"The horse's hooves fly,

The horse's hooves fell

Horses galloping between the mountains and the plains swept like the wind

You are in the middle of the river,

You are in the mountains,

You are in the grasslands,

You are in the midst of the horses

Now you are the year to conquer the Plains of the Prancing Horses

Our galloping tribe is under the patronage of the god-emperor Augustus VI

The palace and temple made of huge stones

Go forward and awaken the glory of your ancestors

。。。。。。。

You're in people's pens,

In the mouths of the people,

You are in people's hearts,

You're on people's heads

Now you are the year to conquer the Plains of the Prancing Horses. ”

43 Barbarian Demon Collectors and nearly 100 Demon Bearers in the Right Camp sang songs adapted from their hometown by Rand.

Today is October 20th, and in 10 days, the Rand has defeated 2 small and medium-sized camps and 1 medium to large camp.

These three camps brought an abundance of black-scaled horses, pack beasts, and long-haired sheep, as well as currency worth 350 gold, 42 pieces of iron armor, nearly 4 tons of grain, a dozen magic rune plates, and nearly 30 magic crystals.

Liberated 21 Terran Demon Collectors, including 5 knights, from these three barbarian tribes.

Although no small tribes are officially affiliated, several songs adapted by Rand have been sung among several small tribes.

The big tribes attack by force, and the small tribes conquer the culture, this is the attitude of Rand towards the various barbarians now.

In addition, the barbarians, as a race that worships the strong, have a natural reverence for the powerful tribes and the strong of the tribe.

Rand's tribe has created a succession of victories, and with each big victory, Rand is the first to charge, completing a breakthrough and a first kill. Let the barbarian cavalry see their breakthrough through the enemy formation, and naturally gain the loyalty of the barbarians, of course, such loyalty is not cheap.

Before each battle, Rand needs to consume 2 magic crystals to activate the armor and 1 magic crystal to replenish the fighting energy, so 3 battles cost 9 magic crystals, which is worth 90 gold coins.

If it weren't for the fact that when he wasn't fighting recently, Rand took Neil and a few people to hunt low-level water beasts in the pond, Rand would really be reluctant to burn magic crystals to fight like this.

Of course, this kind of battle is not just consumption, Rand felt that after every high consumption, the proficiency and frequency of using the Dou Qi move increased, and even the number of times he was activated after consuming a magic crystal increased.

In this regard, Luo Er believes that after the release of Dou Qi increases, Rand's own Dou Qi stock increases, and his proficiency also increases, which is the process of breaking through to the intermediate level.

After several battles, including the gathering of the remnants of the defeated tribes, the number of barbarian demon supporters of Rand reached 43, of which 35 were able to mount their horses to fight.

According to the traditional ratio of demons to non-demons of the barbarians at 1:5, as well as the estimation of the size of the traditional barbarians, the right battalion of Rand can be regarded as a veritable large tribe.

Now Rand's left camp has reached 33 Terran demon supporters, both the population of demon supporters and the population of non-demon people far exceeds the previous barony of galloping horses, 9 junior and reserve knights, 24 demon supporters, all equipped with iron armor and black scale horses. This team is also a good number in the Northwest Earldom.

The number of demonsless in the left camp has also increased by more than 200 accordingly. Now that the population is larger and the number of literate people is more, Rand has found more people to start educating in the territory. All the children in the territory are now divided into three classes, each with four classes: literacy, numeracy, physical education and skills.

Literacy is to teach all children the alphabet, vocabulary and grammar of the common language of the human race, with the goal of knowing the alphabet within 1 month and simple phonics in 2-3 months. Arithmetic is to teach children addition and subtraction within 20, and multiplication within 100 at a higher level, needless to mention children, Albert is not very good.

Sports are mainly exercised to strengthen the body, and some good seedlings will also learn horseback riding and swordsmanship with the young barbarians. There are more skills.

It mainly depends on what the craftsmen in group 1 and group 2 are doing and what they have time to teach. There are also craftsmen who take a fancy to some children and will also make these children their own apprentices.

More talents also bring more management problems, knights and demon supporters come from different countries and families, liberated from different tribes, and are not familiar with each other, and Rand's daily hunting also needs to bring the new demon supporters to carry out horseback riding and combat recovery training.

In addition, the Terran demon supporters could only replenish the most basic rations during their captivity, and the barbarians were extremely wary of the powerful demon supporters, not only lowering their food rations on a daily basis, but also wantonly whipping or allocating heavy physical strength to the demon supporters.

Therefore, before training, Rand needs to provide a large amount of mutton and even monster meat to the demon supporters to ensure that they can return to the combat level.

The barbarians in the right camp have a new song, and the left camp will naturally not be left behind, and Rand adapted a farewell song from the former life of the Republic of Erson Kislev, and let the women in the camp sing together, and the ladies' singing voices are tactful and delicate, so that the traveling knights have more attachment to them.

"Why did you make this farewell song?" Albert was curious, "I thought you'd make a war song"

"Every time I go out and look at Nila, I think of a melody, which is the earliest melody of this song" Rand's reason was made up, but the reason he wrote it wasn't made up.

"Our Terran demon supporters come from too many places, I investigated, in order to prevent the Terran demon supporters from entering the small tribe and connecting them in tandem, the barbarians will deliberately break up when they are placed.

As a result, our demon supporters come from all over the world, the sea, and the north of the entire human empire, and most of them are not even robbing the sub-dragon kingdom, but are abandoned by their families for various reasons and sent to the Galloping Horse Plain. ”

"That's right, I've noticed it too"

"So the question is, why are they to be my demon bearers?"

"What? Didn't we save them? Albert didn't understand.

"Of course, I saved them, but it doesn't mean that I saved them this time, they live in my castle and serve me.

But among our knights, fight with me, I may only be able to give them a knight's territory in the future, maybe not even a knight's territory, give them 10 demons, and let them develop a new territory with me" Rand said, "I'm just a baron's fourth son, one has no financial resources, and the other has no territory, maybe these people today are the foundation for my future progress, but it is also very likely that I will be here, the barbarians are dying in the south, and I will return to the south of Cornico to be my little noble."

"So what"

"It's okay, I'm going to give them a bond to stay in my territory, so that they can really integrate here, there are their comrades-in-arms side by side, there are their demonless families, they are not sacrificing their lives again and again for a lord who saved them once, but for their own territory and family" Rand said as he looked at the barbarians.

"I think that if I don't want to call them barbarians in the future, maybe I'll call them herdsmen or steppe tribes.

Whether it is the left camp or the right camp, I hope that they can truly identify with their identity as a baron of galloping horses and a tribe of galloping horses. ”

"Can this be achieved?" Albert didn't know, if Rand was ambitious or whimsical.

"No, you have to start.

As long as we make a good decision and keep winning, we can see that day" Rand is confident of this.

"Rand?" Albert hesitated at the moment.

"What's wrong? Uncle? ”

"Have you ever considered ... Let's go back the way we came... Barony of the Galloping Horse," Albert asked tentatively.

"Thought," Rand said the truth without being polite. "Every time I win, I think"

"Have you thought about it?"

"Of course, if I go back now, keep the people, expand the population, and increase the number of demon supporters, if we return here, maybe we can eat part of Rot's territory, or simply ask the Count to let us fight Viscount Lot," Rand said,

"But uncle, if I go back like this, and I dream of my father and two older brothers in the future, how will I face them?"

Tell them, I've fished enough on the grassland, I don't want to care about them anymore? ”

"No... We can do it another way."

"The whole tribe south of the Galloping Horse River has been swept by us like this, can they exchange prisoners of war with us?"

"This... They won't."

"Then tell me, what should I do?" Rand looked at Albert,

"What would they do if they, these barbarian cavalrymen who had just wandered around the Northwest Territory, returned to the Galloping Horse Plain and found that their camp was gone, their father and brothers had been cut down by us, the Terran slaves had been released by us, and there happened to be a new baron or viscount near the Rott Territory?

Or, on the way back, they happened to watch us go south and return to the territory, watching us ride black horses, sing songs, and eat mutton pots, what would they think?

Can we hedge against 200 barbarian cavalry? ”

Albert was silent, he had already thought of these things before he spoke to Rand, but he still wanted to try.

Rand is too dangerous now, his approach is digging the family's grave, and his ideas are simply pagan thinking.

In the thousand years since the Age of the God Emperor, it is not that no one has thought of recruiting barbarians and cultivating demonless people extensively, but without the protection of a big family or a legendary powerhouse, such an act will definitely attract the hostility of other big families.

The most unclear thing about the current Albert is what is behind Rand.

Is it an inspirational legendary or even classical demigod who wants to unify the barbarians? Or which ancestor of the Galloping Horse family has hidden in the magic net?

Or the Imperial Capital Pure Tower School?

Albert didn't know who it was, so Albert decided to test Rand once.

See what Rand cares about.

"Since we still have to run around the plains, what effect can we achieve by giving children intermittent lessons like this?"

Rand pointed to one of the children in the distance, "The first cobbler's child in the left camp is called the handle of a knife.

I remember when I first met him, his face was sallow, and he couldn't even understand a whole sentence, and the old cobbler had to take care of the leather clothes of the cavalry every day, but the handle of the little knife could only pee and play with the mud. ”

Rand looked at Albert and said very seriously: "For the little knife handle, the meaning of education is to recognize more possibilities in life; For me, it's about cultivating the people I need.

Let the children know that their life is not only about the sand under their feet, but also about planting, breeding, farming, weaving, and musical instruments.

If they know the written word, they can also see a bigger world, more possibilities, and a higher vision in the books, isn't that good for children? ”

"So ... What does this have to do with you? You are their lord, shouldn't you be concerned about your rank, family, and territory? Albert was a little confused,

He had thought that Rand might say that the Galloping Horse family needed talent, that the Galloping Plain was waiting for him to recover, or that the commoner class would get more resources, but Rand chose an angle he hadn't thought about: the individual leader.

"Isn't that unanimous? You see, when we first entered the Galloping Horse Plain, we faced the dilemma of food, the danger of barbarian tribe attacks, and survival was a problem.

Now we have everything, I have rune armor, knights of mine, big tents, herds of black-scaled horses, large swaths of long-haired sheep.

In the past I needed them to follow me and not fall behind in the migration, but now I need them to help me raise horses, skin them, make sausages, and in the future I will need them to make pottery, wood, and ironware.

I can give them a better life to look forward to, and I need more skills from them, and they're part of my territory, so I'm definitely going to keep an eye on them. ”

"You can let Mei Wennan do these things, you can tell him what you want, let him do it for you, or let me do it."

“。。。” Rand didn't say anything, but he thought to himself: Don't tease, I'll find Huck and them, and you'll take someone with them.

Besides, the two of you are too rough, Mei Wennan can manage the less than 100 people in the castle, and you can also manage the demon supporters.

You haven't figured out how many black-scaled horses and how many gold coins there are in the Barony of Galloping Horses, can I hand over to you the 570 people in the left camp in hand?

"How many black-scaled horses do we have?" Rand asked

"What?"

"When we left the territory, each demon bearer had a black-scaled horse, a total of 20 black-scaled horses.

Now that we've been through battles big and small, how many black-scaled horses do we have? ”

"This, just ask the groom"

"There are 101 horses in total, 81 of which are newly acquired after our last few wars, and 35 of these 81 horses are ponies born this year and cannot be ridden, and there are more than 40 older stallions or mares.

There are still 240 pack beasts in our territory, and there are 650 long-haired sheep in the original number, but now there are only 550 left.

In addition, we have enough food for about a month, and after a month, if we can't find a lot of grain, we will consume more long-haired sheep.

The pig iron we have left is enough to replace the horseshoe of all the current black scale horses 2-3 times, but if it exceeds 2 months, the combat effectiveness of our black scale horses will also decrease. ”

"You..." Albert could not have imagined that Rand knew more territory than the butler.

"You are not sensitive enough to numbers and territory, and I have higher requirements for my subordinates than other lords," Rand looked firm.

Albert looked at Rand as if he had fallen into the abyss, he had never heard anything like it, nor had he ever seen any other knight lord in the Dragon Kingdom pay so much attention to the specific wealth within his realm.

And now, the person in front of him no longer has the slightest reverence for the aristocracy that has existed for thousands of years.
