There was a sudden hint of awkwardness in the atmosphere, after all, it was indeed they who did it first. However, in the eyes of the mountain people, as long as they are Tistans, there is no good thing, and they are right to do anything.

"Hmph, since it has fallen into your hands, give us a good time, the warriors of the Teyi people will never be slaves!" The leader of the mountain people yelled stiffly.

I'm speechless for Kavin, why are you so death-oriented.

"You should be the head of the tribe, I think I need to explain, we are not a slave hunter, let alone an enemy of you, and even, I am here to make friends with you."

Kavin looked at the tribal leader lying on the ground and said sincerely.

"Bah, if you want to kill you, don't try to lie to Lao Tzu, you are disgusting when you say these things." Naturally, the tribal leaders would not believe them so easily, after all, they had suffered too much loss in the years they had dealt with the slave catchers.

"Friend, I'm serious, you can look at this battle, you have killed us mercilessly, but we are using a weapon like a long stick, and there is no insult to you, doesn't this show our sincerity?"

Carvin had the rare patience to explain to the other party, knowing that he was a notoriously bastard, and it was very rare to be able to speak so calmly.

His words made the tribal leader's heart move slightly, and he looked around with his head held high, and found that although he had been defeated, his side did not suffer any casualties.

However, this still can't make him let his guard down, because he has found countless reasons to convince himself, such as that all of them can be sold for more money or something.

Seeing that he was silent, Kavin frowned and said, "I know that you hate the Tistans, but we are different, our lord is a generous and loving nobleman.

Although our territory has also purchased a lot of mountain people, they are not slaves in the territory, on the contrary, they live well, they have food, shelter and clothing, and even allocate their own fields, living the same life as the Tistans in the territory.

We are not here to conquer and kill, let alone capture slaves, but to integrate you into our territory, where you will have a better life. ”

This remark is indeed from the bottom of Carvin's heart, but unfortunately, the leader of the mountain people does not believe it in his heart, Tistan has a good nobleman, so what is the difference between it and a one-horned bull that can climb a tree?

However, Calvin didn't expect a few words from himself to be able to erase the hatred that had accumulated between the two sides for so many years, he just made an impression on the other party by saying this.

As long as they keep trying, it will always work.

"It seems that you don't believe what I say, so let's talk about it, how can you believe it?"

The leader of the mountain people sneered and said, "Speaking is better than singing, and if you have the ability, you will let us go." ”

The corners of Kavin's mouth curled and said, "Okay, as long as you tell me what your name is, I'll let you go." ”

The mountain leader's pupils dilated suddenly, and he glared and said, "Lao Tzu's name is Dulus." ”

"Haha, alright, Durus Chief, you can go now, untie them." Kavin smiled and said to the soldiers.

Before Dulus could react, he felt that the chains that bound him had been undone, and he stood up, only to find that the rest of his people had indeed been released.

He looked at the Tistan man, who was a head shorter than himself, and didn't know what medicine was being sold in the other party's gourd.

"Let's go." Durus stared at Kavin for a while, then yelled behind him, and then cautiously began to evacuate, they tentatively walked to the side of the hill, and found that Kavin and them did not move at all, as if they really had no intention of repenting.

Just as he was about to lead people down the hill, Peter, who had been watching coldly, suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute. ”

The mountain people suddenly became vigilant and gathered together to make a defensive posture.

"Don't be nervous, Durus Chief, you can take this thing, if you don't believe what we say, you can send someone to go to that territory according to the route above, and then you will know that what we said is true or false."

We'll be gone in a moment, and you can take these weapons back then.

However, I would like to advise you that there will be a slave hunting team not far behind us when we leave, and we will arrive here before the sun goes down, and the location of your tribe has been revealed, so move as soon as possible, and inform the surrounding tribes by the way. ”

With that, Peter threw a thumb-sized bamboo tube over, and after Duluth reached out to catch it, Calvin ordered the group to be closed and continue to move deeper.

Dulus and the others did not dare to act rashly until the last person of the exploration team disappeared into the woods, and they dared to believe that all this was true.

At the beginning of the ambush, the mountain man said to Durus in confusion: "Chief, did they really let us go like this?" There won't be any conspiracy, right, what do we do now? ”

Duluth looked at the direction in which Kavin and the others left, his expression was a little complicated, could it be that what they said was true, they were different from those Tistans?

He held the bamboo tube tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, go back to see the chief." ”

A group of people hurriedly retrieved their weapons and headed straight for the tribe in the ravine.

This is indeed a very small tribe, about 300 people, and the more than 100 people just now are all the prime men of this tribe.

The tribe was built on the edge of a small stream, and although the conditions were somewhat rudimentary, the Tei were satisfied.

It was almost noon, and the women of the tribe were washing their clothes by the stream or washing vegetables and animal meat.

A group of half-grown children frolicking in the stream, a happy scene.

Seeing that the men of the tribe had returned, the frightened people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then erupted into enthusiastic cheers, because the men had once again defended the tribe.

Dulus and the others felt very ashamed, after all, they were completely wiped out this time, and if it wasn't for the other party taking the initiative to release them, none of them would have come back alive.

Clenching his fists, Dulus squeezed out the enthusiastic crowd, took the bamboo tube to the stone house in the center of the tribe, and knocked on the door gently.

"Ahem, come in." There was a slightly old voice in the room, accompanied by a cough.

Dulus gently pushed the door in, for fear of frightening the respected old man, he went straight to the old man's bed, and said respectfully: "Chief, we are back. ”

The old man on the bed was far less stout than the others, but looked very thin and old, and his face was wrinkled, and he was obviously very old.

The chief looked at Dulus kindly and said, "Okay, well, you have once again defended the tribe, ahem, you are good." ”

When Durus heard this, he was ashamed and told him exactly what had just happened, especially about the evacuation, he didn't know how to make a decision.

After hearing this, the old man's cloudy eyes became sharper, and he said decisively: "No matter whether what those people say is true or false, it is an indisputable fact that the location of the tribe is exposed, and they can find it, and others can find it."

Hurry up and inform the clansmen, bring the necessary food and weapons, and retreat to the cave in the back mountain as soon as possible, without delay, you know? ”

Duruston was a spirit, and he also became confused because of the matter of Carvin, anyway, the location has been exposed, and now it is only right to evacuate quickly.

After reacting, he immediately went down to prepare, his prestige in the tribe was very high, and he had the approval of the chief, so the clansmen did not complain at all.

Just after noon, all the tribesmen began to evacuate to the cave in the back mountain, they had been prepared, so they packed up quickly.

Dulus personally carried the old and weak chieftain on his back, but he did not forget to let people deal with the traces of their withdrawal, although they were quickly defeated in the previous battle, but he was indeed an experienced hunter and considered it thoroughly.

In less than five hours, they had already evacuated to the cave that had been prepared long ago, which was extremely secluded, and they would definitely not be able to find it if no one led the way.

And there is a lot of food, jerky and other things hoarded here, enough for them to hide in it for two or three months.

Hiding has long become a compulsory skill for mountain people.

Of course, Dulus did not forget to verify the truth of the matter, and he watched the tribe in the ravine alone from the top of the mountain in the distance.

Sure enough, as the sun was about to set, a group of about 100 slave hunters appeared above the ravine, and as soon as they appeared, they attacked, enveloping the tribe with flaming arrows.

Soon the tribe was plunged into a sea of fire, Dulus's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, if they hadn't withdrawn, I don't know how many people would have died in the fire now.

After a few rounds of arrows, the well-equipped slave hunters rushed down in an instant, but soon they found that the place was already empty, and the angry leader of the slave catchers ordered all the houses to be burned down and all the farmland destroyed before they were reluctant to leave.

Dulus hated itchy, but he understood that this was not something his tribe could contend with, so he could only bury his hatred in his heart.

I don't know why, he couldn't help but compare the two teams together, and only after the comparison did he know how easy it was for Kavin and those people to get along with.

He returned to the cave and informed his people of what he had seen, and for a moment everyone was happy and sad at the same time.

Fortunately, the evacuation was timely, and the sad thing is that the home where he and others had lived for more than ten years has now been destroyed, and they can't go out to rebuild yet, because there are already slave hunters targeting here.

After hiding for a while, they have to trek through mountains and rivers to find a new home and continue to survive in this land.

"Chief, what they say is true." Dulus said with mixed feelings.

"Ahem, didn't they give a bamboo tube, open it and take a look."

Dulus hurriedly handed over the bamboo tube, but he didn't have time to look at it.

The chief trembled and opened the bamboo tube, and found that it was a rolled-up object, about the thickness of a little finger, and he opened it, and found that it was actually a road map, which recorded the route of the exploration team.

It highlights the location of the Bastille and a location called Dorman City.

At the bottom of the road map, there is a dense small print written along the lines of the following:

"Honorable Tribal Chief, Ryan. Thunder. Blake greets you on behalf of the tens of thousands of people of Cana, hoping that my soldiers have not caused unnecessary misunderstandings with you.

It is with great sincerity that I invite you and your people to come to my realm and join us, and I promise to give you as well a life as your people.

A thousand years ago, we had the same ancestor, so we should be natural friends rather than enemies, and I feel very sorry and resentful of the actions of other Tistans.

But believe me, the Kana Territory under my rule is different, there are more than 1,100 mountain people in our territory, they live a very good life in the territory, and they will even join the army to defend this territory with us.

If you wish, you can use this route map to go to the city of Cert, which is one of the core of the territory, where many mountain people live, and you can see for yourself whether what I say is true or not.

Finally, once again, I would like to say hello to you first. ”

Looking at the familiar name above, the chief suddenly felt a little dazed, it had been so long that he had almost forgotten that his hometown was called Kanna.

Seventy years ago, when he was a mercenary, the relationship between the Montagnards and the Tistans was not as severe as it is now, and the evil prison city had not yet been established.

When he entered the mountain range to hunt demonic beasts, he inadvertently got separated from the large army, and he lost his way in it.

To make matters worse, he was also injured.

After wandering around the woods for a few days, he finally fainted, and when he woke up again, he was already in the tribe of mountain people, and it was the mountain people who saved him.

His injuries were so severe that he had been recuperating for more than half a year, during which time the mountain people were very enthusiastic about him, and he gradually fell in love with it.

But the good times didn't last long, and a group of greedy slave hunters found the place, and most of the young men of the tribe were killed and wounded, and the leader was also killed in battle.

Fortunately, with the rank of intermediate knight, he took in the chieftain and the remaining people to fight his way, preserved the fire, and found a new habitat.

Because of this, he was loved by all the fallen people, and the chief married his daughter to him, and more than ten years later he became the new chief, until now.

Decades passed, generations of the tribe were born, and he himself was almost forgetting that he was a Tistan......

"Ahem, Duluth." He called softly.

"Chief, I'm here." Duluth hurriedly leaned over.

The chief touched his head and said, "We will hide here for a while, you can follow what is written and take care of your own safety." ”

Dulus exclaimed, "You really believe their words? ”

"Ahem, there's no need for people to deceive us in that situation, do they?

Child, this life of hiding, the people are tired of it......"
