The topic suddenly shifted to himself, and Ai Xiu was a little caught off guard for a while. When did Zakar meet him? Estheu was not at all impressed.

"When did you meet him, my lord?" Randolph asked in surprise.

"I heard earlier that a lone wolf had gone on a killing spree in Judah's territory, alarming the warlords there, and then he sent out eighty-four hussars to hunt down the lone wolf, you. Probably because you killed me so badly, that Hun even didn't hesitate to break into my territory to continue the hunt. After getting the news, my first reaction was that Judah had sent someone to provoke me, and the so-called revenge was just a pretext, and in order to confirm the truth of the rumors, I-uh," Zakar suddenly paused, frowning and thinking, "Visit? Onlookers? Watching? Anyway, I went over and took a look. He then uttered a heartfelt exclamation in the Gato dialect, "O wind of the steppe! I have never seen such a swift Pande, who almost escaped the encirclement of eighty or so horses with his legs. Later I learned that such a painstaking pursuit is not just because of revenge, but also because you have an incomparably sharp battle axe in your hand. Why," his gaze moved down to Estheu's hand, and there was an emptiness between the ten fingers, "or was it captured by them?" ”

Eshua shook his head: "I got rid of them on the other side of the river. ”

"I think so, after all, I didn't find any axe-like weapons in my loot."

Randolph heard the meaning of Zakar's words, and was shocked: "My lord, did you destroy all those hussars?" ”

"That's not true, after all, I don't want to tear my face with Zhu Da so soon. However, if you trample my pasture without saying hello, you will have to pay the corresponding price. In the words of your Pande, you have to make up for the road money. The weapons and armor of the hussars are now mine. Zakar glanced at Estheus, "But if I had known you were working for a friend, the warlord would have been intercepted in the first place." I will hunt you down as he hunted you before. He slapped Randolph on the shoulder coldly, "Friend, how do I use my rhetoric?" ”

"It's already very good, if you want to improve further, you can only go to the Royal Academy in Livingston to study." Randolph complimented. Zakar is obviously just expanding here, and may have just fought a vicious battle with the warlords who were entrenched before, and he urgently needs to recuperate, so he will try his best to avoid conflict with the "saboteurs", but although it is a temporary evasion strategically, the attitude shown from all sides should be relatively tough. The forcible seizure of Juda's equipment is only the tip of the iceberg.

"Forget it, you have to go through a large area of grassland controlled by Zhu Da, whether you can come back or not is up to Zhu Da, I won't do it." Zakar smiled, "Alright, that's the end of Pande's gossip etiquette, please join me in the feast of the Cato people!" Friends who come with me are all distinguished guests, and they can come and go in my tent freely! ”

Without hesitation, Eshua rolled over and dismounted. The breakfast provided by the caravan was sumptuous, but the portion was limited, and at best it could only soothe Estheu's hunger. The Noldor Ranger made a stop move, but Essiu turned a blind eye, anyway, now in Cato's territory, he didn't believe that these elves would turn their faces against him - even if they did, they couldn't be his opponents, as for the female Noldor he was really afraid of, she sat in the carriage and didn't react at all.

"Ritediran," the Noldor Ranger saw that Esthew was ignoring him, "to stop him"

"You can't stop it, how can I stop it?" Rietediran said lazily, and then he also rolled over and dismounted, "Lord Zakar, can I join you in the feast too?" ”

"Of course, I said it, and you're very welcome!" Zakar was a little surprised, he saw that this ranger was also a Noldor, but his gesture showed that he had been mixed in the ranks of mercenaries for a long time, and it was even more incompatible with his own people, but it was the forest dweller's own business, as long as he didn't make trouble on his own territory, Zakar didn't care.

The other Noldor Ranger were shocked and furious, and Rietediran's words and actions were nothing less than a disregard and betrayal of the blood feud between the two races. "You, Wanderer!"

"Leave those two men alone, keep your posts." Aldalian said coldly.

Ignoring the pinprick gaze behind him, Rietediran walked briskly to Estheu's side and walked with him into Zakar's tent. As for his previous performance, Eshu couldn't help but look sideways: "I thought that all the Noldor elves hated Cato to the core, and you were an exception. ”

"I used to be not, but now I don't care about it at all, and even begin to resent the Noldor who open their mouths and shut up their hatred, as if it was a vanity worthy of decoration to be the enemy of the whole continent. Did you think Cato was serious? The object of their plundering is not inferior to the Noldor Elve, it is nothing more than that we are more oily and water, and we are unwilling to lower our bodies and compromise like the merchants of Pander Continent. Fuck," Rietediran burst into a foul mouth, "I've been a groom for the Pander for too long, am I already depraved?" ”

"You're probably not a Noldor elf in every sense of the word, Ritediran, except for blood." Randolph interjected, "It doesn't really have anything to do with whether or not you're driving the horse for your master. Welcome to become a Pande. ”

"Pull it down, in addition to blood, my mate selection criteria are still a Noldor elf."

"But you can't go back to the Eastern Forest, it's better to deceive a few noble ladies who are just starting to fall in love and be a prodigal son." Randolph thought for a moment and said, "I can give you a list, of course, not for free. ”

"When did you start working as a pimp?" Rietediran took a sip, he was in a good mood, and he was not inferior to being freed from Kuigfen's hands, so he didn't mind making a few jokes with Randolph, "Not to mention that I don't need a list either." ”

……

Most of the dishes at the Gato feast were meat, and vegetables and bread were rare luxuries. Zakar has been persuading several people to drink, even though the mare's milk wine is not very mellow, but after pouring more than ten glasses in a row, even the iron viscera has a burning sensation. Rietediran was the first to be defeated, he was more self-aware, and knew that if he drank any more he would lose his temper, he made an excuse to slip out of the tent. Randolph and his entourage drank a fair amount of alcohol, and were able to drink several large bowls with Zakhar, but none of them were really massive. In the end, it was Esher who was fighting with Zakar. One is that it is difficult to resist, and the other is that he is no longer as physically and psychologically extremely resistant to alcohol as he was at the beginning.

"Friend, amazing!" Zakhar's name for Essho had changed, and although he had drunk the most, he was conscious and his eyes were blazing, "It's Husa Zor on the battlefield, and it's on the wine table!" ”

"What?" Estheu didn't understand the term.

"Husazzar is our Gatu's name for heroes! Here, another bowl! ”

"Lord Zakar," said Randolph, tongue wide on the side, "you take control, and we'll have business in a moment." ”

"Randolph friend, I'm different from you!" Zakar and Eshu touched the bowl, and drank again and again, "You always use the excuse of drinking too much and making mistakes, and don't drink more with me, but the people of Cato have always drunk more, the faster their brains turn!" ”

"That's why I don't want you to drink more!" Randolph laughed and gave himself a shallow look at it, "Otherwise, where else would I have to take advantage of?" ”

"There is cheap, of course there is cheap, and it is a huge bargain!" Zakar put down the wine bowl, "Friend Randolph, haven't you always wanted to buy more Gatu's war horses, and now you have such an opportunity!" ”
