Rose Collar, Ilmasu, Urn City of the West, Morgue.

The Minister of War, Eliad, circled around a corpse in the center of the morgue, observing it carefully, his scarred face growing colder and colder as time passed, and his eyes flashed with indescribable doubt and a hint of ...... Worry.

It was a werewolf-like corpse, but even larger, placed on a stone platform in the center of the room, his limbs and head drooping down, his skeleton was unusually large, his muscles were full and strong, with this anti-joint hind limbs and thick gray hair, and his hands had thick pads of flesh that could pop out sharp and sharp claws.

His head resembled a wolf's head, but it was even narrower, and one eye had been pierced by an arrow, sticking out from behind the skull, which was his fatal wound.

And his body is covered with gray-white leather armor made of some kind of animal skin, and the workmanship is extremely rough, but it is obviously taken from some kind of high-level demonic beast, and his defense is not low. The leather armor was not well maintained, with obvious scars from knives and axes, as well as dark red blood and shredded flesh in some corners.

The monster hadn't been dead for long, and the corpse wasn't badly decomposed, but it was clear that he wasn't a clean person, and the room was filled with a strong stench of blood and blood, but Eliad was still keenly aware of the smell of sulfur hidden under the stench.

With a flash of his eyes, Eliad cut through the leather armor with his hands, pressed his hands on the sides of the corpse, and groped his way up little by little, through the tough skin, thick hair, and dense scars all over his body, he finally saw an emblem on the corpse's chest, which was a three-headed flail waved by a sharp claw.

At this point, Eliade finally gave up all illusions, gritted his teeth and spat out a few words: "Abyssal gnolls!" ”

"Tell me, what's going on?"

On the side, a soldier dressed as an officer immediately said: "Two days ago, I received a report from a hunter that it was said that there were monsters in the western part of the country, and after asking about the situation, I arranged for a team of soldiers to conduct an inspection.

But the next day, the corpses of this group of soldiers were found outside the border, and a total of twelve soldiers were not spared, and after careful investigation, almost all of them were directly torn apart by some kind of monster with sharp claws. Immediately, I hired a team of pros to hunt it down, and they eventually brought back the corpse. ”

"Your Majesty, before you arrived, I had asked experienced hunters to take a closer look, and they all agreed that this was not an ordinary werewolf, nor a dark werewolf from another world, but an abyssal gnoll. ”

After a slight pause, the officer added: "After I feel that something is wrong, I immediately exclude the most elite scouts in the army to go deep into the outer realm, and I just got some news before you arrived......

As he spoke, he paused again, his expression seeming to be a little hesitant.

"Don't ramble, what's the point!" Eliad said lightly:

"Due to the short period of time, the scouts have not tracked down the large legions, but based on the footprints left on the ground, they have judged that there may be legions gathered, and it is likely that the Orc Legion is very likely. ”

"Legion of Evil Orcs?" Eliad's eyes froze, and he instantly looked at the officer, his eyes as sharp as knives.

The officer didn't say much, just looked at each other calmly for two seconds, lowered his eyes, and Eliad turned back again, staring at the huge corpse in front of him, his brow furrowing more and more.

After the Demon Tide opened, the turmoil in the Atlanta continent also affected the Rose Collar, from the initial Warcraft frenzy, to the later demon invasion, from the conspiracy of the evil gods, to the temptation of the devil, even if the previous Grand Duke Igor worked hard to maintain it, he could not prevent the Rose Collar from going towards chaos and collapse step by step.

But since Muen took over and cleared all the rebellions in a battle, the entire Rose Territory has stabilized, and outside the city of Igor, whether it is the evil orcs in the west, the devils in the east, or the ogres in the south, they have all withdrawn from the territory of the Rose Territory.

This also makes the 'territory recovery mission' planned by Mu En extremely easy, the Glory Legion is considered to be fighting life and death in the scorched land prison, but the Guardian Legion is really easy to sweep away the scattered monsters around, and the entire territory of the Rose Territory has been restored, and even expanded a lot.

Because of the continuous erection of the Bright Gate, the city of Ilmasu became more and more prosperous, and almost at the moment of the reconquest of the territory, the Minister of State Aso had already begun to arrange the development and preparation work, and as for the plan, he had already done it before.

But now, when this construction is in full swing, the news of the invasion of the evil orc army has actually broken out, which is definitely not a trivial matter, and it may even break the existing good situation of the Rose Territory, after all, one of the most important reasons why those noble and wealthy merchants are rushing to the Rose Territory is safety.

Eliad rushed over almost as soon as he received the news, and on the way, he was still holding on to luck, but by this moment Eliad had given up all illusions.

The Evil Orc Legion is not terrifying, the Evil Orc Legion led by the terrible Abyss Gnolls, that means that behind them stands the one who is the ruler of the 422nd layer of the Abyss, in charge of the chaotic and evil Abyss Demon God, the King of the Gnolls.

"Is that one eyeing the Rose Collar? or is there something else wrong?"

Just as Eliad frowned and pondered, a rush of footsteps came, and a guard hurriedly walked up to Eliad and said, "Your Majesty, news has come from the main city that the Grand Duchess is already waiting for you in the council chamber. ”

"Well, okay, I'll go over now. Eliad agreed, and at the same time instructed the warrior next to him: "Pass my order, the Guardian Legion will be put on alert, and the patrol team will be doubled, if there are really evil orcs to attack, I need to know as soon as possible."

By the way, the corpse of this abyssal gnoll will be cremated directly to prevent contamination by the power of the abyss. ”

"Whoa!"

@@@

Half an hourglass hour later, the main town, the Rose Castle, the Council Chamber.

Eliad sat in his place, explained everything clearly, and then continued: "That's the general situation, but on the way back, I thought about it carefully, and I always felt that this invasion of the Orc-Legion was a bit strange. ”

"What's so weird, please speak up?" At the top of the long table, Aya protected her growing belly with one hand, and kneaded her eyebrows with the other, as if she had a headache.

Behind her stood Abdul-Jabbar, the penguin butler, and on the left and right sat the leader of the Ivory White Witch Legion, Grand Wizard Kyrie Miso, the leader of the Spellcaster Legion, Shazo, the Minister of State, Aso, and the patrol leader Victor, plus the invisible Guardian arranged by Eliad and Muen.

Amazingly, this is already a gathering of the highest authorities in the Rose Territory today.

Eliad didn't explain for the first time, but thought slightly, and said after a while: "After the previous battle in the Rose Territory, the Evil Orc Legion retreated without a fight, which made our operation to recover the territory very smooth, but from another point of view, the strength of the Evil Orc Legion has not been damaged, and they have the power to invade the Rose Territory."

We all know that this wave of orc-men is led by the Abyssal Gnolls, and I can't fathom what one thinks, but there are two things.

One is that the one who has set his sights on the rose collar and is ready to take the blood sacrifice of the people of the rose collar.

If this is the case, we must naturally only fight hard with real swords and guns, and we must pass the news to Grand Duke Mu En as soon as possible, and ask Grand Duke to lead the return of the Glory Legion on behalf of the Grand Duke and preside over the overall situation.

However, I also have doubts, according to the news from the Grand Duke before, the war in the Scorched Land Prison is in a stalemate stage, and both sides have done their best, and the one who even has the bloody battle army has been transferred to the battlefield. I wonder why he's still in the mood to stare at the rose collar?"

"The other is what the other one is planning. This may have something to do with Grand Duke Muen in the Scorched Earth Prison, or something involved in the Rose Collar, and the specific information is too little to measure. ”

"I've thought about it before, is it because the identity of Grand Duke Mu En has been leaked? But it's not right to think about it, even if it is leaked, a glorious legion will not be placed in the eyes of that one, let alone force Grand Duke Mu En to return by such means. ”

After Eliad finished speaking, his brows furrowed even tighter, and Aya exchanged glances with a few others, then waved his hand lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, can you take a look at this first?"

As he spoke, the penguin butler behind him took out a golden scroll, took a few quick steps, and handed it to Eliad.
