Chapter 243: Grimge's Temporary Submission
When the news of Grimg's death on the battlefield was added to by the orcs who had fled back into a thousand different versions, the farce-like aaaagh began to crumble, and nearly 100,000 orcs fled that day, and every day that followed, thousands to 10,000 orcs escaped. But there is no shortage of smart orcs in the orc group who want to be on top, he and her subordinates controlled everyone's thoughts at the first time, and were ready to turn around and find the soft persimmon of the dragon slayer family under the pretext of avenging Grimg, but the result was that hundreds of thousands of troops turned around and walked away for a day before being raided. The 20,000 troops of the White Dwarves, the 20,000 troops of the Butcher King, the 50,000 troops of the Prince of the Border, the 50,000 troops of the Belle Lord and the Dragon Slayer Family, plus the 60,000 troops of the Arsenal Fort led by Bernos, divided into five directions, the 150,000 troops attacked at night, and the battle was only two hours before the defeat was directly defeated, and there were still more than 400,000 green-skinned orc troops left to escape.
The command was chaotic, there were no elite troops, they fought separately, and so on, which caused such a result, but when the entire orc army was in a stage where it was about to be slaughtered, Grimge, with the help of Zhang Hao, miraculously appeared, and unfortunately lost when pretending to fight against the major legendary powerhouses, but he "moved" all the masters for the spirit of his subordinates who spared their lives, so he forced him to swear to the second brother Mao, and temporarily obeyed the empire in exchange for the lives of the remaining soldiers, and the image of Grimg was much taller in the eyes of the orcs.
That night, Grimug was forced to sign a treaty of ownership of the city instead of a treaty of defeat, the content of which was to return the Eight Peaks Mountain and the bottomless ladder and extremely affiliated cities, of course, these cities were not signed by Grimge, and they had already been taken back by the dwarves, otherwise what were the white dwarves and the butcher king and Lord Belle doing during this time.
When he knew that the two cities had been captured before the formal signing of the contract, Grimug immediately turned his face on this excuse, claiming that the aaagh was not over at all, so the next day he led a large army to surround the Arsenal Fort, and the result of this turning his face and not recognizing people was that Grimug was called a cunning monster by ordinary orcs, don't think too much, this is a compliment for the orcs, according to their words, "This leader is a bit aaagh!" Forehead...... It's just a bit aaagh! Got it? It's so cunning! ”
However, the siege was not so fierce this time, and it was fought for only four hours a day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, according to the reason announced by Grimmg, which was to consume the people of the city. After each siege, the orcs immediately "snatched" back the corpses of their dead compatriots, and then buried them in the back of the battlefield, waiting for the germination results, while the guards in the city were nowhere to be seen, except for the siege, they did not say a word, nor did they shoot an arrow, and let the orcs below move.
Of course, all of this is executed according to the script, in order to prolong the time of the final battle, Zhang Hao had to let Grimge continue to lead troops to attack the city, and the reason for convincing everyone to the outside world is to train new soldiers, and the Arsenal Fort changes its defense every half a month, all of which are converted by the passage to other cities in the Blood River Valley, and all forces on the continent except vampires participate in it. And the reason for Grimg is to increase the population, a plant house that grows after the death of an orc can give birth to at least five orcs, more than **, only from a young age, his position as a warlord can be secured, Grimg of course agreed. At the same time, Zhang Hao also asked him to provide tens of thousands of orc engineers to enter Aldolph, of course, the condition of the agreement was to give weapons and equipment, orcs to provide materials, and the empire's joint workshop will provide elite heavy armor for its 200,000 troops, but the delivery time has not been determined.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Hao immediately returned to Aldolf with the others, where there was an important engineering project waiting for him to provide advice.
————————
In a dark chamber in the deepest part of the Count's Court at Dunkenhof Castle, both Manfred von Kastein and Vlad von Kastein gazed worriedly at the crown that had been placed on a high platform and sealed with various purple magic runes.
"Do you think he's credible?" Vlad asked, somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Believe it or not, the Nicolachian family has long been extinct from this continent, if I hadn't seen this crown today, I would have to see them as a "fairy tale" story, tsk, I really didn't expect this group of wizards to leave such a thing, it's really incredible, why didn't they take him with them when they left? Manfred wondered.
According to the historical records of the Casstein family, with the Kastein family on this continent, there were five bloodlines living at the earliest, among which the blood dragon clan has merged with the Kastein family, which is now the Knights of the Blood Keep, they are both vampires, and the other three bloodlines are the Rybalas Tomb clan, the dead Trigo ghoul clan and the very small number of nicolach wizards. The time and reason for the departure of these three bloodlines from this continent have long been sealed in the torrent of time, and even the records of the Kastein family are not clearly stated.
When Manfred brought back the crown left by the wizards, he immediately called Vlad, and together they cast vampire magic, thus completely activating this crown, according to the remaining soul in the crown, his name is Sauron, is the ancestor of Nicolacci, and this crown is a inheritance weapon, whoever has it will get the help of powerful necromancy, but the condition is that he must accept Sauron's soul sustenance, and the two brothers can be happy to hear the first half, but after listening to the second half, they will be sealed directly without saying a word.
Those group of necromancers are not comparable to necromancers, their ability to manipulate souls is unmatched by anyone in this world except for the soul itself, Sauron dares to tell outsiders so directly, then he is not afraid of being eliminated, so, either accept the power and this soul body, or just use it as an ornament. Both vampires are extremely arrogant beings, with bodies that can be broken but souls that are never at the mercy of others. Those who study souls and death value their souls more than others because they know that the soul is the key to eternal life.
"Do we need to let that one know?" Vlad was referring to Zhang Hao, of course.
"No, of course not, this thing is placed here, maybe we will use it after the end of the war" Manfred refused bluntly, since the official friendship with the Empire, they have received a lot of news about Chaos, coupled with the analysis of the forces controlled by the Empire now and the preparation for war, they still think about the Chaos invasion simply, so they immediately gave up the plan to interfere with the Great War, and fully cooperated with the Empire. When the green-skinned orcs are completely subjugated, then the entire continent will be under the control of the empire, which is a situation that has never appeared in the continent, in the face of such a behemoth, Manfred still has self-knowledge, if you want to do great things, you must have a big pattern, in this regard, Manfred is several levels higher than Vlad.
"Looks like we're going to have to make up a little story for that greenskin."
