"Be disciplined and stand still."

"Don't move!"

"Give him some medicine over here!"

In the Ice Flame Tribe, a group of old and weak people are trembling and obeying the orders of a group of humans to stand together.

It is said that it is old and weak, but except for the snow giants who are really old and can't walk, or are completely still in their childhood, most of the snow giants who have not come out to participate in the battle are actually quite dangerous, and most of their strength is between quasi-knights and big knights according to their physical conditions, and some can even exert the strength of the peak of knights, and they have to be extra careful when taking care of them.

It stands to reason that judging from the common sense that snow giants judge their strength according to their size, these old and weak people should not be so honest when they see the group of "dwarfs" that Richard is carrying, at most a strange-looking giant makes them feel a lot of coercion.

But the brute bones that were carried back in front of him, as well as the little man covered in bloody wounds, and several fellow clansmen lying on the ground who did not know whether they were alive or dead, made their minds very clear at this moment.

This group of dwarfs is not simple, the tribe has been defeated, in order to survive, it is better to obey the orders of the leader and cooperate with this group of humans.

"My lord, there are still fifty-three people in the entire Snow Giant Tribe, including seven old people and children who are weak and incapable of fighting."

A soldier reports to Richard after the count.

"Hmm."

Richard nodded, and didn't ask much, these snow giants may be a big trouble for others, after all, there are still a lot of knight-level combat power in them.

But Richard didn't worry at all, anyway, if they didn't know how to move, the nearly ten earth-level combat forces and hundreds of knight-level combat forces on this side could easily suppress them.

"Lord Richard, the Magic Energy Crystal Vein has been found."

A spy came to report to Richard.

"Let's go, take me to see it."

Richard hadn't forgotten the main purpose of his visit to this place, wasn't it just for these magic crystals to come to this cold and windy place?

After telling Elena and Ron to take care of this side, Richard led a few people to the bottom of a hill.

There were still a few kobolds standing at the entrance of the cave, and a puba in a blue cotton coat was talking to a few kobolds.

"Great Marquis!"

When the sharp-eyed Haba saw Richard and others coming, he immediately threw down a few kobolds and rushed to Richard and knelt on the ground on all fours.

In fact, Haba's exaggerated deference made Richard a little crooked, and even made Li feel a little detrimental to his own compulsion, but Haba, as a smart person among kobolds, is also a benchmark among kobold slaves, and Richard's attitude towards Haba is still good.

Disgust and disgust are two different things, Richard nodded at Haba, and then told him to get up and speak, otherwise he would not know how long he would have to kneel on the ground with Haba's licking dog nature.

"Have you clarified what is going on with these kobolds?"

"The Great Marquis..."

"Just say it."

"Yes, sir."

Haba finally obediently did not say any more flattery and explained the situation to Richard.

The kobolds in these caves are the original group sent by Grugesh to collect magic crystals, and after the snow giants came, some of them escaped, and some of them were taken as snacks by the snow giants.

But Grugersh doesn't care about this, he still keeps sending kobolds to this side to mine magic crystals, as long as he can bring back enough magic energy crystals for him to use, anyway, it doesn't matter to him that the kobolds are eaten as snacks by the snow giants, and it is impossible to fight the snow giants for the safety of the kobolds.

It wasn't until the brute inadvertently discovered the effect of the magic energy crystal that these kobolds finally escaped the fate of the snack, and the brute bones directly intercepted these kobolds to mine for themselves, and now there are still hundreds of kobolds working in the mine.

Originally, when Grugersh found out that he couldn't get a piece of magic energy crystal, he would definitely attract attention, and the ogre would have to fight with the Ice Flame Tribe.

But before Grugersh noticed the problem here, Richard had already sent him back to the arms of the ancestral god, so the brute bones safely occupied the magic energy crystal for more than a month, until now, the mine changed hands again.

Although there are hundreds of kobolds in it, the output is not high, the mining of the magic crystal mine is difficult, and the kobolds lack tools, and they are digging completely by racial talent, Richard estimated that with the current output, this pit can only provide two or three units of magic energy crystals per day,

For Grugash or the brute, this production is more than enough, but for Richard it is only a drop in the bucket,

Buildings need to be used, some troops need to be recruited, magic classes use spells, and even indigenous mages like Gandorf have to be consumed, so it is imperative to expand production.

Fortunately, Richard was prepared, and this time he not only brought the army, but also thousands of kobold prisoners to speed up the collection of magic energy crystals.

"Haba!"

"The Great Marquis."

As soon as he heard Richard call his name, Haba subconsciously knelt down in front of Richard.

"In the future, all the kobolds in this mine will be under your control, and you will be responsible for collecting that red crystal for me."

"Thank you, Lord Richard, thank you, Lord Richard! I'm sure I'll get the job done! ”

Hearing Richard's order to manage thousands of kobolds, Haba kowtowed with excitement, the kobold tribe of thousands of people is also a great tribe in the wilderness,

He haba is now the leader of a large kobold tribe as well! Thinking of this, Haba's tail is almost up to the sky.

"Don't be too happy, you have to guarantee me the yield, at least five times the original production."

"Lord Richard, rest assured, it's done!"

Haba patted his chest and assured Richard.

Haba's faith is not unreasonable, originally there were only a few hundred frightened kobolds here, but now the number has increased tenfold, and the amount of mining will increase a lot.

When the time comes, it will divide the kobolds in the mine into good groups, reward the group food that harvests more, and then reduce the group food that harvests less, strengthen the work enthusiasm of its fellow people, and then divide it into several shifts to dig day and night at full load.

Haba is a very clever kobold, the way the kobold manages the demon city, it understands all the seven, seven, eight, eight

…

"You have found a rare resource crystal x3"

After Richard took away the magic energy crystal that had been excavated outside the mine, he turned around and left with someone, and some things were arranged without having to do it himself.

Although Haba temporarily took charge of this group of kobolds, Yusi still left a lot of people to supervise, and Richard will do things first to put the supervision in place, and then give trust, after all, some things are too expensive to test.

After dealing with the important things on this side of the pit, Richard was ready to meet the brute who was still recuperating from his injuries and ask questions, after all, it was also one of the tasks to find out why the snow giant was heading south.

"Lord Richard, Lord Richard..."

A few guards saluted Richard, there were several crusaders guarding the place where the brute bones were recuperating, and not far away was the place where Zebue's and other champion knights were resting, even if the brute bones recovered quickly, they couldn't turn over anything.

"Your Excellency..."

The brute who was lying down to recuperate his injuries also greeted Richard in a rather respectful tone when he saw Richard come in, the tradition of the snow giant is so good, keep respect for the strong, and desperately resist in the face of strong opponents is definitely not the tradition of the snow giant, admitting that survival is the way for the snow giant to survive,

There is a slight sense of dissonance between this tradition and their size.

"I ask, you say."

"Yes, sir."

Richard came in and was not polite, and directly began to ask, the brute bone also knew everything, anyway, after giving up resistance, the brute bone didn't have so many ideas, everything was based on the survival of the tribe, and the survival of the tribe was between the thoughts of the human in front of him.

"Mission: The Mystery of the Snow Giant (Completed)"

Because of the cooperation of the brute, Richard quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, from being driven here by a medium-sized tribe to discovering the usefulness of the magic energy crystal, the basic context was sorted out.

The system will also immediately prompt you with the message that the task has been completed.

The process of completing this task is relatively easy, but the difficulty is actually not low, although it is just an investigation, but if it weren't for the brutal bones, he wouldn't have explained so clearly like this.

The combat power of more than a dozen big knights and the combat power of two earth ranks, let alone subdued, you have to walk around when you see it, in the final analysis, the strength in Richard's hands is getting stronger and stronger, and the earth level is no longer an obstacle.
