Chapter 2: Disaster, the first appearance (10)

After the village chief finished speaking, not only the priest expressed his dissatisfaction on the spot, but other wealthy villagers also refused to buy it.Gaston, the 42-year-old blacksmith, simply pointed to Barre Gaspar’s nose and scolded him, "This is not okay, it’s not okay, do you want us to wait for death at home?"

These words spoke out the heart of the young Albert, and made him feel very good about the grumpy old widower.On the other hand, although Barre Gaspar was pointed at his nose and yelled at him, he didn't panic or get annoyed. Instead, he smiled confidently.

"Definitely not be trapped in the village." The village chief buttoned his beret back on his head, bowed first to the villagers watching the excitement, and then changed his tone of voice when facing the tax collector, and said flatly to the big guy:

"How could I forget my duty? How could I have a vegetarian meal? Please believe that I am the village head of the village assembly. The only duty in this life is to serve the village of Noblewa. I went to Kotweimel with nothing to help. It’s really wrong, but we can change our strategy. I sincerely pray to you, and hope that my friends and relatives in the village can give me an opportunity to boldly express my ideas..."

Barre Gaspar rarely said soft words like "give a chance".Since he put his posture so low, the people in the village are not good at singing the opposite stage publicly. Even Gaston, who yelled before, temporarily closed his mouth this time and heard the last with a black face.

However, their concessions will end here.When the village chief finished explaining his ideas, the blacksmith immediately brought other wealthy villagers and spoke in succession like an organ cannon; the spectators on the roof also clapped and shouted, unceremoniously provoking Barre Gaspar. Something wrong.

Emil Pan will naturally not be absent from such a lively event.However, this time the village priest was uncharacteristically. He didn't hold back with the village chief, but took the initiative to help maintain order:

When the blacksmith, the miller, and others argued with the village chief, he waved the Great Sutra several times and asked them to "calm down! Don't spit foul language in front of the one above!"; when the spectators' voices were high, he also held up the rosary , Asking everyone to "be quiet! Be quiet! This is discussing the fate of Noblewa village, the fate of all of us!"

Although the priest's words are a bit exaggerated, they are basically in line with the facts.However, the discussion of determining the fate of the village did not last for several weeks like the election of the pope-emperor, and the conclusion was reached in only twenty minutes.Both Barre Gaspar and the leading figures in the village made many concessions in the end. Except for the overly excited blacksmith Gaston, everyone else recognized the final agreement.

There are three agreements in total, two of which are about the village of Noblewa.First of all, the number of night watchmen at night has to be tripled, and the fence must be reinforced with sticks, stones, mud and other materials. At least not as it is now that an adult man pushes it down.Secondly, no matter rich or poor, everyone has to contribute their hidden weapons and armors, use whatever they can use for themselves, and hand it over to other men if they can’t bear the weight. At least three armed village protection teams must be pooled in Linlin. Patrol in shifts around the border and riverside.

The equipment of the village protection team is a big deal.The head of the village and the wealthy villagers held their fingers together and counted twice. They also asked a lot of people from the spectators to help them.According to them, the entire Noblewa village can probably make up two sets of lock armor, two sets of formal leather armor made of boiled leather, and three sets of flax-filled soft armor for the night watchman.

The chain and leather armor were picked up from the battlefield by the ancestors of the villagers when the British-Granian bandits invaded.The chain armor has not been professionally maintained for many years (put the iron armor into a wooden bucket half full of sand and repeatedly push it down from a height), and it has long been rusted blood red and blood red; although the leather armor was made with antiseptic treatment, it was left unused for too long. Nothing was left, such as moldy hairs, insect bites and rat bites.

The soft linen armor of the night watchman is used every day.This kind of protective gear does not need to be cleaned. The more dirt and greasy accumulate, the better the protective effect.The few stuffed armors in Noblewa Village have no problem blocking the hunting bows of the orc scouts. The shotguns of the muskets can barely be prevented, but the soft armor is only soft armor after all. If it is against the single-headed lead bullet, steel Military ammunition such as crossbow arrows and matchlock lead bullets are basically the same as a piece of thin paper

There is no shortage of people in the village.Two-thirds of the family have a long-handled scythe, and a wood-chopping axe is a must-have for every household. There is no problem with using it to smash the bandits.The village can also find several serious long swords. They were either picked up on the battlefield or obtained by various means when the people went south. If they were placed a few decades ago, they would definitely be silver shining and sharp. Unmatched, chopping goblins, orc heads are like chopping melons and vegetables.

But this is a long time ago.The long swords in the village are between 120 and 40 years old, and they have been kept at home by wealthy farmers.Just like the two sets of iron armor, they are also invisible for many years, except for occasional oiling, there is basically no daily maintenance.In the current state of these weapons, let alone human beings wearing armor, kappa with a hard shell, I'm afraid they don't want to chop.

In the entire Noblewa village, the blacksmith Gaston is probably the one who knows these equipment best.After reaching an agreement with the village chief, he was not polite at all, and all kinds of ugly words were pouring out, like dumping wheat into the measuring tool of a tax collector.

Gaston said that he is willing to bring a little apprentice (ie Jorge Lumont, who is now at home to help take care of the little girl), and he is repairing his armor and sharpening his weapons day and night.But he was just a mortal, not a hereditary mage, and couldn't turn the rags in the village into a magic weapon."I can only let the boys have rusty clothes on their bodies and rusty needles in their hands." At the end of the talk, Gaston simply sat cross-legged on the ground, even removing the blacksmith's leather apron:

"If you want to save the village, you have to rely on decent soldiers. It's up to you!"

His "you" refers to the petition team that is about to go to Kotweimel.However, most of this team are not local top figures, and the village priest and the village chief are absent together.

Emile Penn was only interested in New Poitiers, and the countryside like Cotvemel was completely ignored.After the agreement was reached, in front of all the spectators, he openly claimed that he would not go anywhere and would still stay at Nobleva as before.

"I will pray day and night for the souls of the villagers," said the priest in the village with a pious face, no worse than the one on the cross:
