Mountain and Forest Kingdom

A car pulled by three men moved slowly on the stone road.

The roads here are not like those muddy roads in the south. The coolies pulling the carts have become much more relaxed since they entered this cold kingdom of ice and snow.

Apart from the cold wind and snow here, there is no need to worry about anything else.

On the left and right sides of the car were two strong knights, followed by several knights riding bird-lizard beasts, and a dozen walking knights' retinues.

The team soon stopped on a hillside, from where they could see the villages and towns under the plain ahead.

At the window of the carriage, a cold man was looking at the village shrouded in wind and snow in the distance.

In front of the village there is a giant tree two meters wide and more than fifty meters high.

Near the giant tree were houses made of stone and wood. It was just noon, and hundreds of families were cooking and eating. Hot white steam came out of the chimneys of the two- and three-story wooden houses.

These houses are located in rows. Unlike some barbarian longhouses near Pig Trotter City, they look more comfortable, as if they were built just a few years ago.

Andy roughly observed it for a while. There were more than 150 houses here, and every household seemed to have food. There might be more than a thousand people.

"It seems that this is Pumixiu Town."

Andy was certain.

There is a fifty-meter-long tree here. The big tree does look a bit like a giant in the wind and snow.

The number of people is also right. It is said that Pumixiu Town has one or two thousand people. It has clean residences and houses, a lively market and smooth roads.

Andy put down the curtain and tightened the fur robe tightly. "Find a place to wait until dark. Don't be discovered by those savages. I don't think their stupid brains can discover us."

After Andy's words, the team members quickly found an unused hunting cabin.

The day here is very short, it starts to get dark at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it doesn't take long for it to be five o'clock in the dead of night.

Andy quickly led the knights to carefully approach the barbarian village and the giant tree.

"There are indeed traces of witchcraft, but it is obviously the power of the witch. The wizard will only create wilder giant trees."

Andy withdrew his hand and began to carefully sneak into the town to investigate.

There are no traces of wizards in the village, and the strong smell of barbarians is everywhere.

"Go back! What Taboor said is right. There is no wizard here, and there is no land given by God. It's just some good-growing wheat!"

The Holy Light Church's secret investigation ended quickly.

These people have been deep into the barbarian kingdom for a long time, and have seen more than ten villages in the Sidel territory.

After discovering the town in front of us, everyone felt that the number of people exceeded 10,000, and it was already unbearably cold here! !

So this is the legendary town of Pumixiu!

Even though the journey was smooth and no barbarians or beasts were encountered, three people in the convoy had already frozen to death.

Some people sleep here and never wake up again.

Andy has a deep understanding of the coldness of the Ice Land. If you want to defeat these barbarians here, you must not choose winter!

The heavy snow quickly covered the footprints and wheel marks of these poor people. They were so frozen that they left this icy land with biting wind and shivering.

The next day, the weather cleared up, and the children in Nanzhen came out to play in the snowball fights. Men and women also began to come out to clear the snow, clean up the woodshed, and feed the sheep and pigs.

This is South Town, a peaceful little village, an inconspicuous little place that often appears in Lawrence's various plans.

A few days later, a team obviously composed of foreigners walked into the safe area of ​​Nanzhen.

"Who are you?" Sam, a villager from Nanzhen, looked at these approaching strangers. There were more than 20 strangers, and they all looked like men. They were all wearing tattered and dirty fur clothes.

The men with axes and shields soon continued to approach.

Rickel showed the two stone axes in his hand, "Robbery!! Kill them!"

Sam looked at these people in shock. After being stunned for a second, he quickly reacted.

"Robber! A robber is coming! Come out quickly!"

Sam turned around in horror and ran away, shouting quickly to alert the men and women in nearby houses.

After hearing the shouts of the people here, Ricker shouted excitedly: "Charge! Steal their food and iron tools! There are treasures everywhere here!"

The surrounding bandits were also inspired by the coward's frightened cries. At this time, under the call of the leader, they quickly headed towards the town to kill.

Food, women, wine, weapons, clothes, all taken away! !

"Robber? Robbery?" Richard, the mayor of South Town, looked in disbelief and quickly said angrily: "Sam! Are you drunk?!"

When Sam didn't know how to argue, men's shouts and women's screams came from outside, and even the livestock began to bark.

Richard quickly realized something was wrong and said in horror: "Damn it! If this place is ransacked by bandits, how should I explain to the prophet? Our souls will be eaten by crows! We will never be able to go to the Star Palace."

"Damn it!" Richard quickly picked up the stick he used to supervise the work of the woodcutter, "Get out! Kill those damn robbers!"

Without Richard's orders, a large number of construction workers and lumberjacks gathered here in Nanzhen, and there were also people stationed here to assist in production and construction.

Although only a few people actually participated in the war, there is no problem with morale here, nor is there any problem with the organization and the quality of the soldiers.

Several veterans quickly ran out with weapons, and were stunned when they saw there were only a dozen bandits.

There are more than a thousand people here in Nanzhen. Even if some of them go to Pumixiu Town to spend the winter, or to support construction in Sder Town further south, the total number of workers, soldiers and farmers in the town is still three to four hundred people.

They had always fought with less, but now after discovering that these more than twenty people dared to rob themselves, a group of men and women wearing thick coats quickly gathered together.

The adults in Nanzhen quickly surrounded these bandits. There were seven to eight hundred men and women in total, and many of them looked very strong.

Ricker looked at the stone ax in his hand, and then at the iron axes and iron swords in the hands of those around him. He quickly swallowed and looked nervously at the hundreds of people.

Soon after the first Nanzhen man took action, the situation began to get out of control.

Blood and flesh spattered, and various farm tools and iron tools quickly hit the men who were forced to retreat together.

Head, neck, shoulders, arms, back, chest... Whether they resisted or not, these people were quickly beaten to death on the dirty snow by the men and women.

Richard shouted loudly, "Leave two alive! Report to the prophet! Even one will do! One must be able to speak!"

In the end, Rickel, who huddled deep inside, survived. After being beaten up by the people in Nanzhen, he was taken to Phumexiu Town and handed over to the holy prophet for trial.

Lawrence happened to be training with the young future warriors in the church, and was stunned for two or three seconds after hearing Richard's report.

"People outside are robbing us? Or are they from the south?"

Lawrence quickly asked someone to bring the robber up, wondering why these people chose his side as a target.

Since ancient times, the North has looted the South, and now the South is starting to loot the North. This is a bit contrary to common sense, and the following is wrong.
