Jerome raised his head and glanced at the two savages, "You are..."
"Red Beard," Red Beard replied, and then pointed to the female savage beside him, "This is my sister Iron Spear."
"Lovers." Iron Spear corrected, "We are lovers, from the Mist Snake Tribe."
Jerome said impatiently, "I don't care where you are from, whether you are siblings or lovers, why do you want to be deserters?"
"We are not deserters. Our tribe was plundered by those hateful imperial people. We finally escaped and came to you day and night to ask for help, but you were unwilling to send troops to help me and my tribe."
Redbeard said, "In this case, we don't want to stay here anymore."
"I told you it's not that I won't help you, it just takes some time to prepare. Fighting a war is not an easy task. There are many things that need to be arranged in advance, but I can promise you that in the end we will destroy that empire.
Military.”
"How long will it take in the end?" Tie Qiang snorted, "By then our people will probably all have starved to death."
Jerome glanced at the female savage and said contemptuously, "With just the two of you, what can you do even if you go back now?"
"We may not be the opponents of those imperial people, but at least we can help the remaining people of the tribe find some food. I am the most powerful hunter in the Mist Snake tribe, and I have never returned empty-handed." Iron Spear said with his chest raised.
Jerome was extremely tired of these two savages who had no sense of the overall situation, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with them anymore, so he waved his hand.
"In this case, you can go, but when the land is divided in the future, your Mist Snake Tribe will have to divide less."
However, not long after Redbeard and Iron Spear left, Jerome suddenly thought of something, called Aragorn back, and asked.
"Those savages...have you seen anything unusual lately?"
"Abnormal?" Aragorn was stunned, "They are indeed not very honest during this period, and they are always clamoring for us to send troops quickly. However, their home base was raided by those imperial people, so it is reasonable to be so anxious, right?
."
Jerome nodded, but his frown did not untie, and he said to Aragorn.
"Be careful of those savages and don't let them approach the place where we store food and grass. If you find anyone acting suspiciously nearby, arrest them immediately."
"Do you think any of those savages will fall over to the imperials?" Aragorn was a little unconvinced. "Don't they want to return to the land of their ancestors?"
"Why do we still need the land when the tribe is gone?" Jerome said, "I'm worried that those despicable imperial people will use the lives of their tribesmen to threaten them."
"Then how about we..." Aragorn made a beheading gesture.
Jerome shook his head, "This is the Dragon Ridge Mountains. We still need them to be our guides. Anyway, just be careful. After all, I'm just guessing."
After admonishing Aragorn, Jerome walked out of the tent again, asked someone to fetch his short war horse, and inspected the defenses near the camp to make sure there were no flaws. Only then did his agitated heart calm down a little.
Some.
After dinner in the evening, Jerome drank two glasses of ale. At this time, he just felt a little sweaty and his limbs became more active. Although he wanted to drink a third glass, his reason told Jerome that it was time to stop.
.
So the dwarf general reluctantly put down the wooden wine glass that was about the same size as his face, and lay down on the fur blanket in the tent under the service of his attendants.
Jerome quickly fell asleep under the influence of wine and began to snore.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but he felt someone pushing against his body.
Aragon's voice came to his ears, "Oh no, General, our granary is on fire!"
Jerome finally opened his eyes after hearing the last half of the sentence, sat up from the blanket, and asked his subordinates, "What, were you talking about where the fire was?"
"Our granary!" Aragorn said anxiously.
"Did those savages do it?" asked Jerome.
"No, it's not those savages. I had people watching them and not letting them get close to the granary, but the granary still burned down. It's really weird."
Aragorn paused and then added, "I asked the guards who were in charge of the grain and grass, and some people said that they seemed to have seen bolide in the sky before the grain warehouse caught fire."
Jerome, the name of the bolide, had also heard of it, and even saw a bolide streaking across the sky above the kingdom with his own eyes when he was young.
His sword Spark is also said to be made of bolide.
But he had only seen a bolide once in his almost 200-year-old life, not to mention that it was too coincidental to have a bolide hit the granary.
Jerome's intuition told him that things were not that simple, but before he could ask Aragorn more about the bolide.
Then I heard someone shouting outside the tent, "Be careful, fire, the bolide is coming again!"
Why is there still?!
Jerome was a little confused. He hadn't figured out what was going on with the first bolide, but the second one came again.
This time Jerome didn't wait for anyone to inform him, he just grabbed some clothes and put them on his body, and quickly walked out of the military tent.
He looked in the direction of the fire, and his face suddenly turned ugly, because if he remembered correctly, that place was also a granary.
By depriving himself of food, Jerome pushed both imperial armies into danger and even forced Marquis Cullen to death. Of course, he himself also attached great importance to the food security of the army.
In order to prevent grain burning, he even divided the grain storage he carried into five places for storage. However, two granaries have now caught fire.
An ominous premonition arose in Jerome's heart, and soon the third granary was burned down.
No matter how slow Jerome reacted, he now realized that this was not a bolide at all, but someone was deliberately setting the fire on fire.
However, he called the guards guarding the granary, and those guards assured him that no suspicious person had been near there.
Just as they were talking, the fourth granary also caught fire, and this time someone finally saw the flashing black shadow in the sky with the help of the firelight.
Is the threat coming from above?
Jerome called in archers and asked them to defend the last granary, and at the same time organized manpower to put out the fire and rescue food.
Just when they started to get busy, strange music suddenly sounded in their ears again.
Then Jerome also saw sixteen light pillars suddenly appearing out of thin air in the sky.
One of the light beams coincidentally landed on his head.
It enveloped him and his tent. Jerome tried to raise his head to see where the beam of light came from, but his eyes were pierced by the sudden white light and he could not open his eyes.
