I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 37 Brothers
"Ow!"

In an instant, roars and shouts of killing rose and fell as the two sides clashed in a fierce battle!
Gunle sidestepped the wolf's attack and swung his battle axe!
The Steppenwolf howled, and blood instantly drew an arc in the air!
"Useless Wolf!"

Gunle grinned wildly and swung his battle axe, cutting down another wasteland wolf!

He wasn't the oldest in the team, but he was the most enduring, had the fastest reaction time, and was the most ferocious fighter, which is why he was elected captain.

Seeing their two companions killed in succession, the wolf pack dared not attack again and instead circled around Gunle.

This situation greatly boosted everyone's morale, and they all fought bravely without fear. In the blink of an eye, there were seven or eight more corpses of steppe wolves on the ground.

Just when Gunle thought he had easily crushed the enemy, a huge, dark-furred steppe wolf suddenly rushed out from the side, startling Gunle into quickly dodging!
"The Wolf King?!"

Gunle sensed something was wrong. How could the Wolf King be here?
The next second, reality gave Gunther the answer.

—Another huge black steppe wolf pounced!
There can't be two alpha wolves in a wolf pack!
"What kind of bastard is this?!"

Gunle didn't have time to think, grabbing his axe and fighting the black steppe wolf!

These black wolves were strong and agile, and Gunle was immediately entangled by two of them and unable to break free for a while.

"Quick, help the boss!"

Doron shouted, and just as he was about to step forward, another steppe wolf pounced on him!

Doron instinctively swung his sword to defend himself, but at that moment a third black wolf suddenly sprang out from behind and pounced on him!
Duolong reacted quickly, turning around and sweeping his longsword horizontally, instantly cutting a line of blood on the black wolf, and successfully forcing the black wolf back!

However, at this moment, another steppe wolf seized the opportunity, opened its blood-red mouth and pounced on him!

In a panic, Duolong could only use his arm to block, but the Steppenwolf bit down on it!
The sound of metal scraping against metal rang out as the chainmail blocked the Steppenwolf's sharp teeth, but Doron's arm was held firmly by the Steppenwolf!
At this moment, the black wolf, which had been knocked away by Duolong, turned back and viciously pounced on him again, causing his longsword to fall to the ground!
The menacing fangs loomed large before Doron's eyes, and the stench assaulted his senses, instantly making him feel a primal ferocity!
Doron broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his neck and frantically waved his arms to block, but to no avail!
The moment he was tackled, more steppe wolves seized the opportunity and pounced!

"Doron!" The soldier closest to him tried to help, but was held back by three ferocious wolves!

"Die!"

The sinister fangs lunged straight for his throat, and Duolong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
Woo!
At this critical moment of life and death, the battle axe flashed silver in the air, and blood splattered everywhere!

"go away!"

Gunle roared, and the black wolf howled as it flew backward!

Then, the Gunther's battle axe swept across the area, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere!
The other soldiers quickly rushed forward to stop the wolf pack!

Gunle reached out and pulled Doron up.

"Can it hold up?"

Having feinted at death, Doron regained his senses and nodded heavily, "I can hold on!"

Gunle patted Doron on the shoulder reassuringly, then turned and shouted to everyone, "Watch out! Something's fishy about these wolves!"

As he spoke, Gunle swung his axe again, knocking down the stray wolf that pounced on him.

Without the massive black steppe wolf, the wolf pack's momentum was once again suppressed, howling around Gunle and the others but daring not to advance.

Roar!
At this moment, a short wolf howl rang out, and the besieging wolf pack did not linger and immediately turned around and retreated!

"Raine succeeded!"

Gunle was overjoyed, then his eyes widened in anger.

"Come when you want and leave when you want?"

Gunle shouted, "Stay here, all of them! Don't let them cause any trouble for Renn!"

In an instant, the tide turned and the wolf pack was turned. Gangle led his men to pursue the wolf pack!
The wolves arrived quickly and ran away just as fast, and by the time they encountered Renn, they hadn't killed many wolves.

Despite this, the wolf pack still left behind nearly twenty wolf carcasses.

"Are you okay?"

Gunle glanced at everyone and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were all safe and sound.

The main reason was that Gunther and his brothers were well-equipped, and the Steppenwolf's claws and fangs could hardly cause them much damage while they were wearing chainmail.

As long as vital organs are protected, life is basically safe.

Ryan ran quickly to Gunther.

“Something’s wrong with this pack of wasteland wolves. Ordinary arrows pose no threat to the wolf king.”

"Then how did it get away?" Gunle asked.

“Use this.” Renn showed Gunle the armor-piercing arrow and explained, “It was a gift from the lord; it’s the same as your battle axe.”

"I understand."

Gunther suddenly realized.

Raine looked at the arrow in his hand and sighed, "It's a pity we didn't kill the wolf king; it took my armor-piercing arrow with it."

Rennes only has four of these armor-piercing arrows; each one used reduces the remaining supply.

"It's alright, let's gather up all the game and take it back. The lord can reward you with more."

Gunle turned to his men and shouted, "Clean up the battlefield!"

Although the wolf pack has not been completely eradicated, so much prey cannot be wasted; it must all be collected and taken back.

While everyone was busy cleaning up the Steppenwolf's carcass, Doron walked up to Gunle.

He hesitated for a moment, then stammered out his words.
"Boss, can I...can I choose again?"

"Aha?"

Gunle turned around. "Because we just saved you?"

Doron remained silent.

Gunther grinned and waved his hand casually.
"You don't need to stay to repay us. We're teammates, brothers. Isn't it normal to help each other in battle?"

"I know, but I also know that I can't farm like a farmer; I'm destined to rely on working hard to earn gold coins."

Doron looked at Gunle, lowered his head and murmured, "I thought about it seriously just now. Perhaps if I leave you and these brothers, I will never find a brother like you who would pull me up before I die."

Mercenaries are all in it for the money; they fight if they can win, and retreat if they can't.

Just like the guards on the golden sands, if the enemy is too powerful, taking them as prisoners is not out of the question.

Unless you're surrounded by trustworthy old teammates, who would really dare to entrust their back to someone and risk their life?

"Boss, are you still willing to play with me?" Doron's voice was a little soft.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Gunle punched Doron on the shoulder hard. "We've been brothers for over ten years. If you're willing to work with us, you're welcome anytime!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Duolong breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"But aren't you going back to marry Katie?"

Doron chuckled and said, "If I'm going to marry her, I'll bring Katie over."

“That’s perfect. There’s no tavern in Frostleaf Town. Let’s go back and talk to the lord. We brothers can chip in and open one for her.”

Gunle laughed heartily, "With Katie's excellent brewing skills, her business is sure to be booming. She'll even have a place to retire when she gets old!"

"That's a good idea!"

"Doron, we're counting on your Katie from now on!"

The other brothers laughed and cheered.

"Okay, hahaha!"

Doron smiled and agreed, easily replacing the tense atmosphere of the bloody battle.

The other three brothers, who were about to leave, exchanged glances, got up, walked up to Gunle, apologized, and all wanted to stay.

Gunle, of course, didn't mind and cheerfully got up to put his arm around their shoulders in welcome.

They took out the silver coins they had previously kept and returned them to Gunther.

Gunle took them all and stuffed them into Doron's hands as start-up capital for opening a tavern.

"I'm a bit hungry after killing a few animals."

Gunle rubbed his stomach, picked up a now-cold rabbit, and headed towards the fire.

"It's not too late yet, let's go eat some more!"
