Chapter 338: Ice Creatures
With a flash of white light, Li Ran returned to the lord's room in the center. Pushing open the door, I saw three rounds of remnant sun hidden in the sky, and it seemed that the time to come back was about the same as he expected, Li Ran thought in his heart.
And as Li Ran walked out of the lord's room, Barranca's guard Ulqi and Tucker swordsman Gilda, who had been guarding the door, came behind him, and the group of three quickly walked towards the north gate, I don't know if it was because the weather was getting colder recently, the side of the territory close to the endless snow region was often attacked by ice creatures recently, and the winter wolf alone came in several batches, which was also the reason why he asked Wu Tongtong to pick up Shadow Blade and others.
Although the number of these creatures is not large because of the characteristics of the ice creatures, every time you kill these ice creatures, especially the winter wolf, etc., the fur will also become a guarantee for the villagers to survive the cold winter, but the villagers in the territory still died several because of this, which is a major loss for the territory with a small population, fortunately, the last time I attacked the lizard nest, I brought back some original people, or now there are not enough people to build the city wall.
Seeing the arrival of the lord, the residents who were busy hurriedly bent down and saluted, and the natives brought back from the lizard's lair knelt down directly because they were afraid. Li Ran waved his hand and motioned for them to continue working.
At this time, the old village chief Morga had completely relieved himself to hand over the territory to Li Ran, and the people became much more cheerful. But he ran directly over and pointed to the iron man and the sulfur steel golem who were working, and said, "How many such laborers do you have, give them all to me quickly."
Li Ran asked puzzledly: "Remove the dead ones, and the rest will be given to you, isn't this almost finished?" ”
Speaking of which. Morga said angrily, "It's not your damn spirit Kegahi, you let him design the drawings." He rejected all your original designs and came up with a new plan. All of us together will have to work for at least another month."
Li Ran couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked Tucker swordsman Gil Luo to call the fourth-order spirit leader Ke Jiaxi. After a long time, I don't know where I got it from the mud, Kegahi came over with the drawings. After inquiring about the situation, Li Ran picked up the drawings and looked at them for half an hour, and then he was a little surprised and depressed.
I have to say that there is a specialization in the art industry, but Jiaxi's design is more rigorous and reasonable than his original one, and it will be much easier to plan the territory in the future with such a talent, but the expensive and scary expenses make Li Ran really distressed. After thinking about it a lot, I looked at the spirit Kegahi who was worried that the first plan would be denied by the owner. Li Ran gritted his teeth and decided to follow Ke Jiaxi's drawings.
To be honest, seeing that the lord agreed with Kegahi's opinion, Morga, who had just been complaining, was happy from the bottom of his heart. The more comfortable the house is built, the better the residents can rest. The tighter the barn is built, the fewer animals will die in winter. The stronger the territory's defenses, the more resistant it is to foreign creatures. This is also something he has always wanted to complete but has not been able to accomplish before, and his complaint just now is more worried that Li Ran, the lord, will not agree to this plan.
"Lord, according to Kogahi's drawings, we had to add a lot of tin and stone to the log wall at the beginning, which we lacked. What do you think? Morga reminded at this time
Li Ran looked at Morga and said: "Don't worry, you first strengthen the city gate and sentry post, the residents' houses and livestock sheds only need logs to be strengthened now, as for the city wall materials, I will find a way"
"Can you get some more of this?" Morga said, pointing to the Iron Golem. Laughing like a fox.
Li Ran said helplessly: "Okay, I'll think of a way."
In this way, Li Ran, Morga and Doric discussed for a while, and saw that it was almost dark and they were about to lose sight. At Li Ran's insistence, the old village chief Morga let the residents go back to rest.
Summoned the hunter leader Histan. Let him lead his clan to be in charge of guarding, and when he left, Li Ran was not at ease and left three seventh-order mages and two lamp gods here. Fortunately, the village is not big. If there is a situation, others can also arrive as soon as possible.
Who knows, that night, the northern part of the territory has been heavily invaded, and there was no biological attack. At the city gate, a group of half-sheep people attacked, these half-sheep people with four hooves and horns on their heads with human characteristics belonged to a kind of orcs, and the rank was around the fifth order.
Like the common half-horse people of the elven race, these half-sheep people are also natural long-range attackers, but they are not bows and arrows, they are good at throwing stones after being wound with slingshots and vines made of thick trees, although the lethality is average, and the quasi-head is not as good as the half-horse people, but it makes Li Ran and others helpless, because of the lack of long-range troops, they can only guard the city wall and dare not show their heads. Wanting to go out to meet the enemy, but the speed of the half-sheep people is very fast, except for a few lamp gods, other troops really can't catch up with them, looking at the hundreds of half-sheep people outside, Li Ran really didn't dare to let his few lamp gods go out.
Fortunately, the number of these half-sheep people was not enough to conquer the city, and with their timid nature, they did not dare to really capture Li Ran's territory, so they spent until the second half of the night, and when they saw that they could not lure the people inside out, they returned in a huff.
Early the next morning, accompanied by the angry old village chief Morga, Li Ran went out to inspect it, the city gate was damaged to a certain extent, and it would take at least a few days and a batch of wood to repair, and several of the guards were also injured, but fortunately none of them were in danger of life.
"Damn! Here the damn ones are again! Glancing at Doric, the old village chief Morga said angrily, who shook his head helplessly.
Li Ran glanced at them and asked, "Do these half-sheep people come often?" ”
Doric replied: "Not only them, at this time of year, many other creatures will come from the Aveli Plains, among which the orcs are the most, these half-sheep people are quite good, if we encounter a strong orc population, we have to hand over a certain amount of materials so that they will not be attacked, this is also the main reason why we can't develop before, not only food and supplies, but also the battle has caused many heroic warriors in the territory to die."
Li Ran frowned slightly, and after a while, he asked, "Are these orcs going somewhere?" ”
Doric nodded and said, "Our current location is backed by the Endless Snow Region, on the edge of the Aveli Plains, and these orcs go to the Emerald Hills to spend the winter whenever the weather gets cold, so they pass by us every year."
Li Ran flipped through the map that Morga gave him, looked at it for a long time and didn't speak, and the eleventh-order archmage Sanchez couldn't help but ask, "What are the powerful orc races you just mentioned?" ”
For the twelfth-order priest Doric, Sanchez showed enough respect, but as an archmage, he still didn't look down on those half-sheep people last night, if it wasn't for Li Ran, the lord, who didn't let him make a move, he couldn't help but kill last night. Blocked in the territory by a group of creatures with only a fifth order, if this is the mage tower in the Blackstone Mountain Range, I believe that if the tower master Kunai Soid and Master Lieshi do it, they can destroy all these half-sheep people with a round of salvo.
Even the alchemist Waltson, who had been silent, agreed, and looked at Doric, who was dressed in gray robes. And Zereramo Orc Captain Tulga was very calm at this time, and looked at Li Ran who was looking down at the map seriously with a look that seemed to be understood.
Seeing that Li Ran didn't speak, Doric turned to Sanchez and said, "Every time this happens, we will retreat into the territory, so we can't detect anything. But as far as we have seen the beast race, the most dangerous one was four years ago, when a beast tribe passed by our territory, at that time, I and the hunter leader Histan led people to contribute food and grass, I observed it with the real eye of skills, in addition to the ordinary orcs, there were thousands of warriors of that beast tribe, of which the bear cavalry of the seventh or eighth order accounted for half, and there were more than three hundred ninth-order berserkers, and some were above the tenth order, of which there were nearly thirty people of my rank, There are also seven more whose strength my True Eye can't see through, and I think they should have reached the thirteenth order or even higher."
Hearing Dorik say this, Sanchez and Worthen couldn't help but take a deep breath, there were nearly three hundred warriors above the tenth order, more than thirty of them from the twelfth order alone, and at least seven thirteenth-order powerhouses. This lineup is already more than the Orcs of Zeriramo who destroyed their mage tower. And that's just what they've seen, and it's scary to think that there must be more powerful races that pass by here often.
"I almost forgot, they also have a large number of bipedal wyverns and three-legged dinosaurs, including dozens of adult bipedal wyverns," Doric said, patting his head, unaware of what a blow this was to the two masters. (To be continued......)
