Kevin stayed up almost all night. He was constantly wrestling with whether to run away or stay and fight against the lord's army with everyone.
In the end, he decided to stay and advance and retreat together with everyone.
Kevin is almost certain that Lord's Manor will send troops to suppress them. It is just a matter of time.
After everyone agreed to start "negotiations" with the lord yesterday, although they were quite confident in their own strength, they also knew that the next struggle would not be that easy.
In order to give themselves a greater advantage, they stationed themselves at Faber Village, because there were no decent defensive buildings in their own village, and the fortresses used to resist the pirates were demolished after the pirates were destroyed.
The only defensive building they can find now is Baden Family's mansion, which is simply a small castle.
In order to prevent their relatives who were still at home from being implicated, they sent people back to the village overnight to notify them, asking the remaining people to hide in nearby forests or cliff caves on the seaside for a few days. Before the new lord succeeded to the throne, when the village learned that pirates were coming, they did this.
The smell of barbecue came from below the tower, and the yard began to be filled with laughter and laughter. After Baden ran away, his cattle, sheep and other livestock were naturally taken over by the villagers, so they slaughtered pigs and sheep, giving the people who could not eat meat a few times a year a feast.
But Kevin has no appetite. He always feels that something bad will happen soon.
At dawn, he took the initiative to take over the task of guarding and stayed at the highest point of the tower without coming down. It was not until someone came up to bring him bread that he hurriedly took a few bites.
With nearly a thousand people gathered, they should... maybe... have some chance of winning? Kevin has hypnotized himself more than once. Since he decided to stay and advance and retreat together with everyone, he must give himself some hope.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, what Kevin was worried about finally happened, and a team appeared in his field of vision.
He almost immediately determined that this was the lord's army. Kevin, who often ran to Franklin Harbor, had seen the sailors' drills, tight formations, and uniform steps. No long-term training would definitely produce this effect.
"Clang clang clang!"
Kevin immediately rang the bell on the tower, which was the alarm signal agreed upon by everyone.
The constantly reverberating bells immediately caused chaos in the yard. Although the villagers were mentally prepared for a confrontation with the lord's army, when the incident came to an end, fear still tightly gripped their hearts.
"Don't panic, stay in your place!"
"Hold your weapons and stay calm!"
"We are strong, we are invincible!"
The "commanders" who were hastily selected last night continued to encourage their subordinates, although they were also drumming in their hearts.
After a long period of turmoil, the whole courtyard became slightly quieter. Everyone stood on the wall and watched the troops outside in silence.
At this time, the opponent had already formed a neat line in front of the gate of the mansion.
"Master Knight, you must make the decision for us."
"Hang those Rioterss and help us regain our property."
Several wealthy households from Faber Village surrounded Quirk, crying to him with runny noses and tears.
The actions of the Kevin group of outsiders inspired some bold local people in Faber Village, but they could only make mistakes after entering the Baden mansion. Once people's emotions are aroused, it will be difficult to calm down. These unsatisfied people turned to other wealthy households in the village.
Fearing retaliation, these fishermen now joined the resistance in the mansion.
"Okay everyone, the lord will definitely give you a fair decision."
Quirk Let people "invite" these wealthy households away.
Then let Soldiers, who has a loud voice, hold up a loudspeaker and shout to the people on the wall, "This is an ultimatum from the Lord's Manor. The people inside immediately put down their weapons and surrender, and accept the judgment of the lord, otherwise we will deal with you the same way we deal with the enemy!"
The man on the wall responded, "We want to talk to the lord, and there are some conditions that we hope he can agree to."
What? These rioters still want to negotiate terms with the Lord's Manor? Several naval officers were happy.
"We repeat it again, surrender immediately and unconditionally!"
"We will not leave here until the lord agrees to us. Please send someone who can talk to us to come in and talk to us. We promise not to hurt him."
Captain Quirk frowned and remained silent. He remembered his life creed when he was a pirate.
Seeing the captain wandering away, the first mate coughed loudly and said, "Captain, the rebels have rejected the ultimatum, and we can attack. Soldiers We are all ready, and no ambush was found after investigation."
"Huh? Oh!"
Quirk came to his senses, and then he shouted as if he had made up his mind, "Attack!"
The navy Soldierss lined up in a horizontal line stepped forward and walked towards the Baden Family wall. They also carried ladders to easily climb the two-meter-high courtyard wall.
This also includes Kevin Alfred who is the Navy Officer Candidate and others. The superiors feel that it is time for these children to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. It is a good opportunity to suppress the rioters with low combat effectiveness.
"Why don't you surrender? Why don't you surrender?"
Although his steps were firm, the young candidate was conflicted in his heart at the moment. Allen himself was born in a family of salt people, so rather than saying that the salt people were resisting taxes and revolting, he believed more that these salt people were being exploited by the landlords and had to fight.
Having been exposed to salt cooking since childhood, he naturally knew how much impact the emergence of salt farms would have on the traditional salt cooking industry.
However, the obedience he had learned through long-term training made him still choose to follow orders and attack the salt people.
The people on the wall suddenly became confused when they saw that the army ignored their requests and came towards them in an offensive posture.
"Why are you panicking? Didn't you see that they only have 100 people? Our number is several times theirs."
The "commanders" loudly reminded their companions.
"Hit them with slings!"
"Slash them with your sword!"
Scattered rocks were shot at the navy Soldiers, and many of them were hit.
The officers were very sorry. If they hadn't wanted to get to the scene of the riot as quickly as possible, they would have dragged Artillery over. It didn't take too many shots, just a few shots to destroy the broken wall in front.
"Spread out and run forward!"
The opposite side was just a ragtag group of people, keeping a tight formation.
The hit rate of the sling suddenly dropped to almost zero. The sailors quickly approached the courtyard wall by running. The first Soldiers and Volley Fire arrived so hard that the people on the wall did not dare to come forward. The people behind lit Hand Grenade and threw them into the courtyard. After explosions and screams were heard from inside, the sailors climbed up the wall like a stack of arhats without waiting for the ladder to arrive.
The battle ended soon...
