Chapter 43: The Tooth of the Golden-backed Giant Wolf
Brayman advised William not to risk his own life and fight in battle, but William disagreed with him.
"I am not only a lord, but also a knight!"
Sheath your sword and ride your horse forward.
Under Scott's brave charge, the Scorpion Bandits had completely lost their fighting spirit and surrounded Cooper with faces full of despair.
They tried to surrender, but William refused to accept it, and the soldiers continued to strangle them layer by layer.
Facing such bandits who are accustomed to plundering, any mercy is superfluous.
Ten minutes later, Scott captured Cooper alive and escorted him to William's horse. "Lord, he said he knew an important piece of information."
Cooper plopped down on the ground and said urgently:
"Dear Lord, I am valuable. I know a piece of news that is very useful to you and concerns the entire Barron Territory."
"I beg for this message in exchange for my life."
This vicious bald scorpion was kneeling on the ground with his butt sticking out.
The venomous scorpion tattoo on his head has lost its intimidating effect and instead looks like a small insect.
"Tell me about it." William said calmly.
"Will you let me go?"
"It depends on whether your news satisfies me."
"You will be satisfied, you will be satisfied." Cooper rummaged through his pockets in a hurry, and finally took out a wolf tooth pendant from his neck, held it in both hands and presented it to William: "Please take a look at this..."
"Dear Lord, you must not know who gave this to me...it's Ivy, Ivy Iftien!"
Ivy…
Listening to this name, William felt a little familiar.
"Sir, he should be talking about Kelly Ford's son." Brayman explained in a low voice.
William remembered that Guland had previously reported that one of Calif's sons had escaped, and he had also fled south.
Why are you getting involved with bandits again?
Without William's questioning, Cooper explained everything clearly, including the terms of Ivey's exchange.
However, in his words, Cooper became a "forced person", while Ivey played a vicious role.
"I was living a good life in Poisonous Scorpion Village, but Avi forced me to plunder the village, and also used aliens to suppress me, saying that if I didn't do what he wanted, he would let the aliens attack me.
Noble Lord, I am innocent and a good citizen!"
No matter how Cooper complained in tears, William's expression remained indifferent.
Scott kicked Cooper to tell him to be honest.
Cooper continued:
"The wolf tooth pendant in your hand has a great origin. It is made from the teeth of a golden-backed giant wolf. It is very precious among the alien races and can help them tame the wolf.
You can look at the wolf teeth facing the sun and see if there are gold-like threads inside the teeth...
A long time ago, the foreign tribes had a rule that they would not plunder as long as they could offer precious treasures."
From Cooper's words, everyone knew that there was another reason.
Whether it's William, Just, or Scott...
Either they are from the royal capital and know little about foreign races; or they are simply strangers, not to mention foreign races, and they don’t even know much about the Kingdom of Sedes. However, some local soldiers have heard of this news.
"Will aliens abide by their agreement?"
Looking at the wolf fang, William didn't believe it.
How could the notorious alien race abide by this rule? Don't you think - if I kill you, everything about you will be mine?
"No one believed it before, but after trying it, I found that it is indeed the case."
Cooper forced a flattering smile and explained:
"The tooth of this golden-backed wolf king is definitely a treasure. As long as it is given to a foreign tribe, it will be enough to protect a village."
"A copycat...if I exchange it, can it prevent foreign races from invading the Barren Territory?"
"This, this..." Cooper sweated coldly, "I'm afraid this won't work."
"In that case, what's the point of keeping you?"
William raised his eyebrows, and Scott raised the iron sword. Cooper was suddenly startled, and just as he was about to beg for mercy, the iron sword was already at his side!
Poof~!
It was cut in two without any involvement, and at the same time it was accompanied by a rush of blood.
On the dirt floor, a human head like a basketball was rolling down, and the expression on his face was frozen in the last moment.
William put away his wolf fangs and snorted softly.
A bandit actually wanted to negotiate terms with the lord. Even if Wolf Fang could protect the Barron Territory, William would not keep Cooper.
From the soldiers' mouths, he already knew Cooper's origins and his notoriety.
Killing him with a knife will give him an advantage.
"Clean up the battlefield and return to the royal capital."
"yes!"
When they came, they rode hard;
Now on the way back, there is no need to be in such a hurry and we should keep a pace that is neither too fast nor too slow.
At this time, Scott rode up to William's side, with a trace of worry on his weathered and determined face:
"Sir, Ivy Iftien is the son of Kelly Ford. He must know the Barren Territory very well. He even knows this long-abandoned horse trail, and he must also know more about it. Now he is talking to the alien race
By colluding together, wouldn’t we, the Baron collar, turn into a young lady who takes off her clothes and faces a group of big men naked?”
"Pfft!"
Hearing laughter, Scott looked back, and Brayman immediately put away his smile and blinked apologetically.
William also couldn't help laughing.
Scott, who has always been calm and honest, was so easy to understand when he used metaphors.
"Scott, your statement is very vivid."
After laughing twice, William said softly:
"We do look like young ladies without clothes now, but that doesn't mean we won't wear clothes in the future."
"Not only do you need to wear it, but you also need to wear three layers of clothes, then put on armor, and then carry a shield and a spear."
"If anyone dares to have bad intentions, give him a heart-wrenching blow!"
Hearing William's powerful words, Scott was in awe.
Although I don't understand what it means.
But, it must be very powerful.
You are worthy of being a kind, wise, brave and decisive lord who shines like the sun!
After the army marched for several hours, night fell and Scott and his men set up camp. They had to spend the day in the wild.
The terrain here is undulating, the trees are sparse, and the weeds on the soil seem to be lacking in nutrients.
William pulled up a weed and found that although it did not have a few blades of grass, it had very dense roots.
Shake it gently and the roots will swing like a shuttlecock.
Seeing this scene, William couldn't be happy.
Generally speaking, the more lush the roots, the poorer the land, so it needs more roots to absorb nutrients.
"The closer we get to the Howling Wolf Grassland, the barren the land becomes, as if the nutrients have been sucked out of the middle of it."
If the land in Blue Star is so barren, it is probably because it is close to deserts, plateaus and the like.
But the balun collar is different.
Because the Howling Wolf Grassland is not a desert, it is a plateau. Although it is quite barren near the Barron Territory, but further forward, the interior of the Howling Wolf Grassland is actually very rich.
"No wonder the people in the royal capital are indifferent to the Baron Territory. This kind of land resource is really worthless."
