40. What is an orc...... Person?
"Yo, you're back." Seeing Lin Wen come out of the grass, Sogesi, who was guarding the side of the convoy, shouted to Lin Wen from all walks of life. "Did you find anything?"
"Those spiny beasts aren't wild." Lin Wen dragged the corpse of the "Gnoll" to the side of the road, and the strange appearance of the corpse immediately caused a burst of exclamation, "It was these guys who controlled and summoned the Thorn Beast, who of you knows what kind of creature this is?" ”
"This thing ......" Thorgeth touched the head of the blood-stained corpse on the ground, and after a few seconds of careful examination, he looked up in disbelief and said, "It's an orc!" ”
Alien orcs, when it comes to alien orcs, I have to say that the native race orcs on the Acala continent, compared to humans, the orcs on the Acala continent just have some more beast characteristics, various ears and tails or something, and they still look quite pleasing to the eye.
The orcs and orcs have a deep relationship, and it can even be said that the two sides are the same race, but the origin of the orcs starts with the invasion of demons.
At the beginning, the location of the demon spirit to establish the empire was next to the orc empire, and the unstoppable demon spirit army immediately rushed the tribal orc empire to pieces, except for some races on the border of the orc empire who escaped, most of the races in the hinterland of the orc empire were either slaughtered or enslaved by the demon spirit, and the alien orcs were new species made by the demon spirit through a series of experiments with the enslaved orcs as the main body.
Cruel, bloodthirsty, tall and strong, infinitely powerful, and can eat everything, the high fertility is terrifying, and the short growth time is almost negligible, this is the slave and cannon fodder of the demon army - the alien orcs.
At this time, the demon spirit was blocked on the other side of the Iron Gate Fortress, and it stands to reason that the alien orcs should not cross the Iron Gate Fortress, but the corpse of the alien orcs in front of them is real and cannot be faked, plus the demon spirit team that attacked Medin City before, so does it mean that the demon spirit has found a way to let the army cross the Hengduan Mountain Range and the Iron Gate Fortress?
This is terrible! Kiss!
Full of questions, the convoy continued on its way.
"It's pretty good." Sitting in the car, Sogers handed the G18 pistol and the only two remaining magazines to Lin Wen, "It's just that the bullet is not disabled, and it will be gone in a while." ”
"If you want, give me the materials and I'll make one for you." Lin Wen took the pistol, took out the magazine to see, and found that it was empty, so he put away the empty magazine and inserted it with a full bullet.
"Really?" Hearing Lin Wen say this, Sogers also became interested, "I want to make a powerful one with a slow rate of fire, what materials do you need?" By the way, it must be sturdy and easy to maintain. ”
"Great power, easy to maintain...... Lin Wen thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, "3 100 steel ingots, 10 iron ingots, if you can find the materials, I will order one for you." ”
"Okay! That's it! Thorgus danced with excitement and almost fell off the truck.
The journey from Medin City to Redstone Mountain was not close, and it took at least a day and a night to walk at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage, and the whole journey was extremely difficult due to the attacks of thorny beasts from time to time.
But fortunately, they didn't encounter a large group of alien orcs, otherwise the only dozen or so people in this convoy would not be enough for the alien orcs to stuff their teeth.
After a day and a night, everyone in the convoy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the lakeside town at the foot of Red Rock Mountain.
At the foot of the Red Rock Mountains there is a large, deep lake named Zhishui Lake, after which the lakeside town is named. To get to Lakeside Town, you need to cross the bridge over Zhishui Lake, but now more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers are standing in front of the bridge.
"Parking! Routine checks! A soldier stopped in front of the convoy and motioned for it to stop, "Who are you?" What are you here for? ”
"We're grocers running merchants, and the cars in the back are full of merchandise for sale." Hall, the owner of the convoy, said to the soldier as he got out of the lead carriage.
"You two go check it out." One of the soldiers tilted his head and said to the two soldiers standing nearby. "Do you have identification?" Then the corporal turned to Hall and asked.
"Yes, yes." Hall hurriedly took out a large stack of paperwork from the space backpack, which was the identification of everyone in the caravan, in the current troubled times, it was impossible to move without identification.
Just as the corporal was checking the identities of the people in the convoy one by one, Lin Wen found that Sogers was running towards the corporal with two small short legs.
"Pierce! OMG! I haven't seen you for a year, and you've become a corporal! Thorgeth looked at the corporal named Pierce and shouted excitedly.
"You're ......" Looking at the short man who called out his name, Pierce was momentarily confused.
"I'm Thorgeth!" Sogers grabbed his helmet and revealed his old face covered by a thick beard, "I came here once last year, you only joined the army at that time, and you came to Lao Tzu every day to ask for wine!" ”
"Ahhh Thorgeth! Hearing Sogers say this, Pierce also remembered, and couldn't help but point to Sogers's nose and smile, "I remember!" Why, a year has passed, and you have finally reached the Black Iron Rank? ”
"I was on the Black Iron Rank half a year ago! Now it's the middle of the black iron. Thorgeth said as he motioned for Lin Wen to come over, "Let me introduce, this is called Carley, a Black Iron Tier Hunter, and he is also an adventurer like me. The two of us escorted this caravan to Redstone Mountain. ”
After a while, the inspection of the caravan was over, and Hale signed his name on the mission card and led the caravan across the bridge into Lakeside Town, after all, he was a merchant, and time was money for a merchant.
"Hey, Sogth, did you find anything special on your way to Lakeside this time?" Watching the caravan walk away, Pierce asked Thorgeth quietly.
"Yes." Thorgeth nodded, then took a sip of wine and said with some concern, "We met the Orcs. ”
"What?!" Thorgeth's answer startled Pierce, "Do you know what it means for an orc to appear around here?" Don't talk nonsense! ”
"Three orcs to be exact, they controlled the thorny beast to attack the caravan just now." Lin Wen took a step forward, took out a bloody package from his backpack and handed it to Pierce, "Now that they're dead, I just don't know if there are any other orcs around here." ”
The package emitted a strong fishy smell, which made Pierce frown, and Pierce forced himself to open the package with nausea, and there was a strange dog head covered in blood, very similar to the so-called alien orc.
"Come here." Pierce called a soldier and handed him the package in his hand, "Give this to Mayor Solomon, and say it's a humanoid creature that two mercenaries encountered on the road." ”
Looking at the soldier's distant back, Pierce sighed: "If that head is really an orc, we will be in big trouble." ”
