Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 276



[Chapter 276: Fel Crystal Ore]

He was dragged along to eat meat without knowing what was going on, but at least he managed to enter the orc city without arousing anyone’s suspicion.

He felt that his infiltration was going smoothly, and he was full of confidence in the next action.

“It seems that it is not difficult to achieve the planned goal!”

Milad and Sapp seemed to have no scheming, and revealed a lot of information during their chat.

For example, the orcs originally came to the northern plains through the Death Icefield.

The so-called Death Icefield is a place similar to the polar regions. The orcs took advantage of the severe winter weather and the expansion of the Death Icefield to connect the island where they originally lived with the Brunnia continent and came here.

The reason why the orcs came to the northern plains was simple. The place where they originally lived could no longer support so many orcs.

The lack of various resources such as food, minerals, and wood, coupled with various natural disasters, made the orcs find it increasingly difficult to survive in their hometown, so they had to migrate to the northern plains.

After discovering this vast land, the orcs tried hard to build it into a new home and build ships to bring more compatriots over.

When David heard this, he thought of the dark elves. The experiences of both sides were highly overlapping, and they simply used the same template.

David didn’t know what the dark elves were like when they first came to the Brunnia continent.

But the orcs were not in a good situation. They had a large population, but relied on hunting to get food. In addition, the land on the northern plains was very barren, and the weak farming technology was completely useless here.

In this case, the orcs survived by relying on green thick soup.

It was a green thick substance stored in a jar with strange words engraved on it. Pour some of it into the utensil, add leaves, branches, bark, weeds, and even soil, then add some clean water, stir it evenly, and you can eat it.

When David watched Sapp finish a bowl of green thick soup, he was dumbfounded. What

shocked him even more was that even this thing was limited, so Sapp only made one bowl for himself and did not treat Milad and David extra.

After eating the little meat to satisfy his craving, Sapp finished a bowl of green soup and looked forward to a better tomorrow: “When the army defeats the metal man in the west, we will be able to obtain more and more fertile land, and then we will have endless delicious food.”

“By then, Milad won’t have to secretly go hunting when on guard at night, and Marcela will be able to eat a lot of meat, grow up healthy and strong, and become a tall and strong female orc!”

“Tanbo doesn’t have to complain about not having enough to eat, and can only drink water to fill her hunger!”

After a long talk, Sapp asked the two to go back and have a good rest, reminding them that they still had to continue to stand guard tonight, and then went straight to bed to sleep.

Milad didn’t think it was wrong, and got up and prepared to leave. David certainly had no reason to stay.

After leaving Sapp’s residence, David roughly judged the direction and found that it was not far from the area where the green light was seen before.

Standing here, he could clearly feel the huge chaotic atmosphere, which was many times greater than the power contained in the talisman he had obtained before.

He guessed that the area should be the factory that made runes and fel shells.

Turning his head to look at Milad, this “teammate” walked straight into a house diagonally opposite. It turned out that he lived so close to Sapp.

As for Tambo’s residence? David certainly didn’t know where it was, and he hadn’t thought about this issue. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, and walked straight to the target area.

He was now a strong orc warrior, and he could move freely here. As he continued to move forward, David saw many orc laborers who were much thinner.

The status of the orc laborers was much lower than that of Tambo, the orc warrior. When they saw him, they didn’t even dare to look at him, and would immediately avoid David’s direction to avoid any contact with David. After

walking for a while, David saw green thick soup, fel shells, runes and other things, and confirmed that he had found the right place.

But he couldn’t enter the core area of the factory. There were many warriors guarding it. He didn’t try to break in rashly, but walked straight past the door, as if he was just passing by.

After walking around for a while, he left the factory area, not walking around endlessly.

He walked around all the areas that he could enter and exit freely, and he had not explored the places that he could not enter yet. He was thinking whether to wait until night or find a chance to sneak in now?

Just as David was thinking about what to do next, he noticed someone walking straight towards him.

“Tanbo? Why are you here?” A strong female orc walked up to David and stopped him. The strong muscles on her body seemed to remind people that she was a very powerful and dangerous orc warrior: “Didn’t you have a guard duty last night? Did you ask someone to take over?”

Before David could speak, the female orc said a lot of things, and finally concluded: Tanbo, you bullied Milad again!

“…”

Looking at the angry female orc in front of him, David didn’t know whether he should explain that he didn’t bully Milad?

But this female orc was obviously impatient. She didn’t wait for David to explain at all. She turned around and left after she finished talking.

Judging from the direction she was going, maybe she was going to find Milad?

David stood there and looked for a moment, and suddenly had a special feeling: apart from the difference in appearance, what is the difference between these orcs and the humans in Winter City?

Even if they were “glorious orc warriors”, they only wanted to eat more meat.

And the entire orc tribe just wanted to survive.

From the standpoint of the orcs, David could fully understand their crazy attack on Winter City.

But unfortunately, David was not an orc, and he was even an enemy of the orcs.

Although he could understand it, he still wanted to defeat these orcs.

He paused and suddenly thought of another thing: the orcs’ crazy attack on the Brunnia continent was ultimately guided by a mastermind behind the scenes.

What about the orcs’ own thoughts?

If they had a choice, would the orcs still attack the various races on the Brunnia continent like crazy? Following

this line of thought, David soon realized a problem.

As long as the orcs continued to use the power of fel energy, David could not coexist peacefully with the orcs.

This is determined by the nature of the power of fel energy. At present, the main food of the orcs is green soup, which is basically fel energy soup. What will these orcs become if they keep drinking this thing? Will all the orcs become crazy if they eat this thing for a long time?

“Forget it, I’m not a savior after all! I’m not a hero or leader of the orcs.”

If some orcs realize the problem themselves and want to coexist peacefully with the various races on the Brunnia continent, David doesn’t mind lending a hand to help a little! But he is not so great as to personally guide the orcs to get rid of control.

Continue to explore the next target area. This area is also filled with a lot of chaotic atmosphere. After really coming here, David found that the chaotic atmosphere and fel energy concentration here are higher than the factory area he went to before. With

such a strong fel energy, the holy light in David’s body almost automatically released a shield for defense.

Fortunately, he controlled his power well enough to not expose his true identity.

At the same time, David noticed that the skin of the orc laborers here had begun to turn green. Each orc seemed to have taken stimulants and was extremely excited. Their movement speed was twice as fast as that of orcs in other places.

Just as he had thought, orcs who were exposed to the evil energy for a long time and excessively would become more and more crazy.

Even the guards here were not so sober. David walked over with a swagger, and they didn’t think it was wrong at all.

Following the chaotic atmosphere, David found himself in a passage that was slowly going down. After walking for a while, he was sure that he had reached the underground.

After moving forward for ten minutes, the front suddenly became extremely open, and the whole space was filled with green light.

“Watfak?”

What surprised David was not the orc laborers around him who were busy, waving pickaxes, and pushing carts in and out of countless passages, but the large cluster of crystals in front of him that were emitting green light.

“Is this crystal ore?”

He was too familiar with this thing. The crystal ore, the most important resource in Winter City at present, looked like this!

The biggest difference is that the crystal ore in his home is blue and purple, and contains very pure energy; while the large crystal ore in front of him is green, and contains evil energy that exudes a chaotic atmosphere.

He thought of countless possibilities, such as seeing a large pool of viscous green liquid; or a strange altar that exudes a chaotic atmosphere; he even thought that he might meet an orc warlock who is good at strange spells.

But he never thought it would be such a scene.

“Are you shocked? This is the gift of my Lord!”

With a sudden voice, a violent and chaotic atmosphere appeared not far from David.

Turning his head, a green-skinned orc in a black robe stood there staring at David, with a smile on his face that everything was under control, and he obviously didn’t take David seriously.

“Although I don’t know what strange means you used to disguise yourself as a great orc, since you have come to my door, don’t think about leaving.”

With his hands open, green evil energy flames appeared on the hands of the black-robed orc, and as the black-robed orc pushed his hands forward, it shot straight at David.

Boom!

The flames exploded, and the green fel flames scattered all over the ground, but David, who was hit, still stood there, without even changing his posture, but a faint golden color appeared on his dark brown orc body.

“With this kind of strength, there is no way I can stay.”
