Chapter 170: Intelligence Tactics with Orcs
Regardless of whether the Baroque's words played a role or not, the secret actions of the battle shamans were indeed gone. Ruling out this threat, Baroque met with Buclay, who had come to take refuge.
The second prince was a little haggard, but the etiquette was still perfect. It's just that the people who saw him salute still sighed in their hearts that they were young. They are all young people, why does the orc on the other side have such prestige and power?
Having spent so much time in the orc army, Bucred felt the influence of the Baroque among the orcs. Any orc, whether he is a centurion, a thousand-torn, or even a thousand-torn, or even the most ordinary warrior, has a heartfelt reverence and even worship for the Baroque. It was as if he had transcended the identity of an orc and become a special being. Bucred has only seen this situation once............ When he was a child, His Majesty the Pope visited the royal capital of Dulon, and at that time it was an empty alley, and all the citizens of Dulong knelt before the Pope with fanaticism and reverence, and His Majesty Antony, who followed the Pope, was almost ignored. Bukred knew that at that time, if the Pope said a casual word, he would be able to deprive the emperor of his rights, and no one in the city would have any objection, and even become an accomplice. That's the power of faith, and the horror of it. There is no doubt that the Baroque in front of him is the object of worship of the orcs!
Shouldn't the orcs worship the spirits of their ancestors?Why do they worship a living kindred?Bucred had a little question, and it dissipated............ Orcs have never been incomprehensible to humans, who knows what they think?
"Your Excellency, Baroque Shaman, thank you for your reception, and thank you to the Frostwolf Tribe for taking me in, so that I can not be killed by the traitors who stole the country. For this I will dedicate you some small gifts, I hope you will enjoy it. "Bukred is shrewd enough, even after staying here for so long, and having come into contact with an unknown number of battle shamans, he has not seen the main master. Didn't even take out the wealth in his storage ring.
With a slight wave of his hand, a pile of hides and slate appeared at Buclay's feet. Looking at the dark color of the skins and the mutilated stone slabs, you can see how old they are. Keep your head up. Seeing the surprise on Baroque's face, Buckred knew that his gift had done a very good job!
"Your Highness, Bukred, although I am glad to see the Ancestral Scrolls that have been plundered by your humans, it also reminds me of the countless people who were slaughtered by you in the past. And you have come to seek refuge from our orcs today, what kind of mood do you think I should have with you?" Baroque gently picked up a scroll of animal skins. Slowly unfolding, it is a scroll of shamanic sacrifices, like a historical biography of mankind, recording what happened in a certain era in the past. The language used is the lingua franca of the mainland, and it must not be very recent, at least a hundred years. But to the orcs, it is still a treasure, because it represents the inheritance of their race.
"That's what humans did in the past, and I've never set foot in the northern tundra, even though I have some orc slaves around me. But I can swear in the name of God that I have not killed a single orc. Bucred said with a serious expression, and at the same time secretly lucked in his heart...... Fortunately, he really didn't kill an orc, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with if he angered the guy in front of him.
Unbeknownst to Baroque, as the tribe grew in population, he gained more and more power of faith and became more and more powerful. Even Muru's closest companions, such as Muru, became restrained and awe-inspiring in front of him. Not the awe of fear, but the awe of mad worship............ This is the power of faith, but the Baroque at this time could not experience it at all. For the alien Bukred. was even more moved by Baroque's joy and anger, and hurriedly explained, for fear of arousing his dissatisfaction.
"Well, yes. I would also like to thank His Highness Buckred for returning the relics of our ancestors to us. The two can't be confused, so Your Highness, can you tell us about your plans?"
"To live, I just want to be able to live. Bukred's expression was gloomy: "Although Fronnaso was killed because he plotted against his father and assassinated the emperor, I know that Vitasia will not let me go." Maybe she will still care about family affection and soft-heartedness, but the saint Evangeline behind her is a woman with a cold heart. She wouldn't let the slightest danger remain to threaten her puppet Vitasia. This woman is only in her twenties, but her cunning and ruthlessness have long been spread throughout the Holy See, even in our secular countries, and if I remain in even any human kingdom, she will find and kill me. And only the alien she can't reach in. ”
"Oh, Holy Lady Evangeline?" Baroque's mind immediately appeared with the woman he saw through the eyes of the spirit beast. It is really interesting that such a holy, beautiful, noble woman has great ambitions, and she is also her current enemy, the direct opponent of next year's war.
"I can take you in, and you can move around the Frostwolf Clan's place except for a few forbidden places. But you also know that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and I hope you can do something for us, of course. I won't embarrass you. Baroque gave Bucred a reassuring reply.
Of course, knowing that the orcs would make conditions, Bukred nodded without hesitation: "You say, I'm listening." “
"I know that you fled from Emperor Dulong in a hurry, and there are only more than a thousand people with you. But there must be many scattered among the people, and there are definitely many who are still loyal to you, and I hope you will send someone to contact them, I need information, any information about the movement of the Holy Maiden and the Adria army. Even for the sake of Liwei, Adria's army will definitely invade the grassland of the horse farm next year. In order to be able to repel them, and for you to be able to stay in our tribe with peace of mind, you need to do your part. ”
"No problem, I'll ask my men to send you a copy of the information they've gathered every once in a while. "Bucred is in the horse farm, and his dark lines within the empire have not been broken, and a lot of news is still coming. This also made Baroque suddenly realize...... They were not as well guarded at the border as they thought, at least not that Bukred's men had crossed the line in and out of the Ranmad steppes.
"Actually, there is only one road, the river that flows through the grassland. Buclay's explanation made the Baroque suddenly realize that there was a river in the grassland of the horse farm from the mountains in the territory of Audria, flowing backwards into the horse farm, and finally into the big lake next to the place where they were stationed at the moment, everyone knew that the orcs were afraid of rivers and lakes, because they couldn't swim, so they subconsciously avoided the river, and Bukred's people rowed a small boat into the horse farm at night, almost all the way downstream.
Baroque and Cockred talk in secret until late at night, and are satisfied with each other. Although he knew that Bukred's ambitions for Audria had not subsided, Baroque was not prepared to say it until the orcs showed their strong enough power. Both of them were cunning fellows, and they tacitly guarded the thing that no one mentioned--only next year, when he defeated Audria's army and showed Bukred the power of the orcs, he would make up his mind to return home and seize the throne with the help of the orcs. Of course, before that, you first need to pass the level of the Apocalypse Church. However, Bucred has already been prepared, and his people have already gone to secretly contact the people of the Holy See Senate, hoping to get the support of those slippery old politicians!
This is dirty politics, as long as the power of political opponents can be weakened, they don't care what kind of people they cooperate with, even if it is a life and death feud. This is true of Buclay, of the patriarchs of the Holy See, and of the Holy Maiden Evangeline. Orc ...... There is only one Baroque. He's in pursuit of powerful power, and for that he can work with anyone.
While using the Bukred intelligence network, the Baroque also began to develop its own source of information. There are many orc slaves in the human kingdom, and some even have a high status around their masters, they are not all dead set on humans, and they can have a stable source of information if they need to develop some. The only thing that gave Baroque a headache was this kind of intrigues, and the orcs' lackluster brains were too stupid to find the right person. Almost white-headed, he asked Angray and a few more clever guys to do it for the time being, but Angray directly stated...... It's okay to do it for the time being, but if you let him do this for the rest of his life, just kill him!
Baroque racked his brains before he suddenly thought of a group of people............ The rotten shamans of the Valley of Miracles, who are so fond of trickery, might be able to do such a thing. Of course, before that, they need to be convinced, so that they do not have two hearts. It seems that I really need to go to the Valley of Miracles and talk to the White High Priest!
In the next period of time, Baroque stayed in the grassland of the horse farm, he did not interfere in the training of the army by Muru and others, they did a good job, the hungry wolf battle formation and ranger tactics have gradually become proficient, only the baptism of war remains. Baroque was a little proud of this, because this was the battle formation he had created!
Bukred was also allowed to watch the orcs drill in battle, and although his expression was extremely shocked, the words he said made Baroque feel a little gloomy!
"The gods are above, and the orcs can also use the battle array, although it is a little worse than the most ordinary human battle array, but this is definitely a feat, Baroque Shaman, your wisdom is amazing, I am more confident in next year's war. ”
It was beautifully spoken, but Baroque heard a hint of disapproval beyond shock. Why? Obviously the Hungry Wolf Formation has already fought against the Crown Bucks and persevered, why does Bucred still disagree?
Baroque did not consult Buclay, and although he was a traitor to humanity at this time, there were some things that he would not say, like the most shameless and cowardly shamanic priest, if captured by humans, would rather die than reveal any information about the shaman's ways. This is the bottom line of every race, the bottom line of survival. (To be continued.) )
