Is there a king of orcs at all?

The problem is more terrible than the truth itself.

It has been eleven months since the Sidon centaurs invaded the Eastern Frontier Territory, and the main alliance of the Salsan Lords and the Radiant Knights was trapped in the Frontier Territory, and Patriarch Friedes lit the red smoke beacon, and it has been eleven months since the kingdoms responded to the call of war. Various forces have searched for the traces of the Orc King, either explicitly or covertly, but have never been able to get a clear result.

The kingdom's all-out wars consumed countless materials, the wealth accumulated by the lords shrank by half, and production and construction slowed down, affecting every family and everyone, whether he was a nobleman or a commoner, a subject or a free people. However, the reinforcements of all countries have been put in place, and they have to be sent like an arrow. At this time, it doesn't matter whether there is a king of orcs or not, anyway, they have already come, and if they don't fight, they have to fight. It would be a good thing not to have the Orc King, the scale of the war and the military pressure would be much smaller, and everyone would just help the Sassan Empire eliminate the Sidon Centaurs and expand the territory of the empire. After the war was over, the kings would privately negotiate compensation with the Sassan Empire.

In short, it should not involve the upper echelons of the Church, which would undermine the credibility of the Church, jeopardize the defense mechanism of the human kingdom, and lead to catastrophic consequences.

The struggle of interests between the kingdoms of humanity has always been constrained by the church, and the scale of the war is pitiful. For example, the war between the Sassangian Empire and the Three Southern Kingdoms was more like robbers and robbers. The Sassanian cavalry attacked the village of Duoduo, and the other side did not resist or kill, surrendered and did not kill, but only took the grain, farm tools, livestock, all metal parts, destroyed farmland and houses, and at most robbed some young women of outstanding appearance. Their purpose was to create refugees and create famine so that the barley could be sold for a good price. The knights of the Duoduo captured the Sassanian cavalry, but also tried not to injure the other party's life or cause disability, punished them with hard labor, and then extorted a large ransom from the lord of Sassan.

The tacit understanding between the two sides was based on the coordination mechanism of the Church, in which the exchange of prisoners, the collection of ransoms, and the sale and purchase of food and minerals were all mediated by priests. At the end of the day, the credibility of the Church for thousands of years has sustained the basic order of the human kingdom and ensured that the lieges would not be drawn into endless civil wars.

If the church loses credibility, who will formulate and oversee a new order to avoid internal friction in the human kingdom?

You know, orcs eat people, people eat orcs, there is no compromise between the two sides, only a cruel war to the death. If the human kingdom loses its axis, then everyone will wait for death!

Testil is able to dispel the feeling of being on his back. The Earl's gaze was as sharp as a sword, and he was not allowed to retreat and detour, and he could only respond positively.

400,000 Sidon centaur warriors raided thousands of miles and drove millions of orc slaves to infiltrate the territory of the Sassan Empire, and the Radiant Knights and the Sassan Lords were caught off guard.

However, the centaur army and the main force of Sasang held each other back, and did not penetrate deep into the hinterland of the empire and slaughter the people. However, the fact that the centaurs are less than a million in number need to occupy fertile land larger than the Sassanian Empire, which shows how bad their logistical production capacity is, and they can fight guerrilla warfare, and they will definitely not be able to support a full-scale war.

Testil is puzzled by the stupid actions of the centaurs and cannot find the king of the orcs. Now, the army of the Great Stone Fortress War Zone has gathered, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the East Pioneer War Zone are gearing up, and the food and grass of the Sidon centaurs are about to run out, and it is difficult for them not to die.

Once the crisis is resolved, all kinds of discordant voices will emerge. For example, some would say that the war was a Centaur suicide and that there was no orc king at all, and that Grand Master Tystiel lit the red smoke beacon to use the credibility of the church to gather the armies of the kingdoms to expand the territory of the Sassan Empire.

As for the urgency and correctness of Friedes' ignition of the red smoke beacon, who cares?

It is highly likely that this voice is coming from within the Church, as success and crisis are twins, and the power structure of the Church needs a new balance to cope with the tremendous impact of Testier's extraordinary exploits.

Testil was ready to be questioned and made corresponding arrangements in advance, but he never thought that the war had not yet been finally won, and the Earl of Golden-Eyed was the first to attack him.

No one wants to shake the credibility of the Church, but the doubts raised by the Earl of Goldeneye can represent the voices of almost all the secular lords except the Sassan Empire and the Kingdom of Neville. Sassan and Neville were the ones who benefited from the war, while the other kingdoms had considerable losses.

Since the credibility of the church cannot be shaken, there must be people within the church who bear the corresponding political consequences to quell external disputes.

There is no right or wrong in political games, only the pros and cons of the strong and the weak, and whoever questions Grand Master Testile will also have to bear the political consequences. The only political consequence of the ordinary lords daring to jump out and question Tystiel is that he is imprisoned by the Inquisition until he dies, and Tystiel has nothing to do.

Victor's cousin doesn't give up, and Testiel feels like he's going to be bad.

Can the king's questioning be the same as the plebeian's questioning?

At this time, there is no point in discussing whether the king of orcs exists. Testil had reason to believe that the Count of Golden-Eyed had interests in the Knights of Radiance, and deliberately blackmailed him with sensitive issues in exchange for bargaining chips.

Count Randall and Queen Rose are really one, judging from their past governance measures, Centaur Hills has long had plans to open up the Southern Continent, and what they want is nothing more than the strong support of the Church's divine power.

It is not unimportant to develop the southern continent and expand the strategic depth of the human kingdom. For the Radiant Knights, the time is not yet ripe to disperse their forces and take into account both the north and the south. Seeing that the territory of the Sassan Empire is about to double, the problem of Barcelius and Frederick will also surface. Without the full support of the Knights of Radiance, the Northern Empire is likely to split into two, and Iron Mountain is strong and Sasang is weak.

Testier, Frederick, Friedus, and Barcelius all tried to avoid an immediate political split in the Sassan Empire, but the voices from below were not easily suppressed. The Knights of Radiance and the Templars, once they split their forces, would send an unusual political signal to the lords and nobles of the Sassan Empire that they would inevitably elect the mighty Barcelius as their new leader.

However, when the ant tide swept through the Centaur Hills, the Knights of Radiance ignored the Yorks' pleas for help, and had offended the Queen of the Roses. At that time, the House of York and Auguste were infighting, and Sylvia's political power was weak, but now she and the Earl of Golden-Eye have completed the integration of the Kingdom of Cambys, and the political influence of the Divine Knights and Sun Elves has been released to the outside world. Testier now wants to fool the Golden-Eyed Earl, how can it be so easy.

The Golden-Eyed Count questioned that if Tystiel failed to deal with it, he would fall from the throne of the First Family of Paladins, and based on this, someone within the Radiant Knights might take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Testiel's heart was full of emotion, and his ice blue eyes flickered. Turnans didn't know what was going on, and when he saw Howard now, he knew he had hit something big.

Turnans, who was secretly excited, looked at his nose and nose, and put on an unfathomable appearance, saying that he knew everything, but he didn't say anything.

The legendary paladin pretended to understand here, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the room became more solemn.

Emperor Sasang was the least under pressure, and he broke his strange silence and asked, "Your Highness, I heard that you have communicated with Elder Bear Monster in the Giant Wood Forest?"

A bright light flashed in Testil's heart, and he secretly thought: His Highness Randall is known for his extraordinary wisdom, his high status and great influence, and his aggressiveness today is somewhat unreasonable. His anomaly had started since he left the Giant Wood Forest, could it be that he had found a serious problem in his interactions with the Elder Bearron?Sidon Centaur was also unusual...... Could it be a precursor to an unknown catastrophe?

"Cousin Victor, has that Elder Bear Monster awakened an ancient memory?" Testiel smiled calmly, but his eyes burned.

The Testier family is undoubtedly the most powerful family today, and there is no one. The paladins who master the power of magic are originally stronger than the knights, and the three golden paladins of the Tyster family all have legendary-level combat power, and they are also powerful tempest paladins.

Victor is not afraid of such a family, but there is no need to offend them with a tough attitude.

In fact, starting with Alystie Testier, the paladins of Testel have always been at the forefront of the fight against the orcs, and there have been no major mistakes. For this reason, Victor also admires them.

However, Victor was attacked by wizards twice, perhaps three times, and his conflict with Austin Buryatia was also influenced by wizards. The Shadow Knight reveals the existence of the Shadow Council to Victor, and no matter what his intentions are, Victor's attack is inseparable from the Shadow Council.

Looking deeper, Victor's soul binds the Alchemy Tower, and as the successor of the Alchemy Empire, he has been involved in the whirlpool of mysterious existences fighting against each other, and he can't get out. The Council of Shadows is inherited from the Council of the Chosen and can be traced back to the Mage Guild of the Alchemy Empire, who had a motive to attack Victor in order to obtain the Alchemy Tower.

However, the little baron was attacked by a wizard, the soul fire was extinguished, and the collapse of the will side was the cause of the birth of Victor and the activation of the Alchemy Tower. This is enough to show that the attackers suspected of being wizards of the Shadow Council have unwittingly become pawns of mysterious existence.

Sylvia told Victor very clearly that as long as the devil or evil god dared to descend on the material world, he would follow the laws of the world, transform into life forms, and become killable. This means that the means used by the mystical being must eventually materialize. For example, they intoxicated the Blood Sacrifice of the Chosen One, which led to a bloody war between the Pantheon and the Council of Mages, and for example, the archsorcerer Claire and his brother severely damaged the clergy of the Church, causing the Pope to lose power.

Only the means within the Tyrone world can be thwarted, but they will form a historical impact that cannot be changed.

The centaur raid on the Eastern Frontier was not the result of a mysterious existence's covert attack?

In particular, the Elder Bear mentions the Protospecies and the Eternal War, and these two messages point to a terrifying possibility:

What has become of the victors of the ancient beasts who have fought each other to seize power and seek eternal immortality? Do they now covet the souls of the direct descendants of Tyron Riel, the native humans?

Isn't the Blood Sacrifice of the Chosen One the sacrifice of the Chosen One to the devil with the soul of a human being, and finally activates the supreme creation of the ancient alchemists, the Lord of Radiance?

There is an inseparable connection between wizards and demons, and Trigoval restrains wizards and provides the Shadow Council with a soil for survival, and Testiel is Trigoval's backer.

It was a matter of life and death, and Victor no longer had to think about the political implications, nor did he have to take Howard's feelings into consideration, he only feared that the war would evolve in an unpredictable direction.

"Whatever the Elder Bear Monster said to me, I will discuss it with the church hierarchy at the right time. Victor retracted his mental strength, his eyes returned to normal, and said calmly.

The archbishop has a city, and I am also the top of the church...... Turnans admonished himself secretly, and glanced at Emperor Sassan by the way.

This guy wasn't a high-ranking member of the church, so he couldn't listen to Victor's narration of the bear's ancient secrets.

"I just want to know, if there is no Orc King, why would the Centaurs suddenly unite?" Victor looked around and said slowly, "Centaurs can fight well and are unmatched, and they are the most difficult orc race to tame. Even if there really was an army of the Orc King to the east of the Sidon Khanate, the centaurs would not have succumbed to the Orc King so quickly. ”

"Have you ever considered that there is a Centaur Great Khan among the centaurs?"

Tournans's eyes were half-closed, and he hummed in a nasal voice.

Howard ignored the bald head pretending to be deep, and said bluntly: "I have considered it, I have also investigated, and I have tried all kinds of means to find the centaur Great Khan." Cousin Victor, you have to trust Turnans's mental intuition, my personal investigation has no results, Tournans does not perceive the existence of the legendary centaurs. ”

He paused, then added, "Even if there were a new Great Khan among the centaurs, they wouldn't be united so quickly. Orogar didn't do it, and the new Centaur Great Khan couldn't do it. ”

"At the beginning, after we killed the Lord Maorogal, we camped in the valley for the night, and Turnans suddenly felt some kind of danger, and we withdrew our troops overnight, and after walking 1,000 kilometers, Turnans got rid of his instinct for danger. The valley was located near the eastern part of the Sidon Khanate, and we judged that the centaur's eastern neighbor had a legendary orc who was not inferior to Orogar, and it was most likely the Orc King. ”

Frederick said, "Your Highness Randall, the Great Stone Fortress is searching the east for the traces of the Orc King, but it has not yet been found...... However, the legendary orcs will not appear one after the other, and shortly after the death of Orogal, a new Centaur will not appear among the Sidon centaurs so soon. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you think a legendary orc is?" asked Victor lightly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the legendary orcs are the embodiment of the ancient beasts, and it is a trivial matter for them to master some of the powers of the ancient beasts, and Victor is afraid that the power of fate will be intertwined. Humans have great prophecy, will the ancient beasts transformed into pan-conscious gods sit idly by and watch the power of fate work against their descendants?

Victor didn't mean to explain further, stood up and said: "Cousin Howard has scouted the centaur army, Tournans has also scouted, and His Majesty Frederick must have exhausted all means....... but since I am here, I will also investigate it myself!"

He took out a purple-gold insignia with the stag coat of arms from his waist pocket and threw it on the table, saying, "This is a family token entrusted to me by His Majesty Friedrich, and until I have come to a definite conclusion, the main reinforcements of Cambis and Dordor will not attack the centaur camp." ”

Testiel nodded and said, "It's a matter of success or failure in the war, as it should be." Cousin Victor came to the conclusion that the armies of Cambis and Dordor were to be at my disposal. I swear in the name of the Most High Lord that I will never fall to the disadvantage of my allies. ”

Victor bowed his head and said, "As long as this war is won, I will never mention the matter of the orc king again." ”

Emperor Frederick also stood up and said, "I will be responsible for the torture of the centaur captives brought back by His Highness Randall. His Highness can sit by. ”

He almost admitted that there were wizards under him who knew the language of beasts, and Victor was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Next time, wait for me and Turnans to catch a few more powerful centaurs." ”

The bald paladin didn't nod or shake his head, and let out a very urban "um".
