I build an army in a two-dimensional world

In the mining field.

Coolipas from the [Clan] level were patrolling.

They are equipped with spears and helmets, and are arranged in a square formation. There are forty of them. These guys seem to be the new branch of the tribe - spear warriors!

Each craftsman apprentice is working hard. They have mastered the basic operations of smelting and can independently produce [Spurs] and [Helmets].

The number of coolies serving as [hard workers] has also doubled.

They continuously carry two kinds of ore, Ji Zi and Gu Zi, back from a distance.

During this time, wars between tribes in the Denor region continued to escalate, and many tribes were destroyed.

Many Coolipas lost their homes and wandered in the territories of various tribes, and were undoubtedly expelled.

These tribes are in the era of "hunting nomads" and have not mastered farming technology. They can only capture energy particles inefficiently, and their productivity is very weak. They will not allow Coolipa to steal energy from their territory.

However, Wang Fugui's small border tribe did not reject anyone who came and took in these coolie handkerchiefs.

Because of the shortage of manpower in the mining fields, these poor homeless people were arranged to work in the Asal Mountains.

This is the difference between [Hunting and Nomadism] and [Farming]. Farming focuses on production, is highly efficient, and can convert population into productive forces to meet the population's demand for energy.

However, hunting nomads cannot do this. As the population increases, the burden on the tribe will only increase until it falls into a state of poverty and weakness.

What happens in the two-dimensional world is very similar to the development history of human civilization.

In the age of human nomadic hunting, the number was very small, but after entering the agricultural age, the number began to grow explosively.

After those wandering Coolipas joined Wang Fugui's tribe, they happened to catch up with the expansion of Jizi Mining Field, and they became hard labor in mining ores.

Although they only have the status of slaves and have a low status, compared to being expelled and killed, this is considered a very good treatment, so their enthusiasm is not low.

A small part stayed to cultivate [Farms] around the tribe's base camp, while the rest arrived at the [Mining Fields] in the Asal Mountains.

Wang Fugui made a rough estimate and found that there were more than [-] hard workers in the entire mining field, but there were less than [-] in the tribal headquarters.

Compared to when the tribe was first established, it is already a huge difference.

In the mining field, there is another type. It is different from the ordinary coolie, but an extremely old insect wanderer.

It doesn't work either. It usually lives in the corner of the mining site. It only appears when it's looking for food and eats the energy with Coolipa.

This made Gu Long very angry, and he repeatedly suggested that Wang Fugui kill it or expel it.

But Wang Fugui did not do this because he knew that once he drove away the old insect man, he would probably be eaten by the Wafu beast.

While Wang Fugui was still studying Guzi ore in the workshop, the insect man moved in his direction.

The old guy moved slowly, like a snail in the two-dimensional world, and finally reached Wang Fugui's side.

It observed Wang Fugui for a long time, became curious, and asked slowly: "What are you doing?"

Wang Fugui replied while tinkering with the ore: "I am observing the world."

The old insect man walked around Wang Fugui, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You are nothing like us insect people..."

"It's not like that."

"I have been observing you for a long time, and the things you do are very weird. You must have secrets in your body!" The old insect man said again: "I doubt that you are not an insect person in this world... Could you be?" Those guys from the end of the world..."

"end of the world?"

"Yes, that is an ancient legend." The old insect man said: "Our world has existed for a long time, but in the ancient times, there was still an end of the world where gods lived."

"god?"

"In a strange world, there is a terrifying existence. The ancient bug-men tried to attack that guy, but failed."

Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "How do you know this?"

"This is a legend...Does the end of the world really exist?" the old insect man asked.

Wang Fugui hesitated for a while and said, "Maybe it exists."

"Then are you a god?"

"I'm not a god."

"Of course, if you were a god, you wouldn't study these things here." The old insect man muttered, stopped talking, turned around, and slowly moved towards his lair.

Wang Fugui looked at the old insect man leaving with a suspicious look on his face, which was a little strange.

This guy has been defecting to me for a while, and sometimes he talks about it, and his origin is even more of a mystery.

At this moment, Gu Long came over and said secretly next to Wang Fugui: "Lord, this guy doesn't work all day long. Do you want me to kill it secretly and share it with those coolies?"

"No, no, no." Wang Fugui paused and said: "Its origin is unknown, but it has not done anything evil. If we kill it because of its old age, then the other insect wanderers will not dare to join us in the future. ”

"But there is news from the south that the Gorma tribe wants us to increase the number of energy tributes." Gulong said with worry, "We do not have the ability to support such a burden."

"This is indeed what I'm worried about." Wang Fugui muttered: "According to the intelligence, the Gorma tribe has been victorious in foreign wars one after another, has destroyed several small tribes, went to war and used up most of the resources, so that's why they thought Ask for more energy from us."

"Yes, the Gorma tribe is now more powerful!" Goulong said again: "They sent Baba Mo to ask for more nengzi."

"The Gorma tribe is greedy..." Wang Fugui thought about it and said, "But they have many level 2 bugs. If they start a war rashly, we will suffer big losses."

Although the Gorma tribe was greedy and shameless, and even got worse and misbehaved in Wang Fugui's tribal territory, he still tolerated it.

Now he is just a minister.

Before he truly possesses the strength, he must endure it. All he can do is to increase the training of Asar [Spear Soldier].

Giant Moor, Bronzebeard and Spearmen are all the weapons of the tribe.

Each Coolipa warrior is very hard-working. They are clumsy, but they know how to protect their territory and private property.

But Wang Fugui became more and more worried, and what he was most worried about happened.

The Gorma tribe discovered their farm and sent bugmen to rob our farm of energy without restraint.

When the news reached the mining site, all two-dimensional creatures were furious.

What is Nengzi?

That is food, and anyone who robs them of their food will definitely fight to the death!

Under Wang Fugui's training, these coolies are no longer as reckless and out of control as before.

But Wang Fugui knew that the Gorma tribe wanted to kill the goose to obtain the eggs. If there was a shortage of nengzi, his tribe would fall apart.

Not only the tribe's base camp, but also the Asal mining field were all plunged into chaos.

The war between him and the Gorma tribe is imminent.

Whether it was Gollon, Coolipa, or the giant Moorish insect warrior Bronzebeard, they all clamored to go south to drive away the marauders.

Only Wang Fugui remained clear. He knew that once the war started, there would be no turning back. It would be best if he could win. If he couldn't win, his tribe would be in doom.

Gulong begged in front of him: "Lord, let's kill them! Those guys are so hateful, they want to take away all our energy, and we will all be hungry in the future. I hate them so much!"

All the coolies looked at Wang Fugui blankly and agreed with Gu Long's words.

"I hate it too!" Wang Fugui said slowly: "I originally wanted to wait until our army grew stronger before fighting them, but it was too late. But have you ever thought about it, if we lose, we will have to flee again. .”

"I'm not afraid." Gu Long said.

"Agula——" Each coolipa also called out, their thoughts were the same as Gulong's. Even the giant mole bug man Bronzebeard made a "whirring" sound.

And at this moment, a voice sounded: "No, these stupid coolies are also encouraging you to go to destruction, you have to calm down."

Gulong and Kulipa were both stunned for a moment. The one who spoke out turned out to be the usually lazy old insect man.

I saw the old insect man slowly moving towards Wang Fugui, and it said: "Although you have made Kulipa stronger and subdued the giant mole insect man, you are still far from being able to compete with them!"

Gu Long was not happy. He raised his stabbing spear and bared his teeth at the old insect man: "You have eaten so many energy from our tribe, and you are still causing trouble. I am going to kill you, a rip-off!"

The rest of the Kulipas were all doing the same movements as Gulong.

"It's precisely because I ate your energy that I don't want to see you die in vain." When the old insect man saw a group of coolies surrounding him, he didn't panic at all and started chanting an ancient spell.

The spell of the two-dimensional world is actually a curvature fluctuation that can stimulate the senses of two-dimensional creatures.

Suddenly, every Coolipa howled, and even Gulong was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly. Only the Level 2 Giant Moor Insect Man was not affected.

The old insect man, who was originally weak and about to die, actually forced back Wang Fugui's coolie handkerchief spearmen.

Wang Fugui originally thought that the identity of the old insect man was a bit strange. After seeing this scene, he became even more confused and asked: "You are not an ordinary wanderer. Where are you from?"

"My home has been destroyed for a long time, and I have forgotten where I came from." The old insect man said.

"Then are you a friend or an enemy?"

"I have no ill intentions towards you." The old insect man said: "No tribe on this continent is willing to take me in, and only you, a stupid insect man, are willing to hand over your energy to a weak old insect man like me. I want to help You give me a handful."

"help me?"

"Yes, if I don't help you, where should I go to find a tribe that can take me in?" The old insect man said: "There are giant mammoths in the Asal Mountains. If I are allowed to care for them, this battle will be impossible." Your chances of winning will be greatly increased!"

Wang Fugui couldn't help but murmured: "Are you talking about those level 2 monsters - giant mammoths!?"

"Yes."

"Although the giant mammoth will not actively attack two-dimensional creatures, it is a level 2 monster after all. Once it annoys them, it will be very violent. How can the giant mammoth obey the invitation of the insect race... ..”

"Although I don't remember where I come from, I vaguely remember that I was a wizard! My name is... Zeratul..." the old insect man said.

"Wizard? Zeratul?"
