Chapter 2512 The fight for the red dragon
Then the four of them took the red dragon all the way back to the village.
The villagers came over one by one to watch.
The brave men were actually also puzzled.
"Why are you always so bold? Shouldn't you be afraid when you see a dragon?" Qiang Yong asked a villager.
"Of course it's because you have captured the dragon."
"So naturally we are not afraid." The villagers said confidently.
"And this dragon looks very timid at first glance..." another villager said.
"Can we eat barbecue dragon steak tonight? Just like when you captured the magic cow and the magic wild boar before?" A child drooled.
"What dragon platoon?" When the red dragon heard this, he was so frightened that he hid behind the brave man.
"It's just barbecue. The steak on the backbone is the most delicious." The child said knowingly.
"You can't eat dragons. I can talk. You can't eat anything that can talk."
"Is that so? The sheep can also bleat, and the pigs can also hum. Do you want to eat it differently?" The child had already taken out the seasoning packet.
"Okay, little stool, this dragon has surrendered and can't be eaten."
"Can't be eaten, that's too boring."
"Wait a minute, I can help you with the work. Can you give me steak?" Hong Long drooled as he listened.
“Working?”
The villagers’ eyes suddenly lit up.
So Wen Rensheng saw that the red dragon began to act as a super tractor.
This dragon is 28 meters tall and 82 meters long. It is definitely a giant.
Everyone made many ropes and tied them to its wings, tail, and legs.
It can haul hundreds of plows at a time.
Why were cattle valuable in ancient times?
Because cattle can plow the land, one cow can carry three to five strong laborers to plow the land.
If the land is not cultivated, it will be impossible to grow any good crops.
Farming is tiring and hard physical work, which is also the source of men's status in rural areas.
Women can't do this kind of thing.
It hurts the body too much.
But this red dragon is equivalent to the work efficiency of hundreds of cows.
Even, because it is intelligent, it can do many more things than a cow.
Not only for farming, it can also help villagers fetch water to irrigate their fields.
After plowing the ground, it then took on the task of watering.
Every seven days, it swallows thousands of tons of water in one breath from rivers dozens of miles away.
The question is that the dragon's stomach is connected to a different space.
In this way, the villagers relied on this dragon to turn the entire land in the village from dry land into paddy fields.
Irrigation once every seven days is enough to solve the water source problem of food crops.
And there’s an added bonus.
Although this red dragon eats a lot, it only needs to eat mud.
And what he eats is mud, but what he excretes is fertilizer, the best kind of dragon fertilizer.
Whenever something touches the dragon, it becomes noble.
It simply made the villagers grin from ear to ear.
So with water, deep plowing, and fertilizer, a bumper harvest was ushered in that summer.
In this feudal ancient Middle Ages, food production was very low.
Generally, it depends on the seed-to-harvest ratio.
Often when 10 kilograms of seeds are sown, only 20 kilograms to 30 kilograms of grain can be harvested.
It's simply speechless.
Generally speaking, dry land can harvest 50 to 100 kilograms.
The paddy fields are very powerful and can yield about 300 kilograms.
And those weighing 300 to 400 pounds are already good paddy fields.
Therefore, large-scale peasant uprisings rarely occurred in Jiangnan in ancient times, because paddy fields were highly productive, and even if there was only a small amount of land, they could barely make a living.
Moreover, the relative yield of paddy fields is stable.
Unlike dry land, everything depends on the weather.
And through the work of this dragon, the Xinshou Village where the brave man lives actually earns as much as 600 kilograms per acre of land!
The yield per mu of 600 kilograms can be said to be equivalent to modern yield.
Modern times are enhanced by breeding, chemical fertilizers, regular watering, pesticides and many other BUFFs.
The average wheat yield is only six to seven hundred pounds per acre.
It can be said that this dragon is really full of treasures.
The villagers sang and danced with the red dragon for the first time.
They were very happy, which meant that after deducting the taxes paid to the lords in previous years, they would still have a large amount of food left.
There has never been so much food.
The four brave men were also dumbfounded.
“Good guy, have we defeated this dragon now?”
“Then why haven’t we seen the hope of defeating the Demon King yet?”
"Yeah, I still feel like I don't have a clue."
They felt that they were really patient this time.
More than half a year has passed since Red Dragon was captured.
The summer harvest is over.
But they still have no clue.
So they went to find the prophet at the entrance of the village again.
The Brave Spear said: "Great Prophet, this red dragon is now very obedient."
"Then what should we do next?"
"Did the red dragon really obey?" Wen Rensheng asked.
He could easily see the development behind it.
“Yeah, look how obedient that red dragon is. It doesn’t do evil now, but works in exchange for food.”
“Haha, you’re right. Things were done well, the dragon has indeed integrated into the villagers smoothly, but have you really defeated him?" Wen Rensheng asked again.
"Yes, we have defeated it. You see it is so honest and obedient, are there any other problems?"
Everyone was also confused.
Wen Rensheng shook his head and said: "It is just your prisoner now, your slave."
"It did not volunteer to do so much work."
"You must build a bond with him."
"What is a bond?"
"It is a relationship that allows each other to trust each other in life and death. Only in this way can it be truly defeated. Otherwise, it will only be regarded as defeating him." Wen Rensheng explained.
Down?
Then they understood.
Now they just use the red dragon as a labor force.
But I didn't really make friends with it.
How to make friends with the red dragon?
Soon they had an idea.
The brave men said to the villagers: "Now the red dragon is considered one of us."
"It is no longer a slave or prisoner. It has solved its sins. ”
"You should take out your own food and give part of it to the red dragon."
"Not just let it eat this mud and let it work in vain."
Originally the brave man One would think that the villagers would object.
However, what makes them feel happy and relieved is that these villagers are still very simple and they are not greedy.
They have long felt that after the great harvest, the red dragon should not continue to eat mud.
Even a pig is not raised like this, right?
If the red dragon were a cow, it would eat better than humans.
“What the brave man said is right.”
“Yes, it has helped us obtain so much food. We can’t finish the food in several years now. We use it to raise pigs. Sheep, then feed the dragon."
Soon they reached an agreement with the red dragon.
They barbecue steaks for Red Dragon once a week.
Feed him three pigs at a time.
Because the villagers have abundant food, each household raises 5 pigs.
There are three hundred households in this village, which can raise more than 1,000 pigs. If this is the case, it will be enough for the red dragon to eat.
Of course, it’s just a tooth-beating ceremony, and it doesn’t really make you full.
Let the dragon eat freely, and a whole country can be eaten up.
For these villagers, this is a very cost-effective thing.
More than 1,000 pigs are paid every year, which may seem like a lot, but it is paid by the whole village.
But they were able to harvest far more than ten times more food than before.
The food they got from the red dragon far exceeded the feed food they paid.
While the villagers and the red dragon were living in harmony, the brave men were also very happy.
But the good times did not last long, and soon the nearby lords heard that there was a red dragon here.
Furthermore, the red dragon can even compete with hundreds of cattle.
The lord immediately sent people to snatch the red dragon.
The lord was a baron.
The baron's stewards and knights came to the village with great force.
They said: "Such a good dragon should be given to the lord for use!"
"And the taxes in your village will be adjusted again."
"You guys 90% of all the food harvested this time must be handed over to the lord.”
"We have worked hard on this land, why do you want to harvest 90% of it?" Brave Spear said angrily.
"It's ridiculous, how can these untouchables have their own land? These lands belong to the lord."
"The lord just temporarily allocates the land to you for your use."
Yes, in this feudal Middle Ages, not to mention the land, even these forests, rivers and mountains, all belonged to the lords.
If you go up to the mountains to cut firewood or go down to the river to fish, you have to pay taxes to the lord and get the lord's permission.
Otherwise, the limbs will be cut off.
Or drive you out of the village.
These villagers used to live in this insensitive way.
It can be said that they are all on the verge of death.
It is precisely because of this that many people are willing to take risks and become mercenaries.
It's really because in my hometown, the chances of surviving are not high.
At this time, the lord also sent a group of knights to recover their food.
Every one of the villagers was very depressed.
But they couldn't resist.
I had to quickly find the brave men to deal with these lords.
The last time they fought against the Demon King for leveling, they had no conflict with the Lord.
Because they fight monsters, which is equivalent to maintaining order for the lord, so the lord treats them well.
They went to the lord's castle and met the lord.
This time, the lord met them and said:
"Since the red dragon is a thing in the mountain, everything on the mountain belongs to me."
"So the red dragon is naturally mine. Don't say any more."
"In short, I want to take this red dragon away, and you are not allowed to have any objections."
Brave man They were very angry and said:
"But the red dragon is us, we captured it, and we have the right to arrange it."
"Hahaha, what rights do you have? You robbed it It’s my stuff, and I let it work for you for a year. I wish I didn’t ask you for compensation.”
The lord said fiercely, "Get out of here, otherwise, I will issue a wanted order for you and declare you as thieves!"
The brave men were very angry.
So they decided to use their fists.
Since their words didn't make sense, they immediately beat up the lord's knights and the lord himself.
The lord had no choice but to beg for mercy.
"Sure enough, relying on your mouth is worse than relying on your fists."
"Criticism of weapons is still better than weapons of criticism."
The lord who escaped with his life was very angry.
He then reported it to the king.
And make a request.
The king then heard that there was a red dragon among the villagers.
And the red dragon is full of treasures.
This dragon is equivalent to the labor force of a thousand cows.
The king was very interested in this.
You must know that in this feudal Middle Ages, kingdoms like theirs were actually very small.
The labor force of a thousand cows is definitely a number that should not be underestimated.
And the most important thing is this red dragon, which has a long lifespan.
It can be said that it can live for thousands of years.
In other words, catching this red dragon is equivalent to robbing his descendants of a cow that has been used for thousands of years.
This is not comparable to ordinary cattle.
After thinking of this, the king immediately sent out his most elite direct guard.
Including 60 guard knights, 200 elite knights, and 1,000 heavy infantry.
This is already a very powerful force for the king.
If the Red Dragon can become his labor force, he can completely double his direct power.
These feudal powers, especially the medieval city-states, were often very small.
With an area of 70,000 to 80,000 square kilometers, it is a very large and accomplished force.
This is actually pretty good.
So, the value brought by this red dragon cannot be underestimated.
There are even some people among the court mages who say that taking out the dragon's blood or even the dragon's heart can make magic medicine for immortality.
After this rumor spread, the king wanted to catch the red dragon even more.
Soon the four brave men found themselves facing new challenges.
The king's soldiers are very powerful.
Of course, in front of the brave, it is still not enough.
After a hard battle, the brave men defeated the team directly under His Majesty the King.
However, because they were not easy to kill, they defeated each other, but in the end they had to retreat in embarrassment.
for the king sent more men.
Although they are just ordinary soldiers.
But it is even more difficult to deal with.
The main reason is that they are ruthless.
Killing monsters is enough to level up, but killing too many people is not.
The king then began to attack the village.
As a last resort, the villagers hurried to find the prophet at the entrance of the village.
Wen Rensheng told them directly: "You can run into the mountains and live in the dragon cave."
Some villagers were very depressed.
“Obviously when we didn’t have dragons before, we could still live peacefully.”
"Although it is a bit harder, there is no need to leave home.
" Now that there is a dragon, it will cause such a big disaster. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? "
Wen Rensheng said: "This is the so-called blessing in disguise. How could you know that it is not a blessing? "
He then began to tell the four warriors.
"The reason why you can't defeat the devil is because you don't have real power. ”
"The real power actually lies in these villagers."
"Do you understand now? It is not easy for you to defeat the king now."
"Because you are still a brave person now."
"You must go from brave to king. After becoming the king, you can defeat the devil."
"Yes," these brave men suddenly realized, "I understand, we defeat King and then become king”
"Our defeat of this red dragon actually requires us to dominate the world. Only by dominating the world can we truly own this dragon."
"This is the real defeat of the dragon."
