We followed Princess Niu Niu to the northernmost part of the city, where there was a large piece of land planted with dense saffron, more than half of which had withered, the leaves turned yellow, and the flowers drooped.
Dozens of tauren were working hard in the fields, some were sowing seeds, and some were carrying large wooden buckets to water the fields.
"Father!" Princess Niuniu walked up to Lauder and shouted enthusiastically.
Lauder looked surprised: "Hey, why are you here? The sun is rising in the west today?"
Chris walked up to him with a smile and said hello: "Chief Lauder."
Only then did Lauder notice Chris' arrival.
He couldn't wait to ask: "Chris, are you here to tell us to go to work?"
People working nearby all gathered their eyes, they already knew about this.
What a wonderful thing it would be to be able to go out for a walk without having to stay in this cage-like city all day long.
Chris looked solemnly and said: "Something has changed. Let's go and talk next to it."
Chris took Lauder to the shade of a tree, and the two sat cross-legged. Princess Niu Niu also followed.
"What's wrong?" Lauder was a little worried.
In the past few days, the tribesmen have been looking forward to getting out of the city to get some fresh air. If something went wrong at this juncture, everyone would be very uncomfortable.
"There is an evil black magician association that is about to attack my territory. We are about to have a war, so the development of the territory can only be delayed."
"This..." Lauder suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Princess Niu Niu's bright eyes lost their luster.
What Chris wants is this effect, to suppress before he wants to promote.
After waiting for a moment, he continued: "The black magician who captured you that day was from this organization, and the members of your tribe who disappear every year are most likely captured by them. So they are not only my enemies, but also your enemies. I
I would like to ask you, the tauren clan, to join forces with me to fight against each other. I will provide food and shelter."
Lauder scratched his hair, pinched a flea out of it, and strangled it with his fingernails. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I think so too, but it's easy to see blood on the battlefield. This will make us minotaurs
He is in a crazy state, so he needs a lot of saffron every day to maintain it."
Chris had already expected it and asked: "How much do you each need to consume every day? I will try my best to satisfy you."
Lauder stretched out a finger and said: "One hundred flowers, this is the minimum standard, it is best to have more than one hundred and twenty flowers."
"Because the medicinal effect of saffron only lasts for five or six minutes, we need to take it continuously."
Chris immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem!"
As long as the tauren clan can participate in the war, no matter how much it is paid, let alone just saffron without any cost.
However, the next few days may be hard for Linda.
Chris asked: "How many people in your tribe have awakened fighting spirit?"
"Thirty-four."
not bad.
"Let your people go back and pack their things and go to my city, Shuguang City, immediately. I will arrange a place for you there."
Lauder was a little embarrassed: "But the saffron here needs people to take care of it. It would be such a waste if they were all abandoned."
Chris thought for a while and said: "In this case, you leave some people and take away the rest. After the saffron harvest is good, let them come over and join together immediately."
"That's fine!"
Unlike the Rhinoceros, the Minotaur clan has a deep hatred for the Edmund Association, so there is no need for Chris to persuade them, they just need to ensure a sufficient amount of saffron.
Princess Niu Niu came over excitedly and said: "Chris, can I go to where you live? I heard that you human nobles all live in tall castles, but I have never seen it before."
Chris raised his head and glanced at her: "You don't have to go, stay and cultivate saffron."
"I don't know how." Princess Niu Niu blinked Bakazilan's big eyes, "The saffron I raised died batch after batch, and they all said I was the saffron killer."
"Then you do the laundry and cooking, and take care of other people's food and daily life."
"That's not true." Princess Niu Niu curled her lips, "I once ruined eight pieces of clothes and cooked three pots of rice."
"Then what do you know?"
Princess Niu Niu patted her chest: "I know how to eat. There is never any leftover food in my family."
After all, you are a loser.
Chris's face was full of black lines: "Then tell me, why do I spend a hundred saffrons a day to hire you to go to the territory?"
"I can help you eat the leftovers. I can eat any meal no matter how unpleasant it is."
"No, please don't." Chris waved his hands repeatedly.
Linda’s small rice pail is enough at home, but you want a bigger one?
Absolutely not!
Lauder came over to smooth things over: "Take her with you. I'm not worried about leaving her alone at home. You don't have to give her a hundred saffrons, just don't let her go to the battlefield."
Chris responded: "Okay, then you have to keep an eye on her and don't let her run around in my city."
Patriarch Laud’s face must still be given.
Hearing this, Princess Niu Niu immediately cheered and said, "Father, let's go back and pack our luggage quickly."
Princess Niu Niu almost dragged Laud back home. She couldn't wait to fly to Chris' city right away.
Chris pinched his eyebrows, hoping that this girl wouldn't cause me any trouble.
"Chief Lauder, after you have gathered the clan members, go out of the city gate and go south. I will send someone to pick you up." Chris said to the busy Lauder, and at the same time handed over a space ring, "Here
There are 100,000 saffron flowers and some grain left for you to use on your journey."
Lauder took the ring and agreed: "Okay!"
After bidding farewell to Lauder, Chris walked out of the Tauren City.
Now, he feels much more relaxed.
In the original territory, the only real fighting strength was Chris, Tina, Linda, Jonathan, plus Shiloh and the other four knights, a total of only eight people.
There is a big gap between them and the Edmund Association in terms of quantity and level.
The biggest reason was that the war came too suddenly and Chris was not given time to prepare.
Now with the help of the two major ethnic groups, we have more confidence to fight against the Edmund Association.
······
Chris returns to Dawn City.
Thousands of local residents, carrying hoes, shovels and other tools, formed a square formation and stood ready under the south gate.
Chris ordered: "Jonathan, ask Shiloh to take some people to wait at the north gate. If the rhino and tauren tribes arrive, open the city gate to let them in and arrange accommodation for them."
