Chapter 382 The owner of the horse farm takes office
Compared with the current breeding farms that are only responsible for raising cattle and sheep, the horse farms are now larger. There is no way, not only because of the importance, but also because of the amount of exercise required by the horses. The demand is greater.
Generally, horses that have been basically trained will be placed in large pens regularly and allowed to move freely.
As for the wild horses that have just been captured or have not yet been trained, they are all tied in the stables for taming.
At first glance, the number of horses in the racecourse has increased significantly compared to before he left.
Although it’s not a good thing to say, this was due to the destruction of the elven villages.
When the Elf Village was still there, as long as other forces entered their territory, they would be warned by the prairie elves, so everyone avoided that area.
Over time, it became a refuge for many herbivores.
Earlier, Zhou Xu and others searched the grassland for wild horses but could not find them. What was the reason?
It’s because the wild horses escaped into the territory of the prairie elves.
But now, the territory of the prairie elves no longer exists, leaving these herbivores on the grassland with almost nowhere to hide when faced with the hunting team of Zhouxu Prairie Village.
The capture efficiency has increased significantly, including wild horse bison.
After experiencing a wave of tragic losses in early winter, the losses in horses have not only been completely compensated, but the number has even significantly exceeded before.
"How many horses do we have now?"
Looking at the person in charge of the racecourse running over, Zhou Xu directly asked this question.
"Reporting to the leader, including the war horses that have been put into military use and those that have not yet been tamed, there are a total of seventy-three."
At this point, the horse farm owner quickly explained.
“In the beginning, Lieutenant Li Ce and the others were very efficient in catching wild horses. Basically, they could catch more than a dozen horses every time they went out.”
“But now the wild horses are all gone. Be smart, it’s not that easy to find anymore. It’s been a while since we caught new wild horses.”
At this time, there was obvious regret in the voice of the horse farm owner, who was used to the crazy harvest before. Suddenly the days of no harvest came, and he really didn't adapt to it.
But Zhou Xu was obviously satisfied with this number.
The focus now is on the selection and training of war horses.
"Come, let me introduce to you. This is Ma Guotao, my newly summoned Divine Chosen One. From today on, he will be the top person in charge of the racecourse."
After Zhou Xu's brief introduction, after learning the identity of the other party's 'God's Chosen One', the racecourse owner naturally had no objections to his immediate superior who had descended from the air.
During this period, although Ma Guotao could not wait to rush up to watch the horses, but considering that the front owner in front of him would most likely be his right-hand man and work with him, Ma Guotao still held back. With this impulse, he greeted the other party very enthusiastically.
Socially, Ma Guotao can be considered a veteran, and he became familiar with the original owner within a few moments.
After that, Zhou Xu called Ma Guotao over again, intending to explain the next task to him.
“The next thing, I told you roughly on the way here, after the beginning of spring, we are likely to encounter an invasion of lizard people. For this reason, I need to train a large number of cavalry, Compete with the opponent, and your job is to select and train the war horse."
At this point, Zhou Xu paused.
“Time is limited and the task is heavy. Do you understand?”
"I understand."
Hearing this, Ma Guotao's expression quickly became serious.
From the beginning, he did not think that the primitive era could be very peaceful. War was definitely inevitable.
But he didn't expect it at the beginning. This was actually a world with magical elements, not only elves, centaurs, but also lizardmen.
But from Zhou Xu's words, he could probably feel that facing the invasion of lizard people next, although it would definitely be a fierce battle, it was not impossible to fight. The outcome of this war at this time was undoubtedly related to his own life, and he could not be unserious.
“I will go all out!”
“Okay! I’ll leave it to you then. You’ve also seen the original racecourse owner. You can know everything about the racecourse from now on. Ask him, if there is anything he can't solve, you can go to the village chief Ye Jinghong, and I will arrange it for you."
At this point, Zhou Xu took a look at the sky and then considered it. To their running around these days.
“If your body can’t hold it anymore, you can officially start working again tomorrow.”
"No, I can start work now, no problem at all!"
While speaking, Ma Guotao also patted his chest vigorously.
This racecourse is simply paradise in his eyes.
Looking at so many wild horses, his dopamine is continuing to be secreted. He is so high now that he doesn't feel tired at all!
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Xu said nothing more. After a few more brief explanations, he turned and left.
After all, at this stage, there are many things waiting for him to deal with.
After leaving the racecourse, Zhou Xu quickly called Ye Jinghong to ask about the situation.
"Tell me, what's going on on the grassland during this time?"
"Following your wishes, leader, we have set up a number of simple outposts near the 'edge of the world'. And arrange for soldiers to be stationed and patrolled."
As he spoke, Ye Jinghong spread out the animal skin map and pointed out several newly marked points.
Obviously, these are the locations of their newly established outposts.
It is said to be an outpost, but it is actually a few very simple tent camps set up so that they can monitor the movements there at all times.
Late inadvertently, the lizardmen come in and they don’t even know it.
"So far, according to what we have discovered, the passage to the 'World's Edge' has been opened twice, but no lizard man came out of it."
"In response to this situation , From the current point of view, there are two possibilities. One is that the lizard people are not planning to attack at this stage, and the other is that the lizard people did not notice the opening of the two channels.”
After listening to Ye Jinghong's report, Zhou Xu nodded.
According to the information obtained from the prairie elves, the formation of energy channels is random. The only thing that can be determined is that the closer the two world fragments are, the higher the probability that the energy channels will appear.
From this point of view, the second possibility is not impossible.
But Zhou Xu believes that the reason is most likely the former.
The second question, there are many ways to solve it. If you really want to call me, there is always a way.
Even according to his guess, the lizard people might have a way to manually open the energy channel.
At that time, a snowstorm swept across the grassland, but they did not find a large number of lizard-man corpses on the grassland. What does this mean?
This shows that they most likely did not die in the blizzard, but left before the blizzard completely swept through.
But the energy channels are randomly generated, they can't just be lucky, right?
Zhou Xu doesn’t think so.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world? There is only inevitable cause and effect!
