Chapter 358: Paying Tribute

In the process of gradually cooling down, passing by the tribes and biota around the territory is also becoming more and more frequent, and everyone carefully guards day and night, for fear of a trace of danger, for which Li Ran and the others have more or less the experience of being dragged out of the bed by their teammates.

And as Wu Tongtong returned from the world map, he brought back a lot of materials, while grasping to strengthen the territory. Li Ran also organized several outings to encircle and suppress according to the intelligence of the hunter leader Histan, targeting small tribes or weaker groups of organisms passing by, and the harvest was not bad. As for the team that went out to encircle and suppress every time, Li Ran also arranged different types of troops according to the enemy's intelligence, or led the team himself, and sometimes asked Tang Shi, Xia Houben, Shadow Blade and others to lead the team.

And during this period of time, the territory also suffered several biological attacks and requests for supplies, Li Ran took advantage of the defensive advantage, continued to use the strategy of decoy attack, and then counterattacked, and earned some material troops, but there were also two times because the opponent was too strong, Li Ran had to take out some materials to give to the other party, including one tribe of orc warriors reached two or three thousand people, in addition to many high-level troops such as giant warriors, bull-headed warriors, and wild boar knights, the bipedal wyvern alone reached nearly a hundred, The scene of flying together really scared everyone. On that occasion, Li Ran also paid the most materials, in addition to a large number of equipment, he also emptied more than half of the grain in the territory, and paid a tribute of 1,500 gold coins.

Only at that moment, everyone deeply felt the importance of strength, if it weren't for the other party's strength to see that their side was not weak, the war might bring a little trouble to themselves, and I believe that this tribe is very likely to attack the occupied territory by the way to find supplies by themselves. The feeling that life and death are in control of the other party's thoughts really makes everyone feel uncomfortable. Therefore, they can also understand the trend of the old village chief Morga starting to go crazy again in the past two days. The implementation is also much more serious. Even some of the women and children of the leopard people have volunteered to join in the collection work.

That night, Li Ran was chatting with Doric about the current situation of the empire in the conference hall. Soon Wu Tongtong and the old village chief Morga walked in, and then Tang Shi and his two jungle elves also followed in due course.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the old village chief Morga's somewhat hurried expression, Li Ran asked.

However, Tang Shi, who was walking behind at this time, was the first to reply: "Brother Ran, I have information to report to you."

Looking at the latter suspiciously, Li Ran asked, "What information?" ”

Glancing at the somewhat dissatisfied old village chief Morga, Tang Zhijiao smiled and said, "The transformation training of those hunters you asked me to do is almost the same in the early stage, and the next step is to let them learn the skills of scouts, and now they need to be equipped with some special equipment." The ones they're wearing now are too unorthodox."

Li Ran nodded and asked, "Then what kind of equipment do you need?" ”

Tang Zhi said without thinking about it: "First of all, each person definitely needs a set of special leather armor, preferably a mutant lizard leather armor that can change color, if there is really none, the skin of the ninth-order limestone lizard at this stage is also okay, except that the texture is a little harder, the defense is also okay, and each scout needs to be equipped with two short swords and a dagger." There is also a small crossbow that can be folded, and the boots are naturally quieter when stepping on them. It's better to be silent, and by the way, give them some potions that can instantly burst their physical strength."

After speaking, he also deliberately glanced at the old village chief Morga, who knew what the other party meant, and in the early stage, Xia Houben surrounded and suppressed a tribe. The main combat class of this tribe happens to be the lizard cavalry, and naturally a lot of lizard skins are also obtained in the trophies, and these lizard skins are good materials for making leather armor. Among them, the limestone lizard skin is the best among them, and Tang Zhi asked him for one before. Seeing that he was a servant of the lord's knights, he also gave it. But then Tang Zhi came over to ask for it, and opened his mouth to ask for it, this time the old village chief Morga didn't do it, and finally he was forced to be anxious, in order to prevent a situation like the last time the spirit Kegaxi did, Morga directly hid the gray rock lizard skin, and the latter had no choice but to come to Li Ran.

After the two of them rushed to finish what had happened, Li Ran and Doric glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Lord Lord, those gray rock lizard skins, if they are used to strengthen the leather armor of archers and warriors, they only need to sew some on their vital parts, which is enough to increase the chances of the warriors of the entire territory in the war a lot" Seeing that the lord did not speak for a long time, the old village chief Morga hurriedly said.

Li Ran nodded, he naturally understood what Morga meant, and after a while, he looked at Tang Shi and asked: "If you are equipped with all the equipment, how long will it take for you to make them qualified scouts, after all, it is now in an extraordinary period, if it is too long, at this stage, it is still necessary to focus on the combat effectiveness of the territory."

"If it's just the conditions of the basic scout, it will only take a week if it is fast, although these hunters have not been trained by scouts before, but I have to say that the foundation is still quite good, and the level is high enough, and the physical condition and comprehension are also very good, it can be said that they are natural scout materials" Tang Zhi thought about it and gave his own answer.

With a sigh of encouragement, Li Ran looked at Doric on the side and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Although he was a little surprised that the knight of the lord was able to transform a hunter into a scout so quickly, he was from a big family and understood the importance of scouts, and at the same time, he knew that the lord was asking him now, and he actually had an answer in his heart, but it was easier for him to accept it in Morga. So pretending not to see the gaze cast by his old partner, he pretended to ponder for a while and said: "In the consideration of war, I personally think that you should support Tang Zhi's decision, with scouts, our territory can really have its own eyes, and unnecessary wars can be avoided."

Since even his old buddy said so, the old village chief Morga naturally had nothing to say, and after complaining a few words, he had to reluctantly say that he would arrange for the tailor to do it as soon as possible.

"Then the other equipment is also in trouble" Seeing that he had won, Tang Zhijiao smiled and said, "And don't forget to give me a set of druids."

"They're not scouts, so why are they with these," the old village chief Morga immediately objected.

"It's neat and unified, so that my troops can look good when they go out," Tang Shi gorgeously gave his reasons.

"You~~!"

"What's wrong? Any questions? ”

“~~~~”

Over there, the two of them quarreled again over the issue of equipment, including the level of the short sword, the length of the dagger, and even the color and style of the dagger for a long time, and Li Ran and Doric here had to laugh helplessly.

"Alright, Molga, what did you do in a hurry?" Seeing that the two had quarreled for a while, and the equipment style level was considered to have reached a preliminary consensus, Li Ran asked.

The old village chief Morga thought about it, patted his head and hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, how can I forget the business?"

After speaking, he glared at Tang Shi fiercely, came to Li Ran and said, "I came to report to you, your Hu has returned from Xia Houben and Ziyunhua."

"So fast?" Li Ran said with some puzzlement: "Didn't they lead troops and go to a place twenty miles away to encircle and suppress a giant hound gathering point according to Hisstein's intelligence?"

The old village chief Morga nodded and said, "They didn't dare to attack, they all came back."

"Why? Isn't it said that the number of this beagle gathering point is only about two hundred? They had brought with them all the cavalry and leopard warriors, and more than twenty archmages, and that wasn't enough? Li Ran asked a little puzzled, "Could it be that there is something wrong with these giant hounds?" Supposedly not, that thing is only at the fifth or sixth level."

The old village chief Morga shook his head and said, "Stein made a mistake, this time these are not giant hounds, but frost mastiffs!" ”

"Frost mastiff?" Li Ran had obviously not heard of this creature.

The old village chief Morga then replied: "This gathering point is not a barbarian, the full name of the Frost Mastiff is the Frost Berserk Mastiff, which belongs to the neutral class of ice creatures, although I don't know why, but these Frost Mastiffs should have come from the Endless Snow Region, just because they look like giant hounds, so Hisstein's men are mistaken"

Li Ran frowned and asked, "Didn't Hisstein's Yali also live in the Endless Snow Land before he left the family?" Why does this error still occur? (To be continued......)
