Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 157 Treacherous
Including the time of struggling and escaping, Edward has been in the Kava Forest for at least half a year, and he has a relatively good understanding of the thoughts of the orcs living in the vast jungle in the south.

In the forest, there is only one thing that is the most important, and that is food. There are even some orcs who value food more than food.

Before the arrival of the cold winter, because of the rapid expansion of the orc population in the first nine months, it would be difficult for most tribes to survive this hopeless white cold winter if they only relied on the previously stored harvest.

In order to obtain enough food, and at the same time to clean up the excess population, in the month before the cold winter, a large number of orcs would come out of the forest in groups and attack towards the Scarlet Border.

If it is successful, the orcs after breaking through the defense line will be able to enter the human territory in large numbers through the gap, and plunder and obtain a large amount of food. food pressure.

Because in the month before the cold winter every year, the orc invasion has almost become a routine.

Except for the month before and after the cold winter, it is basically a time of peace, and the many orc tribes living in the Kava Forest will not waste their energy on the bloody border. After all, hunting wild animals and gathering food also requires manpower. , and the tribe must also retain part of its power in order not to be swallowed by the enemy.

It was also true that although the orcs invaded the border every year, they only concentrated in the month before the cold winter, and there were very few invasions in normal seasons.

Especially at the beginning of the end of the cold winter, when the ice and snow receded, many orcs had already died in that cold winter, and the remaining orcs were basically hungry, and after the cold winter passed, everything After recovering, the wild beasts also came out of their lairs, it was a good time for hunting.

Over the years, after the cold winter has passed, it is also the first few months of the new year, and the border is the safest time of the year.

But now, everything has changed?

The huge city wall towers high on the plain, stretching like a mountain range. This is the most famous Scarlet Great Wall on the border. Human beings have spent thousands of years to finally build an iron wall of defense. A large number of savage orcs grew in a wild land isolated from Middle-earth.

But now Edward no longer had the heart to admire this incomparably stalwart building, and followed the old man, quickly entering the border city within the city walls.

"A few years ago, as you said, the infestation of savage orcs was concentrated in August and September before the cold winter began. But in the past two years, everything has changed. Those orcs don't know why they went crazy , except for the cold winter when they are unable to move, they are all large-scale attacks and harassment, especially recently, those orcs seem to be crazy, rushing up without any casualties."

Amidst the old man's chatter, Edward frowned even more tightly.

Before entering the Great Kawa Forest, Edward hired the black bear mercenary team to enter the Kawa Great Forest. Although he felt that something was wrong in the border city at that time, he didn't think about it.

Then when he entered the Kava Forest, he also discovered some clues. It seemed that some super-large tribes with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people were migrating towards the border, and some tribes' settlements were deserted. After crossing the "defense line" where a large number of orcs gathered, they entered the central area of ​​the Kawa Great Forest almost without damage.

At that time, Edward noticed the signs of the migration of those large orc tribes. Although Edward was a little puzzled, he didn't pay much attention when he thought that it was almost August and September when the cold winter was coming, and it was common for a large number of orcs to migrate and attack the Scarlet Border.

But now it seems that everything is not so simple.

"... When the orc attacks were the craziest last year, it was said that there were millions of orcs gathered outside the entire border Great Wall. Even Grand Duke William of the Eagle Duchy had to go into battle in person to resist those orcs at the border. Outside the Great Wall."

When the old man talked about the incident of the previous year, he felt lingering fear in his heart.

"Last year, that should have been after I entered the Great Kava Forest. What happened?" Countless questions came to Edward's mind.

After so many years of tug-of-war, those orcs south of the border Great Wall should also know that the Scarlet Great Wall is difficult to crack, but they still did it without hesitation, and they definitely would not do this for no reason. Come on!
"Old man, thank you for your help."

Edward thanked, and then left in a hurry.

What is certain is that in the wild land of Kava Forest in the south, there must have been changes that he did not know, which led to this series of changes.

The most important thing for Edward now is to restore his identity first. I am afraid that only the upper-class nobles can really know more news. As for the damn blue young dragon, we can only talk about it after we pass the hurdle in front of us.

At the same time, tens of miles outside the border city, in the vast and boundless forest, large groups of orcs dragged their families, carrying all their belongings, and walked silently towards the Scarlet Border.

The dense, endless figures may even reach millions of people!

This is an orc coalition united by several super-large tribes living in the bloody border. Due to unknown reasons, these super-large tribes who used to fight alone and even had many conflicts with each other are strangely united. , walked slowly towards the Scarlet Border.

This time the orc attack was bigger than any previous one!

Not long after, the large orc team began to stop to rest, and in the central tent of the orc team, all the orc leaders with strong breaths and different shapes were gathering in the middle of the huge tent. Teams of elite orc guards were guarding each other outside. Patrol around.

"...Those things are spreading too fast, and we have no time and retreat. Within these few months, we must break through the Great Wall of humanity, otherwise all children will be destroyed!"

".The Great Wall is so easy to break through. What if there is no way to break through?"

".Look at the results. If it doesn't work, let's talk. If it doesn't work, negotiate with humans. I don't think they will be willing to deal with those things."

"How is the preparation of the post-break stronghold, that is something related to the safety of all of us."

".Our post-broken stronghold has basically been built, but what's the matter with you, Blood Claw, why is there no news from the southeast side at all?"

"Hmph! Just take care of the area you are in charge of. We have sent people to investigate, and we will notify you of the results!"
