Chapter 221: Order has collapsed.
In the following period, almost every mountain, except those with large families or villages strong enough to protect themselves, became targets of robbery.
It no longer mattered if it was day or night; conflicts over food were constant, and many lost their lives because of it.
The Five Bucktooth Brothers were among the more ruthless ones, robbing a lot in a short time. To enhance their intimidation, they even recruited some lone men, yet that didn’t prevent them from being targets of robbery too.
