Chapter 22 20. New alliance

The Wandering Badger Tribe was extremely noisy at this time, and there were two auxiliary camps outside the main camp, which were responsible for taking care of the barbarian cavalry and male demonless men from several surrounding small tribes.

Every day, the tribe's cavalry patrols the surrounding area, inviting newly arrived tribe men to visit the badger tribe, where food, water and slaves are provided.

The six neighboring tribes have all brought over their demon-wielders and men.

The main camp of Badger is very large, bigger than anything Lant has seen before. It is more like a noble camp than a tent camp.

The central part of the main camp was separated by a circle of fence, and a special foundation of earth and stone was made below the main tent. The structure of the tent was also different from anything Lant had ever seen.

There are two types of ordinary barbarian tents. One is a relatively small pointed tent. Although the highest point of such a tent is higher than the height of the demon holder, the overall space is small, with a circular cross-section and a triangular vertical section.

The demon possessor can usually only stand up in the center of the tent.

But the advantage is that this tent is easy to fold and fold, and can be taken away quickly.

The second type is the Bedouin tent in Lant's hometown. Lant took it with him when he came out of the territory. The barbarian camps that Lant first attacked were all this kind of tents.

This kind of tent is supported by multiple brackets. It is very spacious inside and can accommodate a barbarian of about 2.3 meters. It also covers a large area.

Tribes with such tents are basically small and medium-sized tribes, and they will have magic-sealing boxes and other equipment.

There is also a kind of tent tent that was only seen in the medium-sized camp that was attacked last time. It is a round tent that is similar to a round bag. It has a very large space, but it requires a lot of wood frames and animal skins. Only a small and medium-sized tribe can afford it.

Now, the most important tent in this tribe not only has a foundation underground, but the part above ground is 8 or 9 meters high. The lower part of the tent is similar to a round bag, formed in a circle, and the upper part has

A huge spire, seen from a distance, this tent can accommodate at least 30 barbarians. It can be said to be the most luxurious tent that Lant has ever seen.

In addition to this main tent, there are 5 round tents surrounding the main tent. Outside is the fence in the core area. Outside the fence are the 7 or 8 Bedouin tents and more than 10 top tents in the camp. This

They are the tents of other barbarians in the camp.

These tents, as well as a large number of horses, pack animals, sheep, and poultry, were surrounded by a second layer of fence and became the main body of the badger tribe's camp.

There is a piece of flat land outside this camp, and on both sides are auxiliary camps where demon worshipers and men from various small tribes live.

At this moment, the leader of the Badger, Black Eyed Badger, was inside the main tent, looking at the huge mound of soil to the south.

Although Lant didn't know what it was, the leader of Black Eyed Badger knew that it was the ruins of the former Yeqi City, the center of the former Galloping Horse Plains, and a huge urban ruins that were rebuilt with the personal participation of the Emperor of the Empire of Man.

.

The Badger Leader's mother is from the human race, and his father is a tribal leader from the previous generation.

A few years ago, Heitong met a demon-supporter of the human race, an ascetic monk on the Galloping Horse Plains. Ascetic monks are a type of clergy, but they are willing to spread their faith in the most difficult places, and they are also willing to spread their faith in the most difficult places.

Able to be content with poverty and travel around the world to save others.

This ascetic monk was respected by the barbarians because he was willing to treat everyone, including barbarians, non-demon people, and human slaves.

Heitong once met an ascetic monk in the tribe. He told Heitong that this land was once a human kingdom, and the ruins in the distance were the ruins of the capital city.

From then on, Heitong liked to take advantage of the opportunity of the tribe to be stationed nearby to explore the ruins. Several independent explorations yielded no results.

Until Heitong·Wandering Badger had a chance encounter and followed another warrior from the tribe into the ruins, Heitong became obsessed with this ruins.

It is too big and too beautiful. On the highest mound, there are huge architectural ruins. The ground inside is still covered with floor tiles that I don't know how to make. There are faintly glowing lines on the huge pillars.

From that moment on, Heitong knew that his destiny was to lead the tribe here.

Eight years ago, several members of the tribe followed Gray Goose to the south. Except for his father, everyone else came back.

Black Eyes·Wandering Badger knew that his time had come. Black Eyes, who had been taller since he was a child, successfully defeated all opponents and became the leader of the tribe.

Previously, this tribe was no different from other medium-sized tribes. It had a round tent, 4 or 5 human demon possessor slaves in the camp, and there were 2 small tribes surrounding the tribe as vassals.

In the second year after Heitong became the leader, the Gray Goose tribe invited him to participate in the alliance. The location was just outside Yeqi City, the only place where there was a large area of ​​flat land.

At that alliance, the Gray Goose leader informed several medium-sized tribe leaders that he could trade with the human race.

From then on, Black Eyes knew that the Gray Goose leader was planning to buy black scale horses on a large scale.

Then the wandering badger led his tribe to collect black-scaled horses from east to west of the Galloping Horse Plain every year.

In the year when the alliance just ended, each small tribe did not breed black scale horses very much, so in the first year, he would help the small tribe breed, instruct the small tribe how to raise horses, and even find human demon worshipers to shoe the small tribe's horses.

.

It seems that Heitong's first year was spent following different tribes in exchanges with no profit, but it was all worth it, because all Heitong's efforts were just investments.

In the following three years, Wandering Badger established good relationships with many small tribes and was able to purchase a large number of black-scaled horses, becoming Gray Goose's largest supplier of black-scaled horses.

The active supply of Wandering Badgers has greatly reduced the acquisition costs of the Gray Goose Tribe. For this reason, the Gray Goose reciprocated and gave Wandering Badgers huge discounts on rune boards, wood and other human commodities. Wandering Badgers used the purchased goods in exchange for the West

Brown Bear Tribe Iron Ingot.

The Gray Goose Tribe obtained the iron ingots and used the human demon wielder knights to build iron armor in the salt mines.

Part of Gray Goose's armor was sold to Viscount Roth, and the other part was sold to Badger at a discount. The Badger tribe continued to use the armor to exchange for black-scaled horses among smaller tribes.

In just a few years, Gray Goose, the main controller of the southern part of Galloping Horse, and secondary suppliers like Badger have formed a stable business division of labor and industrial upgrading, and the tribal strength has also improved year after year.

Gray geese and wandering badgers have become the biggest beneficiaries of the export of the Benma Plains to the Dragon Kingdom, and the gray geese have a decisive influence on the entire south of the Benma River.

The population of the Badger Territory has tripled in seven years, and the extra population has become an affiliated tribe according to tradition. The main camp has luxurious tents and more than ten human demon embracers.

In the alliance meeting this fall, the leader of Gray Goose told Heitong that he would go south in winter and invited Heitong to send troops together. Heitong sensed that the opportunity had come, and he used various means to bring together the main barbarians from the surrounding small tribes.

Sent to Gray Goose.

He was supposed to go together, but he "accidentally" fell into the Benma River and caught a cold.

Black Eyes is very similar to the Gray Goose leader. They are both very ambitious people. There are many human demons in the salt mine of the Gray Goose leader. These human slaves make the Gray Goose leader often think that he can also become a great lord of the human race.

;

Heitong's ambition is different from that of the Gray Goose leader. He believes that the excavation of the Yeqi City ruins is the most important. In addition to serving Gray Goose to accumulate strength over the years, he is also paying attention to Gray Goose's actions.

When Heitong heard that Gray Goose was heading south, Heitong felt happy. Now he believed that facing the strong humans, the Gray Goose tribe would only be crushed.

Once Gray Goose is gone, his time as a badger has arrived. Now that Gray Goose has taken away a large number of new troops from small tribes, what he has to do is to quickly increase his strength, and then take the small tribes to win the salt mines. The third part is

Explore the ruins of Yeqi City with the human demon warriors in the salt mine.

The strength of Gray Goose near the salt mine has long been observed by Heitong. He has already calculated how many barbarian cavalry are needed to be sure of success.

For this purpose, he prepared food and long-haired sheep in advance. The first step for the rise of wandering badgers was to annex the surrounding small tribes, whether they were separated or passing by, and tied them all around the camp. Black Tong thought

Well, we need to use strong methods to merge these tribes with our own tribe.

Once you have a cavalry team of more than 40 people, the Badger can easily annex all the medium-sized tribes and rush straight to the salt mines.

All the details of the plan have been repeated many times in Heitong's mind. Today is the first day of the rise of Wandering Badger.

............

The Wandering Badger tribe is warm and hospitable, and slaughters sheep every day just for the surrounding tribes. This is one of Black Eye's methods. After breakfast today, all the demon-loving tribes will gather in the open space in front of the camp. Black Eye·Wandering Badger wants

Propose a plan to merge to all tribes.

Facing dozens of barbarian demon lords, Black Eyed Wandering Badger loudly announced, "Dear leaders, I received a letter from Chief Gray Goose. He asked me to take everyone south to spend the winter on the territory of the human race."

A group of barbarians, you look at me, I look at you, there are cavalry from each tribe going to join the alliance.

But after I left, I didn't say that I was going to human territory. Everyone was very confused. Now the most important combat force in their tribe is not here, and they are trapped here. Even if they have food, drink and entertainment, the time is too long.

No one can stand it anymore.

"Lord Wandering Badger, we have all sent our troops to the south. Now those of us who are left behind are older and younger than the young men before. We can't even lift a knife.

Let’s not mix it up.”

"yes"

"We are too young to be beaten anymore."

"Yes, we can't go"

Of course Heitong knew the little Jiujiu in the hearts of these barbarians, and deliberately asked loudly, "How could it be possible? Aren't you all elites in your respective tribes? How can you be unable to defeat them?"

"Master Wandering Badger, you don't know that although we haven't had any wars in recent years, the population has increased, and the consumption of other people eating horse chews has also increased! We old people usually don't dare to eat enough, so we have to give up food to

Those boys"

"That's right"

“We usually don’t dare to eat too much.”

"Really, if it weren't for the Zanyou Badger Tribe's treat, how could we dare to eat freely?"

All the barbarians were chirping in agreement, and no one wanted to go to the human territory. They hoped to live a peaceful life of grazing on the Benma Plain.

"It seems that everyone in the tribe is having a very difficult time," Heitong said hypocritically, "How about I help you?"

"Okay, Mr. Badger is going to lend us food?" Several elders in the tribe began to wonder.

"Hey, what kind of help is that? Let me tell you, if everyone moves the camp here, we will all be taken care of."

"Ah?" Everyone yelled, everyone knew what Heitong meant, he wanted to devour other tribes.

"That's what I say," one of the hired helpers stiffly agreed with Badger's suggestion. "We are all a small tribe, so naturally we cannot compare with the gray geese. If we want to fight the winter, we need to unite!"

No one wants to take over at all, but trust always has to be trustworthy.
