Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 56 I, who should have performed with you

   "Who is this?"

"do not know."

David glanced at Sharon who was slowly running to her side and Peggy who was not far away from her. After the two gradually adapted to the life in the village, they would get up and run every morning, sometimes alone, sometimes alone. Run together faster than anyone else.

  However, today's game was interrupted by such a sudden episode. Both Sharon and Peggy went to the corpse and inspected it roughly.

   "There are many wounds on the body, but they are all skin trauma." Sharon quickly came to a conclusion: "The cause of death was a severe blow to the back of the head."

   After Peggy nodded in agreement, she got up and looked at David: "Is this not someone from the village? I mean, is there anyone in Cold Winter Village who just didn't live in the village recently, so I don't know them."

   "You have seen all the villagers in Lindong Village." With Peggy's memory, it is impossible not to recognize the people she has seen. These days living in the village, she has already remembered everyone.

  Sharon did the same. She checked for a while and looked at the clothes on the corpse: "It looks like an ordinary farmer, but this person's hands don't look like those of people who usually do farm work. They are well maintained."

   "This person should be a thief." David pouted. He already guessed where this person came from and why he appeared here: "It's really a trick with no technical content."

   Walking to the corpse, David easily lifted the corpse up. With the continuous growth of strength, it is no longer difficult for him to mention individuals.

  Especially in the past few days, he feels that his physical fitness has increased significantly. It should be the reward he received from Fording a few days ago. He suspects that he has obtained the physical fitness, or physical potential of the Azerothian race.

   In a sense, he has obtained a body of steel, although it is a degraded version.

   "Go back to the village first, I guess there will be visitors coming soon."

   This is really not a new strategy, nor complicated, and it is easy to see through. Wanting to use this kind of strategy highlights one point of shamelessness, and another point is that the party who has been framed is weak in strength.

  Shameless, David guessed that the other party should have it; as for whether he is in a weak position? This is worth talking about.

  Back to the village, David first went to Will.

   "What's the matter?" Will noticed a 'person' in David's hand at a glance: "Who is this? A spy sent by the enemy?"

   "It's just a tool for framing." David threw it aside casually: "I can only trouble you to go back to Port Royal."

   "You want me to dump this guy's… body in Port Royal?"

"Yes, take it with you right away. You can throw it into the sea or hide it temporarily. I guess those people will come soon." David didn't want to waste time, and after explaining to Will, he went straight back to his wooden house .

   Changed his clothes, hung a holster on his waist, and David inserted his favorite Fury Hunter into it.

   Among the various weapons Laura sent to the village, his favorite is this revolver, and the .44 caliber Magnum bullet is enough for most situations.

  Although after the battle with the troll, he considered customizing a special pistol? Later, because I had to deal with various things non-stop, I put this matter aside and didn't think about it.

  However, this firepower is enough to deal with ordinary humans.

He didn't bring any other weapons, and went straight out of the wooden house, turned his head to look at the blacksmith shop, Will and the corpse had disappeared, no matter what Will will do with the corpse in the end, anyway, the corpse is not in Winter Village now .

   Came to the chair by the long table and sat down. David faced the east of the village in this way, preparing to wait for the 'enemy' to appear here.

"Who could it be? Sean Forrest? As a descendant of a great nobleman, he probably wouldn't show up for such a small matter." David felt that the person who came to Cold Winter Village to make trouble in the end was most likely the old acquaintance Gerry High profits. After finally becoming a knight of the Forrester family, he definitely wants to make some achievements, let his master recognize his ability to handle affairs, and thus gain a broader future.

  He was waiting here in a daze. Sharon and Peggy also changed their clothes and sat beside David.

  When Peggy came to Cold Winter Village, she was wearing her own battle uniform, which was originally designed and made for fighting, and it was just right to wear at this time.

  In addition to the round shield with the Union Jack pattern and the long sword brought from the Hydra headquarters, Peggy is now a standard sword and shield configuration.

In comparison, Sharon's attire is much simpler, just ordinary clothes and trousers that are easy to move around, with a pair of sneakers on her feet, a wooden shield in her hand, and a long sword from the weapons Maloni gave her at the beginning. .

   "Can you use a long sword?"

"Although I prefer to use long spears, I am also good at long swords." In addition to her extraordinary talent, Sharon also has an excellent "educational environment". In addition to hot weapons, all kinds of cold weapons are also very good, but she prefers the combination of spears and shields.

   Turned his head and glanced at David, up and down, back and forth, only saw a revolver, other than that, there was nothing like a weapon on David: "You only carry a pistol?"

  Although David said that he is better at fighting with bare hands, and Sharon has personally experienced David's strength in fighting with bare hands, but this seems to lack deterrence.

   "One gun is enough."

  David stood up. He felt that the possibility of real action this time was not high, and there was a high probability that it would be a spat, especially now that he had already 'cleaned up' the corpse.

   "The villain has come."

   Several figures appeared in the distance. These people were all riding horses. With the gradually rising sun, these people had obvious reflections.

   "All of them are wearing armor, so fully armed, do you really think that only one pistol is enough?"

   "..."

  David, who was ridiculed by Sharon, said firmly that "enough is enough". Anyway, he mainly relied on the Holy Light when he really started.

  After a few conversations, a group of knights had already arrived in front of David and the others. The knights reined in their horses, and the leader was indeed an acquaintance of David.

   "The Gregorian Knight."

   "Major David."

  Under the seemingly warm greeting, there is no longer any acquaintance, but full of alienation.

"I didn't expect to see the Gregory knight again so soon. I don't know where the Gregory knight is taking these elites. Where are they going?" David quickly glanced over the people beside Gregory. However, apart from Gregory, there were five fully armed cavalrymen.

  When Maloney came to Lindong Village for field inspection, he just brought five elite colleagues to protect him. David also saw with his own eyes how amazing the fighting power of these elite soldiers of Iron Tree Fort is.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is only one fully armed cavalry, it is very easy to slaughter a village like Lindong Village with only a dozen people. Now the knight Gregory led a full five cavalry, no wonder The opponent feels that they have an absolute advantage in strength.

"Village Chief David should know that Master Forrester is building a new border town not far from here. As a result, two villagers were found missing a few days ago. Master Forrester attaches great importance to this and expresses absolute I can't let the villagers under my management encounter any accidents, and ordered me to lead a few people out to find these two villagers... Village Chief David, have you seen anyone?"

   "Our Winter Village is located in a remote place, and usually no outsiders come here at all." David had a business smile all over his face, and faced with Gregory sitting high on the horse, his heart suddenly jumped: Two people?

  The bad premonition immediately became a reality, and without giving David much time to think, a figure rushed out from the north of the few people, that is, the direction of the forest, and rushed towards the crowd.

   "Master Gregory Knight, help!"

  Although it sounds pitiful, it is full of energy, and everyone can hear it clearly from a long distance away. What this person shouts can even be heard throughout the entire Lindong Village, comparable to a loudspeaker at the entrance of the village.

"Help me, Carney and I were raped here by this man named David, who forced us to reclaim wasteland for him. If we don't agree, we will be beaten severely. I finally found a chance to run out of the village and want to go back. Help, I didn't expect to see Sir Knight here..."

He roared and ran wildly, and he had already run a long distance in the blink of an eye, howling and threw himself beside Gregory. Although he threw up a large amount of dust, he still couldn't stop him from performing hard. .

   "My lord has to make the decision for me ah ah ah..."

   "..."

  David can no longer maintain his business smile. He really wants to complain about this guy's exaggerated acting skills, and he looks like he has been abused.

   Sighed, he still underestimated how shameless his opponent was.

   Someone tapped twice on the shoulder, this direction should be Sharon. Then Sharon asked him in a low voice, "Shouldn't we bring that corpse back?"

  "If he doesn't move back, he will say that the two of them ran out together, but the one who was seriously injured died as soon as he escaped."

   Peggy on the other side also came to her side at this time: "It seems that there is no way to be good? The opponent seems to be bound to win."

"I think so too." While talking to the two super soldiers, David looked at the absurd farce in front of him: the guy who didn't know his name was crying loudly about the inhuman treatment he had received. After howling for a long time without even a drop of tears, the acting skills are really bad.

   "Master Gregory Knight."

  "Village Chief David." He waved his hand to signal the people beside him to shut up first. The big man seemed to have been pressed on the mute button, and there was no movement in an instant: "Do you have anything to deny these charges?"

   Opening his mouth is already a denial, and David knows that there is nothing to talk about.

   "No, I just want to say, have a good journey!"

boom!
