It has been raining in Shenglong Port for two consecutive days. After the strong earthquake, some things here are quietly changing.
The muddy rainfall shrouded the entire Shenglong Port in a quagmire. The roads were unknowingly buried under the mud. People had to reduce the number of times they went out because they really lacked something to protect them from the wind and rain.
.
Even the most affluent members of the orc tribe only have one set of shabby clothes, and most people still rely on rainfall to bathe - now, they have no way to purify their bodies in muddy water.
As a result, the whole city was filled with a sour smell, because many people had not taken a shower for three consecutive days.
Before, it was because they didn't mind the smell. Now, I can only say that fortunately they don't mind the smell.
Three days have passed since the catastrophe, and the defenders in Shenglong Port have sent out a large number of scouts, hoping to contact the troops led by the Beast King.
But the news they brought back was not very optimistic. About 70 kilometers away from the city, the air would become more turbid, some of the rivers marked on the map had disappeared, and the scouts had no way to move forward.
They didn't find the Beast King's troops, so they couldn't even make a basic judgment. They didn't know whether the earth-shattering meteorite was a natural phenomenon or something summoned by the devil to destroy the world.
So they could only pray, then select some young soldiers to pick up weapons and climb the city wall to guard against the demonic troops that might suddenly appear.
As a result, on the morning of the fourth day, a group of embarrassed lion cavalry returned to the outskirts of Shenglong Port. Although they abandoned their helmets and armor, they did not lose many soldiers, which made many orc civilians feel at ease.
The most reassuring thing for everyone is that they brought back the news that the Beast King was safe and sound. The hundreds of thousands of troops that the Beast King took away belonged to various tribes, and the hundreds of thousands of carefully selected soldiers who were good at fighting were all safe and sound!
This news inspired the people, and troops returned one after another, bringing back more detailed news one after another.
It turns out that the Dragon King successfully predicted this meteorite fall, and the Beast King's troops retreated in advance, so they could avoid this complete disaster.
It turns out that this huge meteorite was not summoned by the devil - it was more likely that it was summoned by the Dragon King.
It turns out that the demon siege that everyone was worried about will never happen again. The demons near the Magic Eye have now been almost completely wiped out.
However, after countless exciting news, the lord of Thang Long City, Owa, discovered a serious problem.
He was worried and immediately met with the Beast Emperor Ericcia who had just returned to Shenglong Port: "Your Majesty! The food in the city has begun to run out! We can last for another day at most... We are about to run out of food!"
If it was just to support the people in the city, the food reserves would actually be enough to last for a while. But now, with the Beast King and hundreds of thousands of troops gathering here one after another, the food is being consumed too fast.
You know, food has always been a big problem that troubles the various tribes of the beastmen. The Beast King also took away a large amount of food stored by each tribe during this expedition.
As a result, because of that damn meteorite, next year's food production is now destined to be reduced, and the important food taken away no longer exists - even a fool knows that by this time next year, half of the orcs may have starved to death.
Under this situation, as the city lord of Holy Dragon Port and an important general of the orcs, Owa naturally hopes that the city under his control will not suffer from large-scale famine, so what he hopes most now is to send away the beast emperor Ericia as soon as possible.
The assembled troops.
Although disbanding this army will spread the pressure to other orc tribes, how can these troops be concentrated to feed these hundreds of thousands of mouths?
This is a real big mouth. Each orc warrior can eat the food of five normal humans! If you want them to be full, you may have to let them eat the food of two more people.
Moreover, these foods also include a lot of meat. After all, these are strong orc warriors, and the orcs are also a race that likes meat more than humans.
Not to mention that among these elite armies, there are also a large number of demonic lion mounts, which are big consumers of food.
Surprisingly, the Beast King was not very worried about the food problem. He patted Ova on the shoulder and said: "The Dragon King sent the news a few days ago that food will be transported to the Holy Dragon soon.
Hong Kong...maybe we will never have to go hungry again."
"No need to... go hungry anymore?" Ova didn't understand what the Beast King said. Starvation is a very common phenomenon in the Orcs. This is why up to now, the Orcs have no real aristocratic class.
The root cause of the occurrence.
When a wealthy orc tribe is excited about eating more grains every day, it is difficult to compare them with the elegant nobles of humans.
Although in the early days, humans were still at the level of not having enough to eat, the human nobles exploited the common people much more ruthlessly than the orcs.
"Yes, Owa! Since the Dragon Emperor correctly predicted that the meteor would fall to the earth, then he predicted that food would appear in the Holy Dragon Port, so there is no reason to doubt it." The Beast King told Owa confidently.
said.
Owa's mind was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he discovered that there was a huge loophole in this passage.
Even if the meteorite falls is a coincidence, it is something that has happened in nature. Such things can be predicted, and Owa thinks there is no problem.
But prophecy cannot make something that does not exist appear out of thin air - even the Dragon King cannot conjure the food and grass that hundreds of thousands of troops need to eat, right?
"Your Majesty! It may be possible to predict things like meteors in advance, but where does this food come from?" Ova asked in confusion.
No matter how shallow his knowledge was, he still knew that the orcs had dealt with humans before. The two sides were completely different from beggars and beggars. The orcs robbed human cities, but found that the other party's granaries could not support rats.
The relatively wealthy Magic Empire was able to rob food, but it didn't take long for the orcs to take into account the pressure from the dragons and elves and give up the war of plunder with humans.
In short, humans have a very bad impression of the orcs, and the orcs have always regarded humans as "cash machines."
It is impossible for humans to help the orcs tide over the difficulties. So where will the Dragon Emperor find food from when it comes to humans?
At the same time, an old orc man stood on a dilapidated small fishing boat, using a fishing net full of holes to try to catch some sea fish to supplement his family income. He stood in the single-layer wooden hull and let the seawater seep in under his feet.
Slapping his feet.
The Orcs are not a marine people, and their navy is weak. In fact, they don’t have any decent fishing boats, and their only shipbuilding technology was copied from humans back then.
After such a long period of changes, even humans' own sailboats have evolved into many types, but the shipbuilding technology of the orcs has not advanced but retreated.
They couldn't even make decent sailing ships anymore, so they could only rely on impressions to make some that looked different. They were slow in speed and low in carrying capacity, and the sailors couldn't even find their way off the coastline.
The old man from the orc tribe in front of him is already one of the few people in the orc tribe who can swim and is good at water.
With the ability to barely fish offshore, his food and clothing is not a problem. Recently, because the troops have returned to Shenglong Port, his fish and meat business has been getting better and better.
Many orc civilians who were afraid of running out of food came to him to buy dried fish, so that they could have enough to eat when the food was running out. This is why he came here by boat now. He wanted to save some money now. Fortunately,
When conditions permit, build a better sea-going ship.
At this moment, he was standing in his small wooden boat. On the other side of the fishing boat was a wooden barrel filled with several fresh fish.
The old fishing net was scattered on the side of the boat, and a sea fish was flapping around inside. The old orc fisherman in the boat paid no attention to it. He just raised his head and looked at a black shadow covering the sky above him.
It was a giant ship flying in the sky, and the floating magic array lit up underneath shone with dazzling light.
This old orc fisherman had never seen such a huge aircraft before him, and he could not even dream that such a thing could exist.
But now, he really saw such a thing, and he also saw a strange little thing spreading noise, rising from the huge spaceship and leaving in a hurry.
What he saw was a UH-60 utility helicopter. Ailan Hill sent out its own transport fleet, carrying a large amount of supplies, and arrived at the other end of the continent ahead of the transport fleet and came to the Holy Dragon of the Orcs.
Near the port.
These giant floating transport ships are filled with various supplies, as well as some engineering and technical personnel from Eiland Hill.
Of course, it is impossible for Chris to give so much free assistance to the Dragon King in vain. In fact, many good things in the orc territory are already in the Ailanshir Empire.
Therefore, these floating transport ships are also loaded with some of Ireland's mineral mining equipment - these technicians who arrived early will immediately start drilling and mining here.
For Eiland Hill, its dependence on energy is obvious. Therefore, everyone in this empire has an inexplicable love for new mines and oil fields.
The Dragon King assured Chris that human safety can be guaranteed in the orc territory.
No one doubts that the Dragon King's promise cannot be fulfilled, because no one doubts Ailan Hill's ability to retaliate! Sometimes, things are so simple...
