Chapter 289 New Guests

The shrill scream pierced through the air, and there was a messy slapping sound from the top of the forest. The orc sitting under the forest quickly got up, climbed up to a small platform cleared among the rocks, and watched a giant gray eagle flying obliquely. Everyone hurriedly avoided, and amidst the dust and blades of grass stirred up by the eagle's wings, a thin figure jumped down from the eagle's back, rolled onto the ground, and hit a rock before stopping. The giant eagle barely managed to stop. Qiang grabbed the thick wooden frame in the center of the platform, swayed and stood firmly, with the feathers on the back of his head slightly raised, turned his head and let out a ferocious cry to an orc who was trying to approach.The other two giant eagles on the nearby wooden stand watched it and laughed hoarsely.

"Beast God..." The orc stopped a dozen steps away, looked at the bleeding wound on the edge of the eagle's wing, and spread his hands anxiously, "Poor Al... it almost won't come back Already!"

"The wound is through." Another orc came over, and he said in a low voice, "What did you see? Or did you provoke them, Steele?"

The orc who jumped to the ground coughed and got up, someone handed him a skin bag of water, he pressed his chest, and took a sip after a while, "No, I didn't... I was just observing those who came from Sachel The tribe that left." He said with difficulty, "They followed Sasheer's team, and they used weapons, the kind... the shamans said, extremely terrible weapons."

This orc was extremely short in stature, almost like a child, but his face already belonged to an adult, and he had the same gray-brown feathers as the other companions. The ear holes are hidden in it, inconspicuous.His figure is not very special. Among these orcs, there are several people similar to him. They gathered around and looked at him nervously, but he shook his head in pain, "Too soon, I saw them movement, but I didn't see anything, nothing, just a sound like a chestnut bursting in fire, and then Al got hurt, and I, I don't even know if Al was killed before or after that sound Hit by..."

His companion gasped softly following his description, and the orc with a deep voice looked at the restless giant eagle not far away. As the best hunter of the generation of giant eagles, Al had never been injured like this, it even There has never been a real war, as the Empire has been stable for a long time, and the Eagles have always been careful not to enslave their symbiotic races over pointless disputes.

What's more, since the time of the rift, there have been fewer and fewer angels born with wings in their own race... It is no longer worth putting them in danger for anything.

But this time it was the big nobles of Lacerda who tested the pressure on them together. The self-willed Padra died, and his inappropriate words and deeds to the Eagles were also wiped out with his death. Before reconciliation—these nobles spent a lot of effort to make themselves and others accept the fact of the fiasco. Those shamans who were released are still locked up in the palace. The elders have been unable to decide whether to summon the orc clans in the west and north of the empire as soon as possible.So they very much need to know how much power the current Sasheer has, especially what kind of human beings are connected with them. This time the Eagles have no reason to refuse.

They sent a team, including the three-headed giant eagle, to come day and night, but they were not sure what Sacher's attitude towards outsiders was now.They also heard some news during the rest of the road, about how Sacher persecuted some tribes that participated in the war, and in the name of an untimely Musa meeting, those tribes had to let their leaders bring warriors to ask for forgiveness .

The giant eagle Ayr was finally appeased. Its attendants carefully cleaned the feathers near the wound. While applying the ointment, two of them flew away with its wings, and one of the eagle's arms hit a stone. , the bone broke in two in the flesh.

During this time, the driver of Aiur also told what he saw. The tribes who came to Sasheer were more than they knew and imagined. Formed an army, although they were neatly lined up, and the men and horses looked quite energetic, but the team with strange and terrifying weapons that obviously belonged to Sacher followed behind, making it impossible for the vanguard team of the Eagle Clan to distinguish their forces. Purpose.

If the hostages were taken, those tribes shouldn't have such a spirit. If Sacher didn't do anything, why would they follow and monitor these tribes?

Because of the rumors of those gifted with weapons and human strength, Steele didn't dare to let Al fly close to Sasheer's residence, but he was still attacked, which may mean that Sasheer expanded their territory after the war.This is a natural development, but this team now faces a choice.

"Bring them here," said the chief.

Several embarrassing orcs were pushed in front of him. Their straw hats, straw capes and iron-inlaid canes had been removed, and only the straw sandals were still on their feet. The wounds of these people were recovering, but their hair and faces did not look so bad. Only the frustration of going from one kind of captive to another.They looked uneasy at the condescending Yingman, who was tall, with thick and sharp fingers and claws, and looked down at them with a cold and ruthless gaze.

"I have a few questions," the chief said.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "It is true that Sacher has moved?"

The captives looked at each other, "No, we don't know," they said.

"Don't know?" A Yingman of normal height asked loudly, "You don't even know this?"

"Yes, yes," said one prisoner, "at first, when we were driven to work, we saw them driving carts in groups from a distance, and there was no end in sight on the road to the hills. The leather tents were all empty, we were called to unpack the skins and clean them, only a few Sashere were watching over us, but soon some Sashere came back, and humans, and then They rebuilt new houses in there, a lot of houses..."

"So Sachel is back?"

"Maybe, maybe..." said the captive who answered timidly.

The loud-talking Yingman took a step forward, "Are you half-blind, you can't even tell the difference between an orc and a human?"

"We were driven back quickly. Those humans were under strict surveillance...in the camp, we could only listen to what others had said about them, but that was very little..."

Even though little was known about these wretched captives, the Eagles still had a lot of news from them, but they weren't sure if it was what they wanted.As these prisoners said, Sasheer has undergone great changes in a very short period of time. Whether it is the migration of the tribe or the reconstruction of the original place, it takes other tribes a year or more to complete. And it is said that the humans did not come to this land for too long, but they were deeply involved in all the processes, and they even built a beautiful and huge building in only seven days, and opened it to the use of many tribes.This unbelievable miracle was confirmed by Steele, because he was on Al's back and saw a very special shining huge square-shaped creation on the bank of the big river from a long distance away.

Now that the Musa Conference is over, those tribes seem to have left safely. They may be able to detour to stop one, get more information about Sasheer and human beings, or do it another way...

Tell Scar Nightmare they are coming.

They might be able to enter Sasheer, after all, hearing is not as good as seeing, but none of the previous emissary team was able to return to the camp of the beast army. The ability of the Eagles to protect themselves is obviously not stronger than that of the extravagant Lions.

"But it's still worth a try," said the leader.

The rest of the Eagles did not speak, but expressed their opinions with their eyes.

The leader turned his head to look at Al, the giant eagle who buried his head between his wings and looked at them resentfully with his dark yellow pupils, "What a hundred thousand troops cannot conquer, neither can we fight against. For a king It is said that any spying on his territory is a disrespectful act of a villain, which will incur the wrath of the thunder, and if the purpose of coming is frank, even if the result is unsatisfactory, the responsibility should not belong to the communicator who abides by etiquette."

"King?" Someone finally shouted, and the rest of the Eagles looked at the leader in disbelief.

"Before the one in the Beast Emperor's Palace regained his victory and seized his power, he killed all the competitors in the battle for the throne, took revenge on the Tiger Clan, and got rid of all the demon wolves who pursued him and returned safely. Scar Nightmare's subordinates won a complete victory against a powerful enemy when the patriarch was in the imperial capital, which also proved his commanding power, and his record after that is needless to say. The only flaw is that he is allied with humans." The leader said .

"It's also fatal." Steele whispered.

"Whether that's the case, maybe we can only know after seeing Scar Nightmare." The leader said, "But if he is as cruel and reckless as the rumors in the imperial capital, they shouldn't be alive now, and they should be able to leave Sachel."

Those captive orcs were tied under a tree and kept looking around.

"Maybe he's just putting on a show," said another Eagleman.

"Isn't that exactly what we want?" the leader said, as long as they don't offend the interests of the demon wolf, they should be safe.

Nobody could come up with a better idea than this.And before entering Sacher's territory, they still need to dispose of those captives.

Two hawks walked towards them, and the captives sitting under the tree nervously watched the shadows of these brown-eyed orcs loom over them, and one of them suddenly yelled: "Great, my lords!"

"We're not really grown-ups."

"No, no, I know! You are from the imperial capital, you are adults trusted by the elders!" the orc said hurriedly, "I was originally a member of the strong beast army, even if there is only one left Hand, I don't care about my life, I just want to see Sachel get the punishment he deserves! But, but, those humans..."

"How about those humans?" An Ying man squatted in front of him and asked softly.

"They can't die—" said the orc, "and they shouldn't."

This sentence not only surprised the Yingman opposite him, but even the leader looked over.

"These humans are very important!" said the orc, almost pleadingly, "despite the untold wealth of their leaders, their skills and talents are precious. How can they die so easily before they pay the price for their actions, before they confide everything and give everything?"

The young Yingman let go of the hands that were resting on his shoulders, stretched above the neck bone, and looked back at the leader who was coming.

"You have extraordinary courage." The leader said, and the other prisoners looked at this excited companion with indescribable eyes, and the leader looked at them condescendingly, with indifferent eyes, "There must be many people who are willing to listen to such words ,However--"

He put his right hand on his waist, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath with his left hand. The sun fell from the treetops through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating a ray of cold light.The captives became frightened, begging for mercy and shrinking back, pushing the early orc to the front.

A gust of wind blew past, and the orc looked down at the neatly cut rope, and then raised his head in surprise, but there was no response to his admiring gaze, and the leader turned around and left.

"It means nothing to us," said the chief. "Go away."

Word of the suspected voyeur had reached Perth in Sacher's native place, but it had had little effect on what they were doing.The orc team returning to the tribe has not yet completely left the territory of the fox clan. The sentry posts facing the hinterland of the orc empire in eight directions are already in place. Each sentry post has two werewolves and one human, each with a set of light armor, equipped with sharp crossbows and long spears. A bow, three fireworks in a waterproof leather case, and... five grenades with wooden handles.There is enough dry food, and the sentry posts are changed every three days.

After a while, more materials will be sent over, and on the way to and from Sasheer and Hekel, there will be some solid buildings with the imprints of werewolves and humans.

A second batch of captives was also released.

Like the previous batch, each of the captives in this batch got some items and food to survive the journey, and then led by a small team, they went all the way through the fields and forests, and returned to the mountain. Nightmare Valley.

From one end of the valley to the other, it was not a long, but difficult journey.The ground full of potholes, broken wood and rocks is rough and rough. The captives who still made some voices on the road shut up here and silently followed the team ahead, although most of them have recovered in the past month. , and the team escorting them was only a dozen people, but when the werewolf leading the team stopped and blew their familiar whistle, none of the captured orcs took a step forward.

Even though many of them couldn't help showing anxious expressions on their faces, the memory left by this land was too deep for them, the smell of gunpowder smoke still seemed to fill the sky, and the sound of thunder was still roaring in their hallucinations, no matter what Looking up and lowering his head, the scene of blood splatter and smoke all over the sky seems to be still in front of his eyes.

The werewolf captain turned to look at them, and asked, "Who wants to stay? As a free man?" He raised his voice, "Work as usual, and get paid and protected by me, Sacher?"

The crowd was very quiet. After the captain repeated his words again and again, the orcs looked at each other hesitantly as if they had just woken up from a dream, and whispered.

The werewolves who escorted the prisoners waited for a while, like squeezing mud, starting from the beginning, separating groups of prisoners from the crowd, questioning them one by one, taking the remaining ones aside, and letting the departing ones go. Those orcs who left, they didn't take another look.On the contrary, those ex-captives who finally got their freedom looked surprised. Even if they instinctively walked away, some people still couldn't help looking back.

The orcs who stayed behind also looked at their leaving backs, most of them confused.

Passing through the gaps in the forest, Yingman's naturally sharp eyes recognized the loose team winding forward like an ant army in the distance, "Those are also prisoners?"

"It seems so, and Thacher actually let them go—"

The hawks exchanged a few words briefly, and had no intention of encountering these people head-on. Taking advantage of the cover of the forest, they continued to move forward until a short arrow pierced into the tree trunk next to the hawk at the front.

They stopped immediately.

"Guests from afar." A voice said, "Do you need me to show you the way?"

A human wearing a head full of branches and leaves leaned against another tree not far away, with a smile on his face.The short arrow was not shot from his direction.
