"Haha, don't worry! What you worry about won't happen."
Monica stopped Mark from packing his things and said, "These people are not Lord Spin's men. They said when they came over just now that Lord Spin of Stone Hammer Town has fled Stone Hammer Town and is nowhere to be found. They are the guards who have temporarily taken over the defense of the Blood Crystal Mine."
"..." Monica's words had too many flaws at once, and Mark didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only look at Monica with a puzzled expression and said, "Do you believe it?"
The lord of a mining town fled his territory for no apparent reason. Unidentified soldiers took over the town's most developed industry and sealed off the blood crystal mine immediately after the accident.
This is full of flaws, okay?
"Believe it or not, what does it matter? Can you escape from a group of Tier 3 heavy armored cavalry?" Monica shrugged and asked, "Or can you deal with these heavy cavalry like you killed those holy light monsters?"
Mark reluctantly threw a piece of wood into the fire, and sparks crackled and exploded. "Okay, I believe it for now. But the most important thing now is, why are these tin cans holding us hostage?"
"They said we need to wait for the newly appointed important figure from Stone Hammer Town to inspect the goods." She raised her chin towards the camp. In the moonlight, she could vaguely see dozens of heavy crossbows mounted on the rocks outside the camp. "No one can leave before daybreak."
"Bad luck..." Mark had never expected to be involved in such a mess in Stone Hammer Town.
Although neither of them said it explicitly, everyone understood that this so-called new big shot was also related to the new type of Holy Light Blood Crystal created by Bishop Stan.
Now that the incident in the Blood Crystal Mine has been noticed by the Church of Holy Light, Shichui Town has come up with an outrageous operation of switching from the left hand to the right hand.
If only a new lord was replaced, the Holy Light Blood Crystal Industry might be able to be cleansed, and the people in this temporary camp might just be the bargaining chips for the new big man to cleanse his assets.
However, after figuring this out, Mark figured out the position of their group.
He stood up from the campfire and shouted to the heavily armored guards standing outside the campfire, "Hey! Tin Can, quickly send someone to deliver holy water and healing potions! Otherwise, if anything happens to our Lord Kyle, you won't be able to bear the consequences!..."
Mark deliberately shouted very loudly, and his voice spread throughout the camp so that everyone in the camp could hear it.
Before he could finish his words, a patrol team of heavily armored guards rushed in and kicked over the wooden barrels placed beside the campfire.
A muffled voice came from beneath the lead guard's visor: "Who gave you permission to shout?"
The iron-soled boots crushed half a blood crystal, and a powder mist drifted away in the firelight: "If you still want to see the sun tomorrow, be quiet!"
Mark pinched his nose and leaned back. "Dude, did you stuff some moldy communion wafer in your armor? It stinks!"
He pointed to the person beside him and said, "If this already unconscious priest dies from the smoke, you won't be able to pay the compensation."
"You!" The guard on the side drew his sword and wanted to go forward to teach Mark a lesson.
"What do you mean by me?" Mark said as he took a step forward. "You're all pretending to be something more than you actually are!"
"A heretic has emerged from the church under your jurisdiction, sacrificing ordinary people. Don't think you can turn the tables and become the boss just because Spin escapes. All the people in Stone Hammer are suspected of being connected to this heretic!"
"Our lord priest exploded in the mines and killed a heretic. Instead of treating him immediately after he emerged, you actually tried every possible means to imprison us. I think you're trying to avenge the heretic and deliberately stalling for time to kill this lord priest!"
"Damn bug, you're looking for death!" Mark's words completely enraged the guard who was already a little angry. He raised his leg and kicked Mark hard.
"stop!"
The patrol captain shouted and ordered his guards to stop, but although he seemed to be trying to stop his men, his body did not move at all.
A group of people watched as the guard's heavy-armored boots kicked towards Mark's calf.
If this kick landed solidly, it would probably break an ordinary person's leg.
But unfortunately, Mark is not an ordinary person. If he was still cautious and did not dare to conflict with these people at the entrance of the blood crystal mine because he was not sure of their levels and attributes.
With the support of Monica, the appraiser, the attributes of this group of heavily armored guards in front of him were no longer a secret to Mark.
The 200-man heavy-armored knight group are all the most common knight professions.
The average strength is level three, with only the leader and deputy leader being level four.
Among the six attributes of ordinary guards in the Knights Templar, the strongest are physique and strength, both of which are in the early twenties.
Judging from the attributes alone, the ordinary guards of this heavy armored knight group are actually no stronger than Mark.
So when the guard kicked him casually, seemingly in a humiliating manner, Mark did not dodge, but kicked him head-on.
The two feet collided with each other, and Mark stood still. Instead, the guard took two steps back and fell heavily on his butt, raising a cloud of dust.
"Tsk, it turns out that the weaker the person, the more they like to shout!" Mark really didn't expect that the opponent he picked at random would have a strength attribute of only 20 points. Coupled with the crushing of his physical attribute and the opponent's underestimation of him, he naturally kicked the opponent down.
Mark's kick completely ignited the other party's anger. The guard got up from the ground, drew out the long sword at his waist with a whoosh, and chopped towards Mark's head regardless of anything.
At this time, the leader of the patrol team finally stood up as Mark expected.
"I told you to fucking stop!"
He chopped off the long sword from the guard's hand from the side, and then kicked the guard in the waist, knocking him to the ground.
He would have no objection if his soldiers relied on their status to bully the people in the caravan, but under his protection, they couldn't even bully a young priest, and they were so angry that they wanted to ruin the adult's plan. Naturally, he had to teach this useless guy a lesson.
"You, get him some recovery potions!" the team leader ordered, pointing at a guard behind him. He then glared at Mark and said, "Kid, don't take your identity too seriously! The church is just a church, and we still have to manage Shichui Town!"
"Oh, really?" Mark laughed. "I don't care who will rule Stone Hammer Town in the future, but I know that after this incident, it will be under the control of the Church for at least a period of time. Your guards in the mines just used violence against His Excellency the Clergyman Kyle and verbally insulted the Church of Holy Light. How do you plan to deal with this?"
"Hmph! Even if you're from the Church of Holy Light, you can't impose something on our guards without any evidence!"
