Chapter 597: Straight to the point
The Bloodtop Tribes are large orc tribes in the Western Plateau, and are located in the middle of the Western Plateau. Within this area, there are more than a dozen large orc tribes, each with a small sphere of influence.
But in reality, this is just a small microcosm of the western plateau. The Western Plateau is not the only place where large tribes gather, there are also many other places where orcs live.
But because it is located in the center of the western plateau, it is a strategic location that all countries want to strive for. It makes a lot more sense to control an orc tribe here than it does elsewhere.
Therefore, the army of the Ere Empire is trying its best to get rid of the bloody top.
Of course, their goal is not only to fall on the blood, but they are also trying to try their luck with other tribes. However, in other tribes, they all ate behind closed doors.
Some tribes do not seem to have been infiltrated by the True God Tribe, but the chiefs and shamans of the tribe are wary of them. Anything like the True God Order is reprimanded as alarmist and nonsense. And the Ere Empire is in charge of this by an officer, not some minister of the interior...... So it was simple and straightforward, and the end result was that their people were driven out of those tribes.
And for others, their people can't get in at all...... Those tribes can still allow caravans that have traded in the past, and the new faces that appear later, no one can introduce them, and they will all refuse. And according to those who sent them out, the tribal guards all looked a little weird, and maybe they already had some connection with the Order of the True God.
The other tribes couldn't open the situation, and the people of the Ere Empire could only target this blood top.
Although the chiefs and great shamans of this tribe are always noncommittal about their words. But they can feel it. This orc tribe. The Order of the True God has become wary. Then it will be much easier to conquer this orc tribe, as long as you convince the orc chieftain and shaman.
But strange is strange here, although the head of this tribe is aware of the threat of the True God Order, he always pushes back on their request for an alliance. Why? Although the orcs are ignorant, the orcs who can be the chief are not fools. The Great Shamans are even more different, they claim to be able to receive the revelation of their ancestors, don't they know the benefits of forming an alliance with human nations?
The principal had a headache and finally found a way. I asked my men to look around for information, and finally got something useful.
This orc tribe has long been in contact with humans!
Those humans were the ones who triggered the event of a giant icicle not far away, and later clashed with the orcs, even killing an orc shaman. But instead of fighting these people, the chief and the great shaman took them to the chief's hall and drove everyone else out, plotting for a long time!
And after that incident, the blood top fell and carried out a cleansing, and many orcs who behaved strangely were captured. Among them there is even a henchman next to the chief!
Although the principal was an officer. But not without knowledge. As soon as he got the news, he knew about it. This orc tribe must have some kind of agreement with those humans!
Those humans, if nothing else, should be reconnaissance teams from other countries. They have made an agreement with the Bloodies to ally themselves with their country!
The principal gritted his teeth. Your army doesn't know when it will be able to reach the western plateau, so take the orc tribe first? Why! Is it easy for our army to enter the western plateau in incognito pretending caravans? You're just sticking a stick in the middle of the rope to get the top of the blood to go?
So, after gathering some of his subordinates to study for a night, the principal decided...... Showdown with that scout team!
Be sure to let them get this tribe out! This place was first brought by the troops of the Ere Empire, and it must belong to the Ere Empire!
I have to say that the militaristic style that has been formed by the Ere Empire for a long time is perfectly reflected in these officers. What we fancy should be ours!
Even if you arrived first, you didn't come up with the most powerful weapon! Your army hasn't even arrived, and you want to tie this orc tribe to your chariot?
No way! Even if we want to use force, we have to take this orc tribe into our hands!
Of course, this is not to say that they are going to conquer this orc tribe by force...... That would be the opposite of what they originally intended. What do you gain by defeating this orc tribe and adding to the hatred between the two sides? Do you think the orcs will listen to you?
Even an officer of the Ere Empire would not make such a mistake. The orc tribe has no resources worth grabbing, except for the orcs...... But if you conquer this tribe by force, this most useful resource will not be used by him.
The object of his desire to use force is Ji Ran and them! It's just a reconnaissance team, even if the strength is good, it can't be compared with your own army!
Of course, he can't use the army to deal with those people with a bang, but he has brought a lot of masters this time! There are three gold-level masters! Count himself, four gold-level masters!
What is this concept? Even in the army of the Ere Empire itself, the powerhouses of the Golden Rank are at least at the level of the leader of the side. For this war with the True God Order, almost all of the Gold-level powerhouses were gathered.
Their vanguard team was even more unprecedentedly arranged with four gold-level powerhouses! You know, this army that is regarded as a vanguard is only a thousand people, and it is still scattered into several caravans. It is simply unprecedented to put so many gold-rank powerhouses in such a small team!
The reconnaissance team of their country, he also knew about it. The average strength is not weak, after all, it is to come to this crisis-ridden western plateau. But the highest is only the pinnacle of silver. How could a Gold-level powerhouse be sent to do such a task?
Not to mention that there are four gold-level powerhouses on his side, as long as there is one, it is enough to deter the other party's reconnaissance team! If you don't obey, hum, it's easy to destroy them alone!
This bloody top fall, our Ere Empire, is going to be decided!
The person in charge thought about the scout team, and his heart was full of sneers.
The next day, the principal was ready to get started.
He had already inquired about the hotel where the reconnaissance team was staying, and had brought a few of his men here early. Of course, these subordinates are not gold-level powerhouses, but only silver-level powerhouses. He believes that with his own strength, it is enough to make the other party afraid. When the time comes, wouldn't it be simple and unusual for them to sue the orc chieftain and form an alliance with their own country?
When he came to the lobby of the hotel, he first asked the receptionist of the hotel to ask where Ji Ran and the others lived.
"The human adventure team, you mean? They went out early today, and they should be on the eastern side of the tribe now. "The receptionist and Ji Ran have a good relationship...... In fact, Ji Ran deliberately had a good relationship with this receptionist. It's okay to hand over a bottle of wine or something, and you can easily get the favor of this receptionist.
In this orc territory, the inns opened by humans are bound to have various crises. In this way, humanity itself is a natural ally. Hotel receptionists, on the other hand, come into contact with a lot of humans on a daily basis, and they tend to be quite well-informed. Ji Ran curryed favor with this receptionist, and the purpose was also to get news from him.
Not only the receptionist of the hotel, the waiter and the owner of the tavern, but also Ji Ran and others during this time. In addition to Ji Ran, Baker is also a good hand at pulling relationships, and is now a well-known person in the human race in the blood top.
In this way, it is natural for the receptionist to know the movements of Ji Ran and others.
When the principal heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart. But there is no way, they are not your subordinates, and you haven't notified them in advance, why do you want them to stay in the hotel and wait for you?
"Let's go, go to the east of the tribe and find them." They had already inquired about the appearance of Ji Ran and the others, and it was not difficult to distinguish them.
Ji Ran and the others were indeed in the eastern part of the bloody landing, saying that they were out to take risks, but they were actually going to reconnoiter the situation of another orc tribe over there.
The tribe looked like it had been corrupted by the Order of the True God. Although they are not much different from other orc tribes now, they don't let humans go in and out casually. The caravans that often traded with them were still entered, but every living person was subjected to quite severe scrutiny, and many adventurers were even denied entry, and had to take long detours to rest in other tribes.
From the outside, of course, I can't see anything strange about those orcs...... In fact, the orcs who were brainwashed by the True God Order in the blood top fell only when they went crazy under certain conditions, and they usually couldn't see anything. But judging from the tribe's series of anomalous measures, obvious suspicions can be found.
After confirming the matter, the people began to retreat. They weren't going to scare the snake yet...... Although the killing of Hercules before had raised the vigilance of the True God Order, it was not yet possible to prove that it was the humans who discovered the True God Order's plan, and it was not a good time to turn around, so they were also accumulating strength.
Ji Ran and the others didn't want to conflict with the True God Cult right now. If the True God Order is provoked to launch a plan that would rather be broken than broken, then the human side is not prepared and will inevitably suffer even greater losses...... Even if the true god is not successfully summoned in the end, it will deal a huge blow to the world.
Therefore, after they found out the clue, they quietly retreated.
On the way back, they met a group of Ere Empire troops.
The person in charge of that army was a general of the Ere Empire, who had been in a high position for a long time, and was naturally full of momentum. And the style of the army makes them act straightforwardly and not so flexible. After discovering Ji Ran and the others, they immediately greeted them.
"You are the adventurers who started the icicle incident? Tell me, which country's reconnaissance team are you? ”
The general stopped in front of Ji Ran and the others, and without saying a word, he asked a question with a condescending expression.
And Ji Ran and the others looked at each other - who is this? (To be continued......)
