♂ , There are rebels tossing inside, and strong enemies outside making trouble, this is already a headache for a male lord, not to mention that at this time, in addition to the orcs on the endless plateau in the south, and even the half-orc races such as pig-headed people and sheep-headed people on the centaur hills in the north, they also quickly went south to join this gluttonous feast of killing, becoming the biggest-stirring stick in this chaotic war.In this way, Zigra was in chaos in the north, and rotten in the south.Even the king, who was known as "two million citizens and two million proud soldiers", was lost.Those high-ranking officials and nobles who are usually high up are not as good as the civilians they despise, and the civilians who are captured are at most slaves of the orcs, and those who can't carry the waste on their shoulders can only be turned into orc military rations, even if the occasional brave man comes forward, but it quickly disappears into the boiling river like the ice floes that flow through the great river of the Principality of Canter.Yes, the river does not freeze even during the coldest months of the region.Ironically, when Zigra IX decided to blow up the embankment to open up the ancient river channel that had returned to 300 years ago, it was to stop the kingdom of Rolando, but now the river has become a natural shield to prevent the orcs from advancing eastward.In the surging river, countless refugees, called all kinds of boats, drifted with the waves.Some of them were able to call them regular wooden boats, some of them used the wooden method of tying trees developed on the west bank of the river, and some simply made a large enough piece of black devil granite to cross the river.The river is turbulent, and all kinds of fierce aquatic monsters loom in the river.Large and small ice floes also rise and fall with the river.This river is not one of the rivers in the Kingdom of Zigra that has long been tamed by the locals.Whether it is encountering hungry aquatic monsters or accidentally loading auxiliaries from time to time, it is inevitable that the ship will be destroyed and people will die.Even if you get away with it, or if the boat ride is strong enough.But as long as the people's bodies and clothes above are soaked by the cold and biting river water, and they are put on in the lack of space, I am afraid that they will inevitably freeze quickly, and become corpses as hard as the ice floe in the riverThe river is located at the junction of the territory of Reims and the territory of Gronholm, an inconspicuous ebony boat, Thomas Wesley is still standing straight in the bow.That's right, this person is the same Thomas who won a Baron of Zigra for Ciri half a year ago.In the past six months, Ciri has been on a steady journey in the army, from a mercenary to a count lord who commands a large territory.But Thomas fled from Betnes in fear from that day, and he and his family have been living a life of exile for more than ten months.The money was spent, and he had to be forced to be a bandit and robber, surrounded and suppressed by the lords, and hacked by other bandit gangs.It was easy to save some money to form a mercenary group, but Zigra died again and regretted helping Ciri, and put himself in it Thomas didn't know, he admitted that he was indeed impulsive that day in the main hall, but what happened next proved that he didn't help Cieri when he had the opportunity, and the territory that originally belonged to him was not kept.In fact, from the moment he left his territory town with three teams, his robber neighbors directly occupied his castle, and his women and children escaped safely with the help of several loyal butlers.The encroachment on his territory was premeditated, and it was definitely acquiesced by Zigra IX, otherwise those lords would never dare to be so rampant now, and he would have taken revenge.Orcs are not as filthy as humans, and the handling of captives is simple.If you are a hero, kill it and make it a military ration.Those who are not inaugurated heroes and are physically strong, become slaves.As for the so-called noble human beings, there are just a few more pieces of tender fat on the dinner plate, and that's it, the loud sound of the ice floe hitting the ship, and the screams of despair and cries for help.Raising their heads, the unfortunate ship was hovering in the river not far from their feet, and if it had just been uploaded, of course Thomas would have come to the rescue.But now the mouth that had just opened was helplessly closed again.The Duchy of Canter borders the fallen Kingdom of Zigra only in the northwest.However, since they got on the ship, they have passed through the Zhenxi Territory, the Pete Territory, the Reims Territory, and the Gronholm Territory.During this period, not to mention the small fishing villages that fed by the river, there were as many as six large towns and cities that passed through, and however, the soldiers of those territories without exception drove all of them, who had fled, to Dress.Reason, Thomas already knows.For the refugees of the original Kingdom of Zigra, at the beginning, the lords of several territories still had the idea that the more the merrier.After all, although most of these people are ordinary people, there are also many wealthy people and craftsmen with special talents.Soon, however, they discovered that there were too many refugees from the northwest of the river.Continuing to let those refugees pour in, the security hazard to the territory is still a trivial matter, the key is that everyone does not have the habit of storing a large amount of food, once this problem occurs, they will not be able to eat and walk around Obviously, Thomas is also facing such a problem at present.Although, he is only a mercenary group chapter now, and he may recruit a few more people for the mercenary group, which is also a great thing.But when he got on the boat, it was not so strong, and if something happened, then even if he could get away with it, he would probably lose the capital to turn over forever."
Don't blame me, blame me, just that Zigra IX, blame it, blame those murderous orcs."
Looking at the man struggling in the icy water, Thomas could only comfort himself like this.Coincidentally, his eldest daughter, Lily, who was only twelve years old, couldn't help but let out a childish sigh."
Oh, it's so miserable, Father, can't we lend a hand like those poor people, you see, our shipwright's skill at the helm is so high.""
But the ship is bigger than the one we sat on," Thomas lovingly stroked his daughter's hair.Reluctantly found a reason to appease his daughter."
On that ship is a noble father, aren't we also nobles," Lily cried out in a coquettish voice, looking up at her little face.It's a pity that she is destined to not get an answer to this question.Because her father Thomas could not have told her that they were no longer nobles, and could only go with the flow like ordinary people who had little money.Pity, this bibi is so capital of its own, but now, they are just a group of wandering mercenary groups that have no fixed station, that's all,,; mobile phone reading,
