Chapter 797: The cloud of war

When Henry's investigation of the ghost city spies was in trouble, the orcs of Wywood City in the north finally ended a whole winter rest and once again sent a large number of troops to advance into the depths of the highest wasteland. Fugner has not forgotten that he had to face Henry. He promised that he would transport enough slaves before May, so he didn't hesitate to start operations as soon as the weather turned warmer.

Of course, it was not just the orcs who participated in the slave hunting, a large number of human adventurers and mercenaries also joined them. Last winter, they saw that this unprofitable business is profitable, and it can be legalized as long as a portion of the tax is paid. Is there anything more exciting than this in the world?

Perhaps ogres, trolls, giants, and bear goblins are relatively difficult monsters for most ordinary humans, but ordinary goblins and kobolds are not a threat. Any adult can put two at once. Three, so this mighty slave hunting team is full of enthusiasm, full of thoughts of getting rich overnight.

No way, the orcs' profits in the slave trade are too generous, especially mines, quarries, and caravans all prefer coolies that don’t need to be paid. Although they need to spend a lot of money at once, they will spend a lot of money in the next step. In a few years, as long as the slave did not die, he could earn it back several times, dozens of times, and because the slave was not protected by the law, it didn't matter if it was crushed to death.

Especially the kobolds who are good at mining, they are simply the favorite of all mine owners. As long as they are **** with iron chains and then a few overseers holding whips are sent, the efficiency is completely twice that of human workers, plus The appetite is small, and there is no need to pay for it, and it will be sold out almost as soon as it appears in the market.

Looking at the mighty troops. Fugna Chunfeng whispered to Allen next to him: "His Royal Highness. Have you seen it? This is the Northland. Except for a few famous big cities, ordinary people don't care about laws and morals. They have been struggling for a long time. The environment has become more brutal and dangerous, and even willing to sell his soul to the devil for profit. Our Majesty has seen through this point and formulated the unique development direction of Wood City. At the same time, he can expand to the north, and maybe even over. In a few years, the periphery of the High Wasteland will become the second largest granary in the kingdom."

After listening to the orc viscount’s explanation, Alan nodded thoughtfully: “That’s it, the people here admire the law of the jungle. But don’t they worry about losing their lives? Capture slaves in the dangerous wild. It’s not an easy job. Even the warriors you accept may have some casualties, not to mention these undisciplined adventurers and mercenaries. In addition, you'd better not call me the crown prince anymore, now my identity is just one A consultant sent by the Mage Tower."

He has been in the wild city in the north for two months. He claimed to be the chief apprentice of the Mage Tower. In order to prevent being recognized, he slightly changed his hair color and face shape. Only Fugna and Sha La Blyman knew the true identity of this young boy.

During this time, he did not rush to the wild to take risks, but stayed quietly in the mage tower to study and research. The rest of the time is wandering around the city to learn about the behavior and thinking of local residents.

Allen's composure, steady and terrifying intelligence beyond ordinary people. Not only did Sarah Brightman surprise, but even Fugner couldn't help sighing that there really is a kind of son for any father, so I invited him while hunting, hoping to meet each other. Relationship between.

After all, as an orc, Fugner knew that he could not live for too long, maybe ten to twenty years later, he would age and die, and whether his descendants can continue to have a place among the nobles of the kingdom depends on the royal family. It’s easy to be marginalized otherwise.

We must know that the view of "non-self race, their hearts must be different" is very common on the Faerun continent, otherwise many people will not laugh at Alasdro's desire to establish a multi-racial harmonious coexistence country is a daydream.

In order to fully integrate into the aristocratic circle, Fuggner tried his best, and even spent a lot of money to marry an aristocratic lady. It is said that the value of the gift alone is more than 50,000 gold coins, which is basically equivalent to spending money to buy people. The purpose is just to want an heir with human blood.

He knew very well that maybe purebred orcs would never be accepted by the upper class, but most enlightened aristocrats treated half-orcs with a fair attitude. Although they would inevitably be discriminated against, at least they would not even give up opportunities.

Most of the time, marriages between aristocratic men and women are all naked exchanges of interests and alliances, so the poor girl did not even have the opportunity to resist, so she was sold by her parents to the old and ugly orcs. After a winter With her hard work, she finally conceived a few days ago, and she will be able to give birth to a mixed-race baby in January next year.

After receiving the news, Fugner was so happy and almost obedient to the young human wife. Although the girl did not get the prince charming in her dream, she got a good husband, and her children also She will become the only heir to the title, so she will no longer worry about her husband's ugly appearance, and settle down to be a wealthy viscountess and enjoy the extremely luxurious life.

It is precisely because of this change that Fugena feels the taste of happiness. The wrinkles on his face are smiling all the way, and the whole person seems to be rejuvenated for the second time.

He pointed to the fully-armed orc warrior and explained with a smile: "Mercenaries and adventurers are not stupid. They will only be responsible for containment of monsters defeated by my warriors. They will not participate in the frontal attack at all. Therefore, the danger is not Not big."

"Oh? Did you just watch them take your trophy?"

There was an incredible look in Alan's eyes. Based on his understanding of the orcs, these guys are simply unable to separate the good things that were bought in vain, not to mention the slaves who can sell a lot of gold coins when they change hands.

"Hahahaha! How to say, they are not all about picking up cheap, but they can still play a lot of use. For example, these people can provide a lot of help in tracking, and my people can't catch all the guys who run away. , It should belong to mutual help." After finishing speaking, Fugner took out the wine pouch around his waist and poured it fiercely.

There is another reason he did not say. That's what Henry once warned not to eat alone. Otherwise, the surrounding humans are prone to hatred of the rich. It will be difficult to get their approval then.

Although it will lose a little money in this state, it is actually earned in the long-term benefits. Look at these adventurers and mercenaries who have begun to accept and attach themselves to the orc army. After they have obtained the benefits, they will definitely promote it everywhere. The enlightenment of the ruler of Wywood City, as long as the reputation is established, it will not take long for all the surrounding villages to be slowly absorbed.

Just when Allen was about to ask something more, there was a harsh sound from the front of the team, which could be heard clearly even after such a distance.

no doubt. This is a ringing arrow that the dispatched scouts will only fire when they find a large number of enemies. The main function is to remind the large troops to prepare for battle.

After hearing the alarm, Fuggner, who seemed a little lazy, immediately changed his expression and jumped directly from the carriage and roared: "The whole army stop advancing! Line up! Ready to meet the enemy! The wolf cavalry is dispatched, let me see. Who on earth has the courage to fight against the mighty orc warriors with such a big case?"

"Stop! Line up!"

"The wolf cavalry is dispatched!"

"Wow!!!"

Accompanied by the shout of the messenger and the howl of the wolf, a full two thousand orc army quickly began to check the armor and weapons, and soon deployed a formation that is convenient for charging in accordance with the military code provided by Corey. In the front row, the sword and shield infantry followed closely, followed by the spearman. Finally, there was the Imperial Guard armed with a battle axe and a two-handed giant sword.

After a winter of training, the orc soldiers are already very familiar with this tactic. So it didn't seem to be messy at all, and the arrangement was completed in just a few minutes, just waiting for the other party to appear in the field of vision.

As for the wolf cavalry on both sides, there are not many, only in their early 100s, because these giant wolves eat too much, and the animal husbandry around Wywood City is not enough to feed too much. Their main function is not to charge into the formation, but to carry out sneak attacks from the flanks and the rear, making the enemy feel fear and fear, so as to achieve the purpose of disrupting the formation.

After learning how to use tactics and formations, the bloodthirsty orcs quickly discovered the benefits. They can easily defeat the enemy in the confrontation with the monsters, so the training is very serious. Now is the time to test the power. .

The adventurers and mercenaries did not hesitate to stay away from the battlefield and lie in the bushes on the side. As soon as the army gains a decisive advantage, they will immediately rush to the enemy like a shark smelling blood. a piece of meat.

The waiting time is always the most difficult, but fortunately, the scout in front did not make Fugner wait for too long, only less than ten minutes later appeared in the field of vision.

This is a halfling thief. He looks quite embarrassed at the moment. There are several arrows stuck in his leather armor. Fortunately, the arrows are made of bones and have very poor penetrating power. They did not suffer any serious injuries.

"Orc! Jackal! There are countless goblins! They seem to have formed an alliance! They are heading here, and they are coming soon!" He ran desperately while shouting at everyone.

"Damn it! Go and bring that little guy here~www.ltnovel.com~ I suddenly had a bad feeling." Fugna frowned and ordered to the guard beside him.

As a chief who led a tribe to survive in the highest wilderness, he knew better than anyone what it meant to unite multiple tribes in this wild land.

That is a barbaric war and plunder of civilization!

On average, it happens once every ten years. The surrounding villages and cities will be devastated. They have an overwhelming number, and few towns can hold it.

Obviously, this time the tribal coalition is directed at Wywood City, because there is no second city around to attack them and looting. For the orcs who have just gotten a chance to recuperate, there is nothing worse than this news.

For a while, the cloud of war hung over everyone. Even Allen who was accompanying felt the depression and tension in the air. He even smelled the conspiracy. There must be someone deliberately targeting West Hartland. Kingdom... (To be continued...)
