"Alright! Let's go!"
Fane waved his hand, and the crowd set off in an organized manner.
After a while, they arrived at the bottom of a huge mountain on the opposite side of their village.
"Young Master Fane, those mounted brigands will occasionally go look for martial resources, but most of the time they rely on robbing us. Sometimes, they straight up waited for us at the entrance of the forest where we scavenge for the resources; some people from other families who don’t know about them will be robbed by them too. But, under normal circumstances, they will only rob but dare not offend the people of other families. So,
most of them can only endure their bullies!”
On the way to the peak of the huge mountain, Mason pondered deep on certain issues, and then added, "So I think these mounted brigands have kept a lot of resources in their place. If we kill them all, maybe we could also get all those resources!"
"Young Master Fane, when we successfully raided the brigands and end them, do you think it's possible to consider it as one of our missions in finding resources? And that if we could share half of the resources with the main family?” Another elder chimed in, with a somewhat unsettled tone.
This elder was smart and observant. He could see that Master Mason's intention of mentioning these resources in front of Fane deliberately; Master Mason obviously had an idea in mind about these resources, after all, that was a lot of resources!
However, Fane was the heir of the family head of the main family, and Master
Mason was too embarrassed to ask for the resources directly. So, as an elder, he saw the hint and took initiative to propose.
"First Elder, what nonsense? This is not a finding resources mission, but it'll be a task of Young Master Fane leading us to exterminate the enemy and raid their resources. No matter what, it will be Young Master Fane who helps us to win! Without him, we simply can’t do anything! We wouldn't dare to launch the attack! So naturally, these resources should all belong to Young Master Fane!”
Mason shot the First Elder a fierce glare and reprimanded him strictly.
