Chapter 674: Viscount Hain's Territory

In the evening, Devonshire arrived at Viscount Hain's territory. He looked gloomy at the chaos here, but he did not act capriciously.

The most taboo for a general of an army is to have personal emotions in it, which will greatly affect his judgment.

"General Muller, you lead your troops to check the enemy situation. If you encounter a small group of enemy troops, you can act according to your convenience. If you encounter a large group of enemy troops, send someone to report to me in time."

"Yes, Lord Devonshire."

Muller rode on his horse, beat his chest and saluted, and then led his 1,500 temple knights forward.

Above the sky, Kyle quietly watched Devonshire's deployment and did not go down to participate in the actual command.

He only needs to take back the 30 battle merits. As for the command of the ground forces, Devonshire will naturally be responsible.

1,500 temple knights and 3,000 red sun horses are running fast on the ground.

Compared with red phosphorus horses and blue-purple horses, red sun horses are horses from the world of Wakalem. They belong to the level of beasts in the main world. They lack endurance and can only make up for it in numbers.

Viscount Hein led a small town with a population of more than a thousand. More than a hundred soldiers swaggered into the town and began to loot.

"Look carefully for me, don't let those outsiders get away with it." An officer wearing leather armor was domineering and arrogant, and ordered his subordinates.

A soldier with a slightly higher status said with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, don't worry, every copper coin in this town is the wealth of you and the viscount, and it will never be cheap for those outsiders."

"Hahaha, I like to hear this, how many silver coins will you give me when I go back." The officer laughed.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

The other soldiers saw this and showed envy.

"Bang bang bang"

"Come out, come out for me."

"Pay taxes, pay taxes."

"Open the door quickly, you damned lowly people, open the door quickly."

More than a thousand townspeople were driven out of the house by the sergeants and walked towards the square.

The officer stood in the square, looking at the fearful eyes of the townspeople below, and was very satisfied.

"Listen carefully, you low-class people. Viscount Hein's order, in order to protect your safety, we will now start to collect the Gorge Mountain Tax, Soldier Tax, Army Departure Tax, Road Repair Tax..."

The officer began to read down according to the document, and named 32 taxes in succession.

After reading, the officer rolled up the document and put it in his arms. He would go to the next town to read it later, so he couldn't lose it.

"In short, each of you low-class people needs to pay a tax of three gold coins."

"Three gold coins, even if you sell my whole family, you can't sell so much money." A skinny town resident said with hatred in his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Come on, drag him out."

Just worrying about how to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, isn't there someone delivering it to the door?

Two soldiers entered the crowd and pulled the skinny town resident out, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

"Lord Haien works too hard every day to protect your safety. You lowly people dare to resist taxes. You deserve to die."

After saying that, the officer drew out his iron sword, aimed at the townspeople's heads, and chopped them off.

"Crack"

A head rolled down the stairs and fell into the crowd.

"Old, weak, women and children, go back to get money. If you can't pay enough taxes, don't blame this tax officer for being cruel."

The townspeople looked at the devil-like officer, then looked at the headless corpse with blood, and subconsciously shrank their heads. They could only follow his instructions and return home to find money.

In less than a moment, the ground suddenly shook.

"Lord...Lord, there are...Knights...in the distance." A soldier entered the town, came to the square, and reported loudly to the officer.

The officer stood up, made a judgment with his own confidence, and said loudly to his soldiers: "That group of outsiders are here, cheer up, we are Viscount Hain's men, we can't lose our momentum in front of those outsiders."

Hearing the order from their superiors, everyone straightened their chests and showed their most courageous side.

The officer arranged his clothes and walked towards the gate of the town with more than 20 soldiers.

Looking up, all he could see were iron barrels.

"It seems that there is something wrong with holding the flag."

The officer opened his eyes wide, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his mind.

"Not good, hurry..."

Before he could shout out a complete sentence, he suddenly saw a headless corpse, which seemed to be his own, and then his consciousness fell into darkness.

More than 300 temple knights entered the town, and all the natives with weapons became the dead souls under their swords.

In the square, more than 400 young and strong men looked at the headless corpses around them, and then looked at the strange human-shaped iron barrels. They couldn't help but pray to the God of Beasts in their hearts, hoping to escape this disaster.

"Captain, should we kill all these pagans?" A temple knight came to Muller, with a murderous look on his face, licked his lips, and made a suggestion.

Muller looked down, shook his head and said, "Lord Weilin doesn't like meaningless killing. Since these people did not choose to resist, they are potential believers of the Goddess of Life. Send someone to report to Lord Devonshire and seek the next instructions."

"Yes, Captain."

The temple knight took the order and called a subordinate to take his team to report to Lord Devonshire.

...

In the military camp outside the city of Hain, Edmund immediately sent people to gather the troops and prepare to evacuate after learning that a troop had entered the territory of Viscount Hain.

"Not good."

The low-level knight of the Holy Seal, who was resting with his eyes closed, felt the breath of danger, grabbed Edmund, and flew out of the tent.

The next moment, a huge explosion sounded in the camp.

The smoke and dust dissipated, the tent where the central army camp was located disappeared, and a deep pit appeared in front of everyone.

"Trouble."

Looking at the blond young man in the distance, he was the one who killed Leonard. I didn't expect that the other party would chase here.

"Master, I will drag that man out later. Don't look back. Leave this place and continue the Isaac family."

Facing the look of the low-level knight of the Holy Seal, Edmund suddenly regretted that he should not have accepted this order in the first place. It was too late to regret it now.

As for the tens of thousands of troops, they could only give up.

The low-level knight of the Holy Seal summoned his two war beasts, put Edmund on them, and after sending the other party away, he released his mount, condensed the Holy Seal of the Heavenly Sword, and rushed towards Kyle with all his strength.

His strength was not as good as Leonard's. If the other party could kill him, he could also kill himself. Now he had to use his life to buy time for Edmund.

Kyle raised his right hand, took back the secondary spear of Putlock's Spear, looked at the low-level Knight of the Holy Seal rushing towards him, and prepared to play with him.

As for the Seven Seals Warrior who ran away, he was just an ant, not to be feared, as long as this low-level Knight of the Holy Seal worth thirty military merits did not run away.
