Withered grass-colored wheat straw is scattered in the harvested fields. It is strange that there are no farmers, and there are obviously unharvested fields.

Nangong Long saw the situation in the village clearly with his vision far beyond ordinary people.

Thirty to forty men were in the village, and their equipment was not uniform at all.

Several farmers with horses or oxen stood blankly, their bodies still shaking.

Chapter 81 Soldier Behaving Badly

Guys in leather armor with swords, spears, axes, or guns roamed the village unscrupulously.

The villagers' homes closed their doors and windows, as if they were waiting for the storm to pass.

Their leisurely attitude is not at all like bandits, and the villagers' reaction is not like encountering bandits.

If bandits attack a village, villagers should run away instead of closing doors and windows.

The men with uneven equipment stared at a room, and then knocked vigorously with guns or spear hammers. After knocking on the door, they entered the room, and then there were multiple screams.

Breaking down doors and arresting people, beating farmers who came back from the fields, killing livestock at will, the men who did these things smiled.

It didn't take long for the villagers to be dragged out of their houses and squatted on the ground under the threat of armed men.

The screams sounded again, and several girls were dragged to the center by the soldiers, and the villagers who stopped them were beaten and squatted back.

Seeing this scene, Li Ya frowned. Originally, she suggested to avoid this village, but the employer wanted to come.

"Who are you?"

Noticing someone approaching, a man who looked like the captain called out to the three riding horses, and when he saw Liya, his eyes flashed obscenely.

Lia made a disgusted expression.

Nangong Long raised his hand and made a casual grasping motion, and the man who shouted fell down without warning, with a greedy expression on his face.

"team leader"

A few people who were closer shouted, and stepped forward to check, and then looked horrified.

"Dead, dead"

The rest of the people also stopped their movements and looked this way.

"I ask, you answer." Nangong Long glanced at them and said in an emotionless tone.

The few people who were near the corpse immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, some of them rushed over with various weapons, and the rest held their weapons and stayed still.

Although Liya and Olga didn't know what happened just now, it was not the time to be concerned.The two were about to dismount and fight when they were shocked by the scene in front of them that was beyond common sense.

I saw the guy rushing up unscientifically floating up, about half a meter off the ground, and then there was a crackling sound.

The limbs were twisted, the neck was rotated 180 degrees, facing the back, and there was another landing sound, and more than a dozen people died like this.

"A monster...ˇ..."

"Damn..."

The people who were still alive dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, but without exception, their bodies were twisted and died like twisted flowers.

The guy who was too scared to move sat on the ground, his legs trembled, and some even peed their pants.

The villagers squatting on the ground did not dare to move, let alone raise their heads.

After such a wave of killings, there are only seven men left to ravage the village.

"I ask, you answer"

The same words sounded again, still without emotion, but everyone present, whether it was the villagers or the guy who looked like a robber, felt chills from the bottom of their hearts.

"Who are you? Robbers? Soldiers?"

"I, we, are, are soldiers of Jermaine, Your Highness," the man kneeling on the ground, whose armor was obviously better than the others, replied stammeringly.

He is the adjutant of this team, and the reason why he can bear the fear to answer is completely a manifestation of his high desire to survive.

This unexpected answer made Olga's eyes widen, and Liya only raised her eyebrows a little before regaining her composure. As a mercenary, she had seen such a situation.

Compared with the people in front of her, she was more curious about the ability of her employer, but she didn't ask because it was inconvenient now.

Liya thinks it should be a spell or something. She has only heard of it before, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes one day.

"...Why did the soldiers attack the villages in our country?" Olga asked Nangong Long.

"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. They dare to do this, and of course Jermaine acquiesced."

"..." Olga blinked, then turned her gaze back to the surrendering soldier, as if she was thinking about something.

"You are useless"

Nangong Long showed a gentle smile, raised his right hand under the terrified eyes of the soldiers, and made a gesture of shooting, and then the remaining seven people also died, with a burnt bullet hole on their foreheads.

After blowing the smoke that didn't exist on his fingers, Nangong Long snapped his fingers.

Black flames erupted from the corpses on the ground, burning to the ground and leaving no bones left.

Nangong Long rode his horse towards the only two-story building in the village, followed by Olga and Liya.

Passing by a few girls, Nangong Long used a healing magic casually, and the wound on the girl's arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His use of healing magic will be discounted, but it is enough to treat this kind of minor injury.

Seeing the big devil walking towards his home, a man in his 40s had no choice but to get up and follow.

If possible, he also wanted to downplay his sense of existence, but who made him the village head, and the second floor was his home.

The three stayed at the village chief's house temporarily, during which Liya went out to tell the villagers what to do, otherwise they would just squat there, for fear of offending someone.

".` Is that a spell? Are you a priest?" Liya, who was sitting on a chair, looked at Nangong Long and asked.

They were in a room on the second floor, and there was nothing in it. The table and chairs were moved here later.

Originally, the village head planned to give up (Nuoqian's) his own room, but Nangonglong refused.

"Spells, you can understand it this way, but I'm not a priest"

"You are so powerful, why do you still hire me?" Liya fainted with a look of doubting your purpose.

This is why Liya has a strong ability to accept when traveling in various countries, so she does not show fear, but is more curious.

I didn't see that the villagers were all terrified. The village chief and Nangong Long trembled when they spoke.

Olga's blank expression was full of curiosity. As a battle girl, she was confident that she could kill the enemy's team by herself, but it would not be so easy.

"Traveling alone is boring, and you just came to strike up a conversation, I think it would be nice to have a company with you"

"..."

Liya showed a speechless expression, and she felt that such an unreliable answer was true.

Chapter 82 The Origin of Yaswar

Early the next morning, Nangong Long and the others left the village and headed southwest.

The girls who were rescued yesterday evening sent some food to the village head's house, but they didn't deliver it in person, but asked the village head to deliver it on their behalf, probably to express their gratitude.

Before leaving, Nangong Long erased the villagers' memories of yesterday.

Although they won't talk about what happened yesterday, nine times out of ten they will reveal their flaws when someone comes to investigate. After all, they are just ordinary villagers, and they will explain everything after a little scare.

In this way, it is better to erase their memory, so that it is useless for anyone to ask. For the villagers, they just spent an ordinary day.

Even if Jermaine wants to make an example of others and wipe out the nearby villages without evidence, the possibility of realizing it is very low. After all, his subordinate Tallard is preparing to rebel against him.

The little loli Olga asked many questions, and Nangong Long answered them one by one.

Why didn't the villagers resist?Why don't you leave here?

Patience is the path chosen by this village.The fields could not be given up easily, not to mention that it would be useless to move them away. As long as Jermaine was still the leader, his soldiers would still wantonly oppress the villagers.

"Where are we going?" Liya turned to look at Nangong Long and asked.

"Walk around 980, and at the same time inquire about the whereabouts of the princess"

Yaswar is known as the land of fog and forest.

In the past, it was only an island country in the northern sea, and the island was still in a state of five tribes fighting for hegemony.There are few mountains, but many hills, forests, and rivers.

Continental nations vying for the island sometimes invaded by ship.

This situation was changed by Artorius, the first king of Yaswar.

One day, Artorius dreamed that he was transformed into a red dragon, which is the symbol of the king who rules the five tribes.

Artorius thought it was an oracle, so he decided to become king.

Self-made with nothing is naturally ridiculed, but there are still 12 people willing to follow him.

After defeating the tribes, repelling the invaders, and sweeping up the pirates, Artorius established the Kingdom of Yaswar, and the origin of the country's name is the name of the island.

King Artorius gave the title of Knights of the Round Table to the 12 who followed him.

After the death of Artorius, Yaswar was at peace for a while.

However, the days of peace were broken by the Kingdom of Jiasdi. Although Yaswar resisted desperately, he still lost half of his territory in the face of the overwhelming army.

In such a situation, the king at that time fell ill, and the ministers offered to surrender, and some even ran away.

At this time, Princess Sephilia stood up, reprimanded the timid ministers and soldiers, and personally went into battle to kill the enemy, which can be called a hero among women.

It is said that the princess has amazing beauty.

After the king died of illness, after a year-long agreement, Sephilia became the first queen of Yaswar.

At that time, it brought a lot of impact to the countries, because they would not have the idea of ​​a princess becoming king at all.

Sephilia first quelled the turmoil caused by the death of the domestic king and the enthronement of the queen.

Then repel the invaders and crusade against the pirates. The most surprising thing is that she landed on the mainland, destroyed the Kingdom of Jiasdi, successfully obtained the territory on the mainland, and fulfilled the ideal that the first king did not realize.

Sephilia has never been married and ruled Yaswar. When her life was approaching, she appointed someone who was close to her father to inherit the throne. She died not long after that, ending her legendary life.

A little earlier in time, when Nangong Long arrived in Mariayu, Sophie also started negotiating with Elliott.

A few days ago, Sophie arrived at Yaswar Island on Jistat's ship. Because she was a public messenger, there were three escort ships besides her own ship.
