Chapter 99: The Scourge of the Dragons (3)
A mighty treasure hunt has begun.
Those players flocked to the Ponser Mountains with an unrivalled pioneering spirit and all-encompassing spirit of challenge.
And at the moment.
The Emerald Collar was having a headache because of the orc's abnormal movements, and Xiliu City seized the opportunity to prepare to kill the old opponent, and the player's mess successfully disrupted the orc's strategic deployment and also restrained the Emerald Collar's energy.
Several of the great guilds marched into the Ponse Mountains like an army.
However, as far as Rhodes knew, the final outcome of this mighty "epic weapons treasure hunt" was terrible.
For the big guilds of those games, the [Abyss Pillar] is a good thing, and everyone is happy to open epic weapons, and the abyss demons are opened, just as they rush to the Demon Slayer Guardian Road, and by the way, they can harvest a wave of demonic precious materials.
However, everything exceeded their expectations.
The abyss pillar in the Ponse Mountains was successfully opened by them, and there seemed to be two epics inside, which was originally a happy situation, but it almost made several big guilds collectively annihilate and replay.
A powerful Ancient Evil Dragon suddenly appeared, and the powerful strength that was infinitely close to the gods caught them off guard.
In Rhodes' impression.
It seemed that the evil dragon had been wreaking havoc in the Ponse Mountains for a while, but in the face of the steady stream of "dragon slaying warriors" around it, the powerful evil dragon did not last long.
Don't underestimate the player's passion for dragon slaying.
Rhodes admits that many of the natives of Ash's world are not simple, especially those heroic natives, who are definitely not weaker than those star players.
But there is one thing, the gamers are far more aggressive and courageous than the original inhabitants, for them, this is just a game, and countless players are either looking for thrills or pretending to make money, often doing something extreme and challenging to the extreme.
It is said that at that time, there were several demigod-level players who formed a group to farm dragons.
Although the dragon didn't last long, the aborigines who were still apprehensive still called it the "dragon plague".
There is one point worth mentioning.
After this "Dragon Plague", the Ponse Mountains were basically ruined by the players, but it was the later Xiliu City, where they successfully carried out the pioneering movement, so that various characters such as the Wind Heroes established a pioneering territory there.
And those orcs who were used by the player as experience were even more miserable, and the three major clans were directly merged into the system of Xiliu City, becoming the sharpest "orc legion blade" under the king of the salt coast, Thales.
From this point of view.
Those aborigines are probably not simple goods.
According to the analysis of some forum players, the distribution and location of the abyss pillars opened by those guilds were all artificially arranged later, through their scrutiny of some clues.
For example, the legends of the orc tribes around the Abyss Pillar, such as the historical records and epic legends of this area.
These forum bigwigs came to a conclusion.
It seems that these pillars of the abyss were brought to the Ponse Mountains by the ancestors of the orcs.
In the history of Ash.
During the years of the Salt Coast, there was a war between the orcs and the humans, the orcs were defeated, and a large number of orcs began to scatter in all directions, and three of the three major clans migrated to the Ponse Mountains.
It is worth noting that in the war of the pioneering year, the main problem why the orcs could not defeat the human race was that in addition to the backwardness of the system of the orc tribal alliance, the biggest problem was that some of their powerful totems seemed to have fallen at that time.
Like Ssuke of the Frostfang Clan.
In the early years of the pioneering, Ssuke was close to the strength of the gods, but in the middle of the year, he fell inexplicably, causing the last adult Ssuke to be forced to go to the battlefield, and finally died in the cruel war with humans.
Only the legend of [Tears of Sthuk] remained.
And the spearhead of everything seems to be pointed at the Ponse Mountains.
In the war of the pioneering years, the orcs seemed to have fought fiercely against certain beings in the Ponse Mountains, which led to the fall of the totems one after another, and the humans of the Salt Coast took the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
These [Abyss Pillars] were transplanted by the orc ancestors in that era, and it seemed that they wanted to suppress something with the demonic power inside.
Those few player guilds happened to open the Abyss Pillar to suppress the evil dragon.
This led to the "Dragon Plague" that followed.
Let's go back and look back.
These orcs and human natives are not simple.
The three major clans should have known what was being suppressed in the mountain range, but they kept silent and watched as several major guilds jumped into the fire pit.
They managed to take down the dragon with the help of the players.
Although it was finally merged under the command of Xiliu City, at least most of the orcs were retained, leaving the fire of the race, which is better than fighting with humans in the end.
And Xiliucheng is a chicken thief, directly sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and finally standing up to reap the profits.
Come to think of it.
Rod's face became a little ugly, and now there are no players who are not afraid of death and dare to fight hard.
That demigod-level ancient evil dragon, but no one has to clean it up.
And the group of orcs, without the player's suppression, they can't really break through the Ponse Pass.
In this fantasy world full of extraordinary powers.
Rhodes didn't believe in any "fortress that never falls", and the Ponse Pass really couldn't afford to fire a few epic weapons.
"Your Excellency!"
Felix looked at Rod's changing face and said slowly, "That group of orcs is very backward in weaponry. ”
"They look poor, but they have a strong will to fight."
"And most importantly, they are by no means those small tribes, because among the orcs who are chasing me are lionmen, bears, and tigermen, and they are rare! When we were in the encounter, I observed that there were not many of them, and judging from the direction in which they appeared, they must have come around from the Grizzly Hills! ”
Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows.
If the orcs had come around the Grizzly Hills, as Felix had said, it meant that the Ponther Pass had not yet fallen.
After all, Grizzly Hill is still a long way from Ponse Pass.
"Your Excellency."
"I'm afraid those orcs are still coming around Grizzly Hill, and their goal is Ponseer Pass!"
Felix's hoarse voice was filled with affirmation.
"From the Ponse Mountains into the plains, they can't get around the Ponse Pass, but with the Emerald Leader stationed there, it will be difficult for them to capture the Pass. Detour from the rear of the Grizzly Bear Hills, bloom in the middle, cut off the grain road of the pass and the surrounding development territory, this is probably their purpose! ”
Rod frowned slightly when he heard this.
Felix has a point.
Just like the defeat at Waterloo, the orcs should have suffered at the Ponse Pass, and they directly abandoned most of their baggage and supplies, and adopted a small force to infiltrate the circle, I am afraid that they wanted to use the jungle to fight guerrillas.
"Huh! Your Excellency, you may not believe it, but those under my command can't withstand a few orcs in the jungle! Emerald Collar Dense Forest, these orcs really adopt guerrilla tactics! That Ponse's Pass is coming to an end! ”
Felix smiled wryly, with indescribable frustration and self-deprecation in his tone.
Rhodes, of course, knew the horrors of guerrilla warfare.
If it is really as Felix said, the loss of the Ponse Pass will cause great changes in the entire Emerald Territory and the Xiliu City region, and even affect the many territories of Varesian further afield.
