The Orc Grassland is 3.3 million square kilometers, and there are seventeen trading strongholds along the periphery of the grassland, and Warhammer Stronghold is one of them. The Warhammer Stronghold is one of the seventeen largest of the foreign trade hubs, and most caravans, whether entering or leaving the grasslands, as long as the destination is the Neville Federation, often passes through this stronghold. It is also for this reason that there are all kinds of different races in the stronghold, whether it is common humans and orcs, or uncommon dwarves and elves, and even the rare winged people and sea tribes, all the intelligent creatures that exist on the Yara continent may be seen in this stronghold, of course, the probability is very small.

Compared to the importance of status, the stronghold is really small, only two or three square kilometers. Seven or eight crude and old streets, more than a hundred dilapidated buildings that have been pecked by time, a ring of stone walls, and a few wooden arrow towers, these seemingly crumbling things all come together to form the largest trading post in the southern steppe.

Although the stronghold is small, it is fully functional, taverns, inns, shops, trading houses, warehouses, carriages and horses, animal pens, treatment centers, all functions can be found, and some service industries such as taverns and inn shops, and even competitors in the same industry, walking on the street, you can see all kinds of shops on the side of the road, no different from smaller cities. However, there are not many people here now, after all, spring is the off-season for trading, and there are no trade caravans, and if you pass through here in autumn, you will feel that it is full of people, and many people in that season have to sleep on the streets or even outside the walls of the trading base.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a wagon with a cabooning slowly drove into the stone gate of the stronghold. There are four orc guards guarding the gate on both sides of the gate, and there are many orc guards patrolling back and forth on the street, these guards are directly dispatched by the orc alliance and are responsible for maintaining the security of the stronghold.

"Several. The Warhammer stronghold has finally arrived. It was still Selassis who was driving the car, with a felt hat on his side to shield himself from the dazzling sunset, and he tore off the cloth towel tied around his collar to wipe his sweat, and turned back to the passengers of the adventure group in the carport and said, "I'm really sorry." It seems that I will only be able to spend the night in the stronghold tonight. ”

"It's not your fault, Mr. Selassis. Catherine lifted the canopy, jumped out of the car lightly, and secretly made the joints of her body rattle, and rejuvenated her body without walking a trace. Backhandedly helped Vivien out of the carriage, and then continued: "We know you don't want to arrive so late, but no one can do anything about such an unfortunate thing as a broken axle." ”

Several people hurried for two days in a row, but they did not expect that the next day, that is, at noon today, at a position more than thirty kilometers away from the Warhammer stronghold, because of the bumps in the road, the axle of the rear wheel suddenly broke, causing the carriage to break down on the road, and it was completely impossible to move forward. Thankfully, in order to cope with this situation. Each carriage had one or two spare axles on it, so that everyone had to carry a large amount of luggage and belongings and walk more than 30 kilometers to the stronghold. Sadly, however, when a few people came to the broken carriage, they found that no one could change the axles, and Vivian and Pennis, who knew some mechanics, had no countermeasures for this primitive machine, and could only look at the spare axles but had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, after all, it is a primitive machine, and it is a four-wheeled carriage, even if you don't understand it at all, you can find out the approximate installation method by comparing the structure of the front wheel. That's it. The five of them got together and worked hard for more than three hours before they could change the axles and get back on the road, but the girls' hearts were full of a sense of accomplishment when Pannis's words suddenly appeared: "More than three hours, if we start walking." It's almost time now' and there was nothing left to deal a blow at all, so the maidens brutally decided to drive the truth-telling Panis to the roof of the car to blow the wind, until Pannis peeked out of the canopy like a ghost and complained tearfully about their atrocities before he was reluctantly allowed to return to the car.

"Stop. Just as he was about to pass through the stone gate, several wolf guards at the gate stretched out their hands to stop the carriage: "There is no goods in the carriage?

"Adventurers. Catherine pulled out a special badge representing the adventurer: "I took the commission, and I came to meet the client." ”

"Hmm. Adventurers. One of the four wolf clansmen looked at Catherine's emblem carefully, then nodded and said, "Go inside, be careful inside." ”

"What's the matter, werewolf brother. Selassis asked in orc language, "I don't usually have such strict precautions, so something can't be wrong?" ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to be able to speak such pure orc dialect from a human mouth, and couldn't help but look Selassis up and down. As soon as he saw his image and temperament, the guards understood that this was a human living in the steppe tribe, and the serious expression on his face was immediately replaced by a friendly smile: "Which tribe is the human brother, in fact, it's not a big deal, mainly in the afternoon, there are people fighting, from restaurants to taverns, from taverns to inns, and everyone who can be beaten, including the patrol." ”

"Haha, doesn't that happen every day?" Selassis laughed: "If you don't fight a few times a day, can you still be considered a man on the prairie?"

"Hehe, this time it's a one-sided beating, the people of the wildebeest tribe usually look down on anyone, and they think they're very powerful, but this time it's not easy to be knocked down. The werewolf gloated and said, "Don't worry, I remind you to be careful so that you don't have any more conflicts, don't worry, go in with confidence." ”

"Thank you very much, werewolf brother. Selassis punched the werewolf in the chest a few times, making a muffled thumping sound, "Please drink when I pass by again in a few days." ”

"Well, I've been here all year this year. The werewolf's big hand slapped Selassis on the shoulder: "Waiting for your wine, hahaha." ”

"Well, there's a fight again. When Selassis was inquiring about the news over there, Pannis was doing simultaneous translation here, and Catherine said with a smile after hearing it: "Every time I hear the news of the orcs, why do you always have to do it with fights, troubles, and other things?"

"Orcs, who made them believe in the god of war?" said the truth casually that being heard might cause religious disputes: "Believers in the god of war, eating and fighting are necessities, and if you don't fight a few times a day, you will feel uncomfortable. In contrast, it is estimated that not letting them fight for a few days is more painful than not letting them eat for a few days. ”

"Don't be annoying. Lina secretly kicked Pannis's shin on the side: "If you want to say this kind of thing, you can also say it secretly, be careful that everyone will come and beat you up, and we will pretend not to know you when the time comes." ”

"You see, you admit it. Pannis snickered, "You also think that the solution to their problems is fists, and I'm telling the truth." ”

"I can't tell the truth because it's the truth. Lina glanced at Pannis: "It's true that everyone of them is violent, but the truth hurts the most." ”

"Actually, it's a bit of a shame to say that everyone is like this. Pannis said: "There are a few elders in their ancestral temple who are still very peace-loving, well, there are also in the temple of the god of war, but there are very few. Actually, we've just met one, have you forgotten?"

"Have we met?" Catherine asked in surprise, "Why don't I remember?"

A few people walked and chatted, and walked along the simple street all the way to the tavern near the south gate of the stronghold, where, according to Selassis, they made an appointment with the Tiger Clan who entrusted the mission, and met here. The tavern was small, and looked as dilapidated as the rest of the buildings, and as soon as Catherine opened the old door, she heard a loud moan wafting from the tavern, a cry of anguish from a number of people.

"Why do you have to come to me for trouble?" a female voice sounded as gentle and calm as the water of the lake, "I just came here to eat, wait for people, and then find a place to stay, why do you have to fight with me? Look at the beasts and monsters on the grassland, unless they are for survival, they will never attack each other for no reason, this is the true meaning of the God of War's teaching, and blindly seeking battle like you has long deviated from the original intention of the God of War's teaching. Seeking victory in battle, but loving peace in life, this is what a devout disciple of the god of war should do, do you understand? Come, read to me, peace is the truth of the world, and the pursuit of victory is the means to pursue peace. ”

In the tavern, the few passing guests volunteered to give up the space in the center of the tavern, and seven or eight bear men in guard skin armor lay there together, their mouths constantly wailing in pain. A tall and sturdy female warrior carrying a two-handed giant sword nearly one person tall was sitting cross-legged on one of the victims, her face full of piety and solemnity, and she was very patient to explain the teachings of the victims all over the ground. Not far from the female warrior, the tiger man who had met once in the capital of knowledge was standing awkwardly, helpless and not knowing how to deal with such a situation.

"Now, peace-loving God of War believers. Pannis pouted at the female warrior Nunu: "Isn't there just one?"

"Miss Marcia, how did you meet again so soon?" Seeing the female warrior, Catherine was also stunned, and was very impressed by this female warrior who seemed to be completely unthinking along the way, and acted entirely on Panis's orders, and was a little happy to see her appear here: "What are you...... No, it turns out that the gold-level professional who passed by the client mentioned by the client is you. ”

"Yo, girl, meet again. Pannis also waved and said, "I didn't expect you to sweat and do some strenuous exercise here after two months." ”

"Hey, Mr. Pannis, I finally see you, and I miss me. Marcia of the God of War Church rushed towards Panniz in surprise, grabbed Pannis's arm with both hands, and said with an expectant face: "I'm hungry, I want to eat the chowder stew and hash browns you made." ”

"Heh, heh, heh. Pannis sighed in breakdown, "Should I cry or laugh at this time?" (To be continued.) )
