Chapter 81: Prelude to War

Time doesn't stop, it's been almost two months since the Larry brothers brought back more than 1,000 people, and during this time, the entire area of Youmas, especially the surrounding area of Yuanwang Town, has changed dramatically.

A tributary river flows out of the Heishui River, circles the town of Yuanwang, and then flows in the other direction, originally in the Heishui River presented a pitch-black drinking water, flowing in this not deep waterway, it is rare and extremely clear, and thanks to the abundant production of the Heishui River, the fish here have always been sufficient, enough for the population of more than 2,000 people in the town to eat.

At the end of this waterway is a small lake, and as the waterway is connected, the lake level of the lake, which has been almost exhausted, quickly rises, and on the waterway leading to the small lake, a waterwheel with a height of more than 5 meters slowly turns, transporting the water to a higher place, falling into another waterway, and continuing to flow farther away.

As far as the eye can see, you can see five waterwheels standing there, of different heights and sizes, and the workmanship is not exquisite, even rough, but full of a primitive beauty.

Whether or not involved in these projects, when they see this, they will have some strange emotions, although not as exaggerated as the first group of inhabitants when they saw Yuanwang Town, but they are also full of surprise and pride, until this moment, they have a real sense of identity with this land.

Seeing that the popularity value had increased considerably, Langdon decided to convert soldiers from these people again, the number is not much, after all, it is now a period of production and construction, and a large number of workers are needed, so after some selection, 100 archers were gathered, excluding the goblin knights and lizardmen spearmen, the number of remaining soldiers reached more than 130, and the total number of soldiers exceeded 200.

Moats, archers, Langdon did all this, the main purpose was just in case, after all, he was the son of the mother of Isis, the mother who had made her fortune by war and had come all the way to this point, and she was quite famous in a considerable area of the neighborhood, so to speak, no one wanted to mess with this woman unless necessary, a woman who was like a madman once she set foot on the battlefield.

Therefore, despite what Langdon has done, in his opinion, even if those families want to deal with him, they will at most send a team of up to 100 or so people to infiltrate the territory as before, and no matter how large-scale war is possible, because it is likely to attract a crazy blow from the Isis Mistress.

And recently it was considered a safe period by Langdon, firstly, the 100 people sent by the other party infiltrated the raid force and were wiped out by his lizardman spearman, and secondly, Lilith and the beautiful woman went on a killing spree because of evolutionary reasons, and cleaned up all kinds of spies in the Mas area, and those families who had various schemes for this place suffered such losses, and it should be stable for a while.

This is also the reason why he dared to send so many people out to work, but only sent a few dozen soldiers to guard it.

The fact is that the past two months have indeed been very calm, and the surrounding forces are indeed a lot more honest, but the actual situation is a little different from what Langdon guessed, some forces are indeed honest, but some forces ......

Honestly, no, they were just gathering strength and preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Langdon, and what Langdon thought was the least likely to happen was not far from him.

Among the last group of more than 200 people who migrated, there were about 200 black dwarves, and less than 20 dark elves, originally when they officially fell out and ran away in conflict with the Mara family, the number of black dwarves and dark elves was basically the same, however, compared to the black dwarves who were more pure and stable in their thinking, those dark elves thought more, especially after they were used to living a luxurious life, and suddenly became poor and hard, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable, so there were constantly dark elves leaving, until the end, there were only those 17 people leftใ€‚

Because of their more mature and calm mentality, they finally chose to stay, among all the dark elves, they are not the smartest, nor the best, but, after these 100 years of training, especially living among the black dwarves who are 10 times their size, not only to face external threats, but also to bear the pressure from within at all times, all of this has made them.

17 dark elves, 17 black iron pinnacles, and the important thing is not their strength, but the skills they have, it can be said that each of them has a variety of skills, such as 4 of them, especially good at stealth, reconnaissance and other techniques, Langdon's best talent Ibaka is a rookie in front of them.

17 people, all of them.

And now, in Langdon's territory, they have finally escaped from that sea of suffering, although there are still not many dark elves here, plus Langdon's half-blooded is only 6 more, but the one in the ruling class is the dark elf, which makes them feel a completely different feeling, as if they are reborn.

Therefore, among all of them, the 17 dark elves who have the strongest sense of belonging here are the 17 dark elves, and they even took the initiative to find Langdon for a communication soon after they arrived, described their situation in detail, and took the initiative to take on some things.

The experiences of these years cannot make them smarter, but they are enough for them to make more correct choices in the face of various things.

In the face of such a force, Langdon certainly could not have missed it.

The first thing he did was to set up two small strongholds outside Yuanwang Town, and sent a few dark elves and a small number of soldiers to garrison there, these two strongholds could control most of the passages to Yuanwang Town, and could be used as a security outpost for Yuanwang Town.

This will prevent you from having to do the last 100 enemy sneak raids.

That time, if it weren't for the unexpected encounter of the dark elves, plus Langdon triggered a mission, the 100 dark elves would really succeed, although they may not be able to kill Langdon, but they can definitely destroy the test field, and by the way, the base of his time, the bunker, suffered a huge blow.

The other dark elves were assigned their own jobs, and in addition to a tavern and Victor's blacksmith shop, a commercial building finally appeared in the town, an alchemy workshop.

The sentry post was built temporarily, and the living environment was naturally not as good as that of Yuanwang Town, but a few dark elves did not have the slightest resentment, and the environment was much better than what they lived in before.

After lunch, the two Dark Elves left the outpost with five lizardmen soldiers as usual to take over the patrol of another team, and just as they were passing through a needlestone forest and approaching the Blackwater River, they unexpectedly appeared.

With infrared vision, they easily observed that not far from here, a troop was slowly moving forward.

It wasn't Langdon's troops, they were much purer and outnumbered, numbering hundreds.

And the goal of their progress is Yuanwang Town!
