"I've been through that time. ”

Grim Ward looked down at his hands, at the scars on the palms, and with unforgettable memories in his words, "Although I know that King Pedy Reagan did what he did at that time, I can't forget the favor of that time. ”

"The United Duchy is inseparable from trade with the Kingdom of Kruria. Livay Mank was clearly not going to comment on the matter, and he was silent after expressing his attitude.

Samhill frowned and didn't continue, but anyone could tell that he wasn't listening to the others.

"Knock knock" Perus ignored Samhill's displeasure as he tapped lightly on the table, "Now we're going to discuss the declaration of war on the Suk Plains... My opinion is to immediately declare war on the Sukh Plain in the name of the Joint Office, and to actively prepare the army for the impending war. ”

His proposal was immediately supported by three other people, except Sam Hill.

Samhill took a deep breath, looked at Peruth and said, "Now is the best time to restrain the power of Pedy Reagan, and if this opportunity is missed, we will..."

"Your Excellency, the Archbishop. Perus looked a little disgruntled, "You've been blinded by your paranoid thoughts... There are many clever people in this world, Shikan-Silveraxe and Andy Barrett, don't they know this? Their army is only ten days' journey from Kwyn at most, and they want to take Kwyn and the whole of Sukh Plain more than we do, but they don't!"

"Instead of doing that, they went out of their way to support King Pedy Reagan's war, at least on the surface. Judith added softly.

"Because they don't dare, we..."

"I believe my decision has been made clear. Perus looked at Samhill, "I understand your eagerness to wash away the reputation of the church after Bishop Andrew's betrayal, but you must also know that I can't get the entire United Duchy into it, Your Excellency. ”

"That's how you understand that?" Samhill looked at Peruz, "Have you decided?" he asked two questions in succession, not in a thrilling tone, but with the ease of chatting with an old friend.

"Yes, it was my decision. ”

"Squeak" The old bishop heard Perus's resolute answer, immediately stood up from his seat, and then bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Then, please allow me to resign from the post of Joint Chief of Staff. ”

"You..."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to threaten you, I was just suddenly interested in Pedi Reagan, and I intend to personally lead the paladins of the Duchy to support Pedi Reagan in this unification war. Samhill made a solemn request, and then looked at Levay Mank, "I did send paladins to Crewe City, but I never spread any rumors, I just ordered them to monitor the Holy Power fluctuations in Crewe City, because there is intelligence that the Holy Power fluctuations in Crewe City are very abnormal. ”

"You should take my word for it. Samhill's eyes turned golden in an instant, "The Holy Power in me left me for some time after the fall of the Imperial Capital, and now that the Holy Power has returned and still favors me, I will not say anything contrary to the true thoughts of my heart in the presence of the Holy Power." His glittering golden eyes stared straight at Perus.

...

Because more and more soldiers rushed to the camp from all over the country, the garrison camp had to be rebuilt again and again. At this moment, the scale of the East Camp has increased by at least five times compared to two months ago, which is why there are rumors everywhere that 'there are Kingdom soldiers in every inch of the eastern part of the Eluk Territory'.

Since his defeat three years ago, Wolf Mar has not picked up an axe under his father's admonition, so after he enlisted in the army, he would get up early almost every morning and practice chopping at the training ground of the orc independent camp with the steel double-edged battle axe that he had spent all his savings to build.

Wolf Mar has not experienced the traditional education of the old 'Tower of Dawn', and since he was born, the main battle faction has long been the mainstream of the 'Tower of Dawn', so although he obeyed his father's words to join the Kingdom of Kruria, he does not have the same sense of belonging as other old orcs, and he still fantasizes about returning to the orc tribe one day.

"You're training here again. The slightly old voice came, it was Wolf Ma's deputy, the deputy leader of this orc thousand-man team, Mo Gao, a typical orc veteran, he had never left the shield on his back since he entered the barracks.

"I haven't had the slightest chance to hold a tomahawk in my hands for more than two years. Wolf Ma glanced sideways at Mo Gao, "I need to familiarize myself with this tomahawk as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that the edge of this tomahawk on the battlefield will be dulled by my mistakes." ”

"You seem to be excited, are you looking forward to war?" Mo Gao also moved his hands and feet, which were a little stiff after a night's sleep, and before Wolf Ma could answer, he continued: "But I hate war, because war has robbed me of everything, and has left me in darkness for the first half of my life, and I don't want to pick up shields and tomahawks again if I can." ”

"Are you showing your cowardice?" Wolfma frowned, but the chopping motion in her hand didn't stop.

"There are no cowards among the people of the beast god. Mo Gao said very seriously: "I just don't want to continue the war... I had been stationed outside the fortress of Anku for more than five years, and when I returned to the tribe five years later, I found my wife and son starving to death at home. ”

Hearing Mo Gao's words, Wolf Ma couldn't help but think of some things that had happened in his clan in the past ten years, some things that he had deliberately avoided. The chopping motion in his hand became faster at this moment, and he wanted to forget those bad memories with vigorous movements.

Mo Gao stopped moving his hands and feet, and looked at Wolf Ma, whose movements were slightly confused, "I used to be very incomprehensible to what the Morinda Overseers did, and like most of the clansmen, I thought that he had betrayed the beast god and betrayed the clan... As a prisoner of war I was forced to settle here, and now I am glad that I am a prisoner of war of His Majesty Pedi, who makes me feel like I live in the kingdom of the beast god every day. ”

"Don't talk to me about the so-called honor, the so-called tribe! I have fought for honor, I have fought for my tribe for twenty years, I have participated in hundreds of wars for the future of the orcs, and I want to fight for myself now. ”

"So, you now take up your shield and tomahawk and fight for a new war. Wolf Ma stopped the slash in her hand and took a deep breath to regulate her breath.

"I found a new wife, the daughter of a laborer... I don't care about her low status, I don't have to care about her status here, I have a new child. Mo Gao had a satisfied smile on his face, "At least now I don't have to worry about them starving to death." ”

"You are too optimistic, have you forgotten the ugly faces of the nobles, have you forgotten the tragic deaths of those missing people?" Wolfma shook her head, "Although I am glad that our people have a prosperous life now, there are still many people in this country who hate us, and the nobles of Crewe still treat us like slaves. ”

"Even if you are the King Pedi whom you worship now, you will accept us because of your own political sophistication, and he will not really treat us as people. Wolfma raised an eyebrow, "We should always be vigilant in associating with humans, some of whom are good, but others are more evil than the devils in hell. ”

"I remember when you mentioned humans before, you only showed hatred, and now you are beginning to understand them. Mo Gao laughed, "I kind of understand what the Morinda Overseers mean by 'permanent peace'!"

Wolf Ma ignored Mo Gao's words, he took out a shabby and dirty cowhide from his clothes, wiped the sweat on his hands from training, picked up the thick leather coat that had been thrown on the ground and draped it on his body. As he was returning to the camp, there was a sudden burst of excited cheers from the direction of the west camp gate.

"What's going on?" asked Wolf Ma subconsciously.

"Have you lost track of your training? Yesterday afternoon, the herald of the command headquarters came to inform him that His Majesty would arrive at the camp this morning to listen to the cheers... I think His Majesty has arrived. Mo Gao put away his battle axe and shield, and he said this not only to Wolf Ma, but also to the other clansmen who gathered to hear the cheers.

"By the way, Your Majesty is really taller than the Shikan chief as rumored, and at the same time has wings like a god?"

"How can a human be as tall as Chief Shikan? ”

"Everybody says so. ”

"Your Majesty will pass by here later, won't you see?"

"Do you also know that Your Majesty will pass by here?" At this moment, Mo Gao had a straight face, and shouted to the soldiers huddled together on the left and right: "Hurry up and line up for me, if I don't see you lined up in two minutes, none of you will want to eat today's lunch." ”

"Then I'll have a little more breakfast. ”

"What's our lunch?"

"Get out of the way and line up!" Mo Gao slapped his shield at a nearby orc warrior, and the surrounding orcs immediately dispersed when they saw this.

The camp was a mess, but the warriors had been trained by human instructors for more than a month, and the most basic of the King's ranks stood in a neat but decent manner. Mo Gao deliberately kept a straight face and walked near the soldiers at the front, checking that their equipment was neatly dressed.

When everything was ready, Wolf Mar put on the standard leather armor he had received and stood at the head of the line.

At this time, the whole camp became quiet, and pairs of doubtful, suspicious, or enthusiastic eyes looked at the road outside the camp gate, listening to the increasingly dense cheers in their ears.

After nearly half an hour of waiting, a giant bear flag fluttering in the wind appeared on the horizon of the muddy road outside the camp and first came into the eyes of the orc warriors in the front row, followed by a group of knights in fresh clothes and angry horses, and at the front of the knights was the long-awaited King Pedi Regan.

Unlike the cheers of the surrounding camps, the orc camps were very quiet, and they quietly looked at the human king to whom they were now loyal, and after thousands of emotions flashed through their hearts, all that was left was a sigh of embarrassment.

Without the legendary wings, nor as tall as the legend, the only difference between their king and ordinary humans in the eyes of the orcs is that they are also smiling, but His Majesty's smile makes people feel that they dare not look directly.

Wolfma was also watching the approaching team, but he was more concerned with his father than the king by his side. The old orc's Morinda had his gray hair tied together, his beard was woven like every orc warrior who went to battle, and he wore a set of leather armor depicting the unique totems of the orc tribe, and his eyes looked straight ahead without moving, looking both modest and cautious, but without losing the majesty and grandeur of the chief minister of the kingdom.

Perhaps it was because of the sight of the clansmen's barracks, Morinda 's gaze loosened at this moment. Soon, the eyes of the father and son, who had not seen each other for a long time, collided, but then the two shifted their eyes one after another.

The king's procession quickly walked outside the orc tent...

Pedi looked at the soldiers lined up in the orc camp, felt their silent gaze, couldn't help but look twice, and waved his hand to stop the slowly advancing team, then turned his head to look at the people around him, found the position of the Morinda and said, "You and your eldest son haven't seen each other for a long time, right, come with me to go in and meet them?"

Without waiting for Morinda to answer, the captain of the guard, Sir Willy-Jon, next to him, glanced coldly at the orc camp with his black eyes, and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, this is the orc camp!"

Hearing the king's words, Morinda was overjoyed, and immediately felt like someone had poured cold water from the top of his head, making his whole body shudder and lowering his head at the same time, "Your Majesty, my people, like other warriors, are just your soldiers, they..." There is no difference, and I can't stop to greet my eldest son just because he is here. ”

He seems to mean something else!

After hearing this, Pei Di laughed and straightened his chest, "I'm not a mean person, I'll give you a vacation now, and until this time tomorrow morning, you can decide where and what you do." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Morinda didn't refuse again, after all, if he refused again, he would have to be too hypocritical.

Pei Di continued to laugh and beat his horse to the main gate of the orc camp, looked at the wolf horse who was standing respectfully at the front of the queue, and beckoned, "Captain wolf horse, you come here." ”

Wolf Ma was a little unsure when he heard the king's call, but he did not dare to look at his father for advice, so he walked up to the king's horse with a cautious attitude, and saluted in what he thought was respectful.
