Dennis was even more surprised after getting the scroll. There are not many magicians on the mainland who can make such sophisticated magic scrolls. Those magicians usually have the title of senior magician and are reluctant to do it. However, Ryan just I made these in a few days of rest.
Although he is a priest, Dennis can definitely feel the magical power contained in the scroll. He knows that as long as he tears open the scroll, he can trigger the power on the scroll and let it strike accurately according to his wishes. On target, which is great for a Priest who has little offensive ability.
Dennis clearly remembered that Ryan only wore a magic apprentice badge on his chest. Of course, after experiencing a series of adventures, no one would really regard Ryan as a magic apprentice, but Dennis had a little doubt in his heart.
So Dennis asked Ryan indirectly. After learning that Ryan could only be a magic apprentice because he could not pass the promotion test of the Magic Guild, Dennis couldn't help but sigh up to the sky and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he is a magic apprentice. Priest, there are not so many rules for the promotion of a priest. As long as you are pious to the god you believe in, you can obtain the power given to you by the god. The higher the degree of piety, the greater the natural power. There is nothing to test.
After the distribution is completed, it means that the adventure of the Six Arrows Mercenary Group is over. Pastor Dennis soon joined another mercenary group in Wind Chime Town. They would escort a wealthy businessman and transport away the twenty carriages of goods purchased by the businessman here. As a pastor who could heal, he was naturally attracted by those mercenaries. After fighting desperately, being treated by a priest is one of the three wishes of every mercenary.
As for the other two, one was supported by a magician during the fight, and the other was led by a holy knight. The former has great power and will increase one's own chances of winning, while the latter is good at command and makes the battle easy and simple.
Burry is preparing to take the team back to his hometown. Six Arrows has suffered a heavy loss this time and needs to replenish its manpower. It is estimated that the focus will be on cultivating new blood for some time in the future. But Berry's face was full of confidence. There was no better help than experienced instructors, sophisticated weapons and magic scrolls made by Ryan.
Ryan also believed that the silence of the Six Arrows Mercenary Group would not be too long due to the anger of Buri and others. His heart was also filled with blessings for Buri and the others.
Suddenly, the lively room suddenly became deserted. Ryan sighed slightly and discussed his future journey with Allendo. Allendo suddenly proposed that he wanted to enter the Whispering Forest, where he hoped to find his new partner.
The two have been together for almost a year, and most of the time they rely on Ryan's opinions. However, as long as Allen puts forward his own opinions, Ryan also respects them very much. What's more, since Ellendor's wind wolves were killed in the battle against the Lich, Ellendor has been depressed. Ryan is also very unhappy when he sees it. Now Ellendor actually offers to find new partners. , Ryan was also happy for him in his heart.
Anyway, the two of them had nothing to prepare, so they simply packed up, and Ryan and Alando set off towards the Whispering Forest in the south.

North Tarun Steppe, orc territory.
For more than a month, hundreds of Shinshi riding white gray-toothed wolves have been galloping on the North Talon Prairie. They run in all directions on the grassland and convey the total war decree issued by Beast King Andreas to all the orcs. Tribal leader. After receiving this decree, every orc tribe immediately began corresponding war preparations.
After decades of rest and recuperation, the orc population has multiplied rapidly and has gotten rid of the impact of the huge catastrophe fifty years ago. The population has also grown from less than 800,000 to nearly 5 million.
The most direct consequence of the rapid reproduction of the population is the lack of food. If it were not for the powerful force of the Barbarian Bear tribe, the ruler of the orcs, perhaps the seventy-six tribes of orcs would have started bloody fighting. Although there were no large-scale wars, small-scale conflicts still broke out with the expansion of tribes. Many weak tribes had to migrate to the northern areas of the prairie in order to feed their own people. It's even colder, and maybe half of the clan members can freeze to death in one night of cold snap, but at least they don't have to face the powerful threat of their compatriots.
In any case, the North Talon Prairie has been relatively peaceful in the past few decades, but an order from the Beast King broke everything like a stone thrown into the lake. No matter which area they live in, no matter how many tribesmen there are, no matter what thoughts the leaders of these tribes have in their hearts, they have no choice but to carry on with the force of the Barbarian Bear Clan and their longing for the fertile land of the Nantalun Prairie. The warriors of their own clan embarked on the road to the Eastern Beast Blood Castle.
Beast Blood Castle is the closest city for the orcs to the Thunder God Fortress. It is about 150 kilometers away from the Thunder God Fortress. If you march with all your strength, you can reach the Thunder God Fortress in only 3 days. In the second year after the Barbarian Bear Tribe obtained the rule of the orcs, even though they had not yet recovered their strength, they still organized manpower to start the construction of this simple city. Over the past few decades, the size of the Beast Blood Castle has expanded twenty times. It can accommodate 500,000 people with food for a year and is the front line of the orcs' counterattack.
Of course, not every tribe sent out all the qualified men in the tribe, at least the Fengpeng clan living in the middle of the North Talon Prairie was one of them.
The population of the Fengpeng clan is not large, only about 130,000, which is far from the 1.5 million population of the Barbarian Bear tribe. However, every man in their clan is an excellent archer, and they have 40,000 archers who can hit the mark with perfect accuracy.
Elvis, the leader of the Fengpeng clan, is about 50 years old, which is an aging period for the orcs whose life span is only 60-70 years old. But decades of leadership career have kept Elvis's mind shrewd and clear-headed, without being affected by physical aging at all.
This time the Beast King ordered an all-out attack on the Thunder God Fortress. Elvis himself also had a lot of thoughts in his mind. The Wild Wolf Clan also issued the same order 50 years ago, but what was the result? In the Battle of Thunder God Fortress, hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed by the human army led by the Royal Knights.
Without the powerful deterrence of force, other clans under the rule of the Wild Wolf Clan launched a war to compete for the Beast King. The one after another riots and rebellions made the Beast King Frederick of the Wild Wolf Clan exhausted. As a result, he was constantly in the war with humans. The Barbarian Bear clan, which maintains its strength, seizes the opportunity. In the Battle of Panduras Wasteland, Frederick, the Beast King of the Wolf Clan, and his direct heirs were both killed on the battlefield.
Elvis was less than 20 years old at that time. At that time, the Fengpeng clan only had more than 30,000 people, and there were only 8,000 warriors in the clan. Naturally, it was impossible to compete with the Wild Wolf, Barbarian Bear and other clans that often had hundreds of thousands of warriors. campaign. But Elvis's father seized the opportunity of the battle between wild wolves and bears, and took advantage of their reluctance to cause trouble to occupy the Kelkosi Ranch, which is rich in water and grass.
Kerkosi Ranch is located in the south-central part of the North Talen Prairie. It is a rare place in the North Talen Prairie in terms of climate and products. Originally this was the territory of the Wild Wolf Clan, but after the Wild Wolf Clan failed miserably in their expedition to Thunder God Fortress, in order to resist the aggressive attack of the Barbarian Bear Clan, they transferred all the troops here to the front line. As a result, the Fengpeng Clan took advantage of them.
Although the Barbarian Bear Clan finally defeated the Wild Wolf Clan, it was a tragic victory and had to issue an order to recuperate. When the Barbarian Bear Clan regained its strength ten years later, the Fengpeng Clan had firmly controlled Kerkosi. pasture.
Now, Andreas, the beast king of the Barbarian Bear clan, has issued an order for all-out war. Elvis has his own plan in mind: if he openly disobeys the beast king's order, it will naturally not work, but it will be better to implement it with some discounts. It's only natural.
So Elvis asked his eldest son Terrence to lead 30,000 shooters to Beast Blood Castle to obey the Beast King's arrangements, and asked his second son Fred to lead the remaining 10,000 shooters to the north overnight, lurking In the large forest at the junction of the North Tallen Prairie and the northern frozen plateau.
According to Elvis's plan, when his eldest son Terrence attacked the Thor Fortress, since he was leading archers and was a long-range support force, his losses should not be great. If the Thunder God Fortress could be breached, Elvis asked his son Terence to seize a place with rich water and grass at all costs for the Fengpeng clan to migrate in the future.
If history repeats itself again, even if all these 30,000 archers are wiped out, the entire orc tribe will be severely damaged by then. Then the 10,000 archers of his second son are a decisive force, and he can rely on them This force reaps greater benefits.
Of course, since the current population of the Fengpeng clan is too small compared to the Barbarian Bear clan that rules the orcs, Elvis is not so arrogant as to replace the Barbarian Bear clan and rule the entire orc tribe. But he believed that as long as the Fengpeng clan could firmly occupy a few pastures with rich water and grass and slowly develop its population, it might not be impossible for the Fengpeng clan to do so in more than a hundred years.
When the orcs retreated to the North Talon Prairie 200 years ago, the Barbarian Bear Clan only had 70 to 80 thousand people, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. They only owned a small piece of land and lived a precarious life. And now? The Barbarian Bear Clan has become the most powerful clan of the orcs, with a population of 1.5 million, occupying nearly half of the entire North Talon Prairie, and owns seven of the ten most abundant pastures in the North Talon Prairie.
Elvis believes that as long as the Fengpeng clan continues to develop slowly, maybe the next beast king to rule the entire orcs will come from the Fengpeng clan. Elvis may not be able to see him anymore, but his eldest son Terrence is brave and good at fighting, and his second son Fred is rich in strategy and will definitely carry forward the Fengpeng clan.
