c_t; The territory of the Campas Orc Kingdom is vast, and the distance from west to east is thousands of miles, and I am afraid that many orcs have not been able to travel through it in their lifetime. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Read the full text of the latest chapter

However, unlike the orcs who grudging over the barren land, or risking all kinds of dangers to hunt and gather. There are some orcs who are not naturally physically strong, and not only can they avoid the harsh military service in the orc kingdom, but they can also walk freely in this vast area.

Although these orcs need to pay a large amount of taxes to the kingdom every year for this, they are lucky compared to those compatriots who are struggling to make ends meet, and the orcs who are forced to go to the front line of the bloody battle because they can't pay the taxes.

They are the blood vessels and blood in the economic lifeblood of the orc kingdom, and they are the orc caravans that walk the vast wasteland and are called 'travelers'.

Beth thrust the spear into the ground hard, and then raised his stout right hand to set up a pergola in front of him, so as to slightly block the scorching sunlight overhead, and by the way, he could better observe the situation in the distance.

Speaking of which, as a rare hunter among the Barbarian Mane Clan, Bess came out to make a living, and he was really envious of many people in the same village. Although he was not the strongest warrior in the village, he could not even compare to the taciturn tall warrior of his kind, Bessac, in the caravan behind him.

But Beth was still picked by the guy with a lewd face.

Yes, although it seems a little bad to say that about his employer, but that's what Bess really thinks in his heart.

In terms of the average height of the cattle orcs who can exceed two and a half meters in adulthood, the leader of the caravan, the rat orc Mir, who is less than a meter straight at full play, is really too cold.

It's just that even in the Orc Kingdom of Campas, which is known for its worship of force, if you want to live a stable life now, you really can't do without these merchants who travel from south to north and bring wealth and opportunities.

After all, with the exception of a few ferocious orc villages, most of the other villages would not attack orc merchants. Although attacking the ranks of these merchants can make a huge profit at once, if no merchants dare to come, then the village will probably not be able to pay the taxes demanded by the kingdom next year!

After all, only trading is the only way to convert the harvest into money, and if the tax collectors of those kingdoms are allowed to calculate the stock price, the whole village will be waiting to be turned into slaves!

And Beth left the village this time to make money with the caravan leader Mir. But what Beth didn't know was that although he was nominally a member of the caravan's bodyguard, he had actually been sold to the caravan by the village chief!

After all, a five-year security contract, with a one-time payment of ten gold coins to the village, looked like a slave trade rather than an ordinary employment relationship

In fact, five years sounds like a short time, but walking in the dangerous Orc Kingdom of Tempas, there are very few orc guards who can survive five years safely!

And the reason why Mill chose Beth was more because he was good at throwing short spears. Because such a long-range attacker, whether in the face of Warcraft or bandits, the survival rate and lethality are relatively objective, at least much better than Bes's cousin Bailey-Mane.

In fact, the cattle orcs themselves are a race between the strong race and the weak race.

Let's say that they belong to the strong battle race, but the chance of a blood energy awakener appearing among the orcs of the bull clan in a normal state is not too high. Although they were born with a strong physique, even without the assistance of blood energy, the combat power of adult Niu Clan orcs was no worse than that of second-order wolf clan warriors.

But as the strength increases, this advantage becomes smaller and smaller. So much so that among the orcs of the Ox Clan, the number of high-level warriors is much less than that of the ordinary strong battle race, but this has made them unable to really enter the ranks of the strong war race.

Bes, like most cow orcs, is not the kind of monster with a bull head and a human body. The reason why they are called bull orcs is because of the pair of horns of different shapes on their heads, and on the other hand, because of their strong physique and thick hair.

In addition, a bull orc like Beth is actually a wild and amplified version of a human.

"It's really unlucky, I haven't encountered a demonic beast for three days, could it be that they are all lying at home?"

He was muttering alone on a rock the size of a millstone, when a slightly mature voice came from behind the bass.

"Stop complaining, wouldn't it be nice to have no Warcraft? Otherwise, next time you go to the front and stop the iguana. ”

"Big brother! I'm a spearman! It's not like you're a shield warrior, even if I pick up my shield and walk to the front, I'm afraid those monsters won't attack me, right? ”

Hearing his cousin say this, Bailey suddenly raised the corner of his eye, shook his left arm holding the shield, and hummed:

"What's the matter? You mean to say I'm born with a mocking face? ”

"How can it! Big brother, you're domineering and exposed."

Speaking of which, Bailey didn't bother to be poor with his cousin, you must know that there are too few orcs like Bess among the cow orcs.

"Okay, let's get down to business, did you find anything? Is there a monster or some other danger ahead? ”

Seeing that his cousin was talking about business with a straight face, Bess smiled secretly and stopped playing, but shook his head and said:

"Where are there any monsters and dangers! I've been watching it for so long, I haven't even seen anything that would pant for air."

Just as he was saying this, Bess suddenly found that Bailey's eyes were staring at a place for a long time and had not moved, and just when Bess wanted to ask, Bailey suddenly raised his left hand and hit Bess with the shield tied to his forearm, and then shouted in a low voice:

"You said you weren't panting? Then look at what this is! It's approaching us! ”

Bes, who was hit by a beating, heard his cousin say this, and suddenly had no time to get angry, and looked straight in the direction that Bailey's right hand was pointing.

It was only then that Bess discovered that in the middle of the empty Gobi in the distance, there was an extra black spot that was gradually getting bigger!

You must know that Bes's eyesight is much better than Bailey's, otherwise he would not be a spearman and scout.

And at this time, he had already judged that the one who was moving this way should not be a demonic beast, but a person?!

(Oh my God!) How is this possible!? How is it possible for one person to survive alone on this Gobi? Could it be that this is not an orc at all, but some kind of human-looking monster? No, we have to go back and report it! )

Thinking of this, Beston pulled out the short spear on the ground, hurriedly pulled his cousin Bailey and ran in the direction of the caravan a hundred meters behind him

The caravan led by Mill has grown from only five men and a few carts in a few years to the present day, and now there are forty members in total.

In addition, the original cart that could only be pushed and walked by people has long disappeared, and not only that, but now there are as many as eleven Kodo beasts used to load goods in the entire caravan!

Although this scale is not the largest among the caravans of the Kampas Kingdom, it is enough to be called second-rate. Wherever Mir's caravans went, they were greeted with great hospitality, but sometimes this enthusiasm was expressed by the robbers with swords, guns, and tomahawks.

Because of this, more than half of the members of Mir's caravan were escort warriors, and although some of these warriors would make temporary cameos as porters and coolies when they didn't need to fight, but even so, Mir was still cautious, in addition to the arrangement of four shifts with people on guard all day, and even learned from the merchant group and the regular army, and got two spirited hunters to act as scouts!

It is precisely because of Mir's caution that he has been able to successfully avoid the danger from the monsters and robbers several times in advance in more than a year. According to Mir, you can only make money if you are safe, and if you die, you have nothing.

In this regard, some people have also ridiculed Mir for being a timid rat orc, but Mir does not care about this at all. In fact, the monkey merchant who said this was intercepted and killed by the robbers not long after. From then on, everyone in the Mir caravan, even the Bull Clan warrior Besak, who was strong enough to be a third-order black iron high-level, also obeyed Mir's words.

And Bess was only absorbed because the caravan was in danger some time ago and lost a scout.

In fact, because of the presence of scouts, the safety of the caravan has indeed improved a lot, but on the contrary, if the scouts themselves are not alert enough, then they are the closest to danger and death

"Hey! Bass Boy! How did you run back so quickly? Looking panicked? Is there any danger ahead? It can't be fake news again! Hahaha! ”

Perhaps because of the lack of sufficient entertainment during the merchant's journey, I don't know when this kind of teasing of newcomers became popular among caravans in the kingdom of Campas.

In fact, it can't be said that these veteran guards have any malice, they will not taunt and suppress the new guards, after all, if they are really in danger, they may be able to save each other's lives. So, it's not so much that the veteran guards are teasing the newcomers, but that they're just making some innocuous jokes.

And this time, Bes, who has joined the caravan, and his cousin Bailey, are the targets of the teasing of the veteran guards.

"There really is a situation! I saw a lone man in black approaching our caravan in front of me! ”

"What?! Someone who travels alone? Or is it all black? Bass kid, you're not mistaken!? It's a barren Gobi! Further east is a psychedelic desert, how can anyone walk alone?! Still dressed in black, don't you know how poisonous the sun is now? A black suit has long been hot to death! ”
