Chapter Twenty-Two: Dead Farmland
Although Connadia used a lot of words such as "say" and "maybe" on whether there was a farm nearby, it was a rare piece of good news for Xiao Yi, who was already about to be tortured and crazy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that the grain is almost exhausted, it needs a place to replenish it, and the teams that have been on the wilderness for a long time also need a place to rest, and there are already too many refugees who have fallen ill from eating indiscriminately, and they need a place where humans can sleep well.
So although this news was not so reliable, Xiao Yi still sent a team of militia out to investigate.
This time there were no more moths, and the militia made it up the river to find a farm half a day's way from the camp, which, though not large, was generally good news.
Death Farm, also known as Death Farm in World of Warcraft, is owned by an unknown owner. However, compared to the farm in the game, which consisted only of beasts and wandering golem harvesters, it was now alive.
The farm, which also gathered a large number of refugees, was quite hostile to the arrival of Xiao Yi's team, and no one wanted the resources here to be divided by others.
The farmland, which consisted only of a wooden house and a barn with a tall tower, had not yet been occupied by the refugees, and the original owner of the farm did not know where it had gone, but now it was tended by a farmer named Foding.
He controls several mechanical golems, most of which are too damaged to use, so he has to hire refugees from exile to keep the farmland abandoned.
When Xiao Yi arrived, he was greeted by a farmer named Foding, who was escorting a mechanical puppet that had been used for working in the fields. After learning the identity of Xiao Yi's nobleman, he warmly welcomed Xiao Yi into the core of the farmland - the only wooden house.
After instructing Sharif to settle the refugees properly, Xiao Yi took Barrett and Lori and two guards to follow Fording into the wooden house.
"Your Excellency, the conditions are simple, please forgive me." After Foding arranged two small but neat rooms for Xiao Yi and the others, he said with trepidation.
"It's already good, I think I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight." Xiao Yi said with a smile, and then asked: "With all due respect, the Death Farm is not well known, and many of my subordinates are natives of the Western Wilderness, but they have never heard of this farm at all, can you introduce me to it?" ”
"Yes, sir." Foding took the teapot handed by a woman, a tea made from sun-dried okra that was normally used only by poor farmers, but now it was a scarce commodity.
"My master is a merchant from the Twilight Forest, and he has carved out this farmland here, and I can guarantee that he has the legal formalities!" Foding handed Xiao Yi a cup of tea, and said to himself: "The grain harvested by the master is usually sold through the Twilight Forest to the Valley of Thorns, where it is said that there is a city controlled by goblins. The owner rarely goes to Stormwind, so many Wild West natives don't know there's a farm here. ”
"Booty Bay? No wonder there are so many mechanical golems here, and the goblins are very good at it. Xiao Yi nodded.
"That's right! There it is! The host spoke to me! Foding affirmed, a worried look on his face, "But I don't know why, the master hasn't sent me a letter for a long time, and I don't know what happened in the Twilight Forest." These machines have also not been repaired for too long, and two of them are out of control and have defected, hoping that they will not cause harm to others. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yi asked curiously, "How do you know that something happened to the Twilight Forest?" ”
"I can feel that it doesn't seem to be normal, I went to the bridge and saw that even on a sunny day, the forest was very dark, as if some evil was breeding there!" There was a hint of horror on Ferdin's handsome face: "Joe said that she once saw a monster in the forest that she had never seen before, and in the blink of an eye, the monster was gone, and since then, she has never wanted to go to the forest on the other side of the bridge. ”
Is there an unknown change in the Twilight Forest? Xiao Yi thought for a while and then gave up, it had nothing to do with him, the most important thing was that he wanted to be supplemented here: "Okay, I know." ”
"I want some grain supplements, and it would be better if there was something else, I can trade the fangs and furs of the Bloodtooth Boar." Xiao Yi said that Barrett had told him that some people liked the fangs of this huge beast, so they were worth more than meat.
"This ......" For Xiao Yi's request, Foding seemed to be very embarrassed, and he said uncertainly: "Because the master has not come for a long time, there are a lot of cabbage and pumpkins in the barn, as well as a lot of wheat, but I have no right to sell them." ”
"And a lot of refugees roam around the farms, and if I hadn't been patrolling the fields, they would have eaten up the crops that weren't ripe! If the grain in the barn is exposed, they will grab it all! "Fording is distressed, his mechanical golem has been broken a lot in order to drive these refugees away.
"It's okay, my guards will take them all in, so I need a lot of food, and you don't have to worry about mobs looting your barn." Xiao Yi smiled and said: "You didn't give them away for nothing, instead of putting them in the barn and letting them rot, it is better to sell them to me, if your master knows, he will not be angry with you because you sold the grain to the nobles of the kingdom." ”
Pulling up the banner of nobility again, maybe it was the status of the nobility that played a role, maybe Xiao Yi promised to take all the refugees away, anyway, in the end, Foding agreed to sell all the pumpkins and cabbage and most of the grains to Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi paid all the fangs.
After obtaining the food, Xiao Yi immediately began to arrest the refugees who had planted the farmland. That's right, it's a catch!
After the Jason Farm incident, Xiao Yi no longer has any hope for these refugees, anyway, as long as there is food, throw two days of food, and you won't be able to drive them away when the time comes.
And the refugees who can get here are all young and middle-aged people who are in good health, whether they are captured to work or used as cannon fodder for the militia, it is a good choice, and every time there is danger, the elite guards are in front, it seems that the sacrifice is too great.
For example, when the Bloodtooth Boar attacked, more militiamen were responsible for attracting their attention, and Xiao Yi thought that Barton would never be injured. As for whether it is worth it to die too many militiamen?
When Patton is in good condition, let alone ten, a militia of a hundred people can be pushed sideways unscathed! Of course, it was only limited to the untrained militia, and the soldiers who knew how to cooperate with a little training would be much more difficult for Patton to deal with.
