Chapter 31: The Orcs Are About to Rise
On the orc side, seeing that the main force of the attack had been completely wiped out, and that there was a mage hidden on the other side, the centaurs who were rushing on the periphery fired a volley into the carriage formation, and roared to remind the other orcs that it was time to retreat together.
Driven away by the orc raiders, the caravan began to light losses and clean up the battlefield.
"Thank you, Master Mage, for your help. The centurion and several caravan leaders came to Wright to thank him.
"You're welcome, I'm also being protected by the caravan, and it's right to make some contributions to the caravan. By the way, you can just call me Wright, you don't have to call me Lord. ”
"Yes, Master Wright. ”
Wright didn't bother to correct it, and after sending the others away, he said to the centurion, "What's your name, and can you tell me about the orcs building the city now?"
"Of course. My name is Mondstadt, please come with me, and we'll talk as we go. ”
Centurion Mondstadt led Wright to an empty carriage and said to Wright, "As a thank you for your help, the caravan has provided you with a one-man carriage and some gold coins. ”
Seeing Wright's hesitation, Mondstadt continued, "You helped the soldiers capture a lot of captives, and they sold them for much more than just these gold coins, so you can take them with confidence. ”
Wright then nodded and accepted.
The convoy moved forward again, and Wright got into the carriage, and the centurion rode around the carriage, telling Wright about the orc city as he went.
"There is news from the military that the Frosthan clan has given birth to a commander with both strong force and high intelligence, named Gesare. He led the Frosthan clan to unite all the orcs in the northern Baierlun region to form a large united clan that they called the Horde, and Gesare became the first Horde's High Chief and Shaman High Priest. In addition, they not only integrated the orcs, but also absorbed the orcs of other races, and he was able to make the orcs of all races live in harmony and even cooperate with each other. ”
"So, he's a powerful orc with a strong force and shaman's natural magic, and he also has extraordinary eyesight and commanding ability?"
"Yes, he is the son of the previous chief of the Frosthan clan, his talent is unparalleled, and he has received an elite education since he was a child, and has cultivated an unusually brilliant eye and skill. ”
Mondstadt remembered something, and continued, "By the way, I heard that he also got an artifact called the Thunder Blade, which is a huge two-handed sword, I heard that there is a man who is tall and long, and the width of three palms, and when he attacks, it comes with the power of lightning and thunder, and it is infinitely powerful. ”
"So big?" But Wright, thinking about the half-orc physique, felt that it was not so inconsistent.
"His mount is said to be the lion king of a grassland, white, noble and powerful. ”
"Overall, the rise of orcs is unstoppable. ”
"yes, I hope they'll be peace-loving..."Mondstadt was visibly worried about the rise of the orcs.
But do orcs really love peace? Wright felt that it was more realistic to imagine that there would be no more war between the human kingdoms.
Along the way, Wright learns about the current distribution of Kelseri's forces through conversations with Mondstadt.
Setrian, the kingdom of man, is located in the southeast of Kelseli, by the sea. Setlian and the Wood Elf Kingdom to the west are bounded by the Kemir Plains, and they operate independently, do not interfere with each other, and even have a good relationship.
To the north of Setlian is the Hengduan Mountains, and north of the mountains is the territory of the orcs. The place where Gesare built the city was located in the northeast near the sea, and they were building a port at the same time as they built the city.
The orcs scattered all over the place are converging to the northeast of Kelseri, and their strength is bound to become stronger and stronger.
The future trend is not Wright's turn to worry about for the time being, after all, he is now only a mid-level martial arts cultivator and a junior mage.
"You have to get stronger. Wright's heart was filled with a thirst for power. Although the power of the bloodline has brought him a strong basic advantage, if he wants to become stronger, he still needs to go through his own hard training.
Wright didn't dare to let up in the slightest, and after finishing his conversation with Mondstadt, he closed his eyes and began to meditate, expanding the capacity of his magic and exercising his mastery of the elements.
The caravan made its way through the Kaimir Plains and through the Tall Wood Basin before finally arriving at the Wood Elves' town in the northern part of the Land of Sorrows.
Wright had seen wood elves when he was a child, after all, his father's footprints were all over Elzes.
The Wood Elves are a group of pointy ears that are usually peaceful, but they don't die after they get married.
Wood elves are generally taller than humans, with dark purple skin, tall and handsome figures, and of course the most representative are the pair of pointed ears.
Wright said goodbye to Centurion Mondstadt and headed south alone.
There are many forest swamps to the north of the Land of Sorrows, and the further south you go, the drier the land becomes, and the more scarce the water flow becomes.
When walking through the Great Rift Valley in the south-central part of the Land of Sorrows, all that remains is the cracked yellow earth.
