Chapter 184: The Zach Tribe
It stands to reason that after taking Lionheart City, Ning Yuan should have a good time, after all, they have successfully obtained the right to use Lionheart City for the remaining months, but the fact is the opposite, Ning Yuan has been quite depressed for a while.
Originally, Ning Yuan was going to hunt freely in the open world before he met Robert, and his goal was to win the first place in the Lord Dragon Soul List and monopolize the reward of 9,999 Dragon Souls.
Although he has now taken Lionheart, his goal has not changed, but when he prepares to go out hunting, he sadly finds that he has not many soldiers at his disposal.
Originally, Ning Yuan had seventy or eighty thousand troops on hand that could be freely transferred, but with the stationing in Lionheart City, these seventy or eighty thousand troops that could be freely mobilized were completely trapped.
Because he was worried that several other people would make a move on his southwest city, Ning Yuan had to arrange heavy troops here for defense, so the army he could mobilize now was only a few thousand cavalry.
In desperation, Ning Yuan could only secretly take two thousand Terran light cavalry and two thousand elven archers to hunt in the vicinity of Lionheart City.
Although 4,000 cavalry seems to be a lot, there are not many others in the open world now, that is, there are a lot of adventurer players.
Once he encountered the kind of army of fifty or sixty thousand adventurers, Ning Yuan could only obediently take a detour.
Because he didn't want to lose too many troops on the adventurer players, Ning Yuan could only attack those small-scale adventurer teams of a few thousand people, and as for those player lord alliances, he didn't dare to touch them, there was no way, the number of troops was insufficient, and he had no confidence in fighting.
Adventurer players have less oil and water, and small-scale adventurer legions have even less oil and water, and after annihilating thousands of people, Ning Yuan can only obtain some dragon soul fragments.
Since they came out lightly this time and didn't bring logistics troops, the weapons carried by those adventurer players could only be left in place and given to others cheaply, and Ning Yuan and them could at most take some dry food.
Of course, light cavalry also has the advantage of light cavalry, that is, it is super mobile. With his ultra-high mobility ability, Ning Yuan could find the location of those small-scale adventurer legions every day, and then rush over with his men and horses like the wind to destroy the enemy.
As the saying goes, no matter how small a fly is, it is also meat, and after a few days, Ning Yuan also obtained 4.3721 dragon souls, although it is quite passable, but it is definitely very far worse than hunting those player lord alliances.
On this day, after annihilating an army of adventurers of more than 2,000 people without any damage, Ning Yuan led the cavalry to rest by a small river that had not yet dried up.
This ghost weather in Africa is really too hot, a little activity during the day is a stinky sweat, and at noon, if you can't find a shady place in time to escape the heat, then it is likely to suffer from heat stroke directly.
Although few troops were still moving around at noon, out of caution, Ning Yuan still arranged some secret posts, and then he and the others hid in the woods next to them to escape the heat.
The small river that Ningyuan chose to escape from the summer originated in the Kilimanjaro Mountains and belonged to the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains, so although it was in the dry season, it still did not stop flowing.
In Africa, especially during the dry season, this undried water source is very valuable, so even though the savannah has been spoiled by the players, there are still many surviving animals who sneak up on the river to rehydrate.
Because they were carrying dry food, and the sun was too hot at noon, people had no appetite, so Ning Yuan and the others just took a few bites of dry food, drank a few sips of water, and then lay down in the shade to rest without any image.
Just when Ning Yuan and the others were drowsy, the mournful horn suddenly sounded.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
After hearing the warning from the secret sentinel, the cavalrymen who were resting on the ground immediately got up, and then turned their horses and prepared for battle.
"Lord Qiqi, I found a group of more than a hundred werewolves running towards us."
"More than a hundred?"
"Yes, my lord, there are only a hundred people, and they came down from the opposite mountain."
"Let's go and see how it goes."
Hearing that there were only more than a hundred werewolves, Ning Yuan was very surprised.
You must know that there are more than 4,000 of them here, and they are all cavalry, let alone a hundred werewolves, even if it is a thousand werewolves, they can easily handle it, so Ning Yuan doesn't know why those werewolves ran over to send them to death.
After walking out of the woods, Ning Yuan saw more than a hundred werewolf guerrillas running towards them on the hillside across the river.
"Elven archers prepare, if those werewolves dare to cross the river, then kill them all for me."
Although there were only more than a hundred werewolves, Ning Yuan still didn't have any carelessness, anyway, the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, and he didn't eat it for nothing.
"Lord, don't shoot arrows, I'm Wolf Wu, I'm Wolf Wu, and I'm the brigade commander under you."
After seeing that the elven archers on the opposite side had begun to draw their bows and arrows, a dirty werewolf hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Wolf Wu..., don't shoot, let them come." After hearing the name Wolf Wu, Ning Yuan was very excited, he immediately stopped the actions of the elven archers, and then shouted loudly: "Wolf Wu, is it really you?" Are you all alive? ”
"Lord, it's me, it's really me."
After seeing Ning Yuan, Wolf Wu's hanging heart finally let go, he ran to Ning Yuan in one breath, knelt on his knees, and said to Ning Yuan excitedly: "Lord Qi, Wolf Wu led the 165 soldiers of the First Brigade of the Werewolf Guerrillas to report to you, please allow us to return to the team."
"Okay, wolf Wu, it's good that you are alive, come, get up and talk, come on, prepare some water and food for those werewolf brothers, and take them down to have a good rest."
Seeing Wolf Wu, who had lost a lot of weight, Ning Yuan was also very excited, he stepped forward to help Wolf Wu up, and then asked people to place those surviving werewolf guerrilla warriors.
"Wolf Wu, I'm really happy to see that you're still alive, hey, after the last defeat, I thought you were all unfortunately killed, hahaha, it seems that your kid is blessed with a great life and great creation, come, tell me how you have been these days."
Seeing that his old subordinates were still alive, Ning Yuan was very happy, and he excitedly took Wolf Wu's hand and asked him to tell him about his experience these days.
"Lord, it's like this, I ...... last time."
Being able to see his lord, Wolf Wu was also very excited, so he immediately told Ning Yuan about his experience in these days.
It turned out that after the defeat of Ning Yuan's side in the last general battle, Wolf Wu and others took advantage of the chaos caused by the Thirteen Taibao of Huaguo Mountain to successfully escape.
After escaping from the battlefield, Wolf Wu took more than 300 surviving werewolf guerrillas to search for Ning Yuan's traces.
Because they had been in the outer area of the battlefield when the battle began, they did not see Ning Yuan being killed by the heavy cavalry.
In his eyes, Ning Yuan was the god of war, and it was impossible to die in battle, so Wolf Wu led three hundred werewolf guerrillas to start looking for Ning Yuan everywhere on the prairie.
That period of time happened to be the time when Ning Yuan was conquering other planes, so even if they turned the entire prairie upside down, it would be impossible to find Ning Yuan.
Moreover, the period after Ning Yuan's defeat happened to be the time when adventurer players entered the open world on a large scale, so Wolf Wu and the three hundred werewolves under him could be said to be struggling, and they had to look for Ning Yuan every day while avoiding the pursuit of other adventurer players.
But there were so many adventurer players that they could hide for a while, and although they managed to escape with their speed and stamina, they still lost more than a hundred werewolf guerrillas.
It is difficult for a team of more than 200 werewolves to survive in this savannah of the open world, and in order to survive, Wolf Wu had to take the remaining werewolf warriors to join a lion tribe called Zack.
The Zach tribe is a powerful tribe of aborigines, with tens of thousands of adult lions in the tribe, and control a huge meadow.
If the adventurer players did not come to the open world, then the Zack tribe would still be the overlord of the grassland, but with a large number of adventurer players entering the open world, the good days of the Zack tribe have come to an end.
In the face of the never-ending onslaught of adventurers and players, the powerful Zack tribe finally had to choose to retreat and withdraw from the pasture where they had lived for generations.
But even so, the players did not let them go, for the sake of the dragon soul, for the sake of those young lion slaves, they kept chasing and killing the surviving lions of the Zack tribe.
In the face of the endless pursuit of adventurers and players, although the lions of the Zack tribe were very angry, in order to be able to continue the race, they finally had to enter the Kilimanjaro Mountains and hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
Wolf Wu and the surviving werewolves also hid in the mountains with the Zack tribe.
Although the safety factor in the mountains has improved a lot, food is very scarce, so all adults have to go out every day to find food.
Wolf Wu and the others also came out to look for food today, originally they didn't dare to go down the mountain, but because they were too hungry, they finally came to the bottom of the mountain at the risk of being discovered by the adventurer player, preparing to go to the river to hunt a few animals that came to drink water.
Just as they were cautiously descending the mountain, the sharp-eyed wolf Wu noticed at a glance that there were a large number of soldiers in the woods on the other side of the river, and just as he was about to quietly leave with his men, he suddenly found a familiar white.
That white is not something else, but the back half of the body of the grassland white horse, of course, it must not be the ass of the grassland white horse that makes Wolf Wu feel familiar, after all, Wolf Wu does not have that unique habit.
What really made Wolf Wu feel familiar was the imprint on the white horse of the grassland, which was an eagle with wings spread and flying high, which was the unique symbol of the Condor Leader, and every white horse in service in the Condor Collar would be branded with this mark, so Wolf Wu recognized it at a glance.
When he saw this condor brand, Wolf Wu was very excited. However, he did not rush to show up, but continued to observe, because although the war horse was led by the Condor, it could be captured by the enemy.
However, when he found a large number of other white horses branded with the mark of the Condor, he could no longer calm down, and he excitedly told his men as he galloped towards the Condor-led legion on the other side of the river.
After listening to Wolf Wu's explanation, Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Okay, all the suffering is over, and you will be able to go home soon, when the time comes, I will give you a three-month vacation, so that you can take a good repair." ”
Ning Yuan felt very relieved and sorry for this werewolf guerrilla who had been separated for so long and had taken refuge with others, but was still loyal to him.
If he hadn't been carried away by the victory, they wouldn't have suffered such a big loss, so Ning Yuan especially wanted to compensate them well, otherwise he would feel very uneasy in his heart.
For Ning Yuan's mood at this time, Wolf Wu also understands it very well, but as an excellent general, Wolf Wu knows that the lord can be emotional, but he can't, because he still wants to climb higher and farther, so that the lord can see his talent.
So he quickly calmed down, and then said to Ning Yuan: "Lord Qi, Wolf Wu still has something important to report to you."
"Oh? Events? Let's talk about it first. ”
"That's right, my lord, although the Zack tribe is hiding in the mountains now, their strength is still there, and the lions are very powerful warriors, so I think the lord should take advantage of their food crisis this time and subdue them."
"Oh? How many more lion warriors are there in this Zach tribe? Listening to Wolf Wu's words, Ning Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Back to my lord, there are still more than 4,000 lion warriors in the Zach tribe, including 1,300 male lion warriors.
In addition to these 4,000 lion warriors, there are also more than 6,000 teenage young lion men, because they fled all the way before, so there are basically no old and weak people in the tribe now. Wolf Wu replied.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with so many lion warriors, I only brought four thousand light cavalry with me this time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to subdue these lionmen.
And they are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is not easy for our army to attack them, by the way, do you think that if we directly persuade them to surrender, those lion people will accept it? ”
Hearing that the Zac tribe still retained a certain strength, Ning Yuan was very moved, because if the other party was too weak, it was not worth him to subdue.
But now although it is worth subduing, because the other party is hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, how to subdue it has become a problem.
"My lord, there are currently three forces in the Zach tribe, and the Grand Commander Kemba Zack Lion is an ambitious man, and he is now bent on regaining the lost ancestral land and strengthening the Zach tribe, so it is difficult for him to be persuaded to surrender.
The second commander, Kuka Zak Lion, has always coveted the position of the leader of the Zak tribe, and he has always been at odds with Kemba, but his strength is not good, so he has been forbearing.
The three commanders, Barton Zack Lion, belong to the new generation of forces, although his personal strength is very strong, but his foundation in the Zack tribe is really a little shallow, so he has been suppressed by the other two.
My lord, I have taken refuge in Barton Zach Lion, the Commander of the Three, for he was the only one who was in dire need of help to take us in. ”
Wolf Wu explained some of the situation in the Zac tribe to Ning Yuan in detail.
"What are the personalities of Kuka and Barton?" Ning Yuan thought for a moment and asked again.
"Kuka is a good scheming person, Kemba originally wanted to take advantage of this disaster to get rid of him, but unfortunately he was discovered in advance by Kuka, and in the end, Kemba not only failed to get rid of Kuka, but was also reversed by Kuka, and lost a lot of lion warriors loyal to him.
Barton is a person with strength, courage and ambition, the only thing he lacks now is an opportunity, as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to make a difference. ”
"Hmm..., Wolf Wu, if you had to choose, then who would you choose to work with?"
"Lord, please forgive my subordinates for being stupid, I don't know who to choose."
"It's okay, you just say it boldly, and I won't blame you if it's wrong."
"Back to the lord, if you have to choose your subordinates, your subordinates will choose Kuka, because Barton, like Kemba, is a person who is unwilling to submit to others, and now he is still very young, and he can wait for Kemba to get old before seizing power, so it is difficult for him to surrender to you."
Wolf Wu thought about it for a moment and told Ning Yuan his opinion.
"The analysis is very good, and I also tend to choose to cooperate with Kuka, so that I will have some animals hunted for you to bring back, and then you can find an opportunity to contact this Kuka and tell him what I mean.
If he agrees, you bring him here to meet me, and if he doesn't, you leave the Zack tribe with your werewolf warriors and return to Lionheart with me. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
