king of ros

Chapter 160
In the dense forest of Northeast Ross, a huge hunt is going on.

In this northern land, this is the first time that such a large-scale hunting has been carried out.

Relying on his superb archery skills, Dill, who became a prince's personal soldier, has now returned to his old profession, leading a group of personal soldiers and hunters to drive away wild animals and prepare for the big hunt.

It was the first time for Dill to participate in such a large-scale hunt. In the past, there were no more than a few dozen people in the village hunt, but now hundreds of people participated in the hunt.

This made him feel nervous. Although this is not a battlefield, such a large-scale hunt is no less than a battlefield to some extent.

Many in Dill's party carried instruments that made loud noises, and they struck them to make a sound that seemed earth-shattering, frightening the beasts of the forest, and driving them in their intended direction, in the direction of death.

There was also such a noise from all around, which shows that the scale of driving and hunting is large this time.

No matter what kind of animal it is, timid herds of deer or rabbits, ferocious wild boars and bears, they all flee in panic amidst the sound that resounds through the world. They have never seen such a scene before, heard such a scene. The deafening sound and the instinct of survival prompted them to flee subconsciously.

Even the sky was full of frightened birds, and they were subconsciously running away from the loud noise. Some birds were even frightened to death, and fell straight from the sky like that.

Occasionally, some wild beasts bravely resisted the humans behind them, but it was a pity that they would be shot through the head by a sharp arrow, telling other animals the end of their resistance, and urging them to run faster.

Finally, hordes of beasts ran out of the dense forest and came to the unprotected wilderness, and only a few minutes later, more animals rushed out of the forest, these were driven out by other teams .

And at this moment, all the teams stopped chasing, because if the wild beasts saw the truth by attacking rashly, then many wild beasts would inevitably turn back and fight back, causing many casualties at that time.

But the most important thing is that there is a risk of being accidentally injured if you go forward.

Before the huge herd that was driven out, there was a group of archers waiting in battle, and warriors with Ross's rare crossbow put this weapon on the shield. Can shoot.

"shooting!"

After that order, there was the sound of countless bowstrings, and then there were waves of beasts howling. Under the overwhelming arrows, these beasts had no chance of survival.

After a while, the wilderness was completely soaked in blood, as well as countless animal corpses.

The hunters reacted very quickly. According to the experience accumulated in these days, they stepped forward to take down the arrows they shot, and then loaded the animal carcasses into the long-awaited cart.

Soldiers in armor walked among them, urging people to work.

These prey are very diverse, bears, deer, rabbits, birds... Many of them exist as natural enemies, but they are all lying together like this now, lying together as corpses.

"No matter how many times I watch this scene, I still feel shocked."

Dill, who had already boarded a carriage full of animal carcasses, held his bow and sighed. This farmer in Northeast Ross felt more and more that joining the army was the right choice. How could he have seen such a scene if he hadn't joined the army.

The carriage led the soldier along the animal trail in the forest, and after walking for about 10 minutes, a huge camp appeared.

The carriage then stopped, and at the moment it stopped, soldiers stepped forward to carry the corpses, and then these corpses would be sent to the pile of corpses that had been piled up like a hill, even if people kept taking these corpses, the height is still slowly increasing.

At a glance, there are people dealing with animal carcasses everywhere. First, the animals are skinned. The experienced cobbler skillfully removes the fur, and then the carcass will be sent to the butcher to be further decomposed, and finally salted. Stuffed into the bucket.

This is a bustling work scene, and everyone is in high spirits, because the prince of Moscow will distribute to everyone according to the total amount, and the more the total amount, the more people will be distributed.

In addition to the carriages full of animal carcasses, there were hunters and even farmers carrying prey to sell to the prince from time to time, and Rostislav was happy to accept their goods.

After the corpses on the carriage were removed, Dill also immediately called to the driver to turn the horse's head and go back to work.

--------

Since mid-March, Rostislav Vladimirovich has set off a huge hunt.

Most of the troops in the hands of the Prince of Moscow were mobilized in this hunt, and the Prince's purpose was very simple, he wanted to destroy the wild beasts that wreaked havoc in the wilderness.

Although the roads in Northeast Ross are very safe due to the construction of the Walled City, people have to face danger when they leave for a while, and most of the dangers do not come from people, but from wild beasts.

Yes, beast.

In this era, wild beasts pose a great threat to human beings. In the wilderness, groups of wolves even dare to attack villages and go to the villages to grab people openly.

Bears are dishonest, and stealing villagers' honey is a daily routine, and honey is an important foreign trade commodity in Northeast Ross, so every family has a bear hunting spear.

Even settlements are so presumptuous, let alone travelers in the wild.

Therefore, the prince set off this big hunt, intending to reduce the number of these wild animals and create a safer wild environment. The most important thing is that the prince should take this opportunity to declare his authority to the rural areas of Northeast Ross.

It's embarrassing to say, although Rostislav has been a prince for several years, but he is sure that more than half of the farmers in this land still treat him indifferently and don't answer him.

Therefore, the prince needs to increase his presence in the countryside, and the best way is to set off a large-scale hunt to show the group of country bumpkins his extremely powerful strength—this is why the prince dispatched so many elites.

The hunting is also beneficial to the princes, and the local residents must participate in the hunting. After all, it is also beneficial to them. This is an opportunity to establish authority. It can also be used to train the militia and cronies. Large-scale hunting can be said to be a large-scale military A rehearsal of the action.

And the large amount of meat and fur obtained can also bring great wealth after a little processing.

When they first set off from Moscow, Rostislav's hunting team was only a thousand people, but as time passed, the number of hunting team exceeded [-] in a very short period of time.
