Going all the way down the road, Lawrence and the others didn't find much related to ancient civilization. If they were forced to say it, there were only two small buildings in the middle of the road that were probably left by that ancient civilization.
However, due to the passage of time, those two small buildings became a pile of ruins.
However, as Lawrence and the others gradually deepened their exchanges with the Tauren, the Tauren used the stones and foundations left on the two ruins to build two small fortifications to protect this important road to them.
Trade Road. Just now, Lawrence saw that each of the newly repaired outposts had a team of five or six tauren stationed there.
It can be seen that Lan Hua, as a shaman, has a relatively high status among the tauren, and is quite respected by others. Because when everyone passes in front of those outposts, the tauren standing guard at the outpost gate will raise their weapons.
Salute to the orchid.
Lawrence noticed that this group of tauren were armed to the teeth. They wore rough breastplates made of iron plates, and held a huge ax or a mace reinforced with a large amount of metal in their hands. They also carried it on their backs.
The heavy javelin with a bundle of cast steel heads looks like a steel fortress.
All these weapons were purchased from Lawrence. Of course, they were not standard equipment, but were all improvised by the small repair shop using the tools and materials on hand. After all, armor is hard to find in this era.
Not to mention that the tauren cannot wear human armor at all, nor can they use human weapons.
However, as a true fighting race, the Tauren, who have always used various stone and wooden tools, showed a special desire after seeing the large amount of steel in the human world. Therefore, after the Tauren worked, they expressed their hope to use the steel they obtained.
Salary to obtain weapons.
But because they couldn't find any off-the-shelf armor or weapons suitable for the size of the Minotaur, Lawrence and the others had to start their own work and use the steel bars and steel plates sent to the island to temporarily manufacture a batch of weapons after learning about the Minotaur's needs. Good.
The minotaurs were very satisfied with the temporary products, and there were no accidents.
According to the results of Lawrence's previous inquiries about the tauren, their ancestors had also obtained a number of very useful metal tools and weapons in their previous interactions with humans. Unfortunately, after humans evacuated this land, their source of metals was cut off.
, and there were no metal mines there, so after that batch of metal items were consumed, they returned to the era of using stone tools, wood tools, and bone tools.
Therefore, after regaining contact with humans and obtaining various metal tools and weapons, these tauren armed their hunters and guards as quickly as possible, and the sentinels that Lawrence saw on the roadside now
The weapons were bought by the tauren who worked in the ports and farms.
"In addition to these things, I also customized a batch of firearms for you." After saying hello to a tauren in a post and walking forward, Lawrence said to Lanhua, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will be ready next month."
It will be sent over on the ship from the White Eagle Federation."
The Minotaurs had previously expressed their request to order firearms from Lawrence, and Lawrence naturally agreed to them. Unlike the safe world in his previous life, there were too many dangerous creatures in the wilds of this world, so ordinary people holding guns were not motivated by politics.
It is correct or legal, but something that must be done in order to survive.
However, after trying the current human firearms, the group of tauren found that the largest human muskets on the island were not suitable for them to use. For example, they could only reluctantly put their fingers into the largest human muskets.
The trigger guard of the rifle is in the trigger guard of the rifle, but if the gun is moved even slightly, it will directly go off.
Moreover, the caliber of firearms commonly used by humans is too small for the tauren. The tauren hope to obtain weapons with larger caliber. Seeing that they will be their future allies, Lawrence specially purchased one through his own weapons factory.
A batch of large single-shot rifles modified from 23mm small-caliber rapid-fire gun halls.
At first, Lawrence thought that such a modification might require a lot of money and effort, but later the dwarf Eugene, the director of the arms factory, told him that although such modifications were rare, they were definitely not uncommon because there were many extraordinary people and some special ones.
All races have a demand for such large-caliber weapons. Therefore, after everyone's research, the difficulty of this modification work can be said to be very low. The reason why Lawrence had not heard of it before is because most people do not modify it in this way.
So after getting a positive answer, Lawrence sent a telegram to commission him to make a batch of such weapons and send them over. However, due to the small batch production, you have to wait for a while to get it. This is why now
This is because the minotaurs only have cold weapons.
However, these cold weapons were enough for the tauren to easily crush the scattered goblins around. According to the tauren at the outpost just now, they only sent five fully armed tauren and easily crushed a group of 30 goblins.
left and right groups of goblins, and then chopped off the heads of 25 of them.
Because of the tauren guarding the outpost and the tauren patrol team that regularly patrols along the road, this road is as safe as a tree-lined path in the city. Taking this opportunity, everyone also enjoyed it.
A beautiful scene in the tropical rainforest.
The golden sunlight shining on the ground in a column shape through the gaps in the leaves and the calls of various birds in the forest made everyone present feel the beautiful side of nature, not to mention the scent of green grass and earth in the jungle.
The fresh air made everyone in the team feel that the fatigue from the previous trip had been swept away.
"It's a pity that jungle tourism is not popular in this era, otherwise this place would definitely be a good place to travel." Looking at the beautiful tropical rainforests on both sides of the road that could be placed in National Geographic in his previous life by just taking a few photos, Lawrence thought silently in his heart.
"In my previous life, I would have spent at least 300 to 400 yuan a day to travel around a place like this."
"By the way, it should be better if you put a little of this on your temples and under your nose. After all, it's still a little too humid in the forest." Hearing the breathing of some people in the mission getting louder and louder, Lanhua stopped and took a breath from her waist.
He took out a wooden jar and handed it over.
Unscrewing the lid of the jar, Lawrence found that most of the jar was filled with emerald green transparent ointment. He stirred up a little with his fingers and applied it to his temples and under his nose. He immediately felt a cooling sensation in the area where he applied it, and then this refreshing feeling.
It slowly spread to the whole body, and the dampness and heat around me seemed to have left me, and it felt like a cool breeze was blowing on my face.
"The effect is very good." Lawrence handed the jar to other members of the mission and said to Orchid. "Is this ointment a magic potion?"
"It is indeed a kind of magic potion that can only be made by us shamans by casting spells." Lanhua said, "However, there is a weakened version of this potion circulating in the tribe that can be made without any magic, and the output is still high.
Not small."
"That's good." Hearing that there is a version that can produce energy without using magic, Lawrence nodded with satisfaction. In any case, the most important thing he came here this time was to help this group of tauren find a way to grow with humans.
Time trade stuff, and this potion meets his requirements very well.
After everyone applied the medicine and drank some water, they continued to move forward. Ten minutes later, Orchid, who was leading the way, turned around a small hill and shouted loudly: "Okay, everyone, hold on a little longer. Now I'm done."
If you see the tribe, you can get there right away."
