Chapter 158

At this time, it is the end of the wind season. In the forest in the northeast of Randall's collar, all kinds of wild fruits have matured, including black thorn plum, Rowan fruit, wild rose fruit, blackberry and wood fruit. Cracked chestnuts, mushrooms and celery can also be seen on the ground. After the ant disaster, the beasts in the forest disappeared. It has become a paradise for yellow sheep, short tailed deer, wild boar, antelope, badger, hare, squirrel and spirit beaver. These animals are fat and strong in preparation for the cold water season.

In the early morning, a dozen strong and vigorous short tailed deer walked through the woods in the mist. Soon they came to the stream. These alert animals sniffed their noses. After making sure there was no smell of beasts around, they began to drink water.

"Whoosh"

A sharp arrow was shot from the Bush and penetrated the stag's head accurately. The leader of the herd fell to the ground without saying a word. Without the leadership of a deer, the disorderly short tailed deer lost the chance to escape, and more sharp arrows and spears were shot at the disordered deer in the shelter.

When the last young deer fell into the stream, more than a dozen powerful men were already picking up their prey. They were carrying hunting bows and spears, wearing leather hoods and sleeveless robes with cowhide belts. They were completely dressed as hunters.

"The deer hit by the arrow can't run far. Go and get some people to bring them back." The leading old hunter squatted down and carefully observed the hoof prints and blood on the ground, motioning his companions to search for those fleeing prey.

After their companions brought their prey back, the hunters picked up their booty and walked out of the forest along the stream.

There is a temporary camp outside the forest. There are many skinned prey hanging on the wooden frame in the camp. A dozen women are carefully smearing salt on these animal meat. Men in leather aprons dismember a fat wild boar by the stream. On the other side of the camp, there are many wooden barrels filled with wild fruits, mushrooms, nuts and wild vegetables.

The fully loaded Hunter team appeared outside the camp and was immediately greeted. More than twenty people happily took the prey and surrounded their triumphant Companions to the camp.

"Old Hansen, your harvest is good." A middle-aged man in lock armor looked at the fat short tailed deer and happily patted the old hunter on the shoulder.

"Captain Sean, the other teams haven't come back yet?" Hansen, the old hunter, bowed slightly to Sean and asked hoarsely.

Sean said with a smile, "their hunting ability can't compare with you, but when it's almost time to come back at noon, those bastards won't forget to eat."

The compliment of the militia captain made Hansen's old face like a blooming chrysanthemum. They walked into the camp with a smile.

"Old Hansen, it's really nice here. There are no beasts and monsters. You can find food everywhere. I'm going to let you stay here until the water season passes." Sean patted the round stake beside him and asked the most experienced old hunter in the village to sit down.

After hearing this, old Hansen was surprised and jumped up from the log pile, "why? We're not going back to the village?"

"Don't you know what's going on in the village? This year's grain harvest is scarce, and more than half of the grain stored in the village needs to be planted. My father also told me that the interior official didn't agree to waive the request for sacrifice. To tell you the truth, my father asked me to take you out to hunt and collect, not just to supplement the food in the village. If we don't come out, we will starve to death!" Sean smiled bitterly.

Old Hansen sat down slowly, pressed his voice and said, "you didn't say that before you came out! If you spend the water season in the wild, you will also die! It's said that there has been a wolf disaster here! This camp has no defense at all."

"What can I do? There are more than 700 people in the village, not only us, but also two teams to make a living outside. If they don't do so, more people will die." Sean whispered and comforted, "don't worry, there are no beasts in the place where the ant man washed. It won't be dangerous to camp here."

Old Hansen felt at ease. He really didn't find any traces of beasts and monsters these days, but he didn't want to risk staying in the wild for more than 100 days. He simply became a free man. When he returned, he was afraid that even his home would be occupied. Old Hansen knew that there were still many free people relatives living in the village head's house, but they didn't follow the team.

"Captain Sean, we also hit a lot of prey, and so many wild vegetables and fruits. Just take them back. Shall we go back in batches?" Old Hansen asked tentatively.

Sean's heart was chuckle, the village was already full of people. He brought people out to supplement the food in the village, and on the other hand, let the old Hansen go away. Anyway, the village's father has the final say, and the interior official only accepts the sacrifice, and it is always irrelevant to the following population reduction.

"It takes five days to go back to the village. How many people can eat and drink? Old Hansen, you are the best hunter in the village. The big guys are from the same village. You can't watch them starve to death outside?"

Old Hansen just wanted to talk, but he saw Sean touching the hilt of the sword around his waist with a smile. He remembered that Sean was the chief soldier in the village and the vassal of the noble master. Even if he killed him, he would only pay for a few cows.

"How many things are you going to take?" Old Hansen asked stiffly.

Sean said with a smile, "leave 20% for you and take the rest. You are a smart man. You know what to say and what not to say. Come on, the others are back. It's time for dinner."

Several hunting teams returned to the camp one after another. The smell of barbecue wafted in the camp. Everyone sat happily together. Except for a few people, most of them didn't know they had become free people.

Sean was enjoying delicious barbecue and delicious mushroom soup. A man in charge of the guard ran over in a panic.

"Lord Sean! No, someone's coming!"

The camp became messy. Sean and his men roughly pushed away the women and children in the way, quickly dressed up, picked up weapons and walked out of the camp.

When he got outside the camp, Sean took a breath of air conditioning. He saw more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers coming here. They were strong and well-equipped. Their one handed spears glowed with indigo. The iron oak round shield had an all metal shield surface, and some people actually held terrible crossbows.

Elite! Better than the Lord's personal guard! Sean swallowed his saliva and shouted, "we are the leaders of the Buryat family. Who are you?"

A short, strong soldier with a hammer in his hand bared his teeth and said with a smile, "the leaders of the Buryat family ran to Randall to lead the poaching? It's brave enough. Put down your weapons and take your stolen things with us!"

Sean turned his eyes and shouted, "this is the territory of the Buryat family. This forest is our hunting ground. Who are you?"

"I'm the captain of Lord Randall's escort, hammer!" The hammer pointed to the short tailed deer cub hanging on the wooden frame and said coldly, "I've never seen anyone killing young deer and female deer in my hunting ground. You are some mean thieves! I say again, put down your weapons!"

At this time, dozens of men with hunting bows rushed out of the camp and surrounded Sean and others. Seeing the large number of people on his side, Sean was bold and strong. When he looked at the soldiers opposite, his eyes changed from timidity to greed. The equipment on those soldiers made him particularly jealous.

"There are many of us! Kill all these bandits."

With Sean's roar, the battle broke out and soon ended. Three monkey militia rushed into Sean's team like tigers and sheep. Hundreds of pounds of equipment were as light as nothing on them. They quickly avoided the dense arrows. Their opponents with refined iron one handed spears cried for their parents. Occasionally, several arrows were shot on the soldiers behind. They couldn't help the lock armor made of refined iron. After five crossbows shot five people opposite, they chose to kneel down and surrender.

Equipment rolling, force rolling, fighting is like this, there is no suspense. If it were not for the hammer's warning in advance, it would only be a matter of time before the three monkey militia killed all these people. Unless these people can be as fierce and fearless as ant people, they may hurt the monkey militia. As far as melee combat is concerned, the monkey militia who began to practice the simplified hide form of the ox has surpassed the vast majority of trainee knights.

The hammer smacked his mouth in boredom, looked at the monkey militia with great envy, and ordered, "let them take things with us and we'll go back to the camp."

At noon the next day, the hammer escorted the poachers back to the camp. Victor has been busy cultivating the green moon. He didn't take time to deal with it until the evening.

"My Lord, the above is what I tortured." Said detective barrow respectfully.

Victor sighed. He was ready to accommodate the free people, but he didn't want to start with killing. A few days ago, Victor knew as soon as these people entered Randall's collar, but he didn't expect there would be a vassal of the Buryat family. They wanted to take their prey away, which was why Victor took tough measures. In order to obtain the population, Victor could tolerate the free people, but could not tolerate the aggression of other families, especially the Buryat family who had calculated on himself.

According to Sean, most of these people are not free people. They are villagers of rota village, which is a village of the Buryat family. Because of the lack of food, they went to Victor's territory to carry out poaching and poaching. Of course, Sean insisted that the forest was the territory of the Buryat family. At the same time, he also revealed that Austin, viscount Buryat's brother, had been successfully promoted to Silver Knight, hoping to threaten barrow to release him.

"Barol, do the villagers know that they have been driven out by the village head?" Asked victor.

Barol bowed and replied, "Sir, I have told them that they are very frightened and angry. The vast majority of people are willing to stay with us as free people. In addition, eight people are Sean's confidants. They are completely obedient to Sean."

Victor asked again, "do you have any suggestions?"

"My Lord, most of these people are the leaders of the Buryat family. I think it's better to drive them away, because they probably just eat here. After the water season, most of them will still escape. In addition, taking in the leaders of other families will be regarded as provocation." Barol said.

Victor couldn't help laughing. "I can't sit back and watch the people of the Buryat family starve to death. Whether it's the collar people or the free people, since I'm here, I'll give him a bite to eat. Let them go if they want to go."

"Hammer, that Sean is the vassal of the Buryat family. He's a gentleman. Let go. Let go of those who want to go with him. Don't forget to remind them that it's not safe in the wild." Victor glanced at the hammer next to him and said faintly.

"My Lord, I'll release them now." The hammer said with a grim smile and strode out.

Victor nodded with satisfaction. Although the hammer looked honest and honest, he was not a kind person. In fact, there were no kind-hearted people in the War Bear mercenaries, even the charming Lilia, who didn't blink. So Victor didn't worry about hammer misunderstandings.

"Don't go when you come. Just take a bite. It's so cheap." Victor whispered to himself.
