The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Chapter 16: Igle Tribe

The northern grassland of the Principality of Denton - the Temple of the Igle Tribe

"Great elder, the chief Tiele wants to see you." The waiter came to the meditation room and reported to the great elder, the priest Zawak.

Zawak opened his eyes and said, "Please let him in."

After a few breaths, the chief Tiele came in and said, "Great elder."

"Tiele, is there something urgent?"

"Elder, this year's grain trade is affected by the war between the Principality of Denton and the Principality of Burgundy in the south. The fur in the tribe cannot be sold and the grain cannot be exchanged. There are also many newborns in the tribe. If we don't find a solution, many elderly people in the tribe may not survive this winter."

The grassland follows the typical law of survival of the fittest. When there is a shortage of food, it must be given priority to the warriors in the tribe, and the elderly are abandoned. It has nothing to do with feelings, but just for better survival...

"What do you think?" Zawak looked at Tiele and said.

"Our tribe has been recuperating for many years, and the warriors in the tribe have grown a lot. The Principality of Denton and the Principality of Burgundy are at war. No matter which country we invade from the south, we can get a lot of results. On the one hand, we can get food and other supplies, and on the other hand... we can also consume some warriors." Tiele hesitated and said.

Although Tiele is the patriarch and a warrior with the strength of a high-level knight attendant, the one who makes the decision in the tribe is the elder Zavak. It is not only because Zavak's wisdom is the best among the tribes on the grassland, but also because Zavak has mysterious power. Even I am in awe of him. It is precisely because of Zavak's strength that the Igle tribe has developed from a small tribe to one of the largest tribes in the northern grassland.

Zavak looked at Tiele deeply, "Tie Le, you have grown a lot."

"It's all your teachings." Tiele said respectfully.

"The Principality of Burgundy is at a disadvantage. From the perspective of benefits, it is more appropriate to attack Burgundy, but we still have to look at the surrounding situation. If Burgundy is destroyed, I believe that the Principality of Denton will not stop its expansion. After digesting Burgundy, the crisis on the grassland will come."

"What do you mean? ... Go south to the Principality of Denton?" Tiele asked cautiously.

"The suzerain Huiyao Empire does not allow a powerful grassland empire to exist in the north. Since the failure of Tongmu Zhen Khan, who rose strongly a hundred years ago, to become emperor, the strength of the grassland has plummeted and divided into large and small tribes. The children of the Golden Family are all over the grassland. After years of endless wars, no one can replicate the great achievements of Tongmu Zhen Khan."

"Although the suzerain state did not impose multiple taxes on us, every dispute among the grassland tribes is inseparable from the suzerain state's instigation. So, Tiele, appropriate consumption is okay, but the strength declines too quickly. Even if some supplies are obtained, it is not worth the loss."

"I understand, great elder." Tiele replied.

"Since you want to make some moves, take more warriors to the south and try. Don't worry about your family. I believe that with me here, no tribe dares to come here to make trouble." Zavak said confidently.

...

The northern border of the Principality of Denton-Tiger Legion Camp

"Captain, the northern barbarians have been frequently mobilized recently. I'm afraid there will be unusual movements. We have to guard against it." The spy reported.

"Humph, wolfish ambitions, the capital has long been on guard. Didn't they send me here to take charge?" The pot-bellied Marquis Justin Howard said nonchalantly.

Although Justin Howard's figure is a little out of shape, his strength should not be underestimated. With the strength of a senior knight attendant, he made a name for himself as a northern tiger when he was young.

"How is the east? Are the Wind Legion and the Flame Legion still attacking Burgundy?" Justin asked.

"Sir, the latest news seems to be in peace talks." The spy replied.

"Alas, it seems that we can't do our best. It's also because the Wind Legion and the Flame Legion are too conservative. If we were to go there, we would have almost taken down the other side's capital."

Facing Captain Justin's mumbling, the spy didn't dare to respond.

"I know, you go down, pay attention to continue to observe the movements of the Igle tribe, and find Richie for me." Justin ordered.

"Yes, Captain." The spy went down.

After a while, Richie (Chief of Logistics and Quartermaster of the Tiger Legion, Justin's confidant) walked in. "Sir."

"Are there any difficulties in the recent military supply?" Justin asked.

"No, sir, the last batch of slaves have been sold, and a lot of supplies have been exchanged, and your family has also kept some." Richie replied.

"Hey, if there weren't constant wars in the country, I wouldn't do this slave trade. It's just to make people look down on me."

"Sir, you are doing this for the principality. I think the adults in the capital won't say anything. Besides, the supplies supplied by the military are not enough. Can't we let people find a way out?"

"By the way, that Barto in the south sea seems to have bought a lot of slaves recently?" Justin asked again.

"Yes, sir, it is said that there was a baron of a fiefdom last time. He was in great need of people in his territory and needed a large number of people. This time he ordered 500 male slaves." Richie said.

"It's hard to find domestic ones. If the Igle tribe in the north dares to come, it's just right to give me money." (Because of the domestic economic downturn, many people in the northern counties can't survive, and many people have voluntarily become slaves, but the recent hot sale of slaves has left Justin with few in his hands.)

"Yes, sir, as long as the Igle tribe dares to offend your power, I believe they will be beaten to a pulp." Richie flattered him.

"Hahaha." Justin laughed happily.

...

Today is a good day, everything I want can come true.

"Haha" Colin laughed proudly.

Finally, with the help of Nora, Colin recognized every word on the Knight Breathing Method. It turned out that this was a Knight Breathing Method mainly for defense. Although the content of the book was incomplete, it could also be practiced to the intermediate knight attendant.

Long-term study made Colin understand that the force structure of this other world was far more powerful than that of the previous life. Although it did not have the ability to fly and hide in the ground as the legend of the previous life, it was also an extraordinary road. Judging from the knight path currently mastered, "Apprentice Knight Squire-Low-level Knight Squire-Intermediate-level Knight Squire-High-level Knight Squire-Quasi-Knight-Knight." It is enough for me to practice for a long time.

Although the book did not say what social status would be obtained when these strengths were obtained, observing the legions in the Emerald Territory, they basically had the strength of knight attendants or above.

As long as I become a low-level knight attendant, it would not be difficult to change my slave status.
