Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 50 48. Thank you for leading the way
As Canine Fang continued to send back information, Rand continued to move eastward and northward with his main force. There were battles and annexations in the middle. Finally, on November 3, 11 days later, about 1 kilometers northeast of Yeqi City, A huge tribe was found south of the main stream of the Benma River.

The tribe in front of Rand is the real background of the Gray Goose Tribe. This tribe is located at the west exit of the Gray Goose Salt Mine Valley. The tent area at the core of the entire camp has been semi-fixed. The foundation and the road between the tents have been leveled. Many wells have been dug in the camp, and there are more than a dozen small tents similar to public toilets. There are special sewers inside. The sewers are not discharged into the Benma River, but into the river. A dark pool is used as fertilizer for surrounding fields and orchards.

That's right, there are even dozens of acres of fields around this tribe, but the fields do not grow grains, but alfalfa, beans and other pastures.

By the standards of Rand's hometown, this is basically a tent camp comparable to a city, with complete infrastructure, but tents are used as housing.

Now Rand has a large number of beasts of burden, and there are more magic possessors who have been blacksmiths. He found Albert and a few knights, refitted the large carriage he got from the Eagle Tribe, and put The eagle statue with two eyes is directly fixed on the carriage together with the 30-meter-high wooden pillar, and the wood is usually divided into three sections and mounted on the carriage.

Once needed, the body of the carriage will be carried by the wooden frame immediately, and three 10-meter-long pillars will be connected to form a 30-meter-long wooden pillar, which will stand directly on the carriage. After wearing the Mage Eye mask, Rand can gain 20 kilometers range of vision.

The sacred pillar of the Eagle Tribe became Rand's scouting mast, and the 20-kilometer field of vision allowed Rand to scout the situation in distant camps without any scruples.

After two days of observation, Lante determined that the super tribe in the distance should be the main body of the Gray Goose tribe, and the number of barbarian cavalry in it may be close to that of Lante's existing cavalry.

Although Rand is bound to win this camp, Rand hopes to minimize his losses as much as possible.

. . . . . .

At the moment in the Gray Goose camp, the envoy from the southern leader is reporting to the Gray Goose Priest about the leader's battle in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Master Priest, our leader is not optimistic about the front. Although we have a large number of people, several of our prairie riders suffered a disadvantage when fighting Viscount Rotor."

"That's natural." The barbarian priest, as a clergyman who was similar to the middle-level priest of the human race, naturally knew that the similar size could not bridge the gap in fighting spirit and magic.

"Now on the front line, how many riders do we have?"

"We should have less than 300 cavalry"

"Well, it may be enough to deal with the old maned wolf, but if the dragon sends some support at random, we will be in trouble"

"Master Priest, please send us a cavalry immediately, and we will take it to support the leader."

The priest's face was heavy. There are now more than 30 human slaves in the camp. These slaves alone require at least 40 riders to watch over them. In this way, there are not many riders who can be sent to the front line.

"40 people," the priest said, "If there are more, the camp will be in danger!"

"But priest, we need more riders ahead, there are too few of them. If you think there are too many slaves, why don't you send them to the salt mine?"

"No, then the balance of the salt mine will be broken," the priest replied, but obviously the messenger didn't understand.

. . . . . .

In any case, three days later, on November 3, the emissary took 11 barbarian cavalry to the south to support the leader of the gray goose.

The envoy still carried the gray goose flag he had come all the way. When he left Rotor, he had only 4 brothers by his side, and now he was followed by 50 cavalrymen.

However, when the envoy walked 20 kilometers with the reinforcements, he saw a strange camp. There was a tall sacred pillar in the camp, which seemed to be the eagle tribe; there were groups of pack animals in the camp, which looked like There should be the Bull Tribe; in the middle of the camp, there is a big tent, that weird tent, there is only one in the whole grassland, that is once owned by the Badger Tribe, now owned by the Benma Tribe.

Galloping horses, eagles, and bulls were originally the three largest barbarian tribes on the southern plain after Gray Goose, but now that the three tribes were united in one place, the Gray Goose envoy felt extremely uneasy.

With 50 cavalry approaching, the messenger saw the gate of the big camp, a group of riders surrounded a priest covered in feathers and rode out to meet him. The priest had an eagle face mask on his face and a feather crown on his head, and came towards him. up.

Lante slapped the scout mast on the face of the barbarian camp, naturally for the sake of vigilance. As soon as Lante saw the envoy leading a group of cavalry out, he had already asked all the left and right camps to dispatch.

Now that Rand is close to an army of 30 knights and 100 cavalrymen, he has no fear of facing 50 barbarian cavalry, but Rand really hopes to take advantage of other barbarians' fear of eagle priests, so he specially wears his magic pattern armor He wore a robe full of feathers, and also wore the mask and hat of Kanza from before.

For Rand, one tiger is one, and if it can reduce casualties, it will reduce casualties.

Sure enough, when the gray goose messenger was 100 meters away from Rand, he dismounted with the cavalry behind him.

"Master Eagle Priest? Why are you here with people from other tribes?"

"I'll wait for you here." Rand asked several assistants left by the Eagle Priest, saying that the Eagle Priest usually spoke very little, but he was very dignified when he spoke.

That is pretending to be X. Rand is very clear in his mind. The eagle priest has been working hard to maintain his personality, just to make himself appear solemn and powerful, as if he is really favored by the gods, so Rand must also maintain a kind of mystery feel.

"Waiting for us? Your lord, have you agreed to go south with other tribes?" The barbarian envoy didn't know why.

"Wrong," Lante urged the fire, and the fire neighed, and all the horses belonging to Lante moved forward almost at the same time.

"I'm here to find you," Rant said, and the horses began to speed up.

The Gray Goose Messenger was alarmed, having experienced many tribal conflicts, he naturally knew that the opponent must dismount and rush over to suppress the infantry with the cavalry.

However, when the envoy was about to mount his horse, there was a roar from the leading war horse on the opposite side, and the black-scaled horses on the envoy's side were restless and refused to cooperate with the cavalry to mount their horses.

The distance of 100 meters was within seconds for the black-scaled horse, and the envoy who had just climbed on the horse saw that the blade had reached the front door.

"I'm just here to thank you for leading the way!" Lante raised his knife and fell, and chopped down the gray goose messenger. The other cavalry passed behind Lante and dealt with many barbarians who hadn't had time to mount their horses.

The battle ended quickly, and the reinforcements of the Gray Goose tribe had no time to prepare, and most of them were killed by Rand's cavalry before they even got on their horses.
