Chapter 170: Black Eats Black

"Sir, are you going to capture the Iron Fort?" Carl stared at Qin Jian incredibly with his eyes wide open.

After resting in the outpost, Qin Jian told him this purpose. He was worried that he would not be able to find the way to Iron Fort, but now, with Carl's First Legion, it is naturally no problem to recognize the way.

However, Qin Jian obviously heard the sound of more than 300 tauren warriors pumping air conditioners.

"Is there any problem?" Qin Jian looked at Carl strangely, thinking to himself that I didn't let you kill the dragon.

"As a warrior of the empire, there is no problem." Carl said seriously, "But sir, I have to remind you that if there are no 100,000 troops and corresponding siege equipment, it is better not to attack the Iron Fort."

"How much do you know about Iron Fort?" Qin Jian looked at Carl.

The commander of the Tauren Legion scratched his head and pondered for a moment, saying, "Iron Fortress rose more than 700 years ago. Because the empire had not paid attention to Siberia's defense, no one knew how it rose. When the passing vendors and merchant groups discovered this place, it was already there.

This city with iron walls is made by the black iron dwarf. Whether it is the moat walls on the periphery or the internal buildings, they are extremely hard and are all made of ore. I once entered the Iron Fort and observed the city up close. This city can be said to be a masterpiece. It is built on the mountain, with cliffs behind it, and only one passage can enter and exit. Moreover, this exit is built on the inland river at the foot of the mountain, and all personnel must be placed on the suspension bridge to enter and exit.

Therefore, it is not realistic to send large troops to attack. Once there is any danger, the suspension bridge will be closed. The base of the Iron Fort is at least fifty blades away from the surface of the river named Iron Fort River. No one can cross the river. Moreover, the city's defense power is second to none. I don't know where to get a magic defense system, which can be completely immune to intermediate magic attacks. Even a magician above level can cause minimal damage.

The population living in the city is about 50,000, and the permanent population is about 30,000. The others are passing merchant groups and vendors. But those 30,000 are also qualified soldiers. So, if there is no need, I advise you not to attack the Iron Fortress." Carl explained responsibly.

"The geographical location is very superior." Qin Jian was even more eager for this legendary city after hearing Carl's explanation.

"The Empire has not completely attacked this city." Karl glanced at Marri and said in a low voice: "But the 50,000 troops were not even caught by the enemy's hair, and most of them were killed or injured. He had to withdraw his troops."

"Why haven't I heard of this?" If the news spread, Gaborna would not have known it, so of course she would tell herself.

"Hehe." Carl smiled awkwardly, "The empire will not admit this empire with embarrassing record. That battle of conquest has never been put on the table. Sir, I think your army does not carry any siege equipment, and it is difficult to capture the Iron Fort."

"Don't worry, the God of War will not abandon his people. Siberia is the territory of the empire, and the God of War will surely bless us to drive out these thieves and robbers who occupy our territory." Qin Jian said with a smile.

Carl pursed his lips, really didn't know what to say. Although that's the case, the God of War won't help you fight in person.

However, since Qin Jian insisted on his own opinion, Carl couldn't persuade him any more. He conquered all the Taurus warriors of the First Legion, and then followed Qin Jian's pace and drove towards the Iron Fortress.

On the way, Qin Jian and others had enough of the natural disasters here. The yellow sand flying everywhere was blown by the strong wind and hit the head and faced, hitting the body, making crackling sounds. Even the giant clan felt a little difficult to move. Tony and the twelve giants closed their eyes and walked forward with their feet deep and shallow feet.

Only the Taurus warriors were very stable. They had been stationed here for a long time and had already found a set of tricks to deal with this environment.

"Sir, you have to do this!" Carl signaled, rolled up his clothes, protected half of his face, leaving only two eyes outside.

"Go and teach them!" Qin Jian learned something and then asked Carl to tell the elves about his experience with his first legion.

Among the entire army, only the old turtle, Marri, is the most comfortable. She is wearing a turtle shell and is not afraid of wind or rain. Walking on the wilderness, she walks leisurely in the garden as if she is in the back garden of her own home.

However, this harsh environment disappeared after another day.

As we moved forward, there were a lot of vegetation. Although the natural environment here was harsh, it was not a desert. The place we had walked before was too little, so the wind and sand were very strong. When we passed through that area, the situation was much better. Qin Jian and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because it was necessary to capture the Iron Fortress, which was related to the existence of the Black Iron Dwarf, Qin Jian specially called the dwarf craftsman Jimley Manchu, who had bought back from the human boss, and asked about a number of matters.

Only then did the dwarf know from the mouth that the black iron dwarf is a mutated group of the dwarf clan. He has completely betrayed the faith of the God of Craftsman and belongs to the expelled clan. Therefore, the dwarf Gimli has no objection to Qin Jian's actions and has raised his hands to agree.

However, Gimley also said that although the Black Iron Dwarves have been expelled from the Dwarves' genealogy, their power has not only not decreased, but has become more famous. Because of their belief in the demon god, they have obtained some attributes of dark constitutions, which has increased their physical strength. In terms of combat power, they may be a little more powerful than ordinary dwarves.

But when Qin Jian used the words to trick him and wanted to know where the authentic dwarf lived, Gimley glanced at Qin Jian and said nothing.

Qin Jian cursed in his heart with a little B face. After all, ten thousand years ago, the dwarf was considered a vassal of the Elf Kingdom, and now he doesn't give him any face.

When the troops reached the third day, the traces of footsteps were gradually seen on the wasteland, and many places were stepped on a clear road. Carl told Qin Jian that this was a common path for merchant groups traveling between human countries and orc empires. So you can confirm that the route of traveling by yourself and others is correct. As long as you follow these traces of being stepped forward, you can see the Iron Fort in two days.

However, Qin Jian's progress was destined to be delayed.

At noon, the elves who were exploring the way forward received a reward: "Sir, I found a human corps fighting, and the other side seemed to be a Siberian orc."

These days, Qin Jian has seen those sneaky wilderness robbers.

But first, the twelve giants were clearing the way forward, and no ogre or troll dared to come over to rob, unless they were blind. Secondly, the 300 taurus warriors and 600 centaur warriors around Qin Jian were not easy to mess with. The robbers just glanced at Qin Jian and others from a distance and then left immediately.

Qin Jian didn't want to cause too much trouble or delay his trip, so he ignored them at all.

But now, in front of me and others, a human mercenary group was stopped by the orcs on the wasteland.

"How many people do the other party have?" No one present cared about it. After all, neither humans nor robbers orcs were members of the empire, so it didn't matter how much they died.

"The human mercenary group can fight about one thousand mercenaries, and about two thousand orcs." The elf replied.

A thousand mercenaries, it can be imagined that this business group is already a large business group, and the goods they escorted are absolutely valuable.

Do you want to have a black man? Qin Jian's eyes rolled, and the old turtle Marri smiled.

No, no, I am now a War Paladin. It was nothing before, but now I have to conquer Iron Fortress. My home will be Siberia in the future. If someone causes trouble, I can't escape.

"Can't you go over and take a look?" Marri asked Qin Jian with a smile.

"Forget it, let them bite the dog, the whole army stationed on site and wait a while before leaving." Qin Jian issued an order. If he ran over now, he would definitely be forced to be strong by humans. No matter what, the orc empire and the human country are now in good terms.

The old turtle said meaningfully.

It was the meal time now, and immediately the elves and the Tauren's cooking squad set up a stove and started cooking with fire.

Qin Jian felt like a cat was scratching his heart. When he thought of a large amount of goods ahead, he took him to swallow it in one bite, but he couldn't do it. He was so depressed.

"Let's go and take a look." Marri came to Qin Jian's side and said with great understanding of his thoughts. "Anyway, I won't take action. I'll take a few secretly. If I have the chance, I will take action. If I don't have the chance, I won't lose anything."

Damn, the old turtle is the old turtle! Qin Jian instantly understood what he meant.

If all the people in the merchant group were destroyed by the orcs, then there would be no scruples to take action.

"Old Sai, come here!" Qin Jian waved to the centaur warrior, then clicked the few people who had been following him, bringing Kaka, Peter, Summer and Giordano. Of course, Ai Lian, Evelyn and Nirui could not escape. The girls insisted on following, even Ruth, and Qin Jian had no choice but to nod and agreed.

He gave Carl a warning to the Tauren warriors around him. Qin Jian and others rode the unicorn and ran forward.

From a distance, I heard the sound of killing, mixed with screams and shouts, and the intensity of the battle exceeded Qin Jian's imagination.

Qin Jian and his party found a small earth slope and looked ahead from a distance from hundreds of yards.

More than a thousand mercenaries employed against the orcs with two thousand people, plus those in the merchant group, the entire scene was filled with flying battles, which made Qin Jian feel excited.

It feels different when fighting by yourself and watching others fight.

At this time, the battle was in a stalemate, and neither the orc warriors nor the mercenaries showed obvious defeat. Although the number of orc warriors was large, they suffered a loss because they did not have decent weapons and armor. Moreover, the human side also had the fighting spirit of warriors and the magicians' magic help. Although the number was twice as high, the death was also twice as high.

Countless corpses were lying on the ground, and were there still dead and whispering.

The mercenary magicians with the highest level actually had a high-level magician. However, now the two armies have entered a state of melee, and large-scale magic is impossible to take action. They can only use small-scale magic to kill.

The business group that can hire or even support a high-level magician should be of great strength. Qin Jian noticed that under the escort of the business group that did not participate in the war, many large cages loaded with carriages were wrapped in black cloth, and there was nothing inside that could not be seen.

Is it all gold, silver and jewelry? Qin Jian thought so in his heart.

A strong wind blew from the wasteland, raising a corner of a black cloth.

When Qin Jian saw what was inside, his pupils instantly contracted.

Not only him, but the several elves with good vision also burst out with murderous aura. They all turned their eyes to Qin Jian.

Yes, those cages contain elf slaves with bracelets and anklets. Although they only glanced slightly, Qin Jian would not recognize the wrong person.

Not long after the imperial decree was promulgated, there were still people who dared to sell elves slaves from the empire, and the number was so large! This matter must be thoroughly investigated!

Calculated by the volume and quantity of the cage, the merchant group transported no less than five hundred elves slaves this time!

What a huge number! Even Arthur's entire family has only this number of elf slaves. Qin Jian couldn't figure out who was so powerful that he had such great ability.

"Master, do you want to call someone over?" Ayi Lian asked.

"No need. Don't alarm those elves! Let's solve this matter." Qin Jian didn't expect that he was just curious for a moment and found such a big secret. If he alarmed those elves, the scene would definitely be very hot.

At the Olga Crater, didn’t Qin Jian destroy two mercenary groups with the power of a few people? Now these 3,000 people are not taken seriously by Qin Jian. Moreover, the battle must have lasted for a long time. Both sides entered a period of exhaustion, and Qin Jian was more sure to win his plans.

"Can you fight?" Evelyn drew out the ice longbow as soon as she saw her compatriots and set up the arrow. She waited for Qin Jian's order and directly spread the peacock's tail.

"Stay!" Qin Jian said in a low voice, "The more intense they fight, the more beneficial it will be for us later."

Evelyn nodded, knowing that what Qin Jian said made sense, she put down the ice longbow.

The battle scenes were tragic, and whether it was human mercenaries or orc warriors, they were rapidly reducing the number in units of hundreds.

In the end, the senior magician of the Human Trading Group could not help but kill his companions and accused a large magic of covering the past, strangling more than half of the remaining orc warriors, and also destroying many people on his side.

The battle stopped in an instant, and no one dared to be arrogant again under the long-range attack of the advanced magician.

"Leave these goods behind, and we will let you go." One of the orcs walked out of the orcs and shouted loudly, pointing to the cages. These robbers who were seeking life on the wasteland would say a few words, whether in human language or in orc language.

"Fart!" A man in the business group jumped up. Qin Jian always felt familiar, but he instantly hid in the crowd and disappeared in front of Qin Jian's eyes.

"Our Takura tribe will send someone to reinforce immediately. Don't think that if you have a magician, we will retreat." If the robbers can't grab supplies, they will starve to death. The orc warriors are now willing to sacrifice their lives to steal the other party's things.

Qin Jian motioned for Evelyn, and the little hoof pulled the bowstring hard, and the arrow on the ice longbow shot out, hitting the throat of the orc who had stood out, almost nowhere in the distance of hundreds of yards. The arrow passed through the orc's body and shot another half orc behind him.

"Despicable humans, you sneak attack!" The orcs were in chaos, and the scene that had settled down became chaotic again. All the orcs rushed up with red eyes and fought with human mercenaries again.

"Who shot the arrow? Who shot the arrow?" One of the merchant groups roared angrily. He had just stabilized the orc's mood and was planning to pay some tolls to appease the group of barbarians. After all, they only had to live, but this plan was actually destroyed by a sudden arrow, which made the human being a little furious.
