"They may have the idea to get out of this magical forest and see the outside world, but before the beast tide ends, the tribe's survival situation is worrying."
The indigenous elder frowned, but his voice was unusually calm. He looked like an old magician.
He held the black wooden staff tightly in his hand, stood up from the chair, glanced wisely at the young indigenous warrior beside him, and continued to say to Surdak:
"We need more warriors to protect the tribe, so I can't promise you."
The indigenous elders did not agree to let the young indigenous people accept Surdak's employment.
In fact, he also had other thoughts in his mind: he needed more indigenous warriors to consolidate his power in order to firmly rule the entire indigenous tribe.
Every indigenous warrior is his wealth, and he does not dare to let these young people enter the civilized world, because when he was young, he seemed to have been to Wilkes City and seen the prosperity there and the powerful Green Empire.
How people expanded their land.
In addition, in the past few years, some slave-catching groups have gathered in the town of Dodan, and they have hunted and killed local indigenous people in the Invercargill Monster Forest.
Many natives are full of hatred for the imperial people, and this hatred in their hearts will not be eliminated overnight.
Surdak just asked casually, and when the indigenous elder directly refused, he said nothing more.
"Then continue our previous transaction. If you have any needs, you can come to me in Dodan Town. I can guarantee the personal safety of the Dakuni tribe warriors. These magic herbs, magic beast leather, and magic cores can be brought to Dodan Town.
Dan Town in exchange for what you need, I will live over there at the military camp." Suldak said to the indigenous elder.
He patted the two herbal baskets beside him and felt that the leaves on the dried herbal rhizomes inside seemed to be constantly falling off.
He quickly stopped.
Although these herbs are not valuable in the eyes of this group of local indigenous people, they are definitely the most sought-after magical supplies in the Green Empire.
The great Aboriginal elder sat back on the chair, and the young Aboriginal man lifted him up. He held a black wooden cane in his hand.
Said to Surdak: "This is okay, I don't know how long this beast tide will last, a few months or more... We need more material reserves. When we have the harvest of magic herbs, I will let the tribe
The warriors here will be sent to you to exchange for some more weapons and living supplies."
Surdak held the hilt of the blood-red crescent sword with one hand, flipped onto his horse lightly, knocked his chest with his fist, and said to the indigenous elder:
"Okay, it's settled. I wish us a happy cooperation next time."
Seeing the indigenous tribesmen disappearing into the dense forest at the mouth of the Dodan Canyon, Suldak took all the cavalry on their way back. The road back was not easy either. There were now several large groups of monsters gathered in the canyon.
With the strength of the cavalry squadron, it is currently not capable of hunting these beasts.
Sami pulled the horse's reins and came to Suldak's side, whispering in his ear:
"How about I follow them and see where the passage through the thorns and stones is?"
Surdak hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Forget it, we don't need to hide there, let them keep some secrets, otherwise they may move elsewhere once they lose their sense of security."
Samira curled her lips in disapproval and said:
"Where else could they go?"
Surdak looked at the Invercargill Warcraft Forest in the distance, followed the cavalry team into the Dodan Canyon, turned to stare at Samira, and asked her:
"Do you think these indigenous tribes lived in the Warcraft Forest before?"
Without waiting for Samira to answer, Surdak sighed softly and said:
"They only hide in the Invercargill Monster Forest because our land continues to expand."
Surdak smiled helplessly and said:
"They are neither willing to surrender nor change their original way of life, so their living space can only be continuously compressed by us. Now they are hiding in the World of Warcraft Forest and can barely survive. Although life is a little more difficult, it is not yet
Into despair.”
He pointed to the Warcraft Forest on the other side of the hilly land and said:
"We can't even count how many indigenous tribes like Dakuni there are in the Fukagir Warcraft Forest. If they feel that they can no longer survive, other than continuing to migrate, the only other way is to fight to the death against us...
This is not what we want. Although we have an extremely powerful Constructed Knights, I think their journey should be to the stars and the sea."
"So I think that if you want to occupy a plane, you don't need to drive away the indigenous people here, but to assimilate them to the greatest extent, let them get used to our way of life, let them understand our civilization, come into contact with our food, and accept
our beliefs and endorsement of the ideals we pursue.”
After saying this, Suldak wanted to ride his horse and rush to the front of the team.
Samira whipped the horse's buttocks with a riding crop, followed, and continued to ask:
"Like Wozhimara City?"
Surdak shook his head and said:
"Wozhimala City is not doing very well in this regard. They need to have a higher sense of identity with the local aborigines."
Samira looked at Suldak blankly.
Suldak smiled and continued to explain: "The sense of identity I am talking about is not the usual superior pity and charity to the weak, but equality in the true sense."
"..."
Samira used her light red eyes to focus on the knight in front of her who was riding quickly to the front of the team. She pulled the reins of the horse and stood there in a daze.
"I didn't expect him to think so."
Samira exhaled and felt that the Duodan Canyon in front of her had become much wider.
Andrew caught up from behind, and when passing by Samira, he said: "You have been following him for so long, haven't you felt that he has been doing this all along?"
Looking at Andrew's back, the half-elf archer whispered:
"I'm not a native of the Nanai tribe, how can I feel like this!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but smile, waved the riding crop in her hand and chased after him.
This half-elf girl has a breathtakingly beautiful smile, so much so that she always wears a hood and is unwilling to show her true face.
Riding on a horse and galloping, the breeze blows on your face.
Unknowingly, she took off the silk hood on her head, revealing her silky blond hair flying in the wind...
…
The beasts in the Warcraft Forest want to avoid the ghost-striped red ants. With the memories imprinted in their lives, they want to migrate south. However, the Dodan Canyon passage is blocked by the Green Empire people with a high wall. All the beasts
The group is crowded in the narrow Dodan Canyon.
Now some groups of monsters are entering the canyon one after another, making the Duodan Canyon, which has always been very peaceful, look overcrowded.
The residents of the town have two completely different views on this beast tide. Many immigrants from the empire do not want to continue living here.
They were worried that once the wall failed to stop the monsters outside, everyone in the town would become food for the monsters.
They just come here to do some small business and make their lives more prosperous.
I didn’t come here to die, so these days, some shops have closed one after another, and many businessmen have left Duodan Town.
On the contrary, the vast majority of indigenous people choose to continue to live here. In fact, they have nowhere to go.
Although they had almost nothing, they at least had a wooden house to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and family and friends who were willing to hug each other for warmth. There were half a bag of grains in the kitchen, and when they opened the window, they could still see clothes hanging to dry.
A string of rex rabbits on a rope.
The nobles hope that Wilkes's military headquarters can send more troops. They don't want the industry here to be reduced to nothing overnight.
In recent days, Andrew has led the cavalry battalion to hunt in the Dodan Gorge.
As more monsters poured into the Duodan Canyon, the types of monsters hunted became more abundant, but the area of activity was continuously compressed, gradually only within a few kilometers outside the north city wall.
Once you encounter a large group of monsters rushing towards you, quickly move closer to the north wall.
As long as you run within the range of the bed crossbow, you will be safe. If a group of monsters rushes up, the bed crossbow on the city wall will kill you without mercy from the longest distance.
Of course, the prey thus obtained also belongs to the city defense guard brigade.
These bed crossbows are manufactured by the Imperial Capital Ordnance Workshop of the Green Empire. Usually, a bed crossbow cart is roughly divided into three parts: base, tilting frame, and crossbow body.
The base is a heavy-duty four-wheeled flatbed truck, mainly used to carry the tilting frame and crossbow body.
Generally, craftsmen will inlay magic rune boards such as 'Sturdiness' and 'Wind Control' on the axle at the lower part of the base to make the entire bed crossbow more sturdy and durable and save effort when towing.
The tilting frame is the control system of the crossbow. This part has two winches that control left and right rotation and up and down rotation.
The crossbow body is the most important part of a bed crossbow, and the magic crossbow arm is the most valuable component of a bed crossbow. The arrow guide slot in the middle can place giant crossbow arrows up to three meters long.
A bed crossbow is usually operated jointly by two soldiers, and one of the soldiers needs to constantly adjust the shooting angle of the bed crossbow.
Another soldier stood on the seat behind the crossbow body, responsible for using the winch to pull the bowstring of the crossbow, and using words to guide the soldiers below to adjust the shooting angle.
The soldier who performs targeted shooting also needs to have a good foundation in archery.
Recently, the soldiers of the city defense brigade have to take turns manipulating the bed crossbows every day to kill the monsters attracted by the cavalry, so that their accuracy in manipulating the bed crossbows has been significantly improved.
Many Warcraft have rudimentary intelligence and will not rush into the range of the crossbows on the northern city wall. Only some greedy and bloodthirsty Moon Blade Fire Wolves will follow the cavalry and try to bite off a large piece of meat from the cavalry.
In the past few days, Surdak, Andrew, Samira and Gulitem have all taken turns leading the cavalry out of the northern city wall to hunt down the monsters in the canyon.
Surdak stood on the city wall. In the distance, a group of cavalry stepped across the grassland in front of the canyon, kicking up a cloud of dust behind them.
The vegetation here has been eaten by the herbivores until the loess layer is exposed. A large group of magical beasts are chasing after them from behind. In addition to a large group of moon blade fire wolves and maned beasts, there are also several tall beasts in the herd.
A black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros, followed by three slow-moving subway-backed bears.
There was a sound of a winch turning from the city wall. Suldak held his hands on the wall stacks and said to Andrew next to him: "Why did it attract so many?"
Andrew was also a little surprised. He quickly picked up the butcher's battle ax and quickly ran down the city wall, preparing to bring back the cavalry outside the city.
On the canyon grassland below the city wall, you can still hear the shouts from Gulitem, and I don’t know how excited he is in his heart...
Samira stared at the beasts that were gradually entering the shooting range. When she saw the cavalry running into a safe distance, she ordered: "Shoot!"
Suddenly, a row of thirty-five giant crossbow arrows flew straight out from the top of the city with a buzzing sound. These giant crossbow arrows instantly crossed a distance of nearly one thousand meters. The huge crossbow arrows killed the row of Moon Blade Fire Wolves in front of them.
Nailed to the ground.
The remaining demonic beasts were inspired with ferocity and continued to rush forward past these giant crossbow arrows.
The pair of cavalry quickly gathered under the city wall and passed through the narrow doorway of the northern city wall. Gulitem followed the team at the back, carrying an unconscious cavalryman under his arm.
While running, the cavalry's horse accidentally stepped on its front legs into a rabbit nest dug by a rex rabbit.
The horse's leg was broken directly, and the knight was thrown off the horse, fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
If Gulitem hadn't grabbed him from the ground at the critical moment, he would have been torn to pieces by the group of monsters behind him.
Now that he was still breathing, Andrew was the last one to run into the city gate, and the city defense guard lowered the iron fence almost against Andrew's back.
Just like this, several moon blade fire wolves that were biting behind him also took the opportunity to rush in, but blocked other monsters outside the iron fence. A large group of veterans wearing full-cover metal armor held spears in their hands.
, rushed up from both sides, and cooperated with Gulitem who stopped, stabbing the Moon Blade Fire Wolves that rushed in one after another to death.
There is only so much space in the city gate, and even if the bodies of these moon blade fire wolves are flexible, they cannot avoid these spears.
However, the monsters outside the fence sprayed out flaming knives through the iron fence towards the city gate hole. A row of veterans quickly raised their shields to block this wave of magic, and a group of people quickly withdrew from the city gate hole.
.
The city guards on the city wall drew their alloy bows to full capacity, and the cavalry on the city wall held standard crossbows with five consecutive shots and fired a hail of arrows.
The monsters gathered under the city just left in embarrassment with their tails between their legs.
Andrew ran to the bottom of the city with an angry look on his face and asked the cavalry squadron leader who looked like he was going to survive a disaster: "What's going on? You're even dying?"
The cavalry squadron captain didn't say anything, and Andrew knew that the trouble was probably caused by the ogre Gulitem. Gulitem was also a bachelor and didn't defend himself at all. He just smiled "hehe" at Andrew.
