Neil himself didn't expect that the distance between the iron mine and Ye Qicheng was only a few dozen kilometers longer than the salt mine, but the trip would take twice as long.
First of all, Neil himself didn’t know the way very well. After the team passed through Cornico from Lot, they only knew to walk west along the tributary of the Galloping Horse River. When they met the Luoyue River, they turned south. However, the hills became more and more hilly as they went west. The Nanluoyue River has become even more winding since it separated from the Benma River. In addition, the grassland roads in early spring were muddy, which greatly slowed down Neil's speed.
Secondly, he met several small tribes along the way. Neil tried his best to lead each tribe to Yeqi City. Communication with each other would inevitably waste time.
But the most troublesome thing was crossing the river. There were not only cavalry and knights in the team, but also dozens of draft horses and carts transporting ore. Neil and the cavalry spent a lot of effort to find a shallow stall, and finally Crossed the river.
As soon as they crossed the river, they encountered a large tribe. Neil sent people to negotiate, but to his surprise, the entire tribe came out with their families to fight.
"The Hexi tribe is really a bunch of barbarians," Neil said incessantly as he looked at a group of barbarians riding huge beasts of burden.
Since the establishment of Benma tribe,
"Savage" went from being brave to being synonymous with ignorance.
"Neil, we have to go to the Brown Bears to buy iron ore. Will it cost too much to fight against them now?" Dashiru on one side was worried that he would not be able to get any advantage after the two teams collided.
At this time, a man from the tribe opposite them, who looked like a leader, came over on a huge beast of burden.
"Looks like this is going to be a duel, give me all the crystals." Neil reached out and asked his cronies to ask for magic crystals. All the equipment on his body were magic pattern equipment. After putting in 5 magic crystals, all attributes can be activated. Not only In this way, Lant also equipped him and several intermediate knights with an enchanted long sword that can emit fire magic.
Taking the magic crystal with him, Neil rode forward on his horse.
"This leader, I am Neil Falcon from the Galloping Horse Tribe. What is your name?"
"Just call me Long Ox Hoof. This is Big Long Horn." Long Ox Hoof looked up and down at the approaching Neil. Neil was now over 2.2 meters tall. The steady supply of Warcraft meat allowed him to grow rapidly.
What a rare good guy. If I can win, I will definitely save his life and be a companion to Xiaohua. The old man kept thinking, but heard the person on the other side speaking.
"Our Benma tribe is the king of the entire plain! Now the Benma tribe is willing to provide food to all the people on the plains for everyone to survive the winter. If Chief Long Niuho is willing to bring your tribe to join us, I am willing to personally welcome you back. If you don't want to, we can also trade with each other." Neil glanced at the tribe behind the long ox hoof and said,
"I don't know if you...are you planning to start a war with us?"
"Um... We, the Longhorn Tribe, were ordered by..." Old Manzi is a professional in raising beasts of burden, but when it comes to memorizing the vocabulary of Zou Zou, he is really not good at it. He sat on the beast of burden and stammered. , I didn’t want to look back at the fox girl in the camp behind me.
"At."
"Ordered?" Neil recalled the old barbarian's words.
"To...to the Great Fire Fox God!" Long Oxhoof finally remembered that Fanuel Fox described the god of the fox clan orcs as just a huge fire-red fox from ancient times.
"Fire? Fire fox?" The barbarians are no strangers to gods. Orcs have a transcendent status among the barbarians. Each tribe also has some beliefs in the main beast gods, but even the least particular barbarians will express their opinions. Sometimes, honorific titles or divine titles are added, such as the God of the White Wolf of the Woodland and the God of the Forest Cats of the Prairie. However, it is rare to directly call the Big Fox.
"This barbarian" Faneuil Fox, who was several hundred meters behind the Longhorn Bull, heard that this guy was so disrespectful to his god. He stood up with his big white tail, and the hair on the tail was about to explode.
"Yes, I am the scroller of the Great Fire Fox God, and I want to duel with you!" Chang Niu Hoo's words were very firm,
"The winner is the leader of the two tribes!"
"Neal!" Knight Daniko behind Neil was a little anxious. Although duels like this are very common among barbarians, among human nobles, it is against the laws of the nobility for a knight to bet the lord's property without permission. .
"Neil, don't duel with him," Dashiru shouted. He didn't know the rules of the nobility, but simply decided that he shouldn't conflict with a tribe protected by the God of Warcraft.
"It doesn't matter." Neil stared at the long hooves and his mount. Looking at his hands that were shaking with excitement, he felt that the tribal leader was not good at riding.
"I will let him go." Ignoring the dissuasion of others, Neil took the lead in pulling out his sword and started to accelerate towards the giant beast.
When Long Ox Hoof saw Neil's move, he naturally wasn't willing to lag behind. He took out the long hair from the side of the beast and accelerated the charge.
Before February, Neil had learned about riding and swordsmanship from several intermediate knights every day, so he naturally knew that one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. As soon as he exerted force with his left foot, the black-scaled horse under him turned to the right, preparing to attack in a roundabout way.
Long Ox Hoof knew that although his mount was tall, it was not as nimble as the black-scaled horse. The opponent had already detoured to his left wing. The old man who did not usually practice swordsmanship or spear skills immediately gave up the spear with his right hand and drew out the scimitar from the saddle, preparing to meet him. Neil's sword.
In the blink of an eye, Neil's horse's head slashed towards the old man,
"Cang~" The scimitar and the long sword made the first impact. Extreme pain and paralysis were transmitted to the two people at the same time. The beast under the old barbarian suddenly shook its head, and the long metal-covered horn was about to stab the black man on the side. Lin Ma, Neil saw that the situation was not going well and immediately distanced himself.
"This kid can do it. No wonder he can command such a cavalry." Looking at Neil walking away, Long Oxhoof secretly complained in his heart, having a little doubt about the so-called oracle of the fox girl.
"Even if I can defeat him by chance, can the cavalry behind him agree?"
"This old barbarian is very strong!" Neil was also reassessing his opponent.
"It seems that he is not very good at fighting, why is he so strong!" Neil had opened all the magic circles on the armor before attacking. It stands to reason that with this equipment, he can be on par with ordinary high-level knights.
Both of them no longer charged easily. Neil took advantage of the speed of the black-scaled horse and continued to maneuver at medium and high speeds in an attempt to get behind his opponent. Long Oxhoof had already noticed this, but his mount was not fast enough, so he could only Keep pulling the reins to keep the animal's head facing the black-scaled horse as much as possible to prevent sneak attacks.
In the blink of an eye, a duel between knights turned into a black horse circling race. After three or five circlings, Neil almost fainted, and he was forced to speed up again against the long ox's hooves.
"Ah, what a good opportunity." Seeing that his opponent's patience was at an end, Long Ox Hoof naturally looked at the right moment and took out another spear to prepare for the hedge. This beast of burden was big and naturally equipped with many weapons.
The two cavalrymen collided at full speed again. The old man was cruel and pointed his finger at Neil, intending to knock him off his horse with a single shot. His daughter's marriage was also forgotten.
But he never thought that the long sword on the opposite side suddenly emitted flames when it was less than 20 meters away. The wind in front of the black-scaled horse and the flames on the long sword formed a fireball and flew out in front of Neil.
"Moo~" The big long horn was hit by the flames for the first time, and he subconsciously dodged to the right. This made the center of the old cow's hoof unstable, but when the long sword from the opposite side came, he could only turn the long hair sideways to block it. Neil.
"Clang~" Neil activated all his equipment and cut off the spear shaft with one blow.
"Dang~" Big Horn noticed Neil approaching and quickly threw his head towards the black-scaled horse. Neil used his sword to hold Long Horn, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a scimitar coming from above.
"Ding~dang~" The old barbarian was not good at swordsmanship, but he was excellent at cooperating with animals. He slashed Neil's shoulder directly with the knife, but heard a sound of metal colliding. After being slashed, Neil's armor was completely damaged. No.
Although Neil was not injured, he did not dare to raise his weight. He moved forward from the horse, and the long sword passed along the side armor of the giant beast with sparks.
When the two separated again, there was a bleeding hole on the black-scaled horse's rear buttocks, and the armor plate on the lower left part of the long horn had completely fallen off.
Seeing that Neil's horse was injured, the old man finally saw a chance to win. He quickly moved the reins to let the beast of burden move forward. However, he never thought that as soon as the mount moved, he felt that his lower body was unstable, and the entire saddle of the beast fell forward and to the right. Go down.
