"We shouldn't have done that. Hilbert shivered as he looked at the bones. "Maybe he's going to eat us for a meal, and it's not wise to deal with these guys. ”

"These creatures are more committed than humans. Taylor shrugged, after experiencing contact with people and these beasts, she had a more likable opinion of them, at least not as vile as humans.

Soon after, a large space appeared, ruined and broken, but it was vaguely clear that this was once a huge city, similar to the underground kingdom of poisonous scorpions, with a similar interior style, and these giant pythons once had the same civilization, and the sight in front of him made Hilbert exclaim. "My research went wrong, it turned out that they also had a civilization. "Write down the situation here with animal skins and pens.

In the deepest part of the space, a narrow hole glittered, and the girl and the old man on their backs were lowered, and the python leader carried a huge gem to the two of them with his mouth. "Nice stones, we had a lot of them. ”

Receiving the gem, the brilliant light was refreshing, and the number of gems was no less than that of scarabs and poisonous scorpions, enough for Downing to throw the gem on the ground. "It was a pleasure to work with. ”

The python did not respond to the girl, turned around and circled around a place that resembled a throne, and lifted a worn-out crown from the throne with its head, the crown rusty. "I don't need a bigger territory, no one can restrict our movements, I have other conditions. ”

Monty Python doesn't need a bigger territory, what are the new conditions, Taylor looked at the rusty crown. "I can say yes to any conditions. In order to get these gems, she had to say yes to any conditions.

"The Celebratory Crown. The python's eyes turned cold, and the rusty crown on its head was thrown to the ground with a crisp sound, and the crown was shattered, and the residue was scattered everywhere.

"What's that?" Taylor had never heard of.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you. The python perched on the ruined throne and spoke slowly. "We used to cooperate with the scorpion Oguta to expand together, but with the defeat of the war, our cooperation ended, but the real target of those dastardly scorpion legions is us, they took advantage of our breeding season, they attacked our homeland, destroyed our civilization, and took away the symbol of the underground kingdom Sacrificial Crown, I hate those dastardly scorpions. ”

The venomous scorpion had worked with these pythons, and it was the first time he had heard of it, and Taylor was surprised. "You mean I'll have to go to the Scorpion's Underground Kingdom to find the Ritual Crown for you. ”

"That's right, if you can't meet my conditions, then our cooperation can't continue. The python put the gem that had fallen on the ground back into the hole where the valuables were stored.

Taylor has a new understanding of the matter, and the Monty Python is willing to make a deal with the paladins, the real purpose is to unite with the new Zerg, defeat the scorpion legion, and take back the Ritual Crown, otherwise they will never allow other species to multiply on their territory.

"The Scarab Legion does not exist, and the condition I promised your companion is that I want to unite with them, and the enemy of our enemies is our friends. Taylor's suspicions were confirmed by the python's words, and the other party knew from the beginning that the paladin was deceiving it, and the python leader was smarter than he thought.

"No problem, the Scorpion Legion is also our enemy. Taylor held out his hand. "But I had to get half of the gems and valuables first, because we needed them so much. ”

Negotiations with the python went well, and after reaching an agreement, he returned to the scarab's new lair, and Taylor had to get out of here as soon as possible and rush back to Downing.

Aluvik encountered a new problem, the wave of the orc's counterattack turned from smooth at the beginning to scorching, acquired the same powerful ranged weapons, reclaimed a large area of land, but now suddenly it is at a stalemate, what is the reason for this situation?

"Those intensified human offensives. Costa thinks so.

"Humanity has stepped up its offensive, but not enough to halt our counteroffensive. Aruvik rejected what Casta thought was the reason, picked up a new musket, designed for orcs, opened the construction parts of the musket, and then opened the same musket that had been used and placed it on the table. "Look what's the difference. ”

Costa looked at the two muskets and didn't find any problems, and there was no difference between Costa and ordinary orcs in understanding the construction of muskets, and he didn't understand them at all.

Aruvik pointed to the subtleties of the two muskets. "Look, here's the problem, they're all built the same, but the level of polish is different. ”

Costa still didn't understand. "So what, a great-axe that isn't polished well enough can kill people just as well. ”

Putting away the two muskets, Aruvik also used the same shots, only one of which was able to fire, and the other was not functional.

"We can't make sophisticated weapons like humans, the reason is wisdom, unlike giant axes, the internal structure of muskets needs to be refined, the pursuit of perfection, in order to be able to fire, human wisdom has passed the test and tempering of time, on this road they have paid the price, we also have to take this road, although this road is full of thorns, but if we want to be as highly civilized as humans, we must step on thorns, even if there are many people on this road who need to sacrifice, it is unavoidable. Aruvik stroked his musket and said in frustration, "Our allies don't seem to want us to win this war too quickly. ”

Costa understood the second half of the sentence and slammed his huge fist on the table. "You mean that the damn young man did his tricks in the process of crafting weapons. ”

Someone happened to walk in, it was Downing, and he couldn't wait for news from Taylor, so he had to make a trip himself, so he came here to quit.

Costa angrily walked up and grabbed the young man by the collar. "Despicable fellow, you have to pay for the lives of those dead orc warriors. ”

Tang Ning didn't understand what was going on, and when he saw the two muskets on the table, he immediately understood that Aruvik had discovered the secret, and the wisdom of other orcs was not enough to crack the reason, but the wisdom of this orc leader was higher than that of ordinary humans, and it was really a headache for him to disassemble the muskets.

"Let him go. Aruvik looked at his adopted son and gave the order.

"He is to blame for the stalemate in the war, and we have to give an account to the dead warriors. Costa gripped the young man's collar tightly, not letting go.

A bright flash of light flew out of Aruvik's palm and struck the orc's back, which was clutching the young man's collar, and Costa fell to his knees with a limp.

Walking up and carrying the son by the collar, Aruvik was furious. "Get out of here, and if you resist my orders, I'll punish you, even if you have a better relationship with me than ordinary people. ”

Costa saw firmness in the father's eyes, he didn't joke, glanced at the young man, and he left the council chamber.

Looking at the back of Yoshiko who had left in disappointment, Aruvik turned back and apologized to the young man. "I am ashamed and sorry for his behavior. ”

"You found the secret, he did the right thing, you don't need to feel guilty" Tang Ning didn't feel guilty at all, not like he was apologizing for his actions, and walked over to the table and picked up two muskets. "I'd do the same if I were me, but I wouldn't feel guilty for my actions. ”

Heading to Dawn Harbor, he instructed Billy and Hemingway to make some moves in those new muskets, which were not polished well enough to jam, so that the orcs could not continue to be invincible in the counterattack, and the war was scorched.

"Please follow me"

Aruvik left the council chamber with the young man and headed to the high point of the Iron City, where he could see all that the Orcs had to offer.

Tang Ning didn't understand the reason for coming here, looking at the entire Black Iron City, full of life and vitality, orc women and children working hard.

"The cost of growing up is always quite significant, and I think human beings have been through this period as well. Aluvik looked at the busy people and said slowly: "As the leader of the orcs, it is always unforgiving to see my people die, I am a sinner of the orcs. ”

"No one among the orcs is wiser than you, not even Uncle Anduin. "Downing has to admit it.

Aruvik laughed miserably. "But I can't do as little harm as I can to my people, just like now, knowing that your actions have cost us the initiative in the war, but not like Costa, I am a cowardly leader. ”

Downing fell silent, casting the emotional card on him, and it made his heart shake a little, the orc leader had a very special contagion that was irresistible, like Taylor's power to make the bad guys change.

"I don't want the war to end as soon as possible, and I'm going to let them continue to produce sophisticated weapons, but you need to reduce your combat strength to hold back those human mercenaries and consume them. Downing thought for a long time and then relented. "This is the only way to achieve my goal, and of course, I guarantee that you will win the war in the end. ”

When Xiang was about to leave Blackiron City, the surprise news came that Taylor had returned and informed Downing of what had happened to the hive.

The hive has mutated, it is Giroud's means, although he has taken precautions when he left the hive, but in the end it has not changed the situation, and now the scorpion army has also rebelled, and the orc's gems have been almost consumed, if he can't continue to transport a large number of gems, he will not be able to achieve his goal, and the situation makes him feel a headache.

Taylor saw his sweetheart's anxiety, and thought to himself, "Look, you have limited energy alone, if these things happen, you can't solve them, I'm your best helper." She exclaimed, "You wouldn't expect that I have found new allies, and they will also provide us with a lot of gems." ”

"Are those giant pythons?" Tang Ning had already thought of this way out, the rebellion of the scarab beetle and the poisonous scorpion made him unable to ignore the race on the Black Iron Continent, so he could only ask them for help.

Compared to the poisonous scorpion and the scarab beetle, the civilization of the giant python was destroyed by the poisonous scorpion, and their strength has been disintegrated, at first he did not take this power into consideration, but now he has to think about it, it is better than being helpless.
