The two largest tents in the camp were those of the chief who went south, and the other of the old priests who stayed behind.

The old priest is now neither the most powerful priest in the tribe, nor the person the leader relies on the most, but the old priest is currently the oldest priest in the southern part of the entire galloping horse plain, and he is also the master of most of the priests, and every barbarian priest in the galloping horse camp was personally taught by him.

In the word of mouth in the barbarian camp, the old priest is almost omnipotent, from the gods that the barbarians mainly believe in, to the gods believed in by the main orc tribes in the vicinity, he will correspond to the method of sacrifice, and can also communicate with those gods.

The old priest deduced the weather, was familiar with the calendar, could communicate with plants and animals, and could also prepare various herbs and potions.

It was when the head goose of the gray goose tribe was now 10 years old that the old priest took a fancy to the child at a glance and said to the tribal leader that this child would definitely stimulate the bloodline in the future, so the previous generation of head geese began to cultivate a successor who is now dominant in the dragon territory.

Today's old priest is no longer the most relied on by his disciples, and a few months ago, because he did not agree with Touyan's plan to go south, he did not hesitate to quarrel with Touyan several times, and rejected his proposal to attend the Winter Meeting.

The old priest's stubbornness even annoyed Tou Yan, who saw the battle to the south as a ceremony for his own coronation as the king of the barbarians, and he longed for the teacher who had discovered his potential in the first place to offer himself the blessing of the barbarian god in Roth Castle.

However, the old priest firmly refused, and the head goose knew that no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not force the old priest to go south with him, it was not easy to make God happy, but to make God unhappy only needed to provoke the priest.

At that time, he was not carried away by the victory, and he was ready to take the head goose of Roth Castle and ask the old priest to guard the headquarters camp for him, after all, the camp and the salt mine are the biggest support of the gray goose tribe.

This time the old priest agreed, and he took the head of the gray goose tribe and sent away the head goose and most of the young people in the camp, and at that moment, the old priest felt that his time was running out.

In the old priest's tent, not only was the foundation fully compacted, but the ground was covered with a thick layer of pack hides, which were hard and waterproof.

The most conspicuous inside the tent was an altar carved with bloodstains of holy emblems, and under the detectives were some tributes, including grains, pickled monster meat, and barbarian incense burners.

The old priest's bed is very simple, only there is a small bed on the left side of the tent, there is a wooden bookshelf next to the bed, which is full of magic scrolls and animal skin books, several old priest's notes and notebooks are placed directly on the ground, and on the right side of the tent is a small classroom, surrounded by several animal skin cushions, which is the place where the old priest inherits the barbarian sacrifice rituals.

The priestly lineage of the barbarians is very different from that of the Terrans, who all have their own sects, and the sects can be traced back to a certain god, or a certain demigod.

But the beliefs of the barbarians are very mixed, from the beast gods to the gods of the human empire, and then to the two yang and March, as long as it is still effective, they believe in a little bit.

Before entering the Galloping Horse Plain at the earliest, the barbarians did believe in a certain human god, but with the influence of magic turbulence, the barbarians cut off contact with their own gods, so every time they sacrificed, the priest would call the gods one by one, and whoever could shake it would be whoever it was, and which god could respond would be worshiped more, and if there was no response, the next sacrifice would not fall, who knows if there would be a response next time?

In the Grey Goose Camp, every barbarian who stimulates the demonic bloodline will learn from the old priest in the first month after the successful activation, and the old priest will ask the apprentice to try to communicate with every righteous god, if there is no response from a righteous god within a month, it means that the child is not suitable to be a priest apprentice.

The barbarians on the Galloping Horse Plain have a 1/5 probability of becoming a demon supporter, and a 1/100 probability of becoming a priest.

But in the past two years, the old priest finally found the most suitable successor, and now in the camp, the old priest is busy with apprentices all day long, and does not manage the affairs of the camp at all.

After the morning came, the Grey Goose Messenger had taken away the cavalry from the camp, and the old priest took refuge in his tent.

He was teaching a few apprentices on a leather cushion when he heard someone shouting outside.

"Lord Priest, Lord Priest, there is a tribe outside, there are quite a few people, and a few leaders don't know what to do!"

"They don't know what to do? I know? "The priest has been repeatedly disturbed for the past two days to attend the camp, and he is very impatient.

"There are more people on the other side."

"If there are too many people, call back all the people who left in the morning"

"Your Majesty Priest ... They... They came from the south, and they should ... ”

The old priest heard that something was wrong, and he put down the scroll in his hand and walked out of the tent.

"Tell me, how many of them are there?"

"Minimum 200 people"

"I see, tell the chiefs, I'll come at once," the old priest's tone was calm at this moment, and when the messenger was gone, he returned to the tent.

"Wendy, take the four of them, take the priestly robes I made for you, and hide in your own tent." The old priest walked over to the teaching area and spoke to a few of the apprentices.

"Ah, grandpa, are there any enemies outside the camp?" It was Wendy who spoke, that is, the old priest's newly found apprentice, and she and the other 4 Terran girls were all Terran demon girls specially found by the old priest, and they could be said to be the least common demon bearers in the entire Galloping Horse Plain and the northwest region of the Dragon Kingdom.

Wendy is just 17 this year, because she has stimulated the demon bloodline, and now she is almost 1.9 meters tall, and only the demon supporters of the human race and the barbarian race in the entire camp can beat Wendy in strength, and the remaining 4 girls are slightly petite, all of them are more than 1.8 meters.

Wendy and the others are far better and faster than the barbarian priest apprentices, and the old priest treats them as treasures as soon as he finds out, but the demon bearers in the barbarian camp are all men, and their attitude towards women is very rude, and the old priest who is afraid of hurting a few girls has been secretly putting them in a few tents, and has also made robes and masks for priest apprentices for several girls,

The girls had to wear robes and masks to leave the tent, and their height kept the camp's demons and barbarians unaware of their feminine identity.

The head goose was the only one in the camp who had seen them, and he saw Wendy's girls as his future treasure, and agreed to let the old priest hide them.

"Take my scepter, and if our camp is really attacked, you will mount the black-scaled horses behind my tent and flee to the salt mines, where you will find the intermediate magician Gandalf, who will take care of you."

"Grandpa, is it so powerful this time?" Another girl, Lili, asked.

The old priest did not speak, but turned to the bookcase beside his bed, and found a few notebooks.

"In the future, if you don't have my guidance, you can read these books, these are all notes I wrote in the Terran script during my travels in the interior of the Human Empire, you can understand them," the old priest handed Wendy a few books, "Go to the stables, and ride the horses before you, remember to wear a mask and robes, and never show it." ”

Wendy and the other girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Ah," the old priest looked at the five girls, and at this moment his mind was the picture of the first time he saw Wendy, when Wendy was dressed as a girl on the prairie, with a hat decorated with feathers, wearing a leather dress, and blue and godly eyes on a little face that was still a little baby fat, and the old priest looked at them, knowing that this was probably the last time.

"Let's go" The old priest didn't ask that sentence in the end, whether they resented that they bought them to this galloping horse plain, thinking that these girls were rejected by the people around them, maybe they were still emotional when they first came, but after they really became the priests of the big tribe, the resentment in their hearts melted, maybe they could thank themselves.

But the gods didn't give the old priest enough time, nor did they give the Grey Goose tribe a chance to continue to grow.

In the end, none of the five girls said a word, but silently left the tent.

"It's finally time for this day." Watching the five girls walk out of the tent, the old priest let out a sigh of relief.

Ten years ago, when the previous leader of the Grey Goose took possession of the salt mines, he knew that there would be a day when the salt and iron mines would bring more and more benefits to the barbarians of the Galloping Horse Plain over the years, and also led to more intense conflicts between the tribes than in the past hundred years.

The large tribes of gray geese, eagles, bulls, and badgers replaced the traditional small and medium-sized tribes of the barbarians, and the barbarians had cavalry teams of more than 100 people, and the small tribes that were once independent of each other were now tied together by the alliance.

But all this comes at a cost, mining requires technology, workers, magic and alchemy equipment, but there is none in the barbarian tribes, so the gray goose tribe is entangled with the blue dragon, maned wolf, frost wolf, and many human forces in the front of the palace.

The salt mine makes the gray goose no longer a simple nomadic tribe, and a large number of human demon slaves have been found from the human empire to enter the mining area to open mines, and the tribes on the plains are also heavily dependent on industries such as black scale horses and iron armor, and rely on grain imports from the empire.

After a few years of development, the Grey Goose tribe has become semi-permanently stationed outside the salt mines, and all the black-scaled horses in the camp are no longer riders' partners, but are ready to be exchanged for goods.

Commodities and gold coins connect otherwise independent tribes into a network.

The old priest knew that sooner or later, a powerful force would appear on the plain to unite the tribes of the entire plain and establish a new era.

It's just that he didn't expect that this era would come so quickly, and his tribe was being crushed by the new era.
