I built a manor in the Middle Ages

Chapter 40: One Man Captures Two Sheep
Ryan took the rope and quietly went around the back of the mountain, taking every step very carefully so as not to be noticed by the goats.

After waiting for a while, calculating that Ryan should be in position, Luc released the dog's grip on Charlie's head and pointed at the leading sheep, saying, "Go!"

Raise a dog for a thousand days, use a dog for a while.

Little Charlie, who had been training for half a year, stood up instantly. His originally crawling body was like an arrow shot from a string, whooshing and flying towards the head sheep!
The speed was so fast that afterimages almost appeared.

"BAA Baa baa!!"

As soon as Little Charlie appeared, the head sheep, who was grazing, immediately raised his head and let out a thick and loud cry.
It is highly alert and is worthy of being the leader of the flock. The surrounding goats stand up one after another at the call, the lambs crawl under the ewes, and the ewes move closer to the head sheep, as if waiting for the leader's order.

Perhaps it was because he had awakened the blood of his ancestors, little Charlie learned on his own and did not pounce on any sheep. Instead, he ran in a roundabout way in the opposite direction of Luke and the others. In the arc of his running, the goats retreated one after another, directly blocking the sheep's retreat.

Luc saw this scene and raised his fist in the bushes. Little Charlie is really a natural hunting dog!

However, during this period of time, the leader sheep also noticed something. Just as Luc expected, when the leader sheep with thick horns saw that there was only little Charlie and a dog, he immediately stopped trying to escape, walked out of the flock, lowered his head in the direction of little Charlie, dug the ground with his hind hooves, and then charged directly at little Charlie!

The head sheep is usually fierce. It is the guard and leader of the entire flock. It needs to stand up to protect the flock when necessary. Of course, when it is not necessary, such as when there are a large number of invaders, it will take the lead in running away.

The lead sheep charged down the hillside, its horns coiled on its head breaking through the mountain wind, and soon rushed to little Charlie. Before the two were about to collide, little Charlie jumped and nimbly avoided the attack.

The weapon of a canine is its sharp teeth. As it jumped away, it turned its head and bit the neck of the leader sheep. However, the leader sheep reacted quickly and turned its head almost at the same time as little Charlie turned around, so that it was level with him.

Little Charlie, who failed, was not discouraged. He moved left and right to look for a breakthrough. The leader sheep also kept moving sideways, hoping to drive away the invader through confrontation.

The goats are taller than little Charlie, but they can never defeat the wild beasts. All they can do is make them give up.

Wild animals are very realistic and will often retreat naturally at this time.

Too bad little Charlie isn't a wild animal.

Ryan, who had been staring at the hillside, saw the leading sheep in a stalemate and instantly stood up and said, "It's my turn!"

Thanks to Charlie's previous drive, the rest of the sheep gathered in one place, very close to Ryan. Ryan gripped the rope tightly, took a step, jumped out of the grass, and in the blink of an eye he was less than ten meters away from a lamb.
Ryan's sudden appearance caused the flock of sheep to go crazy. They were originally waiting for the leader to drive away the invader, but when they saw Ryan, they immediately fled in all directions, and the bleating sounds were endless.

Ryan ignored the escaping ewe and rushed straight towards a lamb that was running around in fear. The rope in his hand came loose and he was about to tie the lamb up and take it away. At this moment, a ewe swimming upstream suddenly appeared and bumped into Ryan without hesitation.

Ryan didn't have the skills of little Charlie, and he barely avoided the collision. The ewe was so eager to protect her cubs that she kept bumping into him. Every time Ryan moved to the left, the ewe would bump into him, and every time he retreated, the ewe would bump into him, which made Ryan very depressed.

He grabbed the other sheep's horns, exerted force with both arms, twisted his body and threw the ewe out. Luke's order was to try to catch it alive, so Ryan could only use the rope as a whip. After throwing the ewe out, he whipped it. The burning pain made the ewe scream constantly, but it refused to leave and kept pestering Ryan.

The lamb next to it was either scared silly or just born not long ago. It didn't understand the purpose of the ewe's action and stood there stupidly, bleating.

"Damn it!" Ryan, who was beating the ewe, suddenly felt a pain in his butt. Without waiting to turn around, he saw another ewe that had turned back at some point hit his hip with a headbutt. Ryan's center of gravity fell backwards instantly, and with a snap, he actually sat on the ewe.

"damn it!"

Ryan took advantage of the situation and clamped the ewe's head with his legs. He straightened his waist and punched the top of the ewe's head with two fists. Ryan, who was aroused, tied the rope around the ewe's head and pulled hard. Amid the ewe's painful howls, he pressed the ewe to the ground.

At this time, the ewe yelled and rushed towards Ryan again. Ryan pressed the ewe's belly with his left knee, turned sideways to avoid the attack, then grabbed the horns with both hands, hooked the ewe's front hoof with his right leg, and used all his strength. With a bang, the female goat weighing more than 100 pounds was actually flipped over by Ryan!
Holding one with each hand, Ryan lay on top of the two struggling ewes, using all his strength to scream in the direction of Luke:

"Master, I can't hold on any longer!!"

Bushes, shade of trees.

Ryan's shouts and little Charlie's roars kept coming to my ears.

Luc had already stood up, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at the leader sheep who heard the chaos of the flock and wanted to escape but was stuck by little Charlie.
Luc, who had missed his archery several times before, now released the bowstring at a distance of two hundred feet. The arrow flew across the sky and pierced the goat's eye!

Blood gushed out from the head of the leader sheep, who screamed in pain and jumped around. Little Charlie took the opportunity to jump up and bite the leader sheep's throat tightly. Soon the leader sheep's voice became weaker, and it fell to the ground, twitching.

After hitting the target with an arrow, Luc, who had no time to experience the joy of success, ran towards Ryan. Just when Ryan was about to lose control of the two ewes, he kicked a ewe that wanted to get up, quickly took out another rope from behind, tied it up in two or three strokes, and then tied it to a big tree.

Repeating the same action to kill the second ewe, Ryan finally plopped down on the grass after being liberated.

"Phew~ I'm so tired!"

"Master, it's a good thing you came in time, otherwise the two sheep would have run away."

Luke untied the deerskin water bag from his waist, threw it to Ryan, turned around and picked up the two frightened lambs, and said with a smile:
"This time, thanks to you. I didn't expect you to be so strong and hold down two sheep for so long. I'll give you a big leg of lamb when we get back!"

Luc was surprised by Ryan's performance. In the past, they always worked together with tools, and it was hard to tell how much strength he had. This time, he discovered that Ryan had amazing arm strength.

"We captured two ewes and lambs. That's more than we expected. Ryan, you and little Charlie stay here to watch over the ewes and lambs. I'll carry the lead sheep back first!"

Little Charlie was very useful. He bit the head sheep to death and did not eat it without Luc's order. Instead, he squatted aside and guarded the corpse.

Ryan stretched out his limbs, looking at the blue sky and feeling the sweat on his head being blown away by the breeze. Hearing Luc's words, he called little Charlie to his side, picked up the two lambs and walked towards the ewe.

Luc used a knife to drain the blood of the head sheep, then carried it back to the cabin.

Around the afternoon, Luc and Ryan dragged two ewes and a full basket of turnips back home.
