Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 217 Before I leave, I'll give you a gift!



Chapter 217 Before I leave, I'll give you a gift!

"They really are orcs, and they are our comrades. Don't lay a hand on them!"

Among the hundreds of beastmen, a bull-headed beastman, as strong as an ox and over two and a half meters tall, slowly approached Wu Weier and the others. He sniffed at the dozen or so of them and signaled the beastmen to stop.

Many mutants among humans also possess orcish characteristics, such as long bull horns or rabbit ears...

These mutants are fundamentally different from orcs.

The only way to tell them apart is that orcs have a different aura than humans.

Upon hearing that they were of the same kind, the beastmen immediately stopped.

"Thank you so much for saving our lives! We are extremely grateful!" Seeing the beastmen put down their weapons, Wu Weier and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed in gratitude.

If it weren't for the timely intervention of these orcs, they might all have perished here!

"You are the first generation of orcs? And there's a group of second generation orcs?"

The minotaur looked down at Wu Weier and the others, his eyes lighting up, and said in a deep, booming voice.

Then, looking at the two-meter-tall red-haired horned beastman in the crowd, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he grinned, "You're also a minotaur, and a first-generation one at that. Interested in becoming my wife? Moo~"

As the minotaur spoke, he roared to the sky and pounded his chest with his fists.

This was to demonstrate his terrifying seventh-tier strength.

Upon seeing this, the orcs laughed and bowed slightly to show their submission and respect.

Wu Weier, Xiao Ling'er, and the other beastmen looked at the red-haired, horned beastwoman.

Er Ya stared wide-eyed at the minotaur, her face filled with disbelief.

I just... got confessed to by a minotaur?

"You're too ugly, I refuse!" Er Ya said bluntly, hands on her hips, glaring at the minotaur.

"You dare refuse our boss?" Upon hearing this, the group of orcs immediately bared their teeth.

"Moo~ I am Niu Dali, the tallest and most handsome minotaur in the bull tribe! How dare you say I'm ugly?"

The minotaur glared at the red-haired beastwoman, his bull-like eyes fixed intently on her.

He exuded a terrifying aura, which made Wu Weier and the others tremble with fear.

However, seeing that Er Ya was not to be outdone, the minotaur suddenly grinned and laughed:

"Haha... You really are from our Bull Clan! You're so stubborn! I like you even more now!"

"Hahaha..."

The other orcs stopped trying to scare Wu Weier and the others, and burst into laughter.

Orcs are used to being straightforward.

If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Although Erya was weak, she was the first to dare to confront their leader head-on.

That was indeed a bit reckless.

But... that's just how orcs are.

No fear of heaven or earth!

"Whoo~"

Seeing this, Wu Weier patted her flat chest.

She was really scared just now.

They thought the minotaurs wanted to kill them.

Now it seems...

The information she gathered was true.

The City of Beasts hates humans to the core, but treats orcs as fellow citizens and is very friendly.

"This... is perhaps the place where we orcs truly belong!"

"Si Xi, the Seven Killers of June, if you've seen my signal, come find us here!"

……

Dragon City, the inner city, ever since the teaching building opened.

There are always a lot of people coming to learn every day.

Chenlong, Tienan, and a group of rough-and-tumble guys treat every class like a battle.

To be precise, they would rather go to the battlefield to kill the enemy than come here to listen to lectures and learn.

Because... just as those women said, they recognized the words, but they couldn't read!

Fortunately, the hundred or so people that Xiao Yu selected made rapid progress.

Especially those dozen or so people, starting from the third day, began to learn how to do things from Xiaoyu and Yingzi.

Soon, things will become easier for Honglian, and all departments will operate smoothly.

However, almost all of these people were teenagers.

Before, no one taught them, but now they have plenty to eat and drink in Dragon City.

Xiao Yu didn't ask them to do too much work.

Especially those under the age of ten, they don't need to work at all; the city lord's mansion will take care of them.

They were made to spend their days specifically learning to recognize characters.

After all... a strong youth makes a strong nation!

However... literacy education is only the first step in recognizing characters.

In the past, compulsory education in China lasted for nine years!

It would be impossible to truly eradicate illiteracy in Longcheng in less than three to five years.

in addition...

With the Fire Qilin refining iron day and night, the forging area has been working very efficiently these past two days.

In just two days, almost all the equipment needed by the special forces team was made.

There are also new weapons, such as the incredibly powerful Tier 3-4 crossbows, dozens of which have been crafted.

Before the soldiers used the crossbows, they were somewhat confused about what they were doing.

Until... everyone experienced it for themselves, and everyone was shocked.

That power was truly... astonishing.

Most of them are not very talented at archery.

If you can reach the basic level of archery in this lifetime, that's basically the limit.

But now... after learning to use a crossbow, he can barely shoot at the level of a beginner archer.

Its accuracy and power have been greatly improved, equivalent to an increase of two or three times.

"Hahaha... I can't wait any longer, I want to start live-fire training! I'll kill every one of those beasts that comes my way!" A soldier played with his crossbow, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Wielding such a powerful weapon, one can absolutely crush ferocious beasts of the same level.

Even defeating monsters of higher levels is not a dream!

Meanwhile, in the inner city, inside the city lord's mansion.

"Lord City Lord, the little herbalist's poisons have also been mass-produced!" A maid came out of the alchemy room carrying a ceramic jar the size of a human head.

Upon opening it, one finds a ceramic jar filled with a bright green liquid, still emitting green smoke.

"According to the little herbalist, as long as the skin is broken, it can easily incapacitate a fourth or fifth-level expert!"

"Very good! Send the potion to Chenlong and have them apply it to the arrows and weapons..." Xiao Yu was very satisfied after personally experiencing the effects of the poison.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Although the little grass is usually barely noticeable, its presence is like having a treasure!

The Dragon City warriors, armed with powerful crossbows, already possessed combat strength that increased several times over.

If poison were applied to swords and arrows, their power would be so great that even ferocious beasts would weep!

"Brother!" At this moment, Honglian walked in from the gate of the city lord's mansion with several girls.

Since the City Lord's Mansion got a little maid named Xiao Zhuo, and started literacy education in Dragon City, they have selected more than a dozen teenagers and given them intensive training. Now these people can recognize most of the characters and have also learned simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Now, some less important tasks are left to these teenagers.

Once these people get the hang of things, they will become the core management team of Dragon City.

Honglian was no longer as busy as a spinning top, constantly dizzy and disoriented as before.

“Xue Donglai has already checked out. He just told me…” Honglian came in, shrugged, and smiled with a strange expression, “He said he wanted to give you a gift before he left.”
