I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

After confirming that they currently did not have the conditions to plant the Tree of Life on the Unnamed Island and defend the tree from the Sahuagin offensive until the tree grew, the group had no choice but to take the Obsidian and leave the island that contained the crisis of destruction after a simple exploration. of islands.

However, Chen Zhou also left an ice beast as an eye. Although it was a bit difficult, he could barely control it through the Death Demon Zone.

In this way, the sahuagin can be informed in advance before they make an irreparable mistake and respond promptly.

As they left, no one heard any more singing.

Therefore, they couldn't help but suspect that the singing was not the result of the temptation of the sahuagin, but the guidance of a being who was worried about the crisis of annihilation.

It's a pity that now that the latter is unwilling to show up, they have no way to test their guesses.

According to the words of the Star People - the version hasn't arrived yet, so it's early to explore the map.

But in order to avoid accidents, Chen Yiran informed the Junzi Liuyi who stayed in Dahe Territory about the matter, and asked the other party to further produce weapons.

Immediately, Bob and other non-Star soldiers were ordered to turn back and prepare to take a boat with their firearms to station on the Unnamed Island.

After the crew fought against a small group of sahuagin, Todak, a businessman, discovered the shortcomings of arc rifles and pulse rifles.

It consumes too much energy and the firing interval is too long. In battles where fire coverage or close range is impossible, it is easy to be difficult to use because the opponent is too close to you - this thing has a chance of exploding its barrel when hit.

Once the arc rifle explodes, all the magic crystals in it will be detonated, causing a charged sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters to appear in one's own position, causing great damage to friendly parties.

"In other words, it's still not stable."

Playing with an arc rifle, Chen was a little unimpressed after hearing these shortcomings.

Powerful weapons carry inherent risks, which is why they recommend trained warriors rather than just anyone.

"The point is that it may self-destruct." Todak was speechless. "When we were fighting the sahuagin before, one of them was hit by a magic explosion, which almost killed all of us."

Hearing this, Chen Zhou thought thoughtfully. It was inevitable to take risks, but it was really not appropriate to be so dangerous.

This thing is similar to the explosive wand that the group of happy thieves wanted to sell to them.

Weapons with a range of 1 kilometer and an explosion range of 2 kilometers only exist as a joke.

"Then what if we can improve it further, for example, instead of keeping the magic crystal as a bullet activated at all times, it can be activated and fired like a bomb."

"A bolt gun? Yes, yes, this is useful."

Todak had no choice but to give up. Anyway, if the problem of self-destruction is not solved, its value as goods is really limited.

"But after all, it is a weapon developed with ice beasts as the imaginary enemy. When faced with intelligent monsters, it will inevitably be targeted. Once people find out that the firearm can explode, a long-distance arrow that can defeat the enemy is enough to defeat them. People have suffered heavy losses.”

Jerry's words reminded Chen that he should try to avoid fighting enemies with long-range attacks before improving his shortcomings.

It's just that whether it's a bolt gun or an optimized version of an arc rifle, someone never does it by himself.

After making suggestions for the left-behind Junzi Liuyi and Poison Milk-colored Ripples, he simply forgot about the matter...

……

Three days later, before the Obsidian, which had left the Sea of ​​Death, had time to correct its course and arrive at the Tundra Port, the ice beast clone on the other side had already arrived at Lionheart City, the capital of the Grassland Empire.

The original journey of five people became four after Bob heard that he was going to support the Northland and hurriedly returned to the Great River Territory. Only his stand-in, dried tofu and the two accompanying guards were left.

When he was trapped in the Death Demon Zone + Death Zone, Chen also contacted Gan Doufu through his clone and asked him to inform others about the incident.

"We're finally here. This trip has been really tiring."

Looking at the Cui Wei King City built in the west of the grassland, Chen Zhou couldn't imagine where the orcs, who were famous for their nomadic herding, came from to build a capital city with a wall that was more than ten meters high, and he couldn't help but sigh.

As long as this city exists for one day, other tribes on the grassland will not be able to threaten the dying old emperor, and even after that, they will at best not support his successor.

"This is also the reason why other tribes did not openly express their opposition." Gan Doufu believed it, but in fact, according to the Star People who started the game inside, the city was actually beautiful on the outside, but it was a mess on the outside.

The city is indeed the weakest of several capitals.

Once it is cut off from the outside world, it won't take long for Lionheart City to collapse.

It's just that no other tribe, not even the Golden Mane clan, can fight against it alone - first of all, they don't have enough wealth.

"Besides, Lord Chen, haven't you been staying in the car all the time? What's so tiring about this?"

"Aren't you tired?"

Ignoring Gan Doufu's doubts, the convoy summoned by Chen through magic was welcomed into the city after showing proof.

After entering Lion Heart City, he understood what the other party meant when he said "the golden jade on the outside is ruined on the inside".

It was a city that looked quite prosperous, but there were not many shacks and refugees outside. As soon as I entered, I saw the messy facilities and dirty environment along the road, as well as the residents who were in a depressed state of mind.

There are many naked people who look like homeless people. They often cast longing glances at people entering the city. If the convoy he summoned didn't seem to be inaccessible, someone might come up to beg on the spot. .

"What exactly is going on?"

Chen Zhou even noticed that most of these homeless people were orcs. Are the citizens of this country so miserable?

Only then did he remember that the era he lived in seemed to be the Dark Middle Ages, not a place like Greyhawk, which was apparently the Middle Ages but was actually an interstellar civilization.

Gan Tofu was a little surprised that the other party didn't even know this.

They originally thought that this Jin Jian layer was a noble noble from the grassland or the north from the beginning, but in the end, the other party turned out to be the person who least understood Lion Heart City?

Gan Tofu explained: "Because of class."

"Suddenly a very realistic word popped up."

Ignoring Jin Jianpeng's complaints, Gan Doufu explained the hidden problems in Lion Heart City in relatively detail.

As a founding emperor, the old emperor was indeed qualified.

He united the grassland tribes and developed the economy at all costs, determined to allow all different orc subspecies to unite into the same country regardless of bloodline restrictions.

That is, a large tribe in which different subspecies can coexist peacefully.

But there is a real problem: the strength gap between different subspecies of orcs is too large, which leads to the existence and solidification of natural classes.
