Chapter 55: Enslaving the Delsa People
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. In addition to some bone weapons found in the warehouse of the fishmen, three or four thousand kilograms of dried fish were also found.
It was piled up full.
However, what surprised Lear was that the skeleton altar used for sacrifice had no additional attributes.
This made him a little disappointed.
This thing is not a divine weapon?
You are a god, how come you don’t have a hundred or eighty divine weapons?
Sad, sad!
Look down on gods like you.
Although the residual soul of the fishman god was annihilated, his divinity was also left.
But Lear still felt inexplicably that the other party might not be dead. These beings are so easy to kill, they would not be called gods.
But just woke up, it is certain that he was severely injured.
The heart is calm, as time goes by, the date of the power is getting closer and closer.
As long as he can control the power, a long-dead fishman god in the swamp is nothing.
At this time, the lizardmen warriors also collected the bodies of their companions. After counting, the number of casualties was also counted.
Not to mention the wounded, there were 6 squads of soldiers who died.
Only 9 of the 15 squads were left.
For Lear, it was definitely a heavy blow.
The troops were not many, and now they were even more stretched.
But using 6 squads of wetland lizardmen in exchange for a divine life, this deal was a bloody profit.
Death has long been regarded as the final destination by the wetland lizardmen, and dying on the battlefield is even more glorious!
No one felt depressed about this, and they calmly waited for Lear's order.
While Lear was thinking, he asked the wetland lizardmen to take the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
They did not leave them in the wilderness, or melt them to extract the essence of life.
People's hearts are condensed step by step, and the most intuitive manifestation is the respect for their own soldiers.
The dead soldiers are no longer soldiers, but heroes!
Along the way, the atmosphere was not good.
The wetland lizard warriors looked at the bodies of their companions. Although they were calm, they were inevitably a little touched.
Lear said nothing, but asked the two Delsa people leading the way to speed up.
There were no more accidents along the way. After walking for more than an hour and passing through a muddy field, news came from the front - the Delsa gathering place had arrived!
Lear led the army forward, and a large dry area covered with tall grass came into view.
The leaves of the grass were bent and woven into bird nest-like buildings by the Delsa people.
The giant bird nest was built sideways, and the rain on it could not soak the inside of the bird nest.
It looked quite eye-catching.
At this moment, hundreds of Delsa people were busy going back and forth.
Seeing the arrival of the wetland lizard people, the Delsa people who first discovered them screamed in fear.
The crowd turned their heads immediately, and after seeing them, they fled in panic.
Like a rabbit being chased by a wolf, he quickly hid in the bushes, not even daring to look at it for a few more times.
In the blink of an eye, the land became empty.
Although Lear was mentally prepared, he still felt a little bit amused at this moment.
He ran so fast.
He waved his hand and asked the two captured Delsa people to enter the bushes and call out their chieftain.
After receiving Lear's order, the two guys immediately straightened their chests and raised their heads like a duke who had received the king's order.
"Chieftain, the lord asked me to bring you a message."
He strode into the bushes.
After a while, a Delsa man with white hair followed behind the two of them, and stepped forward with a little caution and a smile on his face.
"Dear sir, Bart greets you. I am the chieftain of the Delsa people and I am willing to serve you."
Lear looked at the elderly Delsa chieftain and said slowly.
"The city of Wei Lu still needs manpower, Bart, I am now requisitioning all the personnel of your tribe."
"From this moment on, you are a member of the city of Wei Lu."
The white-haired Delsa chief was stunned, then looked at Li Er deeply, and lowered his head without hesitation.
"Yes, sir! The Delsa people obey your orders!"
The weak do not have the power to decide their fate. He has understood this truth since he was young.
The existence of the Delsa people has never been achieved by themselves, but by relying on the strong.
Before surrendering to the half-fish people, they also surrendered to more than ten forces including but not limited to orcs, lizardmen, crocodile people, etc.
Anyway, they come and go around, and their principle is to surrender to whoever is stronger.
The dragon has its own way of survival, and the Delsa people also have their own rules of survival.
Soft bones? Coward? What is that thing, can it be eaten?
Compared with living, backbone is worthless.
Lear took a deep look at the other party. Considering the other party's strength, it is true that this kind of character can live better in the wilderness full of dangers.
No more nonsense, a thought moved.
Endless divine pressure surged out.
With an absolutely domineering attitude, he engraved the soul mark in the mind of the Delsa man in front of him.
From then on, there will be no betrayal!
"Call all Delsa people immediately and move back to the city of Wei Lu."
"Yes, master!"
The white-haired Delsa chief Bart took a deep breath and answered loudly.
Just looking at Lear, the eyes became much more respectful and close, no longer as worried as before.
After Lear finished speaking, he asked the other party about the news of the ancient ruins and the God of the Fishmen, but Bart didn't know much about these two things.
The other party finally confirmed the news of the Dark Naga with him-
The Delsa people are about 15 kilometers away from the Dark Naga. Those evil creatures have always been taboo to step out of the valley shrouded in darkness all day long.
It seems to be guarding something, but those Dark Nagas are too powerful, and they dare not get close at all.
Lear opened the magic map again and confirmed its location with the Delsa chief.
Then without saying much, he asked the Delsa people to pack up and move back to the City of Weirdo immediately.
The territory is growing step by step, and the gap in labor is also widening.
More than a hundred swamp people are completely busy.
The injection of more than 500 Delsa people will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the problem of labor shortage.
Bart, the chief of the Delsa people, did not hesitate and turned into the bushes.
I don't know how to tell others. After a while, the feathered Delsa people walked out of the bushes carefully.
Began to pack up the items in their nests.
Looking at the busy crowd, Lear suddenly thought of another key issue - food.
Increasing the population is not so simple, and a series of problems will follow.
Food is a typical example.
The reserves in his hands can only sustain the consumption of 300 people for half a year. With the addition of more than 500 people, it will be greatly reduced.
And the farmland has not been reclaimed yet, and the first season of swamp wheat will not be harvested until three months later.
Taking advantage of the gap, he waved his hand to call the elderly Delsa chief.
"Bart, what do you usually eat?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at the grass behind him.
"My lord, the roots of these wild grasses grow rhizomes with a sweet taste, which can make people very full."
Rhizomes?
These guys survive by eating grass roots?
Lear became interested and asked Bart to take some out.
The Delsa chief personally took action, and in front of him, he used a blunt stone shovel to dig the soil rudely.
From the root of the long and thin weed, a fist-sized black lump was dug out.
After picking it off, rub it gently and the skin will fall off.
Revealing the yellow flesh inside.
Bart opened his mouth and took a big bite, like eating sugar cane, a lot of coarse fibers were pulled off.
Chew it, chew it, this Delsa man didn't care, chewed a few bites and swallowed it directly.
Gulp~ After swallowing it into the stomach, he still looked satisfied.
Lear's eyelids twitched.
Is eating grass roots so beautiful?
He took a good one and looked at it, rubbed off the skin on it, and tried to bite it.
It was dry in the mouth, like biting grass roots. Chew it, chew it, and finally confirmed that this thing is grass roots.
Pah~
Seeing Lear spit it out, the Delsa chief was still a little puzzled, as if he didn't understand why he vomited such a delicious thing.
Lear glared at this guy unhappily.
Staring at the tree root in his hand, its attributes appeared in his mind.
Longleaf grass roots
[Level]: None
[Features]: Contains rich energy, can sustain life needs, but the taste is dry and difficult to swallow, and it is very difficult to digest, and eating too much will easily cause bloating.
Contains rich energy?
Although it has no level, it is still something.
You can keep an eye on it, in case you are short of food in the future, you can use it for emergency.
"Bart, let all the Delsa people store enough food for themselves for a month, and then return to the territory."
"Yes!"
The Delsa chief immediately agreed, and without any nonsense, he immediately ordered the tribe to dig grass roots.
Although the Delsa people are not high-level and timid by nature, they are still quite strong.
And they are very familiar with digging grass roots, and they can dig out rhizomes in one go.
There are a lot of rhizomes under each longleaf grass, and the most one dug out is thirty or forty kilograms.
The output is exaggerated.
It only took two hours to get a month's food.
In the end, each Delsa person was hanging a bunch of longleaf grass rhizomes.
It looks a bit funny.
Li Er didn't care. After making sure that everything was brought, he waved his hand and asked them to follow his steps and return to the city of Wei Lu.
It was already afternoon. If they delayed any further, they would have to move forward in the dark.
These hundreds of Delsa people who brought their own dry food could be considered to relieve the increasingly serious pressure on employment.
