Chapter 68: Iron Blood City
The next morning, Merlin and the others were on the road, and the wagon convoy was still the same, only this time there was one more person, the new wife, oh, it was Miss Anne, the priest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
When the sunset filled the sky again, Merlin's convoy crossed a great river and finally reached Merlin's fiefdom, Drex.
This river, the name of the Yellow Leaf River, every autumn when the dead leaves of the trees on the riverside fall, will spread the whole river, so the name of the Yellow Leaf River has been handed down.
The Yellow Leaf River crossed the western part of the empire, separating the provinces of Dekreth and Chart, and the border between the two provinces was the Yellow Leaf River.
Decres is a flat plain, and a very large plain. The land is very fertile, with verdant forests, a warm climate and plenty of sunshine. But why is such a good land barren and a place that no nobleman wants to take over?
It's because Decres is close to the orc empire here, and if you plant a dealer here, when the day is ripe, the orcs will definitely invade in a big way. Grab whatever supplies are on the land at all costs. It borders the orc prairie, which is a plain terrain and is very open. The length and width of the city walls simply did not make it possible to build the walls, as it would cost a lot of money. Although Decrees is a province of the Farr Empire, it is actually no different from the province of the Orcs. They come and go when they want.
But why don't they take this place? First of all, the orcs don't farm, they just grow some good ripe food. Second, it was also a place where orc and human traders traded. If it was controlled by the orcs, these merchants would not rush into it, and the human race itself would have a guarantee in their hearts. For various reasons, the orcs don't want to take this place. Moreover, the first battlefield of the orcs is not here, it is close to the orc steppe, but the orcs must also cross the mountain range of their territory - the Aksu Mountains to come to the orc steppe. The country that really borders the Orcs is the Rand Empire.
Moreover, everyone on the continent knows that the land of the Rand Empire is fertile, the grain harvest is the sum of the other three countries, and the delicious growing food is basically produced by the Rand Empire. The orcs themselves are short of food, and they are close to the Rand Empire, so of course they have to rob the Rand Empire's food. As for the Kingdom of Farr, they are also more famous for the Warcraft Forest.
The Rand Empire does not enter the adjacent orcs, and it is also the first battlefield against the demons, so although the Rand Empire has the best land, it has to deal with the invasion of the orcs and demons every year. Fortunately, his country's deep pockets and the existence of the Kingdom Federation can resist the invasion of both sides.
"Young master, we're home. Tucker hunched over at Merlin, Drex's home from this day forward.
"Well, home...."Merlin smiled from the bottom of his heart, for me who didn't belong to this era, what I lacked the most was probably a sense of belonging. Now I finally have my own real home.
With a hint of sunset, Merlin pushed the door and stepped out of the carriage, standing in the beautiful sunset, Merlin's face had his long-lost emotion—anticipation.
A red stone wall surrounds a castle made of stone mined from the nearby gold mountain, which is called the gold mountain because a large gold mine was originally found here, and although it has now been hollowed out, it was a veritable "gold mountain" at the time!
After hundreds of years of mining, the interior of the current gold mountain has been hollowed out, and it is still a mountain on the surface, but it is a super large cave inside. The castle is surrounded by houses made of the same stone. Around the castle, it is estimated that there are thousands of homes.
"Young Master, this is Iron Blood City, and that castle is your home. Tucker said as he looked at Merlin and pointed to the castle in the distance.
"Oh, this is Iron Blood... Wait, this is Iron Blood, so... Where are the walls?" Merlin looked around, there was not a single defensive tower, let alone the city walls.
Tucker looked at Merlin embarrassedly, "Young Master, Iron Blood City doesn't need city walls, because orcs won't come here to invade as long as there is no famine." Even if there is a famine, the walls will not be able to prevent these orcs. Repairing the walls would be a significant expense. So..."
Merlin's eyelids jumped, "What a safe place to be, bastard, do you think I'm going to say that?"
Made, and Pichu watched the angry Merlin silently hide at the back of the convoy, and if Merlin was angry and wanted to provoke him at this time, it would be tantamount to looking for death. Even if you don't mess with him, stand by his side, he will find you angry.
"Okay, the Empire has a kind, and since I'm here Merlin, I'm here. Very good, very good, come on, get back to the castle quickly. I have something to say. Merlin slipped into the carriage with a wave of his hand and slammed the door shut.
Tucker looked at Merlin and shook his head, looking at the knights in a daze, "What are you still doing, hurry up and go to the castle!"
"Yes" All the knights looked at this place with sad faces, this is more than they thought, the population is thousands, are you sure this is a city and not a village?
When the sky was dark, Merlin and the others finally came to the inside of the castle, well, the previous nobleman actually didn't have anything left! The castle was empty, making Merlin feel like a haunted house.
Standing at the top of the castle, you can clearly see the Warkerville prairie of the orcs. Nima, twenty kilometers out of the city is the orc grassland, the mentally retarded built the city here?
Merlin sighed, "Okay, play with me, right?" Who is Lao Tzu? Demon King Satan! I'm afraid of you? Look at how I can transform this place into a paradise on earth.....! Heaven is theirs of the God of Light, so let's transform it into a hell on earth!
