Chapter 127: The High Priest's Secret
Did the orc empire send envoys to seek peace in the true sense, or to further oppress the Great Xia Dynasty?
No one knows, but it is undeniable that many people think that for the current orc empire, there is no need to sue for peace at all.
Their national strength is far stronger than that of Great Xia, and they have not failed on the battlefield in Eastern Xinjiang, so why do they ask for peace?
Many officials and people of insight are sighing: "Orc Empire, uneasy and kind!"
Although the true intention of the Orc Empire to send an envoy to sue for peace is unknown, it has to be said that the Orc Empire's move actually has some benefits for the Great Xia Dynasty.
For the common people, the orc empire's quest for peace has inspired the momentum of the domestic army, making the domestic people trust the emperor more and believe in the current Great Xia Dynasty even more.
For the family lords, they stopped thinking about internal fighting, and the spearhead was unanimous with the outside world, and the human race may be the most capable of infighting among the eight desolation races, but it is also the most united race in foreign wars.
Today, with the stable development of all parties in the Great Xia Dynasty, as the news spreads out, it is gradually fermenting, and everyone is waiting for the news of Eastern Xinjiang.
......
At the same time, the Orc Empire, the City of the Beast King, and the High Priest's Mansion.
The style of this official residence is like a palace, but it is majestic and solemn.
The hall is surrounded by inverted bell-like flowers, the calyxes are white, bone china-like with a translucent luster, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lilac, which seems to be dyed naturally.
It can be seen that from the inside to the outside, this mansion has a strong architectural style of the Great Xia people.
On the long table, there are amber wine, golden foot bottles, jade plates, picturesque food, wine like springs, gurgling guqin, and bells dingdong.
It is this wine and meal, which is also the main food of the Great Xia human race, and only a small amount of bacon and barbecue that the orcs love are placed on the table.
Everyone in the Orc Empire knows that this generation of high priests loves the things of Great Xia, and in many details of their lives, they are deliberately imitating the Great Xia Dynasty.
This made the Beast King quite dissatisfied, and the generals of the Orc Empire criticized it, they all thought that the Orc Empire was stronger than the Great Xia Dynasty, so why should they learn to imitate the living habits of a weak human capital?
The high priest did not want to explain too much about these gossip.
The continuous growth over the years has made the Orc Empire forget the horror and past glory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it has also made them forget the respect and learning of the Orc Empire when it faced the Great Xia Dynasty countless years ago.
If it weren't for the generosity of the first generation of orc priests who went to Great Xia to reconcile and negotiate with Emperor Su with a heart full of death, and sought Emperor Su's permission and forgiveness with supreme wisdom, where would there be today's orc race?
If it weren't for the painstaking management of generations of high priests, maneuvering around it, and constantly sending students and merchants to infiltrate the Great Xia Dynasty, where would the orc empire be so majestic and powerful today?
Only generations of high priests know that the Great Xia Dynasty should not be underestimated, this is a powerful race that has once produced a great emperor!
In the past 100,000 years, although the Eight Desolations are so great, the masters of the Emperor Realm have also appeared in other races, but in the entire Middle Desolation, only the human race of the Great Xia Dynasty has ever appeared as an emperor.
The most ferocious in suppressing the Great Xia Dynasty was the high priest, but at the same time, it was also the high priest who studied and delved into all the knowledge and knowledge of the human race of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Based on heritage, based on racial potential, based on history...... The Orc Empire should not underestimate the Great Xia Dynasty.
But the sad thing is that in the past thousand years of the orc empire, all over the country, only the high priests of the past generations can see through this.
The high priest sat at the table, facing a table full of delicious meals, but did not move.
After a long time, he sighed faintly.
A stout, tiger-headed guard stood beside the high priest in a robe hood and asked aloud, "High priest, why do you sigh?"
Most of the orcs in the orc empire are divided into two types, one is the head of the beast and the other is the head of the beast, and no matter how many years have passed, no matter which tribe of the orcs, they all have the characteristics of some humans and some of the characteristics of beasts.
Creatures that are purely in the form of beasts do not belong to the orc race, and such pure beasts exist and can only be domesticated by the orc race into war mounts or served to the table.
"Nothing. ”
The High Priest shook his head, his voice a little hoarse.
He was sighing, no one in the Orc Empire was willing to understand him, and even the Beast King was defending himself.
Can't they see the efforts that the position of High Priest has put into the Orc Empire?
Have they forgotten the exploits and loyalty of the high priests of the past to the Orc Empire?
An identity that has been glorified to the extreme, has become a burden on the High Priest at this time, and the High Priest knows deeply that if it weren't for his own identity being too special, the Beast Lord would have wanted to empty himself a long time ago.
This is a self-righteous king, who has no room for sand in his eyes, and he cannot tolerate too good courtiers.
From this diplomatic attitude and strategic adjustment towards the Great Xia Empire, it can be seen that the Beast King is already very dissatisfied with himself, but he is still holding back......
The tiger guard asked softly, "High Priest, but is it because the peace envoy is troubled?"
He tried to put on a smiling side, but his face looked extremely hideous.
No way, he was born with a fierce appearance, and he has no relationship with the word "kindness".
"No, the messenger of peace is a candidate personally determined by the beast king, how can I be dissatisfied?"
The High Priest shook his head and took a deep look at the Tiger Guard.
"Stand down, I'm hungry and need to eat. ”
The High Priest waved his hand.
"Yes, High Priest. ”
The tiger man nodded, he knew that the high priest liked to eat alone, and each generation of the high priest was mysterious and special.
The tiger guard opened his mouth and smiled, showing his sharp teeth, and said in a low voice: "High Priest, if you still have something, just tell me. ”
"Hmm. ”
The High Priest nodded, and watched as the tiger guards left the hall.
"Beast King, you still don't believe me......"
The high priest's voice was a little hoarse, he was sneering, but his heart was sad.
That tiger man guard, who was originally the confidant of the high priest, has now become a member of the beast king.
The Beast Monarch is actually the main battle faction, and he is bent on conquering the Great Xia Dynasty to achieve a goal that has not been achieved by the previous Beast Monarchs.
In his eyes, he only had great feats that no one had achieved in thousands of lifetimes, but he had not taken into account the feelings of the High Priest and the current situation of the Orc Empire.
Even if the Great Xia Dynasty was defeated with the strength of the whole country, how could the Orc Empire face other racial empires that were eyeing each other?
The reason why the first generation of high priests had the courage to intercede with Emperor Su was not to let the orc tribe survive in the wilderness, so that more orcs could live better?
"Great Xia, it's your ambition, it's also your magic barrier, Beast King......"
The High Priest muttered to himself, his voice hoarse.
If it weren't for history, which made people feel too inferior, why would they have bitten the Great Xia Dynasty for generations and not let go?
The more proud and powerful the race, the most likely it is to feel inferior.
"Alas. ”
The High Priest sighed helplessly, and then he lifted the corner of his hood, revealing the lower half of his face, and prepared for dinner.
If there were outsiders present, they would have been able to see the lower half of the high priest's face clearly...... It is exceptionally smooth, without the surface hair typical of orcs, with ruddy lips, straight teeth, and a straight nose.
There's one more chapter to come!
