"Damn, what are these?" Seeing a head displayed in their pocket, several Panshi Family soldiers guarding the door couldn't help but exclaimed and took two steps back.

Although Panshi XVI was not as rude as his subordinates, he also frowned with an expression of disgust on his face.

I saw that the head in the pocket barely looked human, except that various tumor-like flesh balls covered the entire head, and each head ball seemed to have a small eye inside.

Everyone who sees it will feel a strong sense of disgust in their hearts and want to crush this thing completely.

"Sir, these are the prey we captured." The leader of the Horned Tribe showed a look of contempt in his eyes, and then immediately returned to normal and continued.

Just as Ferut's tribal family despises those tribes who still follow the primitive life of the North as a group of barbarians, the northern tribes who follow the ancient customs of the North also believe that Ferut's tribal family are a group of castrated guys.

, although neither party showed this contemptuous attitude openly, but both parties knew what the other was thinking.

Although the people of the Longhorn tribe concealed their contempt quickly, Panshi XVI could easily see it because he was good at observing people's words. He felt a little annoyed about this, but he didn't say much because of this kind of thing.

Can't tell.

"What are these?" Panshi XVI asked in a businesslike manner.

The people from the Longhorn tribe also replied seriously: "These are the mutated monsters mentioned in the bounty orders issued by the empire."

"Are these mutant monsters?" Panshi XVI was stunned when he heard this, and motioned to the people of the Horned Tribe to open the bag again. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and took a look at the head inside.

The reward order issued by the empire not long ago caused quite a stir in Ferut City. Although he was not interested in this matter, he had heard some relevant information from family members.

The reason why there is such a sensation is because the amount of money marked on the bounty order is very large. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as ten mutant monsters mentioned in the bounty order are hunted, a small family like the Panshi Family can be killed in Ferut City.

It has been a comfortable year.

Thinking of this, Panshi XVI couldn't help but look at the other bags. After estimating the number of these bags in his mind, he looked at these long-horned tribes with a hint of envy and jealousy. It is no exaggeration to say that this time the long-horned tribes

The bounties obtained will definitely make them the tribe with the most cash in Ferut.

Under other circumstances, King Panshi XVI would not mind taking a little oil and water from the heads of these monsters with a bounty on them, but now these monster heads are prey hunted by the people of the Longhorn Tribe during their winter patrol. If he still dares to tamper with them,

If so, the person he offended was not just the Horned Tribe. Those tribes in the entire Northern Tribe who still followed ancient rituals and went on a Winter Tour would regard the Panshi Family who disrupted the Winter Tour as their enemies.

By then, let alone the count of the French Empire, even if he was the prince of the French Empire, he would not be able to escape the fate of being hunted by these tribes.

After understanding the gains and losses involved, Panshi XVI restrained his greed, waved his hand to his subordinates, and said, "Let it go."

Some of the gatekeepers nearby also realized the value of these heads, and they couldn't help but have some greed in their hearts. So when they heard the order from Panshi XVI, they showed puzzled looks and looked at their clan leader.

, some wondered why the clan leader let go of such a big fish with huge oil and water.

"What's wrong? Doesn't my order work well?" After discovering that his subordinates did not follow his orders, Panshi XVI couldn't help but glared at these tribesmen angrily and said with a sullen face.

Only then did everyone come to their senses and moved out of the way, signaling the Horned Tribe's convoy to leave.

Seeing the soldiers of the Panshi Family move out of the way, the people of the Longhorn Tribe breathed a sigh of relief, removed their hands from their weapons, and then drove the carriage into the city of Ferut.

Watching the people from the Longhorn Tribe leave, Panshi XVI waved his hand to a subordinate next to him, motioning for him to come over, and then whispered a few words into the other person's ear.

The warrior who heard the whisper immediately took great strides and ran towards the city, and soon disappeared into an alley.

Although he couldn't eat alone just now, he had a way to get a share of the harvest from the Longhorn Tribe, and he didn't have to take any risks. Thinking of this, he smiled proudly, turned around and took a small step towards the top of the Wind Observation Tower.

Walk into the warm little room.

In the next few days, the Longhorn Tribe’s Winter Tour became the hottest topic in Ferut City. The reason why it became a topic was not because the Longhorn Tribe’s Winter Tour was so unique. The prey they hunted were

How dangerous it is, but because of the huge benefits that the Horned Tribe gained from this winter tour, people are shocked and even more jealous.

Many tribes that were originally not interested in the bounty orders began to pay attention to the bounty orders hanging on the city council's bulletin board, thinking about what they would do after this winter passed, and more tribes paid attention to it.

The Longhorn Tribe is not a very powerful merchant tribe.

Nowadays, the elders in the Longhorn Tribe also have mixed feelings. What is good is that their unexpected winter tour can be said to be extremely successful. The harvest is far beyond their expectations. But it is precisely because it is beyond their expectations.

The anticipation caused them to fail to prepare in advance, resulting in the current predicament that they were coveted by countless tribes.

The Longhorn Tribe was one of the first tribes to arrive in Ferut for the winter, so they were also the first tribe to see the bounty order. Unlike other tribes who were dismissive of the bounty order, they actually saw this as an opportunity.

Because as a trading tribe, they know very well where all the places suitable for human settlement are in the west of the North. At the same time, they have also been in contact with some scholars and adventurers from the Hannossa Alliance who came to the North to investigate, and they know what is happening in the south.

They knew that a large number of mutants in the Hannossa Alliance were fleeing to the North, hoping to establish some settlements and shelters in the North. They even had contact with one of the mutant teams and did business.

It is precisely because of these advantages that they feel that the money on these bounty orders is almost in their pockets, and more importantly, they have learned from the tribal council that hunting these mutants is also included in the prey types of the Winter Tour.

Therefore, when they sent out people to participate in the tour, they were very sure that the tour would be successful, but the success was far beyond their expectations.

If they had known in advance that so many prey could be harvested during this cold winter tour, they would never have allowed the leader of the tribe to bring so many prey into the city at the same time. If they had dispersed the prey to all the tribesmen, and then let the tribesmen enter in batches.

city, then their impact in the city will be much smaller, and there will be no worries like now.

However, although the trouble they have caused is not small now, they do not feel panic because they have already found a way out. They only need to pay part of the harvest to join a big tribe in the city and become a vassal tribe of this big tribe.

Naturally, these troubles were solved for them by this large tribe.

For other merchant tribes, they are extremely reluctant to become vassal tribes of other tribes, but for weak merchant tribes like the Longhorn Tribe, becoming a vassal tribe of a large tribe can definitely help them better serve in the Northland.

To survive in a cruel environment, the only problem is whether the tribe you join is strong enough and whether its reputation is good enough.

In the past, many merchant tribes became vassals of some large tribes with poor reputation, and were eventually annexed by the large tribes. The Longhorn Tribe did not want to become such a tribe, so they have been looking for large tribes to rely on.

And the large tribe that contacted them this time happened to be one of the most suitable large tribes on their list to rely on.

And now what they have to consider is how much bounty they should pay. This amount cannot be too much. If it is too much, the tribe will not agree. At the same time, the big tribe will think that they have strong payment ability.

Jin City will use this number as a benchmark, and this number cannot be too small. If it is too small, most of them will regard it as an insult and completely cut off this vassal road. In that case, their situation may be even worse.

Just when the Horned Tribe was wondering how much money they should pay as vassals, Leo and his sleds had already arrived outside the city wall of Ferut following the north wind coming from the south.

"Is this Ferut?" Mist and Randall, who were here for the first time, asked in surprise as they got off the sleigh and looked at the towering city wall in front of them.

Although before coming here, they already knew that Ferut was an important town established by the French Empire in the North, an important hub city connecting the north and the south, and the largest and only city in the North, but they still believed that even if

Ferut is very big, but it is only equivalent to an average small town.

And now they saw the towering city wall in front of them, which immediately reminded them of those ancient big cities in the south. Before entering the steam industry, those big cities also had walls like Yi Kao to protect themselves, and those city walls were much taller than what they saw now.

The city wall we arrived was much shorter, and this kind of city wall may only be seen in large military cities like Yantie City.

After Leo disassembled the sled, he put it away, then looked in the direction of the city gate in the distance and said, "Should we climb over the wall, or..."

"Why do we have to climb over the wall? We are not thieves?" Sylvia shook her head and said: "If you enter the city from the south, they may conduct a strict search, but they will not be so careful when entering the city from the north, and we

He is just a scholar who came to the North to investigate, and he is not a dangerous person."

After saying that, she walked towards the city gate, and the others followed.

The group of people arrived at the city gate. The soldier guarding the gate had the same reaction as Sylvia expected. Although he was curious about these southerners, he did not show too many questions. After asking a few questions casually, he asked them

Released.

As the French Empire relaxed its control over travel to the Northland, more and more southerners have come to the Northland, and Ferut, as the north-south hub, is naturally the only place for southerners to enter the Northland, so

After seeing too many southerners, these gatekeepers no longer acted as curious as before.

The only thing they were confused about was that after entering winter, there were still southerners staying in the northern ice fields. You must know that those southerners, let alone those in the northern ice fields, couldn't stand it even in a city like Ferut.

When the first cold wave appeared, they left the Northland one after another, and Leo and his group were the only group of southerners that these gatekeepers would see for a month.

Under the slightly curious gaze of the gatekeeper, the group of people walked to the square near the city gate. They randomly found a Northlander waiting in the square as a guide and asked him to lead them to Ferut.

A hotel built by visitors from the south, and then asked about the situation in the city on the way.

Perhaps he thought that Leo and the others from the south had no conflicts of interest with the North, so the Northlander who served as a guide had no worries and told all the big and small things that had happened in the city recently, but he did not

Didn't notice that when he mentioned the mutants hunted by the horned tribe, the expressions on the faces of the man and woman beside him became extremely ugly.

At this moment, Mist and Randall felt extremely guilty because they now knew that not only the settlement they were in was massacred by the Longhorn tribe, but people in other settlements were also killed by the Longhorn tribe.

massacre.

And what makes them blame themselves even more is that they were probably the ones who led the Longhorn tribe to the settlement, because on the way to escape, they encountered the Longhorn tribe's trading team and bought some winter supplies from the trading team.

, and they also mentioned the settlement matter when communicating with the Longhorn Tribe.

Although they blamed themselves extremely, they still endured the pain in their hearts and tried to appear calm. It was not until they arrived at the hotel, booked a room, and entered the room that they burst into tears uncontrollably.

Seeing the couple's gaffe, Leo and the others didn't say anything, nor did they feel any sympathy. If it weren't for Mister and Randall, two people who had an unusual relationship with Sylvia, they would have felt in their hearts when they heard the news.

There won't be any fluctuations, and now they are intervening in this matter more because of the way.

After waiting for the emotional fluctuations of the two people to calm down, Leo looked at the two people and said: "Tomorrow I will go to inquire about the news and check the location and situation of the Longhorn tribe's settlement. We will take action tomorrow night.

It just so happens that the Longhorn Tribe is being targeted by many northern tribes because of the bounty. If something happens, people will only suspect other northern tribes, and no one will suspect us."

"Have you decided?" Sylvia suddenly asked the two of them again.
