Working Prophet

The female lord mainly listened to Morse's story about his previous battle with the savages.

According to Morse, Marquis Cullen brought people into the mountains just to recover those guys above, so he didn't bring too many supplies.

However, they did not return until the next afternoon. Morse realized that they might have encountered some trouble, but at that time he was relatively optimistic.

After all, this time Marquis Cullen brought an army of 10,000, and they were all elites from various families. They were strong soldiers and horses, and their opponents were only some savages in the mountains.

Morse guessed that they might have been attacked by the savages on the way. After winning easily, they simply chased the savages all the way to their lair.

Until another day passed, and there was still no news from Marquis Cullen, Morse finally became anxious.

One hundred people were left behind at Solid Stone Castle, and another two hundred men were escorted into the mountains to search for the army with a batch of food and supplies.

However, they had only walked for half a day when they ran into the savages, whose combat effectiveness had not changed much from before. Morse quickly repelled their first wave of attacks.

But relying on their familiarity with the terrain and their numerical advantage, the savages launched a second and third wave of attacks.

Morse's side was becoming increasingly difficult to cope with. After losing about thirty men and being hit by an arrow in his arm, Morse had to throw away some food, exit the Dragon's Back Mountains, and return to Solid Rock Castle.

The savages did not chase them out, and Morse speculated that their manpower might not be particularly large.

In addition, there was still a large army besieging Marquis Cullen, so Morse hoped that Ilea could lead people into the mountain immediately.

The female lord was about to agree, but then she heard Du Lun cough next to her, so she changed her mind and asked, "Where's Big Hand? Where is he now?"

Morse didn't understand why Ilea was so concerned about the newly arrived groom, but he still said patiently.

“I heard Master Hells say that he could understand the words of those savages, so I asked him to help interrogate the imprisoned savages.

"But it turned out that the boy said that his mother was not from the same tribe as the captured savages, and he couldn't understand what those people were talking about."

"Do the languages ​​used by the savage tribes differ from each other?" The female lord was surprised, "Then how did they get together this time?"

"I don't know, and now is not the time to care about such things."

Miss Rabbit nodded, "No matter what, he knows more about Longji Mountain and the savages inside than we do. I still plan to take him with me into the mountain this time. In addition, Sir Morse, please lend me ten more prisoners." ."

"Why do you want prisoners? Those savages can't communicate with us at all. They are no different from wild beasts. Moreover, they are wild and untamable, and they are very dishonest. Be careful to cause trouble for you on the road."

Having said that, Morse quickly asked someone to pick out ten prisoners and bring them.

The female lord took a quick look and found that all of them looked unruly and unruly. There was also one person who took advantage of Miss Rabbit when she was not prepared and spat at her after being brought here.

Fortunately, the female lord reacted quickly enough and ducked sideways in advance.

Then the girl took out the hand of judgment from her waist and fired a shot at the wooden fence next to the savage.

The huge roar and the flames coming out of the gun barrel startled the savages. The female savage who spat at the female lord before was even more stunned.

Then she touched her neck and found a wet patch there. She brought her palm to her eyes and saw that it was her own blood.

She turned to look at the wooden fence on the side. It had been beaten to pieces, and the flying wood chips scratched the skin of her neck.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and it was not dangerous after being bandaged.

But the way the savages looked at the female lord was different, as if they were sizing up a ferocious beast, and no one dared to make any small moves anymore.

At the same time, Morse, who was immersed in anxiety and uneasiness on the other side, was shocked when he witnessed this scene and opened his mouth to praise.

"You are worthy of being the champion of the tournament. With Sir Ilea taking action, I believe we can successfully rescue the Marquis and the others this time!"

The female lord skillfully inserted the duel pistol back into the wallet at her waist, and said seriously, "I already understand the situation on your side. Let's rest here for half a day and go into the mountains early tomorrow morning."

Soon the ten savages were taken down again and locked in a cell alone.

The so-called cell was actually a fence surrounded by a few sharpened pieces of wood. It was not impossible to break out with the skill of those savages.

So the guards put shackles on them and tied them with chains to a thick wooden post in the center of the cell.

In addition, archers have been arranged to keep an eye on their actions, and so far there have been no major troubles.

The ten savages didn't know whether it was because they knew they couldn't escape, or they were frightened by the judgmental hand in the hands of the female lord in the afternoon. They all behaved silently after returning.

Everyone looked listless, and it wasn't until after nightfall that two savages began to whisper to each other.

Both of them came from a tribe called Mist Snakes, and they were brother and sister. The female wildling among them was the one who spat at the female lord before.

She asked her brother Redbeard, "Did you see it?"

"what did you see?"

"That black iron pipe, that terrible woman put thunder and fire inside."

"I don't think the nobles in the Western Region are so capable. We have fought against them before, and they only bullied us because their equipment and weapons were better than ours, and they had more people than us." Red Beard said.

"That female noble is different, and she seems to be the leader of the new army. What do you think he wants to do by singling us out? Is he planning to kill us to boost the morale of her men?"

"I don't know." Redbeard's expression was a little downcast. He considered himself a warrior and was not afraid of death. However, when this moment really came, he found that he was not as brave as he thought.

As if aware of her brother's nervousness and uneasiness, the female savage stretched out her arms and hugged the latter, pressing the red-bearded head against her chest.

"I said we should hold the wedding before going down the mountain, but you told me to wait until we go back. Now it's fine, we can't go back.

"Tell me honestly, are you still obsessed with that bitch Shana? Did you secretly sleep with her behind my back?"

"What's the point of talking about this now." Redbeard said angrily, "Our tribe is about to win, but we can't wait until that day comes."
