The blacksmith shop, where a dozen apprentice blacksmiths are forging ironware, and the blacksmith shop now has two blacksmiths, at this time the blacksmith is forging a batch of half-body armor, which will also be sold as supplies. This is also the highest-income goods in the territory except for sugar.

Robert's caravan carried twenty pieces of half-body armor and forty swords and axes, and the furs accumulated in the same territory were sold to them. Among these furs there is also some special fur, the fur of the gnoll.

The hearts of businessmen in this era are definitely dirty, anyway, Suren can't accept the gnoll fur, but in Robert's opinion, the gnoll fur is the best to get rid of. The fur is very popular on the black market, and the two meters tall of the gnoll makes it easy to make a fur coat, and the fact that it comes from a humanoid creature is its advantage, which makes the fur easier to process.

As for the fact that the fur came from a humanoid creature, no one cared at all. If Su Lun was a little black-hearted, he would have stripped off the fur of the gnolls he had hunted before, and there would be only one or two thousand pieces.

Suren led several barbarian warriors to the iron ore mine northeast of the territory, and yesterday afternoon, Suren received a message that some gnolls had been found near the iron mine. The Iron Mine is guarded by only ten barbarian warriors, and they can't spare the manpower to wipe out the gnolls.

Although the number of barbarian warriors has doubled with the addition of the Barbarians of the Giant Bear Tribe, there is still a shortage of manpower in the territory as the territory grows. Ships go down the river, and with shipping, it is much more convenient for the territory to reach the mining area.

The number of war horses in Sulun's territory is very small, and it is impossible to form cavalry, and these barbarians are tall and tall, plus weapons and equipment, more than two hundred kilograms, ordinary war horses cannot carry weights for a long distance.

The boat slid down the Whitewater River, and half an hour later, the group disembarked at the mine's dock. There was already a barbarian warrior waiting on the dock, and after a brief rest, Suren led ten barbarian warriors to the wilderness northeast of the mine.

Two barbarian warriors with axes cut down the lush bushes that hindered walking in the wilderness. The rest of the barbarian warriors were vigilantly observing their surroundings. The wilderness is lush with vegetation, and in many places the wild grass grows to two or three meters high, which is perfect for hiding.

The barbarian warriors surrounded Suren in the middle, and this environment was very easy to sneak attack. The grass obscured the view, and the sound of some wild beasts being scared away could be heard not far away. There are many beasts in the wilderness, but the number of monsters is very small, and most of them have their own territory.

In fact, the current scope of human activities was cleared by the elves of the last era, and it was not until the elves returned to the elven forest that these lands were occupied by various races, and the humans were later led by those human heroes to defeat the orcs, expel the giants and other races, and finally occupy this land.

The earliest nobles of human beings in this world are all heroes of ancient times, of course, they are heroes first and then nobles, and almost all the ancient nobles of pure blood in this world are descendants of human heroes in ancient times. Of course, since the end of the Second Age, the number of nobles among the human race has increased.

It was also from that period that kingdoms emerged in humans.

......

After about an hour of advancing through the wilderness, the horizon widened and the dirt beneath his feet turned sandy, an environment that was not suitable for plants to grow, and after plants were not so lush, Suren suddenly discovered a valley.

"Which valley to go to. "The best place to live in this wilderness is the valley, and if the gnolls were here, there was a good chance that they would live in the valley.

The group continued to move towards the valley, and after about ten minutes, Suren suddenly smelled blood.

"The smell of blood, it looks like we've found the right place!" Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Suren motioned for everyone to stop.

Let everyone disperse and surround the mouth of the valley, Suren intends to wipe out this group of gnolls. After seeing the barbarian warriors disperse, Suren made another forward gesture, and then everyone advanced towards Taniguchi together.

After approaching the mouth of the valley, Su Lun's expression was a little strange, this valley was unexpectedly quiet, a gust of wind blew, except for some bloody smell, there was no movement in it at all.

Su Lun frowned, told everyone to stop where they were, and then let a nimble barbarian warrior cautiously approach Taniguchi, and then sneak inside.

After a few moments, the barbarian warrior stood at the mouth of the valley and beckoned to everyone, and Su Lun led the people into the valley. As soon as he entered the valley, the smell of blood was several times stronger, and he walked inside with a frown, and soon Suren saw a mess of the scene.

This is indeed a gathering place for jackals, and at this scale, there are at least five hundred people, but now it has been completely destroyed.

In the middle of the valley, there are more than a dozen fires, large and small, and a large number of gnolls are randomly discarded next to the fires, and the flesh and blood on the wreckage have been eaten clean, even the hard skulls have been shattered, and the brains inside have been devoured.

Su Lun frowned and looked at it, there were at least dozens of gnolls discarded here, there were not many traces of battle in the gathering place, and no other creature corpses were found except for the corpses of jackals.

Obviously, the gap between the two sides was huge, and the gnolls didn't even inflict any casualties on them, although it is also possible that those attackers took the bodies of their companions with them when they left. However, judging from the traces at the scene, this probability is very low.

The attackers were so strong that the bones of the gnolls were crushed in many places, and the injuries were usually caused by blunt objects, and in all cases maces. The same is true of the skulls of those gnolls, the huge force directly shatters the skull, such a strong force is not inferior to those barbarian guards.

The attackers ate the corpses of the gnolls, and although there are many races in the wilderness that are accustomed to cannibalism, there are not many races that have the strength to completely crush the gnolls.

For example, swamp giants, frost giants, ogres, etc., although they are of different races, they have a common characteristic, that is, they are not easy to deal with.

Among them, the swamp giants and frost giants belong to the giant subspecies, they are the first era, the powerful creatures in the mythological era, the strength is comparable to the gods, but after the end of the mythological era, those powerful giants have also disappeared and left, and now most of the giant subspecies in this world have only inherited their thin bloodline, although they have only inherited the thin bloodline, but their strength is still strong.
