Chapter Eighty-Three: The Establishment of Authority
"And they did." High on the mountain, two short and stocky figures stand on a high platform, surrounded by a low wall, and beyond the high platform is a bottomless cliff.
The lilac moonlight in the sky shone directly behind the two of them, and the moonlight confused their faces, making it impossible to see what they looked like.
"This kid from the Rheinreth family, I didn't see it in the past, but now I realize that he is so bold." A figure urn said angrily, "Much bolder than his father." ”
"To be bold is to be bold, but sometimes it's better to be cautious. And his courage is too great, let the orcs go alone, and leave with the soldiers, I really shouldn't say whether he is bold or brainless. The other voice was visibly annoyed, and he gasped.
"He's still young, or young people are like this, didn't you dare to break into the white bear's hole alone when you were young**? If it weren't for the timing of our senses, you'd have become a lump of bear dung a long time ago. He said.
"Ha....... make fun of me, brother," he said unpleasantly, "you stink so much more than I do, do you want me to say it, or do you want to say it when I'm drunk?" ”
"Alright," he said, waving his hand and changing the subject. "But they are our allies, and we have made a vow that when the Rhinehris family is in danger, we will fulfill our obligations as allies, or we will be abandoned by the Vulcan." He reminded him.
In this world, it is the most humiliating thing to be abandoned by the God in which you believe. And once abandoned, the outcast will never be believed in by other gods and become a faithless person. And those who have no faith are not accepted by others, whether they are humans, orcs, dwarves, elves, or other races, and they are the ones they despise the most, and they will be hanged at the sight of them.
"Hmph... I don't need you to remind me, Hammer. I know what I'm supposed to do. His tone was angry again, "I'll send troops when the time comes, but not now." With that, he turned to leave, and there was only the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away on the high platform.
He knew why he was angry, because he was very good friends with the late Baron Bolton, the death of Baron Bolton in battle made him full of dissatisfaction with the Empire, and Qin Feng's recklessness also made him feel a little angry with him.
But he also knew he would send troops, and he did it last time, although he ended up being busy in vain.
……………………..
On the high city wall, at every short distance, there was a blazing torch, the light of the torch illuminated the ground outside the city wall, and the soldiers patrolled back and forth on the city wall with weapons in hand, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Not far away, at the foot of the mountain, a werewolf scout crept forward cautiously on the snow, only to stop when he reached a bush. By this time, the shrub had long since lost its leafy leaves, and only the intersecting branches remained, and in the light of the fire, the shadows were imprinted on the ground.
The werewolf looked up cautiously and peered through the gaps in the branches.
This is not within the visual range of the city wall, but this is indeed a place that Qin Feng has specially explained to be guarded. Because this is the only road leading from the town of Boer to the surrounding mountains, it is from here that the barbarians of the White Bear tribe came down when they fled. In order to detect the situation of the orcs in time, this is a place that must not be missed.
Remembering Qin Feng's explanation, Will deliberately sent 10 soldiers to guard here. At this time, half of the 10 soldiers were wrapped in thick fur cloaks around the fire to keep warm, while the other half stood guard.
The werewolf looked at everything around him carefully, and then slowly retreated along the same path, until he entered the dark forest, and then slowed down and ran towards the mountainside.
In order not to be discovered by the people of Boertown, Theron and the orcs set up camp halfway up the mountain, and he strictly forbade the fire to be lit. So until now, Will didn't notice that the orcs who were supposed to be on the mountain had moved halfway up the mountain and were stationed right under their noses.
When the scout returned to the camp, another orc scout also rushed back, and he rode the white wolf, whose mouth was stained with blood, and after returning to the camp, he jumped off the white wolf's back and walked with him to the tent.
"What are we doing here, wasting our time, it's just a human town, do we need to be so gutsless?" Inside the tent, the gnoll general was yelling at Theron, who was sitting on the throne, ignoring that Theron was now their leader, and instead treating him as the human he could pinch to death.
Theron, who was on the main seat, looked calmly at the gnoll general who sat down and had no respect for him, and the werewolf on the side couldn't help it, curled his lips, revealing his long canine teeth and staring at the gnoll general viciously.
The gnoll was so frightened that he shrunk his tail, and his upturned ears hung down and stuck to his head. He dared to grin at Theron, but he didn't have the courage to deal with werewolves. Werewolves are known for their toughness and cold-bloodedness among orcs, not to mention him, even when Shadow Wolf was punished by Commander Orymar, Shadow Wolf's loyal werewolves attacked Oremar.
"Is this all your opinion?" Theron waved his hand and told the werewolves to step back, then looked at the various generals seated. What was special was that he deliberately glanced at an orc general sitting down, and he said in a cold voice.
As soon as the orc general wanted to speak, he was grabbed by the arm of a werewolf general sitting next to him, and when he looked over, the werewolf general shook his head slightly at him. Although the orc general didn't know why he persuaded himself, he didn't really have muscles in his head, and a little reason made him trust his friend. He sat back down and shut his mouth.
"No one agrees," Theron glanced at the Gnoll general, "and that's just one person's opinion?" ”
It was still silent, and the gnolls did not dare to squeak under the gaze of all the werewolves.
"Opinions are useless, as for why, I won't explain, you are my subordinates, my orders are what you should do, there is no need to doubt, there is no need to object, otherwise you don't want to know the consequences." He leaned forward with his hands on either side of the chair, staring at the gnoll with cold eyes: "This is your first time, but there will be no second time." ”
The gnolls were silent, not threatened by the werewolves, but really scared by Theron. He seemed to suddenly feel the murderous aura of the Grand Commander Orimar from Theron's body, the naked and undisguised murderous aura, and he let out a whimper, like a puppy's wronged whimper.
"Go down, take care of your subordinates, and don't let anyone get angry, and don't let anyone make a big fuss." Theron withdrew his hand and leaned back in his chair. "If your subordinates make mistakes, I will punish you."
The orc generals looked at each other, and then retreated one by one.
"Chief, the scouts have something to report." As soon as the generals retreated, a werewolf walked in again and said respectfully.
"Let them in," Theron said, stretching out his hand and rubbing his forehead, waving his hand, "Keep an eye on the surroundings, no one is allowed to come close." ”
"Yes, Chief." The werewolves retreated, and in a short time two werewolf scouts entered the tent.
