Transcendent Noble

This is the end of the wind season. In a forest northeast of Randal, various wild fruits have matured, including blackthorn plums, rowan fruits, and wild rose fruits. , Blackberries and elderberries. Cracked chestnuts, mushrooms and wild celery can also be seen on the ground. After the ant plague, the beasts in the forest disappeared. It became a paradise for yellow goats, boar deer, wild boars, takins, badgers, hares, squirrels, and civets. These animals are making their way through the cold water season. Prepare, eat all the fat and body.

In the early morning, more than a dozen sturdy and vigorous short-tailed deer walked through the woods in the mist, and soon they came to the stream. These alert animals sniffed their noses vigorously, and only after making sure that there was no scent of beasts all around did they lower their heads to drink.

"sou"

A sharp arrow shot from the bushes and penetrated the head of the stag with precision. The leader of the herd fell directly to the ground without a word. . Without the leadership of the head of deer, the haphazard group of short-tailed deer lost the opportunity to escape, and more sharp arrows and spears were shot at the chaotic deer herd in the hiding place.

When the last young deer fell in the stream, dozens of powerful brawny men were already gathering their prey. They were carrying hunting bows and spears, wearing leather hoods, and Wearing a short sleeveless robe with a cowhide belt, it was completely dressed up as a hunter.

"The deer that hit the arrow didn't run far, let a few people bring them back." The old hunter headed squatted down and carefully observed the hoof prints and blood stains on the ground, and motioned for his companions to search for those who escaped. prey.

After the companion brought the prey back, the hunters carried the spoils of war and walked out of the forest along the stream.

There is a makeshift camp outside the forest. There are many skinned prey hung on the wooden frame in the camp. A dozen women are applying salt to these animal flesh, wearing The men in leather aprons dismembered a fat wild boar by the stream. On the other side of the camp, there were many wooden barrels filled with wild fruits, mushrooms, nuts and wild vegetables.

The hunter squad, who returned full of loads, appeared outside the camp and was immediately greeted. More than two dozen people happily took over the prey, and walked towards the camp with their triumphant companions.

"Old Hansen, your harvest is not bad." A middle-aged brawny man in chain armor looked at the plump short-tailed deer and happily patted the old hunter's shoulder.

"Sean Captain, the other squads haven't come back yet?" The old hunter Hansen bowed slightly to Sean and asked in a dumb voice.

Sean said with a smile: "Their hunting skills are not as good as you, but it's almost time to return by noon. Those bastards will never forget to eat."

The compliment from Captain of the militia made Hansen's old face look like a blooming chrysanthemum, and the two of them walked into the camp talking and laughing.

"Old Hansen, it’s really nice here. There is no wild beast, no monster. You can find food everywhere. I plan to let you stay here until the season of water is over." Yuan next to Sean Patted Stakes, ask the most experienced old hunter in the village to sit down.

Hearing this, Old Hansen was surprised and jumped up from the log pile again, "What? We won't go back to the village?"

"The situation in the village, you Don’t you know? This year’s grain harvest will be absent. Most of the grain stored in the village needs to be planted. My father also told me that the interior officer did not agree to the request for exemption. To tell you the truth, my father wants me to take you out for hunting and gathering. , Not just to supplement the food in the village. If we don’t come out, we will starve to death!” Sean said with a bitter smile.

Old Hansen sat down slowly, and said with a low voice: "You didn't say that before you came out! After the water season in the wild, you will die! I heard that there has been a wolf disaster here! The camp has no defense at all."

"What can I do? There are more than 700 people in the village. Not only are we coming out, but there are also two teams who have to fight for life outside. If you don't do this, you will die. There will be more people." Xiao En whispered, and was comforted: "Don't worry, the place where Ant-Man washed, all the beasts are gone, there will be no danger in camping here."

Old Hansen feels a little more at ease. In these days, he did not find traces of beasts and monsters, but he did not want to risk staying in the wild for more than a hundred days. The home is occupied. Old Hansen knew that there were still a lot of free folks relatives living in the village chief's house, but they didn't follow the team.

"Sean Captain, we also shot a lot of prey, and there are so many wild vegetables and wild fruits, just take it home. Or, let's go back in batches?" Old Hansen asked tentatively.

Xiao En sneered in his heart. The village was already overcrowded. On the one hand, he brought people out to supplement the food in the village. On the other hand, he wanted to get the old Hansen out. Anyway, it was him in the village. The old man had the final say, the interior officer only accepted the offerings, and had always ignored the following methods of reducing the population.

"It takes 5 days to return to the village. With so many people eating and eating he he land, how much is left? Old Hansen, you are the best hunter in the village. The big guys are all from the same village. You I can’t watch them starve to death outside, right?"

Old Hansen just wanted to talk, but he saw Sean faint smile and stroke the hilt of his waist, and then he remembered that Sean was in the village. The chief warrior, the vassal of the noble lord, would only pay a few cows even if he was killed.

"How many things do you want to take?" Old Hansen asked dullly.

Sean smiled and said: "Leave 20% for you, and take away the rest. You are a smart man, you know what to say and what not to say. Let’s go, the others are also back. , It’s time for dinner."

The hunting teams returned to the camp one after another. The smell of barbecue wafted from the camp. Everyone sat happily together, except for a limited number of people. Most of them don’t even know that they have become free people.

Sean was enjoying the fragrant barbecue and delicious mushroom soup, and a guard in charge ran over in a panic.

"Master Shaun! It's not good, someone is here!"

The camp suddenly became messy, and Shaun and his men violently pushed away the woman and child who were in the way. , Quickly draped neatly, took up arms and walked out of the camp.

Outside the camp, Sean sucked in a breath of cold air. He watched a dozen fully armed soldiers walking towards this place. The one-handed spear above was glowing with indigo blue light, the iron oak buckler had a full metal shield surface, and some people actually held terrifying crossbows.

Elite! Better than the guards of fief lord! Sean swallowed and shouted: "We are the leaders of the Beria family, who are you?"

A short soldier holding a mace bared his teeth said with a smile: "The Beria family’s The leader actually came to us Randal to lead the poaching? You are really brave enough. Put down your weapons and take the things you stole and go with us!"

Sean rolled his eyes and shouted, "Here This is the territory of the Beria family. This forest is our hunting ground. Who are you?"

"I am the Small Captain Hammer, the guard of Viscount Randal!" The hammer pointed and hung on the wooden frame. The short-tailed deer cub said coldly: "I have never seen a young deer and doe hunted in my hunting grounds. You are despicable thieves! I'll say it again, put down your weapons!"

At this time, dozens of men with hunting bows rushed out of the camp and surrounded Sean and the others. Seeing the crowds in his own side, Xiao En was bold and bold, and then seeing the soldiers on the other side's eyes changed from cringe to greed, and the equipment on those soldiers made him jealous.

"We are crowded! Kill all these bandits."

Following the roar of Sean, the battle broke out and ended soon. The three monkey militiamen rushed into Sean’s team like a flock of sheep, with hundreds of pounds of equipment on them as light as nothing, they quickly avoided the dense arrows and used iron essence to draw with one-handed spear. The opponent cried and screamed, and occasionally a few arrows shot at the soldiers behind, but iron essence made the lock armor. After five crossbows shot and killed five people on the opposite side, they chose to kneel and surrender.

Equipment rolling, martial power rolling, the battle is like this without suspense. If it hadn't been for the hammer's warning in advance, it would only be a matter of time before the three monkey militiamen killed all these people. Unless these people can fierce and unafraid of death like Ant-Man, it is possible to injure the monkey militia. As far as close combat is concerned, the monkey militia who started cultivation to simplify Concealed Ox Secret Shape has surpassed the overwhelming majority trainee Knight.

The hammer smacked boredly, and looked at the militiamen with envy, ordered: "Let them take things with us and we will return to the camp."

second day At noon, the hammer escorted these poachers back to the camp. And Victor has been busy cultivation Blue Moon, waited until the evening, he took time to deal with this matter.

"My lord, the above is what I tortured." Detective Barol said respectfully.

Victor sighed, he was prepared to accommodate the freedmen, but he didn't want to start with killing. Victor knew about these people as soon as they entered the Randal collar a few days ago, but he didn't expect that there would be Beria vassals in it. They want to take away the prey, which is the reason for Victor's tough measures. In order to gain population, Victor can tolerate free people, but cannot tolerate violations by other families, especially the Beria family who once plot against him.

According to Sean, most of these people are not free people. They are villagers of Rota Village, which is a village of the Beria family. Due to lack of food, they went to Victor's territory to carry out poaching and poaching. Of course, Sean insisted that the forest belonged to the Beria family. At the same time, he also revealed that Viscount Beria's younger brother Austin has been successfully promoted to the Silver Knight, and wanted to threaten Barol to release him.

"Barol, do the villagers know they have been driven out by the village chief?" Victor asked.

Barol bowed and replied: "My lord, I have already told them that they are very frightened and angry. Overwhelming majority people are willing to stay with us as free citizens. In addition, There are 8 people who are Sean’s confidantes, and they are totally obedient to Sean."

Victor asked again: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"My lord, these people Most of them are the leaders of the Beria family, I think it is better to drive them away, because they are probably just eating here, and after the water season, most of them will still have to flee. In addition, they will receive the leaders of other families. , Will be regarded as provocation." Barol said.

Victor couldn’t help but laughed, "I can’t just sit back and watch the people of the Beria family starve to death, whether it’s a leader or a free citizen, since I’m here, I’ll give him food, and those who have to leave Yes, let them go."

"Hammer, that Sean is a vassal of the Beria family, he is a High Level person, let go. Those who want to go with him are also the same And let it go. Don't forget to remind them that it's not safe in the wild." Victor glanced at the hammer next to him, lightly instructed.

"My lord, I will let them go now." Hammer said with a grinning grin, and strode out.

Victor was nodded with satisfaction. Regardless of the honest and honest appearance of the hammer, he is not a kind person. In fact, there is no soft-hearted person in the war bear mercenary, even the delicate Lilia. Kill people without blinking their eyes. Therefore, Victor is not worried that the hammer will misunderstand what he means.

"Don't leave when you come. Just leave if you want to eat a bite. There is such a cheap thing." Victor muttered to himself quietly.
