Chapter 156: One week later, set off for Loran City

On the morning of the 20th, Li Er got up and sent someone to retrieve the golden rose.

The other pieces of intelligence could not be completed so easily.

When the flower garden had a touch of color, he called Isani and asked her to arrange for some night elves to guard the exit of the underground passage.

After the Song Clan received the attention of the Night Elves God, their power soared. It would not be long before they would appear on the surface for the second time.

He did not have much energy to put underground now, so he could only be on guard.

The intelligence did not give the time when the other party would invade the surface again, but after losing thousands of troops, the other party would most likely not set foot on the surface again in a short time.

If it were him, he would also be more vigilant and send spies to determine the specific situation before making a decision.

It is impossible to grow and develop in such a dangerous place as underground life without a little vigilance.

However, in order to prevent any eventuality, we still need to set up control here.

There is no need for many, a small team of night elves is enough.

To be on the safe side, Li Er asked them to bring hundreds of scarlet wasps to transmit intelligence at critical moments.

After making the arrangements here, Li Er immediately thought of the night elves of the Song Clan who were captured two days ago.

This is more than 5 squadrons!

If all of them are enslaved, the long-range power of the City of Wisdom can be formed immediately.

The scale of hundreds of people is completely different from that of six or seven hundred people.

After gaining authority, the soul is already strong and it is easy to enslave hundreds of people.

After knowing Li Er's attitude, Yishani was very excited.

Her heart was full of expectations.

The expansion of the number of night elves means that they will gradually become an important force in the City of Wisdom.

This is a major benefit for the status of the night elves.

After Li Er brought out all the captives, he was too lazy to preach. The divine nature was running, and the majestic power in his body surged out.

He directly devoured the night elves in front of him with the most domineering attitude.

Forcefully penetrate the opponent's soul defense line, leaving an indelible mark in their soul.

In just a moment, these 560 captives were transformed into his subordinates!

The hatred in their eyes disappeared without a trace, and their eyes became close and respectful.

While Li Er had people untie their restraints, he looked at Isani.

"These night elves will be under your command for the time being. Teach them the rules of the City of Dew today."

"In addition, the longbows in the blacksmith shop should be developed by the end of the month, and then everyone can change to new weapons."

"Later, I will let Brin design a new armor for the night elves to adapt to future combat."

Isani took a deep breath and held her chest respectfully.

"Your will is above everything!"

There was also some emotion in her heart. When the number was raised, the weight was immediately different.

This is not a struggle for power, but the most basic guarantee, weapons, armor, and even housing and food supply.

When the number is small, the night elves will definitely not be given priority.

Li Er is also very optimistic about the night elves.

Because of the small number of people before, the sound was not loud in several battles.

But in his observation, he could see the potential of these archers intuitively.

Accurate and elegant, fierce and deadly.

As long as the number is increased and the equipment is upgraded, it should not be underestimated.

Now it has been increased to 7 squadrons, which can be regarded as a complete legion.

Even if it encounters a tough battle, it can be pulled up to serve as the main force.

With the expansion of the territory, the power of all aspects must be supplemented.

Relying only on a single type of soldiers, once encountering a restrained opponent, it is easy to overturn.

Thinking of this, Li Er began to think carefully.

Now, the army in his hands is composed of several parts.

First of all, the cold-blooded cavalry, these heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, are the main force of the siege.

There are 7 squadrons, level 11, which is a legendary type of lizardmen, and performs extremely well in battle.

The actual combat effectiveness is much higher than the level of 11.

And there is huge room for future development. As long as more wetland lizardmen can be obtained, there will be a steady stream of violent soldiers.

The second is the accompanying troops of the Tomb - the Tomb Guard.

The number is as high as 2,000, and the level has reached level 14.

And it also has the ability to resurrect, which is currently the most powerful force in the City of Wisdom.

The only limitation is that the Tomb cannot leave the Scarlet Carrion Land for a long time, and must return at most in 3 days, which reduces its strategic value.

This is a mandatory requirement for the garrison of the Scarlet Carrion Land.

And the number of Tomb Guards has reached the top, and there will be no more increase in the future.

But even with these restrictions, the strength of the Tomb Guard is still heart-wrenching.

Third, the Scarlet Hornets, led by the level 12 Queen Bee, have more than 30,000.

The level has reached level 10, which is a standard high-attack and thin-blooded assassin.

And the Scarlet Hornets can also self-destruct, with extremely high damage.

After death, they can be hatched by the Queen Bee to replenish.

Although not as ferocious as the Tomb Guards, they are also an important strategic force.

Its limitations are the same as those of the Graveyard Guardians. Unfortunately, because the Scarlet Queen Bee has reached the maximum level, the potential of this legion has reached its limit.

Fourth, the Ancient Tree Guardians, 50 in number, level 12.

Although the number of levels is not top-notch, their size and combat style determine their strategic positioning - defensive turrets.

And it is a turret with unlimited ammunition.

It is the last defensive force of the City of Wisdom.

In the future, we will get more treemen and can continue to manufacture them, which is worth looking forward to.

Fifth, the night elves, with more than 7 squadrons, composed of levels 10 and 9.

In a sense, it is the only long-range attack force at present. The ancient treeman guardians are too noisy, and the guarding battles and siege battles are their battlefields, not suitable for mobile operations.

When equipped with good equipment, it is definitely a powerful force.

In terms of quantity, it can continue to be obtained from the underground world, and the potential is considerable.

Sixth-Corrupted Naga, with 15 squads and level 12.

The number is the smallest, but the combat strength should not be underestimated.

However, because there is no replenishment of troops, Li Er currently puts the corrupted Naga in the position of guarding the territory.

It is led by the level 15 Naga King.

Cooperating with the ancient treeman guardian, it forms the most solid defense line.

Counting this way, excluding the troops in the Crimson Carrion Land, the troops in hand include Cold-Blooded Cavalry, Night Elves, Corrupted Nagas, and Ancient Treeman Guardians, totaling more than 1,500.

Counting the troops in the Crimson Carrion Land, the quantity and quality will expand.

But unfortunately, neither the bee swarm nor the graveyard guard can leave the Crimson Carrion Land for more than 3 days.

These restrictions determine that these troops cannot be used as regular troops.

Thinking of this, Li Er spoke up.

His eyes were a little emotional.

From leaving Loran City to now, in just three or four months, the military strength in hand has increased by more than ten times.

Who would have thought that the situation would develop like this?

I wonder if the other pioneering lords have gained a firm foothold now?

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Li Er looked at the night elves who had just been enslaved, and waved his hand to let Isani arrange it herself.

Now, he has no big psychological fluctuations for just a few hundred troops.

In a good mood, I came to the fish farm leisurely. Looking at a large area of ​​dragon blood red fish, my steps became more and more brisk, and I took a look around the nursery ponds.

I was surprised to find that in just ten days, the big dragon blood red fish had grown to the length of my forearm.

It swam very powerfully, and two long whiskers floated in the water like red ribbons.

With sufficient food supply, the dragon blood red fish is growing very fast now.

If it continues to develop like this, it may only take two or three months to be put into the pot.

And now the fish farm is still expanding outward, and the expanded area has exceeded 100 acres.

These days, three bubble beasts have been arranged to take turns to purify the water source.

When the dragon blood red fish can be produced in batches, it goes without saying that it will definitely be a stable source of income in the future.

I feel happy.

After looking here, I came to the pitcher plant area to inspect it again.

After spreading some feces of the big-mouthed scavenger the day before yesterday, the pitcher plant has grown to more than 3 meters high.

It is not much different from the 4-meter-high mature body found in the Mosquito Queen.

In the past few days, nectar has been collected from it one after another. According to estimates, it can produce about 10 liters of nectar every day, which is an exaggerated output.

Moreover, the nectar of the pitcher plant is sticky and very sweet, and it tastes not greasy.

It is an absolute delicacy.

20 pitcher plants can produce 200 liters every day. After they grow up, the output may be further increased.

If the scale is expanded in the future, the value that these pitcher plants can provide is also considerable.

After Li Er turned around, he suddenly thought, should he get some bison with high milk production?

Then get some cassava, sweet potato starch and the like to make some pearls, wouldn’t this milk tea come out?

Li Er tasted the taste and missed the drinks on Earth.

Let someone try it later

There are more than 200 bison in Wei Lu City now, so there must be some that produce milk.

In the next few days, Wei Lu City entered a busy and orderly state.

More than 1,200 big-eared people from the Night Shadow Clan began to integrate into the territory and become fresh labor, injecting vitality into the city of Wei Lu.

The blacksmith shop is still the busiest place in the territory.

After obtaining a large amount of ore resources from the Barbarian Territory and the Night Shadow Clan, Li Er began to expand the scale of the blacksmith shop.

First of all, the site, the original 5 buildings were upgraded to 10, directly doubling.

At the same time, the staff were fixed, and finally the specific personnel were determined by several parties.

30 Frye people, 300 Delsa people covered with feathers, 1,000 big-eared people, 200 half-elves, 100 swamp people, plus 20 ancient tree people guardians.

The total number of people working in the blacksmith shop reached 1,650.

Occupied half of the labor force in the territory.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire territory revolves around the blacksmith shop.

Brin designed it very cleverly according to the characteristics of each race.

The entire production process, from smelting ore to hammering into finished equipment, is divided into dozens of links.

Everyone can play their role and there will be no idleness or waste.

The high management skills demonstrated made Lear very satisfied.

In this way, the production efficiency of the blacksmith shop after large-scale expansion has been further improved.

Every day, 200 pieces of 2-star armor can be packaged off the line, which is a preparation for the next trip to Loran City.

At the same time, a part of the production capacity was reserved to produce the armor needed by the Night Shadow Clan, which can produce 30 sets per day.

In addition, Li Er set about establishing an important department - the weapons research and development department.

In the future, the task of researching new equipment will not only be done by Brin, but also by talents with relevant experience or talents.

As the territory expands, various affairs will inevitably increase.

As the person in charge of the blacksmith shop, Brin's time will be insufficient, and it is impossible to leave everything to him.

A professional R\u0026D team can share many trivial tasks.

Weapons such as the Elf Longbow originally have 3-star drawings, which can be completely handed over to others for research.

However, for now, this thing is still an empty frame, and it needs to be filled with a large number of high-level talents before it can be put into operation.

But in this regard, he has seen hope in the past few days.

The Goblin Ancient God - Azaro selected the first batch of apprentices.

The total number is not large, only 30 people.

But he will teach these 30 people personally.

This is different.

This is like a Nobel Prize winner, a master who has won the country's top honors and has a high international reputation, who personally accepts apprentices to teach and teaches them all his knowledge.

A good teacher produces good apprentices.

The talents he personally trained will definitely not be bad as long as they have some talent.

He is looking forward to the scene after these apprentices graduate.

He personally researched a 3-star alchemical poison: black-spotted bloodworm powder. Bain's granddaughter, Donya, a 13- or 14-year-old girl with alchemical talent, was also chosen by the goblin ancient god.

And he rarely expressed to Lear that he was very optimistic about her and was ready to train her vigorously.

Lear was very pleased about this.

It's a pity that there are few talents, only one or two of them are favored by him.

If there are more, there will be no need to worry so much.

Time passed quickly, and a week passed in the high-speed rotation of the territory.

The information was refreshed again in the middle, but this time there were 5 1-star information that were unprecedented.

Lear was so angry that the only good news was that there were a few more roses in the flower garden.

Under high-intensity production, the blacksmith shop has a reserve of 3,000 sets of 2-star armor specially developed for trading - Obsidian Armor.

Its unique joint design can be worn by humans with a height of 1.6 to 2 meters.

At this point, the early reserves are completed, and Li Er begins to prepare for going to Luolan City.

At the same time, let the blacksmith shop shift the focus of production to the production of armor for the Night Shadow Clan.

First, arm this spider force, and arrange the later production after returning from Luolan City.

The only pity is that although the Night Shadow Clan has been offering sacrifices day and night in the past few days, they still haven't found any traces of the residual soul of the Spider God.

With the weapons ready, Li Er caught 20 dragon blood red fish from the fish pond and prepared to take them with him.

The scale of the fish pond has been built up, and it won't take long to produce dragon blood red fish on a large scale.

These delicacies are good stuff. Not to mention the ability to permanently improve physical strength, their unique taste alone may make them sell better than equipment in Loran City.

This top city with a thousand-year history is home to most of the high-ranking nobles in the Northern Province.

The nobles are not short of money.

After two days of busy work, it was early morning on October 29th.

Lear became quite excited.

A large group of people gathered in front of the small square of the City Hall.

Kalanis, Brando, the president of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, and a dozen of his staff stood on the left.

In addition, there were 30 bubble beasts, 6 big demons, a level 16 mechanical flying dragon, and his mount - the level 15 swamp giant horned deer king.

In the sky, dozens of bubbles filled with armor were floating - a total of 3,000 sets.

At the same time, the bubbles also contained 20 dragon blood red fish swimming freely.

This is the entourage that Lear will bring this time.

In order to travel as quickly as possible, he did not bring ground troops with him. The dozen or so people from the White Crow Chamber of Commerce would also be carried by the Bubble Beast and fly from the sky.

Although the number was a little small, with the Great Demon and the Mechanical Dragon, safety was guaranteed.

Moreover, wearing a 15-meter mist shadow cloak, a dazzling crown on his head, and holding power, he was no longer the weak mage apprentice before.

After the army was ready, Li Er did not hesitate and turned over to ride on the Swamp Giant Horned Deer King, which could fly into the sky after being promoted to level 15.

With strong expectations, he looked at the morning glow in the sky with deep eyes.

"All troops, listen to the order."

"Let's go. Luolan City!" (End of this chapter)
