Chapter 12 Dangerous Decisions
Ying'er felt sad in her heart, she knew her physical condition better than anyone else. In recent times, Ying'er has often had headaches, dizziness, and a strong feeling of palpitations, and often felt pain, which is not uncomfortable in any organ or part, but from the depths of the soul. Ying'er didn't know how to describe it, as if the soul was a balloon that was filled with air, and this balloon was still inflating.
Ying'er was very scared of this, she already had a hunch that she might not be able to last a few days. Ying'er knew that it was caused by her own strange disease, and there was no way to cure this disease, she didn't want the young master to worry and suffer, so she secretly endured the pain and didn't say it.
She always had an expectation.
Maybe...... Maybe you'll be fine in a few days!
Ying'er didn't expect that instead of getting better, her condition worsened, and even made her faint. If it weren't for Mu Yun just being by her side, Ying'er might have lost her life.
Mu Yun handed over a special small backpack: "There are dozens of specially refined potions in here, in the future, when you get up and go to bed every day, you must drink and remember to drink the medicine! Although there is no way to cure it, I think there will be a little improvement." ”
Ying'er hung the bag on her body, and her little face showed an optimistic and innocent smile, "Although the potion is difficult to drink, Ying'er must be obedient and drink the medicine on time, with the young master's medicine, I will definitely get better and become stronger than before!"
Mu Yun pinched your girl's face and scolded: "Little fool!"
The body of the god of death, how can it be improved by a few ordinary potions? Ying'er didn't want to worry about herself.
Qin Yue pushed the door back, sweating profusely and hurriedly said, "It's broken! It's broken! It's a mess outside!"
"What's going on?"
"The whole town is going crazy, and the orcs are coming!"
Mu Yun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately followed Qin Yue out, Baisong Town was really chaotic, and the street was full of noisy people. Everyone was packing their bags and making a look of being ready to flee.
"War breaks out!"
"The orc army is coming!"
"Everyone, run for your life!"
Mu Yun hurriedly inquired and got a very terrible news from merchants, mercenaries, and residents. There is action on the Frost Plateau, and this war is almost the largest in a hundred years!
This time it's different from the wolf cavalry!
The orcs are on their way!
The losses of each city and town are not yet clear, but according to reliable sources, the town of Panshi, six hundred miles away, has completely fallen!
There was no mayor in Baisong Town, so Mu Yun hurriedly stepped forward to let the mercenaries and soldiers maintain order, prohibit robbery while taking advantage of the chaos, and at the same time settle the residents and let them return to their homes. The armed forces of the whole city were used to hold the city walls, recruit a large number of peasant soldiers, prepare to defend the city, send scouts, and gather information about the vicinity.
"How did Rock Town fall?"
"What are the frontline outposts for?"
One officer replied: "This time is different, the outpost seems to have been bought off with a lot of money. When the orcs headed south, the outpost did not warn, and Rock Town was attacked unprepared!"
Mu Yun was very surprised, because this was not like the style of the orc race!
It's serious.
Under the mighty impact of the orc army, the fringe areas will suffer a huge catastrophe, and even if they take refuge in the White City, they will not be able to ensure safety!
Although the orc clans are fighting on their own, like a ragtag of scattered sand, the combat effectiveness of the half-orc army cannot be ignored! Once the single half-orc clan exceeds 10,000, the first-line villages and towns will basically be abandoned!
"There's a letter!"
"It's from the north!"
A soldier sent a letterhead, and there was no mayor in Baisong Town, so Mu Yun received it instead.
Who will send a letter from the north.
In the signature office of the letter writer, the words "sleep in the wind" were written impressively. Sleeping in the Wind in Snow City, he has the title of Wind and Snow Sword Saint, and is known as the first martial arts powerhouse in the Silver Snow Domain. About two months ago, I left for the north on my own and have not been heard from since.
The movement on the Frost Plateau is huge, and Sleep in the Wind must have detected some information!
Mu Yun opened the letter, and the handwriting was wild and uninhibited, quite in the style of sleeping in the wind. It specifically tells about the changes observed in the half-orc race in the frost plateau in the past two months, in fact, the half-orc race is not as poor and weak as imagined.
Although every year, thousands of half-orcs are hungry, naked, with wooden sticks and stones, running to the Terran towns to grab food and survival resources.
These are just small tribes with no strength!
The famous eight clans, through grazing and hunting, occupy the fertile river area, and after hundreds of years of recuperation, the population size generally reaches hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people.
It's like a bomb!
The Fertile Moon Plain, where the Terrans live, has been seriously threatened!
The orcs are all soldiers, and if a war is started, the Fertile Moon Plain will definitely be greatly impacted.
Two or three weeks ago, the eight major tribes made a move, and a large number of orcs gathered and marched to the south. Judging from the speed and neatness of the army's assembly, it is not difficult to see that the orcs have been preparing for the south for a long time, and the wolf cavalry incident is a fuse!
What's even more terrifying!
Wind in the sleep detected that the eight major clans were trying to make contact, preparing to form an alliance!
Mu Yun gasped.
The orcs will be suppressed by the human race, the main reason is internal instability, they fight and kill each other all year round, if the eight clans are united, it will be a force that is enough to have an impact on the Northland Federation!
When the aggressive trend is formed, it will immediately cause a chain reaction, and countless small clans and small tribes will definitely follow the general trend, join the great turmoil, and strive to snatch and loot some more Terran wealth and resources in the war!
Mu Yun continued to read.
Outside the Eight Great Clans, Feng Zhongmian discovered an unknown half-orc clan!
Mu Yun doesn't have to guess, this mostly refers to the "Song of Hell" clan.
This clan's power even surpassed that of the Eight Great Clans, but it tried to obstruct the Southern Expedition several times, and put on an attitude that it did not support attacking the Terrans.
Is this weird?
This incident was entirely caused by the Song of Hell, and since the Song of Hell did not advocate attacking, why did it let Gehr come?
The wolf cavalry remained for more than a month, and no reinforcements appeared. Mu Yun had long suspected that the "Song of Hell" was indecisive, or that the will could not be unified. After Gehr failed to capture the town and Liu Rufeng was killed, the opposition had the upper hand, and Hell Song made the decision not to fight.
Gehr killed himself in battle, provoking the wars of other orc clans.
Mu Yun opened the drawer and took out a rough piece of parchment from it.
This is the celebration banquet of Mu Yun's defeat of the wolf cavalry, and on the way back that night, he accidentally got an invitation letter. The Hell Song clan invited Mu Yun to be a guest, and the letter writer made it clear that this was a normal and friendly invitation, and gambling on the honor of Hell Song would not hurt any friendly guests.
The name of the inscription - "Grom - Song of Hell".
This is again a descendant of the "King of the Hammer"!
Mu Yun didn't take it seriously.
The promise of honor for the orcs may have some degree of viability. There is more than one tribe of orcs on the Frost Plateau, and the Frost Plateau itself is a place full of dangers. Mu Yun won't be fed and fine, because the orcs will venture into a desolate area where no one is left with a letter.
The paper is turned over.
On the back is a map of the plateau.
Mu Yun's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he fell into thought, about a few seconds.
"Call Meng Hu!"
"Yes"
Meng Hu came to the study.
Mu Yun asked, "How is the recovery from the injury?"
Meng Hu raised his eyebrows like paint and said, "This injury is a fart, it can be cured without two days! This battle has benefited a lot, and my true qi is about to break through to 30 stars!"
"That's good!"
Mu Yun kept his mouth shut, his brows slightly locked, as if he was weighing something.
Seeing this, Meng Hu thought that Mu Yun was worried about the matter when he learned about the orcs going south, so he immediately spoke: "The edge area is not safe now, why don't you just go to Snow City, the Snow Wolf Mercenary Headquarters is there!"
Mu Yun shook his head, and then handed the letter from Feng Zhongmian to Meng Hu and said: "There is an important piece of information, copy a few copies and give them to different people, and send them to Snow City by different routes, in short, it must be handed over to the lord, there must be no mistake!"
In the letter of sleeping in the wind, there are movements and numbers of orcs, which is very important military intelligence, and the targeted layout of the human race defense can greatly reduce the loss.
"What about you?"
"I have other ideas. ”
"What is it?"
"Take a trip to the Frost Plateau!"
Meng Hu's eyes bulged, and he was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Hey, you're kidding!"
Is the Frost Plateau a place where humans can go?
Mu Yun handed him the invitation letter for the Song of Hell, Meng Hu took it and glanced at it a few times, his expression gradually became solemn: "This is not more risky than the Demon Cave, if you go up, you may never come back!"
Mu Yun put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I know." ”
Mu Ying'er's physical condition is very bad, there are only three or four months left at most, if Mu Yun can't find another solution, she will still go to the frost plateau in the end, this sounds very crazy, when it is to save Ying'er, Mu Yun is willing to go crazy!
What's more, the situation is special now, judging from the situation, it seems that Hell Song doesn't want to start a war, if Mu Yun can give enough chips and benefits, he may be able to convince Hell Song to win over a strong team of teammates and contain the eight major clans.
War will not break out!
Mu Yun can take Ying'er and Qin Yue to live a peaceful life in the Silver Snow Region for a period of time.
In fact, the population density of the frost plateau is very small, and there is still a certain amount of safety and security with the ghost face around to protect it!
Meng Hu saw that Mu Yun had made up his mind, and suddenly laughed twice, "Then I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman!" I also want to go up to the Frost Plateau to see what the sky and night there, where the sunrise and sunset are, what is the difference between it and the Fertile Moon Plain!"
Mu Yun turned around and said, "You don't have to participate this time!"
"I, Meng Hu, have always been a person who sits on my word and deeds, and I am by no means a person who collects commissions but does not do things!" Meng Hu was resolute and said categorically, "That piece of treasure bone worth thousands of gold is enough to pay for this adventure! I am a mercenary, so I naturally have to abide by professional ethics!"
A smile hung on the corner of Mu Yun's mouth.
Meng Hu is a bloody man who is sincere and truthful.
Mu Yun is not a hypocritical person, although he has a powerful high-level corpse witch ghost face, but he lacks a strong guard, Meng Hu's true qi is close to 30 stars, and he is a master of a quasi-great martial artist. There is Meng Hu's personal protection, plus a powerful ghost face. As long as you don't get targeted by the orcs, you basically won't have to worry about your life.
"I'm going to prepare!"
Meng Hu went to prepare the equipment.
The maintenance work of Muyun Town was all handed over to the officers. On this trip to the Frost Plateau, Mu Yun didn't want to take his second daughter there, but he didn't worry about staying in the town, because there were half-orcs everywhere, who knew when Baisong Town would be breached!
Therefore, Mu Yun told the second daughter her thoughts.
When after a series of shocks.
Qin Yue quickly reacted, "Don't say it, such an interesting trip, if I miss it, I won't call it Qin Yue!"
After Ying'er learned about the situation, she secretly shed tears, she knew that Mu Yun would go to such a dangerous place, and most of the reasons were for her.
For this, Ying'er felt very guilty.
In order to help her, Mu Yun put herself in an extremely dangerous environment, which was the last thing Ying'er wanted to see. She would rather die than be hurt by Mu Yun!
Mu Ying'er is usually very well-behaved and obedient, but this time she was resolute and said that if she wanted to go, she would go together. Because his body was very unstable, he would lose his life at any time, and Mu Yun was adventuring in a vicious place, she was afraid that she would never see him again.
Mu Yun thought about it again and again and agreed.
Qin Yue is a 17-ring warlock, and she has some ability, Ying'er's physical condition is unstable, and Mu Yun is not at ease to be left alone in the town. In addition, when Ying'er's life is threatened, or when there are drastic emotional changes, she can burst out with extraordinary power, although it is very dangerous to the people around her, sometimes it can also make people save the day!
Meng Hu was ready, and the four of them set off in a low-key manner.
"Wait a minute, we'll prepare a gift for you!" Before Meng Hu left, he gave a purple and black vest and handed it to Mu Yun: "This represents the heart of the snow wolf mercenary!"
Mu Yun stroked his vest for a while, "This is made of torn demon skin?"
"Yes, not only can it keep out the cold, but the defense effect is also good!"
"Thank you!"
Mu Yun put the Ripping Demon Vest on his body, which was very tight and flexible, effectively resisting the cold. The Rending Demon Vest is soaked in potions, treated with spells, and processed. Although soft leather armor cannot withstand blunt or heavy weapons, it is effective against sharp weapons, especially arrows.
Wearing a Ripper vest inside.
Wearing a cotton robe outside.
There are enough talismans and potions, and prepare some Qicao Dan to serve as food, so that you can go!
Because of his special identity, Mu Yun's departure cannot attract attention, otherwise it will cause panic. In the evening, the four of them left the town in disguise and rode a group of well-fed majestic Xiyuan dragon scale horses, all the way to the north.
It's 240 kilometers from White Pine Town to Frost Plateau!
Although the stamina and physical strength of the horses are excellent, it also takes about 3 days to arrive, and within 100 kilometers you can still find a resting village or hunting camp, a house to provide overnight stays, and you can also feed the horses, and 100 kilometers away you need to eat and sleep in the open.
The journey is very long and very dangerous!
