As the canine teeth continued to send back information, Lant took his main force and continued eastward and northward, with battles and annexations in between. Finally, on November 1, three days later, about 150 kilometers northeast of Yeqi City, A huge tribe was found in the southern part of the main branch of the Benma River.
The tribe in front of Lant is the true heritage of the Gray Goose Tribe. This tribe is located at the west exit of Gray Goose's Salt Mine Valley. The tent area at the core of the entire camp has been semi-fixed. There are a large number of alchemy living items in the main tents, and the ground has been fully constructed. The foundations and roads between the tents were leveled. Many wells were dug in the camp, and there were more than a dozen small tents similar to public toilets. There were special sewers inside. The sewers were not discharged into the Benma River, but into the Benma River. A dark pond is later used as fertilizer for surrounding fields and orchards.
Yes, there are even dozens of acres of fields around this tribe, but the fields are not planted with grains, but with alfalfa, beans and other pastures.
By the standards of Lant's hometown, this is basically a tent camp comparable to a city, with complete infrastructure, but tents are used as housing.
Now Lant had a large number of beasts of burden, as well as more demon-lovers who had worked as blacksmiths. He found Albert and several knights, modified the large carriage obtained from the Eagle Tribe, and added a magician's The eagle-eyed eagle statue and the 30-meter-high wooden pillars are directly fixed on the carriage. Usually the wood is divided into three sections and mounted on the carriage.
Once needed, the carriage's body is immediately carried by a wooden frame. Three 10-meter-long pillars will be connected to form a 30-meter-long wooden pillar, which will stand directly on the carriage. After wearing the Mage's Eye Mask, Rand can obtain 20 kilometers range of vision.
The sacred pillar of the Eagle Tribe became Rant's reconnaissance mast, and the 20-kilometer field of view allowed Rant to investigate the situation of the distant camp without any scruples.
After two days of observation, Lant determined that the super tribe in the distance should be the main body of the Gray Goose tribe, and the number of barbarian cavalry among them was probably close to Lant's existing cavalry.
Although Lant is bound to win this camp, Lant hopes to reduce his own losses as much as possible.
. . . . . .
At this moment, in the Gray Goose camp, the envoy from the southern leader is reporting to the Gray Goose priest about the leader's campaign in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Master Priest, our leader is not optimistic at the front. Although there are many of us, several of our prairie riders suffered losses when fighting Viscount Lot."
"That's natural." As a cleric similar to the human mid-level priest, the barbarian priest naturally knows that the close size cannot smooth the gap in fighting spirit and magic.
"How many riders do we have on the front lines right now?"
"We should have less than 300 cavalry."
"Well, it may be enough to deal with the old maned wolf, but if the dragon randomly sends some support, we will be in trouble."
"Master Priest, please immediately send a cavalry to us, and we will take it to support the leader."
The priest's face was heavy. There were now more than 30 human demon-wielding slaves in the camp. These slaves alone required the supervision of at least 40 riders. In this way, there were not many riders who could be sent to the front line.
"Forty people," the priest said, "any more, and the camp will be in danger!"
"But priest, we need more riders in front. There are too few people. If you think there are too many slaves, why don't you send them to the salt mines?"
"No, then the balance of the salt mine will be disrupted," the priest replied, but it was obvious that the messenger did not understand.
. . . . . .
In any case, three days later on November 6, the envoy took 40 barbarian cavalry south to support the leader of Gray Goose.
The messenger still held the Gray Goose flag that he had brought all the way. When he left Lot, he had only four brothers with him. Now he was followed by 50 cavalry.
However, when the messenger walked 20 kilometers with the reinforcements, he saw a strange camp. There was a tall sacred pillar in the camp, which seemed to be the Eagle Tribe; there were also groups of beasts of burden in the camp, which looked like There should be the Bull Tribe; in the middle of the camp, there is also a big tent. That weird tent is owned by only one family in the entire grassland, the former Wandering Badger Tribe and now the Galloping Horse Tribe.
The Galloping Horse, the Eagle, and the Bull were originally the three largest barbarian tribes on the southern plains after Gray Goose. Now that the three tribes were united, the Gray Goose envoy felt extremely uneasy.
Approaching with 50 cavalry, the envoy saw a group of riders at the entrance of the big camp, surrounding a priest covered in feathers, riding out to greet him. The priest had an eagle mask on his face and a feather crown on his head, coming towards him. .
Lant photographed the reconnaissance mast on the face of the barbarian camp, naturally for the purpose of warning. As soon as Lant saw the envoy going out with a group of cavalry, he had already asked the entire camp on the left and right to dispatch.
Now that Lant is close to an army of 30 knights and 100 cavalry, he has no fear of facing 50 barbarian cavalry. However, Lant hopes to take advantage of other barbarians' fear of the Eagle Priest, so he wears it on his own magic pattern armor. He wore a robe covered with feathers, and also wore Kansa's mask and hat.
For Rand, every capable tiger is one, and if it can reduce casualties, then reduce casualties.
Sure enough, when the Gray Goose messenger was still a hundred meters away from Lant, he dismounted with the cavalry behind him.
"Mr. Eagle Priest? Why are you here with people from other tribes?"
"I'll wait for you here." Lant asked several assistants left by the Eagle Priest, and said that the Eagle Priest usually spoke very little, but when he spoke he was very majestic.
That is pretending, and Lant is very aware of it mentally. This Eagle Priest has been working hard to maintain his persona, which is to make himself appear solemn and powerful, as if he is really favored by the gods. Therefore, Lant must also maintain a sense of mystery. feel.
"Waiting for us? Sir, do you agree to go south with the other tribes?" The barbarian envoy was confused.
"Wrong," Lant urged Liehuo, and Liehuo neighed, and the entire Lant's war horses moved forward almost at the same time.
"I came here specifically to find you," Lant said as the horses began to speed up.
The Gray Goose Messenger's heart was ringing with alarm. He had experienced many tribal conflicts, and he knew that the other side would definitely dismount and rush towards them, using their cavalry to suppress the infantry.
However, just as the envoy was about to mount his horse, a roar came from the leading war horse on the opposite side. The black-scaled horses on the envoy's side became restless and refused to cooperate with the cavalry in mounting.
The distance of 100 meters was reached in an instant for the black-scaled horse. The messenger who had just climbed onto the horse's back saw the blade that had already reached the door.
"I came here specifically to thank you for your guidance!" Lant raised his sword and chopped down the Gray Goose messenger. The other cavalrymen passed behind Lant to deal with many barbarians who had not had time to mount their horses.
The battle ended quickly. The reinforcements from the Gray Goose tribe had no time to prepare. Most of them had been killed by Lant's cavalry before they even had time to mount their horses.
