Chapter 45: The Breath of the Demon God
The next day, on the other side of the valley, an army of orcs stood like an ocean at the entrance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Commander, according to the information sent back by the scouts, the terrain ahead is extremely rocky, where our cavalry will lose seventy percent of their combat effectiveness, and the sides of this valley are very suitable for ambushes. ā
Otto stood on a rock and looked ahead, an adjutant reporting news from the scouts for him.
"Why are there only so many people left, I remember sending out a scout team of a hundred people. ā
Otto turned his head and saw the Storm Wolf scouts who had just returned to replenish, and after finding that there were only thirteen scouts, he suddenly turned around and grabbed the adjutant's shoulder, and the fangs of his jaw flashed with cold light, which made the orc adjutant almost frightened, and explained tremblingly: "The people who came back said that they were besieged by the elven scouts, and only a few of them escaped. ā
"A group of rice buckets, as glorious orcs, fled in battle, took their mounts back, and rushed them all to feed the monsters!"
Otto let go of his iron pincer-like palm and roared angrily, the adjutant snorted, and the fine iron armor on his shoulders had dents in Otto's fingers, and it was estimated that the bones inside had been broken off, and a green face was a little distorted, and after receiving the order, he ran to the thirteen unlucky orcs and poured his anger on them.
"Otto, Otto, don't you really think that the weak elves dare to ambush in front of you? ā
A disgusting voice sounded behind him, and Otto could imagine the disgusting man's mocking face without looking back, and finally resisted the urge to beat him again, and Otto threw away a trace of worry in his heart.
"Forty thousand miscellaneous soldiers, even if there is an ambush, Minay, the night has passed, I hope your spell has found the real murderer who put Lord Stolas into a deep sleep, tell me if it is Hoka!"
Otto was very disdainful of the elven army of 40,000 people, he didn't think that these little guys who lived in the forest and grew up listening to the elders' words could have any combat effectiveness, he always thought that the orcs were the strongest race and should rule this continent, rather than being an enemy of a self-proclaimed noble elven race for hundreds of years, so he persuaded the chieftain of the orcs to join forces with the Demon God Cult to provoke a war, and then personally led 100,000 orc warriors to attack the elves' hometown, the Forest of Life.
He fought all the way from the orc hometown of Osinium, and the towns he encountered on the way were slaughtered by him one by one, regardless of race, and the only Blackwood Castle that was a little difficult for him only caused him to lose 4,000 orc soldiers, which was also the foundation of his self-confidence.
The orc army killed people along the way were sacrificed to the demon god Stolas, Storas's strength fascinated Otto, even if the demon god cultist Minai Fox fake tiger power disrespected him, he silently endured, not long ago Stolas finally repaid him, so that his strength suddenly increased from level 44 to level 47.
Things have been going well, and their army is only a small city on the edge of the Gray Eagle Kingdom from Taiyang City on the outskirts of the Forest of Life, and according to the information sent back by the scouts, this town can be annihilated without much effort, so Otto did not rush to attack, but stationed in Blackwood Fort on the spot for the orcs to rest.
But one day Minay suddenly found him with a gloomy face, and told him that Stolas's breath was gone, and in a fit of rage, he went to Stolas's temple, only to find only traces of a battle, and the scorching breath in the air that had not yet dissipated.
Otto almost instantly thought of Hoka, who had the title of King Taiyang, and only a powerful legendary powerhouse like Hoka could defeat an awakened demon god, Otto was angry and directly ordered the army to go to Kirtland overnight, he wanted to destroy Hoka's army, let Hoka feel the strength of the orcs, and let him know that even a legendary powerhouse could not defeat an army of 100,000.
However, just last night, Minay told him that it was someone else who had put Stolas to sleep, and when Otto pressed him, Minay said that he had not yet determined who it was.
Thinking of the situation last night, the tyrannical emotion in Otto's heart surged up again, and his brass bell-like eyes became red, staring at the thin figure shrouded in black robes.
"Hey man, don't get excited, I already know who it is. Minai stretched out her hands and took two steps back, as if remembering an unpleasant memory, and her voice became a little stiff.
Before Otto could get impatient, Minay unleashed a mirror image that blurred for a moment and then took on the form of a human teenager.
When Otto saw this face, two white vapors came out of his nose, and his huge body rushed in front of Minay, tearing his black robe to pieces, and under the black robe was a thin middle-aged human man, with a pale complexion and a dry bone, and a bunch of abnormal dark green eyes, which were flashing with a panicked look at this time.
"Are you fooling my brain? Hmm? You tell me that this human, who is at most twenty years old, can defeat Lord Slatos!"
Otto grabbed Minay by the neck and lifted him to a parallel height to himself, snarling at him and squirting saliva in Minay's face.
I don't know if it was because I was out of breath or because I was watched by orcs from all directions, Mina's pale face turned red, powerful magic fluctuations emerged, and purple-black magic ropes stretched out from Mina's hand, tying Otto into a dumpling in the blink of an eye, and then a black elemental palm appeared in the air and took Otto's hand down.
"Smack!"
Minai was stunned to see the magic ropes that were tough enough to compare with a hundred years of silk break under Otto's power, and after Otto broke free, he walked towards Minai with red eyes, Minai gritted his teeth and crushed a orb.
Taking advantage of Otto's attack on the magical barrier around him, Minai gulped in a big gulp of air, and then shouted in a very angry and dejected voice, "Damn, can't you wait for me to finish, it's not him who defeated Master Stolas, it's what he has in his hand!"
Boom!
Another punch hit the barrier, and a crack appeared in the talisman that cost Minai most of his wealth, leaving Minay's heart ache, and the good news was that Otto finally stopped.
Otto looked back at the mirror image in the air again, and with a thought, the mirror image began to scale, revealing the full face of the human, exactly what Leo had been on the day of the defeat of Stolas.
"That silver nail in his hand! it's something from the Holy Empire, and it's that silver nail that makes Lord Stolas fall into a state of weakness before he can be defeated by Hoka!"
Minay pointed to the shining silver nail in Leo's hand and said loudly, Otto frowned and looked at it for a long time, and a message suddenly flashed through his mind.
"I remembered that this man was the lord of Kirtland, and he seemed to be Leo Kinus, and his men had brought his portrait some time ago. ā
Otto spoke in a deep voice, making Minai slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that this young man's identity would be the lord of the land under their feet, but then a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, and he spoke.
"It's better if he's a lord, the elves rely on his city for defense, and he will definitely be there when the time comes, Lord Stolas has left the breath of a demon god on his body, as long as we bring his body to the temple to sacrifice, Lord Stolas will be able to revive again. ā
"In that case, I'll let the army go now. ā
After listening to Minay's words, Otto looked up at the sky, and then called his subordinates to order, and the army immediately restored order and marched towards the valley ahead.
On the other side, the only exit to Kirtlan was occupied by elven soldiers, who were waiting for Hoka's orders, but if you looked closely, you would find that there were only about 30,000 infantry.
Dressed in military uniform, Hoka stood at the front of the soldiers on a horse, flanked by No. 76 and Firig, who were about to fight a bloody battle in the Covenant.
Leo was sent by Hoka to command the archers and mages with Anna, and they were now hiding behind boulders on both sides of the valley, observing the situation below through the cracks.
"Will the plan succeed? Orcs are really that upright?"
Leo frowned slightly when he saw Hoka's calm face and thought of the plan he had said last night, although everything was said perfectly, he felt something inexplicably wrong in his heart.
"Don't worry, Captain Hoka has been dealing with orcs for hundreds of years, and he must know more about orcs than we do. At this time, Anna carried a longbow with exquisite workmanship, and Leo also knew that Anna was the leader of the archer regiment, and her archery skills were few opponents in the elves.
"When I was still in the royal capital, I heard of this orc named Otto, who led a hundred thousand vanguard troops all the way from his hometown in the west, and had already wiped out more than a dozen cities in the city before Blackwood Castle, not like a brave and unscrupulous general. ā
Yan Shenchou, who was following Leo, felt that Leo's idea was very correct, and she spoke softly, making Anna's optimistic expression stagnate slightly, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.
At this time, Mishaya and Qing Yu, who had been sent to join the mage group, flew back, Qing Yu looked a little solemn, and told them a piece of news that they didn't know if it was good or bad.
"The projection magic that was set up in front last night was destroyed, and the last image that came back looked exactly like the orcs that the master had said, riding giant wolves, and there were many of them. ā
"Look, knowing that their strongest cavalry will lose their effect on this terrain, they are still here, exactly like what Captain Hoka said, I'll go tell the Commander the news. When Anna heard Qing Yu's words, her eyes lit up slightly, and her figure moved, running down.
Leo and Yan looked at each other sorrowfully, wondering what the orcs were thinking, at this time Mishaya fell from the sky, glanced at Leo, frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "I felt the similar aura of the three transcendental-level professionals in that area, and since the last time I defeated the guy who called himself the demon god, the master's body also has this kind of aura, it smells bad." ā
