Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Early morning, outside the village of Pumixiu.

A chaotic group of men, women, old people and young people gradually approached along the dirt road outside the village.

The strongest man in the group was Datan'an, Antler's son.

Datanan held an iron bow in one hand and touched the quiver with the other. He was wearing deerskin armor that had been passed down for twenty years, and the deerskin boots under his feet were also combat boots that were only used on a few occasions.

The cold and cold fingers ached, but they were quickly dispelled by the fighting spirit in his heart.

Barbarians who are qualified to take bows on the battlefield all have excellent archery skills.

When the sleeping town ahead just woke up, Datan'an took the lead in riding the few large moose left in the village.

"kill!"

The giant moose weighs more than 900 kilograms and is a very common large mount in the north. It is capable of both carrying and charging tasks!

Behind Da Tanan, a group of men and women holding hoes and wooden rakes quickly ran to follow.

It is only a hundred meters away from the town, and because of the cold winter, few people come out early in the morning.

The market is not open every day, and people only come together to exchange supplies at agreed times.

Datan'an rode on the back of the stag, and the bow and arrow in his hand quickly aimed at the first human he met.

Because of the snow on the hillside and the obstruction of buildings built near the village, the first Pumixiu man only discovered the charging foreigner when he was thirty meters away from Datanan.

This was an elderly woman who got up to feed the pigs and sheep. Her head was wrapped in a thick scarf that is very common here, and she was also wearing thick woolen clothes.

Her confused expression soon turned to panic. Only when she was more than ten meters away did she realize that this was not a passing traveler, but a robber!

"Ahhh!"

Whoosh!

A sharp arrow shot through her neck. The poor old woman tried to cover her neck with both hands. She soon lay on the cold ground, with only her fingers, legs and feet able to move a little.

The red blood spurting from the corpse made Datanan excited. He roared: "Kill!! Take back our food!"

After roaring loudly, Datan'an quickly rode the stag towards the distance, "Go to the blacksmith shop!"

A team of more than fifty bandits quickly dispersed into Pumixiu Town, bringing fighting and panic.

After plundering livestock and iron tools, Datanan set fire to the homes of these mountain people, leaving them to freeze to death in the wind and snow!

The robbers soon returned with their loads, and the Pumixiu who had fled and hid quickly gathered together.

Lawrence was burning charcoal outdoors and soon discovered that the sled dogs wandering nearby quickly ran down the mountain.

While running, these sled dogs barked excitedly.

Lawrence stood up and looked over there, and soon saw the two people riding Dom Sheep.

It was an old man and a young man. He couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but Lawrence was sure he didn't recognize them.

The three sled dogs seemed to have seen their family members and quickly followed the young man, wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

Lawrence stood by the smoldering fire and looked at the sun, which was no longer visible.

Are these two going to have dinner here?

"Salil! Someone is here, do you know him?" Lawrence called to the house, probably looking for Salil or Andrew.

When the two people at the bottom of the mountain approached, Salil and Sophia also stood at the intersection with Lawrence and waited.

Salil wiped her hands on her apron. She had been cooking just now, and there were still some water stains on her hands when she came over.

"Vip, Kate, are you looking for my father? He has gone out and will not come back for a while."

The old man rode a Dom sheep close to here, sat on the sheep's back and said in a deep voice: "Sariel, I know Andrew is not here, but today the town was attacked by the Kurds, and the blacksmith shop and tavern were looted."

"The blacksmith's family was burned to death, now we want revenge!"

Vip looked at Salil and then at Lawrence who was standing aside.

"According to our agreement with Andrew, when the village is attacked, every family must send a man. If there is no man, there will be a woman!"

Salil frowned, but quickly said: "Okay, I'll go."

Vip was not surprised by Sariel's cheerfulness. This was a woman with Andrew's blood flowing through her, and she was destined not to be a weak woman.

"Very good." Vip looked at Lawrence again, "Young man, we are going to avenge that group of arrogant thieves. Are you willing to join us?"

Lawrence had no choice and said naturally: "Yes, but I want to know how many of us there are and how many people are on the opposite side?"

Kate, the young man next to him, said: "There are more than fifty Kur people. We were attacked because we were drunk and unconscious. The anger in the hearts of the warriors in the village can burn all the Kur people to death!"

Salil looked at the young man and asked, "Kate, is your father okay?"

Kate said: "Very good, he just suffered a little head injury. Two of the thieves who attacked our house today were bitten to death by a pack of dogs, although one dog also died."

"If the blacksmith hadn't been drunk, he would never have been killed by those bandits!" Kate was very angry.

Sariel looked at Lawrence and Sophia, "I can go by myself. You guys wait for me at home. Uncle Doug and the others will lead them. Those Kur people are no match for us."

Lawrence didn't back down, that day would come sooner or later.

"I'll go too, and Sofia will stay at home waiting for us."

Vip naturally wanted more people to join and said directly: "Leave now, we won't let those lowly idiots live another day!"

Sofia was very scared and grabbed Lawrence's arm tightly with both hands, "I want to go too! Please, take me with you!"

Salil said angrily: "No! You are too young!"

Lawrence also didn't want Sophia to go to dangerous places. They were not going shopping for a date, but to fight.

Kate, who was riding on Dom Sheep, turned impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense! My father is still waiting for me! My brother is dead, and I must kill those Kur people today!"

Kate quickly rushed out, and he ran directly in the direction of Pumexiu Town.

The three sled dogs followed happily and went home together.

Lawrence looked at Salil, "Let's go together. This is not the first time Sophia has seen combat. I think we should all get used to it."

Salil hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Sophia, "Sofia, do you really want to go with us?"

Sophia nodded very firmly, "I want to come together!"

Salil said helplessly: "Okay, I'll get the weapon, wait for me for a while."

Vip waited for a while, and soon Salil took out a wooden shield and ax inlaid with iron plates from the main room.

Saryl gave the shield to Sophia, who had two axes on her waist, and handed Lawrence a sword.

Lawrence, who was not picky about weapons, doused the firewood with water and followed him silently.

Sophia was riding on Dom Sheep, while Lawrence and Saryl were walking quickly to follow Vip's speed.

When we arrived at the town of Pumixiu, the people here had put out the fires burning everywhere, and the bodies of many men, women, and children could be seen on the ground.

There were also scattered grains and pieces of meat, as well as dirty blood stains.

Vip quickly went to the tavern to meet up. Lawrence and Saryl Sophia also saw the Emma family after entering the tavern.

The tavern was a little quiet, and when Lawrence came in, he found a dozen men looking at him.

Fortunately, these ferocious men had no intention of targeting him, especially after seeing him come in, their eyes became much softer.

Doug, the owner of the tavern, had a bloody cloth tied around his head. At this time, he shouted to everyone: "The new guys are here too. Now we have a good meal. After we are full, we will kill those Ku You people!!”

The men and women around him were all ready. At this time, their hatred was ignited by anger, and they quickly responded to Doug with a huge roar.

The tavern soon became chaotic. Strong women brought wine barrels and placed bloody mutton and pork on them.

The tradition of the barbarians is that men must fight and women must have families. If a man dies like now, then the little one will take the top spot.

The old and the young are all dead, so the woman will take over.

Those who refuse to fight will be ostracized by the tribe and suffer bullying in the village.

No one will sympathize with such a person even if he dies.

"Emma, ​​how is your family?" Lawrence asked Emma.

Emma herself was fine, but her eyes were still full of anger after hearing this question.

"The elderly and children in my family are dead, my brother's hand was cut off, and my friend Li'er in the village was captured by those Kur people!"

Emma said harshly: "My sheep were also killed!!! I'm going to kill those little breeds!"

There is no civilized solution and no law to reconcile it.

In this era and this region, hatred can only be resolved with revenge.

After everyone had eaten and drank, Doug picked up his double ax and kicked the table away.

"Let's go! Follow me and kill someone!"
