Chapter 369: Elven Captive
Next, the old village chief explained in detail the types and quantities of materials obtained this time, including two intermediate units of refined iron ore, that is, about two tons, in addition to 400 kilograms of finished refined iron, 76 pieces of tungsten steel, about 200 catties, 130 lizard skins, 45 bison skins, 25 cow tendons, 4 cans of bipedal dragon venom, and 3 horns of adult unicorns.
Seeing the expressions of Li Ran and the others, the old village chief Morga reluctantly stopped the report, and there were only a few small things left. His eyes rolled and he continued to report as before: "Five catties of mercury, four catties of sulfur, 12 ninth-order elf archers, 8 ninth-order elf knights, 2 tenth-order elf sword dancers, and horned eagle~~"
In an instant, Li Ran and the others stared at the old village chief Morga. The latter smiled secretly, so that you don't think I'm annoyed and don't listen carefully, at this time he simply pretended to drink, and the notebook was stuffed into his arms and began to look for a kettle to pour a glass of water to drink.
Knowing that this guy must be blaming himself for being distracted, Li Ran hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the kettle on the ground and poured him a glass of water, while looking at the other party and saying with a smile: "Morga, hurry up and drink while it's hot"
Seeing that the lord himself came to pour water for himself, Morga looked a little cramped and uneasy at this time, and hurriedly took a sip to cover up, and choked and coughed a few times for this.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and Doric even quipped: "You deserve it, you old guy still wants to tease us, hurry up and tell these good things honestly"
Seeing this, the old village chief Morga had no choice but to continue, it turned out that like all tribes, this Modo tribe also had its own captives. Although in most cases the attitude of the barbarian tribes towards captives is either to recruit or kill, but these elves are reluctant to kill them unless they surrender. These beautiful creatures are bestsellers wherever they are, ready to be sold or exchanged for food in other tribes or big cities.
"How many horned eagles are there?" Li Ran asked.
"Except for what I just said. Also, 12 ninth-order Pegasus knights and 6 elven priests" The old village chief Morga said in one breath at this time, and he no longer dared to tease people.
Unexpectedly, there would be these unexpected gains, Li Ran was very curious and asked Morga to lead the way, to go to the warehouse in the back to meet these elf captives.
In the end, the old village chief Morga handed over the stronghold heart of a third-order big-eared monster to Li Ran, and when Li Ran saw the heart of this stronghold, he understood why the leader of Moduo didn't care about the life or death of this kind of army at all. At all, he has the creature heart of this class in his hands, and he can get these big-eared monsters on a regular basis, so use them as cannon fodder.
For these elven warriors. Li Ran did not recruit any of them, but prepared to leave them to Wu Tongtong, who was also an elf clan, and it was more appropriate for Wu Tongtong to recruit them. As for Tang Shi, in addition to recruiting two Pegasus knights out of boredom, he didn't ask for either, Li Ran had already handed over more than twenty high-level scouts to him, and there were a few druids to train, so he didn't have more prestige and command to lead more troops.
Next, Li Ran, Xia Houben, and Tang Shi saw that there was nothing else to do. simply led the team out to encircle and kill dragon flies. After four hours of travel and half an hour of fighting, he returned at about 7 p.m. Also brought back were 24 dragon flies.
At this time, Wu Tongtong and Ziyun Blossom were already online, and Wu Tongtong, who received Li Ran's message, had already recruited all the elf warriors. In the conference hall that night, Li Ran once again called the main personnel in all the territories.
Because of the overstaffing, the construction of the territory has once again become a top priority. And the residents' houses are even more important, as the temperature drops. If there is a reduction due to weather factors, it will be a big loss. And the food problem has also become a big deal. Although Li Ran bought some from the world map before, the Modo tribe also contributed some. But it is by no means enough for more than 2,000 people to survive the winter.
First of all, after deliberation, it was decided to sell or exchange all the classes of Big-Eared Monsters, Hammer Warriors, and Ogres as soon as possible. This kind of thing was originally the responsibility of Doric and Wu Tongtong. Seeing this, the two said that they would start the implementation immediately.
However, when it came to ogres, little Aimel ran to Li Ran's eyes and hummed for a long time, it turned out that she wanted to keep these ogres, and at the same time said that she would put these ogres in her private space, not occupy the premises of the territory, but needed Li Ran to provide food.
Looking at little Emer's begging eyes, Li Ran understood what she meant, as a legendary class of ogres, little Emer was born with his own war space, coupled with a bracelet made of the heart of the stronghold that his grandfather left him. Ogre classes can be placed anytime and anywhere. So he smiled and nodded, and handed over all the ogres to little Aimel on the spot, and at this time, the number of little Aimel's war space plus his own tribe before was nearly a hundred. If it is suddenly summoned on the battlefield, it will be a group of new forces.
Seeing more than fifty ogres disappear into little Amer's bracelet in an instant, except for a few teammates, everyone was somewhat surprised, and after knowing their identity, Doric and Morga and others set their eyes on little Amer, but they didn't expect this little girl to be the legendary class of the ogre clan, and they really didn't see it for so long.
Next, Li Ran and everyone drew up a list of troops that needed to be sold, and many troops were recruited through encirclement and suppression in the early stage, and many of them were not only useless in the territory, but also a burden. The result of the negotiation should be to sell or exchange some technical or high-level units without affecting combat effectiveness. This also reduces the pressure on food and building in the territory.
The next thing is the materials needed for the construction of the territory, and the old village chief Morga is really very experienced, and it took less than a while to write down the required materials and hand them over to Wu Tongtong and Dorik.
At this moment, the current scout leaders Histan and Tang Shi opened their mouths to ask Morga for the rest of the equipment, and the latter seemed to have been prepared, and quickly asked the guards to bring what had been prepared, which made the two of them very satisfied.
Next, Li Ran asked the old village chief Morga to count the captured and unusable equipment, a total of more than 400 pieces handed over to Wu Tongtong, who will return to the world map tomorrow, and the task is to sell troops and equipment, and by the way, come back some materials needed for the construction of the territory.
The next thing is to harvest wood, winter is coming, residents in addition to cooking, heating more need a large number of branches, in the past are their own out to collect firewood, if anyone picks up less can only be frozen, so it has also caused a lot of casualties. Wood is also the main material used to build existing houses, but in the Third World, these two types of wood are not universal. The wood used to build the house is heavy and non-flammable, and if you try to ignite it, it will emit a lot of smoke, and you will choke to death without heating. Therefore, Li Ran plans to build a temporary logging yard, so that it can be simply handled outside and then dragged back to improve work efficiency. The location is on the west side of the territory, near the swamp, where there are patches of woods.
However, this plan was disapproved by many people, mainly because they were worried that the situation outside was still in a dangerous period, although the combat effectiveness of the territory was much stronger, but once the lumber yard was built, a large number of people would definitely need to go out to work, so if it was not done well, there would be greater danger. After several discussions, I had to give up for the time being, and in the early stage I still hauled them according to the old way, but fortunately, I had captured a lot of horses and pack beasts last time, and I only needed to send troops to escort them.
Speaking of horses and pack beasts, Li Ran discussed with everyone the location of a livestock shed. Then the topic of discussion turned to the aspect of food, even if the matter of living was solved, a batch of low-level and middle-level troops were ready to be sold, but the territory suddenly had thousands of mouths, and the existing food was still far from enough, so the various narratives had been seen, but the result was nothing more than hunting and gathering, and the fish in the large lake in the swamp pond naturally became the target, Li Ran finally decided to send the residents of the territory who know how to fish and hunt from tomorrow to fish, Shadow Blade and Ziyun Blossom led the troops to be responsible for the extension of the protection, and the leader of the leopard people, Borken, was responsible for assisting.
In this way, the meeting lasted until late at night, and we had a late night snack together in the middle.
After the meeting was over, Li Ran let the others leave, but left the Zereramo orc prophets Tanilov and Tulga alone, because Li Ran noticed that the two were whispering for a long time at the meeting, as if they wanted to say something, but they never spoke.
"You two, I see you seem to be trying to say something to me at the meeting, I don't know if you?" Seeing that everyone had left, Li Ran walked up to the two of them and asked with a smile. (To be continued......)
