Chapter 371 Orc Town
It takes about seven or eight days to get from Ironforge to Warcraft Forest, which is a quick ride. And the poor road was standing at the entrance of the Warcraft Forest at this time. I was carefully observing the largest of the three treacherous forests on the continent, its trees were much denser than the Elven Forest, and the dense plants and plants filled the gaps inside, at least not for humans to pass through.
And we now have a ready-made road in front of us, which was left by the orc invasion last year, and the road, which was originally dozens of meters wide, is now almost blocked by new vines, which shows how fast the plants here grow. Obviously this is a typical tropical rainforest, and Poor Dao hates this place the most, it rains as often as eating, and it is hot to death!
"What is the envoy looking at?" Aluk asked curiously, frowning at me!
"Look if it rains a lot here, I hate the weather when it rains all the time!" said the poor and depressed!
"Hehe, it often rains here, but it's different when we get to our Beastmaster City, where the climate has four distinct seasons, and it's very suitable for living!"
"Oh, yes!" Poor Dao became depressed when he heard this, the four seasons are distinct, obviously saying that the temperate zone is going to go from the tropics to the temperate zone, I am dizzy, how far will this go?
"Hehe, if we're leaving, it's going to be at least four months!" Aluk laughed!
"Ah, isn't it??Is the Warcraft Forest so big?" In this way, I have to walk back and forth for nine months, nearly a year, and I still have so many things to deal with at home, how can I waste so much time on the road?
"Hehe, my lord, if we go straight. It's only two months away, but you should also know that the Monster Forest is full of dangers, and there are many dangerous places in it that we can't enter, so we can only spare it, so we have to walk for so long!" Al Luke explained with a smile!
"But this time is too long, my time is going to be wasted on the road!" said Poor Dao with a wry smile!
"Adults are still so young, do they still care about this time?" Al Luke laughed, "I don't think adults are more than a teenager, right?"
"Yes!" Poor Dao heard him mention his age, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ah, when I was thirteen years old, I captured Nicholas alive. Soon after the Chinese New Year, when Xianya became a saint and I reunited with Athena in the other world, I grew up to fourteen years old, and then it was a whole year of fighting. First Carter, then the Orcs, as the Holy War continued, I also entered the age of fifteen. Alas, time flies, and it's been fifteen years since I came here in the blink of an eye.
Come to think of it. Poor Dao said to Yaluk with emotion: "I have wasted fifteen years of time, and I don't want to waste it anymore!"
"Oh my God, the envoy is too modest, isn't he?" Aluk said with an exaggerated wry smile, "when I was in the Terrans." The most I hear is the story of your legendary commander, your achievements at the age of fifteen are already more brilliant than the achievements of other people's lives, how many people work hard to get the title of military god in their lifetime, but you got it at the age of fifteen, are you still not satisfied?"
"Hehe, you've won the prize!" Poor Dao smiled, "However, I'm afraid I really don't have so much time to hurry." Do you think there's a way to hurry up?"
"Hehe, there is this!" Aluk smiled heartily, "If the envoy is not worried about safety, we can fly over in a bipedal wyvern, and it will take less than twenty days to arrive!"
"That's right, your big two-legged wyvern can be used as a means of transportation!" said Poor Dao in surprise: "It seems that the communication of your orc empire is still very developed!"
"It's not as easy as adults think!" Al Luk shook his head, "Our bipedal wyverns are limited in number, so they can't be transported often, and there are other reasons, so please forgive me for not telling you!"
"Hehe, of course, I can understand, so when can we ride the Wyvern?" asked Poor Dao hurriedly. Of course, you can't say all the military secrets of other people, and the poor Dao who knows each other very well does not continue to ask questions!
"We'll have to walk for a few days, and when we get to the nearest orc town, we'll be able to ride the Wyvern. Yaluk laughed!
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" said Poor Dao happily!
The next few days we spent on the road, the days in the rainforest were really bad, the clothes were wet after a while, a lot of small insects circled around me, annoyed me, so angry that he simply held the magic shield to go, Kerry saw me like this, and he didn't care about exposing his strength, and he also turned on the magic shield, and he looked at Yaluke and them a little stupid, wasting magic power at will is only the right that the strong have, at least the great mage can become it, and it is too late for ordinary mages to cherish it!
And Kerry and I have a shield that lasts all day, how much magic power does it take, can they not be surprised! Kerry is my bodyguard after all, and it is understandable that he is powerful, but I can be so powerful with a small hairy head, but it makes them a little incredible. Poor Dao has actually thought about it a long time ago, orcs pay the most attention to strength, if I don't show it at all, no matter how much I say, I will be looked down upon by them, so it is appropriate to show it appropriately, as long as I don't show my family background!
After seeing my performance, Aluke and his followers did not have an attitude. Yaluk's respect for me was based on who I am, and now he sees me as a powerful man. And his two bodyguards, the Minotaur Bloodhoof and the Troll Rashack, who had not looked at me before, also began to look at me differently, and as for the Harpy, who was just a messenger soldier, he was even more impressed with me. Obviously, in this way, things will be much easier to handle in the future!
A few days later. We came to a small orc town, inhabited by about 10,000 and a half orc inhabitants, and we arrived at this time when the warriors went to hunt, so the city was almost full of old men and children, and only about twenty warriors were guarding the door.
The city was surrounded on all sides by tall wooden fences and was built very strongly. And it's very organized, because of the gap between the fences, the orcs can go in and out on their bodies, but the bigger beasts will be blocked out. Apparently for refuge in the orcs who had been attacked suddenly. The main gate of the small city is a closed gate, which is usually closed and can be opened when it is used to facilitate the entry and exit of the large group of people and goods.
The houses of the orcs are very distinctive, they first dig a large pit in the ground, and then build a house on the pit, so that the exposed part of the house is not very large. More wood can be used to reinforce them, which makes their houses very sturdy. And although they are small, there are many watchtowers, more than twenty. From these details, you can see how dangerous it is for orcs to live here. It's not that Warcraft often rages. Can they be so careful?
When we opened the door and entered, the first thing that caught our eyes was the three huge two-legged dragons parked on the square, which were lying on the ground leisurely basking in the sun. And their knights appeared in front of us at the first time, all three of them were trolls, and they couldn't stop talking to Yaluk as soon as they came up. I'm too embarrassed to hear what people say. While they were talking to Aleuk, they began to look at the interior of the small town.
The houses here are built in a very regular manner, apparently to take care of each other during defense, there are not many adults in the city, only children are still playing, women are busy preparing dinner, some old soldiers are teaching fighting skills to the children of the more earth, others are sharpening some bone weapons, in short, everyone is busy working, even when they see us, they only look at us casually, and do not come together.
Instead, some curious children looked at us from afar, and Poor Dao smiled at them. He turned his attention to their livelihood issues. I saw that there were no shops in the city, and they must still be in the primitive stage of bartering. I also found dried meat and some strange fruit drying on their roofs, which I did not see when I came, but which they had picked from the forest.
As you can see from the amount of food and the children with vegetables on their faces, eating is still a big problem for them to solve. I really don't know how they raised the food and grass when they attacked Vana, and it is incredible that their soldiers only ate and did not work during those months, and the people in the rear did not starve to death!
From Yaluk's description all the way, I know that the food problem of the orcs has always been their most urgent problem, and it is absolutely impossible to support such a huge war with their own food reserves alone, unless they get a large amount of food supplies at that time to support them in such a war, so who is the force that supports them?
When Poor Dao thought about it like this, he began to have some doubts, the Japanese don't have to think about it, they are too far away, could it be the Sea Clan? It is also unlikely, the food provided by the Sea Tribes can only be fish, is it possible to keep fish for a long time in this hellish place? If it is salted fish, it can be kept for a long time, but I don't believe that the orcs can eat salted fish, it is strange if they are not salted to death!
As for the sub-humans called the Ice and Snow Elves to the north of them, the population is smaller than that of the desert people, and it is impossible to provide food. Finally, there are amphibious fishmen, who don't even have a big tribe, and it's impossible to cooperate with orcs. If the above information Yaluk gave me is true, then it means that he is still hiding from me that there is a force that I have not said.
Being able to provide so much food and grass to the orcs, it is obvious that the relationship between the orcs and this force is extraordinary. And if you have the ability to take it out, it means that this power is very large. I'm afraid that even the three major empires of mankind want to provide food supply for hundreds of thousands of orc armies at once, and it is not an easy thing to do!
Hmph, Poor Dao snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart, no wonder Yaluke asked me questions, it turned out that he was giving me eye medicine? It must have been a lie, and it was really an old fox, worthy of being a diplomat. However, although I am a little annoyed, I have to say that it is no wonder. After all, this is the first time we've dealt with each other, and if you tell me everything, it would be hell!
By this time, Aluk had finished talking to the two-legged dragon knights, and came up to me and said, "Your Excellency, we have only brought three wyverns with us this time, and since you are a guest, and there are only three of them, we are going to give you two, one for yourself, and one for your two retinues. Do you think it's okay?"
"Of course you can!" Poor Dao smiled and said, "Hehe, it just so happens that my Gaiji can be with me!" I touched Gaici's head, but this kid shook his head vigorously, making me feel very shameless, isn't it just riding a flying dragon to the sky. What are you afraid of! Can you still fall to death a dignified ninth-level high-ranking demonic beast?
"Envoy, you're not joking, are you?" Al Luk's face turned green when he heard this, and he said bitterly, "Although the two-legged wyvern is big, it is because of the long distance. So we can only make it weigh a thousand pounds. Except for the troll knight, it's only more than six hundred pounds, your mount. I'm afraid it has more than a thousand pounds of its own, right?"
"No, no!" Poor Dao hurriedly shook his head and said: "The two of us add up to less than six hundred catties, don't look at its size, in fact, it is very empty inside! It is full of grass, and the whole is a big straw bale!"
"Roar!" I described as a straw bale, very dissatisfied, and roared in a low voice.
"Your Excellency is laughing!" said Aluk with a laugh!
"Don't laugh, I don't believe you can measure it!" Poor Dao pretended to be very innocent! Then he secretly used his spiritual power to tell Gai Ci: "Don't show me the stuffing, you are wronged to be a straw bag first, and then you will be rewarded for your good work." Don't pretend to be pathetic. You kid just got so cheap, what else is there to say!If you make trouble with me again, you will see the goddess of nature and ask her to take back her divine power!" I was coaxed and frightened, and after a few hard and soft measures, Gai Ci was finally honest.
"But we don't have any weighing equipment here!" said Aluk regretfully, "This is a small border town, and that thing is only found in big cities!"
"This is simple, you find two people weighing six hundred pounds, and stand on the rocker with us, isn't it clear who is light and who is heavy?"
"What's the rocker?" asked Arub, puzzled!
"Ah, that's it!" Poor Dao explained to him carefully, this thing is very simple, and people with almost a little intelligence can understand this truth. With Aluk's cleverness, he understood it just by listening to it once.
"Your Excellency is really smart!" Aluk complimented, "What a simple and practical way, I'll go and prepare!" After saying that, he ordered his men to prepare.
In addition to the three orcs who followed Aluk on this visit, there were also two hundred ground guards, half orcs and half trolls. With their help, things were quickly ready. Aluke picked two shorter orcs to compare with us.
Although they are short, their stature is more than two meters, and they are very strong, and in the eyes of poor Dao, their weight is definitely more than 600 catties. The average height of the orcs is more than two meters, and the strong ones can reach three meters. The average Minotaur is more than three meters, and the guy called Bloodhoof around us now is four meters tall! And the Orc royal family Beamon, the average height is four meters away, like the Three Princes Flame-Beamon, a master individual, more than five meters tall, making him look like a giant!
Because of the cheating of the poor road, this test is like a fictitious test, Gai Ci is now very large, there is no way, if it is too small, I am uncomfortable to sit! I am fifteen years old, and my body is much taller, of course, I can't ride a bear around like before. So I screamed a little bigger, and now he is on all fours, almost the height of an ordinary human, and the length is close to three meters.
Such a big bear, and there is a poor road on its back, but it is not as heavy as the two guys on the opposite side, and they are held high! Seeing that Yaluk and the others are straight, Yaluke then shook his head and said, "Can the envoy change places with them?" It seems that this guy is really shrewd, afraid that I am fooling him and coming up with such an idea.
"Of course you can!" Poor Dao readily agreed! Then Gai Ci and I got down and stood on the opposite side, and those two guys stood in the position we just had, hehe, of course, the result is needless to say, there is Gai Ci's anti-gravity technique, and there is a chicken standing on the opposite side, which will definitely be able to press us up. Quack, it's a big deal to add levitation!
"Huh?" Aluk let out an incredulous grunge, then turned to look at his assistant and bodyguard, the troll wizard Rathingk. The troll wizard shook his head, indicating that he didn't see any flaws. It's strange that he can see it, but Poor Dao has been using his powerful divine sense to isolate the magic fluctuations around him, and Gaiji's anti-gravity technique this time is also very slight, just to make our weight slightly lighter than theirs, so it's easy for me to cover it up!
"All right, Envoy!" Aluk smiled bitterly, "You are such a miraculous person, I think that since you are like this, you must be able to do so in the sky, right?"
"Hehe, I assure you, how heavy I am now, and how heavy I am in the sky!" Poor Dao smiled!
