Centaurs belong to a relatively powerful race in this world. This race is a natural cavalry, proficient in raising horses and good at bows and arrows. Centaur longbow is very famous in the human world, second only to ELF longbow, which can be comparable to semi elf bow and arrow.
The horses of the strongest thunder knights in the kingdom of Florence were purchased from the Centaur tribe. The horses produced by these Centaur tribes are fat, healthy, tall and heavy. They are one of the best horses and are very suitable for heavy cavalry.
Of course, there are many better mounts than this kind of horse, such as Warcraft. The powerful Warcraft beyond the beast category, such as unicorns and nightmares, if formed into a knight order, it is definitely stronger than all the knights on the whole continent, but there is a key problem. The number of unicorns, nightmares or other Warcraft is too small.
Unicorns are friends of elves. Living in the legendary forest of elves, nightmares are even more rare. And some
Therefore, only a small number of noble knights will look for Warcraft as mounts. As a knight regiment that needs a large number of mounts, they can only use ordinary horses. Humans have domesticated a large number of horses themselves, but the quality is not as good as the horses raised by centaurs. Even if there are one or two horses raised by centaurs occasionally, it can not change the horses raised by the whole ethnic group as good as the horses raised by centaurs.
Knowing that Owen's caravan was going to trade with the Centaur tribe, Suellen had some plans in mind. Now his territory only has these barbarian warriors, and he also needs cavalry and longbowmen.
But now his territory is poor. If you want to trade with the Centaur tribe, at least you have what they need. Nothing. How do you deal with people?
Su Lun also scratched his head, but he also had advantages. Now this territory is the only territory in the trade route from the kingdom of Florence to the Centaur tribe. It's normal to pay a toll as long as you pass through his territory. It's normal to charge some Centaur longbows and horses.
Owen's caravan transported a lot of materials this time, including a lot of ironware, and the rest was grain. Although the Centaur tribe was very strong, the quality of ironware smelted was average, and there were few iron ores in the wilderness, and the price of ironware in the wilderness was very high. As for grain, the Centaur tribe belonged to the semi nomadic people, with poor farming ability and low grain output.
In such a comparison, Suellen suddenly found that his territory was still very advantageous.
Owen is also curious about Suellen. As the steward of Bauhinia chamber of Commerce, he has been on this business path for more than ten years. During this period, he did not come to this area to develop territory, but until Suellen arrived, no development aristocrat had a successful foothold here.
Unexpectedly, in just one month, a pioneering aristocrat came here and successfully established himself here, which surprised Owen. What surprised him even more was the strength of the Lord. Before, he crossed the wilderness with the barbarian women and children. Naturally, he met many wilderness robbers along the way. Among them, the barbarian leader directly defeated a group of robbers with two equally powerful barbarians.
His invincible posture impressed him deeply. None of his mercenaries was his opponent, and few could even pick up his axes. This strength has exceeded the knight level. And even the remaining two barbarian warriors have reached the knight level. For this kind of warrior with strong strength, his first idea is to attract.
In order to attract them, Owen promised to take out the land and Kinnard to settle the barbarian women and children. To his disappointment, these barbarians refused directly. Even if he kept improving his conditions, those barbarians didn't waver.
Just when he wanted to continue to increase the price, the caravan came to sulun's territory. When he arrived here, he found that the barbarian was the pioneer of the aristocrat, and the young aristocrat had a firm foothold in the wilderness only by those barbarian soldiers.
Owen sat cross legged on the carpet in the tent. The carpet from the desert kingdom was not only exquisite in style, but also soft and comfortable to step on. A low table was placed on the carpet. Several heads of the caravan guard were sitting respectfully not far away, with a glass of ale in front of everyone.
The temperature in the wilderness is very low at night. Wine is the most popular drink in the north. On a cold night, a glass of ale is eaten, and the belly is hot. The body that was originally frozen stiff is soon warmed up.
"Alec, what are the strength of the other barbarians except the three barbarian warriors who came with us?" Owen asked, putting down his glass.
"Very strong," said the mercenary with a long scar on his face in a low voice, "those barbarians have a momentum, which I have only seen in those strong knights."
After that, he lowered his head and drank a mouthful of wheat wine. The spicy wheat wine was a little bitter. In fact, he didn't like this cheap wheat wine, but subconsciously wanted to hide his shock. Although he didn't want to admit it, it's not difficult to see from his many years of experience in the mercenary career that each of the barbarian soldiers in this territory can be called a strong man.
"All? It's impossible. How can more than 30 strong Knights be willing to stay in this broken territory where there is no money and no one, and still have to face the attacks of jackals and other monsters all the time?" Owen couldn't accept this situation. More than 30 strong knights, This is comparable to some weak earls in the kingdom of Florence.
Although these barbarians are not knights, their combat effectiveness is no better than knights. If they are willing to be loyal to the nobility, even if they can't get the knighthood, their treatment is definitely ten times and 100 times better than here. In this world, strength and status are in direct proportion. Which of those high-level soldiers is not supported, but the soldiers in this territory are like ordinary soldiers, which is completely unreasonable.
Owen's mind was full of thoughts, and the glass made of bamboo in his hand unconsciously turned on his hand.
"Could it be another situation?" said another mercenary, who was thin and cold, playing with a dagger in his hand.
"These barbarians don't know what kind of treatment their strength can get in the kingdom?" the mercenary said slowly after several people around looked at him.
"Pa!"
Owen clapped his hand, stood up excitedly and said, "yes, how can those barbarian buns know the value of a hundred jinnars? Only this can explain why they stay here!"
