Chapter 58: Support
"Do you know why you've been bullied by orcs, gnolls, and bear goblins?" Link asked aloud.
A group of human slaves who had just been freed from the breached orc camp shook their heads dumbfoundedly.
In the face of the oppression of these non-human races, the various human tribes do not know how to unite together, but instead go their own way, and do not rescue each other in case of trouble, they only know to close the gate and live by themselves, today the orc tribe will let you hand over mountain goods and iron ore, tomorrow the gnolls tribe will let you labor, and the day after tomorrow there will be human tribes who take advantage of the fire to plunder women, of course you can only get weaker and weaker!" Link said bitterly.
"Cormier's Purple Dragon Legion is here, you have to have people join the baggage team, find mountain goods and game for the nobles, and the orcs and jackals go south to plunder the south, you have to let your people dig iron ore for them, and they are so tired that they vomit blood to make armor and blades, even a group of goblin tribes can extort a few bags of coarse salt that you can only get back after a year's hard work!
The slaves opened their mouths timidly, not knowing what to say, and a few slaves secretly looked at the orc prisoners of war in the distance, these strong orcs were branded with a triangle symbolizing slaves, and were hammering iron ore under the guidance of the dwarven craftsmen of the commune, watching these former masters fall to this fate, the slaves were very happy in their hearts, but they did not know how to take Link's words.
Link didn't care that no one answered, and continued: "Now that the commune is here, it is to unite with the human stockade in the rocky land, and bring everyone to live, you are all taken captive here from various stockades, tell me about the situation of your stockade." ”
The slaves looked at each other, no one spoke, Link frowned, and the slaves began to tremble and explain the situation and location of their stockade, the two apprentice priests hurriedly recorded with charcoal pens and papyrus, Link was a little relieved, and a little angry, licked his dry lips, Misha gently handed over a glass of water, Link was just about to praise Misha twice, caught a glimpse of the unrestrained shadow man who was holding Niata around his waist, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
The name of the unrestrained shadow people is Balusa Hua, a strong man specially sent by the prince of the shadows, and he made a great effort in the battle of the commune to capture this large-scale orc camp, because the commune battle team plus the production team has more than 600 people, the small village obviously can't accommodate it, Link picked this orc tribe with a population of thousands in its heyday, after the orcs invaded Cormier in the south, and the raid of the Ferin Demon Kui, now the population here is only more than 300 people, and most of them are old and young orcs, but the combat power of the commune is only more than 100 people, this village has high walls and deep ditches, and even has its own blacksmith shop, which can make iron weapons, and the commune may be quite laborious to fight。
Balusa Hua was very powerful, flying in the air with a large number of shadow spells to simulate the plastic energy spell bombardment indiscriminately, the orc priests were smashed into charcoal before they could react, a large number of orcs formed in a dense formation also suffered heavy losses, Balusa Hua bombarded the drawbridge, Link and the Commune warriors swarmed up, the orcs who dared to resist were slaughtered, and the rest surrendered on their knees.
If that's all there is, of course Link wants to hold Balusava as a thigh, but what leaves Link speechless is Balusava's personal interest.
The Unrestrained Shadow People are the natives of the Shadow Realm, and they are inextricably linked to the Shadow City, the shape of the former Shadow Folk is similar to that of humans, but they live in the Shadow Realm and abandon their former bodies and turn into a more powerful Shadow Folk form, and they can naturally use the shadow spells below the second-level shadow spells, and at the same time they have strong physical attack resistance, and they are even stronger than the shadow creatures in terms of the talent of shadow spells, and many strong people have appeared in this race one after another.
The extremely powerful talent makes the character of the unrestrained filmmen very arrogant, and the most speechless thing for Link is the way they express their racial superiority - opening a harem, quite a few of the unbound filmmakers will choose as many partners as possible among their followers, according to some harem members, the filmmakers can transform into human postures, and the transformed body appearance is enough to make the vast majority of people upside down.
Balusa is the only daughter of a powerful shadow lord, this time leading a group of shadow creatures to participate in the war, according to Misha, Balusa has a record of harassing Prince Revala's wife in the Netherworld City, this time she has been pestering Misha, but once Balusa broke into Link's tent with a big grin, Link and Nyata were practicing magic together, Nyata was not wearing a headscarf and was seen by Balusahua, and Balusa changed her goal.
Link watched with some annoyance as Balusa hugged Niata, Nyata showed a look of help, Link was about to step forward, Balusa snorted proudly and hugged Niata and left.
"Prince Revaran transferred this guy on purpose! Link thought hatefully.
Link, who was a little irritable, came to the blacksmith shop and was in a much better mood when he saw the weapons that were being built. There is iron ore in the rocks, this orc tribe previously controlled a small ore vein, but due to the great loss of strength, it was seized by another gnoll tribe, and now only some of the iron ore left before and some iron ore collected in the mountains handed over by the human stockade.
There is a dark river nearby, and the orcs have made a water raft for the craftsmen who had been captured from Cormier, and used the propeller shaft to drive the leather bellows to blow the air into the furnace and regenerator made of clay bricks, and the dwarven craftsmen are asking the orc slaves to decarburize the solidified molten pig iron, and try their best to decarburize and forge the pig iron into steel.
Link shook his head, this steelmaking method is time-consuming and laborious, it is better to use the steel frying method in Tiangong Kaiwu, directly stirring in the steel frying chamber with willow sticks, so that the carbon in the molten pig iron is deoxidized, and the steel can be directly practiced if you are proficient, but it is best to smelt the steel to a liquid state, which requires the construction of refractory bricks and regenerators.
Link watched the orcs on the other side take over the smelted block of crude steel, and began to forge it into the shape of a weapon after heating, Link shook his head, glanced at the water row that powers the blower, and said that it is completely possible to make a hydraulic forging hammer, manual forging is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also the strength and angle of forging are different, if you are not an old blacksmith, it is easy to affect the life and quality of the weapon.
While he was thinking about it, a few scout cavalry sent earlier quickly ran back, reported a piece of information to Link, and brought back a young man from the human stockade.
It turned out that a human stockade was besieged by a group of big goblins, and sent an emissary to multiple stockades, either making excuses and unwilling to help, or the lion opened his mouth to make excessive conditions, and the messenger was desperate when he ran into a scout sent by Link.
Link thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Prepare, let's go support them." ”
