Many members of nomadic tribes spend their entire lives wandering on the grasslands.
They herd cattle, sheep, and horses, and were constantly on the move, never staying in one place for too long.
Because of this, it is difficult for nomadic tribes to live like those territorial tribes.
Not to mention various technological materials and commodities, just materials, metals like iron and copper, every nomadic tribe is in short supply.
They don't have time to look for mineral deposits, or even if they find them, they don't have time to mine them.
Nomads are extremely passionate about metals. They are not afraid of metals and will take as much as they have.
Every caravan is very important to the nomadic tribe.
The appearance of Li Ziyu is nothing less than an opportunity for Keane.
If cooperation can really be achieved, given the size of the other party's city, it is likely that the Taomas tribe will take off directly.
The fighting ability of the nomadic tribe is not bad.
Their long-term nomadic life has established their warlike nature.
Although there are many shortages of materials, development will never stop.
The nomadic tribe mainly develops various witchcraft and magic, and also has a large number of cavalry and long-range troops.
If there is sufficient resource supply, any nomadic tribe will want to start a war mode to annex more nomadic tribes and absorb more people, thus forming a snowball and making their tribe larger and larger.
When Li Ziyu asked what commodities the Taomas tribe needed, Keen immediately said that they needed a lot of basic commodities, ores, wood, stones, magic materials, etc., they all needed them.
If there are no basic materials, weapons and daily items are also acceptable.
When Li Ziyu heard this, he was happy.
You see, isn't this a coincidence? If you want other things, it might be more troublesome, but if you want basic materials, it's easy.
He always has a large amount of basic materials stored in his warehouse.
What Pantech needs are basic materials. With basic materials, he can make all kinds of things he needs at any time.
Therefore, there are always a large amount of materials piled in the warehouse of the Fortress of the Undead.
A small part of these materials were collected by Li Ziyu himself, while more were exchanged by Zhang Peng through transactions.
Hearing that the Lord of the Undead could provide a large amount of basic materials, Keen immediately became excited and asked Li Ziyu what he needed.
What Li Ziyu proposed was intelligence and corpses.
The main thing is intelligence. Li Ziyu has been in the grassland for too short a time and does not understand the grassland. This is very dangerous. No traveler understands the role of intelligence.
Without enough intelligence support, you are no different from a blind man.
Considering that the Taomas tribe is a relatively small nomadic tribe, Li Ziyu does not have high hopes for their intelligence network. Many important information cannot be known by such a small tribe.
But corpses are no problem. Nomadic tribes make a living by grazing, and their main food is meat.
Naturally, you have to kill cows and sheep to eat meat, so those bones are of no use. If you can use them to trade with yourself, the other party will definitely agree.
In fact, it is.
When Keen knew that corpses and bones could be exchanged, his whole body went numb.
It's so heartbreaking.
They really don't lack bones or anything like that.
For such a large tribe, they eat a lot of cattle and sheep every day.
The meat was eaten, but the bones were useless and were thrown away.
If they could have met the Lord of the Undead earlier, the Taomas tribe would have become a famous tribe on the grassland.
After the two parties reached an agreement on the transaction, Keen left and returned to the Taomas tribe to prepare "goods."
Now he is eager to return home.
People in the tribe don’t know that bones can be used as commodities, so don’t throw them all away!
Li Ziyu prepared a corpse transport truck, filled it with metal ores and smelted metal ingots, sent hundreds of skeleton knights and a thousand evil spirit rangers to escort it, and followed Keen back to the Taomas tribe.
The team set off soon.
The Fortress of the Undead is not far from the Taomas tribe, and one day is enough to go back and forth.
When he went to the Fortress of the Undead, Keen felt anxious. When he returned, Keen felt excited and happy.
He saw the hope of rising, and a fire was gradually burning in his heart, which is called ambition.
The sun sets in the west, casting red clouds all over the sky.
The birds that had been flying in the grassland sky for a day gradually disappeared and returned to their nests.
In the evening, the Skeleton Knight and Keen's team were finally about to return to the Taomas tribe.
In the distance, the outline of the tribe can already be seen.
But for some reason Keen felt uneasy in his heart.
He frowned, raised his head and looked around, raised his hand, and the team stopped moving forward.
A centaur warrior ran up to Keen and asked softly, "Chief, what's wrong?"
Keen looked around and lowered his voice and said, "It's too quiet around here, something's wrong."
The centaur warrior was shocked when he heard this, and he also realized that something was wrong.
Normally at this time, they can see sheep, cattle, horses, and tribal people grazing.
But today, they saw nothing, the shepherds were gone.
"There's a problem with the tribe!" Keen shouted.
Keen pulled out his spear and ran towards the direction of the tribe.
Five hundred centaur warriors also picked up their weapons and ran wildly behind Keen.
【Should we go there?】
[Tsk, of course I have to go there, it’s probably going to be lively.]
[Hulking! That is our ally, our friend! How can we just watch the danger, we have to help!]
【Yes! We have to help!】
[Well, why should we help? They are not our tribe...]
【You are stupid, you have a fight.】
[Huh? Oh oh oh, yes! We can’t watch our allies in danger, brothers, rush! 】
In the soul network, the Skeleton Knights just discussed it and decided to take action for their "friends".
When a friend is in trouble, it’s natural to help him!
The undead have their own true feelings, and they don’t want to fight just because their hands are itchy!
Evil rangers were arranged to guard the corpse transport truck, and hundreds of skeleton knights pulled their soul horses and chased Keen and the others.
Taumas tribe.
The tribe, which was supposed to be lively and peaceful, was now in flames, wooden carts, and makeshift shops were smashed into a mess.
Totem poles stand tall, with various animal patterns and wrinkles painted on them, and red streamers flying high like flags.
The totem poles formed a protective formation to protect the Taomas tribesmen.
The shaman wears a strange mask on his face, wears a piece of animal skin clothing hanging on his body, and holds various magical weapons in his hand. He is constantly chanting incantations to strengthen the power of the protective formation.
A team of more than three thousand centaur warriors surrounded the Taumas tribe, shooting arrows from time to time.
Their arrows are not ordinary wooden arrows. There are runes written on the shoulders and arrow shafts. They are arrows blessed by spells. They have an armor-piercing effect and can cause damage to defensive formations.
The arrow hit the protective formation, causing ripples in circles.
The shaman of the Taomas tribe trembled, but quickly stabilized himself and continued chanting the incantation.
This team of more than 3,000 centaur warriors came very suddenly and directly attacked the tribe.
The Taomas tribesmen were unprepared and were shot dead by the enemy. The outer perimeter of the tribe was also breached.
The soldiers wanted to take up arms to resist, but the opponent was obviously very experienced in plundering and did not give the tribal warriors a chance at all.
Fortunately, the shaman released the defensive circle in time, which saved the tribesmen from being slaughtered.
The centaurs who attacked the tribe did not raise any flags or send any signals, which showed that the other party did not want them to know who they were.
This is a group of tribes that often plunder on the grasslands, and they are probably the tribes that live by plundering.
Only they will do this.
Tribes that live by plunder will not leave any room. They will kill everyone, take away the tribe's supplies, and then leave.
Tribes that do not live by plundering fight each other for pasture.
Most people will discuss it in advance and at least communicate.
After communication fails, the attack will be launched.
When attacking, they will put up a flag to show who they are. At the same time, after the opponent enters the defense, they will stop attacking and give the opponent a chance to leave.
After all, the purpose is for pasture, not for killing people.
The centaurs who attacked the Taumas tribe were uniformly dressed in light armor, and their weapons were scimitars and bows and arrows.
It is a light cavalry that is good at using speed to attack.
They will use bows and arrows to shoot rapidly from a distance to form fire suppression, then use their speed to launch an impact, and then repeat the previous process.
The attack method is very monotonous, but very effective.
Without any precautions, anyone would become panicked in the face of a dense rain of arrows. At this time, the cavalry could easily achieve good results if they charged in again.
This is how the Taumas tribe was defeated, and the warriors did not even have a chance to pick up weapons.
Keen and the five hundred centaur warriors hid in the grass, secretly observing the swimming team.
"Damn it, the tribe is under attack!"
"We don't have enough manpower, so we can't beat the opponent even if we rush over."
"My wife and children, Chief, fight with them!"
The centaur warrior's eyes turned red. The tribe was their home and everything to them.
Their relatives, young and old, and their supplies are all in the tribe. If they are looted, they will have nothing.
Keen's face was gloomy as he looked at the centaurs who gathered together and kept shooting arrows, thinking in his mind.
He needs a chance!
Even though there were five hundred centaurs around him, and they were all strong warriors in the tribe, it was useless.
These normal tribesmen are different from the tribesmen who only rely on plundering for a living, and there is a huge gap in their combat effectiveness.
After all, one makes a living by herding, and the other makes a living by killing people.
If you rush out in a hurry, not only will you not be able to solve the tribe's troubles, but you will probably lose your own life.
They are the only strength of the Taomas tribe at the moment.
Fortunately, the shaman activated the protective formation and was able to hold on for a while, allowing him to look for opportunities.
"Hold on, don't panic!" Keen pressed his hand, signaling to the Centaur warriors of the Taumas tribe not to panic.
Tap tap tap...
There was the unhidden sound of rapid horse hooves behind him.
Keen looked away and turned to look.
It's them!
Those undead knights!
What do these guys want, are they looking for death?!
The skeleton knight rode a tall horse and galloped recklessly without any attempt to hide it.
Keen immediately wanted to curse.
It's so unreliable.
This is a grassland, and the enemy is a centaur like them!
Centaurs are very sensitive to cavalry, and the running of their mounts will attract their attention.
Keen wanted to stop the Skeleton Knights, but was a step too late. The Skeleton Knights brushed against them and rushed out.
It’s over!
These guys are dead!
Keen closed his eyes.
It seems there is no chance of cooperation.
If the knight sent by the other party to escort the goods dies here, it would be a waste to cooperate. It would be better if they don't kill him.
This was the first transaction between the two parties, and there was no trust at all. If a few people died, hey, Keane didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The skeleton knights don't know what Keen is thinking, they only know that there are enemies ahead!
Enemy.
very nice.
The sun is setting, and darkness slowly spreads from the distance.
The soul fire became more powerful, like lanterns.
【Brothers! It’s game time.】
【Don't drop the chain.】
【Formation! Keep formation!】
【charge--】
The skeleton knight at the front raised the knight's spear in his hand and signaled to his teammates. In response, his teammates raised their knight's spear one by one.
The leading knight lowered his body and pointed his spear forward. The soul war horse matched his thoughts and accelerated suddenly.
Blue flames ignited on the grassland, which were the traces left by the hoofs of the soul war horse, moving forward.
Tap tap tap... rumble...
The sound of horse hooves intertwined together, like war drums.
The team slowly expanded into a line, and hundreds of skeleton knights charged brazenly towards the three thousand centaur warriors.
The sound of galloping war horses was noticed by the centaur warriors just as Keen guessed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They were surprised and almost laughed out loud when they saw that the other party only had a hundred people and was not a centaur.
Where did this fool come from?
Don’t you know that the prairie cavalry centaurs are the strongest?
He rushed here to die.
In this case, your dream will come true.
The centaur leader didn't bother to pay attention at all. He waved his hand, and five hundred warriors were immediately divided into the team.
Although they are horse bandits, they still have a sense of honor as centaurs.
Five hundred centaur warriors hung their bows and arrows on their backs and drew their scimitars.
With a shout, five hundred centaur warriors greeted the skeleton warrior.
【Peel through them!】
The soul energy of the skeleton knights flowed into the knight's spear, and the knight's spear suddenly lit up under the infusion of energy.
Strips of blue light stretched out behind them.
In the distance, Keen watched helplessly as the Skeleton Knight and Centaur Warrior collided.
The knight's spear pierced the chests of the centaur warriors, impaling them.
Even the physique of the centaur warriors could not stop this piercing. Their bodies rose from the ground and were lifted into the air by the skeleton knight.
It has to be said that centaurs are qualified as cavalry.
Many centaur warriors dodged the knight's spear and slashed at the skeleton knight with their scimitars.
But goose, it’s useless.
The scimitar, which was blessed with a sharp edge, only scratched a streak of sparks on the knight's armor. On the other hand, the skeleton knight did nothing.
As the core unit of the undead, they are not only powerful in attack, but also have excellent defense.
Just wanting to kill the Skeleton Knight with a scimitar is really a wishful thinking.
With one touch, Keen's expected scene of heavy casualties among the Skeleton Knights did not appear. Instead, the Centaur warriors suffered heavy losses, and a few unlucky ones were even lifted into the air.
"It's penetrated!" Keen opened his mouth slightly, unable to believe his eyes.
Are these knights so strong?
Centaur warriors are natural cavalry. There is almost no cavalry on the grassland that is more outstanding than centaur warriors.
As long as it is cavalry, it involves mounts. No matter what, it cannot make up for the shortcomings caused by cooperation.
Centaurs are different. They are half human and half horse. From the moment they are born, they are knights.
As cavalry, they don't have to think about coordination or delay. These are non-existent, so centaur warriors are the strongest cavalry.
Five hundred centaur warriors faced off against a hundred skeleton knights. Not only did they fail to destroy each other, they actually pierced their formation!
Keane felt incredible.
After the skeleton knights broke through the team of centaur warriors, they continued to charge towards the large army ahead without any delay.
