Chapter 140: Things Are More Serious Than Expected
"What is he going to do? What exactly does he want to do? β
Rhine was like an angry lion at this time, and according to the battle reports from ahead, the kingdom's army stationed on the border of the twilight forest was attacked by a large number of orcs, and the losses were terrifying. Elite armies loyal to the royal family were systematically routed and annihilated, and the defenses that had been painstakingly built after years of war were broken overnight.
It is no exaggeration to say that the hinterland of the kingdom has opened its doors to the orcs, and the twilight forest where the border garrison has been defeated Until the kingdom mobilizes a new army from the Red Ridge Mountains, this prosperous land that has been in operation for hundreds of years has little ability to resist the orcs. If the orcs rushed into the twilight forest and plundered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Previously, Rhine thought that such a situation was unlikely, after all, in his opinion, the orcs were a pawn of Ainan, to fight against the royal family's pressure on Karazhin. No matter how little or so little Ainan had with other nobles in the kingdom, no matter how withdrawn Ainan was, he was always a part of the nobility and would not harm the interests of the nobility.
In any case, the Twilight Forest is also the territory of the noble council, and as long as Ainan doesn't want to provoke the public, he won't be foolish enough not to restrain the orcs.
However, the truth slapped Rhine in the face.
After defeating the army placed by the Stormwind Kingdom on the border of the Twilight Forest, the orcs did not stop as Rhine thought, and they pursued the rout of the human army non-stop, and drove the large army directly into the Twilight Forest. These savage and bloodthirsty creatures killed and set fire to all the people they found along the way, but none of the human villages they found were not destroyed, and all the people inside were left alive after some looting and bloody slaughter, and finally the orcs would set fire to the ground.
According to the reports of the Rhine's war, more than twenty villages and towns have been destroyed at the hands of the orcs, and the civilian death toll alone has reached five figures. What's more, the orcs not only killed all the civilians, but even the nobles who didn't have time to evacuate.
Daring to raise a butcher's knife at a nobleman, the orc's actions seemed unimaginable to many, and made them extremely angry and terrified.
Make no mistake, it was the aristocracy, part of the ruling class, and the orcs killed them just like thatβwith their knives in their hands, they cut everyone down with a clean slash.
Is there still a royal law?
Is there still a law?
The nobles were furious.
They found that they were as helpless and vulnerable as the untouchables they despised before the butcher's knives of the orcs, and that their proud family affairs, their noble origins, and their illustrious family backgrounds were all useless, and the orcs trampled the nobility of the nobles into the mud with their savage rudeness, and turned them into the mud with the untouchables.
How can a dignified aristocrat be treated the same as those untouchables who are weeds on the roadside!
The anger of the aristocracy is burning, and they will not allow themselves to be left in the dust. If the orcs dare to treat them the same as the untouchables, then they will destroy the orcs.
Guys who don't follow the rules and try to break the rules of the game must be! Beard! Die!
If this were the case, Rhine would not only not be angry, but would be ecstatic. Let the Council of Nobles fight with Ainan, let these two forces fight, he will watch from the sidelines, whoever wins the royal family of Urion will benefit.
However, he was disappointed again.
The nobles of the council were not stupid, they could not do such a stupid thing, and they threw the problem to the Rhine for the simple reason that it was because the king of the Rhine wanted to do something to Karazhan that caused the Lord Count to push the orc as a pawn.
In other words, the roots of everything are in the Rhine.
If it weren't for you, Rhine, who wanted to save the face of the royal family and avenge the old king who was forced to become the old king by Ainam, how could you cause such an incident. Now that something is wrong, who are you looking for?
What the?
The lord of Karazhan, you say?
Please, people pushed the orc chess piece out just to protect themselves, and besides, we don't know him well.
The orcs caravaged in the twilight forest were thought by Rhine as nothing more than a ploy by Ainan to put pressure on him to give up the idea of dealing with Karazhan. The purpose is to use the power of the noble council to force himself so that he may submit to himself.
I'm the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, and you, an earl, want me to be soft, don't think about it!
Rhein decided to just face it.
Isn't it just a war, is it true that my kingdom has been in vain for so many years, it's a big deal that I will suspend the expansion of the Red Ridge Mountains and transfer the army to the front line of the twilight forest.
The king, unwilling to bow his head, made a decision, and in less than an hour, the summons team that rushed out of the stormwind fortress reached double digits.
"Our Majesty the King is mobilizing a large army, and more than eighty percent of the generals in the kingdom loyal to the royal family have received war ******, and it seems that the excitement on the twilight forest side will last for a long time."
Vortagan took a sip of his wine and told the great events of the kingdom in a leisurely manner that was lively and visible. Opposite him, a muscular adult man and a cloaked mage were looking at him and smiling.
The sturdy adult man looked at the mage beside him, "The Orcs have gone too far in the Twilight Forest, Karazan should restrain them." This is not only my will, but also the meaning of the council, and I hope you will convey it to us, Medivan. β
Medivan's face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak, and no one else could read his expression, only to hear him say, "I've been emphasizing since the first day we knew each other that the orcs have nothing to do with Karazhan. This savage race from the depths of the dark swamp is unimaginably destructive, cruel and murderous, and it is impossible for them to be friends with humans, let alone obey their orders. β
The sturdy man exchanged a look with Furtagen, and the former said, "This is a private conversation, please don't worry about it." You'd better think about what I'm saying, while it's good for us to weaken the power of the royal family, we can't watch the nobles die under the butcher's knives of the orcs. Or is Karazan no longer able to control the orcs effectively? β
Why doesn't anyone believe the truth?
Medivan replied in a helpless tone: "Your Excellency, what I said is the truth, please don't be blinded by preconceived prejudices. In fact, Karazan's army is confronting the orcs against the windwind trail, and I'm sure your men will get word of it soon. β
If the orcs were really the pawns pushed by the Earl, how could they attack Karazan, and if Medivan's words were true, wouldn't it mean that the judgment everyone had been making all along was wrong. Those savage and bloodthirsty orcs are not pawns, but invaders.
There was silence in the room, and it took a moment before Vortagan spoke: "It seems that the matter is much more serious than expected. β
