Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 28 26. One day

Since crossing, unless he attacked the barbarian tribe at night, Rand would wake up before dawn every day, and then carry out some basic exercises. In Rand's memory, this was the homework of the original owner every morning.

Every preparatory knight in the territory will do morning exercises before the two suns are in the sky. In the past, Rand's training included running warm-ups, strength training, swordsmanship and bow and arrow training. In other places in the human empire, the training also included grudges.

However, the magic turbulence on the Galloping Horse Plain is strong, and the gathered Dou Qi is likely to be dissipated by the turbulent flow. Therefore, the junior and reserve knights in the Galloping Horse Territory and Rotor Territory will not conduct Dou Qi training.

Rand's recent training was with Roll alone, not with the other knights, because Rand had to do qi training every day.

After running and completing 5 rounds of swordsmanship practice, Lante consumed a magic crystal, absorbed the magic power in the magic crystal, and began to gather fighting energy. First, he made two charges, and then attached the fighting energy to the blade for a round of slashing. Chop, parry, and mount for a few minutes of riding practice.A magic crystal was consumed, and Rand's vindictive training ended on time after 2 minutes.

This set of vindictive training was decided after discussions between Rolle, Albert and Rand. Now every afternoon, Rand will take Neil, Fang and others out to hunt, and the elementary monsters captured in the water can be released every day. One or two magic crystals, together with the recently captured camps, Rand now has nearly 50 magic crystals in reserve.

So now Rand gets 1 or 2 new magic crystals every day, and consumes 1 old magic crystal to train fighting spirit.

According to the general opinion of the imperial knights, the level of knights corresponds to the level of use of vindictiveness. For example, the standard for junior knights is to be able to use vindictive moves, while the standard for intermediate knights is to be proficient in using them or to be able to release more than 5 times in a row. Fighting qi moves, this standard is corresponding, that is to say, as long as a knight can release 5 fighting qi moves in a row, he is an intermediate knight.

For junior knights, even if they can suddenly gain a lot of grudge, if they don't have a certain level and proficiency, they can't release their moves five times in a row.

In terms of the correspondence between rank and the use of grudges, Rand can already be called an intermediate knight. What he lacks now is a stronger body, more grudges, and recognition by nobles above the earl. The first two can be supplemented by Warcraft meat , the latter can only wait for Earl Maned Wolf to be canonized after returning to the Dragon Kingdom.

According to the provisions of the Holy Supreme Council of the Human Empire, junior knights and intermediate knights can be recognized and canonized by nobles above the earl, high-level knights, sky knights and grand knights can only be canonized by duchies and kingdoms, silver, sky and gold knights, by the empire Certification is done by the Civil Service Hall, and above by the Holy Supreme Council.

After completing the krypton crystal training, Rand saw Albert who hadn't rested all night. After Albert finished his homework and chatted with Rand, he returned to his camp to check the books all night.

It was a "Legend Record", which contained the names, titles and profiles of all the gods, demigods, and legends that humans came into contact with after the establishment of the two human empires. Of course, most of them were good gods or ancient beast gods. Although the orcs are believers, they are neutral gods who are not particularly malicious towards humans.

This book was issued by the church to lords above the marquis, in order to allow human nobles to recognize cult beliefs that are malicious to humans, and to prevent their territories from being targeted by evil gods.

However, Albert searched through the "Legendary Records" and did not find anyone with the same view as Rand. Albert can be sure that Rand's view is not that of an evil god or a demon, but it is not in any of the records. Legendary view.

If it is similar, the most similar views are the legendary views of several early civilians in the Tower of Purity School, but their views are far more radical and confrontational than Rand.

"Uncle Albert, haven't you had a good rest?" Rand was very concerned about the elders in Albert, Rolle and other territories, "Could it be that you counted the long-haired sheep all night?"

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

"Don't worry, we now have 50 magic crystals, which are enough for me. When Neil comes back, we will make a plan for the next step."

. . . . . .

"Old horse legs, let me repeat. We are the patrol team of the Galloping Horse Tribe. We have a total of 12 cavalry, and our tribe has 50 cavalry." At this moment, Neil was talking with the leader of a medium-sized tribe.

"Our leader said that he is willing to exchange long-haired sheep or beasts of burden for the slaves of the imperial demon possessors in your hands.

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

If you don't change, we are the enemy. The 10 or so cavalry in your tribe can't withstand an attack from us! "

Neil now takes his own patrol team out to patrol every morning, and is now investigating the surrounding rivers to see which rivers may have monsters, and which river banks have new barbarian tribes.

The tribe in front of him was discovered by Neil today. In terms of scale, it is considered a medium-sized tribe, with less than 20 cavalry in the tribe.With the deepening of contact, Neil recognized the leader of the tribe, Lao Malu, who was an acquaintance when they were in an alliance.

The old horse leg looked at Neil nervously. He knew that what Neil said was true. The cavalry in Neil's patrol team, he had seen a few when he was in the alliance, and they all came from different tribes.

Now that these people can patrol together, it means that there is a huge tribe comparable in size to the Gray Goose, swallowing up these small and medium tribes.

The old horse leg didn't know whether the Gray Goose Tribe could compete against the Galloping Horse Tribe that Neil was talking about, but he definitely couldn't.

"Neil, the slaves of the demon possessors in our tribe were all traded for black scaled horses back then. If you use long-haired sheep or pack animals, isn't it too little?"

"Can talk" Neil breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that as long as he can bargain, he can directly exchange these demon possessors. More importantly, many of the cavalry in front of him are acquaintances from the alliance, and Neil doesn't want to Draw their swords and face each other.

"We can discuss how to change it, but we all know that it is already winter, and you won't be able to support it if you change it to a pony."

"We don't have to worry about whether we can feed or not. You can just ask if you want to change it? 5 human slaves, 5 foals."

"This..." Neil didn't dare to answer. The black scaled horse is the tribe's most important wealth, and he can't make the decision.

. . . . . . . .

"Change! Change with them!" Rant saw Neil who had returned from patrol during lunch. "5 horses are exchanged for 5 demon possessors, why not? These 5 horses will not be able to ride this year, but in exchange for 5 people, they will be able to fight on horses tomorrow. Such a good deal, why not do it!"

"Aren't we going to kill them directly?" Luo Er asked.

"That's right, let's kill them, we don't have to give a single foal, all theirs are ours!"

"Our Benma tribe is the owner of the entire plain. As long as he agrees to exchange with me the slaves of demon owners, I will be friends with them. This is what we have agreed before. It cannot be said that the price is not suitable. I will go and rob them. .”

Rand said calmly, "You have to remember that we will bring order and tranquility to the entire Benma Plain in the future. What is order is that everyone must follow the rules. The rules I set, I can't break them myself up"

"Yes!" No one expected that Rand would really want to control the entire plain. Now that Rand proposed it, others could only implement it.

Of course, what Rand was talking about was just a righteous name. The real reason was that a large number of herbivores gathered, which would quickly consume the pastures. Rand's tribe now had to frequently relocate.

For Lante, what he hopes most now is to increase the number of demon possessors in the left or right camp.

Attacking a medium-sized tribe can only get a small number of human demon possessors. Barbarian demon possessors will either be killed or run away unless they surrender themselves. Rand can only receive a large number of demonless people and livestock. Of course, these are also very valuable, but For today's camp, it can only be a burden that needs to be protected by dividing troops.

Rand didn't want to make it clear that although for the barbarian tribes, the unnecessary non-magic was a burden, but Rand felt that he was a decent person from a highly civilized area and needed a higher bottom line.

Now there are more than 700 non-monsters in Rand's entire territory. Rand has high requirements for the management of the territory and has many ideas, so every 3 days he has to call the knight commander, Albert, all stewards, 1 and 2 groups in the territory Representatives of craftsmen and teachers held a meeting together. Lante called the meeting a territory joint meeting. In the meeting, everyone made a report on the things they were responsible for, and then Lante mentioned his own ideas. Neil said where a new station could be established.

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 very long, and Rand is in a hurry to have lunch after the meeting.

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

"Tomorrow morning, take 5 horses, call 30 cavalry and 10 knights, and ask him if he can exchange them immediately."

"If you go with 40 people, don't scare them to death." Neil laughed

"That's right" the others booed too.

"Taking people there is to let him know that Gray Goose is no longer the strongest on this plain. However, we must exchange if possible. If possible, we should do it directly. There should be more than 10 people on the opposite side. We don't need any casualties."

. . . . . . .

In the afternoon, Rand took Neil, Fang and several knight apprentices out to hunt again.

Today, Rand is consciously cultivating a new generation of demon possessors such as Fang and Neil, leading them to hunt, sharing part of the monster meat with them, exercising fighting skills with each other, and asking Roll to train them individually in swordsmanship. The barbarians taught them how to ride.

Older knights will miss their old family, while younger enchanters value their current experience more.

Neil led the group to a river 5 kilometers away from the camp. There were mud flow crocodiles on the banks of the river. This low-level lizard-like monster was more dangerous than the water swordfish in the river.

Muddrift crocodile lurks on the river bank. This kind of earth and water monster can control the nearby mud to cover itself and bury itself. Once a large creature passes by, the surrounding land can engulf the prey and send it into the huge crocodile mouth.

The mudslide crocodile is one of the few sources of stable magic crystals on the Benma Plain. The magic core of the mudslide crocodile with a length of more than 4 meters basically has magic crystals.

Now Rand already has a very mature method of hunting mudslide crocodiles. Mudslide crocodiles are always on the near-shore river beach, whether in the water or on the river beach, it is very difficult to deal with them.

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

Rand will first use the reed basket to catch the water swordfish in the water.Lant asked the magicians to weave a lot of 2-meter-long thin baskets with reeds. The opening diameter of the baskets is less than half a meter, and it becomes thinner as it goes to the bottom. There are some barbs at the bottom.Put a few pieces of Warcraft meat at the bottom of the basket, put the basket into the river, and fix it in the riverbed.

The length of a swordfish that becomes a monster will not be shorter than 1 meter, and the bloody taste of monster meat is irresistible. Once the swordfish enters the depths of the basket, it will be difficult to turn around, and the barbs at the bottom of the basket will get stuck on the fish.

Of course, as a low-level monster, even if the water swordfish is only the weakest monster, it is not an ordinary beast.Once the water swordfish is found in the basket, the basket should be taken to the shore as soon as possible.

Water swordfish can rarely produce magic cores, let alone magic crystals.Fishing is used as bait for mudslide crocodiles.

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

Tie the long-haired and two water swordfish together, find near the mudslide crocodile, and pour the blood water left over from the processed fish directly on the land about 15 meters away from the crocodile, and the hungry mudslide crocodile will go ashore along the blood.

Then I saw two water arrowfish tied together. The crocodile consumes more energy on land and feels more uneasy. After seeing it, it manipulates the surrounding soil without hesitation, sucks the fish and spear directly into its big mouth, and prepares to finish eating Just go back to the river.

Naturally, two spears cannot kill a 4-meter crocodile, but Rand will make a charge when the crocodile has the power to release its magic power. With krypton crystal training, Rand can now easily release a charge.

Rand, who rushed to the crocodile, would use a special spear—the tip of the spear was a rune dagger captured before, which could transmit Rand's fighting spirit, and the spear pierced directly from the back of the crocodile.

The crocodile will instinctively roll over when it is attacked. Lante directly broke off the spearhead, left the dagger in the back of the crocodile's head, and turned away.

The mudslide crocodile that was pierced through the back of the head will die soon. The crocodile skin, meat, and bones are all very precious, not to mention the magic crystal.Without the supplement of magic crystals, Rant's charge and stabs consumed his energy, and he needed crocodile meat as an afternoon snack.
