Chapter 44 - Burning the Village

Black Rock Principality.

Jenna rode a horse fast on the road. After a day's journey, she felt a little tired, but fortunately there was a village not far ahead. She had visited that place a few years ago. A field surrounded by a low stone wall.

Horses' hoofs stepped on the weedy road, bringing up bursts of dirt and grass clippings, and the air was a little chilly near the night.

As Zena approached the destination in her memory, a flame of fire appeared in the distance, and the chaotic shouts gradually became clear. Her heart tightened, she picked up the whip and twitched the horse, and then accelerated to the front.

The village in my memory is currently being burned, and the flames rise from the wet straw, with thick blue smoke, slowly drying everything around, and the village is a chaotic scene.

A group of people in chain mail and covered iron armor were driving some villagers out of their houses with swords and guns, scavenging for coins and various properties.

An unshaven soldier rested on top of the old woman on the ground.

"Say, where is there something else hidden?" He looked impatient.

"Haha, this girl is very pretty, she'll follow me tonight." On the other side, a wretched soldier tied a struggling woman with a rope, and at the same time he got up and down.

"Cut, I still want to resist." An iron spear was pulled out from a middle-aged man, bringing out a burst of rich blood, and then the dead body slowly fell beside the house, the fire illuminated the face of astonishment and unwillingness , time seems to freeze here.

These heavily armed soldiers dragged the villagers out of their houses forcibly, and beat or stabbed them with weapons if they resisted.

They were driven to one side, kneeling on the ground, under guard, while the other soldiers moved the contents of the house and under the cellar to the open space on the other side, and loaded them into carriages.

Some old people were directly killed by these people with weapons, while young men and women were tied up under the threat of cold weapons. The cries of children and women and the sobbing of the crowd were particularly desolate against the sound of flames.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Jie Na's eyes were split open. Although many of those villagers were just a one-sided relationship, in her image they were all honest and simple ordinary people. Why did you treat them like this?

She rushed into the village on a horse, rolled over, clenched the scabbard in her hand, and stepped forward with heavy steps.

"What are you doing!"

"What?"

Several soldiers turned their heads to look at the girl who came suddenly, and saw that she was wearing a leather jacket with a long knife hanging from her belt. Judging from her dress, she should have a good background and some martial arts.

A little leader came over with a long spear and said to the strange girl: "You better ignore the affairs here, these people are all diehards who support the 'Bow Hunting Sect', and many of our brothers died in the fight with the sect. in their fight."

"However, what you are doing is too cruel." The girl looked at the scene in front of her, holding a breath in her chest, and clenched one hand gradually.

"Cruelty, you're laughing to death, where did you come from, the eldest lady of the unholy world." The soldier leader whistled and said disdainfully.

"That's how the war is. If they won, they wouldn't treat us like this. Those 'bow hunters' are really good people. You've been tricked by them before, right? When there was a famine, a bag of rice and a gold coin were really a loss. They sell it."

He estimated that the girl who came on horseback should be a young man from a certain mercenary family, a member of the 'Long Halberd Sect'. After all, there are not many girls in the local 'bow hunting faction' who practice swordsmanship and horseback riding.

"That's it, little girl, you'd better go back to breastfeeding, don't run around with a knife, hahaha." Some surrounding soldiers also roared.

"Maybe if you find a man to marry and have children sooner, you won't think about these messy things." These soldiers didn't think they were doing very evil things at all, but ordinary jobs. They were originally mercenaries running around, and they were not familiar with these compatriots in the Duchy of Heiyan at all, and they had no psychological burden to kill them.

Besides, isn't that the case with wars? If it weren't for these lucrative benefits, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives?

Now that they are victorious, they will naturally squeeze out every inch of the enemy's oil. Property, women, livestock, and fields will all be theirs. If it wasn't for these, why would they charge behind those mercenary captains.

"You guys!..." Jenna shouted angrily and pulled out the knife. The heavy and narrow long knife reflected cold light in the firelight.

"Yoyo, the eldest lady is angry, hahaha."

"Do you know that if you shoot at us, it is treason? Not only you, but also your family will be punished jointly and severally."

"I advise you to think carefully."

"Ha, it is estimated that you have read too many knight novels, and you have lost your mind, haha."

These soldiers are not afraid at all. Several of their leaders are also War Sequence 2. Naturally, they can perceive the general strength of this girl. Although it is good, it is not very useful given the large number of people on the side.

If it weren't for the scruples, the family background should not be easy to cultivate such a girl, they have already won a girl who is nosy. Now the army is in chaos, and one or two people are missing, which is normal.

After the outbreak of the war, some order in the Black Rock Principality began to collapse, and the previously repressed conflicts and resentments were directly exposed in a brutal way.

The sarcastic voices of the soldiers stimulated the girl who still maintained a righteous heart.

The knife rushed up, ready to use his own means to stop the tragedy.

hiss--

A slight spark flashed, and the sharp long knife directly cut open the weapon on the opposite side, breaking through the hard iron armor, and bringing out a long bloody hole on the body.

In a simple raid, the girl chopped down the three of them with a knife, letting them fall to the ground, curling up and wailing in pain.

"It's not easy, little girl. I'm going to order your knife."

A man in heavy armor walked over from behind, and soldiers respectfully made way out of the way. This man seems to be the leader of this team, with the strength of Sequence 4.

"The boss of Longke is here. She looks good now."

"Tsk tsk, this girl seems to be in good shape?" Although three people were cut down, the group of people settled down after the leader from the rear came over. Their leader, among the surrounding teams, is rare. Good hand, dealing with this little girl of Sequence 2 is simply not worth mentioning.

Wearing heavy armor covering his entire body, the man was more than two meters tall. His mountain-like body turned his back to the flames, huge and depressing, and the shadow under him slowly shrouded the thin girl in front of him.
