Chapter 1355: The Future of the Golden Bloodline
All in all, with a large group of stubborn orcs suffocated to death, all organized resistance in the Thunder Cliff Fortress came to an end. This also means that the half-year-long siege of the Thunder Cliff Fortress has come to an end.
After the city wall was breached, the orcs still resisted for most of the day despite the sudden "disappearance" of the top leadership, and they really deserved the title of a fighting race. However, it is precisely because these people are so fierce that such stubborn resistance is naturally slaughtered by the coalition forces in retaliation. By the time the coalition top brass really remembered that it was time to seriously restrain their soldiers, more than 50,000 ordinary civilians had been slaughtered, not counting the soldiers who died in battle, and those who surrendered but were killed by the insane coalition soldiers in retaliation.
Subsequently, in order to snatch the spoils of war in the Thunder Cliff Fortress, the soldiers of the countries also engaged in armed conflicts on a large scale. The main participants are the national army of the Black Earth Hills and the Dragon's Claw Peninsula, after all, their army is still extremely feudal, military discipline and military orders are just like that, once they kill the red eye, it is impossible to enforce the order and prohibit it. In comparison, the armies of the Federation and Vegia were better, but they were only as good as they were. Compared to the forces of Auckland, elves, and dwarves who did not participate in the slaughter and looting at all, of course, it is a bit conspicuous.
Here, Lu Xi had to admire. In terms of professionalism, these 5,000 cavalrymen from the Central Forbidden Army in Auckland are indeed the most disciplined troops in the entire coalition army. Compared with them, the Fourth Legion that he built by himself actually has a lot of immaturity - he has been absent for a while, and there are soldiers who have clashed with the army of the Henas blood clan in order to grab the spoils of war. One of them, a lieutenant colonel officer from a wealthy family, not only scolded the other party as "Kazan's remnant", "dirty bat", and "disgusting flying mouse" Yunyun, but also bravely crowned the three armies in the conflict, killing several blood clan officers on the spot, and also trapped a female blood clan officer with a spell, doing many indescribable things.
To Lu Xi's slight relief, this officer was not from his Fourth Legion, but from Aunt Pascal's Thirteenth Legion. Since it is not a descendant, Lu Xi's handling is very simple. So, when the head of this brave lieutenant colonel was hung on the flagpole of the battalion, the Union soldiers quickly understood the meaning of the order.
Artoria then began to send out a team of Nord royal knights to deal with the ongoing carnage and chaos in the fortress with thunderous means. Even so, by the time order was fully restored on the entire battlefield, it was already the next morning. Later, during the battlefield cleanup, at least more than 100,000 orc corpses were removed from various parts of the Thunder Bluff Fortress, as well as almost equal numbers of the rest of the race such as trolls, centaurs, and minotaurs. In comparison, the coalition forces did not have more than 5,000 casualties.
I thought it would be a legendary fortress like a meat grinder, but in front of the more legendary new generation of weapons, it was as fragile as an eggshell. Then, with the fall of the Thunder Bluff Fortress, the Orgrimmar Wasteland ushered in a new era...... However, before the arrival of the new era, Lu Xi still has to say goodbye to a certain "ghost" who has been worn back from the ancient era. Of course, this farewell has to be a secret. Otherwise, if you really want him to appear in front of everyone, that scene feels very chaotic just thinking about it.
"Oh, the old master has lost his authority, but the new master is still far away. It will be a time of turmoil and turmoil, and this vast land will be very interesting for a long time to come. ”
In front of Lu Xi, the scarred Ancient Beamon did not deliberately hide his ridicule. His meaning is actually very clear - the orc race has lost their army, king, gods, and country, and will be reduced to second-rate power or even slavery for a long time, and the Orgrimmar Wasteland will no longer be their sphere of influence. However, the conquerors who defeated them were not a single force or individual. After the fall of the common enemy, the so-called allies cease to exist. The gap between the nations that make up the coalition will be instantly enlarged, and the upcoming tear is destined to become a chaotic arena for the competition of various forces for a long time, and it will not stabilize for a long time.
"It's not bothering you, and I don't have to be responsible for Orgrimmar's future anyway, and neither do you." Lu Xi glanced at the other party and sneered: "Besides, this kind of thing is useless to me. If you could tell all the coalition top brass, you might be able to make a small difference. ”
"I don't have any intention of stirring up your relationship. In my opinion, it is a waste of time to understand the relationship between the state and the power that you have built up by talking about yourself. I'm just curious, short-lived races like you humans and orcs, although weak overall, are actually quite aggressive races. Sacrificing so many lives and turning the whole land into a grinding disc of flesh and blood, just for the benefit or glory of no more than a hundred years. Does it make sense? ”
"I think so. I also feel that most of the world's struggles are pointless. To you ancient golden, the interests and honor of mortals may seem vain and stupid, but the problem is that tens of thousands of years have passed, and short-lived mortals have taken over almost the entire world. The gods are gone. And where are you and your people now? ”
The Beamon Behemoth glanced at Lu Xi, determined that the battle of words was meaningless, and sighed faintly: "Yes, the fate and future of our race now depend on your own thoughts!" I sincerely hope that you will keep your promise. Since the beginning of our time, the casters of arcane spells have been disrespectful and disobedient to the will of God, believing only themselves. But because of this, you value your commitment and reputation more than others. ”
Obviously it is the legacy of the golden bloodline, it is obviously the "oath-breaker" who once challenged the fire god Hesa, it is obviously the paranoia that still maintains itself after struggling in Hell for 20,000 years, and it is obviously a "true man" who wants to kill the bloodthirsty king even if he is crippled, I didn't expect to know the current affairs so well!
The other party was so interested, Lu Xi said that he was very satisfied and decided to give the other party the respect he deserved, so he turned back and glanced at his friends. Bull walked over to a large cart - a large vehicle that could only be pulled by two Kodomons, and had been requisitioned by the Coalition to transport supplies. The Minotaur and Grantra opened the drape, revealing the large iron cage on the cart and the young Beamon sleeping in the cage. He was only the size of an adult brown bear, and by the standards of the Beamon Behemoth, he was of course a complete infant, but he had a snow-white fur that only the ancient Beamon breed of at least 10,000 years old possessed. It was not the colorless pale, but close to the color of the snow-capped mountains under the sun, bright but solemn, with a bit of mysterious purity in the majesty.
At this moment, Beamon, the "real man" who seemed to be able to never be shaken, finally could no longer hide his excitement under his ecstasy, and his behemoth body covered with scars began to tremble, and there was even more unbelievable trills in the rolling thunderous voice: "...... A natural royal seed, indeed a natural royal species! The great will to create has not given up on us! This is fate, hehehe, this is the fate that can never be captured! Hahahaha, Beamon will not be extinct, Beamon will not be extinct! Do the flags of rebellion against the gods, more than 20,000 years of imprisonment and torture, preserve a glimmer of life for our continuation? Yes, there is only a glimmer of life, woowoowoo...... That's enough! Totally enough! Thanks to fate! Hahahaha, thanks for everything! Beamon is immortal! Beamon is immortal! I'm alive, I'm alive, and we're not going to let the people end up in Ghsara. ”
He seemed to be crazy, crying and laughing at the same time, tears flowed profusely, and the tears that flowed from his eyes were clearly bloody tears. Lu Xi felt that if this continued, this guy might be overjoyed and sad at any time, so he said: "This child's hypnotic spell will be unsolved within twenty hours, you can take him away." It is best to live in seclusion deep in the mountains of Atlas and never be discovered. A hundred Beamons are a golden race that can intimidate a country, and they deserve to be worshiped as totems, but if there are only two left, it will definitely attract too many coveters. ”
"Yes, for the sake of the continuation of the race, we must live well. I have at least three to five thousand more years to live. Beamon stretched out his last remaining hand, opened the iron cage, and carefully carried out the sleeping young body, holding it on his claws, tenderly treating it like a fragile porcelain doll. Then, he glanced at Lu Xi deeply, turned his head, and began to run, followed by a vertical leap that directly crossed several peaks, and disappeared into the mountains. With such a huge body, it moved as fast as a gust of wind, but it didn't make a sound at all. The surroundings of his body were like a misty barrier of light and shadow, and if it weren't for a transcendent strength like Lu Xi, he wouldn't be able to capture the other party's location at all.
As a result, the world's last two heads, one large and one small, disappeared in front of everyone, without alarming the nearby fortresses and more than 200,000 coalition soldiers at all.
"We'll see them for about the last time. Oh, what a simple lady! Lu Xi said to his friends.
"Ma'am?" Artoria was taken aback. However, in addition to being surprised, she blushed and remembered to see everyone's reactions, and found that except for Hurricle and Nicole, no one else was calmer than herself, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"yes, that's a lady. If you see her fighting the bloodthirsty king, everyone may not believe it now. But this is Beamon! The most courageous golden race! Tempest laughed. She judges the gender of the other person by the nature of his life energy, which is the prerogative of those of extraordinary strength.
"Otherwise, how can it be said that it is a continuation of the race? It's a boy over there, so of course a lady is needed. However, it is a very beautiful lady, how can you think that it is a man? …… Uh, sorry, Lu Lu. Nicole said.
"If you don't apologize for this, I'll be more grateful, thank you!"
Elf princesses are judged directly by their looks. Well, human beings think that Beamon is similar to that of both male and female, but elves can see the obvious difference, this is an unscientific innate ability, and they can't learn it if they want to.
"But, but, that ancient beast...... Well, that lady, hasn't she been imprisoned for more than 20,000 years, even in Bimon's case, she is entering her old age. The age gap between this and this is too big. That's still a child! Artoria stammered.
"What do you care about? I thought you were trying to ask how the only couple should continue the group. Lu Xi said helplessly.
“…… Is this because they are golden bloodlines, the so-called perfect species? Sehireu asked.
Lu Xi nodded: "That's right." The so-called perfect golden bloodline does not exist in a state of aging, and the body's functions will only become stronger and stronger, and even in old age, it has the ability to give birth to offspring. That's why things like dragons, Beamons, Titans, mortal elven kings, and the longer they live, the more powerful they become......"
"Lu Lu, your statement makes the family very unhappy. What do you mean by 'something like that'? The only mortal elf royal descendant present couldn't help but protest.
"In addition, there are no genetic diseases or genetic diseases in the Golden Bloodline. Ordinary species, if their numbers drop to a certain point, because the gene pool is limited, and if there is no higher means to intervene, sooner or later they will become extinct. The Golden Bloodline does not have this problem. ”
"Well, I know that if ordinary people are too close to each other, there is a high possibility that the offspring born will be deformed or have congenital diseases. But, Lu Xi, what kind of gene pool do you mean by genetics? Is it a system theory in this area? ”
Lu Xi pretended not to hear it, and continued: "Therefore, for the Golden Race, the ethical problems that our mortal races have extended due to their own defects do not exist at all. For example, you see, in the previous days of the Mortal Elf Empire, there were many cases where the king and queen were brothers and sisters. Well, in extreme cases, there are even mothers and sons, fathers and daughters. What a mess......"
"So, it was all years ago. Why does Lu Lu always take our elves as an example! ”
"In short, as long as that lady lives for a few more thousand years, and when that little guy is sexually mature and gives birth to a daughter, then a few more times to play with Ellie or something, the Beamon family will be able to come back. However, during this period, any accident is likely to lead to the worst consequences. If they want to save their own people, they still have a lot of difficulties to overcome. Lu Xi said.
"The life of an individual is a difficult practice, let alone a race." Sesileu sighed, as if there were a thousand strands of sorrow and emotion. Don't forget that the dream of our student council president, Miss Travelogues, is actually a very literate in nature.
"Hey, whether they can get it back or not, it's unlikely we'll hear from Beamon again in our lifetimes. Thousands of years later, when they do come back, they will probably find that there is no other way out than to be honest living fossil mascots that have witnessed various eras. Of course, it is more likely that they will not have time to rely on the natural ability of the golden bloodline to breed the new Ding of the race, and all the so-called civilization forbidden areas in the world will be conquered by mortals. They may even be regarded as the last cherished species, and humans who are seen as weak are carefully cared for...... Heck, just thinking about the expressions on Beamon's face at that time makes me want to laugh. Lu Xi said.
The friends looked at each other, some of them felt that Lu Xi was crazy "again", and some of them felt that the future might be really possible.
"It seems that you have a lot of confidence in the future of this world, and the future of us mortals." Swift Wind smiled knowingly, subtly becoming more and more boss-like.
"In the final analysis, the world is still for the general public, and meat eaters like you and me, as long as they pay attention to their eating appearance, can also be at the top of the social level for a long time, and deceive themselves and others to convince themselves and others that their own existence is the foundation for making the world better and better. Well, if I can't even create such a future, then I should chop myself up and feed it to Sta...... Uh, anyway, that's not the point, it's better for both of us not to talk about this special meat eater's exploiting class villain dialogue in front of everyone, it's very annoying. You see, Artoria is already confused. ”
“…… That, I just think that Lu Xi's words seem to make sense at first glance, but they are a little obscure. If it could be written in detail, it would surely become the purpose of the rule of the kings and lords of the nations, right? If that's the kind of Lu Xi, the lords who don't accept your title of guardian of the whole territory of Ariel won't dare to say anything more. ”
This kind of truth will be explained by the people who will carry the red flag in the future. A little bourgeois like me is destined to be impossible to betray her class...... Well, your confusion seems to be getting worse and worse, so let's talk about something that you understand. Artoria, I let that little Beamon go, your dad didn't say anything, did he? ”
"It's a promise you made with that, uh, lady. Of course, the father would not object. Moreover, knowing that you teamed up with them to kill the Bloodthirsty King, he seemed to be quite emotional, saying that such a race deserves our respect. Now, knowing that they are no longer our enemies, it is also a proper respect to let them quietly retreat and recuperate. ”
Tsk, look at what you say is called a high-sounding one! You can only call this a favor, right? It's as if you're in the driver's seat.
In short, it is certain that Emperor Otto acquiesced in Lu Xi's treatment of Beamon. The latter originally thought that this was the official end of the matter. However, what he didn't expect was that the follow-up troubles of all that were just beginning.
