Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Compared with the current breeding farms that are only responsible for raising cattle and sheep, the horse farms are now larger in scale. There is no way, not only because of the importance, but also because the horses have greater demand for exercise.

Generally, horses that have been basically trained will be placed in large pens regularly and allowed to move freely.

As for the wild horses that have just been captured or have not yet been trained, they are all tied in the stables for taming.

At first glance, compared with before he left, the number of horses in the racecourse had obviously increased.

Although it’s not a good thing to say, this was due to the destruction of the elven villages.

When the Elf Village was still there, as long as other forces entered their territory, they would be warned by the prairie elves, so everyone avoided that area.

Over time, it became a refuge for many herbivores.

Earlier, Zhou Xu and the others searched the grassland for wild horses but could not find them. What was the reason?

It's because the wild horses escaped into the territory of the prairie elves.

But now, the territory of the prairie elves no longer exists, leaving these herbivores on the grassland with almost nowhere to hide when faced with the hunting team of Zhouxu Prairie Village.

Including mustang bison, capture efficiency has increased significantly.

After experiencing a wave of tragic losses in early winter, the loss of horses has not only been completely compensated, but the number has even significantly exceeded before.

"How many horses do we have now?"

Looking at the person in charge of the racecourse running over, Zhou Xu directly asked this question.

"Reporting back to the leader, including the war horses that have been put into military use and those that have not yet been tamed, there are a total of seventy-three."

Having said this, the racecourse owner quickly explained.

"In the beginning, Lieutenant Li Ce and his colleagues were very efficient in catching wild horses. They could basically catch more than a dozen horses every time they went out."

"But now that the wild horses have become smarter, they are not so easy to find. No new wild horses have been captured for a while."

At this time, there was obvious regret in the voice of the racecourse owner. He was used to the crazy harvest before, but when the day suddenly came with no harvest, he really couldn't adapt.

But Zhou Xu is obviously satisfied with this number.

The focus now is on the selection and training of war horses.

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Ma Guotao, the newly chosen one I summoned. From today on, he will be the top person in charge of the racecourse."

After Zhou Xu's brief introduction, after learning the identity of the other party's 'God's Chosen One', the racecourse owner naturally had no objections to his immediate superior who had landed in the air.

During this period, although Ma Guotao could not wait to rush up to watch the horses, but considering that the front owner in front of him would most likely serve as his right-hand man and work with him, Ma Guotao still resisted this impulse, and then very quickly He greeted the other party warmly.

Socially, Ma Guotao can be considered a veteran, and he became familiar with the original owner within a few moments.

Afterwards, Zhou Xu called Ma Guotao over again, intending to explain the next task to him.

"The next thing I told you on the way here is that after the spring, we are likely to encounter an invasion by the lizard people. For this reason, I need to train a large number of cavalry to compete with the opponent. Your job is to select and train war horses."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.

"Time is limited and the task is heavy. Do you understand?"

"I see."

After hearing this, Ma Guotao's expression quickly became serious.

From the beginning, he didn't think that the primitive era could be very peaceful, and wars were definitely inevitable.

But he didn't expect it at the beginning. This was actually a world with magical elements, not only elves, centaurs, but also lizardmen.

But from Zhou Xu's words, he could probably feel that facing the invasion of lizard people next, although it would definitely be a fierce battle, it was not impossible to fight.

At this time, the outcome of this war was undoubtedly related to his own life, and he could not not be serious.

"I will do my best!"

"Okay! Then I'll leave this to you. You've also met the original racecourse owner. You can ask him about everything in the racecourse from now on. If there is anything he can't solve, you can ask the village chief Ye Jing. Hong, I have arranged everything for you."

Having said this, Zhou Xu took a look at the sky and then considered their running around in the past few days.

"If your body can't hold it anymore, you can officially start working again tomorrow."

"No, I can start work now, no problem at all!"

While speaking, Ma Guotao also patted his chest vigorously.

This racecourse is simply paradise in his eyes.

Looking at so many wild horses, his dopamine is continuously secreted. He is so high now that he doesn't feel tired at all!

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Xu didn't say anything more. After a few more brief explanations, he turned and left.

After all, at this stage, there are many things waiting for him to deal with.

After leaving the racecourse, Zhou Xu quickly called Ye Jinghong to ask about the situation.

"Tell me, what's going on on the grassland during this time?"

"According to your wishes, leader, we have set up a number of simple outposts near the 'edge of the world' and arranged for soldiers to station and patrol."

As Ye Jinghong spoke, he spread out the animal skin map and pointed out several newly marked points.

Obviously, these are the locations of their newly established outposts.

It's said to be an outpost, but it's actually just a few very simple tent camps set up so that they can monitor what's going on there at all times.

In case they were not careful, the lizardmen came in without them knowing.

"So far, according to what we have discovered, the passage to the 'Edge of the World' has been opened twice, but no lizard man came out of it."

"In view of this situation, there are two possibilities at present. One is that the lizard people have no intention of attacking at this stage, and the other is that the lizard people did not notice the opening of the two passages."

After listening to Ye Jinghong's report, Zhou Xu nodded.

According to the information obtained from the prairie elves, the formation of energy channels is random. The only thing that can be determined is that the closer the two world fragments are, the higher the probability that the energy channels will appear.

From this point of view, the second possibility is not impossible.

But Zhou Xu believes that the reason is most likely the former.

There are many ways to solve the second problem. If you really want to fight, there is always a way.

Even according to his guess, the lizard people might have a way to manually open the energy channel.

At that time, a blizzard swept across the grassland, but they did not find a large number of lizard-man corpses on the grassland. What does this mean?

This shows that they most likely did not die in the blizzard, but left before the blizzard completely swept away.

But the energy channels are randomly generated. They can't just be lucky, right?

Zhou Xu doesn't think so.

How can there be so many coincidences in this world? There is only inevitable cause and effect!
