On March 6, when the two suns were about to set, the setting sun dyed hundreds of tents golden. A few tents were surrounded by an iron pot, and the sauce-colored soup contained lamb bones, diced noodles, wild vegetables, and meat sausages. .
The fire carried Lant, looking at the large tent camp in the north of Yeqi City in front of him. The large smoke formed by dozens of water vapor complemented the golden tents.
"Lanya, Peter, have you arranged the animals for each branch?" Lant looked at the two confidants beside him. The weather was still very cold in Yeqi City, and Laniya and Peter were both there. On the back right side, the black-scaled horse under the seat is constantly emitting heat.
"Sir, most of them have been allocated. There are also some newly joined tribes. In the past few days, 7 or 8 small tribes have arrived one after another. The total population is probably close to 500 people. The scouts found that there are more The tribe is gathering towards us." Peter replied, while the smaller Laniya hesitated to speak, obviously wanting to remind Peter of some information, but he deliberately ignored it.
"Is there any news from Neil and the others?" Lant looked at Lanya's expression and guessed that Peter had memorized some numbers wrong, so he simply asked about the situation in the west.
"Not yet. According to the date, there should be information coming in the next two days." Peter was very concerned about Neil, and he still remembers these things relatively clearly. "The tribe who just came from the west said that after seeing them, it was Neil who gave them the message." It pointed the way, but it was still far away from the brown bears at that time.”
"I hope Neil can successfully buy iron ore. At the worst, he can find out about the brown bears." Lant muttered quietly.
"The strength of the Brown Bear Tribe is much stronger than that of Gray Goose. Many barbarians here have met their leader at the previous Gray Goose Alliance. Judging from his height, his strength is probably at the level of a great knight."
"Yeah, I know, don't worry, there will always be a way." Lant said to himself, although he was very optimistic, but his heart was ringing with alarm.
He didn't know why the brown bear tribe was so low-key, and he didn't know whether the brown bear had accepted the kindness of the front secretary, but he didn't think that the other party was simply peace-loving.
The predicament that Rant faces now is similar to that of Earl Maned Wolf a few months ago. He doesn't know the true strength of his opponent, he doesn't know whether he can deal with it, and he doesn't want to ask for help from other places and give the benefits to others.
It can only be said that the wind and water take turns, and the sky will bypass who.
After returning to the camp in the palace of Ye Qicheng, Lanya told Lant that the leaders of the eight Galloping Horse branches and their stewards were ready to see him.
"My lord, most of them performed pretty well. For those who have some problems, I suggest adjusting their positions." Laniya took out a form, which was based on the performance of the 16 leaders after departure. Score and rank.
In her opinion, the abilities of the leaders in the Galloping Horse branch should be stronger than those in the various stations, so she simply suggested that the leaders with high scores be the managers of the branch tribes.
"Let me see." Rand took the score sheet and looked at it while walking. "Performance during the migration process cannot be equated with the ability to manage the territory in the future. They still need to stay here for a few days. We can organize a course for them and let them learn together. In the future, the leaders will also have to teach them every few years. Move."
Lant hopes to borrow the thinking of the previous feudal dynasty to make the barbarians semi-nomadic, that is, each tribe demarcates an area. In the center of the area is a small town with public facilities such as temples, inns, warehouses, blacksmith shops, and windmills. Nomadic tribes provide various services.
Barbarian tribes will become the basis of the livestock industry, so Lant's requirements for leaders will become higher and higher, close to professional managers.
The meeting place was still Lant's camp in the cellar. The girls restored some of the lighting runes here before leaving, and now they no longer need to light a fire in the basement.
"All supplies and livestock will be arranged this month in Lanya, and the tents of each branch will also be prepared. All newly joined and annexed tribes need to adapt here before they can be distributed to you." Looking at the front There were eight very reserved barbarians and a dozen butlers, Lant said with a smile on his face.
"Old Ma Legs, how are your people preparing?" Lant patted Lao Ma Legs on the shoulder. He was one of the first barbarian tribesmen to defect to him. Since joining the tribe, he has been striving to get acquainted or get married. The tribes also joined in and were very active in territorial affairs.
"Sir, I have made arrangements here. There are about 200 people and more than 30 cavalry who are willing to come with me." The old horse legs met to go out to herd together. Most of them were older barbarian cavalry. These cavalry were not good at fighting. However, he has rich experience in herding.
"Very good. If something goes wrong when you are nomadic, or if you find a large group of enemies, don't be brave and prioritize your own safety." Lant's occupational disease from his previous life recurred, and he kept giving instructions to several barbarian men.
Each tribe will redistribute a group of pack animals, black-scaled horses and woolly sheep cubs in the next few days. Their main task is to train these livestock on the grassland.
"You have to remember that you have to come to Yeqi City once every month in the middle and end of the month to report on the livestock and population, so that I can distribute the food and salt you need to everyone."
Rand will not really turn the leader of the branch into the new barbarian leader. Important supplies such as food, salt, and magic pattern plates will be controlled. At the same time, the squadrons of the Galloping Horse Knights will also be among the branches. patrol.
The newly defected tribes encountered by the branch are not allowed to stay directly. Instead, they need to escort the new tribes to Yeqi City to gather. In short, even if they are separated, the people, wealth, and materials must be controlled in Yeqi City. hands.
After assigning tasks to his tribal leaders, Lant gave each leader a suit of magic-patterned armor and a gorgeous cloak. The nine of them wore stylish clothes and went to meet several tribal leaders who had defected to them.
The men depended on their clothes and the horses relied on their saddles. Several of the headmen were well dressed up by the girls from the singing and dancing tribe in the camp. Their hair and beards were braided, and their cloaks were smoked with incense bought by the royal capital. They were decorated with gold. Also on the belt is a magic pattern sword with a magic beast leather sheath inlaid with gems.
In addition to an aristocratic-looking suit, Lant also took out a bunch of accessories bought for the girls from the royal capital and asked the leaders to pick them out.
Seeing his subordinates all dressed up as if they were nobles from Maned Wolf City, Lant was very satisfied. He didn't have a full-length mirror, so he had to use a magic mirror to let a few people see what he looked like.
"Wow, this, is this me?" Blue Frog looked at himself in the magic mirror and shouted loudly. He was an excellent hunter and very loyal to Lant, so he was put as the leader of the branch.
"Sir, can I choose a red tiara? I think this steel-bristle pig's one suits me particularly well."
Seeing the two-meter-tall barbarian leader put a pink pig hairpin in his hair, Lant didn't expect these rough barbarians to be so girlish.
Sorry, there should have been two chapters yesterday, and this chapter should have been released at 7:30 yesterday, but I seem to have made a mistake. I will adjust it later; in addition to this chapter, there are two chapters today.
