At the edge of the pit is a mountain with low peaks, and the tall, dense trees stretch to this point as if they had been cut off, revealing the large, deep pit on the ground. The two elves, Ser and Dan, stood in the crown of the tallest tree on the edge, arm-thick branches at their feet, their falcon-like gazes shuttling back and forth through the surrounding peaks and dense forests, alerting them for any noteworthy anomalies.

The elves themselves have the talent of "keen eye", especially in the forest, which is a big bonus to their ability, so Leon heard about the tragedy that happened among the mountain people, and immediately asked the elves to send out a sentry, unless the enemy's strength far exceeds the two of them, how can they be warned in advance.

At this time, the strange feelings of Bonda and the other mountain people had just passed, and if it was common sense, the mountain people should be very happy to hear that Lord Campbell was dead, but they were obviously more shocked.

"Such a powerful old man can die......" Bonda muttered to herself.

Darren's impression on the mountain people was both profound and complex.

The old man had a few serious battles when he first came into contact with the mountain people, and he led ten knights and more than thirty knights to intercept hundreds of fierce mountain people on the plain, and one charge disrupted the opponent's formation, and then the same battle was crushed.

The fourth-order paladin was no joke, when this old man was blessed with all kinds of blessings all over his body and rushed into the mountain people like a big light bulb, the residual heat emitted by the light bulb alone could make them jump up and down, not to mention those mountain people powerhouses who were facing the attack directly. Fortunately, the paladins are not as unreasonable as the nobles of other territories to treat the mountain people, and they are not easy to kill, as long as someone turns around and flees, even as long as they leave his battle range, Darren ignores them, he only targets those strong people who maintain the will to fight.

After several similar battles, Darren's image and name were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the mountain people, he was almost equal to the invincible existence zài, sometimes seeing this gray-haired old man from a distance, the mountain people did not fight at all, and immediately scattered and fled. And Darren only watched from afar, except for driving back some of the mountain people who had fled to the southern territory, there was almost no extra action.

Since then, more mountain people have known that the powerful lord just doesn't want them to stay in the territory, and that Darren's number of casualties during the expulsion is much smaller than the regular army that once besieged the mountain people, and even far less than the other nobles, which makes the mountain people hate him much less, and in order not to anger Darren, they slowly retreat back into the Bronze Helmet Mountains, and rarely appear on Campbell's plains again.

Ten years ago, Bonda was still young, he had seen the battle of the paladin from afar, and that feeling of being overwhelmed had been pressing on his heart, and it had not dissipated after so many years, and at this time, he suddenly heard that such a powerful person had passed away, and suddenly an indescribable feeling filled his heart, and he didn't know if he should be happy for a while.

Li Ang didn't expect that in just a moment, Bonda had already thought about so many things in his mind, and seeing the change of expression on the other party's face, in order to appease him as much as possible, so as to get the details of the massacre, he said: "Bonda, my grandfather expelled you in the first place, not because the mountain people encroached on his territory, but because you did not produce, took pleasure in encroaching and seizing, and did not obey discipline, which was a great threat to ordinary Campbell people. ”

When the mountain man heard this, he immediately "snorted" and said in a muffled voice: "When we mountain people were in the Bronze Helmet Mountains and Campbell, your people had never been to this place at all, how could it become your territory in a blink of an eye, and instead ask us to obey discipline, it's really ridiculous!"

In fact, there are many quick and easy ways to let these stubborn mountain people tell the truth about the information they need to get, Li Ang squinted his eyes and thought about it, and at the same time his eyes unconsciously looked at Bonda, and then turned to the twenty or thirty mountain people sitting on the ground not far away. As his gaze swept over their emaciated bodies, tattered clothes, and rudimentary weapons, the young man could not help but recall his impressions of the mountain people over the years, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, so he said very seriously: "Words cannot be said like that. ”

"Everything is moving forward, you can't always look at how it was before......"

When Leon began to say this, Caterina and Red, who were not far away, glanced at each other, and could see the meaning in each other's eyes—the young lord had begun to fool people again.

Caterina knew a lot about this, and as long as Leon spoke in this tone, it was probably some kind of ghostly idea, as was often the case in the City of Chaos, where Leon was often juggling between Arin, Edward, and so on.

Red also discovered this character, or habit, in his contact with Leon, especially when he heard that Leon had made an impassioned speech to stimulate the residents of the lower city who had gathered together for a large reward to pounce on the undead army as if they were crazy, which was not something ordinary people could do.

So they knew that Leon must have his own intentions, and Red whispered, "Does he want to win the hearts of these mountain people?

Unlike the inhabitants of the lower city, who value their lives on money, it is said that they have a rather antagonistic conflict with the inhabitants of the surrounding territories, and a few words can change their deep-seated beliefs?

"As long as Leon thinks about it, it's usually not too much of a problem," Caterina said.

Red was speechless by the knight girl's answer, and he scratched his head and turned his gaze to get a different answer from Melissa, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that the assassin girl was looking focused...... No, it should even be said that she looked at the head of the regiment in her mind with admiration.

"These little girls ......," Red was even more helpless, "why are they all so blind!"

Next, the leader of the Primordial Flame Soul Mercenary Group looked at the young man, and suddenly thought in his heart, "Maybe...... Did he really fool these mountain people?"

At this time, Leon's words were almost at the end, "We are here to build and develop, and it is also equivalent to expanding the territory of mankind, don't you see that we have been fighting against the natives of the Pale Mountains for so many years, if those creatures are allowed to spread their sphere of influence here, you can still stay in the mountains safely?"

"I know what I just said is a bit big, but what about the other things? We have brought comfortable living conditions, living conditions that can be fed and clothed, and this does not include the fact that you can get more business environment from it, and if you didn't resist but accepted it, I don't think it would be like this now. ”

Bonda's mind was dizzy, this reaction was not only that the young man's mouth in front of him made it a little difficult for him to understand, in fact, the main reason was that he didn't expect that the young lord not only didn't care about their behavior of destroying the tunnel just now, nor did he use force to drive them back to the mountain as soon as he came up, but instead sat in front of him and talked like a friend, this kind of treatment was completely unimaginable before.

However, when he heard the last sentence, he habitually argued: "We didn't have to worry about food and clothing before! There are so many wild beasts and fruits in the mountains and forests!"

"Why is this happening now?" asked Leon, who had been puzzled by the beggar-like condition of these mountain dwellers from the moment ago.

Bonda hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "After that tragedy, everyone was panicked, and they usually didn't dare to leave their place of residence too far, and in recent times, there have been many more wolves in the entire forest than before, especially those creatures with carrion are often encountered, so we escaped, and many people were lost on the way, and the beasts that can be seen everywhere on weekdays were either eaten by wolves or fled farther away, we ...... There's no food!"

“...... Rotten wolf?" A word flashed in Leon's heart, this is a creature that is more vicious than the night wolf pack, of course, it may also be a demonized rotten wolf at the top of the food chain of the wolf's kiss forest, and when he crossed into this world, the first time he opened his eyes, there was such a creature standing in front of him.

"Your sister......" Leon frowned, "first there was a mysterious enemy, and then the wolves were raging, what kind of rhythm was this?
