When it was daybreak in the morning, Zhang Tie had set off with the team of the grey eagle tribe. At about 2 pm, after 6-7 hours of rushing, the team of the grey eagle tribe finally arrived at the estuary of Fitjar.
The estuary of Fitjar was in the northeast of the grey eagle tribe while the estuary of Fitjar was in the northwest of the grey eagle tribe. The distance between the estuary of Fitjar and the estuary of Fitjar was about 500 km.
On the way, Zhang Tie finally experienced the long-distance running ability of a rhino-horse. After over 400 km, his horsemanship had improved a bit. At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't need to control the rein by hand; instead, he could drive the rhino-horse purely by his feet.
As for any cavalryman, it was the first step for him to have a great battle strength.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could practice horsemanship, one of the 6 compulsory courses of Hidden Dragon Palace in this trip to Ice and Snow Wilderness. Therefore, he felt pretty good. Although Zhang Tie knew that the riding course in Hidden Dragon Palace would not be as simple as this, he didn't believe that he could not handle a mount as the only successor of Great Wilderness Sect... Although Zhang Tie knew that the riding course in Hidden Dragon Palace would not be as simple as this, he only needed to ride on the mount for a circle without falling off; additionally, it must include a lot of fighting skills and various riding movements and standard training for cavalries. However, Zhang Tie didn't believe that he could not handle a mount as the only successor of Great Wilderness Sect...
Therefore, Zhang Tie was very happy! For others, it was a march; however, for Zhang Tie, it was like a tour.
After being tortured two days ago and this early morning, Zhang Tie had already dissolved 1/3 of the energy of the bone-exploding needles in his body. It would only take him 3-4 days to completely dissolve the remaining energy. Therefore, Zhang Tie was not worried about that at all.
Additionally, Zhang Tie estimated that the pain he had endured when he dissolved the bone-exploding needles these days might have caused the small tree in Castle of Black Iron to grow an iron-body fruit. With fruits to eat, Zhang Tie felt that his life was full of sunshine no matter where he was. It was like being a human flesh-bag in the fighting club in Blackhot City. In many cases, as long as one changed his mentality, everything would change.
Seeing Zhang Tie running back and forth on the rhino-horse cheerfully and soaring in the air, the two people of the grey eagle tribe gritted their teeth.
O'Laura was the first one who gritted her teeth. She couldn't understand why a guy who had been hit by the bone-exploding needles and lost the greater part of his freedom could be so happy. Since Setton said those strange words to her that night, she had always felt that Zhang Tie was not pleasing to her eyes these days.
"Did he just hunt huge wolves in the snow wolf lake yesterday? Did he do anything else?" O'Laura asked Setton while gritting her teeth on the back of a snow-white rhino-horse. Based on her woman's instinct, O'Laura didn't believe in Zhang Tie's excuse no matter how pious he looked.
"This guy really just killed huge wolves in the wild. He didn't do anything else!" Setton whispered. At this moment, even he admired Zhang Tie's boldness. Of course, Zhang Tie was also very good at learning horsemanship. Very few people could reach his level in 2 days. Setton attributed all these to Zhang Tie's "mysterious background". Perhaps Zhang Tie had touched other mounts before; therefore, he could adapt to the rhino-horse so fast. Of course, since he could touch mounts since he was young, he must have a good family background. "How could Zhang Tie do that? At this moment, if Zhang Tie took out that modified tricycle that he had been playing with since he was young, Setton would never believe that this was the "mount" that Zhang Tie had been playing with since he was young.
"This guy is too cunning. I always feel that he didn't tell us the truth. Don't be cheated by his look!" O'Laura warned Setton.
Setton scratched his head as he smirked. He then threw a glance at O'Laura's rhino-horse, "Speaking of look, have you found that the color of your rhino-horse is as same as that of that guy's pet owl? They're both white. They match each other very well. I remember that your rhino-horse used to be black..."
After saying this, before O'Laura lost her temper, Setton kicked his rhino-horse, causing it to rush out.
O'Laura didn't lose her temper; instead, she became stunned...
...
At the sight of Zhang Tie's cheerful look, the one who gritted his teeth in the team of the grey eagle tribe was the guy who provoked Zhang Tie outside the tribe yesterday — — Salem.
Salem was the eldest son of Elder Ollier and the head of the largest armed force in the grey eagle tribe. Among the sons of Elder Ollier, this guy was the most powerful one. He had reached LV 9.
Without mobilization, there were over 900 professional fighters in the grey eagle tribe, which was the most powerful military force in the grey eagle tribe. Almost 600 of them were led by Salem, while only about 300 fighters were led by Setton who were loyal to O'Laura.
Of course, fighters could not be called fighters with a saber. Based on the population scale and economic strength of the grey eagle tribe, it was already a bit difficult for them to maintain a regular battle force of about 900 people.
Professional fighters didn't participate in the production of the tribe. Therefore, they would not bring any income to the tribe. However, the cost of a professional fighter's weapons, equipment, armors, training and daily consumption was definitely not small; especially in Ice and Snow Wilderness, all the fighters were equipped with a mount so that they could have mobility. Therefore, it would cost at least 50 gold coins to maintain a common fighter a year. Tens of thousands of gold coins a year was indeed a great expense for a small tribe without a strong economic pillar like the grey eagle tribe.
Because of this, what O'Laura needed most was money. With money, she could train more and more powerful fighters. With more and more fighters, she could regain the authority of the tribe without shedding blood. In the tribe, besides representing fighting strength, fighters also represented families. The more fighters you had, the more families will support you in the tribe and the more authority you will have.
