Chapter 72: Who's Wrong?

The long convoy drove slowly down the winding road, the heavy body making the sturdy wheels creak and leave deep ruts on the thawing ground.

Sarah sat in a convertible with her son Aven in her arms, dazed.

Ten days ago, Sarah lost her husband. Barry hasn't been back since that day when he went out with Hooker's men. Sarah didn't know where Barry had gone, she had looked for it, but she couldn't find it, and even Boss Hook's gang had disappeared.

Without the protection of the man, Sarah and her son were kicked out of the shack after only a few days. Not only did they lose their shelters, but they also faced starvation, and the bread distributed by the church did not fill their stomachs, and they were often robbed. So, Sarah needs to find a new man.

As a fairly young woman, of course there are men who are willing to take her in, but they are not willing to take in Evan, because the boy is already ten years old, and not only does he eat more, but he also has his own ideas.

Sarah gritted her teeth and decided to work as a hostess, not only to support their mother and son, but also to move to a more stable slum.

Sarah, led by an intermediary, meets the big man in Castle Black, the Monkey Master. However, the monkey master gave Sarah a choice, to go to the distant Victor to be a wife, and she could take the children with her!

"Ina, how many acres of land do you have?"

"Harry, he has 13 acres of fiefdom, oh yes, he still has 2,700 points, and he can exchange it for 2 acres of fiefdom. How many acres of land does your man have?"

"Hey! Our family only has 12 acres of fiefdom, but he has 4,000 points. ”

The conversation of several women in the carriage caught Sarah's attention, as they were women who had been recruited together, both had lost their men, most with children.

"By the way, how much land does Sarah have in your family?"

The young woman named Ina spoke to Shanna, whom they already knew, and whose former men had worked under Boss Hook and had not been heard from either.

"We don't have as many fiefs as yours, and Kairi only has 10 acres of fiefdom. Sarah said lightly.

"Ten acres of land is not bad, after all, it's already a vassal, don't you say?" Ina comforted, but the raised volume revealed her pride.

"Carey still has more than 10,000 points left. Sarah added, looking at the wonderful expressions of the women in the car, which made her feel dark for a while.

Women are like this, but whenever they get together again, they have to compare themselves with their men, even if the man has only known each other for a long time. Thinking of this, the smugness in Sarah's heart faded, and she did the same, in just a few days of travel, she found a new man for herself and a new father for her child.

Sarah set her sights on a middle-aged man on horseback outside the car, this was her new man, Carry, although he was forty years old, he was proficient in martial arts, stronger and more powerful than those young men, and he was also a high-ranking man with a fief, a guard for the lord, and most importantly he was very nice to Aven.

As if sensing the woman's gaze, Carey turned back and smiled at Sarah, which made Sarah a little shy, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, while little Evan was still concentrating on a roasted rabbit leg, which was the prey that Carey had hit on the road.

Barry, please bless us wherever you are. Sarah hugged her son tightly.

In the convertible, the conversation of the women gradually became quieter, everyone was a little drowsy, and the long-distance journey was always tiring, even if there was a magnificent purple cane sea, but it would be boring to see too much.

A cheer woke Sarah awake, and she rolled over and hugged little Al, and then groped around for something to defend herself on.

"Sarah, it's okay, we've arrived. ”

A gentle, powerful voice relieved Sarah, and she looked back to see that many people had disembarked and that the convoy had stopped at the gate of a camp.

Sarah wanted to jump out of the carriage when a strong arm reached out, it was Carey.

"Thank you. ”

Sarah blushed and jumped out of the carriage by Carey's arm, and Carey wanted to take little Evan down as well, but the little guy obviously didn't want to give him this face, so he jumped off by himself.

"Evan still has some recognition. Sarah explained to Carey, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's okay! The little one has a good temper. Carey said with a smile

Carey's hearty voice made Sarah let go of the apprehension in her heart, but in fact, Sarah didn't know that the reason why Carey chose to marry her was because Evan was like Carey's dead son.

Sarah looked curiously at the camp in front of her, the high fence was in sight, behind which two arrow towers had been erected, and in front of the fence there were many people digging trenches, and several wagons loaded with flour were driving into the camp.

"Mom, I want to go in and have a look, too!" Little Evan took Sarah's hand and shook it back and forth, and he saw that many of his friends had entered the camp.

"Carey, can we go in?" Many of the women and children who were traveling with her entered the camp in the company of men, and Sarah couldn't help but want to go in and see where she would live.

"Of course, you can look at whatever you want in this camp. Carey nodded.

The camp was about the size of a village, and the flat ground was clearly rammed, and there were many ditches in the low-lying places for drainage, so that it would not become muddy even on a rainy day.

To the left of the camp is a square with long tables and chairs on one side and a shed in the corner with a lot of smoked pork hanging around it.

Sarah looked to the right, and there was a large area of low shacks. Sarah is familiar with this kind of shack, when she was still a leader, she lived in this kind of dwelling, although the shack is low, in fact, it also dug a part of the space into the ground, the interior is not cramped, the walls of the shack are made of excavated earth and thorn branches, very strong and stable. The roof of the hut is made of wooden frames and artemisia grass, like a giant umbrella covering the whole shed. This kind of semi-cave dwelling has a suitable temperature, but it is particularly afraid of water.

Sarah noticed that the shacks were neatly arranged, with exactly the same distance between the front and back, the ditches on the ground to prevent the shacks from flooding, and the ground was clean and free of foul-smelling feces like the shantytowns of Blackcastle.

"Carey, is that shack our home?" asked Sarah eagerly to her man.

The village, clean, neat, orderly, and familiar with the shacks, satisfied Sarah, who believed that in a few years there would be a better life, because her man was a vassal of status.

"We don't live here. Carey shook his head.

Before Sarah could show a disappointed expression, Carey continued, "This is just a temporary camp for the Free People, and it's as stinky as the slums of Blackcastle, how can we live here?"

"We live in a hill camp!"

Speaking of the hill camp, Carey's eyes were shining, and it was the first time Sarah had seen a look of pride in this mature and steady man.

"Let's go, I'll take you home, you can go to the women's bathroom and take a good bath, and I'll leave it to me, and I'll clean him in the bathroom, and then we'll go to the small cafeteria for a nice meal." I haven't had a decent meal in Blackcastle these days. ”

Sarah and little Evan were pulled out of the village-like freedfolk quarter, and she saw a beautiful woman with straight legs and a hot body talking intimately to the Captain Nelson at the door.

"Who is that woman?" asked Sarah, a little curious, the woman's temperament and appearance made her a little ashamed, but how could she be so close to Captain Nelson, who had no fiefdom and no work?

In fact, shortly after the convoy departed, most of the women secretly sent the majestic leader Nelson to him, and some of the bold and confident women even directly offered Nelson to be his partner, but they were all politely refused. Later, when they heard that Nelson had no fiefdom and that kind of valuable work, they turned their attention to the other guards.

"She's Linda, Lord Victor's sheriff, and Captain Nelson's companion. Carey explained to Sarah.

"Captain Nelson's wife is a sheriff?!" Sarah said with some surprise.

"Yes, and Captain Nelson's sister, Lady Lilia, is the personal maid of the Lord. Carey touched his chin, he wasn't sure if Lilia's girl had started serving the lord, but it would certainly not be wrong to call her Madame.

"Nelson is Lady Lilia's brother?!, then why doesn't he have a fief and a share?" asked Sarah, puzzled, her sister was a lady, his wife was a sheriff, and he was the captain of the guard, but he had no fief and no work, which was difficult for her to understand.

"I don't know, anyway, Linda and Lilia don't have a fief and a work, I don't know what the adults think?" Carey shrugged indifferently, he didn't feel injustice for Nelson, what if there was no fief and work, anyway, there were only three of them in the entire camp, and they could freely enter the upper camp, except for the legendary forbidden area, of course.

Nelson didn't notice that they had become the gossip of Carey.

"Are you considered a self-thief, and the Lord told you to recruit women, and you actually carved it up on the way?" Linda crossed her waist and glared at Nelson.

"What can I do? They are all very active, you know, the big guys have fiefdoms, and they all have the idea of starting a family, hehe, now they have wives and children. Nelson explained curtly.

"What about you? Have you found a lover?" Linda stared at Nelson with burning eyes, which was what she was most concerned about.

"Absolutely not! Those women weren't interested in me. Nelson hurriedly waved his hand into a phantom.

"What? Are those women blind?!Are you as bearded as Carey?" Linda was furious when she heard that her husband was unattended.

Nelson's head was suddenly two big, he knew that he couldn't continue to dwell on this issue, he was ready to slip away first, as for Linda, he could be slowly pacified at night, of course, the comfort effect in bed was the best.

"Linda, where is Lord Victor? I have something important to report to him. Nelson said solemnly.

"Lord Victor is hunting in the west, and you should be able to meet him now. ”

Nelson wants to talk to the adults about business, and Linda naturally won't mess around, she is now the sheriff.

————————————

Dozens of ferocious and fat wild boars are scurrying in the purple cane forest, and they are fleeing for their lives.

Three powerful arrows pierced the air, buzzing, and shot precisely into the eyes of the three male boars, piercing deep into their brains, causing the three big men who had taken the lead in the flight to fall to the ground and convulse.

Lost the lead of the male boar, the wild boar herd immediately fell apart and fled in all directions. At this time, human hunters can round up these powerful and ferocious beasts one by one.

Victor held a hunting bow and stood on the periphery of the purple cane forest, raising his hand and three arrows, and the sound of heavy objects falling and wild boars screaming was immediately heard from the purple cane forest that was difficult to see.

Nelson was shocked to hear the dying screams of wild boars coming from the dense purple cane forest.

Victor shot three arrows in one breath, and shot three wild boars running in different directions outside of vision, the most terrifying thing is that the arrows shot by Victor were fierce and fast, and they were not disturbed by the dense purple cane at all, but shot several purple cane, only the cross bow has such power, but Victor used a weak hunting bow!

"My lord, the marksman!" was a great skill for Nelson, which made Nelson sincerely admire.

Victor smiled slightly, exiting the apocalypse state, and he was also very proud. The short bow has a fast rate of fire, a short range, and a small power, but the arrows that can be surrounded by the breeze are fast and urgent, and the power chases the crossbow, Victor can shoot 4 arrows in one second in an infernal state, and even the target outside the field of vision can not escape Victor's perception under the blessing of super sense, and then through X-3 adjustment and locking, it can be called an arrow like a thunderbolt, and a hundred shots are missed.

However, Victor's apocalypse state can only last for forty seconds, and after forty seconds, he has palpitations, dizziness, and can no longer maintain the apocalypse, and after 5 hours, he can return to normal.

In addition, the strength of the shortbow is too low, and it will quickly be damaged under Victor's rapid fire, so Victor plans to have Busso make a silver shortbow.

"Nelson, let's talk as we walk. Seeing that the guards, led by the old mountain people, began to round up the wild boar in an orderly manner, Victor beckoned to Nelson.

"My lord, a lot happened when I went to Blackcastle this time. Nelson lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, making him a little embarrassed to make him feel a little embarrassed to make him decide to give the York family fifty percent of the purple cane wine.

"It's normal if it doesn't go well, so let's talk about it in detail. Victor said lightly.

Nelson followed behind Victor and recounted the Black Castle experience.

"What a coincidence!"

After Nelson finished speaking, Victor turned his head and said, "Nelson, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence that you just arrived in Blackcastle and bumped into the sheriff to arrest someone?"

"What do you mean, sir?" asked Nelson, a little surprised.

"It's too coincidental, and it's too smooth, how could a gang leader like Barol be killed by you so easily?" Victor sneered.

"If he is so stupid, how can he be a gang leader? I am afraid that it is not Barol who will be killed by you, but the steward of the Velpan family. All this was arranged by the York family. ”

"Monkey, that brute dares to lie to us, I'll tear him up!" Nelson furious.

Nelson hated being deceived and used the most, in fact, since the death of the old leader, the War Bear Mercenary Group really has no one who can come up with ideas, which is also the main reason for their decline.

"Alright, the monkey is right, the sheriff is right! Of course, you are not wrong!" Victor patted Nelson on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm.

"My lord, who is wrong?" asked Nelson, scratching his head, confused.

"Of course the steward of the Velpans is wrong, because he is dead, so he is wrong. Victor sneered, this steward, knowing that the family and the York family are on the same page, dares to stir up trouble in the town of Blackcastle, he is really looking for death!

"My lord, I am in charge of my own affairs, and the fifty percent of the purple cane wine 。。。。。。 Nelson bowed his head in shame.

"Nelson, you handled it very well this time! To tell you the truth, even if it were me, I would have killed the steward of the Velpan family! Baron Villepan plotted to kill my men, can't I kill his men? I will also give fifty percent of the share to the York family. The Yorks are showing us that there are people who want to deal with us and that they can shelter us. Victor let out a long breath, as if he wanted to vomit out the grievances in his chest.

"So, sir, I didn't suffer this time?" asked Nelson in surprise.

"Whoever suffers, who takes advantage, not necessarily!" Victor seemed to answer Nelson, and as if muttering to himself.

"By the way, those women you recruited, you let Linda settle them down, let them live together first, and when they get acquainted later, they will naturally be willing to combine with our people. Victor commanded again.

"My lord, the women...... We've already partnered with our people on the way, and they should be living in their respective homes by now. ”

Victor: "You ...... After a long day, you guys went to Blackcastle to attend a blind date?"

The guards were so fast that Victor rolled his eyes.

"My lord, what is a blind date meeting?" Seeing that Victor didn't mean to blame, Nelson asked with a shy face.

"You don't have to go to the blind date, but you're coming tomorrow for a round table. ”

After Nelson left, Victor checked the money bag that Nelson had given him, and there were only 31 gold soles in it.

"Fifty percent of the purple cane wine share, do you really take me as your vassal?"
