Chapter 24, A2 Tribe
In the past two months, the barbarian tribe 90 miles away has sent several waves of barbarians to investigate the situation, after all, for a barbarian tribe with a total population of only more than 600 people, the sudden disappearance and disappearance of more than 400 people undoubtedly means the demise of the tribe.
However, these barbarians who came to investigate the situation were directly exterminated by the patrols arranged by Zhou Mingyue.
After many times, the barbarian tribe also became honest and did not dare to act rashly.
They could probably guess that the essence of their tribe had died, and in such a situation, where would they dare to launch a war of revenge against Zhou Mingyue.
It is right to pray that the ancestors will not be targeted by the enemy.
As for the barbarian tribe of more than 900 people, it seems that in the month after the battle in the valley, it seems that it sent troops to fight a big battle with the barbarian tribe farther away, and it should have been victorious.
Because the Pegasus cavalry, who had gone out to reconnoitre, saw that the barbarian tribe had been singing and dancing for days after the battle to celebrate the victory, and many of the defeated barbarians had been escorted back to the tribe and became their slaves.
These slaves will be integrated into the tribe little by little over the long years, increasing the tribe's strength.
In fact, the barbarian tribes in the wilderness all do this, attacking each other, plundering the population, strengthening themselves, and after growing to a certain extent, they gather other barbarian tribes to attack the nearby human kingdom, in an attempt to seize the wealth and population possessed by the human kingdom.
Of course, such an attempt is more difficult to succeed.
After all, those human kingdoms are not easy to bully, as I said before, the royal family is basically the continuation of the blood of the gods, and the nobles are the royal family after the continuous weakening, so the barbarians may be able to gain a great advantage at first, but with the gathering of the power of the human kingdom, a large number of nobles have raised troops from the fiefdom, and the final fate of those barbarian tribes is to be beaten back to the wilderness.
But then again, even so, the barbarian invasion still hurt the human kingdom a lot.
Not to mention that the originally relatively stable social order was broken, turbulent, and a large number of people at the bottom had to abandon their homes and flee, just the plundered population after the barbarian invasion would make a human kingdom weak for a long time.
If you add to this the incompetence of the kings of this human kingdom, the corrupt ministers who pervert the law, and the nobles who increase taxes in order to make up for their losses, it will probably not be long before this human kingdom will perish in chaos.
In fact, most of the ancestors of those nobles were destroyed in this way, from the illustrious royal family, the country, if lucky, they were co-opted by the new king and became nobles, and if they were unlucky, they became incognito and became the common people, and after a few generations, when the new king did not chase and kill the old royal family, he relied on the power of blood to become a new nobleman.
What worried Zhou Mingyue the most was that the barbarian tribe of more than 900 people had expanded a lot in strength after this great victory, so they began to expand around.
Let's put it this way, in a month at most, the range of his hunting territory may be close to the valley, so as to discover Zhou Mingyue's power!
Fighting with a barbarian tribe whose population had expanded to thousands of people, Zhou Mingyue was still a little worried in his heart, especially the copper ore in the cave was close to exhaustion.
This is not surprising, geological structures such as karst caves, which belong to the lime layer, are not prone to metal deposits in the first place, and the gold, silver and copper ore discovered by Zhou Mingyue is completely lucky.
We need to clean up the half-crippled barbarian tribe as soon as possible and find more mineral deposits to accumulate strength.
Of course, the most important thing is the totem pole in the barbarian tribe!
That thing can improve his strength, in this strange other world, there is nothing more secure for Zhou Mingyue than improving his strength.
Although the War Demon Workshop can produce a large number of soldiers, it is not the strength of one's own body after all.
When encountering a ruthless person, it is difficult to say that the other party will not be able to break through the military formation, smash Huanglong, and give himself a beheading operation.
Take the previous barbarian chieftain as an example, if the other party is bent on breaking through the stone wall, can he do it? I can definitely do it!
Of course, as for whether or not Zhou Mingyue can be killed, that's another matter.
Three days later, the associated mines of gold, silver and copper were completely depleted.
No more mineral deposits were found in the cave, but another exit was found by the peasants, near a small river fifteen miles away, and the water of the pool flowed through the whole cave and into the small river.
Relying on that vein, Zhou Mingyue tightly scraped together 108 hoplites, 64 hoplites, 36 longbowmen, 10 heavy cavalry, 6 priests, and 4 griffin cavalry.
On this expedition, he took the hoplites, the hoplites, the longbowmen, the archers, the heavy cavalry, the cavalry, the priests, the pegasus cavalry, and left the infantry, spearmen, monks, and griffons in the valley to serve as a garrison.
Anyway, for now, although he took the War Demon Workshop away when he went on the expedition, the valley is his foundation for the time being.
The danger of the Savage is not only those barbarians, but also monstrous beasts.
As far as Zhou Mingyue saw in the wilderness during this time, there were spotted tigers, green wolves, rabbit bears and other fierce beasts similar to earth creatures.
To say that this rabbit bear is still a very distinctive beast, just look at its upper body is almost exactly the same as a rabbit, long ears, three-petal mouth, but the teeth in its mouth are extremely sharp, this alone can not be a herbivore.
Zhou Mingyue set off with a patchwork army, totaling more than four hundred people.
Compared with the reckless barbarian tribe, his dispatch this time can be called the information control of the whole battlefield, and the two Pegasus cavalry took the lead in setting off to monitor the barbarian tribe and pass the news back at any time.
"No movement from the A2 tribe? Very good. ”
Zhou Mingyue didn't walk, well, the two cavalrymen dragged a simple carriage, to be precise, a flatbed, he lay on it, although it was undulating and bumpy, but it was much more comfortable than walking.
He numbered all the barbarian tribes he found, and the valley tribes he occupied were called A1, the half-beaten ones were called A2, and the most powerful barbarian tribe was called A3.
Simple, clear and easy to remember.
It wasn't until about 3 miles away from the A2 barbarian tribe that the cavalry that opened the way in front encountered the barbarians.
More than a dozen old barbarian warriors over 30 years old are hunting a four-horned ox.
Due to the living conditions limited by the level of civilization, the barbarians quickly enter the aging after the age of 25, and if they fail to improve their strength, most barbarians will die of aging at the age of 40 or so.
Well, in fact, there are very few people over the age of 45 in the village of Iron Castle, and the barren life of living things will greatly reduce the lifespan of living creatures.
