Chapter 144: The King's Wrath
Intramuros.
In the splendid palace, with four pillars carved with the heads of large golden lions, a group of lion men below lowered their heads, trembling, and listened to the king roar loudly:
"Why haven't they returned to the royal city to accept the reward?"
"Do they want to rebel!"
Wangcheng has been celebrating since the day of the defeat of Tomorrowtown, but the celebration has been too long.
The citizens waited every day for the army to triumph, and after waiting for a long time to hear the news of the army's return, even the ambassador sent to Tomorrowtown had the news of waiting a little longer.
Gradually, some profit-making nobles such as Anderson secretly spread rumors that the anti-lion faction was not dead, and the kingdom army was defeated and controlled by the anti-lion faction.
These remarks were suppressed in less than half a day after they were born, as if an invisible hand was suppressing these bad news.
But the king couldn't help it and roared loudly to vent his inner emotions.
"Why, why is the ambassador I sent there still lingering, is it possible that our army has all been defeated?" The king patted the armrest of the throne, and the lion's beard whirred.
The king glared angrily, his large mouth flanked by two sharp teeth.
Put it on Allen's side, call it Huya.
King Lionheart's face was still human, with two lion ears on his head, a broad face with long eyebrows, and a beard that inherited the thick blood of the lion clan, hanging all the way to his chest.
"Your Majesty, half a month has passed, and the victorious army of Tomorrow Town has not returned to Lionheart City to accept the reward, I am afraid that the news of the defeat of Tomorrow Town is false."
The king's henchman stepped forward, dressed in a splendid silk garment with a lion's tail hanging down.
The Templar on the other side rolled his eyes in disapproval, "Then tell me why the letter from the carrier pigeon says that everything is fine in Tomorrowtown, and the code used to communicate is not wrong." ”
The high position of the Templar ruler wore sumptuous gold-silk robes, and the lion's beard was dyed pale yellow with some kind of herb dye.
When they stood in the open-air hall, the sunlight shone on their beards, and there was a faint golden glow.
When the common people saw it, they generally bowed and worshipped, because it represented the golden light and was the noble figure of the temple.
Of course, the king was also an important ruler of the temple, and his lion's beard was dyed the most golden and shiny, and the slightest light would illuminate his beard golden.
"The pigeon is unique to the Temple, and the back feathers of its wings are dyed with a golden yellow unique to our Temple, a color that other pigeons do not have, and there can be no mistake."
"As long as the people are still there, of course carrier pigeons can be used, my question is that if they are captured alive and tortured with a code, will the letter we receive still be a useful letter?"
The lions quarreled with each other, and the question of the authenticity of the pigeon letter was hotly discussed, and they even roared loudly when they were not convinced, so that the hall frequently resounded with roaring sounds.
The orcs standing guard outside would cover their ears and hold down their hair at this time, adapting to the roaring style of the council officials.
Lionheart roared, and soon the king joined the roaring array and roared loudly at some of the lion.
Fortunately, the majesty of the king was still there, and everyone gradually calmed down after the roar.
"Recently, the glass factory in Tomorrow Town seems to have a new product, why don't we send some spies in Wangcheng to find out the inside information?" The lions propose a relatively moderated approach.
Why don't you just send troops to suppress the border, it's because Lionheart can no longer afford the attrition of a big war now.
If more than 4,000 people were really engulfed by Tomorrow Town, the subsequent war would definitely be based on 10,000 as a population unit, and Lionheart really couldn't afford to consume it.
Once a large-scale civil war starts, the Minotaur next door will be a qualified urine stirring stick and break through the level to show them every minute, and the Lionheart will be even more embarrassed at that time.
In the council hall, the anti-lion people had their eyes twinkled, believing that the best times had come.
"I think it's good, in the name of buying new goods, to find out the truth of tomorrow's town."
The anti-lion lion is talking, but they are already planning when to contact the remnants of the Lionheart Nation scattered throughout the country.
The anti-lion faction had secretly contacted the Anderson family and others in Tomorrowtown, and received a reply that they were amassing the wealth of the whole country, recruiting old soldiers, and preparing to destroy the royal city with advanced weapons in one fell swoop, and asked them to secretly cooperate.
In the letterhead, all kinds of codes also match, and it seems that the abnormal performance of Tomorrow Town is a temporary decision made by another orc of the anti-lion faction.
"So let's do it first." The king roared for most of the day, and he was tired, so he waved his hand to end the day's deliberations.
……
On the other side, the mining site.
Eren walked around leisurely, patrolling the group of lion soldiers from all over the town.
These lion soldiers have undergone minor surgeries, and since most of them are not awakened, and the Achilles tendon surgery is light, they will soon be able to work in the fields after being conditioned by special herbs passed down from the priests.
This combination of herbs contains some kind of biological factor that can be quickly repaired, and it is not possible to study it at the current level of biotechnology, so it will not be discussed here.
The powder-blue haired Windsor followed behind, her work content became more and more like a secretary, following behind to deal with all kinds of chores and approve documents, while Alan liberated the small approval work, and spent more time drawing drawings, writing teaching materials, and going to the school to teach people personally.
Occasionally, when I get tired from work, I go to the construction site to look at the old guys and have some fun.
"Hey Goss, did you dig a good mine today?"
Alan smiled and patted Goss on the shoulder, causing the latter's body to shake.
Goss turned around stiffly, squeezed out a good-looking smile, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Lord Allen, I'm too tired from mining, can you let me do some easy work." ”
"Well, I'll think about it." Alan groaned.
"No, Lord Allen, you can't do this, it's been thinking about it for two weeks, do you still want the Anderson family's code?" Goss stared at him.
Alan smiled and didn't respond, he had used a hypnotic trick to ask for various codes, as well as internal information about their family.
At that time, a large number of Cat Assassins listened on the spot and wrote them down in small notebooks.
Subsequently, the intelligence network organization with Tomorrow Town as the core sent intelligence to various relevant towns, saying that "they" were handling things in Tomorrow Town and would not return for the time being, and then they continued to order people to carry resources into Tomorrow Town.
Some cat-eared orcs have objections to this, isn't this a trick for others?
However, Lionheart's power is huge, and if it does not use all means to quickly gather resources, it will be difficult for Tomorrow Town to develop to the level of playing on an equal footing with the entire country.
At this time, the story of the Three Kingdoms of Orcs told by Eren came into play, and the power struggles, changes in the situation, and the fickleness of people's hearts in the Three Kingdoms made the cat-eared orcs also grow up and make a choice between their personal thoughts and the defense of Tomorrowtown.
It is impossible to play a round war between countries with one knife and one knife with me, once everyone tears their faces, they can use any kind of indiscriminate means.
Especially when millions of players land in a few years, it will be an era of population plunder, and whoever develops fast will have the hope of dominating the world.
