If Cerna dared to say this, she must be confident. After all, her territory wasn't far from here. It was just that these small tribes were migrating all year round, so they didn't know much about the situation. But when it came to the other group of people here, she understood them very well.
The Hearthmen.
In other words, they were groups formed by ordinary people. Among them, there were no Ice People, no Battle Mother, and most of the leaders were men. After all, in terms of ordinary people, men's stamina and endurance were above women. Therefore, in this place, it wasn't too hard to accept that the leader of the Hearthmen was a man. In fact, there were many Earth Lords who led ordinary people in the tribes with Battle Mothers, but they were also ordinary men who didn't have the Ice Bloodline. And these people were usually the Blood Alliance of the Battle Mothers. They were usually the most trusted members of the Blood Alliance apart from the Ice People.
In other words, if Li Ke agreed to become the Blood Alliance of the Sejuani Clan, he would most likely become the Earth Lord of the Cold Winter Claw Clan and be in charge of leading the ordinary warriors to battle under Sejuani's command. After all, Sejuani was a person who abided by the Alliance and ancient rules. According to their traditions, Sejuani could only lead the Ice People into battle. The remaining ordinary warriors would be led by the Earth Lords or other people in battle.
And what was more interesting was that the leaders of the larger Hearthmen also liked to be called Earth Lords.
But what was the status of the Hearthmen in Freldrod?
Slaves.
Even though they were the most in number, in the cruel environment of the Ice People, they had to sacrifice more in order to survive. Especially for the Hearthmen who didn't have the protection of the Ice People, their peaceful lives were easily torn apart by all kinds of bandits and beasts. It was common for them to sacrifice their limited rations in exchange for the protection of the larger tribes or for them to let them go. It was also an old 'rule' in this ancient land.
"If what they say is true, and all the nearby tribes don't have enough food, then those furnace owners won't be spared either. They will definitely be plundered by other tribes, and most likely by their own protectors. Then, they will be burned to the ground, and no one will know that they have slaughtered their allies. So if they dare to kill their friends who don't have enough Ice People, then their 'allies' won't have a good ending. After all, the leader of the Snowy Peak Tribe is a cruel person. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to find a large number of abandoned 'allies'. "
Cherna quickly told Li Ke what she knew. After she finished, Li Ke asked her a question.
"Then take them away, if they lack food and can't survive here."
He sighed.
"But Cherna, you have to understand that I won't stay here. I have my own things to do. So if you want me to rule them, it's better for you to do it. "
He reminded Cherna, but she knelt on one knee and declared her loyalty to Li Ke.
"I'm no longer the Battle Mother, Sir. I won't lead anyone anymore. My daughters and I will become your battle maids, your sword and shield. This vow will be maintained until my throat is bitten by a wolf and my soul completely loses itself. "
Li Ke didn't like Cherna's attitude, and the other party's attitude of deciding her daughter's future so hastily made him feel uncomfortable. But knowing that the two had different views, he still used a more tactful method to reject Cherna.
"This is all in the future, so this kind of thing should be decided after your daughter grows up."
After he finished speaking, he jumped down the slope because he saw that Akalan and the others had packed everything and prepared the horses of the knights, so it was naturally time for them to set off. Cherna followed closely behind, and when she jumped down, she took the spoils of war she got from another Ice People, a two-handed hammer with a small piece of ice inlaid.
"Lead the way! Cherna! "
Because even if the newly acquired horses were tied to the sleigh as much as possible, there were still three extra horses. Li Ke no longer sat on the simple but sturdy sleigh. Instead, he rode a horse here and ran in front of the team. Cherna rode a horse like him and led the team to a place that deviated slightly from the predetermined direction.
And less than two hours after they left, the main forces of the Snowpeak Clan who went out to fight also returned to their clan under the notice of the two knights and saw their knights who died miserably. But after learning that her men acted on their own and were killed by two people, the ordinary woman who sat in the position of the Battle Mother couldn't help but let out a roar.
"A bunch of trash!"
She immediately wanted to attack again and chase after Li Ke's group. But as soon as they replenished their arrows and equipment, their clan welcomed the troops of the enemy alliance. They had no choice but to engage in a battle with these people and didn't have the time to care about the guy who killed their men at their doorstep.
After all, it was obvious that the other party's allies had only arrived after recuperating. It was a question of whether their exhausted troops could repel them without paying a huge price. Therefore, even though they all wanted to tear Li Ke into pieces, they had to solve their own problems first.
However, she didn't encounter a battle as soon as she stepped out of the door. When Li Ke and the others arrived at the place that Cerna mentioned, they saw the village that Cerna brought them to. Their thatched huts were engulfed by raging flames and about 20 furnace owners were chased by five laughing warriors. It was as though they weren't the ones who had the advantage in numbers, but the warriors.
After seeing this scene, Li Ke and Cherna looked at each other. Li Ke charged forward to kill the enemies while Cherna stayed behind to protect the people they brought with them.
In the case where the enemy only had five warriors, Li Ke won the battle without any suspense. The furnace owners who had their houses burned could only helplessly choose to accept Li Ke's protection and leave this chaotic place. They went to seek refuge with Aichy, who was rumored to be the reincarnation of Avarosa.
But after Li Ke led them for less than two kilometers, they saw a burning village with cries and cries.
It sounded unbelievable, but if someone could observe this area with a satellite, they would discover that the entire Freldrod's tribes, big and small, had begun a cruel battle for survival. And the closer they got to the towering fortress in the north, the more intense the battle became.
It was as though someone had planned it.
