The Defeated Dragon

I think the main way to target the Moonkiller tribe is to lure them, Duerte said.

Liszt said irrefutably: Tell me your thoughts carefully.

Your Highness, our Knights have swept away many Moon Slayer tribes in the Whirlpool River Basin and captured nearly 30,000 Moon Slayer serfs. However, as the number of serfs continues to increase, a large number of knights need to be allocated for supervision and defense, which will seriously weaken the knights. Regiment's integrated combat effectiveness.

The knight order has knight squads as the backbone, and against a small tribe of one or two hundred people, a single knight squad can carry out the arrest work very well.

The three or four half-level ancient magicians in the small tribe were no match for the knights at all.

But for a large tribe with thousands of people, one knight squad is not enough. It often takes four or five knight squads to work together to complete the capture work. And a larger tribe of several thousand people even needs a full number of knights to arrest them, and they have to guard against being counterattacked by ancient magicians.

And with the deepening of the arrest of the moon-killing tribe, larger tribes of moon-killing people began to appear. A large tribe may have tens of thousands of people.

In such a tribe, there are quite a few ancient magicians who are already at the level of great magicians, and even the knights have to stay away from the magic volley. If all the knights of the Flame Land participated in the slave capture operation, no matter how large the moonkiller indigenous tribe was, it would be no problem, but the number of knights who reached the Flame Island was not enough.

The number of land knights here is less than 1,600, and the number of apprentice knights is only 2,000. It is really impossible to maintain the safety of the camp and arrest the natives.

So I want to take advantage of the quality of life in the territory to attract the Moon Slayer tribe to take refuge in us automatically. As long as we can provide them with a certain amount of shelter and food, I believe there will be a lot of Moon Slayers. And we can focus on the Moon Slayers. The ancient magician engaged in temptation.

Luring the ancient magician? Liszt frowned, signaling Duert to continue.

The magicians of the Magic Guild are analyzing the magic inheritance of the ancient magicians. To inherit magic, you first need to pass on knowledge, so almost all the knowledge inheritance of the Moon Slayers happened among the ancient magicians. They are a group of high-ranking indigenous people who pursue interests. It is easier to be controlled and corrupted by interests.”

The Moon Slayers have lost the prosperous civilization of the Moon Empire era. They live in the forest to hunt and gather for a living, and their living conditions are very difficult.

Even the ancient magician class lived a hard life, and in autumn and winter they were short of food and clothing.

Duerte said eloquently: It is already October,

As the weather turned colder, the forest's production began to decrease, and the hard days of Moon Slayer were coming. It is a good time for us to change our plan and use lures instead of arresting and obtaining the moon-killing serfs. As long as the ancient magician class is corrupted, many moon killers will be the fate of serfs.

Your proposal sounds good. If that's the case, call a meeting with the heads of the Knights and the managers of Xinhuo Town to discuss this lure plan.

The meeting is scheduled for the evening.

It is in the newly completed administrative hall of Xinhuo Town.

Before the meeting, he first invited Kenli Truth, the president of the Magic Branch of Xinhuo Town, to ask for information about the ancient magician and the holy mountain. Kenli originally presided over the research in Whirlpool Town of the Whirlpool Islands. After the discovery of the Moon Slayer natives, she was transferred to lead the research on the Moon Slayer.

Your Highness. Kenli bowed. She is a magician who is obsessed with magic. She has almost no interests other than magic, and her life revolves around magic.

You have studied many ancient magicians who killed the moon, how is the summary of the language of the moon?

The language of the moon is very complicated. Although the ancient magician who killed the moon man mastered the inheritance of the language of the moon, many words are gradually lost, especially the records of the ancient moon empire are almost blank. After our research, the daily communication The language of the moon is basically mastered.

What do you think of the magic inherited by the Moon Slayer?

Kenli thought for a while: There is a certain reference value. Some of the magics have been cut off from the inheritance. If they are improved, they can shine to a certain extent... However, most of the magics inherited by the Moon Slayer from the Moon Empire are too old. Backward, high mana consumption, weak power.

She then added a paragraph of emotion: I used to yearn so much for the grand occasion of the magicians in the Moon Empire era, thinking that the current magicians are far inferior to the magicians of that time. But only in terms of the spell-casting scheme, the magicians of the Moon Empire era, far from what it is now.”

The times are developing. Although magicians have declined, they have become more adaptable to the present era. Therefore, there is no need to look forward to the past, but to look forward to the future. Liszt smiled. People have this habit of favoring the past over the present. The more ancient things are, the more blurred the details, but the more lofty they feel.

Part of it is feelings, and part of it is the beauty produced by distance.

Moon Empire is a typical addition of distance beauty and feelings. Of course, it is undeniable that the era of magicians ruled and created a brilliant magic civilization. Energetic and curious magicians can study magic, souls, large projects, and even the nature of the world.

These are what magicians yearn for the most. In this world, knights rule everything, and profit is the most important thing.

It doesn't matter what the nature of the world is, can researching the nature of the world bring profits? If not, why bother to study it? If you have that time, it's better to drink more wine, dance more, and have a close contact by the way!

Liszt was also a knight.

Although he recognizes the research spirit of magicians more, but in terms of class, he still has to denigrate the beautiful existence of the Moon Empire and be wary of the restoration of magicians.

After chatting for a while, he turned to the topic: Kenli, did the ancient magician reveal the exact location of the holy mountain?

There are no ancient magicians who have been to the Holy Mountain. The Holy Mountain is just a legend to the Moon Slayers. Their scope of activities is not large, and their travels are often only among a few large tribes.

All right.

Liszt frowned.

He thought that the smog task of finding the holy mountain and investigating the ancient magician would be easy to complete, as long as he tortured the ancient magician a little, he would be able to find the holy mountain, but he didn't expect that no one knew about the holy mountain.

However, although the holy mountain was not found, the reward indigenous treasure of the last smog mission had a clue, and the corner tribe that guarded the treasure had been found out.

...

After the administrative office held a meeting and decided to use lure as the main means to exchange and take the moon-killing natives as serfs.

In the early morning of the next day, Liszt rushed to the location of the Horn Tribe without stopping. After some searching, he successfully found the Horn Tribe with a population of tens of thousands. The Horn Tribe is located not far from the Flaming Mountains where Liszt is about to build the capital, and belongs to a small mountain range of a branch.

On a short hill near the living area of ​​the Horn tribe, the broken tower where the treasure was stored was successfully found.

There was no one guarding it. Two-thirds of the stone tower had collapsed, but it was surrounded by a circle of stones, and there were traces of a bonfire burning on the platform next to it.

It will be held in this place when Moon Slayer holds a bonfire party.
