Mountain and Forest Kingdom

After Kate left, Salyl walked into the cabin and found Lawrence.

Saryl asked, "What's Kate doing here?"

"Invite us to deal with the Ug people." Lawrence and Seravan carried the plank upstairs together, and said: "Tomorrow you and I, Sofia, Reglo and her two men will go there together."

Lawrence smiled and said: "Reglo should be very willing to repay the Ug people who bullied her."

Salil nodded, "Then let me prepare. The ax has not been polished since the last time I cut the pork bones."

Lawrence suggested: "In the future, separate weapons used for combat and daily use, and don't use food for cooking to fight."

Salil didn't listen to everything and retorted: "I think it's okay. Don't you also use a hoe to work and fight?"

Lawrence didn't understand Salil's little family mentality, "I'll give you a kitchen knife for cutting vegetables and a big knife for cutting bones after a while."

"Really?" Salil looked at Lawrence happily, "Okay, then I will use that ax to fight and a new kitchen knife when cooking."

Lawrence had already had the idea of ​​​​making iron. After Doug and his people set off, the blacksmith's place would be free, and it would not be difficult to borrow the blacksmith's furnace.

Whether it is the manor or the town, the demand for iron tools is very high. If enough slaves are obtained, the excess manpower can be allocated to mining and iron smelting.

The price is that food consumption will be much faster. At that time, you need to use food to exchange for more dried meat from the Cloda people.

Lawrence did not continue to discuss the battle and asked: "What are you having for lunch today?"

Saryl was relaxed at the topic, "Cale cabbage soup, smoked duck, grilled catfish with black berries, berry bread."

Lawrence quickly said: "Then get ready to eat. Seravan and Idi will work together in the afternoon. Idi is not going back today. Those people down the mountain will be very lively after drinking tonight."

Etty said gratefully: "Thank you, kind master."

Seravan also said: "Master... I... I may be able to help you fight."

Seravan has already lost a lot because of his previous avoidance of fighting, and now he wants to wash away his original mistakes.

Lawrence comforted: "It doesn't matter, there will be a chance next time. Tomorrow you can continue working with them at home and build two more shacks for temporary people.

"I will probably bring back five slaves. If there are more, I may not be able to take care of them."

Seravan solemnly agreed: "Yes, Master."

Lawrence soon went out to dinner, leaving Seravan and Edie alone.

The shepherdess has a better temper, and the three of them are slaves who have been working for a lifetime, so living together is actually more acceptable than normal people.

Lawrence went back to the house to eat, and called Regloo to join him to enjoy a hearty barbecue of vegetables and broth.

Reglo didn't eat with Lawrence every day, but Lawrence would have her over every few days.

Loyalty and trust require additional care and benefits if they are not maintained by family status.

Being able to eat with the owner is a recognition of Reglo's identity.

Reglo believed that he was different from cowardly slaves like Seravan, and that he was a loyal subordinate who managed those slaves on behalf of his master.

"Reglo, tomorrow we will go with the Pumixiu people to deal with the Ug people. Do you know how many warriors there are in the Ug people?"

Reglo grabbed the bread in his hand and kneaded the fluffy bread with pea flour into dough.

"I know!" Reglo's eyes were full of revengeful anger, "There are about thirty people who can fight, and the rest are women, old people and children."

Lawrence found that the number was higher than expected.

There are thirty warriors among more than a hundred people, so the number of women must be more than thirty or forty. Add in children and the elderly, and this ratio is quite strong.

But after a quick thought, Lawrence realized that this ratio was not too outrageous, because there were not many old people in Pumixiu either.

There is no such thing as caring for the elderly in the culture of barbarians. People should die when they get old.

The only exception is wizards who are more respected as they get older.

Once a leader like a leader becomes old and frail, there will be young and strong people below him who will not obey discipline.

"You take those two men with me. Tomorrow we will meet at the foot of the mountain, and then we will go to the Ug tribe together."

"After dinner, go rest and warm up, sharpen your axe, and repair your shield. Don't bother your two followers."

Lawrence had a suggestion for Reglo.

Reglo said quickly: "Yes, Master."

After deciding to join the Pumixiu people in fighting the Ug people, the Lawrence family of three began to prepare weapons and leather armor.

Sofia squatted aside sharpening the dagger, and Sariel and Reglo told her how to use the dagger and shield.

Lawrence was not good with an ax and did not bring a hoe this time. He had a better bow and was currently making arrowheads and wooden pegs.

While sitting on a stool grinding an axe, Salil complained: "Doug only gives us food and livestock every time. The best trophies from the big wild boar are the pig skin and teeth."

"If we had leather armor made of large boar skins, the Ug's weapons would not be able to cut through our bodies."

Lawrence was used to Saryl's nagging.

In fact, Salil herself is a talkative girl. She was not familiar with Lawrence at first, so she seemed a little cold.

In fact, she chatted happily with Sophia and Emma, ​​and had a big mouth that could spread news.

After getting to know Lawrence, he usually likes to say what he wants to say, and often does not want to use his brain.

"That's true." Lawrence felt that Salil was right. "Boar leather armor is strong and lightweight. It is more convenient than iron and safer than cloth armor."

Sariel continued: "Not all wild boar skins are suitable for leather armor. Large wild boar skins are the best. My father has leather armor made of large wild boar. I told you, that thing is really strong! "

Lawrence recalled that Andrew did take the sword and leather armor with him when he left.

"Oh, Andrew also has a boar leather armor. I thought he brought a change of clothes and shoes."

Salil showed a surprised expression, realizing that she had never told Lawrence about such a thing.

"No! I remember it very clearly! I told you!" Salil looked at Lawrence with certainty, "I told you before that you are a real hunter only when you kill a wild boar!"

Lawrence said: "I knew that Andrew had shot wild boar, but I didn't know that he had the leather armor of a big wild boar."

"Isn't this certain?" Salil simply couldn't understand Lawrence's mind. "After hunting a wild boar, he would definitely peel off the skin of the big wild boar and make it into leather armor!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know now." Lawrence said that he knew and continued to work and prepare.

Salil also quickly ignored this matter. She kept working and talking about all kinds of strange things in and outside the village.

Sometimes these messages are important, but most of the time they are useless.

After half a day's rest and preparation, the next day Lawrence brought Salil, Sophia, Reglo and two other barbarians to the outside of Andrew's hut.

Under the respectful eyes of all the savages, Lawrence walked into the house and saw Doug.

Lawrence first saw the gray leather armor covering Doug's body and was filled with envy.

Doug saw the bow and arrow Lawrence was carrying, and his wound hurt slightly.
