Volume Two The Fallen Light Chapter 83 The Eagle Clan
Elos said quickly: "We are passing passengers and we are going to Batoria. I hope you can make it convenient for us and allow us to resupply and rest. We will pay accordingly."
"Why did you come from the depths of this mountain range? I'm rather curious, because Cyril has official access to Batoria, and no one has ever gone deep into this place before." Before the middle-aged man could answer,
, the young man suddenly interjected.
Elos pointed at Yekaterina and replied with a smile: "We are just a guard knight who happened to be passing by, escorting this noble lady to the noble relative's house in Batoria. Because there is some trouble outside,
That's why we went deep into the Rocky Mountains. We have no intention of disturbing your peace. Now that we have sent people there, we should leave."
"Wait! Please explain your 'trouble' clearly first. You already know the location of our village, you can't just leave like this!" The young man stepped forward and blocked the path of the three of them.
Joan of Arc snorted coldly, and a wave of coercion swept over everyone, making them frightened and their souls trembled. Even the middle-aged patriarch at the head looked pale and his body sank.
This level of coercion is actually that of a powerful person in the Holy Realm.
You must know that as the leader of the clan, his strength is that of a gold-level druid, and he is already the strongest in the village. But at this moment, in the face of this mountain of pressure, he has never even thought of taking action.
The three people in front of me, except for the noble lady who could feel that he was just a silver-level magician, these two knights seemed to be strong men in the holy realm. If they turned against each other, they would probably kill their entire village.
The middle-aged man withstood the terrible pressure and immediately said: "Nick, please don't be rude. Is this how we treat guests? I'm sorry, three adults, we didn't mean to offend. Please forgive us."
Discourteous."
The young man named Nick had been suppressed by the strong pressure and could not speak. He could only nod in agreement.
Joan of Arc then withdrew her pressure, allowing everyone to relax, but their whole bodies were dripping with sweat.
Their behavior made the three of Elos couldn't help but sneer in their hearts: When the young man named Nick said something rude just now, you, the patriarch, didn't show any sign of it. Now that he knows our strength, he opened his mouth to be a good person. It seems that he is not in the mountains.
Even though our people are simple and honest, they are just as bullying and afraid of the hard as the people outside!
"No problem, excuse me." Eloise said, turned around and left.
"Three adults, please stay!" the middle-aged patriarch shouted loudly.
"What, do you want to take action and keep us here?" Elos frowned and said, even though he was a good-tempered man, he was a little angry at this moment, these unscrupulous druids.
"I want to keep you, but not as an enemy, but as brothers and friends! You have great strength, and you also saved Brown. Originally, I was worried that our village would be disturbed by the outside world, but now
It seems that I have misunderstood you. After all, if you want to do something, you think that our weak strength cannot resist. Once again, I ask for your forgiveness."
The middle-aged patriarch was a little frightened. After all, these three enemies in front of them were enemies they could not resist. Their survival depended on the thoughts of the three of them.
The girl Jenny hurriedly ran over and said: "Can you please stay? Brother, he will definitely want to see you when he wakes up. He has always wanted to see a real knight! Also, you will like the pine nut cake I baked!
"
Eloise, Joan of Arc, and Ekaterina looked at each other. After exchanging information, Eloise nodded:
"Sorry to trouble you, we just need supplies and a rest. We will pay you in full."
"No, no, you are honored guests. You have been kind to our village. How dare I ask for payment from you." The clan leader waved his hands repeatedly and respectfully invited the three of Elos into the village.
On that day, the middle-aged patriarch entertained the three of Elos at his home.
No outsiders have come to this barbarian village for many years, so almost everyone in the village gathered in the courtyard of the patriarch's house. Even Brown, who was seriously injured, insisted on attending the banquet after he woke up.
The food of these barbarian druids is light and natural, with very little meat or fishy taste. Fortunately, the druids are good at making wine. The fruit wine is fragrant and refreshing, which makes Eloise and Ekaterina feel happy when they drink it. Even Joan of Arc
I couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
After chatting with the middle-aged patriarch Ethan, I learned that this barbarian village is called the War Eagle Clan. It is a human-affiliated tribe of the High Elf Empire in ancient times. The inheritance of the Druid system also comes from that period.
Later, after the High Elf Empire was destroyed by a coalition of humans and other races, most of the High Elves fled the mainland of Toril, and these humans who were affiliated with the High Elf Empire were abandoned.
In order to prevent being liquidated by the human coalition, these people affiliated with the High Elf Empire fled to the inaccessible central mountains.
However, the small number of high elves who retreated to the Central Mountains without escaping from the mainland of Toril strongly rejected these once-affiliated subjects, believing that they were as unreliable as the humans who had breached the royal court of the High Elf Empire, so they expelled these people from the Central Mountains.
the core area.
As subordinates of the high elves, they are not tolerated by the human empire, which considers them to be slaves of the high elves.
As a human, after the High Elf Empire was destroyed by the coalition forces of various races led by humans, we lost the trust and protection of the High Elf.
It can be said that he is not human on both sides.
In desperation, these abandoned people had no choice but to cross the most dangerous areas of the Central Mountains and migrate to other inaccessible areas.
In the end, after experiencing countless extremely harsh environments, defeating countless groups of monsters, and sacrificing the lives of countless tribesmen, the people were able to successfully cross the Central Mountains and reach the Rocky Mountains. They settled here.
For thousands of years, these abandoned people have lived in the deep mountains with little contact with the outside world. Explorers and other people who occasionally go deep into the Rocky Mountains are also good at camouflage and concealment because the barbarians inherited the Druid system.
There are few traces of their villages and gathering points. Even if a few strong people discover them, it will only add to the legends and anecdotes of the Toril continent.
Gradually, the abandoned people of the High Elf Empire became the barbarians that were spoken of by the mainland population.
The three of them looked thoughtful after hearing this, especially Ekaterina.
Because the three of them observed that although there are only a few hundred people in this village, and the most powerful patriarch Ethan War Eagle is only a gold-level druid, the ratio of druids to warriors in this village is higher, and the average strength is higher than that of humans.
The empire's elite army is even stronger.
In other words, these barbarians are a natural fighting race.
"Chief Ethan, how many tribes like yours are there in the Rocky Mountains?" Yekaterina asked.
Ethan was a little drunk at the moment, and he was already grateful and in awe of the strong, so of course he knew all about it.
"There are dozens of tribes like us in the Rocky Mountains, large and small. Of course, our War Eagle Clan is relatively small. Large tribes, such as the Mammoth Clan, have a population of tens of thousands. It's a pity that the people in the mountains
The environment is too difficult, the resources are limited, and there are too many ferocious monsters. As the remnants of the high elves, we have been fighting against the harsh environment for thousands of years. The population is decreasing instead of increasing, and the living space is getting smaller and smaller.
Maybe in the near future, we remnants will all disappear in the long river of history."
After saying this, Ethan, who was filled with emotion, took another sip of sake, and the expressions of everyone around him also dimmed.
Yekaterina's eyes lit up: "If I could give you a place to live outside the mountains, would you go out of the mountains?"
"Of course, there are more resources outside and the land is more fertile. You can have enough food and clothing without spending too much effort. However, will the current human empire accept us and tolerate us?" Ethan only thought of Yeka.
Jelina just asked and didn't take it too seriously.
Eloise and Joan of Arc immediately understood that Ekaterina wanted to use these barbarians, who were almost all soldiers and had good fighting ability, as a force for revenge.
