Chapter 299 Preparation before the war (1)
Looking at Lin Baiyan's worried expression, Lang Cang turned around and hugged the somewhat thin waist of the sub-beastman, holding him tightly in his arms.
He rested his chin on Lin Baiyan's shoulder, "I know, Baiyan, I know..."
Lin Baiyan patted Lang Cang's head reassuringly, "I will always be with you, forever."
No matter how many layers of fog or how many thorns and obstacles lie ahead, he will accompany Lang Cang all the way to the end.
……
Early the next morning, Lin Baiyan summoned all the orcs. This time, they would mobilize most of their people.
Lin Baiyan stood on the altar, his face solemn. "People of the Beast City, the Chaoxiong Tribe covets the wealth of the Cangyan Tribe and has now invaded the Giant Bear Tribe!"
"Now that Xiong Chong of the Giant Bear Tribe has appealed to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts for help, the elders have unanimously decided to take advantage of the situation and attack the Super Hero Tribe!"
The orcs below were filled with indignation, "These damned bandits!"
"That despicable Super Hero Tribe! I knew they were no good from the start!"
"We can't let the Chaoxiong tribe get away with this arrogance!"
Lang Cang pressed his hands down, "Quiet!"
As soon as he spoke, the central square fell silent, and the tall male beastmen stared intently at their leader on the altar.
Tiger Hill spoke first: "Boss, we'll listen to you. Let's show them the power of our Beast City!"
"That's right, we're not easy to bully! If you want our salt, you'd better think twice before you try to take on this tough nut!" Xi Zhao shouted, clenching his right fist.
Wolf Cang's deep eyes swept around. A fight was definitely necessary. If they weren't taught a lesson, wouldn't any tribe be able to covet their Beast City?
However, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is currently in a critical stage of construction, and in order to prevent the tribe from being attacked, they need to leave a certain number of people to guard it.
Wolf Cang pondered for a moment, "This time, I will bring four hundred male beastmen and one hundred sub-beastmen with me."
The beastmen were all excited when they heard that they would also be able to fight. They had been training for a long time, but this was the first time they would actually fight.
The sub-orcs in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts were not weaklings. Ever since the blacksmith was able to smelt iron, Lin Baiyan had given them several blueprints. In addition to bows and arrows, the blacksmith had also forged many long needle daggers.
For ranged attacks, they can use bows and crossbows, while for close combat, they have daggers. The small, beast-like form of the orcs gives them a significant advantage in close combat.
Moreover, the sub-beastmen work no less than the male beastmen every day. Take Hu Qing for example, he can even lift a stone pot weighing over a hundred pounds by himself.
Hu Qing's eyes lit up when he heard Lang Cang's words. Niu Lie thought he was a little scared, so he comforted him by pulling his hand and saying, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Niu Lie thought he would definitely go then. As for Hu Qing, Lang Cang hadn't said how to choose people yet. If he chose Hu Qing, he would definitely protect his partner with his own life.
Hu Qing frowned, finding Niu Lie's behavior somewhat inexplicable. "Who's afraid? Me? I can take down a wild boar with one punch!"
As Hu Qing spoke, he even punched a few times with great eagerness. His movements were so powerful that if he were to punch someone, he might be able to punch a hole in the orc's chest.
Niu Lie: "..."
He forgot that his partner was anything but conventional!
Niu Lie smiled helplessly, but his gaze towards Hu Qing was very gentle. He liked Hu Qing's vibrant appearance.
Then, Lang Cang on the altar spoke again, "Each orc who goes out will receive thirty catties of beast meat. Everyone, go and register with Hu Luan!"
Lang Cang pointed to Hu Luan, who was already sitting behind the table preparing to register, and of course, Yang Ye, who was assisting him.
If Hu Luan were to rely solely on himself, he probably wouldn't even be able to count the number of people.
After Lang Cang finished speaking, he and Lin Baiyan stepped down from the altar.
He plans to select a batch first, and then add more if there aren't enough people later.
After the two people left, the beastmen in the central square looked at each other and then swarmed towards the registration area.
Don't say that war involves bloodshed and sacrifice; orcs are born with a fearless spirit of adventure and a warlike mentality.
Moreover, this time it was to uphold the honor of Beast City; in the hearts of the beastmen, the collective honor is greater than anything else.
On this orcish continent where people live in tribal units, upholding the dignity and honor of the tribe is almost ingrained in the bones of every orc. Only when the tribe is doing better can they survive better.
After Lin Baiyan and Lang Cang left, they split up.
Lang Cang went to the blacksmith's workshop to take stock of all the weapons in the Beast City.
The weapons produced by the blacksmith's workshop were far more than just the light weapons of the orcs. Swords, tridents, whips, nunchucks—Lin Baiyan drew almost every weapon he knew.
Not only that, he also gave Hu Jiang a simple crossbow design, a drawing that he had barely managed to produce after a week of work.
After all, he hadn't studied this area before, so he could only try to replicate it based on his previous impressions.
After receiving the blueprints, Hu Jiang's eyes lit up. He and Ai Shi studied them for more than a month and created a strange hybrid.
At first, the two were somewhat discouraged, and Hu Jiang had no choice but to call Lin Baiyan over.
However, Lin Baiyan could only give them some basic advice; he didn't know anything more in-depth.
He barely managed to draw this blueprint.
The three men stared at each other, all with the same worried expression.
In the end, it was Fox Ice who happened to be passing by who saw this thing and found it novel.
Hu Bing felt like his bones were going to melt from staying cooped up in the heated kang room all day. Now that he finally saw something that interested him, he started to study it with great enthusiasm.
Unexpectedly, after tapping left and right, and then slightly adjusting a few mechanisms, the crossbow that had been unable to fire arrows suddenly became responsive.
It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Baiyan and the other two looked at Hu Bing as if she were the chosen one.
As expected, every profession has its own expertise.
Does that mean foxes are inherently smarter?
They seemed quite adept at this delicate work. Now, almost two-thirds of the carpentry team were Silver Fox orcs, with the rest mostly dwarf beastmen.
After Hu Bing joined, Lin Baiyan completely retired. There was no way around it; if you asked him any questions about architecture, he could still answer them.
When it comes to weapons manufacturing, there's really nothing we can do to help.
Fortunately, we have Fox Ice, a player with exceptional talent!
In the days that followed, the blacksmith shop and the carpentry team formed an industry chain.
The two departments complement each other, doubling the benefits.
