Three bright moons in the sky shone on the earth, and the bonfires in the camp were bright and dazzling. The cheers of more than 600 people resounded throughout the earth. Amidst the laughter and laughter of the people, Albert was trying hard to hide the shock in his heart.
"No matter who he is, he must not be Lant Galloping Horse," this is Albert's only thought now. "Yes, Lant must have been taken into a container by someone extraordinary or divine."
Unifying the barbarians of the entire galloping horse plain was an idea that no human noble could come up with, let alone the fourth son of the baron in front of him.
Albert had once heard about the differences between humans, orcs, and barbarians in the imperial capital. The first strong man of the human race chose to use magic to express "skills" to become a saint himself;
The orcs choose to use magic to strengthen their bodies to make their bodies closer to the ancient beast gods they believe in. Almost all orcs are demon holders, but 80% of them have only slightly strengthened their bodies, and are even stronger than the level 0 demon holders of the human race. or lower.
However, once the orcs inspire the blood of the beast god, they will become more and more like the beast god they believe in. The lowest level may appear to have grown animal ears and animal hooves; the more recent ones may be human, but covered with animal hair, like The most powerful ones have human faces and beast bodies; after birth, they only have the shape of beasts and no trace of human beings, but their mental and physical abilities are far stronger than those of high-level humans. These most powerful ones are called the beast gods' favored ones among the orcs. , when they fight, their bodies will expand several times, completely resembling beast gods, and their power will be comparable to legends.
If orcs are people who have been strengthened by magic to make their bodies closer to the beast gods, then the barbarians are the descendants of the most special combination of humans and orcs. This most special orc believes in the human god.
In Alivia's world, the body shape and rank of powerful people correspond to each other. It is normal for legendary strong people to be over 6 or 7 meters tall. Once they reach the divine level, it is equivalent to part of the divine zone being in the present world and part having been promoted to high dimensions. .
During the battle between the strong humans and the orcs, a considerable number of the orcs converted to the human god. Their bodies were still in ordinary human form, but their bloodline absorbed magic power to strengthen themselves and make their bodies stronger.
It is no longer possible to know which old human god the barbarians believe in. We only know that among the official temple alliances of the human empire, there are no gods believed by these barbarians.
Due to the common factors of blood and faith, the two countries that know the barbarians best among the human race: Kirislav and the Dragon Kingdom, regard the barbarians as heretics and enemies, and no nobles dare to make peace with the barbarians.
This is something that every noble family in the two countries must constantly emphasize and educate their heirs.
But tonight's Lant not only ignored the tradition of the dragon, but even proposed to unify the entire Galloping Horse Plain. Lant's unification of the Galloping Horse Plain is definitely not to expel the barbarians, but to accommodate the barbarians.
His idea can be said to be unique among the human race. Could it be that Lant was used as a container by the great ancient man believed by the barbarians?
Doesn't that mean that his former nephew has disappeared? And now the rand will soon become a legend?
At this moment, Albert was extremely conflicted. He didn't know if Lant was still his nephew, and he didn't know what plans Lant had now.
He didn't even know whether he should stop or remind Lant, because the existence of the divine level or even the legendary level was too powerful, and Albert was afraid that the hundreds of years of hard work of the Galloping Horse family would be abandoned like a piece of grass in front of this existence.
. . . . . . . . . .
The roaring and singing outside the main tent continued, and Neil's mother, Makoto Frostwolf, was invited into Lant's tent.
Just now, Makoto was discovered by Lant. She is a smart woman. Lant didn't care why the Demon-free could inherit the family name, but he was very interested in Makoto at the moment.
So after the singing session, he brought Makoto and Neil into his tent. Albert expressed interest and followed them in.
"First of all, I want to thank you for being able to lead the cavalry to sing together just now." This is Lant's sincere gratitude.
Without Makoto's words, the silence would have been easier to handle. If someone laughed or made inappropriate noises, Rand's prestige would be greatly reduced.
"Sir, you are too kind. You are willing to train Neil. I can't repay you." When Lant asked Neil to go out on patrol for the first time, Makoto guessed that Lant was deliberately training him and asked Neil to find it on his own. Team, go out for investigation to accumulate experience and credit.
In the afternoon, Lant asked Neil to sing and eat World of Warcraft meat. His intention became more obvious. No matter what Lant wanted Neil to do in the end, it was undoubtedly a new way to make Neil stronger.
In her heart, Makoto has always regarded herself as a dragon human. Although she cannot inherit the surname in the family, after Makoto and her brother were robbed on the Galloping Horse Plains, Makoto has been emphasizing the surname of her Frostwolf family.
He always hoped that his family could save him, but after a year of wandering around, he was sold to the Badger Tribe. At that time, Makoto was just 14 years old and was spotted by a big man in the tribe. Not long after, he had Neil.
During the more than ten years that Neil was growing up, Neil's father was very kind to Makoto, not only because women who can give birth to demon-bearers will gain the goodwill of the barbarians, but also because Neil's barbarian father admired Makoto's foresight and judgment, so In the past ten years, Makoto has lived a fairly dignified life in the Badger Tribe.
But even so, Makoto has never regarded the Badger Tribe as her home, because she knows that the tribe in front of her will sooner or later be annexed by a larger tribe, and then split into several small tribes, and then continue to be annexed.
This is the normal state of the barbarian tribes on the Benma Plain. At the turn of every spring and autumn, Makoto has to worry about himself and Neil losing their lives in tribal conflicts.
Until Lant ate the Badger Tribe, and from the moment Lant divided the camp into the left camp and the right camp, Makoto had guessed that this so-called leader of the galloping horse was a human race.
Until Lant organized everyone to have dinner together at night, Makoto became even more sure that Lant was definitely not an ordinary barbarian leader.
Although the barbarian tribe has a small population, it is highly hierarchical. The barbarian leader regards himself as God's favored one and usually does not eat with other people in the tribe.
But Makoto couldn't believe that a human noble could really own a barbarian team.
As a prominent family in the Dragon Kingdom, Makoto had heard more than once when she was a child that those nobles who had good intentions to accommodate the barbarians were eventually betrayed by their subordinates, resulting in the separation of their wives and even their heads.
"Sir? Do you really want to tolerate a barbarian tribe in the camp?" Makoto couldn't help but asked his doubts.
"It's not tolerance, it's development." Lant expressed his thoughts. "It's a fact that barbarians live on the Galloping Horse Plains. I can't ignore this fact and become king, nor can I expel or kill every barbarian.
Isn't it, Neil's mother? "
"Of course, but none of the human nobles who accommodated the barbarians would end well."
"Okay, but I am the leader of a barbarian tribe. Have you forgotten? I am the leader of the Galloping Horse Tribe."
"You are not a human noble?"
“I am the acting baron of the Galloping Horse Baron in the Dragon Kingdom, and in the future I will be the human lord of all the people in Zuoying, but this does not prevent me from also being the clan leader of the Galloping Horse Tribe.
I will not only protect my human subjects like other human lords, but also lead the barbarian cavalry like the barbarian leader. I want to bring order to this plain. "
"How is this possible? Do you want barbarians to live in castles? Or do you want humans to live in tribes?"
"Why can't the barbarians continue to be nomadic and the humans live in castles?"
"What?" The person who asked was Albert.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? The hillside to the south is Yeqi City. Although the Benma Plain is very large, there are only a few places that are truly suitable for cities. After these places become cities, there will still be large areas of grassland.
Grazing can continue on these grasslands. Every winter, the nomadic tribes can drive their livestock to the animal pens near the city. The humans in the city can make meat products from the livestock that are difficult to survive the winter or have been slaughtered, and exchange the tribal livestock for become wealth. "
"But sir, do all these people, including people in cities and tribes, eat meat?" Makoto asked.
"No, we need to eat grain. Just exchange it for grain from the south. There are salt mines, iron mines, meat, and black-scaled horses on the Galloping Horse Plain. How can we not buy grain for such high...expensive products? "Rand originally wanted to use high value-added minerals for low value-added grain, but he changed his mind when he said it.
Of course, Rand is not a whim, because before Benma destroyed the country, the policy of mining minerals in exchange for food was adopted, and salt, iron, etc. were exchanged for food from the southern kingdom every year.
Now there was silence in the tent again. Makoto couldn't think of how to refute, while Albert was thinking about the future described by Lant and the true purpose of the person "behind" Lant.
"By integrating the barbarians and humans, we can make better use of the pastures and minerals on the plains. The human cities can become centers for mineral processing. The barbarian cavalry can defend the cities and continue to raise livestock and provide meat." Lan After Tetsu drew a perfect vision, he looked at Makoto again
"Makoto, I need you as a territory clerk."
"I?"
"Yes, you can read, right?"
"Of course, but how did you know?"
"It's very simple. Your knowledge exceeds what experience can provide. The extra knowledge should be provided by books."
"Thank you for the compliment, I do enjoy reading."
"I need a clerk who can understand the thinking of the barbarians to help me deal with the barbarian affairs. I will reuse Neil in the future, so you are the most suitable candidate!"
"Thank you for your kindness, I will fulfill my mission."
. . . . . . . . .
Neil really lived up to Lant's love, first after several days of assault training and supplementing with Warcraft meat.
Swordsmanship teacher Rohr felt that Neil could now handle the attacks of intermediate knights and steadily suppress ordinary low-level knights.
Then Lant took Neil, Greyhound, and Canine to hunt in the north and west. With the cooperation of several people, he killed several low-level quagmire crocodiles and many swordfish, especially near the main stream of the Galloping Horse River. Densely covered, water-type monsters are relatively abundant. Warcraft meat can improve the physical fitness and magic power reserves of yourself, Canine and Neil.
Neil is indeed a barbarian, but Lant has tried several times to let his fighting spirit flow along Neil's body.
Neil's feelings about fighting spirit are not much different from Rant's. This makes Rant wonder whether Neil's barbarian was in a state of change when he was young and could change through nutrition and training. Make improvements.
If this is really the case, it means that Lant can develop more human-type demon-supporters for himself among the barbarians.
As Neil became stronger and stronger, Lant's song was sung by the barbarians, and more and more barbarian cavalry were willing to join Neil's banner. Neil's maximum number of cavalry patrols at one time was 25.
Soon, Neil brought the first small tribe to surrender. This tribe only had 6 barbarian cavalry. They saw Neil leading more than 20 cavalry, heard Neil singing "his ancestors", and then He sent a barbarian warrior to have a fight with Neil, and finally decided to join the Galloping Horse tribe.
Then there was a small tribe, which was not only willing to exchange the tribe's human demon slaves for three long-haired sheep, but was also willing to join the Galloping Horse tribe.
After a few days of performance, Neil is undoubtedly the most dazzling new star in the right camp.
Lant announced Neil as the vanguard during a group dinner, and appointed 12 of Neil's best barbarian youths as his subordinates, and asked Neil to lead his cavalry as a camp for reconnaissance and security.
At the same time, he announced that in the future he would provide public services such as blacksmithing, purchasing long-haired sheep, providing stud horses, and exchanging grain for the surrounding small tribes.
The next day, October 10, 996, Lant set out again. Neil led the vanguard battalion of 12 cavalry in the front, Lant led 14 knights, reserve knights, and human demon warriors in the rear, and Abel led the army. He led other demon-lovers to escort the left and right camps at the end and set off eastward.
At this moment, Lant's main force has 1 mid-level knight, 5 junior low-level knights, 5 reserve knights and 4 demon wielders, and everyone is wearing armor. Even in the various viscount territories of the dragon, it can be regarded as a neat team. Team.
At this moment, Lant was full of confidence. When he first came out of the Cornico Pass, he thought about how to survive in the territory and disguised it as a small and medium-sized barbarian camp. When he just captured the two camps, he thought about calling it a day. Returned to the South as a wealthy baron; now he had a cavalry in his left hand and a cavalry in his right.
He was even thinking about whether he could make another wave, and finally rely on his own strength to attack Gray Goose's camp head-on, and truly become the strongest existence south of the Benma River.
Neil was extremely excited at this moment, and the team kept singing "ancestors, fathers". Neil knew that his leader could definitely win over the small and medium-sized tribes around him, and even touch the edge of the salt mine.
Neil's only regret now is that his mother, Frostwolf, cannot see him all the time. He can neither ask her for her opinion at any time, nor let her see the majestic look he looks like when leading troops.
