Chapter 545: Harboring Throughout the spring of the Twenty Years of the Empire, as is customary, a war between light and darkness raged and ended silently in the area where Belaku was connected to the Inner Realm.
However, unlike a few years ago, the entire border between Belaku and the Inner Regions is full of war, killing and death is the only note in this area, and the driving force for killing is no longer to defend their homeland or believe in light and darkness.
Hatred, just hatred, the continuous wars have brought great pain to the people of both countries, but also to them hatred that cannot be erased.
As a result of the fertility encouragement policies implemented by the lords over the years, almost every family had at least three or more adult males, who were inevitably recruited into the army during the war, and very few were able to return to their hometowns after the bitter war.
The son avenges his father, the younger brother avenges his brother, and the hatred drives people to kill incessantly, and no one can stop again under this constant cycle of power like a curse.
At the end of spring and the summer solstice, on a flat wasteland, this land is now full of gunsmoke, the army of the dark country and the army of the country of light have just had an encounter here, after the two sides left nearly a thousand corpses here, the light side successfully dispersed the army of the dark side.
There are still many wounded alive on the battlefield who are lying on the ground moaning, and those bright soldiers with white crosses on their armor are patrolling the battlefield with long swords.
As the loser, the Dark Soldier will naturally be killed mercilessly.
If the soldiers on the same side of the light side are not seriously injured, their companions will bandage them on the spot and carry them onto the vehicle, and these lucky guys will be sent to the field hospital in the rear, and when they recover from their injuries, this year's war will probably be over.
As for the severely injured soldiers of light, their companions will silently find their strongest swordsmanship companions, the strongest swordsmanship companions, and be able to end their companions' lives with the most rapid means, so that their companions will suffer much less pain.
The other soldiers of the Light would reverently perform a send-off ceremony for their companions after taking out the canon with the emblem of the Gods of Light, and although they did not know that their gods had not yet established a kingdom, they still believed that the souls of their companions would always be with the Light.
The power of faith allows people to be calm about life and death, even if their death is worthless.
At the same time, in a small village dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, a team of light knights appeared in the village, and they chased the dark knights who had just been defeated and fled for dozens of kilometers, but near this village, the light knights lost the traces of those guys.
"Did you see the Dark Knight pass by here today?"
When the chief of the village came out of the village, the Knight of Light, who was sitting on a tall hornetail, asked.
"My lord, there are young people in our village who are getting married today, and everyone is celebrating them in the village, so I don't know if there are people outside......"
The village chief, who was about fifty years old, looked like a very smooth guy, and the humble attitude shown by this somewhat short village chief in front of the Light Knight made him and the young and heroic Light Knight look like mud.
"I see, I'd love to believe you, but out of duty we have to go in and search, please get out of the way and let us in."
The Knight of Light looked past the neatly dressed villagers and saw a pair of young men and women dressed in special clothes, although the young man looked a little afraid of the Knights of Light who had just come down from the battlefield and were full of evil spirits, but he still dutifully blocked the girl in the beige dress.
"This is as it should be, please feel free to check it, my lord."
The village chief, who nodded and bowed, touched the sweat on his forehead, and beckoned the villagers to get out of the way of the village gate, and then the knights of light didn't even get off their horses, so they let the wildebeest slowly enter the village.
The small village is very dilapidated due to the baptism of war for many years, and the light knights have searched carefully in the village, but they have not found the whereabouts of those dark knights, and the wildebeest ridden by those dark knights is obviously not easy to hide, it seems that these dark knights are indeed not here.
Without finding any trace of the Dark Knight, it was naturally impossible for the Light Knights to stay in the village for a long time, so they immediately left the village and continued to pursue in the direction in which the Dark Knights had left their last traces.
After the knights of light had gone away, the villagers who were still watching from the entrance of the village breathed a sigh of relief, and then the villagers returned to the village and locked the gate, and then in a warehouse for stacking hay, the villagers worked together to remove the hay bales and open a door to the ground.
"Who is it!?"
A harsh voice came from underground.
"My lord, those knights of light are far away."
The village elder shouted in a voice that was even more humble than before.
"Phew, finally got rid of these damn guys, I really didn't expect us to be so unlucky to run into enemies twice as big as ours."
The young knight in black armor swaggered out of the ground, grumbling loudly as he walked.
Behind him, dozens of dark knights who were also dressed in the same clothes also led their mounts out of the ground, and it could be seen from these endless streams of knights and wildebeest that the hidden underground space in the village seemed to be very huge.
"Old fellow, thanks to you digging such a large bomb shelter, if we didn't have this thing today, I'm afraid we would have been killed by those guys, since we have received your favor, we will naturally give you benefits, and when we go back, we will have people send thank-you gifts."
The leader of the Dark Knights slapped the village chief on the shoulder with his sharp-spiked glove.
The village chief, on the other hand, was sweating profusely, bearing the danger of the gloves that might hurt him at any time, and did not dare to dodge in the slightest.
"My lord, we are going to have a wedding for two young people today, and those light knights are likely to return if they can't catch up with you, we countrymen don't want any thanks, do you think you should go to a safe place as soon as possible......"
The village chief was really relieved after hearing the other party say that he wanted a thank you, but he didn't dare to have anything to do with the dark knight, so he immediately asked the dark knight to leave as soon as possible.
"What?
Old guy, you think we're in trouble and want us to get out of the way as soon as possible!?
Do you think we're the right thing to command?
After hearing the village chief's words, the dark knight's face immediately became angry, and then the trembling village chief was slapped and flew out.
Blood flowed from the forehead and the corners of the mouth of the village chief who fell to the ground, and the other villagers were even more frightened by the fierce black knights after seeing the village chief fall to the ground and not getting up for a long time.
Subsequently, under the pressure of the swords of these dark knights, the villagers had to bring out the food that was originally used for the wedding feast in advance.
The Dark Knights, who hadn't eaten anything from morning to afternoon, immediately let go of their stomachs and munched on the food when they saw it.
The original food for two hundred people was quickly eaten up by dozens of dark knights, many of whom were extremely picky and wasteful when eating from noble backgrounds, but the villagers could only dare to watch the meal they had prepared for half a month being easily squandered, and at the same time they had to listen to those dark knights constantly complain about the simplicity and unpalatable ingredients, which made the villagers angry with the dark knights more and more intense.
Originally, the villagers thought that after letting these plague stars eat, they would leave as soon as possible, but no one expected that a dark knight wandering around the village actually discovered the wine cellar in the village, and in the cheers of the dark knight, a large amount of fruit wine made from wild fruits was carried out, and then naturally there was a burst of unrestrained drinking.

At this time, the village chief, who had been knocked unconscious before, also woke up, although the village chief looked weak, but he still tried his best to get close to the small hall that was originally used for weddings and was now occupied by the dark knights.
"It's not good, how can they find the wine cellar, go and tell the young girls in the village to hide, otherwise something big will happen!"
The old village chief, of course, knows what happens after drinking, and the reason why he was able to become the village chief and have been there for more than 20 years is because he used to go out when he was young, and he is used to seeing all kinds of human darkness.
Slippery and patient, is the way of survival in this village, but no one expected that after the end of spring, a team of dark knights appeared in the village.
The village chief's orders have always been correct, so the villagers began to quietly drive their own women back, but something happened eventually, and the bride was forcibly detained by the Dark Knight when she sneaked into the auditorium in order to retrieve what she had left in the auditorium.
Although the Dark Knights have not done anything irreparable, the morality of these people who advocate indulgence is completely different from that of ordinary villagers, and some frivolity is inevitable, and the bride, who has never been out of the village with a pure nature, cried out in grief and anger after being treated with indifference.
"Slut!
Shame on the face!
Finally, after being provoked by the disobedient bride, a black knight pushed the bride to the ground, and the sound of tearing cloth from the hall afterwards made the villagers very sad and angry, the young man who was supposed to be the groom had been erected by several villagers at this time, and if this young man was allowed to rush in, then the village would probably have a funeral today.
Just when all the villagers were in despair, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind them, and the silver glittered in the sunlight, and they rushed quickly towards the center of the village from far and near.
