26. One day

Since the time crossing, unless attacking the barbarian tribes at night, Rand would wake up before dawn every day and carry out some basic exercises, which in Rant's memory was the original owner's homework every morning.

The Reserve Knights in each of the realms would have a morning exercise before the two suns, and in the past Rand training included running warm-ups, strength training, swordsmanship, and bow training, and in the rest of the Human Empire, training also included fighting spirit.

However, the magic turbulence on the Prancing Horse Plain is strong, and the gathered Dou Qi is likely to be dispersed by the turbulence, so the junior and reserve knights of the Prancing Horse Territory and the Roth Territory will not train their Dou Qi.

Rand's recent training has been with Rohr alone, not with the other knights, because Rand has to train every day for vindictiveness.

After running and completing 5 rounds of swordsmanship practice, Rand consumed a magic crystal, absorbed the magic power in the magic crystal, and began to gather fighting energy, first doing 2 charges, then attaching the fighting energy to the blade to do a round of slashing, splitting, and blocking, and then getting on the horse to do a few minutes of riding training. A magic crystal was consumed, and Rand's Fighting Qi training ended on time after 10 minutes.

This set of fighting spirit training was set after discussion between Rohr, Albert and Rand, and now every afternoon, Rand will take Neil, Dog Tooth and others out hunting, and the primary magic beasts caught in the water can open one or two magic crystals every day, plus the recent camps, Rand now has nearly 50 magic crystal reserves.

So now Rand starts 1 or 2 new magic crystals every day and consumes 1 old magic crystal to train fighting energy.

According to the usual view of the Imperial knights, the level of the knight corresponds to the level of use of Dou Qi, for example, the standard of a junior knight is to be able to use Dou Qi moves, and the standard of an intermediate knight is to be proficient in using or intermediate knights to be able to release more than 5 Dou Qi moves in a row, such a standard is corresponding, that is to say, as long as a knight can release 5 consecutive Dou Qi moves, he is an intermediate knight.

For a junior knight, even if he can suddenly obtain a large amount of Fighting Qi, if he does not have a certain level and proficiency, he will not be able to release his moves 5 times in a row.

In terms of the corresponding level and the use of fighting energy, Rand can already be called an intermediate knight, what he lacks now is a stronger body, more fighting energy and being recognized by nobles above the earl, the first two can be supplemented by demonic beast meat, and the latter can only wait until he returns to the territory of the dragon kingdom to ask the maned wolf count to canonize him.

According to the regulations of the Holy Supreme Council of the Human Empire, junior knights and intermediate knights can be recognized and canonized by nobles above the earl, senior knights, sky knights and grand knights can only have principalities and kingdoms, silver, sky and gold knights are certified by the Imperial Quanxu Hall, and legends and above are certified by the Holy Supreme Council.

After completing the Kryptonite training, Rand met Albert, who had not rested all night, and after talking to Rand last night, Albert returned to his camp to check the books for the night.

It is a "Legend Book", which is the name of all the gods, demigods, and legends, priesthoods and profiles that humans have come into contact with since the establishment of the two human empires, of course, most of them are good gods or ancient beast gods, although orcs are believers, neutral gods who have no special malice towards humans.

This book was issued by the church to lords above the marquis, so that the human nobles could identify cult beliefs that were malicious to human beings and avoid the territory being targeted by evil gods.

However, Albert searched through the Legends and found no one who shared Rand's view, and Albert was sure that Rand's view was not that of an evil god or a demon, but it was not the view of any recorded legend.

If anything, the most similar are the views of the early commoners of the Pure Tower School, but those views are far more radical and confrontational than those of Rand.

"Uncle Albert, you didn't rest well?" Rand was very concerned about the old people in Albert, Rohr and other territories, "You shouldn't be counting the long-haired sheep all night, right?" ”

People in this world don't have the habit of counting sheep when they sleep, and Albert didn't understand Rand's rotten stalk, "I don't need to count those long-haired sheep, Rand, in my opinion, now that you have reached the level of an intermediate knight, you should save more magic crystals"

"Don't worry, we have 50 magic crystals now, enough for me, Neil will come back in a while, and we will make the next plan."

。。。。。。

"Old horse leg, I repeat, we are a patrol of the galloping horse tribe, we have a total of 12 cavalry, and our tribe has 50 cavalry." Neil was talking to the leader of a medium-sized tribe at the moment.

"Our leader has said that he is willing to trade long-haired sheep or pack beasts for your Imperial Demon Keeper slaves.

If you change, we are friends, and you can come to us if you need iron, salt and food in the future.

If we don't change, we are the enemy, and the 10 or so cavalry in your tribe now can't withstand one of our attacks! ”

Neil now goes out to patrol every morning with his patrol, and now scouts the surrounding rivers to see which rivers may have magical beasts, and which barbarian tribes have new arrivals on the banks.

The tribe in front of him was the one Neil had discovered today, and it was a medium-sized tribe with less than 20 cavalry in it. As the contact deepened, Neil recognized the leader of the tribe, Old Horselegs, as an acquaintance of their former alliance.

The old horse looked at Neil nervously, he knew that what Neil said was true, the cavalry in Neil's patrol, he had seen several of them when he was in the alliance, all from different tribes.

Now that these people are able to patrol together, it shows that there is a huge tribe of gray geese that has swallowed up these small and medium-sized tribes.

The old horse leg didn't know if the gray goose tribe could compete with the galloping horse tribe in Neil's mouth, but he definitely couldn't.

"Neil, these demon slaves in our tribe were all exchanged for black-scaled horses back then, and you used long-haired sheep or pack beasts, did you give too little?"

"Can talk" Neil breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that as long as he could bargain, he could directly exchange these demon supporters, and more importantly, many of the cavalry in front of him were acquaintances from the time of the alliance, and Neil didn't want to draw his sword against each other.

"We can discuss how to change it, but we all know that it's winter now, and you can't support you by changing the foal."

"We can't feed or not, don't worry about you Neil, you just say you don't give it to you, right? 5 Terran slaves for 5 foals. ”

"This..." Neil didn't dare to answer, the black scaly horse was the most important treasure of the tribe, and he couldn't be the master.

。。。。。。。。

"Change! Swap them out! "Rand met Neil on patrol at lunch." 5 foals for 5 demon lovers, why not change. These five foals will not be able to ride this year, in exchange for five people who will be able to fight tomorrow. Why not do such a cost-effective business! ”

"Aren't we going to just kill it?" Rohr asked.

"That's right, let's kill it, we don't have to give a colt, theirs are ours!"

"Our galloping horse tribe is the master of the entire plain, as long as he agrees to exchange the demon bearer slave with me, I will be friends with them, this is what we set before, we can't say that the price is not suitable, I will rob people."

Rand said very calmly, "You have to remember that we want to bring order and tranquility to the entire Galloping Horse Plain in the future, what is order, that is, everyone must follow the rules, and I can't break the rules I set."

"Yes!" Everyone didn't expect that Rand would really want to master the entire plain, and now that Rand has proposed it, others can only execute it.

Of course, what Rand is talking about is only righteousness, and the real reason is that a large number of herbivores gather and quickly consume the pasture, and Rand's tribe now has to move their stations frequently.

For Rand, what he hopes most now is an increase in the number of demon supporters in the left or right camp.

Attacking a medium-sized tribe can only get a small number of Terran demon supporters, barbarian demon supporters will either be killed or flee unless they surrender themselves, and Rand can only receive a large number of demons and livestock, these are of course also very valuable, but for today's camp, it can only be a burden that needs to be protected by division of troops.

Rand didn't want to say it explicitly, although for the barbarian tribe, the needless demons were a burden, but Rand felt that he was a decent person from a high-civilization region and needed to have a higher bottom line.

Now there are more than 700 demons in the entire territory of Rand, and Rand has high requirements for territory management and many ideas, so every 3 days to call the knight chief in the territory, Albert, all the housekeepers, 1 or 2 groups of craftsman representatives, teachers, and hold a meeting together, the Rand management meeting is called the Territory Joint Conference, and everyone in the meeting makes a report on what they are responsible for, and then Rand mentions his own ideas, and Neil says where to carry out a new station.

If the steward or craftsman who executes the order encounters a problem, he can bring it up during the meeting, and Rand will give a solution or idea.

The joint meeting will not last long, and Rand is in a hurry to eat lunch after the meeting.

There was no contact today, and Neil met a new tribe on patrol in the morning and came back late, so Rand chatted with Neil, Albert and the others while eating.

"Tomorrow morning, take 5 colts, and call 30 horsemen and 10 knights with you, and ask him if he can exchange them at once."

"40 people together, don't scare them to death," Neil laughed

"It's just that," the others also heckled.

"Bringing people there is to let him know that on this plain, the gray goose is no longer the strongest. But if you can exchange, you still have to exchange, as much as possible, it is necessary to do it directly, there are more than 10 people on the opposite side, and we don't need to have casualties. ”

。。。。。。。

In the afternoon, Rand went out hunting with Neil, Dogtooth, and a few knight apprentices.

Now, Rand is consciously cultivating a new generation of demon supporters such as Inuya and Neil, taking them to hunt, sharing a part of the monster meat with them, exercising each other's combat skills, and letting Rohr give them separate swordsmanship training, and find experienced barbarians to teach them riding skills.

Older knights are nostalgic for their former families, while younger demon lovers value their current experiences even more.

Neil led the group to a river 5 kilometers from the camp, and on the banks of the river was a mudflow crocodile, a low-level lizard-like monster that was more dangerous than the swordfish in the river.

Lurking on the banks of rivers, this earth- and water-based beast can manipulate the nearby mud to cover itself and bury itself, and if a large creature passes by, the surrounding land can envelop its prey and send it into the mouth of a giant crocodile.

The mudflow crocodile is one of the few stable sources of magic crystals on the Galloping Horse Plain, and the magic core of the mudflow crocodile with a length of more than 4 meters basically has magic crystals.

Now Rand has a well-established method of hunting mud crocodiles, which are always on the banks of the river, whether in the water or on the river beach, it is difficult to deal with them.

However, once the mudslide crocodile is 20 meters away from the river bank, the range of soil that can be controlled is greatly reduced, and it can only affect the surrounding 1 meter of soil.

Rand would first use a reed basket to catch the swordfish in the water. Rand asked the demonsless to weave a lot of 2-meter-long thin baskets out of reeds, the diameter of the opening of the basket was less than half a meter, and the thinner it became the lower it went, with some barbs at the bottom. Put a few pieces of monster meat at the bottom of the basket, then put the basket into the river and fix it in the riverbed.

The swordfish that becomes a monster will not be less than 1 meter long, and it is irresistible to the bloody smell of the monster meat, once the swordfish enters the depths of the basket, it is difficult to turn around, and the barbs at the bottom of the basket will jam the fish.

Of course, as a low-level demonic beast, even if the water swordfish is only the weakest demonic beast, it is not an ordinary beast. Once you find a swordfish in the basket, you should receive the basket to the shore as soon as possible.

It is rare for a swordfish to produce a magic core, let alone a magic crystal. Fishing is done as bait for mudflow crocodiles.

Of course, if you hunt more than 3 fish, you will also bring a fish soup to the knights in the camp.

Tie the spear to the two swordfish, find the mudflow crocodile nearby, and pour the blood left over from the fish directly on the land about 15 meters away from the crocodile, and the hungry mudflow crocodile will go ashore along the blood.

Then I saw two swordfish tied together, the crocodile consumed physical strength faster on land, and the sense of anxiety increased, and after seeing it, it did not hesitate to manipulate the surrounding soil, sucked the fish and spear directly into the big mouth, and prepared to return to the river after eating.

Two spears naturally can't kill a 4-meter crocodile, but Rand will take advantage of the crocodile's power to release its magic power to perform a charge, relying on kryptonite training, Rand can now easily release a charge.

Rand will rush to the crocodile's side with a special spear - the tip of the spear is a previously captured rune dagger, which can channel Rand's fighting energy, and the spear pierces directly into the back of the crocodile's head.

The crocodile will instinctively roll over when attacked, and Rand directly breaks off the spearhead, leaving the dagger in the back of the crocodile's head, and turning away.

It won't be long before the mudflow crocodile that is pierced through the back of the head will die, and the crocodile's skin, flesh, and bones are very valuable, not to mention the magic crystal. In the absence of magic crystal supplements, Rand's charging and stabbing consume his energy, and he desperately needs crocodile meat as an afternoon meal.
