The minotaur shaman crawled away amid the laughter of the crowd. However, Lu Xi kept watching the other party's back disappear out of sight. He knew that this guy was actually a true warrior. In a group like orcs, which are reckless but thick-lined, and most of them only know how to do it for a while, such a figure is too rare. In many cases, fighting to the death does not necessarily mean courage. However, being willing to live with humiliation for a greater goal actually deserves such an evaluation.

Then, you'll soon find out that this great goal was just a flash in the pan of your imagination from the start. More and more people will be brought to their deaths. An impassable moat will stand in front of you, and no amount of orc life will fill this abyssal moat. At that point, unyielding will turn into despair. By that time, my bad taste ...... Ah no, my millennium plan is the first step.

Of course, the soldiers of the coalition army did not know that their own supreme commander was completely an evil snake spirit. All they know is that now that they have a city, they can finally take a breather. Thus, the coalition forces that occupied the Temple of Falling Blade and the surrounding cities began their first rest since entering the hinterland of Orgrimmar. We already know that the size of the city, which is at most the level of a small local town in Auckland, cannot allow nearly 50,000 Allied troops to live in the city to rest. In any case, with a city with relatively complete facilities and functions, even if you are camped, it will feel much more comfortable than camping in a bare and empty wasteland. Even if you want to make a fire to heat yourself and find fuel, it is much more convenient to tear down the house on the spot and run to a distance to cut the thatch.

And that's not the only thing that's been going to make everyone happy lately. After the large force had just stopped for half a day, as the next morning, billowing smoke and dust appeared on the northern horizon, the sentry had originally thought that it was another large force of enemy attack, so he raised the alarm. However, before the allied forces in the city could prepare for battle, the alarm was lifted. At this time, everyone has seen the true face of this team.

A formidable cavalry of 5,000 Auckland knights and 2,000 Wood Elf Black Panther Hunters finally resisted the predetermined position for the round. Judging from the state of the troops, although they were slightly tired, their mental outlook was quite radiant. Some of the warriors did have wounds, but they were still able to ride horses, which is probably not a terrible serious injury. In general, the losses of the troops were almost negligible.

What made everyone even happier was that the 7,000 cavalry turned into herdsmen at this time, driving 30,000 or 40,000 Rosa beasts plus nearly 10,000 Northland wildebeests to arrive.

The former is a herbivore the size of a sheep and an adult pig, with small eyes, an arched nose and large ears, plus a thick layer of fur. Like goblins, these animals have a stomach that can digest everything, turn over sand and permafrost, and survive with a little wilted plant. And then, its breeding ability is also good, even if it is not as good as goblins and kobolds, but it is also at the standard level of ordinary herbivores. This grazing and milking high-quality livestock is so perfect that its fur is the main warm clothing of the orc tribe, and it also provides more than eighty percent of the meat source for the major clans.

The latter, as the name suggests, is an animal that is very close to the wildebeest. But in fact, the size is much larger than the African wildebeest in Lu Xi's hometown, and it has the ability to produce milk comparable to that of a cow, and the food does not need to be so fine, but it is literally "eating grass produces milk". Of course, the taste of the milk produced by it is indeed astringent and fishy, which is too far worse than milk, but it is finally better than the large quantity. The various dairy products made from the milk of this Northland wildebeest are the main source of protein for ordinary orc civilians. This is the main use of the mother animal.

Don't be stupid, do you think that with the productivity of the nomads, everyone can really get meat to eat?

As for the male beast, in addition to being used for sowing, it is a rather high-end ingredient, and the meat is said to be chewy and elastic, but it does not look too old, and it has a different taste than beef. In Orgrimmar, only the best warriors and clan nobles are entitled to the delicacies of wildebeest.

"We annihilated two orc and centaur forces of about a thousand men in succession in the north, and then attacked a valley. It was a ranch of more than two hundred centaur herders and guards, plus a few vassal goblins and kobold tribes. According to the locals, this is basically the largest pasture in the Belka Hills. We brought out all the healthier livestock, and basically killed the rest. "The leader of the Black Panther Hunters, Lu Xi's childhood friend and big brother Carlofendale? Hawkeye explained to Lu Xi: "Although it is a bit cruel, but you have explained, let us fight the living force of the orcs as much as possible." In order to end the war as soon as possible, this must be done. ”

If half of the orcs can starve to death next year, then the whole continent will be stable for at least fifty years. However, this kind of politically incorrect thing should not be spoken, and it is enough for everyone to know it. Lu Xi nodded while thinking: "Making the enemy suffer and making others happy, this is actually the true meaning of war." You're doing it right. ”

Speaking of this, the two of them suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They actually grew up together...... Ah no, one party looks at the other party's good friend who has grown up, but at this time, except for business, I don't know what to say for a while. This scene is actually quite embarrassing.

In other words, is this the price of growing up?

Lu Xi looked at the other party and couldn't help but scratch his head, and the handsome elf black panther leader couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and scratch his scalp in the same way. The two looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds, and then they couldn't help but laugh. Although everyone still didn't know what to say, the previous embarrassment and alienation were naturally gone.

That's how it should be! Is my dignified Lu Xi's protagonist a friend who is the kind of mediocre person who is ashamed of alienating his friends because of changes in status, power, and life experience?

"If it's the most 'reasonable' treatment, it's best to kill all the livestock. So, you want to bring them all here to deliver a snack to everyone, right? Lu Xi asked in a more casual way.

"It's for you to get a meal! In terms of appetite, when have you ever wronged yourself! Hawkeye said loudly. Well, both of them understand that even if the gap in status objectively exists, the tacit understanding of the year has returned.

"What's more, if you loot the largest ranch in Belka. The reaction of the orcs should have been expected, right? Lu Xi asked with a smile.

"Yes, we had just left the ranch when we were met by an orc force that rushed to the rescue. There have always been about three thousand centaur assaulters. But we had already prepared, and the Knight Captain of Kuradi led the lancers and charged them from the flank, taking them by surprise. Count Ricard's words were tinged with arrogance.

"They were very heroic." Knight Kuradi long.

The Knight Captain of Kuradi was a middle-aged general of medium stature, but very imposing, and was the commander of the 1,000 cyan lancers. He was a typical soldier, somewhat taciturn, but when he used his soldiers, he was as fierce as fire. The combat power of the 3rd order of gold is just ordinary in the eyes of an extraordinary monster like Lu Xi, but it is definitely a fierce general brother on the battlefield. The implication of his words was that the centaurs, though heroic, were not their own place, and although they only said one word, they were far more proud than the knights.

A thousand heavy knights charged at an enemy three times their size, and in just one round, they directly destroyed the opponent, but none of them were killed, and only a dozen unlucky people were slightly injured. The combat effectiveness of the most powerful ace of the Forbidden Army Knight, the overlord of the continent, Auckland, can be seen from this.

"However, the scale of the enemy forces coming one after another is not small. The scout owl has already been scouted, it should be more than 30,000 people, and the main force should be the main force of the centaur blood bannermen, as well as the El Alamein troll legion. Of course, with the large number of goblins and kobold armies that served as minions, the number could not be counted at all. Hawkeye said again. The best Black Panther Hunters are also masters of elven detection magic, and they can turn every grass, tree, flower, and tree into their own eyeliner, so of course they take over the reconnaissance work of the army as a matter of course.

"It's so fast, it's so fast that it doesn't look like a clan society. Well, however, the Centaurs' Blood Banner Army and the El Alamein Hunter Legion are both Order's armed forces under the command of the Bloodthirsty King, and they are directly managed by the Shamanic Order, so it is not surprising that they have such an organization. Lu Xi said: "They should have heard that we were close to the Weize Wetland, and they rushed over to help, right?" ”

"Yes, if nothing else, they may only get the news of Thor's defeat and death and the fall of the Temple of Fallen Blades now." Merry Hill Road.

"With our strength at the time, it is not impossible to let the knights charge on all fronts." Ser Tyrrell said in a haughty tone. Even if you know that the enemy's strength is likely to be dozens of times that of your own (even goblins and kobolds), you still have the pride of daring to fight when you see the enemy and will win the battle, which is the pride of the Auckland nobles.

“…… However, in this way, the loss cannot be estimated. I, we really don't have to bet that way. So, therefore, I ask you not to fight, but to withdraw and make peace with your main forces. The nominal commander of the Auckland army, His Royal Highness Prince Tomman looked at Lu Xi with some expectation and nervousness, and said cautiously. Well, this good herbivore boy is quite a variety of the Auckland aristocracy, but the odd species can be found everywhere. We have to understand that.

"You're doing the right thing! Tommen. Lu Xi praised frankly: "Every knight is a noble warrior, there is no need to risk dying with a group of fanatics of the Bloodthirsty King!" It is the honor of a soldier to fight when he sees the enemy, but knowing when to fight, choosing the right time to fight or not to fight, is the merit of a leader. You're doing the right thing, Tommen. ”

Tomman looked at Lu Xi with emotion, it was probably the first time since he was a child that he was praised by such a heavyweight! Looking at it like that, my eyes are about to turn red again.

"Thank you, brother!"

Don't call me that!

"And then they've been following you?" Lu Xi asked again.

"I led the Panther Hunters to give them a head-on attack and take out the Scout troops in the vanguard. There is a certain deterrence of the enemy army. They stopped for nearly half a day, and then followed, but the pace of the march naturally slowed down. Hawkeye said.

"With an army of goblins and kobolds who don't know how many, it's strange that they can get up quickly." Lu Xi said: "Of course, you are driving tens of thousands of livestock, and you won't go too fast, which is half a catty." ”

Elves are originally a race that is good at communicating with animals, and although Auckland is a professional soldier, many of them are actually herdsmen, and they are still quite good at driving animals. Seven thousand men driving nearly 50,000 large and small animals would indeed greatly slow down the march, but no matter what, it would certainly be much better than the unorganized kobolds and goblins. After such a chase, the Aucklanders and elves had already arrived at the Temple of the Fallen Blade, but the orc army was still behind for more than a day to eat ashes.

"They should get word soon that we're together. However, the loss of the dojo belonging to the Bloodthirsty King is enough to allow tens of thousands of orc clans to survive the winter in our hands, and a group of fanatic cult troops and the coalition of small clans that have arrived from all over the country, no matter how uncertain they are, it is still impossible to turn a deaf ear to our mortal enemies after all! When what I did yesterday comes to the other side with the news of the escaped Minotaur children's shoes, I will surely establish their resolve, right? Lu Xi smiled: "At that time, even if it is the order of the Golden Horde, it probably won't make them change their minds, right?" ”

"The Golden Horde Khan Asog is now far away in the Thunder Cliff Fortress to confront Emperor Otto, and I am afraid that even the news that we have crossed the Blood Rock Ridge is only now available. Even if he wanted to do something, it was completely too late now. ”

Heck, it's going to be very refreshing to be embattled, right? Even I couldn't help but bow to tears of sympathy for poor "Dragonheart" Asog.

"The scouts just now reported that the enemy army was still approaching, and some of the scattered remnants and clans were joining in to continue to build up their forces. At the pace of their march, we were still about three days away. "We have plenty of time to recharge and recuperate. ”

"Very good, I like this wait the most! The order goes down, and the three armies will be feasted tonight. The only liquor is inferior soju seized from the Temple of the Falling Blade, but not a lot of it, and of course, the meat can be managed! Lu Xi said to Hawkeye: "Thank you for your selflessness, Brother Ka!" ”

The elves smiled wryly, the most meat in their recipes were eggs and dairy products, and the animals that had been driven over so hard were equivalent to selfless dedication to their allies. Of course, the Nightblade Panthers can have a good meal because of this.

"Great! This is the best news I've ever had since you were abducted into a thief ship. The bearded little dwarf princess Emosalla clapped her hands. If there is meat and wine, the dwarves will feel happy. Of course, it would be happiest if there was a mine that satisfied their desire to dig.

"It's not a thief ship. These days are empty, so you can actually do some preparations. Lu Xi took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Miss Dwarf: "This is an ancient document from the dark room of the temple. If there is no mistake, there should be a large mine of the ancient Gertha Empire in the mountains half a day's east from here, rich in fine iron ore, peacock steel, and all kinds of gem mines that accompany it, and the reserves are huge. At the time of the demise of the Gelsas, the veins were far from being exhausted, and it is said that not even a third of them were dug up. Unfortunately, the mining conditions there are very difficult, beyond the technical level of the orcs, so it is so deserted, but it should not be a problem for you. In addition, near the mine, there is an even more huge reserve of obsidian mine, mainly obsidian and obsidian corpses, so this is the first payment I paid to the furnace castle, right? ”

"......" Miss Dwarf was stunned, took the sheepskin sheet blankly, looked at the mess of ancient Gelsawen on it, and was speechless for a while.

"It's not good to say that the remuneration is not good, and you look like mercenaries I hired, so it should be a proof of my sincerity, right?" Lu Xi said with a smile.

"Huh...... Lu Xi? Belencaster, you look like this, but you're as sharp as a dwarf! "Dwarves are a very self-confident race, and in their culture, complimenting each other "like a dwarf" is basically the highest compliment. Of course, it may sound a little unpleasant to others. Miss Amosalla put away the sheepskin with a smile, and said, "Tomorrow I will send an engineering team to set off, and if the reserves are really huge, I can probably choose the place where the city is dug as well."

Well, you dwarven cities have been "dug up".

"However, is it reasonable for your country's high-level officials to hand over such strategic resources to us so casually?"

"I still know a little bit about the style of the country. As long as you control the mines, they won't have any reason to make trouble again, at most they will stab my little paper figure in the back. Oh, anyway, I didn't expect my image in the minds of the higher-ups, so of course it doesn't matter. ”

In short, the ownership of the largest loot near the Temple of Falling Blades was so happily decided. In the minds of the top brass of the coalition forces, the enemy army that was rushing in was not a problem at all.
