Chapter I: The Situation

In the north of the Eslar Continent, there is a vast desert prairie, which is the South Talon Savannah. As a result, the South Talon savannah, and the hilly areas south of it that spread all the way to the Southern Silent Forest, are ideal for life due to their pleasant climate and abundance.

Once upon a time, the Southern Talon savannah was the homeland of the orcs, and the able-bodied orcs occupied the fertile pastures here, forming large and small tribes, and from time to time they went south to raid humans, even the Clay tribes, who had lived on horseback for generations, had to migrate year by year to avoid the orcs.

Two hundred years ago, Fernando I, the founder of the Holy Empire, led a human army that defeated the undead legions and waged war against the orcs here, and the war soon spread throughout the South Talon grasslands. Under the heroic iron cavalry charge of the Royal Knights, even the strongest orcs could only retreat, and were finally driven out of the South Tarren Savannah by the human army, and had to flee north through the Hengduan Mountains to the North Tarren Savannah.

After the war, Fernando I built a fortified fortress at the Grand Canyon of Hengduan, which connects the northern and southern Tarren steppes, and deployed heavy troops to prevent the Orcs from counterattacking. This is an extremely strong fortress, and even the invincible Fernando I, when he stood on the walls of the fortress and looked to the north, he had to say with emotion: "I'm afraid only the wrath of Thor can crush this place, right?"

Hence the name of the fortress, which is the most important defense line of mankind in the north - "Thor's Fortress".

The north of the fortress is the North Talon Prairie, although the name here is only one word different from the South Talon Prairie, but because it is located on both sides of the "Hengduan Mountains", the North Talon Prairie is perennially attacked by the cold current of the frozen plateau, the climate is cold, the growth of all things is slow, and the orcs have to live in water and grass every year, and the living environment is very bad.

The orcs who have lost their homeland are always thinking about conquering the Thor Fortress and opening the passage to the south, so every 20 years or so, when the next generation of orcs reaches adulthood, the orcs will raise their strength and launch an attack on the Thor's Fortress.

Although the orcs are physically strong, brave and good at fighting, but they are not human opponents at all in other aspects, whether it is territory and property, weapon production, army quality or military command, etc., orcs are far inferior to humans, coupled with the steep terrain of Thor's fortress, the orc army is always unable to break the defense of the human army, can only helplessly leave thousands of corpses, retreat from the army, and then wait for more than ten years, the next generation slowly grows up again.

In the northwestern part of the Northern Tallon savannah, there is a huge castle - "Castle Beamon", this orc city named after the legendary ancient giant beast "Beamon", where Andreas, the beast emperor who ruled the entire orc tribe, lived.

Fifty years ago, after the Night Wolf Clan, which rules the Orc Clan, failed to attack the Thor Fortress with all its might, Andreas's Brute Bear Clan took the opportunity to rise up and launched a war for the Beast Emperor, slaughtering the Wolf Clan's people, and Andreas's father became the new Beast Emperor.

"Your Majesty the Beast Emperor. An old voice came from outside the palace, and soon, an old orc dressed in white made of beast fur walked in slowly, he was the prophet Evan, who was behind the rise of the Barbarian Bear Clan.

Fifty years ago, it was he who advised the father of the Beast Emperor Andreas to eradicate the Wolf Clan in one fell swoop. After the Beast Emperor Andreas ascended the throne, he respected the prophet Evan even more, adding the title of prophet to him, and changing his name to "Evan - Prophet", making his status among the beasts equivalent to the status of the royal chief magician in a human country.

The garment worn by the prophet Evan was made from the fur of a strong white bear, the trophy of the Beast Emperor Andreas's first hunt with his father, symbolizing his status among the orcs. He wore a necklace made of the skull of an unknown beast around his wizened neck, and in his hand he held a totem made of the thigh bone of some kind of huge beast, carved with an abstract drawing of a roaring black bear and a large number of indistinguishable words.

Andreas, the mighty beast emperor, sat on a stone chair covered with black bear fur, and he looked at his most trusted prophet, Evan, and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

As soon as the prophet Evan sat down, he impatiently said to the Beast Emperor Andreas, "Our allies have brought new news. Two months ago, at the Athletic Tournament in Fernando, a team of adventurers defeated a team of the Royal Knights. ”

"What?" Andreas, the Beast Emperor who heard the news for the first time, couldn't help but stand up. He waved his arm excitedly, drawing a few phantoms in the air, and the sharp sound of breaking the air reverberated in the palace, accompanied by the sound of "plop, plop", and several fist prints suddenly appeared on the boulder wall not far away.

"I'm so excited," the Beast Emperor Andreas roared loudly, "A royal knight order with an undefeated record for two hundred years has also failed one day, it seems that everything we have been quietly planning for years is about to be implemented, and the day when our brute bear clan will return to their homeland is not far off!"

Prophet Evan smiled and looked at the excited Beast Emperor Andreas. He has always regarded the Beast Emperor Andreas as his own child, watching him grow day by day, becoming the Beast Emperor and possessing powerful force, and today, the Orc allies have brought this exciting news, which means that his years of hard work will finally be rewarded.

"Your Majesty the Beast Emperor, we still need a little time. I think it's time for us to start the second step of the plan. The prophet Evan reminded the beast emperor Andreas, "It's time to meet our human friends." ”

"He must have come with you, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. He was right outside the palace. ”

"Alright, bring our friends to meet me. The Beast Emperor gave the order in a majestic voice.

Soon, a human shrouded in a black cloak walked into the palace under the guidance of an elite Blood Guard with a blood-colored feather on his head, a naked upper body, and a black giant axe.

The Beast Emperor waved his hand, and the fifty elite blood guards stationed in the palace retreated together.

When there were only three people left in the palace, the human who was shrouded in a black cloak suddenly lifted the cloak covering his head, and he turned out to be the leader of the rebels in Seker, who had been missing since escaping the Holy Knights in Giethoorn.

Senat's face was full of confidence, he had been under house arrest by them in an ostensibly polite manner since he used the "Time and Space Gate" scroll to teleport to this northern city half a year ago and met the Beast Emperor and his prophet Evan. However, although the Senate is here, the power at his disposal is active, bringing him all kinds of information about what is happening in the human kingdom.

When Senat first learned of the defeat of the Royal Knights at the Royal Athletic Tournament last night, he immediately realized the importance of this news sent by his men through special channels.

When Senat learned that the Beast Emperor was going to see him, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and it seemed that he must have impressed the Beast Emperor this time.

"I suppose His Majesty the Beast Emperor should have thought through my last proposal, right?"
