Herod's decision seemed a bit abrupt. The eldest prince could not understand at all why his younger brother would go to the harsh wilderness to avenge a barbarian guard.
He winked at Shiloh repeatedly, but Shiloh pretended not to see it and gave Bullock some definite instructions to prepare some work.
Bullock naturally could not imagine what kind of danger a prince of Pontos would encounter if he followed him into the wilderness. If Herode's identity was exposed, he would definitely be besieged by a large number of barbarians, and he would probably die without a burial place.
Bullock patted his chest and said with a naive smile: "Boss, my brain is not working well. If you accompany me back to the tribe this time, I will definitely succeed immediately."
Shiloh nodded and told Bullock to go down and prepare first, waiting for the compatriots of his tribe to return to the Demon Fortress before preparing to set off.
As soon as Bullock left, the eldest prince held Herod's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, you were too impulsive in handling this matter. You can't even imagine the danger of the wasteland!"
"Let's not talk about the hungry monsters wandering around and the barbarians entrenched in them. The harsh environment alone is enough to destroy a warrior's will. Listen to my elder brother's advice and take your people back south immediately after you go back. These barbarians will have internal conflicts.
What does it have to do with us!"
Shiloh naturally knows this truth, but he also has his own reasons that are difficult to explain. After all, Bullock is not an ordinary barbarian, but is regarded as a future general and a general with heroic qualifications!
Just like Connor is a handsome man who can command the army across the battlefield, Bullock will also become the sharpest knife in the hands of the ridicule in the future, unparalleled in battle, and a rare general.
Now if he is asked to abandon Bullock to protect himself, he cannot do it because he is extremely protective of his shortcomings.
The eldest prince saw that Shiloh was silent and knew that Shiloh had made up his mind. He sighed and said: "Third brother, you always say that I care about brotherhood, but in my opinion, among the three brothers, the one who is the softest and cares most about
It’s you who care about friendship.”
"In this respect you are indeed exactly the same as Lady Sonia."
Shiloh smiled and said: "In that case, brother, please don't try to persuade me. I will assess the situation. If something happens that is beyond my control, I will definitely retreat in time."
The eldest prince nodded silently and began to think secretly in his heart about how he could help his third brother.
After this heart-to-heart talk, Shiloh and the eldest prince had a tacit understanding and did not talk about the matter. Not long after returning to the Demon Fortress, the survivors of the Tomahawk Tribe and the Skull Crusher Tribe also came to the fortress.
After settling these barbarians, Bullock led his people to select some of his compatriots who were still in their prime, and formed a 50-member barbarian team. Under the arrangement of the eldest prince, they disguised themselves as merchants, brought a large amount of meat and goods, and headed towards
Walk deep into the wilderness.
Hilo put on a black robe, pretended to be the leader of the caravan, sat on the carriage, and officially entered the barbarian territory.
At the demon fortress, the eldest prince watched the caravan traveling away without looking back. He whispered to his subordinates: "Prepare the army's food and fodder. In 10 days, we will raid the barbarian territory."
----------------------------------------
Walking northward along the white wasteland, within two days we arrived at the ice valley where dragons and horses were hunted. After crossing the ice valley and continuing north, the terrain gradually became higher and the temperature became colder.
Shiloh looked around. At this time, the sky and the earth were completely white. The cold wind was howling, and it felt like it could make people stagger back. Occasionally, he could see the remains of some frozen dead trees. In addition to the convoy still moving slowly, these
There seemed to be no other living creatures in the vast world.
Being in the wilderness, Hilo couldn't tell the direction at all. He simply had the barbarians who had lived here since childhood leading the team, so he didn't need to worry about getting lost. After crossing the ice valley and walking for a long time, a long river appeared in front of everyone.
It winds and twists and turns, not knowing its end.
At this time, the water veins of this long river dried up, revealing a rugged river bottom with a thin layer of ice crystals on top. The surrounding frozen soil showed a light green color and the soil was slightly soft.
After walking along this long river for another two days, finally, at noon that day, Bullock told Shiloh that they had officially entered the range of barbarian activities, and it would not be long before they could see the barbarian tribes stationed here.
Shiloh was quite nervous. He sat in the truck and covered himself tightly with his cloak. In a group of 50 people, he was the only Pontos man. The other barbarians were all surviving members of Tomahawk and Skullbreaker. According to Bullock,
, these barbarians don’t know the identity of Prince Hilo, so there is no need to worry.
After walking along the long river for more than an hour, Shiloh saw from a distance a slope several miles long as far as the eye could see. The slope was half green and half yellow, forming a semicircle.
, and surrounded by the slopes, there are more than a dozen huge tents erected, tightly surrounded by wooden fences and earth walls, which is a good place to escape the severe cold.
The first barbarian tribe Shiloh encountered was located here.
Seeing traces of humans, Shiloh felt a little relieved for no reason. He had been trekking on the white frozen soil for several days, and the scenery he saw remained unchanged, which made him feel extremely stressed. Now he finally saw the faces of other living creatures.
Traces, finally relieved.
As the convoy advanced, the barbarians in the tribe also noticed the crowd. A dozen tall barbarians pushed open the wooden door and came up to them on guard. Their muscles were like tangled stones, holding bone spears and sharp axes in their hands.
A semicircle formation cautiously approached.
"Which tribe do you belong to? This is the territory of the Beast Tooth Tribe. Leave quickly!"
A barbarian wearing a beast jacket from behind came over and shouted loudly from a distance. Bullock immediately raised his voice and shouted: "We are the tribe that just finished trading with the Demon Fortress.
If I want to participate in the Hundred Hunting Conference, I’m going to give you a way!”
When the barbarian heard this, he immediately shook his head and shouted: "We don't welcome you, get out of here, get out of here, otherwise don't blame my men for being ruthless!"
When Shiloh heard this, he was immediately worried that Bullock would get angry and start a fight with the other party. He immediately shouted: "We are not hostile, we are just using a road. We can use meat and fuel as tolls!"
When the barbarian heard that there was meat and fuel, he immediately hesitated. He looked at Shiloh from a distance and shouted: "Who are you? I saw that you are petite and like a woman. You don't look like a barbarian. Could it be that you are from a distance?"
A merchant coming from the demon fortress?"
Xi Luo nodded hurriedly and responded loudly. The barbarian muttered a few words, turned around and whistled, and saw a large number of people pouring out of the tribe, about 50 of them, fully armed, staring at Xi Luo.
Luo and his party.
"Since you are a businessman, let's come in and chat!"
