Chapter 0274: Plague Canyon
The age gap made it difficult for the once most powerful warrior of the Gluck clan, and his son inherited his excellent genes, and the rapid axe made him unable to parry, and he was quickly defeated.
Quinn stood in front of his father and raised his great axe. "According to orc tradition, the defeated are not eligible to live. The great axe fell, blood splattered, and the head was picked up. This is what happens to the betrayer. ”
The orcs who resisted saw this, Quinn cut off his father's head with his own hands, his eyes were as red as demons, the sky of the Gluck clan was dark, and a rainstorm was approaching.
Tossing his head aside, Quinn roared at those who resisted. "Quinn will lead you to rebuild the battle glory of the Gluck Clan. ”
A monitor lizard was prepared for riding outside the gates of the Black Iron City, and Aruvik rode his mount to say goodbye to those who had escorted him away. "I will come back and bring lasting peace. ”
The torrential rain crashed against the earth, making a dull noise, and the monitor lizard moved away from the Black Iron City, a city that had once been peaceful and quiet, in the darkness.
Quinn quickly took control of the situation with the same militants as him, and the violence left the peace-loving orcs with no room for resistance, and the horn of war sounded in the Black Iron City, and the young orcs were about to enter the battlefield.
"Well done, take credit for you. 'Olivier Giroud was pleased with Quinn's performance. "I knew that a warrior like you could be trusted, and that you would usher in a new era for the Gluck Clan. ”
"The warriors of the Gluck Orcs are ready to go into battle, and soon we will be ready to go. Quinn briefed Giroud on the current situation.
"I will wait for your news of triumph. Giroud made a promise to Quinn. "When the time comes, you can become the real new leader of the Gluck Clan. ”
The heavy rain turned the ground muddy, and the orc army of Eiront set out in the mud in the night, while Quinn's father's head was hung on the head of Estead, and he was washed by the night and heavy rain.
Heading south, the way to Plague Canyon requires passing through Tempest Canyon, Rudol Forest, and Black Mud, as well as several Gluck orc-guarded fortresses.
One of the orcs had already left the team and taken the blessing belt from Downing, and the orc needed to go to various places to summon those scattered ogres, and then go to the port of Blackwater Bay to join the army of the Blood Clan.
Cybertron keeps telling Serena, who is in Taylor's arms, about some of the past and happy things, hoping to awaken her memories.
Taylor looked at the walls that appeared at the mouth of the canyon ahead, a fortress made of boulders and the first orc fortress to encounter on the way to Plague Canyon.
"How do we get through?" As the captain of the guard of this elite squad, Dussel asked their human leader for instructions, and it was a bit difficult for them to use their brains.
"Don't be nervous, relax, you're part of the Gluck Orcs now, just take us prisoners this time. Downing calmed the nervous Dussel.
The team approached the fortress, and a dragon eagle flew into the fortress in the sky, and it seemed that new news had been passed to the fortress, which should be just an ordinary defense briefing, Tang Ning thought.
At the bottom of the fortress, the Gluck orc warriors in the fortress stopped Tangning and the party, and the guards looked at the human figures in the group with unfriendly eyes. "What's going on with them?"
"Captives, we are from the Ivil tribe of the Aveil Forest, these humans are trying to capture our kind, and now we have to send them to Dragon's Maw Fortress. Dussel replied calmly.
Dragon's Throat Fortress was the next fortress to pass through, and Downing informed Dussel. The two guards whispered for a while, and the guards who questioned looked a little suspicious. "Some of the Evel tribe are in the fortress right now, and we'll have to ask them. ”
The orcs of the Evel tribe are not all old and young women, just because the young people were sent here, this information Tang Ning did not know, the situation was a little out of control, once the young people of the Evel tribe were called out, their identities may be exposed, and they must think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.
But it seemed too late, and several young orcs came out of the entrance of the fortress and stood in front of Tangning and the others, looking at Dussel and his fellow orcs of the Blood Clan.
The guards asked the young men for information about Dussel and the others, and Downing wanted to remind Dussel to get ready for battle, but a young orc walked up and patted Dussel's monitor lizard. "Hey, buddy, why are you here? with these humans. ”
Dussel spread his hands. "We have captured some humans, and we intend to send them to Dragon's Maw Fortress at the request of the old chieftain and hand them over to the chief there to dispose of. ”
Downing couldn't understand why the young orc did this, he couldn't have known his companions from the Evel tribe, there weren't many orcs there, and almost everyone could know each other.
The young orc turned back to the guard and explained, and Tangning could hear it, and the young orc explained to the guard that he knew everyone and that these orcs were indeed from the Evel tribe.
The young man finally walked up to Dussel. "Come with me and I'll take you through the fortress. He turned and walked ahead, with Dussel following with the rest of the group.
The fortress was well guarded, there were at least five hundred orc handles, once the battle began, the consequences were unpredictable, when passing through the fortress, outside the exit of the fortress, the young orc whispered: "You have to leave quickly, something happened here, just ...... just now"
Dussel looked at the young man, his mind also full of doubts. "Why do you want to help us?"
The young orc smiled shyly. "Although you have changed the color of your complexion, I know you, you are an orc of the Blood Clan, you have saved me and my family and my people, the Gluck orcs can distinguish between good and evil, good and bad, no matter what, I have to repay the favor. ”
Blackwater Bay's actions had allowed them to pass through this danger, and now Tang Ning was more curious about what the young orc was talking about, it must have something to do with the dragon eagle that flew into the fortress just now, he stepped forward to ask. "Young man, what's going on here?"
The young orc was rather unkind to humans, his eyes full of anger, and Dussel stood in front of Downing. "Tell me what's going on here. ”
"There has been a upheaval in Black Iron City, the High Chief Aluvik has been driven out, and the new Chief Quinn has taken office, he has decided to attack you, and now all the fortresses are strengthening their defenses, as are the commanders who are loyal to Aruvik and refuse to serve the new leader. The young orc introduced to Dussel. "Aruvik is a good man, I don't know why that's the case. ”
The change in the orc leader doesn't sound like a good thing, and the new leader should be more belligerent according to the young orc's description, and it is necessary to hurry up and find the linguist as soon as possible to find new reinforcements.
Before leaving, the young orc said to Dussel. "Now that we're even, I'm not going to show mercy on the battlefield when the time comes. ”
The Dragon's Throat Fortress is not very far from this fortress, and after half a day, the Dragon's Throat Fortress was successfully passed, and there was a new understanding of the changes in the Gluck clan, some orc commanders who refused to swear allegiance to the new leader were killed, their heads were hung on the walls of the fortress, and the new fortress commander even asked Dussel and others to swear allegiance to the new leader.
The battle looks like it's going to start early, and hopefully Rondo will be able to withstand the onslaught of the Gluck orc army before reinforcements arrive, otherwise some of the gains will be lost.
As Downing had guessed, the battle began two days later, and the vanguard of the Gluck Orc army launched an attack on the Orcs of the Blood Clan stationed near the harbor of Blackwater Bay.
The orcs of the Blood Clan resisted the attack of the vanguard of the Gluck Orc army, but when the real Gluck Orc army came, the Orcs of the Blood Clan would no longer be an opponent, so Rondo decided to take the initiative to attack and captured the first fortress on the Black Iron Continent as a defensive stronghold, waiting for the arrival of the Gluck Orc army.
The strength of the two sides is quite different, the blood clan is only 10,000 people, including old and young women, the main force of the Gluck orc army has a full 200,000, and it has an innate advantage in terms of weapons, with the new leader Quinn as the commander, it is quite difficult to hold it with the help of a dilapidated fortress, and Rondo is even ready to die.
"If I had known that this trip would be so boring, I would definitely stay at Blackwater Bay with Selena. Taylor covered Selena's mouth and nose and rode on the monitor lizard to complain, the devastation and desolation of the Black Iron Continent contrasted sharply with the prosperity of the Eternal Continent, and there were indeed a lot less interesting things here than the Eternal Continent.
The team had been on the road for a full five days, a long journey and a lot of suffering, and no one liked such a journey, but luckily the journey had reached its final destination, Plague Canyon.
The heat evaporated the moisture from the ground, the dry earth seemed to moan in pain, and there were quite a few mosquitoes buzzing in the air, accompanied by a few people, as if waiting for someone in the team to die, and then they could have a good meal.
Cybertron had a few large bags of mosquito bites on his face, but he didn't care, and he was in a pretty good mood, because Selena's rejection of him had eased somewhat, and he was able to ride next to the girl without having to follow him far away.
It was still not easy to find the linguist in the Plague Canyon, the letter had been written to Kansas a few years earlier, and it was not known if he was still here, and the area was so vast that it was a place full of death.
Occasionally, the corpses of some dead animals could be seen on the ground, and the orcs were more adaptable to the environment than humans, but Dussel was already in a rather bad state, his dry lips slowly floating, and he made a weak sound. "It's quite difficult to find a target in a place like this, and maybe the humans you said are already dead here. ”
