My Empire War Game

Chapter 31 Centaur

Centaurs belong to a relatively powerful race in this world. This race is a natural cavalry, and is proficient in raising horses and good at bowing and arrows. The centaur longbow is very famous in the human world, second only to the elf longbow, and comparable to the half-elf bow and arrow.

The horses of the most powerful Knights of Thunder in the Kingdom of Florence were purchased from the Centaur tribe. The horses produced by these centaur tribes are fat and healthy, tall and heavy, and are one of the best horses, very suitable for heavy cavalry mounts.

Of course, there are many better mounts than this kind of horse, such as Warcraft. That kind of powerful beasts beyond the category of beasts, such as unicorns, nightmare beasts, etc., if formed into a knight group, it is definitely stronger than all the knight groups on the entire continent, but there is a key problem, whether it is a unicorn or a nightmare beast. Or other monsters, the number is too small.

Unicorns are friends of elves and live in the legendary forest of elves, and nightmares are even rarer. Although there are some other monsters, they are equally difficult to obtain.

Therefore, only a small number of noble knights will look for monsters as mounts, and the knights who need a lot of mounts can only use ordinary horses. Humans have also domesticated a large number of horses, but the quality is not as good as the horses bred by centaurs, even if there are occasionally one or two horses The horses of the gods can't change the whole race, which is inferior to the horses bred by centaurs.

Knowing that Owen's caravan was going to trade with the centaur tribe, Sullen had some plans in his heart. Now his territory only has these barbarian warriors, and he also needs cavalry and longbowmen.

It's just that now his territory is poor and white, and if you want to trade with the centaur tribe, you must at least have what they need. How to deal with people without anything?

Su Lun also scratched his head a bit, but he also has an advantage. Now this territory is the only territory in the trade route from the Kingdom of Florence to the centaur tribe. As long as you pass through his territory, it is not normal to pay a toll. Centaurs with longbows and horses are normal.

Owen's caravan transported a lot of materials this time, including a lot of iron tools, and the rest was food. Although the centaur tribe was strong, the quality of the iron smelted was average, and iron ore was scarce in the wilderness, and iron tools were not found in the wilderness. Prices are high, and as for food, the centaur tribe is a semi-nomadic people with poor farming ability and low food production.

In this comparison, Su Lun suddenly found that his territory was still very advantageous.

Owen is also curious about Su Lun. As the steward of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, he has been on this business road for more than ten years. During this period, it is not that no nobles came to this area to develop their territories, but until Su Lun arrived, he also None of the pioneering nobles have successfully established themselves here.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, a pioneering nobleman came here and successfully established a foothold here, which surprised Owen. What surprised him even more was the strength of this lord. Before, he had traveled through the wilderness with the barbarian women and children. Naturally, along the way, he encountered many wilderness bandits. Among them, the barbarian leader brought two equally powerful men. The barbarians directly overwhelmed a group of robbers.

He was very impressed by his invincible and invincible attitude. None of his mercenaries were his opponents, and there were not many who could even pick up a few axes from him. This kind of strength had reached the rank of great knight. And even the remaining two barbarian warriors have reached the Great Knight rank. For such powerful warriors, his first thought is to recruit.

In order to recruit them, Owen promises to provide land and Kinnar to house the barbarian women and children. What disappointed him was that these savages refused directly. Even if he kept improving his conditions, those savages did not waver.

Just when he was thinking of continuing to increase the price, the caravan came to Su Lun's territory, and when he got here, he realized that these barbarians were actually the pioneers of the nobleman, and that the young nobleman actually only depended on those barbarians. Warriors stand firm in this wilderness.

Owen sat cross-legged on the carpet in the tent. The carpet from the desert kingdom is not only beautiful in style, but also soft and comfortable to step on. There is a low table on the carpet, and the heads of the caravan guards are sitting respectfully not far away. There was a glass of ale in front of everyone.

The temperature in the wilderness is very low at night, and alcohol is the most popular drink in the North. On a cold night, after a glass of ale, the belly is hot, and the body that was frozen and stiff was quickly warmed up.

"Alec, apart from the three barbarian warriors who came with us, how are the other barbarians?" Owen asked, putting down his glass.

"Very strong." The mercenary with a long scar on his face said in a low voice, "Those barbarians have an aura that I've only seen on those strong knights."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of the ale. The spicy ale had a bit of bitterness. In fact, he didn't like this kind of cheap ale. He just subconsciously wanted to hide the shock in his heart. It is not difficult to see from the experience of the soldier's career that each of these barbarian warriors in this territory can be called strong.

"All? This is impossible. More than 30 strong knights at least, how could they be willing to stay in this ruined territory where they want money, no money, no people, and they have to face the attacks of monsters such as gnolls all the time. An ordinary warrior?" Owen simply couldn't accept this situation, more than 30 strong knights were comparable to some weak earls in the Kingdom of Florence.

Although these savages are not knights, their fighting power is no weaker than knights. If they are willing to be loyal to nobles, even if they cannot obtain knighthood, their treatment is definitely ten times better than here. In this world, strength and status are directly proportional. Which of those high-level warriors is not supported, but the warriors of the territory are like ordinary soldiers, which is completely unreasonable.

Owen had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and the wine glass made of the bamboo tube in his hand turned unconsciously in his hand.

"Could it be another situation?" Just when everyone else was silent, another mercenary with a thin body and a cold face said with a dagger in his hand.

"These barbarians don't even know what kind of treatment their strength can get in the kingdom?" The mercenary said slowly after a few people around looked at him.

"Snapped!"

Owen clapped his palms and stood up excitedly and said, "Yeah, how could those savage bumpkins know the value of a hundred jinnars, and only this can explain why they stay here!"
