Chapter 253 Breakout
Li Yu wanted to find out the whole story, but the villagers opposite didn't want to give him this chance.
They waved the ridiculous-looking weapons in their hands and quickly surrounded the longhouse where Shuangxiujiao and others were. Then they ignored Tom's request for negotiation and launched an attack on the gate.
But as the tied old farmer was pushed out of the house, the crowd finally stopped.
The few people at the front looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked at a loss. They were probably the ones who arranged all this. They didn't expect such a thing to happen, so they didn't explain it in advance. .
At this time, Li Yu could finally speak and asked, "Who among you is the leader?"
No one answered, but many villagers focused their attention on the old farmer who was held hostage by Tom. However, the latter's mouth was blocked with a piece of cloth by the Black Dog Guard.
This is to prevent him from talking nonsense and being discovered that he has lost his mind.
"Oh, besides him?" Li Yuyou asked.
Someone in the crowd shouted at this time, "Don't talk to him. Priest Gille said that these pagans are monsters. They can confuse people's hearts through words! They have controlled your mind unknowingly. We must hurry up." Get rid of them!”
"But Uncle Tim is still in their hands." Someone hesitated.
"Uncle Tim said that he and Aunt Emma are ready to sacrifice their lives for the goddess." Another person said, "What we have to do is to avenge them, Liz and Claire, and kill all these heretics! ”
"With all due respect, you may have overestimated your own combat power and underestimated ours." Tom interjected, "If you really want to take action, you probably can only pray that you can run faster than your companions!"
"We are not afraid of you! Damn heretics!!!" A boy who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old waved a wooden stick and said, his whole face turned red because he was so excited.
Tom was too lazy to talk nonsense. He handed the hostage in his hand to the colleague beside him. The next moment, he suddenly ran out without any warning. In just a few steps, he ran in front of the young man.
Then he reached out and snatched the wooden stick from the opponent's hand, broke it off with a flick, threw it on the ground, and mocked, "Are you going to use this thing to kill me?"
At this time, the surrounding villagers reacted. Someone raised the sickle in his hand and struck Tom. Tom did not dodge, and just let the sickle fall on his chest. After a crisp sound, his dwarf Not a single scratch was left on the armor.
"See, whoever asked you to attack us didn't have any good intentions. He clearly wanted you to die." Tom said as he dodged the attacks of several villagers around him and retreated safely. original location.
He even had time to adjust his shoulder armor.
And his move not only failed to calm down the villagers in front of him, but aroused their anger even more, and they looked like they were about to rush over and fight for their lives at any time.
Li Yu frowned. He did not expect that this group of villagers would be so ignorant. He made it clear that he wanted to drive them all out and would not listen to anything they said. They were just like those brainwashed by pyramid schemes.
Unsurprisingly, the person who instilled these hateful thoughts into them was the Gil priest.
Could it be that Silver Moon Church finally couldn't hold it in any longer?
Li Yu looked around the crowd, but did not find the figure of Priest Gil, so he turned to Tom and said, "Get ready to break out. The other side hopes that we can kill tonight. We can't step in their trap." Is it possible to prevent the situation from getting worse without making a fatal move?”
The captain of the guard, whose hair had become thicker, nodded, "If you are just breaking out, you really don't need to use your sword to deal with these mobs, but I just asked the people who were staying outside, and according to their descriptions, there should be some very powerful people hiding in the woods. The archers, and now we have lost our horses and are carrying the wounded. If they attack us, it will not be easy to leave.”
"What if we don't walk the same way we came?" the Common Language teacher suggested at this time, "We can go to the Popo family's territory instead of returning to Green Field, and ask them to send someone to protect us and escort us back."
"It's useless. At our current speed, if we walk in the other direction, those archers can easily catch up with us, and we are even less familiar with the terrain there. We might even have a conflict with the soldiers of the Popo family. The Western Region These nobles all believe in Bisiya.”
Tom seemed to have thought of something when he said this, and then looked at Anton with a suspicious look on his face, "You are also from the Silver Moon Church, right? Were you also involved in this incident? You tricked us into coming here."< br>
The Common Language teacher was shocked and quickly defended, "Like you, I know nothing about what happened in this village." After a pause, he added, "From what the villagers said, it was your people who came first Something bad has been done here. Of course, those villagers shouldn’t start shouting and killing them.”
The last half of the sentence was added temporarily by Anton when he saw that Tom's expression was not right.
Li Yu said, "There is nothing wrong with Anton. With his position and importance in the Silver Moon Church, the church will not let him get involved in such a thing."
"…………"
The Common Language teacher didn’t know what to say.
But no one paid attention to him anymore, Li Yu said, "Wait a moment, we will leave when it gets darker."
The crowd continued to confront the villagers for a period of time. During this period, the villagers launched two waves of attacks, but Tom led his men to fight them back. By the way, they also grabbed some less lethal weapons such as sticks.
Tom distributed the weapons and took a chair for himself.
Seeing that it was almost dark, everyone started to break out according to the plan.
Tom took the lead and the other two Black Dog Guards. The other guards surrounded Li Yu, Anton and the companion with the injured leg in the middle, and began to move towards the outside of the village.
The villagers all looked fierce, but in the eyes of professional soldiers like Tom, their fighting ability was not much better than that of the boy with the wooden stick before.
Moreover, the Black Dog Guards are well-equipped. The dwarf armor and the freshly made dragon scale shield protect them tightly. The simple weapons in the hands of the farmers cannot hurt them at all.
Until they approached the entrance of the village, the archers who had shot the horses not long ago appeared again.
An arrow with a black iron arrow flew towards Tom's eyes, but was blocked by Tom who was concentrating on keeping alert with the shield in his hand. (End of chapter)
