September is the month when the season turns cool.
The hot summer passed and the cool autumn came.
But for the desert of death, even in early autumn, the heat is still daunting.
Moreover, due to the end of the summer rainy season, the autumn of the dead desert is even drier. Coupled with the weather that is often out of season from time to time, the dryness and high temperature are enough to make people crazy
Only orcs with thick skin and flesh can adapt to this climate.
North of the death desert.
A line of human caravans full of goods is moving slowly.
There were about 60 or 70 people in the caravan, and there were about 20 carriages. On one side of each carriage there was a black hawk sign, which attracted much attention.
It's the sole logo of the Soren chamber of Commerce.
The strongest side of the caravan was a human warrior on a camel, about thirty years old.
He wore leather armour and a black hawk badge on his chest, which was a trade token owned by the leader of Soren chamber of Commerce, and also a proof of his identity and status.
In Soren chamber of Commerce, only powerful silver professionals can have such a badge.
He looked at the sun in the sky for a while, then took out his water bag to drink. While wiping sweat, he swore:
"this is the hell of the weather!"
Even silver professionals can't stand such high temperature before they can realize the complete transformation of their physique without advanced golden level.
The caravan gradually advanced, bypassed one barren hill after another, and finally came to an oasis.
Oasis scale is not large, surrounded by a shallow lake, the Bank of the lush reed and desert poplar.
Around the oasis, there are hundreds of tents and thatched houses.
And the orcs, who were strong and dressed in crude leather armour or hemp, were busy.
This is an orc settlement.
Death desert has a bad climate, especially lack of water. Only similar oases can become the land of life.
After seeing the orc settlement, the leader of the chamber of commerce finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The orcs also noticed the arrival of the caravan, and there was a clear commotion throughout the settlement.
Especially after noticing the Black Hawk logo of the chamber of Commerce.
The warlord turned his lips as the orcs cast a mixture of greed, curiosity, desire, and vigilance, sweeping their ragged equipment and clothing.
"Inferior race is inferior race..."
He said to himself.
Even if human beings are not even black iron race, they still don't look up to these stupid big men with only muscles in their brains.
This is determined by the comprehensive strength of the race, as well as the strength of the God.
But soon, the caravan leader changed into a warm smile.
He turned down from his camel and yelled at the settlement:
"Shalu! I'm Andres! The goods you want have arrived
The silver professional's voice was loud and soon spread throughout the settlement.
A moment later, accompanied by a burst of laughter, a tall, scarred Orc priest came out of the settlement surrounded by several Orc fighters.
He came to the caravan and looked at the full truck with a satisfied expression.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Andres!"
He laughed to the caravan leader, Andres.
Andres gave him a surprised look and said:
"eh? Have you been promoted to silver? "
This is a silver priest!
You know, silver professionals are not common among orcs. Even if the magic power begins to revive, due to the limitation of racial potential, there are few silver strongmen among orcs.
Not to mention a rare priest.
In such a small settlement with hundreds of tents, the number of soldiers who can survive is only 1000. Apart from the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there are at most five or six hundred soldiers. Generally speaking, no priest of silver rank is born.
So Andreas was surprised.
He did not smuggle much in the desert of death, but he thought he knew a lot about orcs because he had studied at Imperial College and studied Orc culture.
And hearing Andres's surprise, the orc priest named saru looked very proud.
He chuckled, and then his expression became solemn and devout.
"Praise the winter, praise the hunting! They are all the blessings of the father
He drew a bow on his chest.
Andreas suddenly realized that the other side had been blessed by the real God, and then he was promoted.
After that, he motioned to the subordinates of the caravan to open the truck, and then said to the orc priest:
"here, the 500 pieces of imperial equipment you want, as well as the grain, are all the latest. Check it out."At his words, the orc priest's eyes lit up:
"great! Now the soldiers of our tribe can give full play
He waved to the orcs behind him, and the orcs came forward one after another to examine the cargo.
A moment later, the orc warrior who looked up nodded to Shalu, and Shalu's smile became more enthusiastic:
"I knew that Soren chamber of Commerce will always be a friend of orcs!"
"Mr. Andres, and all the friends of the Terrans, come to our tribe and have a rest. It's been a long time. We've got drinks ready."
He invited the caravan.
Andreas nodded, directing the caravan to rest in the orc horde.
He didn't worry about cheating, even the silver professionals who had appeared in this small tribe.
Maybe he would be wary of orcs on weekdays, but this time the other side would not dare to mess around.
Because this transaction was negotiated between the orc King court of the dead desert and the senior level of Soren chamber of Commerce. It is said that there seems to be a stronger endorsement of existence
Andreas himself led only one of the many Soren caravans that traded with orcs.
Drinking the sweet sand spring, Andrews sat in the cool shade, eating his carry on dry food, squinting at the orcs excitedly dividing their wagons.
To his surprise, it wasn't just Shalu who had improved, but the orc warriors had also become more powerful.
According to his understanding, the average strength of orcs in the death desert should be in the middle of black iron, and only a few warriors can reach the top.
However, nearly half of these orcs have been promoted to the top of black iron!
This made Andreas a little surprised. He speculated that 80% of them were written by the hunting church.
And a moment later, a few orcs with wheelbarrows were led down to him by the priest.
There are three wheelbarrows, each full of fur.
It is the skin of a rare Warcraft "sand spotted leopard", which is unique to the death desert. It is very beautiful. It is a valuable luxury in the human world, and the smuggling profit is very high.
These three furs, sold to the human world, are enough to top 700 sets of excellent armor and enough food for a small Orc tribe for three months.
"Good!"
Andres looked satisfied at the fur.
However, his eyes did not stop, but looked back expectantly.
What else? That You know, private goods. "
He laughed and asked meaningfully.
Hearing Andres's words, the orc priest first smiles and then nods in the same meaningful way:
"of course, there are also smugglers."
Then, he winked at the orc behind him, while the other half nodded, and another Orc pushed a carriage tightly covered with gray cloth.
As soon as Andres saw this, he quickly stepped forward and carefully uncovered a corner of the gray cloth.
Under the gray cloth is a cage.
In the cage, three beautiful young female spirits are tightly bound, shivering.
"Only three?"
Andres frowned.
"Hey, it's not easy. You know that the forest of elves has been making a lot of noise recently. These three were caught by us blocking the road of the dark mountains. They were all going back to the forest of elves from iris kingdom."
"However, this is also the limit. Recently, the dark mountains have begun to have those evil spirits around, and we have lost a lot of manpower."
The orc priest shook his head.
Andres frowned a little at his words.
Elves are the most valuable luxury slaves in the black market, and also the capital of Soren chamber of Commerce.
However, since last year, a true spirit, who inherited the world tree's priesthood, was born among the elves, which brought the trade of elves slaves to a low ebb
The true God, Eve, is said to be a follower of death.
Last year, he defeated the orcs' crusade against the Elven forest, and helped the secret city-state alliance of the underground world defeat the dark city-state alliance. It can be said that the myth of growing popularity in the past year exists.
According to legend, he created an immortal army of elves by the power of the God of death, and won many victories by virtue of the power of the undead army.
However, the details are full of rumors.
No one knows exactly what happened to the so-called undead legion of elves.
Some of them are from the outside world, some are dead spirits, some are spirits eroded by the power of the abyss, and there are even rumors that there is never an undead army of elves, because the elves are not suitable to be soldiers. Those so-called elves are disguised by the spirits of deathIn short It's complicated and mysterious.
Even in the human world, many adventurers and bards have been curious about him recently, and many of them have plans to go to the forest of elves.
That is to say, the true God publicly declared to protect the elves, which led to fewer and fewer elves flowing into the black market, and those elves slaves who had been living peacefully also fled on a large scale.
The profits of Soren chamber of Commerce have also been hit.
However, the decrease in the number of elves' slaves has also led to a rise in prices. These three female elves, if sold now, could easily sell for several times the price they had a few years ago.
There was some consolation in Andreas's mind.
In the same way, he could almost have predicted that orcs would be asking more.
Sure enough, after showing him the Elven slaves, the orc priest quickly whispered:
"and Now the king's court does not allow us to capture the elves, and requires that all the elves caught must be executed on the spot Just these three, or I secretly left you. "
"I took a lot of risk, so Hey, hey, hey, you know. "
"Good friend! I'll buy them for twice the price
Andreas patted the other on the shoulder and said briskly.
At his words, the orc priest's eyes were pleasantly surprised.
However, the surprise was seen in Andres's eyes, but in the bottom of his heart, he despised each other a little
For orcs, Royal orders often mean orders from the hunting church.
It is very possible that the black iron priest cheated and buried for the benefit of the emperor. However, it was the first time that a silver priest dared to violate the order of the royal court
"The lower race is the lower race, even the silver priest's faith is not so pious."
Andres despised in the bottom of his heart.
Of course, it would be less surprising if he knew that the other side was forced to enhance his strength by the God of cold winter and hunting.
The deal between the two sides was very pleasant.
While the men were busy carrying the goods, the two leaders continued to chat about the recent happenings of the human world and the desert of death.
Intelligence is often a resource of high value.
"Ah, recently, oak hand members have appeared in iris Kingdom, and some of our smuggling strongholds have been destroyed. It's really hateful..."
"It's all because of the presence of evil spirits in the forest of spirits, otherwise We can still go hunting there. "
"Evil god? I have heard that he is the real God
"Hey! If it's not the evil god, how can the elves become so evil? "
"Yes, so You are also buying equipment and grain. Are you really planning to attack the elf forest again before winter comes? "
"Mr. Andres, it's about our secrets. Even if we're friends, we can't tell the details."
"Well, what are you doing behind the scenes? I heard that the top management of our chamber of commerce is going to send mercenaries to support you. We are all allies..."
"True or false?"
"It seems that you don't know. In fact, our Soren chamber of commerce is also the product of the red elf forest, and it's just hard to make a move."
"Hey, Mr. Andres, don't talk nonsense. We orcs belong to the elves!"
"I know, the Millennium contract! But you didn't keep it
"Who knows there will be evil spirits?"
"Come back again..."
"Hey In any case, our strength is no longer what it used to be. This time, we are sure to win, and we will certainly clear away the humiliation of last year. The evil spirits of the Elves will not be arrogant for a long time! "
Said the orc priest haughtily.
Is this not what it used to be
Hearing the other side's words, Andreas couldn't help but look at the active orcs around him.
Indeed, from the point of view of clan strength, orcs have been promoted too much.
Although the reason told him that this is absolutely abnormal, but the strength of the promotion is real.
A tribe like saru is just one of the many small Orc tribes.
They can organize and plan to send 500 Orc troops, so it seems that the orcs in the desert will really pour out
100000? Hundreds of thousands?
The last time it was recorded in the literature, should it be thousands of years ago?
It seems that at that time, orcs also poured out their nests to attack the forest of elves and finally established their position on the mainland.
Thinking about some of his knowledge of history, Andres sighed slightly:
"history is still similar..."
He squinted and looked into the sky.
The sun is still warm, the blue sky is like a huge blue mirror.Looking at the deep sky, Andreas said in surprise:
"eh? Is there a hawk in the desert of death
"Mountain Eagle?"
The orc priest frowned.
"We don't have any birds here."
He shook his head.
"Not a hawk? So What is it? "
Andreas was surprised and puzzled.
"Well?"
The orc priest followed his gaze -
there was no cloud in the sky.
Only a tiny golden figure incites the wings to hover
The figure was indistinct, like a golden eagle.
However, the wings are a little strange.
Suddenly, the golden figure began to lower
And gradually, the two people also see the outline of each other.
However, when they saw the outline clearly, they were even more surprised:
"dragon?"
It was a small golden dragon.
