Chapter 31: The Story of the Sword, with Blood as Ink (123 Congratulations for Yipin Jiangshan)
The world of the Silver Moon was in decline, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and blood-colored thunder flickered horizontally. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The land that has been torn apart for millions of miles can no longer grow a single grain anymore, and the dense jungles, clear rivers, and countless animals of the past have all disappeared.
In this world, all that's left is despair and death!
"I am Durotan Wolf, I am the chief of the Wolf Tribe, and it is my duty to lead my people to life. The two-meter-tall and strong green-skinned orc carrying the wolf-toothed beast bone hammer led the people behind him into the valley, because the way to live was there.
The moon in the dark clouds of the sky is incredibly large, nearly a hundred times the size of a normal world full moon.
It seemed as if the familiar planet could be smashed down at any time and anywhere, but because of this, the magic of the legendary spellcaster Elven Queen Ashlina was strengthened to an almost incredible extent.
The current Silver Moon World is full of surging demon tides, making the strong stronger, making it easier for the weak to break through and become strong than in the past, this is the last return to the light of a huge world that is about to be destroyed.
A beautiful female elf with pointed ears, she raised her hands to condense the silver-white moonlight, and with the spell, she finally threw all her strength into the stone bone giant gate carved out of the stone wall of the valley, and manipulated the magic power with a strong will to merge into a silver-white vortex and appear out of thin air.
This is the door to the plane of Zenda, the path to survival.
"For the Horde!"
"For the Horde!"
"Roar..."
"The strongest warriors go first, stay in formation. ”
"For the Horde!!"
Goblins, centaurs, axemen, orc fighters...... None of these low-level troops are eligible to step into the plane gate, because the elven queen's legendary magic power is also limited, and the lowest orc warrior who is qualified to pass through the plane gate is also a level 5 orc slayer.
The strong and fierce orc warriors embrace the old war shamans, and the orc slayer is responsible for the killing, and the orc shaman will sacrifice the creatures slaughtered in another world, in that world to support the opened plane door and relieve Ashlina's pressure.
The sturdy bipedal wyvern carried the siege ballista and waved its wings to rush into the gate of the plane, and a group of minotaur forbidden troops carrying plate axes also stepped into it in a phalanx, they were already the relative limit of what they could carry. The stupid and fat Cyclops in the valley, even the war Beamon, who can level the battlefield and rival the strength of the dragon, will have to endure for the time being, waiting for the shamans of the other world to sacrifice enough flesh and soul to further expand the door of the plane.
In fact, at this time, if the Chanda World can pour the power of the continent to kill all the orc legions that were put into the past in the early stage and re-seal the door of the plane, the invaders of the Silver Moon World will basically be trapped and killed in the world plane where they are gradually declining and destroying.
In practice, however, this perfect response is not possible, because any system needs a reaction time.
The Elven Queen Ashlina cleverly opened the door of the plane in the border desert of the Salander Sultan, who has been excluded from the Galadia civilization system for a long time as a desert kingdom...... Until those stupid aristocrats can no longer laugh.
"Six days...... Are we wrong to do that? They have no responsibility for the demise of our world. After casting the spell, the elven queen, who was almost soaked in sweat and robes, fell weakly into the arms of the tall and strong orc behind her.
Orc Tempest Swordmaster: Gult Sixth Heavenly Demon/Half-Blood Warman, is the chief of the Storm Marauders, the strongest tribe of the Orcs, and the most powerful king of the Orc Clan in the Silvermoon World.
"The wind blows like a sword with me...... Death is like the wind, clinging to my palms. ”
In the tragic war of the Silver Moon Plane Hundred Races for living space, he led his tribe to slaughter and exterminate the human race, but he opened his eyes to the beautiful Silver Moon Elf Clan, and there were countless orcs who said that the powerful Sixth Heavenly Demon was the magic of the elves, and after being unceremoniously slaughtered by Gurt for several rounds, no one dared to say a word of nonsense.
Orcs are very pure, the strong are kings, and it is the truth that the orcs will never be easier.
And now the Silver Moon Elves use the magic power of the orc race's serious disadvantage to open the door of the plane, bringing a new living space to the two races, which seems to prove the wisdom and foresight of the king......
"Orcs use war to mediate differences and resolve conflicts, Ashlina ...... I will definitely lay a great land for your elves, don't you like beautiful natural forests the most? I will knock down the whole Rhodok and give it to you, the elves are a beautiful race, you should have happiness and peace. Despite his green skin and bloody fangs, this orc swordmaster is a veritable combination of beast and beauty in contrast to the peerless beauty of the elven queen Ashlina in his arms, but when Gurt said this, his demeanor was gentle and sincere.
I will give you a wedding gift under the next country, and I only wish you a happy smile.
Because of the man's aggressive gaze, Ashlina bowed her head gently, like a water lotus flower that could not overcome the shyness of the cold wind, and the beauty of that moment made the strong heart of the orc king beat violently, and Gurt, who had been accompanied by a sword since childhood, almost forgot the last time he was so excited.
Was it the moment when you held the hilt of the sword for the first time?
Or is it the first killing, when you see blood sprayed in the wind?
Gult Sixth Heavenly Demon was drunk, as an ascetic swordsman, he never drank a drop of wine in his life, especially in recent years, the clan did not even have enough food to eat, how could he have the spare strength to make wine, but Ashlina was his wine, and the beauty in his arms almost made him forget all the sufferings he had had.
"Ah......h
At the timidity of the elf's exclamation, the tall and strong orc suddenly picked up the queen by the waist and strode towards his royal tent.
"A lot of times, I'm really curious if Gurt's sword is still as powerful as it used to be. Wouldn't those debauched bitches have drained our king?" beneath the mountain guarded by a large number of elves, among the beasts of the valley, two strong pigmen peered greedily at the beautiful elves.
One is a Pig Shaman, the other is a Pig Warrior, as the chief, the Pig Warrior has a slanted moon-like sword mark on his cheek, this is the glory of the warrior, to be able to challenge Gurt's Wind Resisting Sword Technique and survive, such a powerful warrior The entire orc tribe can count on one hand.
Pig people are generally not strong among orcs, but as long as the number can be piled up, it is normal for some of them to appear elite or even mutants.
The Blood River Porco Rosso is a powerful presence in the vast base, and the chief of the Porco Rosso snorts and looks greedily at the beautiful elves on the mountain peak.
This group is the best meat for the desolate and violent Blood River Pig people, but under the threat of Gurt's terrifying strength and prestige, even as the powerful Bloodriver Porco Pig Chieftain, Hum Bloodfang, it does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool and attack any elf.
In recent years, as the orcs and elves have gradually merged under the pressure of survival from the destruction of the world, some elves have changed their nature under the constant threat of death, and some have begun to accept and like the brutal and strong painting style of orcs, while most orcs have gradually accepted the fact that they have a bad brain and it is best to have elves behind them...... However, in the forcible fusion of the painting styles of the two races, the eight poles of the Pige clan can't match the objects that the elves like, whether it is appearance, strength or temperament.
"Lord Charlotte, that disgusting red-skinned pig is spying on you down there again, please allow me to kill him tonight, I can't stand the defilement of his gaze at you. ”
On the hillside there are several knights on white horses, including the three spy wizards of the Foresight Department.
Charlotte Rhein Ifrit is the cavalry captain of this group of elves, and in this world she has long silver hair like Ewen, but the whole person is still heroic and gorgeous, like a peerless sword inlaid with precious stones, luxurious and intimidating.
Among the two horses behind her, a man and a woman, one of the handsome male elves could not stand the obscene and disgusting gaze of the red-skinned Pigs under the mountain, and said angrily, in his heart, Charlotte's status was as noble and honorable as a goddess and could not be blasphemed.
"Keep patrolling...... Will you be sure to handle Gurt's Bard's sword, or will you have the ability to control the entire orc legion? ”
“...... Yes, Charlotte. Despite his reluctance, the male elf dressed as an assassin bowed his head in agreement, but in his heart he already hated the disgusting indigenous life of this low-level world.
...... The story of the sword is made of blood, and the world is declining, and we have no way out but to live, and to live, what is wrong?......
At the same time, in the northern part of the continent, on the border between the Snow Country of Virginia and the Kingdom of Nord.
At the entrance and exit of the Castle Ambush Valley, William and Rhodes rode side by side exchanging some political opinions.
"Hmm...... Indeed, what you say makes sense. ”
Viscount William was born at the bottom of the kingdom, although he was experienced and strong in military strategy, but he still lacked a little sensitivity in politics, Zhu Peng saw many future possibilities of this continent through the trajectory of fate when he traveled down from the sky.
Recalling these possibilities, combined with a lot of knowledge he knew in the era of the information explosion in the 21st century, Zhu Peng was able to say a lot of accurate analysis of current politics.
Otherwise, this guy's political sensitivity is not much higher than that of Viscount William, and it is not like other spy wizards, whose life experience of hundreds or thousands of years at every turn makes them almost non-existent in all aspects.
"Also...... We would do well to sell the village of Loire, which is subordinate to the Château de El Bucque, to Viscount Javier of Fort Bruga. "There are two villages under the Château d'Elbuc, one in Jayek and the other in Loire.
Usually a castle is also a subordinate village, and some castles do not even have subordinate villages, relying solely on the taxes of past merchants, the Nord Elbuk clan has one castle and two villages, which shows its prosperity.
But the embarrassing thing is that Loire is extremely close to Fort Bruga, the Kingdom of Virginia, and although the Elbuc clan is powerful, they have few top elites in their hands, so it has to be said that it has something to do with the long-term bloodletting that often protects Loire. Normally, fortunately, with the real advent of the terrifying and chaotic times, Zhu Peng does not feel that with the current strength of the Castel family, he can protect Loire, who is far away from the castle, and if he doesn't let go decisively, he may also fall into the dilemma of being bled for a long time.
"Father, the village of the Loire is very close to Fort Bruga, and although it now belongs to Virgian in terms of power, Viscount Javier can no longer burn and loot, but I am afraid that there will be no shortage of other troubles...... You have taken Fort Albson, the Nord Kingdom will not let it go easily, and our biggest need now is to get enough funds to expand our military and strengthen our defenses.
Selling the village of Loire to Viscount Havel can befriend Magali who fought against the Wacheze, and even if he can't really pull Javier over, he can plant a stinger in Magali's heart. Zhu Peng knew that spitting out the fat that had reached his mouth was a very difficult decision for Viscount William.
The feudal lord is like the old landlord in the feudal era of China, accumulating his land inch by inch, and cutting down any piece of it is like killing him.
Having the Loire village rent in his hand is a steady stream of living money, and selling the Loire village, even if it can be sold for a large sum of money, it is still a dead money, which is the common concept of the vast majority of lords of Carradia...... The thinking pattern of a typical old feudal peasant.
After trying his best to persuade a few words, at this time, a subordinate came over to give a heavy pure steel battle axe, but it was the Jinling heavy battle axe with a pure steel body used by the captured lord of Riwache Margali, Zhu Peng changed his hand and handed this weapon to William Custer beside him.
"I already have in my hand a Nahir sword that is no less powerful than it, so please use this two-handed heavy battle axe...... The more valuable something is, the more it must show its inherent value at the right time, otherwise it will be meaningless. The hidden meaning of Zhu Peng's sentence is that the village of Loire, which is extremely valuable in the eyes of Viscount William, should now show its dual intrinsic value in economic and political terms, otherwise it will be just chicken ribs and lose its due significance.
"Well, let me think about it again. ”
Reaching out to take the Jinling heavy battle axe, William looked at Rod deeply and patted him on the shoulder, but it was the trust and recognition that Rod Custer had never withdrew.
After this short exchange that did not last long, the two of them returned to Albuk and Jerber Castle respectively, both castles are in an extremely empty state at this moment, and they can probably be captured by any two teams of pirates, and the later the lord returns, the higher the danger factor of the castle will be compared to the same period last year.
On the way back, Zhu Peng rode on horseback and looked at the gradually thick white mist around him, and couldn't help but sigh softly, both tired and satisfied...... The battle for the hegemony of the different planes that has swept the entire continent of Calradia is about to begin in full swing.
And now I can only barely get off to a good start.
...... Time flies, time flies......
Two months after Custer ambushed the Valley, a thick fog of war spread across the continent of Calradia, and all sorts of legendary creatures of yesteryear appeared in the realm of the nobles, preying on peasants and raiding merchants...... Storm villages, castles, and even cities.
According to reliable sources, an adult red dragon has attacked Parabun, the capital of Swadia, the continent's most powerful country.
It entrenched itself on the castle of King Harlaus, and directly burned a hundred knights with flames, and finally broke his teeth and swallowed blood, and Ha Laosi, who could only follow the advice of his wise men to open the treasure house and let the red dragon loot at will, and after he had eaten and drunk enough, he finally succeeded in sending it away at the cost of a large amount of wealth.
What can mortals do when they don't do this when they face legendary lives?
In the extremely powerful wizarding world, legends are legends, legends that are not wizarding professions are not very popular, the so-called dragons are more pets and experiments, but in fact, in the heavens, such a wanton state of the red dragon is a portrayal of the real situation.
Adult pure-blooded dragons are all strong third-order legends, even if Ha Lao Si drinks out and fights to the end, the top knights of Swadia are only five levels, and each fifth-level Swadia knight is about equal to the first order, even if Ha Lao Si does his best to fight with each other, the nobles of Swadia are also crazy with their own kings, and they are afraid that they can't be called adult red dragons who can fight well among the dragons.
The most troublesome thing about dragons is not their strong hand-to-hand combat ability, not their terrifying magical talents, but the most difficult thing about them: wings, they can all fly!
Dragons are naturally active in the sky, and their flying talent is extremely rebellious, just young dragons can use magic to assist in floating flight, and for adult dragons, flying is as easy and natural as breathing. The most accustomed method of the dragons against the enemy is to suddenly fall from the clouds, spray dragon breath and magic strikes when the opponent does not react in time, and then suddenly rise into the air before the counterattack comes.
In fact, there are not many targets that can survive the dragon's breath and magic strikes, and most of the time they don't need to take off again, and they can just land down and enjoy a good meal.
Although this tactic sounds shameless, it is actually extremely difficult to deal with, if you want to slay the dragon, please find a way to make the dragon fall to the ground first.
Therefore, even Svadia, the strongest kingdom in the Calradia continent, can't fight an adult red dragon if they want to fight, unless they can devote their strength to the country, and the probability of blocking an adult red dragon in their lair is extremely low, even if they succeed in blocking it, the loss caused by the mortal forcibly slaying the dragon is definitely enough to break the eggs of all the nobles in Svadia.
The strong third-order, legendary life, is enough to dominate the world in the low-level plane.
Of course, such an "unlucky" thing as being stormed by a third-order adult red dragon has only happened in the entire continent, and the second unlucky is a lord of the Rhodok Kingdom, who encountered a swamp nine-headed dragon in the deep mountains and old forests, and the troops he brought with him were almost completely wiped out, and then the nobleman himself went crazy...... It is said that he was originally a young man with a strong future.
This helplessness also occurred in Zhu Peng's sphere of influence in the castle of Jerbo Fort, where the village of Mazan under the castle was attacked by a group of eagle-headed monsters the size of lions with wings on their backs.
They don't attack people, but they can't stand the frenzied preying on cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and even the Cerberus that has become the iconic guard of Jerboburg.
However, since taking over the castle of Djerpo, the lord, who has always been resolute and resolute, has strangely confessed this time, not only did he not send troops to encircle and suppress those monsters, but also specially sent a large number of people to send meat to the lair where the monsters were found.
Although this did reduce the behavior of those monsters hunting on their own, it puzzled the lords and the warriors under their command, and it was not until the bounty for recruiting a high-priced beast tamer was posted that someone gradually understood what their lord wanted to do, but where is it so easy to find a beast tamer who is smart enough to tame a griffin.
Even if the lord of Djerpoburg, who received Magali's high ransom, was extremely generous, this kind of thing was simply looking for someone to play with his life, and it would be difficult to achieve after all.
At least, to this day, no one has succeeded in taming even a single griffin after taking the bounty.
"If you want me to say, Viscount Caster is still too young after all, and if Cerberus can be tamed, can the griffin be tamed as well? "In the tavern, against the backdrop of noisy chaos, the traveling merchants and drinkers talked nonsense after a few glasses of water and wine, but in the continent of Calradia, there was no such thing as being convicted for words, so everyone didn't pay much attention to what they said.
"In the past two months, I have watched the castle of Djerbo become more and more prosperous, but the business of our merchants is getting worse and worse, the white fog is shrouded, and when the palm of the hand is stretched out at the thickest, there are more and more strange beasts that come out of nowhere in the wild, and even in the city there are terrifying legends of ghosts walking in the night...... Lord Viscount Karst of Castle Djerber personally led the cavalry and Cerberus patrols, which was the only reason why I dared to continue selling iron along the line of Kurau. "In the space of two months, a lot of things happened, Zhu Peng not only sold the Count of Magaly for a good price, but also Viscount William sold the village of the Loire for a good price.
Because of these two large sums of money, Castle Djerber and Castle Elbuk had enough financial resources to expand their military strength frantically, and at the same time, the Snow King Durivardin also sent a final verdict on the matter:
Almost identical to the rewards mentioned in essentia, the Castel family title was raised by one level, Viscount William became an earl, and Rod Custer became a viscount beyond the baronial title, and had the honorary title of "Demon Slayer", which is equivalent to the Kingdom of Vegia agreeing with the justice of the Caster's two counterattacks and the actual occupation of Elbuck Castle.
This naturally brought diplomatic turmoil, but at this moment, the fog of war is permeating the continent, and every lord is basically busy cleaning up the demonic beasts in his territory, and the Nord Kingdom has no time to find trouble for the time being, but they also reserve the right to recover Elbuc Castle by force at any time...... This is actually a very meaningless authority, Elbuk and Derber Fort are both on the northern border between the two countries, as long as the two countries are at war together, these two castles will bear the brunt of it anyway.
The ransom of Count Magali was as high as 50,000 dinars and many copies of the high-level architectural drawings inside the castle, and with the money, Zhu Peng could recruit as many troops as possible and expand his military strength.
With advanced architectural drawings, the first thing Zhu Peng did was to choose to upgrade the tavern building, normally it should be given priority to upgrading the barracks, market or blacksmith shop, upgrading the barracks can train more advanced soldiers more quickly, upgrading the market can increase the prosperity of the entire Jerbo Fort, if Jerbo Fort is prosperous enough, even other buildings in the city will be automatically promoted.
There is no need to upgrade a prison that is already a second-level prison itself, it is enough to hold a hundred people, especially since there are Cerberus jailers in Castle Jerber, even high-ranking captives with strong skills are difficult to escape with their own strength, which Count Magali can prove.
Upgrading the blacksmith can complete self-sufficiency in the corresponding level of armament supply, and the high-level blacksmith can even make high-level equipment such as ballistas.
However, Zhu Peng knew this, but he still chose to upgrade the tavern building first, and even sent his loyal engineer Artiman to oversee the work.
The reason is simple...... Cities with "Dark Head" have tavern level +2. A first-level tavern is equivalent to a third-level tavern, and a fifth-level tavern is equivalent to a seventh-level tavern that has never appeared on the mainland.
