Chapter 55 Enslaving the Delsa People
The battlefield was quickly cleaned, and in addition to some bone weapons found in the half-murloc's warehouse, three to four thousand kilograms of dried fish were also found.
It was piled high.
But what surprised Lear was that the bone altar used for sacrifice had no additional attributes.
This made him slightly disappointed.
This thing is not an artifact?
You are a majestic god, why don’t you have one hundred and eighty artifacts with you?
Sad, sad!
I look down upon a god like you.
Although the remaining soul of the half-murloc god was wiped out, his divinity remained.
But Lear still had an inexplicable feeling that the other party might not be dead. These beings are so easy to kill, so they wouldn't be called gods.
But as soon as I woke up, I was bound to be hit hard.
I feel calm in my heart. As time goes by, the date when the authority will be revealed is getting closer and closer.
As long as he can control the power, a long-lost half-murloc god in the swamp is nothing.
At this time, the lizardman warriors also collected the bodies of their companions. After counting, the number of casualties this time was also counted.
Not to mention injuries, six squads of soldiers were killed.
Of the 15 teams brought out, only 9 were left.
For Lear, it was definitely a heavy blow.
The already small number of troops is now even more stretched.
But using 6 teams of wetland lizardmen in exchange for one divine life was a damn good deal.
Death has long been regarded as the final destination by the wetland lizard people, and dying on the battlefield is even more glorious!
No one felt down about this, waiting calmly for Lear's orders.
After thinking about it, Lear asked the wetland lizardmen to bring the bodies of the fallen soldiers with them.
They were not left in the wilderness, or dissolved to extract the essence of life.
People's hearts are condensed step by step, and the most intuitive manifestation is the respect for one's own soldiers.
The dead warriors are no longer warriors, but heroes!
Along the way, the atmosphere was not good.
The wetland lizardman warrior looked at the corpse of his companion. Although his mood was calm, he was inevitably a little touched.
Lear said nothing and only asked the two Delsa people leading the way to speed up.
I didn't encounter any accidents along the way. I walked like this for more than an hour. After crossing a muddy field, news came from the front - the Delsa people gathering place has arrived!
Lear led his army forward, and a large dry area covered with tall grass came into view.
The leaves of the grass were bent and woven into bird's nest-like buildings by the Delsa people.
The giant bird's nest is built on its side so that even rain from above cannot penetrate the inside of the bird's nest.
It looks quite eye-catching.
At this moment, hundreds of Delsa people were busy going back and forth.
Seeing the arrival of the wetland lizard people, the Delsa people who first noticed them let out a scream of terror.
The crowd immediately turned their heads and fled in panic after seeing them.
Like a rabbit being chased by a wild wolf, it quickly hid in the grass without even daring to take another look.
In the blink of an eye, the land became empty.
Although Lear was mentally prepared, he still felt a little bit dumbfounded at this moment.
What a crisp run.
He waved his hand to let the two captured Delsa people enter the grass and call out their chief.
When the two guys received Lear's order, they immediately held their chests and heads high like princes who had received the king's instructions.
"Sir Chief, the Lord asked me to bring you a message."
Stride into the grass.
After a moment, a white-haired Delsa man followed behind the two of them and stepped forward with a bit of caution and an apologetic smile on his face.
"Dear Sir, Bart greets you. I am the chief of the Delsa people and I am willing to serve you."
Lear looked at the old chief of the Delsa people and said slowly.
"Weilu City still needs manpower, Bart. I will now recruit all members of your tribe."
"From now on, you are members of Weilu City."
The white-haired chief of the Delsa people was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Lear and lowered his head without any hesitation.
"Yes, sir! The people of Delsa are at your disposal!"
The weak do not have the power to decide their destiny. He had already understood this when he was young
The existence of the Delsa people has never been achieved by themselves, but depends on the strong.
Before surrendering to the half-murlocs, they had also taken refuge in more than a dozen forces, including but not limited to orcs, lizard people, crocodile people, etc.
Anyway, there are waves of people around here being destroyed, and their principle is that whoever is strong will surrender.
The dragons have their own way of survival, and the Delsa people also have their own rules of survival.
Cartilage? coward? What is that and can it be eaten?
Spine is nothing compared to life.
Lear took a deep look at the other party. In terms of the other party's strength, it is true that only this kind of character can live better in the dangerous wilderness.
No nonsense, just a thought.
Endless divine pressure surged out.
With an absolutely domineering attitude, he left a soul imprint on the mind of the Delsa man in front of him.
From now on, there will never be another betrayal!
"Immediately call all Delsa people and move back to Weilu City."
"Yes, Master!" The white-haired chief of the Delsa people, Bart, took a deep breath and responded loudly.
Just looking at Lear, his eyes became much more respectful and closer, and he was no longer as worried as before.
After Lear finished speaking, he asked the other party about the ancient ruins and the fish-man god, but Bart didn't know much about these two things.
The other party finally confirmed the news about Dark Naga to him——
The Delsa people are about fifteen kilometers away from the Dark Naga, and those evil beings have always been taboo about stepping out of the valley that is shrouded in darkness all day long.
It seemed that they were guarding something, but those dark Nagas were too powerful and they did not dare to get close.
Lear opened the magic map again and confirmed its location with the chief of the Delsa people.
Without further ado, he asked the Delsa people to pack up their things and move back to Weilu City immediately.
The territory is growing step by step, and the gap in labor is also widening.
More than a hundred swamp people were completely overwhelmed.
The injection of more than 500 Delsa people will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the labor shortage problem.
Bart, the chief of the Delsa people, did not hesitate and turned around and entered the grass.
I didn’t know how to tell the others. After a while, the feathered Delsa people walked out cautiously from the grass.
Start packing up the items in your lair.
Looking at the busy crowd, Lear suddenly thought of another key issue - food.
Increasing the population is not that simple, and a host of problems will follow.
Food is typical of this.
The reserves in his hands can only sustain the consumption of 300 people for half a year. With the addition of more than 500 people, it will be greatly reduced.
And the farmland has not yet been cultivated, so the first season of swamp wheat will not be harvested until three months later.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he waved to summon the old chief of the Delsa people.
"Bart, what do you usually eat?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the grass behind him.
"Sir, the roots of these weeds have sweet-tasting rhizomes that can make people very full."
rhizome?
Do these guys survive by eating grass roots?
Lear became interested and asked Bart to get some.
The chief of the Delsa people took matters into his own hands, using a dull stone shovel to dig up the soil arrogantly in front of him.
A black lump the size of a fist was dug out from the root of the slender weed.
After taking it off, rub it gently and the skin will fall off.
Expose the yellowed flesh inside.
Bart opened his mouth and took a big bite, as if eating sugar cane, a large amount of thick fiber was pulled and broken.
Chew it, chew it, this Delsa man didn't care, he chewed it for a few times and swallowed it directly.
Gudong~ After swallowing it, he still looked satisfied.
Lear's eyelids twitched.
Is eating grass roots so beautiful?
I took a good one and looked at it, rubbed off the skin, and tried to bite it.
The mouth was dry, like biting a grass root. Chew it, chew it, and finally confirmed that this thing is a grass root. .
Bah~
Watching Lear vomit it out, the chief of the Delsa people was still a little puzzled. He seemed not to understand why he would vomit such delicious food
Lear glared at this person angrily. Guy glance.
Staring at the root of the tree in my hand, its properties appear in my mind.
Longleaf grass roots
[Level]: None
[Characteristics]: It is rich in energy and can sustain life needs. However, it tastes dry and difficult to swallow, and it is very difficult to consume. Eating too much may cause bloating.
Contains abundant energy?
Although there is no level, it is still something.
You can keep an eye on it and use it for emergencies if you are short of food in the future.
"Bart, let all the Delsa people store enough food for themselves for a month before returning to the territory."
"yes!"
The chief of the Delsa people responded immediately, without any nonsense, and immediately ordered the tribesmen to dig up the grass roots.
Even though the Delsa people are not high-level and timid by nature, they are still quite powerful.
He is also very familiar with digging grass roots and can dig out rhizomes in one go.
There was a large bunch of rhizomes under each longleaf grass, and the largest one weighed thirty or forty pounds.
The output is exaggerated.
A month's worth of food was prepared in just two hours.
Finally, each Delsa man had bundles of longleaf roots hanging from his body.
It looks a bit funny.
Lear didn't care either. After making sure that he had brought everything, he waved for them to follow and return to the City of Dew.
It was already afternoon, and if we delayed any longer, we would have to travel in the dark.
These hundreds of Delsa people who prepare their own dry food can alleviate the increasingly serious employment pressure.
