Volume 1: Twilight of the Moon Chapter 2: The Chamber of Secrets
In the dark secret room, under the reflection of several ghost lights, five burly figures appeared on the walls.
"Xiaoyun, what the hell is going on?" King Zhenheng was the first to break the silence.
"What does the four-winged magic arrow represent, I guess I don't need to say more, right?"
"Nonsense! If I didn't know what it meant, would I come?" King Zhengnan obviously didn't want to get too entangled with Xiaoyun on this topic.
Xiaoyun didn't react when he heard this, but slowly said two words: "Orc"
"Ah! Orcs!You're not mistaken!" King Zhengnan didn't expect it to be an orc.
"Xiaoyun, are you sure? Don't make it for a long time, it's false information!"
"Yes, do you think I'm the kind of boring person?" Xiaoyun asked rhetorically.
"General, have you already told Your Majesty this information?" said the Left-Handed King, who had been silent for a long time.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has been informed of this matter, and has appointed the Minister of War, Dasir, to take full responsibility. Since King Leftover was a member of the Granton royal family, Xiaoyun's attitude towards him was much more respectful.
"What? How could Your Majesty give such a foolish order!, what does he Darsil know?" exclaimed the King of Zhengnan, ignoring Darsil's presence.
"Heh, King Zhengnan, don't worry, Your Majesty is just letting Darsil be responsible, not letting him be the commander of the army. Xiaoyun glanced at Darsil and saw that he didn't react before he said.
"Hmph! This is not good, isn't it tantamount to suicide to let someone who has no actual combat experience command us in battle?" the Left-Handed King blurted out, ignoring Darth's feelings.
"That's enough!" When Xiaoyun saw Darth's gloomy face, he quickly interrupted King Left's words, "King Left, Your Majesty only sent Darsil to be in charge of this war, not to make him the commander. Xiaoyun said this sentence almost like a roar.
"Responsible, I don't think it's that simple!" said the Left-Handed King unrelentingly.
"Your Highness, are you here to be your commander-in-chief, and if so, please go out. I tell you the truth, now that the orc army has arrived in the Sha'e Plain, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Mosburg, I have called you here today to discuss the matter of joint troops, and I am so disappointed that you are fighting for the position of commander here. Xiaoyun looked at the three princes in front of him and roared in a low voice.
"How can this be, how can the war have reached such a critical juncture. King Zhengnan sighed softly.
"What about the orc army?"
"I thought you forgot?" said Xiaoyun mockingly, "Darth!
When Darth heard this, he was slightly stunned, but immediately came back to his senses, "As far as I know, the orc army is composed of four tribes of the orc, namely the half-orc department, the man-devouring demon department, the minotaur department and the caveman demon department, and the number of people in each department is about 50,000, a total of more than 200,000" Speaking of this, Darsil paused, and looked at the princes in front of him whose faces changed slightly, "Moreover, there are another 10,000 orc royal clans accompanying him. ”
When he heard this, King Zhenheng, who had the paleest face, finally couldn't support it, "Plop!" and sat down on the wooden chair in the secret room, and muttered uncontrollably: "It's over! Now we're completely finished!"
Xiao Yun's heart became even more angry when he saw it, and his originally gloomy face was now even more terrifying, "What's going on with the Orc Imperial Clan?" Xiao Yun almost gritted his teeth and asked this sentence.
Darsil didn't react, maybe it was because he was already familiar with it, Darsil said calmly: "The Orc Royal Clan, which is a unit subordinate to the Beast Clan's Beamon Royal Clan, usually does not easily participate in foreign wars, but now they have sent 10,000 people, which shows that the leader of the Orc Army this time must be a member of the Beamon Royal Clan." ”
When Xiaoyun heard this, his brain also lost his ability to think, the Beast Imperial Clan, this war has far exceeded his expectations, and it has become more and more difficult.
And the other two princes are not only like this, because they have been in contact with orcs, they are very clear about the terrifying combat power of orcs, and then they are more and more afraid of orcs, not to mention the orc royal team composed of the elite of orcs.
But a famous general is a famous general, and after a short panic, Xiaoyun immediately recovered to his original state. But when he raised his head, he saw the cowardly performance of the princes, and immediately became angry, "Are you afraid? Don't you even see the face of the orcs and retreat?" Xiao Yun said with a ruthless face.
"No!" King Zhengnan protested loudly, what he was afraid of was not the orcs, but the 10,000 orc royal clans that seemed to be a small number, because he knew that the beast royal clans were powerful, and they were definitely a force that could block a hundred with one hundred.
"Aren't you intimidated by the orc army?" Xiaoyun asked rhetorically.
"I'll admit I was scared, but I think anyone who hears an orc attack is scared, but to a different degree. King Zhengnan argued.
"That's right, King Zhengnan is right, the so-called ignorant are not guilty!" King Zhenheng continued, and it seemed that he had come out of that great fear.
"Prince Gesell, what does it mean that those who don't know are not guilty, you explain it to me clearly!" Xiaoyun became angry when he heard this, thinking that he had been talking here for a long time but in exchange for a sentence that the ignorant was not guilty, could he not be angry in his heart?
"Ahh............h Do you know anything about the Beast Clan's royal clan?" King Zhenheng changed the subject when he saw Xiao Yun Tieqing's face.
"Yes, aren't they the most elite troops of the Orcs?" replied Xiaoyun angrily.
"Well, you don't know anything about them. King Zhenheng also ignored Xiaoyun's angry expression and continued, "The Royal Clan of the Beast Clan is an extremely powerful force of the Beast Clan, but the number is not large, and it is stable at about 100,000 people all year round............
"How can it be so little?"
"That's because the selection conditions for the Orc Royal Clan's team are extremely harsh. ”
"Extremely harsh, what do you mean?"
"The members of the clan are all selected from the elites of the various tribes of the beast clan, and after reaching a certain number, they will not join the clan immediately, but let them enter the Warcraft Forest in groups of two, but those who can stay in the Warcraft Forest for a month and can return safely are eligible to join the beast royal team. ”
"Oh my God! A month! Even the Sword Saint can't guarantee that he can stay safely in the dangerous Warcraft Forest for a month" Xiaoyun now understands why the three princes acted like this just now, although those orcs live in the Warcraft Forest all year round and may know some ways to survive, but that is the Warcraft Forest after all! Just imagine, 10,000 orcs whose strength far exceeds that of high-level warriors face the same number of ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, oh my God! This is simply a massacre! You must know that it is easier for a high-level warrior to kill an ordinary soldier than to pinch an ant to death, let alone an orc whose body shape and strength are several times stronger than that of humans, this is definitely an overwhelming advantage! Not to mention against a soldier who is ten times larger than the enemy, I think it is estimated that this 10,000-strong beast royal clan can also deal with it easily.
So Xiaoyun came to a sad conclusion, this time the kingdom of Granton may not be able to escape.
"General, are we still fighting this battle?" Although Darsil was familiar with the orcs, when he heard the fierceness of the orc royal warband, he basically gave up the idea of going head-to-head with the orc army.
"Hit!" Xiaoyun almost blurted out.
"How do we fight? The gap between us and the orc army is here, we can't fight the 10,000 orc royal team alone, not to mention the remaining 200,000 orc army. The Left-Handed King said loudly.
"As long as we don't give up, there will always be a way, I promise!" Xiaoyun obviously knew that the method he said was just a procrastination, so he didn't have a lot of confidence.
"Hehe, what a way, you have to say it!" the Left-handed King did not back down at all, and continued to press.
"Although the orcs are quite strong, but the number is too small to only more than 200,000, and what about us? The Blue Wolf Legion to which I belong alone has 200,000 people, plus the Purple Mandarin Legion of the King of Zhengnan, the Xuanji Legion of the King of Zhenheng, your Heavenly Guardian Army and the Hongling Envoy of Darsil, and possibly the Royal Guard, these add up to at least more than 500,000 people, I don't believe that with the strength of our country, the orcs can be defeated by 210,000 people who are several times more than our own. As he spoke, Xiao Yun's original fear of the beast clan's royal clan had long been thrown out of the clouds.
As if he had been infected by Xiaoyun, King Zhengnan also said excitedly: "Yes, we must not set this precedent, after all, there is no precedent on the continent for a human nation to surrender to a foreign race without a fight. ”
"I'm going to let those stupid orcs know the consequences of invading our country!" King Zhenheng finally put aside his fear of orcs after thinking for a long time.
After hearing the answers of the two princes, Xiaoyun became even more firm in his position - to retreat from the orcs!
With a few glances, the Left-handed King knew that he had to make a statement, "Hey! ”
....................................
General's Mansion, back garden
"Brother Yitian, I just saw Uncle Gesell..............." Yuelun sat beside Yi Tian as always, talking about what he had seen and heard along the way.
At this time, Yi Tian didn't have the heart to listen to what Yuelun said next, and his keen judgment told him that this matter was not simple. King Zhenheng never seemed to have appeared in his own mansion in his memory, the last time he came to the General's Mansion was when Yi Tian was one year old, but today he suddenly appeared without warning, there must be something wrong with this.
But Yi Tian thought about it, no! What could he do to King Zhenheng to make him so abnormal? This made Yi Tian puzzled, economically? Impossible, what did he say that King Zhenheng was also a prince, and he shouldn't have made any economic mistakes or lack of money to spend! Besides, even if he was short of money, he didn't need to come to my father, although my father was an old man, although he was a general, his family wealth was far inferior to that of several other powerful ministers!
Is it political? It's not right, Yi Tian immediately denied this conjecture, who in the royal capital doesn't know that King Zhenheng is a famous tendon, he rarely participates in politics, even if there is a huge political crisis, it will not be his turn!
In this case, then there is only one left, the military! This seems to be unreliable, and the country seems to be peaceful recently, so looking at this situation, we can basically negate the possibility of a civil war. This is even more impossible, although our Granton Kingdom is not as good as the four major empires on the mainland and the Empty Church, it is not easy to provoke, and it is estimated that no country will invade easily.
"What is the reason for that?" Yi Tian couldn't help but muttered softly.
"Brother Yitian, what are you talking about?" Yuelun was unhappy when she saw that Yi Tian rarely listened to herself.
"Oh, nothing, nothing............ I was just wondering how Uncle Gesell, who had always lived in seclusion. Yi Tian only held back a sentence for a long time, it's not easy!
"Oh!" Yuelun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, "It turns out that Brother Yitian is thinking about this! Actually, this is very simple, it may be that Uncle Gesell misses you, or maybe he wants to play chess with Uncle Xiaoyun!" Yuelun said extremely simply.
"I hope so!" Yi Tian sighed as he looked into the distance.
....................................
Almost at the same time, on the not far plain of Sha'e, there was also a person in a daze looking at Mosburg in the distance, but this person was a little special, because he was not a human in the true sense of the word - Yueyan Beamon, the third prince of the beast clan.
As we all know, the current beast clan is under the rule of the beast emperor Xingzhuo Beamon, he has nine sons and four daughters, but it is not the eldest prince Yuelu Beamon who is recognized as the next beast emperor, nor the second prince Yueling Beamon, but the commander of the current beast army, Yueyan Beamon, because the beast clan does not have the habit of the eldest son ascending the throne, so whoever has the highest prestige will be the beast emperor. However, in all fairness, the eldest prince has been stationed at the border of the orc empire for decades, and hundreds of large and small wars have not been really defeated, and he is known as the first god of war of the beast clan, and his reputation is not comparable to that of the three princes, but for some reason the beast emperor does not like him, and he has been stationed at the border for many years, without the slightest intention of letting him ascend the throne, and he also knows it, so he is safe to be his beast border guardian.
And the second prince is a very special person, the other beast princes are more than three or four meters tall, and his body is very strong, but he is only more than two meters tall, although this can be regarded as a giant in the human race, but in the beast race, it can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches, and he has not been interested in martial arts since he was a child, which also makes him need the close protection of many beast masters when he reaches adulthood. But for him, the Beast Emperor was unexpectedly extremely favored, and he didn't look down on him at all. Why? Not because of anything else, it is precisely because he has a super high IQ that cannot be matched by any one of the beasts, especially in the war strategy, the beasts are unsurpassed, and several times his wise choices have helped his eldest brother turn the whole war around, so he is also known as the "Four Alien Warriors" together with the other three alien elites, although he rarely appears, but still has a lot of prestige in the beasts.
Although the fourth prince of the beast clan, Yuexiao Beamon, is young, but he should not be underestimated. He is a famous genius among the beasts, not only did he successfully tame a Beamon beast at the age of twelve, becoming the youngest royal family in the history of the beast clan to tame the Beamon beast. And in other aspects, he is also trying to get involved as much as possible, whether it is war strategy, or martial arts, spells, he will be one or two, although unilaterally he is not as good as his eldest brothers, but in terms of comprehensiveness, he is really unprecedented in the entire beast clan, and there is no one after him.
And the other princes of the Beast Emperor are all young, and they don't have any capital to compete with their elder brothers, so the only ones who can really ascend the throne of the Beast Emperor are the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, the eldest prince is not favored and he is willing to give up the throne, although the second prince has superior intelligence, but the martial arts are too poor so it is almost impossible to ascend the throne, and what about the fourth prince? Beamon was already the only candidate for the Beast Emperor, and all he lacked now was prestige, so the Beast Emperor would send him to lead this almost victorious army to attack the Kingdom of Granton.
But now, he hesitated about Mosburg, which seemed to be on the verge of breaking in front of him. It was not that he could not break through the fortress in front of him, but he felt that it was all too smooth, and he began to think about the cause of this war, "to fight back against the invaders, to beat the invaders".
The Beast Crossing and the Kingdom of Granton are separated by an entire Republic of Niltz, even if they want to invade the Orcs, they have to pass through the entire Republic of Niltz, not to mention whether the Republic agrees, even if they successfully transport their troops to the edge of the Beast Forest, will they be able to cross the dangers of the Forest of Warcraft and reach the place where the Orcs live? Even if they can reach it, will they be the opponents of the Orcs? The answer is definitely no, at least in the thousand-year history of the Nabis Continent, no country dares to take the initiative to invade the Orcs, oh! Except for the church. Then why did my father tell me that the main purpose of this expedition was to set foot on Granton, and to serve as a warning to those who dared to invade the Forest of Warcraft, is this a big conspiracy?
"Your Highness, the Prophet has called you over and said that he has important information to report to you. A half-orc with an order said respectfully.
"Teacher, what will happen to him? Is there any further news?" said the three princes, with questions, to a large tent where the Prophet lived.
"Teacher, you call me!" the third prince did not rush into the tent, but called out outside the tent very respectfully.
Almost at the same time, the curtain of the tent was opened, and out of it came a minotaur prophet with a body of more than three meters and a pair of huge acute horns on his head.
"Your Highness, forgive me for being a step late, I ............... just now," said the two of them, who had already entered the tent, while the attendants retreated to the door in amusement.
"According to the report of the Wolf Cavalry Patrol just now, they found that the movement of troops in Mosburg has become very frequent, as if most of them are not the original defenders of the fort, and they have also heard that reinforcements are already on their way to Mosburg. ”
"I had long expected that the lack of an attack in the past few days was for their sake, and when they were completely under my control, I would give them a pot to wipe out all their living forces on this Sha'e plain. ”
"Your Highness, the Sha'e Plain is vast and not suitable for ambush warfare. Prophet Kukunstan advised.
"Haha, don't worry, teacher, I didn't say that I was going to ambush them on the plains! I have my own way to make these insatiable humans go and never return!" said the third prince heroically.
