Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 79
On the slightly undulating plain, two towering ridges suddenly appeared on the distant mountain range, as if there was a mighty force splitting the mountain from the middle.

"My lord, the Cornicol Pass is ahead. We have explored the plain in front of the pass, and there are no tribes." After Neil's investigation, he returned to Rand and reported to Rand.

Today is November 11th, and it has been 27 days since Rand set off to the south. During the first 8 days, Rand traveled an average of less than 7 kilometers a day. Charge training.

Before camping out every day, Rand will take the knights for 1-2 times of formation and charge training.

After about 10 days of training, the knights in the salt mine have recovered their riding skills. At least now, they are on par with barbarian riders when they line up and charge. Even the big stone who once despised the knights is now Seeing the knights is also very respectful.

After setting off at noon, Neil, who had completed his scouting in the morning, would tell Rand whether there were tribes or targets nearby that could be attacked.

Rand swept all the barbarian camps along the way in 7 or 8 days. The biggest achievement was that he directly captured 4 medium-sized tribes, and two medium-sized tribes and eight small tribes took the initiative to join in, allowing Rand Obtained 70 barbarian cavalry (human + horse), and an additional 120 black scale horses and more than 30 human demon possessors.

The addition of 200 black-scaled horses allowed Rand to greatly expand his team. Now every main knight squadron has doubled in size, adding 10 demon possessors and 25 barbarian cavalry.

The two cavalry teams added 10 cavalrymen, and Neil and Greyhound's teams also added 30 demon possessors and cavalrymen each.

This round of expansion has basically added all the newly added black scale horses to the team. Rand's entire force has reached 400 horses. Now the team is from Big Rock to Roll. No one will doubt that Rand can win the victory against Gray Goose .

Every afternoon, when Rand leads the team to a new camping point, each detachment will disperse to hunt, just like Rand set traps on various rivers before, and the demon possessors will catch the water swordfish by themselves , mudslide crocodile, and even ordinary beasts on the plain.

The army has doubled, and the consumption of logistics has also doubled. Therefore, the monster owners need to hunt and replenish the monster meat by themselves. Of course, every team that captures the monster will leave some monster meat for the people who are busy in the camp. Rand who oversees setting up camp and burying pots for cooking.

The good news about food and grass is that due to the slow progress of the rand troops, the large troops behind are getting closer to rand's position, and the distance that rand advances every day is actually within the detection range of the mage's eye on the mast of the luxurious carriage In the meantime, there is no need to worry about problems with the team delivering food and grass in the morning.

Therefore, the daily movement trajectory of the two camps is that in the morning, Neil scouts forward, Rand leads the troops to train, and the rear camp delivers food and grass to Rand; The ruins of the camp where Rand left; in the afternoon, Rand set up a new camp and sent out various teams to hunt. After setting up camp in the rear camp, he began to prepare for the second morning transportation of grain, grass and supplies.

The nearly synchronous mode of the two camps ensures that Rand's camp always has ample food, and the main camp in the rear can receive support from Rand's army at any time, and Rand can also take advantage of the support of the main camp at noon every noon. Supplies Learn about the difficulties Lenia and Gandalf face in camp management.

During the march in the camp, Laniya once again showed her extraordinary management ability, the entire camp moved in an orderly manner, and it only took 2 days to convince all the demon possessors in the camp to her.

Just the day before, at noon on November 11, Neil came over and said that he had found an excellent camp, with natural flat ground, and even a few small tribes that could provide supplies.

What Neil is talking about is the ruins of Yeqi City, which is also the place where the Gray Goose Tribe met every time. From the highest point of the Yeqi City ruins, you can already see the Cornico Pass. From the ruins to the pass, at most it is It takes a day.

On the afternoon of the 26th, Rand led a team to enter the western city wall of the ruins of Yeqi City. There was a large open space under the city wall. The two small tribes who originally lived there surrendered Rand without any resistance.

Lante also met the latest team of envoys sent by the head goose here. When the envoy first saw Lante, they thought it was a reinforcement organized by the grassland to reinforce the gray goose. While happily hugging Lante, they laughed and scolded them for being so late. just arrived.

Lante did not expose himself, but asked about the situation of the battle.

"The Viscount Rotor who blocked us all the year round is long gone, I guess you know it too.

Ten days ago, our head goose led people to fight against the earl of the maned wolf, and we won a big victory. The old maned wolf hid in his stone castle in despair, and never came out. "

"We defeated the old maned wolf?" Rand was finally able to say his earl's nickname without any scruples, and Rolle beside him couldn't stop him.

"That's right, it was a few adult priests who showed their supernatural powers, and the head goose said that they put a curse on the old maned wolf." The envoy showed off very happily.

"Then since the old maned wolf is afraid to leave the den, does the leader still need our support?"

"Of course we need it. Now we are running out of food. In the past two days, the geese sent several teams to the small territory of the human race to get food. Unexpectedly, they were attacked by the knights of the maned wolves, and we lost dozens of people.

The head goose was very annoyed when he found out, didn't he ask me to bring a few brothers over to urge reinforcements on the grassland? "

"Doesn't that mean that there are less than 200 people in front of us now?"

"That's not the case, but didn't we still occupy the Rotor Castle, and some people had to be stationed there to watch the slaves we robbed before."

"Oh, that's it, thank you for the envoys. Don't worry, I will take the soldiers to find the goose right away." Lante sorted out the information he wanted to know the most, and handed several envoys to his subordinates to solve.

That night, Albert rode directly to Rand's camp. During the day, he saw the ruins of Yeqi City through the eyes of the mage. At night, Albert could no longer rest in peace, so he simply ran away on horseback. 30 kilometers to the camp in Rand.

In Rand's view, Albert should have come here for a pilgrimage, and he stroked the magnificent west gate of Yeqi City with a pious attitude.

"This trace should be left by the orcs. It has been almost 300 years, and it is still so clear. If it is restored in the future, shouldn't it be left as a warning to future generations?"

Alberto was stroking the city wall while whispering to himself, looking at Rand, Gandalf and Wendy next to him speechless for a while.

"You haven't won the lottery yet, have you figured out how to spend it?" Rand complained silently in his heart.
