Early the next morning, 50 knights were ready, in groups of 10, and prepared packages full of dried meat. Like the red-maned Yang Lie, they bid farewell and set off to exchange for materials.
Spring is the season of revival of all things, and it is also the gathering of dangers.
The revival of all things also means an increase in predators. Hungry predators are all eyeing their prey. If the knights set out at this time, the harvest will be great, but it will also be accompanied by huge dangers.
However, Xiao Bai and Red Mane Yanglie were not particularly worried about the comfort of the knights. After all, they could traverse the wilderness and they could traverse the grassland. In comparison, the grassland was much safer than the wilderness.
As long as they are vigilant enough, the knights won't have much of a problem.
50 knights left to exchange for supplies, while the remaining knights stayed in the camp.
Red-maned Yang Lie does not intend to be idle during this period. Although there is no way to fully arm the horse, with the existing materials, he can still make some saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes.
Originally, he planned to let the knights make it, but Xiaobai did not agree with Red Mane Yanglie's idea.
According to primitive people's thinking, any good thing must be in their own hands, but Xiaobai doesn't think so. Division of labor and cooperation are the right way.
Let alone a primitive man, even a modern man cannot be comprehensive and proficient in everything, let alone a primitive man with a short life. It is undoubtedly stupid to throw his limited life into meaningless things.
Weapons were made because there was no alternative. There was a lack of population at the time, and the knights had no choice but to do it themselves.
But now that there are slaves in the wilderness, do we still have to make the utensils ourselves?
Instead of making these things by yourself, it is better to train wilderness slaves to make them. It is more convenient and the knights can get more training time and develop their own fighting skills at night.
Red-maned Yanglie disagreed with Xiaobai's statement, but there was nothing he could do about it. These things were all "invented" by Xiaobai, and he was still his boss, so he could only obey his orders honestly.
Xiaobai selected a group of people from the wilderness slaves to be responsible for manufacturing various artifacts, and even handed over the manufacturing of weapons to them, allowing the red-maned Yang Lie knights to be completely liberated.
Xiaobai is not stupid. He will not teach everything to the wilderness slaves. Instead, he will split it into several parts, and each person will be responsible for one part, just like an assembly line project.
In this way, the procedure will be much simpler and easier to manufacture. The wilderness slaves will soon become proficient and the manufacturing speed will also increase.
The benefits are obvious. First of all, confidentiality is ensured. Everything made by everyone is part of it. When integrating, the knights themselves do the last step, and the slaves do not complete the last step. Secondly, the speed of manufacturing is greatly improved, making it faster and more convenient.
When a tribe is on the right track, the rest is just a snowball, just like a machine that has been started, rumbling and rumbling, and it just needs to wait for the results.
Red-maned Yanglie leads the knights in endless training every day, while Xiaobai wanders around the camp boredly. When he is too bored, he runs out to hunt giant beasts and insects to feed the knights, or goes to the temple to hold meetings with the gods.
, to learn about the progress of the Samsara Tribe.
The days are boring, but also fulfilling.
Just like that, at the beginning of summer, the knights who went out to exchange for materials began to return.
The pile of materials, which had already fallen and was in small stock, became high again and piled up into a hill. The knights achieved rich results and miraculously there was no attrition. Everything went smoothly.
Red Mane Yang Lie also began to hand over the equipment made during this period to the knights and update the knights' riding equipment.
With sufficient resources, armor for war horses also began to be manufactured.
The Red-maned Fierce Horse tribe has begun to enter the development stage, and the god Red-maned Fierce Horse has almost recovered. As long as some time passes, he can return to his peak and start creating his own divine warriors.
There is also good news from the Samsara tribe. The Samsara caravan has entered the grassland and has initially established diplomatic relations with the grassland. Of course, the guarantee of "peaceful diplomatic relations" is because of those death warriors wearing black armor.
Riki also enters the Jinora Forest, and will soon be able to meet the Jinora Gods.
Everything made Xiaobai very satisfied and in a good mood.
Whenever people are happy, it means trouble is coming.
The knights inadvertently heard the news that someone was actually interested in the Red-maned Horse Tribe, and openly announced that they would incorporate the Red-maned Horse Tribe.
Because of the presence of horse gangs in the grassland, private fights between horse god's subordinates are generally not allowed.
But this private fight does not mean that fighting is not allowed. In order to maintain the blood of the soldiers, fighting is not only not prohibited, but even encouraged.
Xiaobai inquired and realized that the "private fighting" of the caravan did not allow undeclared wars, which meant that surprise battles were not allowed.
It is allowed to subdue subordinates. This is a process of integration and absorption. It is beneficial to both parties to absorb some weak tribes into larger tribes.
The premise is to "declare" it, make it known to all parties, have the two armies confront each other in an upright manner, and fight while trying to avoid casualties.
Although there is no immortal battle, the caravan's strategy does avoid many inexplicable battles and reduces the level of casualties. Generally, if they cannot resist, they will give in and merge into the larger tribe.
What’s even more interesting is that this merger is not the same as the merger in Xiaobai’s concept. The merger of the caravan tribe still retains the gods, but cancels the tribe’s Godot. The losing tribe will pay tribute to the winner every year.
Pay tribute, while the victor provides protection to the loser.
It's a very interesting approach. In this wild world, this approach seems too elegant.
"Boss, do we want to accept the challenge?" Red-maned Yanglie came to Xiaobai's tent and asked. It's okay not to accept the challenge, but it will cost a large piece of pasture, and at the same time, it will be looked down upon by other caravan tribes, and even
The slave tribe under his command will also flee en masse, which is a very shameful behavior.
"Of course we have to accept the challenge. Others have already issued a challenge. How can we be a coward?" Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Then let's start the fight." Since the boss supports it, Hongmane Yanglie has nothing to say, so just do it.
"But we also need to put some conditions. There must be restrictions on the number of people. We can't go against thousands of others. We also need to have a showdown between ordinary warriors, and we can't use divine warriors." Xiaobai had already asked.
Damn it, these two items are allowed and can be regarded as a disguised form of protection.
Generally, war is declared by a large tribe against a small tribe. If the number and quality of warriors were not specified, it would probably be a scene of nearly a thousand knights and nearly a hundred godly warriors crushing a team of less than a hundred people. This is not in line with the concept of a caravan.
