Even if he did not consider the external factors of coming to the Lizardman tribe and discovering some of the other party's little tricks, Liu Yifei's original consideration was that he would be sure to cooperate with the Lizardman tribe in the west to produce food. The reason was that
The preciousness of "food and flour" things in Taitalia!
"Invincible Heroes: War World" restores a huge and complex magical world, in which the civilization level, living standards, cultural customs, etc. of all ethnic groups are similar, so of course it also triggers changes in people's livelihood, military and other aspects.
For example, in Erathia, grains and noodles are the staple food, followed by meat as a supplement, followed by melons and fruits.
In Eli, fruits and meat are the main food consumed by the barrier forces, and rice and noodles are just "snacks".
Although the living habits of the lizard people in Taitalia are not as "anti-human" as those of demons and dark creatures, many consumables in the human world have become luxuries due to production problems. Typical representatives of them are
It’s “rice grain”!
The real staple food of the lizard people is fish, and the supplementary food is the meat of other animals and some vegetables that are easy to find in swamp environments. Rice cakes, bread, etc. made from grains and noodles are only enjoyed by big businessmen and the rich in Taitalia.
Affordable luxuries, even in history, there were many bloody conflicts between tribes due to the import quota of these things...
Liu Yifei knew very well about these general direction settings, so he didn't worry about his plan being shot down at all. Anyway, the lizardmen didn't need to work hard on their own, so it was almost a good thing to make money.
...How many people in this world would refuse?
But such a good thing of "win-win cooperation" was declined by the "tongueless" old witch doctor on the other side... To be honest, when the other party politely expressed his refusal, Liu Yifei's eyes were really dangerous.
Narrowed his eyes...
Compared with when he first came here, Liu Yifei's mobile elite combat power is definitely countless times stronger now! They even have a certain air-to-ground long-range crushing advantage!
For the original small peripheral tribe of lizard people, he is now absolutely a god-like existence, one or two dozen... Note, it is not "a lizard man", but "a tribe of lizard men"! That's all easy.
of ~
If it weren't for the fact that he was not a murderous person in his heart, Liu Yifei would have really wanted to see what kind of trump card the old witch doctor opposite him had, and he would dare to deny himself face like this two or three times...
Liu Yifei, who was finally unable to issue a battle order, paused and tried again: "...Mr. Witch Doctor, if you and your tribe members really feel that you are unable to do anything...then how about you help contact other surrounding lizard tribes?"
?
If you are willing to come forward and help me with this matter, I am willing to give you half of the net profit from the harvest as a reward every time I harvest food. After all, if you and your tribe want to expand your tribe and improve your strength, you will inevitably
You will need more food reserves, right?"
Liu Yifei was really not sure what the lizard witch doctors across from him were thinking. They wouldn't accept the benefits brought to their doorstep...or maybe there was something in their territory that they didn't want to be discovered by outsiders, so they didn't want to wait for others.
come over?
This was the best that Liu Yifei could imagine, so he could only lower his requirements again. Instead, he only needed the old witch doctor and his tribe to come forward to help contact him and act as a "broker". Liu Yifei would give him a sum of money.
The share is considered as a thank you gift...
The relatively primitive social civilization of the lizard people is very repulsive towards "outsiders", let alone "foreigners".
If an outsider with whom they had no previous connections suddenly breaks into their traditional sphere of influence, there is a 99% chance that it will only trigger a fight!
This is why many of Erathia, Taitalia, and Crurod's distant merchant trade are "family-style", because those merchant families have difficulty in establishing relationships with the locals in a certain area of the alien race for various reasons.
After connecting to the line, they will not easily introduce others to them, and the exclusivity of the local indigenous people naturally adds an insurance to their trade advantage, giving them a relatively fixed trade base, which in turn gave birth to each one.
Specialized across trading families...
Liu Yifei's current food shortage is getting more and more serious, and the surrounding area of Onuma Lake is a relatively more ideal production area (mainly because the land here is more fertile, and it is not within the scope of the undead's war radiation, and at most there is only some transportation trouble).
The only thing he wants to do right now is to get more land for growing grain as quickly as possible. At this time, it is obviously more appropriate for an outsider to step in than to let the old witch doctor help as a "middleman".
Even if he has to endure more food output in the long term...
Liu Yifei thought that the new plan he proposed was generous enough, but for some reason the old lizard man opposite him rejected it without much hesitation!
this……
Could it be that this old guy is so confused that he doesn’t understand what he is talking about?!
That’s “rice grain”!!!
It is a hard-to-trade item that definitely falls into the category of luxury goods in Taitalia! It’s something that you can easily sell if you take it out!
Liu Yifei couldn't even ask for this kind of good thing, which was like money falling from the sky. This guy actually refused his kindness again and again??
At first, Liu Yifei even thought that he was hallucinating... But soon Liu Yifei realized the greatest possibility - that is, the old lizard man opposite was really planning something secretly with his tribe!!
Thinking about it from his perspective, Liu Yifei felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to refuse the current "deal" anyway. This was not only because the matter in front of him seemed to be of great benefit to the lizard people, but more importantly,
The problem is that the "quasi-partners" are too powerful...
Don’t forget, on the continent of Entagri, the more primitive, bloody, and cruel competition for survival between different intelligent species has not subsided far from it. At least in the history of the nearly ten thousand years since the founding of Erathia, the competition for survival among different intelligent species has not subsided.
Conflicts often broke out between Lacia and Taitaglia.
Facing a group of alien humans who can only be said to have "met a few times", despite repeated courtesy and concessions from the other party, one side firmly rejected the other's proposal...
He is not meowing to stand firm and principled, but he is meowing to seek death!!
Believe it or not, if the other party's attitude is firm enough, they can even draw a knife and kill someone if they don't agree with each other?!
In fact, just now, Liu Yifei had some terrible thoughts flashing through his heart because of the other party's "rejection".
After all, the other party's superficial strength is weak, and I really don't want to waste more time...
At this time, even if you are just "compromising", or you have discovered the terrible conspiracy behind the other party's superficial actions, you must hold your nose and deal with it, for fear that the other party will really become angry!
Liu Yifei was very sure that if he repeatedly rejected the opponent forcefully, either he actually had a powerful hidden card and was not afraid of the opponent turning against him...or...he actually had no choice at all~
As for the lizardmen facing him, Liu Yifei definitely didn't believe it, so the only thing left might be...
"Your Excellency, Witch Doctor, are you worried that because of this matter, you and your tribe will be exposed too much, causing some trouble, or... attracting more attention from others?
In fact, if you have any concerns about self-protection, you can definitely talk to us if you need anything~
As I said when I came here last time, we actually have some "development" ideas for the Onuma Lake area, and we really want to have more in-depth cooperation with your tribe!
As a partner, I am always willing to contribute and help~
You may not know that not long ago, these friends from Eli who have established diplomatic relations with me encountered some minor troubles...
Oh, these poor people of nature, with their good intentions of loving peace and helping friends, wanted to help me, but they were targeted by an evil and despicable legendary undead wizard.
That guy sneak attacked the elves' camp, even disturbed the sleep of countless kings there, and even gave birth to three terrifying undead dragons in one breath...
Do you know about the Undead Dragon? It is a legendary level war beast comparable to your Taitalia [Nydra]!!
Three monsters like that suddenly emerged from under the feet... Oh, what a nightmare~
Although these friends of mine have encountered catastrophe, how can I, as their friend, turn a blind eye?
So I took my men and more friends to rescue the elves who came from afar!
It was an arduous battle, and even hundreds of my powerful subordinates were completely destroyed in that battle... However, the powerful undead wizard was injured and repelled by us, and even the undead dragon was killed by us! Others!
All conspiracies and legions of the undead were shattered one by one...
We humans, or at least I, and my subordinates, are friendly and enthusiastic towards any friends! And for those enemies, or existences with malicious intentions towards us, I, my subordinates, and friends will never
Sit back and watch you suffer alone!
So, Your Excellency Witch Doctor, please think carefully about my proposal.
Please believe that the attitude and strength of the force I represent will never make you regret this cooperation..."
Liu Yifei's "idea" was sincere, but in this seemingly silent "communication", the strong threat was also revealed without any concealment.
Liu Yifei's statement actually only really means one thing: We are friends, so I can help you! However, if you are an "enemy", don't blame me for hurting you...
This time, perhaps Liu Yifei finally tore off his previous pretense of hypocrisy and kindness, and finally made the old witch doctor's attitude waver, and for the first time expressed his willingness to "discuss" with his tribe.
Oh, discuss?
Do you really think that he, Liu Yifei, is just a kid who just comes out to fool around without knowing anything?
The social form of the Lizardman tribe is still a primitive tribal system. Among them, the patriarch, witch doctor and the like have absolute dominance over the entire tribe. This situation is more obvious in the smaller the tribal group, because most of the time
, the patriarch, the witch doctor and the like themselves are the most powerful beings in this closed group.
Since when did the lizard tribe learn "democratic discussion"?
However, Liu Yifei still tolerated the other party at this time, indicating that the other party could go back and discuss with the other lizard people... As soon as he turned his head, Liu Yifei turned back to the elf life messenger beside him and said: "Send someone secretly
Riding Pegasus, retreat far away, and then circle back to observe the lizard man's stronghold, and try to find out what is going on with that abnormal vitality fluctuation..."
Liu Yifei's whispered orders were obviously somewhat unexpected by these elf druids who were almost "believers".
Although they didn't quite understand what Liu Yifei and the old lizard man across from him were staring at each other for a long time... But since they didn't draw their swords at each other, they must be friendly forces who know each other, right? Why did they suddenly want to touch each other?
Is it at the bottom?
It's just that the elves were doubtful. During the military operation, the "sir"'s orders were still carried out very thoroughly. At the end of the team, an inconspicuous member of the Falling Queen quietly retreated and tried to take a detour.
Investigate...
The subsequent "negotiations" between the two parties seemed a bit helpless. Although the old witch doctor finally agreed to Liu Yifei's request, he firmly stated that their tribe would only help find some suitable places for Liu Yifei outside the settlement.
They were able to carve out some "food areas", and inside the opponent's stronghold, Liu Yifei had to promise that he would never enter without permission, and that he would give them full respect and so on~
In short, to put it bluntly, I just want to find another place for you to farm. Don’t even think about my own home...
Although Liu Yifei agreed to the old witch doctor's conditions, his curiosity was aroused by the other party in his heart - this was almost a straightforward statement that my family was really messy and no one else was welcome to disturb him.
Liu Yifei is really strange. A small tribe that was driven to the outermost and most remote corner of his sphere of influence, leaving only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people. Generally speaking, this kind of lizardman group will either disappear in a short time.
If they internally decline and disappear, they will either choose a suitable tribe of the same race to "merge", otherwise they may have problems even continuing to survive and reproduce.
Such a group of "quasi-dead people" actually want to cause trouble...
What are you doing? Do you want to make big news by rubbing an atomic bomb in a mountain valley without electricity?
But what Liu Yifei never expected was...
He was just having random thoughts "when the mood struck", and he actually "guessed" it right!!
The old witch doctor was indeed the most powerful being in the crippled little tribe opposite. However, even so, in order to deal with Liu Yifei, it had to come forward in person, and even brought most of the "combatable people" in the tribe to serve as
Guard of honor.
As a result, the lizard tribe's defenses in other directions in the primeval forest were almost completely eliminated.
Under Liu Yifei's deliberate delay, the elf life messenger who went out to investigate easily learned about the strange situation in the other tribe: for some unknown reason, this group of lizard people actually "restrained" four of them in the "pond" in the tribe.
[Monitor Lizard], and it seems that it is feeding them a large amount of fish and draining their blood at the same time...
"...What? Feeding four [monitor lizards] and draining their blood?!"
Liu Yifei was really surprised now~
As a veteran of the game in his previous life, he certainly knew a lot about "historical events", "game settings", "career training", etc., but he also had little knowledge of the secrets that happened in various places in the game world at the same time.
It is impossible to be omniscient and omnipotent - even if it is far away, even if he has tried hard so far, he has not found any trace of Brother Sandro, so we can know that Liu Yifei's "control" over the surrounding things can only be said to be average.
And this "rare thing" in front of him once again aroused Liu Yifei's curiosity!
[Monitor Lizard] is a fourth-level war beast commonly used in Taitalia's army. It has a large group size and strong individual strength, and the [Beast Tamer] profession often produced by the lizard people can also form a powerful alliance with these swamp war beasts.
The battle group gave Taitalia a huge "military battle beast" group~
If he still understands that a small tribe of lizardmen consisting of only a few dozen old, weak and disabled people can "raise" [Giant Flies] or [Dragon Flies] as combat beasts to help them, then raise four [Giant Lizards]
That is simply impossible!
The daily meat requirement of a monitor lizard is at least the standard of four or five regular lizardmen warriors. If it is replaced by ordinary lizardmen civilians... the ration of a monitor lizard is even enough to feed a small tribe of twenty lizardmen!
These "lizard warriors" who can come out to support the scene... Let's just call them warriors. They are all poorly armed and thin. They don't look like they can eat well or train enough. They are so poor.
The tribe can still afford four [Monitor Lizards]?!
If one day they don't have enough to feed the [monitor lizard], the monitor lizard may eat them directly to fill its stomach. Why bleed the [monitor lizard]?
Liu Yifei had never heard of this in his previous life... You can try asking Erathia's cavalry to draw blood on their mounts~
Even if the cavalry are willing to take the sword, you have to ask the horses themselves if they are willing.
What kind of war horses, war beasts and the like, are fundamentally different from ordinary mules, horses and livestock! In addition to their strong physical strength, if their character is not wild enough and aggressive, they will be paralyzed by fear on the battlefield.
ah?
Do you want such a being to bleed you honestly without turning back to bite your master...
Hiss~~~
These indigenous lizard people actually made "atomic bombs" with their hands?
Liu Yifei, whose interest was suddenly aroused, didn't even bother to pretend to "hide" on the surface, and actually went back with his troops, hoping to discuss the other party's "technical details" with the old witch doctor.
Because in fact, Liu Yifei still has a great need for the technology to quietly bleed some powerful "ferocious beasts", even urgently...
