Chapter 270
Chapter 270.
Kevin stayed up almost all night, his heart was torn between running away or staying with the crowd to fight against the lord’s army.
In the end, he decided to stay and work with everyone.
Kevin was almost certain that the lord’s house would definitely send an army to suppress them, it was only a matter of time.
After yesterday’s “negotiation” with the lords, although the people were quite confident in their own power, they also knew that the next struggle would not be so easy.
In order for them to gain a greater advantage, they were stationed in the village of Faber, because their own village does not have any decent defensive buildings, before the resistance to the pirates with the barracks in the pirates after the destruction of the pirates also dismantled.
Now the only building they could find with a defensive nature was the Baden family’s mansion, which was simply a small castle.
In order to avoid their loved ones who still stayed at home to be implicated, they sent people back to the village overnight to notify the people who stayed behind to nearby forests or cliff caves by the sea to hide for a few days, and that’s what they did when the village learned that the pirates were coming over before the new lord succeeded to the throne.
From below the tower came the smell of roasting meat, and the courtyard began to fill with laughter, after Baden ran away, his family’s cattle and sheep and other domestic animals were naturally taken possession of by the villagers, so they killed pigs and slaughtered sheep all the time, so that the people, who couldn’t eat meat more than a couple of times a year, could have a great deal of food.
But Kevin did not have any appetite, he always felt that something bad would happen soon.
He took the initiative to take over the task of guarding the area at first light, and stayed at the highest part of the tower without coming down until someone came up to bring him bread, and he hastily nibbled on a couple of bites.
They had gathered nearly a thousand men, and should …… perhaps …… have some chance of winning? Kevin hypnotized himself more than once, since he decided to stay and work with everyone, he always had to give himself a little hope.
At more than 10:00 a.m., what Kevin was worried about finally happened, a team appeared in his field of vision.
He was almost immediately sure that this was the lord’s army, Kevin who often ran to the richland harbor had seen the drill of the sailors, tight formation, neat and tidy pace, without a long time of training definitely out of this kind of effect.
“Clang clang clang!”
Kevin immediately rang the bell on the tower, which was the agreed warning signal of the crowd.
The constantly echoing bell immediately sent the courtyard into chaos, and although the villagers had already prepared themselves mentally for a confrontation with the lord’s army, when it came to it, fear still clutched their hearts.
“Don’t panic, take your positions!”
“Take your weapons and calm down!”
“We are strong, we are invincible!”
The few “commanders” who were hastily selected last night kept encouraging their men, although they were also a bit beaten up in their hearts.
After a while, the entire courtyard quieted down a bit, and the people on the wall watched the army outside with bated breath.
At this time, the other party had already formed a neat horizontal line right in front of the mansion’s gate.
……
“O Knight Master, you must do it for us.”
“Hang that mob and help us reclaim our property.”
Several rich families of Faber Village surrounded Quake and cried to him with snot and tears.
What Kevin’s gang of outsiders had done had mobilized some of the local bold people of Faber Village, but they could only pick up a little bit of the slack after entering the Baden mansion. Once a person’s emotions were mobilized, it would be hard to calm them down, and these people who didn’t have fun took aim at the other rich households in the village.
For fear of reprisals, these muckrakers now joined the resistance in the mansion.
“Alright all of you, Lord Lord will definitely give you a fair decision.”
Quake asked the people to “invite” these rich families to leave. Then he had loud soldiers hold up trumpets and yell to the people on the wall, “This is an ultimatum from the lord’s mansion, those inside immediately put down their weapons and surrender to receive a judgment from the Lord Lord, or we will deal with you the same way we deal with our enemies!”
The wall responded, “We would like to talk to Lord Lord, there are some conditions we hope he will agree to.”
What? This group of disorganized people still wanted to talk to the lord’s house on conditions?
Several naval officers were happy.
“We repeat, surrender unconditionally and obediently at once!”
“We won’t leave this place until the lord promises us, please send someone whose words work to come in and talk to us, we promise not to harm him.”
Captain Quirk frowned in silence, remembering his own creed in life when he was a pirate.
The first mate, seeing the captain wandering off, coughed loudly and said, “Captain, the disorganized people have rejected the ultimatum, we can attack. The soldiers are ready, and after scouting around there is no ambush to be found.”
“Uh? Oh!”
Quake snapped back, then he bellowed as if he had made up his mind about something, “Attack!”
The Navy men who had formed up in a horizontal line stepped away and headed for the fence of the Baden house. They were also carrying ladders to make it easier to climb the two-meter-high courtyard wall.
This also included the likes of Kevin Alfred, who was a Naval Officer Candidate, the superiors felt that it was time for these dolls to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, and it was a good opportunity to suppress the riotous and chaotic people who had low combat power.
“Why don’t you guys surrender? Why don’t you surrender?”
Although his gait was firm, the young prospect’s heart was torn at the moment, Allen himself was from a family of salts, so he was more convinced that this group of salts were oppressed by the landlords and had to fight than the claim that the salts were resisting the taxes and rioting.
He has been familiar with salt cooking since he was a child, so he naturally knows how much impact the emergence of salt farms will have on the traditional salt cooking industry.
But his long-trained obedience made him choose to follow the order to attack these salt people.
When the people on the wall saw that the army had ignored their demands and was coming towards them in an offensive stance, they were in a state of chaos.
“What’s the point of panicking? Can’t you see that they only have a mere 100 people? We are several times their number.”
The “commanders” loudly reminded their companions.
“Hit them with the catapults!”
“Cut them with swords!”
……
A sparse amount of rocks were shot towards the navy soldiers, hitting quite a few of them.
The officers regretted that if it weren’t for the fact that they were trying to get to the riot site as quickly as possible, they would have pulled their artillery over, and it wouldn’t have taken too much, just a few blasts would have blown up the broken wall in front of them.
“Spread out and run forward!”
The opposite side was just a ragtag bunch, using no more than keeping a tight formation.
The hit rate of the stone thrower dropped to almost zero all of a sudden, the sailors ran and quickly approached the courtyard wall, the first soldiers to arrive with a volley of gunfire hit the people on the wall didn’t dare to risk their heads, the people behind them ignited grenades and threw them inside the courtyard, when the sound of explosions and screams came from inside, without waiting for the ladders to arrive, the sailors climbed up the wall with a iterative approach.
The battle was soon over ……
