During the remaining time, Pierre encountered a variety of Herders.
Those who came to seek Batu's judgments were just a part of them.
In addition, there were those who came to petition, to complain, and to express grievances.
There were runaway slaves who had fled alone to the Newly Reclaimed Outlands, but whose families remained in their original tribes, pleading for Batu to redeem their families;
There were brothers whose father had died, requesting Batu to divide the inheritance and also determine who the stepmother should belong to;
There was even an elderly widow who had lost her only livestock and couldn't survive—seeing the old man sobbing uncontrollably, Pierre couldn't help but feel a strange sense of familiarity.
After half a day of this, Pierre was exhausted and thirsty just from sitting and listening, feeling both weary and annoyed.
In contrast, Winters Montagne remained spirited and dignified throughout.
