Chapter 167: Soul Death
"Human slaves?" Crove Black Rock asked rhetorically, "Is it necessary to use such a sacrifice?" He asked, on the one hand, because he was a little reluctant, after all, if these human slaves were brought back to the Orc Empire, they would also be a great fortune;
On the other hand, he was also afraid that after this matter leaked out, there would be human powerhouses who would come to him for revenge, well, it was one thing for the two races to have casualties in a war, but it was another thing to simply use it for evil sacrifices, the latter of which clearly crossed the red line.
As if knowing what he was worried about, Gruudan quietly cast a "bewitchment spell" on him, while continuing to say in a strongly suggestive language: "As long as we do something secretive and let your people get enough benefits, I don't think it's difficult to keep this secret." ”
Croft hesitantly asked, "Do you have to use human slaves as sacrifices?"
"My lord will not accept that kind of sacrifice," Gurudan flatly vetoed, "If you want to get strong support, you must pay a sufficient price! ”
Croft didn't notice that his tone had softened, and before he knew it, he had been bewitched by Grudan, and in his head, with the help of Grudan, he had breached Silverpine Castle, captured Golden Moon City, and obtained the wealth of the sea, and then returned to the Orc Empire to be ashamed, knocking down the tribal chieftains who had oppressed him to the ground.
As a result, the military chiefs of the Black Rock tribe were reconvened by their chiefs shortly after leaving Crof's tent, and this time, they received a clear order, "Leave half of the wolf cavalry to guard the camp, and the rest will disperse to the area north of the human defense line to search for humans, whether men, women, children, or women, and bring back all the humans they can find." ”
At the same time, in the rear of the Black Rock Orc camp, Gurudan is assisting a team of orc wolf cavalry, forcing the existing human slaves in Croft's hands to build a huge "magic array", if Croft knows a little magic knowledge, he will know that the "magic summoning array" in front of him, which he has high hopes for, is actually a huge "altar".
Three days later, Fort Silverpine, Council Hall. Lin Fengzheng, Locklan, Shore and others were studying the movements of the orcs.
Locklan was the first to speak, "What the orcs have been doing very strangely lately, they have neither organized another siege, nor have they taken it and retreated when it is not good, what are they staying here for?"
Shore continued: "Moreover, they have sealed off their camp with wolf cavalry, and our spies and scouts have no way to get close to it, well, in order to get a little useful information, we sacrificed a squad of elite agents to bring back a vague piece of information, that is, what kind of array they are building behind the camp. ”
Tyranya also said at this time: "I have also scouted at high altitudes, and there is indeed something being built there, perhaps to confuse me, and they have made it a miasma of smoke and buildings, and the architectural style is also a mess, and I can't tell what they are trying to do." ”
"And I've flown over their camp to look farther away," Tyranya said in confusion, "their soldiers have divided into small groups to search for humans north of our line, and strangely enough, this time they have taken all the humans captive, rather than only the young men who are fit to be slaves, as they have done before. ”
Lin Feng also turned to Xiao Er at this time and asked, "Do you estimate that there are still many human civilians north of the defense line who have not withdrawn to the south?"
Shore thought for a moment and replied, "At least thirty percent of the civilians did not evacuate in time, some because the place where they lived was too remote and there was not enough time for them to evacuate, and some people were unwilling to leave their own land, well, these people didn't believe that those orcs would do anything to them, after all, they were also poor there, and they all thought that those orcs were going to the rich Golden Moon City." ”
In the end, Lin Feng and the others didn't discuss any good way, so they could only strengthen the existing defense line and work hard to hoard supplies to prepare for a protracted war with the orcs, while on the other hand, they continued to send elite spies to find out what the Black Rock orcs were doing on the other side.
For this reason, Lin Feng deliberately teleported back to Nanlin Island and recruited a group of orc spies at a high price among the first orc refugees to settle on Nanlin Island. It's just that these orc spies need to take a boat to Jinyue Harbor first and then ride to Silver Pine Castle, it will take them nearly ten days, and Lin Feng can't count on them for the time being.
As for letting them use the teleportation gem to quickly teleport to Silver Pine Castle, Lin Feng thought about it, but still didn't do that, first, the number of teleportation gems was insufficient, and second, Lin Feng couldn't fully trust them now, the secret of teleporting gems involved the safety of many people, and he couldn't leak it out hastily. As for him and Tyranya, high-level priests can always get a little teleportation equipment, well, this kind of equipment is not available to ordinary people.
It's just that these orc agents still didn't play a role in this war with the orcs in the end, because Grudan finally built their "summoning magic array" with the help of Croft at any cost.
On this day, it happened to be the day when the twin moons on the Strait continent shone brightly, and the silver moon and the dark moon appeared in the sky at the same time, and it was also the most suitable night for Gurudan to hold rituals, because the appearance of the dark moon allowed him to control the dark power in his body more smoothly.
In the huge magic array, one after another huge cages were stacked on top of each other, and the cages were filled with human slaves captured by Crof, Gruudan looked at the nearly half of the old and weak women and children in the cage, his face darkened, but when he saw the orc soldiers standing around the magic array ready to watch, his face showed an inexplicable smile.
Croft and his henchmen were also standing outside the magic circle and waiting, and his army was also surrounding the magic circle, well, according to Gruudan, when the new Hellfire was summoned, they would launch a night attack tonight. Croft was also confident, "If all goes well, then tomorrow morning, I will be able to have breakfast in that majestic human castle." ”
As Gurudan began to chant magic, the power of darkness gradually gathered in the magic array, and those human slaves who were relatively weak fell one after another under the erosion of the dark power.
In Gurudan's eyes, every time a human falls, a transparent figure will appear in his body, that is, his soul, under the constraints of the magic array, these human souls who have lost their bodies can neither return to the earth nor drift away with the wind, they can only be trapped in the magic array in a daze, waiting for the upcoming sacrifice.
