Chapter 110: The Barbarians Are Coming
Chapter 110: The Barbarians Are Coming
The barbarians came!
This news immediately spread throughout the town.
Almost at the same time that Jayce spotted the barbarians, Mayor Rupert, who was guarding near the fields waiting for news, was alerted by his soldiers to see the sprinting figures in the distance.
He blacked out and nearly leaned over, but fortunately the soldier beside him dutifully held his back.
It kept the mayor from losing too much face in front of his men.
“Why did the barbarians suddenly come over?”
It was obviously not yet time to turn in the sound grinding fruit this year, could it be that the barbarians couldn’t wait?
“Quickly, quickly go and transfer all the people over! Definitely can’t let them rush into the fields!” The mayor hurriedly shouted, “Right, quickly send someone to call Captain Jeff back.”
Immediately, several soldiers got out of the line and ran in different directions.
The soldiers behind the town mayor could not leave because they were still holding the town mayor up, and reminded somewhat anxiously, “Town mayor, should we open the defense barrier?”
“Yes, yes!” The town mayor finally remembered that his town still had a bottom card, “I’ll go invite the wizard lord.”
The town mayor finally stood up relying on his own strength.
Dragging his weakened body, he ran to the tower’s main door, not caring about politeness, and slapped the door with all his might.
“Lord Shelly, Lord Shelly, the barbarians are calling, the barbarians are calling.”
Although it had been a long time since they had been directly infested by barbarians, the terror and bloody legends of the barbarians had never been broken.
This was why even though there were consecutive girls who died because of the sound grinding fruit, most of the people in the town were unwilling to leave the town.
However, the mayor knocked on the door for a long time, but there was still no response from anyone inside.
He was a bit panicked.
Had Lord Shelly already started?
It shouldn’t be.
He tortured the girls well before he started every time.
At the current pace of time, it should just be getting to the appetizers and could stop at any time.
“Lord Shelly! Lord Shelly!” Mayor Rupert raised his voice, the shaky end of it giving away his unease.
The barbarian’s individual quality was very strong, and the silhouette that had just been far away in the sky had come several thousand meters away in the short time that the crowd had panicked.
Soldiers with good eyes could even see the primitive weapons wielded in their hands.
A few soldiers dragged three or four meter long counter-charging fences two by two and placed them between the empty houses and the towers.
It was just that the fence looked like a display, so ridiculous.
Others brought long-range weapons, bows and arrows, spears.
These weapons had been sitting in the empty house next to the clearing, but they had been unused and neglected for years.
They were usually hardly attacked by strong enemies, and even if there was the occasional ungrateful one, they could let the sorcerer lord intervene to solve the problem.
But today.
Their Sorcerer Lord hadn’t moved. Mayor Rupert tried to force his way into the tower without permission, but realized he couldn’t even open the door.
Jaycee, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and his heart skipped a beat… Couldn’t the door to that tower be opened from the outside?
What if he and Ada rushed over there, only to find that they couldn’t even enter the door ……
Ada who saw this scene was equally scared, but he thought of Penny who was inside the tower and instead became more anxious.
“The mayor couldn’t open the door when he called, has that wizard already started on Penny?” Ada tugged at Jaycee’s sleeve, and in his heart, he had already begun to guess towards a bad outcome.
Jayes looked at the pale Ada, knowing what he was worried about, but at this moment could only comfort, “The barbarians are coming, this is instead our chance, that sorcerer if he doesn’t want to see the barbarians enter the town, no matter what he’s doing, he’ll surely stop.”
Jaycee looked at the empty house behind them.
“This place doesn’t usually have an owner, so let’s go in first and hide, wait for that wizard to come out, and then take the opportunity to enter the tower to find Penny.”
Ada glanced at the tower again, the Mayor of Rupert over there had sent someone to bang on the tower’s door, but it still wouldn’t budge.
And the barbarians, in the distance, had already come to the front of the town!
Ada grabbed Jayce, “Jayce, you’d better go back to the town and hide.”
Once the barbarians breached the town’s fragile defense line, it would be very dangerous here!
Jayce, however, shook off Ada’s hand, “I don’t feel comfortable leaving my daughter with you!”
On the other side, the first barbarian had already run to the fence. He saw the soldiers and drooled at the corners of his mouth in excitement.
Another barbarian ran to, looked at the fence in front of him, and stopped in place somewhat confused.
That’s when someone finally relented and shot the first arrow at the barbarian.
That barbarian had a bad brain, but had a natural instinct for fighting.
He dodged sideways, and his shoulder only left a light bloodstain on his arm.
Seeing the blood, the barbarian roared and just got excited.
He raised his foot and kicked at the fence, and the entire fence slid back a large distance, even bringing down a few soldiers.
“Mayor, the barbarians will be close soon, Captain Jeff is not here, please command the defense!” A soldier ran over and shouted to the town mayor who was still guarding under the tower.
“Defense, command …… You still really think you can defend against the barbarians with these rotten iron and wood? Quickly join me in calling Lord Shelly! Only if he opens the sorcery defense, we can survive! What use are you, what use are you?”
Looking at the town mayor whose entire being had become anxious to the point of being unconscious, the soldier wordlessly took two steps back, his face full of incredulity, and in the end, he could only run back and participate in the hasty defense.
The frontmost battle line had already opened up, but just like what Mayor Ruper said, the soldiers were losing ground, and as soon as they fell, they would be cut off by the barbarians with a single slash of their heads.
Panic was beginning to spread and they would soon not be able to hold the line here.
“Father!” A middle-aged man rode his horse and hurriedly ran from the town, carrying a package behind him.
He rode his horse to behind the town mayor, jumped down, flung the parcel down behind him, and pushed it towards the mayor.
“Father, this, take this, use this ……”
The town mayor was finally brought back to his senses by his son, and he gradually regained his senses as he touched the long strip of sound grinding fruit in the parcel.
He, who had long relied on the sorcerer, was at a loss for words after suddenly failing to contact the other party.
“You’re right, those barbarians came here for nothing more than wanting this, so let’s give it to them first.”
The mayor’s son, however, asked in a low voice, “These were supposed to be tributes reserved for this summer, using them for our summer might not be a good idea.”
The mayor knew this as well, but he gritted his teeth, “Let’s focus on the immediate future first. Lord Shelly should be at a critical moment of promotion, we can’t disturb him. By the way, you keep tapping on the door ah, let Lord Shelly open the defense quickly after he notices us here!”
Looking at his father who was already incoherent, the middle-aged man could only nod his head in response.
Holding the package, Rupert ran towards the savages, but when he saw the corpses all over the ground, and the heads that were held high by the savages, he stopped again in a panic.
He called one of his beloved soldiers, “You give this to the barbarian side, the one with the painted face.”
As soon as the beloved soldier took the package, he immediately felt out what was inside as well.
His eyes nearly fell out of their sockets, “Mayor …… now? In front of everyone?”
Shouldn’t this be a private deal between the Sorcerer Lord and the barbarians?
If the Sound Grinding Fruit was given to the barbarians now, wouldn’t the townspeople know that the Sound Grinding Fruit hadn’t been reduced at all, but had merely been taken to the barbarians?
Wouldn’t the angry villagers tear them apart?
“If you don’t want those barbarians to rush into the town and cut all your family in half, then you should go now!” The mayor pushed the soldier without a second thought.
Watching that beloved soldier run towards the barbarians, the town mayor let out a slight sigh of relief.
He hurriedly ran back to his son and wanted to explain something.
Suddenly, he saw his son looking behind him with a horrified face and hurriedly turned back to look as well.
Only then did he realize that the barbarian who had received the package, his next move was to slash at the heartthrob soldier.
That soldier dodged the first cut, but had his head cut off by the second cut.
At this time, an extremely tall barbarian, carrying a thin, but cloaked in a black and red cloak appeared.
They walked over to the barbarian holding the parcel and took the parcel of Ground Sound Fruit.
The barbarian being carried squeezed the package and turned his head towards Mayor Rupert, revealing the black and red stripes on his face.
“Barbarian priest ……” Mayor Rupert a heart completely cold, he waved his arm, grabbed the son who rushed, “back to the town, close the gate. The barbarians they …… they have come to slaughter the town!”
