Lord of Hyranza

"The little money I earn back is not enough to buy black bread, but it won't make people starve to death. Everyone is like living in a cage. In order to survive, they will lose a lot of precious things inexplicably, such as dignity, free."

"After living in the small town for a long time, you will find that even if you want to leave here, it is impossible. The tribesmen have lost their living skills in the wilderness, and there is no place for them in this land."

"The situation of the villagers here is better. At least they can still ride horses and run as they please on the grassland."

Suldak glanced at the guide, but he didn't expect the guide to have so many thoughts.

The colonists in Bena Province need some obedient aborigines to open up farms, pastures, mines, workshops, etc. in the plane. The last thing they want to see is that these aborigines become extremely lazy because of their rich life. Freedom is even more undesirable. If everyone has their own ideas, it may be difficult to manage.

The nobles are willing to come to the Bailin plane in order to open up some plane territories and expand their private property.

Marquis Luther asked Suldak to lead a cavalry battalion to garrison here, mainly to earn military merit and be promoted to the title, and also wanted Suldak to enclose a piece of land for himself if he had the opportunity.It's just that if the current Bailin plane wants to open up land, it has to go to the northernmost town of Dodan, which is already close to the famous Warcraft Forest on the Bailin plane.

And those civilians from Bena Province came to the Bailin plane through the portal, mostly to make more money. Fortune comes.

When the Bena people entered the Bailin plane, they used force to suppress the local aborigines until they surrendered.

In the end, they must be absorbed into the people of the plane of the Grimm Empire. Once the situation stabilizes, more Benar people will continue to enter the Bailin plane through the portal. They occupy a large area of ​​​​the Bailin plane and continue to squeeze Their living space draws nutrients from the Bailin plane and feeds back the Grimm Empire.

In the eyes of the Bena people, this group of aborigines is a group of second-class citizens. They are used to be squeezed from birth to death. Only by squeezing them can they quickly create wealth. The obsession in the bones of the imperial people.

The guide in front of him turned out to be a very special aborigine, and it was hard for Suldak not to look at him with admiration.

At this time, it was probably heard from the herdsman herding the horse that it was Suerdak who rescued the injured herdsman. The old man in the village walked cautiously towards Suerdak.

"Honorable Lord Baron, all the villagers of Desowatz Village thank you for your selfless help!"

The old man saluted Surdak.

Suldak got off his horse and asked the old man, "Are you the village chief here?"

Although Suldak is the garrison chief who came to the Bailin plane from Bena Province, and he can be regarded as a ruler, but he feels... at least the superficial things, such as politeness, gentlemanly demeanor, and knighthood. Spirit or something, should have or have to have.

The old man was indeed the elder of Desowatz Village. For these aborigines, the elder was the head of the village.

Suldak just passed by here, so he didn't intend to have too much contact with them, so he didn't accept the elder's invitation to enter the village, but stayed outside the village for a while, preparing to take the cavalry battalion with him. Leave the village of Desoworth.

Andrew quickly called out the cavalry who were resting at the entrance of the village: "Everyone, we are setting off!"

The cavalry mounted their horses one after another and set off to the north in formation. Just as they set off, the team hadn't walked a few steps away when they heard an ancient Bolai horse neighing "咴咴咴", and then the war horse "boomed" in the team fell down with a bang.

The body of the cavalry on horseback is very flexible, and he jumped off the horse the moment the horse fell down, and was not crushed by the body of the horse...

The moment the horse fell down, it struggled twice on the spot again, with its two front legs supporting half of its body, the horse stood up again, shook its body vigorously, and the heavy materials on the horse's back were shaken There was a loud bang.

Suldak, Andrew, Samira, and Vilu rushed over immediately.

Suldak jumped off the horse, walked to the side of the horse, and checked its physical condition. He could feel that the muscles of the horse's whole body were shaking, but he didn't know what went wrong.

Viru pulled the frightened and pale cavalry from the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and calmed him down.

Surrounded by a group of villagers, the elders of the village walked up to Surdak. He stepped forward and looked up at the tall ancient Bolai horse. Surdak said:

"They are all in poor physical condition. They haven't gotten enough rest. They are very tired and not suitable for long distances. If they keep doing this and don't make any changes, there will be more horses falling down."

Surdak didn't expect the elder to say this, so he asked the elder:

"Are the horses sick?"

The elder shook his head.

"Can't you eat?" Suldak asked again.

The elder shook his head, he sighed softly, walked up to the war horse and put his arms around the horse's head, as if to comfort the war horse, he was still muttering some native language, it seemed that the war horse did not reject He, and then he put his head on the horse's forehead, closed his eyes, stretched out his hands and gently stroked the horse's ears, as if whispering to his lover.

After maintaining this for a long time, the elder raised his head and said to Surdak:

"It said that it came to a very distant desert, experienced some thrilling battles, was cold and hungry all the way, and then sat in the airship for a long time, and the wounds left by standing in the battle could not be fully recovered. Their physical fitness It is already unable to meet your needs, since you have to carry such heavy materials, heavy armor, weapons, and a strong warrior, they not only need to rest, but also need to be comforted and carefully fed."

Unexpectedly, this elder could still communicate with the war horse, which made Suldak's group dumbfounded.

Suldak immediately realized the problems faced by the cavalry battalion. These horses were not physically strong enough to bear the weight of heavy armor, weapons and cavalry.

After all, Gu Bolai horse is more suitable for forming light cavalry.

Suldak was also a little worried. If he rushed to Dodan Town with the cavalry battalion in this way, how many war horses would fall on the way. This group of war horses was not very rich.

He said to Andrew: "I thought that one man and one horse could form a cavalry battalion, but now I see that these horses are far from enough. I don't know if the Goss family's ranch sells Gu Bolai war horses."

He turned to the guide next to him and asked:

"Do you know the manor of the Goss family here?"

Immediately the guide stood up straight and replied:

"Yes, Lord Baron Suldak, the manor of Master Goss's family is next to the small town of Kieran, and it takes a day and a half to get there."

Suldak walked to the elder of Watts Village, thought for a while before saying to the elder:

"If possible, I would like to hire some young men to come to the cavalry battalion. I don't need them to help me fight. I think they can teach my cavalrymen their knowledge of raising horses and superb riding skills. Guys, I'll treat them like horse trainers and pay them, and if my request embarrasses you, pretend I didn't say anything."

The elder did not expect that the request made by Suldak would not have any forceful tone.

He turned to the group of people behind him and asked, "Who among you would like to join the baron's cavalry battalion, help him take care of these horses, and teach these soldiers to ride horses in his barracks?"

A group of aborigine villagers behind them looked at each other in dismay. They exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then said a few short words to the elder in the aboriginal language.

The elder pondered for a while, then said to Suldak:

"Speaking of which, we are still herdsmen on the Goss family's ranch, and we specialize in herding horses for Baron Goss. If you want us to join your army, I'm afraid you have to say hello to Lord Goss."

Suldak originally wanted to meet the ranch owner and discuss with him about buying horses.

He said: "I will, we will go to the small town of Kieran, and take the opportunity to visit Baron Goss."

Hearing what Suldak said, these villagers felt relieved and stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to join Suldak's cavalry battalion.

Considering to let the recruits get familiar with these war horses as soon as possible, Surdak almost always recruited 27 herdsmen with excellent equestrian skills to join the cavalry battalion.

He also adopted the suggestion of the elders of Watts Village, and shared the heavy armor, heavy knight spears and flails carried by the horses with the other [-] horses carrying some supplies behind the team, so as to reduce the burden on these horses .

However, the number of free war horses is too small after all, and there is no way to carry all the heavy armor on horseback. Some heavy armor can only be temporarily put into the magic pocket by Suldak, but Suldak His magic pocket is also full of supplies, and it can't hold these heavy armors.

There was no other way, and Aphrodite could not be notified to activate the summoning circle in full view, so the cavalry battalion could only be stationed outside Watts Village and rest for a day before talking.

Suldak also took advantage of the night to quietly return to the lava mine in the sulfur mine in the tent, took the opportunity to transfer the materials on his body, and then went to the secret room of the red dragon treasure to feed the red dragon Iser.

Suldak knew that it was not easy to lead a cavalry battalion, but he did not expect to encounter such trouble when he first arrived in the Bailin plane.

"If I had known earlier, those two hundred war horses would not be sold in the horse market. It would be good to carry some supplies for us." Suldak told Aphrodite his troubles.

The succubus lay lazily on a stone bed, supported her side cheek with one hand, looked at Suldak with a smile and said:

"Didn't you say that those horses have been eliminated? Even if they are kept in service, they won't last long..."

Suldak frowned and said: "It won't take long, and it's better than nothing. When I first arrived in the Bailin plane, I have to consider buying a horse. I don't know if I can buy it yet!"

"Think about it, this time I have gained something, at least I have hired some local aborigines who are proficient in raising horses." Although the succubus Aphrodite comforted Suldak in this way, there was a gloating expression on her face. There is no cover up...

Suldak waved at Aphrodite and walked into the lava mine.

Chapter 699 Kieran Town

The town of Kieran lies just north of this prairie.

The cavalry battalion rested for a day and a night outside the village of Watts.

During this time, the indigenous herdsmen screened all 550 Gubolai war horses.

Although these war horses seem to have no problems on the surface, they are all in a state of fatigue.The daily marching prevents the horses from getting enough rest, which eventually leads to a rapid decline in body fat of the horses, which is also the main reason why some horses are overwhelmed and collapse.

After a day of recuperation, the load was lightened in time, and the condition of the horse seemed to be much better than yesterday, and it was considered to be ready for travel.

Guided by guides and local herdsmen, the cavalry battalion continued north along the Bailin River.

The road is monotonous and long, and in some places only the ruts are not flooded by weeds.

A field of wild leeks in the distance is like a white cloud. Several local aborigines are squatting on the grass, picking those wild leeks, and a few horses are grazing leisurely there.

The entire grassland looks like a light green ocean from a distance.

There is a wind blowing, and the blades of grass rise and fall like waves.

It wasn't until the continuous mountains appeared on the horizon in the distance that Suerdak realized that this fertile grassland was about to come to an end, and the undulating mountains became bigger and bigger in his vision.

After driving for a day, finally on the fourth day after leaving Wilkes City, I saw the town of Kieran hidden at the foot of the mountain in my vision.

According to the guide, the Bailin River changed direction in front of Kilan Town and flowed westward, forming a lake and wetland not far from the town. It enters a canyon and flows westward into a huge inland lake.

The town is built along a gentle slope, and the row upon row of houses is many times better than that of Watts Village. It leans on the lake formed by the Bailin River, and it seems to build this exquisite manor, which is covered by a birch forest.

I didn't expect to meet this caravan again, it turned out to be in Kilan Town.

The carriages in the caravan parked in the empty field outside Kilan Town, and they displayed the goods they brought, forming a small market just outside the town, allowing the residents of the town to choose at will, and the types of goods are also There are a variety of things, from silk, fur, cloth to various gold, silver and bronze wares, etc., but at most there are some iron pots with round belly and rings.

It seems that the business is not bad. Many residents of the town gather here, and some people even bought barrels of fruit wine from the caravan. These oak barrels are not too big, and can be easily carried on the shoulders and transported home. .

Dinner was being prepared in the camp behind the caravan. A large iron pot was set up behind to boil broth, and three cooks were making scones in front of a pan.

A group of children from the town stood outside the camp, watching this side curiously. They seemed to be very interested in the food cooked here. They squatted on the low wall with bare feet, laughing and laughing, but no one was there. Dare to approach.

The women in the caravan wash their clothes by the river. They wear cool skirts and slippers, wash the clothes in pots and hang them on the grass by the river, and then squat in the shallow water by the river to wash their hair , the river water wet their skirts, revealing their youthful and hot bodies.

The young people in the small town couldn't help squatting on the only wooden bridge in the small town, watching this side through the wooden railings, and pointing at the women in the caravan from time to time.

It seems that there is a row of wooden railings blocking their bodies, which will make them feel safer in their hearts.

In fact, these women in the caravan are not expensive, as long as you take out ten silver coins, you can invite them to spend a wonderful night. Perhaps those young people have this kind of thought, so they will watch from afar.

A group of cavalry came from outside the town, which naturally alarmed the army stationed in the town.

The private army of the Langdon family stationed here thought that the replacement army had rushed over, and the head of the infantry regiment rushed over happily, intending to exchange defense with the commander of the cavalry battalion, Suldak. The cavalry battalion was about to go to Dodan Town, and it was hard to hide the disappointment on its face for a while.

Then I heard from Suldak that the heavy armored infantry regiment of the Luthor Legion had entered the Bailin plane three days ago, knowing that the day when I returned to Bena Province was just around the corner, my disappointment was quickly comforted Suddenly, these infantrymen became very excited again and allowed Suldak's cavalry battalion to station outside the town.

So with the permission of the local garrison, Surdak and the cavalry battalion stationed outside the town.

The steward of the caravan saw Suldak and his cavalry battalion from a distance, so he came over to say hello to Suldak.

Since the other party gave Suldak two boxes of prickly pear fruit as a greeting during the previous trip, Suldak had no reason to show a cold face to the caravan steward this time, pretending that no one should enter.

The caravan steward was also a very measured person. He didn't go into the cavalry camp, but stood at the gate of the camp and said to Suldak with a smile:

"I thought you would go ahead of us, but unexpectedly you fell behind us."

Suldak patted the horse beside him and said:

"We had a rest day in Watts Village, and some trips were delayed. As for rushing to Kieran Town this time, it was also a temporary decision. I heard that Baron Goss lives in a manor near the town, and I plan to pay a visit."

The steward of the caravan turned his head and glanced at the manor by the lake outside the town, and introduced to Suldak:

"I have dealt with Baron Goss several times before. He has moved to Kieran Town for many years and has been managing this pasture. In addition to several large herds of horses, there are also some yellow sheep and cattle on this pasture. Every year, a large number of gazelles and cattle rush to Wilkes City, which is one of the best ranchers in this area and the largest meat supplier."

Suldak asked again: "Do you know what is the relationship between this Baron Goss and the Goss family in Hailansa City?"

The steward of the caravan pondered for a while, and then said: "I haven't heard of this, maybe it's a relative."

Then the caravan manager's eyes fell on the aborigine herdsman who was managing the horses in the camp, and he lowered his voice and said to Suldak:

"However, I see that you have allowed some local aborigines to join the cavalry battalion. With all due respect, many of these aborigines have connections with the horse thieves on the grassland. They are not trustworthy. They may sell you to horse thieves one day. You guys If you are a newcomer, you have to be careful no matter what you do, so as not to be cheated and have disputes."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay special attention to these."

Suldak whispered to the caravan steward.

The two chatted a few more words casually, and the caravan steward was called away. It was said that they were going to negotiate a business.

There are also some trivial matters on Suldak's side, waiting for him to deal with.

The news that the cavalry battalion was stationed outside the town quickly spread to the inside of the town. Some residents of the town were standing outside the barracks holding some items. Some were holding a basket of cabbage, and some were carrying two silver scale fish. , There are also some seasonal fruits, and some people put food stalls outside the barracks. The fragrant fried food is put out, and the aroma immediately attracts many new troops in the barracks.

If Gullitum hadn't rushed to the lake to catch fish, I'm afraid the food stall would have made a lot of money today.

Even without the ogre as a big customer, the recruits still surrounded the food stall and bought all the fried food on the food stall.

Seeing that the tents were set up at the camp, Suldak took Selena and Samira into the small town together.

Kieran Town doesn't look that big. There are only cross-shaped main streets. There are many shops on these two main streets. It seems that there are all kinds of businesses. Some shops and workshops are mixed in it. Weapon shops, leather shops, Tailor shops, magic pharmacies, restaurants, and hotels are all in the most prominent positions on the street. The plaques of these shops are also very clear hanging outside the shops.

It can be seen that almost all the shop owners here are immigrants from Bena Province, and some of the shop assistants are also from Bena. Some local aborigines can only hear their voices in some workshops, and most of them do it again. Some drudgery.

The living atmosphere in the small town is very rich. The main streets are also paved with stones, and flower ponds are built at the intersections. Although this small town is not too big, it is managed in an orderly manner.

It is adjacent to a not-so-high mountain, and there are sparse trees growing on the mountain. Some trees have been transplanted in the town, but the number of these trees is not too large.

"It seems that the residents in this small town live very comfortably. If they can live here for a while, it would be nice to think about it. Every morning, you can see the lake outside the town when you open the window. Seeing the vast grassland..." Selena sighed as she walked.
