Chapter 414 Witness

"Ah," Meravia said to Yun Shen, "you also want the north, right? This country."

"It should be unified." Yun Shen said softly.

"You never think that war is the only way to solve the problem, but it is always inevitable." Meravia said, "Just like the previous few inevitable, this one is also going to happen. Although you are very gentle Yes, but no matter how deeply poisoned the prey is, it will struggle—of course it’s useless. But the beast king is dying.”

Yun Shen looked at him.

"Last time—do you remember the last time?" Meravia said, "you put those shamans back, and they were terrified, and the nobles among the orcs were terrified too, but they couldn't think about it for a while. They decided to hold a ceremony. With this ceremony, they created a 'God of War'."

Of course Yun Shen knew about this information.

Melavia is lying on the sofa, with an open book on his chest, and a thick pillow hugs this young man whose hair is full of dreams. His tone is soft and lazy, and he is indifferent to Yunshen Said: "Of course, this is useless. We know that they have never been able to find a chance to start a war again. I heard that they are still fighting fiercely. However, 'living weapons' must be raised with flesh and blood, and only killing can make them grow." It survives. But even if it is fed with living people steadily like this, its lifespan is very limited."

He looked at Yun Shen from above the book, those beautiful eyes looked gentle and affectionate, he smiled and said, "It's going to break."

Although there is no direct evidence to support Meravia's prophecy, even without the support of side information such as "Lacerda's army is frequently mobilized", "the orc elders are conspiring together", "the imperial capital is short of food, and people are disturbed", it is still possible Few doubted what he said.As an anomalous creature, Meravia has established his personal influence on the alliance through work such as helping the meteorological department to build climate models, and it is very strange to perfectly combine with his usual image of doing nothing.

Since Meravia's perception is very credible, this may explain why the orc royal court suddenly sent troops to the tribal alliance. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the messenger team saw many chaos along the way. And he became extremely mentally unstable, and neither the person who decided the ceremony nor the person who performed the ceremony had any effective means to control him. The Beastmaster was sometimes sober and sometimes not sober, and became more and more violent and powerful. The portraits around him Sitting on a blood-soaked seesaw, luring the beast to his side with countless lives and sweet promises.

They promised him to kill all the traitors and all humans in the Orc Empire.

But no one who promised the Beastmaster could give him a free battlefield. They couldn't even give him many humans with the mark of the alliance, and even few orcs belonged to the alliance. The front-line fortress is obviously an open commercial city, but the defensive force is too strong. After the city of Az was broken, they spent a long time clearing the vast field between the alliance and the northern royal court. They are conducting the so-called "exercise "On this piece of land, an uninhabited firebreak has been formed.The huge wilderness surrounds a prosperous trade route, and anyone who does not get the trade seal of Kanlar City will be driven out or even killed by werewolf patrols.

Even if there were hardly any orcs who didn't know that the court of the north and the alliance of monsters in the north could not coexist, and one day it would be life and death, the city of Kanlar still attracted people across the wilderness like a vortex.

There are not many luxuries in this city that can please the orc nobles, but there are many salt, sugar, grain, steel and medicine needed by the tribes. Under the instructions of the legendary black-haired human, the city passed restrictions on alliance industrial products The price method limits the prices of other commodities, creating a huge gravitational force unmatched elsewhere: nowhere can the tribe’s livestock, furs, herbs, dried fruits and scattered minerals be purchased like Kanlar, and there is no Any place that can provide so many necessities at such low prices as here, even if the human world they once thought to be very rich, is like a desert to an oasis compared with the monster of the Industrial Federation.And after the newspapers and radios spread, the orcs also knew the prices in the human world, and it was not an illusion that they thought they were getting cheap from the alliance.

But not all northern tribes can get free trade places in Kanlar.The limited trading license led to the tribal alliance, and directly led to the conflict between the tribal alliance and the orc royal court.

Although some people pointed out that the internal strife in the north was caused by the unequal treatment of the industrial alliance, it was a conspiracy on the surface, but why should the industrial alliance treat its enemies fairly?After knowing this conspiracy, who can punish this monster that is getting bigger and bigger every day?Under the persecution of this monster, the orcs in the north have already lost a lot of things involuntarily. Should they abandon their last dignity and beg for the acceptance of human beings?

It's better to let them die vigorously!

The emissary team heading to Lacerda might have become a victim of a chaotic and unplanned war. Even if they had many spells blessed by elves, there were some forces in Lacerda that could not be ignored. Crazy tide, but once they set foot in that palace, there's no guarantee how they'll end up—

It should be so.

The envoys removed all visible weapons before the audience, but at the critical moment of life and death, the first to be used were not the close-fitting guns and crossbow bolts concealed by the concealment spell under the wide coat, but sealed in the glass round tube in a drop of blood.

The perfect, bright ruby ​​suspended in the transparent container is the blood of the magician.

"It's a compound spell with several blessing effects. In addition to making people powerful and bloodthirsty, it will also absorb the life of the people he kills to feed back to itself, which means that the more he kills, the stronger he will be, no matter who he is Did he kill the enemy or his own companion." Wells said to the team, "According to the information we got, the appearance of this beast king has been deformed, and his current body shape is roughly like this." She showed a picture , "No matter whether the tissue strength of these growths is high or low, they are an effective defense method. It is very likely that the ammunition will not have a good effect on him for a while, unless we use high-power explosive bombs from the beginning. But then It will make it more difficult.”

Then she handed the captain a small box padded with rich fur.

"Before you shoot, or when you shoot, throw this as close to him as possible," she said.

The captain took the box and asked, "What is this?"

She looked into his eyes and said softly, "Blood."

The captain was startled, but then he thought of something and showed a shocked expression.

"Using it will definitely produce some effect, but we don't know what effect it will be." Wells said, "The Beastmaster accepts a compound spell that has been handed down from the crack era. Only Xiu Moore knows the conditions and conditions of this set of spells." effect, but he had not seen it purified or reversed in that era, and the consequences of using it were unpredictable. Meravia did some processing on this drop of blood, saying that it would kill the blood on the spot at worst Beastmaster, you need to prepare for the worst."

No one asked if this trip was still necessary, winter will come soon, the impact of this civil strife can be seen through the trade situation in Kanlar, the industrial alliance is like an insurmountable high wall, blocking all southward looting There is no way to make up for the consumption of the war, and the life of these tribes will be more difficult this year.Regardless of whether the Orc King's Court goes to extremes to create even greater chaos, or a snowstorm hits the north—and this is very likely to happen, it will be a catastrophe for the orcs outside the Living Industry Alliance, considering the impact of information dissemination , it is not impossible to form the flood of disaster victims that Xinmaxi City has encountered.

Nobody wants to replicate that scene.

Warlock's blood yielded almost the best results.In a way that is difficult to understand with common sense, this drop of blood reset the numerous spells on the Beastmaster, melted those growths that had distorted his appearance and spirit into mud, and restored his true appearance as a person, and All the while retaining his sanity and memory throughout the process.The great shaman who witnessed the whole process was shocked beyond words, and the orc nobles who had experienced more than him were also terrified of this almost miraculous power. No matter how strongly the queen asked to deal with these envoys, only a few people Support her with a non-resolute attitude.

The beast king who regained his sanity only rested for a day, and then had an interview with the emissary again. Although the number of beastmen who could participate in this meeting was much smaller, and even the queen was excluded, it did not cause much disturbance in the palace. Obviously, this team of emissaries from the Alliance created a new balance.After this private contact ended, anyone could feel the change in the atmosphere of the entire palace. The Beastmaster's contact with this emissary produced a result that was probably the least bad.

Soon, what happened in the palace spread to Lacerda through various channels, and caused a series of reactions.But none of this has much to do with the returning emissary team.

Before leaving Lacerda, the captain of the messenger team offered an invitation to the Beastmaster.The gloomy Beastmaster did not make a clear statement about the invitation, but before the exercise began, he left Lacerda with a team of various people, all the way south, through the murderous tribal alliance , entered this man-made no-man's zone.

As a party that had every reason to be an enemy of the Alliance, no one in the Beastmaster's team misunderstood the purpose of this exercise.Strength is the greatest truth, and the Alliance has no reason to wage war, but it has enough reasons to intimidate its opponents.Although some people in this team pessimistically think that Wang Ting may not be an opponent of the alliance now, but apart from lamenting in their own small circle, they dare not spread such morale-damaging emotions among the team.

What's more, the Beastmaster still retains more than half of his power at the time of the deepest alienation, which is still unmatched by ordinary people, and is still violent.

The team holds a trade license to the Federation of Industries, and even though their looks and equipment don't look like they're trading, the journey is still smoother than expected.Before leaving Lacerda, for many people in this team, the so-called proof of access was a ridiculous thing. The beast king needs permission from others to walk in the kingdom of beastmen?But after leaving the imperial capital, everyone felt the impact of the monster alliance on the entire orc kingdom.

The most profound impact is manifested in... the south of the Beastman Empire has been firmly occupied by this monster, and the north has also been torn apart. When the authority of the Beastmaster has been greatly reduced, no one has publicly stated that he wants to challenge or replace the Beastmaster. position, and restore the original glory of the orcs.It seemed that this once glorious location, the dream of almost every ambitious orc, had become something that was fading and about to crumble, and they gradually realized this through what they saw on the road after leaving the imperial capital.

No matter whether the team members' respect for the Beastmaster was sincere or not, it was unbearable, but the more angry they were about it, the more powerless they felt.After the great defeat a few years ago, the most powerful and intelligent people in the Orc Empire did not unite and gathered the power of the entire empire in the shortest possible time to wipe out the alliance established by the "magician" in the bud, and it has continued to this day. Shame that cannot be washed away.

Regret is useless once these monsters have been given a foothold.

If there is anything that can bring a little bit of comfort, it is probably through things called "newspapers" and "radio", knowing that humans outside the orc kingdom are more contemptuous and greedy than them when encountering these monsters, and make actions after sensing the threat. His reaction is probably a hundred times stupider than theirs.At least in the birthplace of these monsters, the place called "Industrial City", the orcs are comparable to humans in terms of status and population.Although this superiority has almost nothing to do with them in the north, even like the human nobles who were expelled by the "pioneers", they think that this monster alliance took away their land, glory and people, but...

...but to the orcs, the strongest deserved it all.Honor, land and loyalty will belong to the strong.

That sorcerer is so powerful that people like Scar Nightmare willingly obey him and follow his teachings, even though he is a human being... But people know that he is not a human being in this world.He just looks very similar to the humans here on the outside.Only this monster, which is fundamentally different from ordinary people, can establish such an industrial alliance, and all mortal means of confrontation are powerless in the face of it.

Four years ago, this nascent alliance won more with less, and completely wiped out an army of tens of thousands of orcs in less than a day. After the establishment of Kanlar City, they used a cavalry force of less than 300 to prison Hold on to this defense belt.

Now, they want to demonstrate their strength by staging a war.

How strong is the alliance?

They crossed the cordon, found the map, which was plainly indicative of demonstration purposes, and camped near it.Can they see the true power of these monsters here?

The silver fox clan walked behind the silent three people with a wooden box, and said softly: "The time is coming."

He turned the clock face wrapped in rich fur to them, and the slender metal hands were stepping forward with a steady and irresistible approach to the established target.

All the orcs in the camp stood up and looked forward, only the eagle man was still sitting to maintain a stable vision, and at the same time whispered to his companions.

"There was no big movement, the car didn't move, and the people didn't move..." "Ah, someone is waving a flag, it's red, and all the flags are red... The people beside the iron car started to move, and they came from the side What are you moving in the box...?" "No, there are no cavalry, the horses are all left in place, not many... the number? The number is... ah!" Yingman let out a scream, and his eyes burst into tears because of the strong stimulation.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Yingman covered his eyes and said in a hurry: "It's so loud! It's like thunder! Those iron cars are smoking! Something flew up on the ground, very fast! It's very high! The eagle can't catch up!"

"What is flying?"

"Are they big? Where are they flying?"

"I don't know what is flying up! It doesn't seem very big, not as big as an eagle...The direction of the flight is...our side?" The eagle man closed his eyes tightly, and sweat flowed from his hair to his chin, " Well, the iron cart rang again, and this time there was a lot of smoke, but there was no fire... It wasn't a fire, those people were still taking things out of the wooden box, and I could see clearly that it was some metal cylinders, and they were going to put these The short pillars were put into the back door of the iron cart... Maybe the iron cart is like a trebuchet, throwing these iron pillars, but how can they throw them so high and so far...?"

No one could answer his question, and then Hawkman raised his head, his eyes still open, and he followed the direction with his face.

"What sound?" he asked.

In the sound of the waves, the sharp whistling came from far and near, like a sharp knife piercing the sky. This is a sound that has never been heard before, but it can directly lift people's hearts for the first time, like a hoarse voice. Warning, and one after another, all the orcs instinctively grabbed the weapons in their hands and on their bodies, looked around, searched, and the people with the best eyesight could barely distinguish a row of tiny black spots flying from afar , and even before they could be fully connected with what the Eagles had just described, they landed.

First, there were dozens of flashes of fire, and then the heavy hammer of Thunder hit the ground. It seemed that the whole world jumped up in an instant. The terrifying sound was like an anvil hitting the orc's sensitive eardrum , shaking their heads to buzz, the gray smoke and countless earth and rocks exploded and evaporated in the firelight, but what spread faster than the smoke was the shock waves that spread round and round, and the energy that spread rapidly in all directions was like peeling off the skin. Flying all the vegetation around the landing point, the torn branches and grass leaves mixed with mud and stones, the brown wind swept across the ground, and the clear energy ripples were transmitted to the hillside. The orcs in the camp held their heads, or Standing unsteadily, or just lowering the body instinctively, and then fell to the ground by a strong impact from the front, even the beast king with an astonishing weight had to hold on to the tree in the stone beside him, and plunged deep into the soil and rocks The tenacious roots trembled and made a dangerous creaking sound. The princess hugged his arm tightly, unable to even cry out. Amid the cracking of branches and leaves, the prime minister of the fox clan lay down on the ground, covering his head and face with his hands tightly. Squeeze out a curse through clenched teeth.

At this moment, perhaps only he in this team knows what they are facing.

There are not many survivors who survived the battle of Az City, but most of them were excluded and dispatched to places where the orc nobles could not see because they lost their fighting spirit against humans.Although this only further spread the rumors that humans can take down thunder from the sky.Except for the Prime Minister himself, including the Beastmaster, most people in this team have never faced that kind of power. No matter how they think they have taken it seriously enough, this earth-shattering man-made natural disaster will hide everything in their hearts. A little luck was crushed to pieces.

What's more, what happened to Az City that day is nothing compared to today!

As if they felt that they were not desperate enough, there was another roar from the depths of hell in the distance.

The ground was hit hard again and trembled.

Under the clear blue sky with thin clouds floating in it, low thunderclaps came from the sky, as if a torrential rain was happening in the distance, the flock of eagles were frantic, their chaotic flight tracks were all over the battlefield, and the smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the wind , a piece of feather was sent to the observation position by the wind, and one hand caught it.

"Round three," Takla said, clipping the feather into the playbook.

This is not a command, but a description.Beside him, the battlefield staff are either answering the communications from the position and the four outposts, or burying their heads in recording data, or focusing on observing the position. All work is carried out step by step. Not many people care about the panicked eagles, even They know what that is.On the ground, the trainees completed another skilled operation, pushing the cannonball with the length of the forearm into the gun door, and protecting themselves when the barrel was fired. At least for these operators, this exercise has nothing to do with their daily training. Not much different, although they were also shocked with chest tightness and tinnitus, but they knew that there was no real enemy where these weapons fell.

After a week's advance notice and two rounds of site cleanup, even if there were any daring spectators, they should not have entered the shooting range just when they were practicing...they had death quotas.And—there was another casual observer on the exercise battlefield.

The turbulent wind is still sweeping, the colorful autumn leaves of the trees have been blown away with a thick layer of color, the rainstorm of earth and rocks has broken almost all the small branches, even the orc camp has been buried with a thick layer, Several tents collapsed, and the disgraced orcs struggled to get up from the ruined half of the camp.Even though the gut-piercing howl and thunderous bang were determined not to sound again, people's bodies were still trembling uncontrollably, most of them were wounded, their heads looked serious, and some had broken bones , but no one was actually mortally wounded.

After all, in this position, all they have to bear is the aftermath of the attack...

Feeling so intuitively that the power of the alliance almost made all the orcs lose their ability to speak, they looked like they were not even in the mood to clean up themselves, staring blankly at the circular craters one after another in the ground below the mountain. Within a huge range, all the ground objects disappeared, and there was no trace of the city map that once existed there.

Of course, that was just a crude display of stones, twigs, and weeds, but if what was here was a real city, was there any hope of resisting such cruel and utter destruction?

The orcs who were driven by this answer lost their minds, and naturally they couldn't notice the changes around them. No one noticed that the remaining vegetation on the hillside had increased in layers, and there was something more in the swaying weeds.

They were surrounded.
