Since crossing over, unless attacking the barbarian tribe at night, Lant would wake up before dawn every day and then carry out some basic exercises. In Lant's memory, this was the original owner's homework every morning.
Every reserve knight in the territory will conduct morning exercises before the two suns rise. In the past, Lant's training included running warm-up, strength training, swordsmanship and archery training. In other parts of the human empire, training also included fighting spirit movement.
However, the magic turbulence on the Galloping Horse Plains is strong, and the accumulated fighting spirit is likely to be dispersed by the turbulence. Therefore, the junior and reserve knights in the Galloping Horse Territory and Lot Territory will not conduct fighting spirit training.
Lant's recent training has been with Rohr alone, not training with other knights, because Lant has to conduct fighting training every day.
After running and completing 5 rounds of swordsmanship practice, Lant consumed a magic crystal, absorbed the magic power in the magic crystal, and began to gather fighting spirit. He first made two charges, and then attached the fighting spirit to the sword blade for a round of slashing. Chop, block, then mount for a few minutes of riding training. A magic crystal was consumed, and Lant's fighting spirit training ended on time after 10 minutes.
This set of fighting spirit training was decided upon by Rohr, Albert and Lant after discussion. Now every afternoon, Lant will take Neil, Canine and others out to hunt. The junior monsters captured in the water can be fired every day. With one or two magic crystals, coupled with the recent capture of several camps, Lant now has nearly 50 magic crystals in reserve.
So now Lant buys 1 or 2 new magic crystals every day and consumes 1 old magic crystal to train his fighting spirit.
According to the usual view of the Imperial Knights, the level of the knight corresponds to the level of use of fighting spirit. For example, the standard for a junior knight is to be able to use fighting spirit moves, while the standard for an intermediate knight is to be proficient in using them or to be able to use them more than 5 times in a row. This standard corresponds to the fighting spirit moves. That is to say, as long as a knight can release the fighting spirit moves 5 times in a row, he is an intermediate knight.
For junior knights, even if they can suddenly gain a lot of fighting spirit, they will not be able to unleash their moves five times in a row without a certain level and proficiency.
From the perspective of level and use of fighting spirit, Lant can already be called an intermediate knight. What he lacks now is a stronger body, more fighting spirit, and recognition by nobles above the earl. The first two can be supplemented by Warcraft meat. , the latter could only wait until he returned to the Dragon Kingdom and asked Earl Maned Wolf to canonize him.
According to the regulations of the Holy Supreme Council of the Human Empire, junior knights and intermediate knights can be recognized and canonized by nobles above earl. Senior knights, sky knights and grand knights can only be canonized by principalities and kingdoms. Silver, sky and gold knights are awarded by the empire. Certification is carried out by the Quanxu Hall, and legend and above are certified by the Holy Supreme Council.
After completing the kryptonite training, Lant met Albert who had not rested all night. After chatting with Lant last night, Albert returned to his camp and spent the night reading books.
It is a "Legendary", which contains the names, priesthoods and introductions of all the gods, demigods and legends that humans have come into contact with since the establishment of the two human empires. Of course, most of them belong to good gods or ancient beast gods. A neutral god who has no particular ill will toward humans even though orcs are believers.
This book was issued by the church to lords above marquis, in order to allow human nobles to identify cult beliefs that are malicious to humans and prevent their territories from being targeted by evil gods.
However, Albert searched through the "Legends" and could not find anyone who had the same views as Lant. Albert could be sure that Lant's views were not those of an evil god or a demon, but they were not those of any of the records. A legendary view.
If it is similar, the most similar views are those of several early civilians in the Tower of Purity school who came from legendary backgrounds, but those views are far more radical and confrontational than Lant's.
"Uncle Albert, didn't you get a good rest?" Lant was very concerned about Albert, Rohr and other elderly people in the territory. "You must have been counting the long-haired sheep all night, right?"
People in this world don't have the habit of counting sheep while sleeping. Albert didn't understand Lant's bad joke, "I don't need to count those long-haired sheep. Lant, I think you have reached the level of an intermediate knight now." If you are good enough, you should save more magic crystals."
"Don't worry, we have 50 magic crystals now, which is enough for me. Neil will come back later and we will make the next plan."
. . . . . .
"Old Horse Legs, let me say it again, we are the patrol team of the Galloping Horse Tribe. We have a total of 12 cavalry, and our tribe has 50 cavalry." At this moment, Neil was talking with the leader of a medium-sized tribe.
"Our leader has said that he is willing to trade long-haired sheep or beasts of burden for the slaves of the Empire's Demon Holders in your hands.
If you change, we will be friends. If you need iron, salt or food in the future, you can come to us.
If we don't change, we will be the enemy. The 10 or so cavalry in your tribe now cannot withstand even one of our attacks! "
Neil now goes out with his patrol team every morning to scout the surrounding rivers to see which rivers may have Warcraft and which river banks have new barbarian tribes.
The tribe in front of me is what Neil discovered today. Judging from the scale, this is a medium-sized tribe, with less than 20 cavalry in the tribe. As the contact deepened, Neil recognized the leader of the tribe, Lao Majie, who was an acquaintance when they had an alliance.
Old Horse Leg looked at Neil nervously. He knew that what Neil said was true. He had seen several of the cavalry in Neil's patrol when they were in the alliance, and they all came from different tribes.
Now that these people can patrol together, it shows that there is a huge tribe equivalent to the size of Gray Goose, which has swallowed up these small and medium-sized tribes.
Old Horse Legs didn't know if the Gray Goose Tribe could compete with the Galloping Horse Tribe that Neil mentioned, but he certainly couldn't.
"Neal, these demon-wielding slaves in our tribe were all exchanged for black-scaled horses. Are you giving too little by using long-haired sheep or beasts of burden?"
"We can negotiate." Neil breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that as long as he could negotiate the price, he could directly exchange for these demon holders. More importantly, many of the cavalry in front of him were acquaintances from the alliance, and Neil didn't want to Draw your sword and face each other.
"We can discuss how to change it, but we all know that it's winter now, and you won't be able to survive if I change it to a foal."
"Neil, you don't have to worry about whether we can feed you or not. Just tell me whether you want to exchange for it? Five human slaves in exchange for five ponies."
"This..." Neil didn't dare to answer. The black-scaled horse was the tribe's most important asset, and he couldn't make the decision.
. . . . . . . .
"Swap! Swap with them!" Lant met Neil who came back from patrol during lunch. "Exchange 5 foals for 5 Demon Holders, why not trade them. These 5 ponies won't be able to be ridden this year, but in exchange for 5 people, they will be able to ride and fight tomorrow. Why not do such a cost-effective business!"
"Aren't we going to kill him directly?" Rohr asked.
"That's right. Let's kill them. We don't have to give a single pony to them. All they have is ours!"
"Our Benma Tribe is the master of the entire plain. As long as he agrees to exchange his demonic slaves with me, they and I will be friends. This is what we have agreed upon before. It cannot be said that the price is inappropriate, so I will go and rob them. .”
Lant said calmly, "You must remember that we will bring order and tranquility to the entire Galloping Horse Plains in the future. What is order is that everyone must follow the rules. I can't break the rules I set. "
"Yes!" No one expected that Lant would really want to control the entire plain. Now that Lant has proposed it, others can only implement it.
Of course, what Lant is talking about is just a matter of honor. The real reason is that a large number of herbivores gather, which will quickly consume the grassland. Lant's tribe now has to move frequently.
For Lant, what he hopes most now is that the number of demon-holders in the left or right camp will increase.
Attacking a medium-sized tribe can only obtain a few human demon-supporters. Unless the barbarian demon-supporters surrender, they will either be killed or run away. Lant can only receive a large number of demon-free people and livestock. Of course, these are also valuable, but For today's camp, it can only be a burden that needs to be divided and protected.
Lant didn't want to say it clearly. Although for the barbarian tribes, unnecessary demonless people were a burden, Lant felt that he was a decent person from a highly civilized area and needed to have a higher bottom line.
Nowadays, the total number of demon-free people in Lant's entire territory exceeds 700. Lant has high requirements for territory management and has many ideas, so he has to call the knight commander, Albert, all stewards, and groups 1 and 2 in the territory every three days. The craftsman representatives and teachers held a meeting together. Lant called the meeting a territorial joint meeting. During the meeting, everyone reported on the things they were responsible for. Then Lant mentioned his own ideas, and Neil said where a new station could be established.
If the housekeeper or craftsman who is executing the order encounters a problem, he can raise it during the meeting and Lant will give a solution or idea.
The joint meeting will not last long, and Rand is in a hurry to have lunch after the meeting.
There was no contact meeting today. Neil met a new tribe on patrol in the morning and came back late, so Lant chatted with Neil, Albert and others while eating.
"Tomorrow morning, you take 5 foals, call 30 cavalry and 10 knights to go with you, and ask him if he can exchange them immediately."
"If 40 people go together, it won't scare them to death." Neil laughed.
"Even" the others also booed.
"Take people there to let him know that Gray Goose is no longer the strongest on this plain. But we still have to exchange if we can. We must do it directly if possible. There are at least a dozen people on the opposite side, so we don't need to suffer casualties."
. . . . . . .
In the afternoon, Lant took Neil, Canine and several knight apprentices out hunting again.
Nowadays, Lant is consciously training a new generation of demon worshipers such as Canine Ya and Neil, taking them to hunt, sharing some of the demon beast meat with them, and training each other's combat skills. Rohr allows them to conduct individual swordsmanship training and find experienced ones. The barbarians taught them how to ride.
Older knights will miss their former families, while young demon-wielders value their current experiences more.
Neil took everyone to a river 5 kilometers away from the camp. There was a mudslide crocodile on the river bank. This low-level lizard-like monster was more dangerous than the swordfish in the river.
Mudflow crocodiles lurk on the river banks. This earth and water monster can control the nearby silt to cover itself and bury itself. Once a large creature passes by, the surrounding land can capture the prey and send it into the huge crocodile's mouth.
Mudslide crocodiles are one of the few stable sources of magic crystals on the Galloping Horse Plains. Mudslide crocodiles with a length of more than 4 meters basically have magic crystals in their magic cores.
Now Lant has a very mature method of hunting mudslide crocodiles. Mudslide crocodiles are always on the nearshore river beaches. Whether in the water or on the river beaches, it is difficult to deal with them.
However, once the mudslide crocodile leaves the river bank 20 meters away, the range it can control the nearby soil will be greatly shortened, and it can only affect the surrounding soil 1 meter.
Lant will first use a reed basket to catch swordfish in the water. Lant asked the non-magic people to weave many 2-meter-long thin baskets out of reeds. The openings of the baskets were less than half a meter in diameter and became thinner towards the bottom. There were some barbs at the bottom. Put a few pieces of monster meat at the bottom of the basket, then put the basket into the river and fix it in the river bed.
The swordfish that becomes a monster will not be shorter than 1 meter in length, and it is irresistible to the bloody taste of monster meat. Once the swordfish enters the depths of the basket, it will be difficult to turn around because the barbs at the bottom of the basket will get stuck on the fish body.
Of course, as a low-level monster, even if the swordfish is only the weakest monster, it is not an ordinary beast. Once you find a swordfish in a basket, you should bring the basket to the shore as soon as possible.
It is rare for a swordfish to produce a magic core, let alone a magic crystal. Fishing is done to serve as bait for mudslide crocodiles.
Of course, if you hunt more than 3, you will also bring a fish soup to the knights in the camp.
Tie the spear to two swordfish, find it near the mudslide crocodile, and pour the blood left over from the fish directly onto the land about 15 meters away from the crocodiles. The hungry mudslide crocodile will follow the blood and come ashore.
Then I saw two swordfish tied together. The crocodile consumes energy faster on land and feels more uneasy. After seeing it, he manipulated the surrounding soil without hesitation and sucked the fish and spear directly into his mouth, ready to eat. Just go back to the river.
Naturally, two spears cannot kill a 4-meter crocodile, but Lant will take advantage of the crocodile's power to release its magic and charge. With krypton crystal training, Lant can now easily charge.
Rant, who rushes to the crocodile, will use a special spear-the tip of the spear is a previously captured rune dagger, which can transmit Rant's fighting spirit. The spear will penetrate directly from the back of the crocodile's head.
The crocodile will instinctively roll over when attacked. Lant broke off the spearhead directly, left the dagger on the back of the crocodile's head, and turned away.
The mudflow crocodile that was pierced through the back of the head will die soon. The crocodile's skin, meat, and bones are all very valuable, not to mention the magic crystal. Without the magic crystal to replenish Lant, charging and stabbing all consumed his energy, so he needed crocodile meat as an afternoon snack.
