"Captain, the other pirates are all attacking inland, and some of them have already captured the second city." The key member said anxiously.

Being pirates is about stealing things. Can they not be anxious when they see others grabbing wealth wantonly?

"No matter how much you grab, so what?" Jie Lunya said lightly.

"But..." Some pirates were in a hurry, they just came to grab things.

"Idiot, do you really think those nobles are made of mud?" Jielunya shook his head and sneered.

They were able to occupy the coastal cities because they took advantage of them and took them by surprise. They have not yet gained a foothold, and they want to take big strides to rush to other cities, and they are not afraid of getting caught.

When those nobles react, they will be counterattacked sooner or later. The loss is too great now, which is not what Jie Lunya wants to see.

"What are you afraid of? We will flee to the sea after we rob it." A pirate said disapprovingly.

"Hmph!" Jie Lunya snorted coldly, and said indifferently, "What? Are you going to be pirates all your life?"

"This..." Everyone was at a loss for words.

"Captain, what are your plans?" The clever pirate's eyes lit up.

"Don't you think it's better to occupy a piece of land and be a nobleman than die at sea?" Jie Lunya said lightly.

"What? Captain, are you planning to stop being a pirate?" Some pirates were in a hurry.

"Yeah? Captain, don't you plan to go back to the Kingdom of Chris?"

"I still want to go home. My wife and children are still waiting to bring coins back."

"..."

A lot of pirates started talking in a hurry, as if they didn't want to do anything with you until they came home.

Pirates are not all desperadoes, and some unsatisfactory civilians will go to sea to find and plunder wealth, thus becoming pirates.

"Okay, I didn't say I can't go back to the Kingdom of Chris."

Jie Lunya's face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said indifferently, "When we get a foothold here, I will send someone to take you back, and I can also give you a lot of coins, and I still have to rely on everyone to help I'm recruiting people."

"Are you really going to send us back?" a pirate asked lately.

"Of course, when have I lied to you?" Jielunya shouted.

"No, the captain always keeps his word." The loyal pirate shouted.

　"Everyone, you have grabbed the coins, you must give some brothers a place to stay, this time is an opportunity."

Jie Lunya said passionately, "The captains of all the major pirates have joined together to form a pirate alliance to jointly capture a large area of land, and whoever occupies the city will belong to him."

"Huh? Captain, why don't we go and occupy a few cities?" A pirate shouted.

"..." Jelunya's cheeks twitched, and he sighed, "We can't hold it, we occupy too many cities, we can't hold it at all with our strength, and we will lose most of our brothers. It's not worth it."

"Captain, do we want this Haiyan City?"

"Yes, there are many tools for producing salt in this city, so we don't need to bother to build them." Jelunya chuckled.

The place he likes in Haiyan City is salt production. As long as the pirates have gained a firm foothold after the turmoil, that is the time for him to make a fortune.

"Captain, you really have the foresight." The loyal backbone praised...

"Okay, let your brothers be at ease, don't make too much noise, this city will be our home in the future." Jie Lunya warned, he knew that some pirates were very violent.

"Yes." All the pirates responded.

"Go down, Mira stay." Jelunya turned her head to look at the indifferent cat Beastkin standing next to the pillar of the house.

"Yes." Everyone retreated, leaving behind a few loyal men of Jie Lunya.

"Do you want to do the third thing?" Mira glanced at Jay Lunya with her black eyes on the left, with a blindfold on her right eye.

"No, no, I won't waste the opportunity at will."

Jie Lunya shook his head quickly. Looking at Mira with an indifferent face, he said with emotion, "You really don't want to stay and help me? I have a territory now, and you can bring your partner to stay in the territory and help me."

"Impossible." Mira refused straight away. She still wanted to go to Mina. If she hadn't saved them, she would have taken her away long ago.

In order to repay her kindness, she promised to do three things for Jay Lunya, three things that would not violate her self, or she would take people away immediately.

"Alas..." Jie Lunya sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, I won't force you."

"..." Mira glanced at Jie Lunya with her single black eyes, then turned and walked outside, flicking the cat's tail.

"..."

Jie Lunya stared blankly at the background of leaving, until Mi 2.9 Ra disappeared at the door, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He didn't want to turn his back on him yet, Mira and his group of Beastkin played too much role, and the two shots played a decisive role.

Once, when fighting with other pirates at sea, Mira led his partner to take the head of the other pirate, giving him a chance to annex the other pirate.

The second time was to capture Haiyan City. It was Mira who led people to attack Haiyan City at night and opened the gate to welcome them into the city.

This third time, he couldn't use it indiscriminately. What he wanted was to completely accept Mira and the others and make them work for him.

"Captain, directly detain Mira's partner, she must not dare to do anything." A pirate suggested.

"Let's talk." Jie Lunya's pupils flickered.

Chapter 0754 bicycle conundrum.

In the study room of Sheba Castle, HAD was looking at the blueprints in his hands, and there was a girl with cat ears sitting on the desk next to her. She was eating pudding, and her blue eyes were curiously looking at the strange-looking things on the blueprints.

Mina remembered that there seemed to be something on a blueprint in the inner library, and the young master had been staring at the blueprint for more than half an hour, muttering to himself from time to time.

"Young Master, let's have some pudding." Mina dug a large spoonful with a spoon and handed it to the Young Master's mouth.

"Hmm!" HAD held the pen with his mouth open, put down the pen in his hand, then opened his mouth and let go of the spoon.

He looked at the bowl in the cat's ear girl's hand. There was not much pudding left in it, and he said softly, "I'll give you my share of pudding, don't tell Annie."

Pudding is a dessert newly researched by Nicole. It should be said that it was made after there was a freezer.

He knew that the beast-eared girls were greedy, so he set a rule that a person could only eat as much ice a day. He didn't want the beast-eared girls to spoil their stomachs.

"No, let's eat, young master." Mina shook her head hastily.

"No, then I'll give it to Annie." HAD said with a smile on his lips.

"I want it." Mina raised her buttocks and shouted, Enli, that gluttonous fox girl, might show off in front of her.

"Hahahaha..." HAD laughed happily, teasing the cat-eared lady can save most of the troubles.

"Master, were you studying just now?" Mina rolled her eyes charmingly.

"..." HAD was stunned for a moment, feeling that Mao Er Niang was more and more sexy, thinking that he would bully Mina well tonight.

He looked down at the drawing, and said helplessly, "I'm thinking about the transportation that will be suitable for Sheba City in the future."

"Huh? What is a means of transportation?" Mina was stunned, this was another new vocabulary.

"It's something like a carriage that can transport things." HAD explained casually.

"Then what are you bothering about, young master? Is it because we don't have enough carriages? I remember that there are a thousand carriages in Sheba City." Mina still didn't understand.

"The carriage is enough, but the speed is too slow." HAD said lightly.

Now the carriage has been changed into a four-wheeled carriage by him. The load is carried on the four wheels, and bearings are also used, which saves most of the horse's effort, but a horse is a horse, no matter how fast it is, it can't go anywhere.

"Too slow?" Mina didn't understand, and asked hesitantly, "Master, do you want to open the hot air balloon transportation?"

"No, hot air balloons are still too dangerous." HAD shook his head again.

Hot air balloons have been used up to now, and there have been two or three accidents. If it is not equipped with a parachute, I am afraid that there will be casualties.

"Then... the thing on this blueprint is the new means of transportation that the young master mentioned?" Mina immediately understood.

"Well, a bicycle is a means of transportation that can be ridden by a single person, faster than a horse." HAD nodded with a complicated expression on his face.

His road will be built with cement in the future. If there is a bicycle, the speed of the road can be faster than that of a horse. With bicycles between cities, the connection between cities will be closer.

After there is a road, there must be a means of transportation for express delivery. Bicycles are what HAD thought of, and they are also produced by Tongtong in this era.

Of course, some equipment still needs to be brought by HAD from the earth, such as the manual lathe, which is very important and is related to the manufacture of some parts.

With the lathe, some parts can be produced, and the second manual lathe and the third manual lathe can be imitated... This is to achieve the leap forward of the industry with existing tools, and directly let people of this era skip the invention of the lathe and manufacturing.

"Is there any difficulty with this bicycle?" Mina asked softly.

She got up and went to the corner of the study, where there was a freezer. After opening it, she took out a few large pieces of ice and put them in the basin under the desk to cool down the temperature in the room.

"Well, the most important material is missing." HAD lowered his head, looked at Mina who was squatting under the desk, and couldn't help reaching out to pinch the cat's ear girl's ears.

"Huh?" Mina's body trembled slightly, her sensitive ears were pinched, making her a little weak, she raised her head and called out with a trembling voice, "Master~"

"Get up." HAD let go of his hand, he didn't want to wait for Annie and Nicole to come back and run into him, thinking that he had done something dishonest.

Mina's cheeks were flushed, and she nimbly got up from between HAD's legs, wrapped her hands around his neck, and kissed him with her head.

"Hmm!" HAD hugged Maoerniang's waist and put her on his lap.

"Huhu..." Mina panted, blushing, and whispered, "Tonight, I... I'm leaving."

She is either too busy these days, or her relatives are here, and she hasn't slept with HAD for several days. Nicole has been with HAD these days.

"Ha!" HAD laughed dumbfounded, lowered his head and lightly pecked on Mao Erniang's mouth, he understood what Mina meant, he was missing him.

"It's so hot!"

A crisp voice came from outside the study, and Mina quickly got up from HAD's lap, and she recognized that it was Annie's voice.

"Gag!"

The study door was pushed open, and Annie and Nicole walked in.

"It's so hot, I want pudding." Annie entered the door, and the first thing she did was run to the freezer, and took out a palm-sized ceramic bowl from it.

"How is it? Is there enough popsicle production in Binggong 490 Workshop?" HAD pursed his lips and handed the water glass to Nicole.

"It's still not enough." Nicole took the water glass and drank it. She went to inspect the ice workshop today.

"Master, there's still too little saltpeter." Enli dug into the pudding with a spoon, making an indistinct voice, "I've already told Ryan and the others to send over several times the amount of saltpeter."

Just now she went to send Ryan, Obi and others away, mainly to transfer wheat and linen to Ryan and the others.

"Deess, didn't you say anything?" HAD said softly. He chose Deess as the candidate to escort the immigrants to Bella's territory this time.

 : 

"Hee hee... Deess just procrastinates and refuses to leave, she just wants you to see her off, young master." Annie said with a smile, she thought of Deess's way of turning her head three times before she left.

"Next time you come back, give her some more compensation." HAD grinned, he really forgot to send someone off, presumably Deess was about to leave just after she came back, and she must be feeling a little emotional.

"Dice is clearly reluctant to part with popsicles and puddings." Nicole revealed the reason for her reluctance.

"Hee hee..." Mina covered her mouth and chuckled.

Chapter 0755 Explore the confinement mountains.

"Huh? This picture isn't that?" Annie propped up the table with her small hands, and looked at the drawings on the desk with her feet on her feet.

She had a little impression, but she couldn't remember the name for a moment.

"Bicycle." Nicole said.

"Yes, it's called a bicycle." Annie's brown eyes lit up slightly, and she remembered that when she entered the inner warehouse for the first time, all she saw were bicycles.

"Master, do you want to produce this bicycle?" Nicole asked as she put down her water glass.

She knows that many things in the internal library can be used as a reference, and then production will start after the technology reaches the standard.

"Yes, some materials are missing." HAD sighed, the most important thing missing is rubber, the rubber used in bicycle wheels.

He has already planted rubber trees, but it will take a long time for rubber to be produced. In this era, no rubber trees or plants that can be made into rubber have been found. Maybe the area he explored is too small.

There are still many places to use rubber, such as some sealing rings, heat insulation, etc., which will also be used in future steam trains.

"What ingredients?" Nicole asked softly.

"Rubber can make the wheels move more easily and conveniently." HAD briefly introduced.

"Master, do you want to send someone to offer a reward?" Nicole suggested, it was the first time she had heard of rubber.

"Okay, I'll give you some treasures, and I'll offer a reward of one hundred gold coins." HAD thought this was also a way to find things.

Nicole thought about it and asked, "Master, is the reward intended to be published in the newspaper?"

"No, give it to the underground bounty club, don't we have one in Sheba City?" HAD turned to look at Mao Er Niang.

"Yes." Mina said softly.

"What actions are those people doing?" HAD narrowed his black eyes slightly.

He knew about the establishment of the bounty club, and it was his acquiescence, otherwise Mina sent someone to push it away.

What he wanted was information. According to the information received these days, this bounty club was not simple, and there was a large intelligence organization behind it.

It is also the second underground force he has come into contact with in this world. One is the Black Iris organization. He wants to keep this line, and then dig out the forces behind it.

After all, after the unification of the Kingdom of Yingluo in the future, sooner or later, they will have to face these ghosts and monsters. Now start the layout first, and then they can handle it all in one go.

"No, just passing on some information from our side〃~." Mina said indifferently, she didn't welcome these people very much.

"How long is the thread?" HAD asked lightly.

"Fifteen strongholds have been found, and two of them are special." Mina said coldly.

"How special?" HAD asked curiously.

"The stronghold is very guarded, and those behind the scenes don't show up. I think there are important people." Mina said coldly.

"Just let them keep an eye on it, don't act rashly." HAD warned.

"Understood." Mina said seriously.

"I'll write a few more, let people offer a reward." HAD thought of a few other necessary things.

"Okay." Mina replied.

"By the way, what are Jones and Avery doing recently? Are they still studying?" HAD asked.

"They are now learning how to survive in the wild with the special forces." Mina said with a smile on her lips.

After a moment of silence, HAD asked, "Hasn't Lucy gone out recently?"

"No, she stays in her room studying novels." Nicole replied softly.

"That means the two of you are idle now." HAD stroked his chin, thinking about whether to call the two of them out to help.

Jones and Avery mainly protect Lucy and Annie. After all, they are both princesses, so it is not easy for him to force them to do something.

"Master, do you want them to do something?" Annie asked crisply.

"Well, I want to send them to lead a team to explore the Forbidden Mountains, while I still have free time." HAD said softly.

The confinement mountain range is so big, there must be a complete range of species, maybe you can find rubber trees in the mountains, after all, you can even find ginseng.In the worlds on both sides, there must be some similar species.

"Avery, it shouldn't be a problem, we have Gaba following us now." Enli said hastily.

"Jones, she should agree." Nicole hesitated.

Leopard-eared lady is colder than Leiya.

"Let's ask tonight." HAD said with a smile on his lips.

"Master, let me talk." Mina said out loud.

 : 

She doesn't welcome those Beastkin who just take advantage. If the other party doesn't agree, she will "persuade them".

"Yes." HAD nodded. He turned to look at Annie and asked, "Annie, is there any way to go to the restricted mountain range?"

"Huh?" Annie looked at HAD in astonishment, why did she suddenly ask this question?

"¨I always have to find out, maybe the ice and snow over there have receded?" HAD said softly.

"Uh..."

Annie and Mina were at a loss for words, they looked at each other, and there was a slight movement in their eyes.

"I promised you that I will take you back to your hometown to have a look when I have a chance." HAD said gently.

"Young Master, don't worry." Annie said softly.

"So find out now and make preparations in advance." HAD shook his head.

"There is a passage in the Forbidden Mountains, just over the Chaos Land." Mina said softly.

"What kind of passage?" HAD asked curiously.

"It's not considered a gap, but there is a swamp, which becomes a natural passage after it freezes in winter." Annie explained.

"Oh? So it won't be until winter?" HAD frowned. The news is not very good.

"Yes, in normal seasons, if you want to cross the confinement mountain range, you have to shuttle through the forest." Annie sighed.

(Good) She remembered that many Beastkin broke into the confinement mountain range, I'm afraid most of the Beastkin died in the mountain range now.

"In this case, we can only open another road." HAD frowned and said, the swamp is not easy to walk.

Moreover, if you pass through the Forbidden Mountains in winter, the consumption will be even greater. If the supplies you bring are exhausted in the mountains, you may not even be able to get through the Forbidden Mountains.

As for riding a hot air balloon over the Forbidden Mountains, he didn't know how big the Forbidden Mountains were, and it would be even worse if he didn't have enough fuel.

"Master, do you want Jones and Avery to lead the team?" Enli asked in surprise.

"Let's explore first. There's no rush to open the way." HAD shook his head. He was wondering if the airship could be built next year. If successful, he would fly there directly.

Chapter 0756 people who survive in the ice and snow.

It is now summer in Sheba City, but the other side of the forbidden mountain range is covered with ice and snow, and it is white at a glance.

"Huhu..." The cold wind raged.

At this moment, a group of people are advancing on the ice and snow, behind them are simple sleds made of large and small wood, loaded with supplies.

This is a group of Beastkin knights, but they are not wearing armor, all of them are wearing thick animal fur coats and animal leather shoes, and they are tightly surrounded, with only one eye exposed, and sackcloth belts are wrapped around their hands. To prevent frostbite, urinating in the wild in this weather can freeze the urine.

"Master Brun, we still have about half a day to reach Rocky Mountain." A horse Beastkin said.

"Then hurry up. We are a day later than the original scheduled time. I think Master Yami and the others don't have much food left." Bren frowned looking at the goods behind him.

Bren is the captain of this transport team, a 25-year-old Beastkin of the dog family, who is dedicated to delivering food to the Beastkin knights who stay in the Rocky Mountains, and at the same time prevents people from entering the Rocky Mountains.

They were all ordered by the old king of the Brutus Beastkin to stay in the Rocky Mountains to guard the treasure, and wait for the princess and the others to claim the treasure.

In the beginning, there were about 200 people, but gradually many died of starvation, and only 20 people remained.

Among them was Bren and his 12-man knights. They were hunting in the Confinement Mountains and served as a transport team. The Rocky Mountains are not close to the Confinement Mountains. It would take a month between the two to find prey and hunt. time.

Every round trip has to transport some hunted wild animals, as well as picked wild fruits, and some firewood for bonfires to keep warm. The wild animals have to be made into dried meat and brought back to the Rocky Mountains.

It is really difficult to hunt. If the hunted wild animal meat is not made into jerky, the meat will easily deteriorate during hunting in the confinement mountains.

Every time they (cfdf) come out, they will bring these small sleds behind them, which are used to transport the grain and firewood that the Beastkin supported in the Rocky Mountains for half a month.

"People behind, speed up, we've been slow for a day." Bren yelled, turning his head to look at the goods behind with a little anxiety.

If it is calculated based on the fact that no goods are usually pulled, it takes a few days less time to go from the Confinement Mountains to the Rocky Mountains on average. This has to be when the weather is good. If there is a snowstorm, the time will be doubled. up.

It's no wonder that Brun is so anxious, because the remaining Beastkin in the Rocky Mountains are waiting for the food they transported this time. The food they transported last time was not a lot, not to mention the delayed return time this time.

If they hadn't encountered a snowstorm one day on the way, they would have reached the Rocky Mountains already.

Bren's team walked for half a day, and they saw a very high mountain from a distance. The entire mountain was covered with ice and snow, and there was no sign of life at all.

"Master Brun, we are almost there." An Beastkin knight shouted.

"Yeah, be careful not to let the goods roll down when you go up the slope." Brun said in a deep voice, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

　"Yes." The crowd responded.

A few hours ago, they arrived at the foot of the Rocky Mountain, looking up at the slope in front of them. They had walked this road many times, but there were several accidents before, so Bren had to be careful. .

A winding slope leads directly to the mountainside of the Rocky Mountain. Although the distance is not very far, the inside is covered with ice and snow, and it is very dangerous with twists and turns.

The previous few accidents were all due to the slippery road surface, which caused their goods to slip and lost many people.

"Hey hoo hoo..."

A few people in Brunn were pulling the goods in front, and there were a few Beastkin knights on the left and right behind, pushing up with extra force, and everyone was very careful.

They don't want these goods to fall down. This is the food they spent several days hunting.

"Whirring whirring..."

 : 

Everyone squatted on the ground panting heavily, every time they pulled a section of sloping ground, they were all in fear.

"Let's go, let's go in, the cave is right in front of us." Brun waved his hand, signaling them to get up.

Everyone quickly got up, looking at the five-meter-long hole in front of them, they were a little excited for no reason, and finally came back safely again.

They hurriedly pulled the goods and walked into the cave.

"Master Brunn, you are back." At this time, the sentinel Beastkin knights standing on both sides of the cave entrance shouted happily.

"Yeah, I was delayed for a day on the road. Is there any food in the cave?" Brun said, and let the people behind pull the goods in first.

"No, the food has just been eaten, and you came back in time." The Beastkin knight said excitedly.

Brun patted the two of them on the shoulders and walked in. He saw an empty cave, with only a little spark left on the ground, and a few Beastkin clung to each other for warmth.

"Master Yami, we are back, and there are no casualties this time." Brune looked at a standing female Beastkin with a trace of rejoicing.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"One update, (︿). A relative and elder passed away, the update is a bit salty, sorry.".

Chapter 0757 Yami's worries.

"That's good, let's distribute the food first." Yami sighed. She saw a snowstorm a few days ago and reduced the amount of food distributed, otherwise she would not be able to persist today.

She turned her head to look at the few skinny cattle Beastkin sitting there. They used to be elite, but now they are all starved and thin.

Yami is a 23-year-old tiger Beastkin who used to be the personal bodyguard of the Queen of Brutus Beastkin. Because of the order from the king, they stayed in Rocky Mountain to guard the treasure.

"Then Yami-sama should eat some too." Bren said worriedly, he obviously saw that Yami-sama had also lost a lot of weight.

"By the way, no one will follow you when you come back this time?" Yami shook her head ~ asked.

"No, we are very cautious every time we go out, as for..." Bren scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Because he saw that Yami was looking at those beast jerky, and the number was obviously less than _ before.

"Is the hunting not going well? The food is getting less and less every time." Yami turned her head and stared at Brun and said.

"No, we were not hindered, but we didn't dare to go far, fearing that the delay would be too long. The places where we often go hunting, there are not many prey." Bren said shamefully.

"It seems that you should eat less, or you won't be able to last when you come back next time." Yamei looked a little serious after watching it.

"This..." Bren looked at Yami hesitantly.

"It's okay, let's talk." Seeing Brun's appearance, Yami guessed what he was going to say.

"Master Yami, we have been waiting for the big princess and the little princess for six years, and we don't know when they will come. From the original 200 people to the current 20 people."

"I really don't know how long we can last. If there is no food in the Rocky Mountains, we will starve to death in a short time, or..." Bren's eyes were moist after he finished speaking.

"Okay." Yami directly interrupted what Brun was going to say, sighed, and said stubbornly, "Yes, we have been waiting for a long time, but this is the order of the old king, and we must wait."

"I know the prey is hard to hunt now, but we have to persevere, we have to wait until the arrival of the eldest princess and the little princess."

After Yami finished speaking, she glanced at the Beastkin who were adding firewood and sharing food, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

In fact, she doesn't know when it will be the end. Maybe the eldest princess and the others will not come back, but she can't say it. She is the backbone, and she must insist.

"I don't know where the eldest princess and the little princess are now, and whether they are safe." Brun thought that the two princesses had been away for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"It's okay, there should be no big problem. What we need to solve now is our food problem." Yami picked up the topic.

"Although there are a lot of wild fruits in this season, I'm afraid that when the confinement mountain range is covered by snow in winter, our life will be even more difficult." Bren said distressedly.

"Then pick some more wild fruits, store them in the ice and snow, and then slowly transport them over. It's not a big problem if you don't have meat to eat, as long as you don't starve to death." Yami sighed helplessly and said .

"That's the only way to go." Bren said bitterly. There is no meat to eat in winter, but it won't be long.

"By the way, have you encountered other Beastkin in the Confinement Mountains these few times?" Yami asked, and she suddenly thought that all the Beastkin who escaped because of the "Ice Queen's Wrath" would pass through the Confinement Mountains, maybe Some people settled in the imprisoned mountains.

"Yes, there are several small Beastkin tribes, all of which escaped from the Brutus Beastkin kingdom before." Brunn replied in a deep voice.

It was because of those small tribes that there were fewer wild animals on the outskirts of the confinement mountains, and the difficulty of hunting increased a lot.

"Then how are they living?" Yami was a little curious.

"It's not too bad. After all, in the confinement mountain range, picking wild fruits and hunting are more convenient than us. What's more, they also reclaimed some fields to plant some wheat seeds they took away before, and kept them for the winter." Brun said what he knew.

"That's it!" Yami thought about it.

"By the way, we can trade some gold coins from the treasure." Bren said excitedly.

"No, absolutely not, that is the treasure left by the old king to the eldest princess and the little princess, we must not touch it." Yami's voice obviously raised a lot.

"Lord Yami, let's exchange a little bit for food, so that we can have food for the winter." Bren said anxiously.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?

"..." Yami didn't speak, she rested her chin on one hand and her elbow on the other, thinking.

"Just take some gold coins. I believe the eldest princess will not blame us. If we can't make it through, this treasure will not be guarded." Seeing that Yami was a little hesitant, Brun continued to persuade , "If this continues, Lord Yami and everyone will not be able to persist."

Yami thought for a while, then nodded silently, "Okay, just this time, go get a hundred or so gold coins in exchange for wheat and animal skin clothes."

"Yeah, just this time." Bren nodded quickly, heaving a sigh of relief.

...

"Huh, that's not right." Yami frowned, and after thinking for a while, saw a bull Beastkin sharpening his sword for the next hunting. Suddenly, his brown eyes lit up, and he realized what he had missed.

"Master Yami, is there something wrong?" Bren asked suspiciously.

"Since they have settled in the Forbidden Mountains, it means that gold coins are of no use to them." Yami said suddenly.

"Then what should I do?" Bren just remembered that food is more important now, and gold coins are useless instead.

He followed Yami's eyes and saw the bull Beastkin who were sharpening their swords, and suddenly lost his voice: "Weapons?"

"Well, that's right, what they lack is weapons for hunting and defense. Presumably the spears they use made of wood cannot defend against larger beasts." The corners of Yami's mouth rose slightly.

"Weapons... But our weapons are only enough for our own use." Bren fell into worry again.

"You forgot, when the old king left treasures, he also left behind a batch of spears, bows and arrows..." Yamei said lightly.

"That's right, why did I forget?" Bren patted his head in a sudden realization.

"When you leave tomorrow, go and bring some weapons to trade. I don't think they will refuse." Yami turned her head and looked into the depths of the cave and urged, "Pay attention to your whereabouts."

"Yes." Bruno replied respectfully.

Chapter 0758 Kerak's calculations.

"Tatata..."

At this moment, the Duke of Kerak, his son, and a cavalry team of more than 300 people are heading towards the city of Somalia.

Ever since the eldest prince made an excuse to transfer him away from the capital, Kerak had planned many plans in his heart.

In just a few days, he summoned more than 300 knights, and then left the capital and headed westward. After more than a month, he finally arrived at Somali City, the demarcation point of the western land.

"Father, according to the information we have collected in the past few days, it is said that this Somali city has been captured by HAD." Viscount Tove finished.

"Oh? The city of Somalia now belongs to HAD?" Duke Kerak asked in surprise.

He immediately understood that the information given by the eldest prince was not "three, two, three" accurate, and the city of Somalia was actually captured by HAD.

"Father, what should we do now? Shall we go straight in?" Viscount Tove touched the sword at his waist after speaking.

"No, we can't consume our precious combat power in Somali City." Duke Kerak waved his hand, and he will prevent the eldest prince from turning against him in the future.

"We are going to Sheba City, and we have to go through Somali City. If we don't go in, what shall we do?" Viscount Tove asked curiously.

"Is there any information that hasn't been said?" The corner of Duke Kerac's mouth curled into a slight smile.

"By the way, HAD sent a knight captain to garrison the city of Somalia. His name seems to be... called Niu Da." Tove thought for a while before remembering the name.

"Oh? Only one knight captain was sent to guard, how many knights are there in Somalia?" Duke Kerak asked, stroked his beard, and his eyes flickered.

"It seems that there are more than 700 knights in the city." Tove said softly.

"Since HAD likes to kidnap other people's daughters so much, let's make a deal." Duke Kerak smiled after finishing speaking.

"Father, you want Lucy..." Tove was interrupted by Duke Kerak before he could finish speaking.

"Let's go, tell the team to hurry up and get to the vicinity of Somalia before dark." Duke Kerak ordered.

Some words cannot be said.

"Yes." Viscount Tove replied respectfully.

"Tap Tap..."

After advancing for 10 minutes, the team arrived outside a forest more than 5000 meters away from Somali City.

"Tove, arrange it and find a suitable place nearby to camp." Duke Kerak ordered.

He turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment, thinking that the trees here were tall and concealed well, so it was a good place to camp.

"Father, we're only a few kilometers away from the city of Somalia, why don't we just go straight ahead." Tove was a little puzzled.

"It's getting dark soon. When we get to Somali City, it will be dark. It will be easy to be attacked by the opponent." Duke Kerak said angrily. His son still has a lot of shortcomings.

"Yes." Tove replied respectfully, and went to arrange a place to be stationed.

The team then camped nearby and built a fire. Some knights were cooking wheat porridge, while others were roasting some hare meat, which was hunted near the forest.

"I don't know if there are any good-looking beauties in Somalia."

"I don't know if there are any in Somali City, but I heard that there are many stunning female Beastkin in Sheba City."

"Well, then I want two."

"You are too greedy."

"..."

The knights were all discussing their future life, most of them couldn't live without beauties, and they also knew some information about Sheba City.

After a day's journey, everyone except the night patrol knights quickly fell asleep with fantasies.

"Hiss..."

With the neighing of war horses in the morning, the Duke of Kerak and the others were ready to go.

"Let's go to Somali City." After Tove shouted, he retracted his head back to the carriage.

"Yes." The knights all responded in unison.

"It's all sorted out." Kerak asked, the dark circles under his eyes were a bit serious...

He didn't sleep well last night, thinking about all kinds of scenes in which he would proclaim himself king in the future.

"Yes, Father, we will arrive in Somali City by noon." Tov yawned after he finished speaking. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.

"Tap Tap..."

In addition to the time for packing up, at noon, Kerak's team stopped outside Somali City.

"Father, the city of Somalia is ahead." Tove pointed to the city ahead.

"Go and shout, I want to talk to their knight captain." Kerak's eyes flickered.

"Yes." Tove replied and walked up.

"Who?" The knights on the city wall raised their bows and arrows at Tove before he could get close.

Tove looked up at the row of bows and arrows on the city wall, and couldn't help but take a half step back. He turned his head to look at the team behind him, and shouted pretending to be calm, "We, the Grand Duke of Karac, want to talk to your captain of the knights. ."

"The Grand Duke of Karak? I don't know him." The gatekeeper knight replied coldly, they only recognized Lord HAD.

What?He didn't even know who the Grand Duke of Kerak was, and the land to the west was indeed a remote area 3.6.Tove was very angry, but he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of being shot down by the bow and arrow above.

"You just report it, your adults will know." Tove shouted.

"Wait." The soldier replied casually.

In fact, Niu Da was also on the wall, just behind the soldiers, but he didn't want to see him for the time being. It was easier to defend the city, and it was better to let the opponent attack the city.

He had received HAD's order a few days earlier, telling him to defend the city and attack the opponent if he had the chance.

Moreover, the spies in Somali City had discovered the Grand Duke of Karak's team a few days ago, and they were already ready to attack.

. . . . . . . . . . .

" .".

Chapter 0759 buy.

The soldiers on the city wall curled their lips and asked, "My lord, are you ignoring them?"

Niu Da said flatly, "Don't worry about them, it would be the best if they attack, and we don't need to find excuses to start a war."

He remembered what the young master wrote in the letter, the soldiers should also experience the aspect of defending the city, this time it should be regarded as their actual combat drill.

In this way, the two teams, one in the city and the other outside the city, stalemate for most of the day until dusk.

"Father, they don't seem to want to talk to us." Tove said impatiently.

"As expected of a little nobleman in a remote place, even his knights are so rude." Kerak said with a gloomy face.

"My lord father, what should we do now? We have been waiting here for a long time, and every time we ask questions, we always say that their knight commander is busy." Tove said grumblingly.

"Let's go, it seems that we have to make another plan." Kerak waved, signaling them to retreat first

"Tap Tap..."

Kerak and his team retreated to the place where they were stationed last night.

"Director Niu, they're retreating." The soldier grinned.

"Let them go, they will definitely come back." Niu Da smiled slightly.

"Woo..." Kaila's 27-gram team stopped their horses and stopped in the forest where they were stationed last night.

"Father..." Tove was interrupted by Kerak before he could finish speaking.

"Let's arrange camping first. Although we camped last night, don't take it lightly. Look around for potential dangers." Kerak waved his hand and fell into thinking.

It was completely dark, and Tove also arranged for camping, and there were more knights on guard at night.

In the main tent, Kerak and Tove are having dinner.

"Father, what should we do now? Attack?" Tove put down the dry barbecue.

"No, I don't want to waste too many troops in Somalia." Duke Kerak shook his head.

He didn't forget that his biggest enemy was the eldest prince, HAD didn't care about him, and Somali City was not so easy to break through.

"By the way, Father, did you intend to use Princess Lucy as a bargaining chip yesterday?" Tove suddenly remembered the conversation between the two yesterday.

"Use Princess Lucy as a bargaining chip? No, the best bargaining chip is Catherine." Duke Kerak narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Catherine? Marry Catherine to that lowly nobleman?" Tove's eyes widened, looking at his father in disbelief.

"Don't worry, this is just a negotiation. I don't want to waste my troops here, but that doesn't mean I will be stingy in Sheba City." Kerak said with a smile.

"I understand. It turns out that my lord father wanted to keep his troops, so he lied to them that he would marry Catherine to HAD, and let us enter Somalia first, right?" Tove said excitedly.

"Are you that happy?" Kerak glared at Tove.

Tove lowered his head embarrassingly, and then said, "Father, I'll go check it out."

"..." Kerak looked at Tove who was leaving, and sighed, "It seems that I have to practice for a few more years, and my character is completely unqualified."
