"If possible, I want to hire some young people to come to the cavalry camp. I don’t need them to help me fight. I think they can teach me their horse-raising knowledge and superb riding skills. I will treat them as horse trainers and pay them. If I ask you to feel difficult, just forget I said anything."
The elders didn’t expect Surdak to come out and ask for it without coercion.
He turned to a group of people behind him and asked, "Who would like to join the Baron’s cavalry camp to help him take care of these horses and teach these soldiers to ride in his barracks?"
Behind them, a group of indigenous villagers looked at each other, and after a few low conversations, they all said a few short words to the elders in indigenous language.
The elder is also a little thoughtfully to Surdak said
"Speaking of which, we are still herders in the Goss family ranch, and Baron Goss will release your horse. If you want us to join your army, I’m afraid you have to say hello to Master Goss."
Surdak wanted to meet the rancher and discuss with him about buying a horse.
He said, "I will. We’ll go to Kieran town and visit Baron Goss."
Listen to Surdak said that these villagers were relieved to come out and expressed their willingness to join Surdak cavalry battalion.
In view of familiarizing the recruits with these horses as soon as possible, Surdak is almost open to all, and a total of 27 skilled equestrian herders have been recruited to join the cavalry battalion.
He also adopted the advice of the elders of Watts Village to share the heavy armor and heavy knights’ spears and flails with the other 50 teams carrying some materials behind them to reduce the burden on these horses.
However, the number of those idle horses is too small after all. There is no way to carry all the heavy armor on horseback. Some heavy armor can be temporarily put into the magic pocket of Gensoul Dak, but the magic pocket of Surdak is also full of materials, which can’t hold these heavy armor.
There’s no way and you can’t tell Aphrodite to summon the circle in public, so the cavalry battalion can be stationed outside Watts village and take a rest for a day.
Surdak also quietly returned to the sulfur mine in the tent at night and took the opportunity to transfer his materials to the Red Dragon Treasure Chamber to feed a red dragon Ethel.
Surdak knew that it was not easy to lead a cavalry battalion. I didn’t expect to encounter such trouble just after arriving at Bailin plane.
"If I had known that two hundred war horses would not have been sold to the horse market, it would have been good for us to carry some supplies." Surdak told Aphrodite about his troubles.
Succubus lay lazily on a stone sheet and looked at Surdak cheerfully with his hands supporting his side cheeks, saying
"Didn’t you say those horses have been eliminated? Even if we let them serve, it won’t last long … "
Surdak frowned and said, "It won’t be too long, but it’s better than not. I have to consider buying a horse when I first arrive in Bailin. I don’t know if I can buy it!"
"If you want to order this time, it’s always a little less rewarding, and you’ve hired some local natives who are proficient in raising horses." Aphrodite, the succubus, comforted Surdak in this way, but she didn’t hide her gloating expression …
Surdak waved to Aphrodite and walked towards the lava mine.
Chapter 69 Kieran Town
The town of Kieran is located in the north of this prairie.
The cavalry battalion rested outside Watts village for a day and a night.
During this period, the indigenous herders screened 55 Gubolai horses.
Although these war horses look fine on the surface, they are all in a state of fatigue, so that they can’t get enough rest every day, which eventually leads to the rapid decline of their body fat, which is also the main reason why some war horses can’t bear the heavy load.
After a day’s rest, the horse’s condition is much better than yesterday, so it is considered to have the travel conditions.
The cavalry battalion, with guides and local herders leading the way, continued along the Bailin River in journey to the south.
The road is monotonous and long, and there are ruts in some places to keep it from being submerged by weeds.
In the distance, a wild leek flower is like a white cloud. Several local natives are squatting on the grass to pick those wild leeks, and there are several horses grazing leisurely over there.
The whole meadow looks like a light green ocean from a distance.
The wind blows through the grass like waves.
It was not until a continuous mountain appeared on the horizon in the distance that Surdak realized that this fertile grassland was coming to an end, and the field of vision of the undulating mountain was getting bigger and bigger.
After a day’s drive, I finally saw the town of Kieran at the foot of the Tibetan mountain on the fourth day from Wilkes City.
According to the guide, the Bailin River changes direction in front of Kieran Town and flows westward. A lake and wetland are formed not far from the town. After bypassing this mountain all the way westward, the Kieran River will flow into a canyon and flow westward into a huge land lake.
The small town is built along the gentle slope, and the houses are many times better than those in Watts village. The beautiful manor is built near the lake formed by the Bailin River and is hidden by a birch forest.
I didn’t expect to meet this caravan again and it turned out to be Kieran Town.
In the caravan, the carriage stopped at the outfield of Kieran town, and they put out the goods they brought, and the town became a small city. The goods selected by the residents of the town were also dazzling, ranging from silk, fur and cloth to all kinds of gold, silver and bronze, but at most, there were some iron pots with round bellies and rings.
It seems that business is not bad. Many residents in the town gather here, and some people get barrels of fruit wine from the caravan. These oak barrels are not too big, so they can easily carry them on their shoulders and transport them home.
Dinner is being prepared in the camp behind the caravan. A large iron pot is set up behind the caravan to cook broth. Three cooks are making scones in front of a flat pan.
A group of children in the town looked curiously outside the camp and seemed very interested in cooking food here. They squatted barefoot on the low wall and laughed, but no one dared to approach.
The women in the caravan washed clothes by the river. They wore cool dresses and slippers to wash pots of clothes and dry the grass by the river. Then they squatted in the shallow water by the river to wash their hair. The river wet their dresses and showed their youthful and hot bodies.
Young people in the town can’t help squatting on the only wooden bridge in the town, looking over the wooden railing and pointing at the women in the caravan from time to time.
It seems that having a row of wooden railings blocking their bodies will make them feel more secure in their hearts.
In fact, these women in the caravan are not expensive, and they can spend a good night with them if they take out ten silver coins. Perhaps it is with this kind of mind that those young people will watch from afar.
A group of cavalry from outside the town naturally shocked the troops stationed in the town.
The Langdon family is stationed here, and the private army is also coming to relieve the troops. The head of the infantry regiment happily came to ask Surdak, the chief of the cavalry battalion, to carry out the relief handover. When Surdak said that his cavalry battalion was going to Duodan Town, it was hard to hide his disappointment for a while.
Later, I heard from Surdak that the Lu Se Legion Heavily Armored Infantry Regiment had entered the Bailing plane as early as three days ago. When I knew that I was returning to Bena Province, I was disappointed and quickly comforted. These infantry became very excited for a while and allowed Surdak cavalry battalion to station outside the town.
So the local garrison allowed Surdak and the cavalry battalion to station outside the town
The caravan steward saw Surdak and his cavalry battalion from a distance and went over to say hello to Surdak.
Due to the greeting on the previous trip, the other party also gave Surdak two boxes of cactus fruit. This time, Surdak had no reason to pose as let the right one in with a cold face in charge of the caravan.
The caravan steward is also very measured. He didn’t walk into the cavalry camp. He smiled and said to Surdak at the gate of the camp
"You will walk in front of us, but you will fall behind us."
Surdak patted the horse around him and said
"Our trip to Kieran town was delayed by a day’s renovation in Watts village, and it was also a temporary decision to hear that Baron Goss lived in a manor near the town, and I planned to visit one."
The caravan steward turned to look at the manor by the lake outside the town and said to Surdak
"I have dealt with Baron Goss several times before. He has moved to Kieran Town for many years and has been managing this grassland. In addition to raising several large herds of horses, there are also some antelope and cattle. Every year, a large number of antelope and cattle go to Wilkes City, which is considered to be one of the best ranchers in this area and the largest meat supplier."
Surdak asked again, "Do you know what this Goss Baron has here in the Goss family in Hailanza?"
The caravan steward hesitated for a moment before saying, "I haven’t heard of this. Maybe it’s a relative."
Then the caravan steward’s eyes fell on the horses that were being managed in the camp. The original herdsmen said to Surdak in a low voice
"But I think you let some local aborigines join the cavalry camp. With all due respect, many of these aborigines are associated with grassland horse thieves. They are not trustworthy. Maybe they will sell you to horse thieves one day. You should be careful what you do when you are new here. You should be cheated and have disputes."
Thank you for waking up. I’ll pay special attention to these.
Surdak said to the caravan steward.
The two men chatted casually for two more sentences, and then they were called away. It is said that they are going to negotiate a business.
