Chapter 129: Transactions (2)

Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction, and after discussing the time and place of the transaction, the atmosphere became very harmonious.

As the feast became more and more lively, Frodo the Halfling was very interested in the two centaurs, and Misheen, knowing that these delicious dishes were Frodo's masterpieces, invited him very warmly to visit the centaur tribe.

However, Su Lun stopped him directly, just kidding, finally a chef came, how could he let people run away casually.

After some conversation, Suren also obtained some information about the centaur tribe, as well as the orc tribes who were fighting them. The Samar tribe has a population of more than 6,000, of which more than 2,000 are warriors. The rest are women and children, old and weak.

Of course, this is only relatively speaking, in fact, the female strength of this race is also very strong, and it can be called a soldier for all people, and if it comes to a crisis, their entire tribe will take up arms. Moreover, this centaur tribe has sacrifices, and the number of sacrifices Su Lun does not know, but it will certainly not be less than three.

Compared to sorcerers, sacrifices are more suitable for the battlefield. With the right timing, these magical sacrifices have the power to turn the tide of battle on the battlefield.

The armor that Suren sold to the centaurs was not plate armor, after all, the price of mild steel plate armor was not cheap, and their body structure was not suitable for wearing plates, so they were traded for a type of chain mail.

The blacksmith shop in Zhenbei Fort has a hydraulic forging machine, and it is very easy to forge these iron armor blades, and the blades of these iron armor are also twice as large as ordinary blades, making them even simpler. With a hammer down, there is a piece of armor leaves, and with the abundant iron material provided by blast furnace ironmaking, the armor leaves that can be made in a day can be made into several sets of this kind of iron armor.

Sweeping away the food on the table, the two centaurs burped in a hearty state, as a nomadic race, the centaurs' diet can be imagined, most of the time roasted and sprinkled with some salt, or a pot of wild vegetables stewed.

The food here is fried, steamed and stir-fried, and with the addition of fruit salad and ice cream, which can be called a luxury dessert, it can be said that this is the best food they have ever eaten in their lives.

Once he had his fill, Suren began to talk to them, wanting more information about the wasteland.

"I heard you're at war with the orcs?" Suren asked.

"Well, it's a tribe of orcs who want to encroach on our territory. Misheen said. "We've been fighting them for a long time, but with this equipment, we're confident we'll be able to drive them out of our pastures once and for all. ”

"What about the strength of those orcs?" Su Lun wanted to know about the strength of the orcs.

"The strength is not bad, the individual strength is weaker than ours, but they are numerous, and they also have shamans!" Mishien said those shamans with a solemn expression, obviously valuing those shamans.

"Those bastards are using elemental power to wreak havoc on nature, it's a blasphemy against Mother Earth!" Misheen said sternly.

Su Lun also has some general understanding of the conflict between the two sides, nine times out of ten is that the two sides have taken a fancy to a piece of grassland, and as a result, they do not back down from each other, the orcs rely on the advantage of numbers to take the lead, and the centaurs do not do it, plus the two tribes have different beliefs and doctrines, the two sides are even more difficult to get along, and they can fight a little thing, let alone a large piece of good grassland.

This is related to the future development and growth of the tribe, with a larger pasture, they can raise more livestock, feed more people, in the wilderness, if you want to survive, you have to fight, fight for pasture, fight for territory, fight for more living space.

Through Misheen, Suren also knows some information about the surrounding wasteland, there is also a tribe of trolls to the north of the centaur tribe, and to the south of the Hongsha River, there is also a swamp where some lizardmen tribes live, and these centaurs don't know how far away.

In fact, the tribes that the centaurs told Suren were all large tribes, and there were many smaller tribes in this wasteland, and there were so many of them that they didn't know when they were annexed, so no one counted them.

.....

After sending the envoy of the centaur tribe away, it was already evening, and the two sides agreed to trade after a while, and it happened that the armor here in Suren would also take a few days to prepare. After this transaction, Suren had three hundred horses and a hundred longbows, and both cavalry and archers could be on the agenda.

When we arrived at the barracks, the recruits in the camp were still training, twenty archers were training their arm strength, twenty pikemen were holding wooden guns and stabbing at the straw men, and Sheriff Harrison was also training the soldiers of the vigilantes.

"Harrison. Suren waved at him.

Harrison, who was training, asked the squad leader to take them to continue training before walking towards Suren.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

"Well, in a few days the centaurs will send a batch of horses, and you will choose thirty of them for the vigilantes, and teach them how to ride. Suren said.

"Don't worry, sir, I'll train well. Harrison was very excited to hear that the thirty horses were assigned to the security team, knowing that the security team only had two horses before, which could only be used to deliver news, and many times it was impossible to deal with emergencies in time.

"By the way, you can recruit some men among the outcasts, and then train a cavalryman. Suren continued.

Among the heroes in the territory, although there are many who can ride, only Harrison can train cavalry, and only he has served in the Florentine army and knows how to train cavalry. Of course, he only knows how to train some junior cavalry, and if he wants to train elite cavalry or heavy cavalry, he doesn't have to think about it.

"Yes, sir!" Harrison gave a serious military salute.

"Alright, keep training, and as long as you have done enough meritorious deeds, I will give you a reward, money, land, or knighthood. Suren patted Harrison on the shoulder, and then continued his tour around the barracks.

Harlinson, who received Suren's promise, was immediately overjoyed, and his heart was even more excited, and then he trained those soldiers even more ruthlessly, "Little cubs, haven't you eaten? ”

"Tell me out loud, are you men?"

"Yes!"

"Be louder, I can't hear you!"

"Yes~!" the crowd roared.

"Then give me the hard work!" Harrison roared,

"Look, this is chopping, let's see what kind of bullshit you are practicing, everyone will practice 500 chops today, and you are not allowed to eat if you can't finish practicing!"

Seeing those soldiers being tossed by Harrison, Su Lun smiled slightly in his heart, and then left the barracks.
