Chapter 238 Anger!

Shanglu Village has become a piece of scorched earth. The murderer who attacked the village set a fire and burned all the houses to ruins. 【】These guys didn't even spare the grain that was about to mature. The wheat fields around the village were full of ashes after the fire, and not even a single ear of wheat could be preserved.

What made Roger even more angry was that dozens of corpses were piled up in disorder in the open space at the entrance of the village.These corpses include men and women, old people and children. Judging from their clothes, they should be the villagers of Shanglu Village.Many women had obviously been insulted during their lifetime, their clothes were in a mess, and their legs were even cut to a bloody mess.

Roger even saw a tiny baby lying on the cold ground.Although his chubby little hands were still reaching out to the sky, as if he wanted to grab something, but the little corpse had already become stiff, and his originally rosy face had also turned ashen.Before the child had time to grow up, his life had already been taken away by those cruel murderers.

"It's too tragic, even the nursing child is not spared." An old soldier whispered angrily behind Roger, and it could be heard that his heart was also burning with raging anger.

Roger only felt that he was more angry than ever, and his anger almost turned him into an erupting volcano.The experience of these villagers was too miserable. Even in the villages in the Lund Peninsula that were ravaged by the undead, he had never seen such a tragedy.

And this is not the Lund Peninsula where undead creatures are infested, and undead creatures will not want to insult women in addition to killing.Everything in front of him showed that this horrific crime was committed by human beings, which was one of the reasons why Roger was so angry.

Roger suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Mike beside him: "When did you find out?"

"This morning." Knowing that Roger is definitely not in a good mood, the hunter immediately replied in a deep voice: "Eddie knows that the grain here is about to ripen, let me inform the villagers to transport half of the grain to the Go to Kent Town. As soon as I got here, I found that something was wrong, so I hurried back to report to you. The fire was still alive when I left, and the murderers obviously didn’t leave for long.”

Mike's measurement was not wrong. Both the village and the wheat fields were still emitting light smoke. If you got closer, you could feel the residual heat after the fire. It was obvious that the catastrophe hadn't lasted long.And the purpose of these murderers is not to grab food or property, they are here to destroy the entire Shanglu Village, that's why these guys kill all people and burn everything.Roger suspected that the murderer did this to prevent the village of Chanlu from sending grain to Kent Town, otherwise they would not have chosen to attack the village a few days before the wheat matured.

No matter why the murderer came, and no matter what their identities were, Roger would never let these bastards go.This is not only because he is the lord of Kent County, and he is obliged to protect the people in the territory, but also because these murderers are inhumane. Even as a human being, Roger will not let these guys go unpunished.

Angry, Roger reminded himself to be calm, and lightly instructed Mike and the others: "Check everywhere, if there are any clues."

Mike and others immediately scattered around the village to check. They were either seasoned hunters or experienced soldiers, and they quickly came to a unified conclusion.

"My lord, the one who did this is definitely not an ordinary thief or orc." Mike communicated with the others in a low voice for a while, then said to Roger solemnly: "We found some arrows in the village, all of which were of uniform specifications, only Regular armies use exactly the same arrows."

"Regular army?" Mike's words immediately made Roger think of the Wood family in the neighboring territory. Apart from their regular army, it seems that there is no other armed force that can be worthy of these four words.

And since the Wood family recently issued a series of malicious orders against themselves, they are likely to go one step further and do this inhumane thing.The more Roger thought about it, the more he felt that the Wood family was very suspicious, and his brows frowned even tighter.

"My lord, there are still a few living people here!" At this moment, Roger, a soldier pointed to the woods not far away and shouted: "They are coming!"

These people who appeared suddenly made Mike and others nervous for a while, for fear that the other party would be unfavorable to Roger.When these people got closer, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.These people are old and young, and there are two little girls under ten years old. They don't look like the assassin who just assassinated the lord, but more like massacring the surviving villagers.

Mike went up to ask and found that these people were indeed villagers from Shanglu.They happened to be collecting firewood in the woods when the incident happened, and when they found something was wrong, they quickly hid, and they were lucky enough to survive.

Knowing that the lord came to inquire about this matter in person, one of the old men said to Roger in tears: "My lord, please avenge us. There are more than 100 people in the village, and in a blink of an eye there are only a few of us left. These murderers It's really disgusting!"

"Don't worry, I will make decisions for you." Roger was also very sympathetic to these people's experiences, and asked kindly: "Did you hear what those guys said when they committed crimes? Anything is important, Think about it carefully."

"The words of the murderer?" The old man tried hard to recall for a while, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, my lord, we were all terrified at that time, only the screams of family and friends begging for mercy were heard, and we didn't pay attention to what those people were saying. What."

The old man was telling the truth, and Roger couldn't blame him for anything.An ordinary person must have been terrified in such a situation, how could he notice what the murderers were saying?

"My lord, I heard them talking." Just when Roger was almost desperate, a thin little girl suddenly said timidly: "When I was hiding in the grass, I heard one person asking the other to move quickly. Let’s talk about what kind of forest they are going to attack the lumber camp, that forest is called… called…”

Roger's face changed when he heard the little girl's words, and he quickly continued: "Green Sea Forest, are they talking about Green Sea Forest?!"

"That's right, it's the Green Sea Forest!" The little girl nodded repeatedly and said, "I heard it with my own ears!"

"Mike, protect these people and go back to Kent Town!" Knowing that the next stop of these murderers was to attack the logging camp in Green Sea Forest, Roger, who was worried about Bonnie's safety, immediately ordered loudly: "Close the town gate immediately when you return to town!" Let everyone stay alert, prohibit everyone from entering and leaving, and wait for me to come back!"

"My lord, where are you going?" Seeing that Roger had gotten on his horse, Mike hurriedly said loudly, "I'll go with you!"

"The town of Kent needs you, obey my orders!" Roger told Mike to obey his orders loudly, and then he rode his horse and quickly ran towards the Green Sea Forest.
