599 flotilla
It's been raining for two days in a row, and after a strong earthquake, something is quietly changing.
The muddy rains have shrouded the whole of Santo Long in a muddy puddle, and the roads are buried under a thin mud before they know it, and people have to go out less often because they really lack shelter from the elements.
Even the wealthiest part of the orc clan had only a set of crude clothes, and most of them were counting on rain to bathe - and now, they had no way to purify their bodies in muddy water.
As a result, the whole city is filled with the smell of sourness, because many people have not showered for three days in a row.
Before, it was because they didn't care about the taste, but now, I can only say that fortunately they don't mind the taste.
Three days have passed since that Heaven and Earth Catastrophe, and the defenders in the Holy Dragon Harbor have sent a large number of scouts, hoping to contact the troops led by the Beast Emperor.
But the news they brought back was not very promising, about 70 kilometers away from the city, the air would become even more turbid, some of the rivers that had been marked on the map would be gone, and the scouts would not be able to move on.
They didn't find the Beast Emperor's troops, so they couldn't even make a basic judgment. They didn't know if the earth-shattering meteorite was a natural phenomenon or something summoned by the devil to destroy the world.
So they could only pray, and then send some young soldiers, take up arms, and climb the city wall to guard against the demon forces that might suddenly appear.
As a result, on the morning of the fourth day, a disorganized lion cavalry returned to the outskirts of the port of Shenglong. Despite losing their armor, they didn't lose many soldiers, which reassured many orc civilians.
The most reassuring thing for everyone was that they brought back the news that the Beast Emperor was safe and sound. The hundreds of thousands of troops taken away by the Beast Emperor belonged to various tribes, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were carefully selected to be good at fighting were all safe and sound!
The news encouraged the people, and then the troops returned, bringing back more detailed news after another.
It turned out that the Dragon Emperor had successfully predicted the meteorite fall this time, and the Beast Emperor's troops retreated in advance, so they could avoid this complete disaster.
It turned out that this huge meteorite was not summoned by the demon - it was more likely that it was summoned by the Dragon Emperor.
The demon siege that everyone was worried about could no longer happen, and the demons near the Eye of Magic had now been almost completely wiped out.
However, after countless exciting news, the lord of Thang Long City, Ova, discovered a serious problem.
He was worried, and immediately met with the Beast Emperor Ericia, who had just returned to the Holy Dragon Harbor: "Your Majesty! The food in the city is already running out! You can last up to another day...... We're going to run out of food! ”
If it is just to support the people in the city, the grain storage is actually enough to last for a while. But now, the Beast Emperor is gathering here with hundreds of thousands of troops one after another, and the food is being consumed too quickly.
You must know that food has always been a big problem that plagues the orc tribes, and the beast emperor also took away a large amount of grain from the various tribes on this expedition.
As a result, because of that damn meteorite, next year's food production is now doomed, and the important food that was taken away is no longer there - and the fool knows that by this time next year, maybe half of the orcs will starve to death.
In this case, as the city lord of Shenglong Harbor and an important general of the orc clan, Ova naturally hoped that there would not be a large-scale famine in the city under his control, so what he hoped most now was to send away the army assembled by the Beast Emperor Ericia as soon as possible.
Although, disbanding this army will distribute the pressure to other orc tribes, what can be used to feed these hundreds of thousands of mouths if these troops are concentrated?
This is a real big mouth, and every orc warrior can eat the amount of five normal humans! If you want them to be full, you may want to have them eat two more people.
Moreover, these foods also include a lot of meat, after all, these are all strong orc warriors, and orcs are also a race that prefers meat more than humans.
Not to mention that among these elite armies, there are also a large number of demon lion mounts, which are big consumers of meat and food.
Surprisingly, the Beast Emperor was not very worried about the problem of food, he patted Owa on the shoulder, and said, "The news that the Dragon Emperor passed on a few days ago is that food will soon be transported to the Holy Dragon Harbor...... Perhaps, we will never have to go hungry again. ”
"No more...... Starving? "Owa didn't understand the meaning of what the Beast Emperor said, starvation is a very common phenomenon in the orc race, which is also the fundamental reason why the orc race has not yet had a real aristocratic class.
When a wealthy orc is excited every day to eat more grains, it's hard to compare them to the elegant nobility of humanity.
Although in the early days, humans were also stuck at the level of not having enough to eat, but the exploitation of civilians by human nobles was much more ruthless than that of orcs.
"Yes, Owa! Since the Dragon Emperor correctly predicted that the meteor would fall to the earth, then he predicted that there would be grain in the Holy Dragon Harbor, and there was no reason to doubt it. The Beast Emperor said confidently to Owa.
Owa couldn't get his head spinning, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that there was a huge hole in this passage.
No matter how coincidental the meteorite fall is, it is something that happened in nature, and such a thing can be predicted, and Owa feels that there is no problem.
But prophecy can't let things that don't exist appear out of thin air - even the Dragon Emperor can't conjure up the grain and grass that hundreds of thousands of troops need to eat, right?
"Your Majesty! It may be possible to predict such a thing as a meteor in advance, but where does this food come from? Owa asked, puzzled.
No matter how shallow his knowledge was, he knew that the orcs had dealt with humans before. The difference between the two sides is completely between a beggar and a man called Hanako, the orcs robbed the human city, only to find that the other party's granary could not feed the rats.
The relatively wealthy Magic Empire could have robbed food, but it didn't take long for the orcs to take into account the pressure of the dragons and elves and give up the plundering war with humans.
In short, humans have a very bad impression of the orcs, and the orcs have always regarded humans as "cash machines".
It is unlikely that humans want to help orcs tide over the difficulties, so where will the dragon emperor who go to find humans find food?
At the same time, an old orc man standing on a small broken fishing boat, trying to catch some sea fish with a hole in his fishing net to supplement his family, stood in a single layer of wood, letting the water seep under his feet lap against his feet.
The orcs are not a maritime people, and their weak navy can be described as nothing. In fact, they didn't have any decent fishing boats, and the only shipbuilding skills they had were copied from humans back then.
After such a long period of changes, even the human race itself has evolved many types of sailboats, but the shipbuilding technology of the orc race has not advanced but retreated.
They couldn't even make a decent sailboat, and could only barely rely on impressions to make some four-way sailboats, slow sailing speed, low load, and sailors couldn't even find their way out of the coastline.
The old man of the orc clan in front of him is already one of the few people in the orc tribe who can swim well.
With the ability to barely fish in the offshore waters, his food and clothing are not a problem. Recently, due to the return of a large army to the port of Shenglong, his fish business has become more and more prosperous.
Many orc civilians who were afraid of running out of food came to him to buy dried fish, hoarding them so that they could barely feed themselves when they ran out of food. That's why he's here by boat, and he's going to save some money now, so that he can build a better ship when the conditions allow.
He was standing in his small wooden boat, and on the other side of the boat was a barrel containing a few fresh fish.
The old fishing net was scattered on the side of the boat, and a sea fish was constantly fluttering inside, but the old orc fisherman in the boat paid no attention to it, he just held his head high and watched a dark shadow cover the sky above his head.
It was a giant ship flying in the sky, and the floating magic array lit up below shone with dazzling light.
The old fisherman of the orc clan had never seen such a huge flying machine in front of him, and he could not even dream that such a thing would exist.
But now, he really saw something like this, and he saw a strange little thing with a lot of noise rising from the ground of this huge ship and hurrying away.
What he saw was a UH-60 utility helicopter, and Ellan Hill sent his own transport fleet, carrying a large amount of supplies, to the other side of the continent before the transport fleet, and came to the Orc tribe's Holy Dragon Harbor.
These giant floating transport ships are piled up with all kinds of supplies, as well as some engineers and technicians from Ellan Hill.
Of course, Chris can't give so much gratuitous aid to the Dragon Emperor in vain, in fact, many good things in the orc territory are already in the Irlanhill Empire.
As a result, these floating carriers are also loaded with some of the mineral mining equipment of Iran Hill – and these technicians who arrive in advance will immediately start drilling here.
For Iran Hill, its dependence on energy is obvious. Therefore, all the people in this empire have an inexplicable love for new mines and oil fields.
And the Dragon Emperor assured Chris that in the territory of the orcs, the safety of humans could be guaranteed.
No one doubts that the Dragon Emperor's promise cannot be fulfilled, because no one doubts Iran Hill's ability to retaliate! Sometimes, it's as simple as that......
