Yarrow Camp

The fate of the remaining three was no different from that of their companions.

In the blink of an eye, the three Wilderness Hunter were also knocked to the ground by Linsey, their ability to resist completely taken away.

He watched as these divine soldiers descended from the sky and saved him.

The soldier who had been protecting the little girl still dared not lower his sword, watching Linsey with wary eyes.

"This..."

"Linsey, you can just call me Linsey."

Linsey put away her weapon and introduced herself:

"I came to this world from the Seven Seas Alliance using Teleportation Array, so I'm not aware of the situation here. Would you mind explaining what just happened to me?"

Linsey's kindness relieved the soldier.

"Of course, but please allow me to take care of my companion first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier checked his comrade's injuries and skillfully began to treat them.

The little girl he had just been protecting was now moving closer to Linsey:

"Mr. Linsey, thank you so much for your help!"

The child bowed deeply to Linsey very politely before continuing:

"My name is Vivian, and I can explain what happened here to you."

Linsey nodded slightly:

"OK."

Vivian began by saying:

"Bull and I came from the Yarrow Camp. Today we were planning to take the remaining refugees back to the camp. But as you can see, this looks like a trap."

Linsey's expression was somewhat complicated.

He had examined the information on the footprints before he came. Vivian should only be about 4 years old this year. In another world, she would be just starting kindergarten.

But this is, after all, Wasteland, and there are awakened beings here.

It's not impossible to understand why some children are precocious.

Even so, it is still puzzling that such young children could participate in this refugee reception operation.

"Vivian, how old are you this year?"

Linsey began by asking a question.

Vivian's blue eyes widened before she realized what Linsey was surprised about.

The child was too shy to lower his head, only revealing his golden hair to Linsey:

"Four, am I four years old this year?"

Vivian realized her lapse in composure and quickly looked up, explaining with utmost seriousness:

"This is my presumptuous request! I will also be taking on work in the camp in the future, and this mission is not dangerous, so my father finally agreed to let me learn from Bull."

Linsey then asked a few more questions.

Although Vivian is young, she speaks clearly and logically.

In short, her father, Yarrowen, built a camp in the eastern part of the world and maintained its development by relying on Awakened Ones and some special resources.

And it's different from the Green Swamp area.

Yarrowen is a Law Knight who insists on managing the camp in Civilization manner, which makes him a target of covetousness in the Wasteland.

Having roughly understood the situation, Linsey pointed to the six people who had been knocked down and asked:

"I heard what they were saying just now."

"The trap you've fallen into appears to be a coordinated attack from within and without, which means there's a traitor within your camp?"

"So even if they are Wilderness Hunter, your camp is willing to accept them?"

Vivian replied immediately:

"My father said that if people commit evil deeds under difficult circumstances, they can be given a chance to start anew."

"..."

"Your father must have been a good man."

Linsey replied simply.

He does not deny the moral implications of this approach.

But can a good person survive in a place like this Wasteland...?

In this situation, the only hope lies in the awakened one's immense strength.

Not long after, two more figures appeared on the east side of the stone forest; they were Tie Yu and Kate from the group of refugees.

They came on Hammer's orders:

"Lord Linsey, what happened here?"

"And these people are..."

"Don't be nervous, the enemy has already been defeated." Linsey reassured the two tense-looking men, and casually took out a rope from his bag. "Here, tie them up, and we'll go back and rejoin the rest of the group."

The six Wilderness Hunter quickly finished their task.

The other four people from the Yarrow Camp received basic treatment. Two of them, who were seriously injured, were able to hold on thanks to their awakened nature, and their lives were basically not in danger.

After treating his companion's injuries, Bull also thanked Linsey sincerely.

During this process, Linsey recalled the previous battle, the will that erupted from the Essence the Bull, and the golden light that swirled around the sword.

Linsey was quite familiar with this; these were all iconic symbols of the Law Knight.

"Mr. Bull, are you a Law Knight?"

Bull nodded in agreement:

"That's right. Seven years ago, on Harvest Day, I was fortunate enough to awaken with Lord Yarrowen's help."

"Unfortunately, I am not talented enough and have only mastered the skill three times so far."

After answering the question, Bull rather proactively extended an invitation:

"Mr. Linsey, why don't you come and take a look at our camp?"

"In the process of rebuilding the world order, it will inevitably require the assistance of all kinds of powerful figures. Although it may be presumptuous, I hope you can go and see the situation there."

Linsey glanced at the map; these people were marked with friendly Green Marker.

"Of course you can go and take a look, and I will do my best to help."

"But staying there is probably not an option."

Bull looked somewhat disappointed, but he didn't press the matter.

The group reunited with the refugee caravan and set off again, continuing their journey due east.

On the way, Linsey easily noticed something subtle.

Hammer was standing next to him, was breathing a little faster and didn't talk to him as usual.

Linsey observed carefully.

The leader of the refugees lowered his gaze and frowned slightly, clearly considering the possibility of Yarrow Camp.

"Hammer, you're planning to lead everyone to join this camp, right?"

Hammer was seen through by Linsey at a glance.

For the next few weeks, he will follow Linsey's advice without question.

Being exposed like this, embarrassment and awkwardness welled up on his face, and his tone became unpleasant:

"Lord Linsey, as you know, I... I just want to help everyone continue to survive."

Linsey patted Hammer on the shoulder.

Although this middle-aged man appeared very snobbish, his ultimate goal was always to lead people to survive.

In a Wasteland like this, this is actually acceptable:

"Of course, no problem. Go and take a good look."

"I can also help you check it out. If there really are no problems, a camp with the protection of Law Knight and a stable ability to produce supplies is indeed better than going to some war-torn land to find a place to survive."

"..."

Hammer looked up, his eyes filled with gratitude.

But he quickly lowered his head again, too embarrassed to meet Linsey's gaze.

The location of the Yarrow Camp is not too far.

On the evening of the second day, Linsey and his companions saw the camp built by the Law Knight.

The camp was surrounded by a fence made of sharpened wooden stakes, with watchtowers erected every few dozen meters.

Some thin but energetic young men patrolled and guarded the area.

Upon seeing Bull in the group of refugees, some of them immediately rushed over:

"Vivian, Bull, are you alright?"

"You went to fetch the refugees, how did you get injured? Did you encounter some dangerous Devil Beast on the way?"
