Chapter 64: The Demon Pass

"There are two million troops stationed in the Demon Pass?" Hearing this, Li Chen's jaw was about to drop, he really hadn't seen a place that could accommodate two million people, even if he witnessed the huge capital of the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't know how many people lived in it, so it was a bit similar to a hillbilly going to the street, not knowing the rules of the people in the city, and he was very surprised when he saw anything.

"This is only the army stationed in the Demon Pass, not counting the people who live in it, and the people who do business there, these people add up to about 20 million!" Tang Heng seemed to think that Li Chen's surprise was very cute, and he did not hesitate to add a handful of oil into it, so that the fire burned more vigorously.

"Why are there still traders doing business in the Demon Pass, aren't they afraid of death?" Li Chen didn't let Tang Heng get his way, he was only guided by Tang Heng to enter a misunderstanding that he couldn't understand, and asked.

The Demon Pass is a fierce place, completely a copper wall that blocks the iron hooves of the two clans of the Demon Beasts, and naturally there is no oil and water to fish in his eyes.

"Actually, our human world and the Warcraft clan are still trading with each other, our human world sells food to the Warcraft clan, and the Warcraft clan will send the ores and spiritual herbs that our human world needs to the door, otherwise this piece of food alone will not be able to stop the appetite of the Warcraft clan!" Tang Heng also explained the corresponding things to Li Chen.

As for the specific situation, he really couldn't say clearly, who called him not a businessman, nor the commander of the Demon Pass!

Hearing this, Li Chen didn't have any unusual expression on his face, he naturally knew that he had a lot of things that were not clear, especially in a strange environment, everything was unknown, if no one explained to him, he really had a dark eye, but he knew that these things were a matter of time, who told him to live in the Demon Pass for two years, and there was a lot of time for him to understand the situation in the Demon Pass.

"Such a large piece of grain should have been planted by those serfs, right?" Soon, he saw a city appear in front of him, which was only a big and small country compared to Dali, prompting him to guess that only by sending slaves without any status to this place, more than half of the grain planted would be distributed to the two clans of Warcraft, and with the surname of the nobles, he was reluctant to let people take away the grain, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion, and asked.

"They were indeed exploited serfs before, but as long as they came to the Demon Pass, then they would have more say than those serfs under the rule of the nobility, equivalent to the status of commoners, and all the grain harvested belonged to them, and they could also receive the insurance money of the five empires, after all, this place was relatively close to the Demon Pass, so they could not die at the hands of the two clans of Warcraft!" Tang Heng nodded and said.

"Aren't they afraid of death?" Li Chen frowned and asked again.

He was accustomed to seeing too many serfs bending their waists for a mouthful of food, thousands of times more bitter than these commoners in the towns, planting a large amount of grain for the nobles, so that they could get less than one percent of their planting, which could only last until the next harvest season, if there was a drought, then the starving serfs would be immeasurable, and the nobles would not open warehouses to release grain, who would call a group of dead and a group of serfs to fill the vacancy.

So in his eyes, the nobles are the embodiment of the devil, and at the same time, he also knows that the serfs dare not resist one by one, greedy for life and afraid of death!

"Death can not bear it at all for those nobles who only know how to be powerful and prosperous, but these slaves who have long seen through the heat and coldness of the world are insignificant, and now they are living a good life, not only can they marry wives and have children, but also accumulate enough gold coins, and then return to a stable and peaceful place to settle down, no longer oppressed, there is such a place where they can turn over and change their identity, from serfs to commoners, and even so that their children and grandchildren can cultivate spiritual power, and change the brand of generations of serfs! Tang Heng sighed.

"Yes, no one is willing to become a money-making tool in the hands of others for generations!" Li Chen's eyes flickered, he already felt it in his heart, and nodded in agreement.

People's mentality is infected by the environment in which they live, and no one is willing to take risks and struggle.

Even Li Chen himself is no exception, although he was born in a civilian family, he is not much higher than the poor in the eyes of the nobles, just because the commoners become poor and serfs often happen around him, so their family has always been in a situation where they may fall into the ranks of the poor at any time.

"This natural mountain range is really amazing!" Immediately, he looked into the distance, there was a mountain range standing on the horizon, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, and he immediately guessed that this was a natural barrier to block the invasion of the two clans of Warcraft, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration again.

"Well, the mountain range in the northeast is called the Demon Mountain Range, and at the other end of the mountain range is the base camp of the demon clan, the land is very fertile, but they can only cultivate grain once a year, and the mountain range in the north is called the Royal Beast Mountain Range, and behind it is the territory of the orc country, and six months of the year belong to the cold winter, and fortunately they have rough skin and thick meat, otherwise they would have to freeze to death!" Tang Heng pointed to the mountains on both sides and explained.

"Then we'll hunt in the Demon Mountain Range in the future, right?" Hearing this, Li Chen already had his own calculations and asked.

Both the Warcraft clan borders the human world, and he knows that it is easier for him to find the demon clan, who told him to have the spiritual power of the light surname, and specifically restrain the dark surname of the demon race.

"The Demon Race can't climb over that mountain range, otherwise the Demon Race would have already infiltrated our human world exactly like us humans, and we can only meet the people of the Demon Beast Race in the Royal Beast Mountain Range!" Of course, Tang Heng wanted to pick on the Demon Clan, but he shook his head and said regretfully.

"Why?" Li Chen's brows furrowed.

Obviously, the two mountain ranges can be crossed over, but only the mountain range that resists the invasion of the demons cannot be crossed, which is a bit unreasonable!

"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard my father say that the mountain range that resists the invasion of the demon clan has a seal passed down from ancient times, covering almost the entire demon mountain range, and the energy that constitutes the seal is the light surname, and the demon clan is originally afraid of the light surname, and if they want to cross the past, then they must pay a very high price, so the two demon beast clans will choose the royal beast mountain range that is easier to enter the human world, and let us not scatter our forces on the two mountain ranges!" Tang Heng explained.

Just as the two of them were talking, they had already seen the tall mountain range standing in front of them, and at the same time, they also saw a crack that split the mountain range, and under the crack there were figures coming in and out, looking like ants from a distance, that was the entrance to the Demon Pass, and it also indicated that they were about to arrive at the Demon Pass.

When they approached this crack, they found that this crack looked small from afar, but it was a hundred kilometers long up close, and a rock wall of more than 20 meters also entered their eyes, on the city wall, there were soldiers in armor standing at their posts, and there were five doors with hundreds of meters wide open below, and the scene of traffic never stopped.

"It's so big in here!" And they also shocked the huge scene in front of them a little unrelievable, but Zhao Jin and the three of them didn't give them time to adapt, and directly marched along the middle gate where not many people entered, and the soldiers there knelt on one knee one by one, welcoming them into the Demon Pass, when they passed through the city wall of a hundred meters, what was printed into their eyes was actually a building, like a city, not at all like a fortress to resist the invasion of the two warcraft clans, and some people exclaimed.

After Li Chen saw such a huge building, he immediately believed Tang Heng's words, this place was enough to accommodate 20 million people, but because the length was a hundred kilometers, he couldn't see the distance at the end of the crack.

At this time, they followed Zhao Jin and the others along the hundred-meter-wide street and drove straight in, about half an hour later, there were also teenagers of the same age as them appeared in their eyes one after another, especially after they entered a camp, they saw a large number of teenagers staying together in groups, and the sound of conversation poured into their ears like a volcanic eruption.

"Brother Li Chen, we may have some trouble later, when the time comes, you can come forward to solve it!" Their bouts will inevitably attract the attention of some eyes, but the robes they are wearing are not marked, but they can't recognize which kingdom they are, but Li Chen can see that these people seem to have some unusual eyes, as if they want to express something he doesn't understand, which makes him frown, and at the same time, there is a small reminder in his ears.

"Let it be!" Li Chen's brows furrowed a little tighter, he had already guessed that there would be trouble next, and it would be more difficult than the Great Song students, otherwise why would Tang Heng say something to let him solve it, and then, he could only shake his head secretly.

"We are the people of the Tang Warrior Academy, and in the future, the people from your Great Song Kingdom will follow us, and the people of the other four empires will not dare to bully you, but it takes a lot of energy for us to protect you from being bullied, so we will also charge the corresponding protection fee!" Sure enough, after they were just placed in the place where the Great Song Dynasty lived, Zhao Jin and the three of them had already left this place, and their whereabouts were unknown, and at the same time, someone immediately came to the door, and they were more arrogant and domineering than the Great Song Dynasty students treated the Dali students, and the words they said did not give the slightest room for change.

Just because they have the name of the Tang Warrior Academy on their heads, as the academy of the vassal state of the Tang Empire, although they don't have to obey their orders, they should always be united, but unfortunately, they are here to collect protection money, not so friendly as a group.

"This place is not a place where gangs can run rampant, you have to rely on your own fists to speak, and we have our own hands and feet, and we can protect ourselves, so we are not obliged to pay you protection money, and I don't believe that you can settle everything, don't think that you can scare the people of the other four empires with the Tang Empire engraved on your head!" Because of this, there was a trace of gloom on the faces of Li Chen and the others, and they were asked to pay the protection fee as soon as they came, which was a bit of a taste of crushing people at the level of the official university, and immediately, Tang Heng mocked in a very straightforward tone.
