Not long after Surdak left, in a compartment surrounded by leather in the cave, three old men walked out.

These old natives were dressed in decent clothes, with some precious stones hanging from their bodies, and they carried a cane of polished black wood, the tip of which was inlaid with a large and magnificent gemstone.

The three elders, accompanied by the indigenous patriarchs, sat around the fire pit where they had just spoken to Surdak.

The charcoal fire in the fire pit has not been extinguished, the iron pot on it is still gurgling and blistering, an old man skillfully scoops out the boiling hot soup from it with a wooden spoon, and pours it into three wooden cups in an orderly manner.

The indigenous patriarch Yilmatem sat down, and at this time he was fishing for the outrigger of a ghost pattern worker ant from a soup pot, and sucked it hard, and swallowed the juice in it into his stomach.

The young native, Suen, and several other young people from the tribe crouched at the entrance of the cave and refused to leave.

The women were all driven out of the cave to bask in the sun, and the cave suddenly fell silent.

"He's trying to trade some benefits for the children of the tribe to fight for him, maybe once he goes to the battlefield, he will never come back." The old man sitting in the center said in a somewhat heavy tone: "They still have to cross the hills and mountains and occupy the Invercargill Forest, but how can it be so easy to open up the territory to the north, go north, and get the Worm Valley is a mountain that cannot be climbed, how dangerous it is, needless to say, you should also understand." ”

Hearing the Great Elder say this, the Elder sitting on the right immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's too dangerous outside......"

At this time, the patriarch of Yilmatem shook the soup in his hand, rubbed his big sticky hand on his thigh, put down the soup pot in his hand and said: "But the follower next to him is not from the empire, judging by his status, he should be very high, and his armor has patterns on it......"

"It wouldn't be a good thing if our young people could go to such an army and learn how to fight!" The elder sitting to the left of the Great Elder was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

Patriarch Yilmatem also squeezed out an ugly smile and said:

"When the ant tide comes, even if we hide in the shelter of Thorn Mountain, people will die one after another every day, and the outside world is full of dangers, but why don't we here?"

He touched his belly with his hand and said, "To be honest, I want to make some deals with them. ”

He looked at the rows of rudimentary display shelves in the depths of the cave, and continued, "Trade our herbs and hides for some sophisticated weapons, as long as there are good enough weapons, our tribal warriors can hunt down those soldier ants." ”

After saying this, he touched the magic crystal necklace on his chest again and said: "Sometimes I wonder what is the use of these things, they can only be made into pendants if they are left here, but in their eyes, this thing seems to be very precious, since it is of no use to us, I would rather take it out and exchange it for a few sharp arrows......"

The elder on the left sighed and said, "A few years ago, we were still fighting with the Imperials, we old fellows have all experienced those difficult days, we lost in weapons and equipment at the beginning, if the weapons and armor were half as good as the Imperial army at that time, we might be able to drive them to other places, maybe we could block them in the city and dare not come out." ”

The Great Elder lowered his eyelids and said, "The hatred in the hearts of the young people has become much lighter, and they have forgotten who drove us here. ”

The elder sitting on the left side continued: "Let the young people learn the fighting methods of the ** countrymen, even if we go to war again in the future, it will do more harm to us!" ”

At this time, the young man named Suen, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, said:

"Grandpa, I also want to see the outside world."

The Great Elder raised his head and looked at the childish face, wondering when his gaze had become so resolute.

Thinking that life on this mountain was also full of hardships and hardships, and that if he went to the army of the Empire, the situation might not be much worse, and maybe he would be able to open up a new world, so the Great Elder nodded and said:

"Suan...... Hey, since you all want to make a deal with the people of the Grimm Empire, then do it, they need leather, herbs and magic crystals, all of which need someone who understands the market, let Su En go! ”

The young native exclaimed with an excited face, "Grandpa, I'll bring back those fine weapons." ”

Seeing that Su En was rarely in such an eager mood to do something, the Great Elder nodded in agreement.

The Patriarch of Yilmatem also said with a look of anticipation: "Suen, they shouldn't have gone too far, and it should be too late for you to chase them now." ”

Su En stood up excitedly and said loudly to several companions around him, "If you are willing to go with me, we will leave now......"

……

As Surdak and his cavalry battalion were about to leave Stonehenge, they saw from a distance about two dozen young natives running down the hill in a row, their mouths uttering 'woo' cries like a group of monkeys coming down the mountain to steal corn.

Reining in his horse, Surdak raised his hand to stop the cavalry in front of him first, and turned his head to look at the young natives who were galloping.

The same thing was said by Surdak to the Grand Elder of the Dakuni tribe.

It's just that the great elder of the Dakuni tribe is worried that his power will be divided, and he is unwilling to let the warriors of the tribe come out, and Surdak certainly did not force it too much.

At least he could trade magic herbs with the Dakuni tribe, and now that the entire Invercargill Forest had been destroyed by the ghostly red ants, Surdak didn't believe the claims of the natives, and if those magic herbs grew in the Monster Forest, they would have been dug up by the adventure groups in Dodan Town.

It is possible for the adventuring party not to dig up a single plant, at least if these herbs grow in a very secret place.

He sensed that there was a different atmosphere in this indigenous tribe, and he thought that a trade in supplies was needed to strengthen the trust between each other, and then there would be a windfall.

Unexpectedly, before leaving Stonehenge, a group of young natives roared down the mountain.

Seeing that they should have obtained the consent of the Ilmatem patriarch, Surdak felt that this trip was really worth it.

Twenty young natives, dressed in tattered animal skins and carrying hardwood bows behind them, stood in front of Surdak's horses with excited expressions on their faces.

Suen stood at the front of everyone and said to Surdak with his newly learned imperial Chinese, "I want to join you ......"

He would only say that, which was taught to him by the Patriarch of Ilmatem before leaving.

These indigenous young people all have slightly reddened skin, although their bodies are a little thinner, but everyone has strong muscles, and they are only slightly panting when they run down the mountain, and their physique is very good without testing.

Surdak leaned over and stretched out his hand and said to the twenty-three young natives, "Welcome. ”

Seeing that they were dazed, he realized that they could not understand the imperial Chinese, so he jumped off his horse, pointed at Aphrodite's ghost-patterned male ant, and personally led them onto the back of the huge ghost-patterned male ant and let them sit on it.

The cavalry battalion then set off for the town of Dodan.
