Mountain and Forest Kingdom

There were no surprises in how things unfolded.

Two days later, Etty brought a man with her when she went to work in the mountains.

Kate rides a moose near the gate of the estate.

A thick wall of piled stones appeared on the hillside ahead.

She had already discovered these walls when she saw this side of the hillside. When she got closer to the entrance, Kate was disappointed to find that Lawrence and Salil were not living a hard life on the mountain.

Not living in a shack on the mountain as Emma said.

Kate walked into the gate of the manor and saw not only the neat stone houses in the distance, but also the nearby vegetable fields growing pumpkins, peas, wheat and cabbage.

There is a simple wooden house at the entrance. There is no one inside at this time, but you can see the beds and tables inside through the window facing the outside.

Kate looked at the messy animal skin quilts and wooden jars inside. The bed seemed to have experienced a war and had not been cleaned in time.

However, the dirty bed and the irregularly arranged pots and kettles made Kate feel better.

"Do Lawrence and Salil live here?" Kate sighed and said, "Compared with my home, there are a lot less things in there, and it looks very poor at first glance."

Etty explained: "It's that stone house. The owner and the others have always lived in that stone house."

The stone house is on the hillside in front. The entrance to Kate's side is on the side of the hillside. What can be seen is the left, right and nearby places, but the other side with higher terrain cannot be seen.

"That house doesn't look that big." Kate was not surprised and said easily: "It must be very hot there in the summer."

"If it were me, I wouldn't choose that kind of place to live."

Kate felt much better because of Lawrence's misfortune.

In fact, there is no deep hatred between the two parties. Kate even respects Lawrence.

But when he thought that Lawrence was not as good as himself, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Edith didn't say much, and quickly led Kate along the arranged steps to the top of the hillside.

After standing on the highest point of the hillside, Kate, who was sitting on the moose, finally had a clear view of the manor.

The shepherdess harvested cabbage in the cabbage field in the distance. These vegetables, which can be called cabbage or cabbage, are very delicious. They are one of the few vegetables with a good taste here.

The shepherdess put a packet of cabbage into the basket and went to a nearby pea-growing area to pick fresh peas for cooking.

At the pile of stones a few meters away from Kate, geese, wild ducks, and large silver fish as high as calfs were being hung on ropes and wooden frames.

Rows of meat cuts fully illustrate how abundant the food reserves here are.

Seravan and Laurence were working in the cabin, and Saryl and Sophia were learning shield skills in the hay drying area.

Around this broad and neat manor, there are neatly divided vegetable areas, grain areas, and pasture areas.

Standing high up, you can even see the men and women fishing in the river outside the manor wall.

"Gah!"

Kate was suddenly startled and followed the sound and saw a crow standing on the eaves.

That crow is looking at me!

Kate had this feeling, but soon felt that this would only bring misfortune to the crow, who must have seen the misfortune here.

"This is really bad. Why is this crow here?" Kate seemed to have found some big problem, and frowned but could not hide his happiness.

The crow landing on Lawrence's roof must have been a sign of impending misfortune for Lawrence.

Etty looked at the crow and said, "This is the crow raised by the owner. He has been raising it since winter. It will help catch mice in the ground to eat, and it will also go into the house to sleep by itself."

"When the master calls it, it will return to its master from a far away place."

Edie was in awe of the crow.

Kate showed a look of astonishment, and finally restrained her petty thoughts and stopped comparing herself with Lawrence.

"Mr. Lawrence even raised crows. I have never heard of him talking about this."

Since Salil had something to do and spent all day with Lawrence and Sophia, she no longer had much contact with the women of Phumexiu. Naturally, those people could not get first-hand information here.

"The master built a house there," Etty said.

As former Pumixiu people, Iti and Seravan were often bullied by others after becoming slaves.

Kate was also one of the people who bullied her, and Edie had nothing to say to him.

Kate didn't realize the difference between herself and Lawrence, nor how people like Etty looked at him.

When Kate approached the wooden house, she saw that this wooden house was smaller than her own home, but structurally cleaner and more exquisite.

Lawrence was laying the floor of the stairs leading to the second floor when he heard a puppy barking on the first floor and walked out to take a look and found it was Kate and his big moose.

"Kate, why did you come to me?"

The two little fat dogs no longer recognized Kate, and now they barked at Kate standing at the door like a stranger.

Kate said to Lawrence: "Mr. Lawrence, my father and Vip asked you if you want to deal with the Ug people together."

"Okay." Lawrence agreed decisively: "When?"

Kate explained her mission while looking at the living room with sofas, carpets, tables, chairs and coffee tables.

"Meet up at the mining place tomorrow morning, and then go there together."

Lawrence nodded, "Okay, I will go there tomorrow, six people in total."

"This time I mainly want Ug prisoners and slaves. Don't kill those who don't resist after entering. They are my spoils of war."

"I don't want the rest of the meat and weapon pelts this time."

Kate said, "Okay, I'll tell my father and Vip."

Lawrence had no intention of leaving Kate to eat, "Okay, you go and reply to Doug, I will arrive at Andrew's cabin after dawn."

Kate quickly went out to ride the moose and then left the estate, which looked increasingly beautiful.

In Pumexiu Town, Doug, who was drinking, patiently listened to Kate's reply.

"Okay, if there are six of us, it will be much smoother for us. It just so happens that those slaves have eaten too much, and I don't want to keep them."

Doug happily agreed to Lawrence's request. If Lawrence didn't want those slaves, then Doug would take the captives this time to sacrifice to the God of the Sea, or to train the children in the village.

The Ug people are not easy to fight. Although they are mountain people, they are basically hunters. There are more than a hundred people in the tribe. If the Pumi Xiu people cannot form a numerical advantage, many people will die.

There are actually not many people in Pumi Xiu, and they still have to stay in the village and watch the slaves work. Doug and Vip don't want these people to die in the hands of the Ug people.

But Doug believes that the necessary sacrifices are worth it. Only through this kind of battle can the soldiers recall the glory in their blood!
