"They may have such an idea, they want to get out of this monster forest and see the outside world, but before the beast tide is over, the survival of the tribe is worrying."

The Native Grand Elder's brows furrowed, but his voice was unusually flat, looking like an old god.

He clutched the black wooden staff in his hand, stood up from his chair, swept his wise gaze to the young native warrior beside him, and continued to Surdak:

"We need more warriors to protect the tribe, so I can't promise you."

The Native Grand Elder did not agree to allow the young Native to accept Surdak's employment.

In fact, he also had other thoughts in his mind: he needed more indigenous warriors to consolidate his power in order to firmly rule the entire indigenous tribe.

Every native warrior was his treasure, and he didn't dare to let these young people into the civilized world, because he seemed to have been to Wilkes City before, seen the prosperity there, and saw how the powerful Grimm Empire expanded their land.

In addition, in the past few years, some slave trappers have gathered in the town of Dodan, and they have hunted and killed the local natives in the Invercargill Warcraft Forest.

Many natives were full of hatred for the Imperials, and this hatred in their hearts would not be eliminated overnight.

Surdak just asked casually, and when he heard the Native Grand Elder directly refuse, he didn't say anything more.

"Then continue our previous transaction, if you have any needs, you can come to Dodan Town to find me, I can guarantee the personal safety of the Dakuni tribe warriors, these magic herbs, monster leather, and magic cores can be brought to Dodan Town in exchange for what you need, and I will live in the barracks station." Surdak said to the Indigenous Grand Elders.

He patted the two baskets of herbs beside him, and felt that the leaves on the sun-dried herb rhizomes inside seemed to be falling constantly.

He hurriedly stopped.

Although these herbs are not valuable in the eyes of this group of local natives, they are definitely the most sought-after magical materials in the Grimm Empire.

The Native Grand Elder sat back in his chair, and the young Native lifted him up, holding a black wooden cane in his hand.

He said to Surdak: "This is okay, and I don't know how long this beast tide will last, a few months, or longer...... We need more supplies. When I have the harvest of magic herbs, I will have the warriors of the tribe send them to you, and I will exchange them for some more weapons and supplies. ”

Holding the hilt of the Blood Crescent Moon with one hand, Surdak lightly turned on his horse, struck his chest with his fist, and said to the Native Grand Elder:

"Okay, it's a word, I wish us a happy cooperation next time."

Seeing the indigenous tribesmen disappear into the dense forest at the mouth of the Dodan Gorge, Surdak took all the cavalry on the return journey, and the way back was not easy either, and several large groups of demonic beasts were now gathered in the canyon.

With the strength of the cavalry squadron, there is currently no ability to hunt these herds.

Sami pulled the reins of his horse to Surdak's side and whispered in his ear:

"Why don't I follow them and see where the passage through the thorny stone thorns is?"

Surdak hesitated for a moment before he said:

"Forget it, we don't need to hide there, let's keep a little secret, otherwise they may move elsewhere if they lose their sense of security."

Samira pursed her lips with some disapproval, and said:

"Where else can they go?"

Surdak looked at the Invercargill Monster Forest in the distance, followed the cavalry team to the Dodan Gorge, turned his head to stare at Samira, and asked her:

"Do you think these indigenous tribes used to live in the Warcraft Forest?"

Without waiting for Samira to answer, Surdak sighed softly and said:

"It's only because of the expansion of our land that they're hiding in the Invercargill Monster Forest."

Surdak smiled helplessly and said:

"They are neither willing to surrender, nor willing to change their original way of life, so the living space can only be constantly compressed by us, they are now hiding in the Warcraft Forest, and they can barely live, although life is a little harder, but they have not yet reached a desperate situation."

He pointed to the Monster Forest on the other side of the hills and said:

"How many indigenous tribes like Dakuni are in the Monster Forest of Phokagir, we can't even count. If they feel that they will not be able to live anymore, there is another way to fight us to the death than to continue to migrate...... This is not what we want, and although we have an incredibly powerful Constructed Knights, I think their journey should be a sea of stars. ”

"So I think that if you want to occupy a plane, you don't want to drive out the natives here, but to assimilate them to the greatest extent, to get them used to our way of life, to let them understand our civilization, to have access to our food, to accept our beliefs, and to recognize the ideals we aspire to."

With that, Surdak wanted to ride to the front of the group.

Samira whipped the horse's stock, followed him, and continued:

"Like the city of Volzhmara?"

Surdak shook his head and said:

"The city of Worimara is not doing a good job in this regard, and they need to have a higher sense of identity with the local indigenous people."

Samira looked at Surdak blankly.

Surdak smiled and went on to explain: "The sense of identity I am talking about is not the usual kind of high-minded pity and charity for the weak, but equality in the true sense. ”

“……”

Samira stared at the knight in front of her, who had hurried to the front of the group on horseback, pulling on the reins of her horse, and stood a little stunned.

"I didn't expect him to think that."

Samira exhaled and felt that the Dodan Gorge in front of her had become much wider.

Andrew caught up from behind, and as he passed by Samira, he said, "You haven't felt that you've been following him for so long, and he's been doing it all along?" ”

Looking at Andrew's back, the half-elf archer muttered in a low voice:

"I'm not a native of the Nanai tribe, how can I feel like this!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but smile, and waved the horsewhip in her hand to chase after her.

The half-elf girl had a thrilling beauty in her laughter, so much so that she had always wanted to wear a hood and was reluctant to show her true face.

Riding on a horse, the breeze blowing.

Before she knew it, she lifted the silk hood from her head, revealing a head of silky blonde hair flying in the wind......

……

The herd of beasts in the Warcraft Forest wanted to avoid the ghostly red ants, and with the memories imprinted in their lives, they wanted to migrate south, but the passage of the Dodan Gorge was blocked by the Grimm Empire with a high wall, and all the beasts were crowded in the narrow Dodan Gorge.

Now some of the monsters have also entered the canyon one after another, so that the Dodan Canyon, which has always been very quiet, seems to be crowded.

The townsfolk have two very different opinions about the beast tide, and many of the Imperial immigrants do not want to live here.

They were worried that once that wall couldn't stop the demonic beasts outside, everyone in the town would become the rations of the demonic beasts.

They just came here to start a small business and make their lives more nourishing.

It's not that they came here to die, so these days, some shops are closing one after another, and many merchants have left the town of Dodan.

On the contrary, the vast majority of indigenous people choose to continue to live here, in fact, they have nowhere to go.

Although they have almost nothing, there is at least a sheltered wooden house here, family and friends willing to hug each other to keep warm, half a bag of groceries in the kitchen, and a string of rabbits hanging on a clothesline when you open the window.

The nobles wanted Wilkes to send more troops, and they didn't want to have an estate here. The night turned into a pile of bubbles.

In recent days, Andrew has led a cavalry battalion to always run to the Dodan Gorge to hunt.

With the influx of demonic beasts into the Duodan Canyon, the types of demonic beasts hunted have also become richer, but the area of activity has been continuously compressed, and gradually only a few kilometers outside the northern city wall.

Once they encountered a large group of demonic beasts rushing up, they quickly approached the north city wall.

As long as you run within the range of the bed crossbow, it is safe, and those monsters rush up, and the bed crossbow on the city wall will unceremoniously shoot at the longest distance.

Of course, the prey thus obtained also belongs to the city guard brigade.

These bed crossbows were made by the Imperial Capital Ordnance Workshop of the Grimm Empire, and usually a bed ballista was roughly divided into three parts: the base, the pitch frame, and the crossbow body.

The base is a heavy-duty four-wheeled flatbed, which is mainly used to carry the pitch frame and crossbow body.

Craftsmen would inlay magical rune plates such as 'Solid' and 'Wind Resistance' on the axles at the bottom of the pedestal, so that the entire bed crossbow would be more durable and less labor-intensive when dragging it.

The pitch frame is the control system of the bed crossbow, and this part has two winches that control the left and right rotation and the upper and lower rotation.

The crossbow body is the most important part of the bed crossbow, and the magic crossbow arm is the most valuable component of a bed crossbow, and a giant crossbow bolt of up to three meters can be placed in the arrow trough in the middle.

A bed crossbow is usually operated by two soldiers, one of whom needs to constantly adjust the angle of the bed crossbow's fire.

The other soldier stood in the seat behind the crossbow, and was responsible for pulling the bowstring of the bed crossbow with a winch, and using words to guide the soldiers below to adjust the angle of fire.

The soldier who is aiming also needs to have a good foundation in archery.

Recently, the soldiers of the city defense guard brigade have to take turns to operate the bed crossbow every day to shoot the demonic beasts attracted by the cavalry, so that the accuracy of their control of the bed crossbow has been significantly improved.

Many monsters possess rudimentary wisdom and will not rush into the range of the crossbow on the bed of the northern city wall at all, only some greedy and bloodthirsty moonblade fire wolves will follow behind the cavalry, trying to bite off a large piece of flesh from the cavalry.

In the past few days, Surdak, Andrew, Samira, and Gulit have all taken turns to lead their cavalry out of the northern city wall and hunt the demonic beasts in the canyon.

Surdak stood on the ramparts, and in the distance a group of cavalry stepped over the barren meadows in front of the gorge, carrying a cloud of dust behind them.

The vegetation here has been gnawed by the herbivores to expose the loess layer, and a large group of demonic beasts have overwhelmed from behind, in addition to a large group of moonbladed fire wolves and maned beasts, there are also several high-black-backed ice-horned rhinoceros in the herd, followed by three slow-swallowing subway-backed man-bears.

There was a sound of a winch turning from this side of the city wall, and Surdak held the wall battlement with both hands, and said to Andrew beside him, "Why did you attract so many?" ”

Andrew was also a little surprised, and hurriedly carried the butcher's battle axe, and quickly ran down the city wall, preparing to pick up the cavalry outside the city.

On the canyon grass below the city walls, you can still hear the shouts of Agulithim, and I don't know what kind of excitement he has in his heart......

Samira stared at the herd of beasts that were gradually coming into range, and when she saw the cavalry running into a safe distance, she ordered: "Shoot!" ”

Suddenly, a row of thirty-five giant crossbow arrows flew straight out of the city in a buzzing sound, and these giant crossbow arrows instantly crossed a distance of nearly a thousand meters, and the huge crossbow arrows nailed the row of moonblade fire wolves in front to the ground.

The remaining beasts were inspired to be ferocious, and continued to rush forward past these giant crossbow arrows.

The pair of cavalrymen quickly converged under the city walls, and through the narrow opening of the northern wall, Gulitham followed at the back of the group, with an unconscious cavalryman under his armpit.

Just as he was running, the cavalryman's horse accidentally stepped its front legs into the rabbit's nest dug by the otter rabbit.

The horse's leg was broken, and the knight was lifted off the horse, falling to the ground and unconscious.

If it weren't for Gulitum grabbing him from the ground at a critical moment, it is estimated that he would have been torn to pieces by the group of demonic beasts behind him at this moment.

Now that there was still a breath of relief, Andrew was the last to run into the city gate, and the city guards almost pressed against Andrew's back to drop the iron fence.

As if this was the case, several moon-bladed fire wolves that were biting behind him also took the opportunity to rush in, but they separated the other demonic beasts from the outside of the iron fence, and a large group of veterans wearing full-covered metal armor rushed up from both sides with spears in their hands, and cooperated with Gulitham, who stopped, to stab the moonblade fire wolves who rushed in one after another.

There is such a large space in the city gate cave, and even if the bodies of these moonblade fire wolves are flexible, they can't dodge these spears.

However, the demonic beasts outside the fence spewed out flame knives towards the city gate hole through the iron fence, and a row of veterans hurriedly raised the shields in their hands to block this wave of magic, and a group of people quickly withdrew from the city gate hole.

The city guards on the city wall drew their alloy bows to the full, and the cavalry on the city wall fired a rain of arrows with a five-shot crossbow.

The demonic beasts gathered under the city left with their tails between their legs.

Andrew ran to the city with an angry face and asked the cavalry squadron leader who was surviving from the disaster, "What's the matter, don't you die?" ”

The cavalry squadron leader didn't speak, and Andrew knew that it was probably the ogre Gullitm who was to blame, and Gullitm was also very good, so he didn't defend himself at all, but just smirked at Andrew's 'hehe'.
