"One more mountain and you're out there. "The Yi warriors spoke eagerly to each other, of course, the people of the Pagang Gala family only said to the people of the Pai Ganggala family, and the people of the Heigang Le family only said to the people of the Heigang Le family, even though they were neighbors for generations, and at this time they were arranged in the ranks to a similar order, and the Yi people still retained a deep vigilance as before.www.biquge.info A slave of the house of Pagangara, in need of help, would not ask even a noble priest for help as the slave of the Hegangle family who walked beside him, and the same would be true for the others.

The nobles of the Yi people were very happy to see this, and they did not hesitate to do a little "mercy" to win over their slaves, such as giving a little food to the slaves who came to their door to ask for help in times of famine, keeping their children in the master's house to feed, and those who were brave and good at fighting were given the reward of being promoted to "family" or even "steward", and correspondingly, the slaves who dared to escape to other territories would be shot by them by all means. The mere fact that a slave "talked to his neighbors" could be a crime worthy of death in the eyes of the nobles. They do this with very ingenious intentions, a slave who has been given to self-cultivation belongs to a considerable degree of recognition by the slave owner, is considered to be "raised", and the "raw hands" who have just been caught and have not spent much money, the slave owner has already put a lot of blood on him, how can he starve to death because of a little food? Even if there is no food in the future, the children who can be fostered by them in the master's house must have passed the age of weaning, and some light work such as burning fires and collecting firewood can be done, and the master will not lose money on them. After a few years, their parents will not be able to produce food, and they can still sell the children they have fed, and the owners will not suffer in this regard.

Therefore, they will kill a newly captured slave very casually, just to teach other slaves a "lesson", and when their own slaves come to the door to ask for help, they will give him food to feed his children. In order to cultivate the good character of the slave of "loyalty", they were happy to promote two seemingly diametrically opposed behaviors, and those who could be promoted to the ranks of the slaves were naturally very convinced of this set.

It may sound strange that captured slaves charged into battle and fought valiantly on behalf of their slave owners, but their efforts were often rewarded to a considerable extent by the brutal and cruel slave owners. They did not have to endure twenty years of hard work and pay a considerable amount of money to obtain a daughter-in-law to be beaten and driven, as long as a successful battle was carried out, the generous nobles were not stingy to give them one, two, or even three slaves, and sometimes, in order to buy people's hearts, the nobles would even reward slaves to the relatives of the slaves who died in battle. One can be both a slave to the toast and a slave owner to others, and reap considerable benefits from slavery.

Some officials will arrogantly believe that the army can survive by drinking the northwest wind, and that the warriors will continue to be loyal even if they do not receive rewards and a minimum of respect, and it cannot be said that the arrogant and illiterate Yi nobles do not have the same self-righteous existence as this kind of court, but in the Yi society where there are frequent conflicts, such fools generally do not live long, which is why the Yi nobles can always mobilize the slaves they capture to participate in the battle.

Now everyone's enthusiasm is extremely high, and they know that a considerable loot that has never been seen before is beckoning to them, and oh, the great god Gruul and his priests are with them!

If anyone had doubts about this expedition before, their doubts have been dispelled now. The divine power of the Gruul god is praised by every Yiren warrior, and they have all seen the priests cast spells - the priests can go up the sword mountain, walk the sea of fire, can use a few mysterious words to make their knives heavier, slow steps, and a few gifted priests like Ujida can also use magic weapons to summon the divine envoys to directly defeat the warriors - they don't think that supernatural beings are ethereal legends and fairy tales, they are born, raised, and fought under the protection of the Guru god. Death, every one of their festivals is dedicated to the god Gruul, their hymns are only the gods' of the gods, and in the barren mountains full of wild beasts and poisonous insects, their hearts simply trust the god Gruul and are not distracted by anything else.

They never doubted the divine power of the Gruul, they all believed that a hundred warriors could not accomplish it, the Gruul God could do it with a single "huh", its power could make the river flow backwards and the mountain peaks upside down, and all they could see was that the priests were curing the sick with herbs and distracting them with spells on the battlefield.

And not like this time.

The birds and beasts that fell all the way, and the believers of the Guru god did not need to shoot arrows or draw knives at all, and they had a rich harvest. The farmer fell to his death in the field, and the priest announced that they were sacrificed to the god Gruul, so the people did not feel sorry for it, in front of the village, the great god Gruul would pause his steps, and then it was time for the soldiers to do their job! No one along the road could escape back to the village in time to warn the villagers, so when the heavily armed warriors rushed into the village, the only weapon that the villagers could pick up in time was a kitchen knife, and the kitchen knife was not much better than a toy in front of the warriors of the god Gruul.

"I've captured five men!" one of the warriors shouted excitedly, while another proudly showed off his trophies: "I captured two women!"

The former looked at him enviously, the women of the people outside the mountains were far more valuable than the men of the people outside the mountains, they were also able to do farm work, and they were more docile, they were born slaves, they didn't need to fight a few times, they could become "skilled hands", and besides, they could give birth to small slaves and sell them. Every Yi warrior hopes to catch the women of the people outside the mountain, in the past this is not easy, the women of the people outside the mountains rarely enter the mountains alone, they generally work in the village, and a few Yi people are not allowed to rush into the village, which is also contrary to the Guru God's admonition "do not alarm the people outside the mountain". Now, with the help of the god Gruul, they had so easily entered the village and carried away the mother and children like a bird's nest.

The other harvest was also abundant, and they received from the village a great deal of cloth, grain, and livestock, the abundance of which was unmatched by any toast, and according to the high priest, all the good things they had received so far were nothing compared to all that was found in the "city of the people beyond the mountains." Hearing this, the bravest and most confident nobles and warriors surrounded the High Priest and vied to give him all their spoils in exchange for the opportunity to follow him into the "city of the Outsiders"!

As long as you climb one more mountain, it is the world beyond the mountain.

They climbed to the top of the last hill and saw the world beyond the mountain in the distance—in the sun, it was shrouded in a golden mist, and it looked so beautiful and so defenseless.
