Journey to Miracle City

In the desolate Northlands wilderness, two magnificent horses galloped across the vast plains like lightning, their hooves echoing through the sky.

This time, Chen Changhe only took Julia with him when he went to Miracle City. They rode alone on horseback across the wilderness.

This desolate wilderness stretched as far as the eye could see, where wild grasses, corroded by the Corruption Mists and transformed into tentacle-like shapes, swayed in the wind, constantly tugging at the hooves of the horses.

When they were first bought from Miracle City, these horses were of mediocre quality.

Some of them were even old, weak warhorses that were about to be scrapped.

That's how it is in the Northlands; all kinds of supplies are in short supply, especially important military supplies like horses.

It's not something you can buy simply with gold coins.

However, after being domesticated in Blackwater Fief for a period of time, their nutrition improved, and with the help of the Waaagh Power.

These horses and animals are not considered citizens of Blackwater Fief, but having lived in an environment rich in Waaagh Power for a long time, they have still experienced some improvements.

While not as dramatic as those who underwent a complete transformation, their average size had increased by one size, and their strength and endurance had also improved.

When they were bought, these horses were only considered inferior, the kind used for pulling millstones and doing farm work.

But now every one of these horses is a top-quality warhorse, with strong vitality, and has recovered to its best condition.

The two horses Chen Changhe chose this time were the best-looking of all the horses.

These two horses were large, standing over two meters tall.

His muscles were clearly defined, making him look strong and imposing, like a warrior on the battlefield.

When it runs, it is as fast as the wind, like a mighty Lion.

Julia changed out of her usual attire and chose to wear a set of women's armor.

The armor gleamed with a metallic sheen, its delicate plates clinging tightly to her body, outlining her graceful curves and exuding a unique sensuality.

This armor is the latest creation from the territory's blacksmith shop, forged using the finest steel newly smelted in the territory.

Chen Changhe had not expected that among the group of slave craftsmen he had brought from his family, some of them would actually possess the skills to smelt iron and steel.

Under such technological conditions, a blacksmith who can smelt steel is simply a master craftsman.

I have no idea what was wrong with the baron who enslaved him, that he could do something so stupid.

This behavior is simply selling diamonds like charcoal.

However, Chen Changhe was still very grateful to that baron.

This is exactly like a benevolent child.

Not only Julia was wearing armor, but Chen Changhe was too.

He was also wearing a set of fine steel armor.

It's just a men's style.

His physical condition is now comparable to that of First-Tier Battle-Qi Knight, and wearing armor weighing over a hundred pounds is no longer a burden.

Julia and he both carried longswords made of fine steel.

It was also a product of the blacksmith's shop.

This time, his trip to Miracle City was not only to meet Tulip Count, but also to find a market for the swords and armor in his territory.

While Ork Miracle Perfume and high-end wines are profitable, they are not as stable as the arms and equipment trade.

This is the Northlands, where superior weaponry is the highest form of currency.

Perhaps he could use these weapons and equipment to force other lords to hand over their people and migrate to Blackwater Fief.

Not all pioneering lords are capable of supporting the people on their territories.

For the vast majority of lords, these subjects often meant a burden.

In addition to consuming food and drinking water, it also requires the consumption of Corruption Godstone.

But you can't just kill them arbitrarily.

Otherwise, these corpses, corroded by the Corruption Mists, would turn into rotting corpses, putting even greater pressure on the territory's defenses.

Every year, many nobles enter the Northlands with great enthusiasm to expand their territories, but just as many nobles become disheartened and abandon their territories to return to the Imperium's homeland.

The most important factor was that they couldn't afford the daily expenses of the people in their territory.

Within the Imperium, surplus subjects could be expelled from the territory and left to fend for themselves.

Anyway, the people are like leeks, once you harvest one crop, another will grow.

As a lord, if you don't spend your days harassing your people and committing heinous crimes, you're already considered a good person.

There's absolutely no need to care whether they live or die.

But it's different here.

Once the people die, their bodies must be burned to ashes as soon as possible.

We must never be exposed to the Corruption Mists.

Otherwise, it will become a new Corrupted Creatures.

That's precisely because we've taken that into account.

The pioneering lords had to find ways to ensure the survival of their people.

As a result, many people have accumulated significant debt.

Most lords would be willing to exchange these burdens for superior weapons and equipment.

Of course, Chen Changhe wouldn't conduct this kind of business openly.

He would only mention it briefly when interacting with these people in his daily life.

The remaining details will be handled by Ma Dexiang.

This kind of simple exchange does not require Miracle City as an intermediary.

Even if Tulip Count wanted to investigate, he couldn't get a precise number.

It's relatively safer.

Julia, riding her horse, looked heroic and valiant, exuding the air of a female general, completely different from her usual self.

The wind ruffled her hair, and her armor gleamed.

The armor has a raised curve at the chest, perfectly modeled after Julia's figure.

From a purely visual perspective, it's so impressive that you can't help but nod in respect.

This women's armor set is quite revealing overall.

Its arousal function is even greater than its defensive function.

However, Julia didn't care about that.

Despite Julia being God's Chosen skilled in summoning, her actual combat strength is not weak.

The moment she became God's Chosen, her mind was instilled with a multitude of combat techniques.

These combat techniques were bestowed by the Ork God, and are the fighting methods honed and refined by the Orks through countless trials.

As God's Chosen, Julia also has the status of a subject, Orkification Lord Talent still affects her.

Moreover, as a special citizen, the boost from Orkification was much greater for her than for ordinary citizens.

"This girl is practically a human monster..."

Chen Changhe once saw Julia, who demolished half a mountain with her bare hands.

Even without using combat-related divine skills, Julia's combat power surpasses that of many God's Chosen of the fourth rank or higher.

This time, when Chen Changhe went to Miracle City, he planned to have Julia disguise herself as a Fourth-Tier God's Chosen with a series of passive divine skills.

Orks are not suited to appearing in front of others frequently, so giving Julia a disguise would be beneficial to Chen Changhe's future development plans.

"What's even more remarkable is that, despite possessing such immense power, Julia's body remained completely undeformed."

"Extremely soft and incredibly bouncy..."

No one knows better than Chen Changhe just how good Julia is.
