No wonder it is always said that the deep wilderness is full of dangers and that ordinary pioneer lords who build territories there have a high chance of death.

After experiencing a series of events, Lear finally had an intuitive understanding of this statement.

Ordinary wilderness monsters are not so bad, but the dangerous ones are those forces that have their own bases in the wilderness.

Each of the people he met had a strong background.

Even if you dig a little deeper, most of them can be related to gods.

Even if there is no god to support him, he must have his own trump card.

Just like the barbarian chieftain in front of him—Bettina.

There is an ancient soul hidden in his body. Once it explodes, it can kill a demigod!

How fucking crazy is this?!
The extraordinary people are already at the top of this world, and mortals cannot reach them at all. Now, anyone who appears will have the means to deal with those above the extraordinary people.

Indeed, a world with a long history cannot be underestimated as it has a profound heritage.

Even God doesn’t know how many batches have been replaced, and no one knows where the big guys or their smurfs are hiding.

Lear took a deep look at this wild figure who was like a cheetah or a wolf.

It now seems that the opponent is still in the stage of recovering strength.

Didn't reach the heights I once reached.

I took another look at the second piece of information. The ruins that Bettina mentioned are not simple. Only beings above level 16 can survive there.

This is no ordinary danger, no wonder the other party would invite him.

After calming down, he spoke slowly.

"Ms. Bettina, I am also very curious about the ruins. However, I am currently busy with work and need to put it off for a while."

"If I can finish my work early, I will explore with you before the ruins are closed."

In three months, he was promoted from level 11 to level 16. If you tell others about it, outsiders would think it is just a fairy tale.

Are you kidding me? If the level is so easy to upgrade, then there shouldn't be so few high-level combat power.

However, with full authority, these difficulties are not impossible.

Bettina sensed the sincerity in Lear's tone and her gaze softened.

"It was my fault for being so reckless. If you can make it in time, we can talk about it then."

The other party was able to build a powerful territory from scratch in just a few months, so it is normal for him to be busy with affairs.

Now Hisham's clan has only more than 10,000 people, and the daily government affairs are already a headache for her.

Lear nodded.

Changing the subject, he said.

"This time, at Azaken's request, I also brought some armor produced in the City of Wisdom."

Then he looked at the barbarian leader.

"Azaken, go get it from Bubblemon."

"Yes, my lord!"

The burly barbarian immediately turned and left, returning a moment later with a dozen warriors carrying sets of armor.

Bettina looked at it with interest. The metallic luster was very textured in the slightly dim hall.

He walked forward, picked up a corner, rubbed it carefully, and looked at it, and after a moment he exclaimed in admiration.

"Superior forging technology!"

"it is good!"

"Sir Lear, how much armor can you provide for the trade?"

Barbarian armor is made to look like a normal human.

2-star level, the forging difficulty is several levels lower than that of the Spider Banshee's armor - the size is not even the same concept.

Now that the blacksmith shop has skilled workers, it is entirely possible to produce in large quantities.

After a slight hesitation, he spoke slowly.

"Our current production orders are already full. If the Hisham clan needs it, they will have to wait until after December."

"At that time, Wei Lu City can provide 2,000 sets of armor as an initial transaction."

The current production capacity is limited, and the Night Shadow Clan needs to be supplied first, and he also needs to produce a batch to develop the Loran City market.

The barbarian territory is not that important, let’s put it in the back row for now.

In a few days, after bringing back the thousands of big-eared people obtained from the Night Shadow Clan to the territory, we can carry out secondary expansion of production capacity.

Maybe it can be produced earlier.

Bettina nodded happily.

"That's good, we can accept that. So, what about the food?"

"Does your lordship have any extra food for sale?"

Although there were no powerful enemy threats around the Hisham clan.

But with more than 10,000 people, they need a huge amount of food to fill their stomachs as soon as they open their eyes every day.

With just the spoils from hunting, they had almost wiped out the large herds of wild beasts within dozens of kilometers around.

Further away, the safety decreases sharply, and ordinary barbarians dare not go deeper.

Currently, the main food source is the rhizome of a plant, which can be ground into powder, added with water and steamed before being eaten.

The energy it provides is no less than that of ordinary wheat.

But even so, the Hisham clan is now finding it difficult to continue.

Every time we go out to look for food, we have to go dozens of kilometers away, which is a huge waste of time.

The barbarians' control over farming is primitive and wild.

A lot of land was reclaimed, but it didn't produce any decent food.

In addition, the tribe is constantly absorbing new barbarians, and now it has begun to run out of money.

This is why she is in a hurry to open up trade channels.

If you want to build a barbarian main city, population is the most basic resource and cannot be given up.

The already tight times have become even more difficult.

If this continues, the entire territory may not be able to hold out in a year or two.

But since it is the main city, it must have a fixed station.

We can't just move to another place if all the food here is eaten up, right?

Wouldn't all these walls and buildings be a waste of effort? According to the previous wandering practice, building a main city would be a waste of time.

In that chaotic period of ancient times, she was killed by a powerful enemy at the critical moment of her final promotion just because she was a wandering lone wolf with no power to rely on.

In this life, she must make the barbarians rise up and have their own power!

This situation must not continue any longer!
His eyes were extremely firm.

Lear sensed the subtle changes in the other person's emotions and felt a little emotional.

If he had not developed agriculture resolutely after arriving at the swamp, the city of Wei Lu would have been self-sufficient in food.

Now I am afraid that I will do the same as the other party, buying food with a bit of cautious pleading.

"Ms. Bettina, since the barbarians are our friends, we must support them."

"Although there is not much food in Weilu City, I am willing to trade some of it with the Hisham clan."

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, the Hisham clan will always remember it! Barbarians never forget the friendship of their friends."

"You don't have to be so polite. I will send someone to discuss the specific transaction price tomorrow. By the way, there are some barbarians who have stayed in Weilu City for a long time. It's time to send them home."

"Also, you can appoint Azaken to stay in Weilu City as a trade representative so that we can communicate in a timely manner in the future."

"Your Excellency has considered it carefully. What's next?"

After Li Er had an in-depth conversation with the boss, who had short hair that went past his ears, spoke in a domineering tone, and had a sharp gaze, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the sky was gradually getting darker.

"Ms. Bettina, let's stop talking here for now. I have to return to my territory."

"Tomorrow, the first batch of food will arrive at Hisham's clan."

"I'll bring back the remaining barbarians, too."

"In the future, I hope our friendship will last forever."

The value of the Hisham clan is much lower than that of the Nightshadow clan, but the barbarian chief has an ancient soul hidden in his body.

Once it explodes, it can kill a demigod!

Moreover, he was also very interested in the ruins.

It’s not too late to bury a hook first and come back later.

Bettina nodded slightly, staring at him with aggressive eyes.

"In that case, I won't try to persuade you to stay any longer. I look forward to your caravan arriving tomorrow."

Both parties were decisive people, and after a few pleasantries, they did not stay any longer. Lear turned around and left the rough hall and returned to the square.

Under the nervous gaze of the barbarians around him, he waved his hand and took off with the big demon and the bubble beast.

The next moment, a dozen huge falcons flew over from all directions and led them away from the Hisham clan.
In the hall.

After hearing from her subordinates that Lear and his party had already flown out of the city, Bettina couldn't help but look at Azaken.

"Is Lord Lear's territory really as extraordinary as you say?"

Although Lear had just praised the other party generously, he was somewhat vague in many places.

The new leaders of the Hisham clan around them also became curious and looked at each other with burning eyes.

Azaken's face showed a bit of complexity, and he spoke in a low voice.

"My Lord Chief, the real Wei Lu City is more extraordinary than what I said."

"Lord Lear, it really took only three months to build a powerful territory!"

"Residents live and work in peace and contentment, agricultural products are plentiful, and industry is expanding rapidly."

"The army is powerful, with heavy cavalry, swarms of man-eating bees flying in the sky, as well as Nagas, demons, and night elves."

"Heroes are even more powerful. The six great demons that came this time are only a part of them!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became.

"And did you know, Chief? In the City of Wisdom, all knowledge is free!!"

"Lord Lear has sent out the Swamp Witch to spread knowledge to the residents every night. Everyone can attend the classes and learn. I say again, everyone can learn, even the slaves who have just joined the City of Dew!!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that, except for the newcomers who joined in the past half month, there are no illiterate people in the city of Weilu now. Almost all residents can write hundreds or thousands of common characters and can read most books."

"The food in Wei Lu City is now filling up several granaries, and the territory is also reclaiming more land for planting. There is no need to worry about food at all."

"In the swamp, mud and water are mixed together, and clean spring water is almost impossible to find. However, the life that just transported the cargo ore can filter out the clear water and provide clean and delicious water for the entire territory."

"We are also planning to start large-scale breeding of three-tailed pigs, and the breeding area has been expanded to hundreds of acres of fish farms."

Azaken kept talking until his mouth was dry, and only then did he vent some of the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

Who can understand him?

He witnessed the establishment of such a magnificent territory from scratch and participated in most of the events personally.

But I had to keep all this in my heart. Now that I saw my own people, I finally had someone to talk to.

At first, the Hisham clan members around were skeptical and even a little disdainful, but when they heard the rest, their expressions became more and more unsightly, and finally they fell into complete silence.

Hearing what the other party said, how come the territory they have been running for several years is not as good as the one that the human lord has been running for a few months? !
They used to be quite proud of their barbarian main city, but after comparing it now, they felt that something was wrong.

Abundant food, the ability to produce sturdy and sharp armor and weapons, a powerful army, high-level heroes, and a large number of knowledgeable residents, this is what their dream territory is like, right?

Bettina noticed that the crowd was somewhat losing their will and took a deep breath.

Sir Lear, you have given me a difficult problem.

After calming down, he swept his aggressive gaze around, forcing everyone to subconsciously tilt their heads to the side.

A voice that would not tolerate disobedience slowly sounded.

“Every race has its own opportunities. What we can do is to seize what we have now instead of doubting, being discouraged or retreating.”

"Since the other party is better, then we should learn from them. Even if we can't reach their level, we will become better."

"Remember, we are doing something that has never been done before - building our barbarian capital in the wilderness!"

"Since we are pioneers, we must face various difficulties!"

"We are pioneers, so we must wade through these thorns!"

"Keep your heads up and keep fighting!"

Those simple words with strong fighting spirit were like a shot in the arm, instantly injecting energy into everyone.

Everyone perked up and looked at Bettina. Her wild figure was like the leader of the alpha wolf leading them hunting, ferocious and full of charm!
This is their chieftain, their leader!
Without each other, the barbarians would still be wandering in the wilderness, and it would be impossible for them to own this magnificent city that they had never dared to think of before!
The other party will definitely lead the barbarians to glory!
They beat their chests with their right hands and spoke in a firm tone.

"The Barbarians Will Rise!!"

When Lear returned to the City of Dew, the moon was already high in the sky.

The clanging sound of forging still echoed over the territory.

Turning around, the blacksmith shop was still brightly lit.

He did not hesitate and brought Bubble Beast directly to the yard of the blacksmith shop.

Then unload!

Two hundred bubbles and thousands of tons of ore clattered.

It poured down into the yard like thunder.

A mountain of ore appeared in an instant, splashing up dust all over the sky.

Ore is simply stone that has not been smelted. It does not need to be carefully preserved and can be piled anywhere.

Hearing the noise, a large group of people curiously poked their heads out of the doors and windows of the five buildings of the blacksmith shop.

Everyone was surprised to see such a large pile of ore.

My goodness, such a high mountain, how many weapons can be forged? !

Soon, Bain, who was inspecting the blacksmith shop, came with the Frye leader Brin.

After seeing Lear, he bowed with surprise.

"Good night, my lord"

After Brin stood up, his eyes immediately turned to the piles of ore. With a slight perception, his eyes were filled with light.

"This concentration of magic power is definitely a 4-star ore!"

"My lord, this, this is too much!!"

How can you find 4-star ore piled up in mountains?

Compared to the previous Abyssal Magic Iron and Scarlet Magic Iron, this is the real ore mountain.
Lear smiled.

“This is just the beginning, there will be more to come.”

As he spoke, he looked at Bane.

"I have established relations with the Nightshade clan and the barbarian tribe, the Hisham clan."

"Tomorrow morning, send the president of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, Brando, to visit the two territories again."

"Trading with the Hisham clan requires food. Have someone prepare it in advance."

"The Night Shadow Clan doesn't lack anything. We will send the weapons to them after they are forged. I have already negotiated with their priests. The thousand big-eared slaves in their territory have also been sent to us. We will bring them back tomorrow."

"When the time comes, send all the Bubble Beasts to pick them up and don't waste time on the journey."

"I'll have the Archdemon and Scarlet Wasp escort you to ensure safety."

Today's outing was quite fruitful, as we established direct connections with both territories.

Subsequent trade exchanges can now be carried out normally.

What limits him now is not external factors but the productivity constraints of the blacksmith shop.

Thinking of this, he looked at Brin.

He only has about 30 Frye people now, it would be great if he could get 300. He will go to Loran City at the end of the month to see if he can buy some Frye slaves.

He loves these lives so much.

The swampman hero responded with delight.

"I'll arrange it later."

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, his face became a little more serious, and he spoke softly.

"Sir, the Hall of Valor has been completed and can be officially opened tomorrow."

"In addition, the criteria for judging the medal of honor have been improved. We have selected the first batch of people to be awarded the medal. We need your confirmation."

Li Er's expression was a little subtle again. After building it for so long, it was finally completed.

Valhalla is a place to worship and commemorate the fallen soldiers.

In the future, every key battle in the City of Weilu will be engraved in it for residents to admire.

The heroes who sacrificed their lives will also leave their names behind along with these battles.

This is definitely an important building to unite people and build morale.

Who doesn't want to leave behind their name after their death to be admired by future generations and make their descendants proud?

"Tomorrow morning, the Hall of Heroes will be officially opened. At the same time, the awarding ceremony will be held in front of the Hall of Heroes."

"And each warrior who sacrifices for the territory will be awarded a hero badge."

"This medal is unique and can only be received by fallen soldiers. If there are people at home who have it, this medal will be awarded to their relatives."

As buildings are completed, systems are improved.

The empty territory is gradually being filled. (End of this chapter)
