The rise of the cousin in the world of beasts

The snow season comes quickly, and the beast attacks come even faster.

"Roar!"

"Ouch!"

"hiss……"

"Moo!"

When many ferocious beasts were so hungry that they attacked the tribe as before, trying to take the orcs and sub-beasts back for rations, the sky was not yet bright, and Lincoln was curled up in bed and sleeping in the dark.

It's just that the movement of those ferocious beasts was so loud that every household in White Tiger City was woken up.

It wasn't until the warning of the beast attacking the city echoed over the city that the people realized what had happened, and they all jumped out of bed, inexplicably terrified.

Lincoln rolled over and sat up, only to realize that Brook had already gone out to meet the enemy.

At this time, Benila's voice came through the roof: "Everyone, don't panic, the beasts have been blocked by the defensive fortress outside the dense forest. I believe that there are orcs here, and they will definitely be able to resist foreign enemies! Sub-beasts, the elderly, and children please order Go into the cellars and take shelter so the orcs won't be distracted."

With the help of the strong wind, Benila spread his voice to every corner of the city. With his assurance and relief, people from every household immediately calmed down and hid in their cellars under Benila's command.The cellar is connected with a secret passage, which can lead to the western cliff from every house in the city, and the clansmen will hide in the cave when necessary.

But now that the enemy attack has just started, everyone wants to know whether the training and arrangements for the past year can be defended, so instead of retreating to the cliff, they hide in the cellar and wait for news.

Lincoln, Bligh, and Tabor quickly packed up their clothes, quilts, and daily necessities, and took the three cubs into the cellar under the storage room.Lincoln had been guarding against this day for a long time. When it was built, the cellar was well-built and open, and the planning was well-organized.

The cellar of their house is about [-] square meters wide. The upper left corner is connected to the storage room, and there is a small door in the lower right corner. After opening, it is a passage connected to the west cliff.For ventilation, more than a dozen air holes were opened on the top of the cellar, connecting the kitchen, living room and backyard.

There are three large beds in the cellar. At the moment, three adults and three children are making the beds and folding the quilts. They opened the small door and lit a tin stove beside the door for warmth. Smoke and dust will flow into the passage, so that no one will worry Choked to death.

When Lincoln made arrangements at home, the orcs outside had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the incoming beasts.

So far, 35 defensive forts have been repaired, one every 50 meters, and each has 15 people.Ever since the snow began to fall the night before, the orcs knew that this year's invasion was coming, and there were people staring at the direction of the plain all the time, so they were ready to meet the enemy right away.

The first batch of ferocious beasts that came here were not many, about 60, mainly fire-eared wolves and golden-eyed wolves, mixed with a few red-flamed apes, water-treading leopards, and stone-faced snakes.They came from the southeast of the plain, so they were the first to encounter the defensive fortresses in the south.

There are several barriers outside the defensive fortress, and the orcs are ambushed. The first is a trap with a length, width and depth of 20 meters!These are not traps for catching small animals. They are filled with densely packed sharp stone spears, and there is absolutely no way out if they fall into them.

The fastest golden-eyed wolves rushed into the traps with a range of thousands of meters first. Before they had time to struggle and react, they fell into the pit like dumplings. It was pierced by a stone spear and turned into a sieve!

The ferocious beasts in the back didn't react, and when they saw the golden-eyed wolf running, they disappeared, and they all showed very humane expressions of surprise.A few ferocious beasts sensed something was wrong, but they rushed too fast, unable to stop at all, and fell into a terrifying trap involuntarily.

puff puff!

The sound of falling came one after another, and the screams of ferocious beasts shook the sky even more.The ferocious beasts ran side by side, so they mainly fell into the traps. The corpses were piled one on top of the other, and the blood spurted out of Lao Gao, staining the white snow near the traps with a layer of bright red.

The blood gurgled like a stream, looking particularly dazzling against the white snow.

The orcs did not feel any discomfort. After confirming that all the beasts that came were dead, dozens of orcs jumped out immediately, brandishing shovels and shovels to fill the traps with soil, lest the bloody smell would attract more beasts. It is also to avoid being noticed by the beasts later.

Because there were enough traps dug, the group of ferocious beasts that invaded the day before were almost useless by the orcs, and all of them fell into the traps and died without a whole body.At night, the ferocious beasts stopped attacking, and the orcs cleared the traps, harvested hundreds of prey, and camouflaged the traps again.

The orcs were not overjoyed. They knew that as the weather got colder, most beasts would go into hibernation, and the beasts with natural abilities could withstand the severe cold.But without a lot of food, the ferocious beasts can only attack various tribes, which is why the Baihu tribe hides in caves every year during the snow season.

The ferocious beasts can't find people to feed their stomachs in the tribe, so they will dig three feet in the snow and in the mountain depressions to find hibernating beasts to satisfy their hunger.

In previous years, ferocious beasts attacked the tribe, and they could only kill a few tribesmen and snatch their corpses back as rations.I thought it would be the same this year, but the orcs of the White Tiger Tribe did not escape!This is terrible, after the smell of fresh blood spreads across the plains, more ferocious beasts will be attracted!

In the next few days, more and more ferocious beasts attacked.In the beginning, they were able to kill the enemy with the help of traps, but in the end, there were hundreds of ferocious beasts, and traps alone were no longer enough to deal with them.After the trap, there is a defense zone of wooden spikes, horse repelling and trip ropes. Unfortunately, all beasts are capable. These defensive methods cannot kill the enemy immediately, and the beasts will release extremely powerful abilities.

Water arrows, fire snakes, thunder and lightning, venom, ground cracks, the beasts' counterattacks are fast and ruthless!

The orcs didn't jump out at this time, and waited for the ferocious beasts to run to the defensive fortress, and then began to stand on the top of the fortress, attacking with wind blades, bows and arrows across the beacon tower and condescendingly.

Although the horizontal distance has been shortened, the orcs have a long vertical distance, so they can only bully these ferocious beasts on the flat ground, killing them to pieces, leaving dead bodies all over the ground!

There was a piece of scorched earth on the ground, no matter how much soil and snow was used to cover it, the smell of blood was still pungent.The orcs burned vermilion flowers into powder, and sprinkled large handfuls on the ground, as much as they could cover the smell of blood.

Brook stood on a fortress, watching the orcs clean up the battlefield, and then looked into the depths of the distant plain.Harrison said relaxedly behind him: "There are not as many ferocious beasts as expected. I guess most of them have gone to the other three tribes? I hope they can withstand it."

"They're not a problem." Brooke still spared words to his own brother.

Harrison asked him puzzled, "Then what are you worried about?"

Brooke said flatly, "It's time for the flying beast to come."

Harrison shuddered, nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, it's only in these two days. I'll go talk to other people and cheer up the orcs staying in the city."

"Ah."

The two guessed right. On the second day, the flying beasts that hadn't shown their faces attacked in large numbers.They came together with a large number of beasts on land, taking advantage of the orcs in the fortress being entangled, they flapped their wings and flew through the dense forest from a high altitude, rushing towards the White Tiger City in unison.

"Enemy attack!" The orcs guarding the city wall shouted, and all the orcs who stayed in the city cheered up and prepared to meet the enemy.

A defensive fortress was also built in the city, but it was not built too high, and there were no beacon towers or walls on the top. The main reason was that the orcs wanted to hide in the fortress, and their fighting method was to shoot cold arrows.

Markarth rubbed his hands excitedly, and said to the orcs next to him: "After waiting for so many days, we finally got this group of flying beasts! You guys saw it a few days ago, right? Outside The group of orcs used the number of enemies they killed every day to convert them into military exploits, and the corpses of ferocious beasts piled up in the houses of those who killed the most!

We can't let them focus on the front, otherwise they will lose their lives when rewarding meritorious deeds!Come on guys!For military exploits! "

"For the sake of battle!!"

This blunt pre-war mobilization made the orcs very excited. Chief Brook had long said that he would hold a commendation meeting in front of the whole clan.So the orcs screamed in excitement, rolled up their sleeves and threw away their arms, picked up their bows and arrows, set up their trebuchets, and let's go!

Rumbling--

The trebuchet crossed an arc, and threw a handful of flint in the front bucket into the air, hitting more than a dozen black jays and flying mosquitoes in an instant, and the flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the sky red!

The burned birds screamed and wailed, and flapped their wings desperately to extinguish the sparks on their bodies, but the fire grew bigger and bigger, and finally burned them into coke and fell to the ground.

There were many orcs carrying buckets, sneaking around in the streets and alleys. When they saw the burned birds fall to the ground, they ran out quickly to extinguish the fire, preventing the fire from spreading.

As soon as the big killer such as the trebuchet came out, it made these flying beasts taste the bitter fruit.Coupled with the countless cold arrows shot from the fortress, the birds who thought they would definitely take advantage of them were wiped out in a short time!

Brook, who was worried and rushed back, immediately felt relieved when he saw the fighting power of the orcs exploded.

Brook had been preparing for the attack of beasts in the snow season for a long time, and he had experimented many times with the large weapons such as repelling horses and catapults. In addition, the training of the orcs was very strict, and he finally passed every day without any danger.

Later, the orcs were looking forward to killing the enemy every day, and the fighting spirit was high, and they yelled all day long to kill those beasts.But the beasts are not stupid, after more than ten days of attacks, they have not taken advantage of the slightest, and they have already retreated in discouragement.From the 20th day of the snow season, there are hardly any beasts to be seen every day.

"Finally beat the beasts back!"

"A complete shame!!"

"From now on we don't have to hide in caves anymore, we just run away like cowards!"

The orcs beat their chests and roared, venting the anger in their hearts for so many years.The grievances of the past are gone forever, and they are not afraid to declare war on those beasts head-on!

People hiding in the cellar can hear the good news every day, and they are also dancing with joy at this time.However, they were worried that the beast would feint and attack again later, so they did not return to normal life, and the whole people were still on guard.

Winter is coming to spring, when all things are recovering, ordinary beasts in the dense forest and on the plains have come out of their holes, declaring that the beasts will no longer easily attack the tribe, and the resistance is completely over.

In this snow season, the orcs have been honing themselves in high-intensity actual combat. The tension, worry, fear and other emotions that they used to have in the battle have long since disappeared. Now they are the real masters of the king, with extraordinary combat effectiveness!

With this kind of experience, everyone has more confidence in the plan to sweep the plains in the future.

Not long after, when the whole clan was busy planting seeds, many orcs from the other three clans came to announce the good news.It is said that they also won a big victory in the snow season, killing countless beasts.

The three patriarchs slapped their thighs fiercely, talking about their achievements while spitting.Everyone used an elated and humiliated tone, it was so happy!

At the end, Barondo, the patriarch of the Tooth-eating Tiger Clan, pulled Brook and asked, "When are we going to sweep Vader's Plains? Brothers can't wait!"

There was a smile in Brooke's eyes, and he said: "When you find the iron ore, you can make good iron tools for your three clans. The time is tentatively set for the dry season."

"Okay!" Barondo slapped his thigh hard, expressing that he couldn't wait to kill the enemy.

Lincoln was happy to hear it, and like everyone else, he was full of anticipation for that day to come soon.

During the more than four months of spring, rainy season and summer, the four tribes under the Tiger Clan were busy all the time, busy growing food and vegetables, busy looking for iron ore to make weapons, and busy with more rigorous training.

When the dry season comes, all the preparations are finally ready.Surprisingly, Amos led more than 50 eagle tribe orcs to the White Tiger tribe and said that he would help them sweep the plain together.

"How can you not participate in such an exciting battle?" Amos laughed.

Regarding their arrival, Lincoln handed Que'er directly to Amos and said, "Take it, and go and destroy all those beasts!"

The eagle orcs looked at Que'er with fiery eyes, and Amos solemnly held it in his hand and nodded firmly: "We will take good care of Que'er."

Afterwards, all the white tiger orcs and the eagle orcs gathered outside the city gate, waiting for the battle to officially begin.

The rest of the tribe stood in the city, looking towards the east with them, waiting for the sunrise - that was the time agreed by the four tribes to attack, when the time came, the two sides would march towards the central plain one by one east and one west at the same time, and wipe out the enemies along the way. All the ferocious beast territory.

At the moment when the sun rose, Brook raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, it's time for the general attack! From now on, if you don't make peace with Vader, you won't go home!"

"If you don't make peace with Vader, you won't go home!!!"

The orcs roared loudly, passionately and boldly, and marched towards Vader Plain!

In the next three months or so, the orcs went out to fight and fight. Only those who were seriously injured and unable to move would be sent back by other orcs at night to recuperate.However, no matter how the people who stayed behind asked, they didn't get any answer.

But the people of the tribe can see the wounds on their bodies, and the scars are covered layer by layer, everyone is like this.

The people who stayed in the city prayed every day, looking forward to the early return of the clansmen who went to war.

One day at the end of the harvest season, when the sub-beasts were harvesting food and vegetables, they suddenly heard someone shouting in surprise: "Back! The army is back!"

The people in the city were stunned for a moment, and then ran towards the city gate with great urgency.I saw people running out from every corner of White Tiger City, running to the same place with the same mood.

When everyone came outside the east city gate, they did see the orcs and sub-beasts returning from the battle.

The soldiers supported each other, most of them were covered in blood, and the few who looked clean were also covered in bandages.They looked shaky, as if they couldn't even walk steadily, and looked very miserable.

However, each of them has the brightest smile on their faces, brighter than the sun in the sky, illuminating everyone's hearts.

Immediately afterwards, cheers resounded through the sky!

……

……

……

Lincoln quickly packed his things. He wanted to take too much with him when he went out this time.Self-defense weapons are necessary, as are animal skins, paper and charcoal for recording.In addition, a change of clothes, dry food, and daily necessities are all necessary.

"It would be great if I had Doraemon's treasure bag." Lincoln scratched his head looking at the things on the bed.

Brook folded his clothes and said, "I heard that there are elephant tribes in the far eastern continent. Their innate ability is the space system, and they seem to be able to make space bags for storing things."

"Really?!" Lincoln looked at him, unable to hide his smile, clapped his hands vigorously and said, "It's decided, the first stop is to go to the Elephant Clan!"

Brook naturally followed him: "You have the final say."

Lincoln took out his notepad and wrote down the names of the elephant clan after a long itinerary.He pointed to the names on the notepad, nodded and said, "We have eight tribes to go, isn't it too little? Well, it's the first time to travel far, so let's do this first."

Brooke said with a smile, "Not yet? It will take at least three years to travel through the eight tribes."

Lincoln lifted his chin and proudly said, "Three years is three years, my goal is to travel around the world!"

Brook touched his head and said dotingly, "I'll be with you, you can go wherever you want."

Lincoln smiled heartily, he was accompanied, and the ends of the earth were not far away.

--end--

Fanwaiji

Lincoln sits on Brook's back and looks at the mountains and water. Now that the rainy season in the western part of the mainland has just passed, it is suitable for travel.

The three cubs were lying on a Heichencrow excitedly, and the sparrow with head feathers and tail feathers of seven colors stood on top of the Heichencrow's head, combing its feathers arrogantly from time to time.

This Heichencrow was Que'er's captive. At that time, the four tribes below the Tiger Clan swept the plains, and Que'er contributed a lot.According to Brooke, the sparrow is still too young now, and it is a fledgling bird in terms of the sparrow, so facing the extremely large number of ferocious beasts, the pressure on them will be weakened a lot, but it is already an incredible help up.

And Que'er is the most deterrent to flying beasts, and many birds have been captured by the little guy.

Originally, the Lincoln family traveled around the world with five members. Brooke, who could fly, was enough, but Queer had to follow Lincoln with him, and finally took his own "mount" on the road.

Lincoln looked at the Heichencrow, who was bossed around by Que'er, with its head drooping, and thought that it really deserved it.

They were not in a hurry and walked forward slowly.Now the ferocious beasts on the entire Vader Plain have been driven to the south along the middle and lower reaches of the Rochester River. There are more than 20 ferocious beast clans and more than 3000 ferocious beasts, which are specially left for the teenagers who grew up in the grinding clan in the future.

In Brooke's words, the hidden dangers in the surrounding areas have been resolved now, but times have changed, and no one can tell clearly what will happen in the future. He doesn't want the younger generation to become flowers in the greenhouse, and he must let them be tempered and tempered.

The Vader Plain, which covers a vast area, is very safe now, and there is no need to worry about walking in it.

Lincoln asked aloud: "We want to establish a passage on the plain to connect with the other three tribes. It is a huge project, right? I heard that you and the patriarch went to the tooth-eating tiger tribe to talk to them two days ago. They don't want to?"

"Barondo has always been flexible in mind. Since the last time our tribe's exchange meeting was a great success, and it also attracted the Eagles to dispatch orcs to help exterminate the beasts, he saw that we were about to rise. In order to curb this momentum, he It's no wonder you're willing to build a road with us on the plain." Brook said unceremoniously about Barondo's tricks.

Lincoln smiled: "There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the world. The scourge of beasts in Vader's Plains has been solved, and they naturally don't need to cooperate with us. But, I don't believe that Barondo and others will treat us What comes out won't move your heart.

Among other things, they now think that iron ore is the strongest metal, so where is it?Gold, silver and copper, which one is worse than iron?There are also resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas, and precious things such as glass, ceramics, and jade are even more dazzling to them.Of course, the most important thing must be electricity. How many things can be done with electricity?I kept Barrondo in shock! "

Many things had been in Lincoln's plan for a long time. Due to the infestation of ferocious beasts in the past, he couldn't afford to do anything, and there were not so many manpower to arrange for him, so he had to put it on hold temporarily, but Lincoln never forgot.The reason why he decided to go out and travel in the mainland so quickly is that Lincoln also wanted to understand the world before he could make specific plans.

"Now a little cold weapon makes them so happy, but if hot weapons come out in the future, won't they go crazy? Guns, cannons, bombs, grenades! Hmph, I don't believe they can resist these temptations." Lincoln said proudly.

Brook looked back at his shy look and let out a muffled laugh.To be honest, a tiger laughing with its quivering throat is actually quite scary...

The two didn't discuss for too long, anyway, the road construction is not going to be carried out now.Since Lincoln wanted to walk around the mainland, and the rest of the White Tiger Clan basically never left the tribe, so there are a lot of people going out for travel these days.The orcs on the Calvi continent usually travel around from time to time. The White Tigers were just inconvenient in the past, but now there is no trouble, so of course they can do what they want.

The Lincoln family walked slowly across the plain, and did not stop to rest when they passed the Tooth-eating Tiger City. They don't need to talk too much with the other three families now.

When flying through the air, they saw that the huge town that was originally one has been divided into three.

Lincoln frowned: "They move really fast, how long have they passed? They usually look very good, but they are not doing their own thing."

The three cubs all lay on the back of the Heichen Crow and looked down. Such a magnificent town is bigger than the three White Tiger Cities.Adams asked curiously: "Dad, why did they separate? Isn't it good for everyone to be united and help each other?"

"Everyone has selfish intentions. Now that there are no foreign aggressions among the three tribes, they will definitely separate. And I heard that Barondo has some complaints about the tooth-eating tiger tribe's belief in the beast god again." Lincoln shook his head slightly. He felt that Barondo was indeed shrewd enough, but he was too obsessed with power. It would be easier for such a person who needs someone to handle him.Those who seem to want nothing are more difficult to deal with.

Miller whispered, "It's a good thing to believe in beast gods."

Among the people of the White Tiger tribe, there are more people who believe in orcs. Benila resisted it for a while at the beginning, but later adjusted his mentality so that the whole tribe can live a better life.Lincoln felt that it was not easy for him to be the patriarch, so he had a talk with him and dispelled his worries—don’t those Christians also believe in God?I didn't see them disobeying the constraints of the country's leaders.

Lincoln did not explain too much to the children, and many things he said alone were not enough, they needed to experience and comprehend by themselves.

The family only hovered for a few minutes, and then they left the territory of the Tiger Clan, preparing to go through the Paar Forest to the territory of the Wolf Clan and the Eagle Clan.These two races live in the middle of the continent, and further east is the territory of the elephant tribe, which is where Lincoln will definitely go, and the space storage bag is beckoning to him!

The wolf clan consists of three tribes, gray wolves, snow wolves and jackals.Among them, the orcs of the wolf tribe are the most fierce and combative, and the wolf tribe is good at fighting in groups. Many fierce beasts on the grassland where they live need to avoid their edge.Bullying the good and fearing the evil is not just a human patent.

During the exchange meeting last year, more than 20 orcs from the wolf tribe visited White Tiger City. To Lincoln's surprise, they were very interested in the food, but not in weapons.

"The wolves have strong collective combat capabilities, and they have powerful lightning abilities. There are no large beasts around the tribe, so weapons are not very practical for them." Brook explained to Lincoln.

Lincoln nodded, as long as the other party needs it, food is simpler and more convenient than weapons.

This time when their family visited the wolf tribe, it was inevitable to point out some new dishes to each other. The delicious food successfully won the friendship of the wolf tribe.

Hamilton, the patriarch of the jackal clan, is a rough middle-aged orc with a particularly loud voice, and his words sound like thunder: "I heard that your four tribes of the tiger clan have wiped out all the star-studded ferocious beasts on Vader Plain? Why don't you call us! The brothers are doing nothing every day, and they are almost sick from being suffocated!"

Brooke said flatly, "No time."

As for whether they didn't have time to come to the wolf clan to call for help, or whether they didn't have time to get along with these orcs, it was up to everyone to guess.

Hamilton howled a few more times, with a regretful expression.Lincoln figured it out. These wolves were naturally restless, and they wished they could fight every day.

Lincoln found it interesting, as the world is so big and full of wonders.

But he didn't feel envious. If he had traveled to the wolf tribe, he might have been killed by these restless orcs long ago.

Since the three cubs left the White Tiger City, everything they saw seemed fresh, and they had already gone out to play with the cubs of the wolf clan.Lincoln took a look at it from a distance, and the game played by those little wolf cubs was to fight and fight, which was extremely cruel.

But he doesn't worry about the children, they are all boys, so what does it matter if they fall or get hit?Different experiences can increase their knowledge, which is better than knowing nothing.

The family stayed in the Wolf Clan for half a month, then said goodbye and left, preparing to go to the Eagle Clan.

When they left, the wolves and sub-beasts prepared a lot of dry food for them, and their attitude was extremely enthusiastic. Lincoln had to ask Que'er to capture another Heichencrow before they could put the things down.

Walking in the air again, Lincoln saw that the faces of the three children were covered with paint, but their spirits were completely different from those of the past. Even Miller, the little sub-beast, was much tougher and seemed to be more confident.

Lincoln and Brooke are happy to see the success, and feel very relieved to see the cubs who are getting more and more sensible.

It was almost the snow season when we arrived at the Eagle Clan.The Lincoln family entered the Chakabuco Mountains, and under the leadership of several Eagle Clan orcs, they came to the village of the Colorful Sparrow Clan.

The three tribes of the eagle tribe are the colorful sparrows, eagles and vultures. They all live on a peak in the Chakabuco Mountains and jointly established a unified village.It is only because of the different branches of the ethnic groups and the differences in living habits that the villages are separated, but in general the Eagles are the most united race.

"Chirp Chirp~" Que'er seemed to smell the strong smell of birds here, and let out bursts of cheerful chirping, and immediately recruited all the Eagle Clan members.

When they saw this little sparrow, the Eagle Clan exploded in an instant, without saying a word, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing down to the sparrow.Que'er was very high-spirited, it knew that it had come to the place where it was most comfortable, and became extremely proud.

"The bird is so powerful, so many people worship it!" Field was very surprised.

As soon as he praised, Que'er's expression became even more embarrassing.

With the arrival of Que'er, the Lincoln family enjoyed an unprecedented warm reception in the Eagle Clan. The Caique Clan also gave them several sets of cold-proof cotton robes that have been treasured for many years. These cotton robes are very thick and very warm to wear.

With the hospitality of many birds, Lincoln and the others simply spent the entire snow season here, and only went on the road again in the spring of the following year.

"It's time to go to the elephant clan!" Lincoln screamed excitedly.Although Brook said that the Elephant Clan had little contact with other tribes, even the annual salt was brought back by the Eagle Clan, and the treasure space bag had never been exchanged with other people.But Lincoln is confident, he knows too many things, and he can't believe that he can't impress those elephants!

Lincoln counted with his fingers: "In addition to the elephant tribe, there is also the lion tribe in the east, and the leopard tribe, bear tribe and ape tribe living in the north. It seems that it really takes three or four years to go through these places. It doesn't matter. As long as our family is together, we are not afraid to go anywhere.”

Brooke and the three cute cubs all laughed, and Lincoln was right, no matter where you go, no matter how far you go, you will be happy with your family.

Whether it is the Gobi desert, the extreme arctic ice sheet, or the ends of the earth, they can live happily ever after.
