Chapter 145: Pidero's War of Words (I)
In Pinto's tent, Piedro was confiscated of all his weapons and stood shirtless across from Pinto. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Behind Pinto, Sean stared at the dangerous enemy without blinking, and this time, instead of following his advice and continuing to tie up the captive, the nephew gave him dignity. Pinto's decision made Sean both proud and worried, after all, standing opposite was a six-armed Tetsuson of the Dulute family.
"Master Pinto, in the story of the ancestors, the Lanyan Demon Misu family and our Du Lutai six-armed Zhexian jointly called the 'Demon Martial Shuangying' of the Demon Clan, I don't know, does the glory of the Du Lutai family still exist today?"
Piedero's small, bea-green eyes twinkled, staring at Pinto's face, trying to read the message he wanted from his expression.
"Hmph! A piece of dirt that betrayed the clan is also worthy of staining the glory of the Du Lutai family?"
With a cold snort, a six-armed Tetsuxian, almost carved out of a pair of abrasives like Piedro, opened the curtain and walked in. He didn't look at Pidro, and bowed to Pinto.
"Xing Batu, Du Lutai has seen His Excellency the General!"
"Hahaha! Brother Xing Batu, you came just in time. Tell this brother of your clan about the glory of the Du Lutai family. ”
Pinto smiled at the usually unruly deputy commander, and his eyes showed an unconcealable playfulness.
"Your Excellency, as I said just now, there are no betrayers in the Du Lutai family, let alone admit that the troll with six arms is the brave and fearless Zhexian. ”
Xing Batu's nostrils were facing the sky when he spoke, and even the tuft of short whiskers on his chin was moving forward, and the arrogance exuding from his whole body was about to open the military tent.
"Betrayal?"
In the face of Xing Batu's accusation, Piedro had bruises on his forehead, his six big hands clenched into fists, and the crisp sound of the bones from the squeezing could be clearly heard even by the soldiers outside the military tent. He resisted the urge to step forward and strangle Xing Batu, suppressed the fire and said: "I don't know who taught you this way of looking at people with your nostrils, and I don't understand who gave you the right to evaluate the bereaved family, but I really want to tell you today, what is betrayal!"
Piedro didn't intend to give Xing Batu another chance to interject, he then said: "A thousand years ago, our ancestors gathered a large army and launched a holy war against mankind under the inspiration of the demon god. We hope that by fighting, we will help our gods to win, and we, the servants of the gods, will also be given the right to breathe freely under the stars. So, the Misu family, our Dulutai family, the Delabuga family, the Qimick family, and many, many unknown demon children, those men abandoned their families and children, holding high crude weapons, shouting the holy name of the demon god and rushing towards our enemies.
At the beginning of the war, our superior force made us invincible, and humanity was in danger of being caught between us and our allies, and our battle line quickly advanced, and humanity was forced to retreat to the northeastern alpine regions, where they were helped by the dwarves and relied on their superior equipment to stabilize the rout, but our doom began to fall.
From the Path of the Ancestors, our battle line stretched half a continent, and our warriors were like locusts in transit, eating everything we could, but we were saddened to find that in this land we enjoyed very little food, and we could not swallow much. So, slowly, our soldiers began to become weak, a soldier who can't even eat enough to eat, can't raise any fighting spirit, those beautiful hopes have long been left behind by hungry soldiers, no matter how motivated the generals are, they can no longer let the soldiers fight hard.
The holy war turned into a retreat half a year after the start, and the human beings who had accumulated enough strength began to counterattack, our great demon emperor left his clansmen behind, and was the first to run back to the path of the ancestors, and at the same time, the Du Lutai family received the task of breaking off, if you want to ask the reason, then I think it may be that the stomach of the green-skinned troll is better!"
Piedro smiled hesitantly, his cold gaze swept over everyone's faces, Pinto's eyes flickered, his cheeks turned white, and he bowed his head silently. Xing Batu, who was standing beside Pinto, rubbed his hands unnaturally, his eyes staring at his toes without saying a word. Only Sean's face remained unchanged and he opened his mouth to pick up the topic that Piedro had not finished.
"Zhexian, you're right, the Demon Emperor who gave this order back then was my Lanyan Demon Clan, this matter was recorded in the family code, for so many years, the Misu family has been guilty, so, no matter in the political or business circles, as long as the matter involves the Du Lutai family, we will tolerate three points and help three points, as a compensation for the Du Lutai family for the demon clan back then.
However, as a military decision, there was no doubt that it was the most correct decision that the Demon Emperor could have made back then. In order to preserve the whole, it is necessary to make partial sacrifices, and I think the sages of the Du Lutai family will not fail to teach you this truth. ”
"Of course I understand such a superficial truth, but what I don't understand is why only the two thousand women and children of the Du Lutai family stayed behind to resist the pursuers, and what I don't understand is why we didn't die under the sword and axe of human beings, but we can no longer find that broad ancestral road. Pinto Misu, and you, the arrogant Xing Batu Du Lutai. Can any of you tell me why?"
Pidero's questioning is like throwing a boulder in a flat lake, setting off a monstrous wave in the listener's heart. Pinto turned around and looked blankly at his most trusted uncle, hoping to get an answer from him, but Xing Batu no longer dared to look at Piedro's angry face, he grabbed his hair in pain and buried his face deep in his chest. Sean's lips twitched a few times and he opened his mouth, but he didn't utter a single syllable.
"Why? Nobody knows why, or do you not dare to say it at all?"
Like a victorious general, Piedro swept over everyone's faces again with a cold gaze, and it was not until he landed his gaze on the tip of Old Sean's nose that the great wise man let out a long sigh and stepped out from behind Pinto.
"Pidero, when such a decision was made, it was indeed the ancestors of the Misu family and your Dulutai family who were sorry for you bereaved families. If you dig into the reason, it can be boiled down to two words, and that is 'fear'!"
Sean's voice was very low, but it sounded like thunder in Pinto's ears, just this morning, Uncle Sean was still telling himself where the pride of the demons was, but now he said that the demons would also be afraid.
Sean smiled bitterly and patted Pinto's shoulder, then continued, "Back then, the ancestors were indeed scared. But even if they were afraid, they still made the right decision. What Piedro said just now was right, under the circumstances at that time, our soldiers had no fighting spirit, and even if they were sent as the death squads of the queen of the palace, they could only be slaughtered by the human coalition forces. However, we know that most of the human race are Illuminists, they believe in kindness and kindness, so they will not kill those old and weak women and children, and the facts have also proved that more than 2,000 people of the Du Lutai family have not been killed, but they have become a burden to the human race, effectively delaying the pace of human pursuit. ”
"Hmph! What a wise decision!"
Sean was not annoyed by Pidero's taunts, he continued to say flatly: "As for closing the Ancestral Path, that was a decision made only as a last resort. More than half a year of conquest has hollowed out the foundation of the demon race, if the human race is chased to our capital at that time, the demon race may have to be wiped out in this world. ”
"So, everyone standing here has no right to say betrayal, and if you have to say betrayal, it is also your betrayal of your oath to never leave, and to abandon us poor creatures under the butcher's knife of humanity. Do you know that we were once like cattle and sheep, kept in captivity by humans in designated mountains and forests, and children were kept in cages like animals for fun, but even so, we are truly grateful for the kindness of humans, at least they did not chop us up and use us as fertilizer to raise flowers, and now, we have gained the right to coexist with them, we are well fed, warmly clothed, have houses above our heads, and have good crops under our feet. My dear people, I wonder if you are here again at this time to reignite the flames of war that have been extinguished for so many years, or to take us poor people home?"
Piedero's loud questioning finally angered Xing Batu, who pointed at Piedro and shouted, "The favor given to you by humans has made you forget your ancestors. ”
Furious, Pidero raised his foot, kicked Xing Batu on the wrist, and fought back even louder: "I only remember the crying of those abandoned children, and I still remember that just now, you bastard did not allow me to tainish the glory of the Dulutai family, and now you are talking to me about the ancestors. ”
Xing Batu didn't expect that Pidero, a prisoner under the ranks, would dare to hurt people, he didn't react for a while, his wrist bones were kicked and shattered by Pidero's steel combat boots, he howled and squatted on the ground, and the guards outside rushed in, pressed Piderot to the ground, re-tied it, and then helped the injured Xing Batu out and found a military doctor to bandage and treat.
Pinto didn't let Piedro loosen his ties anymore, he played with a dark green jade, it is said that this is one of the trophies that the Demon Emperor gave to the Misu family back then, such a beautiful ornament, only humans can create it!
"Your question, perhaps I will tell you, but before that, as my captive, you must first answer my question. ”
Pinto calmed down a bit and began his interrogation.
"Late at night, you sneaked down from such a high place alone, didn't you just want to discuss right and wrong with your people?"
"Hehe! What's the point of discussing this now? Just vent the sulking in my heart. I'm here, I just don't want to see the defeat of the demons again. ”
"Oh?"
Pinto asked curiously: "It seems that you are not optimistic about our army of hundreds of thousands, tell me what you think, I would like to know what else humans can do to stop my attack." ”
Piedro twitched his bound arm and said it bluntly.
"You have no idea what has happened in the past thousand years, so you dare to pull the demon warriors into the battlefield again.
After all these years, the gods have not come to the world, hehe! If my guess is correct, the Demon God has never revealed anything to my people!"
Pinto was noncommittal about Piedro's speculation and left him to continue.
"Humanity has gone through the end of the Dharma era, but their gods have not abandoned them, and their devout worship of the gods has finally paid off, and their magical abilities have been greatly improved in recent years. It is said that the Holy Rank Magister is no longer a top-notch existence, and the Dharma God who can launch forbidden spells has begun to appear in the human world again.
Such a high-end power balances the forces on the mainland, so mankind has entered a rare period of peaceful development, if someone at this time to snatch their hard-won fruits, then they will be attacked by all mankind, which is the first reason I said, they are powerful and unprecedentedly united.
Second, this peace has spread across the continent, and you may find it hard to imagine that orcs and humans have begun a new era of symbiotic development through the bonds of commerce that have fought their enemies for thousands of years. The furs and cores of the orcs came out of Cape Rambet, crossed the desolate plains, crossed the entire human homeland, and were exported to the shores of the South China Sea. You can't imagine that the pearls, corals, fish and shrimp of the sea tribe have also become the ornaments in the halls of the nobles and the delicacies on the table. What is even more unimaginable is that less than a hundred miles away from that mountain cliff lived more than 700 families of dignitaries and dignitaries of the three major races of the human race, the beast race, and the sea tribe, who drank and talked happily in a tavern every day and twisted their waists on a dance floor. Even, after a few indulgences, their next generation has become difficult to distinguish between races in terms of blood. Do you dare to imagine what you and your army of 100,000 will face after your soldiers cut off the heads of the noblewomen of the Sea Clan and the Orcs?"
