September is the month when the season turns cooler.

The hot summer days passed, and the cool autumn arrived.

But for the Death Desert, even in early autumn, the heat is still intimidating.

And because of the end of the summer rainy season, the autumn of the Death Desert is even drier, and combined with the weather that is out of season from time to time, the dryness and heat are enough to make people mad......

Only rough-skinned orcs can adapt to such a climate.

Death Desert North.

A caravan of humans laden with cargo was moving slowly.

The caravan consisted of about sixty or seventy people, and twenty or so carriages, each of which had a black eagle emblem on one side, which was very eye-catching.

That's the monogram unique to the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.

The strongest side of the caravan was a human warrior on a camel, about thirty years old.

He was dressed in leather armor and had a Black Eagle badge on his chest, which was a token of the Chamber of Commerce owned only by the leader of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and it was also a proof of identity and status.

In the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, only powerful Silver Professionals would have such a badge.

I saw him looking at the scorching sun in the sky for a while, and then he took out a water bladder and took a sip of water, wiping his sweat and scolding:

"What the hell is the weather!"

Even a silver professional would not be able to endure such a high temperature until he had advanced to the golden rank and achieved a complete transformation of his physique.

The caravan progressed gradually, rounding one barren hill after another, until it finally came to an oasis.

The oasis is modest in size, surrounded by a shallow lake with flourishing reeds and desert poplars growing on its shores.

The oasis is surrounded by hundreds of tents and thatched huts, large and small.

And the sturdy orcs, dressed in rudimentary leather armor or linen clothes, were busy.

It is a half-orc settlement.

Death deserts have harsh climates, especially lack of water, and only oases like this can be a place of life.

After seeing the orc settlement, the leader warrior of the Chamber of Commerce finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And the orcs also noticed the arriving caravan, and there was a noticeable commotion throughout the settlement.

Especially after noticing the Chamber of Commerce's Black Eagle logo.

The leader warrior pursed his lips as he watched the orcs cast a gaze of greed, curiosity, eagerness, and vigilance, sweeping over their tattered equipment and clothes.

"An inferior race is an inferior race......"

He muttered to himself.

Even if humans aren't even a black iron race, he still can't look down on these stupid big guys who only have muscles in their heads.

This is determined by the comprehensive strength of the race, as well as the strength of the true gods it possesses.

Soon, though, the caravan leader changed to a warm smile.

I saw him turn over and get off his camel and shout towards the settlement:

"Sharu! I'm Andris! The goods you want have arrived! ”

The silver pro had a loud voice, and the voice soon spread throughout the settlement.

A moment later, with a burst of laughter, a tall, scarred orc priest walked out of the settlement, surrounded by several orc warriors.

He came to the caravan and looked at the full wagons with a satisfied expression.

"It's been a great journey, Mr. Andris!"

He smiled at the leader of the caravan, who was Andris.

Andris gave him a surprised look, and couldn't help but whisper:

"Huh? Have you been promoted to Silver? ”

This is a priest of silver!

You must know that silver professionals are not common among half-orcs, even if their magic power begins to recover, due to the limitations of their racial potential, there are very few silver powerhouses of half-orcs.

Not to mention the rare priesthood.

In a small settlement like this, where the number of people is only a thousand, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only five or six hundred warriors at most, and generally speaking, there will be no priests of the silver rank.

So...... Andris was amazed.

He didn't smuggle much in the Death Desert, but because he had studied at the Imperial Academy and specialized in the culture of orcs, he thought he knew a lot about orcs.

Hearing Andris's exclamation, the orc priest named Sharu looked extremely proud.

He smiled hesitantly, and then his expression changed to a grimace, and he gradually became reverent.

"Praise the winter, praise the hunt! It's all the blessing of the Father! ”

He drew a bow symbol on his chest.

Andris was slightly stunned, realizing that the other party had been favored by the true god before he would be promoted to the next level.

Then, he motioned to the caravan's subordinates to open the wagon, and said to the orc priest:

"Well, the five hundred pieces of imperial equipment you want, as well as food, a little bit, are all up to date, check and check."

Hearing his words, the orc priest's eyes lit up:

"Great! Now the warriors of our tribe will be able to play at full strength! ”

He beckoned to the orcs behind him, and the orcs stepped forward to inspect the goods.

After a moment, the orc warrior who had consulted nodded at Sharu, and Sharu's smile became more enthusiastic:

"I knew that the Sauron Chamber of Commerce would always be a friend of the orcs!"

"Mr. Andris, and all the Terran friends, come into our tribe and rest, we've had a hard time all the way, and we've got the drinks ready."

He invited the caravan.

Andris nodded and commanded the caravan to enter the orc tribe to rest.

He wasn't worried about the other party's cheating, even if it was a silver professional who had already appeared in this small tribe.

Maybe he would be wary of orcs on weekdays, but this time the other party would definitely not dare to mess around.

Because this transaction was negotiated between the half-orc royal court of the Death Desert and the high-level of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, it is said that there seems to be a stronger existence endorsement......

Andris himself was only one of many Sauron caravans that traded with orcs.

Drinking the sweet water of the sandy spring, Andrews sat in the shade, eating the dry food he had brought with him, while squinting at the orcs who excitedly shared the equipment on the truck.

To his surprise, it wasn't just Sharu who had improved in strength, but these orc warriors had also become stronger.

As far as he knew, the average strength of the orcs in the Death Desert should be in the middle of the black iron, and only a few warriors could reach the top position.

However, nearly half of these half-orcs who are competing for equipment have been promoted to the top of the black iron!

This surprised Andris a little, and he speculated in his heart that it was the work of the Hunting Church again.

A moment later, several orcs pushing wheelbarrows came up to him.

There were three wheelbarrows, each full of fur.

It is the skin of a rare magical beast unique to the Death Desert, the "Sand Spotted Leopard", which is very beautiful, and it is a priceless luxury in the human world, and the smuggling is extremely profitable.

These three furs are enough to sell them to the human world, and enough to top seven or eight hundred sets of sophisticated armor and equipment, and enough food for a small tribe of half-orcs to eat for three months.

"Good!"

Seeing the furs, Andris looked satisfied.

However, his gaze did not stop, but looked behind him expectantly.

"Anything else? That one...... You know, bootlegged. ”

He smiled and asked meaningfully.

Hearing Andris's words, the orc priest first smiled, and then nodded equally meaningfully:

"Of course, there are also private goods."

Then, he winked at the orc behind him, who nodded vaguely, and pushed a carriage with a gray cloth tightly covered in gray cloth with another orc.

Andris's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and carefully uncovered a corner of the gray cloth.

Underneath the gray cloth is a cage.

And in the cage, three good-looking young female elves were being tightly bound, shivering.

"Only three?"

Andris frowned.

"Hey, it's not easy, you also know that the Elven Forest has been making a lot of noise recently, just these three, or we blocked the road of the Dark Mountains, and they all planned to return to the Elven Forest from the Iris Kingdom."

"However, this is also the limit, and recently the Dark Mountains have also begun to infest those evil elves, and we have lost a lot of manpower."

The orc priest shook his head.

Hearing his words, Andris also frowned slightly.

Elves are the most valuable luxury slaves in the black market, and they are also the first capital of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce to make a fortune.

However, since last year, an elven true god who has inherited the priesthood of the World Tree has been born from the elven race, which has completely brought the trade of elven slaves into a trough......

This true god named Eve is rumored to be a slave god supported by death.

Last year, he defeated the orcs to defeat the Elven Forest, and he also assisted the Dark City-State Alliance of the Underworld to defeat the Dark City-State Alliance, which is a mythical existence that has become more and more popular for a year.

Legend has it that he borrowed the power of the Grim Reaper to create an undead elven legion, and it was with the power of the undead legion that he won many victories.

However, the specific details are full of rumors.

No one knows exactly what the so-called undead elven legion is all about.

Some say that it is an extraterrestrial visitor, some say that it is a dead elf undead, some say that it is an elf who has been eroded by the power of the abyss, and there are even rumors that there has never been an undead elf legion, because elves are not suitable to be warriors at all, and those so-called elven legions are all disguised by the heroic spirits of the god of death......

In a word...... Confusing and mysterious.

Even in the human world, many adventurers and troubadours have recently become curious about him, and there are many who plan to venture to the Elven Forest.

That is, this true god publicly announced that he would protect the elves, which led to fewer and fewer elves flowing into the black market, and those elf slaves who were originally living in peace also had a large-scale escape.

The profits of the Solon Chamber of Commerce have also taken a hit.

However, in the same way, the decrease in elven slaves has also led to an increase in price, and these three female elves, if they are sold now, I am afraid that they can easily sell for several times the price of a few years ago.

Thinking of this, Andris also felt a little comforted in his heart.

In the same way, he could almost predict that the orc's asking price would be even higher.

And sure enough, after showing him the elven slaves, the orc priest quickly whispered:

"And...... Now the royal court no longer allows us to capture elves, and requires that all elves that are caught must be executed on the spot...... Just these three, I secretly left them for you. ”

"I'm taking a big risk, so ...... Hey, hey, you know. ”

"Enough friends! I'll buy these three elves for double the price! ”

Andris patted the other man on the shoulder and said cheerfully.

Hearing his words, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the orc priest.

However, the surprise was seen by Andris, but he had a little disdain for the other party in his heart......

For orcs, the orders of the royal court often meant orders from the hunting church as well.

It is very possible for the black iron priest to deceive the upper and lower for profit, but it is the first time that a silver priest dares to disobey the orders of the royal court......

"A lower race is a lower race, and even the faith of the silver priests is not so religious."

Andris said with contempt in his heart.

Of course, it would not be so surprising if he knew that the other party was forcibly improved by the God of Winter and Hunting.

The transaction between the two parties was very pleasant.

While the men were busy carrying their goods, the two leaders continued to gossip about the recent events in the human world and in the deserts of death.

Intelligence is often a highly valuable resource.

"Hey, members of the Oak Hand have also appeared in the Kingdom of Iris recently, and they have destroyed several of our smuggling strongholds, which is really hateful......"

"It's all because of the appearance of evil gods in the Forest of Elves, otherwise...... We can still hunt there. ”

"Evil gods? But I've heard that the true God is true. ”

"Hey! If it weren't for the evil gods, how could they make the elves so evil? ”

"That's right, so...... Buying equipment and food, are you really planning to attack the Elven Forest again before winter? ”

"Mr. Andris, this involves our secrecy, even if we are friends, it is difficult to reveal the details."

"Cut, what are you doing in secret, I heard that the top management of our Chamber of Commerce is planning to send mercenaries to support you, everyone is an ally......"

"Really?"

"It seems that you don't know yet, in fact, our Sauron Chamber of Commerce is also very interested in the products of the Elven Forest, and it has been difficult to make a move......

"Hey, Mr. Andris, don't talk nonsense, the Elven Forest is our orcs!"

"I know, the Millennium Contract! But you didn't hold on! ”

"Who knew there would be an evil god?"

"It's back ......"

"Hey...... Anyway, our current strength is not what it used to be, this time we will definitely win, and we will definitely wash away the shame of last year, the evil god of the Elven Forest will not be arrogant for too long! ”

The orc priest said proudly.

Isn't it what it used to be......

Listening to the other party's words, Andris couldn't help but look at the active orcs around him.

Indeed, if you look at the strength of the clansmen, the orcs have improved too much.

Although reason told him that this was absolutely abnormal, the improvement in strength was real.

A tribe like Sharu's is just one of many small tribes of orcs.

They can all organize, and they plan to send an army of five hundred orcs, so it seems that the orcs in the desert are really going to pour out this time......

Lakh? Several hundred thousand?

The last time it was documented was a thousand years ago, right?

It seems that at that time, the half-orcs also poured out of the nest, and they also attacked the Elven Forest, and finally established their position on the continent.

Thinking about some of the historical knowledge he had learned, Andris sighed slightly:

"History is still similar......

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky.

The sun was still hot, and the clear blue sky was like a huge blue mirror.

Looking at the deep sky, Andris said with some surprise:

"Huh? It turns out that there are also mountain eagles in the Desert of Death? ”

"Mountain eagle?"

The orc priest frowned.

"We don't have any birds here."

He shook his head.

"Not a mountain eagle? That...... And what is it? ”

Andris was a little surprised, and a little confused.

"Huh?"

The orc priest followed his gaze—

There was not a single white cloud in the sky.

Only a small golden figure fanned its wings to hover over and ......

The figure was faint, like a golden mountain eagle.

However, the wings are a bit odd.

Suddenly, the golden figure began to lower......

And gradually, the two also saw each other's silhouettes clearly.

It's just that when they saw the outline clearly, they were even more surprised:

"Dragons?"

It was a small golden dragon.
