48. Thanks for leading the way
As the Inuya continued to send back information, Rant continued east and north with his main force, with both fighting and annexation in between, and finally three days later, on November 1, about 150 kilometers northeast of Yeqi City, a huge tribe was found in the southern part of the main stream of the Running Horse River.
The tribe in front of Rand is the real heritage of the Grey Goose Tribe, this tribe is located in the west exit of the Grey Goose Salt Mine Valley, the tent area of the core of the entire camp has been semi-fixed, there are a large number of alchemical living items in the main tents, the ground is all built foundations, the roads between the tents are leveled, there are also many wells dug in the camp, and there are more than a dozen small tents similar to public toilets, which have special sewers, and the sewers are not discharged into the Running Horse River, but are discharged into a dark pond and used as fertilizer for the surrounding fields and fruit forests.
Yes, there are even dozens of acres of fields around this tribe, but the fields are not grown with cereals, but with alfalfa, beans and other pastures.
By the standards of Rand's hometown, this is basically a tent camp comparable to the city, with a well-developed infrastructure, but tents are used as housing.
Now that Rand had a large number of pack beasts and more demon lovers who had worked as blacksmiths, he recruited Albert and several knights to modify the large carriage he had obtained from the Eagle Tribe, and fastened the eagle statue with the Eye of the Magician to the carriage along with the 30-meter-high wooden pillar, which was usually divided into three sections and mounted on the carriage.
As soon as needed, the carriage was immediately carried by a wooden frame, and three 10-meter-long pillars would be joined to form a 30-meter-long wooden pillar, which would stand directly on the carriage, and after wearing the Mage's Eye mask, Rand would gain a 20-kilometer range of vision.
The Eagle Tribe's pillar has become Rand's scout mast, and the 20-kilometer field of view allows Rand to scout the situation in the distant camp without any scruples.
After two days of observation, Rand determined that the super tribe in the distance should be the main body of the Gray Goose Tribe, and the barbarian cavalry in it was probably close to the number of Rand's existing cavalry.
While Rand is keen to win the camp, Rand wants to minimize his losses as much as possible.
。。。。。。
At this moment, in the camp left behind by the Grey Goose, an envoy from the southern leader is reporting to the Grey Goose Priest about the leader's conquest in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Lord Priest, our leader is not optimistic ahead, although there are many of us, but when fighting with Viscount Lot, several of our steppe riders have suffered."
"That's natural" The barbarian priest, as a clergyman who is similar to the middle-level priest of the human race, naturally knows that the proximity of body size cannot erase the gap between fighting spirit and magic.
"Now on the front line, how many riders do we have?"
"We should have less than 300 cavalry"
"Well, it might be enough to deal with the old maned wolf, but if the dragon sends some reinforcements casually, we're in trouble."
"Lord Priest, please send a cavalry to us at once, and we will take it to support the leader."
The priest's face was heavy, there were now more than 30 Terran demon supporter slaves in the camp, and these slaves alone needed at least 40 riders to watch, so there were not many riders who could be sent to the front line.
"40," the priest began, "any more, and the camp will be dangerous!" ”
"But the priest, there are too few riders in front of you. If you think there are too many slaves, why not send them to the salt mines? ”
"No, then the balance of the salt mines will be upset," replied the priest, but it was evident that the messenger did not understand.
。。。。。。
In any case, three days later, on November 6, the messenger headed south with 40 barbarian cavalry to support the leader of the Grey Goose.
The messenger still carried the banner of the Grey Goose he had come all the way over, and when he left Roth, he had only four brothers with him, and now he was followed by 50 cavalrymen.
However, when the messenger had traveled 20 kilometers with reinforcements, he saw a strange camp with a tall pillar in it, which looked like it should be the Eagle Tribe; There were also herds of pack beasts in the camp, and it looked like they were bull tribes; In the middle of the camp, there is also a big tent, that strange tent, there is only one in the entire grassland, that is, the former nomadic badger tribe, now owned by the galloping horse tribe.
The galloping horse, the eagle, and the bull were originally the three largest barbarian tribes in the southern plains after the gray goose, but now that the three soldiers are united, the heart of the gray goose messenger is extremely uneasy.
Approaching with 50 horsemen, the messenger saw the gate of the great camp, where a group of horsemen rode out to meet him on horseback with a face mask and a feather crown on his face.
Rand slapped the reconnaissance mast on the face of the barbarian camp, naturally for warning, as soon as Rand saw the messenger with a group of cavalry out, he had already asked the left and right camps to be dispatched.
Now with an army of 30 knights and 100 cavalry, Rand was not afraid to face 50 barbarian cavalry, but Rand wanted to take advantage of the other barbarians' fear of the Eagle Priest, so he put on a robe full of feathers over his demonic armor, and also wore the mask and hat of the former Kansa.
For Rand, there is one tiger that can reduce casualties, and if it can reduce casualties, it will reduce casualties.
Sure enough, when the Grey Goose Messenger was still a hundred meters away from Rand, he dismounted with the cavalry behind him.
"Lord Eagle Priest? Why are you here with people from other tribes? ”
"I'll wait here for you," Rand asked the Eagle Priest about some of his assistants, who said that the Eagle Priest usually spoke little, but when he spoke very majesticly.
That is to pretend to be X, Rand is very clear psychologically, this eagle priest has been trying to maintain his personality, that is, to make himself appear solemn and powerful, as if he is really favored by the gods, so Rand must also maintain a sense of mystery.
"Waiting for us? Your Excellency, you agree to go south with the other tribes? "The barbarian envoy doesn't know why.
"Wrong," Rand spurred the flames, and the flames neighed, and the entire Rand horse advanced almost simultaneously.
"I'm here to find you," Rand said as the herd began to pick up.
The Grey Goose Emissary was alarmed, having experienced many tribal conflicts, and he knew that the other side must be the next one in which they dismounted and rushed over, using cavalry to suppress the infantry.
However, just as the envoy was about to mount his horse, there was a roar from the war horse led by the opposite, and the black-scaled horses on the messenger's side were restless and refused to cooperate with the cavalry on their horses.
The distance of 100 meters was instantaneous for the black-scaled horse, and the messenger who had just climbed on the horse's back saw that he had reached the front door.
"Thank you for leading the way!" Rand slashed down the Grey Goose Emissary, while the rest of the cavalry overtook Rand and dealt with the many barbarians who had not had time to mount.
The battle ended quickly, and the reinforcements of the Grey Goose tribe were too late to prepare, and most of them had not even had time to mount their horses before they were killed by the cavalry of the Rand.
