Chapter 125 Weapons
Throwing an olive branch to these elves in a timely manner, Tang Zhao thinks this is a good choice. He is active in the south, and his place is indeed a very good choice. It is stable and safe, has a rich supply of supplies, and there are a lot of elves living. Anyway, Tang Zhao thinks, The other party couldn't find a more suitable place for a while.

This ranger group is from the south of Ya Delong, and they are not from the same area as the elf refugees Tang Zhao received, and they don't know that such a thing exists, so when he heard Tang Zhao's explanation, Franken showed There was quite a clear mistrust.

Tang Zhao talked all kinds of things, spent a lot of effort, and finally got the other party to reluctantly agree-if the situation is really as he described, then the Brown Oak Ranger Group is willing to move their station to the north of Insula, one of Tang Zhao's settlements. Inside.

Tang Zhao believes that the other party has no reason to refuse, and he considers himself a pretty good ally.

There is no insidious conspiracy against the elves, it is simply a common interest with the other party. Under the threat of a powerful enemy, he wants to win with the other party, which hardly does any harm to the interests of the elves, but can greatly relieve their pressure.

【I was seriously injured, and you have to contribute to the hunt for that Bagura demon. Try to resolve it before the reinforcements arrive. There is no room for too much delay in the matter of the demon. 】

Franken nodded: "No problem, we are very good at hunting down the enemy, and if nothing else happens, that Bagula won't be far away."

He believes that there are still many rangers who still have a considerable degree of combat power, and they are completely capable of fighting that Bagula demon.

[In this case, we can make another deal. The three trolls under my command will be under your command, and the price will be the body of the Bagura demon. How about this? 】

If the trolls were to follow those elves directly to hunt down demons, they would definitely complain. In other words, if they could see the immediate benefits, they would work harder.

When Franken heard this, he readily agreed to Tang Zhao's suggestion. There were no alchemy materials on the Bagura Demon. Although the flesh, blood and flesh were useful, their value was just that, and they were not irreplaceable.

He called three trolls and hurriedly led a group of people away. Tang Zhao was responsible for taking the wounded and accompanied the guards back to the present stronghold of the elf rangers.

According to Franken himself, they will be very cautious, and they will reap the best results. If any danger is found later, they will retreat immediately, and they will return to the stronghold before dawn tomorrow.

Tang Zhao doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter for the time being, he can rest at ease now.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Zhao shrunk his size down to half a meter in the blink of an eye. After obtaining the consent of an elf, Tang Zhao climbed onto his shoulder, hitch a ride, and closed the door. Open your eyes and start to bask in the sun.

The elf's expression was very subtle, and he seemed a bit reluctant, but maybe he was intimidated by Tang Zhao's previous actions, or maybe Tang Zhao became much harmless to humans and animals after shrinking. In short, he didn't show any resistance mood.

At the same time, he was thinking about something in his mind.

[This demonic invasion is obviously not something that I or these elves can handle. There will definitely be other forces intervening in the future. It may be elves, or humans from Oran, or some knights of good gods. It’s okay, no matter which side’s strength is not equal to mine, but this is also an opportunity, and it’s a testament to our contact with human society. 】

A group of unknown, suspicious-looking creatures that came out of the mountains; a group of creatures that came out of the mountains, although they looked a little weird, but helped humans fight against demons.

Comparing the two with each other, let alone human beings, any intelligent creature will instinctively be closer to the latter, of course, on the premise of not showing too much threat.

The camp of the elves is not too far away. Tang Zhao simply checked the situation there, and the situation is really not optimistic.

The supply has long been broken, and their weapons, equipment and food are all made by hand—the sharpened stones are used as arrows, the shafts are constructed with plant magic, and the furs of wild beasts are simply sewn and magically processed to make arrows. Simple leather armor and winter clothing, the food is hunted on the spot, and a small part is dried and pickled, and used as food reserves.
During their daily patrols and hunting, they are completely reluctant to use metal weapons, because if they use a little, they will use less, and they can't afford to consume them at all.

If the situation continues like this, sooner or later they will be unable to hold on and completely collapse.

But fortunately, Tang Zhao's observation of their mental state is not bad. Hope and fighting spirit can be seen from everyone's face, instead of numbness and bitterness. These elves are much more optimistic than he imagined.

This is rare, because war is the most dehumanizing thing. These elves have experienced a long and cruel war, and they can still maintain a relatively optimistic attitude. This is something that many intelligent creatures cannot do, at least dwarves and humans.

There were not many things in the camp that required Tang Zhao's help, so he simply lay down among the treetops and basked in the sun.
-
Franken's men returned to camp at dusk that day, for they encountered other enemies on the way.

No more demons were encountered, but dark creatures such as chimeras and giants also blocked their way. Franken, who pursued safety, did not venture deep, but retreated decisively. loss.

[Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it is necessary to send more people to patrol the border. There are more dark creatures in the south than common sense. Maybe they will go north at any time. The settlements of goblins and elves will bear the brunt. They are fine. Resistance ability, if attacked by surprise, the result will be very bad. 】

The situation in the ranger stronghold is not optimistic, and there is an urgent need for supplies, so Franken readily accepted Tang Zhao's proposal. He will take a few elves to the settlement to observe the situation first. If it is true as Tang Zhao himself said, then the entire Ranger The group moved there.

Things couldn't be delayed, and Tang Zhao's own condition was not good. They set off that night, and he carried a few elves through the forest through the forest. They felt Tang Zhao's settlement as quickly as possible.

It is worth mentioning that Franken himself followed Tang Zhao, and they did not know the details of Tang Zhao, which was undoubtedly a very risky act.

The following things went smoothly, because Tang Zhao himself did not lie. He really had sufficient supplies and a large number of elves lived there. There was no need for any explanation in front of the naked facts.

Franken immediately agreed to relocate, and then Tang Zhao was busy looking for weapons and equipment for him.

The equipment of the dwarves and kobolds on their side is very rich. After all, there are a lot of fighters, while the elves have only dozens of people from the Baiyang Ranger Group, and the specifications of the equipment are not the same as others, so their equipment is their own. It was solved, I brought some before I came here, the wear intensity here is very small, theoretically the reserves are enough to survive the whole winter.

The standard weapons they cast here are specially made for dwarves and kobolds, and the elves are not easy to use. In order to ensure the combat capabilities of the elves as much as possible, Tang Zhao had to think of a way to get them from somewhere. A batch of weapons used by elves, and the quality must be acceptable.

After negotiating with Bai Yang, they did not refuse the request of the same clan. Elena personally took out all the spare weapons from the arsenal and handed them directly to Franken. The other party was moved and almost burst into tears on the spot.

These weapons can be used for a while, but considering that there may be dark creatures going north recently and conflicts with them, and the Poplar Ranger Group is likely to fight side by side with Franken in the future, it still seems a bit stretched.

"That's it, it's no problem if you want elf weapons. Our craftsmen can make them. Dwarves know what elf weapons are better than most long-eared ones, but most of the time they don't bother to do them. Since Carlos, you If requested, we don't mind showing off the art of forging."

When fighting without a weapon, half of the battle is lost. Tang Zhao, who used to be a modern man, understands the importance of logistics and equipment better than those rangers who perform daily survival in the wilderness, so he went to the dwarf Bourne in time.

Sometimes the dwarves are inexplicably very cautious, even the most far-sighted wise man among them. After informing Bourne of the situation, the relationship with the elves is barely considered a partnership, and it is related to the devil. In fact, he has no After hesitating, he agreed directly.

But then, under the premise that there were only him and Tang Zhao on the field, he still said those self-deceiving words. Tang Zhao had every reason to suspect that he was really persuading himself.

Obviously, there is still a long way to go before the gap between the elves and dwarves can be eliminated. Maybe Tang Zhao will see no hope in his life, but right now the dwarves are willing to make weapons for the elves, which is enough.

The dwarves have already built a good forge, and found a lot of roughly processed iron ingots from the abandoned dwarf fortress. They can't make magical weapons, but it's no problem to make usable weapons. There is no doubt about the dwarf's forging technology, nor the dwarf's understanding of elf equipment.

After all, the metallurgical technology of the elves is not inferior to that of the dwarves, and even surpassed them in some aspects. At the same time, the two sides have also experienced a long and bloody war. .

It is not unreasonable that the enemy knows each other best.

[Besides, demons have appeared in the south of Insula. Haiji, one of the candidates for the High King, is very close to the Dragon Blood Pass he governs. Will he do anything about it? 】

"Don't worry, when we found the devil's scroll, we would use carrier pigeons to notify the other party. The Haiji lord had previously agreed to send two bearded warriors and a team of butchers. We will meet in the south of Insula."
