"Why is the gods so unfair? Our cattle and sheep have no grass to eat, and we are hungry and full of bones, and our warriors, our herdsmen, can only grind the bones and boil soup to deceive their bellies, and the grass here is even higher than the lambs? This is obviously the grassland given to us by the gods, why do we go to our own homes to graze, why do we have to ask for permission from the invaders? This is an insult to all the warriors of Odin!"

This first warrior of the Theodin Empire, compared to his fat and strong body five years ago, has lost weight three times, and the flesh on his face has sunk deeply, to a large extent, it is supported by his huge skeleton.

Boiling a powerful champion knight into his current appearance is by no means a month or two of starvation, but it takes years to get enough nutritional supplements.

As the chief of a large tribe, the guards and warriors around the Emperor of the Western Odin Empire are all so virtuous, not to mention the terrible situation of those ordinary Odin orc herdsmen.

The Odin soldiers behind him were also very emaciated, and the armor that had originally fitted was a little loose on their bodies, as if a gust of wind could blow them off their horses.

However, the war horses under their crotches are all fat and strong, and they don't look like they have just survived five disaster years.

For the Odin orcs, their war horses are more important than their lives, and many times, they would rather eat less and drink less, and they must not miss a bite of their war horses, because this is an indispensable tool for their lives, if the war horses are starving, they are really unable to move an inch.

As a unit with a special mission, it needs to travel tens of thousands of kilometers in the shortest possible time, and the war horses under the crotch need to be carefully selected, and they are not equipped with two riders, but three riders per person.

These long-trained war horses, when they saw the fertile pastures of the East Odin grassland, their eyes were also shining, and some of them couldn't walk.

In the past five years of calamity, although they have not suffered the sin of ordinary animals, it is impossible for them to eat them with their stomachs open, especially since they can keenly and directly feel that the difference between these pastures and what they have eaten before is definitely a great nourishment for the deprived body.

"The water and grass here are good, and it's not getting early, so let's set up camp here tonight!" Skambari looked around, and said to Ozhle and Kedao.

"It's okay, we've been on the road for so long, whether it's those brothers or the war horses, they're all tired, so let's take advantage of the fat water and grass here today to recuperate. Ozhlehok nodded at the soldiers under his command and said, "Tell the people below, be careful, we are likely to have entered the occupied area of the Eternal Night Army Territory now, and we may collide with their herdsman outposts at any time, try to avoid a head-on confrontation with them." ”

"Yes. The Orcs shouted in command.

They are all elites single-handedly selected by Ozhle Hok, and they know very well what they do.

Gather the horses and graze them nearby.

Anza's tent.

Bonfires are lit.

Carrying a hunting bow to the surrounding outposts to hunt.

Those who are looking for clean water.

It can be called each performing its own duties, and there is no chaos at all.

Scambarge drove his war horse, stopped in a place where the water and grass were the most fertile, closed his eyes for a while, and let out a long breath: "It seems that the Holy See's statement about the Eternal Night Commander is not pure slander, and some of it is true. ”

Orile and Ke looked at each other with a puzzled expression, unable to guess the meaning of the other party's behavior at all, "What exactly do you mean by the slanderous words that the adults say?"

Instead of answering Ozhlehok's question directly, Scambarge picked a relatively thick one from the grass, uprooted it, and with a gentle stroke, he peeled off the skin of the entire rhizome and threw it to the other party, saying, "What's the difference in tasting these sweet roots?"

After Orile and Ke took it, he didn't suspect him, and stuffed it directly into his mouth, like gnawing on a turnip, and after three bites, he removed most of it.

This grass looks like pasture grass, but it is actually another plant, because of its hypertrophied roots, and it is famous for its large amount of water and sweetness, even in normal years, those Odin orcs, especially those greedy little Odin orcs, like to use them as natural desserts, let alone in years of scarcity of materials, before they are fully grown, they are dug up and stewed as wild vegetables.

"What's the difference? Isn't it just that it grows a little bigger than a normal sweet root, well, and the sweetness is a little stronger...... This is ......" At the beginning, Orile Hok didn't take it seriously at all, but as the first bite of sweet root went down, his eyes involuntarily widened, but the chewing action became faster.

After three or two bites, he swallowed the sweet root in his hand into his stomach, even the stems and leaves that were relatively jerky and difficult to swallow and indigestible were not let go, and then a tiger pounced, jumped to Scambarge's side, pulled out several sweet roots in a row, and said vaguely while stuffing them into his mouth: "My lord, what is going on?" I feel a force churning in my stomach, I feel that I have inexhaustible strength, I can feel that my body is recovering. ”

"That's just the illusion that you have absorbed a lot of energy in a short period of time, your body has been injured too badly in this disaster, and if you want to recover completely, this energy alone is far from enough. Scambar's gaze was so deep that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking, "Didn't you complain about the injustice of the gods before?" now I can tell you clearly that the reason for such a huge difference between the east and west of the Odin steppe is not because of the arm of the gods, but because of the man, the young lord of the Eternal Night.

There is a unique energy in the land and in the vegetation here, which makes them grow taller and more luxuriant than the grass in our territory under the same conditions. ”

"How is that possible?" "How is it possible?" Ori Lek's eyes were stunned, and the sweet root that can quickly replenish the body's energy forgot to stuff it into his mouth, "This place is still three thousand kilometers away from the Eternal Night Army, how can they water all the grass here with energy? This is the ability that only the gods have." ”

"Back then, you had witnessed that lord fighting against an indescribable being, at that time, his strength was beyond your and mine's knowledge, and now I have only cracked a little bit of the mystery, not to mention that ten years have passed, he will not stand still, every step he takes is an unknown territory that we don't understand, even if he has grown into a god now, I am not surprised. "You now understand why I insist on convincing Your Majesty that before the two sides go to war, we must hold a meeting to see if we can solve our current predicament by peaceful means, because if we are not careful, we may go to war with a true god." ”

"A real god?haha...... Uncle Wang, the more you live, the more you go back. "I admit that the personal strength of the young lord of the Eternal Night Army is indeed far beyond our previous knowledge, but there is still an upper limit to his strength, at least there is still a long way to go from the legendary omnipotent god...... What's more, Uncle Wang hadn't analyzed it before, compared to us, the newly established Holy See Empire, in order to maintain itself from collapsing, was in the mood to wage war with foreign countries more urgently than us.

As long as our armies move away from the west and don't continue to put pressure and threat on them, they will fight the Eternal Night Leaders whether we go to war or not.

Can we take the opportunity to reclaim some of the East Odin grasslands and help us through the crisis at hand?"

Although the Western Odin's crusade was forced by the situation, it was not a rash action, but was weighed and analyzed in many aspects.

"This analysis, until now, I also insist, has not changed, but these things, many of them are aimed at the Eternal Night Commander, not their own, for a force known for its rapid development, the information in our hands is too lagging behind, if the Holy See Empire is as we wish, it is better to say that most of the military strength of the Eternal Night Commander, if not?

If we don't prepare in advance, our people will be in a dilemma.

Over the years, our strength has been damaged too badly, and we can no longer withstand any major setbacks. ”

Scambarge's gaze was obviously much longer than that of the first warrior of Odin.

Whining......

Suddenly, in the distance, there was the muffled sound of Odin's horn characteristic of the orcs.

The faces of Scambarzh and Ozhlehok froze at the same time, and without hesitation, they turned on their horses and galloped away in the direction from which the sound of the horn came.

The two had barely ridden a kilometer when an Odin orc rode towards them.

"What's going on?" asked Orile and Ke with a scowl in the face.

"Returning to the chief, the sentry we let go of collided with the enemy's rangers. The Odin orc sentry replied.

"Did the two sides move their swords?" Scambarge couldn't help but ask what he was most concerned about.

"Returning to the Prince, we respectfully obey your orders, and when we find traces of the other party, we unload the bowstring and put the sword into the sheath, showing our goodwill, but the other party is a little aggressive, and before I come back to deliver the message, we are chasing and intercepting our people. Odin's orc whistle had an unconcealed grievance in his words.

Because of Scambarge's orders, they were tied hand and foot from the beginning, and when they met, they were inevitably at a disadvantage everywhere.

"You're doing a great job. Scambarge said to Ozhle and Ke, "Wait a minute, leave the matter of dialogue to me, you must control your temper, we are not an advance army, but with Your Majesty's goodwill, the team of envoys who ask for peace talks, we must not destroy our entire plan because of a momentary anger, we are now representing not only ourselves, but the people of the entire empire, even if we suffer a little grievance, it is worth it." ”

"I know what to do. "I just didn't expect that the hand of the Eternal Night Army Leader was stretched long enough, and the rangers actually went deep into here, do they really have the appetite to eat the entire East Odin grassland?"

"It's not necessarily that the other party's influence has radiated here, maybe the other party is specifically coming for us. ”

"What do you mean, Uncle Wang? Could it be that the Eternal Night Commander already knows that we are coming?" Ohri Lehok said with some surprise.

"It is very likely that as early as the day before yesterday, when I crossed that mountain pass, I had a feeling of being targeted, and the further I went, the stronger this feeling became, and now it seems that it is not an illusion. "As a powerful warlock, Scambarge is far more powerful and sensitive than ordinary people in terms of his five senses, especially the sixth sense in the dark.

"Uncle Wang, have you deified the Eternal Night Army leader in your heart? even if the other party is strong, it is not strong to this extent, right?" In the past, Ozhlehok felt that Skambari was sometimes a little nervous, but since stepping into the East Odin steppe, this symptom has become more serious.

"Whether it is deified or not, you will know when you really come into contact. Skamba did not bother to explain this.

By the time Scambarge and the others galloped to the place where the accident occurred at the outpost, the hundred elite Orcs who had come with them to carry out the mission had already gathered behind them, and they all looked highly nervous, and they couldn't help but draw their bows and shoot arrows.

They were long since they were far away from the area under the control of the Theodin Empire, and they had no idea what kind of enemy they would face.

"Calm down, all calm, no one is allowed to attack without my orders. Scambarge pressed his horse's speed and shouted an order to the Odin orcs behind him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The elite of the Odin orcs answered with a loud voice, pressing down on their bows and arrows, but they did not put them away.

"Odin?" Scambarge and Orile and Ke couldn't help but glance at each other, able to make out the complexity in the depths of each other's eyes.

They have seen what lies ahead.

There was a cavalry of no less than hundreds, surrounding a dozen sentinels belonging to them in the middle, galloping and roaring on horseback.

This is the most commonly used demonstration and deterrence tactic in the steppe.

These cavalrymen had the same faces as the Scambarges, and were pure-blooded Odin orcs.

But a discerning person can see at a glance that the two belong to completely different camps.

Compared with the elite of the Odin orcs led by Scambarge, this group of Odin orc cavalry is generally more majestic, with several of them in size, even comparable to Orile Hok.

This is the first point that makes Scambarge and them look sideways, you must know that their team, but the elite carefully selected from the entire Western Odin Empire represents not the average height of the Odin orcs of the Western Odin Empire, but the upper limit height.
