Chapter 14: The Terran Response
Since the orcs can surrender to the barbarians, there will naturally be spies of the orcs who will report to the human race. As a result, the battle between the orcs and the barbarians, and what happened afterward, was soon learned by the intelligence services on the borders of the Norton Kingdom.
The beasts and barbarians fight to the death, and they have little to do with the human race, so several nobles and lords on the border don't pay much attention to it, but they just routinely report this matter, and then submit it layer by layer, and finally come to the desk of Count Lambert, the Minister of Intelligence, in the Norton Kingdom of Dore.
Lambert was able to become the Minister of Intelligence, so he naturally would not be short-sighted like those small nobles on the frontier and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. In addition, Morgan, the great magician of the kingdom recently, has always taken the trouble to spread the rise of the barbarians in the upper echelons of the nobility that cannot be ignored, so he took this information and hurried to meet King Norton VII.
Norton VII had just turned fifty years old, and was in the prime of life, when he heard Lambert's request to see him, and although he was puzzled, he accepted his plea.
"Your Majesty, here's a piece of information that requires your special attention!" Lambert saluted respectfully, and as a confidant, he didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the point.
Norton VII took the parchment, looked at it, raised his eyebrows, and was a little surprised: "This barbarian is so powerful?
The last time Morgan and Gerdonzan fled back with a thousand Terran cavalry, they lost their armor and dishonored Norton VII was very dissatisfied, and he felt that he had lost the face of the kingdom. Therefore, it is believed that the reason why Morgan preaches the strength of the barbarians is only to cover up his own shame. Unexpectedly, I saw the information today, the barbarian and the beast clan were fighting, not only won a big victory, but also caused the White Tiger Tribe's Mao Yixige to surrender and annex, which could not but attract his attention.
"Chances are, we have a lot of eyeliner within the orcs, and that's the news they've sent back. Even the White Tiger tribe has been divided, and the eldest son and the second son of Mausig have fought for the position of chieftain. On the contrary, it was the third Tumen Bayar, who migrated to the barbarians with at least 100,000 orcs. Lambert said.
After a little hesitation, feeling that the news was still not clear enough, Norton VII thought for a while, and opened his mouth to order the guards: "Order, let General Woodrow bring his barbarian student, named Gerdonzan, to the palace." ”
The guards were soon ordered to leave, and Norton VII sent a map of the southern prairies, and Earl Lambert waited for General Woodrow's arrival while analyzing the current distribution of barbarian and orc forces.
Ever since Gerdonzan was badly wounded and fled back to the kingdom of Norton in disarray, he has stopped a lot and followed Woodrow to practice fighting qi with peace of mind. Now that he has made rapid progress and has successfully entered the ranks of the [Earth Samurai], he is only in his twenties, and he can be described as brilliant, even if his background is a little humble. But with his own strength and the influence of his teacher Woodrow, there are still many aristocratic women who flock to him.
Woodrow was very optimistic about his student, and strictly forbade others to interfere with him, and was ready to carefully cultivate Gerdonzan in order to make him the youngest [Sky Knight] in the mainland.
Defeated by Zhangxiong Gyatso and his Beamon Behemoth, Geerdonzan was also ashamed, so he worked harder and harder, and became a cultivator.
When he heard the king's summons, although he was puzzled, Woodrow quickly called Gerdonzan and hurried straight to the palace.
General Woodrow was also a confidant of the king, so he soon met the king. The two saluted respectfully.
Norton VII smiled and said, "Oh, General Woodrow is here, come quickly, Lambert and I are analyzing the situation on the prairie now, you can also give your opinion." ”
Looking at Gerdonzan, who was respectfully following behind Woodrow, Norton VII said, "Haha, this must be the general's proud student Gerdonzan, right? Come, I have something to ask for your advice!"
Ge Erdonzan was flattered and hurriedly followed the teacher over.
Norton VII asked Lambert to talk about the current situation on the grasslands, when he learned that the barbarians were no longer willing to lie dormant and began to stretch out their claws to the orcs. Woodrow looked surprised, and couldn't help but look at his student Gerdonzan. Because the last time Gerduzan came back, he had told him...... The barbarian's Zhangxiong Gyatso should not be underestimated, as long as he unifies the barbarians, sooner or later he will send troops to the beasts, and now the student's prophecy has come true.
"General Woodrow, who do you think will laugh at the end between the beasts and the barbarians?" asked the king.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about barbarians, so it's really hard to say, so let's just let my student Ge Dongzan talk about it, after all, he is from a barbarian tribe, and he should know that Zhangxiong Gyatso very well. ”
The three of them all looked at Geerdonzan, Geerdonzan was a little excited, took a deep breath, and said: "Your Majesty, two adults, I think that if the barbarians and the beasts are allowed to face off like this, it will be the barbarians of Zhangxiong Gyatso who will win in the end, and once the barbarians surrender to the beasts, their strength will increase dramatically. At that time, our Norton Kingdom will face tremendous pressure. ”
"Hehe, is this Zhangxiong Gyatso really so powerful?" Norton VII was a little unimpressed.
"Your Majesty, I have dealt with Zhangxiong Gyatso several times, and I still know him a little. First of all, he is very powerful, as can be seen from the unification of the barbarian tribe and the expulsion of the barbarian king Xiang Ba Rencuo. Moreover, there is a Beamon giant beast beside him, although it is only a cub, but there is this totem beast that is very important to the beast clan, it must be impressed by the beast clan, and I don't know what to say, it is just a matter of time. His ambition is great, once he annexes the southern savannah, he will covet the fertile lands of Middle-earth, and when the time comes, our kingdom of Norton will undoubtedly bear the brunt. ”
Geerdonzan's analysis is very reasonable, if Zhangxiong Gyatso is really such a person, then it is indeed necessary to prepare in advance!
"And what do you think we should do?" asked Norton VII.
Taking a deep breath, Gerdon praised, "I think the Norton Kingdom should send troops to help the Orcs defeat the barbarians and expel them back to the Tulum Wasteland. ”
Norton VII subconsciously shook his head, although he knew that it was most appropriate to do so, he could nip the barbarians in the bud. But the Norton people, who have suffered from the invasion of the orcs, are afraid that they are about to fall into trouble.
General Woodrow also shook his head: "No, if we send troops to help the orcs, the warriors below will not agree." ”
What should I do then?" Count Lambert suddenly suggested: "Either we will secretly provide the orcs with sophisticated weapons, arm more orc armies, and fight against the barbarians." When the time comes, they will lose both sides and suffer heavy casualties, and presumably our borders will be much safer. ”
That's a good idea!Both Norton VII and General Woodrow nodded in agreement. Geerdonzan was soft-spoken, knowing that he couldn't change their minds, so he had to say secretly...... When you are infested by the barbarians in the future, it will be too late to look back and regret it!
