Despite the barbarians' loud shouts, the roadblocks remained unresponsive. Lying on the ground, Catherine estimated that the roadblock might not have been hearing.

The barbarian relentlessly repeats the same sentence, as if he will not give up without an explanation from the roadblocker. Speaking of which, the nature of a savage is like this, very stubborn, and the brain does not turn.

Catherine had seen barbarians in the royal city of Daxter, but only once. This ethnic group is a race that is unique to the Western Continent. If it weren't for the opening of navigation between the eastern and western continents in the last decade or so, there might not be real barbarians in sight on the eastern continent.

As for the history of the barbarians, Catherine read about it in A Brief History of the Western Continent. According to records, the barbarian king "Da Dauntless" saw a meteorite fall into the lake by the Tianhu Lake. Daring Do went into the water three times to find the artifact Behemoth Axe in the meteorite that fell from the sky. Relying on the giant beast axe, the barbarian king responded to the call of the ancestors to unify the thirty-three barbarian tribes and establish the kingdom of the giant beasts.

The Land of Behemoths is located on the Beast Country Plateau in the northwest of the Western Continent. After the barbarian king established his kingdom without fear, he would recruit brave warriors from multiple tribes every year to go down the wolf's tooth trail along the Beast Country Plateau and invade the territory of the Belcy Empire to rob people and animals. This large-scale raid is historically known as the "beast tide".

The beast tide caused great damage and caused heavy losses to the northwestern provinces of the Belcy Empire. Therefore, Emperor Sebas V of Bercy established the Beast Hunting Legion and started the "Hunting War" with the Kingdom of Behemoths for 83 years.

Because the study of the history of the Western Continent is a very unpopular academic direction in the academic field of the Eastern Continent. Therefore, a large number of scholarly works on the Western Continent have not been translated and published in the Eastern Continent, such as the monograph dedicated to hunting warfare, which cannot be found in the library of the Royal Academy.

The facts that Catherine was able to learn were only general descriptions in "A Brief History of the Western Continent". But even so. These general narratives also provide a side for Catherine as a student to feel the brutality of the border war on another continent.

In the past eighty-three years, four barbarian kings of the country of behemoths have died on the battlefield, the leaders of twenty-one large and small tribes have died in battle, six tribes have declined and been annexed by other tribes, one tribe has defected from the country of behemoths to serve the empire, and on the side of the Belcy Empire, seven high-ranking generals with names and surnames have died in battle (two of them have been defeated and went to military courts), three large and large counties of the empire have been completely destroyed as wasteland (more than 100 small territories at all levels have been seriously damaged, and some territories have been repeatedly built and destroyed, and finally become the land of the undead), and nineteen nobles of various levels have been captured and used for ransom (most of them are barons and viscounts). 。 but also a hapless marquis and an earl who was floated twice). The capital of the Northwest Province fell once.

According to the official statistics of the Bercy Empire, the number of soldiers killed or permanently disabled in the Empire during the hunting wars ranged from 2,000 to 20,000 each year, with a total of between 400,000 and 1 million (based on different statistical methods in academic circles), but the number of civilians who died or were plundered into slavery was not officially announced.

How huge that number will be. Just a small example is all it takes to get a feel for it. Take, for example, Wisnod, the capital of the North-Western Province. In the month of the fall. More than 100,000 civilians were slaughtered, half the city burned, and for the next three years, hordes of resentful spirits cried over Wisnod in the middle of the night. The so-called "Vesnod's lamentation".

The hunting war ended when one of the three tribes of the Behemoth Nation, the Bear Tribe, defected to Belcy. It is said that the Bear Tribe has been given a Dominion in the Northwest Province, and is tasked with guarding the Wolf's Tooth Trail, serving as a buffer zone between the Behemoth Nation and Bercy.

Catherine was not only surprised but also a little excited to meet a barbarian here. This shows that the spirit world of the Silver Dragon King is a relatively open world, and it allows individuals from the outside world to enter. And the barbarian is clearly more familiar with this place.

Just now, Catherine began to realize that the barbarians seemed to have saved themselves. Not long ago, Catherine lamented that she hadn't been able to merge into the endless void, and now she realized that it was most likely the Silver Dragon King world trying to assimilate herself. The savage seemed to be experienced and intervened in time to interrupt the process, but his methods were crude and violent.

"I didn't fly away after all. Catherine made her voice between the barbarians' shouts. Although the sound was like the cry of mosquitoes in a thunderstorm, the barbarians actually heard it.

The big stout man stopped shouting at the roadblockers and looked down at the "kitten" at his feet. "You didn't fly away, so we're going to move forward. "The barbarian's words are clueless.

"Where are we going?" asked Catherine.

"To move forward is to move forward. The barbarian pointed to the roadblocker, "Three people can advance, and he leads the way." ”

Unfortunately, the roadblock was probably deaf, for he had not reacted until now, and when the barbarians began to shout at him like a statue.

"My name is Catherine, and I'm the Overseer of the First Expeditionary Force. Catherine felt the need to introduce herself, "I'm badly wounded, you and him, the man in the way, are so badly attacked, I can't move now." ”

"If you don't die, your injuries will heal. The barbarian thought for a moment and said, "Overseer of the Third Expeditionary Force, I am the Lion Peak. ”

The names of the barbarians are composed of the totems of the tribe to which they belong and the natural scenery, and only the barbarian kings have a title in the true sense of the word. For example, the first generation of barbarian kings is fearless, and fearlessness is the title, and before he became a barbarian king, it was called the Divine Elephant Tianhu. As can be seen from his name, the first generation of barbarian kings came from the elephant tribe, one of the three major tribes of the Giant Beast Country, and it is likely that his family lived by the Heavenly Lake.

The name of the Lion Peak indicates that he was born from the lion tribe of the Beast Nation. Catherine didn't expect to meet a barbarian from one of the three tribes of the Behemoth Nation. The members of the three barbarian tribes of elephants, lions, and bears, whose combat effectiveness was heard of by Catherine, who was far away in the Eastern Continent.

Barbarians, young and old, can be called warriors. However, the barbarians of the elephant, lion, and bear tribes are different, and it is said that they can summon their ancestors to obtain the power of the tribal totem, and can easily defeat one hundred in battle. Ghisling and Griggs had talked about this ability in a casual conversation, when Catherine happened to be present as an observer.

Ghisling thought it was similar to the way the druids summoned natural beings to possess them, and was a variant of Adventism. Griggs, on the other hand, prefers to gain power with the help of magic items, which means that the tribal totem is at work. But Griggs also believes that before he did research on the tribal totem, Quisling's statement may be closer to the truth. Catherine also raised a question on the side, why don't the barbarians of the other tribes except the three tribes have this ability......?
