Chapter 417 [Treasure Land]
Lanlan and Tacitus were not slacking off. They conveyed Han Ye’s warning seriously and told everyone in the team. Tacitus even gave additional instructions to everyone that without his permission, no one was allowed to contact the local indigenous people without his permission!
When the boat leaves flowed downstream and gradually approached the canyon, several figures appeared on the observation deck piled up with stones at the entrance of the canyon.
Lanlan, Tacitus and others immediately identified it: Orcs!
These are the orcs of the hoof tribe. They are wearing very rough clothes, and the fabric is probably similar to some kind of linen, and they look very worn.
The orcs squeezed on the watchtower are probably all guardian characters, so they have at least some extra equipment, such as protective gear. Lanlan and Tacitus identified the bull-headed orc standing in front, wearing a piece of wooden armor.
This made them feel incredible.
Because this kind of protective gear made of wood is almost impossible to see in the Roland Continent. The protective gear made of wood is not excellent in defense and is very troublesome to preserve. Even leather armor is far better than wooden armor.
As for the weapons they use, they are pretty good. Although they look a little worn, they are made of metal, including an axe and a hammer.
Although it is obviously very crude, it is finally a weapon that looks like a little.
When the boat leaves slowly approached the canyon, the orcs standing at the entrance of the canyon obviously began to get nervous.
Some orcs ran back to the canyon quickly and shouted, while the rest of the orcs obviously made a very alert posture at the entrance of the canyon. From their appearance, Tacitus recognized that they were ready to fight at any time.
At this time, Han Ye came forward.
She flew and jumped up, her body slid lightly in the air, and then gently landed on the front of the front of the boat leaf on the river.
Han Ye took out something from his arms that seemed like a whistle, and he held it in his mouth and blew it.
A strange whistle passed, and the orcs standing at the entrance of the canyon were obviously relaxed.
Some orcs clearly saw Han Ye standing at the bow of the boat, put down their weapons, waved their arms in the direction of Han Ye, and shouted loudly.
Although I don’t know what they are calling, at least from the tone, it should be a welcome attitude.
When the human team arrived at the entrance of the canyon, the river happened to pass through the canyon, and at least twenty orcs had already run over the riverside of the canyon.
These are all strong male orcs. Although they are dressed in a simple manner, at least everyone has weapons in their hands.
Tacitus discovered that it can be seen from the equipment of these orcs that their lives were not easy.
There were only a few orcs who held iron weapons and looked quite crude.
Most orcs held weapons in their hands, just crude wooden sticks. Some even held bones of unknown beasts, but only sharpened one.
He even saw that there was a weapon in the hand of an orc, just a wooden stick. There was a stone with a sharpened blade tied to the top!!
Even the orc kingdom on the Roland Continent has been ridiculed by humans as a backward civilization.
But compared with the orcs in the Roland Continent, the orcs in front of them are simply a group of beggars.
But the contempt in his heart would not be placed on his face. Tacitus had quickly asked his subordinates to pass on the message again and reiterated his discipline.
Because of Han Ye, the leader, when the boat leaves were docking, these orcs did not stop them. What made Tacitus and others' scalp numb was that they clearly saw some strong orcs standing on the shore, holding something like a slingshot in their hands, and a pile of large and small stones.
It is conceivable that if Han Ye had not been able to come here rashly, his group of people would have been baptized by stone bombs from these orcs before they even got ashore.
The smallest ones are the size of fists, and the largest ones are probably as big as washbasins.
After the boat landed, Han Ye had already jumped ashore first. Then she quickly walked to the orcs, nodded to one of the strongest orcs, gave a bow to each other, and then started a quick conversation.
After a few conversations, Han Ye turned around and shouted to Lan Lan a few words, indicating that humans could land on the shore.
The teams went ashore one after another, and the boat leaves were properly collected.
But when humans were busy, the orcs stood far away, more than ten meters away, forming a circle, obviously not giving up their guard, and observed the humans in front of them with a puzzled attitude.
According to Han Ye, for these orcs, this team of humans was the first time they had seen a living human being in their lives.
"I've negotiated with them."
Han Ye returned to Lanlan's side and said slowly: "The orc leaders here agreed to let you land and allow you to enter this canyon, but they require that you can only rest in the designated location and not be allowed to move around. As for the supplies you need... I will continue to negotiate with them if it really doesn't work..."
"Don't worry about supplies or something." Lan Lan replied - she also saw that these orcs should be living in a difficult situation, so she had no intention of getting any supplies from these orcs. It was enough to just have a place to rest.
All negotiations between the two sides are based on Han Ye.
From beginning to end, these orcs gathered together and looked at these strange humans from afar.
Many orcs showed strong curiosity about these humans, especially when they saw the members of the Knights of the church among these humans, the orcs, who showed strong envy of the equipment of the Holy Knights.
To the orcs, the equipment of these knights is simply too extravagant to imagine!
Each member of the Knights wears very well-equipped protective gear, and the half-body metal armor, although it can only be regarded as light armor in the Roland Continent, and can only be used during infantry battles. However, for the orcs, it is a good thing that they would never dream of.
What's more, the weapons equipped by the members of these knights are also called orcs, and each knight is equipped with a long sword. There is also a short sword hanging around his waist, and many people tied a dagger on their trousers or thighs!
Even those crew sailors who can only be considered miscellaneous troops or burdens in the team have weapons such as axes or swords - excellent equipment produced from the Roland Empire.
And this tribe, even the tall orc leader, was not as good as a sailor in his hand.
Not to mention the clothes these humans wear.
...
At the entrance of the canyon and on both sides of the river, a ditch about seven or eight meters wide was dug.
This probably played the role of a moat. The river water was drawn in, and a rope bridge was woven with something similar to a glance at a vine.
There are stone piles in the middle to fix them.
The human team was allowed to enter the canyon. When walking through this river, the entire appearance of this settlement was found.
The area of this valley is larger than expected and not as narrow as imagined.
In fact, the space inside is still very wide. At the entrance of the canyon, several caves were dug out from the mountain wall. When walking through these caves, Tacitus clearly saw the heads of several orcs exposed inside.
Judging from the equipment and appearance of these orcs, they all have Kong Wu’s powerful and tough appearance. Obviously, these caves near the entrance of the canyon all have military functions, probably similar to the Tibetan military cave.
The more you go into the canyon, the wider the terrain becomes.
Here are some houses of all sizes made of stone piles.
Most of the houses are built on the ground. Occasionally, you can also see that there are stone houses on some gentle hillsides on both sides of the mountain walls.
Most of the people living here are orcs.
Along the way, Tacitus and Lanlan estimated it roughly in their minds, and based on the number of stone houses, the number of orcs here was at least about one or two thousand.
There were originally some young orcs in the canyon. They were playing and running everywhere like children in the human world, but when they saw such a group of humans walking in from afar, they heard shouts and ran away in scattered places.
From beginning to end, the route of Tacitus's team was supervising the way forward.
This canyon is not a long strip shape. It is a terrain similar to a chain of hoists.
After walking through the first canyon, it was a slightly narrower area inside. When passing through this narrow area, Tacitus saw that there were many stones piled up on the hillside beside the mountain walls on both sides. It is expected that once an attack occurs, if the first valley fails, then the orcs here can push the stones on the hillside down, block the passage, and effectively protect the inner part of the valley.
When we arrived at the second valley, the scene in front of us immediately made the humans exclaim!
Here... is far better than in the phenomenon!!
On the entire abandoned continent, most of the wilderness is barren land, and the vegetation I occasionally see is sparse and weak.
But in this second valley, people were surprised to see a large area of dense and lush green!!
This valley has an area of about 200 acres, with large tracts of trees and many cultivated farmland.
Surprisingly, Sulunbi's river of hope passed through the valley, forming a natural source of irrigation.
At least it seems that the dealers and trees here are growing very well.
Especially those thick trees, the crew and sailors were envious!
A captain walked over and quickly communicated with Tacitus. According to his calculations, if all the trees here were cut down (about 300), he might be able to barely create a small sea boat.
Tacitus just glanced at the captain coldly: "Don't think about this kind of thought."
Because from the attitude of these orcs, it is obvious that they attach great importance to protection here.
There are orcs guarding each other next to the woods and the dealer, and they are also armed with weapons!
After passing through this valley of farmland, there is a narrow mountain path ahead. Walking along the Sulunbi River, you can see that the terrain inside the mountain path has become wider again...
This is another residential area.
"It seems that the population here is much more than we thought."
Looking at the stone houses of all sizes here, Tacitus said this to Lan Lan.
The more you go, the greater the surprise.
There were six valleys in total. Four valleys were residential areas. One valley was specially planted for trees and crops, and there was another valley. What surprised humans was that many livestock were raised here!
The most common things are naturally pigs, cattle and sheep... probably brought by the ancestors of orcs in ancient times. And some livestock with strange looks, probably specialties from this continent.
At least Lan Lan saw a livestock with a round body, like a ball of meat, with a short nose, thick limbs, and huge ears - there are quite a few such things here.
"This is called the Gala beast." Han Ye understood and unbuttoned Lan Lan's curiosity: "This is one of the few local specialties on this continent that our ancestors have harvested. This Gala beast is an omnivorous animal. They eat everything, grow very fast, and reproduce slowly. Our ancestors tame and raise a large number of such Gala beasts, which can provide us with a lot of meat. And... the feces of Gala beasts can be used to burn fire."
The residential area of four valleys, this gathering place, has a total population of about five or six thousand.
In addition to orcs, Lanlan also saw a small number of dwarves.
These dwarves obviously have a worse attitude towards humans. The dwarves all live in the third valley, near the mountains, and do not live in that kind of stone house. Instead, they build caves after cave on the mountain wall.
