Chapter 453 As long as he is here, the empire cannot be shaken!
"I see."
Lu Chen nodded and took out a bottle of legendary quality potion "Lin of Life" from the imprinted space. This potion can restore the source of life, a small amount of physical strength, and relieve the weak state.
He bought this potion before the World War to prevent him from becoming weak after excessive use of violent blood. It cost 180,000 origin coins and was at a discount. It was of high quality and low price.
"Drink it."
Lu Chen threw it to Gu Lanting. This lieutenant was very loyal and not weak in strength. He could help him a lot in this world.
As for conjuring things out of thin air, since he has the Howard family's storage ring, there is nothing suspicious about it.
Such a rigid person would probably not peek at the contents of the storage ring. If the other party had seen it, he would have other reasons to explain it.
"The fountain of life? This is what Miss Dakosi left for you, I can't use it."
Gurantin waved his hands repeatedly, thinking that Marquis Carls had collected Duke Godzilla's belongings before he was imprisoned and stored them together in the storage ring.
After all, Marquis Carls was the last person to see Duke Godzilla before he was imprisoned, and he probably helped him save something at that time.
He felt that the breath of life in the potion was extremely strong, and subconsciously thought that it was something left by the elf princess Dakosi to the Duke. It belonged to a woman's love for her lover. It was also an item that the Duke missed Dakosi after they separated. How could he Can it be used?
Lu Chen looked serious, "I let you drink it."
Gu Lanting's expression straightened, and he subconsciously stood up again. His instinct to obey orders made him hesitate to drink the bottle of potion.
Warmth gradually rises in the body, and the body's weakness slowly disappears.
Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction. Dakosi is the name of the elf princess, and it is also the name of Eri Yi in this world.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the homophony of this name, in English that he and Eri Yi are familiar with, is ducks, which reminds him of the little yellow duck that Eri Yi likes very much.
Eri Yi's name was not Mothra or something like that, so it was probably just a coincidence that Lu Chen knew his name, or maybe Space was too lazy to help him and Eri Yi change their "couple names".
While waiting for Gu Lanting to recover, he was also experiencing the world more carefully.
Different from his hometown and the dragon world, he didn't know what form the continent existed in, or whether it was a planet.
But according to the introduction of the world background, he knew that this was a place much wider than the earth, and in terms of gravity, it was about a hundred times that of the earth.
Therefore, the lower limit of difficulty in this world is level 20. If a person's physical fitness is too poor, it will be difficult to move freely after entering, let alone fight.
In other words, ordinary farmers in this world may be much better than first-order explorers...
The pinnacle of the second-level explorer, that is, level 20, may only be able to meet the standards of the Keya Empire's recruitment and become an ordinary soldier.
The general-level figures in the army have each attribute close to 70 points, and there are many senior generals who exceed it, just like Gu Lanting.
In this world, unlike magicians who get stronger with age, knights who practice fighting spirit to strengthen their bodies and fight do not become stronger the longer they practice, because they often go through half of their lives relying on their strong bodies to fight. Then it starts to go downhill.
Generally speaking, a warrior's peak period is from 60 to 100 years old.
If the former Duke Godzilla had not been blessed with dragon blood and inherited his father's good talents, he would not have become the strongest man in the empire before the age of thirty.
After Gu Lanting had adjusted his condition, Lu Chen said, "Let's go, let's go and see what the North is like now."
…………
The goshawk flies across the sky, and the wind blows the yellow grassland.
Surrounded by simple fences, there is the city.
Dirty excrement can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the stench is overwhelming, but those hulking creatures with hairy skin don't care.
Two majestic orcs collided and wrestled together. This was a common wrestling match. The orcs around them were carrying cheap and bad wine, drinking and shouting.
boom--
As the nearly three-meter-tall orc's gnarled muscles exerted force, another slightly shorter orc was thrown out. The ground trembled, and the orc warrior who was thrown out couldn't get up for a long time.
The winner beat his chest and roared around, demonstrating his power.
Then he pushed away the crowd of orcs, returned to the throne made of the bones of abyssal creatures, sat down, picked up the wine jar, and started drinking.
"ah--"
Putting down the wine jar, Orc King Bailong let out a sigh of relief, obviously in a good mood at this time.
His golden mane looked particularly bright under the sunlight. The leaked wine was still flowing on his majestic chest, and gradually stopped due to the absorption of the hair.
He raised his hand to comb his mane. He is a lion king among the orcs, and he is also the strongest of the lion kings. He inherited his father's throne and has now led the orc tribe on the grassland for thirteen years.
"King, there is new news from the border."
An old man from the fox tribe came close to the orc king, his voice was calm, and the fluffy fox tail swayed, revealing the slight uneasiness in his heart.
Except for the furry fox ears and tail, the old man looks no different from humans. They are the race closest to humans in appearance among the orcs.
At the same time, the fox tribe is also a rare high-IQ existence among the orc tribe. Every orc king will have a fox tribe adviser beside him. In order to stabilize the relationship between the "king and his ministers", the fox tribe adviser will usually send the most beautiful female fox in the family. A man marries the orc king.
Without exception, the women of the fox tribe can always please the orc king.
After all, on the continent of Aika, apart from the women of the elves, the women of the fox tribe are the most beautiful, which seems to be a racial talent.
In the early years of the human world, fox maids were also very popular among nobles. Some nobles with unique sexual tastes were very fond of the fox ears and tails of fox women. In order to satisfy the nobles' preferences, smugglers would come to the orc grassland every year to steal maids. A girl from the fox-hunting tribe, this is also one of the reasons for the many wars between the orcs and humans.
As for the problem of betrothing a girl from the fox tribe to the orc king and giving birth to an heir with impure blood, there is no such problem.
Because the bloodline of the Lion King is extremely domineering, as long as the Orcs mate with them, the orcs born will definitely be of the Lion King family, and the purity of the bloodline will not be affected.
"Jius, tell me what you have to say."
Bailon placed the wine jar next to him. He looked rough and brave, but he was not a cruel king to his subordinates. Instead, he was one of the few orc kings in the past who could listen to the advice from below.
"Godzilla is out of jail."
The old fox man Jius said.
"Godzilla?"
Bailon was a little confused. He felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it clearly. "Who is that? What if he is released from prison?"
Jius was a little helpless. This beastman king was good at everything, but his memory was not very good. "It was Duke Godzilla who was once known as the guardian of mankind. He was released from prison."
Bailon patted his head, and some vibration waves burst out in the air, which showed how strong he was. "Oh, it turned out to be him, the one who killed the guardian dragon."
Jiusi really wanted to ask, my king, could you please pat your head less vigorously? I'm afraid that one day you'll pat yourself silly.
After Bairon remembered it, he wondered again: "What does it have to do with us if he is released from prison?"
Jiusi sighed in his heart, but knowing that the Lion King's IQ was like this, he patiently explained: "My king, you have forgotten that the war is coming, and the return of the Duke is not a good thing for us."
Bailon took a rare moment to think deeply, "...hasn't he been deprived of military power and has nothing? He can't do anything now that he's released from prison. After all..."
There was a hint of complacency in the corner of his mouth, as if he was a rare wise man, "...the king of the Keya Empire seems to dislike him very much..."
Bailon has already remembered Duke Godzilla's various deeds. He also admires the other person's personal bravery and even wants to fight with him.
But even if he is not a very smart person, he can still tell that the current monarch of the human race, Kusla Howard, does not like his illegitimate brother.
The reason why he didn't take action before was because he was still young, and Duke Godzilla's army was too powerful. Now that Duke Godzilla has no army, although he is still a tiger, he is already a tiger without his claws.
And this person is still very trustworthy and promised not to violate the previous monarch's affairs. Now that his power has been eliminated and he is put on the bench, he feels that the other party will not be able to make any waves.
"Wang, you can actually remember such a thing!"
Jius looked at the Beastman King with a strange and gratified look. He didn't expect that the King would even think about it.
Bailon looked at his adviser with some dissatisfaction, "What do you think this king is..."
Jius was a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and continued: "You are right, Kusla really hates his brother."
Bailon scratched his head and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Even if he is released from prison and returns to the capital, he will at most be fighting among himself, which is good for us, right?"
Jius shook his head, "It seems like this on the surface, but in fact, Duke Godzilla is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe he will not go against his brother, but there is definitely a way to return to the army. If we and Keya If the empire goes to war, it will be more troublesome."
"What will he do? The Keya Empire currently has real power, but it seems that there are no more of his people, right? Kusla will not let him return to the army."
Bailon was puzzled. Because he was warlike, he didn't worry about other things, but he knew the army of the Keya Empire very well. It was no longer the same army as it was twenty years ago. There was a major change of blood.
You, a duke who committed a major crime and fell into decline, now have no one around you and no power in your hands, how can you stir up any trouble?
Oh, if you choose to assassinate the king, you can indeed cause chaos in the royal capital, but judging from the past deeds of the duke, he is still very ethical and will not attack his younger brother.
Jiusi stood there, and the old leader of the fox clan recalled the past, "Wang, you only started to come into contact with things in this world in the past ten years, so you don't know much about some things."
The lifespan of the Orcs is shorter than that of the Humans, but their strength improves very quickly. For example, today's Bailong was only twenty-eight years old when he became the Orc King, and he was already the strongest of the Orcs. Now he is forty-one and in the prime of life. prime of life.
And in another twenty years, after reaching the age of sixty, they will start to become old, and their life span may be over at the age of eighty.
Jius is seventy-two this year. He has also assisted Bailon's father and is considered a "veteran of two dynasties."
"you say."
Bailon is always very patient with his adviser. He knows that he is not as smart as the other person, so he must know how to listen.
Jius recalled: "I remember that more than thirty years ago, when your father was still alive, I went to the capital of Keya Empire on behalf of the orc tribe to discuss the issue of annual money."
Bailon nodded. He was still young at that time, but he vaguely remembered this incident. Because the throne of the Keya Empire changed, and many things happened to the royal family in those years, the area bordering the orc territory was beaten to pieces by the orcs. , had no choice but to negotiate and pay "yearly money"
Jius said with emotion, "On that mission, I met the most awe-inspiring powerful person in the East. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, that is, I didn't want to meet that man on the battlefield."
Bailon thought that Jius was talking about the young king at that time, and said jokingly: "I said Jius, a child of eleven or twelve years old, does it make you tremble?"
Jiusi shook his head with a solemn expression, "There was no king in my eyes at that time, only the person behind the king. I didn't know who he was at the time, but with him here, the Keya Empire cannot be shaken."
Bailon was stunned for a moment. He knew that Jiusi had a ruthless vision and was very accurate in judging people. The fact that the other party could say such things meant that the other party was indeed not simple.
"He is...Duke Godzilla?"
Jius nodded, "Yes, and my thoughts were soon confirmed. Duke Godzilla bloodbathed the royal capital and sent all the ministers who despised the royal power to the gallows. The rest of the powerful officials surrendered in front of him. , you know, Duke Godzilla was only...eighteen years old at that time."
Bailong's expression also became solemn. When he was eighteen years old, he was still thinking about finding a strong-looking guy to wrestle with in his tribe every day, or finding a beautiful orc girl to have sex with.
He probably knew what happened next. After Duke Godzilla turned nineteen, he went to the Great Wall to join the army. In just a few years, he established an unparalleled success. For a time, he had all the power and power in his hands. He was even in the limelight of the Keya Empire. Overwhelm the king!
Therefore, after he made a mistake and accepted the trial honestly, the happiest person was not the abyssal creature, but the king of the Keya Empire, Kusla Howard.
Because the brother who was pressing on his head and making him breathless was finally disappearing from his eyes.
Jiusi continued: "So Wang, think about it, if a person like him is released from prison, will he really continue to sit on the bench when he returns to the royal capital? How could a person like him be guilty of the Dragon Clan? Are you willing to go to jail? You're just staying in the Camões dungeon because your lover left and you were disheartened."
His voice became deeper, "And now...he is back. You must know that for the human race, he is at his true peak. His personal strength is definitely stronger than before. This is just one of them. What is more troublesome is that in order to defend the empire, , he will definitely regain military power, no matter...what means he uses."
Bailon asked: "Then should we still fight this war? You must know that the food for the winter this year is not enough, and we need the bordering provinces."
Qiusi's eyes were changing unpredictably, "Don't rush, let's take a look, there is still time, and I heard that the Great Wall has not been very peaceful recently."
