Chapter 78: Blood Sacrifice to the Blood God, Skull Sacrifice Skull!
Stone led almost all the troops of the tribe out of the nest, sprinkled with nearly two thousand green skins, and followed the foot of the mountain all the way east, past the northernmost pass of the territory, and continued on until it entered the famous Rabid Dog Trail.
The mountains on the edge of the world stretch for thousands of miles between the Old World and the Dark Lands, preventing the former from communicating and colliding with other human kingdoms in the Far East.
For a long time, humans in the Old World thought that the end of the eastern world was these undulating, continuous mountains, hence the name of the mountains on the edge of the world.
However, with the unremitting efforts of countless explorers, merchants, and dwarves living in the mountains, even the tallest mountains have been conquered by mortals, and even the most insurmountable natural dangers have to bow down to the feet of civilization.
After thousands of years of exploration and exploration, four passages have been discovered that run through the entire edge of the world's mountain ranges, becoming a bridge between the old world and the eastern continent.
Driven by profits, countless caravans traveled between these mountain routes every year, bringing Aurora silk, porcelain, tea, Indy spices, and Nippon silver from the east, and then returning the same way, bringing the textiles of the Empire, the wine of Bretonnia, and the furs of Kislev to the Far East to sell, earning a high price difference and becoming a communication channel between the two closed worlds.
Even though more and more caravans began to choose the sea route with the development of seafaring technology, many people still chose to travel through the mountains on the edge of the world to the other side of the world due to the elusive pirates and elusive climate.
In this context, the importance of these four passages is self-evident, especially when the southernmost Death Trail is controlled by the savage greenskins, the remaining three passages are particularly precious, and mastering their power is like sitting on a mountain of gold every day waiting for gold to fall from the sky, and making a lot of money.
These three passages are the Pinnacle Trail to the north, the Silver Road, and the Rabid Dog Trail, where the stone is currently located, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
When it comes to safety, the first two are the first two, as they pass through the two most famous fortress cities of the dwarves, the dwarven capital of the High King, Karazar a Karak, and the butcher king's domain, Karak Kadrin.
However, it is not easy for the old-fashioned and stubborn dwarves to pass through their territory, and even the most well-connected Imperial caravans have to pay high tolls, not to mention other countries.
On the other hand, Fetanburg, located in the Rabid Dog Pass, charges a much more conscientious fee than the dwarves, but there is a problem with the fact that there are many bandits around the Rabid Trail, including desperate human bandits and roaming green-skinned bandits, which greatly increases the danger.
Even so, every year, many chambers of commerce, for various reasons, either organize convoys or hire powerful mercenary groups, choose to pass through Fetaburg and go to the far east to pan for gold.
As a result, this small city has become more and more prosperous, and it is also the most important reason why it is regarded as a thorn in the side of other forces, and there is no one.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
Every day is a good place to eat and drink spicy, and others can only watch with their eyes open, don't come to pit you.
Therefore, in the opinion of the stone, if you want to find a foreign force to cooperate with in the border prince's territory, Fetanburg is the best choice, it is inherently irreconcilable with other human forces, as long as it occupies the rabid dog pass for a day, it will not be peaceful for a day, not to mention that they are still the descendants of the Arabis, and the heretics in the eyes of others are already a miracle that they can occupy this place for so long.
This was also confirmed by the news from Rep, and when Fetanburg appealed for help, the other human towns to the west, whether it was the nearest Arsenal Fort or the most powerful of the cities, Zareth, refused to send troops, leaving them alone to resist the Beastmen's attack.
It is said that when the lord of the city, Matthew Halifax, received the news, he was so angry that he announced on the spot that in the future, as long as it was caravans in these places, they were not allowed to pass through his own territory.
This attack of the beastmen came so suddenly that even he himself was a little apprehensive, otherwise he would not have lowered his face to beg those infidels, he knew in his heart that if there were no reinforcements, although Fetanburg could hold it, it would definitely be greatly damaged.
Although the economy is strong, due to the continuous attack by the greenskins, the strength of the city has been weakened a lot, whether it is to repair and strengthen the city walls, or to re-recruit and train soldiers, it will take time, but at this time, a large group of beastmen ran out, which really caught him off guard.
Just as Matthew was anxiously directing the city guards to defend, the head of a mercenary group in the city suddenly asked for an audience, bringing a piece of news that made matters worse, and along with this bad news, there was also a strange-sounding proposal.
…………
The Minotaur "Hoof Splitter" Craigie has been very agitated lately, and since leading his men over the mountains and mountains to the edge of the world, he has had to follow the will of Lord Dark Omen, carefully hide in the woods, and must wait until the great Chaos Moon has risen thirty times before attacking the human town.
Seeing a bustling town and not being able to destroy it with his own hands is a supreme torture for the bloodthirsty Craigie.
Fortunately, they met a hundred Chaos Dwarves on the way here, vented a little through a bloody slaughter, and obtained a dozen barrels of good malt beer, otherwise he would not have been able to hold back for so long.
In addition to the torment of waiting in place, he was also very angry at the unruly centaurs, who had left the ranks and returned to the gloomy forest on the pretext that they wanted to bring their captives back to the tribe and sacrifice them to the lustful chieftain.
Craigie said that when he returned to the forest after breaking through the town, he must settle accounts with them, especially the leader Howells, who must pay the price of blood.
Fortunately, this difficult day finally came to an end, and when he counted to the thirtieth time against the dark green moon, he immediately gathered a few of his great horned beasts and asked them to lead their own people and the Chaos Mastiff out of the dark forest.
The hideout chosen by Craigie was only about half a day's journey from Fetenburg, and when the sun rose again, they could already see the prey bathed in the morning light and exuding an alluring aura.
This human town is nestled between two large mountains, with cliffs on the left and right sides, and only a straight and narrow mountain road leading to the city gate, which means that by the time the beastmen appear on the mountain road, it has become a real island, and all the inhabitants of the city, regardless of status, have become caged rats, and there is nowhere to escape.
Craigie didn't want to wait for a moment, as the wall in his sight drew closer, he seemed to have seen the frightened faces of the guards above, and heard all kinds of cries mixed with despair and fear.
What a wonderful and beautiful sight it was, it boiled the filthy blood in the body of the "Hoofsplitter", he could see how prosperous this unsuspecting town was, he could imagine how magnificent the next killing feast would be, as long as all the houses were burned to ashes, all the humans were killed, and their heads piled up into mountains, the great evil blood god would definitely notice himself and give him even more power!
Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice skull!
