Chapter 197: The Dire Ogre

When Sun Licheng and Caroline returned to the Chiyan tribe, it was already the evening of the second day, and along the way, they had fought at least five waves of bandits, each of which was very dangerous.

Although these ogre robbers are obviously lacking in physical strength due to hunger, they can become more vicious.

At the beginning, Sun Licheng also wanted to move out of the identity of the Chiyan tribe to persuade these robbers to quit, but he didn't expect that these robbers not only did not appreciate it, but called out more companions.

Of course, these ogres are just some minor troubles in the end, and in the face of Sun Licheng, who has been strengthened, plus Caroline, the female ogre god of war, unless there is a large-scale conflict like the tribe, some miscellaneous soldiers can't threaten them at all.

When he arrived at the periphery of the Chiyan tribe, Sun Licheng was shocked.

This is still the Red Yan Tribe, and it has completely become a strong military fortress.

Before they could get close to the stockade, a large number of ogre guards wearing cuirasses and holding tomahawks came out. Seeing that it was Sun Licheng and Caroline, he let them go.

When they arrived at the camp of the Chiyan tribe, the original wooden fence had been replaced by a rammed earth city wall, and high watchtowers were being built at several corners of the city wall.

Passing through the antlers at the gate of the city, Sun Licheng finally entered the Chiyan tribe cottage, or it would be more appropriate to call it the Chiyan tribe town.

"My lord, it looks like there is going to be a war here. ”

Camel rider Wallis whispered to Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng nodded, his face became serious, and Caroline, who was beside her, also stopped playing with the kitten.

When he met his old father-in-law, Barrett, he was amazed to find that the ogre had gotten fatter.

"Father, we're back. ”

Caroline jumped up and down at her father, wrapping her arms around his neck and squeezing her pet.

"Okay, okay, just come back. ”

Barrett patted her daughter on the back dotingly.

"Father-in-law, the situation is very tense right now. I see that there are already signs of chaos in the Ogre region. ”

After saluting Barritt, Sun Licheng asked his own question.

Barrett patted her daughter and asked her to sit aside, then sighed.

"The situation is very tense now, and it is completely imminent. ”

Barrett's words shocked Sun Licheng's heart.

After Barrett's explanation, Sun Licheng understood what was going on.

Speaking of which, this matter still has a lot to do with Sun Licheng.

The current king of the Goblin Kingdom is called Clarence, and he seized the throne in a palace coup with the support of the goddess of spring water after the death of his brother.

Because it was a usurpation, his foundation within the kingdom was not stable, but he had the support of the gods, and he did not touch the interests of several major families, so he had nothing to do with it all these years.

But in the previous period, the Palm Family, the most powerful military family in the Goblin Kingdom, not only died two excellent men, but also lost the elite of the Eastern Legion as the foundation.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Her Majesty, the goddess of spring water, as the guardian of the Goblin Kingdom, has disappeared from people's sight!

No matter how much the priests prayed, the goddess did not respond.

Soon, rumors spread that Her Majesty, the goddess of spring water, had fallen.

Without the protection of the goddess, Clarence, who was already in the wrong position, suddenly fell into a panic. And from all over the kingdom, there is a lot of news that the current king is going to be deposed.

Although Clarence had killed his brother's family and only one little princess was missing, he was also afraid that his throne would be lost.

As a result, this guy got in touch with the sworn enemy Orc Empire. After a humiliating negotiation, he was protected by the god of hunting and orcs, and hugged his thicker thighs.

However, it all comes at a price. In addition to promoting a new faith within the Goblin Kingdom, he also had to offer a large amount of money and materials to the Orc Empire in exchange for the support of the Orc Empire.

Of course, His Majesty the Gods and the Orc Empire were still very powerful, and within a week, they sent the famous Shadow to assassinate all the pillars of several major families.

Then, led by the Goblin Royal Legion and reinforced by the Orc Empire, Clarence quickly swept away all opposition and took control of the nation's army.

Although Clarence quelled the opposition within the kingdom, he wanted to fulfill his promise to the orc empire, so he began to raise taxes wildly.

"Of course, if it's just to pay the kingdom's taxes, it's actually okay, after all, the materials given to the orc empire are actually very limited when they are evenly distributed to the entire kingdom. Unexpectedly, those tax collectors and big tribes had crooked thoughts, and they used the name of this tax increase to levy tyranny. Many small tribes have even been out of food for several days. ”

Barrett said helplessly.

Sun Licheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

In this extremely primitive mode of domination, this is not unusual. If the king collects one gold coin, then the officials in charge of taxation and the officials in charge of enforcement receive five gold coins, which is considered a great conscience of their conscience.

After all, raising taxes at various levels is the fastest way to get rich, and unless there is a strong supervision mechanism, even in modern times, it will be played by the bureaucracy.

"What about the Chiyan Tribe now?"

Sun Licheng asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, we've already dealt with the local governors. However, there are now too many displaced people out there, and from time to time they will attack our farms and feedlots. On one occasion, two dozen ogres rushed into the tribe, but they were beaten out thanks to the fine armor and weapons made by the blacksmiths. ”

Barrett said.

For Sun Licheng, the old ogre was very satisfied. Not only did he build a food base for his tribe, but he also made his tribe well-armed, and even had a general with extremely high military literacy like Clark.

It was under Clark's planning that the Chiyan tribe built walls and watchtowers, and the security situation improved a lot at once.

After chatting for a while, Sun Licheng said that he was going to go to the Moon Alliance.

Barrett thought for a moment, then agreed, and said to him, "It is your good fortune to be able to fulfill the mandate of a god. Take Clark and them with you when you go, the north is a bunch of barbarians, very dangerous, you must be careful. ”

After Sun Licheng heard it, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

When he finds Chebman the Rabbit and Clark the Minotaur, he finds that they are directing Da Zhuang to build a very tall watchtower.

"Boss, you're back. ”

Seeing Sun Licheng, Da Zhuang quickly counted the watchtowers and ran over. He hadn't eaten Sun Licheng's food for a few days, and when he thought of such delicious things, his saliva flowed.

After greeting everyone, Sun Licheng told Clark about his situation in the Amun world, and finally said: "You talk to the brothers, see who is willing to go to the Moon Alliance with me, let's get up as soon as possible." ”

Clark nodded, indicating that it was fine. But then, he said, "Boss, let's go and come back quickly." ”

Sun Licheng was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chebman, the rabbit-headed man next to him, spoke: "The current situation is very strange, I'm afraid that we are about to fight here." ”

After listening to Chebman's words, Sun Licheng's heart was shocked.
