When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 775 Qila Castle

Sasha held his breath, pushed aside the wet reeds with a stick, and looked in the direction of the village.

Although he was prepared, when he really saw everything in front of him, his teeth still bit his lip and a layer of blood covered his eyes.

Thick smoke swirled over the western outskirts of Qila Fort, and charred wooden beams were inserted diagonally into the dark earth walls.

One hundred and thirty-seven bodies lay radially on the edge of the threshing floor. The oldest old woman was still curled up protecting her grandson.

The two charred corpses were fused together like twisted bronze objects.

The wind blew through the burnt elm trees, carrying away pieces of unburned yellow household registration books.

The ashes of the paper stuck to the wet chain mail of the Immortal Army knights.

"These beasts!" Sasha subconsciously dug his fingers deep into the humus soil, and he was about to rush out and fight desperately in the next second.

But the younger brother behind him grabbed Sasha's shoulders and said, "You are crazy. We have finally survived. Now is not the time for revenge."

"If it weren't for those damn plains people, Ninochi wouldn't have died, Aunt Lashaya wouldn't have died, and Uncle Vale wouldn't have died..."

Sasha trembled all over as he glanced at the people of Plain County who were kneeling before the knights.

"I, I will kill all the plainsmen sooner or later!"

As soon as Sasha finished speaking, she felt someone slap her on the back of her head.

He turned around and saw his father glaring at him: "Missionary Julien is from the plains. He hid us with great difficulty. Do you want to kill him too?"

Sasha then fell silent, and continued to look at the miserable state of the village, as if he wanted to memorize the face of every Leia soldier and every looting plainsman.

But as he watched, the blood color in front of his eyes faded and everything became blurry.

To be honest, compared with the town, this small military village is quite simple.

A wooden house surrounded by a fence, with a piece of fertile soil in the yard for growing ginger and thyme.

He had a dog, three sheep and two big fat pigs. His father and mother slept on one bed, and his younger brothers and sisters slept on another bed with him.

He would tie his sister's hair every morning and play the bride-giving game with her.

Now all he saw was a pile of heads whose faces could not be distinguished.

Which one is the mother? Which one is the sister?
My mother, my sister, the grandfather next door, the lame old soldier at the entrance of the village... everyone who stayed in the village died.

There was a pile of charred corpses everywhere. He couldn't find his sister and could only see colorful oil splashes floating on the puddles.

Didn’t Her Highness Meliati say that we came down the mountain in order to live a good life?

Where are the good days? After suffering in the Blue Blood Monastery, they have to suffer the invasion of Leia.

Why did the Leia keep picking on them? Why did the Plainsmen betray them?

Sasha felt someone touching his head and turned around to see Missionary Julien looking at him with compassion.

The young boy could no longer stop crying. He pressed his face against Julien's chest and tried to stifle his sobs in his chest.

Seeing his son's shoulders shaking silently, Pavel, a burly man, gradually felt his eyes turn red.

"Let's go, let's go, don't get discovered."

"Mr. Raffl, what's wrong?"

Rafeel faced the reeds, hesitated for half a second, and then shook his head: "Nothing."

Killing innocent people indiscriminately goes against his creed, so let the remaining few escape.

It's really ridiculous. He was the one who gave the order, but now he has to disobey it.

Turning his gaze back to the present, there was no trace of victory on Laffer's face.

The Holy Father could never forgive him, but at least Leia had a chance to continue.

The plain nobles who were leading the way were laughing and joking at one moment, and then quarreling and fighting on these "new fields" like beggars fighting for food.

On the roadside near the village, several Leia knights kicked the falling heads across the scorched earth as if they were playing. When a knight in silver greaves was about to volley, the horse whip of the great knight Laful broke through the air and hit the seam of his cervical armor: "Desecration of corpses! Do you want to go to hell? Go back to the camp!"

The knights then left, begging for mercy. However, several masked ascetics walked out behind Laffer.

They wore hooded robes with only their eyes exposed.

Six masked ascetics took bags of lime from the packhorse's backpack and silently pieced the remains together into a rough human shape.

Their sackcloth hoods rose and fell with their movements, revealing the dark red blue bee marks on their necks.

When the Immortal Army knights escorted the corpse cart past, the squire knights unconsciously reined in their horses and took a half step back - the water drops dripping from under the visor were as sticky as grease.

"Knight Commander Raffl," the squire Jurgen couldn't help but ask, "Where are these Immortal Knights going to transport these bodies to?"

"It's buried or burned." Laful looked at the Immortal Army knights escorting the corpse cart, and his eyes revealed a bit of disgust that could not be concealed. "It's to prevent the plague, you don't have to worry about it."

Looking at the departing Immortal Army knights, he turned his head to look at the Qila Castle in front of him, but smiled at himself.

According to Jinigis's plan, Thousand River Valley is a must-attack.

He knew that according to common sense, the next target of the Kingdom of Leia should be the Windmill Land or the Thorn Garden.

But Jinigis was about to take advantage of this information gap and refused to disband his troops and attacked Qianhe Valley in advance.

It is to make enough money by selling territories and manors and other activities that consume the legitimacy of the crown.

We're going to fall out sooner or later anyway, so it's better to get some money in advance.

Therefore, King Gigi first sent spies disguised as ascetics to enter the Thousand River Valley to draw maps and troop distribution, while also contacting local nobles.

Secondly, he won over the Duke of Wing Nest, dug the Innocent Dam, and forced chaos within the Thousand River Valley.

Then he took the opportunity to incite a riot, and then let Laffer lead his elite troops to launch a surprise attack.

With the maps and troop distribution maps drawn by the ascetics pretending to be on pilgrimage, they launched another surprise attack.

Not to mention Melia, even if the Saint Grandson was in charge of Xia Lu City, it would not make any difference.

Soon several border fortresses fell into the hands of the Leia people, and the previously prepared strategy of keeping the enemy out of the country no longer worked.

They have already taken the next most crucial step.

He led the people of Pingyuan County to massacre the mountain people in the military settlement area and ordinary mountain people, in order to sow discord between the two sides.

Originally, Melia only paid off the bonds of the mountain people, did not pay off the bonds of the plains people, and carried out bloody suppression, which had accumulated enough public resentment.

Of course, the "people" here refers specifically to citizen craftsmen, ruffians, and landlords of all sizes who are capable of causing trouble.

A real Plains County farmer could hardly afford two dinars, let alone buy expensive bonds, let alone care about this.

This public resentment was on the verge of exploding under the instigation of a group of plains nobles such as Sampoli.

Then can Meliati's army, which is mainly composed of mountain people, still fight normally in the plain county?

Ralph thought not.

Although the vassal army of Xianshidian sent several thousand people to the town of Comita, it did not affect the overall situation.

The plan formulated by Genegis was successful at every step.

Even Lavr had to admit that the new king did have some of his father's youthful style.

It’s just that when his father was young, he still had limits. Although he was cruel, he would not use any means.

But this new king—

"It's really too cruel and brutal..."

With a sigh, Lavle looked towards the direction of Xialu City, and behind that was Rapid City.

After Rapid City is the end point of their attack on Thousand River Valley - the Holy Machinery Court.

I hope this war can end soon!
