The vast ice fields in the far north of the Epic Continent are the territory of the orcs.

The orcs have only one empire, and that is the orc empire. The royal city of the Orc Empire is the Frozen Throne, and apart from the royal city, the Orcs do not have any other real towns, they just have tribes gathered together and then roaming the wild ice fields.

150,000 miles south from the wild ice field is the first male pass of the human kingdom, Constantinople.

Constantinople belonged to all mankind and to the Odin Empire. Constantinople is the first barrier against the invasion of orcs, and it is also the foundation of the Odin Empire.

The label of the Odin Empire is bloody, powerful, and fearless of death.

Like the Kushan Empire, she was founded by a generation of male lords, the Kushan Empire was Napoleon I, and the Odin Empire was Odin I. The difference is that the Kushan Empire has now been reduced to the last seat of the United Council of Mankind, and if it weren't for the other empires taking into account the aura of the Kushan Empire in the hearts of the people, it would have been divided up a long time ago. But the Odin Empire was at its peak.

A small area on the eastern side of the Odin Empire is the Duchy of Welf, home to the Mage's Guild. Although the Duchy of Welf does not occupy a large area, the more than 300 mage towers in the Duchy make it impossible for any force on the mainland to dare to attack it.

Further south from the Odin Empire is the Holy Empire.

The Holy Empire has a vast territory and is the first in all mankind in terms of comprehensive strength. Except for the Holy Empire, other countries have a strikingly similar comment on it, "The Holy Empire and the Holy Religion are a bitch and her benefactor", of course, the naked envy and jealousy contained in these words can be seen even by the blind.

The Kushan Empire is located on the eastern side of the Holy Empire and the southern side of the Duchy of Welf. Her territory was narrow and crooked, like a scythe.

The Kushan Empire was once the largest power on the continent and the ruler of mankind. At the beginning of the rise of mankind, it carried all the honors. However, the Kushan Empire's strength lasted only two hundred prayer years.

The Titan Empire, which occupies the vast land on the western side of the epic continent, is the natural enemy of the Holy Empire. It is also the number one military power in the human kingdom today, with more than thirty dragon knights intimidating all hostile forces.

The mighty Titan Empire and the equally powerful Holy Empire have not perished in the holy war and counter-holy war for more than 3,000 prayer years, and they need to thank the natural barrier between the two, the Forest of Chaos.

The Forest of Chaos is an inverted triangle from south to north, with tens of thousands of miles in length at its deepest point. It is densely packed with many powerful and dangerous magical beasts, as well as dwarven tribes and elven tribes, as well as half-orcs, and the largest number is the outcasts of the human realm.

The small area at the tip of the inverted triangle has a name that resounds throughout the epic continent, Jerusalem. This is the battle zone for dozens of jihads. Of course, it's also a mercenary's paradise.

Compared to Jerusalem, not many people know the name Kumaranka, but if it is mentioned in the Forest of Chaos bordering her, everyone gasps and sighs with a little schadenfreude.

"Hasn't the great Alexander the Great abolished the county system around the Forest of Chaos? ”

As an extension of the Holy Empire and the Titan Empire's holy war battlefield, Kumaranka has no civilians, no pastures, and only various mercenaries and bounty hunters, who hunt the heads of heretics or members of the Holy Cult in exchange for the vast wealth they desire.

According to the laws of the Empire, the nobles who own the territory are not summoned by the emperor and are not allowed to leave the territory for any reason, so that there are often a few or even dozens of unlucky ghosts in the empire, either because they cannot pay the taxes stipulated by the empire and are removed from the nobility, or they are robbed by greedy mercenaries and then cut off their heads.

If you don't know the inside story, you will definitely think that Kumaranka is barren and chaotic, but in fact, it is very prosperous and orderly, because it is actually the mercenary union and the general association of the Chamber of Commerce that really run Kumaranka.

All valuable items obtained by mercenaries entering the Forest of Chaos for hunting, exploring, looting, or trading with natives will be sold there.

This has created the strange prosperity of Kumaranka, and it has also made Kumaranka unknown to outsiders, after all, these things are not on the table.

Sunrise, early in the morning. The warm spring breeze, the warm sunshine, the neighing of mules and horses, and the noise of the crowd all mingle together, making the whole Kumaranka vibrant.

Those big men who walked sideways with their heads held high and eager to walk sideways were members of the mercenary group and chamber of commerce who had just returned from the forest of chaos, and they had already received the team's dividends and salaries, and were about to go to the bar for a few drinks, and find a few gentle girls to treat themselves.

And those who are packing up their equipment and tending to their horses are the mercenaries who are preparing to enter the Forest of Chaos.

Barber is the leader of a medium-sized mercenary regiment whose team now consists of forty-five combat members, forty logisticians, and thirty mule-and-horse carts.

"Raleigh, go gather all the fighters, and we'll leave in half a prayer. ”

"Old Mursi, tell your men to go and check all the carts again, and make sure all the horses and horses and goods are in order. ”

"Where's Karl, come here, you go and count the food and water that has been prepared. ”

"Who is in charge of this big car? Damn, how many times have you said it, the tarp must be covered tightly, the hemp rope must be tied tightly, and the next time I see something sloppy, Lao Tzu will deduct your salary." ”

Bobble inspected all the supplies and carts as he walked, and from time to time instructed different people to make preparations before departure.

Half a prayer later, Bobble's unicorn mercenary group was ready to go. With Barber's order, forty-six people rode war horses, and forty people drove thirty carts, loaded with various materials and goods, and slowly drove out of the city.

"Lord Raleigh, can you help me talk to the regimental commander and let me join the battle sequence?"

A handsome young man driving a cart took out a palm-sized, crumpled carton from his arms, and then gently knocked the bottom of the carton on the palm twice, shook out the only two cigarettes left in the carton, carefully and reluctantly took out one of them, and respectfully handed it to Raleigh, who was riding a war horse next to the cart.

Raleigh glanced at the cigarette, which was a little crooked, and reached for it. He put the cigarette to the tip of his nose, took a deep breath, and then exhaled it softly in enjoyment.

"Augustine, you kid can afford to smoke cigarettes. Raleigh said as he put the cigarette in his mouth before speaking again.

"Is the battle sequence so easy to enter? You first do a good job of logistics honestly and behave well, and when the time is ripe, the regiment commander will naturally transfer you into the battle sequence. ”

Augustine was a little discouraged, driving a big car all day, and being a logistics staff was too unchallenging. Moreover, the salary of the combatant is ten times that of the logistics staff, and he wants to make more money, so he has been trying his best to please Raleigh next to him, and wants him to help him say a few good words to the regiment commander.

"Lord Raleigh, when is this going to be? I've heard that Dalvera has been in the regiment for more than two years, and it's been logistics, that's too much, I don't want to be like him. ”

syllable

Luo lit the cigarette with the rope, closed his eyes, took a beautiful puff, and let the smoke sit in his lungs for several seconds until he couldn't hold it anymore and spewed out of his nostrils. Blinking his lips, savoring the mellow aroma of tobacco, Raleigh said.

"This cigarette produced by the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce is really a good thing, enjoy it slowly, like being in heaven. You're too anxious, it's like smoking, the more anxious you are, the more you'll choke. You have only been in our group for a month of prayer, and the inspection period has not yet ended. When this mission is over, you behave well, and then I will recommend it to you and the group leader, so that it will not be a big problem. ”

Augustine was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly handed the last cigarette in his hand to Raleigh along with the cigarette case, and said flatteringly.

"Then it's up to Master Raleigh. I heard that among the items produced by the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, there is not only this good thing called knight cigarettes, but also a kind of wine, called beast blood, take a sip, the taste is comparable to the purest Bodo red wine, and when I get my salary at the end of this mission, I will definitely ask Lord Raleigh to taste it. ”

"Hahaha, you kid is sensible, don't worry, when I finish for you, it's not too late for you to invite me. Raleigh was very pleased with Augustine's flattery, and reached out with his left hand holding a cigarette and tapped him.

"How hard it is, whether it works out or not, I must treat you to this drink. ”

Although Raleigh said that he helped to ask Augustine to invite him to drink, but Augustine can't be so ignorant, ask someone to do something, whether it succeeds or not, the benefits have to be given, otherwise who will want to help you in the future?

"We'll talk about it then, we'll talk about it when we get there. However, the beast blood wine was indeed mellow, and I had the pleasure of attending a banquet with the head of the regiment and drinking a small glass. That taste, it's amazing! It's comparable to Bodo red wine, do those poor ghosts know wine? If you want me to say, animal blood wine can throw off Bodo red wine ten streets. That's the real wine. ”

Raleigh squinted and savored. "Do you know how many bottles of Beast Blood Wine are sold now? That Huaxia Chamber of Commerce relied on knight cigarettes and beast blood wine I don't know how much money it made, Jinshan Yinhai. ”

Augustine was taken aback by Raleigh's words, he originally thought that a pack of cigarettes for twenty silver coins was already a sky-high price, but he didn't expect that a bottle of beast blood wine would be sold for a gold coin.

Looking at Augustine, stunned by the price of a gold coin, Raleigh laughed.

"Little cub who has never seen the world, what, now I am starting to feel distressed. ”

Augustine stiffened his neck and said with a "proud face".

"Invite Lord Raleigh to drink, don't say one gold coin, even ten gold coins a bottle, I Augustine will not feel distressed. ”

Raleigh raised his foot and kicked him, and said angrily: "Get out of the calf, pay back ten gold coins, you kid can earn a few gold coins on this mission." ”

Augustine sneered, he just slapped his swollen face and became fat. But he will definitely be able to afford a gold coin by then, but it really hurts.
