Lan Ling's gaze fell on Du Yan's face. He stared into his eyes, trying to find any deceit or conspiracy!
However, all he saw was a sense of relief. Du Yan's relief.
Lan Ling had said before that if Du Yan wanted to become a great person, he had to overcome the inner demons in his heart. And this inner demon was that Lan Ling, whom he had once looked down upon, was now standing high above him.
Moreover, Lan Ling had judged that with Du Yan's intelligence, it would be very difficult for him to overcome this inner demon.
However, if the external humiliation surpassed the humiliation of lowering his head to Lan Ling, then the situation might change.
However, was Lan Ling going to let him go?
For him, killing Du Yan was very simple. One sword strike was enough.
Du Yan said, "The pig iron and steel that Constantine smelts here are all stored in a secret cave. I'll take you there."
Then, Du Yan led the way in front of a cliff and activated a rotary mechanism.
There was the sound of water splashing, and then a stone door slowly opened.
There was a huge warehouse inside. From outside, Lan Ling could smell a metallic smell.
When he walked in to take a look, he immediately sucked in a cold breath.
Dolong and Gangtuo's breathing quickened and their heartbeats quickened.
They really didn't expect that there would be so … so many pig iron and steel ingots stored inside.
Du Yan said, "The furnaces in this mine are smelting all year round. But it's very difficult to sell the refined iron and steel. The Chimera Tribe can't use them all, but they can't stop either. So, the more they accumulate, the more they accumulate. "
The entire cave was filled with iron and steel ingots. Some of the iron ingots had even rusted.
Lan Ling asked, "How much iron is there? How much steel? "
Du Yan said, "More than two million kilograms of iron, and about ninety thousand kilograms of steel!"
More than two million kilograms of iron and ninety thousand kilograms of steel. They were really rich.
Whether it was to make weapons, armor, or city gates, it was more than enough.
Du Yan said, "There are many ox-carts in the mine, specially used to transport ores. They can transport these iron and steel ingots back to the tribe."
Lan Ling gazed at Du Yan for a while before he said, "Are you sure you want to surrender to me?"
Du Yan knelt on the ground and solemnly said, "Yes!"
Lan Ling asked, "Why?"
Du Yan said, "The demon in my heart is gone."
Lan Ling asked, "Why can it be removed?"
Du Yan said, "I wasn't convinced by you at first, and I felt that you were far inferior to me. I, on the other hand, tried my best to curry favor with Constantine and respect him from the bottom of my heart. In the end, he suffered defeat after defeat at your hands. The thirty thousand allied troops that you've destroyed is more than enough to crush my jealousy. Of course … there was also the day when Ninian humiliated me and Constantine lied to me and treated me coldly. "
If you want to calmly endure a certain kind of blow, the best way is to endure another, greater blow?
For example, the friendship between China and Korea depends on Japan? Friendship between China and Japan depends on South Korea?
If you want to get rid of this hatred, you have to cover it up with another greater hatred?
This really is a part of human nature.
However, from the looks of it, Du Yan was much better than Ling Ao. Ling Ao had completely sunk into jealousy and was unable to extricate himself. Even when Zhi Li had been destroyed, he had still been filled with fear towards Zhi Li and unwillingness and disdain towards Lan Ling.
Doron said, "Chief, let's send over a thousand people to occupy this mine. We'll have an endless supply of iron in the future."
Lan Ling looked at Gangtuo and asked, "What do you think?"
Gangtuo said, "I feel that we can't stay for long. We need to be like a gust of wind, only plundering and not occupying land. Our strength needs to be concentrated and not scattered. "
Lan Ling nodded. Gangtuo's mind was much clearer.
At this time, this mine really was like a naked woman, filled with temptation and completely defenseless. As long as they stretched out their hand, they could possess it.
He believed that many people would find it hard to resist this temptation.
However, there would be many such temptations in the future. If they encountered pastures, gathering grounds, flax fields, wouldn't they have to send troops to occupy them?
This way, how many soldiers would the Flame Imp Tribe have left?
Only plundering and not occupying land. Gangtuo immediately revealed the core strategy.
Lan Ling looked at Du Yan and asked, "How many soldiers does the Chimera Tribe have? How many warhorses, how many cavalry, and how much food?"
Du Yan said, "Only five thousand soldiers. Constantine went to the Silver Alliance for a meeting and took a thousand cavalry. Now, the tribe only has a thousand cavalry, three thousand infantrymen, and about seventeen hundred warhorses. "
Lan Ling said, "Go to the Chimera Tribe and report that the Flame Imp Tribe sent a thousand soldiers to plunder the mine and fought with you. Now, only five hundred are left, and they are continuously sending iron and steel ingots to the Flame Imp Tribe."
Du Yan trembled and said, "You, you want to attack the Chimera Tribe?"
Clearly, Lan Ling wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
This plan had two goals. The first was to wipe out the remaining troops of the Chimera Tribe. The second was to loot the Chimera Tribe.
If it was Constantine, he would definitely not fall for it. But Constantine II would definitely fall for it.
In this plunder, what Lan Ling needed the most was steel, followed by warhorses, cloth, and food.
Lan Ling wanted all of these. He would plunder as much as he could.
How much cloth and food was there in the Chimera Tribe? And most importantly, the warhorses.
Plundering the Chimera Tribe once was a huge fortune!
And the key was to test if Du Yan was truly loyal to Lan Ling.
Du Yan said, "Chieftain, Constantine II is indeed a hot-tempered and rash person. But he doesn't trust me. If I speak, it will only have the opposite effect."
Lan Ling said, "Then in this mine army, who does he trust the most?"
"Gou E, his cousin. He can be considered the true commander of this mine army." Du Yan said.
Gou E was clearly another nephew of Gou Li. Such a good-for-nothing actually became the deputy commander of the mine army. It seemed like the barbarian tribe was also full of nepotism.
Lan Ling said, "Is he dead?"
"No, he was afraid of death. He did not dare to show his face during the battle. After the great defeat, he immediately knelt on the ground and surrendered," Du Yan said.
The Chimera Tribe's mine guards were very brave. Of the three hundred people, most died in battle. Only twenty people knelt on the ground and surrendered.
At this moment, the twenty captives were kneeling in a row.
Lan Ling found this Gou E at a glance. He did not look like Gou Fu, but he looked a little like Gou Li.
This was because he was the only one among them who was wearing armor and had a pretty face.
Seeing Lan Ling look over, he immediately kowtowed with all his might. "I'm willing, I'm willing. Don't kill me!"
Before saying anything, he desperately said he was willing.
Lan Ling smiled. "What are you willing to do?"
Gou E said fawningly, "I'll do whatever you say?"
Lan Ling said to a cloaked warrior beside him, "Lift your mask."
After the cloaked warrior lifted his mask, the twenty captives kneeling on the ground exclaimed. It was actually … the chief's wife, Gou Li?
"Aunt …" Gou E exclaimed. Gou Li was his biological aunt.
How, how was this possible?
The chief's wife actually surrendered.
But how did the chief's wife become so young and beautiful?
Lan Ling touched Gou Li's towering peaks. The amazing elasticity was unparalleled.
And Gou Li's emotions were really complicated at this moment. Lan Ling plundered the Chimera Mine in front of her. Next, he planned to plunder the Chimera Tribe in front of her.
Lan Ling took out a poison pill from her bosom, then randomly found a captive and stuffed the poison pill into his mouth.
After a moment, the captive's face began to contort. He struggled, then let out a shrill scream as he rolled on the ground.
Following that, his body suddenly became rotten with holes, and balls of pus and blood flowed out.
"Pfft!" Just half a minute later, his body exploded into a pile of rotten flesh.
Everyone at the scene was frightened out of their wits.
Lan Ling took out another poison pill and placed it in front of Gou E. "Eat it!"
Gou E trembled in fear. He kowtowed and cried, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything, I'm willing to do anything. Aunt, save me, save me! "
Hearing Gou E's pig-like scream, Gou Li's expression did not change. She stood there motionlessly.
At the critical moment, she could even abandon her children, let alone her nephew.
Dolong stepped forward and dislocated Gou E's jaw. Lan Ling directly threw the poison down his throat and into his stomach.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Gou E's body trembled like a sieve.
Following that, Lan Ling took out a white pill and placed it in Gou E's mouth. Then, he closed his jaw.
"This is the antidote. You don't have to die." Lan Ling said.
Gou E trembled. "R-really?"
Lan Ling said, "Of course it's true. Do you have a stomachache?"
Gou E shook his head. "No."
"Then you won't die." Lan Ling said, "This antidote is only a temporary antidote. It can only protect your life for three days. The real antidote is with me."
Lan Ling held a blue elixir in her hand. Just by smelling it, one could smell the fragrance of a person.
Following that, Lan Ling said, "If you don't take the antidote after three days, you will die even more miserably than that person just now. So, do you know what you should do?"
Gou E kowtowed with all his might. "I know, I know. Cooperate with Lord Du Yan and trick Constantine II to lead the army out to save the mine."
Lan Ling patted his head. "So smart."
And Gou E was like a dog, nodding his head with all his might.
Following that, he took out an arrow and stabbed it into Gou E's buttocks.
"Ah …" Gou E screamed.
Lan Ling said, "This way, it'll be more realistic."
Then, he looked at Du Yan and used his sword to cut a few wounds on him, making it look like Du Yan had a fierce battle.
In fact, in this battle, Du Yan was very passive, so he wasn't injured.
This wasn't enough. It wasn't realistic enough.
Lan Ling said to Dolong, "Use your heavy sword and ruthlessly hack at Du Yan. Let him suffer a certain amount of internal injuries. Make him vomit blood, make his voice hoarse, and have lung sounds. His internal organs will definitely be damaged!"
"Yes!" Dolong said.
Then, he pulled out his sword and slashed at Du Yan.
Du Yan raised his sword to block.
"Clang, clang, clang …"
Dolong, this fool, didn't know how to be merciful.
An ear-piercing sound rang out. Du Yan really retreated. His internal organs shifted, and he spat out blood. He had suffered internal injuries.
"That's enough!" Lan Ling said, "Du Yan, Gou E, ride your horses and return to the Chimera Tribe to report."
"Yes!" Du Yan bowed.
And Gou E kowtowed on the ground in an exaggerated manner.
Then, the two of them rode their horses separately and galloped towards the Chimera Tribe seventy miles away.
Gou Li looked at Lan Ling and said coldly, "Among the men I've seen, in terms of treachery, no one can surpass you."
Dolong immediately shouted angrily, "You woman, how can you speak like that? Be careful that I don't beat you to death!"
Gangtuo hurriedly went forward and pulled Dolong.
The two of them clearly had an improper relationship. Whatever the woman said, it was just acting coquettishly. Why were you so serious?
Dolong said, "Why did you pull me?"
Gangtuo was speechless, "You fool!"
Then, Gangtuo forcefully pulled Dolong out of the cave.
From the corner of his eyes, Dolong saw that Gou Li was entangled with Lan Ling, and her hands were very dishonest. He was immediately shocked.
Gangtuo exerted force and pulled him away. Then, he closed the stone door of the cave.
Dolong was suddenly enlightened, "I, did I say something wrong?"
Gangtuo smiled and did not correct Dolong. Because this kind of Dolong was actually more liked by a superior like Lan Ling.
… …
The group of human refugees that Meng Tuoluo was in seemed to have really hit the jackpot.
They were really accepted by the Chimera Tribe. Moreover, they were even treated as distinguished guests by Constantine II.
This was because Constantine II had seen Dream Dala on top of the city gates. Even though she had disguised herself, Dream Dala still felt that she was a celestial being. He wholeheartedly wanted to get his hands on her, which was why, for the first time ever, he accepted this group.
Now, he was entertaining Meng Tuoluo in this castle that had not been repaired. Good wine and delicious food were innumerable.
At this time, Tie Ji and the others were really filled with emotion. Fortunately, they had been wise and farsighted, and had not stayed in the Flame Imp Tribe. Otherwise, they would have to work every day, always accompanied by mud.
Immediately, a human refugee said, "That Lan Ling is really shameless. A mere set of clothes and a meal, and he wants people to stay and work for him."
"Isn't that so? That tribe of his doesn't even have a house or anything. They are extremely poor, and they still want to beg us to stay. How laughable! "
"I really don't understand why those people are so stupid. They actually really stayed in the Flame Imp Tribe and let Lan Ling oppress and order them around!"
"I think that that Lan Ling of the Flame Imp Tribe must have used some shameful methods. One look at him and I think that he is a despicable and shameless person!"
Constantine II was blinded in one eye, and became a one-eyed man. He heard the people below scolding Lan Ling. His eyes looked at Meng Tuoluo's beautiful face and devilish figure. He really coveted her.
However, he did not want to use force for the time being. This woman was very skilled in martial arts. She had shown her skills the moment she entered the tribe. At this time, she was homeless. Coincidentally, she had been taken in by him, Constantine II. He now had a beautiful concubine who was skilled in martial arts.
The person Constantine hated the most was Lan Ling. At this time, the more the human refugees scolded Lan Ling, the happier he was. He repeatedly urged him to drink.
At this moment, the door of the castle was opened and two figures rushed in.
From far away, they could hear Gou E's cries.
"Cousin, cousin …" Gou E rushed in and knelt in front of Constantine II. "Quick, quick, send troops to save the mine. Lan Ling sent troops to plunder our mine. All our brothers are dead. Du Yan and I fought for a long time before we escaped!"
Following that, Du Yan walked in and knelt on one knee. He coughed for a while and foamed with blood.
"Young Chief, the Flame Imp Tribe's Dolon led a thousand troops to attack our mine. Three hundred of our mine guards were annihilated," Du Yan said.
Constantine II said, "Did Lan Ling come?"
Du Yan was taken aback. He shook his head. "No!"
Constantine said furiously, "Lan Ling, you motherf * cker! How dare you come to rob my mine! Men, gather the troops and follow me to snatch back the mine. We'll kill the Flame Imp Tribe's troops! "
