Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

　　Lyden Village is a small village in the Duchy of Perth, a part of the Mittalton Empire. Twenty years ago, along with some surrounding villages and small towns, it was given to the Earl of Qatar as a fief.

　　 The current Leiden Village is still nominally an earl’s direct territory, not a lord or baron’s fief.

The reason why 　　 is said to be nominal is that it is caused by the special geographical location of Leiden Village.

　　 From the map of the Principality of Perth, the city of Qatar is located near the sea just south of the center of the Principality of Perth, while the village of Layton is located just east of the center of the Principality of Perth, just embedded in the Maamoro hills adjacent to the coast of Perth.

　　 Such a position is undoubtedly very embarrassing.

　　 On the one hand, Leiden Village is too far away from the traditional territory of the Qatari family as the lord, making it more like an enclave for the Qatari family.

　　 In addition, the main territory is the Principality of Perth on the coast of Perth. The main source of economic prosperity is maritime trade, while the village of Leiden is an agricultural village. It is in a hilly area with extremely inconvenient transportation and no special resource output.

　　 Therefore, in the eyes of the Earl of Qatar, Leiden Village is a real chicken rib, even if it is entrusted to the knights under his command, it seems too stingy.

　　 Even so, Leiden Village is still an official territory of the Principality of Mankind, rather than a tribe of barbarians with a very low level of civilization. Therefore, both the village office and the militia that manage the village exist.

　　 Of course, this also means that the taxes to be paid are still to be paid.

　　 Old Fisher is a member of the Leiden Village Office appointed by the Qatari family and the mayor of Leiden Village.

　　 It's just the village office. In fact, it is also the old Fisher and Lin Peng, a tax officer who stays in Qatar City all year round, who will come to collect taxes on behalf of the Qatar family after the fall.

　　 Plus four or five part-time Orion militias, that’s just a few people.

　　... Separator...

　　 Old Fisher has been very upset recently.

　　 Old Fisher is forty-two years old this year.

In this era when the average life expectancy is no more than 35 years old, he can already be regarded as an elder. In addition to his early experience as a captain of the earl and his achievements since serving as the village chief, he is very much loved by the villagers in the village. , More recognized than the lord far away in the sky.

　　 The Principality of Perth focuses on trade. As an agricultural village, Leiden Village does not pay very high taxes. It is also able to harvest additional output by the mountains and rivers, and it is completely self-sufficient in food.

　　 Since 20 years ago, the regular army of the Principality penetrated into the Maomoru hills, expelled a large number of barbarian tribes, and established long-term outposts, Leiden Village has largely avoided the invasion of foreign enemies.

　　 In this case, what else can Old Fisher worry about?

　　 It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and the people working out of the village are walking back one after another.

　　 is different from the joyous atmosphere of laughter and laughter when returning from work in the past.

In the past few days, the entire village has been shrouded in a depressive atmosphere. Not only the loud chats and laughs among the villagers have been replaced by whispers, but even the children who usually chase and play have been ordered to stay at home by their parents. Walk around at will.

"Hey..." Old Fisher did not know how many times he sighed today. He sat on the threshing mill with his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and pain, and he fixedly looked at the sun gradually toward the western hills. .

　　 Old Fisher knew that the source of embarrassment and the unrest in the village was in the mountains in the west.

　　 For some reason, two fierce and cruel tigers migrated here from nowhere ten days ago and set up their dens on the western mountains.

　　 At the beginning, although everyone was nervous, the level was not very high.

　　Leiden Village has been active in this neighborhood for more than a hundred years, and large beasts have been gradually expelled. When the two big tigers cannot find enough food, they will naturally leave.

　　 But the worst happened.

　　 A few days later, the hunting area of ​​the evil tiger gradually moved closer to the village, and the sound of howling closer and closer made the whole village frightened.

　　 Three days ago, a big tiger blatantly invaded, sneaking into the village through the gap in the fence at night, and dragging away the boy who came out at the entrance of the village to pee at night.

　　 This ignited panic in the hearts of the villagers, and it was not just a fact of hurting people for evil tigers. More importantly, the emergence of this situation verifies the worst guess.

　　 These are a pair of big tigers who will reproduce offspring.

　　 Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure that there is enough food in the territory, large and fierce beasts like the big tiger rarely go together. It is only possible to gather more than two tiger beasts when they are in heat or when they reproduce offspring.

　　 In this case, the tiger has a strong aggressiveness and a strong appetite in order to obtain enough food.

　　Only in this way, will it attack civilized settlements.

　　 This is an extremely terrifying conclusion, although Old Fisher has organized the villagers to repair the fence and plug the loophole for the tiger to enter.

　　 But everyone knows that this kind of measure is just a decoration for a prestigious beast like the big tiger, no matter how good the wooden fence is, it slightly increases the difficulty for the big tiger to hurt people, and it is more of a psychological comfort.

　　 Old Fisher once sent several hunters who also served as militiamen to seek help from the subordinate town of Leiden—Mowen Township.

　　Mowen Town is the fief of the Baron Simivre. As the fief of the baron, there are two teams of 24 regular soldiers and one and a half squadrons of about 80 militias.

　　 As long as Morwen Town lends a helping hand, hunting two big tigers is still very easy.

　　 It's a pity that Baron Simif just went to the banquet in Qatar City. The steward who stayed behind had insufficient garrison troops, and Leiden Village was not the reason why Baron Simif was the fief, so he refused the request of the Leiden Village militia.

　　 This is news that made Leiden village worse. Without the help of the regular army, it is almost impossible to hunt big tigers by militiamen and farmers.

　　 The melancholy in Old Fisher's heart is hard to resolve.

　　 In these days, he has thought of a lot of ways. He even thought of organizing villagers to catch prey for the big tigers to eat, and wait until the female tigers give birth to move away.

　　 But this is just wishful thinking, not to mention whether the big tiger will relocate after giving birth. It is impossible for the villagers to catch enough prey for two big tigers.

Thinking about it, if you don’t want to kill a large number of villagers because of the big tiger’s attack, it seems that you can only mobilize all the villagers to encircle and hunt the big tiger. But whether this choice can kill the big tiger, don’t say, UU看书www.uukanshu There will be many villagers that .com will eventually sacrifice.

　　The difficult choice was placed in front of Old Fisher, which made it difficult for this old man who had also been a regular army to judge.

　　 "... Village head... Village head, wake up, come and have a look...".

　　 The constant shouts awakened Old Fisher from his contemplation. He was clever, turned his head and looked at the source of the sound, and found that the villager Parker was calling him anxiously.

　　 "What did your kid shout, didn't you see that I was thinking about things?" Old Fisher immediately stood up and shouted back.

When Old Fisher yelled, Parker shrank his shoulders in fright. The next moment he reacted and continued: "I didn't mean to interrupt your old man. Go and see, there is a...come...weird at the entrance of the village. "

　　 "Speak clearly, what weirdo?" Old Fisher was confused.

　　 "It's a very strange person, very..., Oh, I can't tell you, come and take a look."

　　 Parker drew a line, really don't know how to explain, he simply pulled Old Fisher and walked towards the entrance of the village together.

　　 "Go, don't pull me, I'll go by myself." Old Fisher broke free and walked towards the entrance of the village, Parker closely following him.

　　As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Old Fisher frowned again, and he snorted in his heart.

　　 The wooden door that used to be closed only when the sun fell to the top of the mountain actually closed right now. Two militiamen are pointing at the door with simple spears, and a group of villagers are also holding agricultural tools around them.

　　 "Don't be a barbarian, come here again," Old Fisher was anxious, not caring about leisure, quickly stepped forward and looked out the crowd.

　　 There was a soldier in armor standing 50 meters away from the wooden door.

　　 When he saw this heavily armed soldier, Old Fisher's eyes lit up.
