Chapter 35: Lizard Fortress
There are two main crops here: one is legumes, and the other is a plant with a root system like a yam. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the doghead doesn't understand, his brain is not bad: this is something that someone planted here, it must be a good thing! Anyway, now that the aborigines here are gone, it's all ours!
A group of kobolds gathered together and muttered a few times, and then dispersed, digging and picking, and making a mess of an oily field.
"I'm pissed off, you damn thieves!"
It was really unbearable, and a big man suddenly jumped down from the tree, scolded at the dog's head, and carried a cold and shining spear in his hand.
There was a jumbled barking of dogs in the fields, and then, in the blink of an eye, all the dogs' heads were gone, leaving only a mess in their place.
Spear Huma looked at his secret field, and now he wanted to gnaw like a dog, and could only sigh bitterly. In fact, he didn't have the courage to take the initiative to attack the group of "lizard people", there were more than 20 of them! But it was not a way to go on like this, and if these 'vegetable stealers' came a few more times, he would have to drink the northwest wind.
"It's not a way to hide like this, it looks like you're going to have to negotiate with them!"
Hu Ge has met several groups of survivors in the past few days. Now the kobolds are patrolling around and have clashed with several hidden survivors.
The situation like Spear Huma is not bad, and the dog head should not 'steal vegetables' next time, unless there is a new patrol...... Elsewhere, however, several dog heads fell into human traps by mistake, resulting in casualties.
Needless to say, the result is that Niu Jingtian is very concerned about the casualties of the kobolds, how can he suffer such a loss, and directly squat back for a few waves - a group of mourning dogs who do not pay attention to public morality dare to touch the old man's tiger whiskers!
Now, the guy who dares to make a dangerous trap in the doghead's sphere of influence is either hanging on a tree or having his house demolished.
But who is going to negotiate with the leader of the kobolds? That's really a question......
Hu Ge, who was having a headache, suddenly remembered someone-
Where did that broken tooth that likes to pick up rags go? The lizardmen told you to keep the camp in the first place! And, don't think you didn't know you stole the heavy crossbows in the camp, now it's time for you to bear the consequences!
At the gate of the camp, someone shot an arrow out of sight, and Niu Ida was very unhappy.
But there is one more unpleasant thing, he can't read this letter! Now he communicates with the people of the other world, all he relies on Tesfield's linguistic talisman, but this talisman can't teach you to read.
The kobolds were urgently assembled, their weapons equipped, and their ballistas set up.
He still has a headache here, what does this arrow mean, but he is very fast, and he sent an old man over, it seems that it is just a negotiation.
It was a poor old broken tooth.
Under the eyes of hundreds of dog heads, he came to Niu Jingtian tremblingly:
"This lord, I, I, and I are here to negotiate. ”
"Cut!
At this moment, a dog head approached and handed over a large grilled fish.
Ushiida opened his big mouth, revealing a mouth full of big teeth, and in two bites, he bit the whole fish into several knots, and then swallowed it without even chewing.
The old broken tooth was scared half to death, and the next thing was to pour beans into various bamboo tubes.
There weren't many survivors on the side of Samri Harbor, and the most important people were quick to ask.
The others were normal, but unexpectedly, there was a rare talent mixed in among these people.
Hearing that Hu Ge was an old captain, and that he was an old captain who had owned many sea ships, Niu Jingtian could no longer sit still. This is a ready-made "fleet leader" and "shipyard boss" and "trading company boss"!
That upside-down broken tooth rolls aside!
The representative of humanity in Samri Harbor is Hu Ge, and I will only talk to him!
Hearing the news, the broken tooth was always happy!
Hu Ge, Hu Ge, you make more money than me, you look more handsome than me, everyone praises you once when they see you, you also have today! Don't think about pushing it this time!
So he took three steps and two steps to relay the message.
Poor Hu Ge, in full view of the human survivors, could not say anything to refuse.
Niu Ida rubbed his little paws in the camp, this is a headhunter, right? The old man can't do it! No, we have to set up the camp a little more gently, and do our best to obey the fate of heaven.
When Hu Ge entered the camp, the place changed.
The dogs all put on well-fitting clothes, pretending to be busy on the side, and the floor was swept clean. The weapons were all hidden, the ballistas were neatly arranged at the base of the wall, and there were a bunch of wooden boats that they had built themselves. Although the performance of these ships is not very good, it is quite eye-catching to list the phalanx neatly.
Niu Jingtian went out of the camp far away and welcomed "high-end talents" into the door. After entering the door, seeing such a camp, Hu Ge calmed down a lot: it didn't look like an evil creature.
The kobolds don't have a language talisman to use, and their king can only go into battle to receive them in person.
"It turns out that you are a subordinate of a mage. So these ships were also brought by the mage?"
"Hehe, how is that possible. It's all these little guys who put it together on their own, and the mage is busy destroying the demons, and we'll solve these little things ourselves. ”
"About those you have imprisoned......"
"Ahh......h Belch...... A gold coin, that's all!"
Hu Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, things went much smoother than expected.
"There is something I want to consult, Hu Ge. ”
"I'm just an ordinary seaman, Your Excellency just called me Captain Hu Ge, please speak. ”
"I'm just helping Master Mage deal with some miscellaneous items, so Captain Hu Ge will call me Boss Niu.
"Mainly, we've summoned a lot of kobolds lately, oh yes, these little ones you call lizardmen, we call them kobolds.
"We summoned a lot of kobolds, so we had to go out fishing and replenish food. Unfortunately, the hinterland of the kingdom could not be cultivated in winter, so it had to be moved to the warmer climate. I don't know how to grow food now, so I want to ask the locals. ”
Hu Ge thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not a big problem, after all, there were so many wastelands, and he had no reason to stop the other party, so he could also stop the other party from 'stealing vegetables', so he agreed.
Then, Boss Niu mentioned another thing: "The captain really helped the old man a lot, and there is one more thing." When the grain is harvested, I don't know the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month. We don't have much food in stock now, and we need to fish to maintain it, but there are really no big fish in the swamp, captain, do you think we boats can go to the sea to fish?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the homemade wooden boats stacked in a row under the corner.
Speaking of which, the appearance of these boats is really not good - they are not painted, and the wood used is all old materials found in the demolition of houses, and the colors are very messy, put together, in a beggar style.
The structural design is half cottage, half blind, not so much a ship, but a large wooden basin with a keel and elongation.
In fact, these boats are a little leaky, but it's not serious, and Ushiida is not embarrassed to say.
Captain Hu Ge looked at these strange things, and he didn't know where to spray them, and then looked at the fishing gear next to him - fishing nets woven with thick hemp rope, fishing lines, and some bamboo baskets, these were okay, and nodded reluctantly.
"Don't go to sea with these ships, it's no different from sending them to death. But those fishing gears are okay, and with those bamboo baskets, you should be able to catch some crabs and octopus. ”
After saying that, he refused to squeak, and it was really tiring to communicate with these laymen.
Niu Ida, who was deeply hit, silently sent this high-end talent out of the camp, with a heavy heart, for a minute.
Then he cleaned up his mood again, gathered the craftsman department, and started a new round of tossing: "Hear it, these boats get bad reviews, but these fishing gear are okay, especially the bamboo basket." Next, let's put down the other fishing gear and make more bamboo baskets!"
I thought to myself, I was going to go to the river to touch the wreck again, I didn't believe it, the cottage didn't produce suitable things!
In this way, Samri Harbor returned to its apparent calm, and the new stronghold by the Ink Emerald River was called the Lizard Fortress by the locals, and it didn't take long for even Ushiida to recognize the name, and new changes began to take place little by little.
Around the Lizard Fortress, the dogheads cleaned up the weeds, leveled all kinds of ruins, and even started to make wooden trestles, and other duties such as fishing and picking up scraps have never been put down. The remaining dogheads worked hard to improve their carpenter's skills and began to build a large-scale shipyard.
A few locals, who gradually became familiar with each other, began to instruct the kobold in farming. It is close to a swamp, and although the land is fertile, everyone can't eat mosquitoes, so they can only let the land be barren. Now looking at the scaly kobold running happily naked, it is also harmonious for a while.
Samri Harbor is slowly being revived, led by the Lizard Fortress.
There are abundant aquatic products here, just simple bamboo baskets, low-quality fishing nets, and the kobold people are completely self-sufficient, and there is a small surplus to feed the bottomless cattle well fields. Moreover, agriculture began to develop steadily under the guidance of local survivors, and radishes, broad beans, lettuce, and a plant like yam all began to be cultivated, and the future seemed to be limitless.
On the other hand, the shipbuilding industry has also been raised to the first priority under the attention of Ushiida.
The scattered and secluded humans around began to naturally move closer to the Lizard Fortress -- there was nothing to say, there was a large patrol of the dogs, and when they met demons, they would go up to catch them, and it was safe! Everyone secretly ate food from each other, and exchanged some goods from time to time, and the small life was quite 'fulfilling'.
The only regret is that the number of kobolds is difficult to expand, and only occasionally catching some 'wandering demons' is a drop in the bucket.
On the other hand, thousands of caves and hills are still struggling to engage in logistics production, and the war has completely gone away.
