Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Vol 2 Chapter 407: :a step far

Julian calendar 405, Mars month, the first day. (March 1, 405 AD)

Diodosiya

The vast expanse of fertile grassland, like an endless green sky, stretches to the end of the horizon of people and horses, the horses, cattle and sheep all over the mountains, like the dazzling twinkling stars in the night sky, are dotted with this vibrant emerald green picture.

The breeze hit, countless plump and juicy pastures gently swayed his pliable body, making the whole velvety pasture, like a turquoise sea in a storm, making waves.

Kura is an ordinary brutal soldier in the Bloodfury clan. There is a spouse and two children. The eldest son is already an adult, and he has separated from the family and started a new family by himself.

Another child, who just turned one year old last month, is listening to the teachings of his ancestors in the school. Three persons in a household can be regarded as the average level under the Peinhess household registration system.

Centaur has both the growth rate of horses and the lifespan of human beings. Three years old is an adult. Of course, this is only the maturity of the body, and the thoughts and skills are not perfect. These young horses must master various survival and combat skills to become a real warrior. They also need to rely on their personal qualifications to learn for one to two years. If it is withered bones, wind howling, and the spellcasting of the dead poetry clan In addition, this time will be extended indefinitely.

And this kind of ordinary family, the number of livestock has reached a terrifying level: their husband and wife, plus four or five tall and mighty Caucasian dogs, graze a full 400 sheep and 80 cows. , And twelve horses that can make the cavalry generals of the Roman Empire jealous-this kind of heavy warhorse with a height of 1.6 meters at the shoulder, almost the top, in the centaur, it is only used as a pack animal.

————————————————

Over the past four years, the strength of the tribe has grown. An ordinary herder family can have so many cattle and sheep, not to mention the property of hundreds of household heads, thousands of household heads, and even individual chiefs. Painhurs is responsible for coordinating the affairs of the clan and even the tribe. The lively and active Christina, with a group of veterans, is teaching the skills of fighting and survival of the foals, and the work of counting the family has finally fallen to Christiana. Shoulders.

The bard rolled his eyes speechlessly, and with the help of a few Teflin slaves, he barely calculated the number of cattle and sheep in the mountains: fifteen thousand and thirty-two sheep, three thousand and two hundred cattle, and one hundred and two. There are more horses than the entire clan's livestock before!

The reason why the number of cattle is so small is because Painhurs asked the Eastern Gothic kingdom for a lot of grains and seeds for legume crops, and cultivated a piece of farmland on the edge of the pasture, so that a large number of goblin slaves were in the Eastern Gothic. Under the guidance of a few captured Teflin farmers, they were planted with cattle with ploughs. The quantity and stability of food obtained from farming are indeed unmatched by nomads.

Before entering Gredinian, the Bloodfury clan did not even dare to kill sheep and eat meat easily, for fear that their slaughter speed exceeded the reproduction speed of the flock. They usually only rely on goat milk, milk, and acquired processing, such as cheese. Such dairy products, as well as meat from hunting, and berries that happen to be picked for a living.

But, now, Christian randomly picked a fat goat and ordered several slaves to slaughter it. It was lunch today. It may have been eating meat and milk every day, with adequate nutritional intake, petite and cute. Anna's daughter has even grown a little bit taller, and her complexion has become much more ruddy.

"Today's air seems to be a bit heavy, making people extremely depressed, even the wind direction is different from previous years..."

Suddenly, the bard stopped and felt the change of the wind direction carefully: the originally silent arcane energy around him, like boiling fresh water, boiled violently, and accompanied by the violent wind, he rushed into the distance desperately. Christian looked back, and the arcane energy in other places was also restless, rushing to the same place in a hurry! Let it be like the eye of a hurricane, and like the center of a whirlpool, exuding terrifying arcane waves.

"Painhurs? Did it succeed?"

The bard hummed a little tune and slowly approached the eye of the wind. Numerous groups of blue and gold double flames, like birds made of flames, were flying, spinning, burning, and flocking around the chieftain, while in arcane magic. The white horse in the incarnation state, every inch of skin on the whole body, is burning with blue arcane fire!

Four years ago, when Painhurs used this magic, the azure blue magic energy only flowed in the blood vessels of his six limbs and hundreds of skeletons. Now, the pale sorcerer who has mastered the arcane incarnation, almost his whole body Turned into a ball of ultimate arcane energy, only a pair of golden vertical pupils, inside the blue fire, exudes a chill of death.

"No, it failed."

The flames of magic gradually dissipated, and the restless arcane energy returned to silence, Painhurs sighed annoyingly.

"For more than four years, since the day when Mr. Heniwell taught me magic, I defeated terrible enemies time and time again, broke through the shackles of blood, learned more and stronger spells, and never encountered any Obstacles! Everything is as simple as a matter of course!

But now... for almost five years, my level hasn't progressed yet! The spell is also stuck in the seventh ring, unable to climb up! Legend, only one step away from me! He is within my reach, yet he is the flower in the water, the moon in the well! ! ! "

The warchief raised his right hand aloft, trying to grasp something, a trace of sadness was also revealed on his irritated and anxious face.

"From the first day I taught you to control magic, I warned you not to be impatient! You are now at the limit of a mortal, and the realm of legends is not so easy to reach."

The drow on the side spread a white sheepskin blanket on the grassland. While watching her students practice magic, she cut a large piece of roasted lamb leg with a knife into thin slices of cicada-winged meat. Put it on a plate and chew.

"The total population of the Eastern and Western Roman Empire is 100 million, and the legend is only a double digit. It is not easy to step into that field. You have to be calmer. With the crown of gold, your current strength is enough to defeat a fighter who has just entered the legend. ."

"Yeah, don't be too impatient. Your strength growth rate has reached an incredible level! When we first met, you couldn't even beat a human druid. Now, you even killed the Sasanian Persian. Da Muhu! If this continues, you will be promoted to Legend one day."

Christian is also very persuasive. Between the eyebrows, there is water and tenderness.

"Forget it, deal with the tribe first."

Under the comfort of the two women, the warchief slowly walked out of loss and anxiety, and his pale and handsome face returned to calm. In four years, bows and arrows and grain were piled up in the warehouse, and a whole generation of horses grew into Excellent fighters, more people and horses also come here.

Today, the number of centaur soldiers has expanded from 20,000 when the tribe was founded to 40,000. Fully doubled! The strength of the other members of the tribe has also increased to a certain extent. The little Gredinian, while accommodating the explosive growth of the population of the six races, has also continued to absorb the participation of foreign nomads. Now it is slightly crowded. .

The rest time has been long enough.

"Is there any news from Abkhazia?"

Painhurs asked Christian, who was in charge of assisting internal affairs, Abkhazia, a kingdom established by a group of Teflins on the east coast of the Black Sea. And it has nothing to do with Sassanid Persia. The ghost knows why this group of half humans and half demons left the fertile Crescent Moon and crossed the Caucasus Mountains all the way north, settled here, and gradually expanded into a powerful kingdom.

The chief only knew that this group of people occupies a large area of ​​fertile land, reaching the Caspian Sea in the east, the Black Sea in the west, the Caucasus Mountains in the south, and the junction of the Kerch Peninsula and the Sarmatia steppe in the north, and they are just stuck in their homes. The door of the east gate!

"Oh, you mean, you invited them to join the tribe? They said, unless you bring Green Skin to the tribe, they will never join—the energetic orcs of Beast Leonardo, for the past four years There is nothing to do, except for internal fighting, annexing other Greenskin clans is to plunder, harass the land of Abkhazia, and fight with those half demons."

Christian has a headache. Their desire for battle is too exaggerated, which is a double-edged sword for the Horde.

"What an unreasonable request. The Evil Flame clan of the Beast Onardo is our long-time allies and reliable companions! By the way, didn't those green skins ask the tribe for help?"

Painhurs asked.

"No, they might be hilarious, and forgot about it."

Christian shrugged helplessly.

"Go back to gather the blood-fury brutal soldiers, rest for so many years, it's time to fight. Give them a month to prepare food and baggage, and when the grassland spring is blooming in April, they will leave Gredinian. Transcaucasian The region, and the Caucasus Mountains further south are very important to us! Must be in the hands of the tribe!

Well, the goblins of Gallivex are responsible for the defense of the north. There are also a few goblin slave corps in the centaur. As a tithe, I have a thousand-man half-sheep cavalry. In the Royal Court of Sagittarius, help me write two letters to let the high elves of Panticapone dispatch a centurion mage to participate in the war. Orthogoths? Let them dispatch at least half of the fleet. The opposing capital is built on the east bank of the Black Sea, and the task of blocking the sea is entrusted to them. "

"Your will."

Christian quickly entered the working state, meticulously handling all the affairs that the warchief explained.
