Chapter 1: Tacit understanding

In this turbulent continent, all living beings face the same threat, and seem to be doing the same thing for the same purpose.

At the junction of the Vault Dweller's Hill and the Orc tribe in the north of the continent, Qi Tianci's guards have become more and more proficient in equestrian training. Maybe it's because Magellan's elite troops have long been accustomed to this kind of training, maybe it's because they don't have the time to spend on training now, so they seem to be extremely hard at the same time as they must master the technology, or maybe it's just because these guards are indeed different from ordinary people, although they are much worse than the apostles, but as a member of the human race, they are enough to stand at the top of the human pyramid.

All in all, for a number of reasons, nearly 100 Guards soldiers had mastered the art of horsemanship. Not only can they achieve long-distance running by rotating their horses, but they also have mastered certain horse combat skills. However, unlike the formal cavalry, they were not equipped with the thick and bulky knightly lances that were used for them, and instead used a smaller version of the heavy knightly lances of the cavalry. Compared to the weapons used by the cavalry, the knight spears of these cameo knights are much lighter, but they also do not have as long a combat distance as the cavalry. After all, compared to those formal cavalry, they mainly had to dismount and fight, and rarely used cluster charges. As for why they didn't use the weapons of those orc wolf cavalry, the reason was very simple, it was because the horse chopping knives of these wolf cavalry were not long, after all, the war wolf they sat on was an excellent killing machine, and the war knives of those wolf cavalry played a far less important role than their own mounts.

In addition to the small knight's spear, which was uniformly equipped, the weapons of this guard were equipped according to the previous class. As before, the cameo cavalry was divided into heavy infantry with giant shields, assault soldiers with spears, and a dozen archers who specialized in long-range killing. In this way, another war horse that did not carry people played a unique role, that is, it was used to carry their equipment. After all, carrying these equipment while riding a horse will greatly reduce the physical strength of your mount. At this time, Qi Tianci felt how scientific it was for each soldier to have two horses.

However, whether it is the orc tribe of the War Sword Saint or the remnants of Magellan in Sterls, it is clear that everything that is being done now is to prepare for the future crusade against those apostles. The most urgent thing facing these beast alliances is to go to the orc tribe while defeating these exiles who have no order in the Vault Dweller's Hill, so that the War Blademaster can reunite the orc clan, and transfer these nearly 30,000 refugees to the Rohan Empire safely. If possible, seek cooperation with the newly rising emperor of the Luohan Empire, so that the power of this coalition will be further strengthened. After all, unlike humans, the Barbarians' elite beast slayer army is a powerful existence that can rival the Apostles. It follows from this that there must be equally powerful troops among the orc clans and tribes. After all, if there were not enough orc troops to fight against the beast slayer army, then the orcs would be wiped out in the perennial war with the barbarians.

As for the current wolf cavalry, Qi Tianci admits that these orc warriors riding huge war wolves are very strong, at least stronger than the nearly one hundred guards under his command now, but they are also a little far from the more powerful existence in Qi Tianci's heart. And Qi Tianci also believes that the orc clan will definitely have more powerful troops. And the guards under his command need to be trained to become stronger enough to compete with the enemies of the apostles, who are destroying the country, and now, they are too weak.

Thousands of kilometers away in the Continent of the Damned, the allied force of former rivals has begun a series of combat drills to improve the coordination of the two races, which had never fought side by side before. After all, even if a human with the most powerful psychological quality discovers that the colleague who fought with him is actually the undead who has been fighting with him for several years or even more before this, he will inevitably get angry in his heart. And although those undead are much colder in their hearts than humans, every undead has some distrust in their hearts about the humans who will fight with them in the future. But given their previous history, this distrust is also quite normal.

And the current various drills are aimed at getting these two feuds to abandon each other's prejudices and work together. Although the cooperation between the two sides seemed so awkward at the beginning, as time went by, the two sides finally achieved results, at least the two sides would not intentionally or unintentionally cut their weapons at their future comrades. From this point of view, it is believed that the two sides will get along more harmoniously in the future.

Do these two races really put aside all prejudices and work together? Of course not. After all, thousands of years of hatred cannot be erased by an external threat. Perhaps, after working together to disarm the foreign enemy, the two sides will return to the previous situation of non-stop. Therefore, while cooperating, the two sides are also quietly learning from each other and studying each other's strengths and weaknesses, so as to make full use of each other's shortcomings and defeat the opponent in a possible war in the future.

However, what is even more tacit is that the two sides have taken a series of actions that are unknown to the other side and the whole world. After all, whether it is the alliance of humans and beasts in the north or the alliance of undead and humans in the south, it is too incredible, and it would be a shocking thing if these news were spread in this world in advance.

As for Viren, who was far away in the apostolic world, he had just recovered from that great shock.

The dungeon, as the small area he was in slowly stopped sinking, Viren was stunned by what he saw.

It should be an incomparably majestic city, because even though Viren was located in an extremely dark corner at this time, it was much larger than any corner of the unyielding city of Hagia Sophie, the capital of the Magellan kingdom. Although it was dimly lit due to the lack of sunlight, the huge torches that were set up every ten meters or so allowed Viren to see his surroundings clearly. This corner presents an irregular triangle, and where Viren now stands is in the center of the widest line of this triangle. For some reason, there isn't much construction here, and it's full of those huge rocks. As he looked deeper, he noticed that one of the corners of the triangle had a deep path, guarded by a pair of apostolic soldiers of about thirty men. As for what lies behind the trail, Viren doesn't know yet, but it's compared to the rest of the dungeon.

"This is our fortress. As if to see the shock in Viren's heart at this time, one of the apostles said with some pride: "Now your area is a pig ranch for slaves to enter and exit. And there's another lamb trail, which is that trail. The apostle, like a guide, pointed in the direction that Viren had just looked, and continued: "Behind this trail is the slave quarter, and if there are no accidents, this will be the place you can stay in the future. For other regions, you are not qualified to know. But now, we have to complete the last task that the Lord of the Mourners has given us, and that is to escort you to the residence of the Lord of the Dead. As for your fate in the future ... Saying this, the apostle's eyes actually flashed with a hint of sympathy. "Maybe being a slave is the best fate for you. If you make the Lord angry, your fate will definitely be worse than that of a slave. Fortunately, I am one of the great apostles, not you lowly aliens. ”

And Viren just glanced at the apostle who spoke with disdain, and then turned his head away from it. For Viren, he no longer cared what his fate would be. Ever since he had traveled through the Abyss of Light to this strange foreign capital, Viren had no hope of survival. Since they are all doomed to death, why should they show their cowardly side to these apostles so that they can find a reason to mock themselves? Of course not.

After a brief exchange with the apostle guards guarding the trail, one of the leading apostle captains mockingly glanced at Viren, who seemed to be indifferent, and took out the key from his waist. With a dull squeak, the heavy wooden door that locked the path slowly opened. The mystery of this trail is revealed.

As the apostle team slowly descended into the trail, Viren found that unlike the previous so-called pig ranch, there were huge torches burning ten meters away as a light source, and this deep path did not have a single torch. Instead, the cliffs on both sides of the trail are sparsely inlaid with thousands of small stones that glow green for lighting. In this regard, Viren still doesn't care much, no matter how weird it is set up here, it is not his own home. Moreover, now the apostle has made it clear that he will escort himself to the bereaved master, with whom he had not had a very pleasant experience, rather than ending his own life. So Viren has nothing to worry about anymore.

However, to Viren's surprise, the trail was unexpectedly long. At first, Viren thought it would take less than a minute to reach the end and reach the slave quarters that the apostles had previously mentioned. However, as time passed, Viren realized that it had been about an hour since they had entered the trail, but they had not meant to cross the trail.

"This was a vein before. Perhaps feeling bored, the apostle next to him took the initiative to speak: "But about 3,000 years ago, because the veins were mined, it became what it is now. It's long, isn't it, little bug?"

Viren snorted coldly: "What about long?"

"Hahaha, what about the long?" Another apostle in the vicinity also took over and mocked, "If other slaves pass by here, they will definitely be frightened crazy in such an environment." And you, if it weren't for the bereaved lord's order not to do anything to you again, then you would definitely be like those slaves. “

"But you don't dare. Viren gave a rare sneer: "After all, you are just a bunch of dogs raised by the one called the Lost Lord." You can only do what the mourner asks you to do, even if I sarcastically make you worthless, you can only find a bargain in your mouth and dare not touch a single hair. Compared to me, you are more like a bunch of slaves, a bunch of slaves with no freedom and no sense of self. “

"You little worm!" Viren's mocking words made several of the surrounding apostles extremely angry, and several of them even drew their weapons to dismember Viren's body. But he was stopped by the other apostles who kept their sanity. "Go back, you want to die and find a corner to kill yourself, I still want to advance to a middle-level apostle!"

"Hahaha!" However, the apostle's actions made Viren even more unscrupulous. He laughed loudly and pointed at the apostles and mocked, "Intermediate apostles? Hahaha, do you think you can become an apostle like Wyatt? Now you are only one of the lowest apostles, no matter how well you complete your task, you will never be able to advance! Your ultimate fate is to be reduced to ashes under the flames of our vengeance!"

Seeing that their taunts had no effect, but were instead seized by Viren and belittled them to the extreme, the apostles simply didn't say anything and continued to bury their heads towards the end of the trail. Whatever Viren said the apostles assumed they hadn't heard, and secretly prayed that the trail they had walked so many times would come to an end soon.

Finally, after walking for nearly an hour, the apostles, who had endured Viren's taunts for nearly two hours, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because not far away, a small circular gate has shown its outline, and this is the end of the path. When the wooden door was opened, everything suddenly seemed brighter, and brighter than the trail and the pig ranch on the other side of the trail. After adjusting to the light, Viren slowly opened his eyes, and found that almost everywhere he looked, there was a simple wooden hut. The inside and outside of the hut are covered with foul-smelling garbage, which is a huge garbage heap. On top of this garbage heap, there are all kinds of creatures lying or slumped on it, and occasionally a few are walking around, but they also seem to be weak. With the exception of a few humans and dwarves, orcs and barbarians, Viren never found out that the race he knew was presumably slaves scavenged from all over the world by the Apostles.

And this should be the slave area that the apostle said.
