The location of the Earl of Williams is awkward, and although it has not yet been officially declared a kingdom, it has a vast territory, bordering the northern prairies and the Rhine Union below. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are countless orc and half-orc tribes living in the northern steppes, but due to racial and other problems, the tribes are often at war with each other, and there has not been a single king in the last few thousand years (of course, the king who should have appeared in this era has become a stable keeper). However, when the winter of the steppe comes, these orc and half-orc tribes often raid the human kingdom in the south of the steppe because of food and pastures.

And the Earl of Williams was the first to bear the brunt, becoming the vanguard of the resistance against the orcs on the eastern continent.

And the Rhine Union under the Earl of Williams is like annexing the Earl of Williams all the time. The Rhine Alliance was first formed by the nine kingdom principalities on the Rhine River to form the "Nine Star Alliance" to resist the powerful vampire kingdom at that time.

Later, the vampires were defeated and the balance between the north and south of the eastern continent was restored, while the Nine Star Alliance constantly persuaded or directly demanded that the surrounding earls and marquises join the alliance. The Nine-Star Alliance is getting bigger and bigger, and for the sake of the so-called cohesion, it was renamed the "Rhine Alliance".

The Earl of Williams is the largest and strongest country around the Rhine Confederation that has not yet entered the Confederation. In the Rhine Alliance, because this alliance still benefited the most from the first nine kingdoms, and even the flag of the Rhine Alliance at this time was still nine stars.

The Rhine Alliance longs for the Earls of Williams to join, and for the Astrologers and Muppets of the Earls of Williams.

Yes, the Earl of Williams has been able to stand in such a situation for so long because it is the home of astrologers. Astrologers, who are scarce on the mainland, grab a handful here. Although astrologers are generally less powerful than traditional magicians, astrologers are capable of making ragdolls.

Yes, the Muppets. This kind of puppet, which is infused with the star light by the astrologer to produce a short life, is the support of the astrologers and the shield of the astrologers. Relying on astrologers, the Earl of Williams formed a large number of puppet legions, that is, a large number of cannon fodder......

As I once said, quantitative change produces qualitative change, and when a large number of cannon fodder is gathered together, it is also a force to be reckoned with. (Why do people boycott necromancers?, partly because he can create skeletons, and he can make tons of cannon fodder, and cannon fodder means cheap...... ）

Of course, in the face of great strength, no amount of cannon fodder is useless. But when the high-level forces of the two sides are almost the same, the two sides will confront each other because of various scruples, and let the low-level forces below fight a few battles first.

The Earl of Williams is because it not only has a large number of cannon fodder legions, but also demigods to rely on. It's not that the Rhine Alliance doesn't have demigods, but each of the nine countries has demigods, and if they go together, the demigods of the Earl of Williams will definitely not be able to resist it, but there is a moral problem in this.

As long as it is a civilized world, when it is not absolutely chaotic, we must pay attention to morality. The other Earls of Williams are resisting the orcs on the front line, while your Rhine Alliance is stabbing in the back, and this kind of morality mixed with racial righteousness is also one of the shields of the Earl of Williams.

So, while the position of the Earl of Williams is awkward, he is endured and upright.

......

At the border of the Earldom of Williams and the Prairie.

There is a large tribe here, which belongs to the alien species of the steppe - the half-sheep people.

The half-sheep people hate fighting, like to be calm, friendly, industrious and good at business. The most important point is that the half-sheep people are a little different from other orcs or half-orcs in that they do not believe in the beast god, but in the god of faun - Pan.

This tribe of half-sheep is very close to the territory of the Earl of Williams, but there is no army of Muppets to drive them away, but from time to time they will come to help them resist the bloodthirsty orc tribes of the steppe.

This tribe of half-sheep people is still mainly grazing, but the tribe is in full swing, and merchants from the human world use it as a market. Buy all kinds of specialties and horses from the grassland, and exchange them for all kinds of life and luxury goods in the human world.

Half-sheep people are good at business, that is to say, they are good at business. They sent small teams to the less bloodthirsty orc tribes of the steppes to exchange the things of the human world for their livestock products or other specialties, and then took these things back to the humans to earn the difference.

The half-sheep love gold coins and are not stingy with dwarves, goblins, or believers in the god of wealth, but because they are orcs, with human prejudice against orcs, they have never faced up to this outlier among the orcs, which makes them make a fortune.

This tribe of about 100,000 half-sheep people, plus permanent or temporary humans, has a total population of 1120,000. And the half-sheep people raised more livestock, hundreds of thousands of various kinds of livestock.

But even today, no livestock comes out of the tribe to graze. The tribal market was also not as noisy as usual. The whole tribe was dead, as if there was not a single living person.

Yes, there is not a single living person or a living half-sheep man, not even a living livestock.

A bird, oh, actually a parrot hovering in the air of this tribe, and if you can get close to him, or dare to approach him, you can hear a sound from his beak that is not a bird at all.

The voice was strange and evil, low and hoarse, like a minority, like a spell.

And if we look under the parrot, we can see that the houses in the middle of the tribe have somehow disappeared out of thin air, and a large clearing has appeared, and these clearings are filled with corpses on top of each other.

The carcasses of humans were mixed with the carcasses of the half-sheep, while the carcasses of livestock were next to each other. So many corpses were stacked on top of each other, reaching a height of more than ten meters, densely filling the entire open space.

The parrot in the sky continued to hover, and esoteric spells continued to come out of his mouth. Well, everyone knows this parrot, and it's very obvious that it's our Lord Barbossa.

Finally Barbossa stopped chanting the mantra because he had already finished it. He froze in mid-air, and he could see a faint shadow floating from the corpse below, it was the soul.

These souls converged in the sky above the corpse, and suddenly a purple-red point of light appeared, and this point of light quickly engulfed all the souls. The point of light expanded and expanded, forming an illusory gate with a height of fifty or sixty meters and a width of hundreds of meters.

A huge figure loomed inside the gate, and an evil aura pierced through the gate.

"Who is it? Who dares to summon me, who summons me and my legions......"
