Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 84
Above the wasteland, the north wind is blowing, and the sun is still dazzling.

The Igor family and his party at the entrance of Moon God Village were a little impatient.

Xiahou Yan looked at the bandit sentries who kept silent despite their uneasy expressions on the tower, frowned and asked in a low voice:
"So, why haven't they let us in?"

Cousins ​​hurriedly replied:

"Wait, wait...their village master is not here, these little scoundrels must not dare to make decisions without authorization..."

Clement said: "Lord Lord, let me ask."

The death knight removed his hand from the hilt of the rune greatsword, strode forward a few meters to the closed gate, and said loudly:
"Excuse me……"

The bowstring cracked, and the air cracked.

An instant barbed pyramid arrow was inserted obliquely on the ground in front of Clement's feet. The black and white arrow tail feathers made of three vulture feathers were still vibrating in the air.

Clement stopped and slowly raised his head.

On a guard tower directly behind the gate, a bandit archer held a yew wood longbow in his hand, and shouted sternly:

"No, don't move! Before the village owner arrives, none of you are allowed to approach the cottage!"

Juan Clemente, whose entire head was wrapped in a black steel helmet and could not see his face, smacked his lips loudly, then bent down, plucked the arrow from the loess of the wasteland, and held it in his hand. inside.

Naturally, this arrow cannot scare the Thorn Knight who has lived for 800 years.

Even in an instant, Clement, who is very familiar with military training and is equally good at archery and swordsmanship, has roughly estimated the level of this bandit archer:

As far as this arrow is concerned, the opponent is obviously an archer who has received formal military training. There is no major problem with the accuracy and the posture of drawing the bow, and he also has a stern craftsmanship unique to those born in the army;

However, the lack of strength and coordination of hands and feet will forever limit his further improvement on the path of archers and prevent him from becoming a true marksman.

It seems that he was in the army before... Clement carefully looked at the bandit archer on the sentry tower——

- Maybe a deserter?

In the wild age before the death knight, it was normal for the defeated army and deserters to grit their teeth and stomp their feet, and fall into bandits on the spot, but after 800 years, Clement could not guarantee the accuracy of this judgment sex.

But having said that, the archer's shooting skills and background are not particularly important;

On the contrary, in order to prevent him from continuing to approach the cottage, the other party neither chose to shoot arrows directly, nor chose to give a verbal warning, but shot a sharp arrow at his feet as a warning. The meaning behind this approach is a bit intriguing...

The death knight looked back at the lord, and Xia Houyan nodded knowingly.

The attitude of the Moon God Village is already obvious: they do not intend to be a direct enemy of the Igor family, but they also have to give them a disgrace as a landlord and maintain a tough position in communication.

It seems that we will usher in a very exciting "negotiation"...

Just a few seconds after Clement pulled the feather arrow, the sentry on the guard tower shouted loudly:

"Open the door! Lord Zhaizhu is here!"

Everyone in the Igor family suddenly froze.

With the sound of heavy wooden wheels rubbing, the gate of Moon God Village slowly opened.

Stepping out from behind the giant door made of logs was a woman who was a little too young.

The person who came was the owner of the Moon God Village, Karen Lepage.

She was wearing a light leather soft armour vest with inlaid nails, lined with only a dirty, gray cotton vest, and worn leather trousers with wear marks on her lower body. It was her brown hair that was deliberately left untidy. To Xia Houyan, the attire of this female village owner looked like this wasteland, with a savage aura from the inside out.

But in stark contrast to her dress, the skin of this female village owner is a pure moon-white color that is often unique to pampered noble ladies-even her facial features are also in her bizarre paleness. Against the background of purple eyes, it shows the tranquility and elegance of a plain stream, which is far from the rough and hard wasteland.

If it weren't for the stern expression on Karen Lepage's face, left over from a long-term slaughter and expedition, and her flat chest that made her look extra agile and lean, I'm afraid anyone would think of her as an impromptu, looking for Come to a girl in a costume cosplay bandit, not a genuine cottage owner.

Clement murmured something.

The female village owner, who came from the cave, stopped about [-] steps in front of the Igor family, just behind the gate of the Moon God Village.

Her eyes, as if attracted by a magnet, were fixed on the Lord Lord who looked too similar to Katerina Igor - no explanation needed, just the appearance, exactly the same as that, The deep black hair color like a raven's feather is enough to explain the relationship between the two.

Then, with vigilance, she looked at Clement, Alice, and finally Knight Commander Cousins ​​one by one.

The female village owner stayed on the face of the former "Martial Master" for a long time with a strong hateful gaze.

Clement and Alice, as a matter of course, continued to hold the hilt of their swords and maintained an alert attitude; on the contrary, Alan Cousins, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, as if he had never seen the female village owner at all. Never put a face of lime on the opponent's subordinates.

In the end, Karen Lepage looked back at Xia Houyan, but pursed her red lips and said nothing.

Xia Houyan knew that the other party was waiting for him to speak first, so he directly said seriously:

"Karen Leperger, I am Eliot Igor, the current patriarch of the Igor family, the former lord of Eagle's End, the lord of Frost Maple Ridge, and a broken soul recognized by the emperor and the Holy Spirit. Guardian of the Land Wasteland; of course, I am also your captive—brother and rightful lord of Miss Katerina Igor."

He paused for a while, then bowed slightly and said solemnly:
"Captain Lepergue, I learned from my knight commander, Cousins, that you have treated my captured subjects very kindly with a noble spirit. I hereby express my heartfelt thanks to you."

Karen Lepage turned her head and gave Cousins ​​a stern look, and Cousins ​​pretended not to see him humming a ditty.

Xia Houyan continued:

"Lepeg Village Lord, I came here this time to bring back my sister Caterina and other Igor people who suffered misfortune-I believe that with your magnanimity and extraordinary demeanor, you should not refuse. Is this a proposal?"

As Xia Houyan expected, the female village owner in front of him did not eat this moral kidnapping at all, and sneered with his arms crossed:
"Dear Lord Igor, according to the rules of the wasteland, I am afraid that it is not my obligation to take care of your territorial captives and return them to you as they are, nor is it a free service for free? Come in, you only bring The courage of the three followers to find our Moon God Village has won you the right to sit down and discuss this matter with me slowly and carefully."

Xia Houyan immediately showed a sunny aristocratic smile: "It's good to dare!"

In Karen Lepage's heart, there was an ominous premonition like bringing a wolf into the room for no reason.
