Chapter 108: There's a Quest for You!
This year's summer in Morondo was a rainy summer, and the Empire Avenue was a sight to behold, but now it was a mess.....
On the third day of the fall of Morondo, the Windwind tribe, under the command of their leader Holt, concentrated the population, food, and iron tools of the town within a radius of 100 miles to Morondo, and the crops that were not yet ripe were forcibly harvested, and those that could not be harvested were directly burned by fire.
At this time, along the avenue, all you can see is a scorched earth, and the Morondo Mountains, which have flourished for hundreds of years, have been trampled miserably because of an invasion, and the war... It's always been so destructive.....
At this time, in the city of Morondo, those newly captured people had not had time to react from the grief and anger of the destruction of their homes and the separation of their relatives, and they were whipped by these vicious orcs to thicken the walls with rammed earth day and night!
Because of its special topography, Morondo is a famous Xiongguan in the south to the outside, but it does not have so many precautions against the inner wall of the empire, and the city wall is far less majestic and solid than the pass, almost just symbolically made a decorative wall.
Such a wall may not be able to withstand a fireball from those arcane mages.....
In order to hold the city until the support arrived, Holt personally supervised the work on site, and in order to improve efficiency, even promised the newly captured humans that could complete the project within two days to be freed and allowed to take a captured child!
It is the rule of the grassland that the orcs do not kill children, and for countless years, no matter how hostile they are to humans, this rule has never been broken, at least in the mouths of those bards, the orcs of these big tribes still adhere to this rule.
So these desperate human beings rekindled their hopes, and worked hard day and night for survival, for freedom, and for their children who might still be alive!
This promise of the chief made many orcs in the tribe puzzled, and the orcs paid attention to glory, especially the head of the clan like Lord Holt, what he said could be described as a promise, even in the face of the enemy, these words could not be reversed!
"Don't care about these little things..... Holt smiled in the face of the doubts of his subordinates: "Compared with the big thing of being able to hold Morondo, these lowly human beings live or die irrelevantly, give them hope so that they can work hard, what we need to buy most now is time, not to dwell on the temporary freedom of these inferior species." ”
After a pause, he said to the shaman priest of the clan next to him: "I just received a message from the falcon that has infiltrated Codoville, and there seems to be no movement on the human side, according to the normal speed of human marching, it will take at least five days to get here from Codoville, and it has been three days since we captured Morondo, and their troops have not yet set off?" This seems to be slower than expected! ”
"This is normal, honorable chief!" The old shaman looked at the young chief with a gentle smile, and explained carefully: "Humans rely too much on magic, and their so-called arcane crystals rely on communication all over them, and they have completely lost the means to domesticate birds to transmit messages, and that energy storm has directly affected the energy magnetic field of most of the southern provinces, making their magic useless, and the news of the capture of Morondo did not spread immediately, which can be known from the fact that his subordinates captured the surrounding towns and towns, and those humans were completely defenseless. ”
"Does that mean the humans are still in the dark?" Holt's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"That's not it...."The old priest shook his head: "This operation is too hasty, we simply don't have enough troops to wipe out the human knights in Morondo, many knights have broken through and escaped, although the wolf riders who are tracking behind have chased and killed a lot from the Imperial Road, but there are obviously also successful escapes." ”
"Hmm....." Holt nodded when he heard this, but then said: "It is indeed two days slow to rely on people to transmit news, but Cordoville has not sent troops until now, so it seems too quiet..." ”
Seeing this, the old priest nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The chief is wise, the humans in this southern province are different from the north, because of the existence of Morondo, they have been comfortable for too long, which is also the main reason why we can capture Morondo so easily, the people here have no sense of war at all, and even once became the rear of some human knights, in this atmosphere, the city lord of Codoville naturally does not dare to act rashly in the case of unknown information, I am afraid that at this time, most of them are still afraid that it will be too late for us to attack them and arrange defenses, If you want to send troops, you must wait for the imperial capital to send troops to support! ”
"Komanr, you have a point!" Holt nodded approvingly: "He is worthy of being a knowledgeable old priest...."
"The chief is overrated...."The old priest smiled slightly, and was not surprised, as an old man of the tribe, his rank was even higher than the previous chief, although this chief was wiser than the generations of chieftains he had seen, but this did not mean that he would be complacent because of a compliment from such a figure who could almost be regarded as his grandchildren.
"Old priest, are you saying that the barrier in Cordoville is also invalid?" A burly orc with a piercing scar on his face interjected, "Then why don't we just take it there?" ”
Many orcs were scorched when they heard this, and it was too easy to take Morondo, making them realize how vulnerable these humans were without the assistance of magic, and at this time, under the expansion of self-confidence, as soon as they heard this proposal, they immediately moved.
The old priest frowned when he saw this, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the chief next to him and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! ”
"Our troops, taking Morondo by surprise, Cordoville is a city twice the size of Morondo, how can it be so easy to take under defense? Even if there is no magic assistance, it is not that our current forces can shake it, too much, are you joking with the fate of our people? Mondo! ”
The scarred orc called Mondo was reprimanded by the chief, and his face shrugged as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and muttered dissatisfiedly: At that time, everyone felt that taking a risk was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but now I say that I am taking a risk with the fate of the whole clan, and you big people really say everything by you....
"You bastard!" Holt was not angry because the other party was dissatisfied and complained, but glared at him amusedly, and then asked the old priest modestly, "Old priest, what do you think we should do next?" ”
The old priest glanced at the other party with satisfaction, and said that this chief of the Wind Tribe was the wisest chieftain, and he agreed with this sentence after this operation, the other party could run thousands of miles because of his own speculation, decisively attack Morondo, and also make a calm judgment based on defense when he won a huge victory, and the Wind Tribe really deserves to be prosperous with this chieftain!
"The chieftain's judgment is very wise, now it is true that we should concentrate resources, focus on defense, and wait for the support of other tribes in the rear to arrive before deciding on the next step, but I am more concerned about the mysterious clan power mentioned by the chief before....." The old priest's face was a little solemn and said: "At this juncture, there can be no chaos, although it shows that the beasts must help each other in the war against humans, but the agreement is an agreement, and sometimes I am afraid that some people will secretly do something!" ”
"Hmm....." Holt nodded solemnly when he heard this topic: "I have already instructed the following to step up precautions, and I will definitely investigate this matter to the end, so that the rat hiding in the shadows knows that the fish of our Wind Tribe are not so easy to touch!" ”
--------------------------------------
In the face of anger from hundreds of miles away, Xi Ye naturally couldn't feel it, and he didn't even have the telepathy to sneeze, of course, even if he knew that there was such a character, he wouldn't take it too seriously, just kidding, would the dragon care about the roar of ants?
Ahem... Although now this dragon can only hide in the shadows to develop.....
"Boss, I'm back!" The rain girl walked into the lord's room with a look of no energy.
"It's good to be back!" Xiye smiled and said, "The people over there didn't embarrass you, right?" ”
"No...."The rain girl shook her head: "I was arrested for testing, and if I couldn't find the problem, I was naturally released, our country's government is still very reasonable, I would not have worked so hard if I knew that your genes were encrypted...."
"You didn't ask at first, did you?" Xiye smiled: "There is a task for you." ”
"What's the benefit?" The rain girl was in good spirits.
The corner of his mouth twitched under the helmet of the night: "How can you ask about the benefits before you have done anything?" Are all your part-time workers so arrogant? ”
"No.... Isn't that my current boss? The rain girl sold Meng Meng without melons: "I've heard that many people in the base have become landlords, and the Lun family also needs local owners..."
"You can do this, you can do anything!" Waving his hand at night.
"That's good to say.... What's the matter, boss? The rain girl Wugua immediately said obediently.
"You go and pick two excellent rangers, find an arcane mentor to perform transfiguration on you, and pretend to be that human knight Robb and his noble women to go to Cordoville to find out information!"
