No wonder it is always said that there are many dangers in the depths of the wilderness, and ordinary pioneer lords will die if they build a territory in it.
After experiencing a series of events, Lear finally had an intuitive understanding of this statement.
Ordinary wilderness monsters are fine, but what is dangerous are these forces that have their own base in the wilderness.
Every one of these he encountered had a strong background.
Even if you dig a little deeper, most of them can be related to gods.
Even if there is no god as a backer, he must have his own trump card.
Just like the barbarian chief in front of me - Bettina.
There is an ancient soul hidden in the body, and once it explodes, it can kill a demigod!
How fucking crazy is this? !
Extraordinary people are already at the top of this world, and mortals can't even touch them. Now anyone who appears can have the means to deal with beings above extraordinary people.
Sure enough, the world with its long history cannot be underestimated, its heritage is too profound.
God doesn’t know how many batches have been changed, and no one knows what big boss or boss’s trumpet is hidden somewhere.
Lear took a deep look at this wild figure like a cheetah or a wolf.
Now it seems that the opponent is still in the stage of recovering its strength.
Didn't reach the heights he once had.
I looked at the second piece of information again. The ruins Bettina mentioned were not simple. Only those above level 16 can survive.
This is not an ordinary danger, no wonder the other party would invite him.
After calming down, he said slowly.
"Ms. Bettina, I am also very curious about that ruins. However, I am currently busy with my affairs and need to put it on hold for a while."
"If I can finish my work early, I will explore the ruins with you before they are closed."
In three months, he was promoted from level 11 to level 16. If he told it, outsiders would only think it was a fantasy.
Are you kidding me? If the level is so easy to improve, then the high-level combat power will not be so low.
But with complete authority, these difficulties are not impossible.
Bettina sensed the sincerity in Lear's tone, and her eyes softened.
"It's just that I was reckless. If you can make it in time, we'll talk about it then."
The other party can build a powerful territory from scratch in just a few months, and it is normal for them to be busy with their affairs.
Now the Hisham clan only has more than 10,000 people, and the daily government affairs have already given her a headache.
Lear nodded.
The conversation changed and he said.
"This time, at Azaken's request, I also brought some armor produced in Weilu City."
He said and looked at the barbarian leader.
"Azaken, go get it from Bubblemon"
"Yes, sir!"
The sturdy barbarian immediately turned around and left, returning a moment later with a dozen warriors carrying sets of armor.
Bettina looked at it with interest. The metallic luster was also very textured in the slightly dark hall.
He stepped forward and picked up a corner, rubbed it carefully and looked at it, and after a while he praised it greatly.
"Excellent forging craftsmanship!"
"good!"
"Lord Lear, I wonder how much armor you can offer for trade?"
Barbarian armor is modeled after normal humans.
At the 2-star level, the forging difficulty is several levels lower than that of Spider Banshee's armor - the size is not a concept.
Now that the blacksmith shop has skilled workers, it can produce large quantities of goods.
After pondering for a while, he said slowly.
"Our current production orders are fully booked. If the Hisham clan needs it, it will have to wait until after December."
"At that time, Weilu City can provide two thousand sets of armor as an initial deal."
The current production capacity is limited, and the Yeying clan needs priority in supply, and he also wants to make a batch to open up the market in Loland City.
The barbarian territory is not that important, so let’s move to the back for now.
After two days, the thousands of big-eared people obtained from the Yeying clan are brought back to the territory, and then the second production capacity expansion can be carried out.
Maybe it can be produced earlier.
Bettina nodded happily.
"That's good, we can accept it. What about the food?"
"Do you have any extra food for sale in your territory?"
Although there are no powerful enemy threats around the Hisham clan.
But there are more than 10,000 people, and they need a huge amount of food to fill their stomachs every day when they open their eyes.
Relying solely on hunting harvests, they have almost wiped out the large group of wild beasts for dozens of kilometers around.
Further away, the safety drops sharply, and ordinary barbarians dare not go deep.
At present, the main food source is the rhizome of a plant, which can be eaten after being ground into powder and steamed with water.
It can provide no less energy than ordinary wheat.
But despite this, the Hisham clan is now somewhat unsustainable.
Every time we go out to find food, we have to go dozens of kilometers away, which is extremely time-consuming.
The barbarians' control over farming is primitive and barbaric.
A lot of land was cultivated, but no decent food was produced.
In addition, they are still attracting new barbarians, and now the tribe has begun to fall into a state of being unable to make ends meet.
This is why she is eager to open a trade channel.
If you want to build a barbarian main city, population is the most basic resource and you cannot give up.
The days that were already stretched were even more difficult.
If this continues, maybe within a year and a half, the entire territory will not be able to survive.
But since it is a main city, it must have a fixed location.
We can’t eat all the food here, so why don’t we just move to another place?
So aren't these walls and buildings in vain? According to the way of wandering in the past, I will never even think about building a main city in this life.
In that chaotic period in ancient times, she was a wandering lone wolf because she had no power to rely on, and was killed by the enemy at the critical moment of her final promotion.
In this life, she must let the barbarians rise and have their own power!
This situation must not continue!
His eyes were extremely firm.
Lear sensed the subtle changes in the other party's mood and felt a little emotional.
If he had not arrived in the swamp, he would have firmly developed agriculture and made Weilu City self-sufficient in food.
Now I am afraid that I will be like the other person, pleading with some caution to buy food.
"Ms. Bettina, since the barbarians are our friends, we must support them."
"Although the food in Weilu City is not much, I am willing to use some of it to trade with the Hisham clan."
"Thank you for your kindness and generosity. The Hisham clan will remember it in our hearts! Barbarians never forget the friendship of friends."
"There is no need to be so polite. I will send someone to discuss the specific transaction price tomorrow. By the way, there are some barbarians in Weilu City who have stayed for a long time. It is time to send them home."
"In addition, you can assign Azaken to be stationed in Weilu City to act as a trade representative, so that we can communicate in a timely manner in the future."
"Your Excellency has thought carefully, let's move on."
After Li Er had an in-depth communication with the boss with short hair, a ladylike tone and sharp eyes for a while, he saw the sky gradually dimming from the corner of his eye.
"Ms. Bettina, today's conversation is over for now. I have to return to the territory."
"Tomorrow, the first batch of food will arrive at the Hisham clan."
"I will also bring back the remaining barbarians."
"In the future, I hope our friendship will last forever."
The value of the Hisham clan is much lower than that of the Yeying clan, but they can't bear the ancient soul hidden in this barbarian chief.
Once it breaks out, it can kill a demigod!
Moreover, he was also very interested in the ruins.
Plant a hook first and come back later.
Bettina nodded slightly, staring at him with those aggressive eyes.
"In that case, there's no need to save much. I look forward to your caravan arriving tomorrow."
Both parties were decisive people. After a few words of greeting, they stopped staying. Lear turned and left this rough hall. Back to the square.
Under the nervous gazes of the surrounding barbarians, he waved his hand and took off with the big devil and the bubble beast.
The next moment, a dozen huge falcons flew from all directions, leading them away from the Hisham clan.
In the hall.
After hearing the news from her subordinates that Lear and his party had flown out of the city, Bettina couldn't help but look at Azaken.
"Is Lord Lear's territory really as extraordinary as you say?"
Although he was generous with his words of praise just now, Lear was a little vague in many places.
The new senior officials of the Hisham clan who came around were also curious and looked at each other with burning eyes.
Azaken's face showed some complexity and he spoke in a low tone.
"Lord Chief, the real Weilu City is more extraordinary than what I said."
"Lord Lear, you really built a powerful territory in just over 3 months!"
"Residents live and work in peace and contentment, agricultural products are abundant, and industry is expanding rapidly."
"The army is strong, with heavy cavalry, swarms of man-eating bees flying in the sky, as well as naga, demons, and night elves."
"The heroes are even more powerful. The six big demons who came this time are only part of them!"
The more he spoke, the more excited his tone became.
"And did you know, Lord Chief? In the City of Weilu, all knowledge is free!!"
"Lord Lear sent the Swamp Banshee to spread knowledge to the residents every night. Everyone can attend the lectures and learn. I repeat, everyone can learn, even slaves who have just joined the City of Dew!!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that in the current Weilu City, except for the newcomers who have only joined in the past half month, there are no illiterate residents. Almost all residents can write hundreds or thousands of common characters and can read most of them. of books.”
"And the food in Weilu City is now filled with several granaries, and the territory is still reclaiming more land for planting. There is no need to worry about food at all."
"In the swamp, mud and water are mixed, and it is almost impossible to find clean spring water. But the life that has just transported the cargo ore can filter the clean water and provide a clean and delicious water source for the entire territory."
"There is also a large-scale breeding of three-tailed pigs, and the breeding area has been expanded to hundreds of acres of fish farms."
Azaken continued to talk until his mouth went dry, and then he vented some of the long-suppressed emotions in his heart.
Who can understand him?
I witnessed the establishment of such a magnificent territory from scratch, and personally participated in most of its deeds.
But I can only keep all this in my heart. Now that I see my own people, I finally have someone to talk to.
At first, the surrounding Hisham clan were suspicious and even a little disdainful, but when they heard what happened, their faces became increasingly ugly, and finally they fell into silence completely.
Listening to what the other party said, they had managed the territory for several years. Why did it feel like it was not as good as the human lord who had managed it for several months? !
They were quite proud of their barbarian main city before, but now when they compare it like this, they just feel like something is wrong.
Food is plentiful, it can produce strong and sharp armor and weapons, it has a powerful army, high-level heroes, and a large number of knowledgeable residents. Is this what their dream territory looks like?
At this moment, Bettina noticed that the crowd's will was somewhat broken, and she took a deep breath.
Sir Lear, you have given me a difficult problem.
After calming down, he glanced around with aggressive eyes, making everyone subconsciously tilt their heads.
The voice of disobedience was slowly heard.
"Every race has its own opportunities. What we can do is seize what we have now instead of doubting, being discouraged, or shrinking back."
"Since the other party is better, let's learn from them. Even if we can't reach their level, we will become better."
"Remember, we are doing something that has never been done before - establishing our barbarian main city in the wilderness!"
"Since you are a pioneer, you must face all kinds of difficulties!"
"We are pioneers, so we have to wade through these thorns!"
"Keep your head up and keep fighting!"
Simple words with strong fighting spirit were like a shot in the arm, immediately injecting energy into everyone.
They all cheered up and looked at Bettina. Her wild figure was like the alpha wolf leading them to hunt, ferocious and full of charm!
This is their chief, their leader!
Without each other, the barbarians are still wandering in the wilderness, and it is impossible to own this magnificent city that they could not even imagine before!
The other party will definitely lead the barbarians to glory!
Each one beat his chest with his right hand and spoke firmly.
"The barbarians will rise!!"
When Lear returned to the City of Dew, the moon was already high in the sky.
The tinkling sound of forging still echoed over the territory.
Turning around, I saw that the blacksmith shop was still brightly lit.
He didn't hesitate and took the Bubble Beast directly to the yard of the blacksmith shop.
Then unload!
Two hundred bubbles and thousands of tons of ore clattered.
It fell into the yard like thunder.
In an instant, a mountain of ore appeared, splashing dust all over the sky.
Ore is a stone that has not been smelted and does not need to be carefully preserved. It can be piled anywhere.
Hearing the noise, a large group of people curiously poked their heads out of the doors and windows of the 5th building of the blacksmith shop.
Everyone was a little surprised to see this large pile of ore.
Good guy, how many weapons can be forged from such a high mountain? !
Soon, Bain, who was inspecting the blacksmith shop, came hand in hand with Bryn, the leader of the Fry people.
After seeing Lear, he saluted with surprise.
"Good night, my lord"
After Brin stood up, he immediately looked at the piles of ore. He felt it slightly, and his eyes filled with color.
"The concentration of this kind of magic power is definitely a 4-star ore!"
"Sir, this, this is too much!!"
How can there be 4-star ores piled up in the mountains!
Compared with the previous Abyss Magic Iron and Scarlet Magic Iron, this is the real ore mountain.
Lear smiled.
“This is just the beginning, there’s more to come.”
As he spoke, he looked at Bain.
"I have established a relationship with the Night Shadow clan and the tribe of barbarians - the Hisham clan."
"Early tomorrow morning, you send Brando, the president of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, to visit the two territories again."
"Trading with the Hisham clan requires food. You have people prepare it in advance."
"The Yeying clan doesn't lack anything. Once the weapons are forged, we will send them to them. I have already made an agreement with their priests, and the thousands of Daer slaves in their territory will also be sent to us. We will bring them with us tomorrow. return."
"Send all the bubble beasts to pick up people when the time comes. Don't waste time on the way."
"I will let the Archdemon and Scarlet Hornet escort you to ensure safety."
Today's outing was very fruitful, and I directly established contact with both territories.
The subsequent trade exchanges can already be carried out normally.
What limits him now is not the outside, but the productivity constraints of the blacksmith shop.
Thinking of this, he looked at Brin.
Now he only has about 30 Fry people on hand. If he could get 300, he would go to Loland City at the end of the month and see if he could buy some Fry people slaves.
He liked these lives so much.
The swamp hero responded with a delighted expression.
"I'll make arrangements later."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, his face became a little more solemn, and he said softly.
"Sir, the Hall of Valor has been completed and can be officially opened tomorrow."
"In addition, the evaluation criteria for the Medal of Merit have also been improved. We have selected the first batch of personnel to be awarded the medal. You need to confirm."
Lear's expression was a little subtle again. After so long construction, it was finally completed.
The Hall of Heroes is a place to worship and commemorate fallen soldiers.
In the future, every key battle in Weilu City will be engraved in it for the residents to pay homage to.
Those heroes who sacrificed their lives will also leave their fame along with these battles.
This is definitely an important building that unites people's hearts and morale.
Who doesn’t want to sacrifice his life and leave his name to be admired by future generations and make his descendants proud?
"Tomorrow morning, the Hall of Valor will be officially launched. At the same time, the award ceremony will be held in front of the Hall of Valor."
"And give each warrior who sacrificed his life for the territory a hero's badge."
"This medal is unique and can only be obtained by fallen soldiers. If there are family members, this medal will be awarded to their relatives."
As each building is completed, each system is improved.
The empty territory is gradually being filled. (End of chapter)
