Chapter Ninety-Three: The Dark Elves
"Patriarch Grandpa, these people want to see you, and they have something to tell you." Duogo came to the Big-Eared Monster Patriarch and said respectfully.
The patriarch of the big-eared monster nodded after listening to Dogo's words, then straightened up and looked at Dogo's head is a shudder, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Impolite stinky boy, how many times have I told you, when you meet someone with a higher status than you, you want to use your title, why don't you remember it for a long time, ah?" What did you call these guests just now, you will be thought by others that we big-eared monsters don't know how to be polite. After the patriarch finished scolding, he still felt puzzled, and raised his hand to give Duogo a few more hard blows.
"Patriarch Grandpa, I'm sorry, I was wrong, don't beat me again." Duogo stood there with a cower, hiding but not daring to hide, but begging for mercy.
"Hmph, I'll let you go this time, remember, when you meet distinguished guests or treat elders in the future, you have to use your title, and forget next time, see if I don't sew up your mouth with a bone needle!" It may be that seeing Dogo's attitude of admitting his mistake is not bad, the big-eared monster patriarch taught Doggo a few more words and then let him find his family.
"Hello, this gentleman, I am the patriarch of this tribe, my name is Manka, and it is an honor to meet you." The Big-Eared Monster Patriarch, who called himself Manka, bowed respectfully to me.
"Hello, my name is Li Jun, and I am a lord on the outskirts of the forest, and I am also very happy to meet you." I thought I wanted to use "you", but when he said that, I didn't know what to call Manka, so I had to use you. As for the statement that I am a lord, there are rules in the Empire of Light, whoever can expand the territory for the empire and pay taxes to the empire, then the land opened up by that person belongs to him, and the person who develops the land will be awarded the title of viscount at least. This was the national policy of the Bright Empire at the beginning of its founding, and it has been used to this day, of course, to encourage everyone to help the empire expand its territory. This policy was successful at the beginning of the state, and it was under this policy that most of the Southern Plains slowly became the territory of the empire, which created a large number of nobles. However, this policy has been described as empty so far, because now there is no place to open up around the Bright Empire except for the Warcraft Forest, and the Warcraft Forest is too dangerous, and the natives and Warcraft in it have taught a hard lesson to those who have tried it, plus the nobles of the empire have lost their enterprising, so the territory of the empire has not expanded for a long time.
After listening to my introduction, Manka said respectfully: "Hello Dear Lord Li Jun, is there anything I can help you with?" If you like something from the tribe, you can take it, and you don't have to be polite to us. "This old boy is not easy to deal with, this is blocking me with words, and asking me to take away the things in the tribe, as far as you tribe is so poor that you can't eat enough, what can I take?
I repeated what I had told Manka before, "That's it, I wonder if you'd like to come with me, Patriarch?" ”
After listening to my words, Manka lowered his head and pondered, as if he was hesitant. I can understand this, after all, although they are called like slaves here, and they don't have enough to eat every day, but at least they won't starve to death, but if they follow me, who knows if I will treat them like I say now, if life becomes worse after I go back with me, and they don't even have food to eat, then they will be miserable. Seeing Manka's hesitant look, I continued, "You see that now that all the underground creatures of the tribe have been killed by me, do you think those underground creatures will let you go so easily?" And even if you run away now, you don't know anything about the situation outside the tribe, you used to eat food supplied by underground creatures, what will you eat after you escape? Do you hunt on your own? Do you grow food? ”
"Master, I am willing to lead my tribe to you." After listening to my words, Manka looked up at me for a while, and knelt down directly at me.
"Well, I promise you won't regret your decision today." I smiled and helped Manka up, this guy is still very good: "Manka, how many people are there in your tribe now?" ”
"Report to the master, now there are more than one hundred and thirty men, women, and children in the tribe combined." Manka replied respectfully.
"Do you know how many underground creatures are still in the tribe's underground?" This is what I'm more concerned about now, if there are few people, let Xiao Dai lead people down and destroy them all now, so as to save leaking the news and attract the army of underground creatures.
"When they went out to hunt down Dogo just now, I silently calculated in my heart that the shadows, evil eyes and cavemen under the ground have all been wiped out by you, and now there should be no underground creatures in your mouth in the tribe's underground." Yo, he also knows the names of the Shadow Eye and the Caveman, and he seems to know a lot, and I was about to ask, but Manka continued, "These creatures that come out of the earth are at the behest of the dark elves who live in the underworld. ”
"Dark elves? How do you know that these underground creatures are at the behest of the Dark Elves? "Where did this dark elf come from, there is no record of this race in "Travels to the Continent".
"I heard from my grandfather, who fought against the enslavement of the dark elves, and finally fled back to the tribe in defeat." Manka said this, with a look of remembrance on his face: "My grandfather said that we used to live in the depths of the forest, and although we often clashed with other races, we were free at that time and had enough to eat every day. Suddenly, one day, a group of people who suddenly came out of the ground, claiming to be dark elves, appeared and demanded that all the races in the forest submit to them and become their slaves. Although the races of the forest united to resist, we lost the war in the end, and since then we have faced the endless enslavement of the Dark Elves and their minions. ”
"What about those high-level demonic beasts in the depths of the forest? They let the dark elves take over their territory? And what do those dark elves look like? ”
"I've never seen a dark elf look like, my grandfather did, but he died a long time ago. As for those high-level demonic beasts in the forest, because the dark elves have always been active underground, they have nothing to do with those high-level demonic beasts, and those high-level demonic beasts ignore them. The Dark Elves have been making us burrow deep underground since they enslaved us, and my tribe was driven to move here a year ago, and we didn't live here before. "That is to say, this group of dark elves has been digging holes outside the forest, it seems that they are really planning to attack the Empire of Light, and as soon as they make a move, they aim at the Southern Plains, which is vital to the Empire of Light, these dark elves are playing a big game of chess. Wait a minute! According to the current digging method of the dark elves, sooner or later my base will be discovered by them, and then my base will become the first line of the Empire of Light against the dark elves. No, you can't let them dig so comfortably, you have to find a way to delay their progress.
"Manka, do you know how long it will take for those dark elves to find out what's going on here?" There are also two forest tribes nearby, the situation and number of people are similar to here, not far from here, if there is enough time, just take them all away, even if you can't take them away, you can't let them continue to work for the dark elves, just think it's a good deed, help them all escape.
"Every ten days, a group of cavemen will deliver food from the surface, and yesterday we just delivered food, and the next time we come here should be eight days later. Coupled with the round-trip journey, it would take ten days for the Dark Elves to find out what was going on here. "Ten days later, if I ambush some people in the underground passage and kill all the cavemen who transported the food, it should be possible for the dark elves to get the news later, which means that there are about fifteen days left.
"Is it possible to reach other nearby tribes from the underground?" If you dig it through, you can directly lead the team to attack them from the ground, so that you are not afraid of underground creatures running back to report the news.
"The place where we used to live is okay, it's all dug up, and that's the only chance we can meet the other tribes. Not now, the passage to the other tribes has not been dug yet, we can only pass through the ground, and we don't know which direction the other tribes are in. "It doesn't matter if you don't know, I just know, the shadows have already figured out the situation around here. However, if the tunnel has not been dug yet, the plan to sneak attack from the ground will be ruined.
"Alright, you can let your people start packing up now, and I'll leave some of them to protect you. I'm going to take my men to the other tribes now, and I'll be back in three days, and we'll leave here at once. "I won't sleep tonight, I'll rush to the next tribe now, and try to get another tribe tonight.
"Your Excellency, please wait a minute." Just as I turned around and was about to gather my men and horses to move towards the next tribe, Manka suddenly stopped me: "When we were digging a tunnel here half a year ago, we happened to dig a gold vein, because the gold reserves of the vein are not very large, and after half a year of mining, this vein has been mined. Because the underground passage has not yet been dug through, the gold ore cannot be transported to the rear through the tunnel for the time being, so we put all the gold ore collected in a specially opened room underground. "Gold mines? I could feel my eyes light up when I heard the word gold. After half a year of gold ore, how many gold coins can it be converted into, this time it is really in the right place.
