Chapter 1022 Station
Before the Theodin Empire dispatched troops, it was initially estimated that the Eternal Night Army led at least 300,000 to 500,000 Odin orcs on the Odin Grassland.
But after personally seeing the difference between the eastern and western Odin Grasslands, Skanbari believes that they greatly underestimated this number.
The Eternal Night Army leads the Odin Grassland, and the number of Odin orc vassals under their control is not affected by the speed of their search, but by their ability to support and support them in disaster years.
This kind of support does not need to reach the level of fullness, as long as they can barely survive.
They only need to release the news on the prairie, and there will be countless Odin orcs who are like moles, surviving on their last legs, will come to their door, and exchange their allegiance for a chance to survive.
Never overestimate the character of people in disaster years.
In order to survive, they will lose many qualities that they cherished so much, including love and humanity, and they will be loyal to foreign races, especially the strong, so it will not be unbearable.
Once the number of Odin orcs in the hands of the leader of the Eternal Night Army exceeds one million, it will be very easy to pull together a cavalry force of over 100,000.
If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, they will start a war on the Odin Grassland.
What the Theodin Empire will face at that time is probably not the elite army led by the Evernight Army, but the vassal army formed by their former compatriots.
If their equipment is as elite as the ranger in front of them.
This Eastern Expedition will become a new nightmare for Theodin Empire.
Skanbari had always thought that he had been overestimating the strength of the Yongye Army Commander as much as possible, which caused many dissatisfaction in the Xiodin Empire, such as Erile and Ke.
In the end, Skanbari found that he still underestimated the strength of the Yong Ye army leader.
"I am Prince Skambari, uncle of His Majesty Ulan Bari, the supreme ruler of the Odin Empire. I have come here with His Majesty's kindness, and begged to see your lord, Sir Sean." Skambari once again revealed himself identity of.
"We were ordered to come here to escort His Excellency Prince Skambari, so as to prevent unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings." The leading Kentana barbarian knight spoke fluently in the Odin orc language, "You all Step back, Prince Scambarz is a distinguished guest whom the lord calls for."
Following the order of the Kentana barbarian knight, the Eternal Night orc cavalry, who had been showing off their might before, became very cautious, and retreated behind the Kolei beast cavalry like a tide.
Just like Skanbari said, if the Eternal Night orc rangers wanted to hurt them, they would not have waited until now. When the two sides met, they would have launched an attack instead of surrounding them and not fighting.
They choose to do this, naturally they have scruples.
What they worry about is not whether they can beat Skanbari and his party, nor is it because they care about the old feelings of the same clan.
It's because the military regulations of the Yong Ye Army Leader do not allow them to do so.
The result of hasty revenge will only bring disasters to themselves and their clansmen, and they don't want to live that precarious life again.
"Have you got the news that we are coming?" Scambari couldn't help asking the captain of the Kentana barbarian cavalry.
"Everything that happens on the grassland can't be hidden from the eyes of the lord." The Kentana barbarian captain took it for granted, "Everyone, please come with me, the lord has sent people to prepare everything, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents. If there is a conflict, it is better for you all to lower your own bowstrings."
"Uncle Wang." Erile and Ke murmured unwillingly, pulling out half of their minions when they lowered the bowstring.
"Don't worry, if they have the intention of harming us, they don't need to make such a trouble at all. Just obey their arrangement and let our people put down the bowstring." Skanbari didn't have so many worries.
Messenger is such a special job. When he arrives at someone else's territory, he will hand over his own life to someone else's hands.
The only thing they can rely on is the previous analysis of the character of the lord of the Eternal Night Army, and they place their hopes on the other party's temperament, which has not changed much in recent years.
Judging from the limited experience of dealing with the leader of the Eternal Night Army in the Xiodin Empire, the lord of the Eternal Night Army leader has nothing to do with cruelty. Rather than being a lord, he behaved more like a businessman in many places.
At least they won't take the initiative to kill the messenger when the situation is unclear.
"Everyone, obey the prince's order and unload the bowstring." Erile Heke reluctantly obeyed Skambari's suggestion, and took the lead in unloading his own bowstring. The other Odin orcs saw this , and can only obey orders.
"Everyone, please follow me." The Kentana barbarian captain took the lead and led the way, and the other Kolei beast cavalry were divided into two, with the Theodin Empire cavalry guarding in the middle.
"Let's go." Skanbari completely obeyed the other party's arrangement as if he had come and settled down.
Under the half-escort and half-escort of the Kentana barbarian Kolei cavalry, Skambari and his party soon arrived at the opponent's station.
Just a rough observation along the way, Skanbari can basically determine that this is not a nomadic tribe, but a permanent military camp.
The main body of the military camp is made of wood. It is more appropriate to say that it is grown rather than built.
There is no trace of splicing between the woods, and they are mixed together as a whole. The low-height wooden walls are full of vitality and are sprouting.
In this permanent military camp, there are at least the same troops stationed here.
Far away, there was a smell of food coming from the military camp.
Not to mention those Odin orc soldiers, even Skambari, Erile and Ke couldn't help but take a few more deep breaths, trying to distinguish the ingredients in the fragrance.
There must be mutton, as well as the wild vegetables that are often used to stew mutton on the grasslands. In addition, there is also a scent that most Odin orcs are unfamiliar with.
Skanbari, who was a nobleman of the Theodin Empire, knew this fragrance. It was rice fragrance, made of a white-flowered aquatic grain.
This kind of food crop is rarely seen on the grassland, and it is mainly grown in the Huayu Plateau and the Dunao Plain led by the Yongye Army.
The captain of the Kentana savages who was parallel to Scamba Day took a deep breath, smiled at them and said: "You are lucky, just in time for our weekly food improvement, this week is mutton stew with rice Whole sheep soup, this kind of rice is rarely eaten here. The yellow sheep, the two main ingredients, are plentiful on the grassland, but the rice has to be transported all the way from the Huayu Plateau.
No matter what purpose you come with, at this moment, for us, you are our guests, guests are priority, come and inform, let our guests eat this meal first, and prepare more for the cooking team Double the manpower, work overtime, cook more meals, and then there will be no such trouble, just steam more rice or noodles, just enough to fill your stomach. "
Skanbari on the side shook his head again and again when he heard the words, and said, "How can this be possible? As guests, how can we snatch the food from the host? You just need to mark out a place for us to live, and our people will prepare their own meals."
"How can this be done? You are the lord who personally ordered us to entertain good guests. How can we let you prepare your own food?" The Kentana barbarian captain also insisted, "From the moment you stepped into our resident From now on, everything you need should be prepared by us."
"There is no need for you two adults to argue. Before you came back, we have received a notice from the lord that we have added a few more stoves. The food we make is double. The rice and steamed buns have already been steamed. , It won’t be long before it’s out of the pot. Everyone, just let go of your stomach and eat today. It’s just that everyone has survived the disaster year. My stomach is bursting, and this account is on my head." A Kentana savage who looked more like a butcher than a cook, with a thick and thick face, hurried up to him with a shovel-like spatula. .
"I can't guarantee this. Who made your brothers' cooking skills become more and more good recently? You can't help but eat two more bowls of white rice and pickles, let alone a big meal once a week." Kenta Captain Na Barbarian responded solemnly.
"Although I know that you are talking strange things, and you think the usual food is unpalatable, but you can change your thinking, because the food we cook is unpalatable, how much food is left for our resident every day?" Kentana Barbarian chef After waving the shovel in his hand, not only did he not feel ashamed, but he was complacent.
"Don't be poor with me in front of the guests, let your people prepare the meals. If there is anything, we can talk about it after we are full."
"Okay, it will be fine soon."
Scambari had wanted to be courteous to Captain Kentana's savages.
But the other party didn't give them a chance at all, and it didn't take long before a large pot of yellow and orange mutton stewed rice, whole lamb and mutton soup like a chicken, and white steamed buns were brought up.
Except for mutton soup, the other two kinds of food are very strange to the Odin orcs brought by Skambari.
But the tempting aroma of rice emanating from above told them silently that this was probably the supreme delicacy they had never tasted before.
"Mutton stewed rice is limited, and each person can only have one serving. Whole lamb and mutton soup and white flour steamed buns are enough, but not enough to fill up for yourself. Although we don't limit how much you eat, waste is prohibited, so be careful when you take it." Ken The barbarian captain Tana was the first to pick up two large and deep iron lunch boxes, which were similar in shape to stainless steel, and lined them up in front of the cauldron of mutton stew.
And there was a person standing in front of the cauldron a long time ago, it was the head chef who was talking to the captain earlier.
I saw the head chef turned over his shovel-like shovel, and two shovels of mutton stewed rice arrived in the two lunch boxes in the hands of the Kentana barbarian captain.
These two shovels are just like what they are called, no matter their shape or size, they are almost the same.
The captain of the Kentana barbarians stuffed one of the iron lunch boxes into the hands of Skanbari and said: "Our station is a bit far from the territory. It has not been long since it was established. It is relatively simple in all aspects. After receiving the meal, we can find a place to solve it. Also, please, my lord prince, make it easy for a while, and I will take you to see your lord after the belly problem is resolved."
"Your Excellency Lord Sean, are you at your residence?" Skanbari took the hand of the iron lunch box and couldn't help shaking, with an expression of surprise that couldn't be concealed.
"To a certain extent, but not entirely. When you see it, you will naturally know what's going on." The Kentana barbarian captain said vaguely.
He is an honest person, he already took a big spoon, and started to put the mutton stewed rice in his mouth, breathing out while eating it.
On the other side, the orcs of Theodin Empire headed by Orilheke were still struggling, not knowing whether to eat or not.
Some things happened too fast, they haven't fully adapted to their current situation, and they are instinctively wary of these Eternal Night Army leaders, especially in the eyes of those Eternal Night orcs full of hatred and hostility.
Who knows if the other party will mix some things in the diet that shouldn't be mixed.
But the smell of rice wafting in the air was too tempting for them.
They couldn't remember when was the last time they smelled such a sweet rice.
"Don't disappoint the master's good intentions, just eat." It was still Skanbari who let go of himself first, picked up the huge iron lunch box, and sent food to his mouth.
Originally, he just wanted to put on a show to dispel Erile and Ke's concerns, but he never thought that after the first bite of food, he would not be able to stop.
A long time ago, Skanbari had heard that the Yongye army leader had a unique skill in eating this piece. The same ingredients, in their hands, would often be endowed with completely different tastes.
I got to know it today.
Gazelle is the most common and main ingredient on the Odin grassland, and it occupies an extremely important position in the diet of the Odin orcs.
But what makes it occupy the main position is its stronger reproductive ability and faster growth rate, but its taste is much worse, especially the strong fishy smell, which is difficult to suppress even if it is fully cooked. Even if the Odin orc eats it for a lifetime, it is difficult to like it.
The biggest shortcoming of yellow mutton is perfectly solved in the mutton stew in front of me.
The fishy smell was not completely suppressed and eliminated, but mixed with rice fragrance and various wild vegetables to form a new taste.
This brand-new taste is still dominated by the fishy smell of yellow sheep, but it is much milder. After chewing in the mouth, the rice fragrance becomes more and more intense, until finally, the smell is completely covered up.
Not to mention, the traces of clearly identifiable energy contained in yellow sheep and mutton, just after eating, these energies turn into streams of warm currents and permeate the body.
