Chapter 608 Happiness is Comparable

Redbeard and the others were indeed very stubborn, they would rather go hungry than betray their tribe members, and were even prepared to be tortured.

However, what they didn't expect was that after they rejected the proposal of the black-clothed imperial man, the other party didn't make it difficult for them anymore.

Even their food supply was restored two days later.

It's just that the food put in front of them this time made their faces look ugly.

– Acorn Rye Cake.

This is the most common staple food among the savage tribes in the Longji Mountains. Because rye is better able to adapt to the cold environment than wheat and requires less soil, it is also planted on a large scale by the savages.

However, simply growing rye is not enough for the entire tribe to eat, so they mixed some acorn powder into the rye cake, and combined with the animal meat obtained from hunting in the mountains, they preserved it through smoking.

In this way, the people in the tribe can barely fill their stomachs.

Of course, this is only when the weather is good. If the harvest is not good and there is not enough food, they can only plunder each other, or go down the mountain together to rob those dwarves.

After eating the familiar hometown delicacies again, Hongbeard and others did not feel warm and happy at all.

Because the food was robbed by those empires. The robbed was a tribe named Giant Crow, which was very famous in the vicinity. There were 800 people in the tribe.

But this time they faced more than ten times as many enemies as them, and most of the warriors in the giant crow tribe followed the dwarves to block the mountain pass.

The rest are old and young, and even less able to resist.

He could only watch helplessly as the female lord emptied all their food reserves, leaving them no grain of wheat.

An old savage wanted to step forward to stop him, but was kicked to the ground by the soldiers of the empire. However, the old savage still hugged the thigh of the soldier in front of him, and pointed to a female savage with a big belly behind him, pleading bitterly.

But all he got in return was a brutal beating.

Seeing this scene, the faces of Redbeard and the others became even uglier, although they were not members of the Giant Crow Tribe, and some even had enemies with the Giant Crow Tribe.

However, the savages who belonged to the Longji Mountains saw the catastrophe of the giant crow tribe, and they couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

It's just winter, and spring is still very early. If all the stored food is lost at this time, most people in the giant crow tribe will starve to death.

Only the strongest warriors or young women are likely to find new tribes to accept them.

This is why the old wild man is so desperate, because like him, and the pregnant female wild man, it is difficult to find a new place to live.

Seeing this, the female lord couldn't help feeling compassionate, and the excitement after grabbing the food also eased a lot.

This was the second time she felt the cruelty of war, and the last time was when she heard the sad news of the death of Marquis Cullen.

Du Lun is someone who has been there. He noticed Miss Rabbit's loss, and he took the initiative to say, "Leave the rest of the looting to me. You can take people here to rest for a while."

"No," Miss Rabbit shook her head, "I've killed a dragon, and I'm also the champion of the tournament, so I'm not that fragile."

"But war is a completely different thing," said the former imperial guard. "As the commander, any order from you may change the fate of many people, especially when the desire for victory conflicts with the morality in your heart. It’s easy to feel distressed.”

"How did you solve this problem?" the female lord humbly asked for advice.

"You have heard of the name of the Silver Knight, right?" Duran said, "He has all the virtues of a knight, and like many people, I admire him very much and tried to imitate him when I was young.

"But then I found that I couldn't be him, especially after I became the head of the Royal Guard, I chose to remain absolutely loyal to His Majesty, which meant that I had to give up some things, some very precious things."

Miss Rabbit showed a thoughtful look when she heard the words, "Is this why you still choose to stand up and testify against Gals, knowing that you may implicate your wife, daughter, and the family behind it?"

"This is the path I have chosen, and your path should be chosen by yourself," Du Lun said.

The female lord first frowned in thought, and then showed a look of hesitation, as if she was engaged in a fierce inner struggle, but in the end her brows were loosened again.

"Do you have an answer?"

"No." Miss Rabbit added after a pause, "But I know who to listen to when I'm not sure, that's enough.

"Help me gather those savages, and tell them that only by doing what I say, can they have enough food, and by the way, they can get two days off for a week."

After robbing the giant crow tribe, the female lord recruited a group of people on the spot with their food as wages to take down a savage tribe.

The soldiers of the empire are mainly responsible for pressing the formation in the back to prevent those wildlings from escaping halfway.

But they were a bit over-concerned. Without food, those savages would starve to death even if they escaped. Even without those imperial people following behind, they would have to go desperately with their neighbors now.

Moreover, the giant crows belonged to a large tribe nearby. Even though there were not many young and strong left, there were even fewer other tribes, so Miss Rabbit's robbery plan went very smoothly.

When she grabbed the fifth tribe, Redbeard and the others finally couldn't sit still.

Those savages now understood that it was not because of bad luck that the giant crow tribe was hit by this imperial army.

It's that these imperial people really have a way to find out those tribes hiding in the mountains.

This conclusion made Redbeard and others feel deep fear.

They couldn't figure out how the other side did it, but the facts were presented in front of them, so they couldn't help but believe it.

And if they continue to grab it like this, sooner or later it will be their tribe's turn.

Like the giant crow tribe, of course they couldn't resist the imperial army, so the wildling captives all panicked.

Some people clamored to see Li Yu.

It's a pity that this time just happened to coincide with Li Yu's holiday on Saturday and Sunday, and it would be eight days before the prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect returned.

Miss Rabbit is already used to eating acorn rye cakes. The taste of this thing is average, and it must not be compared with bread, but it is not the time to be picky eaters.

The female lord set an example and led a group of nobles to eat first, so the people below didn't complain anymore.

And happiness is all about comparison. Looking at those hungry savages, and then looking at the acorn rye cake in my hand, I immediately feel that this unremarkable cake has become delicious.
