After the three people honestly asked Red Mane Yang Lie about his request for the totem, they returned to the tribe. Naturally, the knights did not follow. The sky had darkened, so they could only set up camp outside the tribe.
The totem pole will take a while to complete, so there's no point in hurrying.
The most difficult and troublesome part of making a totem pole is the carving, knife work, and image, all of which affect the quality of the totem pole. There are also various details on the coloring, which made Xiaobai sigh at the professionalism.
During the production period, the knights couldn't be idle. All their supplies had been handed over, and now it was a problem to eat. If they didn't think of a way, they might starve to death before the totem pole was ready.
Fortunately, these guys are not fools. Although they handed over their leather armor, they still kept their weapons, retaining a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
However, in Xiaobai's eyes, these guys are just like a group of destitute beggars, who are desperate for clothes and food, and are extremely poor.
"So, where are we going to get food now?" Xiaobai didn't need to eat himself, but he was curious about what the knights were going to do. Should they go hunting? The risk factor was a bit high, and they might not be able to catch prey.
"We can only plunder." Red-maned Yanglie thought for a moment and sighed.
Their red-maned fierce horse tribe is not the kind of highly aggressive tribe. Based on the principle of being kind to others, most of them are unwilling to conflict with others. They are the kind of kind-hearted tribe that take things easy and live their own lives.
If they hadn't been forced to do so now, they wouldn't have thought of robbing other tribes.
For the people in the caravan, robbery is a hugely profitable thing. Going out to raid from time to time will not only obtain rich supplies and eliminate some potential hidden dangers, but also stimulate the bloodiness of the soldiers and refine their combat skills. It is a very cost-effective plan.
.
The thought of plundering is deeply rooted in the bones of the caravan soldiers. What should we do if we have no supplies? Rob! What should we do if we have no food? Rob! What should we do if we are short of people? Rob!
Why use your brain when you can get it with your fists?
This kind of thinking seems extremely barbaric, but it is in line with the law of the jungle. It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the fighting power of the caravan has always been very strong.
They are a group of desperate fanatics who, driven by profit, will scream and clear away all obstacles on the road.
It must be a headache for the Earth Bear to offend such a group of people, Xiao Bai couldn't help but think.
But who are these hundred or so people planning to plunder? They are all ordinary knights, not a single divine warrior. They probably will never return.
"Do you have a target for plunder?" Xiaobai asked doubtfully.
"It's all over the grassland." A knight came over and said with a curl of his lips.
"What do you mean?" Xiaobai looked at the knight incomprehensively. He was a little confused.
"You come from the forest and may have misunderstandings about the grassland." Red-maned Yanglie patted the horse beside him and said to Xiaobai: "In addition to the horse gangs, there are also a large number of tribes on the grassland. Many tribes are very weak. They even saw knights.
They no longer dare to resist because they are afraid of the caravan's revenge."
Xiaobai stopped talking when he heard Hongmane Yanglie's explanation. Obviously, such tribes were fat sheep raised by caravans. They were the kind of people who would roll their wool when they had nothing to do. This was also the target of Hongmane Yanglie and the others.
To be honest, this kind of plundering is not stressful at all, because there may not even be resistance.
Xiaobai also found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. He felt that the warriors in the grassland were very powerful. That was because he first saw the army of knights in the battlefield of the true god, and then saw the red-maned Yang Lie and others. He subconsciously thought that the people from the grassland tribe should be
Cavalry, in fact, is not. If they were all cavalry, there would be no cavalry, and the entire grassland would enter the stage of great unification.
Secondly, there are divine warriors. Some small tribes really do not have divine warriors. They have sparse populations and lack of resources. When Xiaobai first traveled to another world, the Samsara tribe did not have divine warriors either. He slowly developed the death warriors.
.
Habitual thinking is harmful to people.
Xiaobai secretly warned himself that he should always speak with facts and not take things for granted.
Even so, plundering requires preparation, and Hongmane Yanglie and the others also need to study which tribe to plunder. Not all weak tribes can plunder wantonly.
Some tribes are really raising fat sheep, and people come to collect wool regularly. The consequences of plundering such tribes will not be good.
There are also tribes that can be plundered, but they have little oil and water, and do not have enough resources. It is estimated that one plunder is not enough to consume, so such tribes must also be eliminated.
Among the remaining tribes, we still have to pick those who are weak and can be bullied. After all, there are only a hundred or so people around Hongmane Yanglie now. In the future, when the gods are resurrected, they will need to contribute their faith. If one dies, one will be lost. It is difficult to replace them, so
The best thing is to avoid death.
Xiaobai was not interested in studying where to plunder, while Hongmane Yanglie and the others were studying where to plunder, while Xiaobai went to study the equipment of Hongmane Yanglie and the other knights.
Although almost all the supplies had been handed over, their weapons were still there, so Xiaobai asked the knight to get them.
The weapon used by the red-brown horse knight is a traditional weapon on the grassland, called the half-moon knife.
In Xiao Bai's eyes, the half-moon knife is a rather strange weapon. It is a semicircular weapon with edges inside and outside the arc. It can be used to chop or hook and stab. There are many ways to attack.
of.
What surprised him was that the half-moon knife was actually made of metal. It should be iron. The edge was sharp, but not as strong as expected. Xiaobai tried it with his two-handed sword and found a gap with a casual cut.
When he was in the forest, Xiao Bai had never seen a few tribes that used metal weapons. They were basically stone weapons and bone weapons. Thinking that the half-moon round knife was the traditional weapon of the prairie people, Xiao Bai guessed that the prairie people
In terms of weapons making materials, they may have surpassed the tribes in the forest.
Metal weapons have many advantages over stone and bone weapons. For example, mass production is something that stone and bone weapons cannot achieve.
The simplest method is to create a mold and pour molten metal into it, and you can easily get a rough embryo of a weapon. Stone and bone weapons are not good, they require a little polishing, and they cannot be mass-produced at all.
Furthermore, the quality of the weapons is also guaranteed. When metal is smelted, the quality of the weapons obtained is generally fixed, and there will not be much deviation. It can be guaranteed to be basically the same. However, stone and bone weapons cannot guarantee this at all. After all,
The shape of the stone and the softness and hardness of the bones all affect the weapon.
This is also the reason why Xiaobai asked the tribesmen to prospect for mines before leaving. If he wants to become truly powerful, he must push the tribe into the metal age and use weapons made of black iron, bronze and other materials.
