"Why are there children here?" After hearing these words, many people ran over.
Lin Haoming soon saw the people in front of him. From the clothes they wore, he could tell that they were tribesmen who believed in the Forest King. The first person to speak was a boy who was several years older than him, and the forest rat was in his arms at the moment.
, obviously trained by him.
"Who are you? Where do you come from?" Next to the boy, a thick-looking woman asked.
"My name is Lin Haoming, I...I..." Lin Haoming deliberately pretended to be scared and did not dare to continue.
"Kid, don't be afraid. My mother won't hurt you if you tell me." The young man seemed to sympathize with the lonely child and took the initiative to comfort him.
"Put him down." The strong woman shouted now.
Soon Lin Haoming felt that the vines that were entangled in him were being retracted, and the person who took action was a middle-aged man who looked a little thin. The middle-aged man was standing behind the strong woman.
"Okay, why did you come here alone?" the young man asked curiously.
"I...I killed someone." Lin Haoming stammered.
"Who did you kill?"
"The church priest, he always bullied my mother, and finally my mother was tortured to death by him. I...I hated those church guys, so I killed him while he was drunk, and then...then escaped,
I know you are not afraid of the church." Lin Haoming deliberately stuttered and made up a story.
"How old are you?" The strong woman came up and asked.
"Eight years old!" Lin Haoming deliberately pretended to be scared.
"We are not afraid of the church, but you are not one of ours. Of course you are still a child. If you are willing to believe in the Forest King, I can accept you." The strong woman looked at the expectant eyes of the young man beside her and relaxed.
"I do." Lin Haoming shouted immediately.
"Bark, take him." Seeing Lin Haoming agree, the strong woman suddenly called out to a strong man behind her.
"Yes!" The strong man came over, grabbed Lin Haoming, carried him directly on his back, and then ordered: "Be honest."
Lin Haoming nodded subconsciously, but he was very surprised that these people didn't search him. Maybe he was just a child and they really didn't care that much.
This place is very close to the Red Sun Kingdom. Judging from their appearance, hundreds of people have arrived here. It seems that they are not wandering out in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, the group crossed the river soon, and Lin Haoming knew that they should have come to rob.
Although there are no major wars on the border, it is common to cross the border to rob supplies or massacre some discovered tribes. Some may even trigger minor conflicts, but there are indeed no major wars.
As the Marquis of Zhenbei, my old father was stationed in Luoye Province. Luoye Province was a very large place. However, after I escaped, I kept walking westward for a few days. My speed was not slow. This place was probably close to the westernmost part of Luoye Province.
Bordering the Deciduous Province is the Blackwood Province, which is named because many of the trees here have black bark.
After crossing a river that was shallower than the one he crossed originally, after walking for a while, the trees became sparse. Even as he walked, he could see a little fire in the distance. At this time, the bark of the tree covered Lin Haoming's mouth.
He warned: "Child, don't make any noise for a while. If you don't obey, I will break your neck."
"Don't threaten him like this. Don't be afraid. It'll be fine." The young man said with a smile.
Lin Haoming nodded and continued walking forward, and soon reached the edge of the woods.
Outside the woods is a large open space. The open space clearly has traces of being cut down. This is the protective belt that should be reserved to prevent forest tribes from attacking. Moreover, Lin Haoming has confirmed that the fire just now was actually on this protective belt.
With the light of the bright whistle, there must be a hidden whistle in the dark. This is generally the case wherever there are people living.
But what surprised Lin Haoming was that not long after, he saw a person running towards this side. Not long after, he arrived at the place where everyone was ambushing, and then shouted in a low voice: "Is the patriarch here?"
"Father didn't come, I will lead the team this time." The strong woman stood up at this time and came to the person who ran over in the dark night.
"It's you, Senna. You can rest assured that you are here. The sentry is my own. I have already solved the hidden sentry just now. The problem now is that two high-ranking priests from the church came to the manor today. I'm afraid it will not be good.
Deal with it," the man reminded.
"It's just two high-ranking priests, it's nothing. Just leave it to me when the time comes." Senna said nonchalantly.
"Old Gopher, don't you know, Senna's profound strength has increased a lot, and now ten of me may not be her opponent." The thin man who had been following the strong woman Senna spoke.
"What are you interrupting, old tree vine? I'm disturbing you by telling you what I've discovered." The man immediately retorted.
"Okay, stop talking. Since it has been solved, act quickly." Senna ordered.
"Hey, why is Shupi still carrying a child? He's too young and hasn't reached his coming-of-age ceremony yet." Suddenly, the old gopher spotted Lin Haoming and asked strangely.
"I found this on the road. He claimed that his family was persecuted by the church and he killed a priest and fled to the forest. A child was alone in the forest. I think it is impossible to lie. Moreover, Heiyan hopes to keep him. Today it is him
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, I don’t want to disappoint him,” Senna said.
"Little guy, your mother took responsibility for you, and you have to repay her well." The old gopher specifically reminded her.
"I will." The young man puffed up his chest and said.
"Okay, stop talking and let's go!" Sena ordered again, and soon everyone crossed the open area.
At this time, Lin Haoming also realized that the people in these tribes were not fools, and there were people who were prepared for any action, just like there were people here who deliberately pretended to be people in the forest for investigation.
From what they said, they were going to attack a manor this time. There were not too many manors on the border, but once there was a general force, it was not small. Of course, the tribe's dispatch of hundreds of people at once was indeed a very strong force.
Already.
As hundreds of people moved forward quickly, and after walking for seven or eight miles, Lin Haoming saw the fields that had been harvested around him, and followed the old gopher into a fruit forest that had also been harvested. However, it was difficult to get caught walking in the fruit forest.
People discovered that when they walked out of the orchard, there was indeed a manor in front of them, and it was a manor that looked like a walled city.
At this time, everyone was ready, and the old gopher staggered out of the orchard alone, looking very leisurely.
Lin Haoming watched the old gopher arrive at the door of the manor, then seemed to shout twice, and then walked in from the small door in a swagger. Then he heard several noises, and then the door was pushed open.
