Chapter 24, A2 Tribe
In the past two months, the barbarian tribe 90 miles away sent several waves of barbarians to investigate the situation. After all, for a barbarian tribe with a total population of only more than 600 people, the sudden disappearance of about 400 people undoubtedly means the demise of the tribe.
However, these barbarians who came to investigate the situation were directly wiped out by the patrol team arranged by Zhou Mingyue.
After many times, the barbarian tribe became honest and did not dare to act rashly.
They could probably guess that the essence of their tribe was killed. Under such circumstances, how could they dare to launch a battle of revenge against Zhou Mingyue?
It is just the truth to pray that our ancestors and God will not be targeted by the enemy.
As for the barbarian tribe with more than 900 people, it seemed to be more lively. In the month after the Valley War, it seemed that it sent troops to fight with the farther barbarian tribe, which should have won.
Because the Pegasus Cavalry who went out to investigate saw that the barbarian tribe sang and danced for several days after the battle to celebrate the victory, and many defeated barbarians were taken back to the tribe and became their slaves.
These slaves will gradually integrate into the tribe over the long years and enhance the tribe's strength.
In fact, the barbarian tribes in the wilderness do this, attacking each other, plundering the population, and strengthening themselves. After growing to a certain extent, they gather other barbarian tribes and launching attacks on the nearby human kingdoms, in an attempt to seize the wealth and population owned by the human kingdoms.
Of course, such an attempt is difficult to succeed.
After all, those human kingdoms are not easy to bully. As mentioned before, the royal family is basically a continuation of the bloodline of the gods, while the nobles are the royal family that has been continuously weakened. Therefore, the barbarians may have gained great advantages at first, but with the gathering of power in the human kingdom, a large number of nobles rose up from fiefdoms to support the king. The final outcome of those barbarian tribes was to be beaten back to the wilderness.
But then again, even so, the barbarian invasion will still cause great harm to the human kingdom.
Not to mention that the originally relatively stable social order was broken and turbulent, a large number of people at the bottom had to abandon their homes and flee. The population plundered after the barbarian invasion would leave a human country in a state of weakness for a long time.
If the king of this human king is incompetent, the ministers are corrupt and abused, and the nobles will increase their income and pay higher taxes in order to make up for the losses, the human kingdom will most likely die in chaos in the future.
In fact, most of the ancestors of those nobles continued to be destroyed like this. From a prominent royal family to a devastated country, if you are lucky, you will be attracted by the new king and become a nobleman. If you are not lucky, you will be invisible and become a commoner. After several generations, when the new king does not pursue the old royal family, he will rely on his bloodline to become a new nobleman.
What worries Zhou Mingyue the most was that the barbarian tribe with more than 900 people expanded a lot after this big victory, and therefore began to expand around.
Let’s put it this way, at most another month, the territory he hunts may be close to the valley, thus discovering Zhou Mingyue’s power!
Zhou Mingyue was still worried about fighting with a barbarian tribe whose population had expanded to thousands, especially the copper mines in the cave were almost exhausted.
This is not surprising. Geological structures like caves belong to lime layers and are not prone to metal deposits. Like the gold, silver and copper ore discovered by Zhou Mingyue is a complete blessing.
We have to clean up the half-destroyed barbarian tribe as soon as possible and find more minerals to accumulate strength.
Of course, the most important thing is the totem pole in the barbarian tribe!
That thing can improve one's own strength. In this strange world, there is nothing that makes Zhou Mingyue feel safer than improving one's own strength.
Although the War Demon Square can produce a large number of soldiers, it is not the power of one's own body after all.
When you meet a ruthless person, it is hard to say that the other party cannot break through the military formation and attack Huanglong, and give yourself a beheading operation.
Take the previous barbarian chief as an example. If the other party was determined to break into the stone wall, could it be done? It would definitely be done!
Of course, whether or not he can kill Zhou Mingyue is another matter.
Three days later, the gold, silver and copper companion mines were completely exhausted.
No minerals were found in the cave, but another exit was found by peasants. It was located near a small river fifteen miles away. The water of the pond flowed through the entire cave and merged into the river.
Relying on the mine vein, Zhou Mingyue tightly gathered 108 heavy infantry, 64 heavy snookers, 36 longbowmen, 10 heavy cavalry, 6 priests, and 4 griffon cavalry.
This time he went on the expedition, he took away heavy infantry, heavy lancers, longbowmen, archers, heavy cavalry, cavalry, priests, pegasus cavalry, and left infantry, lancers, monks, and griffon cavalry in the valley to serve as garrison forces.
Anyway, for now, although he took away the War Demon House when he went to war, the valley is temporarily his foundation.
The dangers in the wilderness are not just those barbarians, but also ferocious beasts.
Zhou Mingyue has seen spotted tigers, green wolves, rabbit bears and other beasts similar to earth creatures.
If you want to say that this rabbit bear is still a very distinctive beast. Just looking at its upper body almost exactly the same as a rabbit, it has long ears and three-petal mouth, but the teeth in its mouth are extremely sharp. This alone cannot be a herbivore.
Zhou Mingyue set out with the patchwork army, a total of more than 400 people.
Compared to the barbarian tribe coming over, his troops this time can be regarded as the control of information on the entire battlefield. Two Pegasus cavalry set out first to monitor the barbarian tribe and convey the message back at any time.
"There is no movement in the A2 tribe? Very good."
Zhou Mingyue didn't walk. Well, the two cavalry were dragging a simple carriage, to be precise, a flatbed carriage. He lay on it. Although it was ups and downs and bumpy, it was much more comfortable than walking.
He numbered all the barbarian tribes he discovered, and the valley tribe he occupied was called A1, the half-destroyed one was called A2, and the most powerful barbarian tribe was called A3.
Simple and easy to remember.
It was not until about 3 miles away from the A2 barbarian tribe that the cavalry that opened the way in front encountered the barbarians.
More than a dozen old barbarian warriors over 30 years old are hunting a four-horned cow.
Due to the living conditions limited by the level of civilization, barbarians quickly enter aging after they are over 25 years old. If they fail to improve their strength, most barbarians will die of aging for various reasons at the age of 40.
