Ranger Legend of Azeroth Chapter 149

Today, the master came down to chat with them again, and the three troll captains always followed him cautiously, for fear that he would come up with some weird orders again. Because no matter how strange the order is, you must follow it, otherwise people from the gendarmerie will come to arrest him and lock him in a very dark and quiet stone cave for a few days. Many troll soldiers have already been imprisoned, and after two or three days, they dare not refuse to do so.

Even if the master wasn't watching them, the gendarmerie men were watching them very closely. The most hateful ones are those police spies who always make small reports. These two groups of people are also hated by the soldiers. Although the three captains hated these people very much at first, after a few months, they didn't hate them so much.

Because they found that the soldiers were much easier to manage! Those weird commands were annoying when I did them every day at the beginning, but I got used to them after doing too many. It's as normal as eating every day. There is nothing difficult. Sometimes if you don't do it, you feel that something is wrong and you always feel uncomfortable.

For example, some soldiers misplaced some things, such as weapons and so on. The gendarmerie didn't find it, but they found it. Before the gendarmerie came over, they themselves called the soldiers to scold and order rectification. No reason, just because they don't feel comfortable looking at it that way.

"What wild fruit did you eat before the tooth was broken? How could it be stored until spring?" Habayashi Xueying suddenly asked.

"It's Tongsu!" Broken Tooth said, "He has a hard shell, so it won't break!"

"Is Tong Su delicious?" Habayashi Xueying was a little strange when he heard this term for the first time.

"It's okay, but it's very annoying to break the shell of every grain, and I won't be full for a long time!" Broken Tooth said.

"Can you find it now?" Habayashi Xueying was interested.

"There are a few trees outside Nengcheng. They were all picked in autumn before, but no one picked them this year. Now many of them fall to the ground. Sometimes we want to eat, so we go out and pick some back." Broken Tooth said.

As for why no one picked it this year, he didn't say, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

"Let's go and have a look." Habayashi Xueying smiled.

The three troll captains called about 20 trolls to follow them out of the city.

Tongsu is a deciduous tree. The trunk is straight and without branches below three meters, and some branches begin to branch above three meters. The shape of the tree is very similar to the kapok tree in the south, with a straight trunk and many small branches. The appearance of the leaves is no different from that of the tung oil tree. The fruits are in clusters, a cluster of more than a dozen fruits, each of which is the size of a goose egg.

When the Habayashi Blood Eagle came, the fruit on the tree was basically gone. There were only a few scattered dried fruits hanging on the withered branches, fluttering in the wind and crumbling. A lot of dried fruit fell on the ground, and the dried fruit was split into four petals, exposing the brown seeds like chestnuts inside. It's just smaller than the chestnut, and the fruit is very similar to the fruit of the tung tree.

Habayashi Xueying picked up the fruit on the ground, took out a thumb-sized seed inside and asked Broken Tooth, "Eat this?"

"Yes, master, you can eat it after you break off the hard shell." Broken Tooth said. He leaned over to pick up a seed as well, and forcefully broke off the brown lignified hard skin, revealing the egg-yellow nuts inside.

Habayashi Xueying followed his example, broke open a nut, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while. In addition to a little sweetness, there is also a little taste of raw tung oil, which is not very delicious. He wondered what would happen if it was cooked? He asked the trolls to help him collect two baskets and bring them back to taste.

Habayashi Blood Eagle originally wanted to find a tree similar to the bread tree in Hinterland. It is used in coastal plains to solve perennial food problems. There is a piece of land as big as the seaside plain, but they always go to buy food to eat. , that's really crazy.

But for such a long time, he has not found suitable woody food crops in the Hinterlands. Today, the output of this thing called Tongsu is not small, but the taste is really not very good. If you eat too much of that tung oil taste, it will make people feel greasy.

In addition, he doesn't know how to open the hard lignified shell on the outside of the seeds if it is used as a staple food. He remembered that his friends on Earth used to fry the seeds, and then squeeze the hard lignified shell together. The remaining oil cakes can generally only be used as fertilizer.

Therefore, he felt that this Tongsu could not be regarded as a staple food. The reason why he picked some up was to see if he could squeeze out some oil besides serving as a snack. If it doesn't work, he plans to plant persimmon trees in all the hilly and mountainous areas of the seaside plain, which are not suitable for arable land.

Persimmons can actually be used as food. When the autumn frost came, the persimmons on the tree were covered with frost. Take it down and dry it in the sun or in the shade, and it can be stored for a long time. It can be used as part of the food, but it must not be used as the main food because it is too sweet.

When dried persimmons are made, their skins are covered with a thin layer of white icing. Those are the juices inside that permeate the outer skin and then dry and condense. You can imagine how such a sweet thing will make people feel sweet and greasy as a staple food.

The bread tree is fine, but unfortunately there are too few seeds. I found a bread tree. When it harvests its seeds every year, when will the land by the sea be finished?

After packing up the two baskets, take people back to the first floor of Quel'Dannis. Habayashi Xueying suddenly had a new idea, he hurried back to the fourth floor, took out the map of Xuntland and thought carefully. He finally understood what was going on, and it kept him feeling bored. logistics! What has not been resolved is a logistical issue. At that time, Cirvanas also said that he was worried about his future logistical problems. It's a pity that after a long time, he forgot.

When Xinsaro was first occupied, due to the presence of mages and enough magic cores, they could send supplies through the teleportation array without any scruples. Therefore, there is no tension in this regard, and no one is aware of any inconvenience. Later, the army and the mage left, but Quel'Danis had enough weapons and food reserves, and he basically didn't need to use the magic teleportation array to transmit bulky items, so he couldn't attract his attention.

Although there are only more than 100 elves left, except for him, it is very convenient for the air force to contact the port, and they have not used the magic teleportation array a few times. Today, on a sudden whim, I went outside to pick up two baskets of Tongsu. Seeing the human soldiers carrying the load in front of him, he suddenly remembered.

Although there are enough food and armaments in the city at present, more than 1,000 people are eating, and there will always be times when they will run out. Although the shortest straight-line distance between Quel'Danis and the port is only 80-100 kilometers, it would be far away if you go by land.

Counting from the sea closest to the lower crossing, the distance from the sea to the small crossing is about 30 kilometers. The small road itself is at least five kilometers long. The distance from the upper small crossing to Quel'Danis is between 130 and 150 kilometers, and the total mileage is about 180 kilometers. , fully doubled.

Moreover, the path through the mountains is difficult to walk, much more difficult than ordinary roads. Large-scale transportation is probably impossible, and there are still many scattered troll villages on the road section of about 150 kilometers from the intersection above to the city of Quel'Dannis, which are easy to be attacked.

Back when Cirvanas was besieging the city, no matter what, he sent heavy troops to guard the small mountain crossing in the lower plain. There should be two reasons. One is to prevent trolls from attacking the supply points in the plain below. The second is that in case the siege fails, the only retreat route can be kept.

Because there were nearly 3,000 Rangers at that time, almost 3,000 battle pets, and a total of 6,000 combat units. It is obviously impossible to evacuate all combatants by the magic teleportation array alone, so they can only retreat by the small road. Besides, at that time, there was no shadow of the teleportation array!

One moment and another, it seems that the path is of little value now. Not to mention the difficulties in transporting supplies, it was also far away from Quel'Dannis City. The only function is to let the large troops below come up, or their people retreat. But if it is really too late to defend, it is estimated that 7788 trolls and human soldiers will die. Using the magic teleportation array, there is no problem at all.

The elves can just fly back directly from the air force, and he doesn't have any big troops to speak of. The importance of Quel'Dannis, apart from the almost intact gold vein and an alloy vein of iron and mithril, the most important thing is that Quel'Dannis is located in the northeast corner of the territory of Hinterland, and it is located in a In the ring valley.

As long as the mouth of a small valley with a width of several hundred meters is controlled, the huge valley with a diameter of 70 to 80 kilometers behind the mouth of the valley will become a safe area. Its location is really important. Even if there are not enough troops now, you can rely on the characteristics of Quel'Danis built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and basically can firmly control this circular valley from a condescending height.

As long as Quel'Danis is firmly under control, if a legion is assembled, attack from above. Basically, all the evil branch trolls in this ring valley area can be driven away and completely occupy this valley area. Then build a military fortress at the mouth of the valley, then this area of ​​nearly a thousand square kilometers is a safe point.

Thousands of square kilometers is equivalent to the area of ​​several counties in China. Just build a huge military fortress to block the mouth of the valley. At that time, except for the flying troops to attack, it was as solid as gold, and it could be built as it wanted inside, so why didn't it make people excited? Even if the population is transferred in the future, a lower productivity should be enough, and three people per square kilometer should be enough! You can't everyone eat meat and not vegetarian! Open up some orchards and grow something, right?

It's a pity that every possibility is possible, but he is currently short-handed. There are more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000 trolls living scattered outside Quel'Dannis, in this ring-shaped valley area of ​​several thousand square kilometers. Calculated by the farthest diameter, the farthest they are from Quel'Dannis is only about sixty to seventy kilometers. Now he can hold Quel'Dannis very well.
