- - Yusen POV - -
Count Fihatri really did lead his soldiers and retreated as he declared, Yusen was impressed with him.
"Wow, there are nobles like that too. Just like the lord."
Givens felt the sa way.
"We have things to do. Leave the protection of the territory to the guards and let's go in the mountains."
Yusen unfolded a map in his office at the lord's castle.
"According to His Excellency, it's sowhere around here. We need to focus on this area and see what we can find. First, let's talk to the people who know the geography of the area. anwhile we'll employ the people to begin creating the new houses."
Julius only knew the approximate location from the ga.
Of course, there was still a big difference between knowing and not knowing.
Fortunately, he was able to narrow down the range to a certain extent, and he made the map for Yusen.
"Gather the village chiefs."
"Understood."
Givens acted on Yusen's orders.
Thanks to Count Fihatri's efforts to calm the people, things went on unhindered.
Soti later, three old village chiefs ca to visit Yusen.
"Have you seen any iron in these mountains?"
It was an isolated territory so it was hard to imagine that the information would leak out.
Even if it leaked it would probably be after Julius declared his independence.
For now, the soldiers of Lunan couldn't be inford, but they had to get the cooperation of the people, that was Julius's directive.
"I don't know. I've never heard of such a thing before. It's just that the area is..."
"What's in that place?"
Yusen realized that there was sothing wrong from the look on the village chief and asked back.
Then the village headman shook his head and answered.
"I've never been there. It's a mountain tribe camp."
"A mountain tribe?"
"Yes, it has always been their territory. It has been passed down from generation to generation that we should stay away from that place, so we have never been to that area."
Hearing this, Yusen suddenly stood up, sothing clicked in his mind.
Even more so because the area where the mountain tribe was said to be located matched the area that Julius had ntioned.
Yusen asked the village chief for details on how to get to the mountain where the tribe was located, and left with Givens.
"What's a mountain tribe?"
"It's an indigenous tribe. They're guarding the place, so there must be sothing there. Let's hurry."
"I didn't realize the captain was such a smart guy...Are you impersonating His Excellency...?"
"Shut up and follow ."
Givens got hit once again for talking nonsense.
Struggling up the mountain, they finally stepped into the area the village chief had ntioned.
Then three n with only their lower bodies covered and faces painted green, ca down from the trees and blocked the way.
"Karagatell!"
"What's he saying?"
Yusen and Givens couldn't understand what the n were saying but they weren't friendly.
"Captain, from the vibe I'm getting, I guess they're telling us to get lost right now."
"I suppose you could say that."
At the sa ti, the mountain people attacked.
Yusen had no choice but to draw his sword.
"Givens, don't kill them. If you do, things could get very complicated."
As soon as Yusen gave the order carefully, the battle began.
A warrior of Yusen's calibre is quite a powerful warrior, the three mountain tribesn were knocked out in no ti.
"Who are you people? How dare you attack us!?"
At that mont, another man ca down from the treetops.
This ti the man was, fortunately, speaking the official language of the continent.
"It was a misunderstanding! They attacked us first, so we had no choice! It was self-defense."
"You were the ones who entered our territory!"
Eventually, a battle ensued again.
The man who attacked them this ti was different in size from the previous n.
Not only that, but his strength was also different.
For a while, Yusen fought the man with his sword.
When Givens tried to help him, Yusen imdiately shouted.
"Don't co any closer! Stay there and watch!"
After a long battle, the winner was Yusen, but he was very tired.
"I an you no harm. We just ca here to ask you so questions!"
Yusen said to the man he had defeated while catching his breath.
"Captain, you're looking even more regal in that black armour!"
"I see. Huh. No, no, no, no. I don't care about that. Did you see that, Givens?"
