Chapter 280: The Post-War Harvest, The Transformation of the Iron Hoof Tribe (6800 Words)
"Ding~ The troops under your command have won the battle, and you have gained 2000 experience points"
With a prompt from the system, the corners of Li De's mouth twitched fiercely after seeing the pitiful experience of 2,000 points on the system panel.
Destroyed nearly 20,000 centaurs and gave 2,000 experience?
This broken system is really inappropriate, and you can get 1000 experience from transferring to 1 Crimson Hunter.
Nearly 20,000 people are not as good as two Crimson Hunters??
Shaking his head didn't take it seriously, if he relied on fighting monsters to level up, he might not be able to reach level 19 if he killed millions of centaurs in the low hills.
Sometimes Li De is also quite curious, it seems that the system does not encourage fighting monsters or fighting, but instead learns magic, or improves his own strength and power.
It's a pity that everything in "Glory" is currently shrouded in fog, and he can't start if he wants to explore more information.
The battle officially came to an end after the fall of Centaur Chief Morton at level 17.
In just half a day, nearly 20,000 Black Wind tribes have become history, nay, or about to become history.
Because the other tribe still exists......
But this is no longer what Li De needs to care about, and then take care of the battlefield and capture the station of the Black Wind Tribe, naturally there will be the Farrier Tribe to do it for him.
It can't be a war, this large tribe of 15,000 warriors is just standing on the sidelines and watching the show.
"Othe, Frey, bring this centaur back to Daybreak and imprison him, and find two men to heal him before he dies."
Li De looked at Morton, who had more air coming out than coming in on the ground, and waved his hand in a boring way.
By this time, he had changed back into human form again, and the bloodline shackles had re-hidden his magma-like power of erupting blood, waiting for the next awakening.
After hearing the order, several second-generation bloodlines behind him immediately asked the bloodline to bring back the 17th-level centaur chieftain whose flesh and blood were blurred and almost impossible to see its original appearance.
Although this centaur has not been beaten, it is also a level 17 top professional, and this valuable resource is not common.
When he is rich in the power of faith in the future, he will be able to have an additional top-level combat power under his command.
The other party's newly awakened wind bloodline is called the god-given bloodline, and Li De can sense that there is still a lot of potential that has not been released, which can be regarded as a potential stock.
After arranging the Centaur Chieftain, he turned his head to look at the killing bats in the sky that were still flying like a tornado like a storm, and waved his hand.
"Scatter the killing bats."
"Yes,"
The order was given, and the killing bat that covered the sky was soon under the control of the blood mage, as if it had lost its soul, and suddenly fell from the sky, poof~ like a ball of blood and water smashed to the ground.
Some of the dry, hard-yellow ground was instantly blood-colored.
The scene at this time is like hell on earth.
All the Bloods in the sky have come to the ground after the battle.
300 Blood Mages, 100 Vampire Sword Guards, plus 30 Blood Blades, plus 1000 Demon Bats, this is the army brought by Li De.
Although the people did not bring all of them, Sam and the high-ranking members of the Farrier tribe were still a little frightened when they came to Li De.
It was so strong that the blood clan in front of them didn't even fight the Black Wind Tribe at close range, and the tribe they regarded as their great enemies was destroyed like this.
If the other party pointed the blade at them, the farrier department would not have any chance of survival......
Therefore, at this moment, the Iron Hoof tribe looked at Li De and almost all of them were respectful and worshipful.
"Kachar's ......."
Sam, a level 15 centaur chieftain, witnessed the scene of a powerful level 17 warrior who had awakened the Storm Bloodline being picked up and rammed to the ground.
At this time, there was no longer the slightest will in his heart to resist this extremely terrifying mysterious city lord.
Even if the other party is a vampire.....
"Sam, you lead your warriors to take possession of the Black Wind Tribe, and their land and those who are willing to surrender are yours.
Also, take me to see my refined iron ore veins. ”
Take me to see my veins of refined iron...... The meaning of this sentence could not be clearer, Sam's heart sank, and he immediately spoke respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty, in the future, the Farrier Tribe will protect the refined iron veins for you, with our lives."
The tone was firm, as if he had sworn to Li De again.
Li De glanced at Sam in surprise, but he didn't expect this centaur chieftain who had thought of taking the initiative before to be so sensible now.
I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
When the two met, the blood clan had not yet changed jobs, and although the blood clan had the advantage in the power comparison between the two sides, the centaur was still qualified to talk to him on an equal footing.
But now, the Blood Clan has successfully changed classes, the Alchemy Bomb has also equipped the army, and the strength of the Blood Clan has increased more than tenfold, and the Shoes Tribe is no longer qualified to talk to him with their heads held high as before.
Strength is the only thing in this world.
Therefore, if the Farrier Tribe does not change its attitude, it is likely that the other party will lose the opportunity to cooperate with him.
And the only consequence of losing this opportunity is ...... Lion tribe.
He now has enough power to mind building another force that is completely under his control.
But now he was satisfied with the farrier tribe's knowledge.
After all, the Lion Tribe had already consumed a lot of energy in Daybreak City, and if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to build sub-bases everywhere.
The more bases you build, the more energy you will have, and the more energy you will have, the more energy you will have to do without limits.
It would be enough to make the low hills and hills a market for his dumping goods.
"Very well, Sam, we are allies, and the Farriers Tribe are friends of Daybreak.
Daybreak needs a trusted companion in the low hills, and the Farrier Tribe is the best choice.
Trust me, Sam, work with me and you'll get more than you can imagine. ”
Li De was meaningful, "Armor, weapons, and even magic scrolls and magic equipment in the future, as long as you need it, the City of Dawn will spare no effort to support you." ”
Sam had an irrepressible smile on his face, and Li De's words instantly reassured him.
Unsparing praise from the high-minded.
"Praise you, Lord of Cachar, you are the most respected companion of the Ironhoof tribe, and the brightest star in the low hills!"
Although Dawnbreaker City has opened up other trading channels, Li De has no intention of abandoning the Farrier Tribe, especially after Sam's change of attitude.
In medieval Europe, when the Age of Discovery began, one of the things that the old European aristocrats and merchants liked to do the most was...... Go to the colonies to support a group of obedient forces, provide them with weapons and equipment, and all kinds of financial support.
When this power becomes stronger, the nobles and merchants will use it to help them scavenge for resources.
The advantages of this are very obvious, first, they will not be xenophobic, after all, they support the strength of the homeland, and they can do many things that the colonists can't do.
Second, it doesn't take much energy, you just need to give money and equipment, and these nobles don't need to invest too much energy to control each other.
Third, it can be sacrificed at any time, and fourthly......
There are more than a dozen kinds of benefits.
Of course, there are no shortcomings, the ability to control may not be enough, and the local forces may not all act according to the wishes of those behind the scenes......
But compared to the advantages, these are not a problem.
Li De also intends to emulate the strategies of the earth's nobles after hundreds of years of colonial trade in the Age of Discovery.
After thinking for a moment, Li De looked at the centaur chief in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Sam, how many monster skins do the Farriers Tribe have at the moment?"
Forehead......
Sam, who was still in high spirits, suddenly froze.
During this time, the transaction with Daybreak City has emptied the inventory of the Farrier Tribe, and they still owe Li De a huge amount, and the three thousand sets of armor that have just arrived have not been paid for a single monster fur.
There was some apprehension on his face.
"Your Majesty, we don't have any monster fur anymore......
However, we can send our clansmen to hunt right away, and we will definitely raise enough monster furs for you in the shortest possible time.
You just have to give us two months......"
Li De glanced at Sam, who was a little nervous, with a smile.
"There is no need for this, if there is no one, there will be no such thing, and the debts of the farrier tribe will be paid with the production of refined iron ore veins.
I'm not trying to push you to repay, but ...... Does the Farrier Tribe have any plans to trade with other tribes? ”
Open a trade?
Sam was slightly stunned, and looked at Li De with some confusion.
At this time, the old man beside Sam, Milou Hoover, the chief of the previous Ironhoof tribe, flashed a little light in his eyes, and his eyes showed a bit of deep thought and admiration when he looked at Li De.
This mysterious bloodline really has a long-term vision, and he wants far more than he wants.
The god of centaurs is above, and I don't know if the low hills and hills are targeted by such an existence, is it good or bad?
But at present, the farrier tribe has no choice.
Thinking of this, Milu shook his head gently, weakness is the greatest original sin in the Glory Lord Plane.
But at the same time, a different flame slowly emerged in the heart of this old man.
This mysterious bloodline is so powerful, and it seems that his way of acting must be in the orderly camp, and the other party has been following his own rules to trade with the Ironhoof tribe.
So if that's the case...... This isn't necessarily an opportunity for the Farrier Tribe.
He was never afraid of the life of the evil camp, nor of the dark life of the vampire.
As long as you can make the farrier tribe rise, even if you cooperate with the devil.
A bit of coldness flashed in Milu's eyes, the Footrail Tribe had been silent for too long, so long that even the clansmen had forgotten that the original Farrier Tribe was a royal family living in the City of the Wind.
If it doesn't change, the farrier tribe will really slowly degenerate into mediocrity in the future, and even completely lose its former royal demeanor.
What's more, this time they have no choice, since this is the case, then why not gamble thoroughly.
Milu took two steps forward, looked at Li De and said firmly, "Your Majesty Kachar, how far do you want the Farrier Tribe to go?" ”
Well?
Hearing the words around him, not only Li De was a little surprised, but even Sam and all the centaurs around him looked at Milou, the old man, in surprise.
It was as if Milou's opening was something rare and eventful.
Sam was a little nervous, "Father, you ......"
Milou ignored Sam, his vicissitudes of life staring at Li De, waiting for this powerful being who could now be considered to control the fate of the Farrier tribe to speak.
Li De's eyes showed a little interested, this old man ...... Something seems to be there.
"How far can you go?"
He didn't answer directly, and threw the question back.
Milu's somewhat cloudy eyes grew deeper and deeper, "How far you want us to go, the Farrier Tribe will do whatever it takes." ”
Hiss......
Several of the centaurs around them gasped and looked at Milou in unimaginable form, the promise was too heavy.
At this time, Sam didn't speak, looking at Milou's old body beside him with his head raised again, and inexplicably he remembered the figure who took him to gallop through this territory in his childhood memory.
At that time, Milou was the most powerful being of the more than twenty tribes around him—a level 19 centaur warrior, a near-transcendent being.
It's a pity that the erosion of time and the heavy damage suffered have caused the powerful warrior who once touched the threshold of transcendence to fall to level 14......
He could no longer lead the Ironhoof tribe to glory......
But at this moment, Sam seemed to see the once high-spirited figure again.
Taking a step forward, Sam echoed Milou's words and nodded firmly, "Your Majesty Kachar, this is the promise of the Farrier Tribe. ”
When Sam spoke, the centaurs behind him fell silent.
In the Centaur tribe, the chief is supreme, and his decisions are only obeyed by all.
Li De couldn't help but want to applaud the courage of these two people at this moment, it was not easy to make such an important decision in such a short period of time, it was not simple.
The words of the two chiefs almost mean that the Farrier tribe has surrendered to him, although the other party did not say it explicitly, but the entire tribe operates according to his will, what is the difference between this and surrender?
It seems that today's scene of the Blood Mage and the Alchemy Bomb easily destroying the Black Wind Tribe completely shocked the Farrier Tribe.
Centaurs are also worthy of being a tribe respected by the strong, if they are replaced by dwarves, those dwarves will definitely harden their heads with him, and dwarves don't care about bullshit alchemy bombs.
"Today's choices are destined to make you proud in the future."
Glancing deeply at the old man, "I need the Farrier Tribe to open a trading market, and as for the items to trade, the City of Dawn will provide you with armor, arrows, and even food and various living materials.
And what I need first is Warcraft fur, especially high-grade Warcraft fur, and secondly, precious minerals like refined iron veins. ”
After saying that, he paused and turned to look at Sam and said, "In return, I will reward you with a portion of the total value of the market transactions in the form of armor or other supplies needed by the Farrier Tribe."
And in order to ensure the equipment superiority of the Iron Hoof Tribe over other tribes, I will provide you with a full set of rare level armor and even weapons in the future. ”
Weapons?
These words made the hearts of several centaurs skip a beat.
The centaur tribes still use stone spears and bone spears, and Daybreak doesn't provide them with powerful weapons.
Sam had also asked Reed for a purchase before, but De refused due to the scarcity of weapons in the City of Daybreak.
This is also Li De's previous strategy, the Iron Hoof tribe is far from being obedient, just sell their armor, and he doesn't plan to sell lethal weapons.
But now it's different, since the other party has fallen to him to some extent, he doesn't mind supporting him more.
For other centaur tribes, he restricts weapons, armor is fine, but owning weapons is not a thought.
The purpose of this is also to limit the strength of the centaurs in case of situations beyond their control.
This is like the modern arms sale, the most advanced ones are always used for their own use, and what they sell to other countries is to eliminate backward equipment.
Just when Sam and Milou were a little excited, Li De was not finished and continued to increase the weight.
"As long as you are doing your part to my satisfaction, Chief Sam, Chief Milou, I will support the Farriers tribe to be the most powerful tribe in the eastern part of the low hills."
"When the time comes, it's not just weapons and armor, and even I can make you the overlord in the eastern region until the end - build a city!"
Li De's tone was as seductive as that of a devil.
"Yes, build a city as large as the only royal city in the low hills, the City of the Wind, and the Farrier Tribe will be in control of the city."
After finishing speaking, Li De's tone changed slightly, with a profound meaning, "Of course, the premise is that the farrier tribe is good enough."
After all, it takes a lot of resources to build a city....."
This big pie directly knocked Sam and Milou unconscious.
Not only to support them, but even to help them build a city??
These words hit the old chief Milou directly to his lifeline.
The Ironhoof Tribe was once the royal family of the Windy City, but that was thousands of years ago, and they were long gone.
Returning to the City of the Wind is almost an unattainable luxury.
But what if a city is rebuilt?
What about the Ironhoof tribe becoming the masters of the city?
Then all this will be different, maybe the Iron Hoof tribe will really be able to rise again!!
Those cloudy eyes seemed to feel hope at this moment.
Milou took a deep breath, "Your Majesty Kachar, we believe that as an ally of the Farrier Tribe, your promise must be more precious than an artifact.
We are willing to give everything for your will! ”
Hearing this, Li De's smile instantly brightened, and he was very satisfied with this old man, don't look at the other party's old age, but in the entire Iron Hoof Tribe, only this old man has the most overall situation and can see the current situation clearly.
In fact, it is indeed stronger than others, and he who has returned from a great victory is qualified to be the absolute master of the two forces.
The positions of Daybreak and the Ironhoof Tribe were no longer balanced the moment the Black Wind Tribe was wiped out by him.
"Very well, I will send someone to deal with you about this matter, I need you to prepare for this matter immediately after the war.
As for how to build the market, there will be someone to guide you. ”
Li De directly arranged for this, and this matter will naturally be designed for the Iron Hoof Tribe by professionals from the City Hall, and even in the future, he plans to send a few blood clans to stay here to strengthen the degree of control over the Iron Hoof Tribe.
The Farrier Tribe is located in the eastern part of the low hills, close to the Norlan Empire and the barren wasteland, and to the west, next to the Blue Sea Province and connected to the sea.
The whole low hill is an irregular oval shape, about 1,000 kilometers long and 800 kilometers wide, all of which are the territory of centaurs.
And there are at least 7 million centaurs living in this huge area, which is the statistics of the Green City Mage Association 100 years ago, which Sparker inadvertently revealed when chatting with Reed before.
Of course, no one can be sure how many centaurs there are now.
But in any case, this is undoubtedly a gathering place of uncultivated wealth.
Over the years, it has not been without humans who have wanted to establish a stable trading channel, but because centaurs are extremely xenophobic and most human merchants are crazy to death, the outcome is just to look at the current attitude of centaurs towards humans.
When Milou made up his mind to take sides completely, his attitude immediately became respectful.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In the future, no, even now, the other party will be able to control their fate, and the Iron Hoof Tribe must maintain enough respect.
As for the rebellion, the thought was not only on the mind, but even all the centaurs of the Ironhoof tribe had not arisen.
Not to mention the benefits of cooperating with Li De that can make everyone crazy, that is, the current strength of the blood clan can make the centaurs dumb.
What's more, it is the nature of centaurs to worship the strong, and Li De now has enough power to make centaurs submit.
Li De smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, things have progressed to this point, and today is officially over.
I have to say that this battle was worth it.
not only tested the strength in his hands, but also directly conquered the Iron Hoof tribe.
The only thing that was paid was 2,000 alchemy bombs, although the consumption of alchemy bombs made Li De feel a little distressed, but this wave was definitely not a loss, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a big profit.
Three sunset hours later.
The Black Wind Tribe's garrison was breached, and the remaining 3,000 or so Black Wind Tribe's centaurs were all incorporated into the Farrier Tribe, except for a few resistance fighters.
At this point, the Black Wind Tribe, which had confronted the Iron Hoof Tribe for hundreds of years, was completely reduced to history.
After the Farrier Tribe absorbed the centaurs of the Black Wind Tribe, the population broke through the 20,000 threshold and became more and more powerful.
Li De did not pay attention to this doomed battle, but came to the main purpose of this time with Sam - the refined iron vein.
The low hills are all low hills, and the highest hills are only one or two hundred blades high, like steamed buns placed on the ground.
The ground is dry and hard loess, and the year is divided into a rainy season and a dry season, during which there will be a flood of rain, and during the dry season it is dry and thirsty.
The climatic characteristics are very obvious.
Standing on a hill that was faintly green because of the arrival of the sowing season, Li De looked at another mountain bag of black ore that had been exposed by a landslide caused by the rain, and his expression was a little wonderful.
He had only heard Sam talk about the refined iron vein before, but he didn't expect this vein to be so shallow, it shouldn't be said to be shallow, this is already an open-pit vein.
It's just a matter of letting people mine it.
The low hills are indeed not as barren as they appear, and this is not the last vein.
Thinking of this area of thousands of kilometers, my heart is even hotter.
What a good resource point.
"Your Majesty, this is the refined iron vein, which collapsed and landslided here after a heavy rain more than two months ago, and the refined iron vein was revealed......"
Li De nodded with satisfaction.
Refined iron veins can be regarded as an upgraded version of iron ore, which is three times harder than steel, and if it is alloyed with other alchemy formulas, the refined iron obtained will be even more perfect.
Refined iron is a high-grade material commonly used in forging equipment above the perfect level, although it is not as precious as Mithril, it is definitely very rare, and its value can be used by the great nobles to fight for it.
In the beginning, a lot of fine iron was used to forge the armor of Castro and Corso.
With the valuable vein of refined iron ore in his pocket, the operation in the low hills was officially over.
After a little summary, three big gains made him happy.
The first is naturally the refined iron vein, which will continue to provide high-grade raw materials for the City of Dawn.
After passing through the Dwarven Factory, the ore will be turned into expensive equipment and then re-imported into the Low Hills and Hills to earn a large amount of monster fur and other resources for Daybreaker.
The second is the disguised submission of the Farrier Tribe, although this harvest is not as direct as the refined iron ore vein, but it is more than equal to the strategic layout of the City of Daybreak, and the Ironhoof tribe will become the spokesperson of the City of Daybreak in the low hills and hills in the future.
Trade with other tribes, digging for veins of refined iron, and looting for various resources will all be the role of the Farrier Tribe.
The third point is to test the strength of the army of Daybreak.
There is no doubt that the current city of dawn is more than ten times stronger than before with the formation of the army of the Wings of Dawn and the alchemy bomb, plus the blood clan after the transfer.
The easy extermination of the nearly 20,000 centaur army gave Li De a clear understanding of the power in his hands, and the City of Dawn was no longer the city of Dawn where the orcs who fought the Dwarven Valley before needed to prepare large-scale compound magic a day in advance.
Now he has the power to win a major war head-on.
The fly in the ointment was that this battle did not test the strength of the Vampire Guard, the Scarlet Blade, and the Scarlet Hunter.
This makes the combat power of the three professions still stay on the attribute panel, the blood mage is so strong, these professions will naturally not be bad, but Li De doesn't know how strong they are.
Later, they will need to be put to a combat test.
Li De is quite distressed about this, and it is also a troublesome thing that there is too much power in his hands and too strong.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
