Chapter 162: The Uruk Tribe
"To the east, the royal capital, the army of Orcs, and the mysterious man."
That morning, Levi and Farodan got together and told each other these pieces of information at the same time.
"A large army of Orcs has gathered in the capital of the Dongyi Kingdom. It seems that they are here to help the Dongyi people deal with some force."
"It is said that the leader of that force is a hateful traitor who spreads rumors that are detrimental to the unity of the East Yi and Mordor all day long. There is also an evil wizard supporting him."
Farodan talked about the information he got from various places:
"Unlike previous armies, this army is quite brutal. Not only are there Orcs, but there are also some species called Uruks that are almost as tall as humans, and there are also many terrifying beasts."
"There was a homeless man whose house collapsed under the crush of a giant beast, and his family members also lost their lives. No one stood up for him, and no one cared about the matter. In order to get away from those brutal guys and that sad place, he fled from the capital to here."
"It's similar to the information I got."
Levi said calmly, "Well, it's pretty much the same. It just lacks some details compared to your information."
“I see.”
Farodan believed it immediately and asked, "What should we do next?"
After all, Levi was the initiator and leader of this adventure, and all he could do was try his best to help.
"Let's go to the capital."
"That place isn't too close."
Since the smuggling method does not support bringing horses along, the fast horses previously brought out from the territory have been deposited in Dorwinion.
But it doesn't matter.
As an important trading port of Dongyi and the border with Dorwinion, this town would regularly send vehicles to the capital to transport various supplies and fine wines.
Of course, ordinary people are definitely not allowed to ride on this kind of vehicle.
But there are exceptions to everything, especially when the exception is rich.
"Listen carefully. Don't show your heads out or make any noise. Get down as soon as you get to the place."
With the help of the connection found by Farodan, the two of them also got on a direct train to the royal capital.
Just walk and stop along the way.
A few days later, when the edges of the magnificent palaces and cities appeared on the horizon, the horses pulling the carriage began to move restlessly.
Levi peeked out through a small gap.
The city was dazzlingly golden, and even the city walls reflected a certain halo.
It's a pity that the surrounding scenery is too gloomy.
Outside the city walls there were Orcs in black armor all over the ground, and huge beasts roaming around, grabbing a sheep and starting to eat it raw, without even removing the hair.
As the carriages continued to move forward, passing by the Orc army stationed outside, the movement quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Several trolls and orcs drooled as they stared at the supplies and the horses and drivers who were responsible for transporting them.
Pah! A taller Orc, or Uruk, slapped the head of an Orc that was ready to move, and spoke down to him, and the Orc withdrew his hungry gaze.
Even the ogre next to them became more obedient.
"The Uruk-kin of Mordor, a new kind of orc."
Farodan recognized the creature and said, "It is recorded in the history books of Gondor that they first appeared in 2475 and sacked Ithilien in their first battle."
"They consider themselves superior to the smaller Orcs, as the Uruk-folk usually call them—"
"You stinking Snagas (slaves), be quiet!"
The roar was almost in my ears.
These Uruks were of high rank among the Orcs, and could command the Orcs and use them as slaves; some of the stronger ones could even command ogres.
“It looks even more difficult to deal with.”
Levi couldn't help but frown.
Judging from their size and appearance, these guys can be said to be the youth experience version of Azog. Although their individual qualities are far inferior to the latter, they are outnumbered.
A thousand Orcs wielding machetes and spears might not be much of an army.
But a thousand strong Uruks wearing fine steel armor, holding butcher knives and battle axes, with even stronger execution and discipline, that is something to be considered.
Levi licked his lips, feeling the urge to cut out his weapon.
These bigger, stronger, and more sturdy guys must be more exciting to chop.
However, no matter how impulsive you are, you still have to be clear about the situation.
It's not the right time yet.
Somehow, the Uruk who was suppressing the restless group of Orcs on the side of the carriage felt a tightness in his heart, as if a knife had just cut across his head, but was just dodged.
"Get back here!"
Roars replaced fear, and the Uruk stood in front of an ogre, baring his fangs and shouting ferociously.
The ogre sucked his saliva, looked at Captain Uruk in front of him, then looked at the carriage that was already going away, and finally chose to turn around.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you yelling so loudly..."
It muttered and walked away.
Under the protection of several Uruks, the caravan passed smoothly, and the restlessness of those less sensible Orcs and beasts was quickly suppressed.
If you can't tell the difference between eating one meal and not being full every time, then there's no point in living.
In a corner of the royal capital, the coachman looked around alertly, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he knocked on the carriage twice.
"It's a real mess out there."
Levi emerged from under the opaque cloth and gave an assessment of the situation outside.
"This is the first time I've seen Oak so well behaved."
Farodan followed closely.
“That’s right here.”
The driver kindly reminded: "Remember, don't run around in the middle of the night, especially don't run outside the city."
"Most of those orcs are well-behaved, but you can't guarantee that there will be one or two who can't help themselves."
"Civilians are in danger in this situation, unless you are capable enough..."
The driver looked at the two men before him.
A man who looked like a homeless man, his face was a little blurry and it was hard to recognize where he was from, but he was strong enough and was carrying a dagger, so it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.
The other one looked much more pleasing to the eye. He seemed to be wearing armor under his robe, and with that aura, no one would believe that he had never seen blood.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. Good luck to you."
"Good luck to you, too."
A pleasant transaction was completed.
Farodan couldn't help but sigh: "I have never had such a smooth operation in my life."
"Oh? Why?"
“Because I have no money.”
"The salary you gave to the driver just now is enough for him to live a dissolute life for several months, even if he did nothing during these months."
"In the past, I would have thought of other ways."
Levi smiled.
"Don't worry."
He said: "Our future operations will always be smooth."
