"What a pity, these guys didn't even consider dragging things out a little, which is completely different from the carefree nature of the barbarians we're used to seeing."
Kael snorted lightly; in his memory, barbarians were troublemakers in every sense of the word, a rabble perfectly suited to the term 'unorganized masses.'
Before the Bone Eater emerged and united the tribe into a cohesive whole, genuinely beginning the transition from nomadic life to civilization, the laxness within the tribe was suffocating.
Without leadership, without literacy, without concentrated power to break through solid rock, and although their locust-like reproductive rate gave them certain advantages in some domains, expecting them to be strong...
Even barbarians didn't believe that.
What Kael was more curious about was, what exactly had caused such a significant shift in the tribe's stance toward the Duchy of Lancaster, or, to put it another way, the Bell Federation.
