Today.

After several months of uninterrupted search and exploration, on both sides of the Golden River, within an area of nearly 100 kilometers, the exploration has basically been completed, and the corresponding threats have also been cleared.

In this process, a large number of special products, minerals, and resources were discovered, and after Lin Xiao weighed it, he had instructed the pioneer team to build a town on the left and right sides of the river.

In order to bring the Golden Isle under absolute control, in addition to filling the population with a large population, it is also necessary to establish new strongholds.

After comprehensive consideration of the topography, environment, and resource distribution, Lin Xiao finally decided to establish the Black Iron Town City and the Alfalfa Town City.

Black Iron Town City, located on the right side of the big river, is about 200 kilometers deep into the island.

The reason for the location is similar to the first two towns, they are all close to resource points, and the naming is simple and crude. Next to the Black Iron Town, there is a huge black iron mine, the ore is basically bare on the surface, and it is easy to mine.

Black iron is an ordinary Yuanli metal, which is harder than steel on earth, and is relatively common in the star world, and the price is very low.

Suitable for crafting a variety of tools, territory construction requires a lot of metal in all aspects, and this black iron ore can be a good complement.

As for the town of Alfalfa.

It is located on the left side of the river, on a grassland overgrown with alfalfa.

This alfalfa grass variety contains trace amounts of elemental power, and the entire grassland is very suitable as a breeding ground for herbivorous beasts and fierce beasts. The territory needs a large source of meat, and the emergence of alfalfa grasslands can be very self-sufficient in this regard.

In addition, the terrain here is very good, so it was decided to build a town town here to facilitate the control of the entire Golden Island.

This time.

Yevel's ten-man knight squad is to carry out the mission of exploring the alfalfa grass grassland.

This includes surveying the beasts of the grassland, the growth of alfalfa grass, and the surrounding terrain - in order to inform the plan for the construction of the city.

But.

Apparently, in the process of exploring, they got lost in the huge forest.

Just as Captain Yavier was about to give the order to return the way he came, and to prepare for the punishment, one of the knights made an unusual discovery and warned everyone.

The knights quickly assembled.

Yevel was the first to come to the knight and asked, "Merris, what have you found?"

"Captain, look......" The knight quickly pointed in one direction, his face agitated, "We, we may have a major discovery." ”

Yevier looked in the direction he was pointing, and not far ahead, a large net of thick rope was hung from a tree, and, importantly, an elk with two horns in it.

Obviously, it is impossible for the elk to net itself and hang it from a tree.

So—

"It's a trap set up by man!" Yavier quickly made a judgment and turned to look at his right-hand man next to him, "Derek, contact Master Carter immediately and report the situation here, I think we need to get support." ”

Derek certainly knew what he meant.

If there is a man-made trap, then it means that there are human tracks nearby, or even ...... Remnant settlements.

According to the instructions of the lord, all the humans on the Golden Island are potential Immortal River Lords.

However, with their ten-man knight squad, if they want to control these remnants, their strength is obviously a little weaker.

Just as Derek pulled out the rune communication device and contacted the rear, the knight team was also arranged by Yeville, quickly hid and monitored the hunting net.

Time passes quickly in waiting.

Really.

It didn't take long for several knights dressed primitively, almost wrapped in a few pieces of animal skin, to appear in the field of vision.

They skillfully untied the traps, re-enacted the traps, and tied the elks to them, and left here laughing.

The whole process takes only a few minutes.

If they hadn't waited here, it would have been very difficult for the search team to spot them.

"Merris, you have the best tracking skills, so you can follow them and report back as soon as you find out where they live. Yevier said.

"Understood, Captain. The knight who had first spotted the trap replied excitedly.

The trap was discovered by him, and if he had discovered the settlement of these remnants, then he would have surpassed the captain even in battle.

Seeing Merris nimble through the forest, barely making a sound, the rest of the knights cast envious glances.

Yevel couldn't be faulty about his arrangement.

It is indeed the most appropriate for Merris to follow him.

If you change to any other, you can't guarantee that you won't be discovered, and you may fall short.

The knights did not wait long.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Merris reappeared.

From the excitement on his face, he could tell that things were going well.

"Captain, I have found a place, in the depths of the forest, there is a small lake, and around the lake there are many wooden houses, and I have roughly estimated that there should be more than five hundred people. Merris reported to Yevier.

"Very well, Merris, your credit will be recorded. "Successfully finding a remnant settlement of hundreds of people is close to completion, before this, no one knows if the few people who appeared just now are just a few primitive people living on the Golden Island, not from a remnant settlement.

All that remains is to wait for the arrival of the Knights.

It was also not long before Carter, who had received the report, personally led hundreds of knights to arrive.

"Adult ......"

Yevel immediately stepped forward and reported what he had seen and heard.

Then it's simple.

In terms of co-opting the remnant settlements, the Knights are basically quite proficient. They also rushed over and surrounded them, subdued the entire settlement with absolute strength, and then searched and interrogated separately.

Ultimately.

When the report was placed in front of Lin Xiao, he looked at the administrative officer who came to report with a little surprise: "You mean, they found a second remnant settlement, and they also searched for a second red broken crystal?"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

He was about to give up the original secret of the crystal.

In the past few months, due to the fact that the crystal is too bad, there has been no great progress on Xiao Shirley's side. Moreover, judging by the shape, the original crystal should only occupy about one-fifth of the whole, and it is difficult to judge the specific effect of the combination of runes on it.

Unless...... Get the other parts.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, a lost knight team found another remnant settlement in the main city, and found a second broken crystal.

What a bonus.
