"It sounds easy to say it, but it is actually very difficult to do it. Just choosing a new place for development requires too much consideration."
After walking around outside, I felt that I had a certain understanding of the development of the tribe, and the two of them had not stopped thinking about this aspect all the way. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Allen was full of regrets about giving up the treasure land of Green Lake.
There is certainly no shortage of rain in the wilderness. There are basically two heavy rains every month. As long as it is collected a little, the average tribe or family can meet their daily needs. However, real water sources bring not only drinking water, but also rich food sources. Wild beasts who come to fetch water, fish growing in water sources, etc. are the foundation for the growth and development of wilderness groups.
"And as you said, there are still traces of the life of the tribe in our compromised village, and I still want to bring them back to live together."
"Then you can bypass the kobold tribe's territory in front and return to your tribe's stronghold?"
Jack said something shocking. Allen was stunned for a moment and couldn't find the words to refute.
Yes, there are very few people in this wilderness. In fact, there is really no need to pass through the territory of the kobolds. Why hasn't my mind turned around? Oh, it turns out that the influence of the previous human caravan on Allen made him forget that there was another way to go.
"When we followed the human caravan to Castle of Thorns before, their map marked several dangerous and powerful tribes, which are located around our territory!"
Allen took out the map copied from the Flash Silver Caravan and spread it on the ground to examine it carefully. At the same time, he did not forget to explain the markings on it to Jack who came closer to watch.
"This is a tribe of jackals. According to the signs on the map, the opponent's population exceeds a hundred people; this is..."
Jack frowned as he stared at the map, feeling that it was completely different from the information he had obtained from previous investigations. As a thief dedicated to saving lives, Jack's footwork was far more outstanding than that of the kobold Night.Bonebreaker, and the price was the loss of his life. Close combat effectiveness. In just over half a day of investigation, Jack used his outstanding footwork to cover dozens of miles around him, but found no sign of a large tribe.
"Your map seems inaccurate. According to you, the river Rapids Bay should not have appeared originally, but should be more than a hundred miles away to the east."
It was not that Jack had never been exposed to maps. He was determined to be a guide and broker as a career. He spent a lot of effort to learn these necessary skills, and it didn't take long for him to discover a big loophole in the map.
"Really? But the human caravan followed this map and walked from their continent. It shouldn't be bad!"
Allen was a little unconvinced, but the facts prevented him from refuting it. He only knew a little about how to check the map, but their Green Lake and Rapids Bay did not appear on this map. He was also a little curious, but Fili did not deceive Ai. Lun, the explanation given to him was that they acquired this map from someone else. It is said that it has a long history, and some errors are normal.
"I think this map is not accurate at all. In other words, the geographical coordinates and ethnic groups seen by the people who made this map have already changed over time. Anyway, I walked around before. , except for the signs left by you bugbears and kobolds, there are very few signs of other groups around."
Jack didn't insist, but repeatedly emphasized the results of his investigation.
When Allen heard this, he frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Jack.
"Jack, I want to hire you one more time to help me find a safe way around the kobold tribe's territory."
At this time, Allen regretted giving the reward to Jack too early, and said to Jack with a bit of anxiety.
"That's no problem, but I need some time. Judging from today's situation, you may have to camp here. I'll just take advantage of the night to help you get out."
Jack nodded and agreed without hesitation. Naturally, there was the inducement of money, confidence in finding a way to save his life, and a feeling of empathy for his fellow humans that he would not admit, coming from his bloodline.
"Don't worry Jack, as long as you can help us find a safe way home, all the gold coins in this wallet will be yours."
Allen didn't count the money in his wallet, he just waved it in the air with his hand. The sound of gold and silver coins clanging against each other made Jack's eyes gleam.
"Just wait for my good news!"
Jack patted his chest confidently, and then didn't stop any longer. Taking advantage of the time when the sun was still hanging on the western horizon, he ran towards the direction he came from without looking back.
Allen's eyes never left the retreating figure of Jack until his figure disappeared, and then he looked back dejectedly. After taking a deep breath, Allen raised his head again with a bright smile on his face. He patted the shoulder of the flower snake next to him and said something heroic, which made everyone feel much better.
"Let's set up the camp first, and let the humans get the bucket of honey out of the car at night, and make a candied barbecue to reward everyone for their hard work along the way."
"Wow!!"
"Great!!"
With delicious food as bait, most of everyone's depression disappeared. With simple minds, they quickly put behind the bad news that Jack had brought before, and concentrated on working and waiting for the dinner in the evening. . Seeing everyone so careless, Allen felt a little funny in his heart. It seemed that he had too high expectations for this group of people. They may be a little sad, but life in the wilderness is never permanent, and there is not much for one person. The goblin tradition of belonging and the sad feeling are enough for bugbears to exist for a little while.
In the evening, a meal of candied barbecue made by human slaves immediately put a smile on the faces of the entire temporary camp.
Only Philip, a well-informed slave, could not taste any taste in his mouth while eating sweet roasted meat. He was full of ominous premonitions about his future life. When Allen communicated with Jack, Phillip, who was Allen's follower, was not dismissed by Allen, so Phillip was also aware of the news that Allen's tribe's lair had been breached.
Following Allen all the way, Philip's view of Allen, the leader of bugbears, had changed. At least his intelligence was not like that of a wilderness native. He did not have the cruelty and murderous cannibalism described in the book. Instead, he showed more of his intelligence to Philip. He is a curious child who is thirsty for knowledge and has countless questions. It is precisely because of this understanding that from the initial resistance, he now has a little hope for his future life, which has shaken his desire to escape.
But now it seems that this group of bugbears can't protect themselves, so it seems that they should make plans early and prepare for the next escape mount.
Nibbling on the sweet food he hadn't enjoyed in a long time, Philip's eyes rolled, drifting towards the human slaves in the crowd from time to time, and he had other plans in mind.
