Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 19 17. Medium Barbarian Tribe
After 2 or 3 days of rest, Rand marched eastward with a team of all knights and a carriage.

In the past few days, Greyhound has figured out the medium-sized tribe in the east. There are at least 10 barbarian demon possessors in this tribe, more than 30 tents, 100 long-haired sheep and more than 40 pack animals. The strength can be said to exceed the sum of the several barbarian tribes they attacked last time.

And the difference between this tribe and the previous ones is that they are very vigilant no matter day or night, and there will always be cavalry on guard.

Lante led a group of knights carelessly along the river and approached the tribe. Now all of them were dressed as barbarians, with iron armor covered with furs that are common to barbarians. At first glance, they thought they were cavalry from some large tribe.

For this operation, Rand paid a lot of money. Each low-level knight held two magic crystals. Once he found something wrong, he immediately used the magic crystals to replenish his fighting spirit and charged over.

The brown rabbit is the younger brother of the tribal leader and the leader of the 10 barbarian cavalry left behind.

His elder brother took 7 cavalry to the alliance, and his task was to watch over the human slaves in the camp and protect the tribe from being targeted by other barbarians.

"My lord," the cavalry patrolling outside came to report "Nine people are coming to our place"

"Oh, brother, are they back?"

"This... I don't look like the leader. They are dressed more tidily than the leader, and they brought back nothing else. They only followed a carriage."

"What's that for?" The brown rabbit was not sure, so he could only take a few people to investigate the situation.

The brown rabbit who walked out of the camp saw 9 cavalrymen and a carriage approaching unhurriedly, most of them stopped 200 meters away from the camp, only the leader continued to walk over and greeted him friendly .

"Hey, we are the messengers of the leader of Gray Goose. The coalition forces of our tribe have won many places. The leader said that he will distribute gold coins to the participating tribes. Come and get them from me!" the other party said in a common language with a barbarian accent. with.

"Gold coins?" The brown rabbit finally understood what was going on, "Hahaha, I'm afraid the leader of the gray goose will give us some sweetness first in order to let us continue to send troops?" Although his mouth was disgusted, his body was very To be honest, he walked to the carriage with a few cronies.

"This leader, what you said is wrong. The gold coins are on the cart, and you will get more if you send more troops!" A cavalry near the carriage said loudly.

"If you send more troops, you will get more points. Don't you just want us to continue to send troops? Let me see how many gold coins we can share with one cavalryman? Hahaha." The brown rabbit has now been confirmed, and this team is here to distribute money. He continued to send troops, because he saw that the slave in the car had opened a box, and the inside of the box was shining golden.

The brown rabbit couldn't wait any longer. He followed his brother all these years, and the scale of the tribe was getting bigger and bigger, but he had never seen a box full of gold coins.

The brown rabbit trotted all the way with his cronies, and did not notice that the cavalry escorting the convoy were already behind him, and the barbarians should not hand over their backs to strangers, "Come on, little girl, tell me, we are out 7 cavalry, how many gold coins should be divided?"

"Boom..." The one who answered the brown rabbit was a figure from the rear left. This figure suddenly attacked at an imperceptible speed, knocked down the brown rabbit at once, and then the brown rabbit saw a cold light.

Lante used a magic crystal, launched an impact, and immediately drew his knife and slashed after knocking down the brown rabbit.The other knights were not idle either, and directly attacked them while the brown rabbit's cronies turned their backs.

If the barbarians were still a little wary when Rand first arrived, when they heard that the money was going to be divided, the barbarians had already brightened their eyes. 10 people solved 5 of them at once. The first one to meet the brown rabbit and talk to him with a barbarian accent was Rolle. Less than 10 steps behind Rolle was Greyhound Dante. The two of them immediately charged forward without waiting to see The two barbarians at the door reacted and killed them.

The vigilant barbarians were all standing on the ground. The knights on horses were 2 meters taller than them, and their speed was unparalleled. The barbarians without horses were no match at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining three barbarians were about to run into the camp and flee on horseback, but were hacked to death by the surrounding knights.

"We won, we won, we fought the barbarians head-on and won!" When talking, the son of Greyhound, Canine Dante, the 20-year-old Canine Dante has become a junior knight. In terms of potential, Bilan Very high.

Although they have been participating in sneak attacks on the barbarian camps before, this is the first time they have faced the barbarians during the day, and Canine Fang is extremely excited.

"Qianya, what did I say, we can win! You have to believe in me, and you must also believe in yourself." Although this plan was made by Rand himself, and Rand himself had no idea when he came here, it did not hinder him. Rand now attributes all the success to himself and won the trust of the knights for himself.

"Yes, my lord, you are really good at predicting things." Actually, what Quanya said was a local slang, but Rand couldn't understand the specific meaning, so he simply translated it into this.

At this moment, Rand and the others were in the middle of the huge barbarian camp, and Rand saw that many non-monsters had come out of the camp.

When they saw that Rand left none of his original masters behind, they knelt down one after another.

In a Gundam tent on the edge of the camp, a tall figure suddenly appeared, which was taller than Rand.

Too bad, there are barbarian cavalry?
After a while, 4 more figures came out. These people looked at Rand numbly, and then the people who came out from behind looked at the person who came out first. They exchanged eyes, and then knelt down together to express their submission.

. . . . . . . . . . .

The most exciting thing after the sneak attack is the unboxing link, which is the same whether it is a barbarian or a human race.

Rand still asked Albert to count the captives, while Rolle and Iron Cone counted the animals, and then went into Da's tent by themselves to rummage through valuables.

The advantage of a medium-sized tribe is that there are many valuables and many guards, so there is no need to bury all the treasures in the ground.

Rand found 35 gold coins, some silver coins and copper coins, two magic books, a magic sealing box, which contained an enchanted long sword, more than a dozen magic crystals, and 6 rune plates: water, fire, Two pieces of wind, ice, lighting boards, and an alchemy puppet, Rand didn't know what it was, so he didn't move.

There are 14 black-scaled horses, 37 pack animals, and 97 long-haired sheep in the camp. Nearly a ton of grain filled a tent, as well as about 50 catties of salt and some spices, as well as an iron stove and Less than 300 catties of iron ingots and 500 catties of coal, 30 carts and dozens of square meters of timber,
In addition, there are some miscellaneous iron tools, herbs, meat, and monster meat. Besides the common livestock, there are actually more than 20 grouse, gray geese and other birds.

It seems that medium-sized camps are really different from small ones. This is not just a camp for a tribe, but also a trading point for nearby small tribes. Small tribes can use currency or other items to trade here, or exchange horseshoes, etc.

"Rand" Albert came in, and there were a few people behind him. They were the last big men who knelt down to Rand. These people were undoubtedly demon possessors, but they were not demon possessors of this tribe. .

"Let me introduce, this is Knight Danico, who used to be the guardian knight of the Frostwolf Chamber of Commerce in the capital. He was captured by the barbarians three years ago and has been living here. He was taken captive here during the plunder."

"I, Danico, thank you, Baron Lant, for your rescue, and I will follow you to the death." Danico knelt on one knee to express his allegiance, and the other four demon possessors also knelt at the same time.

No wonder the tribe had to keep so many cavalry on guard at any time. It turned out that what they were guarding against was not the invasion from outside, but the slaves of the demon owners in the camp. Rand understood something.

"Knight Danico, please get up quickly, and everyone please get up too. I, Lante Galloping Horse, welcome everyone to join, Danico, you really suffered." Although Lante didn't say anything, I felt that Danico was even more powerful. lines, but the posture of the corporal Lixian is still sufficient.

"Master Lant..." Danico was captured by the barbarians for 3 years, and he lived without a human face every day, let alone being respected. Danico had never seen Lant's routine before, and he was really excited and grateful .

Danico, who was helped up, told Rant about their experience.

Danico was originally a junior knight employed by the Frostwolf family in the royal capital, who was specially responsible for the trade escort from the royal capital - Maned Wolf City. Three years ago, he was kidnapped by the barbarians while escorting the caravan.

These barbarians are very strange. They have no interest in non-monsters, and they haven't touched any commodities other than money. They just robbed a few demon-bearers.

After that, Danico fell everywhere on the Galloping Horse Plain. First, he was sent to the Barbarian League, like a commodity being sold to a medium-sized tribe, and then the tribe was attacked by other tribes, and Danico was like a trophy. was changed hands.

In the end, Danico was sold to the current camp again. Seeing Rand's invasion this time, Danico thought it was a conflict between tribes just like last time, but he didn't expect to be rescued.

According to Danico, in the barbarian camp, the barbarians have great strength and straightforward nature. They are good at hunting and herding, but there is one thing that they cannot do fine work.

Things like setting up tents, grazing, and repairing armor must be undertaken by the non-magic, but similar to nailing black-scaled horses, blacksmithing, etc., which require both strength and technology.

Medium-sized tribes will buy human demon-owner slaves to do it. After a tribe buys a demon-owner slave, it will let him specialize in this kind of compound work. Around a medium-sized tribe, there are usually 3 or 4 small tribes.

These small tribes can take prey, currency, and sheepskins in exchange for horseshoes and even horseshoeing services from medium-sized tribes.So Daniko became the common blacksmith of many nearby tribes.

Lante showed great sympathy, and said on the spot that he would let Danico be his family knight, and several demon owners would also be his direct households, which moved several people again.

Afterwards in the statistic session, Rand specially asked Danico and others to pick 120 of the 5 captured non-magic people as their own family members, and the remaining 95 people were counted as Rand's own people.

Although Rand is more accustomed to directly managing all demon possessors and non-monsters, Rand also knows that the world has a huge inertia. He can follow the inertia to benefit himself, but he cannot change the times alone.

Fortunately, there are both non-magic people who have been housekeepers in this camp, and there are also magic-owning people who can read and write. Rand still follows the original idea, taking care of the children alone, picking out craftsmen, and requiring hygiene and setting up sanitary trenches.

. . . . . . . . . .

The next day, the main camp 20 kilometers away came here to meet up.The direct subjects of Rand directly reached 200 people, which was equal to the population of the baron's territory, and there were new demon possessors added.

Now whether it is Rolle, Greyhound, Dog Tooth, Danico, Nila, or Mei Wennan, they all believe that Rand can take them back to the Baron of Running Horse, and even turn the Running Horse into a Viscount territory.

At this time, Albert was even more thinking about liberating the human demon possessors in the various barbarian camps all the way to form a new force for the Galloping Horse family.

Rand had just finished arranging affairs in the territory at this moment, and called all the singing and dancing girls together, a total of 8 people. These girls were bought by the barbarian leaders for enjoyment, and Albert arranged to "take care" of them that day rand for two.

"Guys, do you know why I called you together?"

Several girls looked at each other, "Do you need our service?"

"No, I need you to sing," Rand counted the few nights he had come to the world, and there were not many nights that were really nothing at all, and he could enjoy it peacefully.

Rand knows very well that his immediate subjects are made up of a group of barbarian slaves. Everyone has the habits developed in the barbarian areas and the thinking of the human areas. These thoughts are mixed together. If Lan If you cannot create your own identity, large and small factions and groups will arise among these people.

Among other things, Rand has decided to let all the demon possessors who joined today ride horses and become cavalry. These people must be separated from the non-magic, so that they cannot form factions when they fight.

Culture is needed to generate identity, and music is the carrier of culture. Rand gave all the singers a "Running Horse Persuading Folk Song" on the spot, with a simple melody and easy-to-understand lyrics.

"The people of Galloping Horse live a good life, and the lord of Rand Plain resists brutality.

The first is to be inspiring, and the second is not to hide the expertise.

The third march is to listen to the orders in detail, and the fourth camp is to dig sanitary trenches.

Long-term sanitation is the most important thing, bathing and laundry tents are in good working order.

The fifth stream must be boiled before drinking, and the sixth fords the river to carefully check the water-avoiding plants.

. . . . . . .

I hope that the leaders will keep all the details, and the knight gods of the Benma family will come to protect them.

To expel the barbarians, the plains must be restored, and the kingdom should be restored to peace and happiness. "

This song was originally a military training song for the Bavarian country in Europa, Rand's hometown. It was later introduced to Rand's hometown, and there were several versions decades ago.

Rand chose this song and adapted it based on a version, so that the citizens can know Rand's family and what the Rand residents are going to do during the singing process.

Rand divided the 8 girls into 2 groups, and each group led 100 people. Before the next dinner in 5 days, the 100 people in each group sang together first, and found the best singing among them. The 30 people from all over the country sang once, and the two groups were judged. Each knight had one vote, and the group with the most votes added meat that night.

"The Knight God of the Galloping Horse Family came to protect...to restore the kingdom to peace and happiness..." The simple melody kept muttering in Albert's mouth, and Albert was really at a loss.

No Demonbearer cared about the multitude of Demonless, regardless of race, but Rand did.Not only did he care, but he could find a way to hold these Demonless Ones together.

At this moment, Albert really suspected that Rand was robbed of his mind by a legendary existence, but which legend has the ability to deal with the non-magic?
