When the severe cold of the northern wilderness blows through the Rune area with the north wind, bending the green grass that is gradually turning yellow on the wilderness, it also symbolizes that this land has entered the most difficult time of the year, winter.

The Dongyi people, who are savage and aggressive by nature, are the most serious internal strife in this difficult season. The small tribes will expel the old people who cannot work, and then offer tributes to seek the protection of the strong. The powerful forces will also be ready to fight, always guarding against other people's attacks.

Not only the human beings who have fallen into darkness, but even the animals living in this vast wilderness will collectively migrate to the south, to the warmer south where the water and grass are still abundant.

As carnivores, wolves and wild leopards tend to follow the wild horses, bison and antelopes, while Dongyi people, who are very experienced in hunting, will follow the footprints of carnivores at the right time. Chance pockets all the prey it can carry.

"Wow woof, woof woof" "woof" "woof"

The hounds, who noticed the movement, attracted the owner's attention with a burst of rapid barking, while a pair of strong horses galloped amidst the howling of the riders, and rushed towards the pack of wolves that had already started hunting, and the pack of wolves The target is a group of large-scale antelope.

Soon, the originally peaceful scene on the grassland disappeared. The antelope with slender limbs and quick movements found itself trapped in the siege while running. The gray wolf that swooped down bit the ground.

But before they had time to enjoy the fruits of their labor, the bloody wolves were hit by sharp arrows one after another, and fled away screaming, but they couldn't run far after being wounded by the arrows, and soon Collapsing to the ground from blood loss and exhaustion.

In the end, the antelopes that escaped the wolves' mouths will continue to run south, while the attacked wolves howled, leaving their compatriots and prey all over the ground to the same sinister and despicable things. The barbarians, then left the hunting ground unwillingly, and turned into small groups again.

Normal wild wolves would not have gathered hundreds of them like the wolves, and they are just a temporary cooperation now.

And on a hilltop, Baer, ​​who had shaved his head in the severe cold, looked at his subordinates' hunting situation, and nodded subtly. To him, this harvest can only be said to be in the past. .

Because in the past, he had owned a wider hunting ground and harvested more prey.

It's just that it's in another part of the Red Water River, Rovanian, which is less populated but full of prey.

"Boss, boss."

A hunting horse spouting white smoke quickly approached the mountain from the west. Before the man arrived, the hasty cry came to Barr's ears along with the wind.

"Someone is coming from the west. He hopes you can go back as soon as possible. He said that an adult has a special order and the price is very high."

"Damn it, keep your voice down!!" Barr yelled at his confidant in a stern voice.

Even in the tribe he controls, not everyone knows how closely he deals with the northern humans. Most people only know that their boss has become more and more powerful in recent years, and he often produces exquisite products. Get a lot of money in the transaction.

Taking off the hat made of rabbit fur and inlaid with a green gemstone, Barr touched his head that was already steaming, and began to think about it.

Strange, in the past, he arranged people to visit with gifts. Just like this, it depends on whether the earl, who has been sealed for not many years, is in the mood to meet the envoy he sent. What happened today? Could it be that the glowing fireball rose from the other side of the mountain?

"Who? Been here? What special order?"

"I don't know, a young man with blond hair. He didn't say much else. He just told you to go back quickly. He won't wait for a long time, and this year's goods will be gone."

"I don't know anything, you just come to report to me, right?!"

Hearing this, Barr lashed his confidant's brand-new leather jacket with a whip, and made a light "bang". As if he didn't feel any pain, his confidant smiled embarrassingly as he touched the new clothes. stand up.

Barr, who was still cursing, put his hat on his head heavily, turned on his horse, and said to the deputy on the side: "Let everyone deal with the prey before going back, don't break the leather like last time It's worthless, you understand?"

After speaking, he took a few people and rode back towards his territory.

As long as Barr has other ideas, he won't be so humble. Today's bald head is also shaved because people from the west don't know that he often doesn't wash his hair.

In all fairness, Barr is already a very clean existence among the Dongyi people, but the living conditions of the Dongyi people prevent them from developing a living habit of paying too much attention to hygiene, and they are no match for Allen Managed by Rovanian.

And no matter how harshly he is treated, Barr can only endure it silently, because he is used to getting a lot of profits from trade, and those exquisite commodities can not only bring him a lot of wealth, but also bring Barr the respect of others.

Some people came to Baal's door with gifts, hoping to get some goods that were not common in Dongyi, as a stepping stone or in exchange for something they wanted.

In fact, the place where the Dongyi people live is far from desolate. At the beginning of the second era, Sauron, who escaped the trial of the Vala, inherited this land from Morgoth.

Under the terrifying authority of the new Dark Lord, these Dongyi people who lived in a very loose manner have established many towns and villages.

Moreover, Sauron also taught the Dongyi people the art of smelting and some other skills related to war. Until now, the brave Dongyi people still use this knowledge and regard Sauron, who taught them skills, as a god. Normal treatment, but more fear than reverence in my heart.

Barr is a relatively rare outlier among the Dongyi people. He doesn't particularly like to move his tribe to the side of those towns. Although there is the center of power of the Dongyi people, the fights are quite fierce, and there are often failures. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader left the area over there. His boss Ashur had suffered such treatment.

In order to ensure a certain degree of autonomy and facilitate his own business activities, after Baal was driven away by Fatis, he still built the tribe not far from the Red Water River, which was a sunny hillside, although he lost a town And a lot of wealth that can't be taken away.

However, Barr, who acted extremely shrewdly, took away all the captives, as well as the knowledge they possessed. In addition to large fields in his new territory, there was a newly built wind mill and a growing orchard. There is even a winery in preparation for construction.

This is extremely rare among Dongyi people, and only those leaders who own towns have relatively sound facilities. Most Dongyi people living in camps have no such awareness at all, perhaps they have not received this kind of awareness. education, so there will be no sense of territory management.

Barr, who has been relatively wealthy these years, built a house of stone and wood for himself. This is not easy in the wilderness. Wood is relatively easy to obtain, but suitable stones are not so easy.

However, Barr relied on his extensive connections to find a tribe with dwarf slaves, and only then did he complete the building. Although it was not as good as the castle in Red River Town, Barr was already very satisfied, and every time he opened the wooden door , he sincerely has a sense of accomplishment.

It's just different today. When Barr hurried back to the territory, when he entered the hall, he immediately saw a muscular young man with a helmet on, waiting for him there.

Barr had never seen this blond-haired young man before, he just felt a little familiar, and from those cold eyes, he also noticed the hatred like waves.

Although the young man has tried his best to suppress it, Barr is a warlord who rules thousands of people after all, this cannot be hidden from him.

It's just that Barr, who was at a disadvantage in the transaction, did not express any dissatisfaction. If the hatred between the Dongyi people and the northern humans can be traced back, I am afraid that one day and one night is not enough. how many.

But business is business, Barr has no hatred for wealth, and he also feels that the other party needs to provide people constantly, especially those Rovanians who have been enslaved for a long time.

"This young gentleman, have we met?" Barr maintained the basic etiquette he had learned, hiding his vicious side.

"No, and I don't need to see it. I just brought you a letter here." The young messenger's words were calm, and he took out a wooden cylinder from his pocket, and then a scroll tied with a ribbon appeared in front of him. hands.

Barr winked, and asked the little brother beside him to take the letter. At this moment, he actually felt a sense of danger, as if what the young man took out was not a scroll, but a sharp dagger. This Dongyi warlord became more careful.

The contents of the letter were not complicated, and even Barr, who was fluent in western languages, could understand it. It said that a gentleman more noble than the earl wanted to obtain a group of more than 200 dwarf slaves to dig A hidden gold mine, I hope Barr can lead a thread in it.

If Barr can handle it by himself, that is of course the best, and as a reward, the goods provided to Barr next year will increase five times, and as a thank you, that noble lord will also present a set of gifts with special powers For Baal, that's a very light but extremely protective armor.

If not, Fatis hopes that Baal can provide some information to see which tribe has a large number of dwarf slaves in their hands. It is best to be able to provide the name of the tribe, the permanent location and the style of the flag, and he will handle the rest by himself. .

And the young man named Brendon in front of him will lead a cavalry squad and run back and forth as a messenger from time to time, doing some information communication until the transaction is completed.

After hastily reading the letter, Barr had countless thoughts in his heart.

An adult who is more noble than the earl?That may be the human king living on the other side of the Black Forest. If the human king with the title of "Dragon Slayer" needs dwarf slaves, Barr's first reaction is disbelief, because he knows the relationship between the other party and the dwarves. relation.

But after seeing the hidden gold mine, he believed it a little bit. After all, even Dongyi people have heard about the greed of dwarves. It involves a lot of wealth. Of course, it is safer to use slaves, and among them, they are proficient in mining. The dwarven slaves are the best.

After Sauron returned to Mordor to officially announce his return, the Dongyi people who had been fighting each other had been peaceful on the surface over the years, at least they would not start blatant conflicts. Let the Dongyi people set their sights on the farther area.

This kind of situation has brought disaster to the dwarves who had a relatively stable life. If it is in the mountains, it is an undoubted fact that the Dongyi people cannot beat the dwarves, but if the enemy seizes the opportunity and walks in the wilderness The dwarves didn't even have a chance to escape.

The goats they rode couldn't outrun horses and hounds, let alone those short, stocky legs.

Some dwarves will fight to the end after encountering a crisis, but there are always those who are full of attachment to life and unwilling to accept death, and finally become slaves of the Dongyi people.

Over the years, due to information problems, the routes that were considered safe in the past have become dangerous, which has resulted in many dwarves visiting relatives and friends being attacked in the wilderness. Although Barr has never done it, he knows Those tribes closer to the north often do this.

"There is no problem with this deal, I can probably get it done, but the reward is not enough, I want ten times, and I want five... no, ten pieces of that armor."

Although Barr's position has always been at a disadvantage in the communication between the two parties, he still has the courage to open his mouth when it comes to business.

In the cooperation with Rovanian, although he can obtain very good income, it is not all his own. Ashur, who has regained power, sheltered him, so he has to draw half of the wealth.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his relationship with Allen was too bad, Ashur would have mastered this business route by himself, Barr?I'm afraid he's already dead.

"Yes, I will truthfully report your request to my lord. Next time, I will come with the result, but you must do this matter first, and there must be no delay. I don't expect you to be able to take out the slave immediately, but the information It must be there, if not, you will not be needed in this matter, I think there will be many people willing to cooperate with my adults besides you."

After talking, Brendon left here, not wanting to see Barr for a moment, because his father was tied behind the chariot by Barr himself, and was dragged to death by Ashur.

And the reason was that the slaves were too tired, and his father proposed to take a rest.
