I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Under Li De's order, Craig returned to the Dwarf Valley with countless supplies.

Rebuilding the Lion Tribe was the task given to him by the great crown prince.

Craig is well aware of the rules of survival in the barren wasteland. The original lion tribe relied on its strong strength to survive.

But after the last war, the Lion Tribe had lost its original vigor, and he had to find another way.

The task of rebuilding the Lion Tribe is not an easy one, but he will accomplish it no matter what the cost, absolutely.

On the third day after Craig returned to the barren wasteland, Li De returned to the Dwarf Valley again after handling the backlog of government affairs.

It was already mid-September, and he had to get the Dwarf Valley back on track.

Because once October enters, the orcs may not know when they will start to invade.

At that time, Dawn City did not have much energy to deal with the affairs of the Dwarf Valley.

He will not even use too much power to guard the mithril veins, because the new round of population plunder will be the most important task this winter, bar none.

Everything in Daybreak City is based on population.

Not to mention anything else, the power of faith he urgently needs must be solved by obtaining a large number of people. Otherwise, he can only guard a golden mountain without being able to dig it.

In one month, the Dwarf Valley has been greatly changed by the development of Dawn City.

The dwarf city that originally collapsed due to the war has been almost razed to the ground.

More than a dozen huge Cyclops overturned the ruins of these buildings and dug out huge mines, successfully digging out the mithril veins below.

The current Dwarf Valley is a pure construction site, with Cyclops acting as the absolute main force here, accompanied by more than two hundred human miners and dozens of vampires working in the middle.

The exposed gray boulders, yellow mud, and huge footprints are no different from the construction site. The only difference is that there is no modern machinery here.

There are almost no traces of the dwarf city in the Dwarf Valley. Only the beams and building remains faintly revealed among the rubble indicate that civilization once existed here.

The city that the dwarves were reluctant to demolish was taken over by the Cyclops.

"Your Majesty the First Ancestor," Stanley, who was wearing a black priest's robe, immediately stepped forward to say hello when he saw Li De standing on the grass outside the construction site and watching.

After the dwarves and orcs were arranged, Stanley returned to the Dwarf Valley to take charge of the overall situation.

Because of the threat that orcs and dwarves may attack at any time, there must be a senior figure with enough weight and wisdom to control the overall situation.

Stanley, a subordinate with outstanding intelligence and strength, whom Li De admired very much, was undoubtedly a great candidate.

"How is the development of the mithril veins going now??"

Li De was wearing a dark blue mage robe and stood in the open space next to the valley. He looked curiously at the long line of mining teams pushing wooden bucket trucks, like ants, transporting soil and gravel out in an orderly manner.

Stanley's expression suddenly showed shame, and his tone became a little lower.

"Your Majesty, the difficulty of mining the mithril veins is beyond our imagination. So far, the ore produced every day is less than 10 tons, and we have only refined 3 pounds of mithril..."

Li De turned his head in surprise, 3 pounds of mithril? The weight of one pound is not much different from that of the earth.

In the past month, with such strong support from Dawn City, only 3 pounds of mithril have been extracted? ?

Although mithril is extremely precious and rare, it is not proportional to the investment.

It would be more like 30 pounds.

"Did you encounter any problems?"

"Our number is too small...and the texture of the mithril veins is extremely hard. Ordinary human miners cannot dig the ore at all, and can only rely on the powerful Cyclops to mine.

Moreover, the veins are buried deep underground, and a large amount of soil and gravel need to be cleared to dig them out.

Now ordinary human miners can only do the work of cleaning soil and gravel, and only the Cyclops is actually mining.

And because the developed mine is too small, it can only accommodate two Cyclops at present. "

Hearing this, Li De had a dark look on his face. He had never guessed that the reason for the impact on efficiency was that the ore was too hard to dig...

I xx you oo... It is true that life is the master of drama.

The reason for this unfortunate incident made his eyelids jump.

“Have you thought of a solution??”

Stanley's face became even more embarrassed.

"Unless a large number of professionals are mobilized, at least level 5 or above warriors are required to mine. Otherwise, even if all Cyclops can mine, it will be difficult to increase efficiency."

Li De shook his head.

Now Dawn City does not lack high-end combat capabilities. He even has a level 18 bone dragon, so he is not timid at all when it comes to fighting.

But now the foundation of Dawn City is extremely weak, and the normal development of a force should be the pyramid model.

The lower levels are much more numerous than the upper levels.

But because it has developed too fast, the current low-level combat effectiveness of the City of Dawn is actually very small. Only a few hundred vampires and the 600 human troops of the newly formed King's Blade can be considered low-level combat effectiveness.

But these low-level powers are extremely inconsistent with the high-end power he possesses.

He was not afraid of having Li De engage in a high-end power showdown with his enemy, but when it came to something like this that required a lot of knowledge, he was in pain.

Where can he get hundreds of level 5 and above professionals to mine here?

There is a dark covenant, but it is impossible for him to let these uncontrollable forces come to the mithril veins, and unless these underground forces are crazy, how can they go mining.

Just as Li De was about to speak, he slapped his head and shook his head in amusement. What was he doing in the Dwarf Valley?

Supervise the progress of the mithril veins, and ask Craig to rebuild the Lion Tribe.

Aren't the orcs of the Lion Tribe just ready-made miners? He originally planned to let the orcs mine... he almost forgot about the real thing.

These tall orcs with two blades and immense strength are definitely the best miners.

The Dwarf Valley is in a barren wasteland. There is not much here except orcs.

After finding the key point of the problem, Li De relaxed and waved his hands indifferently.

"Stanley, prepare to arrange for the humans to withdraw, leaving only the Cyclops here.

For mining ores, we can use orcs. "

"Orc?" Stanley was stunned.

"You mean to directly enslave the orcs?"

"Slavery? No, I am not interested in enslaving the orcs. What I want is... to rebuild the Lion Tribe!"

Li De's tone was a bit playful, "Have you met Craig?"

Stanley nodded, "Of course, when Dylan delivered a large amount of supplies three days ago, he also brought Craig and hundreds of orcs.

At that time, the Cyclops almost had a conflict with his orcs. "

After finishing speaking, he frowned slightly.

"However, he did not stop in the Dwarf Valley. After getting off the magic bat, he led hundreds of orcs out of the valley, and his destination is unknown.

Because of the information you sent me, I didn't pry too much. "

Although he was once an enemy, he didn't pay much attention to it after Li De spread the news that this level 16 werewolf was now one of his own.

And judging from Craig's actions, the other party was obviously on a mission, and Stanley did not dare to inquire about Li De's orders.

“Well, I arranged it for Craig.

I will rebuild the Lion Tribe and let the orcs become the masters of the Dwarf Valley again.

Then we won't need to invest too much energy here, the orcs will work for us. "

"Your Majesty, there is only one tribe controlled by orcs, Craig. I'm afraid it won't be too big." Stanley shook his head. "Craig's strength is not enough to support a large tribe."

Although Stanley didn't look down on this level 16 werewolf who was instantly defeated, he didn't have too many expectations.

If the opponent was Garp, the orc king, he wouldn't say a word. The level 18 Garp's combat power impressed him deeply, but Craig was far behind. The two were not on the same level at all.

Li De's expression was a little playful, "Of course it's not just Craig, at most half a year, the king of the Lion Tribe, Garp, will also arrive."

Stanley's expression relaxed and he was immediately relieved.

"In this way, there will be no problem in the reconstruction of the Lion Tribe."

Li De's eyes were deep.

"The Dwarf Valley will be our nail in the barren wasteland from now on, and the Lion Tribe will also become a sharp blade in the hands of the City of Dawn."

The orcs will not cause any harm to the City of Dawn in the short term, but Li De always likes to take the initiative in his own hands.

The distant mountains are not far from the Human Empire and the Orc Empire. In the Human Empire, he already has the Scarlet Mage Tower and the Dark Pact. On the contrary, the Orcs, who are not weak in strength, do not have any tentacles of power, which is not in line with his character.

The layout is always with the distant future in mind...

————

In the barren wasteland, Craig looked at the small tribe with no more than a hundred people in simple tents hundreds of blades away, with a very indifferent expression.

"Brown, lead people to surround them. This tribe now belongs to the Lion Tribe!"

Behind him, a werewolf warrior with a huge wolf head stood up and nodded with a cruel expression.

"Yes, Lord Craig,"

After saying that, 120 orc warriors behind him wearing complete sets of armor, each set of armor being of rare grade, came out with their heads held high, the long knives in their hands flashing with cold light.

The battle started so suddenly.

Faced with the siege of a pack of vicious wolves, this small tribe of hundreds of people fell in just ten minutes.

By the time Craig left, the team behind him had grown to 200 people.

In the barren wasteland, strength has always been the guarantee of survival.

Without power, they are all lambs.

Five days later, that is, the two days when Li De came to the Dwarf Valley.

Craig returned to the Dwarf Valley.

At the same time, there were more than 600 orcs following him.

This is what this level 16 werewolf warrior has gained these days.

Craig's expansion is full of unique traces of orcs, savage and rough, primitive and direct.

When Li De saw Craig, especially when he looked at the hundreds of orcs behind him, his expression was very exciting.

In just a few days, hundreds of orcs have been brought back, and these orcs are all level 4 to 8 warriors. They have a fierce and ruthless aura. Every one of them is obviously an orc soldier who has experienced bloody battles.

The animal skin clothes on these orcs can't cover the scars on their bodies. The muscles make the rough clothes bulge high, and their clothes look primitive and ancient.

"Craig, are these subordinates you have gone out to collect these days??"

Seeing the surprise on Li De's face, Craig looked a little proud, "Your Majesty, these are the tribes I conquered.

Now, they all belong to the Lion Tribe! ! "

Then Craig told how he led troops to conquer other orc tribes in the past few days, and finally quickly expanded to the current scale.

After hearing Craig's excited words, Li Defei did not praise him but remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Craig, who seemed to think this was a normal operation, felt an inexplicable headache.

Although he knows that orcs are upright or have no brains.

But he didn't expect...the other party was more exaggerated than he thought.

He actually led troops to attack the door, killing those who resisted, and gathering those who surrendered...mmp, is this rebuilding the tribe? Isn't this going to confiscate the family and slaughter the clan?

Stanley next to him had a strange expression when he saw this scene.

I was deeply moved in my heart. As expected of an orc, the development of power could be so barbaric and they didn't take it seriously.

This kind of thing would only happen in the barren wasteland.

"Craig, there are many ways to recruit people..."

Li De looked at himself, a level 16 temple warrior, and felt that for the first time he had a headache trying to reason with his subordinates.

"If you do this, not only is it inefficient, but it can also easily make your subordinates resentful, which is not conducive to the formation of the tribe."

Craig looked at Li De with some confusion, "Your Majesty, the barren wasteland has always annexed tribes... Whoever is more powerful will have the most tribesmen and the broadest land.

It was only because of the absolute power of Chief Garp that the Lion Tribe grew to the size of tens of thousands of troops..."

Li De suddenly didn't know how to speak. Although he looked down upon this primitive and barbaric way, it was the survival mode of the barren wasteland.

He couldn't deny right or wrong. After all, the poor living environment created the rule of survival of the fittest, and only powerful leaders were more capable of leading the people of the tribe to survive.

But now that he's here, he won't let Craig continue to do such stupid, crude and nutritious things.

"No, Craig, we still have many ways." Li De looked at Craig's puzzled eyes and said slowly, "What is the most lacking in the barren wasteland? What do the orcs want most?"

Craig's eyes lit up, "What we lack most is food, and what we want most is food and armor!"

Li De nodded. Fortunately, this guy is not stupid.

"That's right. Is food particularly scarce this year??"

"Yes, if it weren't for the extreme shortage of food this year, Chief Garp would not have easily ordered an attack on the dwarf tribe."

Craig nodded. The huge wolf head looked a little naive for no reason at this time.

"Now that you have 2,000 sets of armor and weapons, and food for 5,000 people for half a year, what can you do?"

"Your Majesty... I..." Craig was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li De in confusion.

Of course there is food to store, and there are weapons and armor to equip his people, but he felt that his idea was not what Li De wanted, so he stammered for a long time and did not dare to speak.

Li De shook his head dumbfounded when he saw this scene, and opened his mouth to explain without any further excuses.

"You can select a group of smarter subordinates and let them spread the news to the surrounding tribes. The Lion is recruiting tribesmen...

As long as they pass the test of the Lion Tribe, the entire tribe can be merged into the Lion Tribe, and each warrior can receive a set of armor...

The Lion Tribe has enough food to survive this winter. As long as the orcs join the Lion Tribe, their food supply will be guaranteed this winter, and no one will starve to death again.

Moreover, our Lion Tribe only recruits 5,000 orcs, and now it has recruited 2,000 people. If it is full, it will no longer recruit this year. "

Compared with the primitive and crude method of threatening force, Li De prefers to adopt efficient methods.

How much time will it take to call them one by one? How much strength will I lose? Not a good deal.

And after this news is released, if some orcs hear the news and prepare to launch a war to plunder food, that will be more to his taste.

The Level 18 Bone Dragon, the Level 16 Bronze Cyclops Corso, and the Level 15 Dawn Bat King Castro. These three terrifying behemoths are now in the Dwarf Valley.

At that time, you can directly experience the way the orcs expand their power.

As long as a powerful orc king like Garp doesn't appear, Li De won't care at all.

According to Craig's information, hundreds of kilometers around the Dwarf Valley are the territory of the Lion Tribe, and there are no other large tribes here.

So he has nothing to worry about.

Craig had already reported to him about the lack of food this year. Even a powerful force like the Lion Tribe lacked food. You can imagine how those small tribes were living.

I'm afraid most of the orcs are feeling desperate for the upcoming winter moon.

After all, not every orc can go to the human border to plunder food when the winter moon comes. More orcs still rely on their usual reserves to survive the cold winter.

At this time, when these orcs are facing despair, a powerful tribe that can provide food and give them armor is willing to accept them. Will these small tribes be tempted? ?

There are at least more than 200,000 orcs living in this land of hundreds of miles close to the Dwarf Valley, and it is enough for a small number of them to take refuge.

Li De doesn't need more, just a few thousand people to restart the Dwarf Valley.

After hearing Li De's words, Craig's mind turned around and he nodded with surprise, "Your Majesty, your wisdom is comparable to that of the God of Creation!!"

That wolf head made Li De feel a little happy for no reason at this time, it looked like... Erha? ? ?

Although this level 16 werewolf has a straightforward personality, he is not stupid. It’s just that the rules of conduct in the barren wasteland made it almost impossible for him to think of this method.

Here, fists are the only way to communicate.

“Let’s arrange people to do it. In addition, we must highlight the small number of people we want to recruit, and we will be recruiting them soon, highlighting the sense of urgency.

besides......"

Li De patiently taught Craig how to spread news. Finally, the werewolf happily summoned his subordinates and explained what Li De had taught him.

Then hundreds of orcs left the Dwarf Valley with Craig's mission.

Li De looked at the orcs resting on the grass and noticed very keenly that it seemed that among these orcs there were not the group of orcs brought from the City of Dawn.

Because when these orcs saw him, there was no fear in their eyes.

He didn't believe that the captured orcs didn't see him driving the bone dragon to gallop on the battlefield.

After asking Craig about this doubt, the werewolf's words made Li De look at him deeply.

"Your Majesty. Because the orcs I brought out knew about the City of Dawn, I was afraid that the other party would leak the news, so I sent them to the front in every battle. In the past few days, they have all gone to see the God of Death."

Craig's tone was very calm, as if he was saying something normal.

Li De couldn't help but nodded slightly. He was indeed a temple warrior who was absolutely loyal to him and acted in his interests.

In fact, he didn't care. Those orcs were brought in and out with hoods on their heads, so it was impossible to know the location of the City of Dawn.

The distant mountains stretch for nearly 100,000 miles, spanning several empires. If you want to find the City of Dawn in such a huge mountain range without any clues, you will probably be dreaming for decades.

There won't be that idiotic force doing such a thankless thing.

After arranging this matter, Li De felt much happier.

"Your Majesty, all the human miners have been transferred back to the City of Dawn, and now only the Cyclops is left.

Do we need to keep them here? ? "

Li De shook his head. The huge size of the Cyclops has many advantages in production that humans cannot match. It is also an important production tool in the City of Dawn. It is undoubtedly a waste to keep it in the Dwarf Valley.

Especially if he plans to build running water in Dawn City.

"Leave five of them and take the rest of the Cyclops back with you.

In addition, Harrison was notified to bring some dwarves who are good at mining from the construction department to teach how to mine mithril veins.

Our current efficiency is too low. "

The current mining speed is simply appalling. Li De predicts that if mining continues at this speed, let alone all the people wearing mithril-forged equipment.

Even the top combat power above level 15 in my hand cannot wear mithril equipment.

Especially the big guys like Corso, Castro and Bone Dragon. If you want to forge weapons for them, you will need a huge amount of mithril.

Professional things still have to be taught to professionals. Dwarves have never been trusted before, so the dwarves were completely excluded from the mining of mineral veins.

Although the dwarves are still not fully integrated into the City of Dawn, at least they no longer think about rebellion every day. It is time for them to contribute to the City of Dawn.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go down"

Li De waved his hand casually.

——————

——————

In the following days, Li De has been supervising Craig's progress in reorganizing the Lion Tribe in the Dwarf Valley. This is his key project and he must see progress in a short time.

In addition, he will be offline for a few hours every day to deal with Crimson Moon matters.

Crimson Moon is now in the running-in period, and there are still many things to solve.

But fortunately, because of his high salary and Zhao Yue's hard work, not many of the original management team left.

Therefore, the club he just acquired is generally stable, which saves him a lot of trouble.

After most of Crimson Moon's employees experienced "Glory", their original resistance to this game that had not yet been released into public beta immediately turned into yearning for it.

The original criticism of Li De disappeared immediately. No one can escape the law of true fragrance.

Even the players of the two games that have not been laid off can't help but be excited. It would be false to say that they are not excited in the face of this epoch-making virtual game.

No one understands the opportunities better than those who are professional players.

On the contrary, these players are envious of those players who are preparing for "Glory"...

At the same time, with Li De's promotion, Zhao Yue, the assistant to the president, also successfully ascended to the position of vice president, truly stepping into the upper echelons of the company.

Li De thought deeply and then gave her a crazy task.

He needs Zhao Yue to recruit no less than 500 professional players from e-sports schools before the server of "Glory" is launched.

And every professional player needs to sign a contract with Crimson Moon for at least ten years.

In addition, the data analysis department has expanded from more than 100 people now to 300 people, and an additional RMB 10 million has been invested to accelerate the establishment of a data analysis center.

After several heavyweight orders, Zhao Yue immediately saw Li De's determination.

Glory will be where Crimson Moon shines.

Li De didn't explain too much, he just told the other party to complete the task.

At the same time, he also asked Zhao Yue to pay extra attention to whether there are managers who have established large-scale guilds who want to change jobs. If there are, they can spend a lot of money to recruit them.

Zhao Yue naturally agreed unconditionally.

From Li De's series of operations, this mature plump mature woman understood that her boss really wanted to make a big move.

She is also happy to watch this club that has spent ten years of youth truly becoming one of the top ten clubs in China.

He worked harder for this, which made Li De feel a lot more relaxed.

After the tenth day in the Dwarf Valley, it was late September and only a few days away from October.

Li De met an old acquaintance.

Valen Wildhammer.

This dwarf who was captured by the vampires gained most of his freedom because he forged perfect armor for Corso and Castro. During this time, he lived very comfortably in the City of Dawn.

At least Li De thinks so.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Even Valen has to admit that the City of Dawn, a city ruled by vampires, is really the city where he has lived the most comfortably in three hundred years.

The city here is clean and tidy, without any mess or mess.

There are no people urinating or littering on the streets, and there is never a disgusting stench in the sewers.

After dark, there are no underground forces extorting money on the streets, and you can still feel extremely safe in the city in the middle of the night, without the slightest worry about evil beings suddenly appearing in front of you.

Every resident here is kind and enthusiastic, and they never discriminate against dwarves. Even Valen has become friends with several neighbors because of the wine.

Basically every day after get off work, I get together with a few human friends to have a few drinks.

Varun fell in love with living in this city.

Here, he could feel that he was alive, truly alive, instead of a dwarf master who was working crazy for the tribe.

So when the city hall recruited people who knew how to mine mithril veins, Valen took the initiative to sign up.

This is also due to the fact that he likes to go to the square to sit in the shade and chat... In the process, he inevitably took many, many ideological education classes.

Every resident of Daybreak City should contribute to our common home.

Regardless of race, age, gender, or strength.

As long as you are a resident of Dawn City, you can contribute your own strength.

This sentence kept swirling in his mind. Valen didn't know why he became like this, but he did find a sense of belonging in this city.

This is a completely different sense of belonging than being in the Wildhammer tribe.

In the Wildhammer tribe, he has more responsibilities. He must work hard for the survival of all tribesmen.

But there is no need for it in the City of Dawn. He only needs to complete a certain amount of work every day, and then he can receive a generous salary, and he can happily enjoy wine and food with his friends every day.

He had never been so relaxed.

"Good day, Lord of Cachar City." Warren beat his chest and saluted Li De with a respectful expression.

The Dwarf forging event at this time was completely different from the uncompromising image of the Dwarves at the beginning.

Li De was keenly aware of Warren's changes and smiled slightly.

"Good day, Master Valen, I'm sorry to trouble you about the mining of mithril veins.

This will be the most important mine output in the City of Dawn in the future, and you are the only one in our City of Dawn who has the ability to design a more efficient mining method..."

Valen nodded, his expression showing the pride of a dwarf, "No problem, Lord Cachar, how many miners do I have available?"

Speaking of this question, Li De turned to look at the tent stationed in the valley.

He said calmly.

"Five thousand orcs..."

Five thousand orcs? ?

Warren was shocked and looked at Li De with some disbelief and disbelief, "You enslaved five thousand orcs??"

This is too generous.

At its peak, the entire dwarf tribe only numbered over a thousand, but now it is five times the strength of the dwarf tribe if taken casually.

Although he knew that Li De was very strong, every move he made gave him a particularly strong shock.

The 5,000 orcs benefited from Li De's plan going smoothly beyond imagination during this period.

Due to the lack of food and seeing the winter moon coming again, many orc tribes fell into unspeakable despair.

At this time, news came from the powerful lion that their tribe was preparing to recruit a group of tribesmen and could provide them with sufficient food for the winter. They even had strong armor and warm winter clothes...

This moved the hearts of many orc tribes who were not strong and were just struggling to survive.

It is much better to be protected by a strong man than to survive in a barren wasteland like a small tribe like your own.

In addition to the statement of the Lion Tribe, a large number of small tribes were immediately attracted to vote, ranging from hundreds to a dozen people.

But after a small amount of time, more than 5,000 orcs gathered in the Dwarf Valley in just ten days.

If Li De hadn't asked Craig to raise the bar at the last moment, the number of people would have been even higher.

And Craig, a level 16 werewolf warrior, also admired Li De's operation.

According to his idea, he must use the most direct way to conquer, but this efficiency is countless times worse than Li De's.

If you want to grow to 5,000 tribe members, it will take only two to three months.

Because the orcs who were forcibly collected can be managed at first, but it will be different when the number of people increases. Those orcs who are originally dissatisfied or resentful will become more and more difficult to manage.

There may even be rebellions, escapes, etc.

But now that the opponent has surrendered on his own, there is almost no need to worry about this phenomenon.

Plenty of food, strong armor, and warm winter clothes. This super-high-level treatment directly tied the hearts of the orcs.

Coupled with Craig's strength, all the orcs were convinced. All this made this newly rebuilt tribe truly become a tribe.

Although the rebuilt Lion Tribe is not as powerful as when Garp was there, it still has a certain strength.

"All but a thousand of these orcs will be under your command.

I have only one request. I must mine mithril ore as quickly as possible. The winter moon is coming soon, and our army needs stronger armor. "

Warren nodded seriously.

"As you wish, Lord Cachar, I will do my best!"

"This place is left to you and Stanley. I will leave 5 cyclops for you to use, and the others will be brought back to the City of Dawn.

In addition, you can report any difficulties at any time.

Before the Winter Moon comes, the mithril veins are the most important thing in the City of Dawn."

After speaking, Li De called Stanley and Craig, and formally handed over the construction of the Dwarf Valley to Wallen. Both of them followed Wallen's command in terms of mining veins and rebuilding the city.

As a blood descendant, Stanley and a temple warrior, Craig, their loyalty has penetrated into their souls and flowed in their blood, and they naturally obey Li De's orders absolutely.

After taking care of these trivial matters, Li De was ready to return to the City of Dawn.

At this time, the Blacksmith Shop and the Mage Tower joined forces for the first time and began to use rocks to build running water.
