After defeating the orcs and goblins entrenched in Dongqiu, the Nornguard immediately marched with all his troops. Taking advantage of the fact that the main camp of the Fireblade Clan had not yet made any move, Nornwei forced his way through Dongqiu, and then plunged headlong into the mountains and forests south of the Mist Lake.

The main camp of the Fireblade Clan quickly learned of the movements of the human forces, and immediately sent a large force in pursuit.

The large orc army is led by fireblade orcs, with ordinary orcs as the backbone, plus a large number of goblins who are extremely poorly organized and disciplined. Such troops are so aggressive but certainly not as fast that they have only just reached the edge of the forests by the time the human forces have fully entered the southern forests.

Do you keep chasing, or do you just turn back? The leading fireblade orc was undoubtedly a violent temper, and with a wave of the long knife in his hand, he said: Chase! An army of orcs and goblins poured into the forest.

The road in the mountains and forests is not very easy to walk, but the orcs are all strong and strong, and they don't care at all, and they have no brains to pursue. Then they crashed headlong into the ambush circle deliberately designed by Fang Qiuling.

First was the concentrated shooting of the strong bow and crossbow, then the flaming glue burning flask like a grenade, and finally the lead charge of the three silver-rank powerhouses. The ambushed orc army was caught off guard, leaving behind more than fifty corpses and countless goblins.

It stands to reason that orcs also live in the mountains and forests, and should be used to fighting in the mountains and forests. Somehow they would have slipped into the trap so easily, unaware of the signs of the ambush circle.

After knowing Fang Qiuling's confusion, the pointy-eared elf gave an answer.

Orcs are mostly short-tempered and rather dull, and it's not that they don't see all kinds of traces, but they can't associate them with their enemies. Only the old orcs, or the wise among the orcs, will judge the enemy according to various traces. Ordinary orcs tend to turn a blind eye to all kinds of traces, and only care about the "orc three questions".

- Is this edible enough?

- Is this okay hey?

- Has this ever been beaten?

Fang Qiuling immediately had another question: if the orcs were really so stupid, why did the elven race always fall behind in the confrontation with the orcs? A few more ambushes and traps shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.

To this question, Aegno Morrowind, the leader of the Elven Demon Marksman, gave an answer with a wry smile.

If the elves are the owners of the house, then the orcs are the thieves who try to enter the house and rob it. As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves.

As long as an orc is found, the elves will inevitably strike a thorough and merciless blow to them. But no matter how you clean it up, there will always be fish that slip through the net. Even if all the future orcs are annihilated, after a while, there will still be groups of orcs and begin to infest the elven village again. In order to protect the village, the elves can only take up arms again and fight the orcs again.

Elves can carry out countless rounds of orcs and win countless victories, but as long as one of them is not timely and the battle situation is unfavorable, then the entire group will face a large number of orcs under siege, and then start a difficult battle to defend the village.

Elves' long life cycle determines their relatively low fertility rate and relatively long growth period, while orcs have a slightly higher fertility rate. The orcs don't care about the casualties of their tribe, and the loss of every elf makes the elven tribe grieve. So no matter how you fight, how beautiful the exchange ratio is, and the numerical disadvantage allows the elves to only gain a temporary advantage, but overall they are always at the point of being passively beaten.

- If you can't beat the orcs, can't you move the village away?

The twins posed such a question to Aegno Morrowind. And Aegno Morrowind's wry smile was even worse.

Elune's civilization is still far from industrialized, with dense forests stretching across the continent. However, most of these forests have owners, either hill dwarves or human mountain people. And those forests that have no owner, dark creatures such as goblins, gnolls, and ogres are entrenched on them.

Except for Yongju Island, there are actually very few elven forests on the mainland, and every elven village is precious. In short, it is really difficult to leave the homeland, and there is no way to retreat......

By the way, the elves who came with Lily also had a purpose. The elves learned that a human nobleman wanted to follow the example of their ancestors in the vast Black Forest south of Karthas, and they wanted to gain the right to live in a new territory in the Black Forest, so they came to take the service.

As for how did the elves know about this human nobleman...... Fang Qiuling had also asked, and the elf's answer made him have no idea but roll his eyes.

- The prophecy has led us here.

How many people have said this before? Forget it, don't think about it, so be it!

Repelling the pursuit of the orc forces, the Norn guard began a long march. Jingpo Lake Forest, no, it should be called the Frost Mist Forest now. The Frost Mist Forest is dense and vast, in the middle of the woodland, there are trees everywhere you look, and even the path under your feet is obscured by a large number of weeds and vines, and the daily movement is extremely slow.

It's a must-go on the way to Norn. Fang Qiuling originally planned to recruit more than a dozen people and form a team to go over to investigate the situation first. But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and at this moment there were more than 500 people accompanying him, more than 100 horses, more than 30 cattle and sheep, and four large and two small griffons. It was far beyond Fang Qiuling's plan.

Such a large team can already be regarded as marching through the forest, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as overcoming thorns and thorns. The vanguard unit is even more responsible for opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water. At the same time, more than 500 mouths and more than 130 animals need to eat and drink, and the daily consumption of food and water should not be underestimated. If it were in this world, the person in charge of logistics would definitely have a sad face and an ugly face. Not to mention whether there are enough supplies to consume, just how to transport them is maddening enough. At this time, the "unreasonableness" of the high magic world showed its advantages.

The general impression of the mountain forest is like this: all kinds of board carts and carts are piled with sacks, surrounded by people shouting and pushing and pulling hard, and from time to time there will be sudden incidents when the wheels fall into potholes, or the axles will be directly broken; Cattle and horses are also full of supplies, and from time to time a horse will collapse from exhaustion, struggling but unable to get up again.

The actual situation: the marching procession moved forward in an orderly manner, with no piles of supplies in sight and no loud trumpets.

So the question is, where did the supplies go, could it be that everyone is an immortal who eats and sleeps in the open? The answer is storage power-ups.

When Fang Qiuling had just crossed, he had five storage bags in his hand and a storage ring in his hand. The first time he crossed over, he was completely passive and unprepared, but the magic items and supplies in the storage bag could barely make him worry about food and clothing.

The next few times he opened the Otherworldly Gate were planned, so each time he stuffed his storage bag to the brim. If he were alone in eating and drinking, the stuffed storage bag would be enough for him to consume for three months without replenishment. If you save a little food and drink, you should be able to do it for four months.

Of course, the materials that Fang Qiuling carried with him were enough for him and a few friends, and now that the whole team has so many mouths, it is definitely not enough. Currently, the largest storage magic item in the team is with Pastor Eddard, which is the treasure at the bottom of the chest of the Notos Temple in Lakesprings, and is kept by the priests in turn.

This treasure is called "St. Akromie's Storehouse" and is a secret treasure. In Elune's World, this thing is a storage bag with a capacity of up to fifty slots. In the present world, it is a boxy wooden treasure chest. According to the relevant documents of the temple of Notos, the space inside it was extremely large, and the full reserve could sustain a cavalry force of 3,000 men for three months.

Three thousand people ate and drank for three months, and they were cavalry, what is this concept? Fang Qiuling roughly calculated, and then was directly shocked.

- I'm still too young to have enough imagination!

According to the healthy diet consumption standard of the residents of the current flower growers in recent years, the per capita food consumption of a year is about 400 kilograms. Three months, or a quarter of a year, requires 100 kilograms. The ration for 3,000 people, that is, 300,000 kilograms, 300 tons.

In addition to the soldiers, the cavalry also needed rations for the horses. One horse can eat about the same amount as four soldiers, and three thousand horses are equivalent to twelve thousand soldiers, and the rations required are about four thousand eight hundred tons.

Together, the men and horses needed more than 5,000 tons of food rations. Fang Qiuling made a rough calculation, and the result was that it would take a warehouse more than seven meters high and an area of one thousand square meters to fit it. It's not so much storage space as a half-plane!

- St. Akromy's warehouse, the gospel of the legion's logistics, can be described as a must for marching and fighting, and going out for a long journey!

But...... There is a slight "glitch" with this treasure that makes it necessary to be careful when using it.

The original owner of St. Akromi's storehouse was undoubtedly St. Akromi, who was active in the last era and served the sun god as a priest. More than 800 years ago. St. Akromie was a transcendent who stepped into the realm of legends and was extremely devout to the sun god. Because St. Akromi had held this treasure for a long time, her own law power had penetrated the core of the treasure, giving it a rudimentary spiritual power.

Any move to St. Akromy's warehouse must be touched with both hands. For example, it can be easily picked up by hand, and then the owner can choose any means of transportation, such as a car or horseback, and the weight of St. Akromy's warehouse matches its wooden appearance.

But as long as there is no contact between the hands, the warehouse of St. Akromy becomes extremely heavy, and even several horses cannot move it even if they are pulled together, as if it were a heavy mountain.

If there is only one feature, then just arrange for one person to move. The problem is that anyone who touches St. Akromi's warehouse for more than a certain amount of time will have an effect on the minds of those who come into contact with it. The contact person will turn into an idiot who will only praise the sun! It takes a full week to recover after disengagement.

This "certain time" is determined by the contact's own strength, the silver rank is about three hours, the black iron rank is about one hour, and the non-rank must not exceed half an hour. Perhaps because St. Akromi himself was a priest, priests and priests, regardless of their strength, were able to contact for six hours.

Therefore, this secret treasure, which always seems to make people praise the sun, can only be carried by the accompanying priests first. Fang Qiuling sincerely hoped that Pastor Ed would be careful, he didn't want a few more idiots in the team who could only praise the sun after a while!
