City of Sin: one by one Second Exploration
Followed by a chase that lasted for more than ten days, the tribesmen who had originally gathered in Canovenson were almost wiped out. ~ At this point, the last huge threat was completely removed from the channel leading to Pale Highlands Dwarf Country. In the Canovenson camp, Richard lost nearly 5,000 Warrior, and the damage of the tribe people was several times that.
There are more than two hundred kilometers away from Pale Highlands in the northwest. There is no strong force in this area. Another important place, the ruin of Jubwar, is the legendary city of Troll Empire, but it is said that as several rivers dried up, the forest that originally covered this vast area of tens of thousands of square kilometers gradually disappeared, and the former Troll Country also declined from prosperity to decline. , And eventually perish. There are still several Troll tribes living within the ruins of Jubwar. Although the Troll with unusually strong vitality is one of the natural enemies of human beings, these small tribes each have a scale of only a few hundred people. There is no need for Richard to use the army, and only the part of Broodmother Warrior under their command is sufficient.
And there are no really valuable treasures in the ruins of Jubwar. The Troll race has a preference for wood and stone, but metal processing technology is very backward. Therefore, in the place where they live, there are not many items of value to human beings.
However, the purpose of Richard here is not wealth, but to collect all kinds of possible sacrifices.
On the west end of Bloodstained Lands, rolling mountains began to appear gradually, and the terrain became more complex and changeable. There are very few human settlements here, and only a few of the most powerful Slave Hunting Group dare to be active in this area. However, the area itself is not rich in resources, and it is difficult to find exciting specialties, so if you take risks here, it is not worth the loss. Only by venturing through this area and arriving at Dwarf Country will it be possible to exchange some rare minerals. However, originally due to the existence of Canovenson camp, this area can be said to be alien, and the heavy minerals on the belt want to traverse this land, often nine lives.
It is in the eyes of human beings that this land is very risky and poorly harvested, so few people are willing to set foot here.
After Richard broke Canovenson, the situation was different. A large number of rare minerals obtained from Dwarf Country can be escorted by the army and transported back to Human Country. This is thousands of tons of ore, and the profit after the return is 10 million/whatever happens. And the aliens living in Bloodstained Lands, whether Orc, Troll or Ogre, will not be stupid enough to challenge a large army of 10,000 people.
On the edge of the old Troll Empire, Richard stationed the army and let the noble generals reorganize and recuperate themselves. Richard took his followers and hundreds of Broodmother Warrior to start exploring the ruins of Jubwar.
The territory of Troll Empire is full of rolling hills and hills. From time to time, huge dead trees can be seen, and the ground is full of cracked rocks and dry floating soil. Richard walked through the dead forest and walked for two days without seeing much life. Occasionally, a few scavenger Vultures flew over in the sky. In addition, no living creatures appeared.
Since the next day, stone sculptures half buried in the ground, totem poles carved in wood, and some rocky paths submerged in wormwood have appeared in the field of vision. These traces indicate that it has officially entered Troll Country.
At noon, Richard stood on the edge of a cliff, carefully protruding half of his body, and looked down. Below is a rift valley that is hundreds of meters deep, and there are some thorn-like stone pillars at the bottom of the valley, and some smooth rocks are paved around the stone pillars. The bottom of the cliff has obvious traces of erosion, and it seems that the rift valley is actually a turbulent river many years ago. But now, the river has not known how many years it has dried up. Only a few shrubs grow in the shadow of the valley floor.
The two ends of the cliff are tens of meters apart, and the wind whizzes past the mouth of the rift, sending a heart-warming scream. On the other side of the cliff, if you look far, you can see a faint green, where the forest is still alive. ~ This rift that is blocking the way to Richard is winding and winding, and there is no end at all at both ends. I do n’t know how much time it will take to detour.
Not far from Richard, there are two thick square stone columns with obvious signs of abrasion on the body. The tops of these two stone pillars are engraved with heads of beasts with long fangs, and at a glance it is known as the style of Troll. Opposite the cliff, two stone pillars of the same style were erected, but only one of them was left in half. It seems that I didn't know how long ago, a rope bridge was erected on the cliff, but now there are only four pillars tied to the ropes of the rope bridge.
Richard looked at the cliff environment and commanded: "Take the rope!" After a few moments, several Free Archeron Warrior lifted a thick rope, which was hundreds of meters long. For this expedition, Richard has made sufficient preparations and brought all the free Warrior from Norland. They may not have outstanding personal combat capabilities, but they have rich combat and adventure experience, and are the best candidates for exploring the remains.
As soon as Richard consciously moved, several giant bats flew down in the sky. They bite the rope together and flew across the cliff. The rope grew longer and longer, and finally over the cliff. At this moment an amazing scene appeared, a few bat teeth biting claws, actually coiled the rope on the opposite stone pillar, and hit a strong dead knot! Free Archeron Warriors has never seen such a scene, and many people stayed on the spot for a while. Who can imagine that bats will also be tied?
The first rope over the cliff, the next step is simple. Lufu, which is famous for Agility, took another rope, stepped on the first cable to the opposite side of the cliff, and fastened the second bridge. Then a bridge was fixed, and then the newly cut board was laid on the bridge. About an hour later, a rope bridge reappeared on the cliff. Richard rode the unicorn to cross the bridge first, followed by a team of knights and Humanoid Warrior.
Crossing the cliff and walking deep into the mountains all afternoon, you can feel more greenery under your feet, and there is a damp breath in the air. Richard found a flat field with a wide view and ordered a camp to rest. The sparse forest can already be seen ahead, and occasionally the roar of unknown beasts will be heard from a distance. After a day of trekking, it is not a good idea to let the tired Warriors hurry up at night.
Several huge campfires were lit up in the camp, enough to drive away the beasts. The sentries scattered around the camp in twos and threes and watched the mountains under the night alertly. At any time, there is always an elite bat hovering over the camp. Richard brought a total of more than ten elite bats. Now half of them are flying deep into the mountains to survey the places to pass tomorrow, and the other half are resting in the camp. But above the camp, a bat will keep flying.
In the central camp, Richard is using a magic seal box as a workbench to quickly draw something on a piece of enchantment paper. With the stroke of the magic pen, a simple line outlines a picture of rolling hills. The picture shows the mountain area where Richard is now, and the details are constantly deepening. Richard is painting what the elite bat sees on enchantment paper. The Magic Array has already been painted on the paper. Once excited, this is a three-dimensional magic map.
The range that elite bats can patrol is thirty kilometers. And now on the magic map drawn by Richard, there have been some things that interest him. Soon Richard completed the drawing of the magic map. After entering Mana, a holographic image of the surrounding area appeared in a piece of light and shadow.
On the edge of the map, a torn building can be seen. Although only a few broken walls remain, it can still be seen that the entire area is very square. The square and rectangular shapes as the layout of the building and the entire city are the characteristics of Troll.
As you can see, this ruin is built at the bottom of a gentle hillside. On the side of the ruin, there is a magnificent long stairway that goes up the hillside all the way to the edge of the magic map.
Richard watched the magic map for a while, then patted the quicksand next to it and said, "Come, come and see! I think this should be the legendary Troll capital of Jubwar."
Quick sand joined Richard, carefully looked for a while, nodded and said: "Although there is only a small part, but look at the layout, it should be Troll style. Judging from the scale, the end of the ladder may be a city that can accommodate tens of thousands of Troll It should be the capital of Troll Empire. You see, on both sides of this ladder should be the place where Warrior is stationed to guard this ladder leading to the top floor. Hmm? Why is there no more behind? "
"The elite bat can only fly that far."
Liusha nodded and said, "Be careful tomorrow. There are probably many remaining Troll tribes here. I suspect that there are some water sources near the capital of Troll. The routes for tomorrow are all planned. Is it? "
"Well, already thought about it, you see, by following this route, we will be much safer. There are not many places around Troll to ambush."
"You'll be fine with these things, don't bother me! I'm busy!" Liusha said, rubbing her head against Richard, grabbed a cushion, and continued to read the Book of Time. Book of Time's book pages continue to appear with text and drawings. After reading one page, quicksand will input some Divine Power, so the content on the page will be changed to another page.
"What are you looking at?" Richard asked away the magic map.
Liu Shatou did not lift his head and said, "I am learning the history and language of Troll civilization."
Richard was taken aback: "Is the Troll of Norland and Faro the same?"
Quick sand replied: "The racial characteristics are similar, but the history and civilization are obviously far behind. Of course I am looking at the data of the Faro Plane Troll civilization."
"You can also learn about the Faro Plane on Book of Time?" Richard became curious about this book in the hands of Quicksand.
