Chapter 38: Plundering the Population
Otis has been at the border for five days.
He was now stationed in a town that had just been plundered by orcs, and most of the civilians here had been killed by the orcs.
Now, it's a no-man's land, and most of the towns that the orcs have plundered won't come back a second time, so it's safe here.
Otis brought a total of 30 Bloodlines and 50 Magic Bats this time.
The distant mountains and mountains stretching for thousands of miles are too vast, even if it is a targeted exploration, it is impossible to explore it in a short time, and you have to avoid the orc's bipedal wyvern, the human griffin, and the pegasus halfway.
He could only try to disperse his personnel to investigate, and in the past few days, because he had gone too deep into the border, he had encountered several orc reconnaissance posts.
Those beast cavalry riding bipedal wyverns have the combat power of the Demon Whisper Bat that is not inferior to that of the Blood Clan.
He can only control his people and try to avoid conflict.
He was ordered by the patriarch to find the humans who had been displaced by the war, not to fight the rude and dirty orcs.
The number of bloodlines is too small to be worth any of them.
"Your Excellency, news has come from His Majesty the Ancestor that the food for the castle has been prepared.
Ivey, Lucy, Dylan, and the three viscounts will come to our aid with all the magic bats.
The order given by the Ancestor was to bring back as many people as possible while keeping him safe.
And be sure to avoid encountering the armies of the Terrans and Orcs. ”
A Bloodline in a leather trench coat approached Otis and handed him the messenger bat.
Otis took the bat and put it to his ear for a moment, then took off the letter from his body, tore it open, and looked at it carefully.
"Well, the patriarch's orders must be carried out carefully, I don't want to see anyone hanged on a rope by those filthy orcs."
It's finally time to begin.
Otis vividly remembers the shocking speech made by the patriarch when he returned a few days ago.
Build a city that is even greater than Greentown.
The masters of this city are the blood clans.
From that moment on, he was determined to achieve this goal, no matter what the cost.
He was looking forward to seeing that day, and if so, the name of his Odis would be written into the history of the Bloodline along with the city.
The witness to the rise of the Bloodline, the descendant of the Ancestral Crown - Otis Cachar.
What a glorious day it must have been.
Otis had anticipation in his eyes.
Bats domesticated by the Bloodline in a special way have extremely special abilities, not only can locate the nest, but also can sense each other's location in the way of bloodline.
So Odis wasn't worried that Ivey wouldn't be able to find him.
The wait didn't last long.
Ivy found Otis at midnight, and it took nearly five days to get from the castle to the border at the speed of a magic bat.
A long distance, if taken by land, this distance is enough for a cavalry to waste ten days.
In the context of extremely inconvenient transportation, the advantage of having a flying Warcraft in the air is too great.
This is also the reason why the human kingdom breeds griffins and pegasus in large numbers.
"Ivey, I have received the order of the patriarch, and I will leave the mission to you this time"
After receiving Li De's order, Otis simply taught the command.
Ivy was the smartest of all their second-generation bloodlines, and was very happy about her arrival at Otis.
This means that this mission may be even more rewarding.
"Otis, thank you for your trust, I swear to the goddess of the night and my father, I will never let you down"
Ivy's face was solemn, and the pure black mage robe complimented that delicate face with great excellence.
"You can report back to me now on all the information you've found."
"This is the small town of Eric, 100 kilometers from the war-scorching border, which has been plundered by orcs once now.
Orcs won't come back a second time after they've raided the town, so we're very safe here.
During this time, as the onset of winter became shorter and shorter, the orcs sent more and more troops.
In order to escape the orcs, most of the towns' civilians began to flee to Grimm, and many of them began to flee after being plundered by the orcs.
I have sent 30 tribesmen to follow the refugee group, and now the nearest one to us is 50 kilometres away, numbering more than 800 people, and 10 tribesmen are monitoring their movements.
I suggest that we concentrate on eating this group of refugees first, because this is a refugee from a town with many nobles in it.
The patriarch needs these literate humans"
Li De specially explained to Otis that when investigating news, he should give priority to finding high-end talents, and there are too few literate humans in "Glory", and most of them are concentrated in the aristocracy.
Therefore, the nobility is the first choice for Li De to plunder.
Knowledge is the primary productive force, and the castle of the future will not be simply engaged in agriculture.
Ivy took a deep look at Otis, most of them were born commoners in the second-generation blood clan, only she and Otis were born nobles and had received aristocratic education, so she could know Li De's plan more clearly.
Although the long life of the other second-generation bloodlines has endowed them with a wealth of knowledge, compared to the orthodox aristocracy, they lack a systematic knowledge reserve after all.
"Odis, I'm glad you thought it so clearly, maybe it's not the best choice for my father to let me be in command"
"No, Ivey, the patriarch's decision, no one vetoes, I listen to your orders"
Ivy shrugged, not polite.
"Okay, call back the people who followed the group of refugees immediately, I want to know all the information"
Although he had enough strength to fight a small battle, Ivey was not in a hurry to send all of his men.
Humans will always hide most of their power and use it until the last minute.
For more than a hundred years, she has already worn out the impulses of young people.
"Yes, I think the people will bring back the information you wanted."
Otis stretched out his hand, and the bat, which had been fanning its wings in the sky, landed in the palm of his hand.
"Tell Turn, come back and tell me what you heard."
Brush~
As the figure of the bat disappeared into the night, the first predatory operation of the population was officially launched.
