The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife
Chapter 20: Refugee Rebellion
Princess Jingge rarely lived a stable life for half a month.
Although the environment in the refugee gathering place is very harsh, they have to face hunger and cold.
But for Princess Jingge, who had been on the run for more than half a year, it was enough as long as there was a safe place for her to hide.
Originally, she thought she would spend this winter like this.
But just three days ago, she once again felt keenly that the atmosphere in the refugee camp had become tense.
More and more refugees are coming from all directions, making the refugees who have settled down feel uneasy, and conflicts will break out between them.
Ordinary people would indeed think that this is just a contradiction among ordinary people.
But Princess Jingge could see something unusual among them. These refugees were obviously driven towards Frostwolf Ridge consciously.
Combined with the fact that there were wandering knights and mercenaries mixed in the crowd trying to assassinate Duke Frostwolf, she realized that this was probably some force targeting Frostwolf Ridge.
Among these refugees now, there must be many people with bad intentions.
And as more refugees continue to arrive, this contradiction will inevitably break out at some point.
"It seems that the situation in the Northland is not much better than that of the Kingdom of Jingge." Princess Jingge's face was complicated.
The Northland originally belonged to the Frostwolf family, but now with the decline of the Frostwolf family, even the last Frostwolf Ridge is under threat.
Although Roman Knight did not have as keen an observation as Princess Crystal Song, he also felt a tense atmosphere among the refugees.
Another night.
Princess Jingge lay down to rest.
But not long after she lay down, there was a sudden noise in the camp.
"Roman, what happened?" Princess Jingge sat up.
The Roman knight looked into the distance, where fire was already blazing into the sky. Through the powerful perception of the third-level knight, he knew that a battle was taking place there!
"There are wandering knights massacring refugees!" Roman affirmed: "There are several official knights among them. It should be a premeditated killing."
"Slaughter the refugees?"
Princess Jingge's face darkened as she thought of her previous guess.
These mercenaries are definitely coming to Frostwolf Ridge, and in their view, these refugees are tools to muddy the waters so that they can take advantage of the chaos.
If these mercenaries are allowed to succeed, no matter what happens to Frostwolf Ridge, the refugees will definitely not survive this winter!
"Roman, we have to take action." Princess Jingge said.
Roman Knight showed hesitation on his face. If he took action directly in front of everyone, Princess Jingge's position would be completely exposed.
Kill the mercenaries or take advantage of the chaos to escape. This is a dilemma.
"Let's do it, now is the time to repay the favor."
"Also...a large part of these refugees are also my subjects."
Princess Jingge's face showed determination. She had been hiding for so long and finally found a place where she could barely stay. She didn't want to hide anymore.
Roman nodded, and his figure disappeared in a flash. Unexpectedly, a dagger appeared in his hand, glowing with a cold light.
At this time, in the refugee camp, the mercenaries were killing the surrounding refugees and driving them towards Frostwolf Ridge, hoping to break through the defense line.
"Damn it, fight with these people!"
"The lord has given us shelter and food. We cannot let the lord down and drive these people out!" the militiamen shouted.
Immediately, the militia members organized a resistance and fought with the mercenaries who had blended into the crowd.
But the difference in strength between the two was really big. The militiamen rushed forward and soon fell into a pool of blood, but no one retreated!
When Roman arrived, what he saw was this scene. Even though they knew that going forward would lead to death, these militiamen still pressed forward!
"If we lose the protection of Frostwolf Ridge, we will eventually die, so why don't we give it a try and fight these mercenaries!"
"That's right, rather than starving to death, I would rather fight to die for the lord and fight for a way for my family to survive!" the militiamen shouted, regardless of death.
"Hmph, isn't it easy to die?"
A mercenary captain snorted coldly and slashed out with the knight sword in his hand!
His strength has reached the level of a formal knight. How could these ordinary militiamen be opponents? It was a one-sided massacre.
But just when his sword was slashing out, something suddenly blocked his knight's sword, and then a powerful force came. The huge force actually made the knight's sword in his hand fall off, and the figure kept starting. Back away.
"How is that possible?!"
"Your strength has exceeded the first level!"
The mercenary captain had an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
He would never have thought that there was a knight above the first level hidden among these refugees!
After reacting, his first reaction was to run away. Although they were both formal knights and the difference in strength was not too huge, he didn't want to take risks.
But as soon as his figure moved, Roman was already on top of him. The two quickly fought together, and the mercenary captain was immediately put at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Roman frowned. Normally, it would not be too difficult for him to kill a first-order knight, but he did not eat well during this period. Black bread alone could not support the knight's battle at all, which caused his strength to decline a lot. .
But even so, he still seized the opportunity to wipe the mercenary's throat with the dagger in his hand, causing his figure to fall in a pool of blood, lifeless.
"Kill him together."
At this time, the other two mercenary captains also reacted and killed together.
Roman fought one against two, and although he could not lose, he could not free his hands to stop the mercenaries who killed the refugees, and he was secretly anxious.
Tap tap tap--
The battle did not last long, and a sound of horse hooves was heard.
The Grey Wolf Knight rode his warhorse and took the lead. After arriving at the battlefield, he jumped off the horse and quickly joined the battlefield.
David followed closely, but he did not rush to join the battlefield. Instead, he observed the situation in the field and set his eyes on Knight Roman.
The next moment, his figure flashed to the side of a mercenary captain, and the knight's sword in his hand slashed out, and the swift sword directly cut off the opponent's head!
Everything happened very suddenly. When the other mercenary reacted, a blood mark appeared on his neck. Roman was killed with one blood!
But before David could breathe a sigh of relief, several figures suddenly rushed towards him, and each figure exuded a very strong aura!
Obviously, everything the mercenaries did was just to assassinate the Frostwolf Duke. Now that the Frostwolf Duke appeared, all the assassins no longer hid themselves!
