After it was clear that Liu Yifei was a lord "worthy of following", the old lizard man naturally corrected his attitude immediately and began to treat himself as the opponent's subordinate. If not, he would not have been so active in helping Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei negotiated a "deal".

Liu Yifei didn't know that the old lizard man had confirmed his "master" status in his heart, but he could still feel the old lizard man's respectful attitude towards him. What he didn't expect was that such a respectful old lizard man

, but after figuring out Liu Yifei’s purpose, she gorgeously rejected Liu Yifei’s idea...

"Why...why?" Liu Yifei asked puzzledly.[]

"Haha~ Lord Liuyun, sit down, this matter... actually has something to do with you not knowing much about the habits of the water tribe. Let me explain it to you slowly." He pulled Liu Yifei, who was a little dazed, to sit down.

After getting down, the old lizard man started talking.

It turns out that compared to the races on land, the fighting ability of the aquatic tribe is obviously weaker, but this does not mean that the battlefield value of the aquatic tribe can be ignored.

Liu Yifei, who is proficient in the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, also knows many hidden aquatic creatures. They may not have strong offensive and defensive attributes, but they have abnormal special effects for protection. In battle, their effectiveness is not weaker than that of any land race.

Even if the combination is appropriate, with a small amount of aquatic life characteristics, it can be able to play around with the land army~

The reason why Liu Yifei urgently wanted to establish trade relations with the large water tribe was that in addition to quickly accumulating wealth in his territory, another idea was to gain the trust of the other party first, and then try to get some aquatic special forces.

Liu Yifei has no plans to attack anyone in the near future except for the group of dwarf tribes that suddenly appeared, but he will not give up any opportunity to enhance the strength of his territory and army, so as long as there is a chance, Liu Yifei still wants to

Gather as many strange people as possible to serve under your command.

But Liu Yifei only knew about the units and battlefield special effects in the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

Having never lived in this huge virtual world, Liu Yifei has too little understanding of the nature of living things~

In this regard, the old lizard man is experienced.

The biggest characteristic of the aquatic tribe is their suspicion!

This point is clearly demonstrated from the low-level Tidal Murloc to the high-end Deep Sea Naga!

They are suspicious of all enemies, and instinctively retain a great sense of distrust towards intelligent creatures on land~

Even if there are some forces that have been able to cooperate with the aquatic tribe, they cannot gain even a little more trust from the aquatic tribe.

The "cooperation draft" proposed by the old lizard man before with the fishman village was actually mainly used to stabilize the other party.

Because if the previous situation continues, God knows how long these fish-men can persist, and the new creatures that migrate may not be aquatic creatures, and even if they are, they may not be as "fish-men"

Easy to get along with."

Due to the language barrier and simple and direct personality, the impression left by the fishmen on most players is that they are low-level, barbaric, and cruel. At least from their habit of eating raw fish, they have nothing to do with civilization.

But in fact, the murlocs are relatively easy to get along with. Basically, as long as you are stronger than them, they will not dare to attack you directly, and they will completely ignore you, unlike many other creatures that like to ask for trouble, knowing that they are not your opponent.

They will also come and harass you from time to time.

And if you understand the habits of fish people, that would be great!

Because of their low intelligence, they are destined to be easily "abducted" or "controlled."

Murlocs are greedy, but they are weak and have little status in the aquarium, which makes their greed turn into a twisted perversion.

For example, the "buy and sell" proposed by the old lizard man before.

If it were another water tribe, I'm afraid no one would agree to his "barbaric" request, and the two sides might start fighting at that time. Afterwards, regardless of victory or defeat, that water tribe would definitely move elsewhere.

Why?

Because this “sale” involves “population”!

From the perspective of foreigners, fish-man warriors are just second-level mercenaries that are not very powerful. If the opponent is an aquatic city or aquatic country, it is not surprising to buy and sell some fish-man warriors.

Because there are many races living in a city or country, generally anyone from the same camp can live there, and there is no particularly obvious racial distinction between people. They are only treated according to strength and rank.

But the situation was different before. It was just a "murloc village", and every murloc warrior was their "people" and "compatriots" to them.

The reason why the old lizard man raised this point was not that he really wanted these flashy fish-men warriors, but that he wanted to test the opponent's "bottom line".

Sure enough, after mentioning the weekly tribute of four murloc warriors, the face of the other speaker turned ugly. This also let the old lizard man know that this murloc village seemed to have some rules and did not belong to

Chaotic evil murlocs.

The old lizard man even dared to conclude that if he didn't say the last half of the sentence, this fishman village might disappear completely in a short time!

However, when the old lizard man mentioned that they would provide some steel ingots in exchange, the fishman boss's eyes suddenly lit up! The other party did not even think about concealing his eager desire, claiming that he could get it right at that time.

This week's transaction is completed. I wonder if the old lizard man has any steel ingots~

Obviously, there are some rules in this fishman village, but the situation is limited, and their intelligence is not high, and they are obviously affected by instinct~

But even so, it doesn't mean that the other party will easily betray the situation of the wealthy underwater clan.

Liu Yifei just wanted to do more business through the underwater clan, accumulate more financial resources in the territory, and then if the situation allowed, he would bring back some mercenary units with special effects.

Who knew that the old lizard man's appetite was much more than that! He actually wanted to annex the entire nearby underwater clan!

"Annexation? I...you...this...isn't reliable?" Liu Yifei choked hard and asked in disbelief.

"It doesn't matter whether we are reliable or not~ In this world, only those with big fists have the right to speak. As long as we are strong enough, Lord, if you show some tricks, you don't have to worry about the other party not agreeing.

After all, they also hope to obtain more specialties on land through us. We do not need their absolute loyalty, only limited loyalty.

A little loyalty and a moderately low profile can lead to more supplies and greater development prospects.

Oh~ Is there a more wonderful deal in the world than this?

Lord, you must not be prematurely satisfied just because of the little achievements in front of you~"

It was not without reason why the old lizard man so actively encouraged Liu Yifei to expand his power.

In the eyes of the old lizard man, Liuyun's innate advantages were simply too great.

The Sigh Mountains cover an extremely large area, almost one-twentieth the size of the entire continent.

Moreover, there are continuous mountains on it, and the overall area is unimaginably large~

How many secrets and treasures are buried in such a vast space is really tempting!

What's more important is that compared with the mainland where powerful enemies are everywhere and the living space has been compressed to the extreme, it is difficult to find a suitable development space that is not restricted by others.

Sighing Mountains has solved this problem very well~

This place is located in the western part of the continent. Going further south, you will reach the westernmost edge of the elven influence. To the north, you will find the snowy mountains of the Tower Clan that are constantly rising.

As for whether there is other land further west of this land...

From ancient times to the present, no one knows~

But at least this place is no longer subject to the rules of many powerful players in the mainland. Apart from the difficulty in the beginning, once the prototype of the territory is established, the later development will be very fast and convenient!

The old lizard people are a wandering ethnic group that have completely lost their homeland. Such ethnic groups appear all the time in nature, and they also continue to die out all the time.

Such wandering groups will become a thorn in the side of powerful local groups no matter where they go. The longer they wander, the more battles they experience!

And war will inevitably mean losses!

Either find a suitable place to settle down as soon as possible, or be completely torn apart by countless enemies while wandering...

What's more, the old lizardman tribe had been used to living a stable life in a civilized society.

Although this stable life is still a bit turbulent, and you have to exchange fire with the regular army from time to time, and dealing with local gangsters is not that simple and is more or less dangerous, but at least the overall environment is still a civilized society!

If the people of this tribe are allowed to go to the wilderness to find a suitable place to live again, the old lizard people have traveled on the mainland, but many young people may not be able to bear it~

After much consideration, he found that following the young lord in front of him was indeed his best choice!

But the opponent's strength is too weak!

His own strength is weak. Once a serious incident occurs, he may drag the surrounding subordinates into the water. For example, in the dwarf village, such as his own village, all the dwarf warriors and lizardman archers may be recruited to the front line.

The weaker Liu Yifei himself is, the more likely this situation will occur!

Therefore, for the sake of the clan's safety and for Liu Yifei to provide them with a more stable living environment, the old lizard man looked forward to his growth almost more than Liu Yifei himself~

Therefore, his expected goal is not only to establish trade relations with the underwater clan, but also to try to annex one of them depending on the situation!

But this is all a thing for another day. What they should do now is try to gain the trust of the fish people first.

"Get their trust? How to get it? Didn't you just say that the water tribe is very suspicious? Is it possible to get their trust?"

"It didn't say that we need complete trust, that's completely impossible! Let alone interracial, even among people of the same race, how many people dare to say that they completely trust another person? It's just a relative term~

My previous test was to see how long this murloc village could persist in the face of the temptation of profit.

And obviously the result of the test was that they couldn't hold on for a moment...

For the time being, let's maintain the transaction with those regulations and let the murlocs taste the sweetness first.

Those guys are very stupid. When they find that the benefits are insufficient and want to obtain greater benefits, they will naturally take the initiative to contact you.

By the way, you can ask my daughter to assist the little lord of your territory and help him manage the territory. She can also stay there at ordinary times. Once the fishmen come to find you, even if you and your subordinates are not here, we

We can also get news in time." The old lizard man said leisurely.

"Ah? Your daughter?" Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this a bit bad? You, the patriarch, have settled here, won't she come with you?"

"Hey~ How can that be done? We are all serving you, Lord Lord! Naturally, your interests must be our top priority! Besides, my bones are old, and God knows how long I can live~

And my frame is too small for this kid.
