Chapter 8 Civilization as a Threat

Outside the city of Shingon, in the camp of the Blood Army, in the royal tent of Grand Duke Lucius.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent was solemn and almost suffocating, in addition to Grand Duke Lucius, the two marquis of the nine marquis of the blood clan who accompanied the march of the central army were also among them, their faces were difficult to see the extreme, not to mention other middle-level nobles, some people had to clench their teeth to hold back from crying.

The butter torches burned silently, and the dim light reflected everyone's faces in the flickering light, taking advantage of the white and blue faces of the people in the tent, not only did not bring a trace of warmth, but added a few gloomy and terrifying colors to the tent.

"Your Majesty." After a while, the Marquis of Alucado broke the silence, "Are we going to take revenge?" ”

Grand Duke Lucius was sitting silently behind the square table at this time, with his eyes closed, his hands crossed on his forehead, and when he heard the Marquis of Alucardo's question, he didn't open his eyes, but asked lightly: "Alucardo, have you heard the details of this battle?" ”

"Yes." Marquis of Alucado replied.

"Then why are you asking this question?" Grand Duke Lucius opened his eyes and stared at him with burning eyes.

Marquis Alucardo gritted his teeth, he was just a little unwilling, after all, this loss had already broken their blood clan.

"It only took three days for Charlie, the king of domestic animals, to train 100,000 defeated soldiers into an army of madmen who dared to fight for their lives, and how many humans are there in the Western Continent? How many of these human beings have a blood feud with us? Do you think we'll have a chance of winning against such a guy? Marquis Lucius asked expressionlessly.

The Marquis of Alucado did not speak again, because the answer was obvious: no, they had no chance of winning at all! When the humans do not have the determination to burn jade, they can still rely on their strength advantage to crush them, but once they have a king who can arouse the hatred in their hearts and give them the courage to burn jade, then they will no longer have an advantage in the face of humans. Because in this battle, as long as more than 800,000 humans can spare their lives, then their blood clan will be wiped out......

"And the Assassin." Archduke Lucius's eyes narrowed, "Do you think you're all stronger than Dennis Nicklaus?" ”

The middle-level nobles shook their heads directly, while the two marquis glanced at each other and did not speak, because their skills and Nicklaus were both half-hearted, and no one could say who could be stronger than whom.

"But you, Your Majesty!" The other marquis, Pais, frowned.

Grand Duke Lucius is the strongest man in the Western Continent, the only dragon knight in history, and with him, any human powerhouse is just a fish belly.

Grand Duke Lucius shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Payis, do you think the blood dragon's skull can withstand the direct shooting of the bed crossbow at close range?" ”

Marquis of Payis thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It should be no problem." ”

"Hmm." Grand Duke Lucius also nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about the artillery?" As far as I know, humans already have fire~ guns, and I believe you also know that guns are more difficult to build than cannons, and if humans had guns, then cannons would naturally not be a problem for them. ”

"Fire ...... Artillery?! Marquis Pais's eyes widened in shock, and his mouth could not be closed, he never dreamed that His Majesty the Grand Duke would mention such a thing.

The Marquis of Alucado on the side also looked similar, but those middle-level nobles had inexplicable expressions on their faces when they heard the word "artillery".

Grand Duke Lucius replied for him with a sinking face: "No matter how hard the bones are, they cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery. It's like a nomadic empire that is strong in the face of industrialized countries, but it can only be beaten passively. ”

"Artillery, do you mean ......?!" Both marquis looked incredulous.

"That's right." Grand Duke Lucius nodded and smiled bitterly: "To put it mildly, the gears of history are turning again. ”

"So what do we do?!" Marquis of Alucado asked.

Grand Duke Lucius was silent.

"No, let's make guns and cannons, right?" The Marquis de Pais suggested that it was not that they could not make it, but that they could not do it for some reason.

"Idiot, do you want us to perish with humanity?!" Grand Duke Lucius immediately scolded, "Why do you think the gods want to destroy humanity? ”

"This ......" Seeing the rare fury of His Majesty the Grand Duke, the Marquis of Pais shrunk his neck, he hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Because they are uninvited guests to the gods, an unplanned product?" ”

Grand Duke Lucius shook his head: "It's not just that, because humanity is trying to get rid of the darkness and say goodbye to obscurantism. And a human society that is no longer in darkness and obscurity is undoubtedly a great threat to the gods! You must know that all the scientific and technological progress of the old human race has been achieved in almost two hundred years, and for the gods whose time passes at a different speed than ours, two hundred years is as short as a white horse, and they will not take this risk to make another threat bigger! Whether this threat comes from the humans or us, or even the orcs and the undead. ”

And so...... Are we safe as long as we remain in darkness and obscurity? Marquis Alucado pondered.

"That's right!"

Grand Duke Lucius nodded heavily, as the ancestor of the Blood Clan who had recovered his memory, he knew the urine nature of the "gods" best.

"For nearly 100,000 years since I regained my memory, I have maintained the political system of the feudal era, leading you to live a medieval life, what do you think is the reason?" Grand Duke Lucius asked in a deep tone.

Alucardo and Pais looked at each other again, and no longer tried to argue, they bowed to Archduke Lucius and said:

"Everything is as commanded by His Majesty the Grand Duke!"

The earls and viscounts who were in a fog saw the two marquis expressions, and hurriedly bowed to the Grand Duke Lucius, saying "I respectfully obey the orders of His Majesty the Grand Duke"!

Grand Duke Lucius nodded with satisfaction and began to give orders: "Send someone to send an order to the other six-way military horses, asking them to still go south according to the original plan, complete the blood migration, and not try to go west to avenge Nicklaus and them." ”

"Understood." The nobles of the eternal night said in unison.

"Order the remnants of Nicklaus not to go any further south, but to return north to their lair in the north!"

The nobles of the Eternal Night still nodded, it was necessary, the remnants of Nicklaus's army had suffered a new crushing defeat, and the human forces in their vicinity would surely be demoralized when they heard of Charlie Andrith's victory. If those remnants of the defeated army continue to move south, they may add a lot of losses, and this time the losses of their Grand Duchy of Eternal Night are already large enough, a full tenth of the population has been reduced to dust, and it really can't be lost any longer.

"And we, on the other hand, will march westward and go to the Western Governor's Mansion of the Brown Empire to burn and plunder." Finally, Archduke Lucius said.

"Western Governor's Palace?!" The eyes of the nobles of the Eternal Night widened in surprise.

"Yes." A sinister smile appeared on Grand Duke Lucius's face, "I heard that the Western Governor's Mansion of the Brown Men was also involved in the battle with Nicklaus and them, and since this is the case, they must pay the price!" ”

"That's right, make them pay!" The earls and viscounts shouted loudly.

"But...... What if Charlie Andris brought troops to help? Marquis Alucado asked with a frown.

"Don't be afraid, let's slaughter a few cities and leave." Grand Duke Lucius said with a wave of his hand.

"But isn't this an escape?" The Marquis of Pais asked with a shocked face, Charlie is coming, they will leave, what is the difference between this and running away?

Hearing him say this, the middle-level nobles who had just been plucked up were immediately deflated.

Grand Duke Lucius looked at him in annoyance and said, "Do you have to say this word?" ”

The Marquis de Pais was speechless.

"And then? Ten years from now, are we going to start a blood migration? "The Marquis of Alucado is undoubtedly thinking further.

Archduke Lucius's face twitched a few times, and he squeezed out a few words: "When the time comes, the camera will act." ”

The blood clan was silent, the meaning of the Grand Duke was very simple, if the human race was not finished in ten years, they would move according to the strength of the other party, and if the human race was finished after ten years, then they would not have to migrate blood, just find a few orc tribes nearby to slaughter and eat.

It's just that what the blood clans, including their Grand Duke Lucius, didn't know was that their conversation had unreservedly reached the ears of the immortal kingdom envoy Ming Zhengfa.

Unlike the rest of the world, because there is no obstruction from religious forces, the magic research of the Undead Kingdom is the farthest and most developed, and many spells that other races have never heard of, such as space magic and sound transmission magic, they have mastered it proficiently.

At this moment, under the real-time "broadcast" of a dead spirit sticking to the outside of the tent and using sound transmission magic, more than ten miles away, the Ming Zhengfa group who had already embarked on the way home listened to their conversation clearly.

"After this defeat, the blood clan has broken its guts!" Skeleton Knight Frank Lampard said in relief.

"yes!" Ming Zhengfa shook the goose feather fan, and said with a smile on his chest: "In the future, the war to completely sweep away the human beings in the Western Continent can only rely on our immortal kingdom, but fortunately, the kingdom is ready!" ”

Hearing this, all the undead in the team raised their faces proudly, the will of the gods can only be carried out by the races created by the gods themselves! The world of the future will be, and can only be ruled by the Immortal Kingdom!

And the relics of the old world will always be honest in the corners of the continent!
