Bai Qi had just returned to the Merchant's Castle, and before his ass was hot, Leo and Holmen came in on their heels.

Looking at Leo with a passionate face, Bai Qi's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of murderous intent, as a Chinese, he was particularly hostile to this kind of person who betrayed his own race.

However, this murderous intent disappeared in a flash, and Bai Qi greeted Leo with a smiling face.

Led Leo and the two to the reception room, and as soon as they sat down, Leo couldn't wait to ask him about the results of his meeting with the consul today.

Bai Qi said in a puzzled tone: "I'm sorry, I couldn't convince Your Excellency the Consul, he seems to have some doubts, but he refuses to say it, it's really incomprehensible. ”

Bai Qi's words made Leo's face change slightly.

Leo and Bai Qi reiterated the fish-man threat, and said that since Lord Sassen was not able to fully control the many water pirates in Blackwater City for the time being, he could not organize a coalition to conquer the fish-man peninsula, and the plan they proposed was the only way to solve the fish-man threat at present.

Perhaps in order to disguise his eagerness to hope that this plan would be successful, Leo emphasized his fear that once the Grey Fortress fell, the trolls who entered the Arare River Valley would surely take over the nearest Blackwater Lake, led by the Fishmen, and Blackwater City would bear the brunt.

When Bai Qi heard this, he naturally nodded again and again, saying that he must find a way to persuade the consul to pass Guò this plan.

When Leo left, he left behind a bulging money bag, and Bai Qi certainly wouldn't refuse.

After sending Leo away, Bai Qi opened the money bag and saw that it was a bag full of gems.

The gems of this world are different from the gems of the real world, which can only be regarded as luxury. They contain various elemental magic and are a natural material for the use of divine grace equipment.

Real-world luxuries depreciate due to the turmoil of war. But the gems of this world are the opposite, and they will appreciate in value with war and turmoil.

Bai Qi poured out all the gems in the money bag. He found that this bag of gems was not only of high quality, but also not small, the smallest one was the size of a little finger, enough to make Zuò Intermediate Divine Grace Equipment.

This bag of gems is worth ten times the value of yesterday's bag of gold coins.

In the next few days, Bai Qi ran to the Senator's Hall almost every day, and Leo also went to Bai Qi every day to report, he didn't dare to bribe the consul directly, and the other senators couldn't intervene or were unwilling to intervene in this matter. He simply recognized Bai Qi, who was eager to make meritorious contributions and was bold and greedy, every time he came to the merchant castle, he would never come empty-handed, and all kinds of precious gems, materials, weapons, and battle armor were sent over like flowing water.

And during this time, opposite the valley of the Arare River. The armies of orcs and trolls have begun to assemble.

Bai Qi even secretly speculated that the reason why the orcs and trolls, who were already short of food, were drying up on the other side of the river valley was waiting for the implementation of the fishmen's plan to sneak attack the gray fortress.

Correspondingly, humanity has also entered the stage of full-scale preparation.

The fleets of the various city-states entered the Leoni city-state one after another, and they were attached to two military ports. The allied armies of the city-states were also transported to the city-state of Leoni.

There are a total of twenty-two city-states in the human territory, of which fifteen are distributed on both sides of the Suluo River, and the fleets of the fifteen riverside city-states are gathered together. is a very scary number.

In just one week, the two military ports of the city-state of Leony. The number of battleships increased by hundreds, so that there were not enough berths. Part of the fleet had to anchor in civilian ports.

The rapidly assembled land forces of the city-states converged into a large temporary barracks on the eastern outskirts of Leony, where they were reorganized and their lines of command were clarified, and they were to march in batches to the forward positions in the Arare Valley.

In order to resist the orcs, for hundreds of years, in addition to building three fortresses and three walls in the Arare River Valley, the Leoni city-state also built hundreds of large and small castles on the east bank of the Rogham River, near the plain of the Arare River Valley.

According to what Bai Qida heard, the armies gathered from the various city-states, the smaller ones would be scattered and divided into the various castles, and the larger ones would be sent to the three lines of defense in the Arare River Valley.

Compared with orcs with an average height of two meters and two meters and a weight almost one and a half times that of humans, human beings have an irreparable disadvantage in individual strength, which cannot be compensated even by divine grace equipment, and once the war enters the field stage, the human form will become very dangerous.

In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the city-state of Leony, the orcs have conquered the three lines of defense in the Arare River valley a total of seventeen times, and none of the human coalition forces have been able to stop the orc army on the plain, and all of them have been under the siege of the orc army.

Thankfully, the orcs weren't really interested in human cities, they were mainly for food, and once they had defeated the human coalition on the plains, the orc armies would make their way around the fortified city of Leoni and along the narrow steppes of the southern foothills of the Arare Mountains, plundering the human territory.

They seldom attacked the main city of the city-state, but they would uproot the villages on the outskirts of the city-state and steal the grain.

Every time the orcs break through the valley of the Arare River, not only will it be a disaster for humans, but even the animals on human territory will suffer, and they will be hunted down in large numbers by orcs who are good at hunting.

This is also the reason why the human city-states are so united in the face of orc attacks, once the orcs invade the human territory, it is difficult to drive them out, and the hungry orcs will form a tribe unit, raid the human territory, and even set up camps near the city-state.

The longest time, it took humans a full three years, until the wind and rain were smooth on the orc grassland, and most of the orcs took the initiative to withdraw to their hometowns, before rebuilding the defense line of the Arare River Valley, and then it took another ten years to clear out the orc bandits scattered in the territory, and the vitality of the entire human race was greatly damaged, and it took nearly thirty years to fully recover.

In this time of chaos, no one noticed that the most elite of the Leoni city-state, the 5,000-strong Templar Guard, was quietly missing by 3,000. Among the hundreds of warships anchored in the port west of Leoni, the First Fleet of Leoni City was missing, dozens of assault warships and hundreds of bandit warships.

And in this week. In the merchant castle of Baizi, a great event also took place that caused a sensation in the city of Leony.

At noon that day, Bai Qi went to the temple to meet the consuls. I just returned to the Merchant Castle and was about to dine. Adrian, who had gone to the port to inquire about the news, suddenly hurried back, as if she had something important to report to him, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by the guards.

The panicked guards told Bai Qi, the third largest family in Leony, the patriarch of the Byron family, the commander of the second legion of the Leoni city-state, and the great warrior General Sax suddenly visited.

Bai Qi had to put everything down and personally greeted the castle gate.

When Bai Qi saw General Shack with a gloomy face for the first time. I understand why this general, who only sent a butler to send his own when he came to ask for a meeting, came to visit him.

Because this General Sark is like being carved out of the same mold as Roundup, and seeing him is like seeing Roundup twenty years later.

After General Sax walked into the meeting room, he walked to the main seat and sat down without saying a word, without even looking at Bai Qi, the upstart of the Senate and the red man in front of the consul.

One of his two guards, a reddish-brown beard with a large reddish-brown face that covered almost his entire face, and a strong, bear-like warrior. With an arrogant attitude, he said to Bai Qi: "The general wants to see Young Master Nongda." ”

Bai Qi didn't care about General Sak's rudeness, he even bowed to General Sack very respectfully before exiting the parlor and going to find Nonda. It was as if he were not the owner of the castle, but a steward.

When Bai Qi found Roundup in the military hall on the third floor of the castle's central fortress, he was training with Gunde.

When Roundup heard that General Sak had come looking for him. His face turned red instantly, like an angry bull. Rush towards the parlor on the first floor of the fortress.

Bai Qi sighed and followed behind him.

Roundup rushing into the living room. Staring at the old god General Shack who was sitting on the main seat, his eyes were bloodshot, and even the power of qi and blood in his body involuntarily boiled, covering his body with a thin blood-colored flame.

General Sak didn't seem to care about Rounda's hateful gaze, but stared at the blood flames on Rounda with surprise.

As a great samurai, General Sark can see from the blood flame on Round's body that Roundup has an amazing warrior talent, which is rare even in the noble Byron family for a hundred years.

The Byron family's long-standing bloodline is very strong, and there is a 50% chance that the descendants can stimulate the power of qi and blood to become the Chosen Warrior. An ancient family like the Byron family is called the Divine Family by the natives of this world.

Perhaps it is for the sake of the balance of the world, although the bloodline of the god-descended family is strong, the probability of giving birth to descendants is much smaller than that of ordinary people.

General Sark has countless women and has worked hard all his life, but he only has two sons, who have died in the conspiracy of the battlefield and family feuds.

General Sach may seem to be in his early forties, but he is in fact sixty years old.

For the Divine Descendants, it is almost impossible to give birth to descendants at this age.

At the age of General Sak, he can only maintain his peak combat effectiveness for another ten years at most, and the chosen warriors of this world, once they are over seventy years old, whether they are physically or bloodily powerful, will quickly decay, so even if General Sak is lucky and gives birth to a descendant, he will not have a chance to protect him to grow up and take over the power in his hands.

If General Sak didn't want to give up his position as head of the family to his younger brother, who had murdered his best eldest son, the unexpected birth of his illegitimate son, Round, would be his only option.

Roundup came to this world by accident when General Sark raped a maid on a whim. In order to avoid trouble, General Sack directly drove the maid out of the Sack family along with his father.

As for the child in the maid's belly, General Sark didn't pay attention to it at all, in his opinion, this descendant who was polluted by the blood of a lowly maid could not have too good talent at all, and naturally he was not qualified to have the noble surname Byron.

After losing his two sons, in order to prevent his brother's plot from succeeding, General Sark had no choice but to find out if he could make this bastard with little talent a chosen warrior through guò's brutal training.

Since he didn't report much hope, he was not very thoughtful about Roundup's protection, and that's what happened next. (To be continued......) R1292
