"Hunting?" Abu shook his head, "To be honest, I love hunting and I can't sit still when I hear about hunting, but it's not bear hunting season. ”

"Oh?" Little Ram was surprised, because there were no bears around the city, but Abu didn't look crazy at all, "Why do you say bear hunting?" We went hunting rabbits and pheasants, and by the way, killed some blacks in preparation for the next slave capture. ”

"Some evil spirits will deceive people so that they think that there are pheasants and rabbits standing opposite, so they let their guard down and go with light bows and arrows, and even slingshots, and they turn out to be bears." Abu shook his head, "I don't make such a mistake, some hunters go out into the wilderness and want to catch a few rabbits and pheasants for dinner, but the bear makes them dinner, I don't make such a mistake." ”

"I still don't understand," said Rahm, "that there are no bears in the wilderness here, and that we will go to a lot of people, and even bears will not be able to do anything to us - we will have to kill some dishonest negroes along the way." ”

"If I kill the Negroes, I will go, because although they are not sold as slaves, many people are willing to buy them after they are castrated, and it is not as difficult to kill them as it is to shoot a rabbit or a pheasant," said Abu, "but hunting—don't you understand?" Then I'll open the skylight and say something, I don't want to catch the rabbit named Turnest, because it's a bear named Turnest. ”

Little Ram looked suddenly realised, "Do you think our bows and arrows are not enough to break that city?" ”

This time, Abu nodded.

"I'm afraid you're going to hunt rabbits, but you're going to be hunted by bears." He said.

This time, Rahm shook his head. "As you said before, that city has plenty of wealth. It was poorly defended—out of proportion to its tall walls! ”

"Yes, I told you. Unlike the other towns of Neustria, Tourneste is a city from the time of the evil ancient empire, and its walls are left over from that time, but inhabited by some cowardly, disunited modern pagans, whom we have killed many times and are no strangers to. ”

"Your intelligence is very valuable, and we have all confirmed its value with our own eyes." Little Ram said, "Though the walls are high, they are not an obstacle to believers in the truth." We have destroyed many fortresses left over from ancient empires, and we know how to break through such walls, and if we had persisted in attacking for one more day, Tournest would have been broken! ”

"But there were unexpected reinforcements." Abu was more annoyed by this than Ram, because he understood better than Ram how they had been exposed to the light of the raid, "I'm afraid they will really strengthen the defenses of Thurnest, with our current bows and arrows, it is not suitable to attack again, otherwise." I was going to hunt rabbits for dinner, and I put myself in the bear's mouth. ”

"That claw did hurt, I don't deny it, and I still have a deep scar on my body. I took the arrow that shot into my body to remind myself of how hateful the heathen were. How dare you rebel against the truth! "But we won't just go with a bow and arrow to hunt rabbits. My father had already invited the brother of the Grand Doge. He accentuated his tone, "Grand Governor of All-Rakad." ”

This unexpected news. Abu was taken aback, "You invited him?" Will he agree? Tournest is just a ......"

Although the city of Turnest is rich, it uses such a large number of troops...... It doesn't seem to be a good deal. And according to the rules of robbers, the stolen goods were to be distributed according to the head and strength. One more help, one more share. With the power of the Grand Governor's brother, Abu was very suspicious that he would be able to get much as a mercenary at that time, and even Ram and the others would not get a lot.

"Yes, but our former hunting grounds, Kolomna, are now so desolate that they can only catch rabbits and pheasants, oh, and bison and wild goats, and who will cross the sea to hunt there? Just a few prey that can be caught outside the city? "We're going to open up a new hunting ground for the truth, you know?" Turnest has proved to us that Newsteria, though a little remote, was far more fertile than Kolomna's, with gold, silver, and slaves, and many other valuable goods—not a simple hunt, but a real hunt, first rounded up and then shot. Brother, I think you'd be glad to get acquainted with the Grand Doge's brother, he's a good man. Little Ram said that the conquest of Turnest had taken on a new meaning within the Lackadians, not just once, but as the target of many raids in the future. Even, if Neustria proved her wealth to the Grand Doge, the Lackadians would send further forces until all of Neustria was converted to the truth.

This time, Abu agreed.

Agree to go and see first in order to decide which side to bet on, whether it will be on Lacard's side or on the ...... There's that weird bow and arrow, there's that Turnest side......

He pulled out an arrow, a three-edged arrow that shone with iron, not the one that had been shot into Ram's body (Ram had taken it to remind him of his revenge), but from one of Ram's equally wounded men.

Although the shape of the arrow was different from that of the leaf-shaped arrows of the Neustria or Colonham traditions, the strange shape of the arrowhead was not the one that worried him the most.

He was worried......

Abu took out another arrow and placed it alongside the previous one.

Same.

It's just a mold poured out......

However, this is the arrow of iron...... Iron, can it also be cast?

He took a breath as he thought of the large pile of iron he had seen earlier in Neustria - this was why he had been reluctant to participate in returning to Turnest, and Ram and the others would face a terrible opponent, a real demon of hell.

However, Ram and the others actually invited the brother of the Grand Governor of Rakad, and the attack on Turnest seemed to be the next strategic goal of Larkkad—it was no longer a simple plunder, but a war.

"Ah, war." The old mercenary sighed inwardly, he was no stranger to war, speaking of which, there would be a war in Neustria every two to three years, and the other northern countries would be similar, but if the brothers of the Grand Governor of Lakkad also participated with the main force, they would not plunder a city but sweep ...... He knew what that meant.

It would be a war of annihilation. (To be continued......)
