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

Chapter 66 Do your people want to eat bread?
Judging from their appearance, these savages' social structure should still be the most basic tribal form.

"Do these people still eat raw meat?"

Rhodes looked at Us and asked, "Do they eat human flesh?"

“I do not eat raw meat, nor do I eat human flesh, sir,” Us replied.

"That's good."

If it's about eating human flesh, Rhodes really can't leave them alive.

Rhodes looked at the savages and asked in a cold voice, "Who is the leader?"

“Ula, ula, ula…”

A loud commotion came from the savage's mouth, giving Rhodes a headache.

These people don't even know how to speak a common language.

It seems they really have been staying in the mountains all along.

"Can any of you understand what they're saying?"

Rhodes turned to look at Us and the others.

If no one understands what these savages are saying, then Rhodes will have to have someone whip them and make them do some of the most primitive work.

For example, mining, quarrying stones.

"I... I can do it, little by little."

Us stepped forward and spoke.

His wife, mother, and father immediately looked at him, as if questioning why he was the only one in the family who didn't know how.

"Have you all forgotten, Grandmother!"

Us turned to Rhodes and explained, “My grandmother was a savage. She taught me some things when I was little, but I don’t know if she was from the same tribe as them.”

"Try it."

Rhodes gestured for Us to come forward.

Us nodded, walked up to the savages, and called out to them.
"Prince screams!"

After he finished speaking, the savages looked at each other in bewilderment.

Us thought they hadn't understood, so he repeated himself.

At this moment, a tall and strong man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, stepped out from among the savages.

Rod waved his hand, signaling the man to come out.

The man understood and slowly walked up to Rhodes.

Without hesitation, Rod slapped the man twice.

The other savages suddenly stood up, their expressions filled with anger as they tried to resist, but they were forced back by the guards' sharp blades and squatted down again.

The savage leader stared wide-eyed and mumbled a string of words.

“Tell him that this is punishment for attacking my people, and that punishment is already very lenient.”

After saying that, Rod slapped the man twice more.

Judging from the reactions of these savages, it was confirmed that the man in front of them was indeed their leader.

"Those two slaps were the price they paid for their anger."

After the four slaps landed, the savage chieftain tried to retaliate, but was forced back by the guards' longswords held to his neck.

Without wasting words, Rhodes said to Us:

"Ask him his name, what tribe he belongs to, how many people he has, and why he doesn't stay in the Blade's Edge Mountains but comes out to rob others?"

Us nodded, thought for a moment, and translated Rhodes' words to the savage.

The savage chieftain then launched into a long tirade.

Us turned his head with some difficulty. "He said a child is not worthy to speak to him, not worthy to ask him questions."

“He said he only submits to the leader, and you don’t look as strong as a soldier, so you don’t have the strength to slap him.”

“I told him you are the leader, but he didn’t believe me.”

Us looked distressed.

These savages had no concept of noble lords or chieftains. Their primitive tribal lifestyle made them believe that only a strong leader could lead them to hunt prey.

"Aren't there elders and wise men in the tribe?"

After asking the question, Rhodes suddenly realized something.

Wise people are all older.

"It's alright, you don't need to translate."

Rhodes waved his hand, smiling as he extended his hand to the savage chieftain.

"Come on, let's see just how strong you really are."

The savage chieftain tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and hesitantly grasped Rhodes' hand. A tremendous force instantly struck!
"what!"

The savage chieftain let out a scream, the pain causing him to involuntarily bend over!

But Rod didn't hold back; he increased the force in his hand again!
Not to mention the power boost from the Knight's Breathing Technique, the bonus from the Forging Power alone is something this savage can't handle!
However, to Rhodes' surprise, this savage was quite fierce.

The force in his hand did not subdue him; instead, he swung another fist at Rhodes!
Snapped!
With a crisp crack of flesh striking flesh, the savage's fist was firmly caught by Rhodes' other hand!

Rhodes then twisted his arm forcefully, and the wild man let out another scream!
Immediately afterwards, Rod kicked the savage chieftain in the chest, sending him flying backward!

Bang!
The savage leader crashed heavily to the ground, his fall striking the hearts of the savages as well.

Strangely, when Rhodes slaps the savage chieftain, they become angry and want to fight back.

But when Rhodes kicked their leader away, the savages lowered their heads and dared not look Rhodes in the eye.

The Us family stared wide-eyed, stunned on the spot.

This young lord is so powerful?

No wonder I was afraid of him!
The guards, however, were not surprised at all.

—The lord is the one who cut off the dragon's head with a single sword stroke. What are the savages in the mountains compared to him?
"Is this your tribal rule?"

Rhodes calmly walked up to the savage chieftain, reached out and grabbed his hair, pulling his head up.

"Can you answer the questions properly now?"

The savage leader nodded.

"Very good... huh?"

Rhodes frowned slightly. "You can understand me?"

"A prophet, a teacher, and a listener."

……

……

After being beaten, the savage chieftain became unusually docile and poured out all the information that Rhodes wanted to know.

His name is Tasa, he comes from the White Frost tribe, and he has only recently taken over as chief.

Many fields in the tribe were washed away by the heavy rain, and two caves where grain was stored were flooded.

Food reserves were already low for this season, and this heavy rain made matters worse, leaving the entire White Frost tribe teetering on the brink of starvation every day.

To solve their food problem, the Baishuang tribe had two options.

Venture deep into the Blade's Edge Mountains in search of food, or venture out to plunder.

In order to obtain the answer, the prophet performed a divination.

The divination results indicated that venturing out of the Blade's Edge Mountains to engage in raiding would be the right choice.

"It seems their prophetic divination was also wrong."

Us shook his head and sighed, "We didn't get the stuff, and we got caught instead."

"No, I think it's very accurate."

Rhodes smiled and said to Tassa, "Be my slave, work for me, and I'll feed you."

Us was taken aback.

The prophet's divination was to solve the food problem, and indeed, after being captured and enslaved, he was fed!

It really solved the food shortage problem!

"Are you full?" asked Tasa, the savage leader.

"Are you asking if we can get enough to eat?" Rod asked back to confirm.

Tassa nodded.

Without saying a word, Rod immediately ordered the kitchen to bring over some black bread.

It's not surprising that these savages often eat meat in the mountains; bread and similar foods are the real temptation for them.

Sure enough, when the black bread was served, the savages stared at it with wide eyes, eager to try it.

If it weren't for Rhodes and his guards, they probably would have pounced on them and started snatching the loot.

When the guards handed out the bread to them, the savages stuffed the whole loaf into their mouths.

Black bread is not soft to begin with, and these have been sitting for several days, making them very hard. Rhodes usually arranges for the kitchen to soak them in hot soup before serving them to the slaves.

But these savages didn't care at all, and even swallowed them without chewing them properly.

This was the first time Rod saw the word "brutal" while eating bread.

"Alright, now you've finished your bread."

Rhodes gazed at Tassa and said slowly, "Do you want all your people to have bread to eat?"
