As the carriage exited the passage, Horn couldn't help but look back at the not-so-majestic mountain, which could be considered a turning point for him, awakening the Force and becoming a magician. Leaving this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back. DuPont didn't reveal anything, and it is estimated that this trip is not so simple.

The other four also had different expressions, but one thing they had in common was that they were all worried about the future, and they were only limited to the Empire's conscription order and had to go.

Of course, Horn also planned for himself, and if the trip was too dangerous, he would simply run away halfway. Of course, he would only do this in the worst case, after all, he still wanted to cultivate more here, and his martial arts cultivation had basically reached the plain state, and it was very difficult to go further. But magic has made great progress, and there is also a collection of books that Hao Bot has obtained from his ancestor Canduret, which basically covers all the knowledge of the field of magic, which is very helpful for his cultivation.

After more than two hours of travel, we have arrived at the capital of the Saatchi Empire, Helki. Looking at the city wall, which was not majestic, Horn and his party planned to have a good meal inside.

There was basically nothing to eat in Dupont, and my mouth was almost forgetting what jì food tasted like.

So the group went directly to the most famous tavern in Helki, ordered all the delicacies, and had a good meal. Only then did he get into the carriage again, except for the city of Herki.

It's winter. The roads were covered with snow. The carriage struggled along the main road. DuPont didn't see it as a solution, and it was time for the next station. He sold the carriage and bought six more horses, one for each person, and rode forward.

The group rarely spoke on the road except in a hurry. Horn noticed that the six had been heading north, a direction that was already very close to the borders of the Saatchi Empire. In the past, it belonged to the borders of the Orc Empire.

Thinking of this, Horn couldn't help but think, could it be that the place where Dupont was going this time was within the territory of the Orc Empire. Thinking of this, Horn couldn't help but worry. The Orc Empire is not very friendly to humans, although the Orcs sometimes come to the Human Empire to do business, which does not change the attitude of the Orcs towards humans.

And the Orc Empire sometimes invades the Human Empire. First and foremost was the Thatch Empire. Of course, the Thatch Empire was not completely under beatings, and sometimes fought back.

It's been more than fifty years since the last large-scale war with the Orc Empire. Everything else is a small border friction and a small fight. Basically, the border is fairly secure.

As Horn expected, DuPont is a small town just a stone's throw from the border. Sold all the horses and bought various weapons. And let Horn and them change into thick leather clothes and cotton pants.

Clothing like this is basically for protection against the cold and preparation for battle. These equipment are needed, and they are not needed anywhere else, except to the Orc Empire further north.

Finally, after the five of them were dressed, DuPont said, "Our destination this time is within the Orc Empire. Be careful in the future, and it's best to avoid orc gathering spots. If you touch an orc, don't do it if you can. If you really want to fight, don't leave it alive. Got it?"

Horn and the others nodded their heads to show that they understood, and began to hit the road.

The dividing line between the Saatchi Empire and the Orc Empire is the Medin Buch Mountains, which belong to the Saatchi Empire to the south and the Murding Buch Mountains to the north, including the Medin Buch Mountains. This is because the Saatchi Empire is dominated by cavalry, which is suitable for fighting on the plains, and terrain like mountains, where cavalry has no room to exert itself, it is better to give up.

A group of six people walked knee-deep in the snow, which was very inconvenient to move. Although all six of them have awakened the Force. If the Force is used. It is possible to move forward in a leaping way. But the Force is not infinite, and once the Force is depleted, it can be a tragedy if you encounter an enemy.

On this day, the six of them had reached an unnamed peak in the Medin Buch Mountains. The peaks are all covered with snow. Only a steep cliff face emerges. Even the tall cedars are clad in silver.

Suddenly, DuPont came to a sudden halt. Wave your hand to signal everyone not to move.

Horn and the others were stunned, not knowing why DuPont stopped.

DuPont listened for a moment and said, "Someone is running here, and they all flash behind the stone in front." Jump straight up and leave no traces. He pointed to a huge rock about twenty meters ahead, and that rock was so large that there was a gap between it and the mountain. Just enough to be able to hide people.

A group of six people, using the Force to their legs, jumped hard, jumped directly into the air, and fell behind the rocks.

It wasn't long before the six hid it. There was a burst of snowflakes flying behind, and dozens of black shadows rushed towards them at great speed.

In the distance, Horn saw a group of half-shirtless orcs in half-cut fur trousers riding a lizard-like, four-legged, bison-sized animal toward the area.

The lizard-like animal moved freely in the snow, with a membrane on the huge paws of its feet, connected to three toes. Step on the snow and glide on the snow as if you were swimming in the water.

Horn couldn't help but whisper to Dupont, "What kind of animal is this, how can it run so fast in the snow?" ”

Debang whispered back, "This is the mount unique to orcs - the Merktor lizard. This lizard is not only hardy, but also can move freely on snow, ice, and water. The disadvantage is that it is not as fast as a horse on flat ground, but it is more ferocious than it can provide additional combat power to the knight in battle. ”

While the two were talking, the orcs had already arrived at the place where the six had just stopped.

I saw that on the back of the lizard were some werewolves with wolf heads. In addition to having a wolf head, werewolves have an extra leg bone on their feet, and they are nearly one-third taller than normal people, and their bodies are much stronger than normal people, and the rest are not much different from humans.

The werewolf disembarks from the lizard and examines the footprints left in the snow. It's just that the footprints have been broken, and the werewolves look around, but they don't find anything unusual. In the end, they all rode lizards and left.

Horn waited for the werewolves to leave before coming out from behind the rocks.

"Are these werewolves following us?" Horn asked DuPont.

Du Pont shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, these should be the patrol cavalry of the Orc Empire." Maybe I came to check it out after seeing the footprints we left in the snow. After that, we walked directly over the mountain, so as to avoid the footprints left by the patrol cavalry. ”

Over the next few days, Horn and his party finally crossed the Medin Buch Mountains with great effort through mountains and streams.

At this time, the weather also improved, and there was no snow. The snow melted on the ground, creating pools of water, but that didn't bother Horn in the slightest.

After the mountains, there is a vast wasteland. The moor is extremely barren, mainly of bare stones, with a few low shrubs growing far away. Occasionally, some mouse-like creatures have run by. The landscape is inhospitable, and there is more life in the human empire than the desert.

After a few days of walking, Horn still hadn't stepped out of the vast wasteland.

The stars in the sky are still shining, and the starlight shines on the wasteland, as if it were a silver-white garment for the wasteland.

The bonfire kept making a "crackling" sound, and the six of them began to rest after eating dry food.

Horn lay in the blanket, wrapped himself in a ball, and looked at the stars in the sky. The twinkling stars reminded him of two women with eyes like morning stars. One was Tropos, and the other was a woman named Wayne Lachesis, Kenbrundi, Eliphonsar, Gontsaceray, Briliren, and Rente whom she saw in purgatory.

The thought of such a long name troubled Horn. It's better to just call Wayne.

Thinking about it, Horn began to fall into a deep sleep.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, a sense of crisis woke him up from his sleep.

Horn rolled over directly. And almost at the same time, everyone got up.

Dupont stood up and looked around. He smiled and said, "Since you're here, don't hide it." ”

The voice full of the Force resounded like a bell.

After a while, there was a sound of sooting from the darkness. There were many dark shadows all around, and there were at least a few hundred of them.

By the faint light, these black shadows had heads like rats, bodies like ordinary people, and hands and feet like sharp claws. The eyes reflect glow in the night light. This is the rat man in the orc empire, and the rat man is at the bottom of society because of its own low strength and low level under the system of respect for force in the orc empire. In war, it is also a role like cannon fodder.

Horn had just seen hundreds of people, and he was a little worried at first. But as soon as I saw that it was a rat man, I put my mind at ease. The strength of this kind of rat man is not high, it is about the same as an ordinary human soldier, and it is about the level of a two- or third-level martial artist. Strength like this, although numerous, is not yet a threat to them.

"What to do?" Horn asked Dupont. Wait for DuPont to decide, whether to fight or go.

DuPont motioned to everyone not to rush and said, "Let's see what I'm talking about first." ”

Most of the orcs are relatively simple to wear, because they are not good at textile cultivation, and generally peel off the captured prey skin directly, and wear it after a little processing. It's just that these nezumi are a little different, each nezumi carries weapons, knives, axes, swords, halberds, bows, everything.

After the nezumi formed a circle, they did not take any further action. Instead, out of it came a rat-man who was stronger than normal. Looks like the leader of these nezumen.

When the nezumi leader came out, he asked in a stiff human language, "...... you guys Be...... Who's who? What are you doing here?"

DuPont smiled and replied, "We are merchants, and we have come here to buy furs." I don't know if you have the goods, we can buy them at a high level. ”

DuPont casually made up an excuse. Although orcs and humans are hostile, there are still some merchants who are active in the orc empire to do business, especially during this kind of winter, when the official purchase of furs is the golden hour.
