Chapter 173: Wenqiu and Li Ya
Chapter 173: Wenqiu and Li Ya
When Abes received the letters from the Min-Qing warriors, the accompanying letter also contained a summary table.
Although it is a bit rough, once this idea is born, subsequent work becomes easier.
And through the reply from the Lord of Slime City, Abes also changed his opinion of the other party.
At the very beginning, after successfully blocking the Lizardman team and General Paddy's team in Sweet Leaf Town, and successfully extracting from those soldiers that the Lord of Sludge City wanted to completely surrender to their General Paddy, Abes originally thought that the other party was just a coward.
During the negotiation, because of his powerful strength, he saw through the invisible thorn beasts and ambushes arranged by the other party, so he thought that the other party was stupid and bad.
The change began with the conversation, in which they discussed everything, including policies and implementation, and how to keep the world in good shape, for more than 40 minutes.
At that time, Abes knew that even if there was no class that betrayed its interests, the great nobleman in front of him, Bad Genia, who controlled the entire Mud City, was definitely an individual who betrayed his class.
And now, the reply letter further illustrates this point.
The ability to learn, the patience to spare no effort, and the willingness to keep fighting, all of these make the other party enough to follow closely by your side and jointly build a new country with more freedom and dignity.
He had made detailed and appropriate arrangements for the people he had arranged for. He himself had already carried out reforms in the Mud City and eliminated a lot of resistance. Now, with the people he had arranged for filling in those connected networks, he was naturally like a fish in water.
And sending this trick to the Wenqiu clan was also a clever move.
"Okay, very good."
Abes felt particularly excited while reading the letter.
I am now preparing to attack Crow Castle from both ends, so sending a group of warriors over would be extremely useful.
How to make this stubborn, obstinate group of people who are not willing to listen to others' explanations listen to you?
The simplest way is to take them to the front line, let them experience a real battle, and let them realize that they, the brave men, are indeed fighting against those warlord forces. That is enough.
This is the simplest evidence and more useful than any rhetoric.
In addition, Bard also told himself that the Minqiu people can not only be used as warriors, but their special physical conditions allow them to perform some reconnaissance and invasion operations that are difficult for ordinary people to do.
But because of this, Bard was worried that these guys would cause chaos in the capital and that they would pose a danger to him as the leader.
As for the other party's reminder, Abes just laughed.
Come on then. Once we arrive, we will send them directly to the front line to see whether they will choose to deal with themselves first or with the soldiers of the Crow Castle first.
The only thing that might be a bit troublesome is the characteristics of the Minqiu people.
They are afraid of fire... So, I'm afraid I can't mix them with the team I built using magic arm armor.
The other party's peculiar physique could be used to make some interesting arrangements.
----------
When this group of wet and soft creatures appeared at the end of the horizon, the soldiers in charge of guarding the royal capital were almost about to mobilize the city's crossbows to attack.
Many people still remember vividly the scene of the black mud and the attack by undead creatures that day.
Although the guarding soldiers have been replaced by Philip and others, I still have some impression of the situation on that day.
After all, between the time when Abes and his men broke in and the time when he ordered the statue base of the Asmo Holy Warrior to be used to suppress the rebellion, the accumulated black mud still launched three attacks.
Although they were completely unable to cross the city wall each time, it definitely left a very deep impression on the people who stayed behind at that time.
And now, the appearance of the Wenqiu tribe sent by the Mud City also made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Later, many people belatedly remembered this strange race.
Although not as common as tieflings in the fallen North, the Min-Qing people are also famous for their characteristics.
"It's that slime-like race. I heard that a group of them gathered in the Ooze City a few years ago. There are also many in Zhongzhou and the west."
"I read about it in a book. It tastes great. It's rare that it's not eaten up..."
"I heard that they are immortal and can escape with their hearts and lungs fully opened after being eaten. Is this true?"
If the reputation of the surrendered Lizardmen warriors in the capital and Sweetleaf Town was one of ruggedness, bravery, and straightforwardness;
Then the warriors of the Wenqiu tribe have a hint of mystery in everyone's heart. Although they look soft, they are definitely not weak!
The leader of the Minqin tribe was the Mint who had confronted Abes for a long time that day and had half of his waist cut off by Abes with a sword.
Now, her appearance still looks unharmed, and there is no sign that she was almost broken in two.
Before they even got close to the royal capital, they had already begun discussions.
"The king has grown bigger!"
The enlarged royal capital they were talking about was naturally the new city area outside the east gate.
In fact, as time has passed, the new city area built around the teleportation stele outside the east gate has taken its general shape. Although the construction of the city wall is the slowest, because of mass-produced steel, daily life and even ordinary buildings of all sizes have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Mint seemed a little annoyed.
After all, in addition to fighting, the Minqin tribe also shoulders some reconnaissance missions arranged by Bad Genia, the lord of the Slime City.
As they are able to regenerate severed limbs and rarely die from physical damage, they have a unique method of reconnaissance.
That is to release a part of yourself, and when it comes back and merges with the body, the information and intelligence observed by that part will be gathered together.
It can be said that at this moment, when the small kingdom has suddenly fallen apart and is filled with bandits, rebels and warlords, the Lord of the Slime City, Bad Genia, is still able to find out information about the surrounding forces, thanks to the peculiar characteristics of the Minqiu tribe.
"If you had conducted a thorough investigation, you wouldn't have come to the strange conclusion that the people who captured the capital were a group of peasants and criminal soldiers."
In her opinion, it was because of such wrong decisions that her city lord lost control.
At the beginning, this group of people were lazy and just watched from a distance the refugees and criminal soldiers attacking the city, but did not go deep into the royal capital to see what was going on and see it clearly. This led to their current situation.
"And now, we are being sent to the capital by the city lord to become someone else's sword and someone else's scout. I feel very unwilling..."
However, many members of the Minqiu tribe did not care about the criticism from Mint, who was the leader.
After all, a reconnaissance mistake is a reconnaissance mistake, but the person Lord Bard took to the meeting that day was you, Mint.
Even though you are the strongest fighter, you can't let Lord Bad gain the dominant advantage. So what can they do even if they have figured it out?
Perhaps guessing what his fellow tribesmen were thinking, Mint just frowned and touched his waist.
"Except for those strange weapons that spit fire and that tall man with golden eyes, the rest of the humans are still no match for me."
The battle failed and the reconnaissance information failed. It was because of this series of failures that they needed to change their course.
"Okay, Mint, be quiet. We swear allegiance to that guy Bud because he protects [that thing]." The one who answered Mint was the pony under her crotch, which was also transparent and wet. "And protection is destined not to be done alone. He must be able to keep this piece of land well."
"Since Bard now believes that following the capital will allow the surrounding areas to live and work in peace, why don't we help them?"
----------
The accommodation that Abes provided to the Minqiu people was a group of empty rooms in the new urban area that had been built but not yet allocated.
dong dong!
Listening to the sounds made by their palms when they touched the metal walls, they were finally convinced that the news Lord Mint told them was true.
There really is a house made entirely of metal!
Moreover, perhaps Lord Bard had already informed them of their needs, the design of these steel prefabricated houses looked a little different from those where other citizens lived.
For example, they need water and a humid environment to stay alive, and they also produce water and moisture themselves.
Therefore, there is no wooden furniture in the entire room, but instead painted metal and stone furniture are used extensively.
Only in the Royal Capital and Sweet Leaf City, where there is no shortage of steel production, can there be such an extraordinary design.
"In the Ooze City, we sleep on stone beds more often..."
Secondly, although they have feet and shoes when they walk, generally speaking, they still prefer another form -
After a puff, the legs mimicked by the Min-Qing people turned into a skirt that looked like a huge crinoline, presenting a gel-like base with extremely elasticity.
For this form, they need a smooth surface.
Abes is also prepared for this.
Although tiles were not yet fired, glass (the cloudy glass of the Middle Ages) was already available, so this glass was laid on the ground to facilitate their movement in this form.
“Too luxurious…”
Due to productivity constraints, and of course because their numbers are small and their characteristics are very different from humans, the Minqiu people living in the Mud City do not have the opportunity to have such a living experience.
And now, when Abes showed them the new room he had arranged and decorated, many of these straightforward jelly people actually laughed happily, as if they had completely forgotten that they had expressions of deep hatred and resentment on their faces when they walked into the walls and gates of the royal capital.
Seeing them smile, Abes was quite pleased. Bud, Bud, you said they were difficult to deal with, but don't you think they are easy to convince?
"Just to ask, you don't have any taboos about food, right?"
"...As long as they don't force us to eat a plate of cold slime, I think most of us can accept it."
Although the Min-Qin tribe is a little peculiar, their excellent digestive ability also allows them to have no dietary restrictions. Except for the cold-mixed slime - it's not because of indigestion, but mainly because this thing is too much like them! !
"Ahem, there are some restaurants built in the new city. If you want to eat, just go and eat. I have already informed them in advance and asked them to send your bill to the palace for payment."
"In short, accommodation, food, and every aspect of daily life have been arranged, and this is the good news. In fact, since you arrived very soon after the letter came, I haven't arranged it perfectly yet."
"So what you mean is..." Mint raised her head. As a female warrior who had fought with Abes before, she was still wary and had complicated emotions. She was also one of the few Minqiu people who arrived at their new home but did not turn their legs into a semi-fluid lower body.
"So, there's more bad news?"
Abes smiled and said, "The bad news is that before you can enjoy these things, you will have to go on a business trip with me to Sweet Leaf Town - now Sweet Leaf City."
----------
Of course, Abes was not taking the slime man and slime woman on vacation to have a software transformation party, but to start a battle against the Crow Castle.
As for how to arrange and deal with the fire-fearing Minqiu tribe on the battlefield, Abes thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a solution. Just fight them separately.
Ravenhold is a huge military fortress, and such a huge area means one thing.
If the magic cannons and soldiers equipped with magic arm armor attack from one direction;
Then when the Wenqiu tribe launches an attack on the other side, they will definitely not be harmed by the fire.
And now, with the Ooze City joining forces with them, the Ooze City and Sweetleaf Town have become two sides of the Crow Castle.
As long as the magic cannon launches an attack on one side to attract the enemy to change direction, the Minqin tribe can attack from the other side.
However, the magic cannon that had been built in the royal capital - or the catapult used to throw enlarged versions of grenades - was not very convenient to move.
They have not yet tested whether such a large device can be transferred via the teleportation tablet.
Therefore, rather than transferring the magic cannon, Abes naturally chose to transfer people first.
Although the Wenqiu people are a little special, they are ultimately human beings.
This was the first time that this group of people were involved in a war. Many people had no experience and even had doubts and disbelief about this rare race.
Therefore, this time, the one who led the Minqiu tribe could only be Abes.
"Fortunately, Cannon has been training for a long time, and has become proficient in the use of the magic arm armor. It should be fine without me."
In addition, Abes also wanted to test the Min-Qing tribe, which was said to be very useful for reconnaissance, raids, and invasions.
