The third leader of the foreign troops, the voluptuous Dina, walked in and said to Suo Mo, "Foster Father, is he really your lost son?"
Suo Mo replied, "I don't have a son, but from today onwards, he will be my son."
Dina looked at Lan Ling for a long time and couldn't bring herself to call him "younger brother".
In the end, Lan Ling took the initiative and said, "Hello, Sister Dina."
"Hello." Dina was a little unnatural. She still felt that this sudden kinship was a little sudden.
Suo Mo said, "Originally, we should have prepared a delicious meal to welcome you. However, as you can see, we don't have overnight rations."
Lan Ling was stunned. "You are leading over 1,000 foreign troops. How can you be so poor?"
Dina said, "We, the foreign troops, are at the bottom of the tribe. In every battle, we are the ones fighting at the front. During every hunt, we are also the ones with the most missions. The food we hunt accounts for one-fifth of the entire tribe, but the food we get is less than one-hundredth of it. Most of the foreign troops are starving at all times. Food is distributed every day, and the tribe gives us the worst rations and almost spoiled meat. Just like that, we get three taels of rations and four taels of meat every day. Only when we go hunting will we be given enough rations and meat. "
Three taels of rations and four taels of meat every day was barely enough for an ordinary human. To the barbarians, this little bit of food could only prevent them from starving to death.
Lan Ling said, "Uncle, you are the leader of the foreign troops. Do you only get this little bit of food?"
Suo Mo said, "Child, remember that in the foreign troops, there might be high and low positions, but their statuses are all the same. As the leader, if I don't lead by example and share weal and woe with everyone, the foreign troops will disperse. And this foreign army is our home. Without this foreign army, we wouldn't be able to survive. "
Lan Ling dared to understand that when there was an absolute shortage of resources, there was no need to worry about scarcity, but rather unevenness.
The food would be distributed equally, and it would be absolutely fair. The leader would share weal and woe with everyone. In this way, every member of the foreign army would have a strong sense of identity with this group. Only then would they be united and full of morale.
Because of this, when Lan Ling followed Dina into the camp, he noticed that although the foreign soldiers did not look well and were all suffering from hunger, they were all in high spirits.
Once the fair and just order was destroyed, the foreign army would immediately collapse.
Like his father, Sauron, Suo Mo was a true commander, a perfect commander.
This kind of person could be loved by every soldier and respected by every enemy.
Lan Ling said, "Uncle, I saved a three-year-old girl on the road, I regard her as my daughter. She was a demon descendant, and a demon descendant that could fly. But she fell into the hands of that little monster shaman priest. In order to take her away, that shaman priest didn't hesitate to push me down the volcano and burn me to death. "
The moment these words came out, Suo Mo's expression changed. "A descendant of the Evil Demons that can fly? This was the race with the purest bloodline and the strongest talent in the entire Devil Race. If it falls into Ge Lu's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
So the name of this little monster shaman priest was Goru.
Following which, his expression turned serious. "Did this little girl pass the trial of the Heaven's Eye?"
"Yes," Lan Ling replied.
Suo Mo said, "Since that's the case, then she is a member of our foreign army. No one can take her away. Don't worry, I'll bring you to get the little girl back tomorrow. The reason why we can't go tonight is because we, the foreign army, cannot leave the camp after dark. Otherwise, we'll be treated as intruders and shot to death. "
Hearing up to this point, Lan Ling's face twitched violently.
The status of the foreign army in the Chimera Tribe wasn't just low. They were simply like pigs and dogs.
They couldn't live in houses and could only live in caves.
They hunted one-third of the food but were given less than one-hundredth of it.
In normal battles, they could only be cannon fodder forever.
They couldn't go out after dark or they would be shot to death.
Lan Ling said, "Uncle, can you still tolerate our foreign army being mistreated like this?"
Suo Mo sighed. "Child, you still don't understand the savage world. Compared to the days of wandering, this is already heaven. You really can't imagine the despair and terror of the people around me dying one after another while I was wandering. "
Lan Ling now also knew why there were so few people who passed the trial of the Heaven's Eye every time.
The so-called trial of the Heaven's Eye didn't have any laws at all. It was completely based on the shaman priest's own will. Whoever he wanted to live would live.
Moreover, the ones who stayed were the weaker barbarians.
That was because the Chimera Tribe needed the foreign army as cannon fodder and a hunting team.
However, they definitely couldn't let the foreign army become stronger. Otherwise, it would be hard to control them.
Not only that, they had to starve them every day. Even if they wanted to rebel, they wouldn't have the strength.
However, even if they were mistreated like this, the foreign army could still tolerate it.
After all, no matter how humiliating and difficult it was, it was still much better than the days of exile. After all, they had a place to stay inside the wall and food to eat every day.
Suo Mo patted Lan Ling's shoulder and didn't say anything else. Instead, he said, "Let's go to the training field outside and try out your martial arts."
Lan Ling followed Suo Mo and Dina out of the cave and arrived at the extremely simple and crude training field outside.
"Lan Ling, what's the approximate level of your martial arts?" Suo Mo asked.
Lan Ling said, "I was once equivalent to a high-level human warrior. However, I came back from the dead and completely changed my body. Everything is brand new, so I don't know."
Hearing that he came back from the dead, Dina couldn't help but look at Lan Ling.
Suo Mo nodded and said, "Let's test your strength first."
He brought Lan Ling to a corner of the training field. There was a pile of black stone strips of different lengths. There were very regular markings on the stone strips.
"These are black stones, and their density is very high." Suo Mo said, "Do you see the markings on these stone strips? One of the markings is 50 kilograms. Let's see your strength first. "
Lan Ling picked a black stone strip with 10 markings, grabbed it with his right hand, and suddenly lifted it.
In the end, he realized that it was like it had taken root and couldn't be lifted at all.
Subsequently, he took a deep breath and felt the blood in his body boiling. He suddenly lifted the 500-kilogram stone strip.
Suo Mo said, "My physical arm strength is less than 500 kilograms. However, with the power of my bloodline, it can reach 500 kilograms. "
Lan Ling felt that it was a pity. Back then, after he had sucked the blood of a werewolf dry, he felt that his body was very powerful. However, after falling into the magma and being burned for two to four hours, the power of his bloodline had to continuously recover in order to protect his body and life. This had consumed a huge amount of energy.
Otherwise, his strength would definitely not be limited to this.
Suo Mo said, "Next, we will test your speed. Dina, stand 100 meters away."
"Yes!" Dina's fiery and delicate body suddenly flashed and dashed 100 meters away.
This speed gave Lan Ling a big shock. It was at most three seconds, which was three times the human world's record. Furthermore, this was only Dina's physical strength, and she hadn't used her bloodline magic yet.
"Dina is now 100 meters away from you." Suo Mo said, "Use your fastest speed to rush over and see how many seconds you need. Remember, don't use your bloodline magic, just use your physical strength."
Lan Ling took a deep breath and suddenly burst out, charging towards Dina crazily.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, six seconds, seven seconds, eight seconds...
The speed of eight seconds had exceeded the human world record, but the difference between him and Dina was very big.
It seemed that the difference in time was only slightly more than two times, but in terms of strength, it could be more than ten times.
Suo Mo nodded, then handed a knife to Lan Ling and said, "Use your fastest speed to brandish this knife. Let me see how many times you can brandish it in a second. Remember, don't use your bloodline magic, just use your physical strength."
Lan Ling took the knife, which should be about 65 kilograms.
He took a deep breath and used his fastest speed to slash.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Five times, a 65 kilogram knife, five slashes in a second.
Suo Mo nodded and said, "I more or less know."
From Dina's eyes, Lan Ling could see that his level of martial strength was very low.
"Child, you are my family." Suo Mo said, "I know that you once ruled a city. There might have been tens of thousands, or even 100,000 people!"
The moment this was said, Dina had a whole new level of respect for him.
However, Lan Ling didn't just rule a city, but a country.
It wasn't tens of thousands, but 70 million people!
Suo Mo continued, "I know that you definitely have some other extraordinary abilities, such as wisdom! However, this is the Savage World, and martial strength is respected! In a difficult and weak group like our foreign race army, absolute fairness and justice are required. Wisdom is something that can't be measured. Only martial strength can be measured. Therefore, in the foreign race army, or even in the entire tribe, what kind of martial strength you possess will determine what kind of position you can assume. "
Indeed, wisdom couldn't be measured, but martial strength could!
Suo Mo pointed at Dina and said, "The reason why she is the third leader of the foreign race army isn't because she is my foster daughter, but because her martial strength is ranked third in the foreign race army."
Up until now, Lan Ling had only seen the first and third leaders. He didn't know who the second leader was.
Suo Mo continued, "Your martial strength is roughly at the level of a rank 3 warrior in the Savage World, which is around 200 in the entire foreign race army. Therefore, you can assume the position of a five-man leader."
Dina said, "Foster Father, I heard that Lan Ling's spiritual power level is very high. When he was in the cave prison, he once killed a powerful werewolf."
Suo Mo said in astonishment, "Oh, tell me in detail."
Lan Ling described how he had used his spiritual power to attack the werewolf's brain, causing it to lose control of its body, and then biting its neck to suck its blood.
Along the way, the werewolf had torn him into a bloody mess. It was a tragic sight, but because of the demonic blood in his body, he had been able to recover continuously until he was as good as new.
Suo Mo said, "Spiritual talent isn't very useful in the middle and lower classes of the Savage World. This is because the brain structure of many barbarians is very different from that of humans. Their bodies have battle memory and muscle memory. Even if you destroy their brain, their bodies can still fight according to their battle memory. Can you understand what I'm saying? "
Lan Ling nodded and said, "I can understand."
This was like a locust. Even if it was already dead, its body could still move. If one pinched its thigh, its leg could still kick out fiercely.
This was battle memory, muscle memory.
However, many barbarians' battle memory was much stronger. Even if their brain was attacked, their entire body could still attack crazily.
Therefore, barbarians were a bloodthirsty race, a race of warriors.
Suo Mo said, "Let me test your spiritual power. Dina, move 100 meters away."
Dina retreated 100 meters.
Suo Mo said, "Lan Ling, close your eyes."
Lan Ling closed his eyes.
Suo Mo said, "Can you feel Dina?"
Lan Ling said, "Yes, she even scratched my back."
At a distance of 100 meters, Lan Ling's spiritual power could no longer be said to be sensing. It was more of an inner vision.
Immediately, Suo Mo was completely stunned. "Dina, retreat another 200 meters and make a small movement. Also, hold your breath and hold your power. Don't leak it."
"Yes!" Dina said.
Dina retreated 200 meters, held her breath, and held her energy aura. Then, she extended two fingers.
"Dina extended two fingers, one middle finger and the other thumb. Also, her tail was raised by about 12 degrees," Lan Ling said.
After hearing this, Dina's face turned red and she glared at Lan Ling.
Suo Mo was stunned and then burst into laughter. This made Lan Ling feel somewhat baffled.
Among many demons, the involuntary raising of the tail represented the urge to mate.
Following which, Suo Mo said, "Dina, come back!"
When Dina returned, her gaze had already instinctively avoided Lan Ling.
Suo Mo said sternly, "Lan Ling, have you specially cultivated spiritual power?"
"I did in the past, but after my body was reborn, I didn't," Lan Ling said.
Suo Mo said, "Then your spiritual power talent is extremely high. Your spiritual power is very shocking. But … martial power can be measured, but spiritual power can't. In the eyes of the barbarians, spiritual power is a bad symbol. Do you … understand? "
"I understand, just like the little monster shaman priests," Lan Ling said.
"Yes." Suo Mo said, "Among the middle and low barbarians, many of those with high spiritual power are freaks. The barbarians advocate power and speed. They feel that this is true martial power. Your spiritual power is so high that you can reach a high position in the Devil Kingdom's army. But among the barbarians, the only standard to measure martial power is power and speed. Therefore, you can only be a five-man leader. Are you willing? "
A five-man leader was also known as a five-man leader. As the name suggested, it was the commander of five men.
Lan Ling nodded and said, "I am willing."
Suo Mo said, "Of course, if you want to be promoted, you can challenge a 10-man leader, 50-man leader, or even a centurion. However, in the barbarian army, you have to use power and speed to defeat your opponent. Only then will you be respected and recognized. If you use spiritual power to defeat your opponent, you will be ostracized and seen as a heretic. "
At this moment, Dina couldn't help but say, "Actually, spiritual power is a very noble and powerful talent. It's just that this world is ignorant and backward."
Suo Mo said, "Therefore, my child, even though you are my relative and possess powerful spiritual power, you can only be a five-man leader. I'm sorry. Because fairness is the soul of the foreign army. "
"I understand, I am willing." Lan Ling said, "I am willing to use my power and speed to conquer everyone. I know that in the barbarian world, martial power is respected! "
Following that, Lan Ling said, "Uncle, there is something I should tell you. I have a strong desire to suck blood. Moreover, every time I suck blood, it will bring me great power!"
Suo Mo wasn't the only one who was stunned. Even Dina was completely stunned. She looked at Lan Ling in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Is this very evil? "Lan Ling said.
Suo Mo's eyes widened and he said in a trembling voice, "The highest ruling class of the Devil Kingdom are all vampiric demons. Di Mo Tuo is a vampiric sovereign! In the barbarian world, the vampiric demons are the most powerful and evil race. "
