The wind whirled and blew in the sky like the whistling of a ghost.

The snow covered the light, and it was white as far as the eye could see.

While Li De was thinking, Castro's figure suddenly slowed down a little.

"Master, below is the Iron Hoof Tribe......"

Like a thunderbolt, Li De's contemplation was interrupted by a sound, and he looked down sideways, and suddenly a wide complex of buildings appeared in his eyes.

You can't even see the edge in the sky, and most of the houses here are only one story but they don't appear low, and the snow is piling up like steamed buns on the houses.

In the criss-crossing streets, only sparse centaurs sweep away the snow, and pedestrians are close to none.

It's exactly like a human city - except for the lack of walls.

I haven't been here for more than a year, and the Iron Hoof tribe has already been reborn.

After a slight induction, Li De quickly sensed Frey's aura in this complex of buildings that was so wide that it was impossible to see at a glance.

With a slight gesture, the remaining Castro immediately sped away towards the center of the city.

This giant beast with a wingspan of 16 blades and extraordinary armor was filled with a chilling cold aura in the snow and ice.

At this time, the centaur below also discovered Li Castro's huge body, which instantly caused a huge commotion.

Whining~

A fierce horn sounded, and then the whole quiet city suddenly boiled.

Torches were quickly lit in the towering turrets, crossbows were erected, and the centaur warriors, who had not yet fully dressed their armor, stepped out of the houses and barracks with their huge helmets, and the murderous spirit was fierce.

The longbowed centaur archer had already drawn his bow, and the glittering arrows were already aimed at the giant beast in the sky, and it seemed that the screaming sound of the arrows would erupt in the next second.

Hundreds of gigantic figures took off from a barracks, screaming like the whispers of demons—demonic bats.

But just as there was an alarm, the centaurs below were stunned to find that the magic bat in the sky did not attack the terrifying beast after it rose into the air, but surrounded it and escorted it.

When some centaurs saw this scene, they suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shouted for the centaurs to put down their bows and crossbows.

"That's the City Lord of Kachar!! Hand of Glory of the Ironhoof Tribe! ”

If the title of Lord of Cachar is unfamiliar to many centaurs, the glorious title of Hand of Glory, which symbolizes the strongest warrior of the centaur tribe, is unknown to everyone.

As more and more centaurs confirmed that the beast in the sky belonged to the man who had conquered them, the original vigilance began to dissipate, and the open crossbow slowly retracted.

Led by the Demon Whispering Bat Swarm, Li De landed in the barracks where they had landed and landed.

By the time he stepped out of the crowd of demonic bats, he had already found Sam Ironhoof, the level 15 Ironhoof tribal chieftain, and level 15 second-generation blood Frey greeting him at the barracks gate.

The moment he saw Li De, the centaur chieftain, who was as tall as 3.5 blades and as strong as a towering tree, stepped forward, plunged a hard long-handled battle axe into the ground, and saluted with his right hand against his chest.

"Good day, honorable Hand of Glory, mighty Lord of Kachar, welcome to the Ironhoof Tribe......"

"Welcome, Hand of Glory"

Behind them, a dozen or so strong centaurs with a height of 3 blades followed their chief in beating their chests, and their high-pitched voices echoed through the surrounding streets, attracting the curious gaze of countless centaurs.

At this time, Frey, who was wearing a black mage robe, also stepped forward gracefully, and this somewhat arrogant second-generation bloodline slightly stroked his chest and bowed, "Good day, Your Majesty." ”

Li De looked at this scene and bowed slightly, and looked at Sam with a smile, "Chief Sam, I haven't seen you for many days, it seems that the Ironhoof tribe is developing very well at present......"

Although the Ironhoof tribe has essentially become a part of Daybreaker, and Frey is the ruler here, at least on the surface, the Ironhoof tribe is still independent, just like the lion tribe in the Dwarven Valley.

"Lord of Kachar, it's all because of your support......"

Sam lowered his stance, the centaur knew where the Ironhoof Tribe was doing.

In fact, as the City of Dawn had grown in control over the low hills, he had long since lost his mind.

The former City of Dawn was no longer something they could defend against, and the scene of the 20,000 centaur warriors of the Black Wind Tribe being washed by the Demon Whisper Bat with alchemy bombs, and finally being devoured by hundreds of thousands of killing bats controlled by the Blood Mage still remains in his mind.

Not to mention the City of Dawn, which is now much better.

"Chief Sam, you are a smart man, and your wise choice has kept the Ironhoof alive alive and you have won tomorrow.

Believe me, as long as you follow in the footsteps of Daybreaker, then in the future, the Ironhoof Tribe will not disappear, but will become even stronger. ”

Li De's eyes were like torches, and he stared at the centaur leaders of the Iron Hoof tribe with burning eyes, and his tone was full of confidence and domineering.

"This is my assurance, Kachar's assurance."

Sam's expression was a little excited, "Lord of Cachar, the Ironhoof Tribe will follow in your footsteps. ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the crowd, and one of the old centaurs, who looked like Sam Seven, nodded with a complicated face.

Then Sam took a deep breath, seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and in Li De's somewhat surprised expression, he stepped forward a few steps, knelt on the ground with his front hooves, and began to swear an oath to him.

“oi... pf... nq... The great dwelling of the gods who control death and souls, I am your faithful servant, I am your most devout believer, and I am willing to use your power to make a soul pact with my master......"

Soul Pact?

Li De's face was full of astonishment, he didn't expect this centaur chief to be so decisive.

Seeing this scene, the dozen or so centaurs around Sam also knelt down in unison to pledge their allegiance, as if they had already discussed it.

In just a short period of time, Li De felt that there were more than a dozen wisps of soul power in his spiritual sea, and as long as he wanted, he could use these soul powers to strangle the person who took the oath at any time.

The number of people who can contract a soul contract depends on their own soul strength, and if the soul strength is not enough, even if you contract a level 1 apprentice, you can't succeed.

Li De is obviously not comparable to ordinary people, after a few transformations, it is easy to contract hundreds or even thousands of people.

"Rise up, Sam, your actions have once again earned you and the Ironhoof Tribe a future......"

After Li De finished speaking, he glanced at the old centaur in the crowd, and his eyes were very appreciative, there are smart people in the Iron Hoof Tribe.

In fact, if Sam doesn't take the oath, this time he will also use the power of faith to transform the other party.

The Low Hills were now more and more important, and he wouldn't let Sam, the most influential of them, get out of his control.

"As you wish, crown ......"

As soon as he stood up, Sam changed his tune.

With the development of the Iron Hoof Tribe, he had already sensed that the Iron Hoof Tribe was standing at a crossroads, and survival or not was just a thought of Li De.

Even if it were him, he wouldn't have let a bunch of uncontrolled people be in charge of such an important power, and even he had already started to purge and replace everything here with his own people.

Li De only came now, and he still felt a little late...... A true master worth following should be decisive and determined.

Pushing himself and others, Sam didn't think about resisting, but the power displayed by Daybreak City was not at all something that the Ironhoof Tribe could resist.

Even most of the centaurs have come to recognize themselves as belonging to the city of dawn under the rule of the city of dawn, and many centaurs are firmly opposed to war with the city of dawn.

His own strength is weak, his internal instability is still unstable, and there are even surrender factions, with a bright future on one side and an abyss of death on the other.

When Sam stood at this intersection, he quietly realized that he had no choice.

So when he came up with the idea of allegiance, it was unanimously agreed upon by all the Centaur higher-ups.

Loyal to an existence that has conquered the dragon and possesses immense power, the centaur does not feel aggrieved and is subordinate to the strong, which is the instinct of survival.

Only the strong can bring them a better future.

This seems to be a somewhat sudden scene, but it is the result of Li De's layout two years ago.

At the beginning, Daybreak City was weak and did not have the energy to run an Ironhoof tribe again, so it adopted the method of an ally to win over the Ironhoof tribe.

But with the rapid development of Daybreak City in all aspects, the Ironhoof tribe was naturally wrapped in Daybreak City, and by the time they found out about the problem and wanted to resist, it was too late.

After a brief but abrupt pledge of allegiance, Sam and the centaurs swarmed around Reid to the house in the center.

Most of the buildings before the Centaurs were temporary, and most of them were tents sewn from animal skins.

However, after Frey took over the Ironhoof Tribe, he began to build a large number of permanent dwellings, which greatly improved the living conditions of the centaurs.

After all, compared to houses that can shelter from the wind and rain, animal skin tents are still too basic.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to simplicity, accustomed to a good life, centaurs are naturally reluctant to return to the previous tattered living environment.

Inside, a wave of heat rushed in, and the sizzling charcoal burned in the fireplace, and the air warmed up a lot.

Li De casually glanced at the house, the house was made of stone and wood, although it was a little less delicate and a little rough, but it was stronger than a tent, much more practical than a tent.

There were no stools in the room, only neatly arranged tables on a thick carpet of animal skins.

The centaur entered the room and sat down directly on the carpet, with a table just in one place.

Fortunately, Li De didn't care so much, and sat down in the position of a thick animal skin on the main seat.

In front of the large centaur, he and Frey on the side looked a little thin.

But with his powerful aura, Li De is still firmly in control of the situation.

The deep eyes scanned the group, and the centaurs who were staring at him lowered their heads one after another to show submission, and Li De was not too polite, and went straight to the point.

"Sam, report on the current situation of the Ironhoof Tribe, starting with the number of people......"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Level 15 Chief Sam immediately stood up, and after saluting, he felt a little rude when he stood up and looked down at Li De, and then sat down again and began to report seriously.

"Your Majesty, the Iron Hoof tribe currently has a population of 87,000 people, including 40,000 heavy cavalry, 30,000 archers, and the rest are old and weak ...... who cannot go to the battlefield."

Sam's first sentence gave Li De a big surprise, he didn't expect the current Ironhoof tribe to expand to such an extent.

If he remembered correctly, the other party was originally just a small tribe with a population of less than 20,000, but now the population is close to 90,000 and is moving towards 100,000, and the expansion rate is not necessarily worse than that of the City of Daybreak.

"How did all these people come to be?" Li De asked with some curiosity.

"Your Majesty, War and Annexation."

Sam's expression of excitement as he spoke of the question, "The Ironhoof Tribe has the weaponry of Daybreaker, and there is no one on the edge of the low hills who can compete with us.

Our armoured hoplites charge a torrent of steel that no other tribe of centaur warriors can resist, our archers shoot arrows that can easily tear through their flesh and bones, but their weapons can't even break through our armor......"

"This area near the barren wasteland has been conquered by us, and all but a few large tribes have been incorporated into the Ironhoof tribe.

In addition, the reputation of the Iron Hoof tribe began to spread, and many small tribes took the initiative to take refuge, which is also part of the personnel......"

Li De nodded, a little thought flashing in his eyes.

"How did the other centaur tribes react to the expansion of the Ironhoof Tribe? Is there any movement in the Windy City right now? ”

There is an unavoidable point in the low hills - the City of the Wind, which is the heart of the entire low hills.

The large centaur tribes of the Mostly Low Hills and Hills are concentrated around the City of the Wind, where the land is fertile and has a much greater capacity to carry a population than the periphery.

If the Ironhoof Tribe wants to continue to expand, it will inevitably have to compete with the City of the Wind in the future.

As a city with a transcendent presence, the attitude of the Windy City can almost determine the direction of the Ironhoof Tribe.

"Your Majesty, there's no movement in the City of the Wind, we're still too far away from them, and the central area is far richer than the one we're in......

As for the tribes around the Ironhoof Tribe, they have been silent about our expansion......"

"Oh? Won't they feel threatened by the rapid expansion of the Ironhoof Tribe? ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, apart from our solidarity in the face of foreign enemies, there is not much communication between races and races, and as long as we don't encroach on the territory of those big tribes, they don't pay much attention to our expansion."

Sam's answer made Li De a little stunned, it is understandable that the city of wind is far away, don't these centaur tribes around them know that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold?

The Ironhoof tribe has grown, and the next target may not be them, they just do it?

He's a little funny, he really can't understand these non-human brain circuits.

But it's also a good thing, these centaurs don't react, which means that the Ironhoof tribe has more time to develop.

"Well, that's good, the Ironhoof Tribe can do more to expand the population.

Friends from afar and close to attack, treat the big tribes by sending gifts to trade with each other to win their support, and treat the small tribes to continue the annexation plan.

I hope the population of the Ironhoof tribe will double by the time I come next......"

Li De's eyes were like those of an eagle falcon, with a vigorous and pulsating ambition.

"Sam, remember the promise I made to you? In the future, I'm going to build a city for the Ironhoof tribe.

And now, I'm giving you a more concrete promise, as long as the population of the Ironhoof tribe reaches 200,000, Daybreak will use all its power to build an Ironhoof city for you on this land!

A city named after the Ironhoof tribe. ”

Population, or population, whatever you want to do must have the prerequisite of population.

Since the Ironhoof tribe still has room to develop, then continue to develop until the other party touches the ceiling.

Li De's thinking is very clear, no matter when, no matter how much power he has, no matter how much power he has, it is not too much.

Not to mention that the deity ruins of the city of Riesr may now undergo major changes.

He needs an army strong enough for him to drive.

The relics of the gods were too precious, and a few of them would be enough to make a windfall for the City of Daybreak, and even though he had seen the Eye of Chaos and Death, he would not be intimidated.

The faint-hearted do not enjoy the fatness of crabs.

And unlike in the past, the changes in the city of Riesl have attracted the attention of cults, adventurers, and other forces.

In this case, using the power of the Bloodline is undoubtedly death, and when the time comes, maybe those humans will regard the Bloodline as an enemy.

The power displayed by the Ironhoof tribe gives him additional plans, and the centaur will become another card in his hand.

40,000 centaur hoplites and 30,000 centaur archers, both of which are the ace armies of the centaur tribe, both of which have left a mark on the Lord of Glory.

It can be said that with this army, as long as the affairs of Lysle City do not develop beyond control, if a god with complete strength appears, then the power in his hands should definitely not be underestimated, and he can get a piece of the pie.

The layout of two years ago has finally borne fruit.

"Your Majesty, the Ironhoof Tribe won't let you down!!"

After receiving Lid's promise, Sam was so excited that he almost jumped.

"We will use our lives to fulfill your will, and in a year's time, the population of the Iron Hoof Tribe will definitely exceed 200,000!"

Build a city, this is an irresistible temptation for the Ironhoof tribe.

The Ironhoof Tribe was the royal family of the City of the Wind thousands of years ago, and they used to call for wind and rain in that city, but with the decline of the tribe, the glory of the past has long been gone from them, but because of this, this obsession is so great.

Owning a city named after them is simply an irresistible temptation for centaurs.

Li De's eyes were sharp, and he stared at Sam in a deep tone.

"My promise will never fail.

Shaman, get the Ironhoof Tribes ready, and there is likely to be a great battle in the city of Risr, the city now occupied by orcs. ”

Li De's words made Sam's expression darken.

"Your Majesty, the 70,000 centaur warriors of the Ironhoof Tribe, waiting for your orders at any time! Always ready to fight for you!

The Iron Hoof tribe is never afraid!! ”

The other centaurs were also excited, as a strong race of fighters, centaurs were violent maniacs, and now with the support of the advanced equipment of Daybreak City, they couldn't wait to try their hand at the edge of tomahawks and arrows.

"I will let the weapon factory forge higher-level weapons and equipment for you, and at the same time, you must prepare all the warriors.

This war may be more brutal than you can imagine. ”

Li De's dark eyes revealed a complexity that outsiders could not perceive, but he did not say much about God, and this information did not need to be known by too many people.

After getting vaccinated, I changed the subject.

"Sam, the city of dawn will establish a complete town hall system next, and all subordinate forces must obey the decrees of the town hall.

And I'll also form a subordinate department of the town hall in the Ironhoof tribe, the Ministry of Municipality.

In the future, you will be the head of the department, and Frey will be the deputy minister, and the orders of the town hall will be issued directly to you......"

This incident is actually the real purpose of Li De's coming to the Iron Hoof Tribe - to establish a unified command system and take back the power delegated to various forces.

In the past, he didn't enforce it, which led to internal forces fighting their own battles, but now this system is clearly not in line with the future development of Daybreak City.

He had to take power back to the town hall and implement a centralized system.

Whether it is a feudal dynasty or a modern society, it is very necessary to concentrate power, and the result of dispersing power is often mutual involution, and unreasonable competition is formed between various forces.

With power in the hands of the city hall, it can better regulate the development of various forces, balance and make overall arrangements, and prevent falling into the vicious circle of vicious competition.

If it was not allegiance, this would obviously make Sam disagree, but now Sam agrees more than anyone else.

"Your Majesty, we will resolutely carry out your orders."

Li De nodded slightly, and looked at Frey, who had not spoken.

"Frey, is there anything you want to say?"

"Your Majesty," Frey stood up and saluted slightly, his eyes flashed a little sharp, and he slowly spoke, "The chief of the Black Wind Tribe, the level 17 centaur Kou Guido, who has activated the Wind Bloodline, has already gained a foothold on the seaside, but his current development speed is far from enough, do we need to increase our support for him?" ”

"Guido?"

Li De nodded slightly, Guidor in his initial positioning was to use the banner of rebuilding the Centaur Empire to attract the attention of the Windy City and share the pressure for the development of the Ironhoof Tribe.

But now his development is clearly a little slow.

"Notify the Propaganda Department, send some propagandists over, and the Iron Hoof Tribe is also ready to cooperate with the Propaganda Department's propaganda work, I want to promote Guido as the savior of the centaurs!"

Li De's eyes flashed with a bit of amusement, the reward in the form of a semi-mission that he had received in the underworld before--he could get the Legend degree after escorting 5 halflings back to the Black Iron Castle safely, had not yet been completed.

In other words, although the 5 halflings returned to the Black Iron Castle, they did not gain Legend because they did not publicize his deeds of conquering giants in the Silt Swamp.

Coupled with the reason for Iro's crown, his conjecture has been verified - as long as outsiders are willing to believe you, even if you haven't done it, you can also get the legend degree.

He intends to experiment on Guido.

A second Child of Destiny is about to be born.

The player has been fooled and lame, and just doesn't know how the centaurs will react.
