The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Northern grasslands of the Principality of Denton - Temple of the Igle Tribe

"Great Elder, clan leader Tiele requests to see you." The waiter came to the meditation room and reported to the Great Elder, the priest Zavak.

Zavak opened his eyes. "Please let him in."

After a few breaths, the tribe leader Tiele came in and said, "Great Elder."

"Tie Le, is there something urgent?"

"Elder, this year's grain trade has been affected by the war between the Principality of Denton and the Principality of Burgundy in the south. The tribe's furs cannot be sold and the grain cannot be exchanged. In addition, there are many newborns in the tribe. If we don't find a solution, many elders in the tribe may not survive this winter."

The grasslands follow the typical law of survival of the fittest. When food is scarce, the brave warriors in the tribe are given priority, and the elderly are abandoned. It has nothing to do with feelings, but just for better survival...

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

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

Although Tiele is the patriarch and a warrior with the strength of a high-level knight's attendant, the one who calls the shots in the tribe is the great elder Zavak. Not only is Zavak's wisdom unrivaled among all the tribes on the grassland, but also because Zavak possesses a mysterious power that even he himself is in awe of. It is precisely because of Zavak's strength that the Igle tribe has developed from a small tribe into one of the largest tribes in the northern grassland.

Zavak looked at Tiele deeply and said, "Tiele, you have grown a lot."

"These are all your teachings." Tiele said respectfully.

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

"So what 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 to power a hundred years ago, the grassland's strength has plummeted and it has been divided into tribes of all sizes. The descendants 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 too much tax on us, every dispute among the grassland tribes is inseparable from the suzerain state's instigation. So, Tiele, appropriate consumption is fine, but if the strength declines too quickly, even if we obtain some supplies, it will not be worth the loss."

"I understand, Great Elder." Tiele replied.

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

……

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

"Commander, the barbarians in the north have been moving frequently recently. I'm afraid there may be some unusual movements. We have to be on guard." The spy reported.

"Humph, you have evil intentions. The king has been on guard against it for a long time. Didn't he send me here to take charge?" The pot-bellied Marquis Justin Howard said nonchalantly.

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

"What's going on in the east? Are the Wind Legion and the Flame Legion still attacking Burgundy?" Justin asked.

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

"Ah, it seems that we can't do our best. It's also because the Wind Legion and the Flame Legion played too conservatively. If it were us, we would have captured the other side's capital by now."

The spy didn't dare to respond to Captain Justin's mumbling.

"I understand. You go down and continue to observe the movements of the Igle tribe. Also, find Richie for me." Justin ordered.

"Yes, Commander." The spy went down.

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

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

"No sir. The last batch of slaves have all been sold in exchange for a lot of supplies, and your family has kept some of them." Richie replied.

"Alas, if there hadn't been constant war in the country, I wouldn't have gotten into the slave trade. It's just a waste of time."

"Sir, you are doing this for the principality. I think the adults in the capital will not say anything. Besides, the military supply is not enough. Shouldn't we let people find a solution ourselves?"

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

"Yes, sir. It is said that last time there was a baron with a fiefdom who was in dire need of people in his territory. He needed a large number of people, so he ordered another 500 male slaves." Richie said.

"It's hard to find slaves in China. If the Igle tribe in the north dares to come, it's just right to send me money." (Due to the economic downturn in China, many people in the northern counties can't make a living, and many more people volunteer to become slaves. However, due to the recent hot sale of slaves, Justin doesn't have many left.)

"Yes, sir. If the Igle tribe dares to challenge your majesty, I believe they will suffer a bloody defeat." Richie flattered him.

"Hahaha." Justin laughed happily.

……

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

"Haha" Colin laughed proudly.

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

After a long period of study, Colin understood that the military structure of this alien world was far more powerful than that of his previous life. Although he did not have the ability to fly and hide in the ground as described in the legends of his previous life, it was also an extraordinary path. Judging from the knight path he had mastered so far, "Apprentice Knight Squire - Low-level Knight Squire - Intermediate Knight Squire - Senior Knight Squire - Quasi-Knight - Knight." It would be enough for him to practice for a long time.

Although the book does not mention what kind of social status one will gain when acquiring these powers, observing the legions in the Emerald Territory, they are basically stronger than knight squires.

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