The sky gradually darkened.
Dark Blade did not look very good when he walked out of the hall. The drow warriors he brought had been settled in another residence. When he returned, there were already people waiting for him. These drows did not seem to be completely at ease with Søren. They were still fully armed after settling down, just waiting quietly for the return of their leader. Drows were very suspicious intelligent creatures. It was difficult for them to trust others in a short time.
"How is it?"
A young-looking drow warrior stood up and asked, "Lord Dark Blade! What did that Lord say? "
Dark Blade looked at the others and noticed that they also wanted to know what Lord Dark Blade asked for. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, "He wants us to serve him and fight for him. As long as we can do this, the tribe can get a steady stream of supplies. He even promised to let us move here to live."
These words made many people silent.
At first glance, it sounded like a good condition, but after careful consideration, it was suspicious of annexation. The drows did not want to be controlled by a human. Cooperation was the limit they could accept at present. Unless Søren was so powerful that they could not resist or refuse, and could easily erase their existence. Before coming here, the female priests had made a decision. In fact, the group of women was still a little disgusted and distrustful of human beings. Otherwise, the leader would not be a male drow.
It was important to know that males were naturally inferior to females among the drows!
"Lord Dark Blade!" A young drow warrior hesitated and said slowly, "Didn't we think this would happen before we came? After all, there is no free food in the world. He will definitely need us to pay something! If it's just fighting for him, it's not a big deal for us. After all, it's not the first time we've dealt with the natives. "
What was the most abundant in the Outer Islands?
The natives.
This group of drows had fought with the natives more than once or twice. Basically, in the Outer Islands, where the living environment was slightly better and the surrounding materials and food were richer, there would be large or small native tribes. They had mastered many ways to deal with the indigenous people in this cruel environment. After all, they were drows, which were equally dangerous and evil creatures. Even if they gave up their faith in the Queen of Spiders, there was still a trace of cunning and cruelty in the nature of the drows!
"I know."
Dark Blade looked at the others and slowly said, "But this Lord wants to directly attack and destroy the aboriginal tribe!"
His words caused a huge uproar.
The other drows could not help but widen their eyes and murmur, "Master Dark Blade, didn't you tell His Excellency what was in the indigenous tribe? Those spirits are rather difficult to deal with, and they don't have bodies of flesh and blood. When we first encountered them, we suffered heavy losses. With the pirates in the camp, it's basically impossible to defeat the spirits, unless there's a relatively powerful Spell Caster! "
The drows had also fought against the native spirits.
However, there was no doubt that they had failed. It was because they were not strong enough, and also because there were too many enemies. Without the power of the adepts and priests, it was very difficult for a group of powerful melee warriors to kill the half-energy soul lifeforms.
Right.
Spirits were immune to any attack from non-rare weapons!
If it was a spirit with the power of a demigod, it would be immune to any rare weapon attack below grade 3. Its immunity was not much different from that of a demigod lich, but it did not have the powerful physical damage reduction ability of a demigod lich. After all, a lich's body was just a skeleton. In the entire camp, if they encountered a demigod spirit, except for Søren's legendary curved sword, Icingdeath, no other weapon could hurt it. One could imagine how passive this group of drows with simple equipment was at that time. It was almost a one-sided situation when facing the spirits.
In many cases, there was no way around it.
It was like if you didn't have dragon slayer equipment, sometimes you couldn't break the defense of a giant dragon!
"I've said it."
Dark Blade looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "But His Excellency's attitude was quite firm, and I didn't dare to reject him obviously. After all, you know the situation of the tribe now. It's definitely not a wise choice to anger a pirate king! But fortunately, the indigenous tribes here are much weaker than the ones we encountered. The population is estimated to be only more than a thousand. According to the customs of the indigenous people who participate in hunting are considered warriors, there should only be about three hundred people who can fight! "
The indigenous warriors did not participate in farming or labor. In addition to regular hunting and fighting, they were all supported by the lower level indigenous people.
The leader of the drows looked at the others and said slowly, "His Excellency said that he was sure to deal with the spirits, so our task is to assist the pirates to deal with the indigenous people."
There was a short silence.
A drows warrior who looked not young stood up and said in a deep voice, "If His Excellency can deal with the spirits, we are not afraid of those indigenous people. According to the time, it's almost time for the antelopes and horned zebras to migrate. During this time, all the indigenous tribes are hunting. The source of meat for next spring depends on this hunt. So they should not launch an attack for the time being. Maybe we can choose a good time to attack them. If we are lucky, the casualties will be reduced a lot! "
The outer islands were a bit similar to Africa.
Many of the islands here were scattered, but there were also connected islands because it used to be a continental shelf. The creatures in the jungle also had the habit of migrating north and south. When migration occurred, the number of herds would be quite large. Sometimes they would encounter migrating elephant herds. This was the hunting season for the indigenous tribes. Most of their meat for the coming year came from here. The indigenous people would use sea salt to cure the meat, which could be maintained for a long time until the next autumn's fishing season.
The fishing season was the migration of fish. Sturgeon, swordfish, striped fish, and so on would go to warm areas to reproduce every autumn and return to areas near the north in the spring of the next year. During this period, the number of fish was quite spectacular. You could see a large number of fish on the migration route of the fish with the naked eye. Simply put, you could catch dozens of fat fish by throwing a big net down. And because the fishermen did not hunt much, these fish were very clumsy and could be speared with a harpoon.
In some ways, the resources of the outer islands were indeed very rich!
(Knowledge [Geography]: The outer islands as a whole are a narrow island connected area. The length reaches the scale of the continental shelf, but the width is less than one-tenth. The edge of the Gulf Islands will extend to the extreme north, and eventually close to the great glacier that stretches for thousands of miles.)
…
On the other side.
Søren walked back and forth in the hall, then looked up at his men in front of him and said, "Pay attention to the drows. If there are any changes, tell me immediately."
"Yes." A scarred man immediately responded and left.
Just as the drows could not fully trust Søren, Søren did not fully trust them because he had dealt with the drows more than once or twice. He knew a lot about these intelligent creatures that were cunning by nature. If you wanted to control the drows, you either had power or benefits. Otherwise, they would easily betray you.
Søren closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then said, "No female drows appeared, and no spellcasters were seen."
"Has this group of drows declined to such a state, or have they still not decided to fully cooperate with me? If it's because of me, their value will be greatly reduced. A group of drows that has lost their spellcaster inheritance has no future. If it's the latter, then they still feel repulsed by me. I'm afraid they can only cooperate because they have no other choice! "
"I must have great power to completely tame them, right?"
This group of drows was very valuable. If they were included in Søren's plan, it could achieve twice the result with half the effort. Besides, the drows were naturally suited to do some shady things. Søren had many means that the pirates might not be able to do, but these drows could definitely do it.
He must capture these drows in his hands!
