The paranoid King Dorodo doesn't trust anyone, but whatever he thinks is important, he will hold it tightly in his hands or put it in a place where he can see it at any time, even those dangerous virus weapons, he also keeps them in the palace, and usually does not allow anyone to come near them. Although he set himself on fire, the virus weapon was not burned, as the place where the weapon was stored was close to the State Palace, in front of the burned Great Hall.

There are many buildings in the State Palace, one of which is located in the middle of nowhere, close to the palace wall, and has a very inconspicuous appearance, as if it has fallen into disrepair and has long been abandoned. But not so long ago, there were suddenly several times more guards here than elsewhere, because King Dorodo hid the virus weapon there. When you open the door, the first thing you see is a room full of clutter, mostly old armor and legs-missing tables and chairs, covered with a thick layer of dust. It's hard to imagine that this place hides King Dorodo's most precious lethal weapon.

Murch waved the dust that was falling everywhere with his hand, and even his nose itched a little, and he looked back at Rhodes suspiciously, and asked, "Are you sure it's here?"

"It must be here, I remember the last time I brought weapons into the palace, before I could get close to this room, I was stopped from a distance, and I had to leave everything on the ground and let the guards in the palace carry it instead. Rod replied.

Noro walked behind them, about two or three paces away, and didn't speak, but his brow frowned slightly, and he didn't seem to have a good impression of this messy place.

"The house is full of clutter, virus weapons are not placed in a prominent place, and there must be some kind of entrance to another place hidden here. Judging by the thickness of the dust that fell on the debris, it seemed that it had not been moved for a long time, so the entrance should not be on the ground, and we looked along the walls inside. Rod said, pointing to the innermost wall.

It wasn't long before they found some large, dusty, loosely stacked debris in the corner on the right. After Noro asked a few soldiers outside the door to come in and clean up all the clutter, a door appeared on the wall. The door didn't look small, the wood was black, and there were some cold and hard strips of metal nailed to the door, which looked like copper bars, and although it was very old, the sharp cone-shaped continuous patterns on the copper surface were still clearly recognizable.

It took a lot of effort to break the lock on the door, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a sloping downward entrance. Carrying torches, they cautiously walked down the stone steps by the wall. Every ten steps, a protruding stone lamp appears on the wall, containing grease and wicks, which can be lit by simply raising a torch.

The stone steps are actually not very long, and they soon reach the bottom. The basement was much larger than the house on the ground level, and the stone interior walls were carved with many patterns that closely resembled those on the door outside. The floor was piled with chests of similar size, at least a thousand of them, and they took up almost the entire stone chamber on top of each other, leaving little room for them to put their feet on.

Rhodes dragged a crate to them and carefully opened it, with many arrow-shaped weapons neatly lined inside. Mu Qi reached out and picked up one, and said in surprise: "This ...... It's a virus weapon? It looks like an ordinary arrow. ”

"Look at the arrows again. Rod prompted.

Murch raised the arrow to his eyes again and looked at it carefully, and found that the arrow was larger than a normal arrowhead, thick and long, and the arrow was not flat, but full oval, and had four sharp barbs attached to it. Near the edge of the arrow, there is a circle of small circular grooves, which are not found in ordinary arrows. He couldn't help but wonder: "However, I still don't see what this arrow has to do with the virus." ”

Noro watched quietly and silently, he knew that this arrow was definitely not as simple as it looked, otherwise, King Dorodo would not have hid here as a treasure.

At this time, Rhodes took out a pair of leather gloves from the pocket he was carrying, and after putting the gloves on, he took the arrow from Muki's hand. He first turned the arrow sideways, pinched the end of the arrow with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, which is the outer end of the circular groove, then rotated it slightly, and then pulled it out so hard that the arrow edge detached itself from the small circular groove.

"Huh?" said Mu Qi in surprise when he looked closer, "There's a small arrow blade hidden inside!"

"Actually, the inside is the real arrow, and before shooting the arrow, the outside side will be pulled out first. "If you look closely, there's a very small round hole at the end of this little arrow. ”

Even with the torch lighting, the basement was still not bright enough to make a clear view of the round hole, which was smaller than the eye of a needle, and if Rod hadn't reminded him, Murch wouldn't have thought that there was such a small hole hidden in the arrow's edge.

"Be careful! Don't get pricked, I haven't developed an antidote to this virus yet. Seeing Muki's face getting closer and closer, Rhodes quickly moved the arrow away, and then explained, "The inside of this oval arrow is hollow, and the liquid virus is poured into it. Once the arrow is fired, the virus will immediately seep into the bloodstream through the small hole in the arrow's edge, and it will spread throughout the body within a few days. Then, symptoms such as hair loss, tooth loss, and back deformity and crooked back will appear, which means that the body functions begin to decline. With the rapid aging of the body, the movement will become very slow, and even if you want to commit suicide, you will not be able to lift the knife, which is no different from the real dying old man. Moreover, the state of being old and having difficulty taking care of oneself will last for several years before it can be liberated. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qi couldn't help but shudder, but Noro said without changing his face: "It seems that King Dorodo hates his appearance to the extreme. ”

He actually said something that would almost make King Dorodo angry to death one more time, despite that peerless beauty, arrogant and indifferent. Mu Qi looked at such Noro, and couldn't help but laugh: "You really hit the nail on the head." ”

"Hmph, other people's eyes can't really hurt his heart at all, unless he himself sees himself that way, and inferiority is just a sign of cowardice. Noro didn't seem to have any interest in these vicious weapons, and after a few cursory glances, he turned neatly and left the basement, commanding only, "Move these things out and burn them." ”

Murch looked at Noro's back with emotion, and it wasn't until he completely disappeared on the stone steps that he was pulled back to his senses by Rod's words.

"The Kingler is a truly strong man, and he has an incomparably strong soul that no one can twist or break. He always knew which path he should take and how he should go on it. "To be honest, from the first time I saw him, I knew that I wouldn't have been able to convince him if he hadn't wanted to." ”

"Heh, who's to say it isn't. Mu Qi smiled at Noro's vanishing back, then turned back and said, "By the way, you dare to take out this thing and use it before you have an antidote, what if you hurt your own people?"

Rhodes held the poisoned arrow, stared intently for a long time, and sighed slowly: "Yes, this is a scourge after all, something that harms others and oneself, but Your Majesty is obsessed, and I can only betray him......"

In fact, if Rhodes is unable to develop a virus weapon, the entire Akroy family will not be able to escape the end of being blamed and persecuted by King Dorodo. However, he never said these words to Noro. Because, now the fact is that his family is still intact, and he has not only developed a vicious weapon, but also betrayed the king, these two events alone are enough to make him suffer a lifetime of heartache. He didn't want to make any excuses for himself, and he didn't need sympathy.

Noro's methods have always been ruthless and decisive, and after burning all the virus weapons, he mercilessly ordered to kill the nobles of the Dorodo main battle faction who originally supported the use of virus weapons, even if they begged for mercy, they did not leave any behind. Because the human heart is rotten, any repentance that is sworn by is only a lie to save one's life temporarily, and it will be a scourge in the future. Today's city of Tari, although it is ostensibly left to the Dorodons to govern themselves, is actually completely controlled by the Jingele family. As early as the time he set out for Dorodo, Noro had already selected some of his capable subordinates from the family and brought them to the tower. These people are clearly to help manage Dorodo's future government affairs, but in fact they are monitoring to ensure that no one dares to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Of course, the news of King Dorodo's death must be kept secret for the time being, in order to prevent the country from being in turmoil and neighboring countries from taking advantage of the gap, especially the ambitious Herriland.

Since then, Dorodo's life has been deceased. At this time, the 400,000 Dorodo army, which was still waiting on the eastern border, was still unaware of the changes in the capital.

In fact, King Dorodo's choice of Sambiland as the first battlefield to test the virus weapon was not reckless, and from a strategic point of view, it was a wise decision. Because, today's Sambiland, in addition to the name of the fourth largest country in the Eastern Continent and the vast land, has long been ravaged by the king who has no ability but desolation and immorality, and it is naturally not difficult to overcome. If it weren't for the fact that the northern regions of Herilandi, Dulon, Guelland, and Napole had been fighting in the middle of the year and had no time to focus on the south, Sambiland, a big country in vain, would have been cleaned up long ago.

Now that Naboland is gone, the territory of Herilandi has expanded like never before, spanning the east and west coasts, and occupying a vast area of land in the central part of the eastern continent. Once he recovers from the fatigue after the war, he will not let go of the land that is at his fingertips in Sambiland. Because, taking Sambiland is equivalent to successfully opening the door to the south, and then you can pocket all the small countries in the south as you like. At that point, Nuland will be even more difficult to contend with.

For all these reasons, Noro can't just sit idly by and ignore the growing momentum of Herilandi, and now only by taking Sambiland first can he effectively seal Heriland's ambition to go south.

The three countries bordering the southern border of Herilandi, from the east coast to the west coast, are: Sambiland, Dorodo, and Western Asia. Western Asia is a small coastal state with an alliance with the landlocked Dorodo, usually uniting against neighboring powers, and is very clever in standing between Herilandi and Nuland, never taking sides easily. This is the main factor that has been able to maintain a delicate balance between Nuland and Herilandi over the years. Therefore, as long as the news of Dorodo's change of ownership is not made public, for the sake of her own interests, Sicia will pretend not to know even if she knows it, so as to avoid becoming a battlefield between the two great powers. Until Nuland and Herilandi are decided, Sicia will not easily throw on either side, because it cannot afford to make such a bet. The current precarious illusion of equilibrium is barely a good situation for Noro for the time being.

Norro knew that if he didn't take advantage of the fact that Gerilandi found out that Dorodo had changed hands, he would probably lose the opportunity to fight against Herilandi forever. Therefore, he temporarily decided that it would be better to take advantage of the situation, decisively take over the 400,000 troops placed by King Dorodo on the eastern border, and take Sambiland with one blow.
