Chapter 171: Half-Elf
"Good day, Your Excellency Suren. I'm the patriarch of the half-elf tribe of Grace, and it's a pleasure to meet you. One of the half-elves at the head said respectfully.
"Good day, Patriarch Grace, I heard that you are joining my territory?" Su Lun took a look, and the half-elf tribe in front of him was not large, the number was about five hundred.
The female half-elf at the head looked to be about thirty years old, and although her clothes were not gorgeous, she looked very charming.
"Yes, we are the Elk tribe and want to join your territory as a whole, please accept us. Grace said.
"Of course, Zhenbei City welcomes you to join. Naturally, Su Lun would not refuse.
Half-elves are also a powerful race, after fusing the blood of humans and elves, half-elves do not have the strong spell talent of elves, nor do they have the long lifespan of elves, but their bow and arrow talent is no worse than that of elves, and their spell talent is also better than that of humans.
Because of the fusion of human blood, the body of the half-elf is stronger than the elf, comparable to that of humans, and the agility is lower than that of the elves. What's more, the fertility rate of half-elves is much higher than that of elves.
"Thank you for your kindness. ”
"Ding, the Elk Half-Elf tribe has joined your territory. There was a prompt sound from the system in his ears, and Su Lun looked at the fact that there were five hundred and seventeen people in this half-elf tribe, and the effect of this recruitment order was much stronger than the previous two times. The half-elf tribe of five hundred people can easily pull out one or two hundred longbowmen, and the strength of Zhenbei City has increased a lot again.
"How did you know my name?" asked Suren curiously as he walked.
"Lord Suren, after you defeated the allied forces of the orc tribe, the story of you spread in this wasteland, after all, the orc tribe is the most powerful tribe in the vicinity. Grace said with a smile.
"I was already so famous in the wilderness. Su Lunmei was stunned, and then continued to ask, "What did they say?"
"Does it mean that I am wise and martial, the chosen son, handsome and extraordinary?"
"Well, maybe. Grace looked a little embarrassed, but replied politely.
Seeing her embarrassment, the lord also realized that something seemed to be wrong, and it seemed that the tribes in the wilderness had a deep misunderstanding of him.
The convoy of half-elves began to want to move forward in Zhenbei City, and Su Lun also took this opportunity to observe these half-elves, these half-elves are indeed generally higher in appearance than humans, but they have not reached the point of captivating the country and the city, and it can only be said that there is no ugliness.
These half-elves should not have had a good time, Su Lun saw that the number of iron weapons in their tribe was not large, and many of the arrows in the bow and arrow clusters were also bone, and there were few metal arrows. Some of the half-elves were accompanied by a large bobcat, which was supposed to be their companion.
Half-elves are rich in archers and rangers, and some highly talented half-elves have become druids, and the druid class can use natural spells, and also has the ability to transform, and the strength is very strong.
"Grace, where did your half-elf tribe live before?"
"We live in the forests at the foot of the Lotas Mountains, but over the years, the orc tribe has expanded and is on the verge of bordering us. Grace said with a wry smile.
For Grace's scruples, Suren knew very well that the orcs and elves were mortal enemies, and it was the elves who supported the humans to defeat the orcs who were originally dominant, and directly led to the collapse of the orc empire, and was finally expelled by humans to the wilderness.
The half-elf is a vassal of the elves, and naturally participated in this battle, and as a result, those orcs also hate the half-elves, and if the territories of the two sides border, they will definitely fight directly at that time.
With the scale of this half-elf tribe in front of them, they will definitely lose at that time, and when the time comes, it will not only be some people who will die, these half-elves will also become slaves of the orcs, and it will definitely be more uncomfortable than death at that time.
So after learning that Suren had defeated the orc army, this half-elf team began to consider joining Zhenbei City.
After bringing the half-elves back to Zhenbei City, Su Lun took out a lane for these half-elves to live in, although some were not used to this kind of house, but the half-elves were still happy to accept it.
After dividing the place for the half-elves to live, they will handle the rest of the matters themselves, and Suren begins to negotiate with Grace about the obligations and rights that the half-elves will need to assume if they join.
"The Half-Elf tribe has two druids, forty-three rangers, and the rest are proficient in bows and arrows except for children. "Grace will slowly talk about the strength of the half-elf tribe.
Su Lun smacked his tongue when he heard this, although he already knew that the strength of the half-elf tribe was good, but he couldn't help but be envious, a tribe of only five hundred people, there could be two druids and more than forty rangers, and the rest of the people could be used as archers, this kind of was already a soldier for the whole people.
Half-elves, like elves, also preserve the practice of women as patriarchs, and in the elven bloodline, women are generally stronger than men.
In fact, if it weren't for the effect of the recruitment order, it would still be very difficult for Su Lun to recruit half-elves, after all, many times the race is the biggest obstacle, but fortunately, Zhenbei City showed a large number of accepting foreign subjects at the beginning, and now the barbarians who are the main force in Zhenbei Fort are the best proof.
"I can give you a place to live and live, and I will allocate you enough land, but these are conditional. Su Lun smiled slightly and made his own conditions, "I need all adult half-elves to join the army for service." ”
"Your Excellency, we cannot bear your request. Grace shook her head and refused.
"Patriarch Grace, I think you should understand that if you want to get the corresponding conditions, you need to pay your due obligations, whether it is a barbarian or a human in Zhenbei City, or a drow elf, they have paid for Zhenbei City so that they can get the current treatment. ”
"This is the basic rule of Zhenbei City, if I exempt you from your obligations and give you equal rights, it means that equality is broken, and the final bitter fruit can only be borne by the half-elves themselves. Suren picked up the teacup and leaned back in his chair, while Chrissy beside him stretched out her hands to massage his shoulders.
After a long silence, Grace slowly spoke: "You are right, the system should not be destroyed. ”
"Then tell me, why do you half-elves want to not serve in the military?" Su Lun put down his teacup, looking like he was winning.
"It's not that we refuse to do military service, it's that you ask for too much military service, we only have five hundred, and if you ask for it, there are more than four hundred people in our tribe who need military service..."
Of course, Su Lun knows this, compared to the barbarians, the conditions given to the half-elves are indeed a little harsh, negotiating, there are opinions that can be raised, until it comes to the level that is acceptable to both parties.
Eventually, after negotiation between the two sides, one hundred and fifty half-elves joined the army, one hundred of whom became archers, and the rest were rangers and two druids.
After recruiting the half-elves to join the army, he obtained the half-elf class tree, the ranger class is not much different from the drow elves, but it is the archer class tree that surprises Suren.
After all, the Drow Elves have abandoned their faith in the Tree of Life, and many of the professions that originate from the High Elves cannot be inherited. Although the blood of the half-elf is not pure, these professions can still be employed.
There are a total of one hundred and fifty half-elves in the half-elf army of the system, except for the half-elf ranger, the rest are all half-elf archers, and they will become 'half-elf longbowmen' once they advance, and then continue to advance to 'half-elf magic archers', 'half-elf magic archers', and the top class 'half-elf phantasm magic archers'.
With each advancement, the soldiers will get some improvement, and at first these half-elf archers are basically the same as human archers, the difference between the two is when they reach the half-elf magic archers.
At this level, human archers have the opportunity to advance to Condor Hands, and these half-elf archers are even stronger, they will master certain magical abilities, as for the more powerful half-elf phantom demon archers, the magic ability is stronger, and the attack range and speed have been greatly improved.
If all these half-elf archers are upgraded to the top, then Suren is equivalent to having a mage group, which is no longer a luxury, it is completely crushing.
Of course, it is not easy to advance, the experience slots of half-elves are much more than those of humans, especially when it comes to the stage of magic archers, the experience points they need to advance are already dozens of times that of humans, and it is not easy to save enough.
Fortunately, the half-elves have a long lifespan, and if they are replaced by humans, by the time they successfully advance, it is estimated that their physical strength will have already passed their peak.
For physical professionals, although becoming extraordinary will slow down aging and prolong the peak period, but before there is no advanced legend, the peak period of human physical professionals is thirty-five years old, and once this period is passed, the physical fitness will decline across the board, and the half-elf is different, because with the elf bloodline, their life is several times that of humans, so the peak of the half-elf will last until the last hundred years of life.
In Su Lun's view, the Ranger profession does not have much room for large-scale legion battles, they are more suitable for fighting alone or acting as scouts, while archers are different, a large number of archers form a military formation, and then ten thousand arrows are fired together, and an area can be directly emptied.
If there was a big battle with the orc coalition last time, if there were a thousand half-elf archers at that time, Su Lun was sure that he would directly shoot those orc coalition troops to death on the way to charge. Of course, the Ranger is still very strong in various adventuring teams, has animal companions, can scout, use scimitar bows and arrows, and is completely all-rounder.
It's not that this class is inferior to archers, but this class is not suitable for large-scale team combat.
