Chapter 91: Who is the enemy?
Yan Mo looked out the window, the animal skin curtains were moved on both sides, and the breeze came in to the tower. This is probably the most pleasant time of the year in this land. Unfortunately, the time is so short that people have no chance to sit and enjoy it.
There were big birds hovering in the blue sky.
“They said that the spring is very short, the snow is changed by the rain, and the temperature will rise rapidly. I think the salt pool can be dug up. We don't have much salt. The Mer-people have clearly proposed to use red salt as the payment for us hiring them, and the dwarfs will probably have the same requirements. At least they will bring some when they leave.” Yan Mo transferred the topic.
Yuan Zhan also knows that this person is annoyed but seeing that he does not want to say or force him, he followed him: "We have not yet started construction for the sewers" He has just finished strengthening the riverbanks on both sides of the inner moat.
“According to the priority, the red salt is the most important. Even if we don't exchange it, the salt on my hand is not enough to support the whole tribe for one month." Yan Mo took another slate and saw that some items have been listed on the slate.
Yan Mo painted a circle behind the moat of the moat to complete the painting. He painted a hook in the three places for salt drying pool, digging the sewer and building the house. "You can't do everything by yourself. You can get the most important salt drying pool, bring the most reliable people, leave Meng, and then help me to check on Jiu Feng, see if there are any signs he is going to come out."
“I am not, I am afraid that the dwarfs will be confused, and those little monsters the dwarfs fought are a future threat. "
“I have an agreement with the Mer-people and they said yes, they will first send the warriors to come guard. if no problem, tomorrow they will come to dwarf. The Mer-people and the language barrier, they are not afraid of short sides to jointly together, as long as they contain each other, our tribe is safe.”
“I may have to leave for a long time.” Going back and forth, plus getting a salt pond, and then getting a batch of salt, the minimum time is two months.
“I know. You get the salt drying pool, bring a batch back, next time I can install a little more." Yan Mo turned to look at him , “Be careful on the road. If the tribe is really attacked and occupied, I will not stick to it. I will leave with Meng immediately."
“The weather is getting warmer, The Cannibal Bees should be coming out of the nest. They can come from the old nest with Jiu Feng all the way, and it is not difficult for them to find you across the grassland."
Yan Mo raised his finger and watched Yuan Zhan smile. If this is the case, then he really does not have to worry about the safety of the tribe and his own after Yuan Zhan left.
While at the lake.
Duo Fei, who was coming out with everyone to pick up the dead branches and look for wild vegetables, suddenly looked up at the sky.
“Duo Fei, what are you looking at?" Sha Lang who passed by her and looked up at the sky.
“Big bird, maybe an eagle or a Da Peng." Duo Fei, who is still an old woman, flatted her hair and bowed her head.
Sha Lang looked up again. "Da Peng Da Ren?"
Sha Lang had no way of judging that the big bird had already flown far.
After Sha Lang left, Duo Fei clung to the transparent Crystal Stone hanging on her chest, she was breathing more and more anxiously.
The next day, Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo saw one hundred The Mer-people warriors come in, and later these will serve as mercenaries of the Jiu Yuan tribe to protect the inner city.
The main responsibility of The Mer-people is to defend and attack enemies. Accommodation is not necessary as long as the monthly clocks on time they will be paid according to one person..... 600 money red salt check.
The dwarfs also basically agreed to pay for the rewards in the form of helpers, and Yan Mo also promised them help during the period.
After the group of people visited the Mer-people warrior, they eagerly wanted to build a house and were stopped by Yan Mo.
Yan Mo asked Wu Chen and others to send a few slate, pointing to the stone road: "To build a house, you must first get the waterway, or make a stone brick. All the things must be in accordance with the requirements of the map and if we can not meet the requirements or there will be chaos..”
Lang Lang and The Elder Zha Zha and others refused to refute Yan Mo, and they were attracted by the simple urban planning on the slate.
“This is the road? The road is also paved with stone bricks?”
“Before you shop, don’t forget to make the foundation first. Houses sewers, etc. need to be grounded first.”
“The house can only be covered in residential areas?”
“Not necessarily, But the house that is used to live and the house where you work will definitely be in different places, so you must follow the instructions."
“Sewer... I know, this is for drainage, and we have the same thing in our place of residence, but unlike this, we only dug two grooves on both sides... no wonder we are flooded every year, the original drain can still be like this now we get it!"
“The shape of the house should follow this picture? Wow, well... beautiful! I like it too much! I want to make my own house like this! What is the open space around the house? Why is it surrounded with this?" There are four shapes, points bungalows and two-storey house which has a variety of functional areas, the later explained in detail with them. In addition, all the houses have front and rear garden, in order to facilitate future breeding livestock and poultry. "
“Farming? poultry." The savvy dwarfs caught the point.
Yan Mo just smiled and didn't mean to explain it.
“If you don't make stone bricks, and you won't build a house. I will let people teach you. Don't worry, this teaching you will not pay for it." Yan Mo thought but he was still not skeptical, otherwise if he taught them how to dig the sewer and the foundation of a house he will make this group of dwarfs give him a lifetime of labor, not to mention teaching them how to build a house.
“In addition, as a tribe Priest, I am very busy. I can't always follow you to help you communicate. You can only communicate with people of my tribe. If you have any important things, please find my disciple, Wu Chen."
Wu Chen looked with a small face, the dwarf shook his hand.
Yuan Zhan was standing on the wall looked up at the sky.
Meng lowered his head.
“Jiu Feng went into sleep, and the other big birds ran out to play in the sky.” He remembered that when he first came here to Jiu Feng’s site there was no other large birds.
Meng looked up. "I am going to tell you about this. I have seen at least four or five big birds hovering in the sky these days."
“Let everyone be careful with the children and remind the dwarfs."
“Yes."
Yuan Zhan was holding down the stone walls of the stack , “I told you those things have to remember?" "Do not worry, the protection of Mo Mo first."
“Whoever does not toe the line, kill them swiftly you don't need to discuss it Mo."
“Not even The Council group?”
Yuan Zhan looked at Meng with a blank expression.
Meng grinned and his right fist slammed to the left chest.
Yuan Zhan has arranged it over there, and Yan Mo has also explained everything.
On the one hand, the dwarfs want to pay off their debts early. On the other hand, they are interested in this building knowledge. They want to live in their own stone houses. They can’t wait to practice after two days of class teaching. They don’t need Yan Mo to urge them. They are busy themselves.
Two days later, the day was just bright, and Yuan Zhan left the tribe with six warriors including Hu Hu. They only said that they would visit The Mountain God.
Yan Mo stood by the river and prayed for Yuan Zhan and others.
Yuan Zhan took a trip with six people and looked back at Yan Mo. He doesn't know why, he always has a strong sense of uneasiness about leaving the city, which makes him unable to resist instructing Meng over and over again.
Yan Mo waved and watched the seven people go away and turned back to the inner city.
“Hey-!" The sky came from the birds.
Duo Fei passed under the East City Building twice. The second time she was ready to step on the stone steps, but when she finally she touched her face, she took back the foot on the stone steps and turned away.
Sha Lang stood in the shadow of the wall not far away, frowning slightly. She has always been very vigilant about this foreign woman. Although the other party did not dare to steal the vitality of everyone after being taught by Priest Da Ren, she still did not believe her.
The dwarfs have their own internal work, and Yan Mo has no intention of intervening in that.
The dwarfs separated two batches of people, and a group went out to go hunting and collect dry wood and food. A group left to dig the waterways, make bricks, and lay foundations.
Their children were idle, and under the direction of the Dwarfs Chief they all ran to listen to Yan Mo class. But this time Yan Mo did not allow them to enter, and clearly indicated to Lang Lang and Ka Di that only the people of the Jiu Yuan tribe can learn the inheritance of the ancestors without paying any compensation.
The dwarfs were itchy and distressed. It takes a lot of money to pay for the knowledge and to learn the knowledge.
“One class cost one cow, and the price is too expensive! Swindlers, really swindling!" Lang Lang also heard a few lessons, and now some words he learnt are used well.
“If our tribes can make it in the future, then it will be fine." The Elder Zha Zha stared at the slate on the ground, and these slabs could not be taken away, they were only in the square.
“What do we want in such a big place? To set up a tribe? Well, those militant guys will never agree to come together to live together." Lang Lang waved and smirked.
“Why not? Humans can, why can't we." Ge Ge muttered.
“Or we just join the Jiu Yuan tribe? Such a big tribe there is so few people, anyway, we have to find a new place to live, it is better for us to come in... ah ah! What are you doing?" The proposing De De was pulled by Tribe Chief of the dwarfs inside squashed together.
“Hey-!" The weird huge sound suddenly sounded from outside the city.
After a surprise... Duo Fei who was in the square, she immediately looked up at the sky.
The dwarfs and The Awu Tribe turned around and looked around and asked: "What happened? What is that sound?"
Everyone in Ye Xing class suddenly jumped up, shouting: "Hey!!!! Is it a warning call from Priest Da Ren who taught it to the warriors for warning horn if there are enemy coming to attack us,"
The classroom was in chaos many children are shouting: "Little monsters! Certainly those little monsters are coming!"
But the children's expressions are not flustered, and there is even a little eagerness to try, especially for children who are ten years old, they have already advanced combat training and even the women began to receive initial training with the warriors.
Ye Xing rushed out of the classroom and he was going to inform Priest Da Ren about it.
Yan Mo didn't need anyone to inform him because the horn sounded loud, and the whole city heard it.
Yan Mo walked out of the East City Building and walked along the city wall with the guards to the south gate. The horn sound came from the south.
The Mer-people warriors saw the large group that flew in the sky. They didn’t recognize what it was. When they saw more of them, they saw the flying objects and immediately shouted. : "Get into the water! That's The Cannibal Bees!"
The Cannibal Bees name can be said to be famous in this land. Most people who have never seen them but have heard their legends. The older the tribes talk about their oral traditions.
The Mer-people warriors subconsciously sneaked into the water, and finally they had a strong sense of fighting chance, and they still remembered what they were doing. Some people now blew the horns they carried with them, and informed the Jiu Yuan tribe residents that danger is coming!
The warriors on the wall also saw The Cannibal Bees, but the Awu Tribe has a short history and doesn't know much about The Cannibal Bees. The Old Tribe Priest, who knows the most, is no longer there, and was fortunate to have seen it near Priest Da Ren. The Cannibal Bees haven't come over yet, and the response is that they were more than one step slower than The Mer-people, until they hear the Mer-people warriors blew the horn that represents extreme danger alert.
Someone went to find Meng quickly. Meng was also running towards the South Gate.
Yuan Zhan is not there, and Meng is no longer leaving the city to hunt.
Before the priest and Meng spoke, there was a flustered scene in the city, and the children ran out of the classroom.
“Don't be afraid, don't panic, come with me, don't run around!" Wu Chen, who understands the horn's voice, shouted at the people and asked them to hurry to escape to the designated emergency location before he went to Priest Da Ren.
However, not many people listened to the call of Wu Chen, people ran around in a mess, and some people ran to the wall to see what happened. Not to mention the dwarfs, they all left their jobs and ran to the walls. The patrolling warriors did not have so many people to stop so many people.
The warriors have to stop the tribes and dwarfs who ran up, and they have to ask the Mer-people warriors what the flying things are, but also to pay attention to the defense, busy added to the chaos.
Yan Mo looked back at the chaos, and his face was annoyed before he saw the enemy.
While every one's attention was drawn to the outside of the South Gate, in the chaos, two men in animal skins walked directly into the inner city from the north gate hole.
They look surprised to walk into the inner city, one of them whispered to fellow road: "Da Ren, is it supposed to bee so simple to come in like this is this a trick to ambush us.?"
A trick? No, he doesn't think so. This is obviously a castle that is just under construction. The castle is new and the combat experience of those warriors is also very new. The four city walls were not equipped with the main entrance. When something happened, even the guards who had guarded the doorway all ran to the south city.
The city, as he saw in heaven, has only one shell that looks scary. However, he still wants to explore it carefully. This strange castle is far away from The Heaven City, but if you look at their wall construction and city size, if you don't handle it, you may become the enemy of Heaven City in the future.
“Da Ren, do you think that The Princess is going to be here?”
Fei Li shook his head. “Not sure, we haven’t seen The Princess in the past few days so I don't know?”
“But this here is what we are looking for the most.” There is a barbarian tribe with The Princess. Da Ren, look at the barbarians, they are still wearing animal hides, and they only have wooden spears and stone hammers, but they built such a castle...you.... Do you think such a barbarian tribe can make such a castle?"
“And The Mer-people and the dwarfs." Fei Li is actually wondering if the tribes they found all the way are advanced, but they just stacked some stone piles or wooden walls, such as the high wall-walled buildings that were formed like this, were first seen her before the first time and the walls were so high that those moats were obviously repaired by hand. If there is no one who has seen them before, He does not think that the barbarians who are still wearing animal skins can make such a city.
However, Fei Li still has a problem that can't be figured out. According to the time when The Princess disappeared, can the person he saw in heaven really build such a huge city in a winter time? And in winter, the land is frozen like a stone.
“Ha! The Mer-people and the dwarf, these two races can't be seen in the same city except the slave market. It’s amazing. Maybe only the beautiful and intelligent Princess of the Heaven City can attract them here? Let them build for themselves?”
Fei Li shrugged. “Maybe. Ze Xi be careful, there are not many people in the city, and I don’t see any human visitors. We even wear clothes like theirs and even with that we may be recognized.”
Ze Xi nodded, and the two acted more and more carefully.
