Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 149: Retest (May 1st) Kill Lin Hou
After the celebration, once again entered the busy preparations, the battle of the Lin Hou Department has not yet been completed, there is only a small victory in front of him, the strongest Lin Hou has not yet been solved, and a large number of clansmen and warriors are also serving outside.
The first thing to solve is the forest in the valley for a few miles, which is the source of Lin Hou's combat power, and he must cut down that forest before he returns, and get rid of them, Lin Hou is equivalent to half of it.
It was a piece of black iron wood, there were more than 3,000 trees, after the birth of generations of witch disciples, they were all thousand-year-old trees, full of 100 zhang high, the wood was extremely hard, plus strengthened, the combat power was unimaginable.
The Wood Tribe is also very rare, it is an incomparably huge wealth, it is a pity to cut it all, but there is no way, there is a life to keep, there is no life, in the hands of Lin Hou, these are all sharp weapons to kill.
In fact, such a giant tree can also be used by the tree, skyrocketing his strength, but his strength is not as good as Lin Hou, and he stays just to make a wedding dress for Lin Hou, and Lin Hou robs his tree soldiers, which is simpler than him robbing the wood control soldiers.
The ability warrior who controls the wood can only control the living tree, not the dead wood, no matter how high the cultivation is, there are 100 soldiers in the early stage, 500 in the middle stage, and 3,000 in the later stage, the higher the tree, the stronger the combat power of the soldiers.
If he has the same control ability, the low-level warrior is dead in front of the high-level warrior, only desperately free, and has no chance to snatch it, and Yu's combat power is greatly limited in front of Lin Hou.
However, it's not that you can cut it down, the hardness of the black ironwood is really unexpected, an ordinary flesh and bone warrior, holding the bronze plate axe of the tribe, attacking with all his strength, can only break the bark.
And the iron wood forest in front of him is basically three zhang wide, and more than 30 people are hugging each other, and with bronze axes, what year and month will they have to cut? Only the meteorite iron plate axe, the flesh and bone warriors can use all their strength to cut out half a foot deep.
But there was only one axe, so the Wood Witch asked the soldiers to build a blast furnace, smelt copper and cassiterite, and instructed them to refine the sacred weapon of tree felling, the bronze saw, which was no more professional in the effect of cutting trees.
A total of twenty bronze saws five zhang long have been refined, not that they can't be refined, but there are too few soldiers, only two hundred, and the bronze saws are also easy to damage and need to be repaired frequently, so they are really too busy.
Many civilians are already learning to refine weapons, but the time is too short to be reused, and there are coppersmiths in the Lin Hou Department, who can refine pure copper instruments, and the touch is bypassed, but the domestication of the prisoners of the Hou Department is indeed a little slow.
Even if they are starving, many people will not be obedient, unlike the Fire Tribe and the Mountain Tribe, the two tribes are Wu and the leader are all dead, losing their backbone, there is no hope, and they have no choice but to compromise with the Mu tribe.
But Lin Hou is different, Lin Hou is still alive, they still have hope, the resistance is extremely strong, those coppersmiths are even more disobedient, let alone let them help, it's good not to make trouble, it's not useful at all.
Soldiers also need to prepare for war, not to use up all their strength, in addition, there is not much tin ore to carry, must keep some spare, must not be scarce armament, tired state, to deal with the enemy.
Only two hundred vigorous flesh and blood warriors were selected, eighty people with bronze saws, four people in each group worked alternately, and the rest of the warriors were in groups of five, holding bronze plate axes to deal with it, which always had some effect, better than nothing.
Among the alien warriors, the strongest is undoubtedly the Jue that can be copperized, then the stone that can be petrified, and finally the Fan that can be wooden.
The four-person copper saw group can cut down two trees per day, the five-person copper axe group can cut down one tree in three days, and the three ability warriors are even more powerful, and they can cut down twelve trees every day, and a total of sixty trees can be cut down every day.
In less than two months, from the beginning of July to the end of August, more than 3,000 black ironwood trees were cut down cleanly, leaving only a few small trees and seeds that had just sprouted to serve as a reserve army.
The workload of the wood is even greater, the logging can only cut down the plants, but can not get rid of the roots, the underground root system of ironwood is too complex, if there is a call from the forest, the roots can also run out to fight, and the power should not be underestimated.
He wants to control the plants, pull out all the roots, and control the ownerless plants, but Tiemu is a soldier of the forest, and after his long-term use, he has left a lot of "traces", and his resistance to the tree is very strong.
It takes the ability to erase the traces of the forest in order to control it, and the roots are pulled up, which is very slow, and the warrior carries the roots and throws them into the furnace to burn into charcoal, completely obliterating the activity in the roots.
There is a small amount of vegetation outside the valley, and there are tree soldiers who have been forcibly taken by the witch disciples, and the warriors also want to remove them to cut off the possibility of being used, but they are stopped by the wood witches, and they only let them pull out the tree soldiers that spawned.
People who often control the trees must have a deep understanding of the surrounding vegetation, and if they cut down indiscriminately, they may arouse the suspicion of the other party, and if they do not enter the valley and stay in the jungle to fight, their hard work will be in vain.
It is still a plan to catch a turtle in an urn, Lin Wu is unwilling to compromise, so he can only let Tuo replace it, although it may arouse suspicion, but there is no way to do it, the available manpower is also limited, and the new captives are very uncooperative.
Those who are willing to cooperate with the performance, only those slaves who were captured eleven years ago, and those who were captured with Tuotong, and the remaining soldiers, one is too long, and the life in the wood tribe is smoothed and sharpened.
The latter is the desire for life, able to fight to the end, willing to surrender, the desire for life is far beyond ordinary people, as long as they take refuge in the enemy, they will not betray again, because they are afraid of death, very afraid of death!
From the newly captured prisoners of war, we carefully selected about 90 people, gathered a team of 200 people, and followed the expansion to perform a big show.
Mu Wu also thought about whether to domesticate a captive ability warrior, two ability warriors appeared, most of them could dispel Lin Hou's doubts, and finally shook his head and gave up, he was running out, and his life was running out.
......
On September 15, Lin Hou, who was supposed to come back at the beginning of October, returned to the waiting department in advance, the soldiers were destroyed, and he could have a vague sense, but the distance was too far, too weak, only a little touched, and he always felt that something was wrong.
It seemed that something big was about to happen, which made him faintly feel palpitations, and he thought of Lin Wu's instructions before leaving, so he deliberately accelerated the trip, and the journey of more than two months was shortened by a month.
When he left, he took two hundred deer cavalry with him, and when he returned, there were five hundred more cavalry, five hundred tribesmen, one thousand slaves, and two other warriors with special abilities, one in the early stage and one in the middle stage, and the ranks increased dramatically.
It's not that he deliberately guarded against it, but it is like this every year, the waiting department sends troops to serve in the royal department, all of them are brought back during the great sacrifice, and then a new team is sent to change the guard, these people are all stationed in the royal department and serve in the military.
The War King's Department is located in the high mountains to the west, and the large army is also coming back from the west, and it happens to pass by the salt mines in Xilin, so they send soldiers to take a look, originally hoping to take advantage of the manpower to transport back the salt and stone for a few months.
As a result, no one saw it, the soldiers guarding the town, the mining clansmen, the slaves, the dead, the wounded, the descending, had long since disappeared, but fortunately, the battlefield was also cleaned up, and no abnormalities were found.
Even so, it also made Lin Hou's face change, if the tribe encountered trouble and took back the manpower of the copper mine, it was understandable, even if there were no people in the salt mine, the trouble encountered would be a bit serious.
Everyone's mood became heavy, intentionally or unintentionally, they quickened their pace, hurried back to the tribal valley, and finally outside the valley, they saw the cavalry warriors of the tribe, and their hearts were always hanging and relaxed.
But when they noticed their state, their hearts became nervous again, the number of warriors was not large, and they were all cautious and serious, and the appearance of facing a great enemy made their hearts beat violently.
Tuo, who was patrolling outside the valley, instantly showed joy when he saw Lin Hou's team, and the warriors next to him were also overjoyed, and the team sped up and soon came to the front of the valley.
"Father, you're finally back!" Tuo was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior, and a hundred soldiers saluted one after another, their faces full of surprise, and kept shouting: "Master Hou! We are saved! You are finally back!"
Lin Hou noticed the injuries on their bodies, even Tuo's body had a lot of scars, his face was not very good-looking, and he asked, "How did you do this, what happened?"
"Hey!" Tuo sighed with an indescribable look: "Father, the Hou Department has been attacked and suffered heavy losses! Many soldiers have been injured! Recall the men outside, Lin Wu! She has also been seriously injured!"
"What! Where is she!Take me to see it!" Lin Hou was shocked, and hurriedly asked, Tuo replied: "Lin Wu is seriously injured, he has been in a coma for five days, and he still hasn't woken up, go and take a look!"
As he spoke, Tuo and Lin Hou rode a bighorn deer and rushed into the valley, and the other two warriors in the team, five hundred deer cavalry, also followed closely, and only the clansmen and slaves on foot hung far behind.
A hundred soldiers continued to guard the valley mouth, patrolling was originally their task, of course, they could not leave their posts without permission, Lin Hou followed Tuo into the valley, the field gradually became open, and more and more people were seen.
There were slaves working, soldiers walking, some carrying wounded soldiers, some dragging corpses, there were a lot of them, but compared with the previous waiting department, it was much quieter, as if it had just been a big battle.
"Who are these people?Dare to come to the Forest Waiting Department to make trouble?Could it be that the Sea Waiting Department is coming?" Lin Hou, who was walking in the front, came to the valley, and the giant horned deer under him gradually slowed down, asking Tuo behind him.
There were a lot of corpses in the valley, some were Houbu soldiers, and some were dressed in completely different clothes, they should be the enemies who came to attack, but they looked like they were not aliens by the sea, which couldn't help but make him a little puzzled.
"Probably not, they don't look the same as the aliens. Taku's voice came from behind him.
"Who the hell is that, do you have any clue?" Lin Hou continued to ask.
"There are some clues, it seems to be ......" Tuo gradually approached, as if he wanted to whisper to him, the inferior bronze knife in his hand slowly lifted up, and stabbed Lin Hou's back, seeing that he was about to succeed, but he couldn't move forward a bit.
A powerful big hand held the broad back of the knife, Lin Hou looked at him coldly, the other hand was raised, and it fell violently to his chest, Tuo was shocked, and the other hand clenched his fist and met the fist.
"Boom!" After the dull and crisp sound, Tuo's whole person flew upside down, the bronze knife was out of his hand, and he was also out of the deer ride, and was lifted away by the huge force, smashed hundreds of feet away, and smashed out a human-shaped pit.
The dull sound is the sound of collision, the crisp is the sound of broken bones, the gap between the early warriors and the later warriors is too big, even if they don't use their abilities, just rely on the strength of their bodies, under one blow, Taku was also severely injured by Lin Hou.
