It was the same group of people being slaughtered and the same burning village. However, this was already the fifth village Li Ke had encountered on the way.
Without any hesitation, Li Ke urged his horse to charge forward. However, this time, it wasn't Cherna by his side. Instead, it was Akalan and Lelles. After Akalan was resurrected from the dead by Li Ke's hands, these two craftsmen decisively abandoned their carpentry tools. Instead, they picked up the battle axes and swords seized by Li Ke. They also equipped themselves with some broken armor that Li Ke didn't even care about.
Of course, it wasn't just them. In order to show that they weren't useless people, the newly joined warriors also immediately followed after them. The warriors who were looting in the village were stunned by the sudden approach of the knights. Then, under an even more horrified expression, Li Ke pierced the throat of one of their companions with his spear and pierced through two warriors who were close to him with his spear.
However, his battle record ended here because the knights behind him dealt with the remaining people. He could only jump off his horse and use the opportunity to draw out his spear to absorb the vitality of these two people.
This was already the second day after he decided to recruit more people into his' Aichy interest group '. But in just a little more than a night, he became the leader of 16 warriors and 213 ordinary people.
Among them, there were only fifty-three men, including the warriors, and ninety-four adult women. The rest were all children.
As for the elderly? Not a single one. Not to mention how many people could live to old age in this kind of place. Not to mention, when these tribes were attacked, the remaining elderly stood out from their homes and stood together with the warriors, trying their best to buy time for the others.
After all, according to their experience in the snowstorm, not only did the elderly not have the ability to support themselves, but they would also drag the tribe down. Therefore, this kind of situation was too common. Even if there were no battles, many of the elderly here would try their best to seek death when they realized that they didn't have the ability to support themselves and contribute to the tribe.
Therefore, only in the villages that wanted wealth and peace would there be elderly people and disabled people. That was why there wasn't a single old person in Li Ke's group. By the time Li Ke arrived, these old people had already died for their families.
But even so, the speed at which Li Ke's team grew was far beyond his imagination, and their food supply was once again in danger. Therefore, Li Ke had no choice but to choose a more stable way of fighting. At the same time, he began to consciously gather more life force.
Fortunately, he was no longer fighting alone.
"Sir, your spear."
There was still some blood on Akalan's face, but he didn't care about that. Instead, he devoutly used both hands to catch the spear that Li Ke threw out in front of Li Ke. The person who came with him was a bald man who was panting heavily. His body was covered in wounds and blood.
"You were very brave just now, Akalan. But you still have to be careful. The range of your sword swings is too big. Fighting isn't like chopping wood."
Li Ke didn't have much to say about Akalan's choice to become warriors. After all, they were born to fight all kinds of things. However, this kind of respectful attitude was something that he wasn't used to.
But now, he had to maintain this mysterious dignity of a god. Because if he didn't do so, all kinds of problems would arise in his' Join Aichy Interest Group '.
After all, it wasn't as if there were no grudges between these furnaces. To be precise, it would be too idealistic if there weren't any grudges between such close villages. Therefore, there must be a strong person who could hold the right to speak and make the majority believe and rely on him.
"Yes, sir. I will take note."
Akalan's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. It was obvious that Li Ke's praise gave him a great sense of honor. But because of this sense of honor, he added a setting to himself. In addition to his duty, he had to become a qualified subordinate of Li Ke. Therefore, he suppressed his excitement and turned to introduce the man beside him to Li Ke.
"He is the leader of this village. After the tribe that protected them took away the last of their food, they encountered these bandits. Therefore, he is willing to offer his loyalty to you and become your sharp sword. He has also disbanded his tribe and joined us. "
After Akalan finished speaking, the man beside him nodded nervously and knelt in front of Li Ke's feet. And halfway through his words, his eyes widened and he was stunned.
"Yes, honorable …"
He didn't know Li Ke's name at all. Moreover, Li Ke's belongings were pitifully plain and there wasn't anything famous for him to guess his name. After all, other than looking a little different from the people here, Li Ke's only outstanding point was his' delicate face '.
"Li Ke."
Akalan realized his mistake and hurriedly reminded the leader whom he swore loyalty to. The flustered man quickly spoke again to make up for it.
"Ah, honorable Sir Li Ke …"
But this time, Li Ke directly helped him up and didn't intend to let him continue speaking.
"There's no need to swear allegiance to me. I'm just bringing people who want to leave this place to a safe place. I don't intend to be a leader."
Li Ke said what he had said many times in a serious tone.
"So if you want to follow us, report your numbers to Cherna and bring your supplies. If you don't want to leave, we won't force you."
After speaking, Li Ke went to the few people who weren't completely dead. After ending their pain, he also tried his best to harvest some life force. The man who wanted to use his knee to break the symbol of his tribe's leader and swear allegiance to Li Ke froze on the spot. He didn't know what to do as he looked at Akalan.
"Did I anger that honorable person?"
He asked uncertainly. After all, if Li Ke wanted to, this small village of dozens of people would undoubtedly be destroyed in a short period of time.
Although even if Li Ke didn't care about them, they would still starve to death in the snowstorm.
"No, it's just that honorable person isn't interested in power."
Lelles walked over and patted Akalan's shoulder before speaking to the nervous man in tattered clothes.
"You just have to listen to him."
