The new siege weapon to talk to the kobolds about is the catapult!

The catapult is a large-scale manpower long-range weapon that uses the principle of lever to throw stone projectiles, and the cannon in Chinese chess is the catapult referred to.

After Ran Fei told everyone the principle of the catapult, he also picked up a branch on the side and drew a rough outline on the ground.

A kobold craftsman thoughtfully said, "Chief, we can also add thrusters to this area, so that it only takes a few people to operate the catapult, and the front can be equipped with the auxiliary aiming ...... used on the giant crossbow" (don't worry about the jargon)

For the whimsical ideas of the kobold craftsmen, Ran Fei was very encouraged: "You come down and discuss it again, and when the spring begins, I hope that this new type of siege weapon can officially land on the battlefield." ”

"Yes!" the kobold craftsmen hurriedly replied.

Not long after, a rat-headed orc arrived, saw Ran Fei and the others, and hurriedly reported: "The chief, the commander of the merchant port and others are back." ”

"Oh?" Ran Fei immediately remembered that he had discussed with the merchant port that if Naga was willing to pay the "price", he could withdraw from the Central Mountain Range.

Look at it like this, you have successfully obtained the Fish-Man Clan.

Ran Fei immediately instructed Man to set up two blacksmith shops, one was the blacksmith shop for military products, the Military Casting Bureau, and the other was the blacksmith shop for civilian products (mostly agriculture), the Smelting Institute.

Although the ko-headed craftsmen are all-round craftsmen, there are also tall and short among the people, and each craftsman has different strengths, some are good at military aspects, just like the ko-headed craftsmen who just made the opinion, the giant crossbow was proposed by several of their ko-headed craftsmen, and some are good at building plows and hoes for agricultural use.

After instructing the blacksmith shop, Ran Fei took Pei Yan to the gate of the city wall.

Outside the city gate, the merchant port brought the orcs of the mountain forest camp, and the orcs carried large and small salutes on their backs, and it seemed that they had really decided to move into the Xia tribe.

Shangbu saw Ran Fei from a distance, hurriedly rode ahead, came to Ran Fei, and said half-kneeling: "Chief, Shangbu has stationed orcs and fishmen in the mountain and forest camps, and hereby wants to move back to the tribe. ”

Ran Fei nodded, this matter had been discussed before, and it was just a show at the moment.

Leaned forward and helped up the commercial port: "The commander of the commercial port has worked hard, the barbarian opened the city gate and let our compatriots go home!" (It was just convenient for Ran Fei to go out of the city, but he didn't completely open the city gate.) ）

Man Er was on the city wall, waving his hand below, and several small horned orcs guarding the gate below hurriedly pulled the iron chain connecting the city gate.

The orcs of the mountain forest tribe, except for the ko-headed crossbowmen and assassin apprentices who had been stationed before, were all shocked by the Xia tribe.

The city wall is more than ten meters high, as if the two worlds are separated, the neat and novel brick houses in the city, the roads paved with cement, the street from time to time there are cries of selling, and there is not a single person with a yellow face and thin muscles because of hunger.

"Hey...... Is this really our home in the future?" asked a little horned orc in a whisper to his companion.

Another little horned orc thought for a while: "The commander of the merchant port said that before the Xia tribe, only Chief Xia and the four little horned orcs would accept us, and you see, these kobold orcs and rat-headed orcs are not also well fed and clothed, as long as they work hard, they can get food and houses!"

"Wow!" the little horned orc exclaimed with joy on his face.

"Don't whisper down there, the next thing you have to do is build your own house, of course, the kobolds of the tribe will guide you, and you will have a beautiful house too!" the captain shouted to the two of them, but he also had a smile on his face, and he couldn't have imagined that he would have a comfortable and safe home before.

……

After the large army, Ran Fei walked side by side with the commercial port, and the commercial port explained what had happened in the mountain camp in the past few days.

"Hmm...... You said that Vena agreed like that?" Ran Fei's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

The merchant port was a little uneasy by Ran Fei's eyes: "Well, I heard Vena say that as long as the fish people are cultivated from an early age, loyalty can also be guaranteed." ”

"Commercial port...... Did you say that Vena had a crush on you?

"I ...... Chief, we are all different races. "Fortunately, the commercial port is in the mountain camp all the year round, and the skin is tanned, and the blush can't be seen clearly.

"Hehe, isn't it okay to be different in race? Besides, you didn't say you didn't like it...... Gee. Ran Fei said with a laugh.

The merchant didn't dare to say anything, he hadn't paid attention to this aspect before, but now that he thought about it, Navena wouldn't really like herself. (There are three major illusions in life, the phone is vibrating, someone knocks on the door, and she likes me.) ）

The fish-people are all newborn small fish-men, this kind of race is very strange, obviously similar to fish-like oviparous animals, after birth, less than a week, can reach half the size of an adult fish-people.

Ran Fei carefully looked at the fish-man clan who did not follow the orcs into the tribe.

The head of the fish-man is naturally a fish head, Ran Fei took a closer look, it is somewhat similar to a carp, the limbs like frogs, and these fish-people can not only breathe in the water, but also on land.

The little fish people looked at Ran Fei and the others tremblingly, they didn't know what would greet them, in their memory.

Soon after they were born, they were thrown into a large pond with all kinds of crushed food scraps, and they survived on them.

Soon after, he was captured by the Naga and sent to the mountain camp, where they followed the tall little horned orcs.

Although they longed for everything here, the humility in their hearts made them "know" that it would not be their own.

"Chief, where are these fish-men arranged?" asked the Manichi.

Ran Fei pondered for a while: "There is no need for these fishmen in the tribe for the time being...... Well, the tributary next to the tribe hasn't been used for a long time, so it's better to let them settle there. (Because they were attacked by the Naga once, the tribe dug wells for water, and rarely used the water from the tributaries.) ）

The fishmen followed behind the barbarian and the others in fear, and one of the fishmen turned his head and glanced at Ran Fei with the courage to do so.

Ran Fei's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, little fishmen, are you willing to be loyal to me? If you are willing, put your remnants in my hands, and I will let you have the same treatment as other orcs." ”

When the little fishman heard this, he didn't dare to move forward or speak, and the bold fishman spoke up at this time: "Chief...... Chief, I'm willing to put my remnants ...... The remnants are delivered to you ......"

Ran Fei nodded, and then controlled the life and death card, absorbing the remnant of the fishman in front of him who was already loyal to him. (Don't say why it's so easy to be loyal, a slave who lives at the bottom can't be at the bottom anymore, has nothing else to prove his ability but loyalty.) ）

Ran Fei suddenly felt that his eyes were dim, the soles of his feet were weak, and the man next to him hurriedly supported Ran Fei.

"Brother!"

"Chief!"

Several people exclaimed, fortunately they didn't faint this time, Ran Fei waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

After getting the loyalty of the fishmen, there are already five races, and the second function of the life and death card has been opened just now.

This second function, Ran Fei is a little incomprehensible, racial shape.

After thinking about it, Ran Fei meditated on the appearance of a fish man, and suddenly a feeling of swelling appeared on his body.

The skin began to swell, and a membrane began to appear between the five fingers, and Ran Fei felt that his head suddenly became larger.

In Pei Yan's exclamation. Ran Fei seemed to understand something.

In front of a piece of glass, Ran Fei saw his "new appearance".

The fish-man who was 2 meters tall was definitely a giant among the fish-men, Ran Fei blinked his eyes, and the dull fish-eyes also blinked twice.

"Brother...... How did you. Pei Yan was a little incredulous.

"It seems that this second ability is to change orcs. And I have a feeling that as long as it is a race that is loyal to me, I can change, and not only will my physical fitness not decrease, but it will also double again according to the strength and agility that can be added by each different race. (If you change the Lesshorn, the bonuses of the various Lesshorns are doubled, if you become a Fishman, the Fishmen bonuses are doubled, and so on.) ）

Those little fishmen looked at Ran Fei, the "big fishman", with fear and curiosity at this time.

The bold little fishman asked curiously, "Chief...... You're also a fishman, but you're so big. ”

"Haha, you'll grow so big in the future. Ran Fei smiled and spoke.

This is not to coax the little fishman, after Ran Fei changed into a fishman, he also understood the various changes of the fishman.

In the past, it was estimated that the Naga were just trying to use the fish-people as cannon fodder, and did not make them grow.

The real adult fish-man is a body similar to Ran Fei's current body, even if he is a little shorter, he is not as 1.4 meters as Naga said.

The little fishman nodded thoughtfully, and the fish's eyes turned out to be less dull.

Ran Fei couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, it seems that this is one of the capable people among the fishmen, but I don't know what his ability is, but now all the fishmen are still only in their infancy, so they don't need to interfere too much, let it be.

Dozens of smelters of the kobolds, under the command of Bloodfang, began to build houses in the tributaries.

The whole house is only 2 meters high, half above the water and half under the water, and the whole house is glued to the skin with pebbles and crushed stones by dog-headed craftsmen.

The little fishmen are still too small to bring much benefit to the tribe, but in general, the Xia tribe also has its own first navy.

Instructed the Manchu and others to promote the use of copper coins, arrange new members, and avoid conflicts between new and old members.

Ran Fei took Pei Yan back to Earth.
