Chapter 148 Forced to Stand in Line

Two months later, the Murloc Village had become a small town.

Before the battle with the Kolkar Centaur, the military value of the Ratchet Village was close to the critical point of upgrading.

After a great battle with the Kolkar Centaur, although the Ratchet Village lost a lot of fighting Murlocs, it also allowed the Ratchet Village to harvest a large number of long-handled weapons and longbows used by the Centaur, which greatly improved the equipment level of the Ratchet Village.

More importantly, those fighting Murlocs who survived the life-and-death trials gained a lot of combat experience, which greatly increased their levels. The natives are different from adventurers. The natives mainly rely on fighting to gain experience points to improve their levels and strength, while adventurers mainly rely on physical exercise and improving combat skills.

Therefore, shortly after the war, the Ratchet Village was upgraded to a small Murloc town.

Yang Yi woke up early in the morning in the Murloc Town. The first thing he did after waking up was to go to the inn to eat breakfast cooked by the chef's spoon.

On the way to the inn, Yang Yi passed by the west of Ratchet Village. The buildings that were burned down by the Kokar Centaur two months ago have all been rebuilt, and there is no sign that there was a big fire here.

The inn in Ratchet Village has been upgraded from a small village-level building to a medium-sized building at the town level. The inn is now a two-story structure with whitewashed walls on all four sides.

The inn now looks decent and no longer so shabby.

Yang Yi walked into the inn, and it was quite lively early in the morning.

Several adventurers who stayed in the inn last night have already started to eat breakfast, in addition to three tauren, two orcs and a human from the northern castle.

Chef Soup Spoon has been a level 2 chef for some time, and has also brought out two fishman level 1 chefs. Now he is busy making breakfast for the guests with the famous beach crab named Kaka on his head.

Yang Yi sat down, and without him saying anything, Soup Spoon soon brought a herbal baked egg and two slippery mackerels.

"Spoon, didn't you send one of your apprentices to help in the inn? Why do you have to cook these level 1 dishes yourself?" Yang Yi chatted casually with Spoon while eating breakfast.

"Although it's much easier with the help of my apprentice, Spoon still likes to cook by himself." Spoon said with a smile, cooking is his biggest hobby.

"It's up to you, as long as you like it." Yang Yi also smiled.

Yang Yi and Spoon were chatting casually, and the orcs at the table next to them were also talking about something.

"You said, when will the fight in Ashenvale end? There was a ceasefire a while ago, and this time I heard that the Alliance people are going to withdraw." An orc said weakly, his tongue a little knotted.

"Who, who knows how long the ceasefire will last this time." Another orc was originally holding an empty wine glass and lying on the table. After hearing his companion's words, he slowly raised his head, "You and I have fought so many times, anyway, the two of us can't go to the War Song Lumberyard to cut wood for the time being.

"Damn Alliance bastards! "

…

The two orc laborers have been drinking in the inn since last night. Yang Yi sat at the front desk and heard the conversation between the two orc laborers clearly.

The battle in Warsong Gulch has been going on for several months and has not ended yet. So far, the Alliance and the Horde have won and lost. It is said that the outposts of both sides have been captured by the other side several times, and then recaptured several times.

Now the Alliance and the Horde are in a stalemate. I wonder if they are preparing for the next big move.

Yang Yi has seen a lot of news about the battle between the Horde and the Alliance in Ashenvale from the forum and the mouths of the natives, but he has never paid much attention to it, because he does not intend to let the Thorntooth Murloc get involved in this muddy water.

"What's the fun of fighting all day long? This lord will continue to develop in Murloc Town. One day, the Murlocs in the town will be strong enough to scare away the enemy directly when they are released. That will be interesting. "

Yang Yi was only thinking about development, and he didn't want to get involved in the war in Warsong Gulch in Ashenvale.

After breakfast, Yang Yi passed the town center square again.

"Another night has passed, I wonder if the value of the town center has increased."

When Yang Yi saw the town center, he wanted to use the skill of Lord's Eye to check the information of Murloc Town. Now this has almost become a habit for him.

It seems that Yang Yi would not feel comfortable if he didn't take a look at the latest data.

[Murloc Town Center]

[Small Murloc Town]

[Civilization Level 4, Military Level 4]

[Civilization Value: 3701/10000, Military Value: 3733/10000]

...

"The civilization value increased by 1 point overnight, and the military value increased by 2 points. Not bad, the murlocs in Murloc Town are working so hard even at night. ”

Yang Yi was relieved. These two values ​​are mainly increased during the day, but now there is competition in all walks of life in Ratchet Village, and many murlocs are also working hard to improve themselves at night.

After looking at the attributes of the town center, Yang Yi looked at his own attributes.

[Name]: Murloc Lord

[Level]: Level 4 Murloc Lord, Level 4 Murloc Hunter/Level 4 Murloc Shore Walker/…, Level 3 Fisherman

[Ability]: Combat (Bow 40/40, Polearm 35/40…), Life (Fishing 25/30)

[Skills]: Eye of Murloc Lord, Dual Form

Level 1: Stealth, Murloc Net, Concussive Shot, Aiming Shot…

Level 2: Eagle Eye, Sonic Spear,…

Level 3: Flares, Freeze Traps, Shock Waves...

…

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my lord's attributes are very good now. Recently, I am afraid of biting off more than I can chew, so I focus mainly on the training of hunters and murloc beach walkers. Level 5 is a high-level combat profession, and with my attributes, Who else is my opponent below the senior level now?" Yang Yi thought proudly.

Although Yang Yi is bragging again, most aborigines below level 5 are indeed no match for him.

"However, it is said that some adventurers have already upgraded to level 5, and someone on the forum reported that the current number one adventurer has begun trying to reach level 6."

Every day on the forum, various rankings and comparisons of the top guilds and the strongest adventurers are indispensable. Yang Yi thought of the rumors he had seen about the person with the highest adventurer level, and felt that he was under a lot of pressure. As a fishman lord, his level is still stuck at the middle level, but there are already adventurers who have upgraded to high level, so we have to be vigilant.

"The ability of the bow has reached the upper limit of '40/40'. I just have to wait for the breakthrough to upgrade to a level 5 hunter. Upgrading from level 4 to level 5, but the difference between mid-level and high-level, this breakthrough is not easy. It's a pity that Bain is not here , otherwise we have to find him as a sparring partner, maybe we can break through.”

Yang Yi thought of Bain Bloodhoof. He stayed in Ratchet Village for several days not long ago. Yang Yi competed with him every day, which added a few points to his abilities.

If you want to improve your abilities, in addition to daily training and participating in battles, you can also compete with other aboriginals to practice.

Yang Yi found that his abilities improved very quickly when he hired Bain as a sparring partner.

After seeing his attributes, Yang Yi came back to his senses. He stretched out his hand and a drawing appeared in his hand.

[Architectural drawing: Attached Murloc Town Center]

[Building functions: Establish affiliated towns, formulate and implement town decisions, and achieve orderly governance of affiliated towns. 】

[System effects: Use the reputation of the main town to represent the authority of the subsidiary towns and attract foreign populations. 】

This blueprint appeared automatically when the Murloc Village was upgraded to Murloc Town. After getting this blueprint, Yang Yi did not immediately rush to build an affiliated village of Ratchet Town.

Where exactly this auxiliary village will be built and who will be responsible for managing it all need to be carefully considered.

Regarding the location of the affiliated village, Yang Yi first thought of the former Canyon Fishman Village.

However, there are no other valuable resources in the Canyon Murloc Village except the underground copper mines. If necessary, just send some people to build a mine. This blueprint is a bit wasteful to use in the Canyon Village.

Yang Yi was thinking about the problem of the affiliated village, when the deputy mayor, Lao Blind Eye, ran over.

Since the battle with the Kokar Centaur, Old Blind Eye has trained more and more diligently. He has just been upgraded to a level 4 Murloc Beachwalker.

"Lord, the tribal alliance is going to attack the Kokar Centaur in the Backwater Oasis again." The old blind man reported.

"Oh? The war in the Ashen Valley has just stopped. The tribe camp wants to take advantage of this time to do something in the barren land." Yang Yi was a little surprised when he heard the news, but it was reasonable after thinking about it.

Khan Virogo of the Kokar Centaur tribe in the Backwater Oasis was seriously injured last time in the attack between the fish and the tauren, but he was lucky enough to escape.

Virogo has been cultivating in the centaur camp in the backwater oasis for a long time, but recently, Virogo has taken his centaur tribe out for activities.

After experiencing the fiasco in the Murloc Village and escaping from death, Verogo still did not change his fanatical style, and the centaurs in the backwater oasis began to plunder even more crazily.

The centaur race on the continent of Kalimdor is raging like a violent wind. This scene has never stopped since ancient times. Both travelers and settlements are always under the threat of centaurs.

Yang Yi thought to himself that these Kokar centaurs were not easy to deal with, and it would be best for the tribesmen to eliminate them.

The tribe was finally about to take action against the Kokar centaurs in the backwater oasis. Yang Yi's first thought was to ignore the matter.

However, things were far from as beautiful as Yang Yi imagined.

Half a day later, several orc wolf cavalry galloped from the west avenue outside Ratchet Village.

Yang Yi was notified and went to the west gate of the village. He found that these orcs and wolf cavalry were all equipped with ferocious armors. Each of them was full of killing aura. He knew at a glance that they were elite warriors.

This was the first time that Yang Yi, the leader of the orcs, met him. This green-skinned orc was as tall and fierce as all the orc warriors Yang Yi had seen before, but his eyes showed a calmness that was rare in orc warriors.

Yang Yi took a rough look with his lord's eyes.

This orc's name is Nazgrin, and he is a level 4 warrior. There is nothing special about him.

"Mayor of Ratchet Murloc Town, I am Corporal Nazgrin. The tribal alliance is about to start a war with the Kokar Centaur in the Backwater Oasis. We hope you can cooperate." The green-skinned orc Nazgrin spoke in a thick voice. Yang Yi said.

Orcs usually have straight guts, and Nazgrin didn't go around in circles. He said what he meant in the first sentence he spoke.

"The tribal coalition wants us, the Ratchet fishmen, to cooperate?" Yang Yi was confused, why would the tribal coalition suddenly want the Ratchet fishmen to cooperate with them.

"Yes, I hope Ratchet Fishman will cooperate." Nazgrin nodded and reiterated.

"How do we need to cooperate?" Yang Yi asked.

"The tribal coalition will launch a fierce attack on the Centaur tribe in the Backwater Oasis. I hope you can send fishmen warriors to guard the east side of the Backwater Oasis." Nazgorin said.

Yang Yi remained silent after hearing this. He did not immediately agree to the orcs, but began to think about the key.

The east of Deadwater Oasis is the direction of Thunder Peak and Ratchet Town. If the Kokar Centaur of Deadwater Oasis wants to break through, this direction is not a good choice. After all, there is a vast ocean to the east, and a flat land to the west. What's more, the most powerful Centaur tribe in the Barren Land is in the Sweetwater Oasis to the west of Deadwater Oasis.

"The Tribal Alliance may not be impressed by the strength of the murlocs in Ratchet Town. This time, the Tribal Alliance specially sent the Orc Wolf Riders to Ratchet Town, which should have a deeper meaning."

If the murlocs in Ratchet Town participated in the Tribal Alliance's attack on the Kokar Centaur, it would show the attitude of Ratchet Town to the outside world, indicating that Ratchet Town is on the side of the Tribal camp. If the murlocs in Ratchet Town are unwilling to cooperate with the tribal coalition, they will probably be blacklisted by the tribal camp immediately. In the eyes of the tribal camp, the murlocs in Ratchet Town will probably be like the Kokar centaurs, boarmen and harpies in the barren land. If they are not careful, they may be listed in the bounty notice at the crossroads.

"When the time comes, will the crossroads use the murloc's eyeballs or the murloc's dorsal fins as the bounty certificate?" Yang Yi's thoughts suddenly went astray, and he thought of something that made his dorsal fins cold.

"Oh my god, now is not the time to think about this kind of thing. These orc wolf riders are here to let the murlocs choose their side!"

Yang Yi quickly sorted out the key point. The tribal coalition did not value the strength of the murlocs in Ratchet Town, but wanted to use this opportunity to let Ratchet Town express its position.

At the beginning, the murlocs only built a small murloc village in Ratchet Bay, and the tribal camp saw it but did not take it seriously. But after driving away the invading Kokar centaurs twice in a row, the murlocs have now really entered the sight of the tribal camp.

The people in the tribe camp were not stupid. They would not allow a force that did not make any statement and was not under control to grow in the barren land, even if it was a force of the fishmen that was recognized as weak and low.

"Okay, we, the thorny fishmen, will guard the east side of the Dead Water Oasis." Yang Yi raised his head and said solemnly to the orc Nazgrim.

"Very good, we will fight side by side!" The orc Nazgrim knocked his chest with his fist and said loudly.

Nazgrim's expression was always calm and almost stiff, but he actually had a good impression of the thorny fishmen.

After all, he had long learned from the orc Mankrik that it was with the help of the thorny fishmen that the orc general Sok and other trapped orc warriors were rescued from the burrows of the wild boars last time. The potion that cured the orc warriors infected with the withering plague was also provided by these fishmen.

"Fight side by side!" Yang Yi also clenched his fist and knocked hard on the fishman's chest.

Nazgrim did not leave immediately after receiving Yang Yi's reply. He waited outside Ratchet Town with the Orc Wolf Riders.

Yang Yi asked Old Blind Eye to go and organize the fighting murlocs in the village.

The population in Ratchet Town is growing rapidly. Ratchet Bay has now become the murloc activity area of ​​Ratchet Town. The murloc seedlings that grow naturally in the bay have been effectively protected. The grown-up murlocs have also joined Ratchet Town. In addition, the number of murlocs cultivated in the town's murloc nursery pool has also continued to increase. As a result, the number of murlocs added to Ratchet Town every month is very considerable.

At present, there are more than 7,000 murlocs in the town, of which more than 2,000 are adult murlocs.

Although the murlocs are not as truly all-army as the lobster people, they are also a brutal and aggressive race. In addition, Ratchet Town has many buildings with special system effects, so the proportion of fighting murlocs in the village has always been high.

This is thanks to the many shellfish farms and algae farms built in Ratchet Town. These farms do not require too much manpower, which can feed so many fighting murlocs.

During this period, many training buildings in the town have been upgraded, the effect of the buildings has been greatly enhanced, the success rate of training murlocs has been greatly improved, and the number of combat murlocs in the village has reached one thousand. Among these one thousand combat murlocs, more than three hundred are combat professionals. The ratio of nearly more than 30% of combat professionals is unimaginable for the murlocs.

Yang Yi stood in the square, and the combat murlocs who went out to fight quickly gathered in the square in the center of the town. Most of them were patrol murlocs, and there were also many murloc beach walkers and murloc tide walkers.

Yang Yi was thinking about a serious question: "What should Ratchet Town do in the future? Join the tribe or join the alliance? Or join neither side?"

This is an important question, a major issue related to the future survival of Ratchet Town. .
