Chapter 24: The Ritual of Seducing Monsters
There were many orcs who came to help in the war, and it wasn't just the Tall Tree tribe.
Although the orcs look a little like the beasts, the Warcraft don't show mercy to their men for this reason. For those demonic beasts that have absorbed a large amount of chaotic magic, not to mention orcs, even if they are of the same race, they can also be used as food when necessary.
For them, the orcs are not only not the object of attention and protection, but on the contrary, they are the closest and easiest food to hunt.
Before the establishment of Mulandana and the establishment of the crusade army system, the beast tide was the most feared thing by the orc tribe in the hundreds or even thousands of miles near the Wolf's Den Lake. It has no fixed rules, and it is overwhelming every time it has an attack, and manpower is not worth mentioning in front of it at all. Whether it is a brave warrior or a wise shaman, they are useless in the face of countless magical beasts, and can only be like dust and dust, like ashes, ushering in death and destruction.
At that time, when the orcs swore an oath, the most ruthless oath was "If I break the oath, I will let the beast tide swallow my tribe".
Time flies, under the unremitting eradication of the Mulandana Crusade Army for more than a hundred years, the beast tide in the Wolf's Den Lake has never happened again, but the orc tribe still sings the epic, chewing on the fear and hatred of the beast tide passed down from generation to generation by ancestors, seeping into the depths of the bone marrow.
Therefore, whenever the crusading army came to the Wolf's Den Lake, warriors and shamans from various orc tribes would rush to help the crusading army as best they could. For them, it was not for any covenant, but for the protection of their people.
Every time they kill a monster here, their people will be a little safer.
This is true of the tall tree tribe, and so are other tribes.
Over the next few days, Panda saw reinforcements from dozens of tribes, large and small, ranging from three to five to dozens, adding up to almost 500 people, and among them were either strong warriors or shamans with unique skills, not even a single non-combatant.
In contrast, the Murandana Raider, though well-organized and well-equipped, was at least outnumbered.
Of course, this upside and downside actually don't make much sense. After all, everyone is trying to exterminate the demonic beasts and avoid the occurrence of the beast tide, and it is really redundant to fight for the upper hand and the lower hand.
These orc reinforcements from far and wide were obviously experienced, and they set up tents in the camps set up by the crusaders in order to be protected by the camps.
And these days, of course, the crusaders are not idle. They skillfully strengthened the camp, erected a high and thick fence, dug a trench in front of it, and made barbs from cut wood at the bottom of the trench. From a distance, the fence towers like a wall, and in the trench below, the sharp barbs are like spears pointing to the sky, and the mere glance makes you feel frenzied and chilling.
On the inside of the fence, there is a slope made of mud. The Raiders can easily climb up the slope and use the top fence as a shield to stab their spears through the holes in it, or climb to the turret behind the fence and condescend to shoot deadly arrows at incoming beasts.
It can be seen that the entire camp is based on the premise that "Warcraft will do its best to take the initiative to attack". It's just that the pandas don't understand, what method do they have to use to make the monster desperately do its best to attack head-on?
This question was answered on the night of the full moon.
On that full moon night, the weather was not good, it was gloomy. However, the governor asked the magicians accompanying the army to join forces and cast an extremely large spell to disperse all the clouds in the sky, revealing a bright blue sky and bright moon and stars.
Under the bright moon, which looked like silver plates, several shamans lit a fire and threw bags of strange-tasting things into it, singing songs that no one could understand.
Along with their ritual, the panda clearly felt that the originally chaotic magic power in the vicinity had gradually returned to order, revealing a strange clear feeling.
It is said that clear magic should make people feel comfortable, but this kind of clarity is extremely dazzling and hateful to those magical beasts who are accustomed to chaotic magic. At least the panda had faintly heard the roar of the monster and was rapidly approaching.
The shamans looked at each other and nodded, and several warriors brought in a cage with a juvenile beast inside.
This monster is a wolf that looks small and cute. Panda thinks that if he dresses it up, he may be able to sell it in the pet market on Earth, and the price is probably not low.
But the orcs don't have the slightest affection or pity for this guy, for them, the monster, especially the demon wolf, is the most hated enemy. If it weren't for the fact that it would come in handy in today's ceremony, this little monster would have been dismantled by them a long time ago!
A warrior took the little devil wolf who was tied up like a rice dumpling out of the cage, put it on a shelf and roasted it alive.
The young demon wolf let out a miserable cry, which made the panda frown secretly and feel a little uncomfortable.
Jaime noticed his expression and whispered, "There's nothing to sympathize with, they're all man-eating beasts." ”
"I know, it's just...... This kind of killing method is really a bit ......"
"It's also part of the ritual. Having done a lot of homework, Jaime knew what was going on, and explained, "Hearing the screams of this little thing, the monsters will think that it is in danger and rush to it - but they are not here to save it, but to take advantage of the opportunity to eat it." ”
"This is the magical beast born of the magic of chaos, cruel and cold, without even the slightest hint of humanity. Jaime sighed and said, "If it weren't for the blood of my predecessors to prove this, I wouldn't have believed that there could be such a creature in the world!"
The panda also frowned secretly when he heard this, and he really didn't believe it in his heart.
It is the nature of all kinds of animals to love their young. This is especially common for more intelligent animals. Knowing that the cub was in danger, he didn't want to rescue it, but wanted to take the opportunity to eat it...... It's a bit beyond imagination.
But soon, he knew that he was really wrong.
When he saw the first batch of demon wolves roaring and arriving, from the eyes of these demon beasts, he only saw endless greed and desire, without the slightest hint of anger or impatience.
As Jaime said, these guys didn't even think to rescue the cubs, on the contrary, they came to eat the weak wolf.
The moment he saw their eyes, the panda deeply realized that these monsters and intelligent creatures like himself were natural mortal enemies.
Fire and water are incompatible!
