The Northtown Castle was like a war machine that began to operate in an orderly manner. Suhlen also began to recruit new soldiers during this time. At the same time, the new soldiers who had been training in the barracks for more than a month were also given weapons.
The drow Ayton came back. This grand knight level rogue looked a little embarrassed. Some parts of his body were still wrapped in bandages, and there were blood stains on them. It seemed that this mission was not easy, but he also brought back the latest news about the troll tribe.
"You said that this tribe believes in nature spirits?" Suhlen's expression became serious.
In fact, Su Lun was not worried about dealing with the troll tribe. With his Legendary-level strength, 71 strong Barbarians, and two teams of war spirits, it was enough to destroy the troll tribe. However, the natural spirits were a problem.
Nature spirits were actually divine creatures. In fact, they were a kind of spirit. Most of them had legendary combat strength, and some even had the strength of demigods. If they merged with the divine title and divinity, then the nature spirit would be qualified to become a god. As long as they succeeded in raising the throne to the sky, they would become a new god.
There was more than one such spirit. Some were even ancestral spirits. If the tribe kept the habit of worshipping their ancestors, then these ancestral spirits would become ancestral spirits.
After the powerful warriors in the tribe died, their souls would be directly transformed into spirits. This kind of existence was a bit like a heroic spirit. This kind of belief could be found in the northern wilderness and the southern islands.
Spirits had a weak divine power, so it was not easy to deal with them. Anything related to gods was not easy to deal with. It was very difficult to kill a spirit that had been worshipped for a long time.
"Yes, my lord. I saw their totems in their territory, and I felt a power that was very similar to divine spells from their worshippers," Ayton said respectfully.
"Can you tell what kind of spirit it is?" Suhlen asked.
Ayton was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, my lord. I can't get too close to those spirits, so I don't know the details of these spirits."
"Other than that, what else did you get this time?"
"There are more than 600 trolls in this troll tribe, and about 1,000 gnolls and other cannon fodder." In fact, it wasn't that they didn't want more cannon fodder. The key was that they really couldn't afford to raise them. Because of the Trolls' physique, they needed to eat a lot. Otherwise, they would starve to death.
The reason for their migration was a lack of food. In previous years, all kinds of antelopes, giant antelopes, bison, and other creatures would migrate through the territory of the trolls. But this year, the number of migrating animals decreased a lot, which caused the troll tribe to have a shortage of food.
Suhlen was a little embarrassed when he heard the real reason for the lack of food. After all, he was the one who ordered the capture of the deer and antelopes. It was just that they were too ruthless, and in the end, the troll tribe had no food to eat.
In the end, the Trolls, who lacked food, turned their attention to Suhlen's Northguard Castle.
After learning all kinds of information about the trolls, Suhlen casually cast a healing spell on Ayton. A green light shrouded Ayton, and Ayton's injuries quickly began to heal. In just a few seconds, Ayton's injuries were completely healed.
"Thank you, my lord." Feeling the pain in his body disappear, Ayton's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"Ayton, how have you been in the Northguard Castle?" Suhlen said with a smile.
He hesitated for a moment, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes. Then, he said with determination, "It's good here, but I …"
"Ayton, I think you and your tribe should understand the danger you are facing." Suhlen interrupted Ayton's words. "Without the protection of the gods, facing the pursuit of other drows, and the priest losing the ability to cast spells, and at the same time facing other monsters in the wilderness, your tribe will eventually decline."
"I know you drows don't trust humans. In fact, you are wary of all the races on the ground, but you must learn to change."
"During this time, you should know more about me and my territory. I hope your tribe can join my territory."
"As long as you can serve me and fight for me, I will promise you an endless supply of supplies, and even a normal life in my territory," Suhlen said to the drows in front of him.
Ayton was a little silent. In fact, for him, he was inclined to join the Northguard Castle and pledge his loyalty to Suhlen. After all, he had seen the Northguard Castle develop from a town of less than a thousand people to what it was today. Later, he even killed a Cryopterus.
It could be said that as long as he did not die prematurely, Suhlen would soon become a famous figure on the continent. Joining his camp when he was not so strong was a very good choice for their tribe. However, the problem was that he was only a martial arts master. It was not up to him to decide the future of the tribe.
Moreover, the drows belonged to a matriarchal society. Although the female drows had lost many of their spellcasting abilities, the traditions of their race were still maintained. They did not want to be controlled by a human.
When Ayton came to the Northguard Castle as a military instructor, the drows had already had an internal discussion. In their imagination, maintaining independence and cooperating with the Northguard Castle was the limit they could accept.
However, Suhlen would not accept this plan.
Those drows had all kinds of power struggles and schemes all year round. They would not trust the promise of a human like Suhlen. In fact, the group of female drows did not trust him at all. Otherwise, they would not have let a male contact the Northguard Castle.
Even at this time, the rule of female superiority among the drows had not changed.
In fact, it was not only the drows, but also the ancient elves and half-elves. Although they were not completely dominated by females like the drows, females also occupied a dominant position. The male elves were not as lowly as the drows, like slaves.
"Your Excellency, you should know that as a male, I have no right to speak in the tribe," Ayton said with a wry smile.
"I can swear loyalty to you, but I can only convey your intentions to the tribe. Please give them a little more time to think about it."
Suhlen smiled and said, "Of course."
"Ayton requests to join your team!" Suhlen was in a good mood when he heard the system prompt in his ear.
