Chapter 283 A Floating City?
The orc king turned his head and looked towards the voice to see the elf prince standing there, staring at him mockingly and frowning. But after thinking for a moment, the orc king\'s lips curled up as he said: "Elf prince, I know where your sister is."
"Oh?" The elf prince was none other than the elven crown prince and Noa\'s brother, Prince Teleth! "Tell me, where is this sister of mine?"
"Humph! Do you think I will just tell you?" The orc king grinned as he stood up and dusted himself off. "I want fifty women, and I will tell you. But they need to be able to get pregnant easily!"
"Orc king, you may be powerful, but you are in elven territory. It is easy for me to kill you. It\'s not like your orc clan will go extinct if one orc king is killed. After all, there are many of you." Prince Teleth crossed his arms in front of his chest and lifted his chin high.
"Hahahaha! You fool! Do you know that your sister has joined a place that can easily destroy your ambitions!? Who doesn\'t know that you want your sister who is heavily favored by the people, to die as soon as possible since she is an obstacle in your path to the throne? Let me tell you now, little prince. You will never be able to live peacefully as you are now. I am only asking for fifty girls. I mean, do you think I wanted to suddenly drop out of nowhere and end up here?" The orc king snorted, causing Prince Teleth to raise an eyebrow.
Prince Teleth only now realized the orc king did suddenly appear and wondered why this was. "Fine, fifty girls is nothing. But you must tell me everything."
The orc king grinned as he let out a laugh. "Hahahaha! That bastard will wish he was never alive when I eat his flesh while he is still alive!"
The orc king figured with these fifty girls, he could start rebuilding his clan. Once the first batch of orcs was born and old enough, he could send them out to find more females. As long as they had many females, the quicker he could regain a massive army!
Prince Teleth heard the entire story from the orc king, and his brow furrowed even more. He himself could not send a massive army out to deal with the situation, but from the sounds of it, he would need to wait before he could do anything to this sister of his. But at least now he understood that his sister was still alive and backed by many powerful people. Even one who could cause an orc king to run! He also understood where that damn bitch of a dragonic went to! She had been subdued!

"Ahh that was some scary shit! Brother, what the fuck did you transform into!? Was that your…." Bret paused and grinned widely as he yelled out: "Demon Lord form!? Ahahaha! Demon Lord!"
"Bret fuck you!" Blake was blushing, he said it on a whim, and now he will never be able to live it down!
"It\'s okay, brother, I will not judge you even if you are a…. Demon Lord! Pfftt! Ahahahah!" Bret couldn\'t stop laughing. Rin was turned away from him as she drank her ale, not daring to look at the big oaf!
"Enough, Bret! Leave the Demon Lord alone!" Mike joined in. He found this all very amusing!
"Alright! Fuck! Laugh it up!" Blake\'s expression was gloomy. He downed his ale and stood up. "At any rate, we found out we have major issues in how we deal with things. Overwhelming numbers can overrun anyone if they are not killed quickly enough."
"Yes, I agree!" Mike stopped laughing and answered seriously. "We might not have lost anyone today, but we could have. We could have lost many people. If You did not destroy half their force with a few magic attacks, we could have been wiped out completely. I now know that even with modern weapons, if the enemy is crazy and not afraid of death, they will charge through without care just to try to kill you. This is not something I wish to see, so we need countermeasures…."
"Lord, I know this might sound crazy but hear me out," Thardra spoke up. He put his mug on the table and looked Blake dead in the eye. "We elder dwarves, at one point, wanted to create a moving city. But our ability and understanding of how to make such a city were too limited at the time, and we scrapped the idea. But I think with the knowledge of the new age humans and our understanding of magic and runic inscriptions, we can actually create such a thing this time."
"Oh? You old men really thought of something like that?" Lillia asked. "If we did make it so that Destiny City was mobile, we could easily move around and not stick out too much. It would truly become a free city. But the time and research we will need to do to make such a city is another story."
"I actually want to go beyond the old design, which would have been a walking city since such a thing would make it vulnerable to attacks, and actually make a floating city that can soar through the air. We would just need to keep an eye out for the massive monsters that we could meet in such a place. Other flying monsters would not be too much of an issue." Thardra explained.
"I see. A floating city, huh?" Blake fell into thought and felt this might actually work. It would keep the ground battles from threatening the city. They could even set designated areas as landing points as well….. " I do not see a reason not to do this, but we will first need to begin rearing our own monsters for meat. Preferably dragons, as they are the best way for the young to grow strong quickly."
"It would allow our people to live safely while we deal with other issues on the ground. And the structure for such a city is basically set as long as we create the device that will allow it to float and put a barrier around it."
