MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 33 : Goblins!
After hearing what Sylvia said, Simon nodded thoughtfully. He understood what Sylvia said, precisely because the high mountains have a large territory and few people.
The lord and the people support each other, so the folk customs are more open, but this kind of situation is almost non-existent in the northern border.
The size of the northern border is almost the same as that of the southern border, but it has more than 70% of the population of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Because the lords over there are not threatening, it is not uncommon for them to oppress the citizens. Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire northern border is actually more restrained than that in the southern border.
"Hey, take into account the dilemma." Simon sighed again. He knew the truth of living in sorrow and dying in peace. Without external threats, it is difficult for the ruler to be united with the ruled.
If Alpine Fort became richer and there was no threat from the Gelu Mountains, how long would the happy scene between the lord and the subjects last.
I may be able to love the people, but what about the next generation and the next generation? Will they become the kind of lords who oppress the people under the perennial comfort?
"Geta", the carriage seemed to have run over a stone, and the whole car was steep, pulling Simon, who was in a state of anxiety, back to reality.
Taking another look at the desolate scene outside the carriage, Simon couldn't help laughing at himself: "I haven't learned how to walk, but I'm worried about what to do if I fall when I run. Is my worry unfounded?"
Sitting bored on the bumpy carriage, Simon suddenly thought that he should actually bring a few books to read on the road.
He only thought about the trouble, but he didn't think about how to pass the boring time on the road.
"Forget it, it's just a matter of tempering your state of mind," Simon comforted himself in his heart, so he just sat quietly in the carriage.
After an unknown amount of time, Simon suddenly felt a little hungry, so he opened the car window and glanced at the sun, only to find that it was almost noon.
So he asked Xi Weier who was beside the carriage, "Xi Weier, where have we been?"
Xi Weier replied without thinking: "Master Simon, we have just left the high mountain collar."
"Well, we've come so far, let's take a break and eat something," Simon rubbed his stomach and said to Xi Weier.
"Well, it's almost noon, it's really time to take a rest," Xi Weier said, looking at the height of the sun.
Although he has no culture, he has been in battle for a long time, so he still knows the way to judge time.
Xi Weier drove the war horse to the side of the coachman and told him to find a shady place to stop, and the coachman quickly agreed. After driving the carriage for so long, he was also a little tired.
It happened that there was a grove not far ahead. The coachman drove the carriage and stopped under the shade of the grove. After resting, they had to continue their journey, so there was no need to go deep into this grove.
After the carriage stopped, the coachman took a small stool for stepping and placed it under the door behind the carriage, then opened the carriage door, and Simon stepped on the stool to get out of the carriage.
After Simon got off the carriage, he first stretched his body. After sitting in the carriage for so long, he felt that his whole body was about to die of discomfort.
Silver came to Simon and asked to get some dry branches in the grove.
He wanted to build a fire to cook the dry food they were carrying, and Simon agreed. Of course it would be best if he could cook his lunch, no matter what the taste was, at least it was better than eating the dry food completely raw.
After receiving Simon's consent, Xivir went into the grove to find dry branches, while Simon took a water bag from the carriage and drank it in small sips.
Although it is said that he can reach his uncle's territory this evening, Simon still thinks it is better to save a little. After all, this is a wild place, so maybe something will happen.
"Huh, Sylvia? So fast." Simon saw a figure shaking behind the trees not far away, so he thought that Sylvia should have returned after picking up dry branches.
But why did Xavier come back so quickly? Could it be that there are many dead branches in this forest, so Xavier just went in and wandered around, and picked up enough branches to start a fire, Simon thought suspiciously.
"Xivir, is that you?" Simon shouted loudly to that figure, he always felt that something was wrong, that figure was timid, it didn't look like Xivir.
"Whoosh, clang~~", just when Simon was wondering, a very simple arrow rubbed against Simon.
Well, in fact, it didn't miss Simon, it was just Simon's imagination. The arrow obviously felt like it was shot at Simon, but it hit the carriage one meter away from him.
When Simon was still complaining in his heart, was that shooter blind?
"Swoosh, clang~~, swish, clang~~", two more arrows shot at the carriage next to Simon.
Simon was completely speechless. He was now convinced that the opponent's shooter was blind. He didn't move just now, but all three arrows of the opponent missed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"Master Simon, be careful." The coachman finally came to his senses. He took out a dagger from nowhere and shielded it in front of Simon, nervously watching a group of figures that suddenly appeared.
"Uh, is this a Goblin?" Simon said cautiously to the coachman in front of him. That's right, the group of figures appearing now are quite similar to the Goblins that Simon knew in his previous life.
Green skin, pointed ears, about the same size as the current Simon, holding crude weapons such as wooden sticks and wooden spears in his hands.
"No, Master Simon, I don't know what you're talking about, but these things are goblins coming from the Gru Mountains," the coachman said nervously, staring at the group of monsters.
The coachman's name is Valli, and he used to be a guard of the Hawke family until he was shot in the knee by an arrow while fighting a barbarian, so he changed his career as a coachman.
Fortunately, Simon doesn't know about Valli's experience now, otherwise he should complain in his heart again.
"Aba, Aba", the group of goblins didn't know what to shout, and then rushed towards Simon and Vali. Simon probably counted them, and their number should be around five or six.
Vali, who was guarding in front of Simon, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there were only five or six goblins. Now that Lord Xivir is not here, and he is only a junior fighter, he can barely deal with these five or six goblins, but Not if the number of goblins is higher.
When the goblin was still six or seven meters away from Simon and Simon, Vali took a deep breath, then raised the dagger to his neck, and rushed towards the goblin.
Simon was right behind him. If the goblins were allowed to get close to Simon, he would be restrained instead, so he might as well rush up now.
