From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 140 After Return (Three in One)

To be honest, there are not many things that can be exchanged between the headquarters and the Toulon tribe.

The Toulon tribe has just migrated here and is still in the stage of infrastructure construction. It is basically a stage of poverty. The most abundant thing is the livestock population that is still expanding during the migration;

But meat is the most indispensable material in the headquarters at this stage, and there is no motivation to exchange it.

As for the grain crop seeds that are the first target of the trade, they themselves don’t have enough, so how can they have any extra to provide to their headquarters?

Moreover, the land on the Tianci Plateau was recently reclaimed. According to Nesta’s little understanding of agriculture in his previous life, the yield per mu would not be too high in the first few years.

Of course, they had a relatively long history of farming on the land where they originally lived, and maybe they already had land-raising techniques that Nesta could not imagine? For example, the shaman casters of the Toulon tribe.

But it is a pity that although Boatya met several shamans, they did not have the opportunity to have in-depth exchanges on magic. The Toulon shamans seemed extremely conservative in this regard. Although they were curious about Boatya's spellcasting ability,

But there is no intention to exchange knowledge at all.

The people of Toulon don't know much about shamans, which is not enough for Chuan Ya to form a complete cognitive outline.

Because of these various reasons, the consensus reached with Toulon this time is at best an 'agreement of friendly coexistence', and the results in terms of material exchange are relatively lackluster.

"So, we are providing some food, tools, and weapons, and the Hornhoof species agree to exchange farming technology, right?"

"I also think it has something to do with the south, but they are not necessarily local species. They may just go to the west coast to recuperate after the defeat of the south. But the annihilation of the troll tribe should really be to avoid risks."

"For more than three minutes and less than five minutes, you will experience varying degrees of fatigue; for more than five minutes, you will feel extremely weak;"

"Yes, I understand"

Because the situation there is really a bit too severe.

"You mean... it is precisely because it is injured now that we can successfully expand to today's scale; and the wolves on the east bank of the Black River have also shrunk back to the west bank - within its current hint range?"

"By the way, judging from my observation this time, the number of predatory monsters in the mountains cannot be underestimated; for them, even the wolves on the west coast have to gather their 'forces' to clear them out regularly... So, we are exploring

You must be more careful when doing so.”

"Third, temporarily form an elite team of witch doctors, use the cave wolf as the imaginary enemy, and study ways to kill it in the medium and long range, and the ultimate goal is the same."

Second, the strength of the wolf pack is definitely higher than the current headquarters;

But there are still two obstacles.

First, the existence of the wolf underground is too transcendent;

Judging from the wolf king's ability to intimidate the lord wolf, as a higher-ranking being, it should have stronger control over the wolves.

As an aside, almost all the output of the tribe today comes in the form of ‘such-and-such tree’.

Among them, the agility blessing categories include: Agile ones (10%), Windrunners (20%), and Agile ones (25%);

The power blessing categories include: giant strength person (20%), brute force person (30%), tree shaker (35%), stone crusher (40%);

Protection types include: Bark Walker (5%), Earth Walker (10%), Stone Walker (15%);

There is only one type of charge: Raider (30%).

"Huh, that's good. We still need to continue to explore the gap in the Beilu Mountains, and try to record the entire topography along the line."

In addition, there are also listeners and wind whisperers specially developed for investigation and interrogation.

In fact, what this headquarters fears most is not war, but the fact that the wolves break into pieces and rush into the east coast, creating trouble for them in the black forest.

In this regard, Nesta expressed his approval and asked him to conduct relevant research with Funa.

After that, Nesta found two witch doctors, Jianfan and Roughfang, and asked them to focus on improving their own energy levels for the time being, hoping that the tribe would soon have two more warriors of the same level as him.

"Negotiations with the second-category covenant ministries have also been completed, and they have agreed to bear the resulting 15% increase in protection tax, and this part of the tax will be extracted from each transaction."

Of course, the leadership of the alliance must be in the hands of the headquarters

From his observations, wolves are quite intelligent creatures, especially the high-ranking wolves among them.

The reason why such a complex set of things can be finished so quickly is because it does not require research on materials. The tribe's existing three-level strong steel and wood are enough;

All the witch doctors need to improve is the appearance of steel and wood.

Nesta quietly listened to the discussion of the witch doctors, and was also thinking about how to deal with it.

"The protection standard of the totem can be appropriately lowered to take into account its duration."

At first, Nesta didn't think there was anything wrong with this;

But when more and more trees with fast-growing and high-yielding properties appeared around the tribe after being adjusted through magic, he was reminded of the land fertility problem in his previous life, and began to worry about the land's carrying capacity.

"Could the fire damage be related to the desolate land in the south? After all, the temperature there is really abnormal."

He also handed over several giant wind wolf magic crystals seized from the west coast to several other witch doctors who were proficient in animal research.

As for the remaining 600 plants, they just found suitable places and planted them, preparing to let them grow slowly over five years.

"Your Majesty the Dictator, soldiers have reported that their bodies will feel something at different stages. However, they may ignore this 'warning' because they are too immersed in the battle."

“Isn’t what we should be discussing ‘what to do’? What’s the use of thinking about this!”

"That's enough. Then I'll ask you, the rough-toothed witch doctor, to keep an eye on this matter."

"In this regard, my idea is to develop head armor and front and rear heart armor, and on this basis, engraved protective totems for soldiers to supplement."

"In addition, the dozen or so 'Wolf Kings', the hundreds of wolf lords, and the giant wind wolves and wind wolves under their command are all a huge source of danger;"

"This is the result of opening only one totem. When multiple sets of totems are opened at one time, the time will be further shortened."

"The protection standards of nail plates should be as high as possible but at the same time, the output must be taken into consideration;"

"If you don't understand the cause and effect, how can you talk about how to deal with it? Should you just rush in and chop them to death? Who will you ask to bear the wolf pack's subsequent revenge?"

But even so, the department cannot ignore the ever-present threat in the West Bank because of these estimates;

But as the saying goes, ‘If you don’t predict everything, it will be ruined.’ It is always right to conduct relevant research in advance;

Therefore, Nesta established a relevant research group quite early on to conduct exploration in this area;

The 25 witch doctors who accepted the order mastered all the seed production techniques in less than one lamp on average;

Then, they spent four days intensively manufacturing a thousand armor tree species;

After preparing the tree seeds, they used the remaining six days to ripen 400 of them, giving the tribe the ability to produce a thousand trees per month.

"Please tell me how we should deal with it."

Therefore, the idea of ​​an alliance is feasible based on the intelligence of both parties.

"I understand. Can warriors feel this kind of consumption when using totems? Will they enter the stage of consuming life force unknowingly?"

After leaving the council chamber, Nesta found several outstanding mechanical experts and revealed the city defense crossbow manufacturing concepts he had copied from his previous life, as well as the ideas related to repeating crossbows.

This set of equipment can effectively cover almost every inch of a soldier's skin; and they only weigh 80 kilograms, which is not a problem for trolls and can be easily tolerated.

"Fourth, since everyone thinks that the injury of the cave wolf is related to the desolate land in the south, the exploration of the south must also be put on the agenda. Considering our fire resistance, I will not go there personally.

, leave it to the Farstriders."

"I understand, where is Bai He? What's the situation?"

At this point, the arrangements for everything after returning have finally come to an end. After that, it is time to practice the witch doctor commando team and wait for news from all parties.

Two days later, a temporary commando team composed of twenty witch doctors was established and began a wolf-killing exercise in a simulated cave environment.

There was a sound of agreement, and then the witch doctors discussed other trivial matters for a while, then broke up and left.

But he can only go so far. As for more specific research, these apprentices have to think about it on their own.

"How's it going?"

To be honest, Wolf King is not very confident that he can win with the number of existing witch doctors.

"Well, I think this possibility is more likely. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the Black Forest Punishment is said to be 'since ancient times'."

"The combat soldiers are in place and are now undergoing intensive training and officer training;"

"Full-body protection is probably not realistic, but if we work hard to protect key areas, we should be able to do it."

"Okay. Maybe what you said makes sense."

Nesta was quite satisfied with this, and immediately ordered all the witch doctors stationed in the headquarters, except for the sharp teeth and rough teeth who were busy with the advancement, to set aside ten days to specialize in production.

"Yes, we have confirmed this from the horn-hoofed species. They seemed to have suffered huge losses in the mountains, and then they moved laterally along the mountains and finally found the land they are now on."

Fortunately, the 'fertility' accumulated in the Black Forest over thousands of years has allowed these planting areas around the tribe to have no bearing capacity problems for the time being.

In response, the witch doctors nodded in response.

No matter what, the monster must die, and there must be a few tough battles with the wolves. Only after the monster dies and the wolves are defeated can we talk about the subsequent relationship.

Thinking of this, and combining what the witch doctors had discussed previously, a rough plan gradually took shape in Nesta's mind.

And a month later, the witch doctor team of the project also designed and manufactured a further full body armor;

The upper part is the neck ring armor, the front and rear breastplates (can be inlaid with heart armor), the shoulder armor, the upper and lower arm armor, and the back of the hand armor; the lower part is the skirt armor, upper and lower leg armor, knee armor, and toe armor.

"Yes, it may not be for eating, but to prevent the emergence of super-large civilization forces like ours in the black forest, thus endangering its rule and the survival and expansion of the wolf pack."

After the witch doctor who had explained it to him returned to his seat, Nesta continued,

"I'll tell you what time."

"The above are all recoverable, but once it exceeds seven minutes, vitality that cannot be replenished will be consumed."

To be honest, considering the size and strength of the wolves on the West Bank, it is really a fantasy for our headquarters to completely exterminate them.

And if there are more, it seems that universal armor preparation is not a dream.

"In addition, we discovered another trail in the northeast that can cross the Beilu Mountains."

"clear."

Four days later, the fleet heading to the Toulon tribe on the Tianci Plateau set off, carrying the city-building tools promised by the tribe, nut powder that could withstand ultra-long-distance preservation, dehydrated fruits, and a few steel and wood weapons.

And after the cell research was completed, it was reorganized according to the "research institute" model.

"It's not necessarily risk aversion...I think that killing the troll tribe may be a routine behavior when it is healthy, just like we regularly harvest the fruits growing on the tree."

"Since the overall advantage of the wolf pack lies in agility, then we must increase the physical strength accordingly;"

"In terms of totems, the apprentices have completed the engraving of the totems of the warrior brute force; as for the selection of other totems, the committee did not dare to make decisions without authorization, but has compiled the totems we selected into a book."

At the same time, some witch doctors proposed the idea of ​​combining boats with refrigerator trees, believing that this would be more conducive to expanding the furthest reach of the tribe.

Moreover, he loved wolves very much in his previous life, and he was even more fond of wolves in this life. So in his true heart, Nesta hoped that the tribe and the wolves could establish a harmonious alliance.

"To achieve this goal, we need to go deep into the west coast, so we must find ways to control the dispersion of the smell, otherwise the wolves' overly sensitive noses will cause them to directly focus their hatred on the tribe."

Therefore, once it wakes up, it will be a disaster that may happen at any time to the headquarters.

"clear."

Opening the paper, Nesta saw the names of more than a dozen spells, all of which were spells that had completed the totem transformation during his absence for more than half a year, or even earlier.

Moreover, the limitation of three totem positions and the vacancy in the energy supply side also restrict further development.

"There is no standard time limit for duration. It usually only depends on the user's physical strength. Basically, the more physical strength, the longer the duration. But the more advanced the totem is, the more strenuous it is, so the duration will be correspondingly longer.

short."

As for the dozen or so wolf kings, there is no possibility for our headquarters to defeat them.

But the war between the two ethnic groups is not a simple battle of beasts;

If the existing witch doctors unite to fight against the enemy, their combat power should be comparable to that of more than a hundred lord wolves based on the powerful control of their spells.

But the information he brought from the west bank of the Black River made all the witch doctors feel a little worried.

After asking about its yield, Nesta learned that it only takes three hours to produce seeds, and it can start to produce seeds after five years of natural growth. Each plant can produce 2.5 seeds per month;

If there is magic acceleration during planting, it only takes half an hour for the trees to fully mature.

Among them, he may have a harder time fighting, while Azshara will have a relatively easy time.

Ten days later, the heart armor and head armor were finalized. The former was two pieces of steel and wood the size of a palm (troll), and the latter was a full-face helmet with only eye holes and hearing holes.

But the forces that this department can integrate include not only witch doctors, but also hunter teams, soldiers, etc.

At least, the headquarters has an absolute advantage when facing the wolves in terms of battle formations, weapons, organizational capabilities, etc.;

"First, temporarily abandon high-end individual battles and focus on collective battles above the squad level."

"I understand, thank you for your hard work. As for the follow-up, let's find a way to amplify the 'warning'. Sometimes you have to return it. Don't waste the life of the soldiers because you are addicted to fighting."

"Have you got that kind?"

Ordinary trolls may be able to ignore the attacks of ordinary wolves, but they must not face the siege of more than five wind wolves, or the siege of more than two giant wind wolves.

"It is possible. The two high-level monsters' territories were in the southwest and southwest, and for some reason they began to fight with each other. As a result, one of them was seriously injured and fell into coma. Before it went into hibernation, it asked its wolves to destroy all nearby unknown monsters.

Stabilizing factor. And the primary target is the powerful tribe that the old witch doctor mentioned, and the other tribes are just incidental in the process?"

"Yes, the lower the growth rate, the simpler the totem is. For example, the 'Barkbreaker' totem, an apprentice can complete an engraving in one light after being proficient; but at the level of 'Stonebreaker', it will cost four or five

It’s not strange even when the lights are on.”

"In addition, you must understand the difference between claw attacks and pure power bombardments. The attack mode of wolves is relatively more inclined to the former. Therefore, when developing and selecting armors and totems, you must pay attention to this factor."

Hearing his question, a witch doctor belonging to the Witch War Integrated Committee stood up and replied,

"Yes, after the batch of materials being prepared arrives, several 'old farmers' will be sent over there to teach."

This unit named ‘Soil Research Institute’ has actually produced several achievements of some magnitude;

Therefore, the specific situation of the overall battle cannot be truly known until the battle is fought.

As for the Wolf Lord level, as far as Nesta is concerned, he and Azshara are the only two trolls who can guarantee victory in a one-on-one match;

These are the only major events that have happened to the tribe in the past few months. As for the other minor items, Nesta will learn about them on his own through the prepared files.

"Understood."

"Of course, this is not something that can be completed immediately. The wolf-killing drill must be carried out together with equipment upgrades. When the totems and equipment are in place, we will set off."

"The wolf in the ground almost killed me on the spot with a random blow while unconscious. It was undoubtedly a high-level monster that the tribe had never heard of before. Fortunately, its condition didn't seem to be very good, as if it had suffered a very serious fire attack.

"injury"

Therefore, except for the design of the joint joints, the entire research did not take much time.

"It's very well done. Let me see."

The witch doctor seemed to have been prepared for it. He took out a roll of paper from his bag and immediately stepped forward and handed it to Nesta.

"Yes."

"Second, the large city defense weapons can be left to a few apprentices who focus on mechanics to think about. I will give a preliminary design concept later."

"They excused themselves and said they didn't have enough for the time being and were unwilling to provide it to us. But Fuanya stole a small bag and I dispatched two witch doctors to conduct research."

When he saw these names, Nesta instantly felt like he had grasped the future. The different combinations of totems seemed to be some kind of prototype of extraordinary professions?

Of course, the current number and classification are definitely not enough. There must be more choices in terms of totems;

"We have also explored the upper reaches of the Baihe River. The terrain there is extremely steep, and many sections of the river flow down from a straight slope of nearly 90 degrees. There is no geographical or hydrological environment like the Heihe Narrow Area that can be passed by large troops.

"

"As for the side effects, they are actually related to physical exertion. For example, if the 'Stone Breaker' totem is only turned on for three minutes, a strong warrior will feel hungry to varying degrees at most after it ends;"

The monthly output is 2.5 pairs of armor. If a hundred plants are operated together, the monthly output is 250.

The tribe currently has 2,700 prostitutes. Even if you include the Far Walkers and cavalry corps who do not need to wear armor, it will take less than a year to prepare all 100 plants;

I saw him tapping his fingertips lightly on the table. After attracting the attention of all the witch doctors, he asked,

"How is the expansion of the soldiers going, how is the material supply and totem matching research going?"

So he suppressed this idea for the time being and focused on the present, focusing on the choice of warrior totem.

"Is there a difference in the difficulty of engraving totems of different levels? What are the specific side effects, duration, etc.?"

"Yes, this is what I should do."

"Indeed, it turns out that we trolls are not stupid, but we have survived in the black forest for countless years, but we have never really had a real civilization. Maybe this is the reason?"

"According to the reports, this road is not as easy to walk as the Black River Gorge Road... As for the more specific situation, we will have to wait until the follow-up dispatched Far Traveler troops return."

Especially in the guerrilla warfare mode of 'when the enemy retreats, we advance, when the enemy is stationed, we harass', the flexibility and speed advantages of the wolves will greatly hinder the hunting ability of the troll tribe, thereby affecting the durability of the war.

For example, they found that the excrement of large animals and trolls in the tribe could increase the fertility of the land after processing; but the excrement of moose had no such effect, etc.

When the 'ministerial negotiation team' came to visit the tribe, the old men and women in the pasture area who picked up black particles with clips were actually collecting animal excrement for the research institute.

Closer to home, after finishing the preparation of the armor tree, the Wolf Killing Commandos started the relevant drill again. It may not be appropriate to call it a drill, because it is still in the stage of exploring methods.

Taking into account the power of that blow and the fact that the cave wolf would not wake up easily, Nesta, after discussing with other witch doctors, initially determined the idea of ​​​​"Witch doctors don't enter the wall" and decided to use thick steel

The wooden wall is pushed forward little by little

Today is still a three-in-one chapter and then I should go do my homework.

The unspeakable meeting is over, and the function of talking about this chapter should be restored in the next few days. Recently, I see that all your messages are in the "deleted" status. I don't know if these deleted messages will come back in the future.
