Chapter 45: The Prince of the Orc Kingdom
The fortress of Bair, a fortress between the plains of Lidia and the northern ice fields, was built by the Kingdom of Reiner over the course of decades. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After the construction of the fortress of Baier, the kingdom of Reiner spent tens of thousands of gold coins every year to repair the fortress, and there was a full army stationed in the fortress all year round, and there were three legions nearby to guard the fortress.
Perhaps even the designers who designed the fortress that choked the entrance to the northern continent into the Lydian plain would not have imagined that this fortress, originally designed to defend against the threat of evil forces from the northwest, would one day be used to defend against the attacks of their former allies.
The orcs probably didn't expect that this fortress, which they had once participated in the design and construction, would one day become an obstacle in their way, and what was once a symbol of friendship between the two countries has now become the fiercest battlefield in the war between the two countries.
Kabas looked at the fortress in front of him that was located between two rarely seen peaks in Lydia, the towering walls filled his face with a bitter smile, turned his head to look at a lion man standing in front of him, and let out a long sigh in his heart, "Third prince, is this war unstoppable......
The lionman, with his long blond hair, slowly turned his body to reveal a handsome face, a handsome face that would make a woman scream, but now this face was as full of gloom as Kabas.
"Kabas, the direction of the war has never been in our hands, but by the idiots who are now full of land." The face of the third prince of the orc kingdom, Scrooge, was full of helplessness, and now the upper echelons of the kingdom were thinking about the warm land.
At the end of the summer of last year, a sudden snowstorm fell on the land of the orc kingdom, and this blizzard was so unexpected, even for the orc kingdom, which has cold weather all year round.
The Orc Kingdom was completely unprepared for the arrival of this blizzard, neither the temples in the kingdom nor the prophets who observed the stars in the northern extreme realm received a little warning, countless people of the Orc Kingdom died in this blizzard, and most importantly, the kingdom had already harvested a lot of food because of the blizzard.
The cold, coupled with the famine, caused countless orc kingdoms of old and young to die of hunger and cold instead of falling in this natural disaster.
And the last straw that pressed on the back of the orc kingdom was that when the disaster came, when the orcs needed the help of the gods, those gods who had been enjoying the belief of the orcs had completely lost their response, no matter how hard the bishops in the orc kingdom tried, they could not get any response from the kingdom of God.
A warm land that allows the children of the clan to live safely and happily, a land that will no longer shiver in the cold wind, and a land that can harvest a lot of food, rather than a land that can barely make ends meet even if they work hard all year round. This is what the orc heart wants most in the aftermath of the blizzard.
The war broke out in the hearts of the orcs for a warm land, and Scrooge was completely unable to stop the outbreak of this war, which was full of desire and hope for the orcs of the country.
He also wanted to feed the people of his kingdom, but Scrooge did not lose his mind because of the desire for a warm land, as his father and the ministers of the kingdom did.
The current human beings are the overlords of the Faisal continent, the former overlord orcs have completely become a thing of the past, and they can only curl up on the northern ice fields, even if they have honed their strong bodies in the cold climate, but this does not allow them to have the strength to challenge the human supremacy.
But their brothers and sisters, their fathers and uncles, did not take this into account at all, and they completely forgot about it because of fear and desire.
Lust is really crazy, Scrooge shook his head helplessly, "Kabas, you told me some time ago that you met a young human master on the battlefield, right?" ”
"Yes, a young man who is very young, but his strength is about the same as mine." Cabas thought of the young man with whom Parnes was fighting, and a smile appeared on his face, "It was an admirable opponent, and I would love to fight him again, but I want to fight together as a comrade, not as an opponent." ”
"Prince, I think what you said is right, the strength of human beings is no longer comparable to that of us orcs." Cabas's brows furrowed suddenly, remembering that in the battle of Parnes, in addition to Zachary, he seemed to see two small children who followed Zachary, shining in the battle.
"Yes, we orcs are gone, instead of the orc empire that used to sit on half of the Faisal continent, we are already a race that can only curl up on a land that is forever full of ice." Scrooge shook his head with a wry smile, he also wanted to uplift his country so that his people could live happily ever after.
"But all this should not be fought for by the means of war."
Just as Scrooge was about to say something, the horn of war sounded again over the fortress of Bair, and Scrooge closed his eyes, not daring to look at the orc army on the plain in the distance.
He knew very well that his people, the brave soldiers, were fearless of death rushing to the fortress that had stood for eight hundred years, the fortress that separated the plains of Lydia from the northern ice fields.
Countless orcs flocked to the walls of the fortress of Bair like ants, and the Reiner soldiers on the walls took advantage of the geographical advantage, and the rain of arrows covered the sky over the orc army.
At every moment, the orcs fell on the way to the charge, and the orcs behind did not hesitate to step over the corpses of their comrades and continue to rush towards the walls of the fortress of Bair.
When the orc soldiers rushed to the city wall, the shaman's magic and sacrificial magic flashed on the soldiers' bodies, and the blessed orcs climbed the city wall as if they were furious, and then fell like rain under the human defense.
"Kabas, the war is completely full of evil, and there is not a single imaginary heroic scene." Scrooge felt the screams of his people ring in his ears as they died, "The epics sung by the poets are a complete lie." ”
Scrooge couldn't bear to twist his body and turn his back to the fortress, his eyes open with grief.
