Chapter 39: The Blood Wolf Clan
In the Annaba Mountains to the south of Yefeng County, there is a large basin with a series of wooden houses scattered in it, and a group of yellow-skinned children, dressed in rough linen clothes, barefoot around the campfire, watching the yellow, orange and orange fat sheep roasted on the bonfire.
Beside them, there were two large carriages, and a group of men in armor were happily carrying barrels of wine from the carriages, and on their breastplates, a wolf's head was carved impressively.
In one of the wooden houses, Hillary, a former thief and now a would-be knight, was sitting in elaborate chain mail, sipping a large glass of beer.
"Happy!" After taking a big sip of beer, he shouted loudly.
"Thank you, my brother, for all this food!" A big man sitting across from Hillary Clinton said gratefully.
"Taylor, we have been brothers for so many years, you don't have to be polite to me, we won't get drunk today!"
"Okay, don't get drunk!"
"Hillary, is there really a good person among the nobles?"
"Of course, we adults are good people, look at us now!"
"Does he have another purpose? When did those greedy aristocrats have such a good time? ”
"I said Taylor, you kid is suspicious, what do we untouchables have but a rotten life? Do you think that the adults spent so much gold just to deceive us pariahs? Hehe, if someone was willing to give me a thousand gold coins, I was willing to sell his life to him, but who took care of me? At this point, Hillary, who was a little drunk, suddenly became very sad.
He gulped down the contents of his glass and shouted at Taylor with a blushing face.
"Blood wolf, I've said everything I should say, have you kid decided or not, where to find such a good thing, are you really going to live in this dark day for the rest of your life?"
"Bahu, you kid don't urge Lao Tzu, you think we are like you bastards, alone. Tell me how I am going to tell them, do you want me to tell them that I am going to lead you to a nobleman? At this time, Taylor, who was also a little drunk, suddenly stood up, slapped the table and pointed out the room after hearing Hillary's words.
How could he not be clear about what had happened in the Kajid Mountains before, he was not stupid enough to tell the difference between good and 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 outside, their Blood Wolf Thieves Group has thousands of blood wolf warriors who are not afraid of death, and the scenery is infinite.
But all these honors were all earned by the lives of countless clansmen behind him.
Over the past few years, countless clansmen have maintained the style of the Blood Wolf Legion that is not afraid of death at the cost of their lives, so that the Blood Wolf Legion has left a very intimidating reputation outside, and its purpose is not to feed the orphans and widows in this place.
He still remembered that in the past, although their blood wolf clan was not many in number, because of the technology of raising wolf warriors, they had always lived happily in the Annaba Mountains, a place where their clan had lived for generations.
However, one day, an official from Ye Feng City sent a notice from the city lord at that time, telling them that from that day on, the blood wolf clan would need to hand in blood wolves every year from one thousand to ten thousand.
Although this condition was excessive, in order to ensure the stable life of the clansmen, they gritted their teeth and agreed.
However, the following year, the greedy nobles raised the tax rate of their blood wolf clan from 10,000 to 20,000.
After receiving this notice, they suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and handed over 20,000 domesticated blood wolves every year, which was something that there was no way to accomplish.
At that time, his father, the patriarch of the Blood Wolf Clan, personally went to Ye Feng City to meet the city lord, hoping that the city lord would be able to retract the order he had given earlier.
Who knows, a few days later, what he was waiting for was his father's head, and the bastard's worse demands.
His father's blood feud and the survival of his clansmen, he directly killed the messenger sent by the city lord and announced that the blood wolf clan was out of the jurisdiction of the empire!
Three thousand knights, a full three thousand knights, is not an ordinary cavalry, but a knight, at the lowest elite cavalry of bronze cavalry
That bastard, who really looked down on their blood wolf clan, actually dispatched 3,000 knights and more than 30,000 auxiliaries to recruit them at one time.
Poorly equipped, they relied on their flesh and blood and the will to survive, and relied on the terrain to maneuver with them in the Annaba Mountains for a year and three months, and forced them all to rest in the Annaba Mountains, and the price paid by their blood wolf clan was 61,637 lives.
Although after that war, the name of the blood wolf clan was out, but the price paid was also extremely serious, almost every household wore filial piety, they originally had a population of less than 100,000, in such a war for dignity and survival, only more than 30,000 people remained, and most of them were orphans and widows.
Because of Qiu Heng, and in order to survive, he led the rest of his clan to become thieves.
Such a great war within the empire naturally caused panic among many ethnic minorities who depended on the empire, in order to calm the panic of all ethnic groups.
The culprit who caused this incident, that is, the city lord of Ye Feng City at that time, the eldest son of the Moffett family, was directly sent to the guillotine by Emperor Federary the Great who traveled here, and at the same time, the emperor also pardoned their blood wolf clan for rebelling against the empire, and implored the blood wolf clan to return to the embrace of the empire again.
But how could they trust those greedy nobles after such a heart-wrenching experience?
Especially after all these years, they have continued to fight with the private army sent by the Moffett family, and the hatred between the blood wolf clan and the Moffett family has become even greater.
Therefore, even if he believed that Hillary did not lie to him, he did not have the confidence to convince those people in the clan, and he did not dare to guarantee whether the nobleman would be willing to offend the Moffett family for their sake.
"Taylor" Hillary didn't know what to say after hearing his questioning, knowing the history of the Blood Wolf Clan.
"Blood Wolf, I hope this can help you. You can try to send someone to make contact with the adults! At this moment Hillary put a roll of parchment on the table, stood up and walked out.
Looking at the departing figure of his old friend Hillary, Taylor picked up the parchment scroll on the table, unfolded it, and found that it was just a notice, and the bottom of the parchment was clearly printed with a wolf's head.
Looking at the notice in his hand, he stood there for a long time without moving, and after waiting for a while, he strode out and came to a cemetery in the westernmost part of the valley, and looked at the rows of tombstones in the cemetery, and he let out nine long howls in succession.
In the blink of an eye, from the wooden houses, warriors in leather armor with various weapons in their hands ran out, and by their side a very strong wolf was closely followed.
Behind them, however, there were more people rushing towards them, old people, women, and children.
"Taylor, what's wrong, why do you have to issue a clan-wide summoning order!" After a while, outside the cemetery was full of dense people, when an old man came out of the crowd, and he came to Taylor, and asked very suspiciously.
"Elder Richard, Taylor has a very difficult thing to do. This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for our Blood Wolf Clan, and Taylor really can't make a decision on his own, so he can only call a referendum for the whole clan in front of the souls of the heroes who died in battle.
Hearing his words, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and they launched a referendum for the whole clan in front of the heroic souls who died in battle, for so many years, there was only one time in more than ten years.
That time they decided to rebel against the greedy aristocrats.
Hearing Taylor's words, everyone immediately stopped talking, 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 Wolf Clan and the Archon of the Kajid Mountains, I, in the presence of the gods, swear in the honor of my family that I am willing to deal fairly and impartially with any of the people of my territory."
After reading the notice in his hand, Taylor glanced at the clansmen below, and then said loudly: "Since that year, I no longer believe in those bullshit nobles, they killed our relatives and deprived us of our 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.
For more than a decade, we have won the glory. But to the point of perdition, look at our children, who should have dressed decently, eaten delicious food, and grown up happily. But now, look at them."
Looking at the yellow-skinned and dirty children in the audience, Taylor couldn't help but have hazy eyes and suddenly shouted loudly.
"There was only one way before us, and that was to give up the dignity of our blood wolf race, ask for the forgiveness of our enemies, and then live humbly.
Now we have a new choice, but I don't know if this path is right or wrong for us Blood Wolf Clan......"
