Chapter VIII The Caravans of the North(1/2)
Chapter 8 The caravan in the north! Please recommend votes
There are so many stories in this world.
When talking about the Death Knight, Murphy obviously felt the hatred and sadness in the dwarf officer's eyes for a moment, but he didn't ask any questions very much, but just listened to the other party telling the past carefully. In this steel fortress, Murphy saw humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, goblins, and many unknown species that he knew and did not recognize. Even the legendary two-headed ogre magician, Murphy also saw one! However, this two-headed ogre magician who seemed a little obese had a bad temper. After noticing Murphy's peeping, he glared at him fiercely!
Since this world can allow many races to get along in harmony, it is obvious that an extremely tragic and tragic past has taken place.
It has proved a lot that it can allow ogres and humans to stay in this steel fortress together.
"Saint-Annalie is one of the eight paladins of the empire, which means the legendary 'Rose Knight'!" A trace of memory appeared on the face of the dwarf officer, and he slowly said: "Although you have the blood of an oriental person, you should have heard some legends about her from your ancestors, right?"
"A little bit..." Murphy said with a tough forehead.
The dwarf officer showed a bitter smile and then said, "That's right, I actually forgot your age. Human life span is really short. Many things that have not been long before have been gradually forgotten because of the passing of a generation!"
Dwarves are also longevity species, and they have a lifespan of more than four hundred years.
If the age of a dwarf elder is converted into humans, it is almost equivalent to the history of a country in his previous life.
"Abyss invasion, she was one of the heroes who led the human coalition to resist the demons on the front line! However, in the battle of the Sonas Plain, she died in the demon's minions. The hundreds of thousands of human legions died on the plains, and only a few more than 300 people came back alive." The dwarf officer slowly said in a low voice: "At that time, many races had not yet realized the danger of abyss invasion!"
"As the most powerful race on the continent, for more than a hundred years, the human empire has always been fighting against the abyss alone."
"This has led to the loss of the best time to defeat the abyss!" The dwarf officer sighed and said slowly: "It's too late to wait until other races on the continent find out about this. The powerful human empire was destroyed, and the inheritance of six races in this world has been completely erased by the abyss demons!"
"She was one of the heroes of that era!"
The dwarf officer stopped talking and asked Murphy questions, and seemed unwilling to recall that era full of blood and pain.
In fact, he still has a lot of things to say.
The powerful and arrogant human empire did not resist the invasion of the abyss for more than 100 years, but instead fought against the demon legion of the abyss with its own strength for a full 275 years! In these 275 years, the population of the human empire was half destroyed! In countless powerful humans and talented people died on the battlefield with the demons of the abyss!
Until the empire collapsed and the capital turned into a bone-burying place that stretched for thousands of miles, humans also shouldered the main battlefield against the abyss demons!
Twelve powerful knights fought to the last moment!
After the fall of the imperial capital, tens of thousands of mages joined forces to summon the meteorite rain, and led the demon army to destroy it together with this once glorious civilization!
The heroes fell one after another!
They followed their own path without hesitation and fought to the last moment to protect this brilliant civilization!
When other races reacted and formed a huge coalition to support, everything was over. The arrogant human empire collapsed, and all the human legions that resisted the invasion of the abyss were killed in battle. The demons who hated them joined forces to use undead magic, transforming those heroes from the past into powerful death knights and becoming their minions!
The army of Death Knights tore everything apart, and no one could stop them!
It was not until the demons in the abyss tried to resurrect one of the three former holy coffin knights, the legendary dark verdict - Saint Uban, that all this was terminated. They underestimated the legendary holy coffin knight. The ancient hero's belief was so firm that even if he was dead, his will would not be enslaved by anyone!
The powerful Death Knights broke free from the enslavement of the demons, and they turned their guns and pointed them at their former enemies!
……………………
Many things have been buried by history, and there is no way to determine whether right or wrong is right or wrong.
The arrogant human empire defeated the orcs, expelled the dwarves, and imprisoned the elves in that dense primeval forest. Humans occupied the most fertile land and had the greatest wealth, but also pushed other races down their opposites! They became overlords on the continent, but when the abyss invaded, other races chose to stand by and watch!
Eight races became history under the attack of the Demon Legion, and both humans and other races paid the price for it.
……………………
"Sir! A caravan from the north has arrived here." At this moment, a human soldier came to the side of the two.
Is there really a caravan?
Murphy was a little stunned, and then heard a roar of the sub-dragon creature.
He quickly walked up to the fortress wall and looked into the distance.
——"Hurricane Karazan Wing Dragon?!" Murphy was shocked and blurted out.
But then he reacted.
That is not the Karazan Hurricane Wingsho, because their physique is much smaller than the Karazan Hurricane Wingsho, and their exposed aura is not as strong as the Karazan Hurricane Wingsho! In the world where the Karazan Hurricane Wingsho is located, the subspecies of the largest and most powerful combat power subspecies, but the flying dragon in front of you is much weaker than that.
Murphy recalled it and then remembered their names.
——"Both-footed flying dragon!"
There was a knight sitting on these two-legged flying dragons. Six two-legged flying dragons were leading the way in front. Behind were the earth dragon creatures with physical shapes comparable to the giant Mokodo war beasts. Then behind were huge beasts carrying goods, and a large number of elite soldiers wearing armor! The caravan stretched for several kilometers. In addition to those sub-dragon knights, there were nearly a thousand heavy armored cavalry, as well as thousands of heavy armored cavalry wearing chain mail, holding long swords and shields, similar to the heavy infantry legion of the Crusaders in the previous life!
Where is this caravan?
This is simply a regular legion, and it is an elite legion!
But in fact.
This is indeed a caravan, because they brought a large amount of goods from the northern part of the mainland. These people crossed the mountains to the north and took more than three months to reach the gateway to the southern part of the mainland.
They brought a lot of substances and a lot of food.
The entire steel fortress was boiling, and even the cold two-headed ogre magician stood up excitedly and headed out of the fortress.
The north is a cold mountain range.
It is also the only area where the abyss invasion is not severe. The demons like scorching magma and the smell of sulfur, so the human kingdom hidden in the cold mountains did not become the first target of their attack, but was preserved intact. Since the collapse of the arrogant human empire, the northern kingdom, which inherited the blood of the empire, has been providing supplies to the coalition forces on the southern front.
"How much supplies can a person who is just a few trek along the way?" Murphy shook his head and thought in his heart.
At first glance, these people were traveling a long distance, and they probably consumed a lot of food. How many things can they bring? Although the things they transported seem to be vast, how many can they be distributed? Murphy just observed that this steel fortress is at least 50,000 troops. How much materials can they transport with these caravans of thousands of people?
But soon Murphy was stunned.
Because after entering the fortress, the leader of the caravan opened a space pocket, and then saw a steady stream of food pouring into the wide square behind the fortress like a torrent. The armies of all races that lived in this steel fortress began to quickly transport food and transport it into the warehouse behind the fortress! Even the two-headed ogre magician happily carried two huge sacks of food in one hand and went to the warehouse!
"Space Magic!" Murphy was shocked.
He found that he really underestimated the level of civilization in this world!
The caravan did not stop. They left a large amount of material, then took a large bag of crystals from the fortress officers, and then continued to go deeper towards the south. The caravan would come to the south of the mainland every three years. Not only did they need to supply this steel fortress, but also many human gathering places behind them. Although the south was quite safe, it was also severely damaged in the war with the demons. Many of the land here was corrupted, and the food produced was barely enough to be self-sufficient. Once an accident occurred, a large number of disaster victims would appear.
This powerful caravan also came and went in a hurry.
However, Murphy heard many soldiers in the fortress praising an existence named "Snow Queen".
……………………
"Follow?" An idea popped up in Murphy's mind.
His identity is not suitable for staying in the steel fortress for too long. If the dwarf officer asks other questions, he will inevitably reveal himself.
So, as the caravan left the fortress and continued south.
Murphy also quietly mingled into their team and headed south. The caravan did not notice that there was one more person, because in addition to the army, there were many human porters carrying goods. Murphy was also covered in dust and looked nothing like them.
All the way south.
There were many more trees along the way. Although they still seemed a bit desolate, they were much better than the endless desolate before.
A ray of light came out of the sky.
There were white clouds in the distance, and you could vaguely see the blue sky. Obviously, the erosion here was much smaller, and it was not completely shrouded by the power of the abyss like the Bone Burial Land. However, along the way, Murphy still encountered some demonized creatures, mostly wild beasts, and could vaguely see a little bit of its original appearance. However, Murphy didn't need to do it himself. As soon as these demonized creatures emerged, they were dealt with by the elite soldiers escorting the caravan.
Any of these soldiers were given out, and their strength was probably comparable to that of Spartan fanatical heavy infantry, and they were indeed first-class elite troops. Moreover, their equipment was very well-equipped, almost all of them were wearing chain mail!
I followed this caravan for a day.
Many people in the caravan found that there was one more person, but they didn't seem to care.
I didn't even ask anything.
Perhaps in this environment where all races are united, they don’t care about a stranger following the team. After all, the other party is a human, and it is not a problem for a human to follow them.
At noon.
There were even a few human porters who brought a bowl of rice porridge and some dried vegetables to Murphy. They laughed, left the food and left.
Murphy looks very down and out now.
……………………
After eating demon meat for a few days, I finally got the normal food. This bowl of rice porridge was so sweet in Murphy's mouth.
It can be seen that the invasion of the abyss has caused severe damage to the agriculture of this world, because Murphy noticed that many of the soldiers escorted were eating the same kind of pickled dried vegetables as he did. The only difference was that they had a little more portion and some meat. Several demonized beasts killed along the way were also carried out, and the beasts were cleaned up and then carried to a man in a white robe with a low status.
That was an old man.
He sang something in a low voice, because the distance was too far apart, Murphy could not hear it clearly, but then a holy light appeared in the hands of the old man in white robe. The light wrapped around the demonized beasts, and then the power of the abyss emitted from the beasts began to dissipate.
“Purification?”
Murphy was stunned, guessing that this was roughly the "power of holy light" in the mouth of others?
That is a very pure force.
But it's very weak.
The old man in the white robe seemed not strong, because after Murphy noticed that he had purified several beasts, a trace of sweat appeared on his face, and was then helped to rest by others. The remaining soldiers happily began to dismantle the demonized beasts, some of which were roasted on the fire, and some were thrown into a big pot to make soup.
After a while, a fragrance permeated the entire caravan.
Smelling the seductive fragrance, Murphy's stomach also gulped a few times, and he couldn't help but swallow.
"The future king of the Athenian Kingdom! He will drool by a few pieces of meat!" Murphy laughed at himself for a few words, then closed his eyes and rested for a moment. In the bone burial land, he had not slept soundly. Now he was in a safe rear, and surrounded by humans, so he could finally rest with confidence.
