Chapter 40: The Road Sees Injustice
"Lord, please punish these lowly unruly people and maintain their majesty." The old village chief showed an angry look to apologize to Colin.
After all, Colin was not a person from this world and did not find anything wrong. Being a lord was just a whim and he was not ready to change anything now. After all, he was not here to make a changer.
"Since that's the case, just give some punishments in your way. Don't hang them all. You have to choose the fifty people I need before dark." Colin simply maintained his majesty among the villagers and ordered the village chief.
"I also have some things to ask you about where our territory is now. You can introduce the forces around you in detail." Colin disbanded the villagers and left the village chief and asked.
"Lord, I'm not very clear about the specifics. I've been in the Black Crow Tower for more than ten years, but I heard of the slave traders last time, and the outside world has been in war. Since the kingdom was destroyed decades ago, some big lords are now fighting, which has been going on for a long time."
"In my memory, the closest thing to us should be the territory of Count Kratos. He is one of the most powerful lords in the east. He should be able to reach the forest when he keeps walking west." The old village chief thought for a long time and finally said something useful.
Colin also got the information he wanted to know. After sending the new people to the factory, he headed straight west. The once gloomy forest lost the entrenchment of crows and gradually restored the ecology. Various animals also began to appear, which also allowed Colin to display his cooking skills and satisfy his taste buds and Delia.
Delia and Colin moved at an unimaginable speed for ordinary people, and soon walked out of the forest and came to a new world. However, the oncoming picture was not very friendly. A group of soldiers plundered the village and set fire, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and coke.
Delia looked at this scene, a hint of anger appeared on her cold face. She drew out her sword and was about to go forward, but was stopped by Colin. Delia looked at Colin with some anger.
Colin didn't explain much, and walked forward directly, looking indifferently at the warriors who were doing beastly behavior, which also attracted the attention of their leaders.
"Who are you? Don't meddle in other people's business. We are the mercenaries of Lord Sedos, the hand of God." The warrior leader rode on the horse, looking at Colin who was coming, not dressed like an ordinary villager, and did not act too badly, but reported his own background first.
"Do you know how to get to the territory of Count Kratos?" Colin asked directly to the warrior leader.
The warrior leader was stunned and then started to laugh, "Hahaha, you are asking the right person. This place was his territory yesterday, but it is no longer now. It is Baron Setos now."
"Can you be Kratos's man?" The soldier leader smiled for a while and his face turned cold, and he asked Colin suspiciously.
"No, no, you misunderstood. I'm not Kratos's man." Colin said innocently, and then said, "But I need to borrow something from you."
"What?" The warrior leader was a little confused by Colin's words.
"Your horse, and... your head, I want to give Kratos some meeting gifts." Colin said directly after teasing the other side, satisfied his evil tastes.
When the leader heard this, his face changed instantly. He drew out his long sword and shouted to the brothers behind him: "The enemy is coming again, kill these two people!"
Delia also heard what Colin meant, and her figure disappeared instantly and directly hit the warrior leader with one sword. The warrior leader rolled far on the ground. When she stood up, she had a deep wound on her chest, bleeding constantly.
Seeing that their boss was repelled, these mercenaries understood the difficulty of the girl in front of them, and they all threw down the property they snatched and pulled out their weapons.
When Colin saw that Delia had already arrived, he also took out his own Lord of the Scarlet Sun. He had not used the long sword for a long time. Since his spirit began to rise, those people with lower spirits were like mentally retarded in front of him, and had no resistance to spells.
The appearance of the Lord of the Scarlet Sword with its own light effect appeared in the eyes of the warriors, completely igniting their greed. This sword is definitely more valuable than snatching more than a dozen villages by itself.
Relying on their large numbers, the mercenaries directly attacked Colin and the others without hesitation. However, the power of the purple extraordinary sword was not something these mortals could resist. All those who came into contact with Colin's weapons were cut open instantly like pieces of paper.
Delia on the other side finally showed her strength in front of Colin for the first time. She flexibly reaped life in the crowd, and the enemy could not even touch the corner of her long dress.
More than a dozen mercenaries finally understood that they had kicked the steel plate. This weapon was not something they could covet. They began to flee one after another, but were blocked by the sea of fire they caused and soon died at the hands of Colin and the others.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, give you all the things." The warrior leader begged Colin for mercy, dragging his excessively bleeding body.
"Aren't I going to borrow something from you? You haven't told me whether to borrow it or not." Colin continued to joke with him.
"I borrow, I borrow, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! You madman, we Lord, have wizards under you, you have to think clearly!" The warrior leader was a little confused because of excessive blood loss, but finally reacted, realizing that he could not escape death, and shouted at Colin for the last sentence.
But before Colin could do anything, he fell to the ground. Colin also said a little embarrassedly: "You said it earlier. I'll go to your baron to understand the situation."
"Although you have some bad taste, you are not bad." Delia put away her long sword and suddenly said to Colin.
"???" Colin looked questioning, as if he had been misunderstood something.
Of course, Colin did not cut off the heads of these mercenaries afterwards, but let the survivors of these villages clean up the battlefield and pass through their belief that their kindness would be transmitted to their lords.
Colin and Delia picked two better horses and headed towards the location of Earl Kratos under the guidance of the villagers, and headed towards the Long River City. Along the way, Colin saw various destruction, and the war made the place miserable.
Two days later, Colin and the others arrived at the Long River City, and there was finally a sense of prosperity here, but there were fully armed soldiers everywhere, and it seemed that the war was not far from here.
"I can't use magic tricks anymore." Just as I was about to enter the city, Delia told Colin softly.
"Oh." Colin didn't even look at Delia, but just replied simply.
Delia held the horse and looked at Colin, worried that her intentions would not be conveyed and repeated: "This way I can't protect you well."
Colin smiled and said nothing. The two of them came to a clean hotel. Fortunately, the gold coins obtained by the system were still available here, so they settled down directly.
