The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 250 "Fire Stone" flame burst.

I don't know when, a rumor similar to mythical poetry suddenly appeared in this part of the land west of the Loon area.

The content of the news couldn't be discerned whether it was true or false, but it was faintly combined with the previous rather bloody rumors.

That is, the Red Water River and the Running River are blessed by a certain powerful god. Any Dongyi warrior who crosses the river and makes his hands bloody will bring bad luck back to his tribe. And knights with flames all over their bodies will fall from the sky, bringing a devastating blow to the tribe.

When the time comes, the steel will take the life of any living thing, including livestock; and the fire will devour all remaining traces.

When rumors spread, of course some people would not believe it. A certain Dongyi captain wearing armor and drinking in a tavern said sarcastically: "This is the trick of those pigs on the west side of the Hongshui River. Why is the river water protected by the gods?" His blessing is nothing more than an excuse thought up by some defeated guys."

But as soon as the words fell, a wooden wine glass with a metal handle flew over, and hit the back of the ridiculer with a "bang", followed by a rebuttal shout: "Don't you deny that Sauron The existence of the Great Emperor? Or do you think you have power comparable to that of a god?"

The ones who flew out of the wine glass were of course the tribal leaders who fled in desperation on the battlefield. After they lost their followers, they could only make a living under the hands of a more powerful ruler. Seeing someone ridiculing themselves, naturally Also burning with anger.

Although they also know that the true version of this rumor is that the Rovanians crossed the Red Water River from the west, launched a revenge against them with lightning speed, and defeated them with less victory and more crushing attitude. Own.

However, who would not want to put some gold on his face?

It would be a blatant humiliation for an army of tens of thousands to be defeated by hundreds of cavalry, but it would be another matter if these cavalry had the blessing of the gods, and it would be nice to say it.

With the protection of the armor, the captain who was hit was not harmed, and the topic involved the Dark Lord. He couldn't think of any better rebuttal language, so he could only vent his dissatisfaction with his fists.

He punched the slightly drunk protester viciously, but did not knock him to the ground. After shaking his head, the opponent rushed forward with a loud roar, and the two sides immediately scuffled together. , Kick the crotch, lock the neck, use whatever moves are effective.

After a while, all the drinkers at the scene spontaneously moved the tables and chairs, leaving a large enough space for the ridiculers and rebutters, and then started booing waves, as if this kind of thing is commonplace.

The owner of the tavern and the waiter serving the wine were holding cloth strips of two colors and asking the spectators present if they wanted to participate in gambling. The odds looked quite attractive.

This kind of thing is indeed a very common thing in Drognesia, the most central city in the Loon region, especially in a tavern that sells drinks with a lot of people.

Good wine can drive away sorrow, but it can also make people lose themselves.

And Allen, who caused all this, embarked on the road back home half a month ago. He made up the story, but it was polished and spread by Barr. This is part of the transaction between the two.

After some beatings, although Allen didn't know how good the effect was, he was quite satisfied with Barr's temporary attitude, and the transaction between the two parties was also very smooth.

This time Allen's sudden war, in addition to rescuing Tiehar's tribe, also helped some other dwarves regain their freedom, most of them came from the extremely distant red mountain Olokani, There are also a few dwarves from the Iron Hills, which can be regarded as helping Dyne find the missing clansman.

For this matter, Barr paid a huge price. When he traded with other tribes, he had already paid for the supplies in advance. The transactions between the Dongyi people did not all rely on precious metals, most of the time they were bartered. things, or the state of bartering people.

Only in those very prosperous cities with abundant materials can gold and silver currency be fully circulated, and the tribes scattered all over the place do not have such trading conditions. Most of the time they live a self-sufficient life, and it is enough to reserve some gold and silver , That thing can't be eaten as a meal.

In this regard, it is somewhat similar to the Rohan people living in Karen Nasson.

However, the transaction lasted until the end, and Barr was not considered a loss. According to the logic of the Dongyi people, he might still have made a profit.

After Allen defeated the coalition forces of the Dongyi leaders head-on on the battlefield, he immediately sent people to take over several tribes that had lost the protection of the soldiers. It can be said that the population, livestock, and slaves behind the wall were all owned by Allen. Let him have what he wants.

It's just that Allen has no way to take everything away. The livestock are better. Let the freed slaves drive them to the Red Water River and send them back to Rovanian through the bridge built by the transport ship.

There are grasslands everywhere on the wasteland, and those sheep and horses gnawed on the turf all the way, and there was no problem at all.

Similar to wealth such as gold, silver and jewelry, Allen also allocated a part of it on the spot according to his military achievements, and gave it to the cavalry who followed him in battle as a reward, while the rest was loaded into a cart and dragged by the extra horses. Let's go, to enrich Ai Lu's treasure house.

War is also one of the fastest ways to get money.

But the biggest problem is those captives. The combined population of several tribes is at least nearly [-]. This is not counting the captives captured by Allen's cavalry on the battlefield. In any case, Rovanian They couldn't accommodate so many Dongyi people.

When Ashur was defeated, Alan took in a group of Dongyi people, and classified them according to their appearance. Over the years, some Dongyi people did start to work for Alan because they were nostalgic for a stable life.

It's just that this ratio is not too high. Rovanian is still mostly blond-haired and white-skinned northern humans, and the hatred between the two sides has a long history. Before there is any major event, it is difficult for the two sides to live together in a short period of time. The Kujit people in Muma Village quickly accepted the existence of the Dongyi people because of their similar appearance and living habits.

According to the situation at the time, Allen re-established a village in the northern part of Muma Village for those Dongyi people to live in. The current population is almost close to 1000, and it is still gradually increasing.

Allen felt that if he brought all these Dongyi people back at this time, the population distribution of Rovanian would be evenly matched in an instant, and then the two sides with hatred would probably break out into unmanageable conflicts. ethnic conflicts.

Even if all the Dongyi people were prisoners of war, it would be a very dangerous decision.

This kind of thing is difficult to deal with even in the era when he lived in his previous life, let alone the middle-earth where the civilization is even more backward. At least today, at the end of the third era, Alan has no way to solve it unless he is in Rowa. Nian practiced slavery and decorated terror with chains and shackles to enslave these Dongyi people.

But in this way, wouldn't Alan become Sauron's successor?At that time, the scene will be absolutely spectacular, and it will be exciting to think about it, and Alan is not willing to try it.

Therefore, looking at these populations that can help him develop rapidly, Allen can only give up some of them cruelly, and bring back all the younger children, their mothers, and adults who are not ugly. , There are more than 5000 people.

As for what was left, it was stuffed into Barr's brains, which more than tripled the number of this guy's subordinates in an instant. Although he was still not as good as Ashur, who returned from Mordor, his strength was considered to be among the middle and upper reaches. levels.

And in addition to the population, Allen also left a lot of food for Barr, just in the warehouses of those tribes.

It's not that Alan doesn't want it, who would think too much food?

It is really because the distance is too far to move away. If a special force is sent here to carry the grain, then the people along the way will eat horse chews, and not even a quarter of them can be transported back to Rovanian. is too low.

Moreover, he has to bear the risk of being attacked by other Dongyi people all the time. The gain is not worth the loss. It is better to stay as one of the conditions of the transaction.

Hearing that he was able to receive Barr with a large population, he was naturally overjoyed. Any thoughtful tribal leader knows that population is the most critical resource, especially what Allen gave him and there are many who take up arms. Young adults of warriors.

This made Barr, who had been quietly struggling for more than ten years, feel very unreal. In the past, he had increased his population by dozens or even hundreds, but now it was more than 1, which made Barr somewhat overwhelmed.

However, being greedy, he immediately agreed to Allen's proposal, and patted his chest and said that he would continue to provide more people to Allen in the future, and he guaranteed that they would be blond-haired northern humans, or those who were accidentally caught Dwarves, even Dongyi people, would be good-looking.

Looking at Barr with an excited face, Allen didn't care whether this guy would do anything against him after his strength increased. Those tribes combined were easily defeated by him, let alone those who just ate leftovers Barr?

Allen just told the Dongyi warlord when he left that without his own consent, no Dongyi person is allowed to approach the Hongshui River and the Benliu River, otherwise, don't blame yourself for coming again.

Alan did not forget about Ashur's messenger. If Barr was not allowed to approach the river, he would naturally be unable to provide the information on the letter. As long as Alan observed Ashur's movements every once in a while, It is easy to find an opportunity to intercept and kill the Dongyi leader who once ravaged Rovanian.

Allen will definitely avenge this revenge, but it just needs the help of time, especially now that he is suffering a lot.

In this war that took place at the turn of spring and summer, Allen did not lose too many subordinates. The knights, attendants, and auxiliary soldiers who followed him suffered very few casualties, but Allen's dinars were almost exhausted. .

Because all the dangerous battles that required charging were completed by the Knights of the Lion Hunt. After the last battle, the establishment of the Knights was directly reduced by one-third. To replenish the establishment of the Knights, 10,000+ dinars are needed. Even if Allen has two towns in Calradia, it will take more than two years to earn it back.

For Allen, this kind of small-scale battle is serious money, and when the knights were attacking the formation of the coalition forces, Allen also used his latest ability on the Swadian knights, greatly The ability to break the formation of these heavy cavalry has been increased, so they can defeat the enemy so easily.

And this ability is the burst of flames of the "Fire Stone" that Allen finally found in the Magic Continent in the recent sporadic simulations.

["Fire Stone" Flame Burst: With this item, you can ignore the regular temperature changes, and you can use the energy in your body to summon a blazing fire from the gem. Under the light of the fire, the combat power of all friendly troops can be increased. Great improvement, please note that this ability consumes a lot of Qi, after the state subsides, the soldier will fall into a weak state for a short period of time, which can be recovered by eating. 】

[Consuming the "fire stone" burst of flames, you can get two abilities, the list of abilities is as follows. 】

[Ability 1: Manipulate the flame, consume the qi in the body to summon a flame controlled by the mind, the more qi consumed in a short period of time, the higher the temperature of the flame, and the larger the burning range. 】

[Ability 2: Raging flames, by consuming dinars, the subordinates can improve their physical fitness in a short period of time. Every soldier needs to consume a certain amount of dinars, and the amount of increased combat power is directly related to the consumed dinars. In short, the more you spend, the greater your improvement. In addition, extremely powerful beings are not affected by this ability. 】

The first time he acquired the ability, Allen did some experiments with himself and his subordinates. Except for himself and the Twilight Knight, the other cavalry could receive the increase in ability, and the increase was very exaggerated. Under the circumstances, the physical fitness can be improved to nearly double the level.

It's just that after the ability is turned on, Allen's dinar is like running water, disappearing bit by bit, and the benefits are not without it. It may be because of the money spent. After the ability fades, the soldiers will not Into a weak state, still able to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness.

The process of obtaining gems is also very strange. After Allen obtained the water stone in the magic continent, the prompt of the horn of the stars became "The power of God is sealed somewhere, and before that you may need to obtain the highest glory of the warrior." .”

If it is in the game, then Alan needs to go to the capitals of the major kings to find out if there are any competitions in the near future, and the gem is the prize for the champion, but the simulation is not a game. It may be very similar, but many places are completely different. .

For example, Allen got the second gem, but he didn't get the protagonist's original key item, the gold badge, and he didn't meet some extremely important characters, such as the dark-skinned Rolf, and another named For Jamila's girl.

Obviously, the direction of the plot is by no means linear like the game, and the role played by Allen is not the protagonist of Destiny in this period.

But no matter what, Allen needs to understand the true meaning of the prompt, so the wise man who is most likely to understand this should be the ruler of Zenda, Earl Araxis.

But Allen, who hurried back to Zenda, ran into a young man who looked very familiar on the road, and the golden badge on his chest shone eye-catchingly in the sun.
