Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Something quickly started burning by the river, and Lawrence and others went back to the house to rest.

Except for a few people patrolling with weapons, the rest took their weapons back to their respective resting places to keep warm and avoid the cold.

Lawrence was sitting on the sofa inspecting the contents of the basin. These were the trophies collected from Kate and others.

There were silver coins, amber and rings, daggers and knives.

After entering the house, Kohalan could no longer smell the stench outside, and sat down next to Lawrence in a carefree manner.

"Go to the Pumixiu people next?"

Lawrence said calmly: "Take a rest and go down after lunch."

Sofia brought the tea and put it on the table, "Master, drink tea."

"Yeah." Lawrence responded.

Sofia served Kohalan and Salil hot tea with dried berries in it.

Sofia didn't help much today and was very careful about the attitude of the others.

"Salil, what are you thinking about?" Sofia saw Salil sitting on the sofa opposite and not speaking, so she asked why.

Salil raised her head and said, "I was thinking about something. Kate knew about our hunt for seals today. Someone must have tipped him off, so he would come and kill us!"

"Who could it be?" Lawrence didn't know much about the five women last time, so he didn't know who wouldn't do such a thing.

It is most normal for someone to do this kind of thing, because this area and atmosphere are like this. Kate has meat and food, and he is a Pumixiu. The rest of Pumixiu grew up with him, so it is normal for him to help him.

Salil frowned and said, "I've been thinking about this. Except for Emma, ​​I don't understand the rest."

Lawrence didn't care about this kind of thing, because he thought it was possible for anyone, so he didn't care about who would inform.

After resting for a while, Lawrence and others took weapons and rode sheep and deer down the mountain.

Now his strength has greatly increased, and he can already do one person and one sheep!

Khalan no longer rode a ram but a newly captured moose.

Moose are more useful than sheep because they are bigger and eat more.

The nine people soon arrived near the house. After Lawrence entered the house, he found Kenny hacked to death inside the house.

"Gah~"

A crow standing on the window screamed, standing there quietly looking at everyone in the room, as if it had been here for a long time.

"Come here." Lawrence waved to summon the crow that he hadn't seen for several days.

Soon everyone closed the door and continued walking down the mountain.

No one felt sorry for Kenny... To everyone, Kenny's death was normal, nothing unusual, and nothing worthy of sympathy.

The crow stood on Lawrence's shoulder and waited. Seeing that Lawrence had no intention of feeding, it crowed a few more times.

Lawrence ignored it, and soon the crow took flight.

Khalan asked, "What did it say?"

Lawrence was at a loss for half a second before he realized the question.

Lawrence did not answer, but looked at the crow flying down the mountain.

"Go on, faster."

After Lawrence finished speaking, he rode the sheep and accelerated. It was only half an hour away from the town. If you go quickly, you would be there in ten minutes.

As soon as the nine men approached the square, Friesen and the blacksmith came out of the house and stood in the road.

Behind them stood the Pumishians, each carrying a weapon and shield.

Lawrence got off the sheep's back, mainly to guard against a sneak attack.

Sariel stands on the left with her shield, and Kharan stands on the right.

Under the protection of the shield girl, Lawrence walked to the front.

Friesen looked at Lawrence who was approaching and spoke first: "Lawrence, is Kate still alive?"

Lawrence said calmly: "I killed him in my manor."

Friesen was not surprised, "I heard your crow just now and I know you won. So if Doug comes back in the future, how are you going to explain to him?"

"I will kill him directly!" Lawrence expressed his thoughts seriously, "Doug's people came to my manor to assassinate me and kill my people! I will also go to Dumu Village to kill Doug's people. ."

"Gah~"

The crow stood on the roof and made meaningless calls, looking for something to eat, but not even a mouse could be seen.

Because of the crow's cry, the Pumixiu people looked at Lawrence even more timidly.

The crow quickly lowered his head to preen his feathers, maybe because his wings were itchy.

Friesen quickly said: "Now that Doug is gone and Vip and Kate are dead, Lawrence, will you accept us?"

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I'm just here to stop you from killing each other!"

"I heard that you were killing each other for food, and I heard that Doug and Kate were going to kill more people and let those who couldn't eat starve to death, so I came here."

"If you are willing to accept my rule and blessing, then come with me to Dumu Village!"

Friesen dropped his axe, "I will follow you, Prophet!"

As Friesen gave up, the rest of the Pumixiu people also gave up resistance because of Lawrence's strength.

The blacksmith, still holding the hammer, shouted to Lawrence: "What about the Valkyrie?"

"What can we do? Fight!" Lawrence shouted loudly: "As long as the Valkyries are here, they will not allow us to live better than them!"

"If they dare to come here, we will kill them! Otherwise we will be like this winter, unable to eat!"

"We can't defeat the Valkyries," said the blacksmith.

"If you don't want to fight, then you will die!" Lawrence stopped reasoning and pointed directly at the blacksmith, "Coward!"

The blacksmith blushed with shame, quickly put down his weapon and said, "I dare to fight the Valkyries!"

The Pumi Xiu people have no leader now. If Kate takes them to attack the manor, these people will actually join them.

But in the traditional concept, there is no way to go out in full force. If it fails, they will all be destroyed, and the remaining women and children will definitely die.

On the one hand, they are simple-minded and barbaric, but they still maintain traditions in some aspects, and some people will be left to look after slaves and livestock.

Just like hunting, a small number of people are concentrated to fight.

Lawrence quickly entered the town and rescued the tied up Emma, ​​Bull and others, and the informer was soon hacked to the ground in front of everyone.

The barbarians, inspired by the blood, quickly gathered and rushed to Dumu Village, killing Doug's son, grandson, and male relatives.

Everyone lit a bonfire under the stars and ate meat.

Kahalan asked: "There are many dogs barking here, what should I do?"

Lawrence said: "There are three that I have raised that I will not kill, and I will kill the rest!"

"Don't kill my dog!" a woman shouted loudly.

Lawrence looked over there. The women in Dumu Village were pulled outside, shivering in the cold wind.

But there are also people who are not afraid of death and shout at this side.

Lawrence looked at the woman. She was an older woman who looked to be in her thirties, with long golden-gray hair and rough skin.

"You want to die with your dog?" Lawrence asked the woman.

The woman quickly calmed down and lowered her head, not daring to resist.

Salil asked curiously: "Ai Ali? Who is this woman? Why haven't I seen her?"

Ai Ali is now a prisoner and said honestly: "Her name is Brick. She is the woman Doug bought from the Snow Cave people. She has been raising dogs for Doug. She is also Kate's woman."

After hearing this, Lawrence said: "If you raise dogs for me, I will not kill those dogs, nor will I kill you."

Brick said quickly: "Okay, I will raise a dog for you, if you don't kill me."

The blacksmith stared at Ai'ali from the side. The Snow Cave people were very rough-looking, but Ai'ali was recognized as a beauty among the Pumixiu people.

"Lawrence, all the men have been killed. Now let's divide the women. I want Ai Ali!" The blacksmith directly wanted Kate's wife.

Ai Ali and the other women squatted on the ground obediently. Before she became Kate's woman, she was also the wife of another Pumixiu man, but that man died at the hands of the Kur people.

Lawrence refused directly: "No, I killed Kate. You came here this time and didn't help except killing some useless people."

The blacksmith was a little unhappy.

Lawrence didn't care about this man's mood and said directly to the others: "Everyone who comes with me can get meat and wine! Men, each of them has a barrel of wine!"

The wine at Friesen's house had long been finished by Yongye, and now he excitedly shouted: "Oh!!!"

There is no shortage of women in the village. Those who dare to fight have snatched female slaves from the west, or have won the favor of the women in Pumixiu Town.

If there are more women, they will still eat food. After experiencing this eternal food shortage crisis, the remaining people are more willing to order more food and wine.

Although it was dark and cold, Lawrence presided over the meeting to divide the spoils.

Doug's food and wine were distributed among the men and women who came with them, and Lawrence received the rest of the spoils.

There were also some hounds that reacted violently, and they were killed and distributed to Emma and Bull.

Including thatched houses, weapons, farm tools, jewelry, cloth, three cows, five sheep, six pigs, and eleven dogs.

Nine women, including Pumixiu women, Kur women, Dum women, and Xuedong women.

Lawrence found that, as Sariel said before, snow cave people were generally timid and docile, and easily accepted the change of owner.

They're okay with most things as long as they don't kill their dogs.

Because dogs are the only means of movement, snow cavers must constantly change camps to hunt and capture prey. Once they move slowly, they will starve to death.

At the same time, dogs also serve as hunting partners, helping people hunt snow bears and seals together, discovering the seals' breathing vents, and even offering dog meat in critical situations.

Since he knew very well what would happen if he lost his dog, it was very crude and effective to threaten these snow cave people with dogs.

Lawrence asked everyone to go into the house to rest, and also drove the women into the house to warm themselves by the fire.

"Have a rest for the night and go back tomorrow."

Salil looked at the big house where she lived, "What should I do here?"

"Give up." Lawrence was very decisive. "We can't build two places at the same time, and we can't manage this place well."

“Draw the cattle, sheep, livestock and treasure back on sleds to continue building our estate.”

Salil said with a troubled look on her face: "What a pity... There are many houses here and a lot of things. You can also fish near the seaside."

Lawrence knows this very well, but he doesn't have such strong control now.

Especially here, whether it is a baron, Doug, or a pirate at sea, it is a huge risk.

The next day, the Snow Cave woman put on protective gear for the dog team, and then drove the dog cart quickly back to the foot of the mountain.

The dog team was very fast and could reach the bottom of the hillside near Andrew's house from the village of Dumu in twenty minutes.

Further up, due to the slopes, the sled dogs were unable to run wildly on the winding mountain roads.

But it’s really fast!
