Chapter 88 Propose a Strategy

Chapter 88 Propose a Strategy

Luo Ning already had a certain understanding of the scale of the Purple Fruit Tribe during the previous conversation.

Although the population of this tribe is less than 300, it exceeded his expectations - including Jenny's family. The Purple Fruit Tribe has a total of 242 people and has reclaimed 806 acres of land.

In addition to growing some vegetables, most of the crops grown are barley and wheat.

The Ziguo tribe has such a large area of ​​farmland because it was reclaimed when the population was large. It is said that at its peak, four or five hundred people lived here.

Now, there are less than three hundred people left. Although the food production is not high, there is relatively more food to eat.

According to Jenny's estimation, this year's autumn harvest will yield more than 30,000 kilograms of barley. Combined with the wheat harvested previously and the stockpiled wild vegetables, the tribe's people should have no problem surviving this winter.

Before deciding to convert the wheat fields into mulberry fields, Luo Ning decided to wait until tomorrow morning to check out the condition of the mulberry forest.

Although he now has silk cocoons in his hands, it is still very difficult to make them into silk.

He knew the steps of boiling cocoons and reeling silk, but he had no spinning wheel or loom, so it was difficult for him to weave.

However, the territory has sheep flocks, which produce wool every year. Many women do some simple weaving work at home, and tools such as spindles and looms (although they are relatively simple) are also available.

Although these machines and tools cannot be used to weave silk, which is more delicate and complex, sometimes cognition is more important than tools.

As long as they can understand that silk can also be used to make cloth, I believe that after a long period of trying, they should be able to weave silk.

Luo Ning remembered that Tom's mother ran a tailor shop. She should be good at weaving. After returning, he could consider asking her to study silk.

Of course, Ronin will help.

He had a unique understanding of sericulture, and the method of boiling cocoons and reeling silk he proposed was a leap from zero to one.

That night, Roning enjoyed a "sumptuous" dinner at Jenny's home.

There was a plate of ginkgo nuts in front of Roning, McKen, and other extraordinary people. Their subordinates were eating them happily, but Roning just couldn't eat any.

It was mainly because of the preconceived notions that influenced him, making him feel that this thing was too strong in taste, so much so that he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the black pupa.

However, under Irene's eager gaze, Roning still took a bite reluctantly.

I didn't know until I tried it that the fried silkworm pupae had a crispy texture and were soft and fragrant.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Irene asked with a smile.

Luo Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Apart from its appearance, fried silkworm pupae are indeed a delicacy. I heard that it not only tastes good but also has high nutritional value."

The subordinates sitting around also nodded while eating. They had never eaten such food before, and this time, when they came to the Purple Fruit Tribe, they could say that they had tasted something new.

After eating and drinking, two servants cleaned up the dishes, and all the extraordinary people gathered in the living room.

The dim candlelight vaguely illuminated everyone's blurry faces. They knew that the Baron was about to formulate the next battle plan.

Less than two days had passed since they left Shanlin Town, and they had already captured two savage tribes. Their speed was very fast.

"Our next target is the Gray Earth Tribe."

Luo Ning looked at everyone and said, "But you also know that they have built fortifications, and they have more extraordinary people than the Purple Fruit and Green Bamboo tribes. If we attack by force, we will definitely not suffer any losses like we did yesterday and today."

His eyes finally fell on Jenny. "Ms. Jenny, I remember you said before that there was a way for me to take down the Gray Earth Tribe in a less time-consuming and labor-intensive way. What is that method?"

Irene, who is 1.42 meters tall, sat next to her mother and listened quietly to the conversation.

Her eyes kept moving among the crowd.

Before today, she would never have thought that so many older brothers and uncles, and even her parents, would respect this young man who seemed not much older than her. For the first time, she truly felt that sometimes status and position have little to do with age.

Finally, her gaze rested on Roning. This silver-haired boy was so attractive.

Jenny didn't know what her daughter was thinking at that moment. What she was thinking about was offering a strategy to her new master, which could be regarded as her token of loyalty.

"The leader of the Gray Earth Tribe is called 'Slain.' His father was just an ordinary person who fled together, but he awakened his fighting spirit seed, and his strength increased rapidly over the years. He is a 38-year-old senior knight, and his combat power is slightly stronger than Horn."

Roning couldn't help but look at Knight Horn. The other party was only a mid-level knight but only slightly weaker than a high-level knight. It seemed that Horn was either about to break through or his combat experience and skills were better than his opponent.

It seems that Horn and Jenny's talent for cultivation is not bad, and it is no wonder their daughter is so talented.

Jenny continued, "My Lord, you should know from Wharton and Dandy that our three tribes formed a tripartite alliance. When we were first formed, we fought against the Black Collar Tribe several times. At that time, the tripartite alliance had more exchanges."

She paused, looked at her husband, and then continued, "Slaine confessed his love to me more than once during our cooperation, asking me to leave Horn and live in his Gray Earth Tribe, but I rejected each time."

Luo Ning couldn't help but touch his nose. It turned out that sexual matters between men and women would happen everywhere, even among the savage tribes with poor living environments.

He couldn't help but look at Jenny again.

Although she thought the other person's appearance was 60%, it was not considered beautiful.

But if it is placed in the Wubei forest, it will definitely be ranked at the top.

And don't forget, Jenny is from a viscount family. Although the Frank family is now in decline, she comes from a real aristocratic family.

With her good looks, noble birth, and the fact that she is a mid-level magician, such a woman is very attractive to other people.

It does make perfect sense that Slaine, leader of the Grey Earth tribe, would want to be with Jenny.

The latter disagreed, perhaps because she and Horn had a very deep relationship and a daughter, or perhaps she simply looked down on people like Slaine.

Roning glanced at Horn, whose expression did not change. It was obvious that he knew about this matter. It was even possible that Horn had fought with Slaine.

After all, Jenny just said that Slaine is stronger.

How could such a result be achieved without any comparison or fight?

Turning his gaze back to Jenny, Roning asked with a smile, "So, you're going to use the honey trap on Slaine?"

Honey trap?

Everyone's ears moved. It was the first time they heard this word.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

Jenny was a little embarrassed. "Although this is the first time I've heard of 'honey trap,' your meaning should be similar to what I think."

For a moment, Luo Ning didn't understand why the other party suddenly felt embarrassed and thanked him.

After thinking about it, he realized that Jenny thought she was praising the other person's beauty.

"My Lord, Horn and Slaine have a very bad relationship."

Jenny continued, "Perhaps I can write a letter to Slaine saying that Horn has been promoted to a senior knight. He is dissatisfied with being inferior to me and with the humiliation he has suffered over the years. He seems to have changed completely and has imprisoned Irene and me crazily. I hope Slaine can send someone to rescue us."

Horn looked at his wife helplessly. How could such an honest and simple man who loved his wife and daughter become a pervert?

However, McKen couldn't help but be secretly shocked after hearing these words. It turned out that women's words should not be trusted easily, And this plan is too tricky and cruel.

Luo Ning nodded. He knew what the other party's plan was.

But he was still a little hesitant, "Will Slaine believe it?"

"Yes!"

Jenny was very sure, "Slayin has always regarded himself as the leader of the tripartite alliance. He is an arrogant, conceited, and stubborn person. The most important thing is that he not only covets me but also has his eyes on Irene."

Her eyes were a little cold, perhaps a natural result of feeling that her daughter's safety was threatened.

"After receiving my letter for help, he will be able to kill Horn, annex the Purple Fruit Tribe, and bring us mother and daughter under his command. He will definitely not be able to resist."

Luo Ning frowned and looked at Irene, who was shrinking in her mother's arms. He didn't expect that there was such a story behind this.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Jenny and his wife surrendered to me so straightforwardly was partly because of their consideration for Irene's safety.

However, no matter what their reasons and purposes were for surrendering to me, Roning fully approved of their strategy.

"Can!"

Luo Ning affirmed, "We can give it a try according to the strategy you mentioned."
