Hail the King

Chapter 1016: The City of Behemoth, Ending of the Battle at Sea (Part Three)

In the beginning, these orc mounts repelled humans a little. However, these Chambordians were all master and great riders. After riding for several hundred meters, they already tamed these strange beasts.

These beasts looked dull, but their speed was several times faster than the best horses that humans had. Also, since their body sizes were huge, the impact force that they had was much stronger.

Fei couldn’t help but think.

These beast mounts were full of strength, and they could carry thousands of kilograms of weight. If they were equipped with top-tier armor and put into a cavalry legion with strong and fully-armed orc warriors, their combat strength could instantly wipe out more than a dozen human cavalry legions.

If the power of totems and the unique abilities of orcs were added to that, the combat strength…

Fei felt like it was terrifying just to think about it, and such a cavalry legion would be the king of cavalry legions.

These beast mounts covered the distance of 30 kilometers in less than 10 minutes, and the group was before the [City of Behemoth] already.

The true magnificence and greatness of this city could only be sensed up-close.

People like Torres were so shocked that their mouths opened wide, and Fei praised silently in his mind.

The Capital of Zenit and the Capital of Leon were all magnificent cities, but they seemed inferior compared to this city. This city didn’t have the fanciness and luxuriousness of St. Petersburg and Gerland, but the [City of Behemoth] was shockingly firm and rooted to the ground. If Gerland and St. Petersburg were like noble ladies who were full of jewelry, the [City of Behemoth] was like a hot-blooded strongman who walked out from the depths of a mountain with a giant ax and a big shield. This city had rough edges, been through a lot, and awed others by its valiant aura.

About 20 low-tier Moon-Class warriors of the Bull Clan guarded this gate.

Seeing Bull Clan Chief Nowitzki and others’ return, these warriors cheered and let the group into the city without doing many inspections.

The air in the city was a bit more humid, and there wasn’t as much dust in here.

The ground was paved with bricks baked from red clay, and buildings and stone palaces stood on both sides of the streets. Also, there were meticulously planted gardens, and plants that were sprouting grew in rich, black soil. The greeneries that could be seen everywhere on Azeroth looked exceptionally beautiful on the [Banished Land] that had a terrible environment.

Many orcs walked on the streets, and the shouts of vendors resonated in the area. There was finally some prosperity of intellectual society.

When Fei and others entered the city, they already changed into cloaks to cover their faces. Just like how the orc masters behaved in Chambord, these Chambordians hid their identities not to cause an upheaval amongst the orcs.

Even though this was the case, the fine and delicate cloaks attracted many orcs’ attention.

The ones who could afford to wear cloth clothing were all influential figures, and the orc masters such as Great Priest Nash who emitted powerful auras seems like guards. Subconsciously, the orcs thought that a big figure of a king clan was out here on patrol.

The journey was quite smooth; the group quickly ventured 60 kilometers into the city, and then they stopped beside a river.

“We need to report to Entus His Holiness in the Beast God Palace about our trip, and the ten king clans are also waiting for us,” Great Priest Nash said to Fei apologetically, “They don’t know that Your Majesty came back to the [Banished Land] with us. Before the king clans and the Beast God Palace make the decision, Your Majesty can walk around with Chief Altis. We will arrange hotels for Your Majesty and others.”

“Eh, that is fine. I was about to ask Chief Altis to lead us around the city, so we can check out the true presence of the behemoth orcs.”

Fei didn’t voice any concerns or issues.
