Orc Tyrant

The municipal government of Salt Lake City is located on the foothills of the towering extinct volcano Petra overlooking the city-the largest salt producing land in the empire.

The two fortresses surround the west side of the city, and there is no other direction to approach the city, because under the high walls of the fortresses are steep cliffs that are hundreds of meters high. salt lake.

Looking at the scenery passing by from the open car window, Varus couldn't help holding onto the railing.

The carriages are crowded with people going to the city. Their status is high or low, but without exception, they have at least a decent identity, able to move freely in the city without being locked in a salt well all day.

A group of tender coffee.

Varus thought mockingly. These guys were all fat sheep with weak limbs, round eyes and pale faces, with thin skin and tender flesh on their faces and hands.

The deep faces of local residents are mostly roughened by the wind, and their eyes are almost completely narrowed to resist the salt wind that blows all year round.

In fact, most residents of Salt Lake City will get serious skin diseases around the age of forty. Their skin looks like dry and cracked parchment. They are exposed to salty irritating air for many years. The moisture is gradually absorbed.

Varus completely despised these privileged people who avoided the hard life on the ground. They probably never felt the wind blowing on their skin.

Varus glared at them once in a while, enjoying the restlessness he caused among these privileged people in dresses or robes.

Although the carriage was very crowded, people still left enough space around Varus. He guessed that he was afraid of his uniform-even though the uniform came from a corpse.

Varus was very happy to get the extra space, and when the train started to move up the track towards the station, the city gradually fell under his feet.

The scenery in front of him surprised him. From this point of view, the whole city seemed almost fascinating.

At this time the sails of the whole city are about to rise, and the strong wind is coming.

Each building here is attached with a thin sail that can slide freely to protect the building from the harshest salt winds.

Without proper protection, the devastating salt wind can turn newly built houses into ruins within a few years. Although knowing this, most of the cities are still being allowed to gradually collapse. Anyway, it is better to rebuild on the ruins of old houses. It is cheap to properly maintain existing buildings.

Varus had no idea what was going on, but he still accepted it. After all, most of the destroyed houses belonged to slums of little importance.

From his point of view, as the train rises higher and higher, the scene of tens of thousands of sails rising in harmony produces a strange effect.

The light of the orange and yellow blazing sun shone on countless pieces of sails, and for a moment it looked like the whole city was burning, which made Varus shudder.

From the moment the Great Salt Lake was discovered, the city spread like a growing tumor, going deeper into the salt plains, climbing to the hills, and advancing tens of kilometers to the west every week.

Varus was very thankful that he no longer needed to work in the **** salt pan, otherwise he must have been dead for a long time, leaving only a dehydrated dry skin sac, which was thrown away among the other laborers.

The Great Salt Lake is located just below the city. It covers an area of ​​60,000 hectares and has a deepest point of nearly 300 meters. It is the inland lake with the highest salt content in the entire world. The ancient Aksum people called it "The Sea of ​​Tears". It is said to have been formed from the battle of the gods. Era of mythology.

Since ancient times, this place has been an important salt-producing area, and several powerful dynasties have been born.

After the Benedict Empire conquered this ancient land, the Great Salt Lake became an extremely important salt-producing area of ​​the empire. The high-quality salt it produced was not only of industrial and edible value, because of the special geographical environment, the salt produced here The extremely high purity is the key material for wizards to meditate and cast spells-it is said that high-purity salt can disperse the evil things that appear in Hanan.

So even if sea salt is popular now, the [tear salt] produced by the Great Salt Lake is still irreplaceable.

Ohhhh~~~!

In the sound of the siren, the train shook for a while and then stopped, huge tentacle-like iron tongs stretched out to clamp the outer layer of the carriage, and the door opened under the steam and smoke.

People filed out of the carriages, and they could hardly conceal their rejection of approaching him when they walked or squeezed past Varus, and Varus shuffled down the aisle on the right.

Amidst the busy crowd, he was half-trapped and squeezed into a wide hall with a semi-circular roof. There were more than a dozen passages around him constantly spitting out living goods.

There were a lot of voices everywhere, and almost everyone wore long gowns of different colors, ranging from gray to dark brown, mixed with gray and purple and brown.

Looking through the transparent dome, you can see the mighty wall of the fortress just blocking the city government.

These thick walls are fifteen meters high and reinforced with cement. There are also six towering towers as forts, with large-caliber artillery pointing to the sky.

Most of the ancient walls of Salt Lake City have been demolished, and the existing walls were built three years ago. After Ouke broke the fortress of Aswan, the whole province of Gramatia began to be fortified. Cities have made plans to build new walls, but due to various reasons, only a few cities have completed these plans.

Due to its importance, Salt Lake City is the first batch of cities to be fortified, and its urban defense facilities are also the most complete.

"Let's let it go! Let's let it go!"

Thousands of servants, officials, and business owners joined the ranks, and the city guards wore gorgeous blue busts and watched the crowd slowly passing by with boredom.

Only through this checkpoint can you enter the hundreds of aristocratic mansions, shrines, office buildings or processing plants in the main city, such as a city within a city.

Below these buildings is a large power station, which supplies electricity to the entire city-Salt Lake City is the first city in the entire province to be electrified except Tyre.

"It's queuing again..."

With a sigh, Varus picked the team that seemed to move the fastest and started lining up, but he knew it would definitely become the slowest one in the end.

He was about to start a long wait.

"Head, are you sure that Xiami will succeed?"

On the shimmering Great Salt Lake, a thin voice stood on the gravel, watching the distant city with a telescope.

Beside him, is the dark skinned and black leather armor boss with one eye, he is sitting on a stone, polishing a T-shaped dagger.

In the vicinity of the lake, under the leadership of their respective bosses, hundreds of **** are setting up tents and moving supplies.

Although they are still very noisy, they are not as messy as ordinary ass. On the contrary, there are some **** wearing white helmets looking at the whole team. Anyone who makes too much noise will be kissed by the electric baton. , And then throw it into the salt lake to soak for a while.

"He will succeed."

One ear calmly stated, his voice was hoarse, without the insignificance of ordinary ass, and at the same time he shone the polished dagger in the sun.

The light reflected from the dagger made his eyes instinctively squinted, and then he showed a satisfied smile, as if he could imagine it cutting the enemy's throat.

"If that shrimp misses it, all the shrimps will know that we are here, and we will—"

One ear suddenly turned to face his deputy, his eyes twinkling.

"I have already said that Xiami will not fail, and there will be nothing wrong with Mr. Kunderaka's explanation! Now take your kid and wait for the signal, that's what you should do."

"Yes Yes!"
