Chapter 7: Movements in Thrace

The next morning, looking at the map, the panda pondered for a while, and continued all the way west with the horse king.

In addition to the electronic map of the system, he also has a world map drawn by the Raiders team. This map is naturally drawn according to the map in the game, and the strategy team spent a long time discussing and restoring it little by little, racking their brains to restore this map as much as possible.

Comparing the two maps, he roughly judged that the nearest large city to him was the famous "nomadic city" of Mulandana in the eastern part of the Thracian Kingdom.

The city is a rare city without walls, the whole city is full of nomadic style, a large number of orcs live here, and the main business of the city is also trade with orcs.

A long time ago, before the Kingdom of Thrace was founded, a republic was formed by seven or eight nearby cities with this nomadic city as its core. The founders of the Republic were a group of druids who believed that humans and orcs should live in peace. They united forces to establish the small republic, which existed for many years.

Later, the Kingdom of Thrace arose and conquered the republic. At first, the rulers of Thrace wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the steppes, but after a few battles, they found that the gains outweighed the losses, and the benefits of occupying those lands were far less than the cost of defending against the endless variety of monsters and the constant harassment and invasion of the orcs on the steppes.

After the death of a crown prince and a dozen nobles, the Thracian kingdom had to withdraw its troops from the steppe and reach a rapprochement with the orcs.

In order to alleviate the tension between the two sides, the nomadic city was restored to its old style, becoming a central buffer between the orcs and Thrace.

One of the important goals of the panda's trip north is to see the life of the orcs and appreciate the customs and customs that are completely different from human culture. While it's better to be able to find orc pastures, living in a nomadic city for a while can be a worthwhile option.

Moreover, the nomadic city of Muradana is a very important city in the game, with a lot of plots and quests, which are worth exploring.

He did not rush to ride a horse, but walked side by side with the king of horses, walking on the steppe without hurrying or slow.

"When you get to town, I'll prepare a pair of reins for you. He said, "And the saddle." ”

Ma Wang obviously didn't understand what it was, but that didn't prevent him from seeing the clue in the panda's attitude, and scoffed at it with disdain, looking like "I don't know anything like you".

Panda smiled and said, "By the way, and the bridle and the horseshoe, do you think you need these?"

Ma Wang shook his head again and again, it can bet that what the panda said is definitely not a good thing.

"Don't like it, but the saddle and reins are definitely needed, otherwise I'll ride on your back, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to sit steadily. ”

Ma Wang screamed twice, with a bit of disdain.

"It's true that my riding skills are not very good, but I can practice them. As long as you cooperate, it won't be long before I can practice good riding skills. ”

The panda said on a whim, patted the horse king on the shoulder, rolled over and jumped up, and sat on his back.

The King did not resist very violently, but trotted briskly. But it's such a trot, and it's already bumpy that the panda is dizzy.

Even though he was still able to barely keep his balance, the feeling of the bumps was really uncomfortable.

Now he understood that it was no wonder that a man on a horse must need reins and a saddle, that without stirrups to step on his feet, without reins to pull his body, without the backrest of a saddle, it is simply a difficult vaudeville job for a man to sit on the back of a running horse!

After about ten minutes, he slowly got used to this kind of thing.

The "Riding Skill" in the character's skills has been activated, and the skill proficiency is growing rapidly with the naked eye, probably due to the high level of the horse he is riding.

In the game, the skill of riding is very useful, it can provide riding speed and attack and defense bonuses, allowing players to ride more advanced mounts, and even a prerequisite for various riding skills.

For example, the skill "Cavalry Assault" requires a level of 10 or higher riding skills.

Panda's riding skill is now level 0...... Oh, it's level 1 now, and it's still a long time before you can assault on horseback.

However, according to the current trend, it is probably not difficult to upgrade your riding skills to level 10.

As it turned out, he was not wrong.

A few days later, when he saw the silhouette of the dark city on the west side of the horizon in the distance, his riding skills had been upgraded to level 10, and the "Cavalry Assault" generic to his branch skills had been activated.

However, the follow-up of cavalry skills generally requires a corresponding profession. There are only a few that the Panda, a holy warrior, can learn such as "Holy Charge", and there is still a gap compared to real professional knights.

And as he got used to riding the king of horses, his riding skills improved more and more slowly. Probably after getting used to it, you won't get extra bonuses.

As they got closer to the city, they finally met the orcs as well.

Or rather, orc caravans.

Those caravans were led by powerful warriors and experienced shamans, and the vast grasslands were full of dangers, and it was not enough to rely on bravery or wisdom alone.

A strong man like Panda, he can guarantee the safety of his own person. But if he wants to ensure the safety of an entire caravan, even if he can't catch it, he needs the experience of those elders to avoid all kinds of dangers.

The panda patted the king of horses on the head, causing him to change direction slightly, and walked towards a group of caravans that were hurrying nearby.

This group of caravans is dominated by werewolves, they are not very tall, but they are full of energy, and at a glance you know that they are all strong heroes. They rode horses and drove ox carts pulled by more than 20 sturdy oxen, and walked on the grassland without hurrying or slow.

Seeing the panda approaching on the mighty and majestic blue-toothed horse, a werewolf rode up to greet him and greeted him: "Friend from afar, which tribe are you from?"

The panda touched his nose, then remembered that he was also an orc, and couldn't help but smile.

"I'm a wanderer. He said, "Some time ago, I wandered in the Golden Oak Kingdom in the south, and during this time I suddenly missed the grassland, and I came back. ”

The so-called "Golden Oak Kingdom" refers to the powerful country in the south of the Western Continent, the Terella Kingdom. It is nicknamed because the main body of the flag is a golden oak tree, similarly, the Kingdom of Thrace is nicknamed "Eagle", the Commonwealth of Mercantile Lays is nicknamed "Gold Coins and Ships", the Republic of Western Bunlyka is nicknamed "Tiger and Whale", and the Kingdom of Leighton is nicknamed "Snow Deer...... All are named because of the pattern of their national flag.

Hearing that he was a wanderer, the werewolf was not surprised - this situation is very common among orcs, and most of the orc adventurers across the continent are such wanderers.

"You've walked so much!" he lamented, "I really envy you well-informed people! Sometimes I want to leave everything behind and wander the world, but I can't let go of things in the tribe......"

Panda notices that he wears a necklace made of gems and animal teeth around his neck, a passive skill hint, which is the sign of the orc tribal chief.

"You run a tribe, and you have a lot of responsibility. ”

"yes...... Men are like this, no matter how much they want to go out for a walk, they can't let go of the elderly and children at home. The werewolf said, "I am the Iron Mane of the Tall Tree Tribe, the Iron Mane Tall Tree. My tribe generally operates here in the northeast, and it takes about ten days to cross two small hills and walk on horses. If you have time to pass by, be sure to come and sit where we can! I want to hear the stories you have seen and heard during your wanderings. ”

"No problem!" Panda smiled and nodded, then asked, "Is there anything going on with Mulanda lately?"

"Nothing...... If you have to ask something...... Thrace has suddenly recruited troops among our orcs during this time, and I don't know what they are thinking. ”

The panda's eyes shrank slightly, and he was secretly worried in his heart.

Although they changed the fate of the Tara Khanate, Thrace was clearly still preparing for war.

The fluttering wings of a butterfly are not enough to turn into a storm that sweeps the world.
