Chapter 38 The Blood Wolf Clan

In the Annaba Mountains in the south of Yefeng County, there is a large basin with a series of wooden houses scattered here and there. A group of sallow and emaciated children, wearing rough sackcloth and barefoot around the campfire , looking helplessly at the yellow and orange fat sheep roasting on the bonfire.

Beside them, there were several large carriages, and a group of armored men were happily carrying barrels of fine wine from the carriages. On their breastplates, a wolf's head was engraved impressively.

In one of the wooden houses, the former thief and now the quasi-knight Hilary was sitting there wearing a delicate chain armor, holding a large glass of beer and drinking it.

"Happy!" he yelled after taking a swig of beer.

"Thank you, my brother, for the food!" said a big man sitting across from Hillary very gratefully.

"Taylor, we have been brothers for so many years, so don't be polite to me, we will not get drunk today!"

"Okay, don't get drunk!"

"Hilary, are there really good people among the nobles?"

"Of course, our lord is a very good person, look at us now!"

"Then does he have another purpose? When did those greedy nobles have such a good time?"

"I said Taylor, you are just suspicious. What else do we untouchables have besides a bad life? Do you think the adults spent so many gold coins just to deceive us untouchables? Hehe, if someone was willing to give me a thousand gold coins back then Gold coins, I am willing to sell my life to him, but who has taken care of me?" Speaking of this, Hillary, who was a little drunk, suddenly became very sad.

He gulped down the wine in his glass, then blushed and shouted at Taylor thickly.

"Blood Wolf, I've said everything I need to say. Have you made up your mind? Where can you find such a good thing? Are you really going to live in this dark day for the rest of your life?"

"Bahu, stop urging me, boy, you think we are like you, a bastard, alone. Tell me, how do I tell them, do you want me to tell them, I will lead you to seek refuge with a Nobility?" Taylor, who was also a little drunk at this time, suddenly stood up after hearing Hillary's words, patted the table and pointed to the outside of the house and asked loudly.

How could he not be clear about what happened in the Khajid Mountains before? He wasn't so stupid that he couldn't tell the good from the bad, but he couldn't convince his people.

How can people who are not the Blood Wolf Legion know the difficulties of the Blood Wolf Legion? Don't look at it from the outside, their Blood Wolf Thieves Group has thousands of blood wolf fighters who are not afraid of death, and their scenery is infinite.

But all these honors were paid for by countless people behind him with their lives.

Over the past few years, countless clansmen have used their lives to maintain the Blood Wolf Legion's fearless style, leaving the Blood Wolf Legion with a very intimidating reputation outside. Isn't their purpose just to support the orphans and widows in this place? mother.

He still remembered that in the past, although the blood wolf clan was small in number, because of the technology of single-handedly raising war wolves, they had always lived happily in the Annaba Mountains, where their clan had lived for generations.

However, one day, an official from Yefeng City sent a notice from the city lord at that time, telling them that from that day on, the blood wolves that the blood wolf clan needed to hand in each year would be changed from [-] to [-].

Although this condition was too much, they gritted their teeth and agreed in order to keep the tribe's stable life.

However, in the second year, those greedy nobles raised the tax rate of their blood wolf clan from [-] to [-].

After receiving this notice, they couldn't bear it any longer, and turned in [-] domesticated blood wolves every year, which was simply impossible.

At that time, his father, the patriarch of the blood wolf clan, went to Yefeng City to meet the city lord in person, hoping that the city lord could take back the previous order.

Unexpectedly, what he was waiting for in a few days later was his father's head and even worse demands from that bastard.

For the blood feud of his father and the survival of the tribe, he directly killed the envoy sent by the city lord, announcing that the blood wolf clan would break away from the empire's jurisdiction!

Three thousand knights, a total of three thousand knights, not ordinary cavalry, but knights, at least elite cavalry of bronze cavalry
That bastard really looked up to their blood wolf clan, and even dispatched 3 knights and more than [-] auxiliary soldiers at one time to conquer them.

They were poorly equipped, relying on their flesh and blood and will to survive, they dealt with them in the Annaba Mountains for a year and three months by virtue of the terrain, forcing them all to rest in the Annaba Mountains , and the price paid by their blood wolf clan was 630 seven lives.

Although after that battle, the name of the blood wolf clan was fought out, but the price paid was extremely serious. Almost every household wore mourning. They originally had a population of less than 3. In such a war for dignity and survival Among them, there are only more than [-] people left, and most of them are orphans and widows.

Because of Qiu Heng, and in order to survive, he led the rest of his tribe to become thieves.

Such a war within the empire naturally caused panic among many ethnic minorities attached to the empire, in order to quell the panic of all ethnic groups.

The chief culprit who caused this incident was the Lord of Yefeng City at that time, the eldest son of the Malphite family, who was directly sent to the guillotine by Emperor Federer who traveled here, and at the same time the emperor pardoned their blood wolf clan for rebellion The crime of the empire, implore the blood wolf family to return to the embrace of the empire again.

But after such a painful experience, how can they trust those greedy nobles?
Especially for so many years, they have been fighting with the private army sent by the Malphite family, and the hatred between the blood wolf family and the Malphite family has become even greater.

So even if he believed that Hillary didn't lie to him, he didn't have the confidence to convince those people in the family, and he couldn't guarantee that the nobleman would be willing to offend the Moffitt family for them.

"Taylor." After hearing his questioning, Hillary didn't know what to say, who knew the history of the blood wolf clan.

"Blood Wolf, I hope this can help you. You can try to send someone to contact the adults!" At this time, Hillary put a parchment roll on the table, stood up and walked out.

Seeing the leaving figure of his old friend Hillary, Taylor picked up the parchment on the table, unfolded it, and found that it was just a notice, and a wolf's head was clearly printed on the bottom of the parchment.

Looking at the notice in his hand, he stood there without moving for a long time. After waiting for a while, he strode out and came to a cemetery on the westernmost side of the valley. Looking at the rows of tombstones in the cemetery, he There were nine long whistles.

In the blink of an eye, warriors in leather armor ran out from each wooden house, holding various weapons in their hands, and a very strong wolf was closely following them.

However, behind them, there are more right people rushing towards this side, there are old people, women, and children among them.

"Taylor, what happened? Why did you issue a summoning order for the whole clan!" Not long after, a dense crowd of people stood outside the cemetery. At this time, an old man walked out from the crowd. He came to Taylor, very asked suspiciously.

"Elder Richard, Taylor has encountered a very embarrassing thing. This matter has advantages and disadvantages for our blood wolf clan. Taylor really can't make a decision without authorization. He can only launch a referendum before the heroic souls who died in battle. .

Hearing his words, everyone's expressions immediately changed, and a referendum was launched in front of the heroic souls who died in battle. Over the years, there was only one time in more than ten years.

That time they decided to rebel against the greedy nobles.

After hearing Taylor's words, everyone stopped talking immediately, waiting for his next words.

At this time, Taylor took out the notice left by Hillary earlier, jumped onto a high platform in front of the cemetery, and began to read it aloud.

"I, the patriarch of the wild wolf family and the governor of the Khajide Mountains, Knight Yifei, under the witness of the gods, swear on the name of the family, and am willing to face any citizen of the territory fairly and impartially."

After reading the notice in his hand, Taylor glanced at the clansmen below, and then said loudly: "Since that year, I have never believed in those bullshit nobles. They killed our relatives and deprived us of We have owned property for more than ten years, and we told them with the long sword in our hands that our blood wolf clan will never succumb to those bullshit nobles.

Over the past ten years, we have won glory.But it is facing the point of extinction, look at our children, they should wear decent clothes, eat delicious food, grow up happily.But now, look at them."

Looking at the yellow, thin and dirty children under the stage, Taylor couldn't help but his eyes dimmed, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"There was only one way before us, and that was to give up the dignity of our blood wolf clan, pray for the forgiveness of our enemies, and then live humblely.

Now we have a new choice, but I don't know if choosing this path is right or wrong for our blood wolf clan..."
