I Will Be The Crowned King

intruder? !

An Sen's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

There were no traces of fighting around the four dead Faithless Knights, proving that the place where the battle or at least the attack took place was not here.

Ambush outsiders... settlements that cannot be easily discovered... slogans full of intimidation... time is not long...

The colonial settlement controlled by the Old God faction spellcaster is likely to be near here? !

But no matter whether it is supernatural or within the range visible to the naked eye, there is no trace of "village" or similar rural settlements at all - there are still countless towering ancient trees in the distance, and there are only three people under their feet just now. The "forest path" that I stepped on.

where is it?

No, the biggest problem doesn't stop there.

The four corpses in front of me... If my memory didn't deviate, I should have noticed its existence when I approached it less than ten meters away.

Such a conspicuous sign, did you see it when you were about to get close to your face? !

While Anson was confused, the girl had already pulled out a brand-new steam spray gun from her back, and her vigilant muzzle was paying attention to her surroundings. There was a grenade and a smoke bomb hidden under the sleeve of her left hand holding the gun stock.

"Don't... don't shoot, put it away!" Phil Cressey finally came to his senses, and as soon as he turned around, he was frightened to death by the black muzzle, and shouted in a panic:

"Those natives who have dealt with the colonies are very sensitive to the 'gun' thing! If they were seen, they would think it was a declaration of war..."

"boom!"

Before the words were finished, a roar came from the jungle.

The terrified Phil didn't have time to scream. The loud noise penetrated his eardrum as if he had been hammered, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

He was lucky... At the same time as the gunshot, Lisa, who was tapped on the shoulder by Anson, pulled the trigger at the same time; the whistling lead bullet was shattered and deflected, and finally did not penetrate someone's head.

Without hesitation, the girl decisively smashed the smoke bomb under her feet, and her petite body instantly rolled into a natural bunker beside a tree trunk.

At the same time, Anson pounced on Phil Crecy, who was lying on the ground, then took out the "Anonymous Glasses" from his arms and put them on, dragging Phil to hide opposite Lisa.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Gunshots like firecrackers rang out one after another, blasting dozens of flashes of fire in the forest; not only bullet marks, but even the trajectory of bows and arrows could be seen in the smoke that enveloped the forest.

Soon, the smoke cleared.

In the originally deserted woods, dozens of figures suddenly appeared with spears and short cannons, hatchets and bows.

Some of them wore caps or thick hoods, grey or brown coats, trousers and scarves, in colonial fashion; others were wrapped in warm, thick leather and looked like natives from head to toe...but Some of the colonists also carried bows and arrows, while the natives carried brand-new rifles with powder boxes and ammo bags.

Anson's expression was extremely solemn.

Just like the four corpses just now, until the moment of the gunshot, the self who had activated the "ability" throughout the whole process "sees" these figures in his mind; before that, don't talk about the sight, and even the breath is not aware of it.

"This is a warning!"

With a slightly young voice, the ambushers who surrounded the three suddenly gave way from the front; a young figure in a half-top hat and pioneer attire, holding a knight's saber, walked into the encirclement, coldly. Staring at the three:

"Foreign invaders, you have already broken into the Baker family's territory; put down your weapons and capture them, otherwise... kill them!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, the girl hiding under the tree trunk had already pulled the trigger again with her right hand. This time, what was hidden under her left hand turned into two grenades. At the same time, she quietly lifted the hem of her clothes that was blocking the revolver around her waist.

Anson, who also ignored the warning, remained motionless, constantly searching the surrounding terrain and figures in his mind, looking for answers that he had not noticed before.

The faint smoke of gunpowder mixed with the undissipated fog made the air in the forest a little depressing.

The young man straightened the worn but clean top hat on his head and waved lightly behind him.

call--

The figures that surrounded the three took a half step forward, and the black muzzle and the icy arrowhead were aimed at the whole body.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

At the moment when it was about to be triggered, Phil Crecy, who was lying on the ground, jumped up suddenly, and made a standard "surrender posture" with both hands:

"I, we don't, it's not an invasion... an invader! Yes... was sent to negotiate!"

Stuttering words, panic-stricken expression - if he hadn't seen his unusually calm appearance when he got up, Anson might have thought that the Phil Cressy in front of him was not the same person he knew.

"negotiation?"

The young man raised his hand to stop the crowd behind him, but his eyes remained vigilant.

"In the name of the lord, come to negotiate with the lord of this settlement and sign a covenant of peace and non-aggression!"

Feil's words were not stagnant in the slightest, and he was so fluent that he seemed to memorize them well in advance: "The war has come to an end, and Yangfan City has a new owner, so naturally I have to negotiate with the surrounding neighbors!"

At first glance, these words seemed reasonable, causing the young man to frown slightly, as if he had fallen into some incomprehensible state: "Then, then your lord is..."

"Anson Bach!"

Phil said solemnly without changing his face: "Under Draco Wilters, he is a mere messenger under the lord!"

Um?

Hearing an "familiar" name, An Sen couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

And the "warmhearted" Fer did not forget them: "And the two next to me are the brothers and sisters Franz, Ludwig Franz and Sophia Franz, the adults' personal attendants, and the next Together we shoulder the important task of visiting the Baker family!"

Lisa's mouth widened, and she almost pulled the trigger and shot the guy who ran the train with his mouth full.

The young man frowned and seemed to be making a very difficult decision. After a long silence, he said coldly:

"I still don't believe you outsiders... but I can take you to Baker Town first and let my family decide whether to accept your representation."

As he said that, he waved his hands around again, causing the attackers who had surrounded the three to spread out a little.

Phil immediately showed an expression like an amnesty, and even didn't forget to take off his hat and bow his head slightly. The familiar action once again brought back some not-so-good memories of Anson.

The young man on the opposite side didn't care, and while calling for the crowd to evacuate, he motioned the three to follow; the colonists and indigenous people with long guns and short cannons surrounded them in the center as if they were escorting criminals.

And just when the group was about to leave, the young man suddenly stopped and turned to look at the three with a very cautious expression.

"Before we set off, there is one more thing that needs to be understood." He raised his right hand and pointed to the four figures whose heads were cut open and hung from the branches:

"What's their relationship to you...?"

While speaking, the young man's right hand had quietly pressed the handle of the knife; the surrounding colonists and indigenous people also turned around, staring at the three people's every move from all directions, their eyes icy.

"It doesn't matter!"

Phil Crecy was the first to answer: "I don't know each other at all, and I don't have the slightest impression - who are they?"

"It really doesn't matter?" The young man's expression moved slightly, his vigilant eyes slowly moving to An Sen next to him.

"I really don't know what you're talking about." Anson also kept his face and heart beating:

"I guess they may be deserters from the enemy who fought with us before - if that's the case, thank you all for solving these troubles for us!"

"Yeah, yeah, thank you so much; these people deserve to be slashed with a thousand swords, it's not a pity to die!"

Phil, who was beside him, also smiled and agreed.

But the young man did not continue to look at them, and turned his attention to the last petite figure.

Looking at the indifferent face of the young man, Lisa looked at the four corpses above her head, looked around, looked at the secretly nervous Phil and the calm Anson, and then...

"Grumble."

The protest of the little belly can be clearly heard in the dead forest.

Staring with extremely serious eyes, the girl surrounded by a lot of long guns and short cannons looked at the young man:

"I'm hungry, when will dinner be served?"

……………………

The journey to the shell family's territory was very peaceful, not only did they not encounter dead bodies hanging from trees, but even animals in the forest were not encountered.

The colonists and natives who escorted the three - or rather - kept a considerable distance from them, always kept silent; not only did they not say a word to them, but they did not even communicate with each other. , not even whispering and eye gestures.

If it was intentional, it would prove that their vigilance in dealing with them had reached an unimaginable level; if not, then the quality of these "village villagers" was beyond even the storm division's, which was very strange.

But then again, the fact that a group of natives and colonists can live in harmony is extremely strange in itself.

The young man walked at the front of the team, and while leading the way, he did not forget to introduce the situation of the settlement to the three.

Calling himself Nora Baker, he was the eldest son of Lord Baker and Lady Camille and heir to the Baker family, who ruled over "Baker's Land" and all surrounding forests, rivers and meadows.

According to his gestures, An Sen roughly speculated that it was roughly the entire territory of the virgin forest in the northern suburbs of Yangfan City.

About ten years ago, this place was just an ordinary colony, and there were about three or four small settlements of indigenous people around. In order to compete with each other for territory, food, and water sources, various battles often broke out, and each other was killed and injured.

This state lasted for a long time, until Master Baker brought Mrs. Camille and Nora, who was still a teenager, to this land.

He used very gentle means to calm down the disputes between the two sides, and persuaded the colonists to open their arms and accept the indigenous people who lived around the settlement; Under the persuasion of the master, he accepted the "new civilization" brought by the colonists.

The two sides put aside their prejudice and live in harmony under the leadership of Mr. Baker, living a secluded and peaceful and prosperous life.

As for why this Master Baker can do things that countless empires, Clovis colonists, and even the army can't do, the reason is very simple...

"My father is a great believer and caster of the Three True Gods." Nora Baker said with great pride:

"He was also a colonist, but he soon discovered the hypocrisy of the Ring of Order and the devotion of this land to the three true gods, so today's Baker family has abandoned the past and merged with the land of rest, each other."

"With his devotion to the Three True Gods, he resolved all the conflicts and disputes between the two sides, and used his own power to protect the entire settlement from any outside invasion. He has protected this land for ten years."

Ten years... Assuming that the other party didn't lie, this settlement controlled by the caster has existed for ten years, and it is not a threat that has just emerged recently, as someone said.

Anson turned his head slowly and gave Phil a meaningful glance; the latter twitched his throat and forced a smile of unknown meaning.

"I also have a younger sister who was born when my father became the lord of this settlement."

Nora Baker, who didn't notice the expressions of the two, lowered her head and looked at Lisa with a somewhat doting expression:

"Her name is Lulu, and she is about the same age as you; I have a hunch that you will definitely become good friends who can talk about everything."

Lisa didn't speak, she always clutched her "gulugulu" stomach, dragged Anson's clothes listlessly, and followed behind.

Nora didn't care either and continued to lead the way.

Finally, as the evening approached, the crowd finally stopped; along the forest path below, a small village and town emerged from the jungle.

Winding fences, farmhouses built of thatch and logs, vegetable gardens surrounded by fences... and surrounded by the entire town and town, a three-storey stone building, which looks somewhat similar to Clovis's recent few A very popular mansion.

Like the previous "corpse road signs" and the attackers, before approaching here, Ansen did not find even a trace of the existence of this village.

When they arrived, a large number of people had gathered outside the gate of the village and town, and it seemed that they should have been waiting here early.

There are old and young, big and small, indigenous people and colonists... There are three or four hundred people in the battle~www.wuxiaspot.com~ should be everyone in the village.

In front of the crowd was a middle-aged man who also wore a half-top hat and a black trench coat; beside him stood a good-looking lady in her mid-thirties; A little girl who was secretly hiding behind a lady's dress was peeping this way.

Not surprisingly, this should be the Baker family... Anson secretly said in his heart.

Just before the three of them spoke, Nora Baker suddenly dropped them and ran quickly to the middle-aged man's side. The family smiled kindly, or took off their hats or raised the corners of their skirts:

"VIPs of Sail City, welcome to Baker Collar."

Just as the family greeted them politely, the surrounding villagers, whether they were on the opposite side or the villagers who had just attacked them, bowed and saluted in unison, moving in unison.

An Sen's face was slightly stiff.

This place...is getting weirder and weirder.
