Chapter 152: Chapter 136: Snow Rabbit People (Part 3)
...
...
Ever since receiving the news of the presence of alien races, Jess had been increasing patrols around the village every day.
Not just the patrolling sentries but also hidden sentries around the woods.
The importance of the mines was self-evident.
The Lord had entrusted him with such an important task, and Jess couldn’t allow anyone to cause trouble.
Especially at night.
Jess ordered all soldiers to sleep in armor, and the slaves were not allowed to remove their clothing, ensuring they could assemble at their posts in the shortest possible time.
Moreover, Jess frequently got up in the middle of the night to do spot checks on the soldiers, preventing them from secretly sleeping at night.
He then meticulously watched every shift change, missing no suspicious signs.
Jess had anticipated various possibilities of surprise attacks and prepared to defend against alien races.
But he never expected that two rabbit-eared aliens would blatantly stand at the front gate of the village.
Jess thought that the other party might have extraordinary abilities to single-handedly deal with the entire village, and immediately treated them as a threat, ordering all soldiers to assemble.
However, what he didn’t expect was that these two rabbit-eared individuals came to him for a trade.
Jess, of course, had no authority to negotiate trades.
He invited the two aliens into the village, instructed the soldiers to keep a close watch, and then relayed the information to Luo De.

With the initial construction of the Wolf Field completed, Luo De was invited by Wolfhoof to inspect the newly-built Desert Wolf breeding ground.
The structure of this place was quite similar to a horse farm, with simple fences around it.
There was little need to prevent Desert Wolves from escaping, but more to defend against other fierce beasts and potential attacks.
This Wolf Field was situated in the hidden woods near the coal mines.
So both sides could support each other if needed.
If the coal mines were in danger, Wolfhoof could quickly bring the Wild Wolf brigade to support.
Luo De did not let the Wolfhoof Tribe raise too many Desert Wolves, as feeding them was quite a hefty expense.
In the short term, the population of his tribe would not increase drastically, so there was no need for too many wolves, thus only thirteen were raised.
This also avoided conflicts between different wolf packs.
Typically, the food for the Desert Wolves was provided by the Wolfhoof Tribe themselves.
The Wild Wolf brigade needed training to hone their hunting skills, and part of the prey they caught was just right to serve as food for the Desert Wolves.
After Luo De finished inspecting the Wolf Field and was about to leave, he received a message regarding the two alien envoys.
"Snow Rabbit People... I haven’t heard of that before."
After reading the report, Luo De felt that the Northern Wasteland was becoming increasingly complex.
Previously, he had heard of the Lizardmen, and now these Snow Rabbit People had appeared.
Along with the Wilderness Tribe, who worshiped the Beast Spirit and Spirit of Nature, and various magical beasts and ruins.
These were things Luo De had only heard as stories while at Tulip Castle.
Now, they were all before him.
No, it wasn’t that the Northern Wasteland was complex.
It’s that this world has always been this way.
Luo De pondered for a moment.
Perhaps many fantasy events were discovered by the Empire’s four major provinces, but each noble family kept them hidden.
Whereas the Northern Wasteland remained largely an untouched land.
This was why Luo De encountered so many exotic races and events here.
Luo De suddenly remembered the Western Isles mentioned by the Dawn Society.
——That was also a place of confusion, with many legends of alien races.
Perhaps the world had more unexplored virgin lands than just the Northern Wasteland.
Luo De shook his head slightly, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind for now.
He handed the letter to a Guard.
"Have them come to Frost Leaf Town to meet me."
The mines and Wolf Field were not suitable places for meetings, so Luo De planned to return to the manor first.
"Oh, and tell Jess to prepare a hood for them, to cover their alien features."
Aliens with rabbit ears could easily incite panic among ordinary people, and Luo De didn’t want any unnecessary complications.
"Yes, Lord."
The Guard responded and went to deliver the message promptly.
