The two caravans carrying timber had been on a dusty journey, and their men had stayed for the night in the inn of Ratchet Town yesterday, and had left this morning after breakfast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Xiaoming and the others hadn't drunk enough, and they had been drinking noisily in the hotel since early in the morning.

Yang Yi came to the hotel, he ordered a glass of thunder beer, and then drank it slowly.

Lu Xiaoming comfortably enjoyed the two big. The massage of the breasted beauty, this time he still arranged someone to be responsible for reporting the battle situation in real time, so from time to time someone got up from the table and reported a few words to Lu Xiaoming.

After Yang Yi stayed for half an hour, several people from the Qin Kun Society who were lying on the table suddenly got up, and they all asked for credit to report to Lu Xiaoming.

"Young Master, the battle is over......"

"Young master, the trees in the backwater oasis have all burned down, and only a ruin remains......"

"Young master, even the lake water in the backwater oasis has turned black, and it is all polluted......"

"Young Master, the Kokar Centaurs have retreated, and the Clan Alliance has also left......"

"The young master is wise, the young master is clever, and the tribal alliance has escaped under the young master's clever plan."

……

"Wha." Lu Xiao laughed, he climbed onto the wine table and shook his body proudly. "Well, everybody has a reward, and there is a lot of reward. The tribal alliance is not a big deal, but it is just a group of aborigines, and it is not Ben Shao's opponent at all, wahaha"

"Mouse, who won this battle?" Lu Xiaoming stood on the table and asked the young man wearing a cyan headband.

"No one won." The headband youth said.

"I'll go and count it as a draw? His grandmother's," Lu Xiaoming burst into foul language, and he said angrily: "These aborigines, every time they call back, they always keep a hand, why can't they beat you to the death little by little." ”

"It's really unlucky, regardless of these aborigines. We continued to drink, and it tasted pretty good about this dwarven spirit, haha. Lu Xiaoming's mentality was very good, and he drank happily as soon as he finished scolding.

Yang Yi was drinking wine on the side, and he had an idea in his heart after listening to the report of Lu Xiaoming's subordinates.

"So the backwater oasis is in ruins after a big war, and even the lake is polluted by something, and the most important thing is that the backwater oasis is now empty."

Yang Yi thought about it, he still had a task to occupy the backwater oasis on his hands. So he quickly left the inn, found a place where no one was, and took out the scroll and looked at it carefully.

"One of the rewards for the quest is [Spawning Ground Construction Blueprint: Town Level 1], which is for amphibians and reptiles to lay eggs, which can not only increase the hatching rate, but also improve the survival rate of the cubs and speed up the growth of the cubs, which looks pretty good. The fish-people are also amphibians, so I don't know if they can be used to hatch fish-human eggs. ”

"The mission statement only says to occupy the Backwater Oasis, so it is better to send the fishmen in the town to occupy the ruins of the Backwater Oasis first. The ruins of the backwater oasis are nothing but ruins, and the task is completed first. ”

Yang Yi felt that this method was feasible, so he immediately called Brak and took Brak to the barracks to take away the three hundred-man battle fish-man brigade.

"Take a trip to the Backwater Oasis with the Master."

Yang Yi took Brak and two brigades, a total of 200 battle fishmen, and set off immediately.

Coming to the vicinity of the backwater oasis, Yang Yi looked at it and saw a completely burned ruin. Except for the charred stakes left on the ground from the fire, all that remained was the embers that were still emitting black smoke.

"This fire burned completely enough, and no one could have achieved this effect if they were deliberately burned."

Yang Yi led the fighting fishmen in the town towards the completely burned woods, which were lush forests some time ago, and in the blink of an eye, they became a wasteland with nothing because of the war.

"The mission is to occupy the backwater oasis, but before it can be occupied, it has turned from an oasis into a wasteland." Yang Yi was helpless.

"Lord, there's someone over there." Braque suddenly pointed to the lake in front of him.

Yang Yi looked over, and there was indeed a figure on the edge of the lake. "It's a minotaur, and it's a little familiar to see the back."

Looking over with Eagle Eye Technique, Yang Yi found that the minotaur turned out to be Jerek Gaoshan.

Jerrick the Minotaur lives in seclusion on the top of Thundering Peak on the edge of a backwater oasis, and he knows the land in this area like the back of his hand.

Yang Yi walked over with the fish-man and found that the backwater oasis lake was now completely covered in black oil stains.

Jerrick the Minotaur was standing on the edge of the lake thinking about something, when hundreds of fishmen came over, and he soon heard the movement.

"Jerrick, it's been good lately" Yang Yi greeted the minotaur warmly, and he asked, "What are you thinking about alone by the lake?" ”

"Hello, friend." Jerek was also very happy to see Yang Yi, but he immediately said worriedly, "Jerek is trying to find a way to clean up this polluted lake, what are you doing here?" ”

"We heard that the backwater oasis had been burned down, and it was so sad that we came to see what was going on." Yang Yi said.

"It's a pity that this oasis was originally one of the few woods in the barren land, and this lake is also a rare source of pure water, which was originally a gift from Mother Earth." Jerry nodded heavily and said in a sad tone.

"Jerrick, is there anything you can do to purify the lake?" Yang Yi asked.

Fish-people can't live too far from the water, and if they can purify the lake water polluted by unknown black oil stains, it will be more convenient for the fish-people in Ratchet Town to stay and build a station or something.

"We minotaurs know how to make purification totems to purify water sources, but we have to find a way to study what these black oil stains are before we can do so." Jerrick said.

"It's good to have a direction, if you need our fish-man help, just say it, let's take a look around." Yang Yi said.

"Thank you, and may Mother Earth protect you." Jerek said sincerely.

Yang Yi, who was protected by Mother Earth, didn't know, and he took the fish-men to scout the ruins of the burned woods, wanting to see if it was suitable for building a garrison in order to complete the task of occupying the backwater oasis.

This construction of the station is not a sloppy thing, the Kokar centaurs don't know if they will come again, and even the orcs may come back, Yang Yi has to find a suitable place to build the station as quickly as possible.

The backwater oasis is basically a flat land, with the high mountain of Thundering Peak to the southeast, several small peaks tens of meters high to the west, and a lake in the middle.

Yang Yi looked at it, and finally chose to build a station at the foot of Leiming Peak near the lake.

Yang Yi left two brigades of fishmen and began to dig trenches to build fortifications, and Yang Yi did not want to build any other buildings until the fortifications were completed.

Then, Yang Yi led a team of fishmen in the direction of Jerick the Minotaur.

Yang Yi had just taken the fish-man around the big lake, and when he saw the minotaur Jerick again, he found that there were a few more people around him.

The Minotaur Tuga Rune Totem stood side by side with Jerek holding a water bag containing black sewage from the lake.

The two minotaurs were discussing something, and they were surrounded by Mu Xiaolan, Scarface Applejack, and Ouyang Ouyang, a master with a sword.

These people are all familiar with Yang Yi, and everyone greeted them after meeting.

"Jerrick, what is this black water? Have you found a way to purify the lake? Yang Yi asked curiously.

"Friend, we need your help from the fishmen." Jerrick said. "In order for the lake to be pure again, the earth must sacrifice a ferocious predator, and we need the claws of the male Plains Lion to make a new totem to purify the lake."

After Jerrick finished speaking, Tuga Rune Totem continued in a calm voice: "There used to be a mysterious force at the bottom of the lake in the Dead Water Oasis, and we needed someone to dive into the bottom of the lake with dry seeds to confirm if this power still exists, but after the lake was polluted, the pin-billed turtles in the Back Water Oasis became irritable, and they began to attack the creatures that dived into the lake frantically. ”

After listening to the words of the two minotaurs, Yang Yi understood that Jerek wanted to find someone to hunt a male Plains Lion, and then come back with the [Claws of the Plains Lion]. Tuga wants to find someone to dive into the lake to see if the mysterious power is still there, which obviously needs the help of the fishman.

"We fishmen can dive, and it's not a problem for fishmen to deal with pincer-billed turtles underwater, but what is that mysterious power?" Yang Yi asked.

Tuga Rune Totem, the Minotaur, slowly explained, "The barren lands have been turned into dry and barren lands by successive wars, but in the last few years, new oases have emerged in the barren lands, and the Backwater Oasis is one of them. We druids sense a force deep underground trying to break out of the surface, and these brave aliens have previously explored the lakes of the Forgotten Pools and Backwater Oases, and found the source of this power beneath the waters. It is the power that allows dry seeds to sprout and grow again, and it is this power that brings life back to this barren land. ”

"......" Yang Yi felt that his head was not good, and he was even more confused after listening to a large explanation from the minotaur Tuga, but he could tell that this Tuga not only wanted to purify the lake, but also wanted to rejuvenate the oasis.

At this time, Mu Xiaolan, who was on the side, leaned her face over, and she whispered to Yang Yi: "Go to the bottom of the lake to find out if there are any bubbling stone crevices, sow seeds around the stone crevices, and then observe for a while." ”

"I see." Yang Yi nodded gratefully, he realized that Mu Xiaolan had ventured into the oasis occupied by the Kokar centaurs for this purpose.

"Understood, the task of diving to the bottom of the lake is entrusted to us fishmen." Yang Yi said.

"Let's go hunt the male Plains lions." Mu Xiaolan followed.

Mu Xiaolan and the others went to find the Plains Lion, and Yang Yi explained to Brak, asking him to bring a handful of dried seeds that Tuga had taken out, and then led a large group of battle fishmen to dive into the lake together.

The lake in the Backwater Oasis is more than two kilometers in circumference and nearly twenty meters deep at its deepest, but it doesn't take much time for the fish-people who are good swimmers, but it's just a bit of a nuisance for the grumpy pincer-billed turtles that live in the lake.

Yang Yi and two minotaurs waited on the edge of the lake.

Soon after, Brak floated up from the lake with the Battle Fishman, still clutching a handful of green aquatic plants.

"Lord, the seed will soon grow like this." Braque handed over the greenery to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi took over the green plants and handed them directly to the Minotaur Tuga.

"Yes, that mysterious power is still there. As long as this force remains, the backwater oasis will be able to rejuvenate. Tuga said happily.

"It's good that it's still alive." Yang Yi said.

Although Yang Yi said that verbally, he was thinking in his heart: "If this backwater oasis is restored to its previous appearance, then I don't know how many people will come to rob it." The location of the Backwater Oasis is just south of Ratchet West Avenue, and if the fishmen of Ratchet Town hold the Backwater Oasis, it will be a passage to the mainland for Ratchet Town. If the Backwater Oasis were to be taken over by other forces, Ratchet Town would feel as uncomfortable as being choked. ”

Yang Yi thought about it, in the past, the Kokar centaurs were not specifically targeting Ratchet Town, just plundering the passing caravans, it had already made Ratchet Town uncomfortable enough, and it would be even worse if the Backwater Oasis fell into the hands of forces bent on dealing with Ratchet Town.

Mu Xiaolan and the others went to hunt male plain lions, and they didn't come back so soon for a while, Yang Yi returned to the place where the town fought the fishmen to build fortifications.

The battle fish-man was working hard to dig a trench, and Yang Yi frowned as he looked at the unfinished fortifications of the fish-man. He knew that these simple fortifications alone would be difficult for either the Kokar centaurs or the Horde army to stop.

"Is it true that you will occupy it and withdraw after completing the task?"

Yang Yi was unwilling to give up this place so important to Ratchet Town to other forces, there was no chance before, but now that the Backwater Oasis has been destroyed, God has given the fishmen of Ratchet Town such a good opportunity, it would be a pity to give the Backwater Oasis to others.

"If you use the construction drawings of the affiliated towns, it is bound to develop slowly step by step, and when the time comes, the construction will not be destroyed by the centaurs and a valuable map of the affiliated towns will be wasted. However, it would take too much manpower and material resources to quickly build a stronghold with strong enough defenses to deter others. ”

Yang Yi recalled some of the posts he had seen on the forum.

The Earthlings came to the world of Azeroth as pioneers, of course, they don't want to send people all the time, and many big forces are thinking about or have already begun to try to establish their own bases in the world of Azeroth, so there are many people on the forum to discuss the cost of construction.

Yang Yi has also seen some data emperors make long lists of costs, analyzing the cost of building different bases.

"It seems that it takes 10,000 or 20,000 gold to build a large village-level base directly, while a town-level base needs at least 100,000 gold coins. This is only the cost of buying building materials and architectural drawings, the pioneers do not know life skills, they also need to find the aborigines to help with the construction, and various buildings will need to be used by the aborigines in the future, and this part of the gold required will not be counted at all. Therefore, at present, pioneers rarely build large villages and towns directly, but start with a small village, and then slowly develop, and continue to build after making money. ”

"Even if the exchange price of gold coins has dropped a lot now, one gold coin can be exchanged for 20,000 yuan. 10,000 gold coins, that's 200 million money! Yang Yi was taken aback.
