168. The King
Big Panya is the leader of the Tree Beaver tribe, and their tribe has been living a fishing and hunting life north of the main trunk of the Benma River.
This year, the north of the Benma River was particularly cold, and the Benma River was even frozen in its entirety, so he had no choice but to take the entire tribe south, and formed a force with several northern tribes of comparable size along the way, preparing to loot some southern tribes to survive the winter.
Unexpectedly, there were almost no tribes in the south of the Galloping Horse River, until Big Panya met Neil's heralds and brought them, a small group of 200 people, to the city of Night Qi.
During the few days he had been in the north of the city, Dapanya felt that he had never eaten so much food and drunk such delicious broth in winter, and he kept thinking about what a powerful tribe must be behind this magnificent wall to treat barbarians he didn't know so generously.
Finally, Da Panya followed the ironclad guards into the Night Qi City, and it is said that he was to meet the lord here, but after passing through the streets and came to the foot of a lonely mountain.
"This... Is this a whole building? "The architecture of the palace is so natural that Da Panya and a few barbarians are amazed at the strength of the territory here, and they have never been to the barbarian tribe south of the Punma River in their lives, how do they know that the plain where they are located was once a powerful kingdom, and where do they know that Rand only lives in a monument, and only thinks that someone has built a huge city on the side of a mountain.
At the end of the long passage is a bright hall, the walls are covered with glowing gems, and in the center of the circular hall there is a black statue more than ten meters high, the main body is a knight who immediately wields a sword, the front hooves of the horse stand, the knight holds a long sword and waves it to the sky, and on the side of the horse stands an old mage and a female archer who is drawing a bow and arrows, and the lifelike sculpture is topped by a huge crystal sculpture ceiling.
"What kind of material is this?" Da Banya naturally couldn't recognize the black jade produced from the northwest mountain range of the Galloping Horse, and he had never seen the natural crystal collected from the Eastern Kingdom Cave, but this did not prevent Banya from judging the value of everything in front of him: he couldn't buy this sculpture even if he packaged and sold the entire grassland.
"Chief Panya, please go upstairs from here, let's go meet the lords" The ironclad guard reached for the stairs to the side, inviting several lords upstairs.
"It's not... See you here? ”
"Of course not, this is the South Staircase Hall, and the Lord is waiting for you in the Hall of the Running Horse."
Several leaders went up the stairs to see that the crown carried by the knight sculpture of Moyu was actually pure gold, and the two eyes of all the statues and the medals on the sculpture were inlaid with gems.
When leaving the stairwell, Big Panya even thought that the so-called Galloping Horse Hall would not be more beautiful than this staircase.
It wasn't until he saw 12 larger lacquered gold statues of white jade inlaid with animal teeth in the 60-meter-long, 30-meter-wide and 40-meter-high hall.
On the wall behind the sculpture are several huge murals, and there are even reliefs with gold and silver on the mural frames.
The roof is divided into dozens of grids carved with gold on a black background, and a statue of a god is painted in each grid.
At the end of the room, there is a 2 or 3 meter high platform, behind which there is a huge tapestry with black horses coming to life on the blanket.
Panya saw a solemn king on the high platform, and eight samurai dressed in costumes under the stage.
The feeling of oppression belonging to the king made the legs of Banya and several leaders tremble, and as the ironclad warriors got closer and closer to the high platform, the footsteps of several people became slower and slower, and they became more and more empty. "Poof", finally Banya couldn't stand it and knelt down, some of the other barbarian leaders knelt down on one knee, some knelt with both legs together, and one simply fell to the ground with five bodies.
"The first ... Head... Your Majesty... In the solemn hall, Big Panya remembered another honorific title that did not belong to the barbarians, which he had heard from various chance encounters, and which only belonged to the orc royal court or the human empire.
"Listed as the leader, welcome to my palace, this is the royal palace of the Galloping Horse Kingdom!"
。。。
When Da Panya walked out of the gate of Night Qi City, his mind was still filled with a large list of famous lords such as "the king of the great galloping horse plain, the heir of the galloping horse kingdom, and the family blessed by the god emperor", and the scene of meeting several of them in the splendid palace, everything was like a dream.
Seeing the huge walls all the way, Panya finally knew that this was not a dream, but a barbarian god who had made it possible for his tribe to meet the herald.
Banya, who came to his senses, hurriedly ran back to the camp and called all his clansmen together.
"Everyone! You've all listened to me. From today on, we are the barbarians of the Galloping Horse Tribe!
We now have a new leader, who is the king of the entire grassland! The new leader has asked us to catch swordfish throughout the river for him in the future, and to raise them in the future! Panya kept wandering among his people, shouting loudly.
"As long as we complete the leader's task, we will have enough to eat!" Big Panya shouted loudly, letting his people hear Rand's orders.
Every tribe that has just arrived in Night Qicheng will first complete some preliminary statistics, population, demon supporters, and the number of children; The specialty of the tribe, the livestock carried by the tribe.
The tribe of Panga is a fishing and hunting tribe, and the livestock they carry are very limited, and the tribe does not raise horses and sheep, so Rand asked them to weave fishing nets and continue to fish in the Benma River basin in the future, especially swordfish.
Several other tribes were also assigned tasks according to their strengths, and if the population was too small or too large, they were stationed outside the city for a period of time before moving to the eight branches.
。。。。。。
"Whew, the effect is not bad, it really stopped them" Seeing the barbarian leaders in the hall trembling and being led out, Rant's heart finally let go.
"Great... Your Majesty? "The shock is always mutual, the awe of outsiders infected Rand's subordinates, although they had heard that the galloping horse family was the king of the plains, but the "king" in the eyes of the barbarians was no different from the tribal leader, just now they realized that their galloping horse was completely different from the tribe that swept around the plains last year.
"Just according to the usual name, it's all your own people, there's no need to fix this fiction" Rand is very clear about his grass platform team, at present, he can bully and bully the barbarians, and he can't fool any one who comes from the king.
This is the first time they have used the hall in the palace, and the crowd is also in a hurry, choosing this Galloping Horse Hall belongs to the best preserved runes of all kinds, and there are some magic circles in the room that can activate some functions, and only need to light a small number of braziers to maintain the light.
However, if it is an envoy of the Human Empire, it can be seen that this hall is actually a banquet hall or dance hall, and the high platform is more often used as an orchestra pit or stage, and there are no key thrones on the high platform, and the thrones in other halls are too heavy to be moved in a short time. Rand could only stand in the middle of the platform in armor, but fortunately, the barbarians never had the concept of a throne, and knelt down when they saw the huge palace.
"Lannia, inform Sophia and let them spare the manpower to gradually restore these palaces" With this experience, Rand was determined to gradually explore and excavate the entire palace of Mount Patremira.
