Chapter 36: The So-Called Clever Victory
The expedition team returned triumphantly.
In the square in the center of the murloc town, Yang Yi asked the old blind man to arrange for people to treat the injured murlocs, and distributed a sea fish and two small clam shells to each murloc participating in the battle as a reward.
"Lord, the breeding farm is too far away from the village, so sending people to guard it all the time is not an option." The old blind man said to Yang Yi after making arrangements.
"What can you do?" Yang Yi asked.
"Well, just kill all the fishmen nearby. That's enough." The old blind man answered seriously.
When Yang Yi heard this, even the thick eyelids of the fishman couldn't help but twitch. He looked at the Brak brothers beside him and found that the two nodded frequently, clearly agreeing with the old blind man's proposal.
"As a murloc, it's okay to be violent, but can you use some brains? God, please give me some more reliable murloc strategists."
Yang Yi did not reach an agreement with these murlocs this time. Now he feels heartbroken when he sees a murloc hunter injured in the village. Ratchet Village has only developed so far and has finally accumulated some strength. He can't just let it go. So consumed.
It is impossible for the village to send a large number of murlocs to guard every farm, and the nearby murlocs are eyeing the little clam shell.
"What should I do?"
Yang Yi could only think about it by himself. He targeted the nearby fish-man village. After solving these large-scale fish-man forces, the other scattered fish-men were not to be feared.
"How strong is the nearby fishman village?" Yang Yi asked. What I have to say is that not only the fishmen in Ratchet Village are unreliable, but he, the fishman village leader, is also incompetent, and he doesn't understand the situation near the village. .
"The largest fishman village on the coast is Canyon Village." The old blind man replied.
"I know this. Canyon Village is still one day away from us. How is the situation in the closer Fishman Village?"
"The closer ones are three fish-man villages with a population of nearly a hundred."
"The number of murlocs is not very large. I didn't expect that the development of Ratchet Village in a few months has been much ahead of other murloc villages." Yang Yi was proud and then asked: "There are particularly powerful fishes in these murloc villages." No one?"
"There is a murloc beachwalker and a murloc tidewalker with a wave crab." The old blind man replied.
"With two combat professionals, this is not easy to handle. If the other party gets aggressive, it is possible for each of them to kill several fish-man hunters."
“You can’t fight head-on, you have to outsmart yourself.”
Yang Yi set the tone for how to solve the problem of guarding the shellfish farms, but for the murlocs of Ratchet City, outsmarting them was not easy to achieve.
"Bring the captured prisoners here. The master will interrogate them personally." Yang Yi thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to outwit them, so he planned to find a breakthrough from the prisoners.
Soon, more than a dozen captives who were tied up with water plants were escorted to Yang Yi. These fishmen had never seen much of the world. Now being tied up by fishmen from other villages, they were all scared to death.
"Do you know who I am?" Yang Yi pretended to be fierce and asked the prisoners.
"have no idea."
The fishman captives shook their heads, and each one of them honestly expressed that they did not know him.
"Ahem." Yang Yi suddenly realized that such a "roundabout" question was not suitable for this group of fishmen, so he quickly jumped into the topic and asked: "Who ordered you to steal the clam shells?"
"..." The fishmen prisoners tilted their heads or stared. No one could return to this question. They were all attracted by the food to rob the small clam shells.
"Why did you come to rob our village of food?" Yang Yi asked again.
"Hungry."
"Nothing to eat."
“The clam meat is delicious.”
…
Several murloc prisoners finally answered Yang Yi's questions, but none of them were nutritious answers.
"If you don't have anything to eat, go to your village chief. You dare to come to our Ratchet City territory to grab food. You are quite brave."
"The village chief is full."
"The village chief is missing."
"I wonder who the village chief is..."
…
The dozen or so murloc captives began to quarrel with each other, and they all seemed to be dissatisfied with the leader of their murloc village.
Yang Yi found that these murlocs seemed to be very dissatisfied with their murloc village.
"In this case, why not join this village? We will have enough food." Yang Yi said.
"I do."
"I'm joining."
"Food, I'll join in."
…
As soon as the murloc prisoners heard Yang Yi saying that the food tube was enough, they all shouted that they wanted to join Ratchet Village. They had no nostalgia for their original murloc village.
"That's good, they all join our village." Yang Yi unexpectedly discovered that he could bring these prisoners into the village without any effort at all. He watched the attributes of the dozen or so murlocs in front of him change. The information of [Faction: Ratchet Village] is displayed, and they have become a part of Ratchet Village.
"Yes." Yang Yi suddenly thought of an idea.
The murlocs on the Merchant Coast are all miscellaneous murlocs. The murlocs here do not belong to the same clan. The murlocs in these small murloc villages gather together just to make ends meet. Such murlocs do not have much sense of belonging to the murloc village, nor are they very loyal to the village chief.
"It's better to use food to lure these fishmen and gradually weaken the strength of these fishmen villages."
Yang Yi clapped his hands heavily and said, "Haha, isn't this the so-called outsmarting? This lord is indeed wise and does not need any dog-headed military advisor."
After coming up with an idea, Yang Yi threw a group of murloc captives aside, and then went to find the old blind eye to ask him to arrange the murlocs to carry out the food luring plan.
In fact, the plan Yang Yi thought of was very simple, that is, when the murlocs from other villages approached the breeding farm, he would send the murlocs in the village to shout slogans such as "Join our village to have food" and "Enough food" to the other party. Such propaganda offensives are quite tempting for the murlocs who are worried about food every day. Propaganda offensives are sometimes more lethal than real swords and guns.
After telling the food luring plan to the old blind eye, Yang Yi remembered that there was still a chance to draw a lottery. After the village's level 1 murloc beach walker camp was built, he got a new chance to draw a lottery, so he went to a deserted place to start the lottery.
Yang Yi once again chose the small disc for the lottery. It is also important to lay a good foundation for village construction.
This time the black pointer stopped at area 2, and Yang Yi got a blueprint of a level 1 general building in the village.
[Building plan: Forge (Village Level 1)]
[General building]
[Building materials: Stone 100, Wood 100]
[Building requirements: 1 Level 1 builder]
[Building function: smelting metal, forging tools and equipment. ]
[System special effects (unique): Increase the speed of smelting and forging, and increase the success rate of smelting and forging. ]
[Usage requirements: anvil]
Forge is a necessary building for ordinary village construction. Unfortunately, blacksmith is one of the most lacking living professions in the murloc tribe.
Because the body of the murloc must be kept moist, but the blacksmith cannot do without fire, it is almost impossible for the murloc to learn to forge weapons and armor.
However, it is still okay to do things like hammering and simply repairing equipment, which do not require constant high temperature.
"The village has been cutting wood and quarrying, and the equipment is seriously worn out. At least it can be used to simply repair the tools and weapons in the village."
As soon as Yang Yi got the blueprint, he found the old blind man again and asked him to arrange for people to build a forge. When searching for Ratchet City, he found anvils and furnaces, and now they can be used. .
