Lant didn't notice at all that Albert, whom he respected the most, was getting farther and farther away from him conceptually. He also thought that Albert needed a long rest due to the frequent bumps and fatigue of the carriage and horse recently. Although Lant really wanted to stop for two days, they had already captured hundreds of monsters in the surrounding rivers, and it was obvious that the pasture could no longer support the large flock of sheep.
After returning from hunting, Lant called all the people in charge and asked to break camp the next day, and then went to deliver meat to the children.
Now the camp has a very fixed set of procedures for camp evacuation. First, the Fangs and Neil will conduct a large-scale reconnaissance, searching for medium and large barbarian camps along several rivers. After finding the target, Rant will lead the main force to storm or sneak attack the camp. Then the large troops in the camp moved to the new camp. During the relocation process, the demon-free people in each tent were responsible for their respective tents. Albert was no longer participating in the battle. He led the demon-supporters from the Baron of Galloping Horse to supervise the relocation of the entire camp. According to the tradition of the Lant camp, during every migration, the newly rescued human demon holders do not need to fight with Lant, but only need to assist in the camp migration.
Neil had just rescued 5 human demon-supporters this morning. According to Lant, he brought more than 40 cavalry and 5 ponies in exchange for them. Neil still remembered that the atmosphere at that time was very good. After hearing that they were not here to attack, Lao Maji showed great enthusiasm. He was so grateful for Lant's willingness to make a peaceful deal that he even followed Neil to Lant at noon. Thank you for the special trip to the camp. Rand also warmly welcomed Lao Maji and several barbarian cavalry who came with them, and even presented some gold coins, saying that if Lao Maji's tribe raised the foal he had exchanged, Lant was willing to buy it back.
"Are we really not going to eat this old horse's leg?" Neil asked Lant as he watched the old horse's leg leave.
"Of course not. He is the first tribal leader who obeyed me and sold me the slaves of Demon Holders. I am still waiting for him to tell other tribes on the plains about my power."
Among the five demon champions sent by Lao Ma Leg, there was a junior knight. Lant made an exception in the afternoon and took this junior knight Caffrey Sengster to hunt with him so that he could eat more monster meat as soon as possible. Restore physical strength and fighting spirit.
After the afternoon conversation, the new knight Caffrey Senster mentioned that before he was bought by Lao Mashan, he spent 2 years in a tribe called Eagle, one of the tribes. There is a battle priest who can share vision with the eagles and peregrine falcons raised in the tribe for a short time, becoming an eagle-eyed priest. Because of the priest's ability, this tribe has reached the size of the previous wandering badger tribe. Just a month ago, Caffrey followed Lao Mashan's tribe and had just conducted a transaction with the Eagle tribe. Therefore, Caffrey speculated that Lant's camp would definitely encounter them on the way eastward.
The Eagle Tribe also participates in the Gray Goose Tribe's alliance every year, but the Eagle Tribe is not interested in the trade of black scale horses. Instead, it is more interested in the trade of human demon-possessed slaves, because in medium-sized tribes, possessions often occur. The demons are escaping, so there will always be wandering human demons on the Galloping Horse Plains. The fighting priests of the Eagle Tribe like to fly their falcons and peregrine falcons on weekdays to dig out and capture lone or wandering human demon possessors.
There are more demon-wielding slaves in the Eagle tribe, and there is no doubt that the Eagle, which regards the slave trade as its main industry, will only regard Lant, who rescues the slaves, as an enemy. Nor could Rand purchase slaves from the Eagle Tribe or make peace with them. The Eagle's battle priest will become a troublesome opponent, because after departure, there will be a distance of about 10 kilometers between Neil's forward and Lant and the main camp. This distance is already sufficient for defending against the barbarian cavalry. There was enough warning time and strategic space, but facing the eagle eye in the sky, it was not enough.
Once ready for battle, the battle priest can easily use reconnaissance methods to avoid Neil and Rant's team and go straight to the main camp. And if Rand leaves too much power in the camp, the Eagle Tribe can escape quickly. Lant thought about using some strategies to let the Eagle divide its troops, but the most troublesome thing now is that he doesn't know whether the Eagle's battle priest has targeted him.
Even if the eagle only notices their own camp, it means they are alert.
After speculation by Lant, Neil and Caffrey, the eagle is about 50 kilometers east. Lant and the others should be able to encounter the eagle after they break camp next time, but they are afraid that the eagle will be discovered after they set up camp next time. Lant's camp.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
When the two suns rose into the sky, Neil set off with his 12 barbarian cavalry, and with Neil were the canine teeth. Lant marched east with his 20-man cavalry team. After last night's discussion, Lant asked Neil to inquire about the truth after seeing the medium-sized camp, especially asking if they had seen the Eagle Tribe. If they were sure they had not, he would ask if they could trade the human demon possessors.
Last night, Canuya also introduced that Xiao Butou could communicate with a puppy. After Canuya discovered Xiao Butou's ability, he decided to lend Xiao Butou Huangwei, an adult black Ao dog. Huangwei is Canuya's best friend. Dogs can even communicate spiritually. After last night's surprise training, Little Butou was also roughly familiar with Huang Tail's expression habits. Hound Tooth's idea was simple. He went out with Neil to conduct reconnaissance, with Yellow Tail acting as the liaison between Neil's cavalry team and Lant's cavalry team.
After hearing what Canine Tooth said, Lant was most curious about why Little Cloth and Canine Tooth could talk to animals. For this reason, he specifically asked Greyhound Gant.
"Our family's ability is engraved in our blood, sir." Greyhound Gant said with some pride.
"Then why does Little Butou also have this ability? Could he be Canine Ya's long-lost brother?"
"Hahaha, you are so funny. In fact, whether it is magicians, priests or knights, there are many families with such abilities. It is not uncommon for those who embrace beasts to speak animal language. The most rare thing about my family's bloodline is that it can be seen Out of the blood of livestock.”
Greyhound's answer was quite general. In the end, it was Albert who came over to explain, and Lant finally understood.
The ability to communicate with beasts is very common in the bloodline of human demon possessors. The reason is that before the rise of humans, the world was ruled by the gods of warcraft from all over the world for a long time. The God of Warcraft is a powerful Warcraft that relies on constant battles and devouring, and gradually becomes immortal by eating the blood of other powerful Warcraft. However, if the body is immortal alone, the monsters can only reach the level of demigods. These demigod monsters will occupy a certain territory and require the intelligent beings in the territory to offer sacrifices to them. Over the course of history, most of the orcs and humans gradually began to offer sacrifices to these powerful monsters and recognized their priesthood. The strongest among the demigod monsters were promoted to become gods of monsters.
For these Warcraft Gods, all kinds of extraordinary beings in the human race try to communicate with them or their descendants. Therefore, after continuous bloodline evolution, many families have the ability to communicate with mid- to low-level Warcraft or ordinary beasts. In the former Galloping Horse Kingdom, the long-term war with the orcs made this type of bloodline even more common. The Gant family where Greyhound and Canine Tooth belong is the family that has been raising canine monsters for the Galloping Horse Royal Family for generations. Their family is not only proficient in raising, communicating and driving animals, but more importantly, they are able to roughly identify the purity of Warcraft blood in ordinary animals, so they have been relied on by the Galloping Horse family for generations.
I understand, your family is a canine. Lant probably knows the bloodline of the greyhound knight family, "Then can your family communicate with the eagle?"
"It's more difficult to communicate with a parrot," Dogtooth replied.
