Chapter Seventy-One: The Wrangler
"Huh?" Mi Xin was stunned and asked in surprise, "Are you sure the horses have owners?"
"If there is any other reason to explain the saddle behind the thirteen stallions that are the strongest in the herd, then I can't be sure. "But I can't think of any other reason than to think that the horses have been subdued." ”
Mi Xin didn't mean to question Rose's judgment, and the question just now was just an instinctive reaction under surprise, and then she frowned and said: "Wrangler? The problem is that there is no city in this vicinity except Wanhe City, there are no more cities within 200 kilometers, how can there be Wrangler activities? Could it be a newly built city?"
"Maybe, that's hard to say. Rose is always so cold about things that have nothing to do with her, "Whether it's a wrangler or not, it has nothing to do with us, just lead the herd away." ”
This is exactly what the crow and the female leopard are doing now, and as the horses approached the convoy, the three men with sparks saw at a glance some saddles on the back of the horses, which was a sign that the horses were subdued.
Herders are a very special group of people in the post-disaster world, who live on the grasslands, generally living in small cities deep in the grasslands, and subsisting on livestock. Every morning, they would drive their cattle and sheep out of the city, leaving the livestock to enjoy the fresh grass on the grassland, and at night, they would return to the city for a dangerous night. In other words, the range of herdsmen's activities is the distance they can travel back and forth from the city in a day, and once they exceed this range, no one can guarantee that the herdsmen will return alive.
Even so, herdsmen are still a very dangerous profession, and those who dare to be herdsmen are often low-level abilities, and the wilderness is too dangerous for ordinary people, and only low-level abilities can do it.
Therefore, the herdsmen are also an extremely fierce profession, second only to the mercenaries, and they dare to trespass into the dangerous wilderness every day, so there is nothing they dare not do.
Among the fierce herdsmen, there is a group of special among the special, known as horse wranglers, this group of people only target wild horses, tame wild horses and sell them to other herdsmen, which is a common partner of all herdsmen, compared to cattle, sheep and pigs, horses are more difficult to raise on a large scale, so when people need horses, they often can only find horse wranglers to buy tamed wild horses.
When a group of wranglers subdue the head of the herd, they will take advantage of the majesty of the head horse and slowly begin to subdue the other members of the herd, in order to maintain the supremacy of the head horse, it will not be equipped with a saddle, but the strong members under the head horse will be saddled one by one, that is, the ones they see on horseback. Every daytime, the wrangler will drive or ride a horse, live with the horses on the grassland, and subtly cultivate feelings in order to be better tamed. It is not known why there were no wranglers or vehicles on the horsebacks of this group of chasing horses.
There is a big problem with the herd of horses that have been subdued by the Wrangler, especially the Wind Chaser. They will still chase faster objects, but once they encounter a convoy, because they are used to going hand in hand with the Wrangler's car, the chasing horses will not completely overtake the convoy, but will advance and retreat, sandwiching the convoy in the middle, and the slightest mistake will cause damage to the convoy.
The convoy had deliberately slowed down just now, but the horses were still holding the convoy, and the saddle on the horse's back was enough to show that this was the herd of horses that the wrangler had begun to tame.
The crow does not want to move forward with the horses, not only because the horses are prone to collisions with the convoy and cause accidents, but more importantly, there are horses with them, both audible and visual, very affect the judgment of the surrounding environment, it is difficult to find potential dangers, and once someone tries to mix in the herd of horses to launch an offensive against the convoy, the convoy that is sandwiched in the middle does not even have room to take a detour, and can only let the enemy attack at will.
Of course, the crow does not want to clash with the owner behind the herd, the wrangler often gallops in groups of more than a dozen people on the grassland, regards the herd of horses as life, these people are very strong in combat and never reasonable, they draw their swords against each other if they disagree, once there is a conflict, unless they are all wiped out, otherwise the trouble is endless, but in the endless grassland, it is not easy to kill a group of wranglers.
Therefore, after discussion, the only way to lure the horses away from the convoy was to attract the horses, and as long as the two were separated, the horses would naturally not return to disturb the convoy. If the horses return again, it can only mean that someone is controlling the horses with the intention of not being good for the convoy, and the mercenaries will naturally respond, after all, although the Wrangler is strong and powerful, it is still slightly inferior to the unscrupulous mercenaries, and it is best not to conflict, and if the conflict is inevitable, the mercenaries will never be afraid.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and the crow and the female leopard joined forces to flirt, arousing the competitiveness of the horses, and hundreds of wild horses followed the female leopard to death, and under the iron hooves, the grass and trees broke and the earth flew flying.
"Strange. Mi Xin looked at the horses that gradually deviated from the convoy, and said puzzledly, "All the wranglers treat the horses as treasures, why is this group of horses not followed, let them run around the grassland?"
"Wranglers are also at risk. Rose explained unemotionally, "And maybe it will...... No, the horses are followed, and you look east. ”
Raising the binoculars, Mi Xin looked in the direction indicated by the rose, and on the distant horizon, more than twenty people appeared in the field of vision, this group of people was nearly ten kilometers away from the convoy, even if they relied on the high-powered telescope, they could only see an inconspicuous small black dot. Looking at their direction, it should be following the trail of the horses, most likely because of some reason the horses were disturbed and left behind.
"Raven, come back. Rose cried to the communicator on her collar, "The owner of the herd has followed." ”
"Yo, those unlucky ghosts can still be found. The female leopard's gloating voice came from the earrings, "I haven't shown up, and the old lady still thinks that they are lost and can't find the horses." ”
"Can't you think of something good?" teased the crow's eerie voice, "don't always think about the loss of the family, in case they die." ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Rose said coldly, "Come back quickly, or do you want to deal with that group of wranglers?"
"Hehehe, I'm not that interested. The crow smiled and said, "Big cat, give up the first place to these stupid horses." ”
"I've wanted to do this for a long time. The female leopard complained, "I've been running stupidly in front of xxx, and I feel like a xx." ”
"Don't doubt it, you just ...... Oops, don't do it. ”
