The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

Li Ke seemed to realize this himself, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he simply cut to the subject, "If the number of hyena people is only two or three hundred, then our odds of winning are actually very good. "

"This time, you brought two hundred troops, right?" Zhou Yi asked calmly after hearing this.

"That's right." Rick nodded.

The individual combat power of orc soldiers is different from that of human soldiers after all. Two hundred werewolf soldiers are basically comparable to 500 human soldiers. powerful.

This force is indeed not weak, but the problem is that the number of hyenas is more than the number of werewolves on this expedition.

After Zhou Yi pondered for a while, the calm voice sounded again, "We still have the advantage of weapons and equipment, and with the support of fifty crossbowmen, if we really fight, the odds of winning should be great."

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded subconsciously. Obviously, it thought so too. Without weapons and equipment, it would be too unwise to fight the hyenas far outnumbering them, but Now they have an advantage

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Zhou Yi's conversation suddenly changed, "But you don't forget, the purpose of His Majesty ordering us to go out this time is to recruit the barbarians in the northern mountains and forests, so as to expand the strength of our civilization in the Ten Thousand Realms." troops"

Hearing this, Li Ke's face changed slightly. There is no doubt that he already knew what Zhou Yi wanted to say, and what Zhou Yi said next was basically the same as what he thought.

I just heard Zhou Yi continue to say, "Facing that number of hyenas, we can indeed win by relying on the advantages of weapons and equipment, but the point is that the casualties will be damaged before we recruit the barbarians and expand our troops." A large number of troops, wouldn't that put the cart before the horse?"

Li Ke can't refute at all, because Zhou Yi is right, against such a large group of hyenas, even with equipment, Li Ke can't say that they can easily defeat each other [-]%, and casualties are impossible. Avoided.

"Then what do you say?"

Faced with this problem, Zhou Yi thought about it for a while, and then slowly said, "The main thing is to deal with the hyenas. We are divided into two groups. Your werewolf troops are responsible for dealing with the hyenas, and I am responsible for leading Jie Zichuan and the rest of us." people to recruit those barbarians"

"At the same time, we will send a few more messengers to go back and tell His Majesty the situation here, and let His Majesty send troops to respond to us. When that time comes, everything will be settled."

"So, the key is how to deal with it." Li Ke said directly to the point, "The number of hyenas outnumbered my werewolf troops, and dealing with each other, if you are not careful, the casualties may be even greater than the direct attack."

"That's really a problem."

Zhou Yi nodded, and when he was thinking about what means to use to deal with the hyena man, Jie Zichuan, who had been sitting beside him without saying a word, raised his hand

"How about laying a trap?"

,

Chapter 398 , Arranging Trap

"Arranging traps" Zhou Yi frowned slightly when he heard this proposal, "This is indeed a solution, but the problem is that it takes a lot of time to arrange a certain number of traps. Will the hyenas give us so much time?"

"Don't worry, it doesn't take much time."

"How to say" In the darkness, Zhou Yi couldn't see Jie Zichuan's expression clearly, but he could feel the obvious confidence in the other's words.

"Near this mountain forest, there are actually many potholes and traps that were originally used to hunt wild animals. As long as they are trimmed a little, it doesn't take much time to re-arrange them."

"So that's how it is." A flash of clarity flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. Unlike the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms, the still very backward barbarian tribe still had to rely on catching wild animals to solve the food problem to a large extent, so relatively speaking, it was very economical. Heart pit traps have become their first choice, and there must be a lot of them.

"But I still have a problem. If you want to use traps to deal with the enemy, you must first be familiar with the terrain. The terrain of the mountains and forests in the north is complex, and the terrain and landscape are very similar. We want to do it in a short time. Remembering the location of a lot of pothole traps, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

This is not because he is making things difficult for Jie Zichuan, but just discussing the matter, because the fact is that when he first followed Jie Zichuan into the Beidi mountain forest, he saw almost the same everywhere along the way, basically except for big trees, there were stones and bushes. Basically can't see any more iconic things, which makes them how to recognize the way

If there is no one who is familiar with the terrain to guide them, their propulsion speed is estimated to be several times slower.

"If we want to leave some marks near the trap, the obvious marks will be discovered by the opponent, but if we do it too covertly, we may not have the extra energy to find those marks during the battle. If we don't It turns out that the issue of accidentally injuring one’s own people must also be taken into account.”

Zhou Yi undoubtedly thought a lot and was very thoughtful. When he asked these questions, he was also thinking about solutions in his own mind.

However, Jie Zichuan, who is more familiar with the environment here, undoubtedly has an advantage over Zhou Yi when thinking about this issue, "The marks that can be seen with the eyes are not good, so how about the smell with the nose?"

"Smell?" Jie Zichuan's thoughts made him raise his eyebrows slightly, "However, the hyena man's sense of smell is also very keen, will the other party also notice it?"

"I don't think it's that easy. In fact, there are many plants and fruits in this mountain forest, and there are many smells. If the nose is sharp enough, the smell should be very messy." While speaking, Jie Zichuan turned to look at Li Ke. With a glance, it seems to want to confirm this guess.

Aware of Jie Zichuan's sight, Li Ke nodded, "Yes, there are indeed many smells in this forest."

"Then General Li Ke, can you distinguish all these smells?" Jie Zichuan asked again.

Li Ke thought about this question for a while, then nodded again, "It can be done."

"Then it's easy to handle." While speaking, Jie Zichuan quickly took out some fruits from his bosom.

These fruits were picked on the road when he took Zhou Yi and the others deep into the mountains of the Northland. There was no way. This is an instinctive habit. Take it off and put it in your pocket.

This habit can't be changed for a while, but it comes in handy at times like this.

"After crushing this fruit, it will emit a relatively unique smell. The most important thing is that this fruit is generally only found on the periphery of mountains and forests, but not inside."

Speaking of which, as long as you are not stupid, you should understand. Using the smell of this fruit as a marker, as long as they remember the smell, they can identify the approximate location of the trap.

And the best part is that for the hyena people who are accustomed to smelling all kinds of messy smells, under the cover of other smells, there is another smell quietly.

This kind of thing, if no one told them in advance, who can notice, let alone the situation of chasing and killing the enemy at that time, it is even more impossible to have the extra energy to notice this subtle change.

"Yes, this plan is feasible."

Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction, as he agreed with the plan proposed by Jie Zichuan. At the same time, after pondering for a while, he spoke again.

"General Li Ke, early tomorrow morning, let your werewolf warriors remember this smell first, and then separate out a few waves to lure away the hyenas who are searching for our traces all over the mountain, and help us buy time to set up traps , what do you think of this?"

"I think it's okay, there's no problem." Li Ke nodded and agreed with the plan.

"Then there is still some time before dawn. Take a nap first, take a rest, and keep your spirits up, so that you will have the strength to execute the plan tomorrow."

After speaking, Zhou Yi just leaned against the tent and took a nap. After the discussion just now, he didn't know if his tense nerves had relaxed, and he was a little sleepy again.

The night was silent, and the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Zhou Yi and the others had already woken up one after another. At the same time, it was at this time that Zhou Yi finally saw the true face of the fruit.

Round and dark, I heard Jie Zichuan say that this fruit is unpalatable, sour and astringent. If there is no food, no one would be willing to eat it.

After mashing the fruit into puree, Zhou Yi took a closer look and smelled the smell. It was indeed a recognizable smell.

While eating breakfast, the fruit puree was passed on among the werewolf warriors, and after all the werewolf warriors could remember the smell, the two groups of men and horses officially separated.

Li Ke and the others were responsible for attracting the attention of the hyena people, while Zhou Yi and the others followed Jie Zichuan to repair the potholes and traps. For a while, the originally dead forest became quite lively.

At this moment, the Mingjing City, which is far away in the center of the Wanjie Civilization, is also very lively at this time, especially the entrance of the Luo Jina Hotel is full of people, almost blocking the entire street. All the members of the inspection team were dispatched and ran over to maintain order.

The reason is that the two rows of barbecue grills outside the store are accompanied by a burst of seductive sound, and they are constantly emitting bursts of unbearable fragrance.

Undoubtedly, His Majesty the Emperor is wicked again. In order to sell the coarse salt he just made, he set up a barbecue stall in front of the shop again.

Chapter 399: Salt

With the rapid development of Wanjie civilization, many merchants and shops have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and most of the people in this era pay attention to food and clothing, so among the many storefronts, the number of restaurants is particularly large.

The restaurant run by Luo Ji, with the golden signboard of His Majesty the Emperor standing there, is naturally unlikely to have a bad business, but it doesn't have the pomp and circumstance of the long queues when the restaurant just opened.

But now, the two rows of barbecue racks are placed in a row, but there is a long queue outside his restaurant again, and it feels like he is back to the top.

Naturally, Luo Ji didn't care about the restaurant's revenue at all. The entire civilization of the world belonged to him. Does he need to care about the money?And his purpose this time is undoubtedly to promote the first batch of coarse salt just sent from the salt drying workshop.

However, it is still in the promotion stage, and the sale of coarse salt has not yet officially started. He is not in a hurry for a while. He will do enough promotion first, so that the people can fully understand the benefits of 'salt' as a seasoning. Pique their interest.

It has been said before that salt is a very important resource. In a scientific way, eating salt can supplement the sodium element needed by the human body. To put it bluntly, it is powerless to eat salt.

Of course, the second half of the sentence is not absolute, because some other foods also contain sodium, but eating salt is the easiest way to supplement sodium, and it also has the lowest threshold.

From the point of view of commercial interests, salt is very profitable. The key point is that as long as you understand the method of drying salt, as long as you guard Qingshui Lake, this salt resource is equivalent to inexhaustible and inexhaustible resources. , is completely a costless business, and salt is a necessities of life for everyone, so you don’t have to worry about no one buying it. Can this profit be high?

At the same time, it is precisely because of this huge profit that if the merchants are allowed to bask in and sell salt privately, it will inevitably disrupt the balance of the entire economic system of Wanjie Civilization.

Coupled with the importance of salt to the human body, in the ancient times of the celestial dynasty, salt that was not uncommon at all was controlled and sold by the imperial court, commonly known as official salt, and privately drying and selling salt was a serious crime!

As such, Luo Ji naturally didn't intend to hand over the 'salt' to the merchants. At this time, it would be safer to keep important resources in his own hands, so as not to cause any trouble.

On a new day, looking at the reports in his hand, Luo Ji was in a good mood recently with the smooth promotion of coarse salt. Now, within Myriad Realms Civilization, many people are already talking about this new seasoning.

In just a few days, the salt drying workshop will send over a batch of freshly dried coarse salt, and after hoarding stocks in various cities within the civilization, they can start selling coarse salt at the same time.

Just as Luo Ji was pondering the entire salt trading system, an urgent report from the front line was quickly delivered to him!

"Your Majesty, the urgent report from the Northland!"

Taking this urgent report from a guard, Luo Ji couldn't help frowning, "Northland..."

On the northern side, Luo Ji laid a heavy hand. Two hundred werewolf soldiers who had been replaced with excellent equipment, plus fifty crossbowmen and 150 sword shield soldiers, couldn't they still be able to defeat a group of barbarians and hyenas?

With this doubt in mind, Luo Ji quickly opened the emergency report, and then his pupils shrank for a while, "How many hyena people are there in the mountains and forests in the north?"

Zhou Yi wrote it very clearly in the urgent report that was sent back by marshaling. Although a hard fight can be won, the casualties must be not small, so he adopted the method of entangling the hyenas and incorporating the barbarians. For this, a group of The people responded to them in the periphery of the mountains and forests in the Northland.

Luo Ji undoubtedly agrees with Zhou Yi's approach. What Ten Thousand Realms Civilization lacks now is its military strength. How can it be recklessly depleted with a group of hyenas?As for this candidate...

The fox clan had previously been destroyed by the series of explosions in Tiebi City. At this time, it is estimated that they would not be able to recruit too many troops.

The kobold tribe can still recruit a lot of troops, but these kobolds have only just surrendered, and they are not particularly honest.

And the elephants were almost killed by his bloodletting gun before, and they are still recuperating. They lost too much blood and can survive. It is already considered that their vitality is tenacious, but it is estimated that they will not be able to move in a short time.

After being ruled out for a while, the tauren could only be dispatched. At the same time, just in case, Liu Meng's lieutenant, that is, Zhang Lue, led a [-]-strong team to cooperate with the operation.

After writing the warrant, Luo Ji, after thinking for a while, gave the warrant together with the military talisman to mobilize troops and horses to his chief guard, He Liang.

"He Liang, this time, you will make a trip to the North in person and leave immediately. After passing my warrant, stay there for the time being and help me keep an eye on the situation. If there is any emergency, remember to report it to me in time. ."

"Subordinates take orders!"

He Liang solemnly took over the warrants and military talismans from Luo Ji's hands. After leaving the office, he quickly ordered people to prepare fast horses and food. Then, according to Luo Ji's wishes, he set off immediately and rushed to the front line without stopping.

At the same time, on the other side, in the northern mountain forest, Li Ke and Zhou Yi were also unable to relax for a moment. The horrific howls of the hyenas resounded almost through the entire forest!

Feeling the pressure of the approaching behind him, Li Ke, who brought a team of werewolf warriors, acted according to the plan, fought and retreated, and dealt with the group of hyenas all the way, but he did not fight recklessly at all.

Glancing around for a while, looking at the hyena people who spread out from left to right and flanked up, Li Ke took a breath, and suddenly let out a sneer in his heart, those two places are not very safe...

Just when Li Ke was thinking so, the hyenas who were trying to outflank on both sides obviously stepped on the trap arranged there. After stepping on the empty foot, the heavy body suddenly fell into the pothole trap.

Then, a series of shrill screams followed, and the bottom of the pit trap was covered with sharpened wooden stakes. According to the weight of the hyena, after falling, the fate of the pit could be imagined. Know.

Regarding this result, Li Ke's own mood is also relatively subtle. Who would have thought that without waiting for it to lead, these hyena people who like to flank and kill, they can't wait to take the initiative to step on the trap?

In any case, the deal on its side went quite smoothly. Although the trap is used a lot, these hyena people will definitely pay attention to it, but how can they buy a few days.

And in these few days, what can be achieved depends on the efficiency of Zhou Yi and Jie Zichuan...

The update is here, thank you book friends for the monthly passes of 'Flanking Attack' and 'La La La La'!

Chapter 400, surrender or not?

Zhou Yi and others, who knew the situation at this time, naturally did not dare to slack off for a moment, let Jie Zichuan lead the way, and everyone rushed all the way to the tribe closest to their current location.

As soon as this was approaching, accompanied by an incomprehensible barbaric shout, a stone spear flew directly towards Zhou Yi who was standing in the army formation!

Zhou Yi himself is not known for his bravery, but he still has to figure out one thing, that is, his weakness, when compared with those brave generals with four or even five stars, then of course he is weak.

But the three stars of bravery are not the five scumbags, just come to a barbarian, throw a stone spear and want to kill him?That would be too underestimated...

With a clean and sharp sword, Zhou Yi swept the stone spear thrown over and flew out, and at the same time, Jie Zichuan, who was reacting to the side, also shouted in savage language, "Stop! We are not enemies, we are I'm here to help you!!"

However, the barbarians obviously wouldn't believe what Jie Zichuan said so easily, and their movements did not mean to stop at all.

In the face of such a battle, Zhou Yi certainly would not be ambiguous. The sword and shield soldiers in the front row had already set up the shield formation, and the crossbowmen in the back row had also begun to place crossbow arrows.

It is urgent to follow the right. Although the original purpose was to incorporate these barbarians and expand the strength of the Myriad Realms Civilization, the appearance of a large number of hyenas has made the current situation a bit complicated and urgent.

The time Li Ke can buy is limited. At this juncture, if these barbarians are messing around and don't listen to others, then Zhou Yi doesn't mind letting the crossbowmen use some means and kill a few barbarians to stand up!

It would be great to be able to use peaceful methods to make those barbarians submit to submission, but if the other party did not cooperate and forced the subjugation by force, Luo Ji had also allowed it in advance.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the pressure on Jie Zichuan doubled, and then he seemed to think of something and shouted again in savage language, "Those monsters that have appeared in the vicinity recently have killed all the people of the two tribes! Don't you all Don't you know? If it goes on like this, no one will want to escape the slaughter of those monsters!"

Jie Zichuan's remarks undoubtedly played a role, and the movements of the surrounding barbarians stopped one after another. Zhou Yi, who noticed the change, also waved his hand and signaled the crossbowmen to put down the crossbow temporarily. The sword and shield soldiers continued to maintain the shield formation alert.

After a few seconds of stalemate, a middle-aged man who was suspected of being a barbarian leader shouted a series of words that Zhou Yi couldn't understand in barbarian language, causing him to frown...

"What did he say?"

"Probably asking about our identity and purpose, and at the same time how to deal with those hyenas and the like." Jie Zichuan replied quickly.

After listening to Jie Zichuan's explanation, Zhou Yi nodded, "Just tell them that we are the troops of Wanjie Civilization, and let them accept the inclusion and submit to our Wanjie civilization. At that time, the hyena people will naturally not harm them. , don't ask for trouble."

Zhou Yi and the others have an almost absolute advantage in equipment and strength, so he doesn't need to dawdle with these barbarians, and he doesn't have the time at the same time. What he needs now is efficiency!

Hearing this, Jie Zichuan also smiled bitterly in his heart, but he somewhat understood that according to the strength of this army, especially the fifty crossbowmen, these barbarians could not resist at all.

Under the premise of having overwhelming strength, before the other party takes action directly, it is already a face to be able to patiently ask you 'to surrender or not'.
