Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 247 - The Village under Siege

Chapter 247 The Village under Siege

This tattooed bald man should be the head of the knights.
Looking up, he noticed the fear in the eyes of the villagers on the wall and he enjoyed it very much with intoxication.
A black knight urged the horse to walk out from his side slowly. The sound of the horse’s hoof was extremely harsh when it stepped on the icy road. He looked up and shouted, “People inside the wall listen to me carefully! Blood Dragon Village is weeding. Within a quarter of an hour, hand over ten virgins and two hundred taels of silver. As the deadline expires, a ruthless mass slaughter will start and even fowls and dogs are not spared.”
The voice like a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.
On the wall.
The villagers finally woke up and they were in a sudden confusion.
In the absence of the village chief, the guarding warrior had also disappeared. Without a backbone, all of them trembled in the face of such fierce bandits.
“We have paid the Protection Fund for the winter, why should we pay it again?” Gao Jian with a long spear in hand was still young and vigorous and he had the encourage that a new-born calf made little of a tiger and shouted.
Whew!
A black awn rose to the sky.
“Er… giggle…” Touching his throat, Gao Jian opened his eyes wider.
The blood flowed down his fingers in succession. A black arrow cluster had ruthlessly pierced his throat and neck. The bloody arrow cluster came out from the back neck, splashed with blood, and the precious life of the young man was taken away.
“If you dare resist again, the whole village will be slaughtered.” The black knight’s cold voice, without any emotion, echoed indistinctly under the wall. “Weeds, you have less than half the time of a stick of incense burning.”
In their eyes, these villagers were weeds harvested by them.
“Boy, boy…” On the wall, Gao Lin was unable to prevent the tragedy, he held Gao Jian still with body temperature, and could not help but weep bitterly with tears.
Just because Gao Jian said one more word, his life was easily lost.
“Elder, what should we do? Why not fight with them?”
“Yes. With the wall, we might resist them!”
“We can’t afford to pay so much money, and we can’t just give our children to these demons helplessly!”
“Yes. If we fight with them and the worst comes to the worst, we might die!”
People surrounded Gao Jian’s body which became cold gradually and their anger was burning.
The initial fear disappeared. As the young people noticed that their playful life companion in the past could never wake up again, their eyes were filled with anger and hatred. They seemed to get their courage back in an instant.
Gao Lin’s turbid and aged eyes slowly passed over the young people’s faces, and his thoughts gradually became clear.
Fight?
With what?
It was doomed to be a massacre.
Living in the troubled times, the weak, in many cases, had to become conscious and could not bear the shame. He was already more than 70 years old, even if he died, it did not matter. But those young faces before him…
They were the blood lineage and hope of Valley Village.
Gao Lin shook his head. As he was to make the final decision, a ruthless voice was heard!
“You still have ten seconds. After ten seconds, no silver is paid and no virgins are offered. The whole village will be bloodied and no chickens or dogs will be spared.” The black knight’s voice was as cold as the mysterious ice and echoed in the snow. “Ten… nine… eight… seven…”
A bloody smell permeated the void.
This voice sounded like a hammer beating on every villager’s heart, which made them become pale and their heart beat wildly.
It seemed that the god of death was counting down against ears.
As the oldest wise man in the village, Gao Lin looked somber and thought of one thing left in the village. He was about to make a difficult decision. but at this moment, he did not know why suddenly he glanced over the mountain road in the south in the distance out of the corner of his eye.
With this glance, suddenly he fixed his eyes on that direction.
Because in the mountain road in the distance, unexpectedly some dozens of small black spots showed up and they were approaching to Valley Village, not fast and not slowly.
Gao Lin’s heart beat vigorously suddenly.
Was the village chief coming back?
It must be the village chief who came back with the hired guarding warrior.
D*mn, why did they come back at this time?
Before the burning time of one stick of incense, all people prayed for the village chief to come back as soon as possible. But now they hoped that the village chief and his fellows did not show up. Even if with 15 taels of silver, the village chief really hired a guarding warrior, but the warrior would not be the match for those more than 30 fierce bandits from Blood Dragon Village and he was courting death.
Gao Lin was trying to do something to warn the village chief and his fellows, but at this moment!
“Neigh…”
A loud and cheerful neigh sound of horses pierced through the wind and snow, and came clearly from a distance.
The black-armored knight was the first to find that the crowd in the distance was approaching.
Gao Lin’s heart became chilled suddenly. It seemed that the village chief and his fellows could not get away from the disaster today. However, what he didn’t think of was…
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
Hearing the horse’s neigh, the horses of the bandits from Blood Dragon Village became restless all of a sudden. Some of them even performed poorly so that they shit and peed unexpectedly. They moaned on the spot, kneeling on the ground with forelegs, so that the orderly team suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Fortunately, knights on horses were very skilled with outstanding strength and they made a quick response.
In the curses of rage, the knights pulled the reins strongly and forced their horses to stand up again.
The bold tattooed giant man’s face changed.
Because he was shocked to find that his half-demon horse Black Wind Beast performed abnormally unexpectedly. It was very frightened. If it weren’t for his quick response, maybe he would make a fool of himself.
It was known that this half-demon horse, Black Wind Beast, was almost classified as the ominous beast and it was very fierce. As the common horse came close to this half-demon horse, the common horse would become frightened with fear. But why the half-demon horse was frightened to behave so badly by other horse’s neigh, it was because…
The bald tattooed giant man looked up and found that a man in a long gown with a white horse was running towards him like a cyclone.
In a twinkling of an eye, the man had arrived.
At this time, they finally saw the knight’s face clearly. It turned out to be a 14 or 15-year-old childish boy, but this young man with outstanding temperament was handsome with sword-shaped eyebrows and pig-bale-shaped nose. The horse he was riding was out of the ordinary. One man and one horse gave people an illusion of powerful momentum.
The bald and tattooed giant man, with his eyes flashing green light, focused all his attention on the young man’s white horse.
“Is that… Lion-dragon Beast of Snow Province?” This giant man had a good eye, and he recognized the blood lineage of the white horse at a glance. A neigh could make the half-demon horse Black Wind Beast feel frightened and uneasy and only the top three in the Horse List in Snow Province had such a capability.
