Chapter 239: Layton's Winter (Part 2)
The next day, the passers-by got up early, dug out the half snow deer that had been buried in the snow outside the warehouse yesterday, frozen like a stone, and hurriedly ate it when it was six or seven percent cooked. On the journey again.
Coincidentally, the village they settled in this time happened to be in the game map. Comparing the game map, they could easily determine their location accurately. What they had to do next was to reach the road as soon as possible.
Once you reach the main road, follow the road to the direction of Thrace, and sooner or later you will meet the Thracian army.
This method is simple and simple, and the effect is also very good.
Two days later, they encountered the Thracian army.
Next to the ruins of a burning village.
Inside the village, the corpses were lying all over the place, and the wounds on their bodies were almost fatal. It could be seen that the slaughterers were very efficient and did not waste any time.
There are six people, four men and two women, hanging from the tree at the entrance of the village. The four men are a middle-aged man, a half-year-old boy, and two little boys, and both women are middle-aged women. The six people were stripped of their clothes, and their bodies were all messed up with scars cut by sharp blades, and they died horribly.
[The city management of Paradise (Volibear): What's going on? Why did the Thracian army kill everyone in this village? People are all killed, who do they rule? 】
[The old driver of Qiu Mingshan (Harley): I don’t know what they think, I only know that I am very angry now, and I can’t calm down without cutting a few people! 】
[The Harmony of Poisonous Milk (Surton): Don't worry, there is always a chance to fight, and observe again. This is a bit strange... Since they killed the entire village, why did they torture the six people and hang them at the entrance of the village? It doesn't make sense! 】
[Panda (Panda): If you want to know why, just grab someone and ask if you are wrong! 】
So they sneaked into the barracks next to the village and captured a soldier with ease.
The number of this force is not large, a total of more than 200 points. Of course, there will not be any masters in the army of this size. They really come and go as they want, and they are relaxed.
The soldier was still very strong at first. When Volibear asked him "Why are you killing people in this village", he said disdainfully, "Those who dare to stop my Thracian army are all eggs on stones, all To be crushed to pieces, and you are no exception."
So Harley found a rock, and one of them smashed his right hand.
Harley's temper is quite fiery, if it wasn't for his companions to pull him, he would have rushed into the barracks and started killing. If this guy cooperated honestly, it would be fine. He was so arrogant when he was a prisoner, and he naturally couldn't help but teach this **** a lesson and teach him "why are flowers so red".
Because his mouth was covered, the soldier couldn't scream. He just widened his eyes in pain and trembled all over.
Looking at the cold-proof bracelet on his right wrist, Panda couldn't help sighing again, and said to Seton, "Help him treat it before Harley smashes another hand."
Seton, a healing monk, used a spell on the soldier, and his hand, which was almost smashed, quickly recovered.
"My mana is probably enough to use such spells more than ten times." Seton was a little unhappy. "But don't let me waste my mana in this kind of place! It's very troublesome!"
She turned her head to look at the soldier: "You too, can't you cooperate? I've been smashing the treatment over and over again, and I'm annoying if you don't bother me!"
In fact, she was really telling the truth and didn't mean to threaten at all, but looking at the blood-stained stone on Harley's hand and the complaining look on her face, the soldier's will collapsed.
So he honestly explained everything.
The war in which Thrace attacked the Kingdom of Leyton was slightly different from the game plot.
According to the "history" in the game, the Kingdom of Layton was not able to get any news in advance. The Thracian army was destroyed all the way, and most towns and villages were looking down at the wind. Almost when the news was passed to Layton City, Thracian The vanguard of the Styrian army also arrived less than a day away from the city of Leyton.
But this time, for some unknown reason, Layton got some news. Although the Thracian army still relied on the pre-arranged internal response, they successfully won the most important passes, but they encountered a lot of resistance along the way. Many nobles, knights and even adventurers stood up to confront the Thracian army, causing them to suffer a lot of losses.
Under such circumstances, the commander of the Thracian army, His Majesty King Richard of Thrace, issued an order to "brutally strike all resistance forces".
According to his orders, anyone who dares to resist the Thracian army will be investigated. Not only will they die, but their families will also be brutally executed and displayed to the public; if it is the lord, the entire territory will be slaughtered.
"Damn it! This kind of order is also given?" Halley's eyes widened, "You also carry out this kind of order?"
"For the great cause of Thrace, a little killing is justified!" the soldier answered confidently.
Without saying a word, Harry threw a stone and smashed it on his head.
This time, even Seton couldn't save him.
Volibear let go and let the soldier's corpse fall to the ground, losing the vitality from his master, and the cold bracelet gradually lost its effectiveness, and the corpse soon froze as stiff as a stone - just like those who had been killed by them not long ago. of villagers.
"What should we do," Volibear said to Panda.
Panda nodded and looked at the others.
"Yes!" Harley laughed, "My forty-meter long knife is waiting to be consecrated!"
"I would like to oppose it, but from your looks, it's useless to oppose it." Thurton sighed, "The minority obeys the majority, tell me, what are you going to do?"
Panda thought for a while and said, "Although we can kill a lot of soldiers, killing the soldiers alone can't really solve the problem. To solve the problem, the key is to eliminate the people who created the problem."
"You mean—let's kill King Richard?" Halley's eyes widened, showing an excited expression.
Assassinating a king is even more exciting than a cannon in the world!
Panda smiled: "Almost, there are so many people surnamed Thrace in this world anyway, one more than him is not much, and one less of him is not a lot, isn't it?"
Volibear nodded: "Of course!"
"Let's decide, then, let's take another prisoner, ask where the Thracian army is, and then set off to assassinate Richard." Panda said, "faster. After all, every day we delay, we may One more village that was slaughtered, and one more group of family members of the resistance soldiers who were slaughtered.”
Everyone nodded, and soon, their figures disappeared into the wind and snow that almost never stopped in the winter of Layton Kingdom.
