MTL - Age of Empires From Scratch-Chapter 276 Fel Crystal

  Chapter 276 Evil Crystal Mine

   In a daze, they were dragged to eat meat together, but somehow they entered the orc city without arousing anyone's suspicion.

  He felt that his sneaking operation was smooth, and he was full of confidence in the next operation.

   "It seems that it is not difficult to achieve the planned goal!"

  Millard and Sapp didn't seem to have any plans, and they revealed a lot of information during the chat.

  For example, the orcs first came to the northern plains through the death ice field.

  The so-called Death Ice Field is a place similar to the polar region. The orcs came here when the winter weather was severe and the area of ​​the Death Ice Field expanded, connecting the island where they originally lived with the Brennia mainland.

  The reason why the orcs came to the northern plains is very simple. The place where they originally lived can no longer allow so many orcs to live.

  With the lack of food, minerals, and wood resources, plus various natural disasters, the orcs found it more and more difficult to survive in their hometown, so they had to migrate to the northern plains.

  After discovering this vast enough land, the orcs tried their best to build this place into a new home, and built ships to take over more compatriots.

  When he heard this, David thought of the dark elves. The experiences of the two sides overlapped so much that they used the same set of templates.

  David didn't know what happened when the dark elves first came to the Brennia continent.

   But the situation of the orcs is not good. They have a very large population, but they rely on hunting for food. In addition, the land on the northern plain is very barren, and the weak farming technology is completely abolished here.

   In this case, the orcs survived on the green soup.

It is a green thick substance stored in a jar with strange characters, pour some of it into a utensil, add leaves, branches, bark, weeds, etc., even soil, and then add some water , Stir well and eat.

  When David watched Sapp dry up a bowl of green soup, he was dumbfounded.

   What shocked him even more was that even this stuff was rationed, so Sapp only made a bowl for himself, and didn't entertain Millard and David extra.

After eating a small amount of meat to satisfy his hunger, Sapp finished off a bowl of green soup and looked forward to a better tomorrow: "When the army defeats the metal men in the west, we will be able to obtain more and more fertile land. By then There will be endless delicious food.”

   "At that time, Millad won't have to go hunting secretly while on guard at night, and Marcela will be able to eat a lot of meat, grow up healthy and become a tall and strong female orc!"

   "Tambo doesn't have to always complain about not being full, he can only drink water to satisfy his hunger!"

  After talking a lot, Sapp let the two go back to have a good rest, reminded them to continue to stand guard tonight, and then went straight to bed and went to sleep.

  Millard didn't feel wrong about this, and got up directly to leave. Of course, David had no reason to stay.

   Walking out of Sapp's residence, David roughly judged the direction, and found that this place is not far from the area with green light soaring into the sky that he saw earlier.

  Standing here, he could clearly feel the huge chaotic atmosphere, which was many times larger than the power contained in the sigil he had obtained before.

  He speculated that the area should be a factory for making sigils and fel energy shells.

   Turning his head and glanced at Millard, this "teammate" went straight into a residence diagonally opposite. It turned out that he lived so close to Sapp.

   As for the Tambor residence? Of course, David didn't know where he was, and he didn't think about it. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, and walked straight to the locked target area.

  He is now a strong orc warrior, and he can move freely here, and as he continues to advance, David sees many orc laborers who are much smaller in stature.

The status of the orc laborer is much lower than that of Tambo, the orc warrior. When he saw him, he didn't even dare to look at him, and he would immediately move away from David's direction to avoid any conflict with David. touch.

  After walking for a short while, David saw green soup, fel cannonballs, sigils, and other things, making sure that he did not go to the wrong place.

  But he couldn't get into the core area of ​​the factory, there were many soldiers guarding it, so he didn't try rashly to break in, but walked straight through the door, as if he was just passing by.

   After turning around for a while, he left the factory area without turning around again and again.

  He went around all the areas that he could enter and exit at will, and he hasn't explored the areas that he can't enter yet. He is thinking whether to wait until the evening, or find a chance to sneak in now?

   Just as David was thinking about what to do next, he noticed someone walking straight towards him.

"Tambo? Why are you here?" A strong female orc quickly walked up to David and stopped him. The strong muscles on her body seemed to remind people that she was a very powerful and dangerous orc warrior: "Didn't you last night?" Is there a task of standing guard? Did you ask someone to take over for you?"

  Before David opened his mouth to speak, the female orc said a lot, and finally came to the conclusion: Tambo, you bullied Millard again!

   "..."

  Looking at the angry female orc in front of him, David didn't know if he should explain that he didn't bully Millard?

   However, this female orc was obviously short-tempered. She didn't wait for David to explain, turned her head and left after she finished speaking.

  Looking at the direction she is going, maybe she is going to find Millard?

  David stood there and watched for a while, and suddenly had a special feeling: Apart from the difference in appearance, is there any difference between these orcs and the humans in Winter City?

  Even if it is a 'glorious orc warrior', all they think about now is just to eat a few more bites of meat.

   And the entire orc clan just wanted to survive.

  From the standpoint of the orcs, David can fully understand their crazy attack on Winter City.

   Unfortunately, David is not an orc, and he is even an enemy of the orc.

  Although he can understand, he still wants to defeat these orcs.

  Pausing, he suddenly thought of another thing: the orcs attacked the Brennia continent like crazy, in the final analysis, there is a black hand behind the scenes to guide everything.

   What about the thoughts of the orcs themselves?

  If given the choice, would the orcs attack all the races on the continent of Brennia like crazy?

  Thinking down this line of thought, David quickly realized a problem.

  As long as the orcs continue to use the power of fel energy, it is impossible for David to coexist peacefully with the orcs.

   This is determined by the nature of the power of evil energy. At present, the main food of the orcs is green soup. This thing is basically evil energy soup. These orcs have been drinking this kind of thing. Will the orcs all become lunatics if they eat this kind of thing for a long time?

   "Forget it, I am not a savior after all! I am not a hero or leader of the orc clan."

   If some orcs realize the problem themselves and want to coexist peacefully with the various races on the continent of Brennia, David would not mind lending a helping hand to do a little favor! But he is not that great to lead the orcs out of control himself.

   Continue to explore the next target area, which is also filled with a lot of chaos. After actually coming here, David found that the chaotic atmosphere and the concentration of evil energy here were higher than the factory area he had gone to before.

  With such a strong fel energy, the holy light in David's body almost automatically releases the shield to defend against it.

  Fortunately, he controlled his power well enough to not expose his true identity.

  At the same time, David noticed that the skin of the orc laborers here had begun to turn green. Every orc seemed to be extremely excited, as if they had taken a stimulant. Their movement speed was twice as fast as that of the orcs in other places.

  Just like what he thought just now, orcs who have been exposed to fel energy for a long time will become more and more crazy.

  Even the guards here are not so sober. David walked over swaggeringly, and they didn't think anything wrong at all.

  Following the chaotic breath, David found himself in a passage that was slowly descending. After walking for a while, he was sure that he had reached the ground.

   After continuing to move forward for about ten minutes, the front suddenly became extremely open, and at the same time the whole space was filled with green light.

   "Waterfake?"

   What surprised David was not the orc workers who were busy around, waving picks and pushing carts in and out of countless passages, but the large cluster of crystals emitting green light in front of him.

   "Is this crystal mine?"

  He is too familiar with this thing. The crystal mine, the most important resource in Winter City at present, looks like this!

  The biggest difference is that the crystal mines in his home are blue and purple, which contain very pure energy; while the large crystal mine in front of him is green, which contains evil energy exuding a chaotic atmosphere.

  He thought about countless possibilities, such as seeing a large pool of viscous green liquid; or a strange altar exuding chaos; he even thought that he might meet an orc warlock who is good at strange spells.

   I just never thought it would be the scene in front of me.

   "Do you feel shocked? This is the gift of our Lord!"

  Following the sudden sound, a violent and chaotic aura appeared not far from David.

   Turning his head and looking, a green-skinned orc in a black robe was standing there staring at David, with a smile on his face that he had everything under control, obviously not paying attention to David.

   "Although I don't know what strange means you used to disguise yourself as a great orc, but since you took the initiative to send it to your door, don't even think about leaving."

  Opening his hands, green fel flames appeared on the hands of the black-robed orc. As the black-robed orc pushed his hands forward, they shot straight at David.

  Boom!

  The flame exploded, and the green fel flames scattered all over the place, but David, who was hit, still stood where he was, without changing his posture, only a faint golden color appeared on the dark brown orc body.

   "With this kind of strength alone, there is no way for me to stay."
