Chapter 1016.2 - The City of Behemoth, Ending of the Battle at Sea (Part Two)Chapter 1016: The City of Behemoth, Ending of the Battle at Sea (Part Two)
Further away, a majestic and giant clay city appeared; it seemed like a giant mountain was dug open and modified into this city. This city stretched to the horizon, and many fortresses made of clay and palaces made from wood and bricks situated inside the city. Flags could be vaguely seen fluttering in the air, and various flight mounts flew in the low sky. Thousands of giant totem poles stood all around, emitting mystical energy that engulfed the entire city.
Finally, some greeneries could be seen here.
Peaceful rivers slowly flowed through the city, and they merged into the sapphirine-like lake in the center of the city. The aura of water brought liveliness to the city.
This was the [City of Behemoth].

The giant swan landed about 30 kilometers away from the giant city.
After flying for about 15 hours, everyone in the group finally stepped on land again.
A team of porcupine riders of the Pig Clan was already waiting here.
The porcupine mounts were a bit larger than the horses, and black fur grew on their backs. They looked vicious, and sharp spikes grew out of their bodies and limbs. The spikes were covered by a layer of sand gravel, making them look tough and hard. The riders on these porcupines were all pig-men who had pig heads and human bodies, and they were muscular and more than two meters tall. Also, their strength wasn’t low; they were all at low-tier Moon-Class and had impressive auras.
Pig Clan Chief Altis grabbed some green plants from a pig-man and fed the giant swan. Then, he patted Leona’s head intimately and let other pig men take care of her.
The porcupine riders of the Pig Clan were surprised that humans came back with orc masters such as Great Priest Nash, and they stared at Fei and others curiously with caution, looking as if they were seeing pandas for the first time in a zoo.
The orcs hadn’t seen humans for 1,000 years; their curiosity toward humans wasn’t less compared to the other way around.
The land was dry, and it cracked like a dried riverbed. Dust was everywhere, and the air was dry.
This was about 30 kilometers away from the [City of Behemoth], and it was a relatively open desert.
Looking around, all sorts of low structures were built in the area. Most of them were ragged tents, underground caves, and semi-underground houses built with rocks and bricks, looking old and worn-out.
Clear differences could be seen between clans. There were clay fortresses that were more than ten meters tall, protecting these structures inside. Sharp rocks and wooden spikes that were pointing forward at the 45-degree angle were around the fortresses, and their roots were buried underground. Looking from afar, the fortresses all looked like hedgehogs with their spikes pointing outward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe clay fortresses were about 1,000 meters apart, and many of them existed on the vast desert. They could reinforce each other quickly, and the clay fortresses were built all the way into the black and grey mountains.
Orcs with strange appearances were covered in dust as they were busy working between the clay fortresses. While dust flew, many tamed beasts that were in various forms roared and made noises non-stop.
These clay fortresses were the key to orcs’ survival since they blocked out the danger.
According to Great Priest Nash’s introduction, most of the clans living outside the [City of Behemoth] were low-level and middle-level clans. Comparatively, the living condition here was good, and it was relatively safe.
Fei’s eyes were opened. action
The king felt like he came to a loess plateau from millions of years ago, seeing how unevolved humans living the primitive lifestyle.
Altis whispered something into a pig-man beside him, and several pig-men came over with more than 20 mounts. Except for porcupines, there were many other types of beasts.
Fei chose a mount that looked like a velociraptor dinosaur, and he rode with Valkyrie Elena. Little Raccoon simply stood on his shoulder.
Then, the group dashed toward the [City of Behemoth].
Other Chambordians all shouted as they rode these mounts; it was their first time, and they found it interesting.
