Chapter 81: Temporary Alliance
Yuan Mu and Amelia, Utga, Mara, and the troll hero Zu Wu? Tree Shadow and a dwarven hero led several squadrons of troops to the territory of the original Tree Shadow Village.
Many of the trees here have turned yellow, the vegetation on the ground has begun to degrade, exposing the land and turning the moist land back into the Gobi Desert that it was a long time ago.
Only the remaining natural wild creatures lost their hiding places and fought with some barbaric creatures that Yuan Mu had never seen.
These savage creatures walk on the ground like humans, but they are like big human birds. It is covered in feathers, its wings have turned into sharp claws, and it has a bird's head like that of a roc. Yuan Mu discovered that they were a race called the Peng people.
"There is a strong aura of magic here, and the barbarian troops will fight more fiercely in this aura." Although Amelia was a priest, she still felt this breath, and it was too strong.
Yuan Mu also saw that these Pengren had a state called 'Grulock's Breath', which could reduce the damage taken by the barbarian troops and speed up the recovery of wounds.
"Follow the source of this magical aura and you should be able to find the special building that Arnold has built, Amelia, can you feel it?"
"Yes, but I don't think we'll be able to beat Arnold, there are so many strange creatures here."
Amelia had also studied the information about Arnold, and their forces had little chance of winning against Arnold.
"We should find the main force of Waterfall City first, and Zuma? Shadow's troops, this is his area of control, and I've sent a message to them with the Fast Bird. ”
"Zu Wu, can you take us to find them?" Uthga asked the troll hero.
"I'm doing my best, there's changed so much here." Zu Wu Shuying replied.
Seeing that not only did he destroy Tree Shadow City, Arnold also wanted to turn this forest into the Gobi, Zu Wu? Tree Shadow also regains his vengeance.
Yuan Mu reminded: "Be careful of the enemy, there are not only Arnold's troops here, but also other barbarian troops. ”
Found Zuma? The shadow of the tree went unexpectedly well, so to speak, Zuma? Tree Shadow is actively looking for them. What surprised Yuan Mu even more was that in Zuma? Beside Shuying's troops, there were some troops, they were not the troops of the natural department, but the troops of the sheep-headed people and Gaoge Village that Yuan Mu knew.
"Lord Zuma, why are they with you?"
Yuan Muke participated in the ambush of Zuma by these barbarian troops? The battle of the Tree Shadows, I never imagined that they would suddenly become allies.
"It's up to me to explain this matter to Lord Yuan Mu." The sheep-headed Gagemu also had a heavy face, "I suggested that the city lord of Zuma unite, and now our common enemy is Arnold, and time is short. ”
"Aren't you Arnold's lackeys?" Zu woo? Tree Shadow said, "And you also participated in the attack on Tree Shadow Village, which is unforgivable. ”
Zu woo? Although the shadow of the tree was scolding Gegemu, his eyes were looking at Zuma. Zuma? Tree Shadow Seeing Zu Wu? Shadow was also surprised, and Utga explained it to him briefly.
Zuma? "Of course I hate these people who attacked Tree Shadow Village, but I don't want this forest to become a Gobi, and I want to rebuild our city on this land. ”
Zu woo? The Shadow of the Tree just snorted coldly.
"You're not done!" On the side of the Gaoge village city lord Shi Mao? Gao Ge suddenly shouted, "Old man Gegemu, you persuaded me to stay, if you still make such a noise, I should take my troops and run away first." ”
Yuan Mu also said: "Gegemu Wizard, then please explain first." "Utga also appeased Zu Wu? Tree Shadow, they need to know about the situation here.
"Actually, the sheep-headed tribe and Arnold should have been enemies from the beginning, and Kokar and I have the same purpose, and Mara knows our friendship."
Yuan Mu had already heard Mara say it, and now he could confirm it, and Mara had confirmed it to others.
Utga asked, "Then why did you follow Arnold's orders to attack the Ancestral Forest?" ”
"You're Utga from Wildpaw Village. Don't get me wrong, attacking the Ancestral Forest is also the purpose of Kokar and me, and Arnold is willing to do this, of course we will cooperate first. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zu Wu? The faces of the tree shadows and the dwarven heroes immediately changed, even Zuma, who already knew? The shadows of the trees are not good-looking.
The dwarven hero lifted the silver hammer and said angrily, "Then we have nothing to talk about with the enemy. ”
Silverhammer Village has been damaged so much that the dwarven heroes have nothing but disgust at those who attack the ancestral forest. He also thought that Gegemu would say that it was forced, so he could still consider the matter of the union.
Gegemu just looked at Yuan Mu and Utega, but it was Shi Mao beside him? Gog shouted: "If you don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's withdraw early, and you can deal with Arnold yourself." ”
"Listen to him first." Yuan Mu said solemnly.
The dwarven hero was still angry, but he put the hammer down and stopped talking. When he came, he promised to obey Yuan Mu's orders, and he had no disrespect for Yuan Mu.
Seeing that both Gege Mudu fell silent and continued, "Kokar and I both want to use Arnold's power to deal a blow to this forest. Although Arnold is strong, he has no roots in the Gobi, and we want to wait for Arnold's troops to suffer heavy losses before taking action to receive the results. ”
"Hehe, you're so calculating, now you've found out that you've miscalculated." No one spoke on Yuan Mu's side, Shi Mao? Gao Ge sarcastically said a few words to Gegemu.
Gegemu glared at Shi Mao? Gog. Gegemu is a level 4/level 4 hero, Shi Mao? Gao Ge was only level 1/3, and when he saw that he was annoyed by something, he laughed twice.
"Old man Gegemu, you continue, you continue."
Yuan Mu also looked at Shi Mao? Gaoge, this goblin has such a low level and such a cheap mouth, how did he become the city lord of Gaoge Village, shouldn't he have been hacked to death a long time ago? Yuan Mu saw that his natural skills were also very average.
"We wanted to wait for Arnold to make a mistake, but Arnold seemed to know what we were going to do and didn't give us a chance. He sent all the troops of Black Rock City to support the other barbarian forces, and he went it alone and rarely participated in battle. Now we know that he had been secretly preparing for the construction of Grulock's palace. ”
"Grulock's Palace, is that the name of that particular building?" Yuan Mu asked.
"Yes, do you know the story of this forest and the Gobi Desert? One of the Barbarian Ancestors is Grulock, a Roc hero who has half stepped into the legend. ”
Yuan Mu had already told Amelia about the origin of the Ancestral Forest, and Utga had long known that the dwarven hero and the ancestor Wu? The shadows of the trees are not clear. Zuma? Tree Shadow didn't know at first, but Gegemu had already told him.
The ordinary Roc is only a level 4 class of the Barbarian system, but there are many high-level Roc troops, and Grulock can actually advance to a hero and is about to enter the legend. Selieborn has said that legends are rare everywhere.
"Arnold is resurrecting Grulock, so why are you going against him?"
Utga doesn't know Gegemu and Kokar? Bloodlines' thoughts, Wildclaw Village is one of the forces that want to resurrect that natural legend.
"Hehe, you probably don't understand our way of living, and Kokar and I don't want such a strong man to suddenly appear to rule us. These barbarian ancestors were the overlords of the Gobi at that time, and they were not benevolent elders. I think it's better for you to be mindful of that, and I don't want a legendary creature in my neighborhood to pop up, even though it doesn't seem like a question right now. ”
Utga retorted, "The natural creatures of the Ancestral Forest all exist because of her, and we have nothing but reverence for her. ”
"If you think like that, others don't necessarily think that way. Moreover, we sheep-headed people and blood-streaked centaurs have lived in this Gobi for no shorter time than them, and they are not comparable to you natural creatures who appeared later. ”
Yuan Mu asked, "Since you are against resurrecting those ancestors, there should be someone who supports resurrecting them?" Is Arnold their representative? ”
Gegemu replied with a sneer, "A long time ago, some forces tried to resurrect the ancestors. But now the forces that support the resurrection of the ancestors have long been cleared in the Chaoho Gobi, and even this matter has long been deliberately buried. Arnold obtained this quest in the mountains to the south, just like the founder of Black Rock City. ”
"Black Rock City? So the last time we fought with Black Rock was because of this? ”
When Mara heard Gegemu talk about Black Rock City, she remembered the great battle that swept the entire Gobi Desert, and asked Gegemu about it.
"What's in the mountains to the south?" Yuan Mu was more interested in this.
"The children of those patriarchs, they are the backbone of the resurrection of the patriarchs. After the defeat of the Ranhoi Gobi, they fled to the mountains to the south, where they established cities. They still hold some of the power of the legacy. ”
"I've heard that there is their palace to the south." Yuan Mu listened to what Seliborn said. The palace is not easy to build, in addition to the noble people in the Hero Continent, only high-level creatures have the ability to build it, and everyone else looks at Gegemu suspiciously.
Gegemu glanced at Yuan Mu unexpectedly, and was silent for a while before saying, "There is indeed their palace, I just don't want you to be blinded by interests and run over." The mountains to the south are the places where the Gobi forces held ceremonies and held consultations. ”
"What ritual?" Zuma? Tree Shadow asked, Gergemu hadn't told him anything.
Gegemu smiled cruelly and said, "You won't want to know. ”
Yuan Mu didn't ask much about it. "This excuse is barely enough for me to forgive you for concealing it, but you'd better be honest. With their help, Black Rock City's power has grown to such a large size, and Arnold has also subdued the barbarian city as soon as he returned, and the heirs of the barbarian ancestors are so strong, why don't they come back and recapture the Ranhoof Gobi? ”
"Don't underestimate the Ranho Gobi, there are hidden forces in this forest, and the Ranho Gobi also has it. The founders of Black Rock City initially concealed it, but later revealed their purpose to resurrect the ancestors. Many of the nascent forces did not understand the horror of the ancestors and joined the side of Black Rock City, but they were still defeated by us. ”
Arnold even directly led these cities to attack the forest, and few Gobi forces would oppose this kind of thing. Only now did he suddenly make a move to build Grulock's palace in this forest. By the time Arnold guarded the palace until he turned the forest into a hunting ground for Grulock, he wouldn't have to worry too much. ”
"What the hell is Grulock's palace?" It seems that this particular building is the key to this war.
"Grulock's palace communicates with the power that our ancestors left in the palaces of the mountains to the south. But Grulock's palace was very difficult to build, and we suspect that Arnold also had Grulock's blood, as evidenced by his better command of flying classes. ”
"What about the other Barbarian Ancestors?"
"Grulock is the highest-ranking of them, and the strength left in the south is the strongest, and the power to resurrect him after the death of several ancestors is also the most active, Grulock has prepared for his resurrection in advance."
"The relationship between these ancestors was not good, it was to fight against the legendary creatures who temporarily united, hehe, just like we are now. However, in the war between the Resurrected Ancestors and the forces against the Resurrected Ancestors, their descendants are gradually coming together, and we may have to face some other enemies. ”
"We are not like them, they have failed together, but we will win," said Utega. ”
Gegemu finally smiled: "It seems that you have also agreed to our temporary union." However, I would like to remind you that the alliance of the ancestors cannot be said to have failed, and it was not only a few of them who were with them at that time, at least there are still forces trying to resurrect them. ”
Utega didn't refute him, and Yuan Mu said: "Since you have decided to unite temporarily, then don't be suspicious of each other, otherwise it's better to fight separately." ”
Gegemu nodded and said, "Of course, that's what I want to say." ”
"Then let's decide what to command now, and the troops we need to inform Falls. Kokar? Bloodstreak should be fighting with us, right? ”
Gegemu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Kokar can't make a move right now. ”
"Why?" If the blood-streaked centaurs didn't make a move, Yuan Mu would have to doubt their sincerity.
"The Bloodstreaked Centaurs have been one of the leaders of the Ranhoof Gobi for a long time after that legendary war, and they have never joined forces with the ancestral forest nature forces that are enemies."
Amelia, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "You mean he doesn't want to bear the consequences of being betrayed by the barbarian forces?" ”
Yuan Mu heard what Amelia meant, and the Ranho Gobi now knew that there were few forces left to resurrect the ancestors, and most of them were happy to see Arnold's actions. If Kokar? If the blood pattern is on the side of the natural system, the prestige of the Gobi will be greatly reduced.
Kokar promised that he would restrain his forces and not attack while the forest was weak after this war was over. After destroying Grulock's palace and killing Arnold, we can make a truce. ”
Several people next to him were skeptical: "Why should we believe him?" ”
Mara said angrily, "The Bloodstreaked Centaur will keep its promise. ”
Yuan Mu remembered the time he dealt with Kokar, and he believed that Kokar would keep his promise, at least this promise, and the Ancestral Forest was more than just this area.
"What about the other barbarian cities?"
"There were some who supported Arnold, some were on our side, and Smao was one of those I could convince. Arnold was not worried about them, so he used them to contain the troops of the natural department. ”
"You're investing too little, and we need to take on too much."
"Arnold is destroying the forest, which is what you need to deal with."
Yuan Mu looked around, so many heroes gathered here, Amelia, Utega, Mara, dwarf heroes, Zu Wu? Tree Shadow, Gegemu, Zuma? Tree Shadow, Shi Spear? Gog......
"I also agree that we will join forces for the time being, let's get moving."
