Chapter 148: Under the predicament

The loud noise coming from the front of the city gate was indeed an explosion caused by the collision of two mana, but it was not two spiritual mana, but two mana.

These two rays of magic came from two gigantic orcs, just like the orcs of the Great Forest, with skin as rough as tree bark and hind legs as thick as tigers and black bears.

Mana is mostly used among orcs to enhance their own strength, and they worship close-range attacks, relying on fists and legs to win. This is completely different from the elves and those noble races.

Elves and noble races tend to convert mana into talismans, summoning some magical beasts to aid in battle. It's like a time-limited assistant.

And the real orcs don't bother to use auxiliary skills at all, they always combine powerful mana with their own flesh, this practice is somewhat similar to the Ah Inferior Tian clan, one is to add spiritual mana to the body, enhance the attack power of the body, and the other is to directly make their body full of power, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The two orcs outside the city completed the first round of impact at this moment, and different degrees of damage could be seen in their arms, upper bodies and shoulders, indicating that the strength of the two people was equal, and neither of them could have the upper hand.

They didn't care about the screams coming from the castle tower, and quickly launched a second round of mutual attacks, their muscular fists and thighs constantly attacking and defending each other, and the two of them were entangled together, inseparable.

Even the non-guna housekeeper was speechless by this scene, and Zimu Xiya and Uluna were even more worried about Zhang Ziqing.

Zimu Xiya didn't care about his identity anymore, and asked the chief butler in front of the city guards: "If it's not Lord Guna, where did the Grand Governor go?"

"I don't know!" The soldier said he was still there, and when I got up the tower, the man disappeared. ”

"Could it be that the Xianggong is trying to tell us something?

But the chief butler shook his head and denied the second lady's statement, "Impossible, it was the Governor who sent me a message to come here to meet him, and he said that he had something very important to ask me, how could he suddenly disappear?"

"What then? What if Xiang Gong meets these two orcs?"

Fei Guna is also very anxious in his heart now, and he can't answer Uluna's question at all, and now it's too late to go to the mansion to summon the flying cavalry guards, and the far water can't save the near fire, Fei Guna can only order the soldiers defending the city to quietly go out of the city, and look for Zhang Ziqing's traces while the orcs are in full swing.

The soldiers moved with their backs to the city walls, using the shadows under the walls to hide themselves, and then some of them burrowed into the grass to find Zhang Ziqing, while the other part stayed on the edge of the city wall to monitor the movements of the orcs.

But after a few trips, all the soldiers found nothing, and they didn't see any trace of Zhang Ziqing at all, the sky was already bright, and it was about to be close to the time when the people would leave the city, but the two orcs were still fighting outside the city gate.

The anxiety was beyond words, and it was impossible to hide it at all, and the seriousness of the situation was far beyond the imagination of the great butler Fei Guna.

Just when he had no master, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept Zhang Ziqing's dead war horse, the war horse was exhausted to death, but the housekeeper saw a strange wound on his body.

The wound was not deep, and at the junction of the horse's belly and hind legs, only a faint red trace could be seen from a distance.

Fei Guna narrowed his eyes and leaned out to take a closer look, because now even elves and demonic beasts could not get close to that war horse, he was within the battle range of the two orcs, and the strength of these two orcs was superior, at least above the third rank.

After carefully observing for more than a minute, Feiguna suddenly issued an order to the elven overseer, "Immediately withdraw all the soldiers who have gone out of the city to find the Grand Doge, and let them all return before the people gather under the city gates." ”

"Yes. In response, the elven overseer, who had no idea what was going on, hurried to convey the order, and the anxious look of the chief butler Fei Guna just now was actually swept away.

Don't say that Uruna doesn't understand, even Shiki Xiya is confused.

"Second Madame, please go back to the house to rest, I already have a way to solve it here, but it will endanger the safety of Madame, I will immediately send someone to escort you back." Figuna bowed to Uruna.

"But, what about Xiya?" Uruna looked at Shiki Xiya worriedly: "I am also an elf, and I can use spiritual mana to fight with you. ”

"No need, because this is the Grand Doge's order, and he doesn't want you to be harmed in any way. Lord Xiya's words will have to wait a little longer, and now that the soldiers are running low, we must send you back first. ”

“...... All right. Well, Xiya, you should be careful yourself. ”

Uluna let go of Zimu Xiya's hand, gave one last look with some reluctance, and then silently followed the soldiers arranged by the big butler to walk under the city gate.

After Uluna walked away, Zimu Xiya asked, "What did you see just now?"

"The code given to me by the Grand Doge is on the carcass of the warhorse, and you can see the location and appearance of the wound. Fei Guna pointed into the distance and let Zimu Xiya see for himself.

In an instant, Zimu Xiya was so stunned that she couldn't help it, and even her voice trembled: "He! how can he ?!! like this?"

"The Overseer decided this for you, and while I don't know who you are or where you come from, I am sure that you will cherish the Overseer's love as much as he protects you wholeheartedly. Fei Guna suddenly knelt down and said to Zimu Xiya.

"I will! Unless I die in this life, I will always remember everything the Governor did!" After speaking, Zimu Xiya walked towards the bottom of the city wall, he wanted to go back to the house and wait for Zhang Ziqing to return, although the final secret still could not be exposed, but Zimu Xiya decided that if the Cloud Dragon King wanted to kill Zhang Ziqing in the end, then he would definitely do his best to protect it, even if he lost his life.

——

What did the chief butler see? What did Zhang Ziqing do?

The chief steward saw a piece of beast scales embedded in the wound of the war horse, and a small piece of fragments on Zhang Ziqing's hand armor was stuck on the beast scales.

This means that Zhang Ziqing is one of the two orcs, although this statement seems very ridiculous on the surface, but what Zhang Ziqing wants to convey is indeed this meaning, a human suddenly becomes an orc, this is an extremely cruel change, and it is very difficult.

You must inject the appropriate mana into your body little by little for many years, endure the pain of mana raging in your body, and wait until you grow a mana gland, and then slowly train like an orc to transform mana into the muscles of your body.

But Zhang Ziqing was the Grand Governor of Dongsha Huazhou, so how could he know how the orcs were trained? Unless he had a connection with some orcs......

Fei Guna didn't dare to imagine it anymore, he was absolutely loyal to Zhang Ziqing, so he gritted his teeth, and Fei Guna decided to hide this secret no matter what, and never go any further.

Needless to say, Zimu Xiya and Fei Guna both understand who Zhang Ziqing is doing this for.

Since the Grand Overseer is one of the orcs, then this is a scene, who is it for? What is the purpose? Fei Guna can only guess the first half, so he and Zimu Xiya can only cooperate with Zhang Ziqing's orders at any time, and Uruna is absolutely not allowed to know.

Sure enough, just as the people were about to gather in front of the city gates, one of the orcs was defeated and quickly fled, while the other orc also burrowed into the grass.

"Immediately open the gates of the city to meet the Grand Doge. Fei Guna conveyed the order to the Elven Overseer: "The Flying Rider Guard has just spotted the Governor's traces from the sky. ”

"But... We didn't see any of the Flying Riders come to help, did we?"

"If even you can find out, then can you still be a flying cavalry guard? ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the city gate opened, and the soldiers successfully found the injured Zhang Ziqing in the grass, he was fine, all of them were some skin injuries, but his spirit looked very poor.

This is also the sequelae after transforming into an orc, Zhang Ziqing must rest for a day and a night in order to replenish his mental and physical strength. And every time the orcs gain strength, they will shorten Zhang Ziqing's lifespan to varying degrees.

After the people were 'rescued', the great butler Fei Guna immediately arranged to go back to the house to heal his wounds, and the group hurriedly left the top of the city wall, and the news of the orc's visit naturally came from the mouths of the soldiers here.

——

Zhang Ziqing wants to do a big thing, he has actually had a secret relationship with the orc general Bai Musi for a long time, and they want to cooperate with the outside and get the real ruling power of Dongsha Huazhou.

Bai Musi had already been dissatisfied with the ruler of the Yuanmu Lie Kingdom, and the Cloud Dragon King promised because of the matter of Zimu Xiya, and Yang Moya would never punish Zhang Ziqing for anything before he grew up, and Bai Musi had half of the military power of the Yuanmu Lie Kingdom in his hands, so he could completely rely on them to open up the territory.

This is also the real reason why Zhang Ziqing prevented Shi Yuan and Occasional Crya from killing Bai Musi, who was Zhang Ziqing's powerful foreign aid.

Yang Moya is the hope of the Cloud Dragon King, and he is also the Cloud Dragon King's greatest enemy, and when the time comes, one of the two of them will inevitably become the most powerful existence and become the ruler of the Shahua Continent.

Zhang Ziqing didn't know the existence of Su An Ni, all he wanted was to let Zimu Xiya survive in this game, and if he wanted to survive, he had to win, and it only took 20 years, first take Dongsha Huazhou, and then let this army and Bai Musi's army be cannon fodder to resist the Yunlong Iron Cavalry for him.

And Zhang Ziqing relied on the power of transforming into an orc to take away Zimu Xiya and Yang Moya, take them away and fly high, let Yang Moya hide and continue to accumulate strength, he believes that one day, even if he dies, as long as Zimu Xiya has a powerful Yang Moya, he can live.

The reason why he wanted the housekeeper to understand that he could transform into an orc was because of the housekeeper's absolute loyalty to him, and Zhang Ziqing needed loyal people to become stepping stones, just like Shiyuan, Even, and Feiguna.

I don't understand my ultimate goal, I am blindly loyal, I pave the way for myself, and if I want to achieve great things, I must be cruel, which is what King Yunlong himself taught Zhang Ziqing.

The housekeeper Fei Guna would never spread Zhang Ziqing's secret, and even if Zimu Xiya knew about it, he would cooperate, because how could he hope that his son would become a loser in the future?

Zimu Xiya is indeed grateful to Zhang Ziqing for his dedication, but he can only exchange his life for Zhang Ziqing's life at the last moment, and at other times, he is the guardian of Su An Ni. Zhang Ziqing's plan is actually in the hands of the Cloud Dragon King, and Yang Moya must be strong, but his role is just the 'food' of Su An Ni or the Cloud Dragon King, one day, Yang Moya will be absorbed by one of these two people, and everything Zhang Ziqing is doing now will become a handle for the Cloud Dragon King to kill him in the future.

——

Let's get down to business, finding orcs in front of the city gate is not a trivial matter, and it will soon be known to everyone, not to mention that they also attacked the Grand Governor Zhang Ziqing, which can only show that the Yuanmu Lie Kingdom broke the peace treaty between the two countries and attempted to kill the supreme governor of Dongsha Huazhou and seize the main city.

If this matter reaches the ears of the Yunlong King, it will definitely increase the troops of Dongsha Huazhou and issue a warning to the ruler of the Yuanmu Lie Kingdom, so that Bai Musi will have a reason to stop harassing the border, and Zhang Ziqing will also regularly secretly send supplies to Bai Musi's army to ensure that Bai Musi can secretly recruit troops and expand the army.

As for Zhang Ziqing's own side, of course, he will also vigorously expand his strength, cultivate cronies, and prepare for rebellion.
