Chapter 12 Monster?
After a long yawn, Xu Lai asked half of the farmers and shooters to rest, while the other half continued to patrol and be vigilant.
Under Su Ya's persuasion, he fell asleep again leaning against the wooden stake on the fence.
The howling of wolves was still intermittent, but after all, it was extremely far away. Even though there was almost no obstruction in the vast open space on the grassland, it was still not clear when it reached Xu Lai.
If the farmer hadn’t reminded him before, Xu Lai might not have heard it at all, so the wolf howling didn’t affect his sleep at all.
When he got up the next morning, Xu Laicai asked Su Ya like an afterthought:
"Su Ya, do you think that small village can stop the wolves? Didn't you say that the wolves Is there a wolf king in the group? What level of creature is the wolf king?"
Su Ya shook her head with a bad expression: "It's hard to say, if it is an ordinary wolf pack in the wild, it will rarely attack. Village.
There are countless wild animals in the wild. Just for hunting, there is really no need to conflict with the village, unless this village steals the wolf cubs.
General grassland villages will. There are a certain number of militiamen, and the grassland people are good at shooting. There is a high proportion of militia shooters in the militia. With long guns and fences to resist, it is difficult for ordinary wolves to win.
As for the Wolf King, this depends on the type.
If it is a prairie wolf, the Wolf King is a level 2 creature.
But if it is the wolf raised by the orcs on the other side of the mountain, the Wolf King is a level 3 creature. I heard that the orcs still raise it With the frost wolf, the ordinary species of this wolf pack has level 3 strength, the giant wolf has level 4 strength, and the wolf king is as high as level 5. "
Xu Lai smacked his lips. He really wanted to know how big the so-called giant wolf was, but he could guess from the name that this kind of creature is probably not suitable for living in the grassland.
But who can say for sure? The food here can grow in 24 hours, the fish in the river are big and fat, there is only a mountain between the vast grassland and the beach, and the topography is endlessly changing. .
After everyone had a good breakfast, Xu Lai arranged for more people to open up a few more farmlands. The entire team including him included 21 people, plus the 2 taels of grain needed for farming, which equaled about 23 units of grain consumed every day.
A piece of farmland can only provide 10 units of food 24 hours a day if it is cared for continuously. In addition, farmers who fish can barely make a surplus by getting more than ten units of meat a day.
If you are unlucky one day, you may be in debt, so it is definitely necessary to open more fields.
Other than that, the only resource he can collect now is a little bit of wood. In the morning, he still sent 4 farmers to cut wood, and at the same time, six trainee shooters patrolled around the farmers.
Although these people under my command are dull, they can carry out combat tasks such as patrolling, guarding, and standing guard without any problems.
As long as Xu Lai sets a patrol range for them, they will automatically keep walking within this range, and can actively launch attacks when hostile targets enter the attack range.
Of course, six trainee shooters are not reliable, but Xu Lai also has something to do this morning. He has to leave the camp for a while, and he must also bring a few bodyguards with him.
Originally there were not many manpower, but this division of troops was simply stretched everywhere.
But he had no choice. He couldn't create more people, and he couldn't stay in this camp with no resources.
Since you have to go out sooner or later, you might as well take this opportunity to get used to it early.
In the endless grassland, Xu Lai still has an impression of where the village was last night.
But before he went too far, because there were almost no landmarks in sight, Xu Lai felt that he seemed to have lost his way.
Fortunately, there is Su Ya who grew up in the grassland beside him. Xu Lai doesn't have to worry about getting lost as long as he follows her.
This woman only stayed with him for a day, but Xu Lai already had enough trust and dependence on her. About half an hour later, Xu Lai, who was sitting high on the horse, could already see the villages in the distance.
This village was much larger than Xu Lai's camp. Not only was the entire village surrounded by taller and thicker fences, Xu Lai even saw a watchtower about two or three stories high.
With such a high watchtower, the other party would naturally have discovered Xu Lai and the others long ago.
However, Xu Lai and the others were all dressed up like humans, and Xu Lai even wore robes that only knights were qualified to wear.
Therefore, the village did not put too much vigilance. The fence at the gate was still open, and a burly, muscular man was walking out of the village in a hurry.
This strong man was naked to the waist, with bandages on his chest and shoulders, and there were several men behind him.
These men were also tall and strong. Some held spears in their hands, while others held long bows and carried quivers on their backs.
As far as the appearance of these people is concerned, except for the difference in armor, both their appearance and weapons are much better than the trainee marksman behind Xu Lai.
Even the third-level archer holds only a guerrilla bow. It is longer than the trainee archers, but it is also limited. It is far from comparable to the big bows in the hands of those few people. Compare.
The strong man in the lead was even more terrifying. He was not as tall as Xu Lai, who had greatly enhanced his physique. However, Xu Lai felt that the other man was twice as wide as him.
Of course this is an exaggeration, but from Xu Lai's own perspective, it is really not an exaggeration at all.
"Who are these people?"
Before Xu Lai could speak, Su Ya took it directly and said: "We are adventurers passing by. We saw fire and howling wolves here last night.
My master wanted to come over last night to provide support, but it was inconvenient late at night, so he came here early in the morning to see if he could provide some help. ”
Na Zhuang. Han kept scanning Xu Lai and Su Ya's bodies with his eyes, then looked at the four shooters following them, frowned and said:
"No need to help, the wolves were killed last night We fought back. If you have any medicine or healing spells, you can help.”
Su Ya shrugged helplessly and said: "We have traveled so far and have exhausted all the supplies. We don't have these things and we don't know how to heal."
The strong man nodded and said: "Looking at how you are dressed, it doesn't look like this. Just an ordinary adventurer."
At this time, a young man holding a bow behind the strong man suddenly whispered something into the strong man's ear.
The strong man frowned and walked directly over Su Ya to Xu Lai and said:
"Your Excellency, are those people behind you your subordinates?"
Xu Lai was stunned and glanced at them subconsciously. The four of them stood in a very standard manner, each holding a dagger in their hands and looking on guard.
"Well, yes, they are all warriors under my command."
However, the strong man roared: "Soldiers? Look at their dull eyes and identical equipment. These I’m afraid they are all monsters!”
Xu Lai opened his mouth and asked in confusion: “Monsters?”
