Chapter 100: The Curse of Vengeance
North end of the South Taron savannah, Castle Thor.
Since owning the land here three years ago, the three clans of Orc Black Hawk, Wild Leopard and Giant Serpent have worked together to demolish Thor's Fortress and use the materials obtained to rebuild a brand new city not far away.
For a full 3 years, the strength of the three major clans of Black Eagle, Wild Leopard and Giant Snake has increased greatly, they occupy the north-south transportation arteries, monopolize land transportation, and expand in all directions with Thor's Castle as the center, and also organize people to plunder the human population and materials from time to time, so the current Thor's Castle has gradually replaced the Beamon Castle of the Brute Bear Clan to become the new center of the Orcs.
In the past 3 years, it is 3 years for the orcs and the humans in the imperial capital to recuperate, but recuperation does not mean that the war is stopped, in fact, thousands of battles occur from time to time, every few months, the wolf cavalry formed by the orcs will quickly go south to plunder the humans, and then the knights of the imperial capital will rush north, after several battles between the two sides, the orcs will slowly retreat to the tribal habitat with the booty, and the knights of the imperial capital have to return to the imperial capital, they have to go to the south to suppress the rebellion of Senat and other lords without even getting any restγ
Because the north of the entire imperial capital is an endless plain, so human beings have no danger to defend, so they can only spend huge manpower and material resources to build a strong manor, when the orcs come to plunder, they hide in the manor fortress, stick to the help, so that the orcs repeatedly go south The harvest is greatly reduced, in order to make up for the loss of their expected interests, the powerful orc tribe will hit those weak orc tribes.
Unconsciously, a dozen orc tribes with a small number of people disappeared inexplicably into the depths of the prairie, and after a few months, those who are interested will find that among the slaves who repair Thor's castle, there are many more familiar faces, and these orcs originally belonged to those tribes that disappeared, but no one dared to say this in public, because those who dared to do so would also disappear inexplicably.
"One, two, three!" shouted the two human corpse throwers, and threw an orc corpse into the dark corpse dumping hole. Behind the two corpse throwers was a cart full of corpses, filled with dozens of corpses, old and young, human and orc.
"I said, these guys are getting poorer and poorer now. A human corpse thrower said to his companion, "I remember three years ago when I could get a bunch of silver coins from a random person, and now a few copper coins would be good, but alas, even a good garment on a dead man is hard to find." β
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and finish these corpses, we'll go and gamble with those bastards all night long, I don't believe we can't beat them." Another tall corpse thrower said, "If you turn it carefully, even a copper coin is better than nothing, and they won't need it anyway." β
"Huh?" the first short-looking corpse thrower suddenly said, "Why is this corpse's clothes so hard?" After saying this, the short corpse thrower took out a dagger from his body, cut the corpse's clothes, and took out a tightly wrapped linen bag from the clothes.
"Ah, is it his secret good stuff? Open it for me to see. The tall corpse thrower left what he was doing, walked a few steps to his companion, and said, "Maybe we're going to get rich, I guess it's a jewel." β
The short corpse thrower opened the linen with trembling hands, and a thumb-sized gem appeared in front of them, and the two people looked at the jewel with drooling, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while the tall corpse thrower reacted, he stretched out his hand to grab the gem in his hand, but the short corpse thrower was not slow, he retracted his hand forcefully, and wanted to hide the gem on his body.
The two of them scrambled, the tall corpse thrower was a little stronger, he grabbed the linen and snatched the gem from the hands of the short companion, and the short corpse thrower was naturally unwilling to let his companion snatch the things away in vain, he hit his tall companion hard, and the gem came out of his hand, and under the gaze of the two of them, he drew an arc and fell into the corpse dumping hole.
The dark corpse throwing hole suddenly had a little more fire, and the short corpse thrower slowly moved forward step by step with a torch and cursed, and behind him, the tall corpse thrower grabbed the hemp rope with both hands and slowly fell to the ground.
"You idiot, if it weren't for you robbing, we'd be drinking ale by now. The short man smelled the rancid smell of the cave, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he cursed indignantly.
The tall man was still slowly crawling down, his body hanging in the air, and he sneered at each other: "Obviously you pushed me." β
The short man cursed a few more words and then had no time to speak, because there were corpses all over his feet, some of which had been completely turned into white bones, and the ones that had been thrown in not long ago were still slowly rotting, and the whole cave was filled with the smell of corpses, but fortunately, the two corpse throwers had been dealing with corpses all day long, and they were barely able to adapt.
The short man held a torch in one hand and a stick in the other hand to slowly pull away the bones from the ground to find out the whereabouts of the gem, while the tall man followed the short man and prayed to the god of light as a way to embolden himself.
"Ah, I see it. The short corpse thrower's eyes lit up, he found that the gem he had lost was actually held in the palm of his hand by a skeletal arm, he didn't think much about it, he dropped the stick in his hand and walked over to the gem, just as he stretched out his arm to grab the gem, a human male's stiff voice sounded in the cave: "This is yours?"
"Of course!" replied the short corpse thrower, without thinking, "of ......course it is me," and as he said this, he suddenly realized that the man's voice did not belong to anyone he knew, and at the same time, the skeletal arm of the short man holding the gem in front of him moved.
"Uh!" The tall corpse thrower was very big, but he was too timid, and with the help of the torch in the hand of his short companion, he saw a moving black shadow swaying not far from him, which frightened him and fainted on the spot, while the short man was much bolder, and he just subconsciously let out a scream.
The short corpse thrower had a long mouth, looking at the black shadow in front of him with an incredible gaze, and with the help of the light of the torch in his hand, he could barely see the other party's appearance clearly: a creature of similar stature to a human, but one left hand was completely turned into dry bones, and in addition, this guy's whole body was almost **, except for a small ball of rags around his crotch.
Soon, the short corpse thrower was accustomed to the light in front of him, and he could clearly see that the creature was stitched all over his body, and many of the adjacent skins were completely different in texture and tone, reminiscent of a finely crafted fur coat, and the skilled craftsmen cut the best parts of the poor little creatures and stitched them together to achieve the best results.
"Very good, give it back to you. The fellow, who didn't know if it was a human being, stretched out his skeletal arm again, and handed the gem to the short man who threw the corpse, but the short man still had a greedy heart now, and he said a few perfunctory words, turned and ran desperately along the path from which he had come.
"Bang!" the short man only ran 2 steps at most before hitting something hard, he dared to swear to God, he had never seen this terrifying and suffocating thing in front of him when he first came, a zombie that was already rotting all over his body, but he could still walk on its own.
"How long has it been?" the guy with the skeletal arm asked, "What year is it?"
The short man fell to his knees in a plop, and he cried out: "I still have a mother who is dozens of years old, a dozen children who can't walk, and ......."
"Oh. Have the humans reoccupied Thor's Fortress?How else could those rude guys raise so many idlers?" the guy with the skeletal arm said, and his question made the short man kowtow and say, "Please don't kill me, you see I don't even have meat in my body, eat that guy if you want, he has a lot of meat on his body, and he is very chewy......"
"Really?" the guy with the skeletal arm listened to the short man's words, casually recited a series of incantations, and aimed his skeletal arm at the tall man who fainted on the ground, and an evil black mist erupted from the gray skull knuckles, and the black mist flew very fast, so that it could be said that it only took two seconds to envelop the tall man's body.
"Ahh
After more than ten seconds, the black mist dissipated, and a tall dry bone appeared in front of the short corpse thrower, most of the flesh on the dry bones had rotted, but there were still a lot of remnants on it, especially the head of the dry bones, and you could clearly see half of the original face, it was the tall corpse thrower.
The short man who saw everything terrible in front of him spit it out on the spot, he knelt on the ground honestly, and didn't dare to say anything more, the guy with the skeletal arm began to patiently interrogate the captive in front of him, and the short man threw the corpse under the threat of death, of course, he didn't dare to hide it, and obediently told everything he knew.
The guy with the skeletal arm interrogated him several times, and when he saw that he could no longer find any useful information, he put his skeletal palm on the short man's head and touched it, and the short man only felt that a powerful evil force rushed into his brain like a flood, sadness, sorrow, fear, grief, helplessness, pain...... Soon his mind could not contain so many emotions, and the "bang" completely exploded.
Blood splattered everywhere, soaking the guy with the skeletal arm, but he didn't care at all, but let out the fiercest roar in his heart towards his enemies who were in a distant place: "I'm not dead yet, I'll be back, wait for my vengeful curse to come!"
