Chapter 32: Samri Harbor
However, the wooden shoes in the shape of frog feet are still a little troublesome, so they are oval-shaped, tied to the feet, and made of wood! With the body shape of a dog's head, it is estimated that you can float on the water with light work. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Thinking about it this way, even the ballista can be done with one idea. Build a small wooden boat, and then install a few wheels, and use it properly by waterway!
The doghead is small, and the boat for the doghead is naturally easy to build, but the problem is that everyone has not been able to count for a few days, where can they build a ship? A bunch of half-hung carpenters, with big brains, some build canoes, some build catamarans with two wooden sections in the middle, and some simply go to the rags and turn over large wooden basins, a scene of a group of demons dancing wildly.
The so-called dog follows the owner, after more than two months, the early kobold who was born has already shown a little bit of personality: greedy for money and picking the door, even if the earthworms on the side of the road are not let go, they must catch the mound on their side, and they have too much self-confidence, and dare to go to the guillotine with one percent of the profit.
Niu Jingtian wants to use the swamp as a copy to brush, and thousands of dog heads are also gearing up, the so-called up and down, a little drop in temperature is not a big deal, and now tens of thousands of human clothes have been collected, are you still afraid of this?
As an otaku, Niu Jingtian is still more cautious about going out, and he makes every effort to transform the rushing car and ballista car, and orders 500 dog-headed elites, bringing enough supplies, and after a few days, a large army rushes to the muddy northern swamp.
This time, only Niu Jingtian can go, a few boys and girls don't like the smelly swamp, Xu Ping'an is hard work, he has a headache when he sees the rags brought by Saka Town, and now he is directing the dog head to dismantle clothes, pulp washing, and sorting out other materials, not to mention the metallurgical industry at hand.
In winter, the other world is actually not so cold, only about a month will be frozen, but the local humidity is too great, and the body feels very uncomfortable, a bit like the Yangtze River Basin, the temperature in winter is not low, but it can chill the northerners out of chilblains.
The north of the Thousand Caves Hill is not far from the swamp, the front section is a muddy land, and the scenery behind is much more pleasing to the eye, almost a lake with a very shallow water depth, sandwiched between dense reeds and scattered trees, making people not distinguish things, it is difficult to get down.
It is easy to control the direction by waterway, but it is too much time to use, so I have to let the dog head directly use the car as a boat.
If it were someone else, it would probably be back to the house - completely surrounded by green gauze tents, rowing a boat, and seeing nothing, naturally there was no need to find a way. But Ushiida has wings after all, and this obstacle can't stop him.
This swamp area is vast, just in winter, the trees are few and the grass is withered, and the cow well field with its own eagle eye can be clearly seen several kilometers away from the sky.
With him leading the way, the kobold fleet was very fast, far faster than the land march, and it was also possible to allow the rowers to work in three shifts, day and night—the swamp had its own speed bonus, which was really an unexpected and counterintuitive gain.
It's a pity that no large creatures have been found in this swamp, otherwise it would be very profitable to use them to recruit dog heads.
Two days later, Ushiida finally discovered the first wave of demons, and at this time, day and night, the dog's head, which had been floating on the water, was conservatively estimated to be 300 kilometers away from home.
It was five bullheads, with seven or eight sheep-headed monsters, who were poking their sticks into the water carefully, and they didn't know what they were doing. But it doesn't matter, a dead demon is a good demon.
When dozens of kobold boats came out from all sides, there was no suspense in the ending, these bloodthirsty things didn't need to leave any prisoners, they stood waist-deep in the water, wading through the mud with difficulty, clumsily counterattacking, and were shot into hedgehogs, contributing their own strength to the expansion of the kobolds' army.
The heavenly Ushiida lowered his altitude and observed the nearby reed stalls, and soon discovered the temporary lair of a dozen demons, a grassy beach full of all kinds of flesh and bones.
Although the smell is outrageous, it can't stop Ushiida's strong eyesight, and when he looks at it from a distance, some of the bones inside look like humans, some of them are unrecognizable, probably small demons? But there is a huge skeleton, huge, vaguely like a turtle shell, a species that Ushiida has never seen before, at least one meter five in size, what the hell is this?
I've been on the road for the past few days, and I haven't found large creatures such as crocodiles, which makes Ushiida not very willing, and now that he has made such a discovery, he will naturally not let it go. After taking a closer look, Ushiida thought that this should be a freshwater turtle, which felt very similar to a snapping turtle from the Americas, but it was a little bigger.
It is best to find a living individual, and the demon has set a good example - poke a stick into the water!
The efficiency of dozens of boats is not comparable to that of a dozen unlucky eggs, it took less than ten minutes to poke a waterway nearly 100 meters long, and then, a dog head found that there was something hard moving in the water!
A group of kobold boats form a circle, a little bit of a headache for something underwater, kobolds can't swim, and this thing is lying in the mud under the water, how to catch it?
Ushiida made a move and drove it to the shore!
A few hours later, a poor beast, unable to be stirred up by dozens of sticks, climbed to a small meadow with great difficulty and shrunk into a ball.
"It's a big snapping turtle! I think it weighs hundreds of kilograms!"
There are also similar-looking creatures on Earth - the North American giant snapping turtle, a very vicious turtle that is nearly a meter long, but compared to the otherworldly swamp turtle, it is nothing more than a dwarf.
But the turtle is a creature with a large body, too poor agility, and no ability to resist under the strong onlookers of hundreds of dog heads.
Taking the demons and snapping turtles with them, the doghead fleet did not stop, and chose to continue exploring northward, beating all kinds of scattered demons along the way, occasionally stopping to make up a few boats - because the number of dogheads expanded again.
This batch of demons is extremely high in quality and huge, and almost all of the dragon tooth soldiers planted are tabula rasa dog heads, which is really profitable.
Only Niu Ida sighed again and again: These fallen demons are too strong!
Several of the new demons are very strong - there is a kind of humanoid demon with wings, at least two meters tall, they have horns on their heads, hooves under their feet, they can even surpass the minotaur in hand-to-hand combat, and they can breathe fire and fly briefly.
There are also skeletal warriors in ornate armor, tall and mighty, with green flames burning on their weapons.
If they hadn't fallen into the muddy swamps, and most of them had discarded their armor and weapons, they really wouldn't have dared to provoke the dogheads......
"Go back and get the cannon out!"
Niu Jingtian can only cheer himself up like this.
The climate of the Trem Kingdom is very strange, it turns out that the temperature is higher the further north it goes, is this the southern hemisphere, and the equator is in the north?
Usually Niu Jingtian begged for a living in the cave, and he really didn't pay attention to this, but now that he thinks about it, the sun is indeed hanging in the north at noon, and he is still too dull.
In the past few days, according to the chaotic scale of the map, the kobold fleet has made several large circles, and finally approached the battlefield where the human convoy and the demon had fought.
There are more scattered demons here, and most of them are elites who act in groups, and Ushiida is no longer interested in continuing to find fault.
The kobolds repaired their strange boats, fished for dry food, and headed north, where the journey ended: Samri Harbor, the kingdom's only harbor.
Although it is now in ruins.
A group of people who refused to leave, tossed around the ruins.
The maritime merchant Huge was a respectable captain, and when the plague destroyed the kingdom of Trem, Samri Harbor was not attacked, and he sent his family to friends overseas, and then resolutely stayed.
Desperately hoping to escape from this desperate land, he and his friends desperately managed to send as many refugees as possible across the blue ocean, even losing two of their own large boats, which were quickly scrapped due to overloading and poor maintenance.
It wasn't until a group of winged monsters attacked Samri Harbor at night and burned the wooden town to the ground that it was completely depopulated, and Captain Huge's last big ship was burned to the ground in that tragedy.
Now, he steers his last small sailboat, with a few sailors, silently guarding the ruins. Whenever the 'Hill of the Brave' has new news to other kingdoms, it relies on his vast seafaring experience.
On this day, he was fishing with the sailors on the shore to replenish food, when he suddenly noticed that there was a large group of 'upright lizards' on the shore.
The experienced Hu Ge immediately set sail and sailed into a complex mangrove forest, with dense branches above his head blocking the flying demon's view. Then, in silence, he waited for the night, paddled a small raft himself, and cautiously returned to the harbor to observe these unseen monsters.
Then, he saw that on the bank of the Ink Emerald River, a small wooden barrier was in full swing.
Three days later, the small, but capable 'erect lizards' withdrew, leaving behind a fairly complete wooden rampart with an arrow tower, a wall, and a trench, presumably covered with clay, presumably to prevent fire.
A few of the most courageous locals carefully observed the surroundings - there were still a hundred and ten people living around the harbor, but they were all powerless to fight the hordes of demons, and they all lived in hiding around them.
These people were already familiar with each other, and when they saw the 'Erectus Lizard' leave, they greeted each other.
"Spear Huma, you're here too, and you've been hiding for a few days?"
"Old fur dog, you are later than me, I have seen your little wooden boat long ago. ”
"You two don't argue, Broken Tooth was the first to come, he rummaged through the ruins and was caught. ”
"Oh my God!"
"Poor old broken teeth!"
"Hehe, go tell him for yourself, he's bragging in that camp!"
The guy called Broken Tooth has a hobby similar to Ushiida's - picking up rags.
