Chapter 19 17. Medium Barbarian Tribe(1/2)

After 2 or 3 days of rest, Lant led a team of all knights and a carriage to the east.

In the past few days, Greyhound has clearly figured out the medium-sized tribe to the east. There are at least 10 barbarian demon-wielders resident in this tribe, more than 30 tents, 100 long-haired sheep and more than 40 pack animals. This tribe has

It can be said that their strength exceeds the sum of the barbarian tribes they attacked last time.

And the difference between this tribe and the previous tribe is that they are very vigilant no matter day or night, and there are always cavalry on guard.

Lant led a group of knights carelessly along the river and approached the tribe. Now everyone was dressed like a barbarian, with iron armor and furs that were common among barbarians. At first glance, they thought they were cavalry from a large tribe.

For this operation, Lant spent a lot of money. Each low-level knight held two magic crystals. Once he found something wrong, he immediately used the magic crystals to replenish his fighting spirit and charge forward.

Brown Rabbit is the younger brother of the tribal leader and the leader of the 10 barbarian cavalry left behind.

His brother took 7 cavalry to join the alliance. His task was to keep an eye on the human slaves in the camp and protect the tribe from being targeted by other barbarians.

"Sir," the cavalry patrolling outside came to report, "9 people are coming to us."

"Oh, brother, are they back?"

"This... doesn't look like the leader to me. They are dressed more neatly than the leader. They brought nothing else back with them, only a carriage followed them."

"What is that for?" Brown Rabbit was not sure, so he could only take a few people to explore the situation.

As expected, Brown Rabbit walked out of the camp and saw 9 cavalrymen and a carriage coming slowly. Most of them stopped 200 meters away from the camp. Only the leader continued to walk over and greeted him in a friendly manner.

.

"Hi, we are the messengers of the leader of Gray Goose. The coalition forces of our tribe have captured many places. The leader said that he will distribute gold coins to the participating tribes. Come and get it from me!" The other party said in common language with a barbarian accent.

With.

"Divide the gold coins?" Brown Rabbit finally understood what was going on, "Hahaha, I'm afraid it's not the leader of Gray Goose who wants to give us something sweet in order to allow us to continue sending troops?" Although he said he was disgusted, his body was very tired.

Honest, he walked towards the carriage with a few of his four cronies.

"Chief, what you said is wrong. The gold coins are in the carriage. If you send more troops, you will naturally get more!" A cavalryman near the carriage said loudly.

"If you send more troops, you will get more points. Aren't you just asking us to continue sending troops? Let's see how many gold coins we can get for each cavalry? Hahaha." Brown Rabbit has now determined that this convoy is here to distribute money.

He continued to send troops because he saw that the slave in the car had opened a box, and the box was filled with golden light.

Brown Rabbit couldn't wait any longer. He had followed his brother over the years, and the size of his tribe had grown larger and larger, but he had never seen a box full of gold coins.

Brown Rabbit trotted along with his cronies, not realizing that the cavalry escorting the convoy were already behind him. Barbarians should not give their backs to strangers. "Come on, Xiao Nizi, tell me, we are out of the way."

How many gold coins should be divided among 7 cavalrymen?"

"Bang..." Brown Rabbit was answered by a figure from behind on the left. This figure suddenly attacked at an undetectable speed, knocking down Brown Rabbit, and then Brown Rabbit saw a cold light.

Lant used a magic crystal and launched an impact. After knocking down the brown rabbit, he immediately drew his sword and slashed at him. Several other knights were not idle, and took advantage of the brown rabbit's cronies to directly attack him while his back was turned to them.

If the barbarians were a little wary when Lant first arrived, when they heard that the money was going to be divided, the barbarians' eyes lit up. The 10 people solved 5 of them at once, and they were the first to face the brown rabbit and follow him

The person speaking with a barbarian accent was Rolle, and less than 10 steps behind Rolle was the greyhound Dante. The two men immediately charged forward on horseback, killing the two barbarians guarding the door before they could react.

The vigilant barbarians were all standing on the ground. The knights on horses were 2 meters taller than them, and their speed was unparalleled. The barbarians without horses were no match at all.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining three barbarians prepared to run into the camp and escape on horseback, but were hacked to death by the surrounding knights.

"We won, we won, we faced the barbarians head-on and won!" Greyhound's son, Dogtooth Dante, was speaking. In recent years, the 20-year-old Dogtooth Dante has become a junior knight. In terms of potential, Bilan

Very high.

Although they had participated in sneak attacks on barbarian camps before, this was the first time they faced barbarians in the daytime, and Canine looked extremely excited.

"Hentooth, what did I say? We can win! You have to believe in me, and you have to believe in yourself." Although this plan was made by Lant himself, and Lant himself had no confidence when it came, it did not hinder him.

Lant now takes credit for his success and has earned himself the trust of the Cavaliers.

"Yes, sir, you are really good at predicting things." In fact, what Hound Tooth said was a local slang, but Lant himself couldn't understand the specific meaning, so he simply translated it like this.

At this moment, Lant and others were in the middle of the huge barbarian camp. Lant saw that many demon-free people had come out of the camp.

They saw that Lant had left none of his original masters behind, and they all knelt down.

In a high-rise tent at the edge of the camp, a tall figure suddenly appeared. This figure was taller than Lant.

Oh no, there are still barbarian cavalry?

After a while, four more figures came out. These people looked at Lant numbly, and then a few people who came out later looked at the person who came out first. They made eye contact, and then knelt down together to express their submission.

...........

The most exciting part after the sneak attack is the unboxing process, which is the same for both barbarians and humans.

Lant still asked Albert to count the prisoners, while Rolle and Tiezhu counted the livestock. He went into the tent and rummaged for valuables.

The advantage of a medium-sized tribe is that there are many valuable things and there are many people to guard them, so there is no need to bury everything in the ground.

Rant rummaged through and found 35 gold coins, some silver coins, copper coins, two magic books, a magic sealing box. In the box was an enchanted long sword, a dozen magic crystals, and 6 rune boards: water, fire,

There were wind, ice, two lighting panels, and an alchemy doll. Lant didn't know what it was, so he didn't move it.

The livestock in the camp include 14 black-scaled horses, 37 pack animals, 97 long-haired sheep, nearly a ton of grain filling a tent, about 50 kilograms of salt and some spices, and a blacksmithing stove and

Less than 300 kilograms of iron ingots, 500 kilograms of coal, 30 carts and dozens of square meters of wood.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous iron tools, herbs, meat, monster meat, and common livestock, as well as more than 20 grouse, gray geese and other poultry.

It seems that the medium-sized camp is really different from the small one. This is not only a tribe's camp, but also a trading point for nearby small tribes. Small tribes can trade here with currency or other items, or exchange for horseshoes, etc.

"Lant" Albert came in, and there were actually a few people behind him. They were the last few big men who knelt down to Lant. These people were undoubtedly demon embracers, but they were not demon embracers of this tribe.

.

"Let me introduce, this is Knight Daniko. He was once the guardian knight of the Frostwolf Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital. He was captured by the barbarians three years ago and has been living here. These demon-supporters have also been robbed by barbarians in various places in the past two years.

They were taken captive here during the raid."

"I, Danico, thank you, Baron Lant, for your rescue. I will follow you to the death." Danico knelt down on one knee to show his allegiance, and the other four demon worshipers also knelt down at the same time.

No wonder this tribe had to keep so many cavalry on alert at all times. It turned out that what they were guarding against was not an invasion from outside, but the demonic slaves in the camp. Lant understood something.

"Knight Danico, please get up quickly, everyone please get up too. I, Lant Galloping Horse, welcome you all to join me, Danico, you are really suffering." Although Lant didn't say anything, I made Danico even more powerful.

lines, but Corporal Li Xian’s posture is still adequate.

"Lord Lant..." Daniko was captured by the barbarians for 3 years. He lived a miserable life every day, let alone gained respect. Lant's routine was something Daniko had never seen before. He was really excited and burst into tears with gratitude.

.

Danico, who was helped up, told Lant what happened to them.

Daniko was originally a junior knight employed by the caravans of the Frostwolf family in the royal capital. He was specifically responsible for escorting trade from the royal capital - Maned Wolf City. Three years ago, he was kidnapped by barbarians while escorting the caravan.

These barbarians were very strange. They had no interest in the non-demon people, and they didn't touch any goods other than money. They just kidnapped a few demon-possessed people.

After that, Daniko fell everywhere on the Galloping Horse Plains. He was first sent to the Barbarian Alliance, and was sold to a medium-sized tribe like a commodity. Then the tribe was conquered by other tribes, and Daniko was treated like a trophy.

was changed hands.

In the end, Daniko was sold to the current camp again. When he saw Lant's invasion this time, Daniko thought it was a conflict between tribes like last time, but he didn't expect that he would be rescued.

Daniko introduced that in the barbarian camp, the barbarians were very powerful and upright by nature. They were good at hunting and herding, but one thing was that they were unable to do fine work.

Camp tasks such as setting up tents, grazing, and repairing armor must be undertaken by non-demon people, but tasks such as shoeing a black-scaled horse, blacksmithing, etc. require both strength and skill.

Medium-sized tribes will buy human demon-holding slaves to do this. After a tribe purchases a demon-holding slave, it will let him specialize in this kind of composite work. There are usually 3 or 4 small tribes around a medium-sized tribe.

These small tribes can exchange prey, currency, and sheepskins for horseshoes from medium-sized tribes, or even horseshoeing services. Therefore, Daniko became a common blacksmith for many nearby tribes.

Lant showed great sympathy and said on the spot that he would let Danico be his family knight, and several of the demon supporters would also be his direct households, which moved several people again.

In the subsequent statistics section, Lant also specifically asked Danico and others to select 5 people each as their own family members among the 120 captured non-demon people, and the remaining 95 people were counted as Lant's own subjects.

Although Lant is more accustomed to directly managing all those who have demons and those without demons, Lant also knows that this world has huge inertia. He can follow the inertia to benefit himself, but he cannot change the times alone.

Fortunately, there were both non-demon people who had worked as housekeepers and demon-adhering people who could read. Lant still followed his original idea and took care of the children alone, singled out the craftsmen, and asked for hygiene and the establishment of sanitary trenches.

...........

The next day, the main camp 20 kilometers away came to meet here. The number of people directly under Lant's territory directly reached 200, which was equal to the population of the barony, and there were new demon-supporters.

Now, whether it is Rolle, Greyhound, Dogtooth, Daniko, Nila, or Mei Wennan, they all firmly believe that Lant can take them back to the Galloping Horse Barony, and even turn Galloping Horse into a viscounty territory.

At this time, Albert was even thinking about liberating the human demon possessors in various barbarian camps along the way to form a new force of the Galloping Horse family.

Lant had just finished arranging the affairs in the territory at this moment, and called all the singing and dancing girls together, a total of 8 of them. These girls were purchased by the barbarian leader for enjoyment, and among them was the one that Albert arranged to "take care of" that day.

Rand two.

"Everyone, do you know why I called you together?"

Several girls looked at each other, "Do you need our service?"

"No, I need you to sing," Lant counted the few nights he came into the world. There were few that were truly free of trouble and could be enjoyed peacefully.

Lant is well aware that his direct subjects are now made up of a group of barbarian slaves. Everyone has the habits developed in the barbarian area and the thinking that they once had in the human area. These ideas are mixed together. If Lan

If you are unable to create an identity of your own, large and small factions and groups will emerge among these people.

Among other things, Lant has decided to let all the demon-loving people who joined today mount their horses and become cavalry. These people must be separated from the non-demon people to prevent them from forming factions when they fight.

To generate identity, culture is needed, and music is the carrier of culture. Lant gave all the singers a song called "Guardian Folk Song for Galloping Horses" with a simple melody and easy-to-understand lyrics.
