On the morning of March 4th, Emperor Yang's light fell from the gaps in a few dark clouds, and beams of light shone on the grasslands and rivers.
Less than 300 kilometers west of the Cornico Pass, there is a Luoyue River that runs from north to south. This small river with a width of more than ten meters originates from the Blue Moon Lake at the northernmost point of the plain. It meets the main trunk of the east-west Benma River on the plain. After that, it separates again and goes south for only a dozen kilometers, dividing the entire plain into east and west parts. The Blue Moon River finally enters Luoyuehu near the Cornico Mountains and flows into the underground rivers of the mountains. Finally, it ends at the mountains. Appeared again in the central forest in the south.
Among the barbarians west of Blue Moon Lake, the most powerful brown bear tribe lives at the foot of the mountain near Luoyue Lake. With Luoyue Lake as the center, all nearby barbarian tribes are affiliated with the brown bear tribe. They either raise livestock to transport ore for the brown bear tribe, or they deploy troops to surround the brown bear's mines, or they capture human demon worshipers around the plains and send them to the iron mines as slaves.
"Xiaohua, have you grown horns?" A barbarian leader emerged from his large animal skin tent, looked at the surrounding tents in several circles, and shouted at the top of his lungs. "Hurry up, if you're late, I won't wait for you to eat!"
"I finished feeding early, father." The girl's voice came from behind the big tent, as sweet as a silver bell, "I saw my uncle and the others at the gate of the camp. Coming back so early is probably a big gain!"
Xiao Hua ran over from behind the tent and happily handed the wild vegetables in her hand to the leader, "Aunt Silena just picked these, they are so fresh!"
"These are potato seedlings, these are bracken," the girl counted the names of each bunch of wild vegetables to her father, "and this one, Houttuynia cordata, these are what Aunt Hilena taught me." Her clothes, the same animal skins as those of other barbarians, could not hide her snow-white and delicate skin and dark cloud-like hair. She was recognized by the entire tribe as the most beautiful flower.
"Okay, Xiao Hua knows so much." As his father, Chang Niu Ti is most partial to this girl who has not yet activated her magic power. Although she is already 14 years old, there will be no hope if she does not activate it. "Call a few people to pick up your uncle and the others."
"Okay." Xiaohua jumped away, called away several children of the same age, and went to the gate of the camp to find her uncle, the former human knight Kisser.
"Go and fetch Ms. Faneuil!" Long Oxhoof ordered the people around him and walked straight into the big tent.
"Chief? We're back." The first person to enter the tent was Knight Kisser. His black hair was very similar to Xiaohua's, dark eyes, and tall stature. He was holding a weft basket in his right hand and holding his niece with his left hand.
"How was the harvest today?" Looking at his brother-in-law's movements, Chang Niu Ho thought that this boy must be lazy and ran back without getting anything back.
"A team came from the west of Luoyue River. There are 50 cavalry." Kisser looked at the blue ones with long ox hooves and said quickly, "No less than those in our camp!"
"Fifty cavalry?" Long Niuho stood up unconsciously.
"Not only are there many people, but they are all cavalry riding black-scaled horses and wearing armor." Kisser's face was uglier than the hooves of a bull. "Do you think it was the priest who mentioned it..."
"The leader called me, what's the matter?" The leather curtain was opened for the second time, and the men in the tent took a breath subconsciously. A woman in a white robe entered the room with a burst of floral fragrance. The woman's voice was slightly hoarse, but her soft words were filled with arrogance.
Faniel Fox, a Hu priest from the west of the plain, is a distinguished guest of the barbarian tribes in the entire Galloping Horse Plain. This female priest's face and figure are similar to those of the human demon-supporting girl, but she has white hair on her ears, and there are also A white fox tail.
"Ah..." Long Ox Hoof looked at Fanir blankly, and finally Xiaohua stepped on him before he realized what was happening, "Ah, by the way, Priest Fanir, the bad omen you mentioned has appeared."
"Well...yes, the cold wind in the north, the silence of the brown bear tribe, and now the black horse cavalry comes from the east." Kiser added, this is the beast god's oracle that the priest repeatedly conveyed to the tribe.
"This is your majesty's oracle, and it will naturally come true." Faniel said expressionlessly, "Chief Long Ox Hoof, your opportunity has come. My majesty has given me this bottle of magic medicine." The fox girl took out He bought a bottle of blue potion, "You can conquer this tribe through duel, and then challenge the brown bear."
"Really? Is this an oracle?" When Long Oxhoof heard the opportunity to command the entire iron mine, he wanted to reach out and get the bottle of potion.
"Father, there are already dozens of cavalry in our territory. Even if there are more than a hundred beasts of burden, we can't support that many cavalry without the business of transporting iron ore." Xiaohua watched as her father and uncle were The fox was very dissatisfied and protested loudly.
"What do children know? We have captured the iron ore. We can have as much food as we want, and we can raise as many cavalry as we want!" Long Niuho was a little dissatisfied that his daughter was standing between him and the potion, and he was impatient. explained.
"Chief, leader!" A report suddenly came from outside, "Chief, a large group of cavalry came less than 10 miles away from our camp. There are more people than us. They said that they are from the Benma tribe and have no ill intentions towards us. Just want to buy all the human slaves"
"Human slaves?" Long Oxhoof glanced at Kisser on the side, and sneered, "Buy all human slaves? They have such a bad tone!"
As the horn sounded, the entire tribe began to move. Dozens of barbarian demon-supporters dragged out long-horned beasts from the animal pens. These giant beasts were long-haired, with four horns on their heads, and were no less than 3 meters tall. On each beast, there is a barbarian demon-free person responsible for driving the bull, and a barbarian demon-supporting person responsible for throwing hair. Among the more than 140 beasts of burden in the entire camp, 20 are specialized barbarian mounts.
The long ox's hooves were wrapped in red iron armor, and he rode on his tall mount with long horns. This huge beast of burden was also covered in armor. These armors were made by Soyaku and several other semi-dwarves as Luoyuehe. Among the barbarians to the west, there are not only distressed human tribes like Giser, but also semi-dwarf blacksmiths like Soyaku, and herbivorous half-orcs such as Silena.
More than 40 demon-advocates, holding their own weapons and riding pack animals, draft horses and two giant deer, rushed to the entrance of the camp and looked at the cavalry arriving from a distance. This cavalry team wears uniform black armor, and beneath them is the best and most expensive black-scaled horse on the grassland. Behind the leader is a long pole, with a red flag with a black galloping horse pattern on it. Flying in the wind.
