This is the territory of the Fenway family, and of course they have a lot of wealth. Although the Fenway family is small in number, they are indeed very wealthy, after all, they control the core technology.
The Noldor elves wanted to transfer supplies because after Aldarian was defeated, the seriously wounded soldiers who returned from the front line told them that the enemy had chased them into the depths of the forest and that their numbers were relatively large, so they asked them to hide.
However, since there were a lot of supplies and they could not be transported by car in the forest, they discovered a large number of enemies before they could finish transporting them.
So they stopped the transportation of supplies and moved everything into the stables. The seriously injured and children were also moved into the stables, and all the adult Noldor were guarding in front of the stables.
Andongjia originally thought that the people of the Bear Claw Tribe would get a lot of benefits, because she knew that those Noldor probably could not withstand the berserkers of the Bear Claw Tribe, and the shaman would not care how many people died - as long as he could get the supplies in the stable, he would not care even if all the people died!
But unexpectedly, Li Ang's troops suddenly rushed out and changed the situation of the battle.
So she stabbed her enemy to death at the last moment, completing her revenge - she followed the shaman forward with the intention of stabbing him to death, but she was injured in the melee, and the shaman ran fast...
"So, Miss Andonga, you wanted to kill all of them... It seems that you have almost fulfilled your wish now. I admire your courage. It is really not easy to achieve such a goal alone!"
Anson, who was bandaging Andonga's wound, was quite emotional, probably remembering the time when he was kidnapped by pirates.
Anson has developed his courage now, but he certainly remembers how he looked like a weakling hiding behind Sarama when he first faced the battlefield. He often laughs at himself at that time.
He really admired such a person with extraordinary courage and intelligence, not to mention that she was a woman.
"Ahaha, shy doctor, if you show up north of Misty Mountain, I will definitely take you home..."
An Dongjia's face was now pale from blood loss, but this did not affect her joking with Anson at all. She seemed to have a good impression of this shy cultured person - of course, perhaps more importantly, Anson's words made her feel respected.
As for the people of the Northern Misty Mountains, she had never heard the name other than "wild people" from the people of Pendor.
Anson called her 'Miss An Dongjia' - this was of course Anson's usual polite attitude towards people, but for An Dongjia, this was the first time.
Anson's knowledge of history and culture is not bad. He knows a lot about the customs of the barbarians and can certainly understand jokes like "take him home".
So he stopped talking, smiled shyly, tied a knot on the wound on Andongjia's waist, and ran to treat other wounded people.
An Dongjia whistled at Anson's back, she looked like a female hooligan.
The Lord looked at the female hooligan with interest: "An Dongjia, so it seems that you have nowhere to go?"
Of course he admired someone who had the courage to put her plan into action alone , even if she was a Misty Mountaineer.
"My Lord, I really have nowhere to go... Thank you for saving my life just now, but I actually didn't think I could still be alive."
An Dongjia turned around, shook his head and said something, then turned to look at Anson again.
She was quite serious when facing Leon, but when , she licked her lips and began to wipe the marks on her face that were drawn with something unknown...
"Haha... It doesn't look like you plan to die... In that case, you should stay with Anson for the time being. I think you can protect him - of course, this means you have to pledge allegiance to me."
The lord was very considerate and arranged a good job for Andongjia.
"Ah? Ahaha... Thank you, my lord! This looks like a good job..."
An Dongjia turned his head to look at Li Ang, and saw that Li Ang was pointing at Anson. He was stunned for several seconds before he understood what Li Ang meant, and smiled in surprise.
Then she supported herself on the ground and half-knelt, picked up the sword on the ground, cut her hand, smeared the blood on her face, lowered her head towards Leon, held the blade in her hand and handed the hilt to Leon.
"I will be at your service, my Lord!"
It seems that this is the unique way for the Misty Mountain people to express their loyalty. The blood smeared on the face probably means that they are willing to follow the leader and fight to the death.
Leon looked at her bloody face and behaved like a barbarian, and in his heart he mourned for Anson for half a second.
"An Dongjia, you'd better go wash your face, otherwise I think Anson might run away... Besides, my soldiers need to learn some culture. I hope you won't regret it..."
The lord took the sword and put it directly back into the scabbard on Andongjia.
'An Dongjia has joined your team'.
This was probably the partner that Leon had the most success recruiting. She seemed to be eager to " protect " Anson...
At this time, a Twilight Knight from the Fenwe family walked towards the lord.
Lisadilan tried to stop him, but the Twilight Knight spread his hands to show that he meant no harm and that he had no weapon on him.
This is the other Twilight Knight who threw the sword earlier.
It seemed that Anson's treatment without discrimination based on race had impressed him a lot, and he looked at Leon with some kindness in his eyes.
But when he glanced at Andonga, there was still obvious disgust in the eyes of this Twilight Knight.
"Your Excellency, I am Sederen of House Finwe. I apologize for the rudeness of my people. Of course, I think you can understand that none of us ever thought we would get help from humans."
The Twilight Knight walked up to Leon and lowered his head to touch his chest.
The Lord smiled and said, "I understand that. However, you'd better tell me the current situation... Didn't you encounter Islandir's troops?"
"His Highness Islandil? Isn't he fighting against the human army in the south?"
The Twilight Knight named Sederen was stunned for a moment.
Le Ang felt something was wrong - he had obtained the information from Islamandil. Logically, Islamandil's troops should have rushed back to the area long ago, and they should have arranged defenses in important places such as the horse farm as soon as possible.
But the men of the House of Finwë encountered no host from Islandil...
The Jatu and Misty Mountaineers were not very strong in the forest, and they could not stop Islandil's troops.
"You didn't encounter any troops from House Aino?"
When Lisadilan heard this, he was a little confused. Islamdir didn't come?
"No, I only encountered these wounded people from the Dallion tribe yesterday morning. They said that the Jatu people were chasing us. After I sent someone to report the situation, I began to prepare to transfer personnel and supplies..."
Sederen pointed to the wounded in the stable and he also noticed something was wrong.
"So, besides the Jatu people and the Misty Mountain people, there may be other forces taking advantage of the situation! Sederen, you'd better quickly disperse your people to investigate the surrounding situation, and notify the rest of your family's territories to prepare for full defense!"
Leon quickly told Sederen that his men were all humans, so there was no way they could send messages to other Noldor settlements, and it could only be done by the Noldor elves.
Sederen knew that what Leon said made sense. If even Islandil's troops could not come here, it meant that the territory of the Finwe family would have to face the enemy alone in a short period of time.
He didn't waste any time and immediately dispatched his men.
The Twilight Knight with the bad attitude was first sent to the southeast, probably to seek help.
The other twenty or so Noldor were all dispatched to various directions as scouts.
After sending away most of the uninjured Noldor elves, Sederen returned to Leon's side.
"Sir Leon, the wounded and supplies here must be moved, especially the children, but I don't have enough manpower now... I'm worried that the Jatu people will come back."
It was obvious that Sai Deren wanted to ask Li Ang for help, as he only had a dozen or so people around him.
But now there were dozens of wounded soldiers, supplies that filled half of the stable, and three young children staring at Li Ang with fear in their eyes...
There were no roads or carriages in the forest, making it inconvenient to transport anything. There were only a few foals left in the stable, and it was estimated that the other adult horses had already been used to transport the last batch of supplies.
"Where are you going to move these?"
The lord frowned. It was right to transfer the supplies and horses before the horse farm was attacked, because it was unknown how many enemies there were at that time.
But now, after the battle, moving supplies was no longer an option, because those Jatu people were definitely not far away.
"Our family has a settlement of more than 200 people about 60 miles to the east, and our family's weapons factory is also there..."
Sai Deren saluted Li Ang again by touching his chest.
"Sixty miles... a weapons factory with more than two hundred people... that place is used to make weapons and equipment, right? There must be fireworks and loud noises there, right?"
The lord shook his head, seemingly disapproving of Sederen's plan.
"Yes, Lord Leon, you mean..."
Sederen became visibly nervous, thinking that Leon didn't want to help him.
"I mean, if I were a Jatu, I wouldn't go far. I'd ambush nearby, either to attack lone rangers or to ambush transports."
Leon shook his head, feeling that the brains of the Nodo seemed disproportionate to their age. Perhaps they had been in the forest for too long and their thinking had become rigid.
Sederen probably always thinks about how to avoid losses, but in fact it is more dangerous to transfer supplies at this time.
Neither raising war horses nor making weapons and armor could be done in the city, so all of the Finwe family's businesses were built in the forest.
But if you want to produce weapons and equipment, you have to do high-temperature forging - at least you have to find a place where you can safely start a fire and have a water source, otherwise if a forest fire is caused, everything will be ruined...
It is not easy to find such a suitable place in the primeval forest, so the two places are sixty miles apart.
Sixty miles may not sound far, but the distance in the mountainous primeval forest is completely different from the sixty miles in the plains in the general sense...
On the plain road, whether by horse-drawn carriage or on people's backs, one can travel sixty miles in three or four hours.
However, if one relies on manpower to transport the wounded and goods in the primeval forest, even if one is very familiar with the route, it may take thirty hours to reach the destination.
There are no roads or carriages in the forest. To transport supplies, most people must take off their equipment. Otherwise, they will not be able to carry the supplies through the primeval forest while wearing dozens of kilograms of weight - in this case, if they encounter an ambush, they will only have one way to go, and they cannot fight a cold weapon war without equipment.
Maybe Leon's judgment was just based on his feeling, but if he wanted to attack the Noldor, he would definitely do so.
The Jatu would certainly not fight the Noldor head-on in the forest, so they would do the same.
Sederen also frowned. This was originally just a simple substitution of thinking, but perhaps it was the arrogance in the bones of the Noldor that made him never think in this way - just like humans would never actively substitute their thinking into the minds of monkeys.
"Whether it's here or the weapons factory, such relatively open areas are easy for the Jatu people to discover and find. In addition, a weapons factory with 200 people must have a lot of fireworks and noise, so there are probably a lot of enemies around the weapons factory... Sederen, what you should consider now is not how to transfer supplies, but how to quickly kill the enemies here and then go over to rescue them!"
As Li Ang spoke, he pointed to the sparsely wooded environment outside and said, "In fact, this relatively open area is most suitable for the Jatu people to fight, so the Jatu people will not leave here easily. They must still be nearby. And your people will be safer in the primeval forest! So I suggest you hide all the wounded and children in the forest in the south. As for these horses, food, saddles and the like - leave these things that the Jatu people want most in the stable and wait for them to rob them! We can ambush the Jatu people here!"
After Li Ang finished speaking, he pointed at his troops and told Sederen that it would be better to change his thinking. He said that he could give fishing enforcement a try: "The Jatu people will definitely continue to observe the situation at the horse farm. We can work together to set up an ambush at this horse farm. There are ready-made baits in the stables... Let's give the enemy some opportunities, and they will come!"
Sederen thought about it, and discussed the specific tactics seriously with Leon, then gathered the remaining dozen or so Noldor warriors and asked them to disperse into the surrounding forests to serve as scouts.
He felt that what Li Ang said made sense. Before, he had too few people and little room for maneuver. But now Li Ang had more than 200 people under him, and his own men were very familiar with the environment, so he could indeed lure the enemy and set an ambush.
Half a day later, several Noldor warriors came back panting.
They found the Jatu people in the forest to the north. They were probably the Jatu people who had retreated before. They were indeed hiding in the nearby woods.
"Set off!"
The lord left the stable with his troops and seemed to be heading east.
Several foals were released from the stable and began to run happily around the stable. These green and yellow ponies were still young and knew nothing, and they jumped and jumped and looked very happy.
Only Anson and a few others were still recuperating beside the stable, busy and sweating.
Andongjia stood by and stared at Anson intently, lending a hand from time to time.
The entire stable seemed to be unguarded, with only a team of thirty people patrolling around the stable. These were the Noldor warriors under Sederen, who had just returned from a scouting mission.
In fact, this method of luring the enemy is not very sophisticated. As long as the enemy has brains, they probably won't be fooled. After all, they just fought a battle half a day ago, and it is obviously suspicious to put on such a posture now.
So nothing happened until the evening. The foal returned to the stable, and everyone entered the huge stable, apparently to rest in the stable.
The lord also returned to the stable with a troop. After turning around a few times, he led his troops south.
Countless birds were startled along the way.
Looking at the tracks of the startled birds, they seemed to be flying far south.
A few hours later, it was already night, the moon was dim, and the sounds of a few night owls were heard.
The Jatu people finally arrived.
Perhaps to the Jatu people, those foals are priceless treasures...
In the eyes of the Jatu people, Leon's troops were probably ambushed beforehand, and when they first moved eastward, it was obvious that they were lying in ambush nearby.
But the Jatu people did not make any movement, so Leon returned in the evening.
But now his troops must have gone far south. Judging from the state of the flying birds in the evening, they have walked at least several miles.
These Jatu people no longer used the previous scattered state. Most of them drew bows, formed an irregular arc, and slowly surrounded the stable. They looked quite cautious.
This is the most suitable formation for the majority to bully the minority.
But there was no response from the stable.
It was not until the Jatu people were only two or three hundred meters away from the stable that the stable finally opened its door.
A group of soldiers ran out of the dark stable and lined up in front of the stable, but just one minute later they all fled.
Because the Jatu people had approached to within only a hundred meters, they began to shoot arrows - they could not shoot at each other due to the huge difference in numbers, and the side with fewer people would definitely have to run away.
They all ran towards the back of the stable, and it looked like they had indeed escaped.
The Jatu people continued to move slowly and cautiously towards the stable for a few steps before they finally felt relieved - dozens of people had already come out of the stable, so there wouldn't be too many people inside now.
It was just a stable of less than a thousand square meters, and there were obvious sounds of horses inside. It was obviously impossible to hide more soldiers and horses.
With a loud shout of "Hasa! Jatu!", their pace began to quicken until they were charging at full speed.
There was still no response in the stable, only a few neighs of the foal were heard.
Then, a group of Jatu people rushed into the stable in a chaotic manner without any confrontation.
But they immediately let out a scream even louder than the previous 'Hasa'...
