Redbeard and the others were indeed very tough, and would rather go hungry than betray their tribesmen, and were even ready to be tortured.

However, what they didn't expect was that after they rejected the proposal of the black-clothed Empire, the other party didn't embarrass them anymore.

Even the food supply to them was restored two days later.

Only this time the food placed in front of them made their faces very ugly.

- Acorn rye cake.

It is one of the most common staple foods of the savage tribes of the Longcrest Mountains, and is also cultivated on a large scale by savages because rye is more adapted to cold environments and less demanding on soil than wheat.

However, the rye alone was not enough for the whole tribe to eat, so they mixed some acorn flour into the rye cake, and preserved it by smoking the meat obtained from hunting in the mountains.

In this way, the people of the tribe can barely fill their stomachs.

Of course, this is only when the weather is good, and if the harvest is not good and there is not enough food to eat, they can only plunder each other, or go down the mountain together to rob the dwarves.

Eating the familiar hometown food again, Redbeard and the others did not feel warm and happy at all.

Because these foods were stolen by those imperial people, and the one who was robbed was a tribe named Giant Crow, which was very famous in the neighborhood, and the tribe combined numbered seven or eight hundred people.

But this time they faced more than a dozen times as many enemies, and most of the warriors of the Raven tribe had followed the dwarves to block the mountain pass.

The rest of the old and the young, even less resistant.

I could only watch as the female lord emptied all their grain stocks, leaving them not a single grain of wheat.

An old savage wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was kicked to the ground by the soldiers of the empire, but the old savage still hugged the thigh of the soldier in front of him, and pointed to a female savage with a big belly behind him, begging bitterly.

However, in exchange for a severe beating.

Witnessing this scene, the faces of Redbeard and the others were even more ugly, although they were not from the Giant Crow Tribe, and some even had a grudge against the Giant Crow Tribe.

However, the savages who also belonged to the Longcrest Mountain Range, when they saw the catastrophe of the Giant Crow Tribe, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for the death of the rabbit and the fox.

It was only winter, and spring was still early, and if all the food was lost at this time, the vast majority of the people in the Crow tribe would starve to death.

Only the strongest warriors or young women will be able to find new tribes to accept them.

This is also the reason why the old savage is so desperate, because it is difficult for people like him, as well as the pregnant female savage, to find a new place to stay.

Seeing this, the female lord couldn't help but feel compassion, and her excitement after grabbing the food also decreased a lot.

This was the second time she had felt the cruelty of war, and the last time had been when she heard about the death of the Marquis of Coullen.

Duren was a person who had come over, and noticed Miss Rabbit's loss, and took the initiative to speak, "Leave the rest of the looting to me, you can take someone here to rest for a while." ”

"No," Miss Rabbit shook her head, "I've killed a dragon, and I'm the champion of a jousting tournament, so I'm not so vulnerable." ”

"But war is a very different matter," said the former captain of the Kingsguard, "as a commander, any one of your orders can change the fate of many people, especially when the desire to win conflicts with the morality of the heart. ”

"How did you solve this problem?" The female lord humbly asks for advice.

"You've heard of the Silver Knight's name." "He had all the virtues of a knight, and like many people, I admired him very much, and tried to imitate him when I was younger.

"But then I found out that I couldn't be him, especially after taking up the position of Chief of the Imperial Guard, and I chose to remain absolutely loyal to His Majesty, which meant that I had to give up some things, some very precious things."

Miss Rabbit looked thoughtful when she heard this, "That's why you still choose to stand up and testify against Garth even though you know that it may affect your wife, daughter, and the family behind you?" ”

"This is the path I chose, and your path is up to you." Durham Road.

The female lord frowned in thought, then hesitated, as if she was engaged in a fierce mental struggle, but in the end her brow was loosened again.

"Do you have an answer?"

"Nope." Miss Rabbit paused and added, "But I know who to listen to when I'm not sure, and that's enough."

"Help me gather those wild people, and tell them that they can only eat if they do what I say, and by the way, they can rest twice a week."

The female lord robbed the Giant Crow tribe, used their grain as wages, and recruited a group of men on the spot to defeat a wild tribe.

The soldiers of the Empire were mainly responsible for pressing the formation in the rear and preventing the wildlings from escaping halfway.

But they are really a little too worried, there is no food, those wild people will starve to death even if they escape, even if there are no imperial people to follow, they will have to fight with their neighbors now.

Moreover, the giant crow belongs to a large tribe nearby, even if there are not many young people left now, but there are even fewer other tribes, so Miss Rabbit's robbery plan is also going exceptionally smoothly.

By the time she grabbed the fifth tribe, Redbeard and the others finally began to sit still.

Those savages now understood that the Giant Crow Tribe was not suffering because of bad luck, but because they happened to be bumped into by this imperial army.

It's that these Imperials really have a way to find the tribes that are hiding deep in the mountains.

This conclusion made Redbeard and the others feel deep fear.

They can't figure out how the other side did it, but the facts are just in front of them, and they can't believe it.

And if they continue to grab it like this, sooner or later it will be their tribe's turn.

Like the Raven Tribe, they certainly couldn't resist this imperial army, so the savage captives all panicked.

There were also people clamoring to see Li Yu.

It's a pity that this time coincides with Li Yu's Saturday and Sunday holidays, and it will be eight days before the prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect returns.

Miss Rabbit is used to eating acorn rye cakes, which taste average and certainly can't compare to bread, but now is not the time for picky eaters.

The female lord led a group of nobles to gnaw first, so the people below did not complain anymore.

And happiness is all comparable, looking at those hungry savages, and then looking at the acorn rye cake in their hands, you will suddenly feel that this inconspicuous cake has become delicious.
