Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 112

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 112]

The nobles would rather use money to hire demon hunters than allocate money to improve people’s livelihood, which is somewhat incomprehensible to Ciel.

But who would have thought that the peasants had such a skill before they rose up in rebellion?

Ciel knew that most of the time, people were spread out and the villages were so far apart that it was difficult to unite each other geographically.

Not only that, but there are distinct chains of discrimination among farmers, often not united.

In the countryside that Shire is familiar with, the serfs have the lowest rank. Everyone does not regard them as human beings, and they are deliberately excluded at ordinary times. The serfs do not even have the right to leave their descendants. This is for the convenience of management and can be recycled directly after death. their tools and fields.

The tenant farmers were a little better, but they were also considered to be a gang of shabby households. Most of the tenant farmers sold their land during the disaster years and had to rent the land of the nobles.

Farmers can never guarantee a stable harvest year after year, and the number of tenants will only increase.

The self-cultivation farmers have a head and face. Because they have their own land, they only need to pay a small amount of tax to the local lords. They have more money in their hands than others, and their status is naturally higher than others. The nobles also like to recruit them to fight, because they will be in the Work hard on the battlefield to protect your hometown.

The highest rank is the rich peasants. The rich peasants are also called squires in Loman. They also rent their land to tenants. Compared with the real aristocrats, they are only one title away, so they will change their ways to curry favor with the real rich and powerful, hoping to get one. title.

The Upper Loman area was once invaded by barbarians. During the rule of the barbarians in the Frostfall, they widely conferred the most powerful figures of the local Lomans to assist in their rule.

After the Loman nobles regained their land, they still inherited these temporary titles as usual, but they would not announce it publicly. Only when they were particularly powerful and powerful would they move out of the history of their ancestors and re-identify themselves.

The Baniesta brothers in the village of Huron are doing just that.

Ciel hid his figure and hid in the lively crowd.

He wears a simple linen coat and a coachman’s straw hat. The whole outfit was collected from a farmer for 2 silver coins. He also borrowed the identity of one of their relatives. At this moment, it is time for Charr to recharge.

With the loud music, the father of the Barnesta brothers, Bruce Barnesta Sr., climbed to the high platform, took out an old parchment, and announced his identity to everyone.

“By the orders of Ragnar Winterfang the Wise!” he shouted under the clear sky, in a hot and dry climate, “My nineteenth ancestor! Il Baniesta is canonized as Huron Village lord! We have been the legitimate rulers of Hu Lun Village since ancient times!”

“Ooh!”

“Great!” The people around them applauded, and the Baniesta family led them to victory time and time again, and now they are the backbone of the regional rebellion.

“Bring the power-stealer up!” ordered old Bruce, who was thin and had few teeth, but his voice was very loud.

A dejected nobleman was pushed onto a high platform by the villagers. In order to tease him, they dressed him in a gorgeous and beautiful robe. At the same time, he shaved his eyebrows and beard, and his hair was all cut, leaving him bald and bright from the neck up. .

Is there a public trial?

Or to be punished?

Ciel wasn’t quite sure. Having stayed in this chaotic and noisy atmosphere for too long, he worried that he too would be drawn into this dreamy and unrealistic restlessness.

“No more bullying, no more extortionate taxes!” Old Bruce announced boldly, then pulled out his sharp knife and cut the nobleman’s neck with force.

“Hmm—” The nobleman’s eyes widened, he didn’t expect the pain to come so quickly, the person behind him pulled him, and he fell backwards, he lay on his back, his body kept twitching, desperately covering the wound on his neck, but he couldn’t stop it. Blood flowed out, trying to breathe, but air leaked out of the broken trachea.

“Wow!”

“He’s dead! He’s dead!”

“kill him!”

Seeing this bloody scene, people’s excitement was even higher.

Old Bruce saw that the nobleman’s struggle had stopped, looked at the hundreds of villagers under the stage, motioned them to be quiet a little, and then waved, so the three brothers of the Baniesta family came to the stage one after another.

Ciel observed them and found that these three were triplets, with very similar appearances, short red hair, capable faces, strong bodies, silent as cows, and tough skin. Their appearance made the villagers doubly excited and cheered.

“As the lord of Huron Village,” Old Bruce pointed to his children, “I’m here to enact the canonization! Reward my sons Moy, Pierce, and Ron for their exploits!”

People were looking forward to it, waiting for him to go on.

“In the name of the god Edvard, from today onwards, Moy Barnesta becomes the Grand Duke of Limbenburg! Pierce Barnesta becomes the Grand Duke of Ashtree Hall! Ron Barnesta becomes Rain Bay Grand Duke!” Old Bruce announced.

“Ooh!”

“Great! Great!” Everyone applauded.

Ciel just found it interesting to hear that they had divided all the three towns of Upper Loman. Not only did they want to lay down Forestside Fort, but they also wanted to continue their journey towards Ash Tree Hall and Rain Bay Hall. The title is also the “Grand Duke” who has made great achievements. , this title is only awarded to those who are extremely powerful and who have made great contributions to the country.

I heard them say yesterday that they want to abolish privileges and eliminate all nobles. Why are they vying to be upstarts today?

Ciel didn’t quite understand, but the three brothers were all smiling, enjoying the popularity of the people below, immersed in the desire for power and unable to extricate themselves.

“We’ve brought down Earl Chris and his pathetic army! We’ve killed his son in the chaos!” said old Bruce Barnesta arrogantly, though it’s old news, but he repeats it here, people still Replied with great enthusiasm, because this was simply unimaginable in the past, “Next, we will besiege Woodside Castle and capture this old noble’s fortress! By then, the entire territory will be ours! ”

How are these guys going to attack the city?

They had neither siege towers nor catapults, and most importantly, they had no qualified craftsmen.

Charles was curious.

Old Bruce obviously didn’t want to talk about this issue, and after boasting about the merits and contributions of their soldiers, he let everyone leave, leaving the noble’s corpse on the stage to stiffen over time.

There’s no point in looking any further, it’s time to find the demon’s location, and Ciel walks away.

Hu Lun Village has been transformed into a command center for the rebels. They have built new fortresses and towers. They are located on the hills on the outskirts of the village. There will be new estates, and since these new “grand dukes” are unable to cultivate all their own land, they will sell themselves as serfs, force them to cultivate the land, and will also divide the land out and lease it to others.

Ciel thought of this and realized that everything was just a cycle.

“Why do you think so!” Gladiu screamed, “They are aspiring rebel leaders. They built the castle just to defend the village, and they will loyally protect everyone in the future!”

“Everyone is selfish.”

“Nonsense, human beings are bright and beautiful, you have to believe in the kind side of people’s hearts.”

He followed the direction the new grand dukes left, and gradually approached a group of beautiful houses in the village. There were many towering rammed earth walls and courtyards in the houses, which should be the place where the Baniesta family lived together.

Just as Charles was about to approach, he heard a cry: “Stop!”

Ciel stopped consciously and pretended to be timid. Xunsheng saw a guard sitting on a high roof next to him, no wonder he didn’t notice it before.

The other party was wearing a dented pot helmet and white cotton armor. Holding a spear, he stared at Ciel fiercely: “Hey! Where did you come from! What do you want to do?”

He reported the pseudonym and false information he received from the farmer, to dispel the suspicion of the other party a little.

“Go away, and if you dare to approach, I’ll catch you in and lock you up.”

Ciel looked for other directions to try to enter, but they all hit a wall. They obviously guarded this area closely.

Generally speaking, the tighter the defense, the greater the value.

He toured the village again, and the rest of the place was unremarkable, and he saw the carriages loaded with weapons and food and transported into the houses, which seemed to be more suspicious, and the houses and courtyards were huge, if the “colored beasts” If it is in Hu Lun Village, it should also be hidden there.

I’m impatient, I’m afraid I’ll have to push.

Charles thought.

But to find an opportunity, if there is too much movement, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to get away.

The taverns and hotels in the village were closed, and Shire, thirsty from the sun, went to the countryside to fill up water on foot.

He let the wrath hide in a distant place beforehand, and called out when needed.

By the stream, he saw a young and beautiful girl washing clothes. There were several large buckets beside her, which were full of blood-stained clothes. They looked like they had been taken off from dead people, and the styles and sizes were not uniform.

Her red hair, violently cut, of varying lengths, was very ugly, well-proportioned, of marriageable age, and wore a crude linen apron that was too large for her.

Charles didn’t want to disturb her, so he went to a farther place to fill up the water and filled the leather bag. When he turned around, he saw several men gradually approaching the laundry girl.

Their hair was messy, their expressions were obscene, their clothes were plain, they looked like the villagers around them, and shouted at her with filthy words. She immediately stood up, put down the clothes in her hand, and couldn’t help but step back.

As the men approached, uttering obscenities, she retreated into the water, was grabbed by them, and brought back to shore, where they dragged her into the forest by the creek amid her screams and cries for help.

Ciel drank some water, covered his face with a black cloth prepared in advance, drew a knife in his hand, and followed.

In the middle of several tall oak trees, they forced the girl to lie down, cock her buttocks, and she was forced into a humiliating posture and began to cry, her eyes were red and her expression was painful.

The men unfastened their trouser belts, and one of them quickly reached out to pull out the famous and expensive gold jewelry hanging around her neck.

The villagers didn’t bring anything sharp, so they could only pull it with their hands, causing her neck to hurt.

She struggled desperately and begged for mercy to no avail. They waved and fanned her, making a crisp sound.

When these people raised their eyes, they saw a gray knife, bright and sharp in front of them.

“What do you want to do?” One of them was startled.

“Killer!”

“Wow!”

“Shut up,” said Charles hoarsely. “The slowest walker dies.”

Hearing the threat and seeing the unusual sharpness of the knife edge, they immediately fled back and ran towards Hulun Village without looking back, shouting for help as they ran. Come here.

“Let’s go.” Charles looked at the surprised girl, who slumped on the ground, “I won’t wait for you.” Then he turned and left.

He walked a few dozen meters and looked back to see her trying to keep up. Knowing that she didn’t let her work in vain, he held her hand, took advantage of the situation and picked her up by the waist, ran to the river, and picked up a few pieces of washed clothes , and then waded across the stream.

By the time the guards arrived, Ciel had disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 139 Armed Demons

They stopped in the lush forest on the other side of the stream, which was inaccessible and saw only two badgers chasing the pheasants.

“Thank you! Thank you!” Once settled, she immediately thanked Ciel in tears.

“Go catch the bird.” Charles pointed to the pheasant that was running around.

She was stunned and at a loss for what to do, Ciel lay resting by the roots of the tree, looked up at the blue sky, and thought about how to enter the house.

She stood there for a while, not sure what to do, but finally she bit the bullet to find the long-tailed pheasant. It took about ten minutes to take it down with her flying pounce, and she dragged the pheasant back in embarrassment.

“Why?” She couldn’t help asking, holding the bird in her hand, it kept struggling, but the more it struggled, the harder she grabbed her hand, and she was not afraid of being pecked. She still looked terrified, but did not So fragile before.

“Experience life,” Ciel explained. “Experience what the villagers do every day under your parents.”

“You…you know I’m…” She pursed her lips.

“It couldn’t be clearer. They made you wear ill-fitting clothes, they didn’t kill you, they just tried to humiliate you.”

There was an ominous wind around, and the animals fled in panic.

“Take me away…Take me away, I can do anything for you.” She leaned over and fell on Ciel, and the pheasant escaped with a few harsh screams and ran away quickly.

Charles hugged her tightly.

“Um…” She tried to kiss Charles, but he pushed him away.

“Be careful,” he said. “The animals are fleeing, the devil is here.”

He felt a palpitation, and it was a big guy.

Well, without me sneaking somewhere else, it came to me.

nice…

“Close your eyes, cover your ears, lie down, and don’t run away no matter what the situation is, don’t get up and look.” Ciel instructed.

The girl’s eyes widened: “If…if you accidentally see or hear…”

“It will become a fool.” Ciel got up, held a knife, and looked around.

The girl curled up on the ground, closed her eyes, covered her ears, and shivered.

Ciel looked into the distance, and in the forest he saw a tall demon, appearing like a ghost.

there?

Ciel approached it, and the demon disappeared in front of him in an instant, it was an illusion!

After seeing the content clearly at this moment, Ciel frowned, realizing that the place where the demon stood before was only the girl, she still kept a shy posture, lying on the ground, in other words…

When Xia Er turned his head, he saw a red blade slashing at his head, a very fast knife.

He greeted him with a gray knife, and the demon’s attack dissipated like a phantom in the air, replaced by a sudden stab from another angle.

Ciel took the initiative to move forward, passed by the scarlet blade, approached the demon, cut off the weapon, and forced it back.

Now he can see clearly, this is an armed demon, wearing a strong demonic heavy armor, holding a blood-red long knife, wearing a huge ugly helmet, with double horns growing out of it, shaped like a pair of sharp axes.

Covered with armor, it looks more like a mysterious wandering knight than a demon.

An evil light lit up from the red long knife, the demon swung the weapon, and the saw-shaped dazzling light cut towards Xia Er. Xia Er was already prepared, read the flowing shadow, turned into a shadow, and quickly rushed towards the demon.

The demon immediately disappeared from the spot, forcing Ciel to lose his way and to emerge from the apparition.

Taking advantage of the short-term flaw in Ciel’s recovery from the shadow, the demon reappeared in front of Ciel, smashing Ciel by the waist, the scarlet blade smashed the demon armor, and the giant force knocked Ciel flying. Rolling over, the body was impacted, and the severe pain swept through.

The Devil’s Red Knife is infinitely powerful.

The countless curses borne by the evil weapon attacked Ciel, and his coat was instantly decayed and destroyed, but this evil force touched the demon armor inside and could no longer penetrate.

The demonic material made by Gladiu can avoid these negative effects, and the armor has deep knife-sharp marks, blocking other forms of demonic erosion.

Any other human being, other good warrior, or even a god, who is attacked like this, would be damaged by a lot of curses and trauma, and would not be able to retain as much physical strength as the charr.

Ciel quickly got up, and the demon disappeared from the spot again.

pain, pain…

“The hunt begins!” Ciel released the Hunter’s Charm, and a blue line shot out quickly, locking on the demon who was trying to ambush.

As soon as it appeared behind Ciel’s side, it was immediately located by Ciel and could not cause any unexpected effects.

Breathing slightly erratically, Ciel quickly slashed towards the demon, the demon waved his hand to block, Ciel made a neat change of direction, the blade originally slashed from top to bottom, but changed direction in an instant, moving under the demon’s long sword , and then cut its armor forward, and cut into the demonic scales inside.

“Roar!” The demon’s eyes that were burning like eternal karmic fire instantly brightened, and powerful mental disturbances attacked Ciel.

Hell, eternal hell, catastrophe, sinister, demon incarnation—

It was exactly what I wanted to destroy. Ciel charged forward quickly and slashed the demon’s head with a slash. The blade cut through its armor without hindrance, and the crack extended from the head down to the belly. The demon retreated quickly, but the demon soul continued to flow out of it and was greedily swallowed by Gladius.
