24. Southern Black Forest
Ying Li and I stood on the top of the tallest red pine tree, and the tree houses were hidden in the green sea.
When the wind blows, the tree houses appear and disappear between the branches and leaves of the tree canopy. Each wooden house is connected to the adjacent wooden houses. These rope bridges are covered with thick wooden boards and are suspended in the air. When I walk over from above, I can feel the rope bridge shaking left and right.
It is hard to believe that this large tribe with a population of over 10,000 would actually live in trees. This indigenous tribe can gather thousands of indigenous warriors at any time. These indigenous warriors carry hardwood bows, long wooden spears in their hands, and rough bark armor. They stand on the watchtower outside the tree house, protruding their heads and looking under the tree.
Teams of indigenous warriors walked down the trees in an orderly manner and began to collect the portion of their spoils.
For these indigenous people, there are many valuable things on the corpses of these spider-man warriors and giant spiders. The captured black iron weapons and peeled insect armor, and the touch limbs of giant spiders are the most valuable things, and these things are unified by the tribe.
Four strong indigenous warriors worked together to lift a thick-backed moon blade axe. They flexibly climbed onto a giant spider's corpse and used it to split the hard insect armor on the back of the giant spider. Several indigenous people with sharp bones in their mouths climbed up, peeling off the insect armor on the back of the giant spider from the wound with purple and black blood flowing little by little, revealing the plump and thick oil on the giant spider's back.
These native butchers cut off the oil on their backs one by one and threw it into the boiling large clay pot. A layer of smoked black smoke came out of the mouth of the clay pot, just like an alchemist refining magic potion. The oil floating in the air smelled particularly bad, but the natives didn't care at all and still used a long-handled wooden spoon to stir the oil residue inside vigorously.
It was not until the war sank, that the elderly, women and children of the indigenous tribes came out of the tree house behind them, and they joined the grand operation of snatching the spoils. They held some jars and clay pots on their heads and walked down from the trees one after another. The indigenous children saw the huge bodies of the giant spider and exclaimed at the same time, lamenting the greatness of the Creator.
The air on the plane of the Yero is warm, and if the corpses of these giant spiders cannot be handled in time, they will soon rot and deteriorate. Therefore, snatching as many trophys as possible in a limited time has become the top priority of this indigenous tribe.
Our itinerary was delayed. Elder Singer needed to handle the important matters at hand before he could take us to Green Valley in person. Only he knew the way to it. These Yero natives believed that these elders of Bangalore had won for them, so the elders of Bangalore suddenly became heroes here, and would enjoy the worship of the natives in the tribe wherever they went.
Kalancho walked up with Katerina, and the natives who were originally quietly watching us from a distance were scared to leave.
Kalancho looked at Katerina and carefully looked around her body. She didn't find anything wrong with her body. The blood stains that should be washed away had long been washed away. Kalancho, who had already restrained her terrifying side, looked confused, so she asked me: "Hey, why did these natives scare away when they see us?"
I looked at Kalancho with a smile. As the female leader in the orc tribe who holds great power, some of Kalancho's temperament has gradually changed. Maybe she didn't notice it herself, but the majesty of the superior will always be revealed inadvertently.
Kalancho touched her flawless face in confusion again. After years of hard work, she did not leave any trauma on her face.
Then I remembered the half-body armor she liked to wear the most and the scar in front of her. It stretched from her left shoulder through the Rugou to the lower part of her right rib. Now it looks like the color of the flesh-pink scar has changed, blending with the surrounding wheat-colored skin. If you don’t look carefully, you will almost never see the scar.
Ying Li, who was quick-minded, pointed to Kalancho's architectural armor and blinked at her.
"Your Highness Princess Yingli, do you think it's my armor?" Kalancuo asked with a puzzled look.
"Kalantou, just call me Ying Li!" Ying Li smiled and nodded. The aura of a noble royal family on her body would always be revealed inadvertently. She said, "I guess someone must have recognized the goods among these natives. They recognized that the hard leather armor you were wearing was made of the soft leather of the Spider Man Governor. They thought you were a brave man who could slaughter the Spider Man Governor, so they were afraid of you like this!"
"Did I become a warrior when I wear a Spider-Man Governor's hard leather armor?" Kalancho reached out and grabbed the pillar in the middle of the watchtower and flexibly flipped onto the platform above.
"It should be like this!" I said to her.
She would choose to believe what I said, no matter whether it is right or wrong.
Obviously, it was because the spider-man governor's hard leather armor on Kalancho frightened the indigenous people in the tribe, so no one dared to approach us. Some indigenous children wanted to come from afar, but were stopped by some indigenous women, just as if their children would die immediately after they were taken by Kalancho.
The barbarian slaves lit a bonfire in the clearings of the natives. When these barbarian slaves were resting, they would never keep them as long as they had something to eat. They roasted the spider legs into a crackling sound, which made the natives unable to help but look over.
More than a hundred orc warriors seemed more well-trained. They would remove the heavy armor on the body of the war horses as soon as they rest, so that these war horses could recover their physical strength as quickly as possible. Before they learned how to use the magic pattern structure, they probably wouldn't be able to combine it with the war horses, so that the war horses could feel the power of the magic pattern structure. Therefore, these excellent war horses carried hundreds of kilograms of weight-bearing charges at a time, which was extremely physically exhausting.
The eighteen knights of the personal guard team who experienced the spoils incident have made some new changes in their attitude towards orc warriors. Perhaps they think that these orc brothers are so real, and they don’t seem so open and upright when they hide their own private interests. So they began to take the initiative to teach orc warriors to learn riding skills. The biggest difference between the construction knights and the heavy cavalry is that the construction knights have a magic pattern structure worth comparable to a luxury house.
When the knights of the ensemble are riding on the war horse in this magic pattern, they have the ability to closely connect themselves with the war horse. That is to say, perhaps they cannot obtain power from the war horse, but they can use the magic pattern to bless their power to their mounts, so that the horse's charge ability can be instantly doubled. In this way, when the knights of the ensemble are charged on the battlefield, the destructive power they have is beyond the reach of those heavy cavalrymen.
As for how to combine yourself with the war horse, this is a compulsory course for the knights in the Knight Academy. For every Green Empire construction knight, these are probably the most basic common sense, but for my orc warriors, it is a very profound knowledge. Orc warriors don’t know these at all. They need to explore and learn in practice on the battlefield.
Now that I have such a good teacher, I urge Kalancho to seize this opportunity.
I reached out to Kalancho and asked her to pull me up.
I didn't expect that Kalancho would take off her structural armor when she sat on it. Now it was just a plain-colored strap like a bandage inside, which could not cover her chest at all. The wheat-colored skin was covered with a layer of subtle sweat. The black forest on the plane of the Yero, the more you walked south, the more stuffy the watchtower on the tree house could be cooler.
Kalancho and I sat side by side on the watchtower, and looked at Ying Li below with a little guilty conscience. Kalancho took out her half-body armor that she usually liked to wear from her backpack, quickly put it on her body, and flexibly took the hook behind her hands.
Yingli and Katerina were sitting on the wooden platform below. They were talking about the news about Qige, and the accurate information obtained from the Angel Boulder royal intelligence agency. The rebellion in the Kingdom of Ethia seemed to have subsided, but there was no exact news about Prince Achris. These news were specially passed to me by Prince James through Yingli.
Kalancho looked at the cavalrymen of the personal guards below and whispered to me: "Your idea is really good. They are much more proactive now."
Then she asked me: "How do you know whether they can take away the heads of those spider-man warriors, their attitude towards us orcs will change?"
I scratched my head, not knowing how to explain this to Kalancho, so I said to her in orc language: "Well! Speaking of which... 'gift giving' is also a very profound knowledge, hehe!"
Ying Li, who was standing below, heard Kalancuo and I chatting in orcs, and turned his head and gave me a blank look.
"Give a gift?" Kalancho repeated the only word in the sentence in imperial language. The word "orcine" does not seem to be close to the meaning of this word.
I said to Kalancho: "Yes, 'gifts' is the only way to increase the other person's favorability."
I looked down and said to Kalancho: "It seems that these knights in the structure are quite gentlemanly. I don't have the nerve to accept our gifts, but I can still teach our warrior knight skills so enthusiastically. Remember to let the orcs calm down a little next time when the war starts against the Spider-Man warriors, try to give up the heads on the battlefield. Oh, do it better without affecting the situation and not adding casualties."
"Why do we do this?" Kalancho was a little unresolved.
So I broke up the current situation and crushed it to her:
"Look! Whether it is the magic crystal or the spoils you gained from these battles, it is no longer that important to me now. The silk reeling workshop and magic seal workshop in Xinliu Valley can continuously earn magic crystals for me, and I also have some benefits from the magic pattern construction and magic scrolls."
"Now the initial construction of Xinliu Valley has been on track, and the underground light rail that has invested the most is now completed. Although some infrastructure needs to be invested in Xinliu Valley next, the current output of Xinliu Valley can fully support this part of the investment. I originally thought that the town of Trum would be a gold-eating beast, but the current turbulent situation in the Yero plane has brought us some unexpected benefits."
"The 300,000 city residents trapped in Tanton City are a potential huge wealth for us. As long as we continuously provide them with food and daily necessities that can allow them to survive through Xinliu Valley, we will exchange for some manpower, wealth and of course there may be some other things we need."
"For these orc warriors, they have not received orthodox knight training, so they can fully utilize the power given by the magic pattern structure when fighting alone or when dismounting the horse. However, as long as they are on the horse's back, their strength will be discounted, and they don't know how to cooperate when fighting in teams."
"If we rely on us to slowly explore these combat experiences, we don't know how many orc warriors will be damaged. Orc warriors are not very capable, and every warrior is extremely precious. Now, if we can exchange magic crystals for these valuable experiences, of course there is nothing we can't bear to bear."
"Now our orc warriors are like a blade without blades. Once sharpened, they will be a blade that can pierce all armor."
Kalancho didn't say anything anymore, but took out a whetstone and kept rubbing against her double-edged sword. I think she never cared about the sharp edge of this heavy sword before, and she relied solely on absolute power to kill her opponent, but now she is actually starting to sharpen her sword!
I held the guardrail on the roof of the tree with my hands and jumped down, and talked to Yingli and Katerina about the construction of the town of Trum.
Le Die and Helena and Becky climbed up along the wooden ladder behind. Le Die walked to Ying Li and stood side by side with her. She held the guardrail with both hands and leaned outside, looking down at the busy natives in the clearings in the forest, and her soft blonde hair slid down like a waterfall.
During these days in the Jero plane, Le Die has a much cheerful mood. She and Ying Li have two completely different personalities. Le Die has her own pride. Her clothes and dress are in a Buenos style. Her upper body looks conservative and elegant, while the lower body is wearing a leather armor skirt. The two exposed legs look white and straight. The ice deer leather boots that are longer than the knees are extremely exquisite and exquisite.
She seemed a little impatient when she stood there and couldn't help but complain to Ying Li: "How long will we wait here!"
Ying Li smiled, patted her shoulder gently, and said to her: "Can you be a little patient?"
Le Die's body was poked out and turned to Ying Li and said to me: "I didn't expect that you would have such a private guard hidden in the plane of Jero. It looks quite powerful. I have never heard Ying Li talk about it!"
Her delicate face looks very similar to Lucia in some places, but it makes me a little indescribable.
However, Le Die has always changed her attitude towards me. It was a long experience from disgust at the beginning and constantly causing trouble for me, to later a little bit of default and acceptance.
I explained to Le Die: "Here! You also see that the barbarian slaves in this guard are wearing black iron heavy armor of the Nakma warriors. These black iron armors are the spoils that flow into Didu after the victory of the Kenda plane. Therefore, the battle group of this barbarian slaves has just been established. This time, Prince James asked me to help you find a way to deal with the Spider-Man Governor. This time I used all the power of the Jero plane without reservation..."
...Deborah's figure swept through the sky, and because the dense sea of trees covered everything, we lost the advantage of air reconnaissance.
However, Deborah can fly in the sky, which is something that does not work on Didu. She never has the chance to fly. Once she gets fat, it will be difficult to fly again.
The elder Singer finally did not forget that he had another important thing. After arranging the matter of snatching the plunder in the village, he led my army through the forest under the tree houses of the indigenous village. Only then did I realize that this tribe was almost as big as the small town of Mas...
