When the Pharians reached the Ottoan camp again, the Navi were making the final preparations for the first group to depart. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a busy scene in the camp, although chaotic, but in such a harsh winter, it really makes people feel a warmth.

The Pharians searched everywhere, hoping to find someone they knew to help them get across. Just when the three of them were about to experience what it was like to be "unrelated", a childish voice rescued them, "Mom, big brother, big brother." Madame Romedal followed her daughter's instructions and saw the figure of the Falensi.

"Mr. Chiang, here." Madame Romedal greeted Saugland.

The well-trained Falencians soon spotted each other and immediately led their horses to the side. "Ah, ma'am, my men and I are at a loss of what to do."

"Mr. Chion, my husband is about to send someone to find you. I didn't think you were here on your own. ”

"Oh, really?" Sogrend thought to himself that the Navi people's position must have changed too quickly.

"If you don't have any urgent business, can you please come with me to my husband's place?"

"It's my honor, then Mrs. Lao is leading the way."

The Falencians followed Madame Romedal towards the center of the camp, greeting Sogrerd with many people along the way. This makes Jayne and Maqi feel very unreasonable, presumably their boss is one of the most successful profiteers in history.

"This is it." Mrs. Romedal led the three to the door.

"Thank you for showing the way, then let's go in below." Thorgrande owes a debt and pushes the door in.

"Eh, Celeste, you can't go in, Daddy and Big Brother have something to talk about." Mrs. Romedal stopped her daughter, who was trying to break free from her arms.

"Ah, it turns out that Ling's daughter is called Celeste." Jayne likes children, "Come on, Celeste, how about playing with me?" ”

Who knew that little Celeste suddenly hid back in her mother's arms, muttering, "Don't, uncle." ”

The short words pronounced by the cute child's voice had an incomparable mental lethality, and Jayne's face immediately fell, "Why? Why? I'm only three years older than Master Chion. Although he has already married and had children, how can a child distinguish this clearly? ”

Ma Qi patted his colleague on the shoulder, expressing regret for his lost youth, and comforted: "Probably this is a woman's intuition." ”

Besides, Saulgrande walked into the house and saw that Romedalar was still sitting on the edge of the fire, in the same position as the last time they had met. Romedahl's face wasn't very good, maybe he was under more pressure than I thought, Sogrend thought and sat down across from him.

"Lord Romedal, do you have any special instructions for inviting me again?"

"Mr. Chion, I'd like to hear what you said last time."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being unreasonable, I refused your request." Sogrend replied unceremoniously.

"Why?!" Romedal was a little surprised, didn't the Farencians want Navi to lose some strength in the internal struggle? Aren't they happy to fight in Navi Wo and let them live in peace?

"I think for a wise leader who made it clear enough last time that I don't need to repeat some unimportant details again. If you insist on that, let me say beyond that you are hesitating. You need me to state once again something that you already know all too well, just to give some hints to myself to strengthen my resolve. Romerdal shuddered unconsciously, and although his body was out of his control, he knew in his heart why he was reacting. On the other hand, you are evading responsibility and psychologically pushing the responsibility onto the subordinates. I'm sorry, I can't do that because I can't be accountable to Navi. It is you, or all the Navi people, who are responsible for Navi's future, not me, a stranger. Sogrend quietly explained his reasoning.

"Mr. Chion, you're right." Romedal gasped weakly, but as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"You really should be the king of Navi, after all, you don't just have the Otto clan in your heart, but the whole of Navi. If you really want me to say, then please don't scruple too much, everything is for Nawei, this is the principle of judgment that you should uphold. "The silence lasted for a few moments," I said. ”

"Mr. Chion, I now believe that you are genuinely here for Navi's future, otherwise you would not have refused my request." Romedalar surged to his senses.

"I just don't want to be your scapegoat." Sogrend replied.

"Hehe, you're still so good at joking, no matter what, I hope to be friends with you, true friends!"

"If you can make our friendship sublimate into the friendship of Farency and Navi, be happy to do it." Sogrand owes himself.

"Do you have anything else?" Romerdal asked with a smile.

"Uh......" Thorgrande still found it difficult to speak, "Exactly, my subordinates and I want to go south with the migration party of your tribe, I don't know what is inconvenient?" ”

"That's great, if you're in a hurry, let's go with the team that left today." Romedal boldly agreed.

"Thank you very much for your thoughtful arrangement."

"In that case, there is something I would like to ...... to entrust you"

"I will do my best to take care of the safety of Madame and Mademoiselle along the way."

"That's great." Romedal wondered if he had a bit of a tacit understanding with this Farensi.

"The friendship between the god of war and King Romedal seems to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable and necessary. The Phrensia needed this friendship because they were not strong enough to easily deal with threats from all sides; Navi needed this friendship because it took time for them to adjust to the violent storm of transition from clan society to feudal society. -- A speech by a history graduate student in response to a question from his supervisor during the dissertation defense.

Of course, this is indeed a logical inference. Regardless of whether it is true or not, no one can deny the influence of this friendship on Pharensi and Navi. In the years that followed, Pharynsi and Navi were allies for much longer than they were hostile or neutral to each other.

Romerdal let his wife and daughter go first, followed by himself and the rest of his people. In addition to the heavy snowfall, which slowed down the preparation for migration, it was more for safety reasons. He was always worried about the revenge of the "Mebris", so he sent the weakest of his people to the south first. After all, there are still remnants of the ancient Navi tradition in Romydal's mind, and he believes that the most likely revenge plan will revolve around him, so the farther away his loved ones are, the safer they are. Moreover, he did not think that the sons and daughters of Tovding would have the courage to escalate such a personal feud into a tribal feud, and that even revenge against the Navi would be done justly.

"Won't Reesel and Duff come with us?" Madame Romaidal was saying goodbye to her husband, Reesel as their eldest son and Duff as the second.

"They're all over fourteen years old, and they should be warriors of the clan, and they can't stay with you anymore, and everyone will laugh at them. Since the beginning of this year, they have been following me in action, you don't have to worry. ”

"You also have to be careful, the weather is cold these days, I'm not here, you have to know to take care of yourself."

"You too, you don't have to worry about superfluous things. If there is any accident along the way, Mr. Chion will go with you, he is a reliable man. Well, it's not my mother-in-law's. ”

The Navi convoy set off slowly, and after the heavy snowfall, the weather was unusually clear. The winter sun is even a bit harsh, but it doesn't help to raise the temperature of the air. The wind was still strong, whirring through the woods, and the biting cold was sent into the cracks of everyone's clothes.

"Don't stare at the snow all the time, your eyes won't be able to stand it." Maggie reminded Jayne.

"Oh, I see." Jayne replied, "Parelo has never snowed so much. ”

The two chatted without saying a word, and Saugland stayed by Madame Romydal's bullock cart.

"Mr. Chion, Celeste seems to like you." Mrs. Romedal said with a smile.

"It seems so." Thorgrande found himself a little afraid of the little girl.

"Big brother, hug." Celeste held out two more small hands to him.

Thorgrande glanced at the mother, who did not have the slightest desire to help him, but smiled and obeyed his daughter's wishes. Sogre had no choice but to carefully take the little girl from her mother's hand and place her on his mount. The little girl hummed happily in his arms.

This situation aroused the discussion of subordinates: "It doesn't make sense, I am only three years apart from adults, why am I called 'uncle' and adults are called elder brothers?" Jayne was clearly still haunted by what had just happened.

"It seems that His Excellency Huo Lin's words are not only not exaggerated, but also reserved."

"How?"

He said that adults can kill women from 80 to 8 years old. I think the lower limit should be lowered to three years old. After listening to Ma Qi's opinion, Jayne immediately cooperated and put on a posture of "listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years".

Even when he was so ridiculed by his subordinates, Sogre only smiled bitterly.

While the Pharansis were at ease, a lurking crisis was gaining momentum. About three fats south of Otto's convoy, the coniferous forests were unusually dense, and the roads were lined with slightly raised dirt slopes, making them suitable for ambushes.

"Brother, are you sure that Romedal himself is in the convoy?" An unfamiliar female voice with a thick voice and a special hoarseness. However, the sound was not unpleasant, but rather had a mature charm.

"Of course, it's no wonder that coward doesn't run away first."

"Everyone cover their faces, don't show their feet later, this time let Otto pay for his blood debt." It's still the same female voice.

"Simone, you're so cautious."

"I don't want to break Navi's traditions." Simone replied coldly. She was Simone of Mebeles, the daughter of Tovding, the sister of Starr, and of course one of the main leaders of Mebeles today.

According to Navi tradition, if a relative has been killed, but they have no evidence against the murderer, then they can resort to the ancient blood relatives for revenge. Only the relatives of the deceased can participate in the revenge operation, and the object can include any relatives of the enemy. As long as they do not leave evidence at the time of their actions, then the other party cannot demand that they be punished. Normally, this kind of revenge between families will end in a compromise, but there are also examples of life and death. In the case of Mebeles and Otto, there was almost no precedent before, because after so many years, the patriarch was related to almost everyone in the clan. If blood revenge is unleashed due to the relationship between the patriarchs, it is possible that it will turn into a war between the two clans. Therefore, Romedal did not think that Tovding's sons and daughters had the courage to escalate such a personal feud into a tribal feud, putting the family feud above the interests of the clan.

Well, Sogrend, as always, was the first to perceive danger, but the Navi were certainly worthy of praise for their mobility. When Saulgrande discovered the danger, the "danger" had already turned into a sharp arrow in the sky, attacking the unsuspecting migratory team. The Grim Reaper's scythe swept through the crowd, instantly taking away the plural of lives. There's nothing more memorable than the sight where the sun recedes and the snow loses its luster.

The three Pharians were almost unscathed, but they had to do their best to save the panicked Navi.

"Get down! Quick, get down! Get under the car!. Thorgrande then pushed Celeste's mother and daughter to the ground, and shouted loudly all around.

The attackers seemed to have shot all their arrows, and now they rushed out of the woods on either side of their horses, using axes to end the lives of the remaining people. The Otto people, who only have old and young women and children, are unable to protect themselves.

"Randil, Beta, draw your sword!" At Sogland's order, the three men came out from under the car, causing immediate casualties in the enemy group. After a short assault, the three of them retreated to one place, and the resistance was too little.

"You two find a way to get a horse and stick out, this is an order!" Thorgrande didn't even give his two men a chance to protest and rushed out again. Because the attackers have already begun to overturn the vehicles and slaughter the survivors.

"Mommy-mother-" The young girl cried out in an unclear voice to her mother, who had been struck several axes to protect her, and a murderous man was about to end the young man's life. His axe fell, but it was a lifeless freefall.

Thorgrande knelt beside the mortally wounded woman, "Ma'am, ma'am! How's it going for you. ”

The dying mother looked up with difficulty, caressed her daughter's face lovingly, smiled at Saugland, and closed her eyes peacefully. "Madame!" Sogrerd shouted, but to no avail. Although he is also sad, now is not the time to mourn. Picking up Celeste, who was still shouting "Mommy", whispered to the little girl, "Celeste, your mother is asleep, let's go find your father together to wake her up, okay?" The little girl nodded incomprehensibly.

On the other side, two Fallensias were arguing and fending off the attack.

"Randyer, get on the horse!"

"No, you get on the horse, I've already experienced a situation of enduring humiliation."

"Bastard! I don't have the luck of running five hundred francs on your own, and I want to disobey the orders of Lord Leus? ”

Ma Qi was pushed on horseback in hesitation, "If you dare to die in Nawei, I will not marry my daughter to your son." ”

"Okay, if you're a mother-in-law, you're still able to give birth."

Let's go back to Saulgrand's side, it seems that death favors the attackers on this side more. Thorgrande is holding Celeste in one hand and sword in the other. But there were too many enemies, and Sogrend knew that he was lucky to be able to take care of the child in his arms. At this moment, a rider spotted them and rushed towards Saugland with an axe.

Thorgrande felt familiar to the body of the enemy who rushed at him, but it was impossible to go up and ask Mr. me if I had seen you at some time and place.

"Celeste, hold on!" Saugland tightened his arms and threw the "Tooth Moon" in his hand into the sky. By the time he had done so, the rider's axe had already swooped in. Thorgrande dodged a forward roll. And the opponent did not have a chance to deal a second blow to him, because the "Tooth Moon" that fell from the sky pierced his body from the right back, and the corpse fell from the horse weakly.

Thorgrande quickly stepped forward and drew his sword, blood flowing down the blade and disappearing from the sword almost instantly. But now there is no leisure to praise the "tooth moon". Saulgrande put Celeste on his horse, and he himself got on horseback.

Simone, seeing that it was almost in progress, and could no longer see any non-friendly troops standing, was about to give the order to retreat, when she suddenly saw a strange riding figure rushing in her direction. "There are really good hands." She muttered to herself, and swung her saber at her.

Thorgrande had no intention of fighting, and when he saw another one rushing up from the right, he immediately set a tactic in his heart. He jerked the horse so hard that the horse felt a pang of pain, and at once burst out with all its speed. That's exactly what Sogrand wanted, and the moment the two horses met, he used all his strength to smash the opponent's weapon. Simone was completely devoid of such a fierce attack, and the powerful impact made her almost lose her center of gravity and fall off her horse. When she controlled herself, the other party had long since disappeared.

Although Sogrend was an experienced soldier, he found himself lost in this kind of winter without sunlight. In winter, the coniferous forests grow almost identical, and the snow hides the slight differences in the terrain. Thorgrande reined in his horse and looked around, but what was happening around him did not give him a clear hint.

After making sure that Celeste was asleep in his arms, Thorgrande took off his gloves and licked his index finger. The moment he stretched out his hand, he felt a knife-like pain on the side of his index finger. Thorgrande quickly put on his gloves and rode his horse towards the definite south. The north might still be able to meet the enemy, but Romedal would definitely go south, and if they found the remains of the dead, they should hasten their way south.

Sogrerd had only a day's rations and flint on his own, but only a single-layer marching blanket and no shovels to dig into the snow, and the night would be difficult. The identity of the attackers is also a question. The annual migration route of the Nawei tribes is relatively fixed, which can be determined to be the internal strife of the Nawei people, and it is the result of the intensification of contradictions between the seven major tribes. Judging by the known intelligence, it should have been the people of Mebelis. But judging from the action, the other party seems to be doing more like the action of a bandit, according to the tradition of Navi's blood revenge, there is no need for such a complicated cover-up.

The days were unusually short in winter, and after about thirty miles on horseback, Sogrend had to stop for the night. He skillfully lit a fire, and roasted the little dry food to satisfy Celeste's stomach as best he could. In order to ward off the bitter cold of the night, Thorgrande held the child tightly in his arms and snuggled up to sleep beside the horse by the fire. He kept the light sleep of the march so that the fire would not be extinguished at all times, and that he would be able to react immediately if someone was chasing him. I survived the first night like this.
