Chapter 20 The Thief and the Dragon
The hunters couldn't muster the courage to fight with the lord, and their combatants totaled only a dozen people.
And there are more than this number of guards in Sige Town.
The hunter hopes to use force to intimidate the lord, express his attitude, and make the latter retreat in spite of difficulties.
As long as the lords dare not enter the mountains, they can still maintain their old life.
But Roman was tough.
The hunter had to surrender.
Because he doesn't even need to send troops to attack the hunters, he only needs to seal off the mountains and cut off all exchanges between Sige Town and the hunters, and the hunters' quality of life will plummet.
In this era, it is difficult to meet all the needs of life by simply hunting.
In the cottages opened by hunters in the mountains, they also carry out multiple harvesting methods such as picking berries, mushrooms, farming, and hunting.
They regularly send furs, mountain products, game, etc. to Sige Town, or find merchants, and then exchange them for grain, cloth, and ironware and transport them to the mountains.
More, as agricultural officer, had no way of taxing them.
Hunters rely on the resources of the mountains, and their quality of life is much higher than that of farmers in Sige Town. The land in the mountains cannot grow much food, but they don’t have to take away 50% of the harvest from Moore, so they basically have no worries about food and clothing. This kind of life can basically be called a comfortable life.
The resources consumed by the hunters are only a very small part of Maul's life, so there is no need for him to take the risk of fighting with the hunters.
Otherwise, no matter who wins, it will be a lose-lose situation.
Now, a lord and two well-trained war knights have completely changed this situation.
Roman asked all hunters to withdraw from the village within a month and move to Sige Town.
This requirement puts hunters in a difficult position.
Roman didn't care about their feelings. The resources in the mountains could only support the dozens of people in the village. After moving out, the wealth created by these people would increase dozens of times.
He then needed a large population and was even prepared to buy slaves.
Then, Roman asked Dogg about the specific situation of the bandits in the mountains. Compared to Moore, he had lived in the mountains since he was a child and knew the situation of those people better.
Hunters are hunters, and dangerous thugs basically have their own separate residences.
It's just that after living for a long time, we will naturally have contact and know some basic information about each other.
Due to news congestion, long distances and Moore's failure to report, the true identities of these people have not been disclosed to the outside world.
The residents of Sige Town rarely encounter those dangerous elements.
Dog didn't hide anything. He said directly: "The dirty doctor's name is Galin. We hunters and people in Sig Town respect him very much. He knows knowledge and can cure diseases, but no one knows his origin."
"Jet, a deserter on the battlefield, came here because he had nowhere to go because he fled the battlefield without permission."
"The traitorous knight Dick. It is said that he killed the nobles he was loyal to. He was wanted by the nobles and somehow ended up wandering here."
"The thief Borg, you should have heard of him... He also killed a noble, stole all the wealth of that noble, and distributed them to the civilians. But after he left, those civilians were A nobleman has all been pushed to the gallows. You'd better not come into contact with the thief Borg, because he is very dangerous..."
At this time, deep in the mountains, there was a faint roar of a beast, interrupting Duota's words.
"Warcraft..." Duota looked solemnly, looking in the direction of the mountains.
The powerful beast is the Warcraft, because this kind of beast has terrible destructive power. In the forests and mountains, it is simply the incarnation of nature.
Once encountering a monster, even a group of hunters will suffer heavy casualties.
But correspondingly, the monster will bleed or be seriously injured. This is a conflict that both strive to avoid.
This powerful beast rarely attacks human settlements.
Of course, there are certain omnivores that can destroy crops in fields.
Although humans have invaded a part of nature, they have not pushed the Warcraft into a corner. They still have a large living space in this wild land, and this is the periphery of the mountains, and the Warcraft has a fixed territory.
Duota felt a little uneasy when he heard the roar. Roman also frowned, and then continued to ask: "Where is the other one? There should be more than just these people."
Hearing Roman's question, Duota hesitated.
He didn't really want to say it, but Roman looked directly at him.
He was an archer, his eyes were very cohesive and had a sense of oppression, which made Dota a little nervous.
"The last one is... Gweir, the witch of doom..."
…
Unknown time.
The thief Borg found the traitorous knight Dick.
The difficulty of living alone in the mountains is unimaginable for ordinary people, and extraordinary people cannot get a stable enough source of food.
Even so, they still hide in this mountain forest far away from the world, living in isolation and refusing to go out.
Dick was once a powerful war knight who had a fiefdom given to him by the nobles until he killed his lord.
From that moment on, there was no place for Dick in this land.
Borg came to Dick's cabin and said to Dick: "An evil dragon has entered the mountain."
Dick just looked at him.
Borg said to himself: "That evil dragon shouldn't be here! Why should it disturb the peace here!"
Dick was silent.
Borg's voice became more and more fierce: "He will not let us stay here. The evil dragon will send his minions to capture us. Those weak hunters will not resist, but will only increase the arrogance of the evil dragon. When the time comes, , you, me, Jet, and the dirty doctor can no longer stay here. And that unfortunate little witch will be sold to the church. Dick, can you bear to see that little witch burned alive?"
Dick finally spoke: "Why did you come to me?"
Borg's expression was ferocious: "Let him die a violent death before he destroys the peace here!"
Dick sighed: "Your madness is increasing day by day in the mountains. Your imagination will lead to your own destruction."
Borg said to himself: "Dick, let's do this together! Only in this way can we protect this only pure land. The noble will regard everything here as his treasure, and those treasures do not belong to him, he just A plunderer and a robber, he doesn’t deserve these things!”
Dick shook his head and said, "I won't help you."
Borg didn't seem to hear anything. He said frantically: "Let's go and kill the evil dragon! I will make him bleed and see if the blood is red! Then I will share the dragon's treasure with everyone!"
Dick sighed again: "Why didn't you go to Jett instead of me?"
Borg stared at Dick. But the latter was not afraid of the crazy thief.
Dick heard Borg say: "That deserter is a coward, he won't support me!"
Dick said: "No, Jet is very brave. He knew exactly what he was doing, so he chose to come to the mountains... Berg, go away, I will not join forces with you."
Borg suddenly became furious: "We all have the blood of the dragon on our hands. I fight for everyone on this land, but you stand idly by!"
Dick sighed: "Who are you fighting for? Are you going to kill Roman Armor? Or are you going to kill the shadow that has been lingering on you? You can't get rid of it. You often dream about that group of people. The person who died tragically, you feel like you strangled your mother to death with your own hands... You can't sleep peacefully, you often wake up with nightmares in the middle of the night, and you wake me up many times."
Dick looked at his neighbor with pity in his eyes: "Robin Borg, you have gone crazy a long time ago."
Borg said with certainty: "I'm not crazy! I know what I'm going to do!"
Dick said: "So what do you want to do?"
Borg said coldly: "Warcraft riot! Nobles died tragically!"
Dick shook his head: "Do you think you can easily kill the heirs of the Split Armor family? Even if you can, the anger of the Split Armor Archduke will destroy Sige Town... Borg, you are repeating the same mistakes, and everyone will be killed by you. , and where are you going to escape this time?”
God Borg muttered: "No! No! I won't run away anymore. I finally figured it out. I want to kill Roman Cracker and the fat pig in Sig Town. I want the evil dragon's food, The gold coins will be distributed to the poor who cannot afford to eat. I will also distribute the land in Sige Town to them. As long as they become the owners of this land, they will follow me to kill other evil dragons! All the evil dragons on the earth! As long as all those evil dragons are dead, everything will be fine..."
Dick still shook his head.
Borg's crazy expression suddenly calmed down.
He looked at Dick, waiting for his final response.
And Dick silently held the rusty knight's sword.
Borg turned and walked away.
Dick looked at Borg's leaving figure and remained silent.
Dick knew that no one could persuade a thief, especially when his heart was full of crazy ideas.
He slowly took out a blackened silver necklace from his arms, stared at it for a moment, and finally held it in his hand and sighed.
