19. The nomadic badger tribe
On the playground of the Galloping Horse Plain, a team of knights was climbing over the mountains, and Dogtooth took the red sand for the first independent reconnaissance yesterday, and he found that less than 20 kilometers to the east, there were several camps that were very close, and these camps were less than 6 kilometers apart,
Distributed between the tributaries of the Galloping Horse River and the main stream in the north, the camp in the middle is the most huge, and it is expected that there are dozens of barbarian cavalry assistants, and with the current strength of the Rand, it can only avoid its edge; The next few camps are slightly smaller and may have opportunities.
Now Rand's courage is not small, and he dares to bulldoze directly in the face of small camps, but in the face of large camps, he must be cautious, especially if he can reach each other by running a few steps between them.
No matter how bold Rand is, he is not meant to take risks.
"Today's dinner is so interesting" Inuya was still reminiscing about the campfire dinner before the performance, the performance of the two groups of demonsless, although the songs were the same, but like the Barony of the Galloping Horse itself was a territory with a very lack of entertainment,
These demon-goers have nothing to do at night but sleep. Now Rand has brought them two things, one is to listen to songs, and the other is to attack the camp, which can be said to greatly enrich the night life of the knights.
"Yes, that song you wrote is really amazing" Rohr's mind echoed with that not-so-complicated tune.
"Great, if you like it" Rand is also very happy now, after the initial attempts, his song is considered a great success, not only the people who Rand himself asked to participate in the competition,
Even the old lords of the former barony, and the families of the various knights are also singing this song. "I think they should find something to do, not just wait for me to assign a job."
"You're right, we, the knights, are going to attack at night, but these lords can sleep," Greyhound complained, but Rand knew, complaining that they were not strong enough to attack the barbarians head-on.
"My lord, I think we were too careful this time, if several tribes gather together, it means that the strength within the tribe has been drained, and the rest of the people are just huddled" This was Dannett speaking, he knew the barbarians better than those present.
"You're right, if we were only facing one medium-sized tribe, I'd dare to fight hard now, but now it's several tribes. I'm afraid they'll run away, hahaha" Rand now showed some kind of confidence.
"Hahahaha, you're right, these barbarians are now the meat of our mouths"
"Yes, let's take away all the things they have robbed all these years"
"It is"
Several knights continued to echo Rand, but Rand found that Albert was silent at the moment.
Since yesterday, Albert has always been a little absent-minded, and Rand doesn't know what Albert is thinking, but hopes he doesn't have much on his mind. "Albert? What are you thinking? ”
"Ah?。。。 Oh... I'm thinking... wondering why these tribes were so close" Albert's reply was obviously not something he really thought, but Rand didn't care.
Rand thinks it's normal, after all, he always jumps out, for example, at the dinner just now, Rand is already thinking about the next song.
Finally, a few people saw this camp, they were in the west of the camp, the second camp from west to east to north, scattered 5 or 6 camps, the middle camp was slightly larger than Dennett's camp, and the surrounding camps were all small camps.
To the southeast of these camps, there is a large mound, which is hazy from the west.
。。。。。。。。
In the end, Rand chose the small camp farthest away from the central camp, with a total of 6 tents in a small camp.
A few knights were ready to charge as soon as they were ready, looking at their subordinates eager to try, but Rand was thinking at the moment that he had only started attacking the barbarian tribe for the first time seven days ago, and the scale was actually not much different from the one in front of him, and everyone was very nervous at that time.
At that time, he was even afraid of retaliation if the attack on the camp failed, and he had to pack the main camp and prepare to move at any time.
The dark horses are neatly lined up, compared to the previous only knights, this time Rand brought all the new demon supporters over, and the knight team of 5 people was added at a time.
The knights rode on horseback, and the black horses changed from walking to jogging, gradually accelerating.
The barbarian tribe's dogs began to bark, but not too loudly, and no one came out of the tent at the moment, and Rand didn't even put down the face guard from his helmet.
The camp in front of you is too lax, isn't it? No matter how small the tribe was, at this time, someone had to come out to greet it, right? Rand thought to himself.
Looking at the camp in the distance, the knights slowed down from slow to fast, and then from fast to slow, and when they reached the camp, they had to stop. Even when they reached the camp gate, no one came out of the tent, which made Rand suspect that there was fraud.
"Ambush?" Rand laughed and said, no, they are waiting in the tent? Even if you hold a spear against the cavalry knife that has been cut down, there is no way to survive.
Everyone ran three hundred meters in vain and stayed at the gate of the camp, and at this time even the dogs in the camp stopped barking.
Rand looked at Rohr and Greyhound, the two of them had never encountered such a situation, so naturally they didn't know what to do. At this time, Inuya spoke, "I'll go first!" Then he opened the gate of the camp and rode in.
Several other people rushed in, and in the face of such a strange situation, although everyone was a little inexplicable, they were not very afraid, and it was an empty camp.
Each of the low-ranking knights went to a tent and each found a reserve knight and a demon supporter as assistants, and the demon supporters opened the tent curtain with their sabers at the same time, and the knights were ready to break in.
Dogtooth took the lead, and naturally arrived at the entrance of the largest spire tent, and it was the demon supporter who was rescued a few days ago who lifted the curtain for him.
The demon bearer slowly opens the entrance to the saber tent, and the canine tooth is the saber ready to stab out at any moment.
When the curtain was lifted, the dogtooth saw a pair of frightened eyes, which were a woman's. The tent was too low, barely enough to accommodate a 3-meter-tall person, but it was cramped in the spire tent.
Dogtooth rode on the horse, lowered his head and looked through the crack in the curtain, and did not see any big man inside, and if he wanted to search carefully, he had to dismount before entering, but the tent was so big, and it was impossible to see it at a glance, indicating that there were no demon supporters inside.
"The people inside come out!" The canine barked. The other knights were similar, and there were no barbarians in their respective tents facing them, only a few women, children, and children.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"So, we're picking up a camp for nothing?" Rand now sits in the largest tent in the camp, because this tent is not very large, unlike the several tents that resemble round bags that have been seized before, this tent is only triangular in shape, the highest is only 4 meters, and the internal area is very small, and it is already crowded after a demon enthusiast enters.
"Yes, according to these demonsless, the remaining 4 barbarian cavalry in their tribe were called away by the nomad tribe in the middle during the day."
"It's actually gathered together" Rand felt a little big, if it was divided and attacked, Rand was still a little sure, now that the barbarian cavalry had gathered together, there must be 40-50 barbarian cavalry in the badger tribe, and he couldn't beat it anyway.
But now they had just taken possession of the camp and forcibly moved out, fearing that there would be no demons to escape; They left behind four cavalrymen who could return at any time, and Rand was now in a dilemma.
"Uncle Albert, it seems that we can't eat this nomadic badger, I think we will move this camp out tomorrow, let's go directly to the west to join the main camp, and then the whole territory will move south to avoid this nomadic badger tribe." Rand is a little flustered now,
Although it was smooth sailing ahead, it was all about fighting weak enemies, and before each battle, Rand would make certain calculations to make sure that the risks were far less than the benefits before acting. Now in the face of powerful tribes, the uncertainty is too high, and Rand is very unconfident.
"You're worried there are too many of them?"
"Yes, if it is not by chance that this tribesman was taken away, it means that the nearby barbarian cavalry is concentrated in that nomad tribe." Rand uttered a guess.
"All our previous victories were based on more strikes and fewer strikes, and we calculated with heart and without intention"
"Yes, but we have too few people now, and even if all the demon bearers are dispatched, it will not be possible to fight against 40-50 barbarians"
"Yes" Albert agreed with Rand's words, knowing that the current good situation was likely to be reversed all at once, and Albert had a deeper sense of mission for the Galloping Horse family than Rand.
"That's it, I'll tell them today that we'll move this camp early tomorrow morning, before that nomadic badger tribe reacts."
Rand looked at Albert, and even wanted to say that he would sneak away with the demonless here, but he felt that it would damage his lord's image. Now Rand has a high prestige in the hearts of the people, and he also has the baggage of idols.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Early in the morning, Rand was a little upset, the previous attack was so smooth that he misjudged the situation.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that they didn't attack the nomadic badger tribe yesterday, otherwise they would have really hit the stone with an egg.
Emperor Yang had just risen, and Rand asked everyone to prepare to set camp. Rand looked at the big mound to the south, which was dozens of kilometers away from Rand, but the mound was so abrupt.
Instinctively, Rand felt that he should lead the camp to the mound, which was more than 100 meters high and looked like a place where a large number of people could be hidden.
Just as everyone was busy and about to finish packing, a group of barbarian cavalry rode over from the main camp of the Badgers.
When Rohr saw the cavalry, he thought that yesterday's attack on the camp had been exposed, and he was ready to draw his sword with the other knights.
"Don't move, listen to what they have to say," Rand felt that if the badger really wanted to attack him, there was no need to come here.
"What tribe are you from?" The barbarian cavalry led by him came over and asked.
"The galloping horse tribe" was Rohr's answer, and the name of this tribe was given before Rand.
Rand was very afraid that he would encounter a large force of cavalry, so he prepared some information in advance, as well as the method of answering, so that Rohr and Albert, the two barbarian accents, could learn all about it.
"Did you just get here?" The barbarians pointed to the camp.
"Yes, we just came here early in the morning," Rohr reacted, and it seemed that he hadn't gotten dressed yet.
It was Rand who asked Ba to rescue them, and all the camp's belongings were packed, and the barbarians couldn't tell if they were leaving or had just arrived.
"Do you see the old camp here?"
"Huh?" At this time, Luo Er took a look at the surrounding non-demons, and these non-demons did not have any intention to debunk, "I didn't see it, when we came, we felt that this camp was very flat, so we fell down directly"
"In this way, we are the heralds of the Badger tribe over there" The herald pointed to the Badger's camp, "Our leader said, ask all the barbarian males of the surrounding tribes to come to the camp, and a few of them will come with us!" ”
At this moment, everyone is looking at Rant, intentionally or unintentionally, they are all waiting for Rand's order, once Rand has a clear order, they will immediately take action to kill the cavalry in front of them, and then go together.
"Excuse me, what did the leader call you to do?" At this time, Rand spoke, and he asked in a barbarian accent.
"Hey, what can you do, please everyone eat and party" The cavalry said lightly, but Rand and everyone didn't believe it.
The team of more than twenty horses slowly walked towards the main camp of the Badger Tribe, and from a distance, the Badger Tribe was the largest camp that Rand had ever seen.
There were several large tents in the center of the camp, each of which was the size of the main tent in the medium-sized tribes that Rand had won before, and there was a ring of tents around the center, which was considered a large tent among other tribes, and there were dozens of tents on the periphery.
Outside the main entrance of the camp, there is also a group of tents, several of which are surrounded by bonfires, and the bustling crowd is eating around the campfire.
"Don't worry, let's have breakfast first when we arrive," the cavalry introducer led by "Our leader of the badgers, Lord Black Hitomi, said that it is not easy for you small tribes, and there are not many grains and long-haired sheep, so I am afraid that the gray geese will not be able to come back." As the brothers of the Grey Goose Tribe, we of the Badger Tribe should help everyone! ”
"Oh, that's great," Rohr replied, "I guess a lot of people have already arrived, right?" I see how lively your camp is outside! ”
"That's," the cavalry went up a dirt slope at this moment, and the barbarians at the head pointed to a few small tribes in the distance, "do you see them?" The riders in their camp are already eating and drinking in our camp, and our Black Pupil said that we will slaughter a sheep every day for everyone! ”
"Great!" Rand said a word, and then began to calculate whether this nomadic badger tribe really had enough food to supply the barbarian cavalry of so many other tribes.
These cavalrymen ate a lot of food and had a high demand for meat, which was difficult for a medium-sized tribe to sustain.
If such a simple supply is not sustainable, it means that this Black Pupil Lord has similar ideas to Gray Goose, both of whom want to gather the resources of the surrounding barbarian tribes and attack larger tribes.
But come to think of it, I seem to be a train of thought, Rand thought, so don't laugh at others, you can just visit and learn from it, but I don't know how to get out.
