Chapter 40: The First Arrival
A few days later, in the early morning, Chang Hao finally walked out of the Warcraft Forest, and from the high mountains on the edge of the forest, he could already see the outline of the town dozens of kilometers away.
Lonia is a hub adjacent to the Gondor Forest, where roads from the western provinces converge and where economics and politics take root, giving a new lease of life to a land that would have been a wilderness just a few hundred years ago.
Due to its proximity to Mordor, the gathering place of the demons, Lonia is also a strategic location in the strict sense of the word, so the walls built by Lonia are much higher than those of other towns, reaching a rare height of thirty meters.
At intervals, towers protruding from the outside of the walls were built, and the most elite archers were stationed inside. The distance between each tower is designed to be the effective range of the bow, allowing archers to flank enemies trying to climb the walls.
The mottled walls of the city seem to be poured with iron blood, revealing the smell of slaughter.
Since Lonia is a strategic location, it is natural that the management will not be lax, and if you want to enter the city, you must verify your identity. Chang Hao originally thought that entering the city might inevitably have to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that his identity as an "elf" seemed to be particularly useful, and the gray wolf clan officer at the gate of the city just interrogated him about the purpose and name of coming to Lonia, and after knowing that he was the one who came to help the army, he immediately let him go.
Legolas is Chang Hao's current pseudonym, taken from the name of the elven prince in "The Lord of the Rings", Chang Hao feels that it is perfect to deal with the current situation.
The main thoroughfare of Lonia was built to accommodate five noble beast carts side by side, and it is said that this was designed to ensure that some of the large garrisons could be quickly deployed and transported during the war.
In peacetime, the wide streets are lined with shops and a dazzling array of goods.
The tall and strong brute soldiers carefully patrolled every corner of the city of Lonya, and the sexy fox beauties full of wild beauty gathered in front of the ambiguously furnished tavern, laughing and trembling, and their breasts were bumpy like the waves of the sea, making the male orcs passing by pay their attention sharply.
Chang Hao, who prides himself on being very pure, couldn't help but look at it twice.
"It's nothing if you look at it a few more times, I won't tell Xiao Changge and Xiao Ai. The smile on the sword spirit's face was as treacherous as his big back.
"Beauty is an art, and I just happen to have eyes that can find it. Chang Hao rolled his eyes wildly, and was almost grabbed by the pigtails by this big flicker.
Chang Hao was keenly aware that there were many orc warriors in Lonia City who had the same purpose as him at this moment. These orc warriors come from a variety of ethnic branches, including the tall giant elephants, the majestic Rhine lions, the amphibious monitor lizards, and even the mammoths who live only in the snowy mountains.
Judging by the heavy weapons that these orc warriors carry with them, they should all be the best in their respective races. Because only the strongest warriors are eligible for the extremely scarce iron weapons and armor.
Compared with these orc warriors who are two or three meters tall at the shortest, Chang Hao is like a bean sprout, almost engraved the words weak and can't help the wind on the door of his head.
"Oh my God! look! there's an elf coming to Lonia!" a sharp-eyed fox beauty covered her mouth in surprise.
"What a handsome elf brother. A fox beauties with towering breasts comparable to Mount Everest's eyes were full of autumn spinach, her shoulders trembled with laughter, and the eyes of the group of orc warriors around her were smoking, and she wanted to hold it with her hand, for fear of falling off.
The relationship between orcs and elves has been neither good nor bad in all periods of history.
The vast majority of orcs can be described as rough and wild, and they are basically destined to be handsome and elegant in this life. And orcs often don't pay attention to cultural inheritance and etiquette, and they like to fight and kill, and they live a fairly primitive life, and the goal of life is basically to eat enough and reproduce the next generation.
This directly leads to an invisible chasm between orcs and elves who are almost all artists, and it is difficult to communicate with each other on the same level.
Orcs feel that elves have thin arms and thin legs are sissy, and elves feel that orcs are barbaric and primitive and unreasonable. But a thousand years ago, during the great war on land and sea, the elves proved their courage to the orcs with their sacrifices, and the orcs also wrote their unshakable position in the pages of history with their fearlessness to death.
It was the most harmonious period between elves and orcs. It's a pity that a thousand years have passed, and the old tree of comradeship-in-arms in the past has gradually turned into decay.
This is one of the main reasons why he chose to disguise himself as an elf, and the only ones who can expose his disguise are genuine elves, but unfortunately Lornia does not.
"Hmph, there hasn't been a single elf in this city of Lonia for hundreds of years. Don't think about it, this guy must have taken a fancy to that fiefdom, otherwise what else would he do when he was idle and came to the east? Give the demon clan a head?" A Rhine Lion Clan warrior with a loud voice obviously didn't have any good intentions, and directly gave Chang Hao a big hat in a vain attempt to seize the fruits of victory.
In fact, the main reason was that Chang Hao's appearance diverted the attention of the fox girls from his proud chest muscles, which made him very unhappy.
Chang Hao glanced at the triumphant Rhine Lion warriors, didn't bother to pay attention to them, and left amid the cheers and coaxing of the orcs.
Cut, unseeded guy. The Rhine Lion spat violently at Chang Hao's back.
According to the location indicated on the recruitment list, Chang Hao found the place to recruit and assess the qualifications of the warriors, that is, the military school field located in the north of Lonia.
After showing the call sheet to indicate his intention, Chang Hao was allowed to enter the school field to wait.
On the white gravel schoolyard, several squadron-sized gray wolf warriors and bear warriors were in the morning training, their movements were uniform, wielding iron or stone bayonets and totem poles for combat training, and large drops of sweat accompanied by the powerful battle cries of the orcs rolled from Kong Wu's powerful body to the ground.
On the other side, the centaur archers who are good at shooting are in shooting training, and the archers are skillful and rhythmic in bending their bows and arrows, and most of them can accurately hit the arrow target within the eight rings of 150 meters away.
Those who didn't shoot within the eighth ring turned their faces into bitter melons.
This means that they will have to run circles around the school yard before changing classes today.
One ring is missing, run ten laps, don't have breakfast if you can't finish the run.
The squadron leader of the bearman squadron in a straight military uniform patrolled the school field, and the whip dipped in water was tied to the belt, and the soldiers worked hard in line with the purpose of hitting where there was a mistake.
The size and strength of the orcs largely determine their status in the army, Chang Hao compared it and found that Herbert was even more burly than the bearman squadron leader. In this way, that guy was at least a squadron leader when he served in the army.
There was a sign in the corner of the school yard that said "Recruiting Office", and many orc warriors from all over the world had gathered there, all chatting with each other.
Chang Hao took a deep breath and walked towards the enlistment office.
