My Life As A Lord In Another World Was Livestreamed - Chapter 31

Another tauren asked, “John, how did you get this food? Did you do something bad?”

Although the taurens had a large appetite, they had their limits. During the great famine, goblins and kobolds would resort to eating beastmen, but the taurens would not.

Neither of them had ever seen a drumstick because many tribes in the Beastmen Kingdom did not raise chickens.

John replied, “Chicken drumstick! I didn’t do anything wrong. I’ll explain everything to you later.”

“Chicken drumstick? Is it one of those animals that the royal family raises? Let me have a taste!”

As the tauren spoke, he stuffed the chicken drumstick into his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened, and in the next second, he swallowed the chicken drumstick whole.

“It’s so fragrant, John. Is there any more?”

John gave another tauren a drumstick while saying, “No, one for each person.”

The other taurens ate the drumstick as well, and all of them were affected by the fragrance.

A young tauren ate it and wanted more. “Uncle John, I want more.”

John gave him another drumstick, and the other taurens looked very envious.

“John, where did you get this? Did you go to the imperial city?”

“The Beast King doesn’t have time to care about us now.”

“Alright, quiet down. Listen to John.”

Amidst the clamor, the tribal chief, who was also John’s uncle, spoke up. There were not many taurens in the tribe so every tauren was related to each other.

John said, “Are you guys aware that the locusts are coming soon?”

“Yes, everyone is thinking of a way.”

“There is no good solution. At least half of us will starve to death.”

“There are also the goblins. They are too cunning. They might already be eyeing on us.”

At the mention of the locust plague, the taurens were all very distressed.

John suddenly took out another drumstick and raised it high. The taurens instantly stared at the drumstick and swallowed their saliva.

John said, “I met a very good master. During this period of time, I can eat one hundred of these drumsticks every day.”

“Wow!” Hearing his words, the other taurens exclaimed.

John said, “My master’s tribe is short of workers. As long as you help him carry stones and chase the enemies away, you can also eat one hundred drumsticks every day.”

“Really?”

“John, who is your master? Are you a slave now?”

“John, I want to go! I want to go!”

The taurens were all very excited! They only needed to move stones and beat up enemies in exchange for one hundred drumsticks. It was a great deal for them!

However, this effect was precisely because the person who came was John. John was also a tauren and he would not lie to the others. The taurens trusted him. If it were Lin Tian, they might not have believed him so easily.

Many of the taurens were tempted. Compared to starving to death in the plague of locusts, it was undoubtedly a good thing to work in exchange for delicious drumsticks. They did not even dare to dream of such a good thing. However, some of the taurens still had some misgivings.

Therefore, John told them about what he had experienced during this period of time. After hearing that he had been captured by the goblins, the taurens were very angry. Hearing that he had been sold to Lin Tian, and that Lin Tian had let him eat his fill, the taurens began to swallow their saliva. As they learned that he only needed to move stones every day to eat and sleep to his content, the tauren were all tempted.

Three hours after John returned to the tribe, all the taurens packed up their belongings and prepared to set off! Of course, they were able to move so quickly, not only because they had fewer people, but also because they did not have any possessions.

At the same time, the fox-eared lady, Wendy’s tribe had also set off. Unlike the taurens, Wendy’s tribe had no other choices. If they did not want to starve to death, going to Lin Tian’s tribe was their only choice!

The next day, in the town square, more than 50 people stood tall and straight as they listened to Lin Tian’s lecture.

“There was a saying in the past, ‘one inch long means one inch strong.’ This is the advantage of a spear.”

Every few days, Lin Tian would call his troops over to give them a lecture. He found this necessary because it would strengthen his control over the army and establish his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. Coincidentally, the tauren and fox tribe had not arrived yet, so Lin Tian had enough time.

To the right of these people, there was a long spear. They were the long spear team that Lin Tian had formed. To deal with the fast horse bandits, a long spear was necessary. Apart from a long spear, each person also had a light shield and a dagger.

After his recent withdrawal, Lin Tian now had enough money and began perfecting all the soldiers’ weapons. Military power was an important guarantee for development.

The spearhead they used was made of patterned steel, and the body of the spear was made of rosewood. Under Lin Tian’s request, the shop extended the length of the spear to two meters. This kind of spear was very sharp. Although it was made of wood, it could not be easily broken. Each spear cost about a thousand yuan.

After Lin Tian finished explaining the key to using the spear, he let the fifty spearmen start training. Then, he looked at the dozens of other soldiers who were holding swords and shields. They were the authentic sword-shield soldiers.

These dozens of soldiers were the first batch of soldiers. After more than a month of training, their physical strength had greatly increased. Moreover, they practiced sword and shield techniques every day and were already very familiar with them.

The threshold to be a spearman was relatively low, and the method of using the spear was relatively simple. As long as a large number of spearmen stood in a row and formed a forest of spears, pushing forward, they would already form a very strong offensive power.

In Lin Tian’s previous world, the forest of spears was the core of the ancient Macedonian phalanx in the west. Of course, the spear soldiers also had a weakness. They were afraid of archers, so Lin Tian gave them a light shield. Compared to the spear soldiers, the sword-shield soldiers needed to practice more combat techniques.

Lin Tian looked at the soldiers in front of him. “From now on, you will need to undergo another training, which is combat.”

Hearing Lin Tian’s words, all the soldiers became even more serious.

Lin Tian took out a few wooden swords and pointed at a few of the soldiers. He said, “The five of you, step forward.”

[The streamer is going to take on five people alone?]

[The streamer knows magic and archery. Yet, he even knows combat?]

[The streamer is awesome!]

“Attack me together.” Lin Tian handed the wooden swords to the soldiers.

[Wow!]

[The streamer is awesome!]

[I look forward to the streamer’s duel!]

The five soldiers looked at each other, and the last soldier stood out.

“Lord, sorry to offend you.”

He picked up the wooden sword and attacked Lin Tian. Lin Tian dodged to the side and avoided his attack. Then, he tapped the swords in his hands and knocked that soldier over. The other soldiers also attacked at the same time, but Lin Tian moved around and went to the side of one of the soldiers. He blocked the soldier’s attack with the swords and then used his shield to knock that soldier down.

After taking down two soldiers, Lin Tian continued to attack the third soldier. The three soldiers attacked Lin Tian in unison but his reaction speed was very fast. He used his shield to block and then dodged. At the same time, the wooden sword in his hand struck a soldier and knocked him down. Lin Tian dodged to the side of the other two soldiers and struck the soldier down again..
