Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Chapter 16 The Current Situation of the Heroine

At this time, Isha Nebet, the heroine of this game, or this world, is leading the refugees towards the gray-collar workers.

Although a large number of refugees died during the capture of Jager's castle and on the way, more and more refugees joined along the way.

Just as Lind had guessed, although Isa captured Count Jager's castle, she was unable to hold it.

When the news of Count Jager's death and the capture of the castle spreads to the territories of the surrounding nobles, the surrounding nobles will immediately raise the banner of revenge for Jager and attack Isa. No matter whether they are nobles who truly want revenge or want to fish in troubled waters, they will all get a share of the spoils after conquering Isa.

Unable to reproduce the miracle of the meteorite that day, Isa had no way to resist the attack of these nobles anymore, so she simply gave up Luye Territory and started moving westward.

Sure enough, after Isa gave up, the nobles did not rush to chase Isa, but began to dismember the Luye Territory and distribute the benefits in Yager's castle.

After obtaining the almost rotten food stored by Yager, Isa thought she could lead the refugees to settle down safely on the western side of the northern border. However, as more and more refugees joined along the way, the food was consumed rapidly.

Coupled with the suppression and harassment from some nobles along the way, by the time Isa was about to reach the gray-collar workers, many people had been hungry for a long time.

But fortunately, there were no more nobles around, so Isa could settle down with peace of mind.

Although I heard that there is an aristocratic territory called Gray Collar not far away, that territory has just begun to develop, with only a few hundred people, and it is still a camping site full of tents.

This is also the reason why Isa chose to go west. These small nobles do not have much help from professionals, and their combat effectiveness is generally not high.

If a conflict really breaks out, the other party will be in a thankless position. Any noble with a normal mind will turn a blind eye to Isa's team of more than a thousand people.

Managing a team of more than a thousand people made Isa feel physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately, she had the help of the refugees when she captured Luye Territory. Those refugees saw the meteorites and fire rain falling from the sky with their own eyes, and they all believed that this was a miracle shown by the goddess for Isa. Now they can be said to be absolutely loyal to Isa.

Moreover, the old village chief who had drunk Isa's holy water before also recovered miraculously and could help Isa share some of the pressure.

"Lady Saint, don't forget to send scouts out to check on the gray-collar worker."

It was the idea of ​​the old village chief named Jack to let Isa call herself a saint. There were countless rebels in the North, and the church's control was not strong. Having multiple rebel saints was basically a small matter for the church, but it was very helpful for Isa to rally people's hearts.

"Don't worry, old village chief. I have already arranged for Bruno to go. According to the schedule, he should be back soon."

Isa seemed to be able to handle these small matters with ease, but the current situation was not optimistic. At least most people were still hungry, and at night they had to huddle together for warmth. If the neighboring territory only had tents, Isa would not even have a tent now.

As soon as Isha finished speaking, the man named Bruno, who was carrying a shovel, came back with two refugees who looked relatively strong.

Bruno had emerged from his trance-like state since burying his wife and children.

But Bruno, who was always capable and never talked nonsense, looked embarrassed at this moment and didn't know how to start talking in front of Isa.

"What's wrong Bruno, did you encounter any difficulties while investigating the gray-collar worker?"

Isa looked at Bruno with concern. Bruno didn't look like he was in danger, but rather like he had encountered something strange.

"Lady Saint, are all nobles really evil?"

Isa, puzzled by Bruno's incoherent question, fell silent. Isa did not think that all nobles were evil. As Isa had seen when she was studying in the royal capital, many nobles, although only for superficial decency, really cared about the common people.

And although they are few, there are some nobles who really fight for the interests of the common people.

At this time, Isa already had the concept that "there is no class that betrays its class, but there are people who betray their class", but she just couldn't summarize it yet.

But what surprised Isa was that the person who asked this question was Bruno, a man whose wife was tortured to death by the nobles and hung on the city wall, and whose child died after eating the nobles' spoiled food.

"Maybe, but at least we didn't encounter any along the way, right?"

After hearing Isa's answer, Bruno and the two scouts seemed to see hope, and finally told Isa what he saw in the gray-white collar.

"Lady Saint, I saw... I saw the gray-and-white collar cooking porridge in our direction. There was also a sign. I am not very literate, but the literate scout I brought with me said that it was written on it that this was the place to receive relief food from the Lars family."

"what?"

Now it was Isa and Village Chief Old Jack's turn to be shocked. Are there really nobles who would provide relief food?

"Don't worry, this could also be a conspiracy of the nobles."

Old Jack, who had seen a lot, did not directly believe what the scout said, and continued: "Look, that gray-collared country only has a few hundred people. Even if they are really willing to give relief food, where will they get relief food for more than a thousand of us? It can't be that Grand Duke Lars has been transporting supplies to that territory, right?"

After hearing this, Isa and the scouts also reacted. This was indeed too incredible. Old Jack's speculation was more reasonable.

But Isa felt that the lord of the gray-collar was not the type who could not be negotiated with. At least he had shown a relatively gentle attitude. So she planned to let Bruno go and see if he could contact the other lord.

At this moment, the ground beneath Isa's feet suddenly began to shake, and many refugees began to get nervous, because they were very familiar with the situation as they had fled all the way here. This was the lord's heavy cavalry being dispatched. Although these heavy cavalry usually only drove away the enemies, they still left an indelible fear in the refugees.

"Get ready to meet the enemy!"

As Isa shouted, the refugees who had witnessed the miracle of the meteorite began to maintain order in the camp.

Considering that the other side was a small territory with only a few hundred people, Isa believed that as long as she did not lose her composure, she could make the other side afraid with the advantage in numbers.

But soon Isa found out that she was wrong, extremely wrong. The heavy cavalry consisted of three horses for each man, all wearing blue and white armor, holding glowing enchanted spears and hammers, and carrying longbows with strings made of lion tendons on their backs.

Especially the leading female knight, her equipment cannot be said to be luxurious, it can only be said to be outrageous. It can be said that the defense runes used in a castle were forcibly moved to the armor. Only high-level professionals can wear this.

The most important thing is that their armor and cloaks are printed with the North Wind Bear representing the Lars family.

They are the knights of the Lars family, and all of them are professionals.

"I'm so sorry, Saint Lady. It's all because of me."

Bruno felt very guilty, because this group of cavalry appeared immediately after he returned to the camp. It was obvious that his reconnaissance was discovered, and the other party followed him directly.

"No, it's not your fault. The other party is much stronger than you."

Isa fell into deep despair.
