At noon on September 27, 996, the fourth son of Baron Galloping Horse, Rand Gallop, was enjoying the third day on the Plains of Galloping Horse with his people.

At this moment, he did not understand the consciousness that he should have been sacrificed as the fourth son of the small branch of the family; There is no remorse after the family has done too much in the private salt business, and has been retribution.

has not yet been part of the big plan, and fate is unwillingly manipulated; There is no territory patronized by the barbarians, and the despair after being forced to flee with the people.

Now he is teaching all the people to bury pots and boil water, dig sanitary trenches, and organize the people to bathe in different sections of the river in batches.

Before, because they had been on the run, everyone's attention was only on survival.

Now that Rand was safe, he began to feel the unbearable smell of sweat from a group of people covering him for days, not to mention that some people had to squat down to unload their goods when they found an open space.

Unable to accept that the upstream was relieved of the downstream fishing in front of him, Rand led people to dig several sanitary trenches, and then found the knights and demon supporters, telling them that if they didn't care about it anymore, everyone would have to eat just the taste.

Every demon supporter is used to being a master, so how can they stand this kind of grievance, and they have let all the demonsless use the sanitary trench according to Rand's request. Each household has a dedicated Demon Keeper who is responsible for overseeing the hygiene of all Demon Keepers.

As soon as Rand saw that there was a play, he continued to organize every household to boil water in a pot and drink soft water, and after he boiled the water, he showed all the people the water quality produced after boiling the water, and then made up a crooked theory that the fire element and the water element were combined to rule out the earth element in the water, anyway, he could not tell the people that this was a mineral salt such as calcium carbonate in the water, which carried out a chemical reaction under the action of high temperature.

Some of the people took water from Hebei to boil water, some fished in the rivers, and some bathed downstream.

In his previous life, Rand loved cleanliness more, but now he has become a demon supporter, and his senses are more acute than before, and he can't stand the smell of this human meat steamer.

He decided to educate the people about hygiene and teach them skills such as weaving, hunting, fishing, cooking, and preferably Braille.

Rand himself estimated that the whole camp would stay here for a month or two, and maybe they would be able to return to the galloping horse territory and organize a handicraft production or something in the future.

Just as Rand was thinking, two figures were approaching on the hillside in the distance, it was Greyhound and Rohr, who had come back from reconnaissance.

After the two returned to the camp, they brought news of the surrounding area to Rand.

Their current camp is in the southern part of the Galloping Horse Plain. As a plain with a length of more than 1,000 kilometers from east to west, and a plain with a width of more than 400 kilometers from north to south, there are long mountains as boundaries in the east, west and south, and the extremely wide Blue Moon Lake in the north.

In the middle of the plain, a galloping horse river with extensive tributaries flows from west to east and brings with it multiple tributaries from north to south.

The main channel of the Galloping Horse River divides the plain into two parts in the north and south, the tributaries in the north and the Blue Moon River have many intersections, and the dense water network makes it rich in pack animals, while the southern plain has only a few rivers, and the relatively intact grassland is rich in war horses, especially the grassland in the middle, which produces a kind of black BMW, the horse's hair is like scales, and the horse's hooves can condense the wind element.

When the Galloping Horse Kingdom was still in existence, such horses were called black-scaled horses, and there would be a leader of a low-level demonic beast in a group of black-scaled horses, and the group of black-scaled horses with the leader could perform a group of wind magic acceleration like a phalanx of knights.

The leader of the Monster Horse of the herd is called the Night Kir by the Galloping Horse People, and is also the source of the name of the Night Kirk City: lead the entire country forward like the leader of the herd.

Rohr and Greyhound first reconnoitred westward, explored for more than a dozen kilometers and then headed north, then along a tributary of the Galloping Horse River all the way east, and about 10 kilometers east of the Rand camp, they found a small barbarian camp.

According to Rohr's judgment, the total number of barbarians in this camp should be 20-30 people, that is, there are about 4-6 demon supporters, and ordinary barbarians have the level of intermediate knights, in other words, the 200 people and 18 demon supporters in Rand together should not be able to deal with this tribe.

Rand sat on the grass, watching the fish soup bubbling in the pot in the distance, while considering the information brought by Rohr and the Greyhound.

He has not been in this world for more than 7 days, and now he has changed places 3 times.

Now Rand is very frustrated, how can it be crossed, the plot of the crossing is either worn on the prince, and by the way, he saved the young and beautiful witch; Otherwise, it is worn on the shield warrior and follows the army to fight; Some of them penetrated into the body of the legendary knight and directly opened the coffin.

How did you get to the time when you crossed by yourself, the starting base was ended, and you had to be a livestock, and you had to go to the battlefield, and whoever came could pick yourself up.

"Where is that camp, you take me there, I also want to see what the barbarian camp is like" Rand didn't like to run anymore, he wanted to see if his little centaur could take the initiative to fight with the small barbarian tribe.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

For a black-scaled horse, ten kilometers is not a long time. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the bottom of a hillside, and with the help of the concealment of the hillside, they reconnoitred from a distance.

A small barbarian tribe generally consists of 10-20 tents, with at least one of the main tents inhabiting the tribe's leader and family, one tent for moisture and sun protection, one tent for the non-demon slaves, and the other tents for the common demon lovers and their own families.

The barbarians will maintain the number of pack beasts, so that the camp can be opened at any time, because of the superior performance and temperament of the black-scaled horses, each barbarian demon supporter generally only raises a batch of black-scaled horses, and the newly born ponies in the summer, after reaching adulthood in the following spring, will be exchanged out.

In addition to horses and pack animals, the barbarians will also raise some long-haired sheep, the smallest tribes will also raise dozens, few barbarian tribes will weave wool, and most tribes will directly use fur to keep warm.

From a certain point of view, if there is no abnormal weather on the Galloping Horse Plain, the barbarian life is more comfortable than that of the Terran peasants, but the barbarians on the Galloping Horse Plain will face mosquito plagues, wind disasters, white plagues, and floods.

When these disasters come, the nomadic economy of the barbarian tribes will face collapse, and if it is a large-scale climate disaster, there will be a phenomenon of large groups of tribes gathering to move south to the dragon kingdom.

The Galloping Plain in 996 has a pleasant climate and a beautiful wind.

Rand and Greyhound and Rohr found the small tribe, which had 12 tents and a reed-woven hedge enclosing dozens of sheep, and there were many people in the camp, but it was impossible to know how many there were.

Rand asked the greyhound if the red sand could count, and the greyhound said yes.

Red Sand is not a very big dog, but it is very intelligent, and its shiny fur reflects red light in the sun, so it is called Red Sand.

It didn't take a few minutes for Red Sand to return, and when he returned, he told them that this small tribe had 10 horses, in other words, there were at least 10 barbarian demon lovers in this tribe.

Rand guessed that he might be on the run.

Not long after, though, Rohr said a word, and Redsand told him that there were a few black-scaled horses that were this year's cubs.

Although it is unclear how Red Sand communicates with Greyhound, 3 or 4 of the 10 horses are young horses, which also reduces the pressure on Rand a lot.

On the way back to the camp, Rand consulted with a few knights about a sneak attack at night?

"I think it's feasible, it stands to reason that if it's a powerful barbarian, you can already find the red sand just now" It was the greyhound who spoke, he obviously agreed with Rand's idea "There is no movement so far, it means that there is not much power in the barbarian camp, we can try"

"Your attempt is a big adventure," Rohr couldn't accept to take a risk with Rand.

"We've been taking risks, since my father went to the Galloping Horse Plains to scout, that time I didn't take risks, now the territory is gone, if I don't move the territory, it will be discovered by barbarians or demonic beasts now." Randt thinks more importantly that he is now finally able to take the initiative and choose to attack or divert, so he wants to use that initiative to create opportunities.

"Then let's go, you go back and take the people to move first," Rohr said

"No, Albert will take them and I'll go with you.

When my father found out that the Galloping Horse Territory was in danger, he chose to take our family into the Galloping Plain, even if they were ambushed, the Galloping Horse nobles could not retreat because of timidity.

Don't forget, I'm a galloping horse! Rand was adamant. Of course, more importantly, he wanted to take a look at his current strength, including the level of his water and territory.

To Lan's surprise, Albert was very supportive of Rand's expedition, not only that, but Albert decided to go with him, "You are the acting lord of the Baron of the Galloping Horse, I am not only your scholar, but also a member of the Galloping Horse family, I will not retreat at such a time"

Albert's words touched Lant very much, what he didn't know was that Albert missed a barbarian invasion during his studies in the imperial capital 20 years ago, which caused Albert to return to the territory of the galloping horses, and the former baron of the galloping horses had been killed in battle for 4 years, so Albert has not been able to forgive himself.

Since then, Albert, as a scholar of the territory, has never missed every expedition or retreat of his family.

After much negotiation, Rand decided to launch a sneak attack at night, and although the night in Alivia was brighter, the barbarians also needed to rest. Once again, the benefits of owning a watch are that they don't have to judge the time based on the phases of the moon, but look directly at the watch.

At 7:30 p.m., Volker and the six Demon Charmers packed up everything again with the rest of the camp and were ready to evacuate.

As early as the afternoon, the knights walked 30 kilometers east together, set up a spare camp, and specially found a demon supporter to carry the message, as long as the attack did not go well, the messenger immediately returned to the camp, and asked Volcker to move to the new camp with everyone.

Rand and the others lured the barbarian tribesmen's cavalry westward, in the opposite direction of the camp, and it was agreed that if problems arose, Rand would make at least three days or so of detours before finally returning to a new camp.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the three bright moons gradually rose, and Rand and the five knights came to the place where they observed the barbarians in the afternoon.

Most barbarian tribes have dogs, and when strangers approach, they will bark wildly, which will make the barbarians suspicious. Therefore, Rand believes that once the attack is the final blow, there is no way to have too much tactical space.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, there was no movement in the barbarian camp at all, and Rohr felt that it was almost enough, and Rand gave everyone a few pieces of bread to replenish their strength.

At 1 a.m. on September 28, Rand rode on horseback with four other knights and three apprentices, and gradually approached the camp in a row.

Three rounds of moonlight fell on the grass, and at this moment the galloping plain was silent.

Seven riders move at a low speed up the hill, starting with a brisk walk and a jog at the bottom of the hill, less than a kilometer away to help the horses accelerate.

The tents in the distance grew taller, and at least as they approached 200 meters, the dogs in the barbarian camp began to bark. At this moment, the knights involuntarily accelerated.

The barking of the dog at 100 meters was even worse, and there was a barbarian who couldn't stand it, except for the tent, but when he looked in the direction of the dog's barking, Rand and a few others directly split the fence and rushed in.

Every knight in the realm had a spear, a saber, at least two throwing axes, and a round shield, except for the greyhound who still wielded a bow and arrow, and Rohr had his own throwing knife.

Although there are a lot of weapons, everyone comes out this time with swords. Rohr said that this slashing weapon was suitable for the barbarians who did not come and rode horses.

Although Rand rode his horse for many days during the migration, when it was time to attack on horseback, Rand even felt that it was the excited black horse that was dragging him to charge.

Facing the barbarian fence, his horse did not hesitate, and jumped directly over it, and the unprepared Rand felt that he was almost thrown backwards.

Rand adjusted his posture as the horse fell, and the saber in his right hand slashed down the barbarians who came out of the tent to inspect.

The battle lasted about 10 minutes, with Rand and Kaul splitting four barbarians in the first 3 minutes, and the next 6 minutes, they found the fifth barbarian in the camp and eliminated it.

The knights' attack went more smoothly than they expected, and it was one thing to have a mental calculation or not, and it was another thing that there were very few demon supporters in the barbarian camp.

After the attack was completed, Rand and the others called out all the demonless people in the camp and declared themselves the masters of the camp. Then tell the herald to move all the people to the camp tomorrow.

Rand knew that if he asked a few demon supporters to move over with their own people, there should be a lot of people.

But if a few of them moved to their original camp with the barbarian demonsless, then I don't know how many people will be left.

Rand tied up the 30 demonsless men in the barbarian camp in groups of 10 and told them to kill the whole group if one of them was missing one person at night.

In fact, Rand's idea is completely superfluous, without the demon supporters, the demonsless will not be able to gain a foothold on the galloping horse plain at all, even if they flee to other tribes, they will be slaves.

The demons-free believe that staying is also a slave, and running everywhere is also a slave, and there is no need to run again.
