The Amber Sword

Although it extends into the civilized world as part of the dark forest, the bear forest itself is not large, especially in this mountainous forest, where the four logging sites are located, and it only takes a day or half to cross.

Brando's sawmill in the westernmost part of the country is called the Horseshoe Grass Sawmill, and the news of its collapse spreads throughout the forest in hours.

At one point, the cavemen in the mountains began to move in a silly fashion...

At the same time, of course, the news reached the elders of this tribe of cavemen. Born in one of the thirteen noble bloodlines of the Cavemen, Tajib became the natural choice of witch doctors - darker in colour than the elite warriors of the Cavemen, dressed in long feathers - feathers of vultures, a spoils of war against the dark elves of the underground world.

But at this moment, it sits on the bearskin throne without the heart to deal with these beautiful feathers. It touched a wooden stick with its elongated fingers and a feathered skull, a little irritable.

It became the leader of this clan five years ago, independent of the patriarchal clan. However, there was trouble in competing for their own territory and people had to migrate habitually. This is not unusual in the underground world, but surprisingly they have discovered one of the paths to the ground.

Although the rumored surface world is far from a land of pleasure for Tajib, it decided to take an adventure with its own people who, after briefly adapting to the life of the ground world, began to discover that the people here were not as terrible as they had imagined, and thus seized four logging sites in the forest.

But this led to the anger of the local lord, which of course was Baron Groudin. Humans and cavemen fought twice in the forest, but Tony Guerlain's disparate army and aristocratic militias were not rivals to these cavemen at all, and humans were expelled without taking advantage of anything.

In the end, Groudin even had to pull down his face and come and talk to it personally. The caveman did not need wood from the forest, but Groudin could not, and Toniguer supported Ambessel's supply of wood, in the unlikely event that something went wrong, the first person to bother him was his heavily weighted father, Count Jean de Neil.

Thus, the deficit is attributable to the deficit, but Groudin must find a way to guarantee Tonigal's basic timber exports for one year. Four logging yards near Cold Cedar City were one of the best in the whole of Tonigle, and he dared not give up easily, but there was no way to reclaim them by force - let alone let Count Denel know about them - so the only way left was by means of trading.

Though it sounds strange that a lord should have to spend money to buy the output on his territory, there are silver mines in Groudin's hands. Silver is just as important as the underground world as circulating currency. Tajib needs more money to grow his clan, so the two sides match, and this privately unknown deal remains.

Tajib greatly appreciated such a deal, although the previous battle with the human cavemen had won more than once and even forced Groudin to pull his face down, which did not obscure the scarcity of his tribe. Thousands of black iron fights sound terrible, and yet this is the entire population of its tribe--

And Tajib is smart, and through constant contact, he gradually learns the truth about the human world in which he lives. Though it may not be possible to find an army in Tonigal that could easily drive them away, it would not be good if they appeared on human soil.

You know, Baron Cold Cedars alone lives in a scattered area of nearly 70,000 people, not to mention Tonigal as a whole. Especially a heterogeneous race like them, if it were to attack human settlements, it might have triggered a wider attack.

It knows that this place belongs to a country, and the notion of a country is equated in Tajib's mind with the underground kingdom of Jorgendigan, which frightens it a little.

Therefore, even if it knew that there was a silver mine in Groudin's hands, it would not dare to occupy it easily. Anyway, this state of affairs satisfies it that, by holding these three logging sites firmly in its control, it will be able to acquire the ever-growing silver from the hands of that human lord - silver that will allow it to expand its own tribe at will until one day it can return to the earth.

In Tajib's heart, returning to the earth is also the first goal in his heart. Though eye-catching, Tony Gehr is not their caveman's land after all.

But the good doesn't seem to last long, and this day the elder of the clan finds himself in difficult trouble.

After adapting to a calm life, it has become less inclined to start wars with humans, especially when the development of tribes has just seen a positive development. Because warfare with humans is bound to attract the attention of the surrounding forces, and it doesn't really want to expose itself right now, but the more it thinks about it, the more trouble it feels like it's coming to its door —— just like a message came this afternoon telling him that humans have been killed again in the forest ——

This time humankind not only took a logging yard, but also killed at least a hundred of its tribes.

Upon hearing the news, Tajib became furious and, while ordering combatable members of the clan to assemble, became calm and began to inquire into each other's news.

The defeat ahead made this cautiously intelligent caveman witch doctor cautious and brought his heart here to hear more.

The first is an elderly caveman in a bear skin, who, of course, in the eyes of humans, has become nothing more than more rickety, more fragile and thin limbs, with white stripes all over his body.

This old caveman is called the 'Horn Claw’, of course most cavemen have no name, and this name is given to them by Tajib; the horn claw is the name of a two-legged, paralleled underground lizard beneath Jorgendioka, one of the most famous hunters in the underground world, well-behaved and effective and known for cunning.

Tajib gave the name to the old caveman in recognition of his wit and experience. But in fact, the old cavemen had defected from one rival tribe, and the cavemen did not have the notion of second-indulgence as human beings - it was common practice for underground creatures to respect the strong and to surrender from one tribe to another.

Besides, the 'horn claws' are experienced and sophisticated, so opening up among the Tajib tribes is very weighty.

“I heard that the people who retreated before described that there should be wizards in mankind," the old caveman said, "is the art of silence, which the Dark Elves often use against us when fighting underground. Unfortunately, we don't have more witch doctors on the front line, otherwise we won't have so many people dying. ”

“How many of them?” Tajib asked.

“Two or three hundred. ”

“District two or three hundred,” the chief of the Caveman said in shadow, "the human named Groudin is so tired of letting mercenaries come to our trouble, I dare not touch him?” It hates to say, "We'll take care of these dead mercenaries, then we'll take out that shitty lord, and I'm not going to be polite with him - the silver mines to the south are occupied. ”

“If you do that," replied the horn claw, "it will cause a human bounce. ”

“It's okay, they need time to move. When we rob a silver mine, we go back to the basement, and I'll see if they dare to catch up.” Tajib replied with dismay.

Several elders in the house exchanged views with each other on their own unique sonic waves. “So what are the human mercenaries going to do?” Another caveman asked.

“I ran off myself," Tajib replied, “District magic is all. ”

It stood up and said, "Tonight, I want those humans to pay the price of bleeding for our people!” Tajib's sharp voice echoed in the house, while several caveman elders bowed their heads and had no objection.

In their view, those humans are indeed somewhat uninformed.

Because, unlike the news of Tajib's deliberate release, there are in fact more than 3,000 cavemen living in the Bear Forest at this moment, and in the face of this enormous force, it is not enough to see Tonigal's entire army gathered together. Of course, maybe Tonigal has Count Denel behind him, and Elouin.

But Tajib knew very well that Groudin could not have brought in the outside army in such a short period of time without leaking any information.

Now there are only mercenaries in Cold Cedar City who have gathered before. This is no different from what they had previously heard, and it appears that Groudin did inspire mercenaries to fight them.

But if that guy thinks it's going to shake their roots here, he's going to pay for it.

But what Tajib could never guess was that Groudin had already paid the price. It's not just for them, the cavemen, but the enemies who stand before them at this moment are as familiar with their own Brando as they are with them.

This battle has changed direction since its inception.

……

Fighting in the Horseshoe Grass Lumberyard ended long ago, and the nesting cavemen left behind in the camp nothing but old and infirm, unable to resist.

Even so, the mercenaries paid the worst price since the battle for the last lumberyard. More than 30 people were injured and 10 died.

Utah, Vern and Kroncia were relieved after finalizing the win. They are people who are used to living and dying separately, and this casualty is actually somewhat unexpected. No, it's more of a miracle that if it weren't for Brando's familiarity with these underground residents, they wouldn't have said that it would have been a luxury to pay only a small price, even to win.

Though this battle with the cavemen wasn't what they expected...

So the mindset of the three heads of the regiment is somewhat complicated at this moment, and it can be said that they did not fight so voluntarily for that young lord. Baron Cold Fir was supposed to have nothing to do with them, but tied them together for an unknown reason.

Utah, Vern and Kroncia couldn't bear to look at each other, but in their eyes, besides laughing bitterly, they only laughed bitterly.
