"Damn, what is this?" Seeing a head displayed in his pocket, several Rock Family warriors guarding the door couldn't help but let out an exclamation and took two steps back.

Although Rock XVI was not as out of shape as his own men, he also frowned, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

I saw that the head in the pocket barely looked like a human being, but all kinds of lumpy meat balls covered the entire head, and each head ball seemed to have a small eye in it, which made everyone who saw it have a strong sense of disgust from the bottom of their hearts, and wanted to crush this thing completely.

"My lord, these are the prey we have caught. The leader of the Longhorn tribe showed a little disdain in his eyes, and then immediately returned to normal, and then followed.

Just as the tribal families of Ferut despise the tribes that still follow the primitive life of the Northlands as a group of barbarians, the Northland tribes who follow the ancient customs of the Northlands also consider the tribal families of Ferut to be a bunch of castrated guys, and although neither side shows this contempt on the surface, both sides know what each other thinks.

Although the people of the Longhorn tribe were quick to hide their disdain, it was easy for Rock XVI to see it, and he was a little annoyed by this, but he didn't say much, because it was impossible to say anything about it.

"What are these?" asked Rock XVI, looking businesslike.

The people of the Longhorn tribe also replied seriously: "These are the mutant monsters mentioned in the batch of bounty orders issued by the empire. ”

"Are these mutant monsters?" Rock XVI was stunned when he heard this, and motioned for the people of the Longhorn tribe to open the bag again, and forcibly held back the discomfort in his heart, and looked at the head inside.

The bounty order recently sent by the Empire caused quite a stir in the city of Ferut, and although he was not interested in this matter, he had heard some news about it from family members.

The reason why it is so sensational is because the amount of money marked on the bounty order is very large, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as you hunt ten mutant monsters mentioned in the bounty order, you can make a small family like the Rock Family live comfortably in the city of Ferut for a year.

Thinking of this, Rock XVI couldn't help but look at the other bags, and after estimating the number of these bags in his heart, his eyes looking at these Longhorn tribes also had a trace of envy and jealousy, and it was no exaggeration to say that the bounty obtained by the Longhorn tribe this time would definitely make them the tribe with the most cash in Ferut.

If it were otherwise, Rock XVI wouldn't mind taking a little oil and water from the heads of these bounty monsters, but now the heads of these monsters are the prey hunted by the people of the Longhorn tribe on the Winter Tour, if he dares to do anything on this, then he will not offend a longhorn tribe, and those tribes in the entire Northland tribe who still follow the ancient rites and carry out the Winter Patrol will regard the Rock family that destroyed the Winter Patrol as enemies.

At that time, not to mention that he is the earl of the French Empire, even if he is the prince of the French Empire, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the fate of being hunted down by these tribes.

After understanding the gains and losses, Panshi XVI restrained the greed in his heart, waved his hand at his subordinates, and said, "Let go." ”

Some of the gatekeepers next to them also sensed the value of these heads, and they couldn't help but have some greed in their hearts, so when they heard the order of Panshi XVI, they showed puzzled looks, and looked at their patriarch, and some wondered why the patriarch let go of such a big fish with huge oil and water.

"What's the matter? isn't my order good?" Finding that his men were not following his orders, Rock XVI couldn't help but glare at the people in annoyance, and said with a gloomy face.

Only then did everyone come to their senses, and they all got out of the way, signaling the Longhorn Tribe's convoy to leave.

Seeing the warriors of the Rock Family get out of the way, the people of the Longhorn Tribe breathed a sigh of relief, removed their hands from their weapons, and drove the carriage into the city of Ferut.

Watching the Horned Tribe leave, Rock XVI waved his hand at one of his men beside him, motioned for him to come over, and whispered a few words in the other's ear.

Hearing the whispers, the warriors immediately strode towards the city, and soon disappeared into an alley.

Although he couldn't eat alone just now, he had a way to get a piece of the harvest of the Longhorn tribe, and he didn't have to risk anything, so he smiled smugly at the thought of this, turned and took small steps, and walked towards the warm little room at the top of the Wind Tower.

In the following days, the Longhorn Tribe's Winter Expedition became the hottest topic in the city of Ferrut, not because of how different the Longhorn Tribe's Winter Expedition was and how dangerous the prey they hunted, but because the benefits of the Longhorn Tribe's winter tour from this winter tour were shocking and jealous.

Many tribes who were not interested in the bounty orders also began to pay attention to the bounty orders hanging on the city council bulletin board, thinking about what they would do when this winter passed, and more tribes were looking at the Longhorn tribe, which was not a very powerful merchant tribe.

Now, the elders in the Longhorn tribe are also mixed, happy that their whimsical winter tour this time can be said to be extremely successful, and the harvest is far beyond their expectations, but it is precisely because of their expectations that they have not been able to prepare in advance, resulting in the current predicament coveted by countless tribes.

The Longhorn Tribe were one of the first tribes to arrive in Ferut for the winter, so they were also the first to see the bounty order, and unlike other tribes who disdained it, they saw it as an opportunity.

Because as a merchant tribe, they know very well where all the places suitable for human settlement in the west of the Northland are, and at the same time, they have also been in contact with some scholars and adventurers of the Hanosa Alliance who have come to the Northlands before, know what is happening in the South, and know that a large number of mutants in the Hanosa Alliance are fleeing to the Northlands, hoping to establish some settlements and shelters in the Northlands, and they have even had contact with one of the mutant teams and made trades.

It was precisely because of these advantages that they felt that the money on these bounties was almost in their pockets, and more importantly, they had learned from the tribal council that hunting these mutants was also counted among the prey species of the Winter Parade.

So, when they sent out the people to participate in the pilgrimage, they were very sure that the pilgrimage would be a success, but it was far more successful than they wanted.

If they knew in advance that this winter tour could harvest so much prey, they would never let the clansmen who led the team enter the city with so much prey at the same time, if they dispersed these prey to all the clansmen, and then let the clansmen enter the city in batches, then the impact they caused in the city would be much smaller, and there would be no such troubles as now.

However, although the trouble they have caused is not small, they do not feel panicked, because they have already found a way out, and they only need to pay a part of the harvest to be able to join a large tribe in the city and become a vassal tribe of this large tribe, and these troubles will naturally be solved by this big tribe for them.

For other merchant tribes, they are extremely reluctant to become vassal tribes of other tribes, but for a weak merchant tribe like the Longhorn tribe, becoming a vassal tribe of a large tribe can definitely help them better survive in the cruel environment of the Northlands, the only question is whether the tribe they join is strong enough and has a good reputation.

In the past, many merchant tribes became vassals of some large tribes with poor reputation, but they were eventually annexed by the big tribes, and the longhorn tribes didn't want to be like that, so they were always looking for big tribes to rely on, and the big tribe that contacted them this time happened to be one of the most suitable big tribes to attach to in their list.

And now they have to consider how much bounty should be offered, this amount can't be too much, too much will not be agreed within the clan, and at the same time, they will be considered by the big tribe that they have a strong ability to pay, and the annual payment in the future will be based on this amount, this amount can't be too small, too little will be regarded as an insult by most of the road, and completely cut off this vassal road, then their situation is probably worse.

Just when the Longhorn tribe had a headache about how much money they should pay for their vassals, Leo and their sleigh had already followed the northerly wind to the outside of the walls of Ferrut.

"Is this Ferrut?" asked Mister and Randall, who had been here for the first time, as they got off the sleigh and looked at the towering walls in front of them.

Although before coming here, they already knew that Ferrut was an important town established by the Fran Empire in the Northlands, an important hub city connecting the north and the south, and the largest and only city in the Northlands, they still believed that even if Ferrut was large, it was only equivalent to an ordinary small town.

And now when they saw the towering city wall in front of them, they immediately thought of those ancient big cities in the south, before entering the steam industry, those big cities were also protected by walls like Yikao, and those city walls were much shorter than the city walls they saw now, and this kind of city wall could only be seen in military cities like Yantie City.

Leo dismantled the sleigh, put it away, then looked in the direction of the city gate in the distance, and said, "Shall we climb over the wall, or shall we ......?"

"Why do you want to climb over the wall? We're not thieves?" Sylvia shook her head and said, "If you enter the city from the south, they may search it strictly, but they don't care so much when you enter the city from the north, and we are only scholars who have come to the north to investigate, and we are not dangerous people." ”

With that, she walked towards the city gate, and the others followed.

The group arrived at the city gate, and the warriors guarding the gate reacted the same as Sylvia expected, and although they were curious about them as southerners, they did not show too many questions, and after asking a few questions casually, they let them go.

With the relaxation of the French Empire's control on going to the Northlands, more and more southerners have come to the Northlands, and Ferrut, as the hub of the north and the south, is naturally the only place for southerners to enter the northlands, so after seeing more of these southerners, these gatekeepers are no longer as curious as before.

The only thing they wondered about was that after entering the winter, there were still southerners staying in the Northland Ice Field, you must know that those southerners are not in the Northland Ice Field, even in a city like Ferrut, they can't stand the cold here, and when the first cold wave appears, they leave the Northland one after another, and Leo and their group are the only group of southerners that these gatekeepers will see in a month.

Under the slightly curious gaze of the gatekeeper, the group walked to the square near the city gate, and randomly found a northland man waiting in the square as a guide, and asked him to lead the people to the hotel built by Ferrut for southern visitors, and then inquired about the situation in the city on the way.

Perhaps thinking that Leo and the other southerners had no interests to entangle with the Northlands, this Northland people as guides had no worries, and told them about some of the big and small things that had happened in the city recently, and he didn't notice that when he mentioned the mutants who were hunted by the Longhorn Tribe, the faces of the men and women next to him became extremely ugly.

At this moment, Mister and Randall were extremely guilty in their hearts, because they now knew that it was not only the settlement they were in that was slaughtered by the Longhorn tribe, but also the people of other settlements were also slaughtered by the Longhorn tribe.

And what makes them blame themselves even more is that it is likely that they led the Longhorn tribe to the settlement, because on the way to escape, they met the longhorn tribe's merchant team, and bought some winter supplies from the merchant team, and it was also when they talked to the longhorn tribe that they mentioned the settlement matter.

Although they blamed themselves for themselves, they still endured the pain in their hearts and tried to make themselves appear calm, until they came to the hotel, booked a room, and entered the room, and then broke out of control and began to cry bitterly.

Looking at the gaffe of this couple, Leo and they didn't say anything, and they didn't have any empathy, if it weren't for the existence of Mister and Randall, two people who have an unusual relationship with Sylvia, they wouldn't have any fluctuations in their hearts when they heard the news, and now they would intervene in this matter more because of the way.

After waiting for the mood swings of the two to calm down, Leo looked at the two of them and said: "Tomorrow I will go to inquire about the news, check the location and situation of the settlement of the Longhorn tribe, and we will act tomorrow night, it just so happens that the Longhorn tribe has been targeted by many Northland tribes because of the bounty, and if something happens, it will only be suspected of other Northland tribes, and no one will suspect us." ”

"Have you already decided?" Sylvia asked the two of them suddenly.

"Yes, they should pay!" Sylvia replied with hatred.
