If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

What is war?

Is it the mutual slaughter of the two armies?

Yes, but more than that.

The biggest impact of war is not the tragic battlefield, but countless families.

There are some Arctic pirates who go inland along the river.

The advantage of pirates is their strong mobility.

Some villagers found their longboats, but it was too late. In the era when communication was all done by shouting, it was impossible for the people who found the pirates to notify all the villagers.

So, the pirate team of about 20 people quickly went ashore.

They held axes, carried shields, moved their wrists, strode towards the farmland, and then raised their axes and chopped at the farmers who were a little stunned without hesitation.

It's time for summer harvest.

They were harvesting wheat, and the pirates were harvesting their lives.

In an instant, fear and trembling instantly grabbed their souls.

All the farmers screamed in fear and turned and ran.

The pirates chased behind them, using bows and arrows and flying axes to attack the fleeing farmers from a distance.

People were shot and fell, their bodies crushed the sparse wheat, and the blood that flowed soaked the wheat roots.

The hastily assembled militia team was about fifty people.

They had a clash with the Arctic pirates and were defeated in less than half a minute.

After that, all the villagers became lambs to be slaughtered.

...

When Nathan came to this village, he saw the scene after the looting.

Most of the houses were burned down, and corpses were scattered everywhere. Some were looted, and some were killed - guards and farmers died on the ground, women died on the table, and babies died in the bed.

The originally peaceful and poor village now appeared dead silent.

When he rode by on horseback, he could not hear any sound.

The news of this era was blocked severely, and Nathan was shocked to find that the pirates' aggressive momentum was so fierce.

This place was far away from the coastline, but it was also looted and massacred.

This place was like this, what about Tal County, which was closer to the coast?

Nathan had a bad premonition in his heart.

He rode as fast as he could, rushing day and night.

More and more tragic scenes came into his sight.

Houses turned to ashes,

Livestock were slaughtered,

The dead were silent,

The living had no end.

Those scenes made him feel the same, his heart was heavy, and he wanted to scream in pain.

Nathan rushed to Tal County in silence all the way.

After a year, he returned to this land.

The organization of this land completely collapsed. He passed by the largest market in Tal County, but he only saw a ruin, broken walls, and no longer prosperous and lively.

Some refugees were looking for something in the ruins.

During his lunch break, Nathan learned that Tal County had been attacked by pirates a month ago.

The lord's castle was breached by a powerful pirate group at night. The pirate leader brought ten or twenty pirates to insult the lord's wife, female relatives and maids in the castle.

Nathan had seen the proud lord when he was a conscript in Tal County, and the lord was tied up and could only stand aside and watch.

Afterwards, they all died, and the lord's head was hung on the castle.

Tal County has completely become a place where pirates are rampant.

Nathan's heart became heavier.

Uncontrollable fear surged into his heart, making his hands and feet cold.

His mind was in a mess, with more guesses, but he refused to believe it.

But when he came to the Trough Village, the scene he saw made his head buzz, and his brain went blank, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer.

He didn't know how he got off the horse and looked at the black ruins in front of him. The wall collapsed, the burnt wood fell there in all directions, and the civil buildings turned into black ash.

There was no smell of smoke, and I didn't know how long it had been.

He came to his former home like a zombie - only half of the earth wall stood in front of him, and only the remains of the burnt were left. No one knew what it used to look like.

Only Nathan knew that the home he had been thinking about day and night was the house he had built with mud and wood.

All the worries and fears came true.

The burly man stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail, tears rolling down his cheeks.

He didn't know why, but he began to walk back and forth in front of his former home, but he didn't dare to take a step inside.

He had imagined the scene of his home countless times in the past year, but ended up with this ending.

"I'm late! I'm late! My Aina! ! My Will!!" He was like a wounded beast, suddenly slapping his face with his heavy palms, tearing his hair, taking off his helmet, and hitting his head hard.

"Captain! Don't do this!" The two soldiers behind him pulled his arms to stop him from self-harming, and they were also extremely uncomfortable.

Their commander was a taciturn tough guy, but now he has become like this.

"Woo ah..." Nathan cried bitterly, he turned around on the spot, and finally squatted on the ground, with nowhere to go.

"I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!!" he said with tears, his face full of grief.

"Together!" Two soldiers shouted. They were the elite soldiers of the third battalion. One was called Ace and the other was called Lot. Both of them had been taken care of by Nathan.

The two men put heavy armor on Nathan.

Pirates were rampant in this land and were widespread. In the past, they would never cause trouble unless they met head-on.

The pirates went south and launched a massive attack. There were 10,000 main forces alone, and there were also many slave servants as waiting units.

They did not engage in direct combat with the Split Armor Coalition, but used their high mobility to spread out everywhere, burning, killing, looting, and cutting off logistics.

But they took the initiative to find the pirates' traces, just to let him vent.

Not long after, Nathan and others saw black smoke burning ten miles away, and immediately rushed there.

When they arrived at the place, they saw the pirates slaughtering refugees. They were afraid that the latter wanted to harvest some wheat secretly, but they just happened to run into the pirates.

There were about twenty pirates, but Nathan was overwhelmed by anger.

He rode up on horseback.

The pirates were shocked. They didn't expect that there were still knights fighting on this devastated land.

Nathan waved his heavy spear, and the sharp spear head with cold light was half a meter long. When he rushed over, he immediately killed five or six pirates.

The rest of the pirates rushed forward, but Nathan killed five or six more.

Two elite soldiers rode on war horses and rushed from both sides, forming an encirclement. Together with Nathan, they killed all the pirates in one fell swoop.

Only two pirate scouts were far away, looking at the berserker in fear, and turned around and ran away.

Nathan was still not satisfied, so he took off his heavy axe, and continued to swing the axe to chop the pirate's body with red eyes, and every time he chopped, he let out a miserable roar.

"You... Are you Nathan, the 'big voice' from Trough Village?"

Those refugees came over at some point. They were also natives of this land, but they became refugees after the pirates burned the village.

Nathan was panting and looking at the refugees with red eyes. He found that these refugees looked familiar. They should be nearby villagers and he had seen them in the past.

"It's me." He said.

"Weren't you captured by the pirates... Why... Why didn't you go to the forest? Where are the people in the Trough Village hiding?"

He couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed over, angrily saying: "Where is Aina! Where is Will! Are they okay? Are they still alive?"

Nathan was wearing heavy armor, towering and tall, and his body was splattered with blood because of the whipping of the corpse. Now his momentum was very terrifying.

The refugees were so scared that they couldn't speak, as if they had seen a ferocious beast in the world.

The height was right, and the voice was right.

But they didn't understand why the once honest and simple strong man returned in this outfit.

What kind of magical plot of returning home in glory, a farmer turned into a knight?

Those tall horses are not something that ordinary people can get.
