Chapter 100: The Campfire Dinner
Of course, only the trolls know whether the living taste good or not, and Rocky never said that anyway.
He only told Hegel before the war that after the war, he would need some captives to do coolies without killing all the escaped warriors of the Austro-French legion.
Hegel, as a wise troll witch doctor, certainly knew how to control his own people with bad brains, so he added this sentence on his own initiative.
Fortunately, he said this sentence in the troll language, otherwise, those human warriors would rather choose to die on the spot than be surrendered and captured!
Once again, the Marquis of Kent was right that night when he did not order the pursuit, and under the keen perception of the trolls, the sons of the forest, the human warriors could not escape their pursuit in the mountains and forests.
According to later statistics, there were less than three hundred human warriors who were able to successfully escape back to Fathir City!
As the sun sets and the moon rises, in the valley where the Temple of the Moon is located, a bonfire party celebrating victory is held among the corpses on the ground.
Because of Rocky's existence, because of the common victory, the trolls and beasts, two creatures that used to be food and predators, tonight were like friends who had not seen each other for many years, sharing each other's captured wine and food, and from time to time they let out all kinds of strange noises.
The mages were undoubtedly the ones who would not be wronged, and from the dozens of space bags captured on the battlefield, Rocky and they found a large amount of exquisite food and drink, plus the baggage food found from the camp of the Arcane Legion, which was completely enough to make this bonfire party free of food worries.
Outside the temple is where ordinary trolls and beasts celebrate their victories, while inside the temple is where Rocky, Catwoman Tina, Natasha, and high-level people such as Jaais and the troll witch doctor Hegel celebrate.
At this moment, in the apse of the temple, Rocky, who had changed back into human form, was holding a black hand crossbow and looking carefully, this hand crossbow was nothing else, it was really the death hand crossbow of Miffus that he found from the corpse of Patriarch Matthew after the war.
After carefully looking at it inch by inch for a while, he put down his crossbow and sighed: "I still can't believe that such an inconspicuous little hand crossbow actually has the power to slay dragons that even adult dragons can kill!"
Hearing his sigh, the eyes of several people in the room also showed surprise, Natasha, who was sipping a small wine, also poured a full glass of wine, and then sighed with a long breath: "Yes, if you didn't talk about this, I can't believe this fact, after all, we all know how powerful an adult dragon is!"
"Arcane Empire......" Rocky shook his head, spitting out the words heavily.
Natasha's eyes flashed with light, they were all from the main material plane, and she naturally understood that the "Arcane Empire" in Rocky's mouth meant the one that had become extinct in the main material plane, not the "toy" of the current Draenor plane.
In terms of the strength of those great arcanists who could even do it back then, it was really not too difficult to create such a legendary weapon, after all, the Arcane Empire had even made several artifacts in the first place.
Miffys' death crossbow was finally carefully collected by Rocky into the spatial ring that Erica had given him, and there were two crossbows in this crossbow, which would surely become a trump card in his hand in the future.
In addition to Miffus's death hand crossbow, in the space bag and space ring of the Marquis of Kent and Patriarch Matthew, Rocky also found a large number of precious magic materials, in terms of these things, the stingy nature of the black dragon did not affect him anything, he was very generous to let Natasha pick up one-third of the harvest, which was counted as the reward for her two shots.
Of course, the only person who is qualified to pick and take the spoils of war is Natasha, and Rocky is not generous enough to share his spoils with his servants, at most he will reward them with some food and drink.
The bonfire lasted until late at night, and many people fell asleep in the square due to the high-intensity fighting and alcohol in the afternoon, and were finally dragged back to their rooms like dead dogs.
......
The destruction of the Arcane Legion and the death of the Seventh Patriarch soon spread throughout the Arcane Empire, causing countless people to discuss.
At this time, an even more exciting news came out, someone had discovered a city founded by visitors from another world in the "Savage Hills", which had also not yet been incorporated into the territory of the Empire, and most of the Savage Hills were now included in the territory of that city.
Coupled with the unrest of the Ural mines, even the most insensitive ordinary people smelled something unusual and began to stock up on daily necessities such as food and salt at home.
In the city of Arcan, the Senate was rarely silent on the fall of the Arcane Legion, and did not have any intention of convening a meeting to discuss the matter, as if the fall of the Arcane Legion was not worth paying attention to at all, and even the mourning ceremony of Patriarch Matthew was held in a very low-key manner.
Is that really the case?
Of course not, whether it is the fall of the Arcane Legion, or the death of a senator, and the disappearance of the secret treasure of the patriarch's inheritance, it is a major event that shakes the entire empire, and if the Senate does not pay attention to this kind of major event, then there is no need for it to exist.
Only a few people know that except for the two elders who went to the Ural Mines to deal with it, the remaining ten elders in the city have actually gone to a top secret place in the city to visit and meet a mysterious being.
"Great Neo, please forgive us for our presumptuous visit, but now that we are confused, we urgently need your guidance to get out of the confusion!"
In the lavishly decorated underground palace, the ten senators who held the supreme power of the Arcane Empire on the surface were now kneeling on the ground in a row like humble slaves.
At their top, a pitch-black steel puppet eight or nine meters tall sat on a steel throne like a king, looking down on them from above.
When the First Elder said what he meant in a respectful tone, the ruby eyes of the pitch-black steel puppet suddenly shone with a palpitating red light, and then a cold, emotionless voice buzzed from the puppet's mouth.
"Because of your stupidity and incompetence, the moonlight of Suren has shone here, no matter what you do next, this plane will not escape the sight of the gods, and before I go to the mechanical realm, you can also teleport to other planes through me, if you are willing to let go of mortal power!"
