In the Grand Canyon where Rune City is located, Rune City is in the far west, and the easternmost is the three-way crossing, and most of the area in the middle is covered by canyon forests, and those large and small bandit camps and beast nests are hidden in the woods.

In the past, unless these monsters harassed pedestrians on the main road, Rune City turned a blind eye to them, first, it was time-consuming and laborious, and second, even if they were cleaned up, it would be no good, and these monsters did not have half a copper coin on them.

But now it's different.

If Lu Kuan wants to turn the three-way port into a customs port, the first thing to do is to eliminate the surrounding threats.

Therefore, under the leadership of Lu Kuan, the rune dwarves first swept around the city to ensure the safety of the base camp, and then gradually cleared the Grand Canyon to the east.

Of course, cleaning up is not slaughter, for those who are willing to submit to Rune City, Lu Kuan is still very generous, just like the orcs of this small tribe in front of him.

In the woods, a small group of green-skinned, strong orcs were firmly encircled by heavily armed rune dwarves.

"Captain, it's been counted,"

The young mage Will, holding a thick account book in his hand, pointed to a few lines of it and read it carefully: "There are 28 orcs in this tribe, half male and half female, there are no shamans, according to the confessions of the surrounding gnolls, these orcs have never participated in raiding, and have always lived by hunting. ”

Lu Kuan rode on the back of the dragon, listened to Will's description, and looked at the orcs with some surprise.

The other party was led by a strong male orc in the prime of life, wearing a leopard skin coat, and his weapons had been confiscated by the dwarves, and he was looking at Lu Kuan with a solemn expression.

"Orcs who don't marager?"

Lu Kuan habitually groped his chin and said to the orcs led by him: "You haven't appeared in Rune City before, when and where did you come from?" ”

"Tell you, my lord, we are exiles from the Dumb Mountains, expelled by the tribes,"

The orc at the head bowed his head slightly, and said in a cautious and respectful tone: "A year ago, we were chased by a group of werewolves to the intersection, and found that there was a thundering eagle in the city, and there were no too strong enemies around, so we settled here. ”

As he spoke, the orc ripped off his shoulder, revealing the red mark on his shoulder—a blind wolf's head.

Seeing this, Lu Kuan showed a clear expression, nodded, and then said: "Just now our mage has already said that the glory of Rune City has reappeared, and there will be no other armed forces around it. ”

The strong orc raised his head, his brown eyes looked at Lu Kuan on the dragon's back, and said word by word: "We orcs, not slaves. ”

"Presumptuous!"

The nearest dwarven shield guard, seeing that the other party dared to speak to Lu Kuan in this tone, immediately scolded, and the big shield had already slapped towards the orc.

"Slow!"

Seeing this, Lu Kuan immediately stopped him, signaled that it was okay, and then smiled and said to the strong orcs: "Coincidentally, I never accept slaves, and all the members in Rune City, including me, have only one identity, that is, the people of Rune City." ”

"Runeterrae?" The orc looked puzzled.

"Civilians, guards, and this Mr. Mage next to me,"

As he spoke, Lu Kuan pointed to Will next to him: "We have only one purpose, to make Rune City stronger and make everyone's life better, and our team also has orcs, you can also see it." ”

The strong orcs nodded when they heard this, because in addition to the ornately armored dwarves, there were elves, half-elves, half-orcs, and orcs in the ranks of Runeterra, and there was obviously no difference in status.

This is also what makes him the most tempted.

Thinking of this, the orc no longer hesitated, and immediately knelt down on one knee, bent down and said, "I am willing to return to Rune City!" ”

Seeing the leader's attitude, the other orcs also knelt down towards Lu Kuan, Lu Kuan curled the corners of his mouth, and said: "What should I do, I still have to discuss with Captain Rhone, but you can pack up your things first and set it up, and Master Will will tell you the specific matters." ”

As he spoke, Lu Kuan gave Will a look, and Will nodded knowingly, letting these orcs stand in two rows, and under the "guard" of the dwarves, slowly walked in the direction of Rune City.

"Is that appropriate?" Baker on the side helped his helmet and rushed to Lu Kuandao.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Lu Kuan jumped down from the dragon's back, looked at the distant backs of the orcs, and said lightly: "The permanent population of Rune City in its heyday should be more than 100,000. ”

Baker said: "Yes, about 120,000, before being raided, the Dwarf King just conducted a population count, if you count people of other races, there are about 150,000. ”

"For such a large city to truly prosper, population is indispensable,"

Lu Kuan stretched out his arm and drew a circle in the air: "If the population is large, the core strength of the city must not be less, otherwise it will be chaotic, think about it, even if all the remaining rune dwarves are recovered, counting other friends, how many of us are there?" Five hundred? ”

Seeing that Baker lowered his head and fell silent, Lu Kuan patted the other party's shoulder and said, "The tradition of rune dwarves must be preserved, but it is also necessary to make appropriate use of other forces, doesn't the creed of the Temple of Dom also include the coexistence of multiple races?" ”

“…… I'm just worried that these orcs won't be honest. Baker was wordlessly refuted by Lu Kuan's words, and sighed.

"Don't worry, I know it." Lu Kuan smiled without worry.

At this time, in Lu Kuan's field of vision, a brand-new panel that he had never seen before was clearly suspended in mid-air.

”

This panel only appeared two days ago, when Lu Kuan, together with Mongo and Celia, rescued 20 rune dwarf slaves from Rapidwater Harbor.

After escorting these people back to Rune City, such a panel suddenly popped up in front of Lu Kuan, and behind Lu Kuan's own name on the panel, the three words that can be improved can be clicked, and a progress bar can be seen after clicking.

"Prestige Progress: 4%"

Does this also have something to do with prestige? Could it be that if the prestige progress is increased to 100%, he will be able to succeed him as the lord of Rune City?

Lu Kuan had never had a similar experience, but when he saw such a thing, the excitement in his heart was still inevitable - Heaven Eternal Gloomy was so excited to make a small station, if he could become the ruler of a city, even if it was a small city, it could be regarded as a hegemon!
