my fortress

Chapter 81 Thunder Eagle Tribe
Waste, a bunch of waste, several tribes can't even win against a bumpkin."

In the majestic castle in the center of Calderilla, Morgan, the patriarch of the Malphite family, was completely out of his usual good mood.

Looking at the trembling servant kneeling on the ground in front of him, his mood became more and more depressed!

"Steve, you said Herbert is dead?" After a while, Morgan let out a long breath to relieve the anger in his heart, and asked an old man beside him.

"Yes, patriarch! This is what Ansta and the others saw with their own eyes. With Anthorn's reputation in the mainland, they shouldn't lie." An old man in a black robe standing on the side said respectfully.

After listening to Steve's answer, Morgan stood there, thinking quietly!

After a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked outside the castle, and said something indifferently.

"Steve, can you let the assassins make another shot?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, you also know the rules of assassination. They only accept one entrustment for any target. If the entrustee dies before the target dies, they will not accept another entrustment for that target! In their eyes, Such people are blessed by God."

"Steve, I heard that he is allowed to participate in next year's knight competition?"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

"Steve, send a message to Canglong!"

"Obey, Patriarch!" Hearing Morgan's order, Steve was startled, and responded with a humble attitude.

"Blessed by God? Hmph!" Seeing Steve's voice of leaving, Morgan said coldly and softly, with a look of disdain on his face.

What kind of bullshit is God favored, you hateful country bumpkin, even if you escaped once, so what.Next year's Knight Contest will let you know that ants are still ants after all!

In the Khajid Mountains, the sky above the Thunder Eagle Tribe was shrouded in a thick layer of sadness!

Some time ago, the patriarch listened to the bewitchment of Vernal of the Yager tribe, and sent troops to attack a viscount territory of the Thorn Empire, but he was defeated.

A battle that had nothing to do with the tribe, not only caused heavy deaths of the young and middle-aged men in the tribe, but also brought a deep crisis to the tribe!

After the defeat, time passed day by day, and the day of worshiping the mountain god in the traditional ceremony of the barbarians was getting closer and closer, but the supplies of the tribe were getting less and less, and Zach was very troubled at this time.

At this time, he had no intention of thinking about the autumn ceremony, and an urgent problem was placed in front of him!
That is, there is not enough food in the tribe. A war without any gains consumes a lot of food in an instant. Now the food storage in the tribe has no way to last until next autumn.
"That idiot caused a lot of trouble, then he just stared and ran away, leaving me here to clean up the mess!"

In a large wooden house of the Thunder Eagle Tribe, Zach kicked the bench beside him aside with a sad face, and said bitterly.

Ever since he came back from the Terran Empire, that old bastard Zabi couldn't lie down. As his younger brother, Zac just took over the leadership of the tribe!

Originally, this was a good thing. He used to dream of sitting in the seat in front of him, but this time, he strongly wanted to shirk this right!

Today's Thunder Eagle Tribe can be said to be troubled!
In the Thunder Eagle Tribe with a population of 10,000+, the death of more than 2 tribesmen is not a big deal.

But the most terrible thing is that in the previous battle, that bastard Zabi did not know what was wronged, but he listened to Vernal's bewitchment and sold the food in the clan to the tribal coalition army.

This is all right, they have a lot of gold coins in their hands, but they have no food!

The supplies of 10,000+ people almost consumed the whole year's harvest of the tribe, and the gold coins obtained, now there is no way to buy any supplies from the Terran Empire!
In the mountains, the most precious wealth of each tribe is food, and they will never sell the food stored in the tribe without special circumstances.

And because of the rugged mountain roads and the lack of supplies in the mountains, almost no caravans came over. In the mountains, gold coins were of little use at all!

Therefore, in the mountains, when the various tribes traded, they mostly used the method of barter.

But they are close to the border of the Thorn Empire, and they can still go to the Thorn Empire every year to sell some valuable things in the mountains to some nearby lords in exchange for gold coins to buy some supplies, so the gold coins are still useful, and life is not very difficult!
But after this battle, they found that there is now a huge stumbling block on the road to the human empire!
The blood wolf city that the wild wolf family built on the Annaba Plain is like a beast, entrenched at the throat of the tribe leading to the various tribes of the human race, stopping all the caravans going to the tribe!
Since that battle, no human caravan was able to reach the tribe from Maple Leaf County. Wild Wolf City and Blood Wolf City, like two ferocious beasts, blocked the communication between the people of Dashan and the outside world.

And those human caravans coming from other directions will definitely not climb mountains and wade to their Thunderhawk tribe to trade with them!
Unless they are willing to trade with those orcs living in the wild highlands!
But the orcs are poorer than the savages, and they have never even thought about exchanging some special products from the mountains with them for some living supplies, let alone the useless gold coins!
"Chief Zack, there are still ten days until the autumn ceremony, and the clansmen are asking, will this year's ceremony still be held?" Just when Zac was very upset, the door was pushed open, and an old man The woman came in and asked.

Do a yarn!People are starving to death, and there is a woolen festival!

Hearing the old woman's question, Zach couldn't help but think in his heart, but he wouldn't say it in person!Because the old woman in front of me is the priest of the tribe, she has taken good care of him since she was a child, and is also highly respected by the tribe.

So he spread his hands, looked at the old woman with a wry smile, and said: "Hey, you know the situation of the tribe now. The tribe lacks everything now, except money. If you can use them to hold celebrations, then Just do it!"

"." Hearing Zac's words, the old woman was speechless for a moment. She knew the situation of the tribe very well, but the celebration of worshiping the mountain god in autumn was the most solemn festival of the year for the barbarians, so they had to hold it.

If it is not done, the mountain god will be angered, and the life of the tribe will be even more difficult in the coming year!

"Zach, can we make a deal with the Wild Wolf Family? Didn't they also buy the stones and wood we sent earlier?" After a while, the old woman said suddenly.

"Hehe, how is this possible? If they don't care, why didn't a human caravan come here? Hehe, the Monroe family." Zach said with a wry smile.

At this time, the old woman also stood there silently when she heard Zach's words, and the room suddenly became extremely quiet.

Make a deal with the wolf family again?

If they are ordinary human nobles, then there is nothing wrong with them. Those greedy nobles have no position at all. As long as they have enough interests, they can sell their souls to the devil!

But they are the Monroe family with clear love and hatred. In their dictionary, there are only two words, enemy and friend!

Unfortunately, their Thunderhawk tribe chose to be their enemy, and they lost!
Perhaps at this moment, they were waiting for the tribe to fall into its weakest point, and then attack them aggressively!
In ancient literature, such things are not uncommon!
The reason why the orcs were driven to the barren wilderness highlands was because in ancient times, they chose to fight against the Monroe tribe!

The orc empire, which flourished for a while, was driven out of the fertile Maple Leaf Plain by the Monroe tribe in just over a dozen years, and was driven out of the Pokhara River basin, and finally survived in the wild highlands.

If it weren't for that disaster, maybe there would be no orcs on this continent. It can be said that that ancient disaster saved the entire orc race!

Thinking of this, Zach couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Thanks to that disaster, most of the Monroe tribe were separated to the other end of the vast sea!
That terrible race just disappeared from everyone's eyes!
"Dengdeng." At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the house, breaking the silence at this moment!
"Patriarch, a knight from the wild wolf family has come outside the tribe"

"What, knights of the wolf family, how many of them are here?" Zac was startled when he heard the soldier's report, and hurriedly asked before the soldier finished speaking.

"Patriarch, there is only one person here, and he said let us give you this!" The soldier said in surprise, and at the same time passed a broken short blade in his hand!

Looking at the dagger in the soldier's hand, Zach suddenly felt so familiar, and couldn't help but hastily took the dagger in the soldier's hand.

【Thai】

As soon as he took the short blade from the soldier's hand, he saw the words engraved on the short blade, and immediately became excited, and hurriedly said to the soldier in front of him, "He, where is he? Please invite him in!"

"Obey, Patriarch!"

"Wait, I'll pick him up myself!" After finishing speaking, Zach ran out quickly!
