king of the castle

Chapter 32 Slander

Roger was exhausted after a tough fight. 【】I don't know how long I slept for this sleep, but I was awakened by the noise outside in a daze.

"It's so noisy..." Roger stretched while complaining, but found that Lisa, who had been standing by the bed, had an unnatural expression and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"No... nothing!" The girl instinctively wanted to hide it, but at this moment there was a sudden commotion outside, and Lisa's pretty face turned pale in an instant.

At this time, Roger also heard the content of the noise clearly. They were all words like "burn the guy who colluded with the undead creatures!", "drive the human traitors out of our town!".The sound waves outside were louder and louder. It sounded like a lot of people had gathered outside the hotel, and it looked like the whole town was mobilized.

Roger tilted his head to listen for a while, then asked Lisa with a puzzled face, "Are those people talking about us?"

"Yeah!" The girl whispered unwillingly: "Master, you risked your life to protect the town, but they... are too much!"

"These simple-minded idiots are being sold and counting the money for others!" Roger figured out their joints after a little thought, and couldn't help snorting softly: "Who cares about this broken town? leave here!"

Lisa didn't want to stay here for a long time, and immediately went to inform the others to prepare to leave.Roger walked out of the room only to find that the hotel entrance was already full of people.Although most of them are residents of Oak Town, the ones standing in the front are all mercenaries under Markas.

Bewitched by Ivan and the mercenaries, the residents of the town thought that Roger had lured the undead creatures to attack Oak Town, and they all looked filled with righteous indignation.If it weren't for the four surviving spear militiamen and Mike and others guarding the door, I'm afraid these guys would have rushed in to Roger's disadvantage.

When Luo Jie appeared at the door, the residents of the small town couldn't help but take a few steps back. The name of "collaborating with undead creatures" was quite scary.

Ivan, who was in the crowd, got weaker and screamed inwardly, he stood up and shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid of him, colluding with undead creatures... Even if the church finds out, he will be burned at the stake. We can't let this devil go!"

Ivan's words immediately rekindled the anger of the crowd, and many people shouted "Burn him! Burn him!" and slowly approached the hotel's gate.

"Okay, I've let you go, and you dare to provoke me, you're asking for your own death!" As soon as Roger saw that Ivan was playing tricks on him, the anger in his heart immediately surged up.

The angry Roger completely ignored the clamor of the crowd, and walked to the door of the hotel with a cold face.After all, the lingering prestige of the previous battle against undead creatures still exists, and those who were shouting just now were immediately overwhelmed by him.

"You stupid guys, you actually said that I colluded with undead creatures!" Roger glanced at everyone, and suddenly raised his voice: "You have forgotten who desperately resisted the attack of undead creatures, and defending Oak Town also saved your lives ?!"

Ivan had thought that Roger would say this a long time ago, and immediately shouted loudly: "That was just a play you played with undead creatures in order to gain our trust! After everyone trusts you, you will secretly let undead creatures into the town , turning us all into skeletons!"

The townspeople agreed with Ivan's conspiracy theory very much, and echoed loudly: "That's right, that's right, it's indeed a conspiracy, that's the truth!"

Seeing that these townspeople had their own opinions, and they believed whatever Ivan said, Roger's patience was gradually exhausted.Especially thinking that more undead creatures may come here at any time, he is even more unwilling to waste time on these mindless guys.Roger, who had made up his mind, suddenly smiled coldly, drew out his dagger and shouted loudly: "My people and I are leaving now, who dares to stop?!"

Ivan was taken aback by Roger's words. Although forcing him to leave had achieved Markas' goal, it was not enough for Ivan.What he wanted was to let Roger die here. Only in this way could he vent his anger and take the pretty maid next to Roger as his own.

Out of such considerations, Ivan immediately shouted: "Don't even think about running away, do you just want to leave like this when you collude with undead creatures to destroy our town?! Everyone, don't let him run away, you must let him go At the stake for my own redemption!"

Many residents of Oak Town were fools without opinions. Under Ivan's instigation, they shouted as if they lost their minds: "Burn him, burn him!"

"You can't do this!" Amidst the noise, the young woman that Roger had helped before squeezed her child to the door of the hotel and shouted: "Mr. Li is a good person, it is impossible for him to collude with undead creatures..."

However, the young woman's words were immediately overwhelmed by other people's scolding. Many people scolded her for being confused, blinded by the little favors of Luo Jie and others, and unable to understand his ugly true face.Some people even said that the young woman was also with Roger and wanted to burn her and her child to death.

Roger hurriedly let the young woman and child into the hotel, at least it was safe for the time being.If the two were allowed to stay outside, they might be killed by angry townspeople soon.

Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he wanted, Ivan from the crowd smiled smugly.He knew that as long as he worked harder, the angry crowd would tie up Roger and burn him alive. At that time, he would not only win the trust of Marcus, but even the delicate girl would be his own.

Of course Ivan also thought that Roger would definitely resist, but he was not worried about it.Ivan has come out, Roger's men are only capable of fighting with those soldiers with long guns.Now there are only four of these soldiers left, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be the opponent of nearly thirty mercenaries, so Ivan feels that Roger has already lost this battle.

"Mr. Li, your current strength is not our opponent at all, I advise you to surrender obediently!" Ivan triumphantly stepped forward and said to Roger: "By the way, don't worry about your beautiful maid, I will take good care of her Yes, hahahaha!"

Seeing Ivan's villain's success, Roger said word by word: "I will leave with the others, but before I leave, I will definitely kill you!"

"Haha, why? Just rely on your four soldiers?" Ivan, who felt that he was sure of winning, laughed arrogantly, but soon heard a voice that was both familiar and frightening.

An ominous premonition flooded Ivan's heart. He turned his stiff neck and looked in the direction of the sound. Immediately, he saw a group of soldiers walking towards him with long guns.The tip of the spear reflected the terrifying cold light, which made Ivan feel that he was falling into the ice cave and his whole body was icy cold. His mind turned over and over with only one thought: "Where did these soldiers come from?!"
