Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

In the early morning, the sun slowly rose from the distant horizon, bringing a touch of warmth and light to the earth. A neat and silent team was slowly marching towards the Orcish Imperial City.

The troops wore silver-grey armor, sharp swords dangling from their waists. Their faces were serious, their eyes revealing a sense of majesty and determination. These warriors were rigorously trained elites, and their presence felt like an invisible pressure.

In the middle of the procession were seven carriages, each pulled by four horses.

The procession numbered approximately two hundred people, all dressed in uniform, marching in unison. As the procession approached, the guards at the imperial city gates stepped forward to stop them, loudly demanding, "Who are you? What brings you here?"

The leading knight stepped forward and shouted, "We are from the Sea Tribe, here to participate in the academy's tournament." He then pulled out a deep blue token from his bosom, engraved with a lifelike golden-haired mermaid totem. He continued, "This is the token of our Sea Tribe's eldest prince. Please let us pass."

The soldier guarding the city looked at the token with some doubt, but still reached out to take it and examine it carefully. After a moment, he said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I need to report to the commander." With that, he turned and left.

The city guard quickly ran up to the commander, first handing over the token he had accepted, and then said, "Commander, the people from the Sea Clan who are here to participate in the academy's martial arts competition have arrived. They said the token belongs to the Sea Clan's eldest prince."

The city commander took the token, glanced at it, and then said to the city guard, "Go and inform Prime Minister Bai that the Sea Clan's delegation to the Academy Martial Arts Competition has arrived. They are led by the Sea Clan's eldest prince."

"Yes, sir." The city guard responded, then turned and left, quickly conveying the message to Prime Minister Bai.

The city guard officer, carrying the token, quickly walked to the front of the team. He first returned the token to the sea clan general and then said, "I am Xiong Xinglin, captain of the Imperial City Guard. Please forgive me, we need to conduct a routine inspection of the carriage."

As soon as Xiong Xinglin finished speaking, the sea tribe general waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to make way, and said politely: "Captain Xiong, please." Then, he personally walked to the front carriage and gently opened the door.

Xiong Xinglin's sharp eyes spotted three distinguished men sitting inside the car. He nodded slightly and said politely, "Excuse me, routine inspection."

Then, as per custom, Xiong Xinglin led the soldiers in a routine inspection of the remaining six carriages. Two had four people in them, two had three people in them, one had five people in it, and one had two people in it. After inspecting each carriage, Xiong Xinglin would say, "Excuse me, routine inspection."

The Sea Clan general stood quietly by, watching Xiong Xinglin and the others' actions without a trace of dissatisfaction or nervousness. He seemed accustomed to such inspections and simply waited calmly for them to end.

After Xiong Xinglin finished inspecting the last carriage, he turned around and said to the sea clan general, "Thank you for your cooperation. Everything is normal and you can pass." After that, he waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to let them pass.

The sea general nodded, then remounted his horse and directed the convoy to continue its journey. Throughout the entire process, both sides remained calm and restrained, and no conflicts or unpleasant incidents occurred.

Xiong Xinglin watched the fleet departing, feeling somewhat uneasy, as if someone was watching him. He watched for a moment, seeing nothing... and then turned back to the city gate to continue his mission.

However, what he didn't notice was that behind the window of the last carriage, a pair of eyes were silently watching him...

"Your Highness, this man is worthy of being a general of the Orcs." said the middle-aged man sitting in the last carriage.

"Master, are you sure he's... the rumored Xiong Xinglin?" asked another young man, his ears bearing the hallmarks of a mermaid royal. He should be Hai Lanyue, the eldest prince of the Sea Clan, and the other should be Hai Yuan, the High Priest of the Sea Clan.

Upon entering the Imperial City, the Sea Clan participants participating in the Academy Martial Arts Tournament were greeted by an envoy sent by Prime Minister Bai, who led them to a residence reserved for the Sea Clan. This residence, located near the tournament venue, boasts a tranquil setting, shaded by lush trees and refreshing air. It is a magnificent mansion with a unique architectural style imbued with marine elements, creating a sense of being transported to an underwater world.

The sea tribe members were accommodated in spacious, bright rooms, each warmly and comfortably furnished with complete furniture and soft beds. Outside the windows lay a tranquil courtyard, filled with a variety of exotic flowers and plants, emitting bursts of fragrance. In the center of the courtyard, a crystal-clear pool, filled with colorful fish, added vitality and vibrancy to the entire environment.

In addition, Prime Minister Bai also specially arranged a rich meal to entertain the people of the Sea Tribe. These foods were carefully selected, including both seafood delicacies and land delicacies, allowing the people of the Sea Tribe to taste different flavors.

The sea people were very satisfied with this arrangement. They rested and recuperated here, preparing for the upcoming academy competition.

After the sea tribe members passed by them, the orcs stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction where the team left.

"Wow! These sea creatures are so beautiful!" an orc couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He stared at the sea creatures with admiration in his eyes.

Another orc took a deep breath and sighed, "They smell nice too." A cool breath. He was an orc who loved water.

Lin Ziyu also saw that there were more people from the Sea Clan than those who came to participate in the Alchemist Competition. Their aura was the same, with the smell of the ocean.

He just went out for a walk, and when he woke up in the morning, Long Yan had already left. He heard from Mao Rongtuanzi, "Long Yan received word that the Sea Clan and Human Clan participants in the Academy Martial Arts Competition will arrive today. He has to go get busy."

Lin Ziyu was very curious about the appearance of the sea tribe members, so he decided to go out and see them with Mao Rongtuanzi. When he saw the sea tribe members, he couldn't help but marvel at their beauty and uniqueness. He found that their ears were of different shapes, and he could use these characteristics to identify the species of fish they belonged to.

"Fluffy Dumpling, do you think all the sea people are fish? Are there other types?" Lin Ziyu asked curiously, stroking the fluffy Dumpling in his arms.

The fluffy ball replied, "Of course not. There are many other kinds of sea people! For example, sea snakes, sea turtles, shrimps, crabs, etc."

Hearing this, Lin Ziyu's eyes sparkled with excitement. Imagining the person with a turtle shell and the person with shrimp claws and crab claws, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, a neat team walked over. Lin Ziyu saw Lin Cheng and Lin Ziyue among them. He thought to himself: Father is here too.

"Fluffy Balloon, let's go back. I saw my father." Lin Ziyu said as he turned around and walked towards his residence while holding the fluffy ball.
