The villages in ruins, the fields covered with weeds, the white bones and the decaying corpses can be seen everywhere.

    There is no doubt that the black Orc army has visited this area.

    It is located in the south of Heiwu marsh. The latitude is not high. It can grow two seasons of wheat every year. Now it is the red month, which is also the harvest season of spring wheat.

    Renault found that all the spring wheat in the nearby wheat fields had been harvested. Judging from the stubble left in the farmland, the harvest time was just a few days ago.

    That is to say, it was the black orcs who organized the wheat harvest.

    To be exact, they drove the captured human slaves to harvest all the spring wheat.

    As for the harvested wheat and the human slaves, most of them have been transported to the larger cities nearby. That''s why this originally smoky area looks so desolate.

    In order to confirm his idea, Renault also went to some wheat fields to observe on the spot. As expected, many footprints were left in the wheat fields, some of which were significantly larger than those of human beings, and the footprints were deeper. These were the footprints of the black orcs.

    This discovery also made Renault a little silent. It is obvious that the black Orc army is occupying the land in an organized and disciplined way. Harvesting spring wheat is only the first step.

    With enough food, the black orcs will soon start large-scale colonization, and a large number of black Orc tribes will go south to enter the Dushan kingdom.

    I''m afraid that in a few months there will be many new owners with black skin.

    As for the original owners, they will be like autumn weeds, a large number of Die.

    The reason is very simple. Most of the food produced in this land will be supplied to the black orcs, and only a small part will be used to feed the human slaves. In the case of food shortage, most of the human slaves will either starve to death or Eaten by the black orcs.

    Renault preferred the latter, because the black orcs originated in the northern plateau, where the climate was cold and the products were relatively poor. In order to support enough people, they used to make the most of their resources.

    In their eyes, human slaves are just a kind of cheap labor resources and food resources.

    Therefore, instead of making most of the "food" thinner and thinner, it is better to take advantage of the "food" when it is the most "fat" and has the most meat.

    In other words, in the next few months, there will be appalling Mega scale cannibalism.

    The human slaves who can survive in the end will depend on how much food surplus there is, and only the strongest and most capable slaves have a chance to survive.

    According to Renault''s estimation, the proportion of human beings in this group is probably less than 20%.

    Such a thing is really like the alternation of old and new weeds in nature.

    When the cold winter falls, a large number of weeds wither and die. The remaining withered grass nourishes the earth and leaves enough nutrition.

    When winter goes and spring comes and new year comes, new weeds spring up and take advantage of the nutrition of dead weeds.

    Human beings are the dying weeds, while the black orcs are the growing weeds. They are stepping on the bones of human beings. No, they are eating the bones of human beings.

    It''s the winter of man, but the spring of the black orcs.

    Renault just walked around the fields a few times, just like a prophet, "seeing" what will happen in the next few months.

    However, these ideas only remain in his mind, he did not tell anyone.

    As for Mu Si and Angela and others, they saw the bare wheat field, also "only" saw the wheat field.

    They don''t have Renault''s powerful logical thinking ability of "seeing a spot and knowing the whole", and they don''t think from a strategic perspective like him.

    So they will not know how serious the disaster on this land will be!

    That is the most terrible evil, but also the most extreme black!

    "Look at the sky over there..." With Angela''s exclamation, everyone looked up into the distance.

    In the afterglow of the setting sun, a small black spot is hovering in the sky dozens of kilometers away.

    Muse looked at it, frowned and said, "it''s like the eye of the black Orc Army..."

    Hearing the word "devil''s eye", everyone''s face suddenly changed and squatted in the grass, because the sight of devil''s eye was very afraid. Even dozens of kilometers away, people could be found by devil''s eye.

    The girl asked, "is it just the mount of the magic eye?"

    Muse shook his head: "that bird is hovering in a fixed area. It''s probably investigating that area. It should have magic eyes on its back."

    Goodall hesitated for a moment and said, "it seems that Shancao town is in that direction..."

    It''s obvious that the area where the eye investigates is Shancao town.

    Muse sighed: "we are still a step slow..."

    All along the way, people traveled day and night, but in the end, they let the black orcs catch up with Shancao town.At this time, the sky can see a glimmer of twilight, but the black orcs are still searching for human beings. It can be seen how diligent the black orcs are. No wonder the army of black orcs is advancing so fast.

    The girl asked anxiously, "but what about Elon?"

    Elon is what moss called "old man" before. The purpose of people coming to Shancao town is to find Elon.

    According to muse, Elon once worked as a pirate. He knew the location of a large island, which was not only suitable for human habitation, but also quite hidden. It was Renault''s ideal farming site.

    Muse hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Elon is lame in his right leg. I''m afraid..."

    The implication is obvious. When the black orcs capture human slaves, they often kill the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Once Elon is found by the black orcs, he will be killed.

    Will he be found by the black orcs?

    If there are magic eyes in the sky and hunters on the ground, there is a great probability that Elon will be found.

    In other words, Elon is hard to escape.

    Renault thought of a question: "the population of Shancao town is not large. If we need to capture human slaves, it''s enough to have hunters. Why do the black orcs use magic eyes?"

    As an extremely rare and important strategic arm, the magic eye is controlled by large tribes, which also means that the black orcs who are plundering Shancao town belong to a powerful large tribe.

    But the problem is that the main target of this kind of large tribe is usually large towns with large population, and it hardly patronizes small towns such as Shancao town.

    Everyone looked at each other and did not know how to answer the question.

    Renault''s eyes flashed a trace of confusion. If he could not find Elon, the island farming plan would be full of twists and turns.

    What to do next?

    Keep going out to sea to find a suitable island?

    But in the vast sea, how long does it take to find it?

    Three years? Five years?

    Will the orcs leave him so much time?

    When Xinghai continent in the south is also occupied by the black Orc army, even if he finds a suitable island and establishes an ideal industrial system, can he deal with the black orcs spreading over two continents?

    So, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Renault does not want to give up.

    Is Elon really dead?

    Not necessarily!

    All the towns in this area know the news that the black Orc army is coming. Elon is not an ignorant civilian and will not die in the town. He may escape from Shancao town and hide in a hidden area nearby.

    If Renault hesitates, Elon will surely die.

    If he can kill the black orcs, Elon may have a chance to live.

    According to the information provided by Goodall, the population of the town is no more than 2000, and the black orcs can only send out a few hundred people at most. He can kill all the black orcs by one person.

    Even if the other side has the extraordinary, with the air superiority, the extraordinary can''t stop him.

    Think of here, Renault left a "you wait here", then rushed into the grass.

    Renault is going to go it alone.

    After gaining Rune [wind] and becoming "air force", his mobility has broken through the sky.

    Even Muse couldn''t keep up with his fighting rhythm, so he rushed out alone.

    However, it''s far away from the town, and long-distance flight consumes magic power and mental power. He plans to go to the river not far away, then go down the river, get close to Shancao Town, and then start flying.

    Renault''s speed is amazing, every step, enough to cross more than 5 meters.

    Every time he takes a leg step, he uses mindfulness to lift himself up, counteract part of the influence of gravity, and apply a push on his back.

    This makes his running posture closer to "jumping" and looks like running in low gravity.

    One of the great advantages of this way of running is the perfect combination of "mindfulness" and running. You only need to input mental energy at the moment of walking, and you don''t need continuous input. The mental energy consumption is reduced by at least half, and the physical energy consumption is also greatly reduced.

    His body turned into a gust of wind, and his running speed easily exceeded 25ms.

    At this moment, Renault is bolt.

    Only two minutes later, Renault ran to the river to prepare for the second stage of the "alien Triathlon" - swimming.

    No, it''s surfing.

    Before surfing, he needs a surfboard.

    This is very simple. He can roll a piece on the spot.

    Renault looked around and fixed his eyes on a shrub more than 4 meters high. The branches and leaves of the shrub looked very much like juniper, but the trunk was similar to baobab. It was short and thick, with a diameter of almost 1.5 meters. It was the right material for making surfboards.

    When his mind moved, a large number of branches and leaves were broken and thrown aside, gradually exposing the trunk. Then he pressed his right hand close to the trunk. The rune array of reverse heat conduction flashed golden light, and the surface of the trunk was coking and blackening at the speed visible to the naked eye.At the next moment, the flames are in full bloom.

    Miraculously, except for the local fire, everything else remained the same, and even the color of the surface did not change.

    He''s going to burn a surfboard.

    For Renault, cutting down trees and sawing wood are too harsh, cumbersome and inefficient. Only buns can do this. With the powerful control of the high-precision machine tool, Renault can burn wood into any shape.

    Ten seconds later, a black surfboard with a length of more than 1.7 meters, a width of about 0.6 cm and a thickness of 10 cm was formed.

    The surfboard is curved, narrow at the front and rear ends, and slightly tilted up. There is a tail fin at the back and bottom to ensure the stability of surfing. The lower surface is very smooth, while the upper surface is rough and uneven to enhance the friction.

    Renault knocked on the surfboard with satisfaction and flew to the river with the board.
