Chapter 397: The Butterfly Queen
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the barren wilderness, it is difficult to find the slightest bit of life.
The sun was shining for Crotty, but after arriving in the east of the abandoned continent, it turned into a scorching sun. This place is diametrically opposed to the west of the abandoned continent where Suge was located at the time. To the west of the mountain, the sky seemed to be covered with dark clouds, except for the Valley of the Wind. But to the east of the mountain, this is not a desert, but it is even more difficult for creatures to survive than a desert.
The orcs are tenacious, and they survive tenaciously on a few large oases.
The orcs have a population of 10 million. From this data, you can see how strong the orc race is to reproduce. You must know that when the human race returned to the East under the leadership of the thirty-three saints Nanas, there were less than 10 million people.
This wilderness can't accommodate too many people.
The elders of the orc clan, except for the priests, will take the initiative to go to the mountains and end their lives when they find that they are physically weak.
But that's not enough. The ability of the orcs to reproduce is too strong, and if this continues, there will definitely be turmoil within the orcs, and the various races will fight each other to reduce the growing population. They don't have the ability to adapt to the environment like humans.
It has been said that the most powerful human talent is self-discipline. In fact, the most powerful talent of human beings should be nothing more than the ability to create an environment suitable for human existence in a harsh environment.
Orcs don't have such talent, they can only "boil" and use their strong vitality and reproductive ability to pass on their ancestry.
The problem of growing population is getting worse. It would have been nice if in the past, the various races had fought a few battles, wiped out some of the excess population, and left only the strong orcs.
But now, for more than a hundred years, the orcs have a common queen, and under the leadership of the queen, no one dares to continue to follow the previous way.
Butterfly Queen!
She comes from a strange branch of the orc race: the Butterfly Clan.
There are no branches of insects in the orc race, but there is the only insect orc, the butterfly people.
The Butterfly People are probably the closest human-looking race. Aside from those gifted races, the wisdom and appearance of the green-skinned orcs are the closest to humans, but the butterfly people, a race that only appeared after coming to the abandoned continent, are on par with humans except for a pair of butterfly wings.
They are the aborigines of the abandoned continent, and they are also considered orcs. Legend has it that these butterflies used to live in the desert west of the mountain, and their natural skill was "illusion". The Butterfly Queen, who has mastered the magic of illusion, makes all the orc leaders bow down to her.
Phantom Snow is the name of the Queen of Butterflies. Of course, not too many people in the orc clan know the name of Phantom Snow, after all, except for the chiefs and sacrifices of various clans, anyone who sees Phantom Snow can only bow their heads and kneel on the ground without saying a word.
The origin of her name is quite interesting.
When she was born, the snow fell in the barren wilderness, like a miracle, like a dream.
If you use Crotty's chronology, it is the winter of Crotty 426. Phantom Snow gathers the chieftains of various clans in the central oasis. On weekdays, Phantom Snow doesn't care about these various orc races, how to develop how she likes, how she wants to develop, as long as it doesn't violate the laws she makes, she doesn't care.
A man in leather armor, like a knight in light armor, was organizing the chiefs of the various clans to sit down in front of the Temple of Illusion. He has a very good figure, which is the head ...... It's a wolf head.
"Rako, can you tell us what the Queen is summoning us to do?"
The one who spoke was a minotaur, with two golden rings hanging from his nose, and the air leaking from his nostrils blew the rings "staggering" when he spoke.
The werewolf is Rayco, and he and his werewolf clan are the most loyal lackeys of the Butterfly Queen!
"Chief Bloodhoof, the Queen said she would tell you herself. ”
Rako behaved very politely, after all, werewolves are a relatively intelligent race among the orcs.
"It's going to be a war, Phantom Xue herself knows that the laws formulated are not suitable for our orc race! Our orcs have such a strong reproductive ability, this broken place can't let all of us coexist, only killing each other and leaving the most elite race is the best choice!"
On the other side came a discordant voice, a somewhat bitter voice that made all the chiefs uncomfortable to hear. This is one of the most powerful branches of the orcs, the chieftain of the greenskinned orcs, Bloodroar.
Greenskinned orcs are not strong orcs, and a single minotaur warrior can easily take down ten greenskinned warriors of the same rank. But the green-skinned orcs have any talent that orcs don't have: the ability to learn martial arts.
Let's take the Minotaur as an example. After the birth of the minotaur, it can be seen that this calf is not suitable for sacrifice. But the green-skinned orcs are different, no matter who they are, they can go and learn the spells of shamanic sacrifice. In other words, the green-skinned orcs can cultivate shamans in batches, and shaman sacrifices are definitely one of the most powerful forces on the battlefield, just like human magicians.
In addition, the reproduction ability of the green-skinned orcs is stronger than that of other races.
Listening to the words of the blood roar, those poor little races, such as the chiefs of the deer people, hid to the side and did not dare to speak. If it really has to be "survival of the fittest", these "vegetarians" of the deer people will become the rations of the green-skinned orcs as soon as possible.
Rako was very unhappy with Bloodroar's words, "Bloodroar! watch your words, don't call the queen by her name. ”
"Hmph!" Bloodroar was disdainful of the threat from Rako, "The so-called queen is like that, if Phantom Snow can be like when she was born, and give the abandoned continent a few snowfalls, our lives will not become more and more difficult." ”
"Bloodroar, are you expressing your displeasure with the Great Queen?" Rako pulled out the knife at his waist, "I'm going to duel you!"
"Hahaha!" Blood Roar stood up and took the axe from the guard next to him, "Just like a human, what about a duel? If the war starts, I will be the first to destroy your werewolf clan, thinking that you wolf cavalry can really roam the world?"
"Bang"
As soon as the blood roar finished speaking, his eyes widened and he looked surprised.
Everyone looked at Blood Roar in shock, and at this time, there was an extra white ice crystal on the door of Blood Roar's head, and the ice crystal pierced his head, and the blood was instantly frozen by the ice crystal, and then, his entire head turned into an ice cube. He fell to the ground, and his head shattered into pieces like that.
A Saint-level powerhouse has fallen like this?
"I was going to go back, but there are still people who don't want to go back?"
A coquettish, soft voice rang out from the temple of illusion.
All the chiefs stood up and bowed, "Meet Her Majesty." ”
At this time, no one dared to take a second look at the debris on the ground. But no one dared to oppose Phantom Snow.
A lady wearing a white ruffled dress and a rich gold raff collar around her neck appeared at the entrance of the main hall. If it weren't for the pair of snow-white butterfly wings behind her, she would be no different from Crotty's most upscale aristocrat.
"I have gathered you here today to make an announcement. ”
Seeing that the chiefs were still bowing their heads, Phantom Snow's voice became softer and softer, with a strong sense of urgency in the gentleness: "The barrier of the Yongdong Mountain Range is about to be opened!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?!"
"Regression...... Can we come back?"
The chiefs were suddenly in a mess.
Only the werewolf king Rako remained quite calm, although his heart was also a mess, extremely surprised.
Rako made a knightly salute to Phantom Snow on the side, "Then please also ask the Queen, lead our orcs back to the Miracle Continent to reclaim our land." ”
"Of course. "Phantom Snow with a beautiful face, smiling like a flower.
Delicate snowflakes drifted in the sky, even if it was an illusion, enough for the orcs to revel.
