From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 158 The train team is about to return

On the same day, the four trolls who had finished their deliberations took a rewritten application form and came to the interrogation room in the base again.

The communication room always has four apprentices who depict the totem of the Windspeaker. Their jobs are either in the factory or in various research laboratories. They come here just for rotation, and it is more like a part-time job.

Since the Wind Talker Totem and 'Code Translation' were launched and matured day by day, such an organization has been established in every stronghold of the Teeth Department, playing a role in intelligence communication.

When the apprentice saw the arrival of Kunna and his party, he knew that there was work to do again, so he greeted him less enthusiastically and asked,

"Come for a summons, but we have to wait a little longer. We have a big job here that hasn't been finished yet."

Since the base is newly established, all kinds of work are not yet completely on track, so many things here have to be sent to the headquarters frequently to receive guidance from the executive government. Therefore, the "public to public" business carried out in the communication room every day is quite considerable.

busy.

Kunna nodded and sat down on a chair nearby. Her three 'boyfriends' also sat next to her.

"The seventh item is a message from the 'Warehouse Management Office', saying that the extra tracks have filled the existing warehouse and asking how to deal with it."

"I will send the first half, Malekista will send the second half, and Sangasta and Selates will translate it for us."

"Item 8"

"Could it be the lord wolf? Or the wolf king? And can moose egg No. 3 directly produce a leader-level moose?"

"Do you have any information?"

Isido said goodbye, then waved his hands with a smile, and walked out of the city with Volesta. They were going to the station and took the train heading west to the cave base.

Nesta simply observed it for a moment, then sent it to a witch doctor who specialized in moose research, and ordered,

"Take good care of it and make sure it survives until we return to our base."

"Forget it. Don't wait for us. Separate a few moose and go to the front of the convoy on their own. Return to the headquarters as quickly as possible and complete the follow-up research before it dies."

What came in was a half-naked male. Just by looking at the lines on his body, Trista could tell that he was a 'messenger';

Because he knew the 'Windrunner' totem, and even carved it for the members of the Far Walker Force with his own hands.

Although the Far Walker troops also have this totem, the Far Walkers often have three different totems engraved on them, so the lines on their bodies are more complicated.

"Marriage applications are really rare."

As a result, as the train moved forward, several bridges that were widened to 90 meters suddenly stood in the black forest.

~~~~~

Along the way, the main focus of Nesta and the rough-toothed witch doctor has never left the ongoing experiment. The vines connected to the 'eggs' on the giant tree extended backwards, and their ends were placed on the trunk to temporarily build their own.

in a house.

Nesta nodded and asked Coarse Tooth,

"What's going on with the two number two eggs?"

~~~~~

In a simple makeshift laboratory, the witch doctors separated the egg belonging to Moose No. 2 from the tree and manually broke the egg shell;

From inside, a wet and dying moose calf emerged.

To this, another witch doctor responded.

One is the 'wood throwing cart', which can throw steel and wooden balls of different specifications far away.

In response to these problems that have been discovered, the ruling government plans to establish a new department to coordinate, but for now it only exists on paper.

"What is the captain going to do in the future? Have you considered the matter of farming? Should our two production teams find a nearby place?"

A few days passed quickly. During this period, the witch doctor who had returned to the tribe with the calf had already arrived at the headquarters. At this time, he had already dived into the ice crystal microscope room and observed the target tissue cells with a high-power microscope.

sample.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Trista stopped what he was doing and asked,

But the question is, in today's world where the teeth are in full swing, where is the opportunity to carry out a city defense war?

The second item is not a tool, but a tactic.

But he couldn't think of an answer, so he could only put it aside for the time being, and then told the troll next to him,

Along the way, the tracks are basically straight and there are very few places where you need to make a detour;

The only "river section" that was more troublesome was successfully repaired after the witch doctors went to lay the bridge.

Looking at all this, a witch doctor said with emotion.

In desperation, he bent down and picked up the application form from the wastebasket, unfolded it, and then tore it into pieces 'viciously'.

"I feel relieved now."

Now, Trista has a new idea, preparing to design a 'city defense' machine that can automatically project re-throwing spears.

Just as he was working on his office work and writing and drawing design drawings on paper, a knock on the door came from outside the house.

"Hahaha! Let's go, old captain!"

After several witch doctors who hadn't seen each other for a long time hugged each other, they each stood on a section of the bridge and cast spells simultaneously.

After walking out of the interrogation room, Kunna, who never liked the depressing atmosphere, came to the wide and somewhat inexplicable street. With her back to the office, she stretched for a long time and finally felt a lot more relaxed.

On the way, Nesta thought so in her heart after suddenly remembering what Zeng Jin Jianya had reported.

"If we take it slow and start it immediately, the production team may complain. They are already a little tired of such a long construction period."

Nesta nodded, said "Thank you", and then turned his attention back to the eggs that had not yet been produced.

"You know, my goal has always been the Farstriders. I will join the army when the next recruitment expansion happens. By then, the production team may not be able to stay, so how can I apply for farmland?"

Trista and his friends came up with a way to siege the city, inspired by the moose-pulled train;

It is a tactic that uses a large number of lassoes and relies on giant magic power or moose power to directly pull down the defender's settlement wall.

And the ‘Wolf II’ that Nesta has been waiting for has finally arrived;

With the help of witch doctors, a little female wolf broke open the egg shell with difficulty and breathed the outside air for the first time.

Because of this, a change that seemed funny but turned out to be serious upon closer inspection began to take shape.

When the track was first built, the operation mode of the train was still in the process of extensive exploration. Basically, it would start the train upon application, and the transportation of goods and passengers would also be mixed together;

Sometimes, because the communication between the bases on both sides is not timely and the track is single-track, two trains traveling in opposite directions will bump into each other in the middle of the track, and then one of them has to change the direction of the moose's towing, and then go all the way.

' to return to the starting point.

"I can't see the deacon for four or five days. No matter what, he is busy in other departments."

"Okay, let's get ready and dig out Moose No. 2 first."

"Yes. After all, there is still a shortage of labor. Just one project can occupy such a large proportion of the labor force."

The apprentice who asked the question took it, pulled it open and glanced at it briefly. After seeing what was written on it, he felt like laughing, but his physical exhaustion overwhelmed all the desire to complain;

While passing it over, he pursed his lips towards the bag and said,

"Look, there are so many more to give away."

Feeling that she had been fooled, Trista crumpled the application into a ball, threw it into the wastebasket again, and angrily returned to sit down;

He picked up the quill dipped in the ink bottle and prepared to start the interrupted calculation again, but found that he couldn't concentrate.

"I heard that the rules will change this time. It may no longer be the same as the previous two-choice one between the hunting team and the warrior team."

It's just that when the train transporting giant trees passes through the river, the witch doctors still need to widen some bridges again.

Seeing this, Kunna whispered to her companions.

"Stop talking nonsense and talk to yourself!"

After verification, the research institute found that this kind of wood-throwing cart can cause devastating blows to the outer walls of settlements of primitive tribes in the East;

If replaced by the newly developed "wooden stone concrete city wall", although it cannot cause too serious damage to the wall, it can throw the projectile high over the city wall, causing a direct impact on the guards on the city wall or the buildings in the city.

Because of the emergence of "wood, stone and concrete", the Yabu began to "update" the city walls in various locations in the Black Forest;

Although a large amount of labor was dispersed to the west, the existing trolls in the east also focused on clearing up wasteland, so the construction of the new city wall was somewhat slow.

The only pity is that the wooden cart is too bulky;

In the East where there are no tracks and roads, the preparation and transportation of both the vehicle itself and the steel and wooden projectiles will be quite troublesome.

After bidding farewell to the correspondent, Trista opened the rolled up paper and looked at the content written on it.

Among them, he and several other like-minded apprentices were the most interested, and even specially applied to establish relevant research institutes.

"Item 9"

"Oh, I understand." Sangasta responded and really didn't say anything more.

Kunna smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and played with Volesta's fingers.

Not only that, if it is used in field battles, there is a high probability that a troll hit by a giant steel and wooden ball will directly die;

The train underwent a minor modification at Base No. 2, and a few more carriages were added at the rear to allow the witch doctors and accompanying deacons to handle matters more conveniently;

The witch doctor put down the deer calf in his arms for the time being, jumped off the slow-moving train, and ran to the front to prepare the new carriage.

Nesta glared at the person who answered, why did he say it so harshly?

The troll shrank his neck and understood what Nesta meant. Then he left and headed to the carriage where the rear intelligence team was located.

In this way, when Nesta and his party were still on their way back, Kunna's 're-application' was sent to the marriage registration office of the headquarters through the 'message department', and once again it just disappeared without causing many waves.

So, he simply nodded, turned around and said to the colleagues responsible for cooperating,

Another apprentice, the one who had previously assigned the work, interrupted him as he wanted to continue speaking.

"Then let's wait and see, wait until the ruling government issues a formal notice."

The witch doctor took it and carefully held it in his arms, preparing to take it to the car behind to take care of it.

Trista raised his head in confusion. He couldn't figure out why there were visitors to this office where there were almost no trolls.

Although this tactic is simple, it is quite effective against those primitive settlements in the east that do not have qualified city walls.

Yes, it can be basically confirmed here that Trista and his like-minded friends are actually steadfast "violent unificationists";

They advocate the use of military force to quickly destroy all 'allies'.

The apprentice's name is Trista, and he really likes this leisurely job;

"No, it's a 'private-to-public' business coming from the second branch base. It's your office. Am I right?"

After everything was ready, as the apprentice waved his whip, the carriage moved faster and faster under the pull of five moose, and soon left the giant wooden convoy far behind.

"That's great. The work in the communication room is so busy that I don't want to do it anymore. Okay, put this away, I have to leave."

Because the content recorded on it was exactly the same as the application form that he threw away not long ago.

"Damn it! This is a waste of public resources! Don't these fools know how to read the provisional regulations on marriage? It clearly says 'one female and one male'! Why don't they have any brains?"

The witch doctors were extremely happy, not only because the cubs survived, but also because what they produced was far more shocking to the trolls than they had thought before.

"The single line is still a bit troublesome. At least there needs to be a parallel line to be able to use it."

At this time, several witch doctors from the remaining tribes had appeared on the Heihe Bridge;

Together with several army witch doctors who jumped off the train and arrived ahead of the convoy, they began to widen the Black River Bridge so that the giant wooden train could pass directly.

Some of them are still working on increasing the number of ‘vine umbilical cords’ in the hope of further increasing the number of experiments that can be conducted simultaneously;

But Nesta obviously didn't know about these situations at this time, and he was concerned about other things.

'Why hasn't the Wolf King come yet?'

But no matter how slow it is, the project has begun after all, so the restless apprentices began to design targeted weapons.

Therefore, their weapon design ideas are all based on primitive settlements as imaginary enemies, and they are thinking about how to destroy settlements and kill trolls faster and better.

Fortunately, she didn't say anything unpleasant, so the apprentices didn't say much, but one of them sneered in a low voice,

"Haha. 'Easy'?"

"good"

Therefore, it is not bad when used for city defense, and can be obtained through local factories and steel woods;

However, in positional warfare and expeditionary warfare, without the support of witch doctors, it is basically difficult to put it to practical use.

Volesta, who followed closely behind, suddenly asked at this time.

"I thought these office-based apprentices would be relaxed, but I didn't expect them to be so tiring."

The responses of the other apprentices varied, but their tone was full of exhaustion.

While talking, the two trolls came forward and hugged each other heavily, and then the other two also hugged each other.

"Little follower, you have to take good care of Kunna?"

"The one sent to the Marriage Registration Office is probably the last one today. Please work harder."

But no matter how low her voice was, it couldn't escape the troll's overly sensitive ears, and it was heard by the apprentices on the spot.

"Please come closer," Trista said anyway.

"Um"

"Your Excellency, Dictator, I don't think they would want to come. Do you mean to force the invitation?"

"clear."

Afterwards, an apprentice controlled the single-car train to drive slowly ahead, while the witch doctor came back alone, taking the calf with him and turning back again;

In addition, there were two squads of ten soldiers accompanying him.

A wooden sign was hung at the door and it said 'Marriage Registration Office'. This was indeed the right place.

"Haha, get some side business, get some side business."

"Okay. Then Isidor and I will go back to the cave base first. The delay this time is a bit long, and we are afraid that our team members will be at a loss."

The visitor nodded in agreement, and then said enviously,

"It seems like you have a lot of free time here. You can actually do this in the office and the deacons don't care about it?"

The application did not have much text, so the translation and sending went very quickly, finishing in less than ten minutes.

"Sanga, pay attention."

“Who says it’s not?”

Due to the lack of confidentiality awareness in the interrogation room, Kunna and the others heard a lot of news during this relatively long wait.

After another two lights, the four apprentices finally finished their tasks and said to Kunna tiredly,

"It's your turn, tell me the message you want to send."

This is not to say that he is a lazy person, but that such a "Qingshui Yamen" can indeed give him a lot of thinking time.

Trista, like the other apprentices, does not have all the work in the consulship;

In addition, he also has something he likes more, which he considers to be his real 'job', the work of the 'City Defense Engineering Research Institute' that needs to be carried out.

For this reason, witch doctors have started to make associations.

~~~

At this time, it was not far from the headquarters, and the train was expected to reach the Heihe Bridge tonight;

Nesta occupied a small room in one section as a temporary office, and the other witch doctors did the same;

Of course, this is especially true for communications teams with frequent business

At this time, 12 days had passed since Nesta and his party left the second branch base. They had already passed by the third base before, and now they would soon reach the final fourth base.

The visitor obviously saw the unfinished drawings on the table. He took a half step back and looked at the sign outside the door;

Obviously, it was the impulsive and irritable nature of the troll that had a profound impact on him.

Trista patted her cheek hard and took a few long breaths before she regained her composure and resumed the previously interrupted design work.

Trista took the 'document' and followed his gaze and saw a full bundle of rolls, so he asked doubtfully,

"Why do you have to deliver it in person? Can't anyone do this job? Wouldn't it be better to leave it to the ordinary hunting team on duty?"

The brief exchange quickly came to an end, and the witch doctors once again focused their attention on the giant tree.

Just as he turned to leave, Nesta spoke again,

"Haha, that's not possible. Just rely on this little time to take a breather. Then I'll go and you can continue your research."

And once you cross the Heihe River, it means that the headquarters is close at hand.

"Notify the tribes in the East and let their chiefs and witch doctors come to celebrate. The success of the track laying is a blessing for all trolls, and they must also participate."

Hearing this, Kunna quickly took out the roll-shaped paper from her bag and handed it over.

"Moose No. 2 is almost dead, and Wolf No. 2 is still alive thanks to our active intervention. However, Wolf No. 2 is about to give birth, probably within the next few days."

After Nesta finished dealing with the trees in his hands, he left his office. He jumped onto the tree trunk and went straight to the front of the trunk a hundred meters away, and entered the 'laboratory'.

~~~~

Headquarters, ‘Marriage Registration Office’, what a coincidence, the apprentice on duty today is still the same one as before.

In the laboratory, Coarse Tooth and several other witch doctors with different specialties are already waiting;

Seeing Nesta come in at this time, they all bent down to greet him.

He murmured to himself, glanced downwards, and immediately frowned;

Nesta felt somewhat disappointed after seeing its appearance;

Because apart from being 'weak', there is almost no difference between it and an ordinary moose newborn.

It is not an ordinary wolf, nor is it the wind wolf in imagination, this is a 'giant wind wolf' cub.

"Oh my god! This effect is so shocking to the trolls!"

"Okay, I'll let you know when there's a reply on the registration."

Not long after, a new simple carriage was created by magic, and five of the spare deer that were traveling with the carriage were individually pulled out and pulled forward for towing.

After that, he took out the "document" from the bag, which was slightly pulled out, so it was distinguished from other papers of the same shape;

He opened it and took a look. After confirming it, the visitor handed it to Trista.

Even if one does not die, if the damage caused to the body is to be repaired through regeneration, it will cost ten years of life force loss.

"A giant wind wolf can emerge from such a tragic situation as Egg No. 2, but what about Egg No. 3? Its magic crystal reaction is much more obvious than that of Egg No. 2."

"I understand, then I'll get ready first."

What they applied for was the ‘Urban Defense Engineering Research Institute’. After it was approved almost a year ago, it has already achieved two relatively outstanding results.

The other group has been using ultrasound to detect the inside of the eggs, hoping to record all the changes that occur in the eggs.

With the chanting of mantras and the dancing of fingers, the originally quite wide Heihe Bridge once again ushered in a round of growth and width, gradually turning into a real giant.

On both sides of the bridge, in order to provide it with a better support structure, six more 'pier trees' were planted, three on the left and three on the right;

They quickly merged with the bridge body, and soon they were no longer distinguishable from each other, becoming a complete "bridge tree".

In the headquarters on the right bank of the Black River, there are not only the trolls left behind at this time, but also the chiefs and witch doctors from the eastern tribes, who have also been picked up by the fleet long ago;

Although it was somewhat suspected of "forcibly pressing his head", Nesta's will was obviously implemented. After the strongholds near the tribes learned about the "Meeting Alliance", they immediately "sent envoys" and announced

From the shortcut that had been explored, they were sent one by one to the vicinity of the river, and transported to the headquarters as quickly as possible.

At this time, facing the dictator who was about to return, these chiefs and witch doctors were brought to the station again, preparing to let them witness with their own eyes the two great achievements of the headquarters' giant bridge and rail transit.
