That’s Hilarious

Looking at the sea in front of him, Roland came up with the idea of ​​drying sea salt, but this land does not belong to human beings, and there are certain risks.

The collection of sea salt is more complicated than other salts, but it can retain more trace elements in seawater, and can instantly stimulate and retain the original taste of the ingredients, which is fresh and delicious.

Salt has represented wealth since ancient times. Since there is no ocean near the Rhodes Kingdom, it only relies on salt wells and salt mines in various places. Let’s not talk about the taste for the time being. Because the output is not high, the price of salt has always been high.

If you can get sea salt from here, then you can fill the hole that needs money for the development of the territory.

It's just that the production process of sea salt is complicated, the production cycle is long, and the cost of production is also high; and due to different origins, the quality of sea salt also has many differences.

One of the most famous is the 'Lutaichang', which is now the Hangu Salt Factory.

According to historical records, 'Lutaichang' was built in 925 AD (the third year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty).

There are two ways to obtain it, such as boiled salt and sun drying. Considering the distance, boiled salt was abandoned; but sun drying is also for this reason, it is too far away from the control area of ​​human beings.

However, if the drainage can be opened, the above two problems can be solved, but there are also certain risks, and a lot of manpower and material resources are needed to carry out.

Thinking of this, Roland also remembered the erosiveness of wind and sand. There is the Hengduan Mountains, so there is no need to worry, but if the hole is not dealt with, it may also slowly erode Roland's territory, from small to large.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest, which is what I said.

Roland put this matter aside for the time being, and planned to investigate the surrounding situation first.

......

The farther you go from the coast, the less dry land there is and the less grass withering.

Roland and the others found a lot of abandoned gathering points along the way. It seems that the wooden stronghold has experienced a period of fighting; there are also many orc corpses and gnoll corpses scattered among them; from the perspective of architectural style and height, This is a tribe of gnolls.

The blood on the ground had solidified and turned black. Roland came to touch the bonfire and found that it had completely cooled down. What happened here has been more than a day.

It seems that the desertification of the land has seriously affected the ethnic groups on this land, and they have begun to fight each other.

Roland is most concerned about the situation of the orcs. He just passed by several gathering points and found no trace of the orcs. It seems that this is where some other aliens live.

Judging from the traces on the ground, the grass here is still crisp, but most of it has been eaten by animals. In this way, the impending desertification is happening here not just because of climate change, but also because of destructive grazing.

Roland looked at the angle of the sun in the sky and found that there was still a certain amount of time before it got dark. After hydrating and feeding the people and horses, they plan to rest here for a while. Afterwards, they dispersed everyone and did a good search to see if there were any threatening tribes nearby.

The development of the territory requires money, and salt is a necessities of life. If the quality of the sea salt produced here is high enough, it will become a pillar industry for a period of time in the future.

"After the rest, everyone spread out and went back to explore, in twos and twos. Before the sunset appeared, we rushed to the entrance of the cave to gather." After speaking, Roland was still a little worried, "Remember not to fight the enemy."

With everyone's response, more than 30 cavalrymen scattered, ready to carefully investigate whether there were any alien threats nearby.

As the exploration continued, Roland found traces of livestock on the ground, and he followed the traces all the way. Found a tribe of orcs, because some houses blocked the view, so he had no way to judge how many orcs there were.

Because it was daytime, and the sight of his eyes was far greater than the distance of one kilometer, he had no way to get close to them to obtain their true number through the map, but could only judge by the existing conditions.

This gathering point was bigger than what Roland had ever seen before. When Roland discovered them, they didn't find him, because Roland was only riding in two. In order not to be discovered, Roland also dismounted from a distance, and at the same time let the cavalry watch the warhorse, and he approached by foot.

As Roland approached, he saw a circle of wooden walls, surrounded by several tall watchtowers. In terms of architectural style, it follows the rough style of the orcs, and the shape is very abrupt and completely inconsistent with the natural environment.

There is no sense of coordination at all in the senses, the pure materials are piled up, and the appearance is disorganized. The top of the watchtower is a leather tent, and there are several pieces of wood exposed beside it, but the wood is cut into the unique fang decoration of orcs, which makes people look creepy.

Looking at the orcs standing above the watchtower on guard, Roland's little wing was shielded by trees and stones, he bypassed the wooden wall far away, and came to a stone that was diagonally opposite to the main entrance.

He didn't rush to probe ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but after first observing the direction of the orcs' attention on the watchtower, he chose to focus on this stronghold.

I saw two rows of orcs holding various weapons standing at the gate, most of which were one-handed axe, and the other hand was holding a rough shield. Roland didn't understand very much. Aren't these unskinned shields afraid of getting hurt? Or do orcs have thick skin too?

Most of the buildings inside are mainly tents, supplemented by wood to build tent huts, and the roofs are also fangs preferred by orcs. Roland opened the map and found that the distance was still about four kilometers. Based on this situation, he obviously had no way to move forward to find out the number of these orcs.

While thinking about it, a group of livestock suddenly came from a distance. They were mainly cattle and sheep, and they also followed hundreds of orcs.

To make matters worse, their direction of travel was bound to pass through Roland's hideout.

"damn it."

The armored cavalryman in the distance obviously noticed this too, sadly he couldn't do anything. If he chooses to pick up Roland, because the half-orc team has already come to their midst, if he chooses to attack now, he will not only expose himself, but also expose the position of adults.

If he chooses to divert the enemy, if he has one man and two horses, let alone half-orcs who don't have orcs' wolf warriors, even if they do, they probably won't be able to catch up with him.

It's just that he, who didn't get the order, made his heart reject this kind of practice. Because it might put adults in danger, which he doesn't allow.

In this way, he can only watch all this happen here. As the orc grazing team approached, his heart became more and more tense, and he could only keep praying that the orcs would change their paths.
