< -- 179 times: volume 8 - chapter 3. Nomads in Kunt territory -->

After my business, I returned to Kunt territory, where a refugee camp was formed in the area of Kunt Castle.

I muttered in a daze.

“What is that? ”

A group that appears to be refugees is living in a shabby tent. But the strange thing was that there were so many words about the well-mannered refugees. That looks like a view of the nomads of the Horn Empire...

Eg?

That's a nomad, right?

It was definitely a characteristic of the nomadic tribe that strong men who cared for horses hid their cloaks around their waist in meters.

Are you saying Kunt Castle was attacked by the nomads?

What nonsense…….

No matter how vigorous the nomads in the Horn Empire may be, they may not have made it this far, and if the attack were true, my father would not have let them go. A father who boasts almost a serial killer mindset must have been thrilled to be kicked out.

“Let's go down for a minute. ”

“Yes."

Julia, who was picking up snacks with Sis in a dirt house flying in the sky, agreed to my proposal. Sis nods.

I slowly lowered the earthhouse to the ground.

The nomads found us and made a silly face. A house made of dirt was flying around the sky, and it was normal for him to look surprised.

The nomadic men roar. He was wary of me.

I came out of the earthhouse and opened my mouth.

“I am the three sons of the Kunt writer... Well, not anymore. A Ligand Bird of Caroc. ”

I was deeply moved by what I said myself.

Now he is not the bastard of the Kunt family, but the head of one family. It also inherited the name of the long-lost Grand Spirit Raul Ligand.

Then one of the men cautiously asked, a man of bronzed muscle in his mid-30s.

“You just mentioned the author Kunt, what is your relationship with Caroc Kunt? ”

“Huh? I'm Caroc Kunt. It's not Kunt anymore. It's Caroc Ligand. ”

Then, somehow, the men's faces brightened.

The man said.

“We were originally a member of the Wind of the Horn Empire, and among them were Thalark nomads. I was banished from my tribe, wandered about in the meadows, and was picked up by Lord Condol. ”

“What about Lord Condol, Patrick? ”

“Yes. I am pleased to hear that Caroc Kunt will take us away." ”

Then all the nomads looked at me with an anticipated glance.

Patrick sent this one with the Eggs to the Horn Empire, and you brought in some refugees.

The number of nomads here seemed to be more than 200. Patrick, when did this guy get so big? The courage to take on this massive force. I'd be able to do that.

I asked a man in his mid-30s who seemed to be their representative.

“What's your name? ”

“I am Balac. He used to be the number three warrior of the Tallac tribe. He is now the interim commander of the Condol Cavalry. ”

“Condol Cavalry? ”

At that moment, I remembered telling Patrick that I needed to build the best cavalry on the continent.

Patrick really did what I said.

I see. That's why we picked the wandering nomads. Bringing in nomadic warriors is the most effective way to organize the best cavalry.

I told Balak.

“I see. I understand. Don't worry, I'll take you away. Did you say Commander Balac? ”

“Yes!”

I examined Balac with my senses of gnome. I looked like a senior user to come moderately. Besides, if you were the number three warrior of the Tallarks, you wouldn't find horseback riding and mercenary tricks unusual.

“I will appoint you a knight of the writer's ligand. Do you swear your allegiance to me? ”

“Of course! Lord! ”

Balac immediately knelt before me. It was the nomads' custom to kneel with both hands on the ground, but it doesn't matter.

“Balac, I appoint you my knight. Stay loyal to the writer of the ligand. ”

“Yes, Lord! ”

I've chosen Balac to be my knight.

On hearing Balak's exact report, Patrick brought in 207 nomadics, of which 57 were men from the Condol Cavalry capable of combat.

Though there are not many of them yet, it was an encouraging achievement considering the outstanding horseback riding skills of the nomadic people.

If we built a cavalry with them at the heart, it would be a powerful force.

Moreover, the battle between the nomads and the imperial kingdoms is about to begin. Perhaps the result is an imperial victory. I cannot imagine the defeat of Emperor Kars.

Then maybe I can absorb more of the nomads who were defeated and lost their way to the Imperial Court? Just as Emperor Kars acquires the nomads to conquer the continent, so do I!

I was inspired to have another hope of stopping Emperor Kars.

“Don't worry, I'll take all of you. Stay here for a while. I'll take care of all the food for the family. ”

“Thank you, Lord. ”

Balac became impressed.

“But what about Patrick? ”

“The commander and Yuran went to the mansion of the writer Kunt. I've been told I need to report on my progress in the Horn Empire. ”

“Looks like he's waiting for me back at the mansion. Got it.”

I flew back to the mansion with Julia and Sissy.

There was already an egg and Patrick waiting for me in the mansion.

“Hey, egg. How did you make money?”

“With the exception of the Baden River toll, customs duties and other expenses of the Horn Empire, I have earned 80,000 Redina in net income. ”

“Really?"

I was surprised by the words 80,000 Redina. That much net profit, exporting to the Horn Empire was more fun than I expected. I was also very good at preparing exports boldly in advance.

I spoke to Patrick this time.

“Patrick, that's quite a bucket. I can't believe you got all 207 nomads. ”

“Oh, I'm sorry, Lord. ”

Patrick apologizes with a red face.

I slapped him on the back with a smile.

“No, you did a great job. The Condol Cavalry, that's exactly what I wanted for you. I have a strong feeling I'm going to be the best cavalry on the continent! ”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. If you go to the Horn Empire again, bring more nomads." Don't mind the numbers. Collect whatever you can. They'll be the best cavalry in the world. ”

“Leave it to me.”

A nomadic cavalry led by a former mercenary king, Condol, makes me excited to imagine.

I saw the eggs.

“More food will be exported to the Horn Empire in the future. Are you going to be okay?”

“Yes, or the Tallacs will buy all the food they have. ”

“The Tallacs? ”

Are you going to buy everything you have? Did the nomads have that much money? Has the loot been doing well lately?

The egg glances around and speaks in a calm voice.

“Yes, it seems Chief Tallac is well funded after the siege. ”

Ah, I see.

“Was it the Tallarks who were controlling the nomads behind Earl Lancel? ”

“Et? Did you know? ”

I told the surprised egg.

“I have my own network of information. ”

Actually, I heard it from Grand Duke Jason Lanzhel.

“I see. It looks like the rebellious nomads are gathering around the Thalarks, after all. Soon it will be a big battle with the Imperial Court. ”

“We're going to need a lot of food for the war. ”

“Yes. But that's even worse for the nomads." We need a stronger escort force than we do now. ”

“I'll give you the Condol Cavalry. Isn't that enough? ”

“The Condol Cavalry? Ah! Of course that's enough. ”

Patrick intends to escort the Condol Cavalry to the Eggs. It is also a practical exercise, and it is easy to attract nomads who have been expelled from the tribe as colleagues.

“So when does the next ascent leave? ”

“What are you already asking after you just got back? Rest well for a while. ”

“Haha, thank you. ”

Apparently, the eggs were motivated because they made a lot of money.

I gave 2,000 of the 80,000 Redinas that spawned the eggs as a bounty to the Eggs.

“Well done. Share it with your men. ”

“Thank you!”

The egg was very happy.

Great. Things are going according to plan.
