Chapter 1: Falling Cold Mountain

July 4, 1004, Luohan Mountains, Zhige Gorge

The Falling Cold Mountain Defense Line - the border between civilization and barbarism. Warm winds blow from the south, flowers spread all over the mountains, forests are lush, wild beasts and monsters come out to roam and forage, and nature is full of life.

The caravan traveled all the way north to the river, arriving at its destination in a day and a night.

Nalan Yan is wearing a light white travel coat, a white mink bear cape, white deerskin gloves on both hands, and her jet-black hair is simply tied up and tied into a refreshing and neat ponytail.

"Miss, we're going to land!"

The maid Xiaoxue stood beside her, dressed in a women's samurai attire, with a hat on her head and a long sword hanging from her waist.

"Is this the cold mountain?" Nalan Yan appeared in his field of vision, all of them towering into the clouds, making people daunting, the blue sky and the sky were extremely clear, when looking at it from a distance, the top of the mountain peak was still covered with snow, like a tall giant with white hair but still majestic, "It's so spectacular, Mu Yun once crossed these mountains and arrived at the other end, I really don't know how to do it." ”

There were two people standing behind Nalan Yan.

One of them is the loyal maid Xiaoxue, and the other is Meng Hu, a black-faced giant with a bear-like body.

Meng Hu had a look of pride on his face, and he was also a participant in that adventure.

Meng Hu borrowed the Silver Marrow Pill to become a great martial artist, and after accumulating a lot, in a short period of time, his true qi was improved by one star, and now he is a 32-star great martial artist. The mission of this trip is to protect Nalan Yan and at the same time ensure the safe completion of the transaction.

The shore is getting closer.

On Nalan Yan's lychee-like delicate and beautiful jade face, there was a trace of apprehension,

Mu Yun gave her the task for the first time, I really hope there won't be any accidents!

Nalan Yan set off only after being fully prepared, and first negotiated with the city lord, Lan Yue gave very high support and help to the caravan, and gave a total of two military transport ships to Nalan Yan. A military transport ship is slightly modified to become a cargo ship, with a very high loading capacity, better performance than ordinary cargo ships, and maneuvering devices, and the speed is very fast.

Baicheng's assistance to the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce is not only this, Nalan Yan has also obtained 300 black-armored archers as escorts on this trip to ensure the successful completion of the mission. Nalan Yan hired another 500 snow wolf mercenaries and brought 100 domesticated orcs, this armed force was enough to form a not weak army.

And that's not all!

When Nalan Yan was still preparing in Baicheng, he first sent a letter to the outpost corps of Luohan Mountain, and Li Bao, the commander-in-chief of the outpost army of the Luohan Mountain defense line, got the news and transferred elites from several outposts, organized about 2,000 soldiers, and first filled the Zhige Gorge to stand by.

With such thorough preparation, you can probably prevent accidents from happening!

Two large cargo ships docked.

The orcs left the ship first with heavy boxes.

When the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce sold five hundred orcs at one time in Baicheng, it deliberately kept a few half-orcs from different tribes for later use. Lan Yue bought back some captive orcs in prisons around the city with a lot of money, and in a few weeks, they had been trained very obediently, and they were bound by the slave brand, so there was basically no possibility of rebellion.

The half-orcs have lived in Baicheng for just over 20 days, eating and drinking well to become fat and strong, and they are no longer the yellow and thin faces they looked like when they came.

Meng Hu commanded loudly: "Hurry up, all of them will be sent to the canyon, and they must be completed before dark!"

The orcs lined up in groups of two or three, carrying heavy boxes, the heaviest and largest boxes handed over to them. Although the orcs were commanded, they were not dissatisfied, and they all honestly carried the boxes forward.

This scene was seen by outsiders.

I'm afraid I will be speechless in surprise.

Orcs would be willing to work for the Terrans, which is very rare in history.

These orcs are not the Nine Great Clans, they are not the half-orcs of medium and large ordinary tribes, they are just members of small tribes. He was hungry all year round, did not eat well, did not dress well, did not live well, and was bullied by the big tribe. Although the ferocious nature of orcs is difficult to erase, they are bound by the brand of slaves and disciplined, and they can be domesticated quickly.

When Mu Yun brought the orcs back to the White City, the orcs were still shocked and angry, and when they were branded and began life training, the orcs discovered the benefits of a rich human city.

Orcs are adaptable.

Each person was given a bamboo mat and let them live in a firewood room, and the orcs would feel very comfortable.

Orcs are never picky eaters.

Expired bread, steamed buns, or simply cooked meat, or low-quality wine, the orcs all take it as they are, and eat them with relish.

From the point of view of the orcs, although they were captured in the Terran city, they could live in the most comfortable places, eat the freshest and delicious food, have free equipment, and their usual tasks were very simple. It's just that the slave brand is a little annoying, but as long as the orcs don't use the killing intent on the human race, the brand power will not be activated.

This can be overcome!

The Terran city is like a perfect paradise, and now the orcs are willing to work for the Terrans. At this time, Nalan Yan drove the orcs back to the plateau, and these orcs were definitely unwilling to go.

A team of thousands of people lined up in a long line, and a large amount of supplies were transported to the Zhige Canyon in Luohan Mountain.

Li Bao waited at the mouth of the canyon for a long time. Because of Nalan Yan's outstanding beauty and temperament, Li Bao recognized her from a long distance, and immediately greeted her and said, "Miss Nalan, I am the commander-in-chief of the Outpost Army, welcome to Zhige Canyon." ”

Nalan Yan smiled politely and said, "General Li doesn't have to be polite, Mu Yun mentioned you and said that you are a very good and responsible front-line guard, and now you are really different." ”

Li Baolang smiled heartily: "Lord Muyun has said it. ”

Nalan Yan said, "Please take us to the camp." ”

Li Bao nodded: "Yes, please follow me." ”

When Nalan Yan walked into the canyon, he often saw figures on both sides, all of them were sentinels wearing military uniforms and holding bows and arrows, and the entire canyon was heavily defended. It took about a few dozen minutes to walk. The terrain in the center of the canyon is relatively open, and a camp made of stone has appeared, the wall is stacked very high, and the cliff wall next to it is chiseled, engraved with four big characters "Muyun Camp"!

In the camp were large flags sewn from nine animal skins.

Hell Song, Blade of Fire, Claw of Frost, Axe of the Black Dragon...... It was the famous Nine Great Clans on the plateau, and the orcs left their banners here, undoubtedly to send a message to the other orcs. This place has been occupied, it is the territory of our tribe, and any orc force that dares to do anything here will not be able to get along with our tribe.

There is no need to send someone to handle it, the nine-pole flag is the best deterrent!

The banners of the nine major clans are planted in the canyon, not to mention the small and medium-sized tribes who come to invade, any of the nine flags appears, which is enough to scare any tribe, and it is too late to escape. If you accidentally offend the Nine Great Clans, it won't take a few days for one of the Nine Pole Flags to fly over their tribe.

"This ......" Nalan Yan showed a surprised expression, the camp was much bigger than expected, "This is the camp built by Mu Yun?"

Li Bao walked beside Nalan Yan and said very respectfully, "No, the camp was built with the help of the orcs!"

Nalan Yan showed a puzzled expression: "What's going on, how can a half-orc do things for the human race?"

Li Bao smiled, and he replied, "More than three weeks ago, Mu Yun built a simple camp in the canyon as a trading place. When the trade was about to end, a group of orcs were provoked by the Akatsuki cult to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and the camp was destroyed by the storm. In order to continue to maintain trade with Lord Muyun, the nine clans sent 500 orcs from each tribe to build a strong camp wall and a simple stone house in less than 20 days. ”

An expression of disbelief flashed in Nalan Yan's eyes: "The masters of the nine major clans are like clouds, and there are more than ten or twenty earth martial artists, and this kind of force will actually bow to Mu Yun?"

Li Bao replied: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, Li can't imagine it!"

Nalan Yan nodded in understanding: "This is the power of Mu Yun, he can always do things that others can't do." ”

Of course, Li Bao understands Nalan Yan's origin, and the dignity of his identity is not inferior to that of the lord's children. With the development and growth of the Xueyan Chamber of Commerce, Mu Yun's reputation has gradually increased, and he will appear in the newspaper in three days, and now there are many rumors spreading, and the two seem to have a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

Although the news has not been confirmed.

Li Bao believed this statement.

The transaction of Luohan Mountain is a very lucrative task, Mu Yun will definitely hand it over to the most trusted and mature caravan to do, he did not entrust the experienced old businessman, but handed over the precious opportunity to Nalan Yan, doesn't this explain the problem?

I can't help but admire Mu Yun!

The princesses of the Nalan family dare to hook up!

Li Bao praised in his heart: Nalan Yan is not only noble, but she is indeed a superb beauty, Mu Yun's taste is really high, and the women around him are not a vulgar fan.

Large quantities of supplies were brought into the camp.

The transport was completely completed around dusk.

Judging from the scale of the goods, Nalan Yan brought things about three or five times that of Mu Yun. Because after the orcs taste the sweetness, they will definitely work harder to mine and collect treasures, and the ores and materials exchanged this time will undoubtedly far exceed the last time.

Nalan Yan also got some news.

The Nine Tribes, together with dozens of large tribes, are waging war against the frost trolls who inhabit the ice fields.

The Frost Trolls are a race that is more evil by nature, and now they are completely controlled by the demons, and if there are no orcs to the north as a barrier, this power is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Terrans, and it may fall at any time.

As soon as the orcs and the frost trolls go to war, Mu Yun will raise his hands in approval.

Nalan Yan specially prepared a batch of weapons and weapons.

"Miss, I haven't eaten much in a day, please eat a little. ”

Xiaoxue brings a piece of dough.

Nalan Yan smiled and nodded, holding the hard dough cake, taking a bite very much, and then thinking quietly, "I plan to stay in Luohan Mountain for a while, because in addition to replacing resources, we still have an important period to do." ”

Xiaoxue said while eating the dough, "Didn't Mu Yun just explain the transaction?"

"It's not enough to be on a mission. Nalan Yan had other ideas, "I want to take the opportunity to recruit more half-orcs, now half-orcs are a very profitable commodity of the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce, and it is also a signboard to expand its influence." If we can domesticate more orcs, we can not only promote the integration of the two races, reduce border wars, but also increase the strength of the human race, and greatly enhance the status of the Snow Swallow Chamber of Commerce in the Northland Federation. ”

Xiaoxue nodded, feeling that it made sense.
