Chapter 70: Rivals
The Ji Yong Empire, across the sea from the Northern Frozen Lands, is located in the northeast of the First Continent and is a superpower that accounts for a quarter of the entire continent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This country is an orc country, which means that the ratio of orcs to humans may reach one hundred to one, coupled with the wars over the years, the contradictions between orcs and terrans have increased dramatically, and there may be fewer humans in this country.
As the superpower of this continent, it provides the main army on the battlefield, and every year, many hot-blooded young men of the beast clan put on their battle armor, bid farewell to their hometown, and embark on this dangerous road. As the main warring country, and as the area where the contradictions between the human race and the beast race are most intense, the two peoples hate each other, even beyond the hatred of the demons back then, and this hatred has gradually crept into people's hearts, and unconsciously, it has been buried in their subconscious.
The orcs, as one of the protagonists of this war, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. They are the offspring of wild beasts, and the wildness of a beast of prey flows through them. They are born strong and strong, with infinite strength, and the acquired exercise is even more able to carry the tripod, and there is a tendency to shake the mountain and revitalize the mountain between the gestures.
The Terrans, who are also the protagonists of this war, although they do not have the strong physique of the Orcs, still rely on the strength of the group to compete with the Orcs. With their own wisdom, they have created a variety of advanced weapons, developed a variety of clever tactics, and stalemate with the beasts for decades.
There is one more thing that cannot be ignored in this war, and that is magic. Magic is not new to the two races, but like the demon race, not all people can use magic, and those who can use magic are like the stars in the night sky, which are very few and rare. However, it is precisely because of the rarity that magicians have a very high social status in this war-torn society.
The so-called magicians are not necessarily all warriors who go into battle to kill the enemy, after all, they are not numerous, and the country will not be stupid enough to put them on the dangerous front line, but let them stay in a safe place and study all kinds of weapons, medicines, and tactics. Therefore, it is the brave soldiers who are fighting on the front line with weapons and armor.
Now, the country that the snow predecessor brought to Thunder is this Ji Yong Empire. Wearing a cloak that covered his whole body, Ray sat on a white fox and looked around curiously and cautiously.
The place where Lei and the others just arrived is the coastal area of the Ji Yong Empire, and it is also far away from the war zone, so there is no need to worry about suddenly rushing out of the enemy. Along the way, they passed through the grasslands, through the forests, and saw many villages. However, for the sake of safety, the white fox bypassed all the villages under the orders of the snow seniors, so Lei had no chance to see the beast clan's village at all.
The group continued to move in a southeasterly direction, and the further south they went, the clouds in the sky thinner and thinner, and finally the blue sky appeared in front of Thunder's eyes. Even in winter, the sky of the human world is still very beautiful, and the white clouds drift leisurely with the wind, like a small boat sailing in the ocean, and the winter birds sing for a long time, leaving only a gentle call. Ray tilted his head high and stared at the beautiful scenery that made people feel refreshed, even if the sun was a little dazzling, Ray would cover it with his fingers and continue to watch.
Different from the sky of the demon world, I always feel that the sky of the human world is more alive and a little more leisurely.
I don't know how long it was, and I forgot to rest a few times, along the way, they passed through many places, there were mountains, rivers, and ravines, and now, they came to a canyon, and as long as they crossed the canyon, they could reach their destination this time, a high mountain called Divine Wolf Mountain.
Walking into the canyon, I saw that the cliffs on both sides were steep and vertically upward, and there was nothing on the bare mountain except for the yellow rocks, and the only vitality was only the weeds that had long since withered on the cliffs.
It was dusk, and fiery red clouds appeared in the western sky, but the canyon was slightly dark. The shadow of the man was pulled by the elder, reflected on the cliff like a standing monster.
At this moment, Xue Senpai noticed the strange surroundings with his keen awareness, and he ordered the white fox to stop, and he also went down to the ground, and after getting off the ground, his long hair floated in the air like a jellyfish, probably because he didn't want to dirty his long hair.
"Stop!" Senior Xue stretched out his left hand and stopped the entourage behind.
Lei also felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, and as night fell, he could always feel a chilling malice.
"Fortunately, we haven't entered the enemy's encirclement yet, but they're already approaching us!" Xue Senpai said calmly.
"Why don't I go check it out!" Ray took the initiative to ask for help, took off his cloak, and spread his wings to show off his skills.
"Don't worry! It's not enough to worry about bandits! ”
"Bandits..."
"Yes! This canyon is a dangerous terrain, it is a gathering place for bandits, I have only heard of it before, and I have not encountered it before, but if I encounter it today, it can be regarded as their bad luck! ”
It was too late, and then it was too fast, more than a dozen orc bandits with big knives slid down the edge of the cliff dozens of meters high, and landed smoothly on the ground, and a few bandits stood on the top of the mountain with bows and arrows and had already drawn their bows to aim at the snow seniors.
It was also the first time for Lei to see orcs up close, and he saw that they were all muscular, two meters tall, and similar in appearance to humans, but their ears were beast ears, their teeth were also very sharp, their hands were also clawed, their soles were not ambiguous, and they also had tails of different shapes.
It looks like this is a gang of bandits composed of different beasts, including werewolves, tigermen, and the most muscular cowmen. The snow seniors stood still at all, and the bandits slowly surrounded them.
Ray dropped his cloak and took out his weapon, and looked around in a circle, only to see that there was another person at the top of the cliff, leisurely crossing Erlang's legs and drinking a little wine. Lei took a closer look and found that this person did not have animal ears and sharp teeth, and looked more like a human, but unfortunately the distance was too far to see the specific appearance.
At this time, the werewolf among the bandits spoke, his voice was very thick, his face was full of stubble, and his voice was very thick, quite like a general.
"Dare to ask a few of you where you are going, I wonder if you can leave something for us brothers!"
It's the first time I've seen such a polite bandit Xue senior, which really startled him.
"What do you want?"
Senior Xue felt that the thief in front of him was quite interesting, so he thought about cooperating with him to see what else he could say.
"Haha! It's nothing, now that the war on the front line is tight, we are not happy, if you can save some coins for us brothers to buy some meat to eat and drink wine, we will be content! ”
"Oh? Then if you dare to grab money, why don't you dare to grab some wine and meat! ”
The werewolf smiled. "The terrain here is dangerous, and it is easy to grab money, and it is inevitable that your brother will be injured if you go directly to grab wine and meat, I see that your dress does not want ordinary people, so you don't dare to use the knife directly. I think if you weren't an ordinary person, you wouldn't care about these little money! ”
"Hahaha! Interesting! You're really interesting! Okay, then I'll pay the toll. ”
Seeing that Senior Xue actually smiled, the two entourages behind him were inevitably a little surprised, they had never seen him smile so refreshingly after following him for so long.
As he spoke, Senior Snow took out two gold coins and put them in the werewolf's hand.
"That's enough for you to eat for more than a month!"
I always feel like talking to the werewolf in front of me, and the snow senior is like a different person, and for some reason, I always feel that he has a different good impression of this race.
The werewolf respectfully took the coin and thanked him again and again, and the orc bandits who surrounded them also got out of the way. The snow senior rode back on the white fox, but at this moment, the man who was drinking on the top of the mountain jumped down directly, and when he landed, he supported the ground with one hand, his legs were half squatting, and after standing up straight, he walked straight towards the snow senior.
After walking in, Lei saw the person's appearance clearly, this man was of medium size, with short hair, a little beard, and his face was full of vicissitudes, and he looked like he was nearly forty years old. He wears a waist-length cape, a sharp katana hanging from his waist, and a small sake bottle hanging from his left waist.
This man's name is Uda Yuki, and he is the boss of this group of bandits, and he is a human.
According to the previous plan, after the werewolf got the money, he immediately fled with his brothers, and suddenly, in the dim canyon, only Yuki and Yuki Senpai were left with their entourage.
It seemed that the comer was not good, and with a wave of his right hand, Senior Xue ordered everyone to step back, and then jumped off the back of the fox and looked at the man calmly.
At this point, the man spoke, his voice a little hoarse, but he could still hear it clearly.
"That person is a demon!" The man was straight to the point, straight to the point.
Lei Ze was at a loss, he couldn't understand what these people were saying.
"It's a demon, what's wrong?" Xue-senpai replied coldly.
"In that case, I can't let you pass!" Before he could finish speaking, the man drew half of his knife and took a sip of the flask in his left hand.
"Really?" Yuki-senpai was not in a hurry and put a layer of shield on everyone.
In an instant, the man pulled out the katana entirety and squirted a sip of wine on it. Then I saw him swinging his knife in the air a few times and writing the technique, and when he stopped, a raging flame burned on his knife.
"This kind of shield, I can turn it into garbage in minutes!"
Yuki threw away the flask and held the flaming sword in front of him, his legs squatting slightly, his eyes staring straight at Yuki-senpai through the flames.
I saw a flash of sword light, a flash of fire in the air, and the man's sword penetrated the shield of the snow senior. Fortunately, Senior Xue reacted in time and used the ice shield to block the blow. At this moment, Senior Xue was shocked by this man's sword technique, and his eyes widened with a shocked expression.
At this time, Yuki withdrew the treasure knife, jumped back three steps, and then erected the treasure knife in front of him.
