The mouth of the Fichar River is almost 400 kilometers away from the Gray Eagle tribe...
When the sky just started to light up in the morning, Zhang Tie set off with the Gray Eagle tribe's team. At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, after six or seven hours of running, the Gray Eagle tribe's team finally arrived at Feqia. Er River mouth.
The mouth of the Fichar River and Snow Wolf Lake are in two completely different directions. Snow Wolf Lake is in the northeast of the Gray Eagle Tribe, while the mouth of the Fichar River is in the northwest of the Gray Eagle Tribe. The distance between the two is about 500 kilometers. .
Along the way, Zhang Tie finally fully realized the ability of a rhinoceros to run long distances, and became addicted to a cavalry. His riding skills improved a bit after more than 400 kilometers of running-in. At this moment, Zhang Tie no longer needed to control the reins with his hands, but could drive the rhinoceros purely with his feet.
For any cavalryman, freeing his hands on his mount is the first step to gaining combat power.
Zhang Tie also didn't expect that during this trip to the ice and snow wilderness, he would unexpectedly help him practice riding, one of the six required courses in Qianlong Hall, and he was in a good mood. Although he knew that if he were in Qianlong Hall, the so-called riding course would not be as simple as it would be. It would just allow you to ride on it and slide around without falling off. It would definitely also include a lot of combat skills and various riding movements on these mounts. Standardized training with the cavalry, but what the heck, these things will come slowly. Zhang Tie doesn’t believe that with his current status as the only descendant of the Dahuang Sect, there will be mounts that he can’t handle...
Therefore, Zhang Tie had a great time riding! For others, this is a march, but for Zhang Tie, it is really similar to traveling.
After the torture in the past two days and early this morning, the energy of the bone-blasting needle in Zhang Tie's body has been reduced by almost one-third, and the rest can be completely resolved in three or four days. So Zhang Tie is not worried at all.
Moreover, Zhang Tie also estimated that the pain he endured in resolving the Bone Exploding Needle in the past few days has probably caused the small tree in the Black Iron Castle to grow an iron fruit, which can be eaten no matter where he is. , Zhang Tiedu felt that life was full of sunshine. This is just like being a human punching bag in the battle hall in Black Flame City. Many times, as long as the mentality changes, everything will change accordingly.
The two people in the Gray Eagle tribe gritted their teeth when Zhang Tie rode back and forth on the rhinoceros horse, running back and forth happily and letting go of his hands to make a flying gesture.
The first person who gritted her teeth was Aurora. Aurora couldn't figure out why a guy who was hit by a bone-blasting needle and basically lost most of his freedom could still be so happy. Ever since Seton said those strange words to her that night, for some reason, she felt that this guy Zhang Tie was very unpleasant to her whenever she saw him in the past two days.
"He just went to Snow Wolf Lake yesterday to hunt the giant wasteland wolf, and didn't do anything else, right?" Aurora, who was also riding a snow-white rhinoceros, asked Seton through gritted teeth, about the reason Zhang Tie found. , relying on women’s terrible intuition, no matter how pious Zhang Tie behaved, Aurora didn’t believe it.
"This guy is really just hunting the giant wasteland wolf. He has done nothing else!" Seton said softly. At this time, even he admired Zhang Tie for his strong nerves. Of course, this guy learned to ride a horse. His skill in martial arts is also very powerful. There are very few people who can achieve his level in two days. For all this, Seton attributed it to Zhang Tie's "mysterious background" and the result of his childhood upbringing. Perhaps Zhang Tie had been there before. I have been exposed to other mounts, so I can adapt to rhinoceros so quickly. If I can be exposed to mounts since I was a child, my family affairs will naturally be good. At this time, if Zhang Tie pulled out the "mount" he had been exposed to since he was a child - the modified tricycle used to pull goods at home, Seton would not believe that the "mount" Zhang Tie had played with since he was a child was this. .
"This guy is so cunning. I always feel like he hasn't told us much truth. You can't be fooled by his appearance!" Aurora reminded Seton.
Seton scratched his head, chuckled, and glanced at Aurora's mount, "Speaking of appearance, have you noticed that the color of the rhino you chose is different from that guy's pet owl? The colors are exactly the same, both white, and they look very matching. I remember that the rhino you used to ride was black... "
After Sai Dui said this, without waiting for Aurora to get angry, he kicked the rhinoceros on the ground with both feet, and his rhinoceros rushed out.
Aurora didn't get angry, but was stunned for a moment...
…
The person in the Gray Eagle tribe who gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhang Tie's cheerful appearance was the guy Zhang Tie met outside the tribe yesterday who challenged him - Saren.
Saren is the eldest son of Elder Oliyev and the leader of the largest armed force in the Gray Eagle tribe. Among the sons of Elder Oliyev, this guy is the strongest and has reached level nine.
Without mobilizing for war, there are more than 900 professional warriors in the Gray Eagle Tribe. These more than 900 people are the strongest military force of the Gray Eagle Tribe. Nearly 600 of the more than 900 people are all led by Saren. Led by others, there were only about 300 warriors loyal to Aurora, led by Seton.
The so-called warrior, of course, does not mean just anyone holding a knife can be called a warrior. With the population size and economic strength of the Gray Eagle tribe, it is already a bit difficult to maintain a regular combat strength of about 900 people.
Professional warriors do not participate in the productive labor of the tribe, so they do not bring a penny of income to the tribe on a daily basis. However, the total expenses of a professional warrior's weapons and equipment, armor, training, and daily consumption of supplies, It's definitely not small, especially in a place like the Ice and Snow Wasteland, where almost all warriors must be equipped with a mount in order to have mobility. Calculated in this way, maintaining an ordinary warrior's various expenses for a year requires at least 50 gold coins. , a fixed expenditure of tens of thousands of gold coins a year is indeed a huge expense for a small tribe like the Gray Eagle tribe without a strong economic backbone.
Because of this, what Aurora needs most now is money. With money, she can train powerful warriors. More and more warriors can help her take back the tribe without any blood. authority. In the tribe, in addition to representing force, warriors also represent families. The more warriors under your command, the more families in the tribe that support you, and the greater your authority will naturally be.
Aurora brought 400 warriors this time. Among these 400 people, there were 200 from her and 200 from Saren. Aurora was the leader of this team and Saren was the leader of this team. deputy commander. One of the conditions for Elder Oliyev's support this time for Aurora to bring so many people from the Gray Eagle tribe to the Fichar River mouth gathering is that he will share half of the harvest...
