Chapter 19 Set sail and set off for the territory
One night of rest, the next day, July 12th.
Lear gathered his troops early in the morning and organized supplies.
After settling the bill at the House of Roses, he rode on the most splendid black horse in the fleet, letting the swamp people catch up with the 30 carriages hauling goods, and slowly headed out of the city.
Two hundred wetland lizardmen lined up neatly followed as guards.
Assemble the army and enter the wilderness!
He has been looking forward to today for a long time.
The mood is quite high at the moment.
In the early morning, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the spacious streets were very empty.
The thick bluestone ground is more than 150 meters wide, with eight carriage lanes on the left and right, and enough pedestrian passages.
There are a total of twenty main roads like this, connected horizontally and vertically, dividing the entire city of Luolan.
Just transporting these bluestones to the city is an exaggeratedly huge project.
Buildings with square spires stand on both sides of the street. These houses are ancient and exquisite, with different heights and intersecting canines.
The colorful floating glass reflects the gorgeous light, and the exquisite heroic reliefs carved on the walls tell the story of the city's past and glory.
At the corner of the street, there is a clock tower with a height of more than 20 meters.
The huge, angular cross brass clock made by dwarves was ticking, ticking, ticking.
Every time on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th, the city will be enveloped by the sound of huge bells.
No matter where you are, you can hear the sound of time.
It took the Lorraine family thousands of years to build this magnificent city.
It is also the northern province of the Griffin Empire and the most powerful shield against the erosion of the wasteland.
A shining pearl.
After crossing the bustling streets, the motorcade slowly passed through the tall and majestic gates of Loland City.
Lear looked back and saw the towering city walls, like towering and motionless mountains.
Height exceeds 100 meters!
His appearance was full of traces of war, like a veteran with outstanding military exploits.
On the city wall, various heavy siege weapons stand.
Catapults, heavy crossbows, arrow towers. They are densely packed and countless.
At the city gate, two 120-meter-tall giant statues of warriors holding heavy swords tower like miracles, with the swords' blades crossing in mid-air.
It was like declaring to the outside world that Loland City was insurmountable.
These two statues were rebuilt no less than ten times during the war. Each time they were rebuilt, they would be taller than before.
This is almost a symbol of the city of Lorain.
Chirp~ A crisp eagle cry made Lear subconsciously raise his head.
In the sky, hundreds of griffins, the imperial emblem with a wingspan of more than ten meters, soared.
These ferocious beings have formed a sky defense line. If necessary, they can take off ten times or a hundred times in number at any time.
After taking a deep look at this magnificent city, Lear felt a bit heroic in his heart.
His territory should be like this in the future!
No longer lingering, wave your hand and let the army move faster.
Outside the city are vast stretches of farmland, endless.
The green wheat fields swayed slowly in the breeze.
Give people endless beauty.
After traveling forward for more than ten kilometers, the city of Luolan gradually disappeared from sight.
In a fantasy world with magical powers, even timid craftsmen like the swamp people are much stronger than the people on earth.
The march was not slow.
Starting early in the morning, we didn’t stop to rest until we encountered water from a roadside well at noon.
After a few hours, we had already walked 30 kilometers, but no one showed much fatigue on their faces.
I had dinner made of Noah's rice last night, and there was no need to light a fire to cook for the next few days.
It saves a lot of trouble.
The hundreds of kilometers surrounding Luolan City are all safe zones.
The Guard Corps patrols every day and will eliminate threats immediately if they are discovered.
The spacious road built by Luolan City and filled with bluestone is enough for people to ride easily.
Wash your face with water and let go of fatigue.
Keep on your way.
As the sun set, we marched another 40 kilometers before settling down.
Traveling 70 kilometers a day, this speed is considered fast.
This also gave Lear a new understanding of the power of ordinary people in this fantasy world.
The danger at night is very high and it is not suitable for traveling in a hurry.
After arriving at a small town, the convoy was stationed.
The next day continued. It was not until noon that we finally emerged from the straight and spacious bluestone road.
The road suddenly turned into a bumpy dirt road, and the traveling speed began to slow down.
The 100 to 200 kilometers of Loland City extending into the wilderness is a controlled area. Every few days, a gryphon army will come to patrol. If there are monsters of a certain size gathering, they will be eliminated at designated points to prevent them from forming a large scale.
But there are still a small number of wilderness monsters.
In this area, the selection of pioneer lords is currently prohibited.
Because it is completely under the control of Luolan City, officials send personnel every year to establish villages and towns and reclaim land.
Continue 200 to 300 kilometers into the wilderness, which is a warning zone.
Every half month, Loland City will patrol. If there is a large-scale gathering of wilderness life, it will immediately dispatch troops to exterminate it to prevent it from impacting the controlled area.
This range is also the area where pioneer lords have the most choices.
Several large-scale developed territories were established here.
Being able to be radiated by Loland City without facing the threats of the wilderness has the highest safety factor.
300 kilometers to 500 kilometers, in the monitoring area.
Luolan City will monitor this area to a certain extent. Even if a large-scale monster gathering is discovered, it will not act rashly unless the other party enters the alert area.
As a result, the level of danger began to rise linearly.
500 kilometers away, the real wilderness is undeveloped, and Loland City will only send griffin legions to inspect it every once in a while to prevent large-scale military gatherings in the wilderness.
But when the Griffin Legion enters it, they often suffer losses.
Orcs, barbarians, snakemen, gray dwarves, undead. Almost all races are entrenched in the depths of the wilderness.
The sphere of influence of the rulers varies in size.
It is said that there is a powerful ogre empire thousands of miles away in the wilderness. The power of the other party is not inferior to that of Loland City.
It's just that the journey is too long and the wilderness blocks it all, making it impossible to confirm.
Entering the controlled area 100 kilometers away, Lear ordered Bain to take out a few pieces of dried dragon excrement and put them in a clay pot.
Bain looked at the dry dragon excrement with some anxiety.
"Sir, if earth dragon feces is stored for too long, it will lose its smell and its effect will be greatly reduced."
There was some annoyance on his face. When he was testing the supplies, he asked Lear. He said he was ready and didn't take a closer look.
Now it seems that he was still careless. Without the earth dragon excrement, the number of monsters encountered would probably multiply.
The difficulty of this journey will skyrocket!
Lear looked at the swamp hero with a stooped figure and wrinkles on his face and smiled.
"No need to worry, this is not earth dragon feces"
"Hageth, drip into it with your blood."
He said and waved his hand.
The wetland lizard hero behind him immediately stepped forward.
A majestic and fat rooster weighing more than ten pounds was caught from a carriage.
Just twist your neck.
The chicken's head was broken off alive, and with the rooster's wings flapping wildly, blood splattered and soaked into the pottery basin.
In a moment, the pieces of dried dragon excrement were soaked and soaked.
In just a few breaths, the magic power around him seemed to be attracted by the black hole, and poured into the dragon's feces crazily.
An unspeakable pressure escaped from the feces.
Everyone felt an inexplicable chill running down their spines.
It seemed like he was being targeted by some terrifying abyss monster.
"Dragon poop?!"
Bain, who took a few steps back and his legs were weakening, exclaimed in surprise.
His eyes changed again.
Can an adult even get such a thing? !
The giant dragon is the top predator in the world. A dragon with pure blood can directly step into the extraordinary after reaching old age!
Anyone who has anything to do with a giant dragon, even a dragonborn with mixed blood, has considerable power.
In order to survive, the best way is to avoid danger.
No one wants to be close to Longwei. This is tantamount to being close to death.
Lear nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Let the troops march on!
The power of the dragon can be radiated two to three kilometers away.
Some sensitive beings can even sense it from more than ten kilometers away.
The safety of the fleet has been greatly improved.
On the 13th and 14th, after driving for two more days, they passed through the control area and entered the warning area where the danger level had soared.
They were already more than 200 kilometers away from Loland City, and it was only now that they officially entered the wilderness.
Setting up camp tonight, after dinner, Lear did not rush to sleep, but waited silently until late at night.
Finally, the time on the panel reached July 15th in the morning!
The intelligence system in my mind quietly emerged with new information——
[The intelligence system has been cooled down and the intelligence can be refreshed. Do you want to refresh it? 】
Lear perked up.
It’s time for the third intelligence refresh!
