Chapter 188: Not Returnable

"You're too quiet here, too. Now that all the tribes have gathered here, the places that are slightly more conducive to camping are occupied, and I didn't expect there to be such a secluded place. "You don't need to look at the empty night outside the house, you just need to listen quietly to the evening breeze and the chirping of insects to realize that there is only this yurt here.

This was strange to the Earl, for the entire clan had been surrounded by the information he and his companions had gathered, and judging from the distance they had traveled, it was not too far from the wolf lord's clan.

The old man smiled and added some water to the copper kettle, then reached out and pulled a rope hanging from the wall, causing a hole the size of a man's head to open in the side of the yurt. This is for ventilation, and it is very dangerous to start a fire in a closed room, which will produce harmful gases to the human body, and if it is allowed to accumulate indoors, it will have bad consequences.

After inviting the cool air into the tent, Lichou said slowly, "It's been a bit lively lately, but it means that people's eyes are on those valuable things. Just avoid that thing, and there should be as many secluded places as there are. Just like when you are fighting, those positions that are conducive to ambush are always carefully explored, but those who are really good at ambushes can always find unexpected positions to attack. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a sneak attack, it could only be called a surprise attack, right?"

"Do you still know the science of battle formation?" the earl blinked, knowledge related to military affairs, especially war, is not easy to understand anywhere, especially when it comes to military strategy, it needs to be taught by a special academy.

This is mainly because ordinary people's understanding of war can only see the part of it that it shows, and it is difficult to calculate human life as a pawn and a number from a higher perspective with a calmness that goes beyond the appearance of cruelty. Every strategist and excellent commander, the training, knowledge and experience they have received are all stacked with human lives.

"I can't compare with you, you can be regarded as a celebrity on this grassland, and there are many generals with names and surnames in your hands. Some guys who didn't defeat you also blamed you for the defeat in order to shirk their own responsibilities, so even if you don't have three heads and six arms in the ears of many people, it's not too much. "The wolf lord has been in control of this grassland for not a day or two, although the location of the tribe itself is quite far from the blue lion, but some of the tribes under the wolf lord's banner are a little farther away from the kingdom than the water antelope tribe.

The climate in the grasslands is unpredictable, and raiding is a means of survival, and it is also a tradition that has been accumulated out of necessity. In recent years, as the Hammer Lords have grown and grown, the raiding has been far less enjoyable than in the past, and some tribes have had to turn to the wolf lord for help, and it is natural to mention why they have not been able to defeat the weak non-steppe people, and what kind of walls those who do not live according to the way of the spirits have built with stones, what kind of army is under the walls, and what kind of people are leading them.

The Count looked at the shaman, trying to read the hostility hidden in the latter's old countenance. He should be hostile, and no one can calmly treat a person who has killed a lot of his own race as an ordinary person.

For a moment, Lothar even thought that the other party had saved her in order to use herself as a medium to cast spells. But he did not succeed, there was no hostility, on the contrary, the goodwill was quite obvious. This doesn't make sense, how could a shaman in the steppe show kindness to the earl of the blue lion?

"If you know who I am, why did you save me? I have a lot of grassland blood on my hands. Lothar asked, scratching her head.

"Why did you kill them, did you do it out of personal vendettas, or did you do it out of public anger?" The difference between him and the Elven Elder's entire face covered in hair was that he had no hair on his face except for his eyebrows, a long whisker above his lips, and on his chin.

"Neither. The two armies are at war, each with its own master. The Count replied at once that it was for this reason that most of his murders had been made.

"That's it. There is nothing to regret about breaking into someone else's house with the intention of killing someone, and being killed. When a man hunts a wild beast because he is hungry, and a wild beast attacks a man because he is hungry, the beast is certainly not good from a man's point of view, and the beast will not be considered a good person. The two are hostile to each other, and the longer the time passes, the more victims there are, the more unsolvable the enmity becomes. However, no matter how hostile man and beast or man or man are to each other, birth, old age, sickness and death will come to each individual as scheduled. We are all dust, and gathering and dispersing are only a brief moment, and it is too wasteful to be trapped in the unbreakable shackles in this brief moment. Of course, I can say that because I'm almost time to scatter. ”

Lothar's expression became a little more depressed, because he knew that the other man was right, and to admit this obvious reality meant to accept that human life itself did not seem to weigh as much as it seemed. Although he understands this truth logically, there is always some resistance in his heart.

"The topic seems to be off track, sorry, people say irrelevant things when they get older. Also, there aren't many people who can talk to me. The children were more frightened when they saw that I was outwardly respectful, especially now, no matter what the outcome of the ritual was, they couldn't be the same again. This is also part of the change, and the part that does not work is not accepted. ”

The Earl nodded, pulling his thoughts back to the moment, "Regarding the gray robe I saw earlier, I still think it would be better to confirm it. It's best to communicate with him, they are too capable, and even if they are not malicious, sometimes they will do things with serious consequences. And multiple friends are better than multiple enemies. ”

"I know what you mean, when the day comes, you will go to the White Wolf's camp to find your gray-robed friend and tell him what happened tonight. ”

"What about you? I promised to protect you before the ceremony. Lothar frowned, the knight must keep his word. Besides, after tonight's incident, he didn't feel at ease about letting this old man be here alone.

Lichou subconsciously wanted to tell Lothar that nothing would happen during this trip, but he soon realized what the Count really meant by saying this.

"Well, okay. I'll go with you to him. Now that I have made a move tonight, my heart will be moved, and since I have moved, I will understand it quickly. so as not to affect the ritual when you get it. ”
