Chapter 175: Struggle for hegemony and the orcs sending troops
Seeing these people starting to get busy, Lu Ning ignored them.
He wandered around the city alone.
There are mostly a few houses and shops in the city, including blacksmith shops, clothing shops, and taverns.
In addition to houses, there are also some fields here where vegetables and fruits are grown.
Obviously, the fields here are only suitable for growing small fruits.
Wheat crops are grown outside the big city.
Lu Ning walked out of the city gate.
This place is now empty, with no orcs guarding it, and no orcs entering or exiting.
After leaving the city gate, there are large areas of crops outside.
This is the advantage of this world. There is no pollution and the environment is good.
At first glance, it is a lush green area.
If you don't think about the orcs, this place really looks like a kingdom in a fairy tale.
Lu Ning walked casually outside the city. The place was rich in resources and the land was fertile.
Mineral veins, mountains and forests, water sources, everything is available.
Everything here makes Lu Ning seem to have an illusion. He seems to be playing a hegemony game. He has just conquered the enemy's city and needs to develop slowly in the future.
"It's not enough for such a small number of people to die."
Lu Ning stood by a clear stream. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
This is the real world. It is difficult for human beings to survive now. If we can avoid killing people, we will do so.
This world is now ruled by orcs, who can dispatch more than 10,000 people in a random battle. Even if Lu Ning can escape unscathed from them, he cannot guarantee that the ordinary people in the city can also save their lives.
He couldn't stay here knowing that they would most likely die.
Therefore, he needs to consider the next step for these people as soon as possible.
The cunning rabbit made three holes, and he thought of the Taklimakan Desert that Ander mentioned before.
In this magical continent, every piece of land and sea has its own owner, just like the territory in the animal world. If you go to other people's territory at will, you will be attacked by the other party.
Only places like the Taklimakan Desert are left unattended.
He returned to the city and began to look through the information and maps.
In addition to checking information and maps, he will also ask questions from the female swan and female snake tribe.
The two of them had been untied by Lu Ning, but their legs were still chained with iron chains, with one end locked on their ankles and the other end tied to the pillar.
The two of them had magic, but they had no choice in the face of strong chains.
"The Taklimakan Desert is close to the Warcraft Mountains, and the climate there is extremely harsh." Martha, the female swan, replied.
She also heard that it was the last place where humans could escape.
But she suspected that there was no one there at all and that everyone who fled there was dead.
After all, even orcs can't survive in such an environment, let alone humans.
"Starting from here, even if you take a gryphon to get there, it will take at least fifteen days." Aza, a female snake tribeswoman, said.
This is because the city of Portoia is remote. If you start from a big city, even if you fly, it will take a month.
"If your orc king sends troops now, how long will it take to get here?" Lu Ning asked.
This is the information he wants to know.
He was worried that if he left, the orcs would attack here.
"If discovered by the patrolling gryphon cavalry."
"He has been killed by me." Lu Ning said casually.
When they heard that the Griffin Cavalry had been killed by Lu Ning, their pupils shrank again, and they even became cautious about speaking again.
"It would take at least five days for ordinary orcs to convey the news to the king. When the king sends troops, it would take almost fifteen days at the fastest. I said the fastest."
Aza shook the snake's tail as he spoke.
It's almost fifteen days.
But Lu Ning naturally knew that based on his speed, he would naturally be faster than the Griffin at full speed.
He still has this bit of confidence.
According to this estimate.
feasible!
So Lu Ning put the two of them in prison and placed them under strict supervision.
After he handed over Ender and Bourne, he set off for the Taklimakan Desert.
After leaving the city, Lu Ning looked for directions.
boom.
The ground exploded.
His body jumped out quickly.
Each step was a hundred meters, and the road was very fast, and soon we were out of the city of Portoa.
---------------
When Lu Ning rushed to the Taklimakan Desert, the city of Portua was occupied by humans, and the news that the royal family and a large number of orcs were killed soon reached the ears of the orc king.
In a magnificent palace.
This palace used to belong to humans, but since the defeat of humans, it has been occupied by orcs.
"Humans, humans who came out of nowhere, dare to occupy our big city of the orcs."
āIām so impatient to live!ā
A tiger-headed man sits on the throne.
He has a burly body, and the character "ē" naturally grows from the stripes on his head, which makes him extremely powerful.
At this time, he frowned slightly, looking calm and confident.
Standing below are strong men among the orcs.
There are tauren, fox-headed people, snake-headed people, tiger-headed people, etc.
Facing the angry king, they did not dare to speak easily.
the next day.
The orc army gathers quickly, and a total of 10,000 orcs will set out to destroy the city of Portua occupied by humans.
Among the ten thousand orcs, most are wolf-headed and kobolds, with a small number of centaurs and tauren.
There is only one tiger-headed man.
There are four more sacrifices, two from the Fox tribe and two from the Snake tribe.
In their opinion, such a large formation was enough to easily defeat the small city of Portoa.
More than 10,000 orc troops moved forward slowly, the ground shook, and dust flew up from the ground.
Viewed from a high place, the orc army looks like a winding giant snake. The giant snake meanders on the ground, soon crosses the mountains, and then slowly turns into a black dot and disappears.
the other side.
Lu Ning was extremely fast and ran wildly on the road.
When you encounter mountains and climb over mountains, you will step on water when you see it.
His physical strength is very good. Except for going back to Lanxing at night to hug the maid to sleep, he is always on the road the rest of the time.
Sometimes he will encounter some wild beasts, even monsters.
But his speed was too fast. Before they could react, Lu Ning turned into a gust of wind and rushed past them.
Some wild beasts and monsters fled away in fright.
In just ten days, Lu Ning reached the Taklimakan Desert.
The environment here is indeed harsh, much worse than Lu Ning imagined.
I originally thought it was just like a desert on Earth, but I didn't expect the environment to be several times worse than deserts on Earth.
The temperature during the day is as high as 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, and at night the temperature drops to minus 40 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between morning and night is huge.
He also began to doubt in his heart, could human beings really survive in such an environment?
At least he hasn't seen a single figure so far, not even a ghost.
He did not give up and continued to search.
As Lu Ning continued to advance, the surrounding environment changed again, from desert to cracked land, but the surrounding temperature had dropped, from the original sixty degrees to over fifty degrees.
It's daytime now.
Looking up, you can see the sun in the sky is extremely dazzling, and the hot sunlight is shining as bright as it can.
The distant scenery is distorted by the huge temperature.
There was not a single tree or wild grass around.
Such dry ground is worse than the drought on Blue Star.
Just when Lu Ning thought there was no one in this place, cacti began to appear in front of him one after another.
The temperature dropped again.
This gave Lu Ning hope.
But even though there were cacti, there were still no people.
Only some insects can occasionally be seen on the ground, such as ants or scorpions.
Going further in, the terrain gradually becomes lower, like a basin.
Unfortunately there is no water in the basin.
The wind started to get stronger.
The sky became dark again.
After walking a little further inside, the sky was completely gloomy, pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers when I stretched out my hand.
Seeing that there was no result today, Lu Ning opened the door to time and space and returned to Blue Star.
In Lanxing's room, Shi Ping'er was lying on his bed.
"It's better to be in Wenwen Township."
Lu Ning reached out and hugged the delicate little body in his arms, and the fatigue of the day seemed to be released.
"Hey~" The body of Keren'er in her arms trembled slightly.
After the water and milk blended together, Shi Ping'er lay in Lu Ning's arms.
She began to talk to Lu Ning about recent events, such as whose aunt in town came to play with them again.
Also where to eat delicious food and what interesting things I saw.
When Shi Ping'er said that, there was a smile on his face.
Because Lu Ning loves several people, although they are all maids, in the eyes of outsiders, they are already regarded as Lu Ning's concubines, and they all respect them very much.
Even in order to please and curry favor with them, some concubines from wealthy families would often give them gifts.
"A college student came back from the provincial capital yesterday, and she brought back a camera. It looks great."
"You like it."
"Uh-huh."
"I'll buy you one another day, sir."
"Thank you, sir." Shi Ping'er happily kissed Lu Ning on the face.
Lu Ning's body was ignited again, and he turned over and pressed on top of her.
The next day, Lu Ning returned to the Magic Continent.
He came a little early today and found some small water drops hanging on the cactus.
Some cacti were also found to have signs of being picked.
"Is it an animal or a human?"
He checked carefully.
At this moment, he saw a black shadow shaking in the distance a few kilometers away.
