The Wandering Badger Tribe was extremely noisy at this time, and there were two auxiliary camps outside the main camp, which were responsible for taking care of the barbarian cavalry and male demonless men from several surrounding small tribes.
Every day, the tribe's cavalry patrols the surrounding area, inviting newly arrived tribe men to visit the badger tribe, which provides food, water and slaves.
The six neighboring tribes have all brought over demon-wielders and men.
The main camp of Badger is very large, bigger than anything Lant has seen before. It is more like a noble camp than a tent camp.
The central part of the main camp is separated by a circle of fence, and a special foundation is made of earth and stone below the main tent. The configuration of the tent was also unlike anything Lant had ever seen.
There are two types of ordinary barbarian tents. One is a relatively small pointed tent. Although the highest point of such a tent is higher than the height of the demon holder, the overall space is small, with a circular cross-section and a triangular vertical section.
The demon possessor can usually only stand up in the center of the tent.
But the good thing is that this tent is easy to fold and take with you in no time.
The second type is the Bedouin tent in Lant's hometown. It was this kind of tent that Lant took with him when he came out of the territory and was the barbarian camp that Lant first attacked.
This kind of tent is supported by multiple brackets. It is very spacious inside and can accommodate a barbarian of about 2.3 meters. It also covers a large area.
Tribes with such tents are basically small and medium-sized tribes, and they will have magic-sealing boxes and other equipment.
There is also a kind of tent tent that was only seen in the medium-sized camp that was attacked last time. It is a round tent similar to a round bag. It has a very large space, but it requires a lot of wood frames and animal skins. Only a small and medium-sized tribe can afford it.
Now, the most important tent in this tribe not only has a foundation underground, but the part above the ground is 8 or 9 meters high. The lower part of the tent is similar to a round bag, formed into a circle, and the upper part has A huge spire, seen from a distance, this tent can accommodate at least 30 barbarians. It can be said to be the most luxurious tent that Lant has ever seen.
In addition to this main tent, there are 5 round tents surrounding the main tent, and the fence in the core area is outside. Outside the fence are the camp's 7 or 8 Bedouin tents and a dozen top tents. These were the tents of the other barbarians in the camp.
These tents, together with a large number of horses, pack animals, sheep, and poultry, were surrounded by a second layer of fence and became the main body of the badger tribe's camp.
There is a piece of flat land outside this camp, and on both sides are auxiliary camps where the demon possessors and men of various small tribes live.
At this moment, the leader of the Badger, Black Eyed Badger, was inside the main tent, looking at the huge mound to the south.
Although Lant didn't know what it was, the leader of the Black Eyed Wandering Badger knew that it was the ruins of the former Ye Qi City, the center of the former Galloping Horse Plains, and a huge urban ruins that were rebuilt with the personal participation of the Emperor of the Empire of Man. .
The Badger Leader's mother is from the human race, and his father is a tribal leader from the previous generation.
A few years ago, Heitong met a human demon-supporter, an ascetic monk on the Galloping Horse Plains. Ascetic monks are a type of clergy, but they are willing to spread their faith in the most difficult places, and also Able to be content with poverty and travel from place to place to heal others.
This ascetic earned the respect of the barbarians for his willingness to heal everyone, including barbarians, non-demon people, and human slaves.
Heitong once met an ascetic monk in the tribe. He told Heitong that this land was once a human kingdom, and the ruins in the distance were the ruins of the capital.
From then on, Heitong liked to take advantage of the opportunity of the tribe to be stationed nearby to explore the ruins. Several independent explorations yielded no results.
Until Heitong·Wandering Badger had an unexpected encounter and followed another warrior from the tribe into the ruins, Heitong became obsessed with this ruins.
It is too big and beautiful. On the highest mound, there are huge architectural ruins. The ground inside is still covered with floor tiles made of unknown methods, and the huge pillars have faintly glowing lines.
From that moment on, Heitong knew that his destiny was to lead the tribe here.
Eight years ago, several people from the tribe followed Gray Goose to the south. Except for their father, who died in the south, everyone else came back.
Black Eyes·Wandering Badger knew that his time had come. Black Eyes, who had been taller since he was a child, successfully defeated all opponents and became the leader of the tribe.
Previously, this tribe was no different from other medium-sized tribes. There was a round tent, 4 or 5 human demon possessor slaves in the camp, and 2 small tribes surrounding the tribe as vassals.
In the second year after Heitong became the leader, the Gray Goose tribe invited him to participate in the alliance. The location was just outside Yeqi City, the only place where there was a large area of flat land.
At that alliance, the Gray Goose leader informed several medium-sized tribe leaders that he could trade with the human race.
From then on, Black Eyes knew that the Gray Goose leader was planning to buy black scale horses on a large scale.
Then Badger led his tribe to collect black-scaled horses from east to west of the Galloping Horse Plains every year.
In the year just after the alliance ended, each small tribe did not breed black scale horses very much, so in the first year, he would help the small tribes breed, guide the small tribes how to raise horses, and even find human demon worshipers to shoe the horses of the small tribes. .
It seems that Heitong's first year was spent following different tribes in exchanges with no profit. However, it was all worth it, because all Heitong's efforts were just investments.
In the following three years, Wandering Badger established good relations with many small tribes and was able to purchase a large number of black-scaled horses, becoming Gray Goose's largest supplier of black-scaled horses.
The active supply of Badgers has greatly reduced the acquisition costs of the Gray Goose tribe. For this reason, Gray Goose reciprocated and gave Badgers huge discounts on human products such as rune boards and wood. Badgers used the purchased goods in exchange for the West Brown Bear Tribe Iron Ingot.
The Gray Goose Tribe obtained the iron ingots and used the human Demon Holder Knights to build the iron armor in the salt mine.
Part of Gray Goose's iron armor was sold to Viscount Roth, and the other part was sold to Badger at a discount. The Badger tribe continued to use the armor to exchange for black-scaled horses among smaller tribes.
In just a few years, Gray Goose, the main controller of the southern part of Galloping Horse, and secondary suppliers like Badger have formed a stable business division of labor and industrial upgrading, and the tribal strength has also improved year after year.
Gray geese and wandering badgers have become the biggest beneficiaries of the export of Benma Plains to the Dragon Kingdom. Gray geese have a decisive influence on the entire south of Benma River.
The population of the Badger Territory has tripled in seven years, and the extra population has become an affiliated tribe according to tradition. The main camp has luxurious tents and more than ten human demon embracers.
During the alliance meeting this fall, the leader of Gray Goose told Black Eye that he would go south in the winter and invited Black Eye to join him in sending troops. Heitong felt that the opportunity had come, and he used various means to send the main barbarians from the surrounding small tribes to Gray Yan.
He was supposed to go together, but he "accidentally" fell into the Benma River and caught a cold.
Black Eyes is very similar to the Gray Goose leader. They are both very ambitious people. There are many human demons in the salt mine of the Gray Goose leader. These human slaves make the Gray Goose leader often think that he can also become a great lord of the human race. ;
Heitong's ambition is different from that of the Gray Goose leader. He believes that the excavation of the Yeqi City ruins is the most important. In addition to serving Gray Goose to accumulate strength over the years, he is also paying attention to Gray Goose's actions.
Heitong's heart was filled with joy when he heard that the gray geese were heading south. Now he believes that facing the strong human race, the Gray Goose tribe will only be crushed.
Once Gray Goose is gone, his time as a badger has arrived. Now that Gray Goose has taken away a large number of new troops from small tribes, what he needs to do first is to quickly increase his strength, and then lead the small tribes to take down the salt mine. The third step is to take the human demon wielders in the salt mine to explore the night. Qicheng ruins.
The power of Gray Goose near the salt mine has long been seen by Heitong. He has already calculated how many barbarian cavalry are needed to be sure of success.
For this reason, he prepared food and long-haired sheep in advance. The first step for the rise of wandering badgers was to annex the surrounding small tribes. Whether they were separated or passing by, they would tie them all around the camp. Black Tong thought Well, we must use strong methods to merge these tribes with our own tribe.
Once he has a cavalry team of more than 40 people, the Badger can easily annex all the medium-sized tribes and rush straight to the salt mines.
All the details of the plan have been repeated many times in Heitong's mind. Today is the first day of the rise of Wandering Badger.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
The Badger tribe is very hospitable and slaughters sheep every day just for the surrounding tribes. This is one of Heitong's methods. After breakfast today, all the demon-supporting tribesmen will gather in the open space in front of the camp. Black Eyed Badger wants to propose a merger plan to all tribes.
Facing dozens of barbarian demon-husbands, Black Eyed Wandering Badger loudly announced, "Dear leaders, I received a letter from Chief Gray Goose. He asked me to take everyone south to spend the winter on the territory of the human race."
A group of barbarians, you look at me, I look at you, there are cavalry from each tribe going to join the alliance.
But when I left, I didn't say that I was going to human territory. Everyone was very confused. Now the most important combat force in their tribe is not here, and they are trapped here. Even if they are responsible for food, drink and entertainment, the time is too long. No one can stand it anymore.
"Lord Wandering Badger, we have all sent our troops to the south. Now those of us who are left behind are older and younger than the young men before. We can't even carry a knife.
Let's not mix it up. "
"yes"
"We are too young to be beaten any more."
"Yes, we can't go"
Of course Heitong knew the little Jiujiu in the hearts of these barbarians, and deliberately asked loudly, "How could it be? Aren't you all elites in your respective tribes? How can you be unable to defeat them?"
"Lord Wandering Badger, you don't know that although we haven't had any wars in recent years, the population has increased, and the consumption of other people eating horse chews has also increased! We old people usually don't dare to eat enough, so we have to give up food to Those boys"
"That's right"
“We usually don’t dare to eat too much.”
"Really, if it weren't for the Zanyou Badger Tribe's treat, how could we dare to eat freely?"
All the barbarians were chirping in agreement, and no one wanted to go to the human territory. They hope to live a peaceful life of grazing on the Benma Plain.
"It seems that everyone in the tribe is having a very difficult time," Heitong said hypocritically, "How about this, can I help everyone?"
"Okay, Mr. Badger is going to lend us food?" Several elders in the tribe began to wonder.
"Hey, what kind of help is that? Let me tell you, if everyone moves the camp here, we will all be taken care of."
"Ah?" Everyone made a noise. Everyone knew what Heitong meant. He wanted to devour other tribes.
"That's what I have to say," one of the trustees stiffly agreed with Badger's suggestion. "We are all a small tribe, so naturally we cannot compare with Gray Goose. If we want to fight the winter, we need to unite!"
No one wants to take over at all, but trust always has to be trustworthy.
"Everyone, if we really get together, there must be an alliance leader. I suggest you ask the leader of the Badger Tribe to be our alliance leader?"
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
The strong should receive extra respect. This is Alivia's general rule. For the barbarians, strength is everything.
If there was a disagreement among the barbarians, they were willing to settle the matter in a duel. For example, now, two barbarian tribe elders who disagree with the merger are already lying on the ground.
Although Heitong is now wearing rune armor and the two elders are only wearing civilian clothes, no one will doubt the outcome of this duel. Since no one raised a new challenge, it means that everyone agreed to the merger.
Just as Heitong looked around, he found that his patrol had brought back a group of people.
It was a group of people that Heitong had never seen before. They wore the same clothes, the same hats, and rode the same horses as themselves.
However, they looked very strange. Heitong had never seen these people in many alliances, and these strangers could not stop his plan.
"Welcome to the Badger Camp. All of us have just decided to form a new alliance. The Badger Tribe will provide food for everyone. Please move your camps here now."
"New alliance? Moving camp?" The visitor was obviously very surprised.
"Yes, new members, you have also entered the alliance meeting, and you should abide by the alliance's decision," Heitong said proudly.
"Who is the leader?" said another person.
"Everyone has decided that I will be the leader!"
"Are you so immodest?"
"If the new members have objections, they can propose a duel, just like the two of them." As he said this, he spread his hands and looked at the two corpses in the venue.
"Okay," the visitor said and rode forward.
"You" Although Heitong used armor to attack the elders without armor in the duel just now. But now he faced his opponent on horseback on foot and still had to protest.
However, the visitor didn't give any response. He just rushed over on horseback, with his sword raised and lowered.
