251 Intricate Situation
Xin Sheng looked up and looked at Natiya on the side. At the same time, they pulled out their weapons and rushed out of the dilapidated thatched hut.
Pegasus and Natiya's mounts were tied under the straw shed outside the house.
At this time, Pegas had cleverly broken free from the slip knot that Xin Sheng deliberately tied, jumped up and down in front of the dirt road outside the house, showing obvious fighting will.
Two ragged villagers fell to the ground with their chests covering their chests. One of them had bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and a gray-black horseshoe mark was left on the clothes on their chests.
'I see.'
Seeing the situation at the scene, Xin Sheng probably knew what was going on.
It's just that some people want to steal the horse while Xin Sheng and Natiya are not paying attention to it, but they obviously misjudged Pegas's spirituality and ferocity.
Pegas was the mighty horse king in the tribe. After being tamed, he followed Xin Sheng to travel throughout ancient Greece and participated in many dangerous battles together, which was definitely not an ordinary Marco.
"puff!"
Pegas was leaping around the avenue, and the three panting villagers still tried to surround it without giving up, but their actions were destined to be futile.
The Phantom Crossbow popped out in the arm armor of the Shunjian, and Xin Sheng pointed the crossbow arrow at one of them without saying a word.
"Swoosh~"
The power of the pocket crossbow arrow is not strong, and Xin Sheng does not expect it to kill the enemy. The medicine applied to the crossbow arrow is the key point.
"Well!"
"ah!"
Two arrows hit two different targets one after another, and Natiya suddenly rushed out and rushed to the last villager.
"Bang!"
The seemingly powerless snow-white fist broke through the resistance of the air and hit the enemy's abdomen heavily.
The unlucky guy who was hit had his eyes bulging and was knocked away by Natiya for several meters.
After landing, the man did not faint from the pain. He curled up like a lobster on the ground, and made a faint moan in an unformed and faint moan in his throat.
At the same time, the two people who were hit by the crossbow arrow were also affected by the attack of hypnosis, rolling their eyes and falling asleep on the ground.
Xin Sheng looked back at Tom in the room. This old man who had worked as a soldier in a big city was very clever. He grabbed his wife and son and did not come out to watch the fun. Instead, he hid all the black bread on the table.
The originally noisy village immediately became silent after the lightning contact. The villagers hiding from a distance to observe the situation all showed fear and hurriedly avoided direct contact with Natiya's sight.
"snort!"
Natiya shook her fist unhappily: "Why are there so many idiots in this world who are overestimating their abilities?"
Natiya came to this world two years earlier than Xinsheng and has gradually adapted to the rules and customs of this world.
From her complaints, we can tell that Natiya has encountered many similar events during her adventure.
‘I’m afraid, it’s not that simple.’
Xin Sheng activated Hawkeye technique and included the entire village in the surveillance scope.
There are several life reactions gathered in the largest house in the village, one of which is particularly eye-catching.
In this poor village where people generally have no food, Xin Sheng only saw such a fat man.
‘The village chief?’
No matter what the fat village chief wanted to do, Xin Sheng was too lazy to explore in detail. Anyway, what he should do in this small village has already been done.
Ignoring the few green-skinned scoundrels who were lying on the ground, Xin Sheng and Natiya rolled over and left the village along the dilapidated dirt road.
"Tsk! Running so fast."
The village chief with a fat face smacked his lips unhappily: "Wait a little longer and our reinforcements will arrive."
"Take those shameful guys back, the distinguished guest is about to bring them, don't let these idiots get angry."
...
On the way south to Goswellen, Natiya looked at Xin Sheng who was in confusion.
"Xin, what are you thinking?"
"Um?"
Awakened by Natiya's inquiry, Xin Sheng rubbed his eyebrows.
"I was wondering why Redania chose to let the soldiers quietly cross the Ponta River at this time."
The Ponta River is the dividing line between the border between Taimolia and Redania. Because the river basin is too long, it is impossible for both sides to deploy their already stretched forces on the border.
The Kingdom of Sintra in southern Temolia has long been captured and has now become a bridgehead for the Nifgad Empire to continue to invade the Northern Kingdom.
At this time, most of the troops were concentrated in the southern part of Taimolia and the central part of the Kingdom of Aden to block the attempt of the Kingdom of Niphgad to continue its march.
Even if the enemy is in front of us, the four northern countries are still calculating each other.
The Kingdom of Codwin and the Kingdom of Aden have had border territorial disputes since many years ago.
After Lower Aden was captured by the Niphgad Empire, King Hensette of Codwin saw the opportunity and was secretly mobilizing troops to invade the disputed territory of Pontal River, trying to completely merge the Kingdom of Aden into Codwin's territory.
Codwin is located in a bitter and cold place, but its land area is the largest among the four northern countries, second only to the Nifgad Empire in the south.
Compared with Redania and Temolia, where civilization development is more balanced, Kodwin's reputation is not very good among the countries on the mainland.
Many people think this is a country led by bandit leaders, and King Hensette is also recognized as lacking a view of the overall situation and only looking at immediate interests.
By contrast, Redania, who is currently in charge of the Regents' Committee, is more mature and persistent.
Xin Sheng couldn't understand why the old fox in Redania used small tricks to invade the border of Termolia at this time.
"Could it be that there is any benefit that Redania is worthy of the coveted interests of the Willen area?"
After Vizmir II was assassinated, Redalia was temporarily in chaos.
The young Radovid V is considered to have no ability to control the country independently. The regent committee was formed by the court sorcerer Philippa Ehart and the kingdom's important minister Dikoscher, to temporarily manage state affairs.
The two of them will not mention their intrigue and grudges, but at least in terms of external affairs, they always maintain a consistent attitude.
"The Weiren area deserves the benefits that Redania intervenes in an unofficial form to seize...Aretusa College?"
In 1270, Radovid V, who hated the warlock deeply, did not hold power, and the witch hunting operation had not yet reached the most critical stage. The Aritusa Academy still retains a large number of precious classics passed down from ancient times.
"Phyriba Ehart, the court sorcerer...I probably understand."
Before Radovid V took power, Philipba Ehart could be said to have reached the pinnacle of power as a warlock.
As long as she can kick Dikosch away successfully, she can even usurp the throne and become the queen.
Considering that warlocks can use spells to extend their lifespan, once they have power, Philiba is likely to continue to be strong for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years.
At this point, Philiba had nothing but two things to ask for.
Greater power and stronger power.
The ancient classics preserved by Aritusa Academy may make Philiba stronger and last longer.
"Tsk~ It's really troublesome."
Xin Sheng scratched his head irritably: "I just want to find someone, and I don't want to be involved in the messy political struggle."
