"That's not, but now there are tens of thousands of wind horses. Generally, unless there are mercenary groups with more than 100,000 people, you can't even think about it. Moreover, these wind horses have the mark of Fengcheng, and no one dares to touch them." Gra shook his head and sighed. He had also thought of going to find the lonely wind horses by Fengma Lake. As long as one is brought back, it will be enough for their mercenary group to eat and drink for half a year.

But this is quite risky. When you encounter a strong person, you may not even have a life if you are not a strong person. If you encounter a Fengcheng Horse Protection Team, it would be fine. They just drive them away but will not hurt people.

But if you offend the horse protection team, there will be no good results. A mercenary group once attacked the horse protection team, but the mercenary group was destroyed, and even the nest was swept away.

After hearing Gra's tone of complaining and dissatisfaction, Xiao Han fell into deep thought. Although he loved the house, was it right or wrong to do so?

Fengma’s reproductive ability is not weak, especially after a quiet and rich life, the reproductive power is faster. Although he is not stupid enough to ask Fenglang and Fengma to live in peace, if the two natural enemies live in peace, it will really destroy the biological chain on the Fengfeng prairie, which will destroy the ecological balance.

The more Fengma breeds, the greater the demand for forage. When the Fengma herd reaches a certain scale, it will also be devastating to the grassland.

This is like humans themselves. Originally, the land output could only maintain food and clothing for one hundred people, but now there are five hundred people. What should I do?

What should the descendants do if they consume all their current resources?

In addition to the war horses needed by the army, the wind horse herd must be controlled to a certain scale, otherwise it will be a huge disaster for the ecology of the Western Regions. Of course, the same is true for the group-like monsters of Fenglang.

Regarding Fenglang, Xiao Han adopted a completely different policy towards Fengshan. Although some soldiers in Fengcheng use Fenglang as their mount, Fenglang must sign a contract with their knights. Wolves are not horses. Horses are gentle and generally do not take the initiative to attack people. Even if they do not sign a contract, people and horses can become friends and partners to fight together, but wolfs are different.

Wolves are born as aggressive animals. If they are not allowed to sign a contract, they may backfire their masters at any time. Therefore, for Fenglang, Xiao Han, in addition to signing a contract, also puts steel bridles on them and keeps them in captivity.

Wolves eat meat and horses eat grass, which is far more difficult to raise than wind and horses. Therefore, the scale of the wind wolf cavalry is far less than that of the wind and horse cavalry, but its combat effectiveness is far greater than that of the wind and horse cavalry.

On the windy prairie, the two strongest groups are the wind wolf and wind horse, which often have bloody battles.

This also caused a vague confrontation between Fenglang Cavalry and Fengma Iron Cavalry, and even Xiao Yin and Xueer had a very bad relationship.

Xiao Han realized that his protection measures were likely to be a good intention to do something bad, but he now needs a war horse, and this protection measures can be lifted until they meet his needs.

Therefore, let this kind of thing maintain the situation where it is rare and precious for a while.

When humans enter the storm of wind, they will inevitably compress the living environment of the monsters, and the tribes of the monsters will inevitably decrease. This is a good time to expand the war horses, and the Wind Wolf Cavalry can also expand some.

But the cost of feeding Fenglang is a bit high, otherwise it can be doubled.

"Brother Feng, there is a camping site in front of you. Let's go there." The caravan was not slow. After walking for more than 500 miles in half a day, the leader of the Gra said that after walking for a day and a half, he could reach their first destination, a town called Feilencui.

Fei Lengcui is the first city to go west to Yumen. This Yumen Pass is named by Xiao Han. One hundred kilometers northwest of Fengcheng. In order to create a good environment for Fengcheng, Xiao Han used the soil and stones that dug canals to make the ore, and surrounded a semicircle on the west side of Fengcheng, leaving only a road to go west, and built a pass between the two mountains. This is Yumen Pass.

Fengma Lake flows into Fengcheng with another passage to the west, and is known as the "water and land" path together with Yumen Pass.

Yumen Pass is just a pass, with only a few barracks in the Guanshan Mountains. The highest commander guarding the pass is just a lieutenant. Since the development of the western region, Yumen Pass has become important. Not only has the manpower increased at the pass, but the official position of the guard has also been raised by two levels, reaching the third-level command level. A team of inner guards has also been formed and a stone village has been built. There are 1,500 permanent defenders, equipped with magic rage and a small number of cavalry.

What Xiao Han was thinking about was this Yumen Pass. Once the demons attacked the Cangmang Continent, Fengcheng was the first to be hit. The importance of this Yumen Pass was prominent. Not only should the mountains on both sides be raised, but the guard forces should be strengthened, but the city should also be strengthened and a more complete defense system should be established.

You don’t know where the enemy will come to attack you. This is the most terrible thing. Be prepared for any trouble. Xiao Han can’t think of a better way. He can only be the soldiers who come to block the water and the soil to cover up the water.

The camping site is next to a small lake. In fact, there are many such small lakes on the windy prairie. In fact, if it weren't for a blizzard, the living environment of the windy prairie would be better than that of the Western Regions.

The amount of rainfall on the windy prairie is at least two or three times higher than that in the Western Regions, otherwise there would be no such abundant water and grass here, and there would be cattle and horses in herds.

There are also herds of fire cattle on the windy prairie, but each has its own areas. The places where fire cattle are mainly active in the southwest part, as well as fire foxes, etc. In fact, each ethnic group on the prairie has its own range of activities, just like Fengma. The farthest distance is around Fengma Lake, because the water plants are the most abundant there.

There are also some weak group of monsters, such as antelope, which are basically active in areas that rely on humans to live. Generally, hunters and mercenaries will only hunt for food, and it is worthless to bring them back and sell them.

Several caravans have already been stationed in the campground, with the largest number of people and the strongest naturally occupying the edge of the lake.

Due to the wind and snow, the small lake has frozen, but it is not very thick. After being smashed by the mercenaries with stones, they took water and cooked food.

At this time, there are basically no monsters on the storm. Most monsters migrate south to the south for winter in autumn, or return to their nests to hibernate, and then wait for the spring of the next year to come out.

There are fish in the lake, and this is the fattest time, but the ice on the lake surface is so cold that it cannot be eaten.

"Gela, you're here too." Several caravans seemed to be very familiar with Gra and greeted him enthusiastically.

They have now changed their careers and become caravans. They have hated them when they are not mercenaries. Anyway, business is endless, so it is necessary to make good fortune. Maybe when will people bring you a hand? Who can tell you what will happen tomorrow?

"I heard that you earned thousands of gold coins last time. Is this a matter?"

"How can I do this? I have the little capital. If I deduct the principal and the salary I paid to my brothers, it would be only two or three hundred," Gra said in an impossible manner.

"Brother, you are not authentic anymore. I have heard that your family is ready to build a new house, so you have to invite me to drink..."

"Hehe, okay, I'll treat you to drink when I go back this time." Gra agreed happily.

Because of his acquaintance, Gra soon led more than 100 subordinates to camp in a sheltered place near the lake.

Looking at the busy mercenaries, Xiao Han also set up a single tent for himself on the edge of the camp, then hid in and lay down.

About half an hour later, Gra's voice rang.

"Brother Feng, it's time to eat"

Xiao Han was just about to say that he didn't want to eat, but then he thought, he was very enthusiastic, so why should he keep him out?

After thinking about it, Xiao Han agreed, and came out of the tent, walked with Gra toward a bonfire, a steel tripod with a large pot of pot, and the wood below was burning. The soup in the pot had boiled, constantly rolling, emitting an attractive fragrance.

"Brother Feng, let's warm up the body." Gra served a large bowl of hot soup for Xiao Han in a wooden bowl and said enthusiastically.

"Thank you" Although Gra is a bit of a favor, this person is a good person. He took the wooden bowl and said thank you, and sat down.

Gra's smiled, took out a water bag from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Han quietly, saying, "Drink some, it's cold."

The water bag is definitely not filled with water, so there is only wine. Seeing that Gra is hiding in his clothes and the bag is still a little warm, you can tell at a glance that this is his personal goods. If he drinks it, he will have nothing to drink.

"You drink it yourself, I have it here." Xiao Han smiled slightly and pushed it back.

"Hehe, Brother Feng must have good wine. You will definitely look down on me." Grae smiled embarrassedly, took back the water bag and said.

Xiao Han smiled slightly and did not refute. Some of the wine in his space rings were all good, at least for more than thirty years. In the eyes of people like Gra, they probably couldn't afford to drink it, and he was unwilling to take it out, for fear that the mercenary commander would be less casual in speaking.

"I drink"

Gra was stunned and handed over the wine bag in her hand.

Xiao Han pulled out the cork and put it on his nose and sniffed it. It was indeed not a good wine, but it smelled a spicy smell, which was better than rum. It was a bit like a burning knife, and it was a wine that men drank.

I tilted my neck and took a sip, like a ball of fire coming into my mouth, and then flowed into my stomach along my throat.

"Not bad" Xiao Han praised. Drinking depends on his mood. Although the quality of this wine is not high, he is in a good mood at the moment. No matter how bad the wine is, he can taste it.

Gra has been a mercenary for half her life. Although Xiao Han was dressed in an ordinary mercenary outfit, it was all outside. He saw the brocade silk cotton inside. This was not something that ordinary mercenaries could wear.

The great sword master in front of him must have a dual identity, but this is someone else's privacy. He doesn't want to know, nor dares to know.

I just want to have a good relationship with Xiao Han along the way, maybe this is his noble man.

Xiao Han didn't know that the generous man in front of him actually saw so many tricks and even regarded him as a noble person.

It is true that if Xiao Han wanted to support Gra, it would be easy, but he hadn't thought of doing this yet. Maybe he wanted to know more, maybe he was unwilling to reveal his identity.

A large bowl of mutton soup was put into my stomach and felt warm all over my body, and it felt a sense of comfort.

Gela is a very talkative person, especially for the customs and customs of the Western Regions. This man, who is over fifty, seems to have nothing he doesn't know about.

Xiao Han also knew that Gra was not an illiterate person. He studied at Daolin Academy in his early years. He was dropped out of school because of his qualifications. He practiced for forty years before he became a senior swordsman. His qualifications were indeed very poor. However, there were not many mercenaries who had been with him for thirty years, and such cultivation was still intact.

This cannot be said that Gra's luck is very good, and he hid from the brink of death several times without any damage.

Mercenaries are a very short-term profession. Generally, professional mercenaries will change their careers after ten or eight years. If they have some money, do business, or guard the house, join the army, etc., they are better than being a mercenary. Unless you have the strength and mercenaries without strength, they are just cannon fodder-level existences in the mercenary group.

The number of mercenaries who die each year is calculated in millions, which is not considered normal death.

He has been a mercenary for thirty years and is still a high-level swordsman. He is a seldom in the mercenary world. The choice of Gra's to change career to be a caravan is undoubtedly very correct and has a vision.

Gra is just a civilian. Although he is very talented, he has no support. With the experience of being expelled from the academy in his early years, even if he has the will, he can only do nothing for the rest of his life.

Only fifty years old, it is the golden age for a man

"I heard that Fengcheng is going to issue a sensation order. Anyone who feels capable can take their tests. Once they pass the qualification, they will be hired and become an official after training. Gra, you have a unique understanding of the current situation. Why not try it? Maybe you can get a good background?" Xiao Han thought about it carefully. Although it was only a matter of his words to make Gra an official, people still have to work hard on their own. He can give opportunities, but if he doesn't work hard and cherish them, it would be useless.

"How did Brother Feng learn this news?" After Gra's expression was shocked, he quickly calmed down. He was actually very excited. If this news was true, it would have a huge impact on the entire Western Regions. For a small person like him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must not be moved.

At the same time, Gra's thought about Xiao Han's identity in his heart. What policy Fengcheng wants to introduce is not something that ordinary people can know in advance. So far, every policy announced by Fengcheng is shocking, and no news has been heard in advance.

"Don't worry about how I got this news. In short, if you have this ambition and don't want to bury all your knowledge, just try it." Xiao Han smiled slightly.

"Yes, Brother Gra, just try it. Anyway, it's nothing. If you really succeed, won't we brothers have a support in the future?" The mercenaries next to him also started to clamor after hearing Xiao Han's words.

"What do you all know? The order to seek talents is not something you can become an official at will. It requires real talent and learning. I am in my fifties and my grandson is about to be born. Why are you still an official?" Gla rebuked lightly. In fact, his eyes had betrayed him. He was moved, but he might have some concerns and could not say anything.

"Brother Gra, I have a few rare struggles in life. If I missed it, I will no longer have it. If I didn't see Brother Gra's passionate and sincere, I wouldn't have told you." Xiao Han said.

"Brother Feng, you respect me so much. If it were twenty years earlier, I would have tried it without hesitation, but now, I..."

"You can't abandon your current rich and peaceful life, right?" Xiao Han's eyes were sharp and he suddenly saw through Gra's heart.

"Brother Feng, you..." Gra looked at Xiao Han in amazement, opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

"Gra, do you think you are very satisfied with your life now?" Xiao Han said, "Did you have no other pursuits except for eating and wearing well? Or are you the ambitions and ambitions of the Western Regions people in you cleaned up the years?"

"Brother Feng, you said a little..." Gra said with a knot on his tongue when he heard this.

"Brother Gra, since you don't want to, even if I'm talking about it in vain, please don't spread this news." Xiao Han stood up, walked back to his tent, left Gra and others behind, stunned.

"Brother Grah, this is an opportunity, why don't you go?"

"Brother Moge, how do you know that the Feng surname is true? Fengcheng has not announced it yet, so I just went there like this. What if there is no such thing?"

"Sereni is right, this matter is still certain, it's too late to say it now."

"But if it is true, this will seize the opportunity..."

The mercenaries talked all the time, and almost half of the supporters and cautious ones accounted for. You can't convince me, and I can't convince you.
To be continued...
