Chapter 19 Set sail and depart for the territory

Rest for a night, the next day, July 7th.

Lear assembled his troops and organized their supplies early in the morning.

After settling the bill at the Rose House, he rode on the most majestic black horse in the caravan, ordered the Swamp Man to catch up with the 30 carriages carrying goods, and slowly headed out of the city.

Two hundred neatly lined up wetland lizardmen followed as guards.

Assemble your troops and enter the wilderness!
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

My 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 carriageways on each side and enough pedestrian passages.

There are as many as twenty such main roads, connecting horizontally and vertically, dividing the entire city of Loran.

Just transporting these bluestones to the city is an incredibly huge project.

Buildings with square spires stand on both sides of the street. These houses are ancient and exquisite, with varying heights and jagged edges.

The colored stained glass reflects gorgeous light, and the exquisite heroic reliefs carved on the walls tell the past and glory of this city.

At the cross street corner, there is a clock tower over 20 meters high.

The huge, dwarven-forged, angular brass cross clock was moving at a click, click, click.

At 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock every minute, 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 Loran family a thousand years to build this magnificent city.

It is also the most powerful shield for the northern province of the Griffin Empire to resist the erosion of the wasteland.

A shining pearl.

Crossing the bustling streets, the convoy slowly passed through the tall and magnificent city gate of Loran City.

Lear looked back and saw the towering city walls, like immovable mountains.

Over 100 meters high!

His appearance is full of traces of war, like a veteran with outstanding military achievements.

On the city walls, various heavy siege weapons stand.

Catapults, heavy crossbows, arrow towers... too numerous to count.

At the city gate, two 120-meter-high giant statues of warriors holding heavy swords stand majestically like gods, with their swords crossed in mid-air.

It was as if declaring to the outside world that Loran City was insurmountable.

These two statues have been rebuilt no less than ten times due to wars, and each time they were rebuilt, they became taller than the previous ones.

This is almost a symbol of the city of Loran.

Chirp~ The clear cry of an eagle made Lear look up subconsciously.

In the sky, hundreds of griffins, the imperial emblem with a wingspan of more than ten meters, were soaring.

These ferocious creatures form a sky defense line, and if necessary, ten or a hundred times their number can take off at any time.

After taking a deep look at this magnificent city, Lear felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

His territory in the future should be like this too!
Without further ado, he waved his hand and ordered the army to march faster.

Outside the city are vast stretches of farmland, stretching endlessly.

The green wheat fields swayed slowly in the breeze.

Give people endless beauty.

After walking more than ten kilometers, the city of Loran gradually disappeared from sight.

In this magical fantasy world, even timid craftsmen like the Swamp People are much stronger than the people on Earth.

The march was not slow.

We set out early in the morning and stopped to rest at noon when we came across a well on the roadside.

After several hours, they had walked 30 kilometers, but there was not much fatigue on anyone's face.

We had dinner made from Noya rice last night, so we don’t have to make a fire to cook for the next few days.

It saves a lot of trouble.

The hundreds of kilometers around Loran City are all safe zones.

The Guard Corps conducts daily patrols and immediately eliminates any threats they discover.

The wide bluestone-filled roads built in Lolan City are wide enough for people to ride easily.

Wash your face with clean water and your fatigue will go away.

Continue on your way.

When the sun set, we marched another 40 kilometers before settling down.

Traveling 70 kilometers a day is already considered a very fast speed.

This also gave Lear a new understanding of the power of ordinary people in this fantasy world.

It is very dangerous at night and not suitable for traveling.

After arriving at a small town, the convoy settled down.

We continued on the next day. Around noon, we finally reached the straight and wide bluestone road.

The road surface suddenly turned into a bumpy mud road and the speed of travel began to slow down.

The 100-200 km area extending from Loran City to the wilderness is a controlled area. Every few days, a griffin army will come to patrol. If a certain scale of monsters gathers, they will be eliminated at a specific point to prevent them from forming a large scale.

But there are still a small number of wilderness monsters.

This area is currently prohibited from being selected by the lord for development.

Because it is completely under the control of Loran City, official personnel are dispatched 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 a month, Loran City will conduct an inspection. If there is a large-scale gathering of wilderness life, the army will be dispatched immediately to eliminate it to prevent it from impacting the controlled area.

This range is also the area most chosen by pioneering lords.

Several large-scale settlements were established here.

It can be affected by the radiation from Loran City, but will not face the threat of the wilderness directly, so it has the highest safety factor.

300 km to 500 km is in the monitoring area.

Loran City will monitor this area to a certain extent. Even if a large-scale gathering of monsters is discovered, it will not act rashly unless the other party enters the warning area.

As a result, the danger level began to rise sharply.

500 kilometers away is the real wilderness that has not been developed. The city of Loran will only send the Griffin Legion to patrol at regular intervals to prevent large-scale military gatherings in the wilderness.

But when the Griffin Legion entered, they often suffered losses.

Orcs, barbarians, snakemen, gray dwarves, undead... almost every race is entrenched in the depths of the wilderness.

The spheres of influence that they rule vary in size.

It is said that there is a powerful ogre empire thousands of miles away in the wilderness, and its power is not inferior to that of Loran City.

But the journey was too far and the wilderness cut off everything, so there was no way to verify it.

Entering the controlled area 100 kilometers away, Lear ordered Bain to take out some dried dragon feces and put them in a ceramic basin.

Bane looked at the dry dragon feces and felt a little uneasy.

"Sir, if earth dragon feces is stored for too long, it will lose its smell and its effect will be greatly reduced."

There was a look of annoyance on his face. When he was checking the supplies before, he asked Li Er about it, but he said it was ready, so he didn't look at it carefully.

Now it seems that I was careless. Without the earth dragon feces, the number of monsters I encountered would have increased exponentially.

The difficulty of this journey will skyrocket!

Lear looked at the hunchbacked, wrinkled-faced swampman hero and smiled.

"Don't worry, this is not the excrement of the earth dragon"

"Haggs, drip it with blood."

He said and waved his hand.

The wetland lizardman hero behind him immediately stepped forward.

A strong and fat rooster weighing more than ten pounds was caught from a carriage.

Just twist the neck.

The chicken's head was broken off alive, and blood spurted out as the rooster's wings flapped wildly, soaking into the clay basin.

In a moment, the dried dragon feces were soaked.

In just a few breaths, the magic power around it seemed to be attracted by a black hole and rushed madly into the dragon's feces.

An indescribable pressure emanated from the feces.

Everyone felt an inexplicable chill down their spine.

It was like being stared at by some terrifying monster from the abyss.

"Dragon poop?!"

Bane took a few steps back, his legs feeling weak, and cried out in surprise.

The look in his eyes changed again.

Adults can even get their hands on something like this?!
Dragons are the world's top predators. A dragon with pure blood can directly step into the extraordinary realm when it reaches old age!
Anyone who has any connection with the dragon, even if they are dragon descendants with mixed blood, will possess considerable power.

In order to survive, the best way is to avoid danger.

No one wants to get close to Long Wei. It's tantamount to getting close to death.

Lear nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Keep the troops going!
The dragon's might can radiate two or three kilometers away.

Some sensitive creatures 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 two more days of travel, we passed through the control area and entered the warning zone where the danger level had soared.

They were already more than 200 kilometers away from Loran City, and only at this moment did they officially step into the wilderness.

After setting up camp and having dinner tonight, Lear did not rush to sleep, but waited silently until late at night.

Finally, the time on the panel reached the early morning of July 7th!
The intelligence system in my mind quietly emerged with new information—

[The intelligence system has cooled down and can be refreshed. Do you want to refresh? ]

Lear's spirits lifted.

It’s time for the third intelligence refresh!
