Mercenaries and Adventurers

After the urgent alarm bell rang from Tolito Village behind the farmland, Keir noticed the changes in the farmers in front of him.

Many people subconsciously prepared to run towards the village, but they raised their feet and realized that the foreign knights on horseback were inspecting them.

Among the dozens of farmers, those standing in the front row immediately put down their feet and lowered their heads. Some people in the back row of the crowd didn't care so much, and immediately took advantage of the cover of their companions in the front row to turn around and run away.

The farmers seemed to be particularly afraid of the foreign knight Kiel, and they were at a loss just now. At this time, they heard the alarm bell ringing in the village, as if they had a push to make up their mind.

Kiel saw many farmers running away, and he snorted and asked the middle-aged farmer in front of the horse: "What's going on with the bell? And these people running back?"

The middle-aged farmer was covered in cold sweat. He only heard the footsteps of many farmers running barefoot behind him, and he knew exactly what happened.

Turning his head stiffly and glancing at what was happening behind him, the middle-aged farmer looked at each other and the remaining farmers in the front row who dared not escape, and then said bitterly: "Sir Knight, this is a call from the village to the people in the valley. Warning bells.”

"Warning signal?"

"Uh, yes, a warning signal. Just, there is a monster that endangers the safety of the village. No, after the life appears, the villagers are summoned to fight and evacuate."

Because he almost said something wrong in the middle, the middle-aged farmer was so frightened that his head was covered with sweat, and his usually eloquent mouth became clumsy now.

Kil smiled evilly and said loudly: "Endangering the safety of the village, haha. So, who will ring the bell? Who will direct? Let's talk openly. I fought with the dwarves guarding there in the forest, and I made it through that very dangerous forest, and now I'm here."

"And now this village is gathering people to prepare for battle. Ha, I guess they are led by dwarves, right? Human farmers, led by alien dwarves, are fighting against a human knight?"

"Hmph! Do you know what the hell you are doing?"

"Do you really know the consequences of doing this?"

Keir's face turned cold and he asked sternly.

This question made the middle-aged farmer feel cold all over, and he knelt down on the ground. Then Kil glanced at him, and at this time, the remaining thirty or so farmers were kneeling in the farmland.

Kiel raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this. He had never seen such a scene in his two lifetimes combined. A little embarrassed, but he couldn't show it now.

"Hmph, get up! Don't think that once you kneel on the ground, what happens next has nothing to do with you."

The farmers got up one after another, but there were still some people whose knees were stuck to the ground as if they were rooted, with their heads lowered and their buttocks raised, like an ostrich, showing a sign of submission. Then, you can avoid any responsibilities and obligations.

Kiel ignored these determined farmers and said to the middle-aged farmer who got up again: "Let me ask you, are you human?"

The middle-aged farmer was very smart and knew what was going to happen as soon as he heard it, but he had no choice. There was no way they could be the opponent of the young knight in front of him. Even the dwarves in the valley had a high probability of being no match.

He could only respond: "Sir, I am human."

"Where are they?" Keir pointed to the other farmers present.

The farmers looked at each other. Some of the clever ones were sweating profusely, while some of the dull ones didn't know the meaning of this question.

"We are all human beings, Lord Knight." The middle-aged farmer replied bitterly.

"So, do you know the name of the land that everyone is stepping on, and the name of the kingdom on it?" Kil asked with a serious face as he fiddled with the horse's ears with his hand.

The middle-aged farmer sighed: "Sir Knight, I entered here by mistake ten years ago out of curiosity. I know the great name of the kingdom."

Keir glanced at this man unexpectedly and rolled his eyes: "So do all of you know? I mean not only those here, but also other people in the village."

Many farmers had guessed the meaning of the young knight's question. They whispered with tangled faces.

The middle-aged farmer looked up at Kil's young face: "Everyone in the village knows this."

The corners of Kil's lips raised and he asked: "So, on the land of the human Kingdom of Saint Halls, you actually let the alien dwarves rule and manage, and you plan to use force to attack and expel a human knight?"

The middle-aged farmer argued: "Master Knight, everyone, we haven't done anything yet. Your accusation is not true!"

Kil laughed angrily: "Can you guarantee it? Will the people in the village and the farmers who just fled back to the village do this later? I hope you understand, dwarves, you may feel that you don't know why this place exists. The dwarves are very powerful, but in fact they are no match for me."

The middle-aged farmer smiled coquettishly: "Sir, I have never had any doubts about this. Dwarves are very powerful, with thick self-forged armor, and their strength is unmatched by three adult men. Born in the village, in the village People who grew up in the village may not have a reasonable judgment of true strength. But I don't. I only came here ten years ago, and I have eaten and seen it outside the valley."

"If you can break out of the Huitou Forest, you can win. It just requires a difficult battle."

While listening to this man's words, Kil relied on the height of his war horse to look at the village not far away.

There were many dwarves gathered in the village at this moment, each wearing well-fitting black and gray armor, and they lined up neatly to wait for the human armed forces in the village to gather. There were farmers who fled back to the village from the fields and said something to the dwarves. There were also some other young men and women in the village who were more or less armed. They were sorting out their equipment and exchanging weapons.

Kiel also saw some people coming down from the rock wall opposite the village, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and joining the team gathered in the village.

It was very lively. The old and young in the village who could not fight came out of their houses and provided various kinds of help to the assembled team. Stuff a handful of home-grown fruits and give a weapon passed down from the family. Some people climbed onto the roofs of houses in the village, pointed to Kiel and shouted something to the people in the village.

Then many women and children tried to run to the entrance of the village, but were stopped by other people in the village.

These peasant women and children are probably the families of the farmers in front of Kiel at this time, right?

While the people in the village were looking here, the farmers in front of Keir also secretly looked back at the family members in the village.

Many farmers sighed and complained why they didn't run away together just now. Although they didn't know what would happen next, at least they could cope with it together with their families. They accepted it no matter whether it was good or bad.

The farmers at the front who were smarter and listened to Keir talking to the middle-aged farmer were more worried about their families in the village. They thought this way, if the so-called knights from outside were really that powerful and finally defeated the dwarves in the valley after a battle, then the families in the village would face the risk of fighting. After all, if there was a fight, it would be difficult to tell the outcome of the battle and the losses.

And if it is the dwarves in the village who join forces with humans to defeat the foreign knights in the end, then they will probably not be embarrassed. After all, they are all companions in the same village and have dealt with so many dangers together for so many years. They will not be put aside. What's the matter? After all, he was coerced by foreign knights.

Kil raised his finger and pointed at the village: "You can see clearly, but the actual battle is not that easy. Look, the village is so lively, haha. This is also the first time that I have been treated like this. It’s like I’m a monster from deep in the mountains. Do you think I’m a monster?”

Not daring to accept these words, the middle-aged farmer shook his head quickly.

Kil raised his chin slightly: "This land belongs to humans, and it has been like this a hundred years ago. And the first migrants who mistakenly entered here, and the ignorant people who came here later looking for people or out of curiosity, of course have everyone. The land beneath your feet. No need to be ruled by foreigners!"

At the end of the sentence, Keir raised his voice and shouted loudly.

This sudden loud shout made not only the nearby farmers cover their ears, but also people in the distant villages heard it.

The men, women, old and children in the village looked at each other in confusion, while the dwarves remained silent.
