Dabanya is the leader of the Timber Tribe. Their tribe has been living a life of fishing and hunting north of the main trunk of the Benma River.
It was extremely cold north of the Benma River this year, and even the whole river was frozen. He had no choice but to take the entire tribe south. While running along the way, he formed a force with several northern tribes of similar size and prepared to loot some southern tribes. tribe survived the winter.
Unexpectedly, there were almost no tribes south of the Benma River until Dabanya met Neil's messengers and brought the 200 of them to Yeqi City.
During the few days he settled in the north of the city, Dabanya felt that he had never eaten so much food and drank such delicious broth in winter. He kept thinking about what a powerful tribe there must be behind this magnificent city wall. Only then could he give such generous treatment to the barbarians whom he didn't even know.
Finally, Dabanya followed the armored guards into Yeqi City. It was said that he was going to meet the lord here. After passing through the streets, he came to the foot of an isolated mountain.
"Is this... is this a whole building?" The palace's buildings were perfectly integrated with the mountain. Dabanya and several barbarians were surprised by the strength of the territory here. They had never been to the barbarian tribes south of the Benma River in their lives. Knowing that the plain where he was located was once a powerful kingdom, he didn't know that Lant only lived in a historical ruins. He only thought that someone built a huge city on the edge of a mountain.
After walking through the long passage, there is a bright hall. The walls are covered with luminous gems. In the center of the circular hall, there is a black statue more than ten meters high. The main body is a knight on horseback wielding a sword. The horse's Standing on its front hooves, the knight raised his long sword and waved it to the sky. Beside the horse stood an old mage and a female archer who was drawing a bow and setting an arrow. On top of the lifelike sculpture was a huge crystal sculpture ceiling.
"What kind of material is this?" Da Banya naturally did not recognize the black jade produced in the northwest mountains of Benma, nor had he seen the natural crystal collected from the caves of the Eastern Kingdom, but this did not prevent Banya from being fascinated by everything in front of him. Value judgment: You can’t buy this sculpture even if you package and sell the entire grassland.
"Leader Banya, please go upstairs from here. Let's go see the lord." The armored guard stretched to the side stairs and invited several lords to go upstairs.
"No...meet the adults here?"
"Of course not. This is the South Staircase Hall. The Lord is waiting for everyone in the Galloping River Hall."
When the leaders went up the stairs, they saw that the crown worn by the black jade knight sculpture was actually made of pure gold. The two eyes of all the statues and the medals on the sculptures were inlaid with gems. The moment they looked at the sculptures, the gem eyes It seemed to flash a little, making several barbarians feel in awe.
When leaving the stairwell, Daban Ya even thought that the so-called Benma River Hall would not be more beautiful than this stair hall.
Until he saw 12 larger lacquered gold sculptures with white jade inlaid with animal teeth in the 60-meter-long, 30-meter-wide, and 40-meter-high hall.
On the wall behind the sculpture, there are several huge murals, and there are even reliefs covered with gold and silver on the mural frames.
The roof is divided into dozens of grids with gold-plated beams on a black background, and a statue of a god is drawn in each grid.
At the end of the room, there is a 2-3 meter high platform. Behind the high platform is a huge tapestry with lifelike black horses on it.
Banya saw a solemn king on the high platform, and under the platform were 8 warriors in costumes.
The sense of pressure belonging to the king made the legs of Banya and several chiefs tremble. As the armored warrior got closer and closer to the high platform, the steps of several people became slower and slower, and they became more and more weak. "Pfft", Ban Ya finally couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down. Some of the other barbarian leaders knelt down on one knee, some knelt down with their legs together, and one simply fell to the ground with his whole body prostrated.
"Sir... Your Majesty..." In the solemn hall, Dabanya remembered another honorific that did not belong to the barbarians. This was something he heard from various chance encounters and only belonged to the orc royal court or A title only encountered in the human empire.
"Headman Li, welcome you to my palace. This is the palace of Galloping Horse Kingdom!"
. . .
When Da Banya walked out of the gate of Yeqi City, his mind was still filled with a long list of famous lords such as "the great king of the Benma Plain, the heir of the Benma Kingdom, the family blessed by the God Emperor", etc. The scene of meeting a few of them in the splendid palace was like a dream.
After seeing the huge city wall, Ban Ya finally knew that this was not a dream, but a barbarian god who appeared, allowing his tribe to meet the messenger.
After waking up, Banya quickly ran back to the camp and called all his tribesmen together.
"Everyone! Listen to me. From today on, we are the barbarians of the Galloping Horse Tribe!
We now have a new leader, he is the king of the entire grassland! The new leader asked us to catch swordfish in the entire river for him in the future, and to raise them in the future! "Banya kept walking among the tribesmen, shouting loudly.
"As long as we complete the leader's mission, we will have enough to eat!" Dabanya shouted loudly, letting his tribe hear Lant's order.
Every tribe that has just arrived in Yeqi City will first complete some preliminary statistical work, including the population, number of demon supporters, and children; the tribe's specialties, and the animals carried by the tribe.
Banya's tribe is a fishing and hunting tribe, and they carry very limited livestock. The tribesmen do not know how to raise horses or sheep. Lant asked them to weave fishing nets and continue to fish in the Benma River Basin in the future, especially swordfish.
Several other tribes also allocate tasks according to their strengths. If the population is too small or too large, they will be stationed outside the city for a period of time before moving to the eight branches.
. . . . . .
"Huh, the effect is not bad, they really caught them." Seeing the barbarian leaders in the hall being led out tremblingly, Lant finally felt relieved.
"Your Majesty?" The shock is always mutual. The awe of outsiders infected Lant's subordinates. Although they had heard that the Benma family was the king of the plains in the past, the "king" and tribal leader in the eyes of the barbarians , there is no difference, but just now they realized that the galloping horse they were in was completely different from the tribe that swept around the plains last year.
"Just call it the usual way. It's all our own people. There's no need to make this up." Lant is very clear about his grass-roots team. At present, they can only bully the barbarians but have no knowledge. They can't deceive anyone from the royal capital.
This was their first time to use a hall in the palace, and everyone was in a hurry. They chose the Benma River Hall, which has the best-preserved runes of all types. There are some magic circles in the room that can activate some functions. Only a small number of points are needed. A brazier can maintain lighting.
However, if you are an envoy of the Human Empire, you can see that this hall is actually a banquet hall or dance hall. The high platform is more often used as an orchestra pit or stage. There is no key throne on the high platform. The thrones in other halls are too heavy. In a short time It can't be moved either. Lant could only stand in the middle of the stage wearing armor. Fortunately, the barbarians had never had the concept of a throne and knelt down when they saw the huge palace.
"Lanya, inform Sophia and the others to reserve manpower to gradually restore these palaces." With this experience, Lant was determined to gradually explore and excavate the entire Patmila Mountain Palace.
