Reborn as a werewolf ancestor

Looking at the doubtful villagers in front of her, Catherine opened her mouth to explain.

"I have two main purposes for coming here. The first is to explore the situation in Obote Territory, and the second is to take in the refugees here based on the situation."

"You must have seen it, right? Most of this place has been destroyed by civil strife, the troops are completely missing, and the fields have been destroyed. It will take a long time to clean it up again."

"Why don't you follow us to Baron Regit and become our citizens. Compared to the dilapidated houses and scarce food sources here, there will be brand new houses and delicious food to accommodate you."

"What do you think?" Catherine asked.

The villagers here were already hungry. When they heard that there were houses and food, they immediately decided to follow them.

"I am willing to go with you, sir."

They all replied.

"Very good." Catherine smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately ordered the soldiers to distribute the remaining food in the territory to replenish the strength of these villagers.

After all, they would have to walk for a while, and with their current physical strength, they might not be able to walk within the territory at all.

Soon, these villagers started devouring their food. In order to ensure that they would not choke to death, Catherine also distributed some water to them.

After eating and drinking, all the villagers looked at Catherine with gratitude and looked forward to their future territory.

"Let's go to Baron Regit."

Catherine gave the order immediately.

"Yes, sir."

The soldier behind him replied loudly.

The group of people, plus the villagers behind them, began to move toward the northeast.

.........

It's night.

In the endless forest, a bonfire was slightly lit, sending out bursts of smoke upwards, and also providing a touch of warmth to the people around it.

Pushing aside the dense branches and leaves in front of them, Catherine and Marcus walked into the temporary camp with the soldiers behind them.

The soldiers on duty in front of them recognized the identities of the two men, so they did not stop them too much.

"I only hunted three elk, I hope we can eat them all," Catherine said.

"If you add in the seasonal vegetables I collected from the territory, it would be enough." Marcus speculated.

They handed the elk over to the soldiers for disposal, and the two returned to the campfire to warm themselves.

Originally, according to the progress of Catherine and others, they were able to return to Baron Regit before night came.

However, there were villagers following behind them, which also slowed down their forward speed.

Seeing that she could not arrive at Baron Regit before night, Catherine and Marcus decided to find a place to temporarily station after discussing with Marcus.

The villagers they brought still gathered together in twos and threes, relying on the campfire to keep warm, but it could be seen that their eyes were full of expectations for the future, and they also trusted Catherine and others.

Several soldiers worked together to carry the elk carcass to the river for cleaning, and then used long swords to cut the elk in front of them into small pieces of meat that could be eaten.

On the other side, the remaining soldiers worked together to build a simple stove. Fortunately, the accompanying villagers provided iron pots for everyone to cook, otherwise they would have to eat half-cooked barbecue.

They got some clean water and put the vegetables and meat into the pot.

In less than a moment, a burst of aroma wafted out from inside, making everyone swallow their saliva after a tiring day.

After the cooking was completed and the lid of the pot was opened, the soldiers who had been hungry all day stared at the meal.

The soldier in charge of cooking understood everyone's mentality at this moment, and immediately brought the dinner plates that had been prepared, poured the broth into them, and distributed them to the soldiers and villagers.

Catherine and Marcus were also very generous in letting the soldiers eat their meals first. As extraordinary beings, their body structures were more resistant to hunger than ordinary people, so they would not be too anxious.

Of course, the soldiers in charge of cooking would not really let the two officers starve on the sidelines. During the distribution, they also took the time to bring the broth, which was far more than ordinary people, to the two officers.

In this way, everyone in the camp happily enjoyed this delicious dinner.

After the meal, Catherine and Marcus discussed tomorrow's departure trip. After all, it was also a time to prepare for war, and it was better to rush back to the territory as soon as possible.

After the discussion, the two also arranged the night duty together, confirming that the soldiers would be on duty in the first half of the night and the cavalry team would be on duty in the second half of the night.

...........

In the early morning, the sky lit up slightly.

Several soldiers poured water into the bonfire to completely extinguish it.

Villagers in the distance are packing up and paying homage, waiting to set off.

The soldiers also gathered under Catherine's order.

After everyone was ready, Catherine and Marcus took the lead, and the group continued to move in the direction led by Regit.

This time it didn't take too long, mainly because everyone got a good rest last night, so the speed of travel was much faster.

This marching team arrived in the Regit Territory before noon. The villagers in the territory looked curiously at this group of people. No, it should be said that they were the refugees from Burke Village behind the team.

Catherine got off her horse and walked to the mayor of Maiko Village to discuss with him the resettlement of this group of refugees.

"Little Catherine, what's going on? Who is that large group of people behind you?" the old village chief asked doubtfully.

"Grandpa Odette, this is Lord Kane's plan. He wants to find some new sources of soldiers." Catherine replied.

The old village chief looked at the group of skinny villagers behind him, and they didn't look like soldiers at all.

"I'm not telling you, little Catherine, can these people be soldiers? They all look extremely weak."

Catherine smiled and explained: "Grandpa Odetti, you misunderstood. They are villagers from Burke Village under Leod's leadership. They have just experienced the crisis of civil strife and food shortage in the territory, so they are in this situation."

The old village chief said with relief: "That's it, eh... they are also poor people, having suffered so many hardships."

"Yes, Grandpa Odette, this time we are sending them to the territory, and we need you to work with me to resettle them."

The old village chief touched his chin and thought: "No wonder you asked me to build some houses quickly a few days ago. It turns out it is for these refugees."

Catherine heard what the other party said and quickly asked: "Oh? Grandpa Odette, how is the progress?"

"Only one or two of the newly built houses can be used, and there are still a few unoccupied empty houses in the village. This should be enough for these refugees to live in, right?"

"That's enough, that's enough." Catherine nodded repeatedly.

"They also need to be allocated farmland, but don't worry, Grandpa Odetti, our army can help these people open up new farmland."

When he heard that the other party wanted farmland, the old village chief frowned. He had to know that these fields were the property of his village, so how could outsiders be allowed to join them.

Fortunately, Catherine later mentioned that they could open it up themselves, and his brows relaxed.

"That's good. There is no farmland left in the village."

Catherine said: "Then please lead them to get familiar with the new house. I still need to report to Lord Kane."

"Got it, go ahead, little Catherine." (To be continued)
