the night, which made many soldiers very unhappy.

Obviously, you were bullied by harpies on the Strange Wind Grassland, and we just killed a lot of monsters, so it’s fine if you don’t get welcomed and congratulated, how can you keep us who have done good deeds away?

How unreasonable!

Although the status of a civilized person and a citizen of the same kingdom prevented the soldiers from saying that they would do something more vicious, but the strong men with the status of Crow Knight and Rumi Knight gave this rude village a "little" punishment Twice, it suits their wishes.

Regarding this order, the master of the army, Baron Kendall, had already known about this order when Knight Crowe taught the army affairs, so he issued such an order.

Punishment is in line with the wishes of the soldiers, but it cannot cause too many casualties so that the local villagers and caravans are afraid of them and refuse to cooperate or trade.

As for the local villagers, when they followed the sight of the overnight merchants and looked at Knight Crowe, they felt something was wrong.

Although I don't know what this person is going to do, but the other party directly rode his horse and forcibly entered the village, and went to the highest point of the village, no matter how you look at it, he has no good intentions.

Some young people picked up the tools and simple weapons at hand, and went straight to the top of the hill along the path that was often walked on the hill.

At this time, there was a loud noise at the gate of the village. Many people turned their heads and found that the thick wooden door of the village had been forcibly broken open. After the hostile move, Shi Shiran gave all the local villagers a cold look, and then returned to the army outside the village.

This accident shocked everyone in the village. The villagers blew the warning whistle and small warning bell to prevent the harpies, and the chaotic and urgent sounds resounded throughout the village.

Not only the seemingly desolate outside, but also in the whole village located inside the hill, after hearing the warning sound, people kept ringing the small warning bell in the inner passage, causing the village divided into various parts to become nervous and chaotic.

Some young people looked hostilely at the businessmen who had just entered, wondering if these outsiders were coming to play tricks.

However, the merchants who had just witnessed the battle in the afternoon just shook their heads and laughed at the people in Kamsey village in a low voice.

Just when everyone was in a mess, the ground suddenly shook.

Kua Cha, Kua Cha!

The tables, chairs, and benches were shaking randomly, and the food and drinks on them also fell down and scattered all over the ground.

"The earth is angry! The earth is angry! It is Mother Earth who is angry, kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Stupid! Just run!"

Everyone was in a mess, and even the lamp holders embedded in the walls were shaking, making the erratic lighting aggravate everyone's uneasiness and panic.

No one cared about the ringing of the alarm bell anymore. Some people ran home, some desperately wanted to find their family members, and some people collapsed on the ground, showing that this person had never been in a hurry in his life before. What is it like to experience an earthquake?

And outside the hill, a group of villagers who wanted to go up the mountain to ask Knight Crow to question them, because of the sudden earthquake, everyone fell down and rolled down the hill.

The guys in their hands were all in a panic and didn't know where they lost them. Some people kowtowed to the ground and begged for mercy loudly, only praying that the mother of the earth would forgive them who had never done anything bad.

Others ran forcibly towards the entrance of the village amid the constant tremors on the ground. Even if they fell down many times and their arms and legs were bruised, they had to return home to rescue their families. He kept muttering something, his eyes were numb, and his movements became more urgent.

No one cares about the Krow Knight on the top of the hill anymore.

They didn't know that all of this was initiated by Knight Crowe.

Hey, how could they know that.

-

The faces of the caravan stewards of several large chambers of commerce changed again and again. Although they saw how the Kendals defeated a large number of harpies from a distance in the afternoon, they also saw several flying monsters rising rapidly from the ground. Tall dirt pillars.

However, due to the continuous release of magic by Baron Kendall, who was located in the middle of the army, it was easy for these caravan stewards to think that those pillars that appeared suddenly were actually magic released by Baron Kendall through magic props.

In this regard, these people are lamenting in private that this so-called "little nobleman from a remote border area" really has wealth that ordinary people cannot understand.

Of course, they quickly 'guessed' that these powerful magic props were mostly magic treasures handed down by the ancestor of Baron Kendall.

Good things are good, but the magic cost of maintenance and recharging is estimated to be a staggering figure.

Even the presidents of their big chamber of commerce probably have to worry about a number.

How did they know that Baron Kendall does have powerful magic props and equipment, but this expensive magic props are not inherited from his ancestors, but the baron himself after spending money to sweep goods in the capital of the Northwest Province for many years. accumulated.

And the huge pillar of soil that rose from the ground was not a magic item, but was born from a powerful knight on the top of the hill in front of them at this time.

This point, they all clearly realized at this moment.

Several people looked at each other, and felt that they couldn't understand what the northern army, which was going to the border of the southern province to participate in the war, looked like.

A mighty knight who can cause tremors in the earth. Seriously, is this a baron with no reputation in his hands?

A knight with this strength can even leave an entire volume of poems sung by bards in an area.

"Be careful, everyone."

someone said.

"That's right, we have to re-evaluate this army."

It was also said.

"Stupid, this army is just an appearance, just like weeds wither and die every year. The key is not the grass outside, but its roots."

Some people criticize unkindly.

"That's right, Kendall County in the Northwest Province? It seems that we should send someone over there to have a look."

"It might be an interesting place."

Knight Crowe gradually slowed down the life energy that was operating at full strength.

The power used at this moment seems to be quite powerful, and it scared the people of this village to death, and they all panicked. In fact, for Knight Crowe, the skills and consumption of life energy are not as good as the solid earth pillars rising from the ground during the afternoon battle.

After all, it only slightly causes tremors that can affect humans, the scope is not large, and there are not many earth and rocks under control.

Thanks to the villagers of Kamsey Village, their hard work has hollowed out most of this originally stable and solid hill.

Although it still looks solid, but that is for the general case.

Perhaps in the eyes of the army, it is very difficult to attack such an underground village, and the losses must be considerable. But to Knight Crowe, the whole village hidden under the hill is like a fortress built by children with sand on the edge of a big lake.

It looks beautiful and strong, but in fact, if you pour a bucket of water, most of it will collapse.

(Note, Knight Crowe lives in an inland kingdom and has never seen the sea, but he has seen a few sandy beaches on the edge of similar rivers and lakes.)

He just controlled his own life energy, invaded the main body of the hill to carry the soil and rocks, slightly affected the shaking, and as a result, the entire inside and outside of the hill shook endlessly.

-

"Hahahaha, look at them, they look panic-stricken!"

Baron Kendall deliberately used exaggerated voice and expression to act out his emotions. Sure enough, seeing the baron like this, the soldiers also laughed loudly, and the atmosphere quickly became active.

Some people roared indiscriminately, and some people shouted the honorific title of Knight Crowe.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Baron Kendall withdrew his pretended smile, waved his hand, and motioned for Knight Rumi to lead his soldiers into the village in front of him.

"Remember, don't have a big conflict, just stay overnight, like those caravans. But if someone is not wise enough to provoke us, Rumi, don't let the children feel chilled, put the troublemaker's head on the spear , to warn others."

"Yes, my lord, I will do it according to the situation."

Then the order of the Rumi knight sounded loudly, and groups of soldiers strode towards the gate of the village first.

After they passed by, they completely destroyed and tore off the wooden gate destroyed by the Rumi knight, making it easier for the follow-up logistics carriage to enter.

In the panic, the local villagers didn't care about these things, and they ran back to the villages in the hills to check the damage to their families and family property.

No one stopped them, and the army soon all entered the village wall.

Keir finally completed his task, and led his people to find Baron Kendall in a carriage with a cash box, and showed the baron several boxes of scattered coins he found.

After these coins were broken, they occupied a larger volume than before. Looking at several boxes, in fact, if the coins were intact and placed neatly, one box would be enough.

The baron nodded in satisfaction. Although these coins are not good-looking after being damaged, they can reduce the loss of his wealth a lot after all.

Keir saw that the Baron was in a good mood, so he told Baron Kendall all about what he did and who performed well during the process.

This is a tangible contribution that will be recorded by the clerk next to the baron. Those who were named by Kiel all smiled. Although they cannot fight, they can still make contributions.

Moreover, this young man, Keir, is really young and straightforward, and he does what he says, not as slippery and greedy as some middle-aged people. Bribe benefits do.

In contrast, Keir, who didn't have so many tricks and tricks, did things truthfully and reported the process and credits truthfully.

Baron Kendall saw all this. Although he admired the aggressiveness of a young man like Keir, he also understood that this young man was very easy to cause trouble, so he just gave a few words of encouragement and let everyone back down.

-

The people in Kamsey Village recovered from the panic, and they bought important news from friends they knew through the merchant.

It turned out that the sudden anger of the earth just now was not a sign of disaster because they dug and settled in the hills and angered the mother of the earth. It was completely triggered by a powerful knight.

And this knight is one of the troops who will come here overnight.

They directly opened the inner gate of the village and the hills, welcoming the Kendall army to spend the night here, and they will definitely provide the best service and provide them with the convenience they need most.

When the high-level army, including Knight Crowe, entered the village, some old people who were really in power in the village only dared to glance at Knight Crowe, who was glowing with earthy yellow light, out of the corner of his eye.

Because Knight Crowe used his life energy with all his strength before, at this moment, his whole body was faintly glowing with energy that could be seen by people.

"Would it be a little bad? My whole body is shining."

Knight Crowe raised his arms in embarrassment, looking at the khaki shimmer that broke through the silver-gray steel armor.

"No, on the contrary, this will make the villagers here live in peace and avoid unnecessary troubles."

Baron Kendall whispered to Knight Crowe, and Knight Rumi next to him also had a smirk on his face, and curiously poked the shimmer of energy on Knight Crowe.

"You say so, so be it."

Knight Crowe originally wanted to spend a little time calming down the active life energy before entering the village, but Baron Kendall stopped him from doing so, saying that it would be beneficial.

Looking at it this way, the villagers secretly looked at him with awe and fear, which is also very interesting.

At least there will be no conflict tonight.

The real entrance of Kamsey Village is at the mine-like entrance mentioned earlier. The carriages are parked outside and fixed, and other people slowly enter the village from here.

After entering from the entrance, there is a spacious passage. There are several narrow but deep reinforced rooms on both sides of the passage. At a glance, you can tell that it is a place to store some supplies.

Deeper is the place where horses and animals are raised overnight, and the town militiamen who drive the carriages lead the horses into it one after another. The appearance here is similar to the previous warehouse, but it is divided into smaller places for livestock to live in.

There are not only horses and livestock from outsiders, but also horses and large flocks of sheep from local villagers.

It seems that the place is smaller than the previous Thor village, but in fact, the rooms on both sides of these cave-like passages are narrow, but very long and deep.

There is no end in sight.

"This project is not small."

Baron Kendall, who was familiar with all this, did not rush to rest, but surrounded by his subordinates, he visited the place with curiosity and scrutiny.

Keir didn't 'visit' with Lord Baron. After he arranged his horses with Knight Crow's personal guards, he helped Xuefangsite to the upper level of the passage.

It turns out that this place is like a tall building, with layers of layers.

Different from the downward digging in Thor Village that I have seen before, the people of Kamsey Village used this solid hill to dig upward in the opposite way.

The entrance passage they came in was actually the first floor, and they could come to the upper floor by following the stairs that often appeared on both sides.

The first floor is narrow and deep warehouses, stables, and breeding farms, and the second floor above is a spacious and empty house for outsiders.

The space is more spacious, but the length is much smaller, and it can accommodate thousands of people living here at the same time for a short time.

The second floor is separated by a passage in the middle, which is the same as the first floor. This spacious passage can also be used by various outsiders for trading. The villagers also built a small adobe brick and wood here. A small shop selling various village goods and services.

It’s just that the ‘Earth Rage’ happened before, and it’s a bit of a mess here. Many villagers who understand what’s going on still have stinky faces, and they are cleaning up the overturned tables, chairs and cabinets.

The next level is naturally the floor used by the locals. There is only one staircase leading to the upper floor, and at the end of the spacious passage on the second floor, there are not only checkpoints like city gates, but also more than a dozen armed village militiamen guarding here with weapons.

People from the village can go there, but as long as they are outsiders, they are not allowed to enter the upper floors.

"It's quite interesting."

Keir and Bloodyaster sat at a food stall, eating the mutton that was just served.

Xueyasite was very weak. While drinking the broth, he shrugged and said slowly: "Tomorrow you will see the Strange Wind Town on the Strange Wind Grassland, which is more interesting. As long as tomorrow is not the same as today."

Kiel smacked his lips: "I don't think monsters can react so fast. Although people often think that monsters are a whole, but as far as I see, when the monster group is small, it is naturally a whole. But when it develops to monsters With the size of the Wind Plain, they must live in individual settlements~www.novelbuddy.com~ Bloodyaster had never heard anyone say that before, so he looked at Keel and listened carefully.

"The reason is simple. When too many monsters gather together, unless they continue to slaughter, there will not be enough food for all of them to eat. A large group of wild horses or sheep can feed them for a few days? Therefore, there must be a After the number threshold is reached, the monsters will spontaneously separate other groups to other places according to the local food output."

Keir fiddled with the dinner plates and wooden bowls on the table: "Look, this is a group of monsters, and the whole table is the Strange Wind Grassland. This is the monster settlement we encountered today. Here, there is a big circle around it. Their hunting grounds, their homes. And here is another monster settlement. This is their hunting grounds and homes. It is impossible for the two sides to be next to each other, and it is easy to cause disputes. Just like the territories of the nobles, what is yours is yours, and what is mine is mine. It's mine. It can't be approached at will, except for monsters who specialize in news delivery, or young monsters who exchange and intermarry."

Xueyasite smiled: "You guy, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are, and you are talking about intermarriage. Why don't they hold a wedding? Sing a little song to bless the bride and groom. Haha."

Keir also smiled, but the corners of his mouth curled up: "I'm really not sure about this. As you can see, the harpies are intelligent, and they have their own language. It's not sure that they have their own language. What about the currency? What will be used as currency?"

"That's all right, all right, Keel, the bard who drinks the most doesn't dare to brag like this, come and eat. Thank you for saving me, I invite this meal." After a pause, he continued: "And there will be Where it is needed, you say, and I will do it. I owe you a life, and I will use my life to pay it back."

Keel picked up a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth without saying a word.

Just nodded.
