Lord of the North
Chapter 96: Sheep Hunting
"Let's go, let's go to Erbia to take a look. The town will be handed over to you during this time." After relaxing for a few days, Jason also decided to devote himself to busy work again.
"Yes, my lord, you can rest assured to leave the affairs of Iron Fang Town to me." Lancelot bowed and saluted.
Jason went to Erbia this time to inspect the construction progress of Erbia, and to see how the casino construction work is going.
Tieya Town has produced various entertainment tools. In addition to poker games with competitive elements, there are also some simple character-fighting games, such as roulette.
Jason only brought ten guards and Lang Nat to follow him when he went out this time, and he will be able to arrive in Irbia soon with light clothes. Alexis originally wanted to follow, but was rejected. Follow Lancelot here to continue penance.
"Alexis must be obedient at home, and visit Uncle Barry and the others when he has time." He looked at Alexis and told him that Uncle Barry was the best person to her before Jason took her in. Yes, Alexis has been busy with his penance lately and rarely visits him.
"Yeah!" Alexis nodded vigorously, expressing that she knew that she often met Uncle Barry at the barracks, but Jason didn't know it.
"In this case, let's set off." After Jason finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left first. Lang Nat and others followed immediately, and the group rode away without even using a carriage.
"My lord, be careful all the way." Lancelot bowed towards their backs to see them off.
"Goodbye, brother."
...
"This snow is really heavy." After walking out of the town for a long time, Jason looked at the endless snow field in front of him and said with emotion.
After this heavy snowfall, the whole world was turned into a vast expanse of whiteness, and there were still footprints of some small animals on the snow. They came out to look for food after the snow.
"The north is covered by this kind of heavy snow every year." A middle-aged guard behind him said aloud. In the past few years, when there was heavy snowfall, some residents' houses would be crushed, but Jason spent a lot of money to renovate the residents' houses and rebuild them. Major actions such as planning towns have led to the fact that no one's house has collapsed in this snowstorm this year.
"Will there be a few more heavy snowfalls this winter?" Jason was a little worried. In this way, the houses in Erbia might not be able to withstand the amount of snowfall. After all, there are still mostly wooden houses there, and brick and stone houses are not available due to time constraints. Fully universal, building houses for thousands of people is no small feat.
"It's just winter, and there should be a few heavy snowfalls." The guard said again. He is a local and has the most right to speak.
"Then we must prepare measures to deal with the snow disaster as soon as possible." Jason looked at the misty sky. If there is no accident, the Northland will be shrouded in such clouds throughout the winter.
"In the past, people would be homeless due to snowstorms every year, and finally freeze to death on the side of the road." The guard's tone was lost. He was talking about decades ago, when the kingdom didn't pay much attention to this place.
The appointed political officials are also hiding in big cities such as Lucca, and no one cares about this place anyway. Finally, Sir Orchi came, and the lives of these people became even more difficult.
Not only those who died of freezing, but also those who died of starvation.
Jason was silent when he heard the words. No matter how powerful the kingdom is, it cannot be perfect in every aspect.
Leading troops to fight abroad all the year round, in an attempt to expand the country's territory, has wiped out four or five small countries in a row for decades.
But it also caused the domestic economy to be overburdened. Fortunately, there are many no wars in the north, but production is more difficult, but this is not the case in other places.
Known as the No. 1 military power in the North, Lopez is actually not as powerful as it appears on the surface, especially in this era when the monarchy is very centralized. Some troops can only be mobilized only by the king's handwriting.
The army is powerful, but most of the domestic nobles are rotten.
"My lord, we have settled for our lunch." Just as Jason was thinking about this matter, Lang Nat said aloud.
He saw Jason frowning, looking very distressed, and couldn't help distracting him by making noises.
"What?" Jason looked up with a confused look on his face. He was distracted just now and scolded himself for thinking these useless things.
The interior of the royal city is now firmly controlled by the Garcia family, and I can't even get in touch with that mysterious uncle, so it is the right way to work hard to strengthen myself.
Otherwise, no matter how much you think, your strength is too weak, and you will be helpless when the soldiers come to the city.
Not surprisingly, one day in the future, I will definitely face off against my brother.
"I said our lunch is settled." Lang Nat repeated, and pointed to the distance.
Jason looked along his fingers, and there were three snow sheep looking around with their ears a hundred meters away. They should have noticed Jason and his party and were observing whether they were in danger and considering whether to escape.
"Snow sheep." Jason looked at these strong snow sheep, and felt that the halazi was about to come down. He had eaten this kind of animal before, and it was roasted by Mayor Dia. It tasted very delicious, not like ordinary lamb. Smell.
The most important thing is that they live in the mountains and are difficult to catch. These three should have run down because of the lack of food on the mountain.
"Confidence to catch them?" Jason asked.
"Put it on me." Langnut whispered, and took off the bow and arrow hanging from the horse. This is a bow made by Rodney and the bow master in the town. It is steel mixed with some other metals. Bows and arrows are specially prepared for people like Lang Nat who are born with supernatural power.
I saw Lang Nat calmly staring at the two snow goats in the distance, while the surrounding guards did not dare to take a breath. They had never seen the true strength of this big man who suddenly appeared.
So you can take this opportunity to learn about their "airborne" immediate boss.
After observing for a while, Lang Nat drew three iron arrows from the quiver, then got off his horse and walked towards the two snow sheep. He had absolute confidence in himself.
The snow sheep also found the human being walking towards them, and instantly became restless, stomping on their hooves, and finally fled away.
The guards were full of disappointment when they saw this scene. This is not what a qualified hunter would do. Even if you want to get close to the prey, you have to walk lightly and hide your figure, right?
What the hell is this swaggering movement?
Unfortunately, the next scene made their eyes widen.
"Whoosh!"
Lang Nat didn't say a word, he bent his bow and set up his arrow and shot it without much aim. Just when everyone thought he was giving up on himself, a snow sheep happened to appear in the arrow's trajectory and was shot through instantly. He fell to the ground with a neck injury.
"Whoosh!" Before everyone could react, there were two more voices breaking through the air.
Until the last snow goat fell to the ground, only the sound of the guards spitting was left on the snow, and besides that, there was the sound of Lang Nat's feet stepping on the snow.
The snow goats don't run in a straight line, they jump around everywhere, even the best hunters are helpless when encountering the running snow goats.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." He returned to Jason, bowed and said.
"very nice."
Jason raised his eyebrows. He could see that it was Lang Nat who was standing up. After all, if these guards could not be convinced, they would be hindered in the defense of the castle in the future.
"Do you guys know how to roast a whole lamb?" Jason turned his head and asked expectantly.
