I became the ancestor of the blood clan

It has been more than half a month since he heard the news of the mithril veins until he released all his strength, but it is a pity that although his current method of searching for the mithril veins is better than finding a needle in a haystack, it is not that good.

The scope of the boundary is too wide, and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time.

Sure enough, Harrison shook his head.

"Patriarch, although Otis and the others have taken away most of the blood clans, it is still too difficult to find the dwarves who might be hiding somewhere in the inconspicuous mountains in such a wide area.

We need time. "

Li De nodded, his eyes flashed with thought, "Did the dwarf still not speak?"

Harrison shook his head with a strange expression. During this time, the dwarves had been "reformed through labor" in the blacksmith shop, but none of the three dwarves let go.

The stubbornness of the dwarves gave Harrison a headache, and he had nothing to do with these guys with special body structures and a mind full of stones.

Fight, because of the body structure, dwarves have a very high resistance to pain. If an ordinary human's reaction to pain is 100, then a dwarf can at most be 10, so torture will have no effect on these stubborn guys.

With magic, dwarves, as the sons of the earth, are very slow to respond to magic.

Dwarves are one of the few races in Glory World that don't have any talent for casting. Even lowly races like kobolds and ratmen have spellcasters, but the entire race of dwarves alone can't find a spellcaster.

Magic seems to be non-existent to dwarves. The most direct manifestation of being unresponsive to magic is the inability to cast spells. However, they are also extremely resistant to mind and soul spells. Ordinary soul spells cannot take effect on them. .

Therefore, it is ineffective to fight, and it is also ineffective to use magic. Coupled with the stubborn character of the dwarves, which is more troublesome than stones, Harrison can't find a way to deal with these dwarves at all.

"Don't place your hope in dwarves.

We need to take the initiative in our hands.”

Li De shook his head and said calmly. He has never been a character who waits passively. Even if the dwarf doesn't speak up, he must move forward.

The value of the Mithril vein is enough for him to make some investment.

Finding mineral veins is like a venture capital investment. Although you need to pay a certain amount of cost and take risks in the early stage, once you succeed, the high return is enough to make anyone jealous.

"Besides, if the dwarves really agree to cooperate with us, it may not be a good thing." Li De's eyes were deep, and his tone meant something.

"Mithril veins are very precious, but there are more valuable things in the dwarf tribe than just mithril veins.

Harrison, do you understand what I mean? "

Harrison was slightly taken aback by these words, and then a bit of bewilderment appeared on his face.

"You mean, dwarf??"

Li De smiled slightly and changed the subject without saying anything.

"You tell Odis to be careful about the border, although there are still a few months before the winter moon, the barren wasteland is not a quiet and peaceful place.

Orcs are always a huge threat. "

Harrison nodded knowingly, "Otis has been at the border for so long, I believe he can return safely.

It's just, about the mithril vein..."

Li De waved his hand, "This matter is not as urgent as you imagined." After he finished speaking, he paused, with a playful look on his face.

"Do you think the dwarves are acting like the tribe has been devastated?"

Ok?

Hearing this, Harrison was slightly taken aback, then thought of the actions of the dwarves reported by his subordinates in the past few days, and shook his head decisively.

"No, although the dwarf is angry, he doesn't seem to be very anxious about it..."

"That's right." Li De picked up the lacquered gold glass teacup on the round wooden table in front of him, and took a sip of black tea to moisten his throat.

There was a bit of sharpness in those dark eyes.

"No one can remain calm in the face of the crisis of genocide, especially the dwarves, a group that is extremely fancy to the tribe.

Although the dwarves are looking for allies now, judging from their performance, it can be roughly inferred that although the dwarf tribe is in a predicament, the crisis they encounter is not so urgent.

In other words, the dwarf tribe is not in danger of being destroyed in a short period of time.

They haven't reached a desperate situation yet, and they still have a choice.

Therefore, even if these dwarves are under house arrest by me in the City of Daybreak, they can still maintain enough calmness, and they will not reveal the news of the Mithril vein to the death.

Because they know that the dwarf tribe will not be in too much danger in a short period of time, which is why they can repeatedly reject our good intentions. "

Judging from the actions of the dwarves, Li De quickly saw the real situation of the dwarf tribe.

He put the dwarves in the blacksmith's shop in Daybreak City, in addition to wanting to vent his anger, he also wanted to test these dwarves.

If the tribe is facing a huge crisis and may be destroyed at any time, these three dwarves who cannot be contacted with each other will definitely find ways to contact each other and use every effort to escape from the city of Daybreak.

If this happens, the initiative will be firmly in his hands, because the opponent is in a hurry, and they must immediately ask for reinforcements.

But judging from the recent actions of the dwarves, although they are under house arrest, their desire to escape by force is not so strong.

This can infer a lot of information.

The three dwarves who were working in the blacksmith's shop probably couldn't imagine that they were doing nothing, and Li De had already guessed their situation.

"And the orcs attacked the dwarf tribe. In addition to plundering, I think there is a high probability that the dwarves themselves are also targeted.

What are dwarves best known for? "

"The ability to build weapons?" Harrison was a little taken aback.

"That's right, the orcs are not only lacking in food, but also in precious resources such as weapons. Green City has always banned the sale of weapons to orcs.

If I were an orc, if I captured these dwarves who can make excellent weapons, I would definitely not kill them, but enslave them to help me make weapons..."

In Li De's view, the context of the whole matter has been inferred to the present level.

The orcs discovered the existence of the dwarf tribe, maybe for wealth, maybe for food, maybe for weapons, they launched an attack on the dwarves.

The dwarves could not resist the huge number of orcs, and soon the whole tribe was broken, except for a small number of dwarves who escaped, and the rest were all captured.

Instead of killing the captured dwarves, the orcs enslaved them, making them forge weapons for themselves, provide them with food, and more.

The dwarves who escaped carried important information - an unexcavated mithril vein and wanted to find a force that could repel the orcs.

But this mithril vein is too precious, and the dwarves are reluctant to use it for trading.

At this moment, Laurent, a businessman who had cooperated with dwarves, came into their sight, because the backer behind this businessman was the Scarlet Mage Tower, which had recently become famous for its magic scrolls.

And it just so happened that behind the Scarlet Mage Tower was Spark, the Archmage.

So many things happened by mistake.

"The dwarves won't be in too much danger in a short time, and we have enough time to look for traces of the dwarves, Harrison, don't worry too much..." Reed looked encouragingly.

Harrison was greatly relieved when he heard this, and Li De's urgency at the beginning put him under a lot of pressure.

In Daybreak City, Li De's will is the direction of the whole city. Not to mention looking for traces of dwarves at the border, even if he wants to launch a war against the orcs, Daybreak City must immediately prepare for this.

But the barren wasteland is too big, and the distant mountains inside the barren wasteland are too vast. Even if the number of blood races is not small, it is difficult to see any results in a short period of time.

"Patriarch, I believe Otis can bring us good news."

"Um"

At present, several major projects in Daybreak City have been completed, and there are no other projects that need to be concentrated on, so now he can devote a large part of his energy to finding the dwarf tribe.

Li De nodded, looked down at the tea leaves slowly sinking in the teacup, and his thoughts slowly shifted to the construction of the City of Daybreak.

The achievements of Daybreak City in the past half year are not cheap.

In terms of agriculture, all the wheat has been harvested and put into storage, and the winter wheat will not be sown until the end of September, and there is still a buffer period of more than one month.

The farm has already entered the right track, and has already started to breed at full capacity, because the manpower problem cannot be expanded in a short time.

The cultivation of magic language bats will not be able to see results until September. At present, they only need to provide enough food to wait for the harvest.

In terms of urban construction, the Dawn Mage Tower has been completed, and the training of mages has begun. This is the production area for future Dawn City mages.

Although the expansion and house repairs in the southern area have not been completed yet, the Ministry of Construction is in the process of unified management and planning. The residents in the slack season are attracted by Yinpuke to join the construction project. It is foreseeable that there will be more houses in two months was built.

In general, the first phase of the construction of Dawn City took nearly a year to complete.

The reclamation of farmland, the establishment of the mage tower, the construction of the breeding farm, the expansion of the southern district, the construction of the blacksmith shop, and the bustling streets in the central area of ​​the city are all the fruits of the hard work of Daybreak City during this period of time.

Li De already has a first draft of the second phase of the construction of Dawn City, but he has no plans to start a new round of construction for the time being.

He needs to give Daybreak City a little buffer time. After the high-intensity construction, it needs to relax. At the same time, he also needs to use this time to prepare for the upcoming looting of the population.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that most of the work he arranged for Daybreak City this year was to prepare for the plundering of the population by the winter moon.

There are large areas of empty houses in the southern area that are uninhabited, and large areas of the Moonlight Plain are uncultivated. The development of the followers of the Dawn Sect has also entered a bottleneck period.

It can be said that if there is not enough population, Dawn City can only maintain its current scale. If it wants to continue to expand, it needs more humans to join.

After thinking for a while, Li De shook his head with a smile, taking back his scattered thoughts.

Seeing that Harrison, who had been silent all this time, was about to speak, a Cyclops figure suddenly appeared by the window in his peripheral vision.

The original question was changed immediately, "Harrison, how is our current iron ore reserve?"

After the ore was excavated in the Valley of the Giants, the demand for steel in the City of Dawn was greatly alleviated. Even with the high efficiency of the Cyclops, the ore was still slightly rich.

"Patriarch, the smithy currently reserves [-] tons of steel, which can be used whenever needed."

A city's steel reserves are only [-] tons?

Li De shook his head amusedly. If it were on the earth, it would only make people laugh if it was said.

But according to the current production capacity, it is not bad to be able to accumulate dozens of tons of steel after supplying the amount used by a city.

"Thirty tons, at least it is a little less, but it can be used.

Can these dozens of tons of steel reserves build tap water? "

Li De still misses tap water in his heart. Although, as the owner of this city, there are people to take care of everything, but the lack of infrastructure such as tap water always makes his life a bit inconvenient.

You can't turn on the tap to take a shower on a hot day.

But if you want to lay water pipes in the whole city, you need a lot of steel, and you may not see a shadow if you throw dozens of tons into it.

There is no plastic in this world. If you want to be strong and durable, you can only use steel pipes.

"Patriarch, currently tap water is not so urgent for Dawn City, and when the winter moon comes, Dawn City will have more people joining, and I think the effect will be better when it is under construction.

And these dozens of tons of steel may be used in more useful places..."

Li De nodded slightly when he heard the words. The construction seems to be in a hurry now. Tap water is not an arsenal, and it will have little effect on the overall situation one day at a time.

Shaking his head, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​building tap water, and at the same time was a little curious about what Harrison didn't finish.

"A more useful place??"

"Of course," Harrison said with excitement in his eyes, "we have an ace army that needs better heavy armor.

I heard that the smithy has developed a new alchemy formula in the past few days, and the strength of smelted steel has tripled compared to before! !

If we use these dozens of tons of steel to make armor, maybe we can get an extremely powerful ground troop. "

"Ace Army??" Li De frowned, and there was only one army in Daybreak City that could wear heavy armor.

"Cyclops??"

"Yes, that's right," Harrison nodded affirmatively.

As the overlord of the ground troops, the Cyclops has never doubted their combat effectiveness. These giants with 6 or 7 blades are more domineering than heavy tanks.

With its exaggerated body, Cyclops has an overwhelming advantage in the face of ordinary human soldiers.

Strong physical fitness, huge body, and incomparably powerful strength.

Even the cavalry's charge of these big men can't shake them.

"Patriarch, when the soldiers of the North Land were ambushed, the armor on the Cyclops' body was temporarily cast, and the quality was not high.

Even so, they also crushed those high-level professionals.

If we protect them with the strongest armor, maybe they will explode with fighting power that outsiders can't imagine. "

Hearing this statement, Li De touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

The most powerful talent of the Cyclops is their huge body and the power to topple mountains, but their huge body makes their flexibility very poor and easy to be targeted.

If they are really armed with stronger armor, then they can maximize their advantages, and these 6- and 7-blade giants will become invincible on the battlefield.

When Grote jumped down from the air, he directly chopped Corso, the 15th-level cyclops lord, into serious injuries, and his armor was cut in two.

Of course it was due to Grote's strength and the sharpness of the huge sword in his hand, but it might not be due to the low quality of the armor on Corso's body.
