Therefore, the dilemma that the Starry Night Leader is facing now is not much less than that of Baldur's Gate, but because of the existence of Acoste and others, the victories in foreign battles one after another, and the strength again and again, have given those civilians or low-level soldiers a lot of blind trust, and there is an illusion that no matter how serious the situation is, the victor is still their illusion......
It's just that those high-level people who have a little insight don't think so, they usually stand taller, see more things, and have a wider range of knowledge, this time the spread of the battle and the scale of the war is definitely the highest they have seen since birth, the ghost knows where the endless orcs came from, when they attack the city, the soldiers standing on the wall condescending are the most touched, at that glance, the vast savannah in the field of vision is all crowded with a piece of red, Mixed with some stout ogres and trolls, plus the occasional demon soaring in the sky, this battle is enough to scare the newcomers into battle before they are fought......
And when the drums of war are beaten, the melodious battle song of "Dong Dong Dong" is very rhythmic not only inspiring the orcs who are fearless of death under the city, but also beating the hearts of human soldiers to oppress their fighting spirit, this kind of drum sound from the orc tribe is naturally a kind of magic, just like the [Encouragement] and [Blessing Technique] released by human mages, their skin drums also contain the supernatural energy of the inheritance of the ancient shaman among the orcs!
Coupled with the nearly 100,000 monsters screaming and charging forward together, the pressure brought by this kind of scene is definitely not something that can be depicted in words, at least the soldiers guarding in the Meteorite Fortress do not feel that they have played a decisive role in this battle related to the extinction of the race, and completely rely on the elite legions and the giant walls of the Meteorite Fortress that are more than 70 meters high and 40 meters thick, and the spells applied on each wall!
#####
"Celtic, come and help me, there's an orc's corpse here that's too heavy, it seems to be holding something good in its hand, let's take it out together!"
The wall of the Meteorite Fortress is a pentagonal shape protruding forward from a bird's-eye view, with countless passages in the urn city, almost every one or two steps there will be several physical traps arranged by the thief rangers, and every dozens of steps there will be one or two spell traps arranged by mages, the location of these traps is usually only known to the warriors in charge of this defense area, so if it weren't for the orcs who had the help of the inside and the outside the day before, it would have been a bit difficult for that group of guys to enter the inner city......
In the corner of a western city wall, a group of half-grown little boys found a good thing, it was an old orc corpse that fell in a corner, there was no corpse of his companion or any traces of battle near him, and the direction of the previous orc army's main attack was due east, so it was obvious that this unlucky and sad fellow somehow lost his way in the chaos after rushing into the city wall, but stumbled all the way through the mountains and rivers, I didn't know how many traps I had traveled from the easternmost side across a distance of thousands of meters to the other side, but there seemed to be a good saying, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, this orc finally hit this small dead end, a steel spike that can be contracted sticks out from the sole of his foot, directly piercing his thigh and stabbing it like a gourd from the crotch.
"I'm here, hey, Malte, what are you doing, don't touch their bodies, we should call the adults to deal with them!"
The boy named Celt, who was a little older in appearance, heard the sound from the other corner, and as soon as he entered, he saw Malt with three or four children as old as them trying to pull the orc's wrist, and hurriedly stopped him in fright.
"I'll go. Aren't you, what kind of adults do you have to go to for this kind of thing, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming out? Aren't you afraid that they will rob us of the loot we find? ”
Malte was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and he squinted at Celt with a disdainful expression in his eyes.
"I know we're here to pick up waste on the battlefield, but didn't we agree to only pick up the things that fell on the ground and not touch the corpses?"
"Yes, we've discussed, but have you picked up anything good so far?"
Marte strode over to Celtic's side and sarcastically pointed to the broken belt he was carrying behind his back, "What good things did you pick up?" The tattered leather with the smell of orcs, the weapons that have been chopped off, these are all scrap metal, and it is estimated that even if you sell them to those who recycle garbage, you will not be able to sell them! ”
"Think of our mother, who is sick now, but for the sake of our lives, she still has to get up early every day to go to the tailor's shop to work for others, and the few silver coins she earns a day must be spent on our daily expenses, and she can't even afford medicine, do you want to watch her die of exhaustion?"
"Me!! ......”
As soon as Celtic heard the word mother, he immediately blushed and couldn't refute it, in the Starry Night Territory, everyone's living conditions were quite good, but once there was a war, it was not the same thing, in fact, the Starry Night Territory was able to maintain the food expenses of so many people in the territory It was already a great thing, and the Baldur's Gate was definitely even worse than here, they didn't say that they were killed by the orcs every day, and the number of people who starved to death or was killed by their own people alone reached hundreds, compared with the two, the people of the Starry Night Collar should also be content.
It's just that it's okay to eat, but there is a big problem with the medical security institutions, the vast majority of priests and doctors have been temporarily transferred to the front line to take charge of the soldiers who are fighting on the front line, and civilians can only buy medicine to treat if they are sick, but the problem is that these drugs are also very "scarce" now, I don't know if it is a black-hearted businessman sitting on the ground or there is really not much inventory, the price of drugs has risen countless times compared to weekdays, and a bottle of medicine that can treat fever is basically about the same price as gold, Therefore, there are actually many people who die unnaturally every day, but there is no way to do it......
Celtic and Malte are a pair of half-brothers, Celt is older, but when Celt was just born, his father died in a gnolling riot, and Mary, who became a single mother, had no choice but to take Celt who was less than a full moon to West Hartland, where it was relatively safe, to find a man to marry, but when Malt was just born, Mary's second husband also died in an accident.......
If other people are in this situation, the mother should choose to abandon her own child and find another "backer", because the social background of Fei Lun is not the current social background, in this kind of monster and robber days, an adult man does not dare to look too much to the future, can only live one day at a time, let alone a single mother who pulls two babies waiting to be fed alone......
But Mary is not an ordinary person, no matter how much her friends persuade her, Mary is still young and still chooses to take responsibility for the life she has raised, after hearing that the Starry Night Leader is absorbing the population There is a policy that does not limit the number of children in the family, Mary resolutely chose to take the two babies to the Meteorite Fortress to live.
So Celtic is not much older than Malte, and because of their special relationship, Malt has always looked down on Celtic.......
"Well, don't talk about it, he's your brother, and he's so cautious for our safety, if those orcs don't die, then we'll die."
There are also a few boys and girls who are about the same age as him on Celtic's side, and they all come here with one purpose, that is, to scavenge on the chaotic battlefield, and if they find something good to sell, then at least the money for the medicine will be settled.
"Cut, he's still my brother like that, timid as a mouse, I don't think he's even worthy of a man!"
Malte turned his head and muttered in a low voice, his voice was actually not soft, at least the people around him heard his words clearly, the big girl who helped to persuade her changed her face and stepped on a step and was about to scold the other party, but she was pulled back by Celtic.
"I said you .....!"
"Forget it, Jenny, he's right, I'm too timid, as long as I can buy medicine for my mother, what is it to move the corpse, even if it is death, I am willing."
"Celtic, you ....."
Jenny looked at each other a little worriedly, Celtic immediately shook her head and gave her a wry smile, "I'm fine, on the contrary, my brother is right, didn't he just say that there are good things over there, I'll help, if I really find valuables that can be sold for money, I will definitely count your share, I know that the situation at your home is also very difficult, and there is a younger sister who has not learned to walk to raise." ”
"Well, thank you, Celtic, you're so nice." Jenny didn't say anything more, she picked up Celtic's side cheek and kissed it, and the boy, who looked like he was in his teens, instantly blushed like a monkey's ass, scratched his head embarrassedly and walked over to the orc corpse.
"Celtic, do you see what it is holding in its left hand, I just saw a little blue light flashing out, with my years of experience, I dare to guarantee that this must be some kind of precious crystal, as long as you take it out, not only will we get rich, but all of us here will get rich!"
Malte had no choice but to ask his half-brother for help, although there were some other children around him and Celtic, but none of them were too weak to do the job, and they could only pick up things.
And these two brothers are different, their mother Mary is an ordinary person, but their fathers are all baptized professionals, Celtic's father is a mid-level warrior who has experienced serious injuries and disabilities during the adventure, and Malte's father is a down-and-out knight, and their two little children have obviously inherited their father's good genes, and their strength and size are not much worse than ordinary adults in their teens, which is also the reason why they can become the head of children, because at least in the area where they live, Not a single child can beat them!
"Crystals?" Celtic was a little funny when he saw his brother bragging to him, you still have your years of experience, don't talk about crystal, have you ever seen quartz? Have you seen a gold coin? These poor children have no access to those things, and all they know about them can only be hearsay.
It's just that Celtic also knows in his heart that he can't find anything that can shine brightly, and he doesn't see those rich women and nobles who like to wear a little sparkle on their bodies when they have nothing to do on weekdays? There is a high probability that something that can shine will be treasured!
"Come, let's go up together, I'll break to the left, you break to the right, let's pry his hand away first!"
"Good!"
Celtic rolled up his sleeves, and Malte also stood beside him, and the two brothers grabbed the old orc's hands on one side, and then shouted and exerted at the same time!
The orc's physique is really speechless, even if it is old, the beard and hair on its body are a little gray, and their strength is not comparable to that of ordinary adult humans, plus this thing must be something that the orc cares about very much before his death, even if it dies, it is very tight, and Celtic and Malte have not been able to pull it down in the first time.
But Celt and Malte are not vegetarians, these two brothers have been strong since they were children, plus they each have a good father, and their genes are very good, although they are still some distance from adulthood, but the combat power of a single wheel is much stronger than other adult men, once Mary was teased by a few ruffians outside, Celt and Malt rushed to fight with others without saying a word, and the two brothers teamed up to beat 7 or 8 adult men to the ground!
So as time passed, the two brothers became more and more vigorous, and the old orc's fist gradually began to loosen, and after a while, the two of them made a gap out.
A soft dark blue light came out of that gap, and that luster was so gorgeous and intoxicating that the children who were watching next to them immediately showed intoxicated expressions on their faces when they saw this burst of light!
"Celtic, come on, you're almost there!"
"Malte, pick it up quickly, get the gem out and I'll marry you!"
"Come on, big brother! Big brother, you can definitely do it! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
