In the mountains north of Tanaris, the Flying Golem is flying with great effort. The reason why it is so strenuous is because there are four people hanging below it!
"You four idiots are as heavy as pigs!"
Noggenfogg said angrily. Although he didn't feel tired himself, he felt sorry for the flying golem!
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we have all taken off our plate armor, what else do you want?"
At that time in Zul'Farrak, Li De wanted the Flying Golem to fly out with the four of them, but Noggenfogg refused to agree. But looking at the trolls coming again, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
.
After taking a few people into the air, Noggenfogg threw a few more bombs to break the back. However, after the golem took off, it seemed that it would not be able to fly!
After all, the standard load capacity of the Flying Golem is only one goblin, and what kind of small stature is the goblin? How could it possibly be able to withstand four heavily armed men?
Reluctantly, Li De and the other three could only take off their plate armor in distress. Not only the armor, but the five of them could be said to have thrown down everything they could. Noggenfogg also threw away all the external weapons on the golem.
If it weren't for the fact that the flight stabilized later, Li De would have almost reluctantly given up on the counterattacker Sansas.
"Hey! That cannibal idiot, can't you throw away that head? There's not much meat, and it's not enough for you to eat!"
During the flight, Noggenfogg cursed Angagagu in disgust, but Angagagu stubbornly shook his head.
"I must take Zumulaen's head back and present it to the leader."
Hearing what he said, Noggenfogg could only shake his head helplessly.
After flying for a few more minutes, the golem really couldn't hold on anymore. Fortunately, everyone had already crossed the mountain by this time, and Zul'Farrak was already on the other side of the mountain.
The five people landed on the ground. Before they could take a breath, they found that Ukozi had led his troops to chase Zul'Farrak!
As they were slowly climbing over the mountain, Ukozi had already mobilized his troops and vowed to kill them.
"Ouch! It's not over yet!"
Seeing Ukzi and his troops, Noggenfogg cursed angrily.
Ukozi covered his heart with a distorted expression. This was the pain caused to him by the backlash of the curse.
"Fire arrows! Shoot them to death!"
Just as Ukozi was about to give the order, Uzilu, who was responsible for searching nearby, ran over.
"Chief! A large number of enemies are approaching! It's...the traitors!"
"how so?!"
Ukoz roared angrily.
At the same time, two thousand sand trolls following Niebuhr, led by Trunuk, rushed over and joined the five-man team.
"Great, you idiots are finally here."
After experiencing the thrill just now, Noggenfogg looked at these trolls now and suddenly felt that they looked "cuter" than the hostile trolls opposite?
"Why are you here?"
Angegagu asked strangely, and Trunuk answered in a low voice.
"Shortly after you set off, the leader ordered me to bring someone to pick you up. I was actually a little worried about leaving the leader alone, but the leader was extremely resolute. He said that the god of the desert was protecting him. I think it makes sense.
, so he brought people here."
Li De was curious about what the two people were talking about, so he asked Nogfogg.
After listening to the goblin's translation, Li De seemed to be aware of Niebuhr's intention:
He was probably worried that the action of several people would fail, and that the trolls would fall out with the human territory after he died from the curse, so he forcibly ordered the tribesmen to leave the human territory to avoid possible tragic conflicts.
Thinking of this, Li De couldn't help but sigh that Niebuhr was serious. He would do this not only out of his piety to the "God of the Desert" but also out of his own rationality.
Li De became more determined to support Niebuhr. As long as his original intention remains unchanged, he should grow into a good leader.
When Angegaga heard his companion mention Niebuhr, he quickly took off the head from his waist.
"Look! Zumula'n's head! We succeeded! The leader's curse is lifted!"
This news was undoubtedly a boost among the trolls! The trolls who were on Niebuhr's side all cheered, and no one cared that Ukzi's face was getting worse and worse.
"show me!"
Trunuk stretched out his hand to take the head, but Unexpectedly, Angagagu dodged it and tied it back to his waist.
"I want to dedicate it to the leader with my own hands!"
Trunuk smiled and did not argue with him, but just bypassed him and saluted Li De.
"Great High Priest! What should we do next?"
He did not believe that his friend Hanhan killed Zumulaen himself. Now his respect for Reed was second only to Niebuhr, and he even used the prefix "great" before his title.
Noggenfogg was now looking forward to seeing Bigwitz as soon as possible so that he wouldn't have to be the unlucky translator.
"Everyone is on defense and we are preparing to evacuate slowly."
Li De was already very tired. At present, his opponent had gathered 3,000 troops, and he only had 2,000 troops. Moreover, there was really no need to fight this desert encounter.
Of course, the evacuation Li De mentioned was not an escape. Standing at the front of the team, Li De held the counterattacker Sansas high and roared with command.
The spines of these two thousand trolls crackled, their shoulders shuddered, and they grew about an inch taller out of thin air!
Seeing such a change in the opponent's troops, Wu Kezi's face had changed from bronze to pot color. At this time, he finally couldn't help the backlash of the curse and spit out a big mouthful of blood!
Zul'Farrak's trolls immediately became panicked, and Li De saw that his goal was achieved, and the opponent probably did not dare to attack easily, so he began to signal the team to retreat slowly.
The trolls on the opposite side all looked at Ukozi, waiting for him to give orders.
Ukoz Shading Fang wanted to bite it off, and finally spat out a few syllables in his mouth.
"retreat!"
The trolls of Zul'Farrak chose to retreat, and Ukozi stared at Li De's face with hatred, as if he wanted to remember this human who had caused him heavy losses.
But he won't know that this is the first time he will meet Li De in his remaining life, but it will also be the last time.
…
Returning to the territory full of victory, Li De was surprised to find that Niebuhr had recovered as well as ever.
After destroying the ritual, Niebuhr got rid of the curse and naturally recovered, but this was not the reason why Li De was surprised.
After Niebuhr recovered, he has been following Bigwitz in the territory. He took the trouble to ask the other party for advice, asking how to say this and that in common language. At the same time, he also curiously observed everything in the territory.
.
He was observing how Anderson fished, learning how to make rope, and asking how to make armor...
After seeing Li De returning with a large army, Niebuhr came over immediately.
Li De could see that the other party seemed to have a lot to say to him.
But before the two of them started talking, Angegagagu rushed out first, knelt down on one knee towards Niebuhr, and held Zumulaen's head in his hands.
"Chief, this is the head of the witch doctor. The murderer who cursed you is dead. Only Ukozi's head is left for you to pick up in person."
Niebuhr looked at his head seriously, then helped Angagagu up with both hands, and praised him without hesitation.
"You are the warrior of the sand trolls! I am proud of you! Thank you for everything you have done for me!"
Angagagu raised his head excitedly, and the other trolls also cheered for him.
Only Ander and Madin Lei curled their lips in disdain.
"Tch, it's like he killed this guy."
Li De didn't care. This was an internal matter within the trolls. Now Niebuhr could not get any rewards like himself, so there was nothing wrong with praising his subordinates. He was only curious about what Niebuhr would say to him later.
Sure enough, after praising and comforting his fellow tribesmen, Niebuhr ordered all the trolls to stand aside, and he walked towards Li De alone.
To everyone's surprise! Niebuhr knelt down on one knee towards Li De and hit his shoulder with his fist, just like Ange Gagu did just now.
"Praise you, great high priest! You gave Niebuhr Sandtop a new life! I beg you to be equally generous in giving new life to my people! Please accept my allegiance!"
Bigwitz, who was translating on the side, was stunned. He almost thought he heard wrongly. A troll was actually willing to be loyal to the human race?! And what was even more outrageous was that the two thousand trolls were just standing there, not a single one of them.
Stand up against it?!
At the same time, Li De also heard Eureka’s prompt:
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader, the leader of the sand trolls, Niebuhr Sandding, has offered to surrender. You will receive 2000 productivity points. Do you accept it?"
The 2,000 productivity points were the result of Li De’s 12 years of hard work!
Li De didn't know what changes would happen to Niebuhr if he chose to accept it, but he decisively chose "no".
Under everyone's incomprehensible eyes, Li De stepped forward and slowly helped Niebuhr.
Noggenfogg was stunned. He remembered the etiquette of the human race accepting allegiance. Didn't he put his sword on the opponent's shoulder? Why did Li De lift this troll?
"High Priest...you refuse my allegiance?"
Niebuhr looked at Li De blankly, and Li De smiled back.
"I'm sorry that I can't accept the allegiance of a troll chief. My relationship with the sand trolls is just like my relationship with the goblins. We have an equal exchange relationship."
Hearing Li De's explanation, Niebuhr let out a sigh of relief and then turned to joy. It turned out that the "high priest" did not look down on him, but was willing to communicate with him on an equal footing!
As for the trolls who were aggrieved because their leader was rejected, they all smiled again.
But the next moment everyone was stunned. They seemed to have missed something?
Troll Chief?!
Niebuhr felt that he could not speak smoothly, so he stumbled and asked.
"High... High Priest, did you just say 'Troll Chief'?"
"That's right, Nibel Sandtop, you are the real troll chief. Ukozi Sandtop now in Zul'Farrak is just a shameful rebel and a tyrant who should be overthrown!"
After going through so many things, no one here would question Li De's authority. After being personally certified by Li De, Niebuhr felt that he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Reed raised his hand to support Niebuhr's elbow, and extended his other hand to Nogfogg, who was watching the excitement.
Nogfogg then remembered the things Li De had agreed with him on the way back, and hurriedly operated the flying golem and walked over.
These are Li De's suggestions. Goblins themselves don't actually care about their height. But in this case, if the goblins appear to be particularly short, it will give people a bad hint.
"In Tanaris, humans, goblins and trolls will form the closest partners, and we will prosper together!"
As Li De said these words that would be regarded as legends in the future, all the races, goblins and trolls present cheered.
And just as this moment was announced, Eureka's voice sounded next to Li De's ears again.
"Ding~, congratulations to the leader for completing the diplomatic mission: declaring friendship with two races, and being rewarded with 200 productivity points."
Li De shook his head secretly in his heart. With one thought, 2000 turned into 200, a ten-fold difference, ten times!
