Chapter 79 Enemy
The bamboo leaves rustled when they touched the enemy, and the team quickly passed through the bamboo forest.
If it were the season for digging winter bamboo shoots, we might run into a few people, but now they passed without any hindrance.
It can be said that the Qingzhu tribe has not invested any manpower and material resources in preventing foreign invasion. I don't know whether they are confident in their own strength or are more confident in Shanlin Town.
Soon, faint human voices reached everyone's ears.
Through the gaps in the woods, everyone could easily see a relatively open area at the foot of the bamboo mountain, with dozens of wooden houses located there in a staggered manner.
Luo Ning also saw many farmers carrying farm tools and returning to their families. They seemed even thinner and more tired than the farmers in Shanlin Town.
Elrond reminded softly, "Sir, there is someone in the watchtower over there."
Roning looked in the direction he was looking in. He saw a three-story watchtower standing on a relatively high slope, and he could indeed see human figures moving around on it.
The question is, what is the use of building a watchtower in a mountain village?
Luo Ning was puzzled. He had already walked there, but the other party hadn't noticed him. What was the point of building a sentry tower?
"Use my fireball as a signal. After bombing the sentry tower, everyone moves immediately."
After crossing the bamboo forest, everyone came to an open area. Roning mobilized his mental strength and magic power and concentrated them on his palms, drawing the spell patterns of the fireball.
Buzz~
When the spell pattern was drawn successfully, the fire element between heaven and earth surged and gradually condensed into a fireball with a diameter of half a meter on his palm.
"What is that?"
At the same time, the sentry on the Qingzhu tribe's watchtower finally discovered this scene (mainly because it was getting dark and the sudden appearance of the flames was too eye-catching).
The sentry's eyes widened. He clearly saw a large group of people standing behind the fireball.
"The Black... The Black Collar Tribe is attacking!!"
The sentry reacted subconsciously, but before he could remember to shout out and convey his thoughts, he saw the fireball flying toward his sentry tower at an extremely fast speed. He could even feel the hot airwaves from the fireball.
Boom!
A fireball with a diameter of half a meter suddenly smashed onto the sentry tower, blasting the wooden pillars below into pieces. The platform above lost its support and fell from mid-air.
The sentry also fell from the sky, and his life or death was unknown.
"Go!"
Ridal drew out his sword, shouted loudly, and rushed out like an arrow, followed by McKen and a row of soldiers.
Tom, David, and the rest of the people were divided into two teams, and the enemy was encircled from the left and right sides.
"Intruders..."
An unidentified man stopped in front of Ruidar. This man's clothes seemed to be better than those of the other people in the Qingzhu tribe, and his identity was unknown.
"roll!"
Redal didn't even look at the opponent but just burst out with fighting spirit when passing by him, and the opponent was knocked away like a kite with a broken string.
"Everyone listen!"
Riedal leaped to the roof of a house and said, "You are now surrounded by the Baron's army. If you don't want to die, kneel down and surrender immediately. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"
In line with his roar, McKen and the other guards also responded, "Kneel down and surrender! Kneel down and surrender!"
The same caliber, consistent speaking speed, and roars enhanced by fighting spirit could be heard by almost the entire Qingzhu tribe.
The savages who thought that the Black Collar Tribe attacked the mountain village finally realized that these were not people from the Black Collar Tribe but the legendary noble army outside the woods!
It had been many years, and they had forgotten the nobles' campaign to exterminate them. Some of them even thought that the nobles would not come.
Until this moment, the horrifying memories came to their minds again. That year, they were chased by the coalition of nobles and fled into the woods in a panic.
At that time, they had no base and could flee at will, letting the noble coalition army chase them aimlessly. But now it was different; they had their own strongholds and base camps, and they all gathered here.
"I, I surrender!"
Some people knelt on the ground in fear. They had been frightened by the enemy's momentum. At this moment, they were like a lone boat facing huge waves hundreds of meters high. They had no intention of resisting at all.
"I, I surrender!"
"I, I surrender!"
All of a sudden, a large number of savages on the road knelt down.
Seeing this scene, Roning was in a good mood, "This battle was easier than I thought."
Elrond, who was also not charging, smiled and said, "Your arrival has brought them hope and given them a chance to get rid of their identity as wildlings. They should thank you instead of resisting."
"They don't realize that."
Luo Ning smiled and said, "They were just frightened by the strength of the soldiers."
As the two were talking, a ball of flame formed by a fire-attributed fighting spirit slashed through the void and blasted toward Riedal, who was standing on the roof.
The commander slashed with his sword, directly cutting the flaming blade into pieces. But the exploding fighting spirit turned into a shock wave, which collapsed the thatched roof.
Riedal fell to the ground and saw a woman holding a child, huddled in a corner and shivering.
"Hide there and don't move, ladies. I won't hurt you."
He retracted his gaze and looked directly at the group of people rushing towards him. It was obvious that they were extraordinary people from the Qingzhu tribe.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking my Qingzhu tribe?"
Some of those kneeling on the ground and surrendering immediately showed hope when they saw the newcomer: "It's Lord Willy, it's Lord Willy!"
"With Lord Willy here, we won't lose!"
"Damn the intruders!"
"Damn the nobles!"
Although some people stood up to resist, more people still knelt on the ground in confusion, not daring to move.
At this time, the people led by David and Tom had almost surrounded the village area, and any resistance from the other side would be nothing more than a fight of trapped beasts.
"The one standing before you is the noble Wushan bloodline, the master of Shanlin Town, Baron Ronin!"
Redal pointed at Ronin, who was approaching and said to the knight opposite.
"The Baron of Hillwood?"
Knight Willy frowned and asked coldly, "Isn't Princet the master of Hillwood Town? When did Baron Ronin appear?"
But when he looked at the silver-haired man in front of him, he already believed what Rydar said. The leader of the coalition that was chasing them had such silver hair, which left a big shadow on the young him.
"Being trapped in this mountain forest for so many years has already blocked your sight and hearing, Knight Willy."
Luo Ning stepped forward and said, "The Wubei Forest has bound you for half of your life. Do you still want to be trapped in this land for the rest of your life as a 'remnant'?"
Willy clenched the sword in his hand, his expression flickering. He really didn't want to be trapped here, but it was very difficult to get out with a legal identity.
"What do you want?"
"Submit to me!"
Luo Ning smiled and said, "I can give you a legal identity and take you out of this forest."
