Sarn Village.

Su Yang was comfortably basking in the sun, and suddenly Linus's shout came from inside the house.

"Hey, little Yoko, come over here. ”

"It's coming. ”

Su Yang agreed, got up and walked towards the house.

As soon as he entered, he saw Linus holding a letter and reading it carefully.

"What's the matter? ”

Linus didn't answer, just looked at the content of the letter, Su Yang also knew that the content of the letter should be very important, otherwise Linus would not have made such a solemn look.

"Alas..."Linus sighed, looked at Su Yang and said, "Xiao Yangzi, didn't you say that you came back this time to agree to the request of Simon, the new elder of the Magic Guild, to join the Gran Forest Vision Investigation Team this time." ”

"yes, what's wrong?what's going on?" Su Yang looked at Linus curiously.

"What's the matter, heh, I guess the departure time of this investigation team is going to be postponed. ”

"Why?"

"You know that the orc tribes of the orc steppes have suddenly launched an attack on the Blazing Empire. Linus asked.

Su Yang nodded, "I know, I also met the orcs slaughtering the city when I came back, but I didn't catch the rescue, and the few friends I met there went to Lothar City to help." I'm going to take care of the Glen Forest and go to Lothar to meet them. But what does this have to do with the Mission?"

"It's too much to do with it, and Simon, the head of your investigation team, is going to die himself. When returning from the Blazing Empire, he changed his route without authorization and passed through the battle zone between the Blazing Empire army and the Beast Tribe, and was killed on the spot by a team of mysterious powerhouses of the Beast Tribe. If the Magic Guild has to conduct this investigation, it will be a week before you come from the Imperial Capital and send individuals from the new faction, so I say that your investigation will be postponed. Linus said slowly.

"Simon is dead?Is the news reliable?" Su Yang said in surprise: "This Simon is also the peak strength of the Magister, and he was killed by the people of the Beast Tribe so easily? Is the Beast Tribe so strong? And the Magic Guild doesn't plan to take any retaliatory measures? After all, it was the elder of his own family who was killed." ”

"Xiao Yangzi, don't underestimate the beast tribe, although they are not as powerful as the beast alliance that dominated the entire Arad continent back then, but they have continued to have their strength for hundreds of years, and no one knows how many strong people the beast clan has born in these hundreds of years. As for whether the Magic Guild will retaliate on this matter, it depends on whether the Magic Guild has the temper to just wave with the beast tribe. Linus said.

"Okay, I thought there was something big, isn't it just that the departure time has been delayed, it doesn't matter, I can rest for a few more days, anyway, Old Man Zhou gave me a long vacation. Su Yang pursed his lips and said indifferently.

With that, Su Yang turned around and walked out. Linus looked at Su Yang's back and said thoughtfully, "I hope that this vision of the Gran Forest has nothing to do with the sudden attack of the beast tribe, otherwise this continent will really be in chaos." ”

......

Lost City.

Since ancient times, it has been the most stable city on the border of the Blazing Empire, not that there are many strong people in the Blazing Empire, but the unique environment of the Blazing Empire has deterred many invaders who have bad intentions towards the Blazing Empire.

The Lost City is located in the center of the Flame Hills, the hottest place in the Flame Empire, and the reason why it is the hottest place is that the entire Flame Hills are covered with extinct volcanoes. Although these volcanoes have not erupted for hundreds or even millennia, the magma inside them is still flowing slowly. And because the surface layer of the Flame Hills is very shallow, the temperature of the entire Flame Hills is seven or eight degrees higher than the average temperature of the other Flame Empires due to the influence of the high magma underground. The abundance of the fire elemental is also the first in the entire Blazing Empire.

If it's just the high temperature, what makes those who invade the Blazing Empire despair the most is the fact that the extinct volcano around the labyrinthine city emits a yellowish smoke that makes people hallucinate all year round. The reason why the Lost City was named the Lost City was precisely because of the existence of this smoke.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, and under the influence of this smoke, the environment of the Lost City is not conducive to the lives of ordinary people at all, so the Blazing Empire simply transformed it into a military city, and stationed a 100,000-strong army in the city as a garrison all year round.

And just three days ago, the 300,000 orc army that originally besieged Lothar City disappeared overnight, but before the people of the Blazing Empire could breathe a sigh of relief, the 300,000 orc army quietly appeared around the maze city, besieging the maze city to the ground.

In the labyrinth, the Cangyan Legion is stationed.

Yan Zhengtian is forty-two years old this year, the cousin of Yan Mad of the contemporary patriarch of the Yan family of the Blazing Empire, and his strength is the junior level of the Sword Sect. Three years ago, he was ordered to lead the Cangyan Legion under his command to garrison in the Lost City. And it was precisely because of the special environment of the Lost City that he had broken through from the intermediate strength of the Great Sword Master to the current primary level of the Sword Sect in just three years.

On the morning of the third day of the siege of the lost city, Yan Zhengtian summoned his generals early in the morning to discuss how to deal with the beasts.

"Legion Commander, I don't think we can defend to the death, so let's call for help from the Heavenly Fire Capital as soon as possible. A general who looked like a captain said loudly.

Yan Zhengtian glanced at the general, and instead of agreeing, he asked, "How much food is there in the city?"

The other captain, who stood to his left, replied, "There are plenty of arrows, but the amount of grain and grass is only enough for a month." Because Lothar City was besieged before, the imperial capital ordered us to transport most of the grain to Lothar City to support, but I didn't expect this beast tribe to be so cunning that it suddenly appeared around our labyrinth with a false shot. ”

"In other words, food is our biggest problem right now. "Yanzheng Heavenly Dao.

"That's right, Legion Commander, that's why my subordinates advised you to ask for help. When it comes to going into battle to kill the enemy, the big guys are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that there is not enough food and grass, and the feeling of hunger is really uncomfortable. ”

"Yes, Legion Commander, we also think General Zhang is reasonable, ask for help. ”

For a while, the generals in the big tent said one after another.

Yan Zhengtian frowned, sighed for a long time, and said: "Alas, do I still need you to tell me for help? As soon as the lost city was besieged, I sent three groups of messengers to the imperial capital to send a message for help. It may not succeed, it's hard to say, I just hope that the gods will bless, and one or two of these three groups of messengers will be able to rush out. ”

"By the way, what's going on with the besieging orc army?"

"There hasn't been much movement, and according to the observation post at the head of the city, the orc army has not launched a single attack on us in the past three days, except for building a camp. The general surnamed Zhang said.

"Yes, it seems that the orcs were premeditated this time, I guess they may have known from some source that the amount of food in our city is not very sufficient, so they made up their minds to die with us. Yan Zhengtian analyzed.

"Then aren't they afraid that we will mobilize an army to make them dumplings?"

When Yan Zhengtian heard this, he smiled bitterly: "The combat power of an orc warrior is equivalent to four to five of our soldiers, a full 300,000 orc army, if we want to eat them in one bite, we have to use millions of troops." But now most of the troops on the border of the empire are stationed in the city of Lothar, and the emperor knows the situation here or not. So with this time difference, the orcs have plenty of time for us to spend on. ”

The generals in the tent heard Yan Zhengtian's analysis, and after thinking about it, it was indeed reasonable for Yan Zhengtian's analysis, and then he stopped speaking, and the tent fell silent for a while.

"Report!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a report suddenly came from outside the big tent.

"Come in. ”

As Yan Zhengtian's words fell, a small soldier who looked like a herald walked in from outside the tent. After respectfully saluting Yan Zhengtian and the rest of the generals, he spoke: "Report to the legion commander, the orc army outside the city has moved. ”

"Oh, what's the move?"

"Early this morning, the orcs who had built the camp suddenly stopped what they were doing, and instead drove many civilians from the camp to dig a pit in the Burning Hills. ”

"Dig a pit, are they going to bury those innocent civilians alive!" exclaimed one of the generals.

"They dare!" Yan Zhengtian was furious, and then waved his hand, "Let's go, follow me to the city to check, I want to see what these uncivilized things are doing." ”

"Yes!"

......

Inside the Orc camp.

Bands of orc soldiers were constantly using their weapons to drive away the common people who had looted from the border cities of the Blazing Empire.

"Hey, brother, do you know why the High Priest wants us to capture these helpless fellows alive, these guys stay in the camp for no purpose other than wasting our little food. An orc infantry asked in a daze.

"Hey, I don't know, I just know that it's right to listen to the high priest. Another orc infantry replied.

In fact, needless to say, these infantry at the bottom, even the chieftains of the beast clan, don't know why the high priest would issue such an order.

Inside the big tent.

The chiefs and generals of the more than a dozen beast tribes gathered in front of an old orc in the center of the big tent and said nonsense: "High priest, why did you send those weak humans to dig a pit? Could it be that the high priest plans to bury them alive to sacrifice to the beast god?"

The old orc shook his head and said nothing.

The chiefs were anxious when they saw that the old orcs still refused to say anything, and one of them said loudly: "High priest, you can tell us, so that we can have an explanation for the tribesmen under us, after all, this war is too hasty, many small tribes have not prepared enough food, and now they have to spend a lot of food to feed these weak humans." If you don't explain the reason, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress the emotions of my subordinates. ”

"Presumptuous!"

A strong orc standing behind the old orc shouted: "How can you be so rude to the high priest, if you don't manage the people in your hands and scold you as a chief, don't be a chief! ”

"The Great Chieftain ......"

The rest of the little chiefs were silent when they saw the big chief's anger.

At this time, the old orc sitting on the ground coughed, slowly stood up and said, "Since you all want to know the reason, then I will tell you." ”
