Chapter 197: The Situation in the Southeast
When Dian Wei opened the color cup in his hand, Alan was stunned.
Not one. He was bluffed.
"Next, next, Dian is lonely and seeking defeat." Dian Wei shouted arrogantly, and the faces of the other two dragon knights were not very good-looking, and they gritted their teeth and took the color cup.
They were having a good time here, while on the other side, Tang Xiaobai was also chatting with two important guests about important things.
……
The Southeast Continent is more like a fantasy continent for Tang Xiaobai, the ethnic groups living here are completely different from the Southwest Continent, and Tang Xiaobai encountered only one lizard clan in the Southwest Continent, such a non-human race. And in this southeastern continent, to be precise, there are no human beings.
The dragon clan (dragon rider clan), originally a neutral NPC existence on this continent, after Gulasven crossed the river with five dragon knights and dragons to kill the evil dragon that controlled the dragon clan, the entire dragon clan worshipped him as the lord. They live on a small island 300 kilometers from the southeastern mainland.
Originally, the aboriginal dragons called it Dragon Island, but Gulasven liked to use the name Dragon Nest, so he changed it. At present, Dragon Nest has 150 adult dragons, 150 dragon knights have been cultivated, and 300 dragon riders have been replaced. Led by five dragoon generals, Wilson served as the commander of the entire dragoons.
It can be seen that Gulasven trusts and values this Wilson very much, and if you want to stand on the opposite side, this is not a good thing for Tang Xiaobai. He is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of the dragon knight, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 troops brought by Tang Xiaobai cannot compete with it.
Then, Old Man Wilson mentioned the goblin clan again, because he had just seen the goblin engineer Bangzu, and he understood Tang Xiaobai's thoughts, so he put this originally insignificant race in the second place, which was also a kind of catering to Tang Xiaobai.
Goblins are at the bottom of the racial food chain in the southeast continent, they are timid and cowardly, and they do not have a strong enough way to protect themselves, so they can only survive through some weak scientific and technological power. But there is one thing that goblins can't match with other races, and that is the speed of reproduction. Humans are conceived in October, dragons are conceived in ten years, and elves are nourished by the spring of life in three years...... As for the goblin, the production can be completed in three months.
According to Wilson, in ancient times, goblins were not such an ugly race, they were just as big, but they were not as short as they are now, their noses were not as long, and their skin was not so green and boring. However, the goblin clan has no way to cultivate or become warriors, so they have become world-recognized slaves with their handsome appearance.
During the long period of reproduction, in order to protect themselves and avoid the goblins, they gave up perfect development. When the mother's brain is fully developed, they will be forced to give birth, so that they will complete their development in no place except the brain, which is why they become as ugly as they are now. And with the change from generation to generation, three months has become the cycle of their pregnancy and childbirth.
A normal goblin family can give birth to three children a year. Although their rate of reproduction is not comparable to that of those who touch animals, compared to humanoid primates, they are already very fast.
Because of this way of reproduction, the goblin clan has spread into many tribes. Goblin tribes can be found throughout the southeastern continent, from the end of the Rimbaud Forest in the south to the vicinity of the troll tribes in the northern wilderness. It's just that recently, the appetite of trolls has grown, and many goblin tribes in the northern wilderness have begun to migrate south.
Later, Wilson talked about the elven tribe. There was a mixed emotion in his eyes, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "No matter how powerful a race is, after hundreds of years of comfort, it will always forget the wars and killings of the past. ”
Tang Xiaobai agrees with this sentence very much, born in sorrow and died in peace. If a race forgets the blood of its ancestors and the pain of war, then the day of their demise is not far off.
The elves of the Southeast Continent are the best examples. As the masters of the Rimbaud Forest, the elves once stood at the top of the various forces in the southeast continent. They have a magnificent city of nature, with countless elven tribes, which are the organizational forces that other races crave but cannot match. At that time, the elves also had the most comfortable and chic profession - bards.
However, the trolls appeared. This group of demons that had been driven out into the abyss beyond the northern wilderness hundreds of years ago had reappeared. And this time they have become even stronger.
The Elven Queen was killed in battle.
The Troll King is seriously injured.
Trolls who have lost the Troll King also have a strong individual combat ability. And the natural elf clan that lost the elven queen lost their backbone and became a mess.
Eventually, the trolls took over the city of nature, and the elves were scattered into countless small tribes, living on the remnants of the Moon Well.
Wilson opened and closed his mouth with hundreds of years and decades of background introductions, and Tang Xiaobai and Gulasven looked at each other when they heard it, after all, the two of them had not been in this world for four years.
"By the way, speaking of the elves, I recently learned through spies that the elven tribes in the southern part of the Rimbaud Forest have been very active recently. Just half a month ago, 17 of the 34 moon wells in the south have been connected. Depending on the route, other moon wells should also be connected and lit. Wilson took out a sketched map, pointed to thirty-four points to the south, and drew a line on it with a pen to connect them.
Tang Xiaobai's eyes glanced at it, remembering the SS-level map in his pocket, and a sense of superiority arose.
Well, the quality of this map is really bad.
"And what does this moon well light represent?" Tang Xiaobai is still very unfamiliar with the Southeast Continent, and he is still very modest to ask for advice on these professional terms.
Wilson pointed to the 34 red dots on the map and said: "The elves are the incarnation of nature, and their lives are inseparable from the fountain of life, and the existence of the fountain of life is inseparable from the nourishment of the elves' faith." The two are mutually reinforcing, and the fountain of life without the elves' offerings will quickly dry up, just like the fountain of life in the city of nature, which is now just a huge pit. ”
"There is more than one spring in the Fountain of Life, as far as the Southeast Continent is concerned, there are hundreds of large and small springs, and in addition to the Fountain of Life, there is a small fountain of life that can sustain the survival of small elven tribes, and the elves call them moon wells. A moon well can maintain the normal survival of the hundred-person elf tribe. ”
"Since the city of nature was captured by trolls, the elven tribes have been forced to disperse in various places in the southeast continent, and for every moon well that has not dried up, there must be an elven tribe. It's just strange that since there is no spiritual leader who can rule the entire elven race, these elven tribes are all working in silos, and there are few organized large-scale interactions. ”
After listening to Wilson's words, Tang Xiaobai remembered a movie "Avatar" he had watched before, before the Phantom Knight appeared, even if the human army had overthrown the Tree of Souls, they had not organized to fight against humans together. This is the reason for the apparent lack of a spiritual leader, and when the protagonist appears on the Phantom Knight, all of their tribes are united by the idea that the bird is king.
Now the elven tribes in the southeast continent are in this state. According to Wilson's information, it is obvious that a conclusion can be drawn that the natural elves have a leader.
"Mr. Wilson, I wonder where the interaction between the Nature Elves starts from?" An idea flashed through Tang Xiaobai's mind, and he himself was taken aback.
Wilson pointed to a red dot on the map, which was the elven tribe that Tang Xiaobai had been concerned about before. It was only a hundred kilometers away from the goblin tribe of the Beanjan tribe.
"I have a bold idea about that." Tang Xiaobai said.
Wilson and Gulasven were both a little surprised, they had been in the Southeast Continent for almost a year, couldn't they have arrived in Tang Xiaobai for a few days?
"Please also ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor to inform."
Tang Xiaobai said: "Half a year ago, Her Royal Highness Princess Ai Kewei left from Tang Guowei Town, and I don't know how long she has traveled in the Southwest Continent, but after I landed on the Southeast Continent, when I investigated the goblin tribe, I found that about a month ago, the exterminated goblin tribe had traces of Her Royal Highness Princess Ai Kewei, if it is like what you said, then I can guess that the spiritual leader of the natural elf clan will be Her Royal Highness Princess Ai Kewei?" ”
Gulasven opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He suddenly remembered that when they met in the air that day, Tang Xiaobai had mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess, but at that time, his eyes were attracted by Tang Xiaobai's current changes and did not think about it. Now that I think about it, and then I think about Tang Xiaobai's current statement, this possibility is really big.
"Her Royal Highness the princess of the nature elves, if she really meets the clansmen, this possibility is very high. Such a statement is a good thing for the situation in the southeastern continent. ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded. According to the two of them, the most terrifying thing in the entire Southeast Continent now is the troll clan, which can be fought against without the power of one clan, and must be united. If the leader of the elves is now Her Royal Highness Princess Ekwi, then the alliance will be much easier.
"When we have time tomorrow, how about we go to the elven tribe together?" Tang Xiaobai proposed.
Gulasven nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't seen Her Royal Highness for a long time, and I miss it very much." ”
Tang Xiaobai stared at Gulasven with big eyes, this ...... There shouldn't be any intentions for Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?
"What about the other races, Mr. Wilson?"
Wilson continued to point to a large basin area on the map, and said: "This is the eastern canyon area of the southeast continent, although it also belongs to the range of the Rimbaud Forest, but it is covered by a high density of various ores, and all the dwarves live here, and it is said that the patriarch of the dwarven race today is a chosen one. ”
In the words of the Chosen One, there is nothing that needs to be deliberately introduced. Especially for such a race that focuses on building and creating, it is a very good thing for them to unite with them if they have enough combat power. The premise is that this Chosen One is not that kind of fool.
Wilson briefly mentioned the Dwarves, then pointed to the other side of the map, this time no longer on the land of the Southeast Continent, but at sea hundreds of kilometers east of the Dwarves. According to this sketched map, there is an island in that place.
"Floating islands. Territory of the Winged Humans. The current leader is also a Chosen One. ”
"The Winged Terrans are an air force, and the trolls pose the least threat to them. So judging from the situation in the southeastern continent, perhaps they are the most difficult race to unite. ”
Tang Xiaobai understood what he meant, the Winged Terran was born to fly, and they were good at using bows and arrows, and the trolls posed a very small threat to them, and even their restraint on the trolls, if they grew stronger over time, it would not be difficult to wantonly slaughter the trolls. Even from Tang Xiaobai's point of view, if he is the leader of the Winged Human Clan, he is very happy to see the land creatures below fight to the death, and finally come to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"So, if you want to dispel this idea from them, you must first let them know that they are not invincible even in the air." After Wilson finished speaking, he looked at Tang Xiaobai.
Tang Xiaobai smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "I'm curious, the Dragoon Clan is also an aerial combat power, why don't you follow the Winged Human Clan to watch the fire from the other side and enjoy it?" ”
Wilson, the old fox, looked at Tang Xiaobai at this time and showed a smile, his white teeth were shining, and he took a sip of wine before he said slowly: "Is the air combat power invincible?" One of the dragons of our tribe is now missing, and I don't know which one was cut down by a thousand knives. ”
Tang Xiaobai's expression on his face stiffened slightly, this old guy actually took the opportunity to scold himself. But there was no way, he didn't name and said that you Tang Xiaobai ate their dragon, and it was not easy for him to jump into this pit.
Scold and scold, can you still have less meat?
"Hey, I'm sorry for you, it's not easy to raise a dragon, right? Since ancient times, there have been no invincible troops and races, no matter how awesome a person is, it will eventually be a cup of loess, and no matter how awesome a race is, it can't escape the erosion of time. ”
As the saying goes, a century-old dynasty is not without reason.
"yes, but I think the Winged Terrans will soon pay for their thoughts. Then pull down your face and ask the other clans to unite. Wilson smiled and said mysteriously.
Tang Xiaobai's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that the dragon clan wants to make a move?" ”
Wilson shook his head and said, "Because we found out that the reason why the trolls are doing so much this time is not because of the king of trolls. In fact, the badly injured and dying Troll King is still asleep in his lair, and this time the trolls seem to be acting from another race. ”
"Oh, that's interesting, then." Tang Xiaobai's eyes lit up, the more complex the form, the more interesting it was, and the more information and benefits he could get from it.
"yes, it's a good thing for us to join forces." Wilson looked at Tang Xiaobai with a signature old fox smile.
"Wait, we unite? Mr. Wilson, I don't understand this, I'm just here for a tour, or something...... You don't have to look for me, do you? Tang Xiaobai also showed a signature little fox smile.
Sample, I don't know if your situation is okay, but now that I know your situation, if you don't have some big benefits of scraping bones and flesh and tearing up sales, big brother will help you?
