()? After two days of traveling, Su Qingchen and the others finally saw the existence of the first small tribe. Tribes in the Totem Empire generally did not station troops. This was different from the Lan Yu Empire. Like every city in the Lan Yu Empire, There are garrisons in cities, especially in border cities, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed.
Every autumn, the Totem Empire recruits troops and then launches a food war against the three empires. At this time, each tribe will send its young men to the front line, and other tribes will do whatever they want. There is no need for the army to stay and protect them. In history, human countries have never thought of attacking them.
What are the benefits of attacking the Totem Empire? Not to mention the cold climate here, there is nothing to plunder. The only useful things are ores and spiritual beasts, but those are all in the center of the Totem Empire. Once a lone army goes deep, the results can be imagined.
The Totem Empire has such a vast territory, let alone hundreds of thousands of troops, even if tens of millions of troops come in, there will probably be no return. Fighting in the Totem Empire, the strength of the human army will be reduced by at least 30%.
"Captain, should we stop and take a rest?" Mulei looked at Su Qingchen and said.
"I've been on the road for many days, and it's time to rest. The temperature is so low in this far north. I don't know how those soldiers from the Totem Empire can stay here." Ma Chao said first.
Su Qingchen nodded, then looked at Mulei and said: "Pay attention to the way you speak. Don't call me captain. Remember that I am the young master, you are the housekeeper, and Ma Chao is the servant. Don't get me wrong, otherwise we will I can’t go back!”
Mulei reached out and touched the back of his head, grinning: "Master, I understand!"
Su Qingchen nodded, and then led Mulei and Ma Chao to the tribe. The tribe was not large in size, with only fifty or sixty thick-looking tents occupying a piece of flat land. On the left side of the tent On the side, there is a small stream flowing by. This is the reason why they are stationed here. Where there is water, there is life. This continues to make sense.
Most of the tribes in the Totem Empire are nomads. Obviously, this is just their temporary foothold.
After seeing the three Totem Empire people coming out of the tribe, Su Qingchen and Mulei jumped off their horses and walked towards the tribe with smiles on their faces.
"Humans, welcome to our cowboy tribe. Do you need to rest in our tribe? We have delicious deer meat and delicious cheese here." A strong man took the initiative to greet Su Qingchen and the others.
"Yes, we will stay at your place tonight." Su Qingchen said with a slight smile.
"Our tribe can provide you with a tent and delicious food, but you need to pay ten gold coins. What do you think?" the strong man who spoke before continued.
At this time, Su Qingchen looked at the three Totem Empire men in front of him. These three strong men were a bit taller than the werewolves he had seen before, and they had an obvious feature, that is, they all had a pair of small heads on their heads. The horns look a bit like ox horns, which is a bit strange.
"Can we provide two more tents for one tent? After all, there are three of us. As for the money, we can pay more." Su Qingchen said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, there is only one free tent in our tribe. Our tents are relatively large and can accommodate three people without being crowded at all." The strong man explained.
"Okay, I'll give you twenty gold coins, and you can give us more food. What do you think?" Su Qingchen said as he took out twenty gold coins and handed them to the strong man.
After getting the money, the strong man enthusiastically brought Su Qingchen and the others to the tribe, and gave them a relatively large tent to live in.
Not long after Su Qingchen and the others entered the tent, the orcs brought hot nai tea, fragrant cheese, and some hand-shredded mutton. Although it had a bit of fishy smell, it had a unique flavor.
After Su Qingchen had eaten, he went out for a walk and chatted with a few orcs. Since Su Qingchen gave him twice as much money, the residents of the Cowboy Tribe were very friendly to him. Soon Su Qingchen got to know this tribe, which believed in His totem is the tauren, and there are only a few hundred people in the clan, divided into dozens of large families.
Originally, the Cowboy Tribe was a huge tribe in the Totem Empire. In the wars of the past few years, the soldiers of the Cowboy Tribe had been acting as the vanguard. Over the past few years, the population had dropped sharply, and their strength had been severely damaged. They had lost the power of the Totem Empire. In the end, the Cowboy tribe disintegrated and wandered on the plains of the Totem Empire, looking for opportunities to make a comeback, and they were a branch of the Cowboy tribe.
The people of the Cowboy Tribe are extremely powerful in combat and can fight against the Lion Soldiers and Tiger Soldiers. Moreover, they are honest beast soldiers who can endure hardships and stand hard work. In addition to having strong strength, they also like to raise some animals, such as sheep. Cows and deer, they have never asked the Totem Empire for food, they have always provided for themselves.
Su Qingchen understood a truth by chatting with the patriarch of the cowboy tribe. There is competition everywhere, calculations everywhere, and interests always outweigh everything. The decline of the cowboy tribe is because they have strong strength, but they failed to protect themselves and others. The consciousness of guarding against others has led to them being plotted by some big families in the empire, and gradually weakening. Their simple character is no longer suitable for this world, and their result is destined to be a tragedy.
When it dawned the next day, Su Qingchen called Ma Chao and Mulei out of their sleep, said hello to several beast soldiers guarding the tribe, and the three of them set out on the road. At this time, the spirit beast paradise among them was no longer there. It's far away, as long as they hurry up, they can reach the Spiritual Beast Paradise before dark.
The desolate plains, coupled with the extremely low temperature, gave people a desolate feeling. No wonder the Totem Empire attacked three empires every year. No wonder the three empires always only defended but did not attack. These doubts came to him when he came to Totem The Queen understands everything.
The boring journey finally ended when the sky dimmed. Standing at the entrance of the Spirit Beast Paradise, Su Qingchen's heart trembled slightly. The gate of the Spirit Beast Paradise was very grand, five meters high and ten meters wide, with walls on both sides. The wall is made up of huge stones. The design is simple, but it is very strong and gives people a domineering feeling. This is the building that Su Qingchen saw in the Totem Empire.
After arriving at the door, Su Qingchen took out his business license to the soldiers guarding him for inspection, and at the suggestion of the soldiers, each person gave five gold coins to gain the qualification to enter the Spiritual Beast Paradise. This made Su Qingchen a little depressed.
