Chapter 16

After another two days, the fledglings had grown very quickly, they were now excitedly waiting for food.

At the same time, the hunting party that had been sent out had returned. This time, they brought back 7-8 crows.

Comoros stood under the tree, looking at the tied crows with a cold gaze. He pointed at one of the crows with a broken wing and coldly spoke: "Although these crows have yet to belong to my master, that is no reason for you to injure them"

"Who hurt him? Come out!" Comoros glanced at the new members of the hunting party: "That is, if you don't want to anger the great Negri"

One of them looked left and right before finally stepping forward while trembling. Comoros was very familiar with this person, he was his childhood playmate, but the only thing that could be seen in his eyes right now was fear.

Looking at the terrified expression of his former playmate, Comoros decided to harden his heart. The so-called injury of the crows was only an excuse, and the reason for this was because Negri had given Comoros the order to sacrifice them.

During this period of time, Wang Yuan had only been absorbing the White Mist provided by the [Black Crow] germs, so the amount of White Mist he had was already running low, so he needed to sacrifice someone. This mission was conveyed to Comoros by Wang Yuan through the [Domination] germs.

It wasn't impossible to rashly suggest that a villager be sacrificed, but it might cause the villagers to retaliate, so an excuse was needed to sacrifice someone who had done something wrong.

And now, this childhood playmate of his was the one who ran into the spear. Comoros didn't dare to disobey Negri's order, so he could only apologize to this person.

Comoros squinted his eyes and was about to say something when he saw a member of the village guard riding a horse towards him.

"Sir Comoros, we've found traces of a Kent tribe" the guard hurriedly got off his horse and reported to Comoros in a low voice.

"A Kent tribe, huh?" Comoros recalled some not-so-good memories, then turned to look at his childhood playmate and continued: "Originally, you should have paid the price with your life for your sins"

"However, I'll give you a chance now. A life for a life. Join the guards, capture a Kent tribesman and use his life to atone for your crimes!" Comoros finally relented and let his childhood friend go.

Wang Yuan didn't care about what Comoros was thinking, instead, he was thinking about the Kent people's information.

The Kent tribe were known as natural-born bandits, the instinct to plunder and plunder had been engraved into their blood. This description wasn't racial discrimination, but rather the Kent tribe's identity as bandits made it so that even if they were educated and changed, it would be impossible for them to succeed.

Once upon a time, in the nearby Kingdom of Royas, there was a kind noble scholar who believed that the Kent people were all bandits because they had been exposed to bandits since they were young and learned how to rob, so they could only become bandits when they grew up.

If a Kent was brought up in a normal family, he would definitely become a normal person.

And so, during one of his expeditions, he stopped a group of adventurers from killing a newborn baby girl who was part of a Kent bandit group. He declared that the baby was innocent, and while the adventurers looked at him with a mocking expression on their faces, he adopted the baby girl.

The noble scholar didn't tell the baby girl that she was a Kent tribesman, so from a young age, she had an etiquette teacher teach her the etiquette of a lady, at the same time regulating her behavior and treated her like his own daughter.

At the age of 15, she almost inherited the noble scholar's title. If it weren't for the fact that she was accused of poisoning the noble scholar at the age of 12, and the evidence was conclusive, she would have been called a Countess by now, and not the Great Bandit Ika Alisa.

At the age of 12, when Ika had yet to come into contact with any evil knowledge, she accidentally learned about a type of slow-acting poison and poisoned the noble scholar who adopted her without any grudge against him.

This was the nature of the Kent tribesmen, they didn't think that plundering other people was a shameful act, in fact, they were very happy to do so. Sometimes, they would even plunder when there was no need for it, just to enjoy it.

Of course, while the Kent tribesmen liked to plunder, they weren't idiots. They wouldn't attack forces that were too powerful, nor would they kill all the victims of the plunder. Otherwise, if the victims of the plunder didn't exist, the Kent tribesmen who didn't like to work would have already died.

These Cauchy villages fell into the category of being plundered. Every year, there would be bandits led by the Kent tribesmen who would raid the villages, and every time, the villages would have to do everything they could to stop the bandits.

If the villages were completely defenseless and were completely taken over by the bandits, then the bandits would be able to do whatever they wanted. The worst time was when the bandits broke into the village and set it on fire, burning quite a few houses to the ground. If the Kent tribesmen hadn't spared the remaining people for the sake of sustainable development, this village would have already been destroyed. That year, quite a few Cauchy tribesmen either starved or froze to death.

Of course, there was also a relatively peaceful year where both sides flexed their muscles. When the bandits realized that this bone was too hard to chew, they would force the village to hand over a certain amount of food and leave.

But this time, this village was completely different. They were now under Wang Yuan's control, so how could Wang Yuan allow his things to be controlled by others again?

Because of that, from the very beginning, Wang Yuan knew that the Kent tribe's final decision was to wipe them all out. After all, these Cauchy people were under Wang Yuan's control and needed to be a sustainable resource, so Wang Yuan couldn't be too cruel to these people.

But Wang Yuan didn't care too much about the Kent tribesmen. Most of the germs bred in this environment weren't particularly infectious, so he wondered if the Kent tribesmen's bloodline with the instinct to plunder would be able to breed germs that were highly infectious?

Wang Yuan was very much looking forward to that. But before that, he still needed a certain amount of military force. After all, this village didn't have a lot of military force to begin with, they were mainly divided into the hunting squad and the hunting squad.

The hunting squad was almost completely wiped out by Wang Yuan, leaving only the newbie Comoros. And the hunting squad's leader, Jacob, was also killed, a part of the hunting squad was split up into new hunting squads to search for crows, so the village's fighting force was at an all-time low.

If they didn't have faith in Negri, quite a few villagers would have already run away.
