Chapter 627 - 115 Dreaming of the Ancient Past (VII)
The Nansha Great Forest was very far from the village where Lu Hong lived. Fortunately, Hai Ge knew the way. After discussing with the Clan Leader, they decided to travel light, bringing only a dozen warriors to ensure the transportation of weapons.
At the crack of dawn, Lu Hong set out with Hai Ge and the team. Beisha wanted to follow, but was persuaded to stay behind. With Beisha there, she could monitor the orcs’ movements at any time. If there was any chance of the village being discovered, Beisha could promptly inform the Clan Leader for early preparations for battle or retreat.
"This journey to Nansha is extremely remote; we expect it to take several months," Hai Ge began to describe the route to Lu Hong as they embarked on their journey.
They would first pass Beixing Mountain, go through Viscount Le Leng’s territory, then restock at a Human Race village, and afterward slip into Viscount Sis’s domain. Finally, they would pass through Bowang Mountain and reach the Nansha Great Forest.
The most perilous part was the Bowang Mountain area because it was under the control of an orc Earl. This orc Earl commanded hundreds of thousands of elite troops, including top-tier warriors who held a kill-on-sight attitude towards the Human Race. If captured, humans were directly eaten alive, also serving as an important barrier to prevent more humans from entering the Nansha Great Forest.
Luckily, Hai Ge knew a hidden path to avoid the orc Earl’s outposts and enter Nansha safely.
Lu Hong and the others rested during the day and moved at night, reaching Beixing Mountain after half a month.
But upon scouting, they found that Beixing Mountain had been tightly blockaded by orc armies, making it impassable.
"This shouldn’t be." Beixing Mountain had always been a contested area between Akes and Le Leng, with neither having the authority to station troops there. If one party seized Beixing Mountain, it would surely face a fierce attack from the other.
Seeing the mountain filled with orc soldiers, Hai Ge hurriedly pulled Lu Hong back.
Seeing the other’s grave expression, Lu Hong asked, "What did you discover?"
