Chapter 28: The Queen's Action
Chapter 28 The Princess’ Action
The merchants were helplessly facing the soldiers holding swords. The merchants' goods were about to be plundered and their lives were about to be killed. The soldiers rushed towards the merchants and chopped them to the ground with their swords. The merchants' goods were spilled all over the ground. The traveler was crawling in the crowd, and his luggage was no longer known where he fell.
"Haha, these stupid pigs, if they stay in their own territory, they would not have encountered such a thing." The young nobleman laughed at the merchants who were driven away by the soldiers and killed, and the scattered goods on the ground made him covetous. These goods were enough for his family to use for a while.
"Look at you running there." A soldier grabbed the collar of the foot merchant, raised his sword with a grim smile to cut off the head of the foot merchant, and the foot merchant had already silently recited the name of the dying saint in his heart. At this moment, a dull sound came from behind the soldier, and the soldier screamed and fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" The young nobles and his soldiers noticed the abnormal movement. They stopped what they were doing and saw a flying axe behind the soldier who was lying on the ground.
"It's a flying axe, how come there is a flying axe here?" Among the soldiers led by the young nobles, there were veterans who had been on the battlefield. When he saw the flying axe unique to the Ruovets, he immediately recognized it. But haven't the Ruovets left the northern territory? Did they come back again? The veterans nervously aimed the spear in their hands around, and the other soldiers became nervous when they saw him.
"Odin~~." Many people rushed out of the road with tomahawks, wearing chain armor, and wearing eye-protecting helmets unique to the Ruvids. These tall, blonde, blue-eyed Ruvids had a scattered cold light.
"Damn it, it's really the Ruvids. Be careful." The veteran shouted loudly when he saw the Ruvids rushing over. At this time, the soldiers also gave up the attack on the merchants and instead dealt with the terrifying Ruvids.
"This is a really unlucky day. Why did the Ruvedes appear here?" The traveling merchant lamented for his luck. The brutal Ruvedes' reputation among merchants is more terrifying than that among robbers. I heard that the bowls used by Ruvedes are made of human skulls.
"What are you doing when you stand? Kill those guys quickly." The young nobleman rushed towards a Ruvid warrior with his long sword in his hand. Their swords and battle axes collided with each other and made a sound. The soldiers under the nobleman also woke up from the shock and quickly used their spears and swords to fight against the Ruvid people who came over.
"Ah~~." The Ruvedes who shouted in the fight were skillful in combat. In less than a short while, most of the soldiers led by the nobles were knocked down. The Ruvedes used the battle axe to slap the soldiers to the ground, then waved their thick arms and huge fists to hit the soldiers' faces. Although they beat the soldiers to the point of bruising and swollen faces, no major casualties occurred.
"Go to die, the Novedes." The young nobles had never fought against the Novedes on the battlefield, and he had always been regretful about this. In his heart, he believed that if he had participated in the battle with the Novedes this time, he would have left these Novedes killed the Novedes. But when he was really fighting against the Novedes, he realized that he was really naive. Those tall and strong Novedes danced their battle axes and hit the heavy battle axes on the young nobles' sword, which shocked him to shake his hands holding the sword. The young nobles who grew up in the greenhouse felt the terror of the powerful people in the north for the first time.
"Get out of the way, let me do it." Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind the group of Ruviders. A girl's voice sounded, causing the battle axe raised by Ruviders to be taken back. Ruviders took a few steps back, and a Ruvid girl riding a red war horse appeared behind him.
"Who are you?" The young nobleman looked at the girl riding a horse. The girl was wearing delicate scales and her long red hair was particularly eye-catching because she was facing a woman and unconsciously pushed the tip of the sword downwards.
"My name is Sari, what about you? What is your name?" Sari said condescendingly on her horse.
"I am the eldest son of the Viclode family, Bruto."
"Very good, take my challenge, Bruto."
"I won't duel with a woman," Bruto said arrogantly.
"Look at me, hum." Sari drove forward, and the strong war horse bullied him forward, pushing Bruto aside. Bruto was hit by the eyes of the Ovids, unable to avoid it, and he stabilized his body.
"What are you going to do?" Bruto said angrily. This girl who didn't know how to live or die had to force her to cry with a sword. Bruto thought so in his heart.
"Did you decide to fight me?" Sari saw Bruto lift his sword again, excitedly pulled out the battle axe from his waist, and chopped him at Bruto in front of him.
"Damn it, barbarian." Bruto was rushing to hold Sari's battle axe, and the battle axe cut off from the horse was forced to hide everywhere with the help of height. The people around him hugged their arms and laughed.
"Don't run, look at the axe." Sari slashed left and right from both sides of the horse, constantly driving the war horse to chase Bruto back and forth. Bruto, wearing chain armor, was sweating profusely. Bruto, who grew up in the favor of the family, was humiliated like this for the first time. He was unstable under his feet and tripped by the stones on the road. Bruto, who fell to the ground, was covered in mud and embarrassed.
"It's not fair." Bruto gasped and said to Sari, who was riding on the horse.
"Tsk, it's so boring. I thought you damn guys were so capable, it's better to be fun to beat a wild boar." Sari lost interest in this guy who had not been supported by Roddy for a long time. She pulled out the flying axe and threw it out accurately. The flying axe pierced into the soil between Bruto's legs. Bruto lowered his head and saw the sharp blade of the axe and broke out in cold sweat.
"Don't kill me." Bruto's voice trembled, and he felt death so close to his first time, "I am the eldest son of the Viclode family, and you can exchange me for ransom."
"It's a pity that I threw it off." Sari shrugged, not caring about Bruto's words, "Don't throw away your weapons immediately, hurry, or leave your heads behind."
"Okay, OK." Bruto and his soldiers quickly threw away their weapons. They raised their hands and expressed invincibility. They lined up under the surveillance of the OVIDs. The merchants looked at this scene strangely, not knowing what these OVIDs were going to do.
"Let them take off their armor." Sari thought for a while and said.
"What? It's too cold, please show your mercy." The soldiers looked at the Ruvids, but the Ruvids raised the battle axe in their hands, and they closed their mouths and quickly took off their armor, leaving only the linen shirt inside, trembling in the cold wind, and of course the Bruto was included.
"I'll start running dozens of times, and you start running. If you're still in my sight, be careful of your life, one, two." Sari rode on the horse and looked at these almost naked men, shaking like frightened hens in the cold wind. She held back her laughter and began to count, while Bruto and his soldiers looked at each other, and then suddenly ran away with a shout, as if someone was poking their butts with a sword behind.
"Oh, that pig's trick pushed me." Bruto was pushed by the soldier when he first started, and fell to eat shit, but he quickly got up and ran with his hands and feet.
"Geeh~~." Looking at Bruto and the soldiers in a mess, Sari finally couldn't help laughing, and the people who admired the strong also burst into laughter and laughed at these timid southerners.
"I, what should we do?" Looking at these laughing people, the merchants were so frightened that they didn't know what fate they would face, and they unconsciously got closer together.
"Hey, why are you still standing there? Why aren't you rushing to the road?" Sari turned around and looked at the merchants curiously. The merchants didn't know what was going on. They looked at the Ruvid's battle axe and swallowed.
"We are willing to leave all the goods, please spare our lives." said an older businessman.
"Whoever wants your goods, we are sent by the Lord of Mark to protect you. Don't worry, you are protected by Lord of Mark." Sari announced loudly to the merchants.
"Is this true? Honorable lord." The merchant asked in disbelief.
"Yes, yes, I'm so verbose, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Sari ordered the Ruvids to collect the weapons and armor of Bruto and his men. This was the first spoil she had obtained, and then she left without looking at the merchants. Only then did the merchants confirm that these terrible Ruvids were sent to protect themselves.
"That's great, thank you 100% to Lord Mark." The merchants cheered excitedly.
At this time in the Fort Mark, Schwab sat in his room, and he signed an order in a document, which was an order for the protection of merchants. The signature of the decree was no longer the name of the Lord of the Fort Mark, but the title of Earl Stettin, which means that this was the first Earl Decree signed by Schwab.
"Sir, you are really a smart person. Let the Ruveds help you drive away the robbers, so that those nobles have nothing to say." At some point, Srick came to the door of Schwab's room. After he learned that Srieg, the princess of the Ruveds was leading the Ruveds on a patrol, he guessed Schwab's thoughts.
"I don't know that the OVID is just my guest, and I have no right to ask about any of their actions." Schwab sat in a chair, leaned back, and said.
"Cunning Earl." Srick said with a smile.
