"Yes!" Anglu leaped onto the horse's back and galloped toward the direction where Samukin should appear.
The once peaceful forest was now in complete turmoil.
Deer, roe, rabbits, foxes, wild beasts panicked and fled in terror, their cries incessant.
Anglu's heart couldn't bear it; he suddenly thought that before humans arrived in this forest, these animals might have been living here for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Just like this herd of deer, their history of settlement here was perhaps much longer than that of humans.

As he rode, Anglu thought about this and felt a wave of sadness wash over him.
"Is this the right thing to do?" he wondered.

The soldiers were eating the less desirable parts of the deer, such as the organs.
