Chapter 316: The urge to howl
Nezumi and kobolds have a special ability to find people, as long as they are remembered and the smell is not removed, they can be found within a radius of more than ten kilometers.
Therefore, the group of four did not wait in place and continued to set off towards the predetermined territory.
It is close to the Racesteel City of the Duchy of Griffy and the Swan City of the Orc Territory, and far away from the Kingdom of Sartre, and even the Kingdom of Barry is closer than the Kingdom of Sartre, which is the place that Rhodes deliberately chose.
It's not that Rhodes doesn't want to be close to the Kingdom of Sartre, it's just that the ten kilometers near Storm Province are not his territory, and he does have some scruples about Sartre III's monitoring ability, so he chose this place after thinking about it in the end.
Dozens of kilometers away is Saigang City and Swan City, which can be very convenient to travel between the two places.
Especially in the Swan City of the Orcs, there are many contraband items in the human kingdom that are put on the table in the open.
Although going to Swan City requires extremely strict vetting, it is not impossible.
That night, the four of them gathered around the campfire, Simone habitually took notes, as the future steward of the territory, and it was very likely that she would need to clean up the aftermath of the three Rhodes who were in charge, she had to force herself to get used to managing the life of the territory now.
"Today is the third day, and the time to subdue the kobolds and rat people is two days later than scheduled, and we can reach the intended territory tomorrow."
After a day's walk, the four of them didn't have much interest in talking, they each said hello and left, Daphne and Marianne escaped into the underworld and the shadow world respectively, Rhodes teleported to Yalai to visit the new queen of Leia, Jony, and Simone sat by the campfire and recorded what was planned in her notebook, sometimes frowning.
……
On the other side, the one-meter-eight kobold did not rush to find his kind, but had already come to the clan land first and met with the elders of the clan.
The kobold elder carried a long, thick wooden stick rarely seen in the desert, and held dried meat and grain in his hands.
"Wang, you're saying that there are human lords who use these to recruit us."
"Wang, that's right, I watched the man take out two scrolls from the convoy, and when they were opened, these things appeared."
"Wang... Storage scrolls ....... ”
The kobold elder refused a mouthful of food and chewed on the jerky again.
"Wang, although it is old grain, it doesn't matter to our physique, the jerky is very fresh, and it should have been made recently."
The kobold elder's small head didn't come up with any conspiracy, but he didn't know what the human lord had taken a fancy to them.
In a moment, the kobold elder finally made up his mind.
"Wang, Queen Leia has been moving the oasis away for a while, and if it continues like this, even we kobolds will not be able to stand it anymore."
"Wang Wang, you will take two hundred clansmen to test that human lord tomorrow, if that person is kind, you will come back and lead the rest of the clansmen to join that territory, if it is evil, then we can only risk leaving the Northwest Desert."
The kobold elder's eyes shone with a rare light of wisdom, and blue magic fluctuations loomed.
If Simone were here, she would be surprised to find that this was actually a kobold spellcaster who had naturally awakened the ability to cast spells, because she had awakened her spell-casting ability, so she had abandoned some of the negative factors in her bloodline and had more positive factors.
On the outside, I have become smarter, not as timid as before, and my body has become stronger.
The next day, Rhodes returned to the camp with a golden crystal, apologized to the three people who had been waiting for the meal for a long time, and gently placed the crystal on the ground, and Daphne picked it up curiously.
"I teleported to Yalai last night, this is the joy of the totem god to give us a housewarming, the effect is similar to the desert pioneer scroll, but more powerful, not only on the ground, but also radiating deep underground."
After quickly solving the breakfast, Simone took out the map, first pointed to the location of Saigang City and Swan City, and finally pointed to the location of the Northwest Desert.
On the map, the three form a triangle, and a large river crosses Saigang City and Swan City as if it were the bottom edge, and perfectly avoids the Northwest Desert.
"The location I'm referring to is where we are now, less than fifty kilometers away from Saigang City and Swan City, and less than twenty kilometers from the border between the Duchy of Griffey and the Orc Territory."
Simone stared at Rhodes, and the meaning of the inquiry was very obvious.
Do you really want to establish a territory here?
Orc territory is better to say, their wild habits make it rare for sentries to patrol even the edges of the territory, and the borders of human territory are also patrolled by soldiers from various countries.
The orcs don't care if they establish a territory in the desert.
But the Duchy of Griffey is different, as a city-state state, the Duchy of Griffy, which is composed of more than a dozen large cities, the lord of each large city has the authority of a king, and the lord of Saigang is notoriously hot-tempered.
"Now that the military exercise of the Sartre Kingdom has just been completed, we are going to establish a territory here, and the fiery temper of the city lord of Isaigang may not be able to send troops to attack."
Rod shook his head in denial.
"Impossible, even if that city lord has a hot temper, it is absolutely impossible to send troops, after all, the Northwest Desert is now nominally the territory of the Sartre Kingdom, and how can we have a territory around us, even if there are desert pioneer scrolls and magic crystals given by totems, who believes that we can establish a territory in this kind of place?"
Simone smiled and pointed to the city of Saigang on the map.
"Accidents always come when we don't think they're going to happen."
Rhodes recalled the memories of the head of the Heimi stronghold in the royal capital of Sutter, and from his vague memory, he could see that the black-clothed Grim Reaper and the right minister Yu Sin were staying in a riverside town in the Duchy of Griffy.
"The only accident that may happen is the black-clothed Reaper, but although the black-clothed Reaper can confirm that he is in the Principality of Griffi, I can also vaguely feel the other party, but the black-clothed Reaper is afraid that it will be too late to dodge now, and there is no need or risk to use the city lord of Saigang."
Simone smiled and shook her head: "Although I don't think that the city lord of Saigang will be the first bird, but the accident is not only the black-clothed god of death, now there must be someone who wants cannon fodder to test the kingdom of Sartre, and the fiery temper of the city lord of Saigang may be provoked by others, we must prepare for the worst." ”
Speaking of this, the four of them paused for a moment, and looked into the distance with feeling, and after a while, a large group of kobolds and rat people came out of the desert in the distance, and the kobold people were in groups of three or five, and the rat people were a large group of fat rats from a distance.
The one-meter-eight kobold trotted over flatteringly, wanting to bark, but was forcibly held back by it.
"Big, big, little man brought two hundred people, all of them are good at digging holes."
Rod glanced at a large group of kobolds and rat men, and nodded: "You go and inform me, everyone can come to me to receive the reward, don't want to confuse the false numbers, one kills the other, and the master of the ability will not show mercy." ”
Rhodes had never been a lord, but he still knew the basics of grace and power, but he really thought too highly of the courage of this group of kobolds and rat men, and without knowing that he could read minds, no one had ever falsely reported the numbers.
The one-meter-eight kobold looked at the big bag in front of him in a daze, which was full of dried meat, and he was still carrying a day's worth of food and drinking water in his hand.
Somehow, it suddenly felt the urge to howl.
