Chapter 175: The Road Ahead Full of Unknowns
And far away in the Silverwing Earl's Mansion in Phantom Moon City, Subaru shuttled through the flowers of the warbler and swallow with a wine glass, and every beauty who passed by would leave him with a meaningful look, and he would also blink ambiguously, now he is the most popular person in Phantom Moon City, and the remaining nobles are either too old or unattractive, and only he is the most popular.
Needless to say, the fleet was in trouble, and although they had airships leading the way, they had not lost their way, but now the ships full of fresh water and food had been swept away by the whirlpool, and now there were only seven days of fresh water and food left on each ship at most, that is, if they did not find supplies or reach the west coast within seven days, then only death awaited them!
There was no way to solve the crisis at sea, and there was a new development on the land, and after coming out of the border pass, the initial march of this group of soldiers was very fast, because it was a plain, and there was a flat river outside, and cavalry and carriages became their main mode of transportation, and the gallop of 100,000 people on the wasteland seemed to be huge.
The thieves from afar all heard the wind and avoided it, after all, these are elites, and those who dare to take this road are all masters of a hundred battles, after all, orcs and monsters, and elves are not easy to mess with, and they have no strength, let alone go to the city that never sleeps, whether they can get out of the wasteland is a problem.
The thieves will flee when they hear the news, but the orcs will not, the werewolf tribe scattered as a nomadic tribe is one of them, they are also the nails that the orcs sprinkle on the wasteland, and if there is any trouble, they will immediately report it to the imperial city, such as now.
"Goode, what do you think, now that a large number of human soldiers have gone out to fight, close to 100,000 soldiers and horses, it has a great impact on us. Although the intelligence shows that this is to deal with the city that never sleeps, and it has no effect on the orcs, we should not take it as if we didn't see it, after all, this is an internal matter of the human race. ”
As a member of the royal family, the current Beastmaster is a pacifist. Although it is hard to believe that the beastmaster of a tiger clan is actually a pacifist, but this is the case, since he came to power, there has been no large-scale raiding of the human border for three consecutive years, and everything is on his own, this is a phrase he often says.
It is precisely because of his character that the current human race no longer takes him to heart, after all, since you don't fight, then why should I guard against you! Of course, the border gates still need to be guarded. But it is not as strict as before, but there are very few business practices, most of the merchants are reluctant to come to this poor place, and most of the beast merchants who want to do business are despised and rejected.
Now the Terrans are passing by here, although they didn't say hello, but after all, they are considered to be Qiu without committing any crimes, since they are not threatening the Orc Clan, according to his ideas, let him go! But he was not an arbitrary king. So I called the most knowledgeable Goode to come over and ask for his opinion.
"My beloved king, I ask where they are going to attack. In addition to the orcs, there are those gray elves in Star City, could it be that they want to sneak attack the elf city? But this is obviously impossible, with the strength of the gray elves, even if our orc empire sends a large army to encircle and suppress, at most it is a defeat for both sides, where do they have confidence? ”
Goode wasn't convinced at all. Those Terrans will be the opponents of the gray elves, after all, the gray elves who are good at shooting, in the unblocked plains, have always been known for their powerful attacks, if it weren't for the fact that the wasteland is too big, there are too many orcs. The gray elves also knew that they could not dominate the wasteland alone, maybe the overlord of the wasteland would change his ways.
"Which country's emerging territory, where did you just come back, you know, I'm very entangled now, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have this idea, but at this moment I actually want to stop them, after all, the food and salt you brought back helped us get through the difficulties, if I didn't stop these people, my heart wouldn't go, but I can't, I don't want to bring war to my people, they have just been cultivating for a few years, I can't hurt them again for my own reasons."
The Beastmaster's words silenced Goode for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid we'll have to help the City That Never Sleeps, Your Majesty, get ready to snipe!" ”
"I know that His Majesty must have doubts, why do you want to help the city that never sleeps, it's not because we need the city that never sleeps, if the city that never sleeps has no hope of victory, then even if we need him, I won't be involved in the internal war of the human race, but I have absolute confidence that the victory in this war will be the city that never sleeps, we need him, so help at this time, the city that never sleeps will definitely remember this favor."
Good's words also silenced the Beastmaster, and in the end, there were only a few people left in the main hall breathing, and the Beastmaster frowned and thought for a long time and said, "Are you absolutely sure, the Sleepless City will definitely win, or will the Sleepless City win with our help?" ”
The easing of relations in the past two years made the beastmaster not want to start a war lightly, but the food, salt, cloth and all kinds of strange things that Gude brought back were all needed by the orc race, which could not be obtained by other human races, and the orcs could not lose such a place that they were willing to trade.
"Your Majesty, the city that never sleeps is not that simple, there is never a shortage of high-end combat power, as for the soldiers, they have those killing machines, they only need a few hundred soldiers to defeat ten times or even a hundred times the enemy of themselves, so even if we don't help, they will win, and after winning, we will be disgusted by the city that never sleeps because we didn't help him.
When the time comes, not only will we offend the city that never sleeps, but even the human beings who have already eased the relationship may be angry with us, rather than doing this, it is better to help the city that never sleeps now, at least we can get their friendship, the lord of the city that never sleeps is a very affectionate person, although he is a businessman, but anyone who is willing to be friendly with him will get his favor, so I built yìmajesty xià to help the city that never sleeps to fight this group of soldiers, don't be too obvious, as long as you harass along the way, it is best to pull the gray elves together, After all, in the wasteland, they are the real Grim Reaper. ”
Goode's is very fine and reasonable, the beastmaster can't help nodding, although his eyes are becoming more and more determined, one is relaxed, but it is impossible to be intimate, and the other is very inclusive, where can orcs live, and it looks extremely strong, the beastmaster also found how to choose at this time!
"Very good, Good, then you will be in charge of this operation, I will send another person to contact the gray elves, you only need to lead the wolf cavalry to harass them along the way to block the grain road, by the way, in order to avoid harming civilians and herdsmen, remember that the herdsmen near the battlefield let them move immediately, lest the humans who have lost their grain and grass will use their cattle and sheep as food and grass, and transfer the minotaur clan over, and there is no need to participate in the siege, but I need them to become the most solid wall to block the impact of those humans on the wasteland! Go ahead! ”
"It's Your Majesty, I won't let you down!" As soon as Goode received the order and left, he carried it out.
Then the march of the wasteland, which was supposed to be smooth, suddenly became difficult, the herdsmen that could be seen everywhere were gone, which was nothing, but every night someone would go missing, and the people sent out to find it would disappear, at first it was the disappearance of the squad and the squad, and in the end, even if the commander sent out a brigade of knights of hundreds of people, it was still the case, at this time even a fool should know that things have changed for the worst! The orcs finally got their hands dirty!
During the drinking party in Phantom Moon City, Subaru was already drunk and dreamed of death, and now the supermarket no longer needs to be guarded, during this time Akmund got Li Youran's order to stop selling a qiē item, knowing that the war is over, and when the time comes, Akmund immediately closed the supermarket, although there will be people waiting outside every day, and then they all live in Subaru's mansion, the supermarket is not safe, relatively speaking, Subaru's mansion is a good place to go.
"I hope Pierre arrives safely on the West Coast, but don't run into your enemies, I'm looking forward to it!" Taking a sip of wine, Subaru smiled wickedly.
The last time I went to the city that never sleeps, I vaguely saw a familiar person, but he didn't pay attention, after all, the age is a little old, what does that person say, can be regarded as his own predecessor, what he does now is what he did before, but now he is doing better, after all, there were no luxury goods in the city that never sleeps before, and he can be regarded as doing a good thing, isn't it, after all, he just offended a little kid back then, and was kicked out of the family as a result, and even in the end, the family was reduced to a third-rate family.
From this point he saw the ruthlessness of the king, the smash hit family back then, just because of a small mistake, the result was so unexplained degenerate, what offended the big family, all are excuses, if the king wants to protect a family, it is simply a very easy thing, but the king did nothing, he just watched, this family that had made great contributions to him was forced out of the core of power step by step, and then slowly sank. Sink.
So even though he was already a powerful minister favored by the king, Subaru was still very careful not to touch those things that were too dangerous for him, such as touching the interests of the old nobles, such as not competing for the opportunity to make meritorious service now, on the contrary, he also sent the children of those old nobles to the airship!
He wants to laugh just thinking about the satisfied looks on those people's faces! Go for it, go for it! Die! The king is hidden in his castle, he is old and decaying, but he has a great desire for power, and even his own children have been boiled to death by him, and the current prince is actually his grandchildren, and he needs to be on guard at all times, even if it is his own loved ones.
