Chapter 037 Cavalry Young Horse, Wild Child Without Mother (Part 2)
Compared with the "chaos" and incurable embarrassment in the southeast of the kingdom, the situation in the west of the kingdom is very clear, and there is only one opponent, and that is the barbarians of Krorod!
If you really want to talk about it, there is an inextricable hatred between the establishment of Erathia and the barbarians of Crurod~
When Krorod was enslaved by Brakada, thousands of barbarians were shackled and became prisoners of the mages. They were subjected to endless labor, a living environment worse than the Gobi, and even dangerous experiments on living magic...
The scarred barbarians finally broke out, and Brakada's atrocities were punished by the [Ancestors] - they sent the [Immortal God of War] Tanan!
Krorod's uprising quickly received responses from countless barbarians. A massive "anti-French and anti-violent action" was launched in the southwestern part of the Entagri continent, and the momentum filled the sky. It seemed that the mages were really going to conquer the sky.
The city was overthrown in one fell swoop!
It's a pity that it's a pity for two things:
As the defense line of mages on Brakada retreated, and after giving up control of a large area of land in the central part of the continent, the barbarians were fed up with the hard life of surviving in the Gobi Desert with poor supplies, and began to open a second front to advance eastward.
The intention was to conquer the human living area that was still dominated by nomadic tribes at that time.
The large-scale approach of the barbarians completely shocked the nomads who had lived here for a long time. They panicked and sought the protection of the mage master. Unfortunately, the main force of the mage was retreating steadily on the frontal battlefield. How could they care about these ordinary servants?
These people only exist to provide more mage apprentices for the mage group. At the same time, they can also serve as servants, workers, handicraft suppliers, etc., but to say that the mage is risking his life to protect them... haha
~Is Bracada some kind of humanitarian and philanthropic organization?
Seeing that their "masters" had no time to care about them, the nomads felt the fear and helplessness called "freedom" for the first time... and great joy!
Thus, the prototype of human tribes uniting to save themselves was born! The direct result of this alliance was the establishment of Standwick and the rise of Geffenhart, the [Gryphonheart Family]! After successfully resisting the barbarians,
After the invasion, and even finally killing Tanan (The Mist) in one fell swoop thanks to a heroic display by Rean Geffenhardt, Erathia was truly established!
Of course, there are many reasons why Tanan died before the human nomadic tribes united: the stalemate with the Mage Kingdom on the frontal battlefield, the reckless opening of the second front here by humans, and the second biggest mistake made by Krorod.
——Cruelly enslaved the swamp people of Tartaglia!
On the frontal battlefield, in order to resist the power of the mage, the barbarians need a large number of servants to come forward and die~
In addition to recruiting a large number of wandering barbarians in the Gobi, Krorod also launched a ruthless invasion war against Tartaglia in the swamps of the Northland.
Not only was Tartaglia's slaves used in the main battlefield in the south, but in the second battlefield with humans, Krorod also used a large number of swamp slaves to build offensives or transport large amounts of military supplies.
In order to resist the mage, the barbarian slaves revolted, but in the process of the uprising, they became more cruel and cruel slave owners, using the blood of Tartaglia to build their own throne~
And this kind of atrocities finally made the ancestors who originally sympathized with Krorod abandon their attention to them. The biggest manifestation was that the strength of [Immortal God of War] Tanan, as the messenger of the ancestors, declined rapidly!
In the south, there was a stalemate with the mages on the frontal battlefield. Although the second front with the humans had a small advantage, it was making slow progress. Coupled with his deteriorating physical condition, Tanan finally chose to take the initiative to attack the east, first taking down the human tribe in one fell swoop, and then turning around.
Nanzheng and the mage show off!
And just after Tanan left, Tartaglia's slaves imitated their slave masters and rioted!
Such comprehensive influences finally led to Tanan's defeat...
But no matter what, it is clear that the rise of the Human Castle camp directly killed Krolod's ambition to counterattack, and also ended their heyday of rule that once expanded to the middle of the continent, and even directly "murdered" their leader
, the heroic barbarian king! The invincible god of war! Tanan!
The slaves in the north revolted, the eastern front collapsed, and the southern front heard the news and began to retreat in order to survive... The barbarians were panicked for a while, as if the sky had fallen, and the middle and lower levels went crazy~
At this time, in order to unite people's hearts, stabilize the situation, and divert the conflicts within the ethnic group, the upper echelons of Krorod fabricated the rumor that Tanan was assassinated by a human conspiracy and was attacked and killed by despicable and dishonorable means.
For these stubborn barbarians growing up in the Gobi Desert, losing, winning, life and death are still the second most important things, but if you use despicable and dishonorable means in a great and just duel, that is the most important thing.
Already! Coupled with the hatred that the hope of ethnic expansion has been strangled...
To this day, the barbarians of Krorod and the humans of Erathia are feuding with each other. The western part of the kingdom has always been the largest permanent corps area in the country!
But even so, every year, barbarians can always flow into the western part of the kingdom along all kinds of narrow paths, burning, killing and looting~
Destroy villages and towns, plunder food, massacre people, seize war horses...
If the reason why the southeastern ranch of the kingdom cannot grow is due to "chaos", the reason why the western ranch of the kingdom is also in dire straits is because of "severity"! The barbarian invasion is as fierce as water and fire, and it is almost non-stop for years!
The development of the two major pastures was difficult, and the central part of the kingdom became the main grain-producing area. The southern part of the kingdom was covered with snow-covered mountains, and the northern part was boundless forest... Under the combined influence, although Erathia was a strong cavalry country, its war horse output was not satisfactory.
For basic needs, we have to work hard to import them from Tartaglia and Aveli every year, so we can only barely use them~
The number of war horses is not sufficient, and coupled with battle damage, accidental losses, etc., the number of war horses that can eventually survive to retire is even smaller~
It is impossible to learn [riding] by riding an ordinary packhorse. It is only necessary to master some basic [riding] skills. Therefore, unless you are promoted in the army and become a cavalry-in-training, you will be trained uniformly by the military, or through other means.
In addition to purchasing smuggled war horses at sky-high prices through channels, encountering such rare retired war horses in training camps can be said to be one of the few opportunities for players to master [riding skills] in the early stages!
So when he accidentally saw the two old war horses, Liu Yifei's eyes widened~
After all, he still plans to follow the knight route that he is proficient in this time, and if he wants to become a knight, the sooner he masters [riding skills], the better! Liu Yifei even thought of a way to enter the knight profession faster...
