Just when Henry's investigation of the spies in the Netherworld was in trouble, the orcs of the northern city of Weywood finally ended a full winter of recuperation and sent a large number of troops to advance into the depths of the Supreme Wasteland again, and Fugner did not forget that he had promised Henry that he would transport enough slaves by May, so he did not hesitate to start moving as soon as the weather warmed up.

Of course, it wasn't just the orcs who participated in the slave hunt, a large number of human adventurers and mercenaries also joined in. They had seen last winter that this no-capital business was profitable, and that it could be legalized by paying a portion of the tax, and could there be anything more exciting in the world?

Ogres, trolls, giants, and bear goblins may be difficult monsters for most ordinary humans to deal with, but ordinary goblins and kobolds are not much of a threat, and any adult can put two or three at a time, so this mighty slave hunting team is enthusiastic, and his mind is full of ideas to get rich overnight.

There is no way, the orcs are too profitable in the slave trade, especially the mines, quarries and caravans prefer coolies that do not need to be paid, although they need to spend a lot of money at one time, but in the next few years, as long as the slaves do not die, they can earn back several times, dozens of times, and because slaves are not protected by the law, it doesn't matter if they are squeezed to death.

In particular, kobolds, who are good at mining, are simply the favorite of all mine owners, as long as they are chained up and sent to a few overseers with leather whips, the efficiency is completely twice that of human workers, plus the small amount of food and the need to pay no wages, they will be snapped up almost as soon as they appear on the market.

Looking at the mighty troops. Fugner whispered to Alan beside him, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Did you see that? This is the Northland. With the exception of a few famous big cities, ordinary people don't care about law and morality at all. They become more ferocious and dangerous in a long and difficult environment, and are even willing to sell their souls to the devil for profit. It is precisely because of this that our majesty has seen through this and has set the direction of Wood's unique direction, and at the same time, it can also expand to the north, and perhaps in a few years the outer edge of the Supreme Wasteland will become the second great granary of the kingdom. ”

After listening to the orc viscount's explanation, Alan nodded thoughtfully: "I see, the people here are more admiring the law of the jungle. But aren't they worried about their lives? Capturing slaves in the treacherous wilderness is no easy task, and even the warriors you take in are likely to suffer some casualties, not to mention the undisciplined adventurers and mercenaries. Also, you'd better stop calling me Crown Prince, I'm just an advisor from the Mage Tower. ”

He had been in the Savage City of the North for two months, and he had claimed to be the chief apprentice of the Mage Tower, and had slightly changed his hair color and face shape in order to avoid being recognized, and only Fugna and Sarah Brightman knew the true identity of the young boy.

During this time, he was not in a hurry to venture into the wilderness, but quietly stayed in the mage tower to study and research. The rest of the day is spent wandering around the city to learn how the locals behave and think.

Allen's composure, steadyness, and terrifying intelligence beyond ordinary people. Not only did Sarah Brightman surprise, but even Fugner couldn't help but sigh that what kind of father there is a son, so he sent an invitation to him while hunting, hoping to establish a relationship with each other.

After all, as an orc, Fugner knew that he could not live long, maybe he would die of old age after ten to twenty years, and whether his descendants could continue to have a place among the nobility of the kingdom depended on the care of the royal family, otherwise it would be easy to be marginalized.

You must know that the idea that "if you are not of my race, your heart must be different" is very common in the continent of Faeron, otherwise many people would not laugh at Erastro's daydream of wanting to build a multi-racial harmonious coexistence country.

In order to completely integrate into the aristocratic circle, Fugner can be said to have gone to great lengths, and even spent a lot of money to marry a noble lady, and it is said that the gift alone is worth more than 50,000 gold coins, which is basically equivalent to spending money to buy people, and the purpose is only to want an heir with human blood.

He knew very well that maybe purebred orcs would never be accepted by high society, but most of the enlightened nobles treated half-orcs okay, although they would inevitably be discriminated against, but at least they would not even be given a chance.

Most of the time, marriages between aristocratic men and women were naked exchanges and alliances, so the poor girl didn't even have a chance to resist, she was sold by her parents to the old and ugly orcs, and after a winter of hard work, she finally succeeded in conceiving a few days ago, and she could give birth to a mixed-race baby in January next year.

After receiving the news, Fugner was simply overjoyed, and almost obeyed the young human wife, although the girl did not get the prince charming of her dreams, but she got a good husband, and her children will also become the only heir to the title, so that she will no longer be obsessed with her husband's ugly appearance, and settle down to be a rich viscountess, enjoying a life of extreme luxury.

It is precisely because of this transformation that Fugner feels the taste of happiness, and he is smiling with wrinkles all over his face along the way, and the whole person seems to have a second youth.

He pointed to the heavily armed orc warriors and explained with a smile: "Mercenaries and adventurers are not stupid, they are only responsible for encircling the monsters defeated by my warriors, and will not participate in frontal attacks at all, so the danger is not great. ”

"Oh? Are you just watching them take your booty? ”

There was an incredible look in Alan's eyes. With what he knew about orcs, it was impossible for these guys to give away the good things they had for nothing, let alone slaves who could sell a lot of gold coins at the turn of hands.

"Hahahaha! Anyway, they're not all picking up cheap, but they can still play a lot of use, for example, these people can provide a lot of help in tracking, and my people can't catch all the guys who escaped, so they should be helping each other. After saying that, Fugner took out the wine bag on his waist and poured it hard.

There was another reason he didn't say. That's what Henry once warned not to eat alone. Otherwise, it is easy for the surrounding human beings to develop hatred of the rich. When the time comes, it will be difficult to get their approval.

Although this state will lose a little money now, it is actually earned in the long run, look at these adventurers and mercenaries who have begun to accept and attach themselves to the orc army, after they have obtained the benefits, they will definitely spread the enlightenment of the ruler of Wywood City, as long as the reputation is established, it will not be long before all the surrounding villages will be slowly absorbed.

Just as Alan was about to ask for something more, there was a sudden screeching sound at the front of the line, which could be heard clearly even from such a distance.

No doubt. This is a sound arrow that is fired only when a scout has spotted a large group of enemies, and its main function is to remind the large army to prepare for battle.

When Fugner, who originally seemed a little lazy, heard the alarm, his expression immediately changed, and he jumped directly from the carriage and roared loudly: "The whole army stops advancing!" Array! Get ready to meet the enemy! The wolf cavalry is dispatched to show me who has the audacity to fight against the mighty orc warriors. ”

"Stop moving! Array! ”

"The wolf cavalry is out!"

"Whew!!"

With the shouts of the heralds and the howl of the wolves, the orc army of more than two thousand quickly began to inspect the armor and weapons, and soon laid out a formation to facilitate the charge according to the military discipline provided by Cory, with the archers in the front row, the sword and shield infantry followed, and the spearmen followed. Finally, there are the Praetorian Guards, armed with tomahawks and two-handed greatswords.

After a winter of training, the orc soldiers were already very familiar with this method of warfare. Therefore, it seemed that there was no chaos at all, and the arrangement was completed in just a few minutes, just waiting for the other party to appear in the field of vision.

As for the wolf cavalry on both sides, there were not many of them, only a little over a hundred, because these giant wolves ate too much, and the animal husbandry around Wywood City was not enough to feed too much. Their main role is not to charge into battle, but to carry out sneak attacks from the flanks and rear, so that the enemy feels feared and frightened, so as to achieve the purpose of disrupting the formation,

Since learning to use tactics and formations, the bloodthirsty orcs quickly discovered the benefits, and they can easily defeat their enemies in each encounter with monsters, so they train extremely seriously, and now is the time to test their power.

Adventurers and mercenaries did not hesitate to stay away from the battlefield, lying in ambushes on the flanks, and as soon as the army achieved a decisive advantage, they would rush up like sharks smelling of blood and tear off a piece of flesh from the enemy.

The waiting time was always the hardest, but luckily the scouts ahead didn't make Fugner wait too long, and it took less than ten minutes for him to appear in view.

This is a halfling thief, he looks quite wolf at the moment, and his leather armor has several arrows stuck in it, but fortunately the arrows are made of bone, and the penetration is very poor, and he is not too badly injured.

"Orcs! Gnolls! And countless goblins! They seem to have formed an alliance! We're heading this way, and we're about to get there! He ran as hard as he could, shouting at everyone.

"Damn! Hurry up and bring the little man over, and I suddenly have a bad premonition. Fugner frowned and instructed the guards beside him.

As a chieftain who led his tribe in the struggle to survive in the Supreme Wasteland, he knew better than anyone what it meant for multiple tribes to unite in this wild land.

That's barbarism's war and plunder of civilization!

On average, every ten years, the surrounding villages and cities are devastated, and they are overwhelmingly numerous, and few towns can hold them.

Obviously, this time the Horde Alliance was coming for Wywood City, because there was no second city in the vicinity to attack them and loot them, and there was nothing worse than this news for the orcs who had just been given a chance to recuperate.

All of a sudden, the clouds of war hung over everyone's heads, and even Allen, who was accompanying him, felt the oppression and tension in the air, and he even smelled the smell of conspiracy, someone must be deliberately targeting the Kingdom of West Hartland...... (To be continued......)
