"It's worthy of an empire, and it's extraordinary." Barr exclaimed.

"The city is a magic golem?" Asaph's eyes widened.

Barr nodded, "Not bad." ”

The Orc Empire, which has existed since the end of antiquity, has a territory spanning the East and West Continents, and can be said to be the most powerful force in the entire Red Earth Continent.

And the Minotaur Legion, as one of the most powerful legions in the entire Orc Empire, is not only a strong soldier, but also equipped with the latest strategic weapons of the Empire. Of course, the core production technology of these strategic weapons is in the hands of the royal family, and the Minotaur clan does not have the ability to make them.

Although the Imperial Family is wary of the Minotaurs, the security of the border is more important than that. At the end of the day, the Minotaurs are still a member of the orc race, and the Human Alliance is the real threat to the Orc Empire.

"Let's go, let's go." Baldau.

"Yes."

"Keep up." Asaph waved.

The team continued on towards the city gate.

Soon, Barr and the others rushed to the south gate, and everyone put away their mounts and walked towards the city gate.

At this time, two arches rose from the metal walls on both sides of the city gate, and two teams of minotaur soldiers in black armor rushed over, and said expressionlessly: "Stop, this is the residence of the Minotaur legion, who are you?" ”

"I'm the commander of the 1st Corps and the 2nd Brigade, Bar Dressa, and I'm here on orders from the Imperial Army." Barr took out his Commander's Token and handed it to a tall minotaur soldier in front of him.

"Oh." As soon as the tall minotaur took the token, he took out a blue crystal ball, which glowed brightly and shone on both Baal and the token.

Dididi, confirm that it passes.

"Elder Thousand." The soldiers saluted, and the tall minotaur in front turned and shouted, "Open the door." ”

Blala~

The hundred-meter-high gate in front of him instantly spread out, turning into countless metal blocks and merging into the walls on both sides, and a passage tens of meters wide immediately appeared in front of him.

"Rub, that's amazing." Several adventurers in the back exclaimed.

When Barr and the others arrived at their destination, most of the adventurers were also online.

"My lord, please follow me." The tall minotaur turned and walked away, and Barr and the others followed all the way.

The streets of the city are very wide, with an unknown layer of black metal on the ground, and the streets are lined with rows of black military camps, and groups of minotaur soldiers in black armor are patrolling the streets.

"There is another lord, so young, I guess which young master came to us to mix military merits."

"These soft eggs, just don't mess with us."

There were some soldiers chatting at the front of the barracks.

"Shut up for me, don't you want to live, Lord Lord, you can also talk about it." A low cheer came from the rear, and a minotaur in armor with two war hammers at his waist walked out of the barracks, looking like an officer.

"Centurion."

"Centurion."

Several minotaur soldiers immediately got up.

"There will be a lot of imperial lords coming in the past two days, you guys should keep your mouth tight for me, don't make trouble for yourself, understand?" The Minotaur Centurion said with a cold face.

"Yes." Several soldiers nodded hurriedly.

......

"Military merit, this is a good thing." Baal secretly said that since he advanced to the leader level, not only has his strength increased greatly, but his five senses have also become extremely sharp, and the conversation of the soldiers not far away just now naturally reached his ears word for word.

Military merit is a reward given by the empire to the soldiers of the army.

Ordinary soldiers can be promoted to officers and even nobles through accumulated military merit.

Of course, for lords like Baal, military merit can be used more extensively, not only as a resource for promotion, but also for exchanging various resources for the empire, and if you have a sufficient number of military merits, you can even directly exchange it for the help of the empire.

"Your Excellency." The tall and strong minotaur said as he walked, "This is an important place for the corps, and the military discipline is strict, and I hope that the adults can restrain your soldiers and not violate the imperial military discipline." ”

"This is natural." Barr said.

In a short time, the people came to the west of the city, where there was a large area of military camps of the same style, and some of the northern ones were already occupied, and most of them were still empty.

"Your Excellency." The tall and strong minotaur pointed to the rows of empty barracks in front of him, "Now the lords from all over the country have not yet arrived, according to the order of the corps commander, this is the camp area of your lords, and when it comes to tomorrow, the corps commander will summon all the lords and arrange combat missions." ”

"If the adults are all right, I'll leave."

"Okay." Barr nodded.

The tall minotaur turned away, and Barr took up residence in the empty barracks, and he specially instructed Asaph to keep an eye on the adventurers, who had always been bold and reckless, and it would not be good to make any trouble.

Squeak.

Barr pushed open the room and walked in.

The barracks was large, and the interior was divided into small rooms, and Barr approached the leftmost room.

"Well, it's not bad." Despite their rough exterior, the black barracks were cleanly furnished inside, with a single bed on the left, a set of tables and chairs on the right, magic lamps and pen and paper on the tables, and the Imperial flag and the Minotaur flag hanging from the walls above.

After several days of hurrying, Barr was also a little tired, and just lay down on the bed to rest.

......

Early the next morning when I came here.

"Lord Baal." A neutral voice rang out in Barr's room, "The corps commander has an order, please go to the command post of the left battalion. ”

Barr opened his eyes.

A blue, translucent rabbit phantom floats in the air, making it appear to be a virtual image.

Moment.

"My lord, please follow me." The rabbit phantom walked out with that, and Barr hurriedly followed.

......

Left battalion command post, conference hall.

In the middle is a large round table, surrounded by a circle of chairs, on which several figures sit.

Baal looked around, there were a total of eight people at the round table, including him, except for the commander of the Seventeenth Corps, the remaining seven were all imperial lords, and they were all mayors of various towns, it seemed that this mission was not ordinary.

Barr looked up.

Sitting at the top of the position was a female minotaur wearing a black sacrificial robe, who looked to be twenty or thirty years old, but as the strength of the professional increases, the life span will also increase significantly, and the real age is difficult to see from the face, the black-robed woman has a cold gaze, and when she glances at it, everyone is nervous.

"The strong man is definitely a leader-level figure." Barr thought to himself.

The black-robed woman retracted her gaze and said with an indifferent expression: "You are all lords of the clan, and this time I summoned you to come, which is also the meaning of the Council of Elders." ”

Barr and the others listened quietly.

"The monster anomalies around the Blackstone Mountain Range must be known to you, so I won't say more." The black-robed woman continued, "According to the information we have so far, the reason why these monsters are berserk and abnormal is probably related to a strange black energy. ”

"Well, it looks like the Empire has discovered those black mist as well." Barr said darkly.

"This black energy is very weird, extremely aggressive, and once it enters the body, it will affect the sanity of the living being, causing it to go berserk." The black-robed woman continued, "My purpose this time is twofold. ”

"One is to destroy the monsters gathered around the Blackstone Mountain Range, and the other is to investigate the source of these black energies."

"As for the source of these energies, we have generally ascertained, but we still need to collect a certain amount of black energy to determine the exact location of the source," the black-robed woman said, "The combat mission is carried out by the 17th Corps and the Guards Corps, and your task is to collect enough black energy." ”

"What, collect black energy? Captain Caroline, are you kidding? ”

"These energies are so dangerous, isn't that sending us to death?"

Everyone exploded in an instant, they are dignified imperial lords, although it is reasonable to pay for the tribe as a minotaur, but it is better to send them to death.

Barr's face was calm.

A few of them are not ordinary people, even if one of them dies here, it will cause a lot of trouble, since Caroline has arranged for them to carry out the task of collecting energy, she must have a perfect plan

"Quiet!" The black-robed woman frowned, and a terrifying oppressive force permeated the surroundings, as if even the air was cold.

The crowd immediately closed their mouths.

Caroline shook her head.

In recent years, the conflict between the Minotaur and the Lion and Tiger has deepened.

The lion and tiger tribes not only need the strength of the minotaurs to fight against the human alliance, but also fear that the minotaur clan will grow bigger and lose control, and they will be harmonious on the surface, but secretly they will be suppressed everywhere. In order to survive, the Minotaur clan urgently needs to increase their strength, and the contradictions between the two are irreconcilable.

If you want to increase your strength, you need more resources and more and more powerful professionals.

Territory is a top priority.

As the territory is upgraded, the lord can continuously recruit high-level soldiers, which is much simpler than spending a lot of resources to train a professional, and the additional effects of various buildings in the territory are also very powerful, which can not only create a lot of benefits, but also help the growth of the territory professional.

Therefore, the Council of Elders is also trying its best to support those Minotaur towns, hoping that new cities will be born, but the Minotaur clan lacks resources and can only provide some help on the side.

The reason why these lords were summoned this time was also to let them earn some military merits.

As for the task of collecting black energy, although it sounds dangerous, it is actually the safest task of the trip.
