Chapter 285

The journey to khaki is now over.

Relatively speaking, in this journey, Chen Heng's harvest is quite good.

He not only knew where his territory was, but also took this opportunity to obtain some support from the Karo Kingdom and some private promises from some nobles.

Yes, promise.

In recent days, Chen Heng has not been idle.

In fact, during this time, he has been actively visiting some nobles in the Karo kingdom.

The list given by siliver played a good role in this process.

It is because of this list that Chen Heng is able to know which people are kind to him and which are opponents of the Ailan family.

It's a network of relationships belonging to the Elan family, and it's just borrowed by him at the moment.

To some extent, it is also an unavoidable thing.

Although born in the hartim family, as Chen Heng's mother family, Chen Heng is doomed to be unable to break away from the Ailan family.

No one is a fool. It's useless to cover up.

As long as we know his relationship with siliver, the rest of us will naturally put the Alain family in the same camp with him.

It's something that can't be avoided, and it's not necessary.

Since there is no way to get rid of the relationship, to some extent, the position of the Elan family is also his position.

Those who are hostile to the Ailan family will be subconsciously hostile to him because of his relationship with siliv, and those who are friendly to siliv will have good intentions for him.

It's a network of relationships in the sky, not in vain.

And Chen Heng's efforts during this period have also yielded many results.

At least, in the face of his initiative to visit, many people have given part of the goodwill.

In the face of Chen Heng's request, many of them expressed their willingness to support Chen Heng's foothold in the north.

Of course, it is not without conditions.

But most of these conditions will not require Chen Heng to cash them now.

But anyway, at least in the short term, with the support of these people, Chen Heng should not worry about food for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng turns around in silence, and then leaves here in silence with hedosiri beside him.

Then, more than a month went by.

On a barren land, an army is moving forward.

"Is it so desolate..."

looking at the four territories and riding beside Chen Heng, hedosiri frowned: "this area seems to be..."

it's an indisputable fact that the kingdom of Karo is very empty.

But in the south, although it seems a little empty, at least a lot of land is still reclaimed and cultivated.

But in this place, things have changed.

There are deserted scenes everywhere, and there are not many people at a glance.

There's a lot of waste everywhere.

This unique sight seems to be more serious than other places in the kingdom of Karol.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help frowning. At this time, he didn't know what to say.

"If it's not like that, we can't take down all this big place."

One side, looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Heng's face is very calm, which seems to be no accident: "now this situation is very normal."

He had expected the scene before him.

Before he came here, he had done his homework and collected information about this area from various places.

This area is very large. In terms of scope, there are few territories in Karol kingdom that can be larger than this area.

In fact, it is not a complete territory, but a collection of many.

In the past, there were many names here.

Of course, up to now, the past names here are not important.

According to the practice of the world, the future name of this area should be taken by Chen Heng, who is the Lord. Generally speaking, his surname, that is, hartim, will be added in front of the name.

Qima and heduoxili are walking around. Chen Heng slowly walks forward and patrols around.

In front of me, this area looks very desolate, with weeds everywhere. At first glance, it looks like an undeveloped place.

Of course, even in places that have not been developed, under normal circumstances, there will always be refugees from other places who will occupy this area and slowly reclaim it.

And a lot of the reason why this area is so desolate is because of the orcs.Along the road, Chen Heng has seen the appearance of many orcs.

Compared with the relatively gentle and safe south, the number of orcs in this area has greatly increased, and those creatures are everywhere.

Chen Heng has also studied these orcs.

Unlike other orcs he had seen in the past, these orcs in the Karo area looked more ferocious.

Their stature is generally about 1.5 meters, which is shorter than that of normal adult men, and their physique is also thinner.

But their fighting power is more fierce, with sharp claws and tusks.

If ordinary people don't wear armor, it will be very dangerous to face them.

Moreover, these people are different from the orcs Chen Heng has seen in other worlds in the past.

In other worlds, the orcs are closer to intelligent life.

But in this world, the orcs' intelligence is so low that they can't communicate at all.

They don't know how to farm. They are like wild animals. They hunt everywhere and even eat people.

Along the road, Chen Heng has seen many similar situations.

In many abandoned villages, there are always dense white bones covering, including both human and orc's own.

But there was no doubt that all the meat on the bodies had been eaten up.

These orcs seem to eat everything, not only humans, but also the same kind.

The dead of the same kind, in their eyes is also a good food, they will be eaten clean, there will be no left.

It's a Food Saver.

It is precisely because of the existence of these orcs that this area can not be developed.

Chen Heng knows this very well.

"It seems that the first thing we come here is to clean these things."

Looking at the scenes in front of him, Chen Heng shook his head and said, "otherwise, I'm afraid these things will multiply everywhere in the coming year."

"That was a terrible scene."

As if he had thought of something, he said, frowning.

In this world, the orcs are not only very aggressive, but also very prolific.

They are able to get in heat once a year, and each time they seem to be able to give birth to four or five.

Without restraint, under normal circumstances, it only takes four or five years for their cubs to develop and participate in reproduction.

The whole speed is extremely fast.

In Chen Heng's opinion, the reason why these orcs still carry a character is probably only because they can stand up and walk like human beings.

Apart from that, there is nothing like humans in these orcs.

No accident, for a long time, Chen Heng should face such an opponent.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng's mind flashed this idea.

As the team moved forward, they moved on.

Soon, he came to the only city nearby.

Of course, it's better to say a bigger town than a city.

In front of the town, there are only less than a thousand people.

At this juncture where the former Lord died in battle or left, they formed a guard of their own and managed to repel several Orc attacks.

But that's it.

In Chen Heng's view, the strength of their guard is still negligible.

After some twists and turns, he entered the town.

Of course, along with his entry, around the town, some men who seemed to be still strong had fallen to the ground, one by one seemed to have little strength and fainted directly.

This is the result of Chen Heng's action.

When Chen Heng brought people in, these people seemed to be trying to resist. They even saw that Chen Heng only brought a team of dozens of people and was ready to expel them.

In this regard, Chen Heng's performance is also very calm, just waved.

A group of syncope fell, and people all over the place fell down.

For ordinary people without the slightest mental resistance, mental deterrence is very easy to use. Basically, one use is accurate.

After that, Chen Heng's goal was achieved.

No one would dare to stop them from entering the town.

Later, Chen Heng looked around.

"So miserable?"

After checking about it, Chen Heng couldn't help frowning.

The situation in this town is very bad.

Because of the arrival of the orcs and the destruction of production, most of the refugees gathered in this town.

Because of the disaster, these people's living conditions are also very bad, many people seem to be starving.In this case, even if Chen Heng doesn't come, they can't seem to be able to maintain it for a long time. As time goes by, there are bound to be problems.

Of course, because Chen Heng took over this place, at the moment, these problems are also transferred to his head.

"Trouble..."

in the room, he shook his head and then looked at janli in front of him: "when will the food promised by his majesty kalimu arrive?"

"It's going to be a while."

In front of him, Zhan Li quickly opened his mouth and said, "but it's fast."

"In addition, the soldiers that Mr. Lamu brought and the support that my father gave will arrive in a while."

Before that, siliv had promised to give Chen Heng some support.

Among this support is food.

Lamu was left in the territory of the Ailan family by Chen Heng, responsible for transporting these things.

Now calculate the time, it should be almost there.

Listening to the news, Chen Heng nodded.

Anyway, there's good news.

So he thought for a moment, and then continued: "send people to take out our food, and hire those refugees to serve us at the cost of providing a lunch."

"At least, repair this place."

He thought for a moment, and then said so.

The environment in this place is terrible.

Under the chaos of war, many of the original order has already collapsed.

In this town, many places are missing and need to be repaired.

That group of refugees is just right.

By the way, we can also take this opportunity to establish our own authority.

So, the place in front of us began to work.

With the support of Zhan Li and others, they took out part of the grain to hire the refugees, command them, and clean up everywhere.

The reason for this is also to reduce the occurrence of epidemic diseases.

Before that, the city was full of people, and all kinds of excrement piled up around it. The smell can be described as endless.

At this moment, I just take this opportunity to clean these up.

And as the grain goes down, the surrounding areas gradually stabilize.

Those who have lost everything get food, and their mood is slightly stable. They no longer reject Chen Heng, a trusted Lord.

Things seem to be getting better.

Half a month later, Lamu also brought people here.

He brought the rest of the soldiers, more than three hundred.

And with him came a large number of grain.

These grains are supported by siriv and represent the support of the Elan family.

Later, there are also some other family team, slowly rushed over, the support promised in advance to Chen Heng.

With this support, Chen Heng's hand is no longer so tight, and he can do more.

He began to try, let hedosiri with some people, go out to sweep the orcs around.

Although we already have a batch of grain, it is not advisable to sit back and eat nothing.

For long-term stability, production activities must be restored as soon as possible.

And in order to do that, the orcs everywhere have to be swept away.

Otherwise, by those orcs constantly wandering outside, attacking civilians, I'm afraid not many people can still produce normally.

To this end, Chen Heng did not hesitate to hand, personally expelled the scattered orcs around, to ensure the safety and order of this area.

After that, they were relieved.

....

"is it ahead..."

in the barren wild area, a carriage is struggling on the road.

Looking at the town in front of him, a middle-aged man looked very excited. At this time, he seemed to be happy.

"It looks like we've arrived at the Warlock's territory."

"According to the rumor, he should be there now."

In the carriage, another young man's face was also full of excitement. At this moment, he said, "blessed by the goddess of magic, we have finally found this ghost place."

"God knows, why did you come to this place to be lord?"

He couldn't help complaining.

"All right."

Looking at the young man complaining, the middle-aged man showed a smile on his face and said, "anyway, under the care of the magic goddess, we finally found this place."

"Come on, for the sake of our plan, let's get in touch with each other and see if we can work with each other."

He said so, his face was full of excitement when he spoke.One side, it seems to think of something, young people are also full of excitement, at the moment with the side of the middle-aged man, slowly walked in.

They slowly walked into the front of the town, but also its garrison personnel contact.

"What?"

Sitting quietly in his room, listening to the words of hedosiri in front of him, Chen Heng frowned: "two mages?"

"Are you sure?"

He asked, looking at the man in front of him.

No wonder he asked.

In this world, mage is a famous noble profession.

A real mage is often a nobleman. No matter where he goes, he can easily get a noble title.

And in this world, the status of mage is very high. To some extent, mage is one of the most noble professions in the world.

In such a wilderness, it's no wonder that Chen Heng is confused when he hears the news that two mages have come to visit him.

Because under normal circumstances, people like mages tend to stay in prosperous cities and rarely come to the wild.

A mage is not like a soldier. He needs to travel frequently to hone himself.

Comparatively speaking, they are more like witches in the wizarding world. On weekdays, if it is not necessary, they often nest in their own laboratories and do all kinds of experiments.

So at this moment, listening to the news, Chen Heng will be so unexpected.

As a matter of fact, not only he but also hesperi, who was in front of him, was very surprised when he heard the news.

At the beginning, he even thought that they were two swindlers, trying to come here to defraud property.

To this end, he also personally tested, which confirmed the identity of the other party, to report to Chen Heng.

"Let them in."

Sitting there, Chen Heng frowned, then raised his head and said.

In any case, since someone comes to visit, even if it is out of etiquette, we should meet with each other.

Moreover, the identity of the other side is not low. As a mage, his own identity is not inferior to that of ordinary nobles.

"Yes."

In front of him, he nodded, then went out in silence.

"Our Lord, please come in."

In a spacious room, he said, looking at the two men in robes in front of him.

In front of the room is still spacious, it looks chilly, but still clean, has been carefully cleaned.

In the room, the two mages who had visited before were staying in it at the moment.

"Please lead the way."

Looking at hedosiri in front of him, one of the two mages, the older middle-aged man, said, looking a little impatient.

On one side, the young man didn't speak. He just looked at hedosiri in front of him. Looking at this, he was also a little excited.
