Chapter 284: Centaur City

When he returned to the north of the town, Su Lun went to Centaur City, the centaur city was built in a large area, seventy percent of the population living here are centaurs, and the remaining thirty percent are humans.

Centaurs are good at breeding, not good at farming, outside the centaur city is a large grassland, here in addition to breeding cattle and sheep, it is also the production area of military horses in Zhenbei City, Zhenbei City now has six or seven thousand people, but there are more than 20,000 war horses. Now all the soldiers in Zhenbei City belong to the cavalry infantry.

Even some of the soldiers can fight on horseback, like some half-elves, who can already do it with ease. Compared to humans, it is worse than humans, after all, half-elves are naturally agile and flexible, and because of the presence of druids in half-elves, it is easier for them to communicate with animals.

Centaurs used to be nomads, but now they have become semi-nomads, with Centaur City, those centaur herders will return to Centaur City every once in a while to buy various supplies, the previous centaur tribe will have a large number of livestock frozen to death in winter, and there is no feed in winter, many livestock will also lose weight from hunger, every winter is very difficult for centaurs.

Now with Centaur City, these problems no longer bother them. Centaur City has kept out the wind and snow in the Northland, and the Centaur City has now popularized honeycomb coal, and the Lord's Castle Suren has installed underfloor heating very luxuriously, and the same is true for Centaur City, where all livestock pens are equipped with coal stoves and chimneys, and it is very safe for livestock to spend the winter here.

Don't worry about orcs or jackals to rob livestock, don't worry about these livestock will freeze to death, in the past in winter because of the ice and snow cover, cattle and sheep lack pasture, now Zhenbei City is studying silage, Su Lun did not breed cattle and sheep in his previous life, but silage this is still heard, but he is also half a bucket of water, only know the name and some steps, but for the specific production method is also half a bucket of water.

So I can only let the druids in the half-elves study according to the few information provided by Suren, and at present, these druids have studied some eyebrows, but making silage also requires the use of some natural spells, which is no problem for the druids, but it is difficult to generalize, after all, there are not many people who know natural spells, and not many spellcasters will come to do this kind of thing.

In addition to silage, Zhenbei City also provides a large amount of grain feed. Centaur City is inhabited by veterinarians, merchants, and humans who are good at breeding, as well as tax collectors, and all livestock transactions are limited to Centaur City, which has the advantage of being more conducive to collecting taxes.

Zhenbei City has now added another job, that is, wool collection, not long ago, those half-elves in Zhenbei City have studied wool textile technology, and now Zhenbei City can spin wool, silk, linen, cotton and other fabrics, but in addition to linen, the output of other kinds is not high.

Centaurs breed cattle and sheep every year to get a very good income, so these centaurs live a much better life than before, after all, in the former centaur tribe, except for the centaur chieftain can enjoy a good life, other centaurs live no different from orcs, salt, clothes, weapons, tea, pottery, wine, sugar, these centaurs can not produce.

Now after joining Zhenbei City, these things can be easily bought as long as you spend a little money, although the leader of the centaur tribe still has a lot of power, but if you let these centaurs betray Zhenbei City, the difficulty will be very high, and those low-level centaurs whose lives are vastly different from before don't want to go back to their previous lives.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, this sentence is not just talking, everyone has never enjoyed this kind of sheltered city before, there is delicious food, warm clothes, and their own property, which was impossible before, now let those centaurs give up this life and return to the previous state of hunger and fullness, the bottom centaurs will not agree.

This is also Su Lun's intention, his way is completely a conspiracy, even if the leaders of those centaur tribes know, but they can't blame or stop it, in this way, Su Lun is now firmly tied to the ship of Zhenbei City.

Su Lun has no intention of completely annexing the centaur tribe, but just makes the centaur a vassal of Zhenbei City, which is still good judging from the current effect. Misheen was still supportive of the change in the Centaur tribe, and before that, the Centaur tribe preferred to rob more often.

With four legs and fast running, accurate bows and arrows, and powerful combat power, the centaurs became the most famous bandits in the wilderness, and at that time the centaurs were completely reluctant to trade, and later they clashed with the orc tribes, who began to try to trade on a small scale under the pressure of the orc tribes.

In fact, if it weren't for the trade with humans and the replenishment of various materials, the Centaurs would have been decaying in the confrontation with the orc tribes, and of course, the Centaurs suffered heavy casualties because they were too careless.

When Suren arrived in Centaur City, there was a cattle and sheep trade going on. The cattle and sheep bred by centaurs are now monopolized by Zhenbei City, of course, after the number of breeding increases, this place will gradually open to other caravans, and the number of cattle and sheep traded this time is not much, and this season is not the time for cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.

"Welcome, Your Excellency. Misheen, the little mare, greeted him with a large number of centaurs, and gave him a warm hug.

"How are you doing here?" asked Suren after breaking free from the two towering balls.

"We're doing well, and just last week, we had a couple of new lives in the tribe. Misheen, the little mare, said happily.

"Thank you again for your help. ”

Su Lun waved his hand and said: "No thanks, after all, now the centaur is already a member of Zhenbei City, and as the master of Zhenbei City, I have the obligation to make the people of Zhenbei City live a better life." ”

"You are the best lord. ”

Suren was led by Misheen to the largest house in the city of centaurs, the centaur tribe did not have a chieftain yet, a group of centaurs sat on a mat made of linen and hay, in the center of the room was a huge bonfire, several cooks were roasting sheep, drops of grease fell from the roasted whole sheep, bringing clusters of flames, the chef was roasting while constantly brushing the sauce, this method was improved by Flodo, after all, the previous centaurs would only eat with salt.

Suren and Mishien sat on the throne, accompanied by a few humans, who were tax collectors and merchants sent by Zhenbei City, in addition to a dozen centaur heads.

Although the banquet was very simple, but the atmosphere was very good, these centaurs were still very satisfied with their current lives, and one of the purposes of Suren's inspection was to see the life of centaurs on the one hand, and on the other hand, to prepare for the official appointment of the archon of the centaur city.

Centaurs are different from Mirror Lake City, the north city of Zhenbei, the main inhabitants here are centaurs, and it is impossible to shoot a person to serve as an archon, which will make the centaurs panic, so the best candidate is Misheen, but in addition to the archon, more than half of the other officials in the consulate here are humans.

In particular, tax collectors, market managers, material warehouse managers, and even city defense officers need to be held by both humans and centaurs, and there will be a team of soldiers stationed here in Centaur City, only a hundred people, and these people usually maintain the security of the territory.

With these people, the centaur city would not be completely controlled by the centaurs, the centaur tribe is now an elder system, and at the behest of Suren, these centaurs began to learn the human language.

In this case, the centaurs of Zhenbei City gradually began to break away from the primitive tribal form and slowly entered the age of civilization, perhaps a few hundred years later, scholars who study the history of centaurs will call this the Age of Enlightenment of centaurs.

After spending a day in Centaur City, Suren led the team away and returned to Zhenbei City.

The construction of Zhenbei City is still progressing steadily, as soon as it approached Zhenbei City, there was a cry in the sky, Su Lun looked up, it was a team of ice wings about three meters or so flying quickly, these ice wings after half a year of feeding, now have passed the juvenile stage.

It takes three years for the Ice Pterodactyl to enter the youth stage, and he can only carry out riding training at this time, he is still looking forward to these Ice Pterodactyl Knights now, in the last battle with the Orcs, he had seen the power of the Orc Wyvern Riders, and if those Wyverns hadn't touched Alex, the three thousand Harpy Banshees would definitely have suffered heavy casualties.

Harpys can bully armies that don't have air power, and if they encounter a Horned Eagle Knight, Pterodactyl Knight, or Griffon Knight, they will suffer heavy losses.

The largest one in the sky is Su Lun's frost pterodactyl, after seeing Su Lun, this frost pterodactyl swooped directly towards Su Lun, the little guy flapped his wings and wanted to land on Su Lun's shoulder, but it seemed to forget its size, only to find when it came down, and finally had to land on the ground next to it.

Unlike other ice pterosaurs, the frost pterosaur also has a thin layer of dragon scales on the surface of its body, and although its defense is not as good as that of a real dragon, it is still much stronger than that of an ordinary pterosaur.

Su Lun rubbed its head, and then let the little guy play by himself, although the little guy is less than a year old, but the wurm also has dragon power, it is here that the horses are scared and weak, after sending the little guy away, after a while, these war horses recovered, which also made Su Lun notice the weakness of the war horses.

When facing the enemy's cavalry on the battlefield, it seems that you can rely on Long Wei to directly abolish the cavalry's horses, what is the difference between a cavalry without a horse and a tiger without minions?
