Lord Highlander

   Chapter 497 496. Return to the Territory

  The wind at night was a little cold, so Suldak got up and closed the windows tightly, so that the ogre-like snoring in the yard would be quieter.

   Is there old Sheila coughing from next door...

  Natasha was lying on the bed like a lazy cat, her face was flushed from the aftermath, and Suldak lay back beside Natasha, thinking about what to do tomorrow without feeling sleepy.

   "Aren't you worried about those kobold slaves running away?" Natasha pressed her pointed chin against Suldak's solid chest, and asked him softly.

  Suldak inserted five fingers into her loose hair and said with a smile:

"It's okay to run away. I didn't want to buy so many back. I was worried that I couldn't afford so many kobold slaves. I only planned to buy 200 kobold slaves at first. It was a complete accident to bring back so many kobold slaves! "

   "Are you going to go into the mountains tomorrow?" Natasha asked again.

This was what Suldak was thinking about. After all, more than a thousand kobolds could not all stay in Wall Village, but the stone hammers and chisels in the village were not well prepared. At best, only two kobold slaves could start mining. work, Suldak said: "Well, I'm going to send some dog heads to the rocky area of ​​Pustout Mountain. I can't keep them in the village for nothing. I bought them back to let them mine and work. They They are all good at mining, I am going to let Luke and Andrew take people with them."

   "Andrew is the warrior with the ax on his back?" Natasha asked curiously. Although she was so sleepy that her eyelids were clenched, she still suppressed her sleepiness and wanted to chat with Suldak a little more.

   "Yes." Suldak agreed in a nasal voice, putting his hands on her smooth, brocade-like back.

   "You guys are really special, the one with the black veil..." Natasha said vaguely.

  She spoke too vaguely, Suldak couldn't hear clearly, and then asked: "What?"

  Natasha quickly closed her eyes, just laying her pillow on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and whispered: "It's nothing, it's late, I have to get up early tomorrow, let's sleep for a while..."

  …

The next morning, Selina followed the old village chief to the kobold slave shed at the entrance of the village early, and found that these kobolds were lying on straw mats and sleeping soundly. The old village chief and Selina carefully counted Twice, it was found that none of these kobold slaves escaped.

   Not long after, the village woman who rushed over to make breakfast for these kobold slaves hurried over with wooden basins and cauldrons.

  The old village chief Brett stood at the entrance of the village, scolding these lazy women. It was obviously a bit late to make breakfast at this time.

  Suldak brought Andrew and others to the entrance of the village. Andrew went into the shed himself, selected two hundred stronger kobolds from the group of kobold slaves, and asked them to line up alone.

   Two hundred kobolds lined up in a long line and boarded four carriages parked at the entrance of the village.

In this trip to Pustule Mountain, in addition to all the members of the Suldak security team, Luke also brought five young villagers. Luke and the five villagers will stay in the rocky area of ​​Pustule Mountain and serve as the heads of 200 dogs. Overseer of human slaves.

After this winter, these young people have learned to ride horses, so even if the kobold slaves in the rocky area mutiny, as long as they have enough safety awareness, they can ride horses and evacuate in time, Suldak repeatedly emphasized to Luke, These kobold slaves are fine no matter what, the five villagers brought to the rocky area must return safely.

  These overseers will rotate every month, as will the kobold slave miners.

In addition to these kobold slaves, there were also two large carts of cassava. After all, they did not wait for the late breakfast. A group of six four-wheeled carriages, Suldak took Andrew, Samira and Afro Di, six villagers including Luke rode ten horses, and left Wall Village facing the morning sun, heading towards Bump Mountain along the barren land. Slowly follow behind the team.

   Entering the depths of the barren land and seeing the bare gravel and rocky Gobi on the ground, you can really feel the desolation here.

  Aphrodite looked at the surrounding scenery with her veil on, riding on horseback, squinting her eyes to feel the warm sunshine.

Suldak introduced this barren mountain to Andrew and Samira. Speaking of this is the area under the jurisdiction of their security team, Andrew couldn't help complaining: "This is in the hinterland of the empire, and the only people who can appear here are Some bandit gangs of small powers probably don’t want to set foot in such a desolate place, and our security team’s future tasks are really free!”

   "Last summer, a small group of robbers entered this barren land. Our security team was established precisely to deal with the robber group last summer." Suldak explained to Andrew.

When passing through a mess of rocks, Samira suddenly grabbed the forest bow from the saddle. She didn't see how she drew the hunting bow, nor did she see the arrows on the bowstring. With a buzzing sound, a white wind blade wrapped in a feathered arrow flew out from the center of the hunting bow, and the arrow pierced into a piece of limestone with a bang, and the loose limestone immediately burst.

  A gray iguana secretly basking in the sun under the rock was pierced by a feather arrow.

The ogre let out a cheer, ran up with strides, picked up the gray iguana, and pulled it from the arrow. He grabbed the plump gray iguana in his hand, and opened his mouth without thinking. The iguana's head was bitten with a big mouth, and the iguana's head was torn off, and the bite was creaking.

Then the ogre showed a very exciting expression on his face, waved his hands and feet at the headless gray rock iguana at Surdak, and shouted indistinctly: "Captain, this big guy The taste is really good...”

  Suldak rested his forehead with one hand, and said to the ogre very speechlessly: "I said you should bake it before eating it!"

  The expression of the ogre is also very exciting. He laughed foolishly and said, "I forgot when I was excited. Fortunately, I didn't eat much. There is still time to bake..."

   After speaking, he pulled out the arrow from the gray rock iguana, rubbed the blood on the arrow on his thigh, and handed the arrow to the half-elf archer: "Samila, your arrow..."

  Samira looked at the **** arrow in the ogre's hand with disgust, turned her face away, and didn't reach out to take it, but said lightly: "I'll see you off!"

"good!"

  The ogre Gullitum withdrew his hand happily, and used the feathered arrow to string up the limp gray rock iguana again...

Three days later, the team successfully arrived at the rocky area at the foot of the Pustule Mountain. There were still several stone houses built by the villagers of Wall Village last year. Except for the volcanic ash, everything else remained unchanged. Obviously, almost no one came here. . .

   Luke just needs to cover these few stone houses without roofs with thatch, which is considered to be a simple stone house.

The kobold slaves looked at the pustule mountain that was billowing smoke not far away, and some brilliance finally came out of their eyes. Some kobold slaves even jumped out of the four-wheeled carriage and couldn't help but jumped into the volcanic ash to beat a few Roll away, covered in volcanic ash in the fur of his body.

   Make up for what was missing yesterday
