Chapter 223 Reach
Cammonra held all the power in Gray River Town, and finally forcibly promoted the cultivation of wheat.
No one expected that just this year, the Athens area encountered a slight drought. The barley was not greatly affected, and the wheat harvest was completely poor.
The tenant farmers of the nobles had to give five-sixths of their harvest to the nobles every year, and only kept one-sixth for themselves, which was called Liu Yihan. Even in a good year, the Lu Yi Han people live a very tight life. Now that the wheat harvest is poor, five-sixths of the wheat has to be handed over, and the whole family will starve to death.
Cammonra believed that the poor wheat harvest was caused by the laziness of the tenant farmers, so he collected rent according to last year's amount.
Cammonla's behavior angered some civilians, and they tried to reason with him, but Cammonla was scolded by his father because of the poor wheat harvest. His anger still persisted, and he sent someone to injure civilians. Two civilians died the next day from their injuries.
This move aroused public outrage, and a large number of civilians and tenant farmers in Gray River Town rebelled against Canmonra.
Cammonra invited a bronze warrior, coupled with well-trained private soldiers, but instead used the civilians' refusal to pay the rent as an excuse to kill the civilians and hang more than a dozen corpses on high places to demonstrate.
Many civilians couldn't pay their rent, and they didn't want to stay in Huihe Town to starve to death, so they had to gather together and act as refugees.
The leader of this team, Zacklei, was originally a black iron warrior mercenary with a wealthy family. Seeing that the people in the same town were displaced, he also went to Cammonra to discuss it. In the end, he was injured by the bronze warrior and was also driven out of Gray River town.
As a last resort, Zacklei joined the refugees from the same town, and gathered some refugees from other places, forming a small force, looting everywhere, and was judged as a mob by Athens.
In order to sharpen the students, Plato Academy often cooperates with the Athens City Guards, and regards cleaning up these mobs as a trial content.
But what I didn't expect was that most of the students in this trial were students in the second and third grades. Some refused to take action because the opponent was a poor commoner, and some did not dare to kill. This made the few students who dared to take action isolated. In the end, in the midst of disputes and internal friction, he lost consecutive battles and was driven into the cave by the mob instead.
Most of the fighters lost their weapons, and without the protection of the fighters, mages couldn't cast spells safely, and it was difficult to break out.
Since most of these people are warrior apprentices, even if there are black iron mages and warriors, they have just been promoted. There are no mages to learn the magic of the breadfruit tree, and they can only rely on the water-making technique to support them.
Trapped for several days in a row, those who were injured could not receive medical treatment, and their injuries became more and more serious.
In order to survive, some students cried and said that they were students of Plato Academy. As a result, the mob was not only not afraid, but happy, and prepared to catch everyone and go to Plato Academy for ransom.
Because all the mobs believed that Master Plato was a kind person and would never harm civilians.
The cause of everything is this Huihe Town.
The letter also vaguely mentioned that these mobs would not have been so miserable in the first place, but the land they opened up was affected by a certain legendary battle, which made things worse.
Although they were far away, Su ye's magic eagle eyes could still clearly see the gray-white river, more than half of the houses in the town were dilapidated, and a large number of fields were barren.
At the entrance of the town, several wooden stakes were erected, on which were nailed dead bodies with ragged clothes and decomposed bodies.
A few crows stood on the corpse, pecking vigorously. From time to time, the beaks pulled out the black intestines, and white maggots splashed everywhere.
"These bastards!" Rick's voice squeezed through his teeth.
Su Ye took a deep look at the largest house in the town,
Said: "Let's continue on our way."
After walking for another hour, the team came to the foot of a hill.
From a distance, you can see halfway up the mountain, surrounded by nearly a hundred people.
At the foot of the mountain, there were more than a dozen people, some walking around, and some chatting together.
Approaching the foot of the mountain, the seven of Su ye slowly slowed down.
Eleven people at the foot of the mountain looked over immediately, and then someone signaled to the mountain.
Seven men dismounted from their horses, each holding a weapon.
Suye, Lake, Jimmy and Albert held staffs.
Holt was still holding the big black stick.
Luo Long has a shield in his left arm and a short spear in his right.
Palos held the standard steel spear and sword issued by the school, and she was heroic.
"Suye, what we do is up to you." Holt held the black iron rod nervously.
Several people sighed secretly. Facing the monster, Huot was not nervous, but facing these civilians, Huot was at a loss.
"You just need to stand behind me, and I will solve it. However, for safety, everyone must bless magic. My rock skin has evolved and lasts for a long time. I use it once for everyone. The magic armor can only last for a few days. Minutes, it’s not very effective, continuous use is too wasteful of mana, men don’t need it, women are preferred.”
As Suye said, he calmly added rock skin and magic armor to Palos first.
Palos' skin immediately turned light gray, and a layer of light blue transparent armor appeared on the surface of her body.
The other tablemates had weird eyes, but they were about to face a battle, so they suppressed their inner sarcasm and said nothing.
After blessing all the students with the rock skin, Su ye used it for himself, and then walked towards the eleven people in front.
A group of seven people carefully observed the eleven people.
Eleven people were wearing tattered robes, covered in mud, with holes all over their bodies. One person's clothes looked like pieces of rags were put together, and another person had a big hole in his crotch.
They were sallow and emaciated, their faces covered with dirt, and their hair looked like old hens had just hatched their eggs. Their eyes are extremely strange, most of them are very cloudy, but there is also a little bit of clarity, like a worm with a shiny carapace falling into lard.
These eleven people all held bronze weapons in their hands, or short swords, or short spears and wooden shields, which were as rough as those polished by monkeys.
"Who! What do you want to do!"
At the foot of the mountain, the two sides formed a formation.
The morning light was cold.
Eleven people stared nervously at the seven of Su ye. Their eyes fell on the clothes, magic tools and weapons of Su ye and the others, showing strange expressions. They were obviously terrified, but they were a little contemptuous.
"We are students of Plato Academy, here to save our classmates." Su ye said straight to the point.
Eleven people suddenly relaxed, and several even smiled.
"Students of Plato Academy, we have seen it before." They were laughing and laughing as they spoke, with frivolous expressions on their faces.
Then, a person waved to the mountainside, and shouted while signaling: "It's a student of Plato Academy, the alert is lifted."
All the deskmates beside Su ye looked at the eleven people in front of them with pity.
Albert shook his head lightly and said, "These idiots are hopeless."
The six deskmates suddenly turned their heads and looked at Albert in surprise, all of them full of doubts.
Albert blushed, with a little helplessness and a little bit of anger, said: "I'm not blind, I can tell who is strong and who is weak!"
"You've grown up." Jimmy couldn't help but quip.
"No kidding, we can't make the same mistakes as the other side."
After Su Ye finished speaking, he looked at the yellow and thin man in front of him again, and said, "I've never seen a mob before, especially a mob with a glint in his eyes."
There was a look of anger on everyone's face.
"We're not a mob!" one man growled.
"Then the blood on your bodies, the blood on your weapons, was splashed by wild animals?" Su ye asked blankly.
A look of panic flashed in their eyes.
Suye opened the magic book, turned to the school's magic letter, and said: "In the investigation of Plato Academy, the mob represented by Zacklei had a well-documented number of murders, seventeen, wounded over a hundred, destroyed The farmland, crops and property are countless. So, how many people have you actually killed? How many people's blood has been splashed in your heart?"
There were extremely complex expressions on the faces of the eleven people, including panic, regret, pain, sadness, and anger, but all of them also had excitement, ferocity, and joy...
"We don't want to offend Master Plato, but if you come to your door, no wonder we are!" A middle-aged man pointed his spear at Su ye.
"You shouldn't have murderous intentions toward me." Suye looked at the man's gaze, with a little regret in his words.
"You nobles are only allowed to kill us, are you not allowed to kill you?" The middle-aged man glanced greedily at the magic weapon on Su ye.
Su Ye said indifferently: "I won't talk nonsense with you. Get out of the way and let us save our classmates. You will have a better result. Otherwise, anyone who stops me from saving my classmates will be regarded as my mortal enemy."
"Why, the nobleman is angry, is he going to kill someone?" The middle-aged man sneered.
"My heart is indeed not hard enough to kill innocent people indiscriminately. However, each of you eleven is not innocent, and I will not have any psychological burden to kill. So, when you exhausted my sympathy When you are in your heart, it is the moment when the god of death beckons to you." Suye said.
"Hahaha...you talk more than the useless student union in the cave." The mob on the opposite side laughed.
Su ye let out a long sigh.
"Summon the Apprentice Servant."
Three magic circles emerged, and three small flame goblins rose from the magic circle.
"It's such a scary monster, it scares people to death. Hahaha..." They laughed again.
Di Aotian turned to look at Suye.
"Chichijigugu?"
"Go forward and kill all who stand in your way, until they drop their weapons and kneel and beg for mercy."
Unbelievable joy appeared on Di Aotian's face. In ancient times, killing was like breathing naturally. After becoming a servant, he has been restraining himself.
Now, the constraints are gone.
"Jijigugu!"
Di Aotian suddenly burst out with unprecedented courage, like an ancient ferocious beast. He rushed forward with a single stride, jumped more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and jumped high. Before the eleven mobs could react, Di Aotian waved Three sticks.
In the eyes of everyone, the sharp bony stick instantly turned into three and fell on the heads of the three people in front almost at the same time.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The three heads exploded on the spot like ripe watermelons falling from a height of 100 meters, splashing white, red, and yellow everywhere.
Di Aotian grinned, with a fierce look on his face.
The remaining eight mobs froze, their arms were sore, and their weapons fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
At the same time, ear-piercing screams came from the mountainside, there were women and men.
Just as Di Aotian was about to continue swinging his club, he turned to look at Suye.
Su ye looked at Di Aotian coldly.
Di Aotian showed shame, turned around suddenly, and smashed the next mob.
boom!
The fourth died.
The other seven people seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. They clearly wanted to escape, but they were frightened and motionless.
boom!
The fifth head exploded.
"what……"
