Chapter 252: Stirring Up the Situation
A remnant of a soldier who had originally carried out the suicidal mission of covering the retreat of the main force, a chess piece that had been abandoned, because of the spectators who had been hiding deep before, suddenly turned into a chess player, and made a surprise move to interfere with the chessboard that was about to overturn, although it retreated in a remote corner, but won a respite.

The orcs of the Blackcastle-Cambert Territory not only silently accumulate strength, but their very existence is like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, becoming a sacred place for many slaves to smash the shackles of enslavement and flee to live freely.
The human aristocracy of the Duchy of Virginie intentionally or unintentionally connived at the repeated occurrence of orc escapes, but they did not find a way to stop them, and they were all involved in the inheritance of the inheritance of the war-killed Count Fair-Munster.
The atmosphere between the three heirs in line is also very strange, with a unified external voice, only talking about the reconstruction of the territory and the aftermath, but secretly looking for powerful nobles in the country and seeking their support and help.
After all, the main city of the Munster family was completely crushed by the army led by the orc overseer Krum Roar, and the sacrifice of blood was completely crushed, and the loss of the wealth accumulated by the family over the years was secondary, and the death of the patriarch Count Fair-Munster in battle and the mass death of the family elite were the biggest damage.
Not only has many hidden inheritances been severed, but the once scattered big family has suddenly become thin, which is an unforgivable blow to any great nobleman who once stood at the top of the power ladder.
Fortunately, the Druid master Vonibel did not abandon the Munster family at a critical time, and perhaps he did not dare to openly distance himself from his friend's family in the current difficult situation.
Having just recovered from his health, Vonebel immediately set out for the Misty Mountains of the Duchy of Heatern to find his High Elf friend, made promises, sold many favors, and borrowed from him the secret treasure of the Emerald Court, the amphora containing the endless river of sand.
Back in the main city where the Munster family was in ruins, the Druid Master used this pot to summon a hundred sand giants, the height of two adults, and their thick legs that shook the ground every time they stepped into the ground. They don't go hungry, they don't sleep, they don't get tired, they have a bit of a worrying intelligence, but under the command of Vonebel, they are capable of many heavy carrying tasks.
It is worth mentioning that the body of the sand and stone giant is the best bonding material, and the cut stone strips will be covered with a layer of dusty mortar when they touch it with their hands, and it will not take long for it to solidify into a whole when it is close to the surrounding unfinished city wall.
It only took three days for the slimmed sand giant to repair the outer walls of Munster's main city, repairing the existing broken walls much faster than building them out of thin air.
After the completion of the outer wall of the main city, the Munster family seemed to have regained some confidence, and the friendship and support of a large number of vassals and branch families arrived in no particular order, perhaps closely related to the imminent separation of the three heirs.
The eldest son, Fern Munster, was finally supported by the long-delayed Archduke Summer, and the family's druid master seemed to like the mediocre and incompetent future earl who had great respect for Vonebel himself.
Soon, the Bloodline, who had severed their secret ties, also gave up their favored third heir, and after receiving the promise of Finn Munster, they also chose this more controllable young man.
From beginning to end, Aldrich Tris, who watched the matter coldly, couldn't help but sigh that the order of the southern aristocracy was tighter than he imagined, but after the blow, the strength of the Munster family was greatly reduced.
When the gradual decline became a ready-made fact, many nobles who wanted to go further and elevate their family's position in the power ladder of the Duchy of Virginy secretly carried out secret operations, including bribery, assassination, persuasion, annexation and other unsightly but extremely normal means.
The hunting team, consisting of the Blood Knights and the Vampire Baron, tacitly stopped the operation of strangling the remnants of the orc army, and instead demanded that the family fulfill the promise they had made. When the reward is delayed, discontent and resistance gradually spread among the ranks of these Bloodline.
In the fifth-ranked big family of the Undead Empire, Count Mellon, who is at the top, of course, also has his position, at least after completely strangling the orc fugitive slaves, it is not too late to reward meritorious deeds.
He could not accept the self-righteous invitations and rewards of the "warriors" and "teenagers" at the bottom. If you choose to compromise this time, you will never be at peace in the future.
Whoever has done a little meritorious service will ask for a reward with great vigour, and if he scolds him a little, he will argue with today's example.
This must not be the case!
Once you nod your head, you will not hesitate to dig a gap in the thousand-mile embankment, and the surging tide will wash away all the existing order.
"Just clean them all up!"
Count Mellon had turned this terrible thought a thousand times, and at critical moments, his reason completely extinguished this delusional backfire.
The fourth closed-door meeting of the family was held without preparation, and in response to the reward for the meritorious work of the suppression of the orc slave rebellion, Stiheck Mellon, as the patriarch, allowed the family members to speak.
The viscounts, who had placed their favored descendants in the hunting team and cultivated them silently, were also dissatisfied with the ugly faces of the people at the bottom, and did not want to see the opportunity for promotion slip through their fingers, so they decided to use a delaying strategy after weighing the pros and cons.
When word spread through the covert channels, which must have been done by some of the attendees, the Blood Hunt Team simply put aside the task of extermination on their shoulders and chose to respond with slackness.
Their counterattack is only this one, and a more drastic means may be in danger of touching the bottom line and dare not use it.
When the closing siege disintegrated and loosened on its own, the remnants of the Orc Expeditionary Corps were given a chance to breathe, and Aldrich Tris, known as "Palanturu", led them to silently gather strength and build a new home in the ruins.
One after another, the orc laborers who chose to flee and longed for a free life fled into this holy land, and the area along the Benniu River led by Blackcastle-Cumbert has gradually become the hope of the huge number of slaves in many southern principalities.
The spirit maiden of the Kirov airship, who had secretly returned to the sea, brought good news to Aldrich Tris, "Chief Kruren Shixin has led nearly 10,000 free people to the land of mountains safely. The Iron Tribe, replenished by a large population, and knowing that the Dandelion Project was being implemented, seemed to have a new idea. ”
As long as the weakened remnants of the orcs exist, the human slave owners and the Bloods of the Duchy of Virgini will not join forces, and pulling each other back is the manifestation of their complicated relationship. ”
"Let's get started! Attract orc fugitives to the Black Castle-Cumbert Lord's unique status and send them to the Iron Tribe through a secret passage to further strengthen this war-mad beast. ”
Dozens of tinder, led by Krum Roar, secretly infiltrated the interior of the southern principalities. With these veterans of the struggle very experienced taking the lead, the previously haphazard uprising - a shameful rebellion for the slave owners - officially took on a new form.
As long as slavery existed, slavery and tortured labor was fertile soil. Bloody killings are definitely not the best way to go, on the contrary, in addition to proving the illegality of the brutal rule of the slave owners, it also shows their inward-looking side.
"Kill!"
"The head of the person who kills the ground is rolling, and the blood of the killing person is drifting!"
"Kill all the orcs and abandon their illusions, and kill all the slaves of the land to stand up and take up arms and fight fiercely. ”
"It is better to kill all the kneeling and moderate neutrals among the orcs, and the rest are staunch warriors, and then go into battle against the slave owners without hesitation. ”
"Parantulu" unabashedly preached to the remnants of the expeditionary legion, and the strong contagion and the idea of till death resonated feverishly with all the orc warriors, even if there were a few so-called moderates who were shaken in their hearts, they were carried by the surrounding atmosphere, and let out bursts of angry roars.
Although the large-scale battle in front of him has stopped, the strangulation of the hunters in the private squad has not stopped, whether it is the revenge from the human nobles or the accumulation of merits by the members of the blood lineage, the bloody facts do not lie, and there is only one path in front of them.
"Slaves and slave owners do not belong to one kingdom!"
Aldrich Triss's words drew a shout from the crowd again, and the emotions burned as if they were burning, and even if he did not see with discerning eyes, he could feel the boiling will.
"All human beings are created equal. ”
This sentence blurted out, and the Virtue Knight suddenly felt that the rules that suppressed him were slightly loosened, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart to get such a reward for a little temptation, and almost said that I have a dream, but fortunately he stopped in time.
Giving the remnants of the Expeditionary Legion a shot of chicken blood, they were so excited that they were eager to go to the battlefield immediately, and poured a bowl of chicken soup for the soul to determine a lofty but reachable goal for them to pursue.
"Since we want to serve as a beacon of freedom and a holy place of hope, of course, we must pour some chicken soup from time to time, otherwise the empty spirit will have no sustenance, and sooner or later it will be tamed again by the slave owners. ”
Aldrich Triss pondered his next steps and walked down from the open-air balcony of the main building of Castle Black to the middle of the crowd. Those who are familiar with Paranturu have turned a blind eye to his human face, and only the orc fugitive slaves who have recently sought freedom will show a surprised expression, but after hearing what he just said, no one will regard him as an outsider anymore.
The Bloodline spies and human spies who secretly infiltrated the Black Castle were terrified and terrified of Aldrich Triss, and it was hard to believe that a human could win the approval and support of the orcs, but more of a disgust or fear of his words.
If his "prophecy" really came true, then many southern principalities would collapse completely, and the high slave owners would no longer be able to bend down to the fields to plow, to pick orchards, to go to rivers and woodlands to fish and hunt.
The southern plantation economic system was based entirely on the brutal suppression and total exploitation of all the output of slaves, and once all the hard laborers rebelled, everyone had to be doomed, after all, the great powers of Middle-earth who started the process of industrialization one after another, accumulated power at an unimaginably fast rate.
The abolition of slavery was not initiated by the virtuous knight Aldrich Triss. As early as five years ago, there was an insightful monarch who complied with the needs of the mainstream of domestic industry and commerce and gave some slaves the status of free people.
"What a dangerous man! I underestimate his destructive power. ”
Staying in a corner of Castle Black, there is also the Lord of Sword Bay, the transcendent warrior at the end of the road, and Ransenlot, who has entered the hero level, and finally made up his mind to fight Aldrich Tris.
