On the way to the camp, there were no further attacks.

However, especially sharp-eyed mercenaries can find that above their heads, high in the gray sky, there are often a few imperceptible black spots, hovering from time to time.

"How far is it?" Renard was a little strange, didn't he say that it was dozens of kilometers away from the broken bridge?

"We were delayed a little bit because of an attack on the road, but it didn't matter, we walked another 10 kilometres. Tsepes said the camp was ahead.

Walked for more than an hour.

In front of them, a large architectural shadow appeared in front of the expedition team.

Closer to life, the mercenaries discovered that it was a polygonal camp made of wood and stone, each side more than 500 meters long. At each turn of the camp, there is a 20-metre-high stone watchtower topped by a small canopy made of wood. And under the stone wall, there is a dense thorn wood, and the sharpened end will be sharpened like a spear array, defending against the impact of fierce beasts. I don't know if it was because of the digging of stones and the retaining wall, or if it was a deliberately excavated trap, and the ground was dug with potholes on the periphery of the camp.

Some of the pits were dug very deep, and the mercenaries had to walk on them carefully, and it was easy to fall into them if they were not careful.

"Woo-hoo!" Tsepes shouted to the guard at the watchtower on the side of the camp, who let his guard down as he drew his bow and arrow.

Outside the main entrance of the camp.

A wide and deep pit was dug next to the parapet.

It was filled with filthy sewage and stinks. And above the stinky puddle, the suspension bridge hanging high is slowly descending under the loud cry of Cepes, and the back seems to be impatient, and the whole suspension bridge falls down with a 'boom', and directly crosses the stinky puddle that makes people feel strong vomiting when they smell it.

Tsepes explained to Archbishop Nero: "Our camp has just been established, it has only been fourteen or fifteen years, and the moat has not yet been perfected. The main problem is the shortage of manpower, if we can have a few hundred more people, then not to mention the moat, even if we set up a small city, there is no problem at all. Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to one thing when entering the camp, if you see strangers or humanoids of different races, do not stare at other people's faces, it is not polite. Although the races in our camp are all very friendly, there are some taboos in some of them. ”

"Understood, we'll pay attention!" Reynard naturally didn't want to make trouble, after all, he was entering someone else's territory.

The leaders of the various forces gave their orders to go down.

The mercenaries naturally nodded yes.

Standing at the gate of the camp gate, there were four guards.

They are what Tepes calls Inhumans and Humanoids, with two Inhumans on the left and two Humanoids on the right.

Inhumans and humanoids, according to the division here in Purgatory Camp, are genetically mutated from humans, called Inhumans, and no matter what shape they become, they feel like they are human. The other, which is composed of other races but has a certain resemblance to humans, and is very likely to have human ancestors, is called humanoid.

Humanoids are willing to live with humans, and can even intermarry.

But they no longer admit in their hearts that they are human.

Inhumans are the opposite.

Regardless of whether or not they can maintain their human form, or if they can still be accepted by humans, or whether they can continue to intermarry, Inhumans claim to be human.

Cepes had explained it to the mercenaries before, but when they walked across the drawbridge, entered the city gates, and saw the strange intelligent creatures in front of them, they were all shocked.

The two Inhumans on the left don't look like humans at all, the shorter one has a thin body, but eyes are as big as fists, and they almost occupy most of the skinny face. The big-eyed thin man had thorny hair on the top of his head, more exaggerated than a hedgehog, and his long, thin arms were nearly vertical to the ground, and his unusually large fingers had hook-like nails.

If this is a human being, then none of the mercenaries can agree with it.

But.

Compared to his companions, the big-eyed and skinny hedgehog is much better.

The other is a tall and majestic Inhuman, full of muscles, no matter where muscles should grow or not, they are full of muscles, and the whole person looks more like a monster than a human. The mouth is surprisingly large, and it is a bloody mouth, but the eyes and nose are pitifully small, and the ears simply do not have such ornaments. What made Lin Dong pay special attention was that the eyes of this tall alien were somewhat similar to the compound eyes of insects, rather than human eyes. In addition to resembling a monster, the tall Inhuman also wears a large steel arm over his right arm.

The huge steel arm was almost equal to his own body.

Compare it with the big-eyed thin hedgehog next to it.

The steel arm could fit three or four with perfect ease.

"Captain Babu, and dear little Chuck, it turns out that you are on duty today, and this is the good wine that the guests have given me!" Tsepes stepped forward and handed the tall Inhuman with the iron arm a bottle of whiskey as a gift for entering the camp.

"What about us, do you only see Captain Babu and Little Chuck with your eyes?" the humanoid guard next to him was very dissatisfied.

"Stan and York, it's your share!" Tsepes also gave them a bottle of wine.

Cepes turned around again and introduced Renard beside him: "These two are Stando the Sheep Man and York the Boar Man, and there are many humanoid races in our camp, but don't look at the different races, but they are all very friendly and worthy of making friends." In life, the humanoid brothers are not much different from us humans, they hunt the same and eat the same meat, if they don't stick to their own race, you can treat them as human!"

In the eyes of Renard and other mercenaries.

Humanoids look closer to humans than Inhumans, at least outwardly.

Standing to the right of the camp gate, Stan the sheep and York the boar man, were closer to the level of human appreciation than the steel-armed Babu and the big-eyed thin Chuck on the other side.

Stan, the sheep man, is almost the same as humans everywhere else.

Except for his long, drooping ears.

Everywhere else is human.

York, the boar man, is uglier.

He had two crooked fangs on his lower lip, which were higher than his nose, and his skin was unusually rough, and his face looked like crumpled shoes. Other than that, though, the boar man doesn't have many similarities and differences from humans in other parts of York.

The mercenaries all felt that it would be more reasonable to swap out the Inhumans and humanoids.

Inhumans are not humans at all, but humanoid monsters.

Humanoids are a bit like mutated humans.

Of course.

This kind of thing should never be said to your face.

When I entered the camp, it was dirty and messy, like a garbage dump. Low-shacks are everywhere, a mess, and a lot of domestic waste and filthy and smelly sewage are everywhere. There are almost no streets to speak of, but there are tall buildings, some of which are made of pure stone, shaped like a medieval fortress against the enemy, towering in the shack area, with an indescribable dissonance.

At the very center is a plaza-like open space where everyone puts their goods and trades with those who need them.

There are stalls full of goods, and there are also stalls that are placed directly on the ground.

"If you're interested, you can take a look. People who are more well-dressed are generally businessmen from other places, and it is better to be careful of being deceived when trading with them, and it is best to barter so as to reduce losses. Those who are placed on the ground or have only one stall are mostly local hunters, and the best trade items with them are salt, sugar, wine, spices, etc., if you are willing to trade them, I believe they will be happy! If you want to see something, you can ask the other party to pick it up and then take a closer look!" Tsepes advised the mercenaries to keep their eyes peeled and not to fall into the pit.

"Is there a place to trade the blood core?" Reynard was most interested in the blood core.

"Of course there is, but it's better to find a trustworthy businessman, otherwise there is a high chance of being scammed. Tsepes pointed to some of the stone houses along the square, which were noticeably taller than the shacks, and said that those places were merchants' shops, in which valuable trade goods were usually kept.

"It looks like there's more than a few hundred people here!" Thomas remembered that there were only two or three hundred people in the camp, but there seemed to be at least seven or eight hundred, or even thousands.

"Most of the people you see are the permanent residents of the camp, some are merchants, and some are hunters from other camps, because it is very dangerous in the wilderness, they will stay in our camp for a short time, and wait until they have enough food to hunt, and then return to their camp with their companions. Our camp is not rich in supplies, and there are no precious minerals worth digging for, so there are not many permanent residents in the camp. However, because we have water here, they are willing to stay for a short time when they are on safari, which is why it seems that there are many people who have the illusion that if the beast tide comes, they will all run away, and there are only two or three hundred people who can garrison our camp!" explained Cepes.

"Ahem, Monsieur Tsepes, where are you at home, and if there is not enough room to rest, we may need to find some hotel to stay in. Renard said everyone was tired.

"Although I am not the camp leader of the camp, the camp master went to the meeting of the city lord of Ozie, and it was no problem for us to stay at his house for a few days. In addition, next to the big stone house of the campowner, another slightly lower stone house is my home, and there is a large area of shacks around it, which is also the house I usually rent to the wandering merchants and safaris, you can arrange it as you like. In fact, if you see empty houses around my house, just stay there, and we have always had plenty of houses in our camp, and the resources that lack are people...... Chiefs, knights and would-be knights, please come with me, although Cepes's strength is limited, I will try my best to make an arrangement as satisfactory as possible!"

Unlike Renard.

Lin Dong didn't follow.

He visited the vendors in the square with great interest, looking left and right, as if a countryman had entered the city.

When the griffin saw a stall selling fruits, there was a strange fruit with a big red fist on it, and he immediately became greedy, and said to Lin Dongjian, "Lord Tianshen, what do you think of this fruit? Let's have one for each of us?"

Fawkes suddenly opened his mouth to scare him: "Mr. Griffin, have you ever heard of the laws of Hades?"

"What is the law of Hades?" the griffin was stunned.

"The story goes that the goddess of the harvest had a very beautiful daughter, and one day she was taken away by Hades, who lived in Hades, and Hades, the king of Hades, liked this goddess very much, but this goddess did not want to stay in Hades at all, and was bent on returning to her mother's side. Her mother, the goddess of harvest, ran to the god-king Zeus and cried, but Zeus had no choice but to let Hades go. Hades didn't want to let his beloved goddess go, so he used a trick to send her off, and when he gave her a plate of beautiful and tempting fruits, the goddess couldn't help but eat a grape...... The price of this grape is that this goddess has to stay in Hades for three months every year! Because she eats the things of the underworld, according to the laws of Hades, she must stay, even if there is an order from Zeus, she will not be spared! At the same time, because of the departure of her sad daughter, the goddess of harvest has no intention of managing the earth, so we will have the arrival of winter, the story of winter and the laws of Hades told in it, have you really not heard of it?" Fox asked with a smile.

"Of course I've heard of it!The most I heard about it when I was a kid were myths!" The griffin was calm on the surface, but inside she was terrified, Mom, I don't dare to eat indiscriminately!R1152
