Chapter 121: True and False
The gray sky, the gray ground, in the gloom, the pit left by the battle, like a bare wound, a crimson red, the dust occasionally swept up by the wind, like a fly wandering between the wounds, it is really desolate and desolate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In such an environment, even if they didn't see the previous battle scene, seeing such a scene, the waiters who had just arrived knew that there had been a big battle here before. Although there was a strangely dressed human present, holding a demon in his hand (orcs also value blood, and can recognize the difference between demons and humans at a glance), the attendant ignored it, and quickly ordered the vulture dragon to land on the ground and stepped forward to see Gehe.
"Let's go!" Ge He ignored the attendants who had come forward to meet him, and stepped on the vulture dragon to ask Wu Tian to follow him away.
"Elder, how should we deal with it?" The attendants who followed Gehe to the meeting were all Soul Captains, and they would not dare to come forward to ask because they were afraid, but to outsiders, this was also a headless question.
However, Gehe was certainly not an outsider, he knew what the waiters were going to ask, and the battle between him and Gray, although the waiters did not see it, they also guessed what Gehe was talking about, but the stakes were very high, and they had to be personally awarded by Gehe.
"From this moment on, I am the Great Elder, and tell them that the Great Elder has been killed by a mysterious organization of the human race, and the assassin has been killed by me. Gehe pointed to the corpse of the mysterious man in the distance.
Ge He took Wu Tian and the others away, and a group of attendants put away the corpses of the "assassins" and sacrificed communication totems to people, so that the people of the Hall of Elders could put the people of the Great Elder under house arrest. Because the people of the Great Elder were sent far away to the border cities. Most of the dead and wounded were alive and wounded, at best, 3,000 people could survive, and they were not in the Hall of Elders. And Gehe's men are almost all in the Hall of Elders. Although the power is not as strong as Gray, there are also seven or eight thousand shamans, and it is not difficult to clear the hall of elders from all those who do not obey Gehe.
On the same day, news came out from the Hall of Elders that the Great Elder Gray was murdered by humans, and the murderer was the mysterious person who followed Gray back to the Hall of Elders. It is also known that the mysterious man lured Gray to the ambush and killed him by luring the perpetrator Wu Tianwen of the "forbidden curse incident".
Hear this. The first was the Unitary Chief Conrad and the High Priest Audwin asking questions. They already had an opinion about Gehe, and they had always wanted to pull Gehe off the throne of the leader, but they knew it. Even if Gray returns, he will not help Gehe, and he is worried that he will not have a chance to start, this time there is such a big thing, how can they not take advantage of it. In search of the Allies. The two of them connected all the elders who were in charge of the affairs of the elders' hall in the field. Find out about Gray's death. But unfortunately, the Great Elder's people have been placed under house arrest, and there are no people or evidence to use.
Just when they had no choice but to take Gehe, news came that Gru had returned with 3,000 shamans, and they were also suspicious of Gray's killing. This undoubtedly made Conrad and Audwin, who had no choice for a while, see the light again in the darkness, and immediately brought people to the Hall of Elders to ask for an explanation.
After all, the Hall of Elders is Gehe's territory, and Conrad and Oderwin brought tens of thousands of priests with them this time. There are enough centaurs, but Gru only has 3,000 shamans. Although there are more people than the Hall of Elders, if you really want to fight, the chances of winning are not great. Because when the two sides are equal, the decision depends on the number of masters. Gehe's subordinates have at least seven to eight soul captains, dozens of big soul leaders, and in terms of the cultivation of waiters, the unitary chief is far from enough, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that Conrad and Audwin are both magisters, it is estimated that they don't even have the courage to come to the door.
Originally, Conrad also wanted to pull in the Beast Emperor Elro, but Erro didn't help either side on the grounds that the Beast Emperor Hall did not interfere in the affairs of the Hall of Elders, and sat on the wall to watch the tiger fight.
In the Hall of Elders, Gehe has already returned, and Lilan's injuries have been healed, but he knows that killing Gray is widely implicated, and sooner or later someone will come to the door, how can it be so easy for Gehe to smoothly grasp the power of the Hall of Elders. Let Lilan recuperate in the inner sanctum, while Wu Tian once again dissolves into Gehe's body, preparing for a battle for power.
"Great Elder, General Gru, Conrad and O'Derwin, and all the elders ask to see you!" On this day, Gehe had sensed that a large number of people were approaching outside the Elders' Hall, and sure enough, as soon as he came out, someone reported that someone was looking for scumbags.
"Hmph! just a bunch of ants, let them in. Gehe disdainfully sat down on the upper seat of the conference hall in the outer hall, and did not take this group of people who asked for guilt in his eyes.
After a while, Gru, Conrad, Audwin, and a group of elders came up to the temple, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Gehe standing tall and complacent. Although their lineup today cannot be said to be overwhelming, at least it is overwhelming by the number of people who are overwhelming the Hall of Elders, but Gehe is confident, which makes them puzzled.
"Gru, it is said that you have been sitting in the border city waiting for the enemy to fall into the net, but the border city is the center of the forbidden spell, how can you survive?" and the others waited for the group to sit down, Gehe asked unhurriedly.
"Before the incident, I let a few squires put a 'mad death curse' on me, although the magic is strong, but it can't kill me, but the death curse time has passed, the magic remnants are still there, I was knocked unconscious, plus the backlash of the death curse, until the great elder went to investigate, he rescued me to the camp to recuperate. So I was also present when the Great Elder met with that human being, and I knew that he would definitely not be the one who murdered the Great Elder. Gru was right, and although it may be true, he must have embellished it before he came.
"Oh, then you're saying I'm lying?" Gehe's tone changed and became serious.
"Gehe, as the Second Elder, it is not inappropriate for you to be in charge of the affairs of the Hall of Elders while Gray is away, but is it inappropriate to usurp the position of the Great Elder on your own initiative?"
The Hall of Elders was originally the place to serve the Elder Chief, and the position of Elder was to be approved by the Elder Chief, but as the prestige of the Hall of Elders became more and more prosperous, there were many talents, and the limelight had overpowered the Elder Hall. Just like Gray, he was directly promoted to the position of Great Elder by the previous Great Elder without being appointed by the Unitary Elder. It is also for this reason that Conrad has always wanted to suppress the Hall of Elders. To reproduce the grand occasion of the ancestors, in his heart, is to restore the order of the year.
"Hehe, our Hall of Elders has long been 'making its own decisions'. Could it be that Youchang didn't know until now?" Conrad was going to suppress Gehe in the reasoning, but unfortunately Gehe didn't take the Youchang Hall seriously at all.
"You ......" Conrad never expected that Gehe, who had met him respectfully before, was now completely ruthless. When Conrad was about to go berserk in a rage, O'Dhwin stopped him.
"Then may I ask Elder Gehe, Grand Elder Gray has just died, and it shouldn't be appropriate for even the Elder of the Branch Hall to proclaim himself as the Great Elder without even knowing it, right?" O'Derwin grabbed Conrad and didn't let him turn his face on the spot. It's not that he thinks that his side is not strong enough, but he always feels that Gehe is a little weird.
Before, in the Unitary Hall of Latin City, Audwin thought Gehe was strange. Although it is said that in the Hall of Elders, many people have said after seeing Gehe. There is another genius in the Hall of Elders, not only is he extremely talented in magic cultivation, but his personal courage is also excellent, and he is the best successor to Gray. But Oderwin always felt that Gehe's mind was too meticulous to be like an orc. He had always thought. Gehna's words that almost made Conrad plan and confuse the orcs and humans were deliberate. At the meeting in Rhema City, O'Dewyn, as Conrad's right and left man, of course, also participated, and seeing that Gehe won the position of leader of the army in just a few words, made him even more sure of his ideas. Of course, he can't guess that Gehe is just a puppet, and this kind of thing is on the mainland, but I'm afraid that even if you tell him to his face, he will call you an idiot, Audwin just guessed that Gehe has a "master" behind him, and this "master" may be that Wu Tian.
"Haha!" Gech laughed maniacally at what O'Dwin had to say. After laughing, he said, "All the elders, when are my two brothers going to listen to the elders? These elders are here." Whoever is not convinced will stand up now!"
Ge He said it loudly, and although the elders of the branch hall had the names of the elders, for the Ge He brothers in the Hall of Elders, they were just subordinates who were not much different from the soul elders of the Hall of Elders, so they suddenly made the elders who came with them bow their heads and did not dare to come out.
Seeing that the elders did not dare to speak out, Conrad and Oderwin were at a disadvantage again, tall and tall, and Gru, who had always been loyal to Gray, stood up: "The Great Elder got the news that he was able to find the demon woman who was with Wu Tian, as long as he caught her, he could force Wu Tian to appear, so the Great Elder hurriedly left the border, and later I communicated with the Great Elder in the border camp and knew that the Demon Woman appeared in the inner hall of the Elder Palace, but she was nowhere to be found." While the Great Elder chased after him to arrest the demon woman, he sent a message to me to bring 3,000 attendants back to the temple, who knew that this kind of thing would happen when I rushed back. ”
"Hasn't the inner sanctum always been only accessible to you brothers?" Conrad was overjoyed when he finally got the favorable news from Gruna, but he still pretended to be strange and asked Gehe.
In fact, the two Gray brothers have a very good relationship, if in the past, whether they were loyal to Gray or Gehe, they were just loyal to the Hall of Elders, and there was not much difference. But when he returned to the Hall of Elders, it was rumored that Gehe had murdered Gray to seize power, so that Gru didn't know for a while whether to believe the rumors to avenge Gray, or ignore the rumors to help Gehe. Because of this, Gru only said what he saw Gray really say and did when he came up, and did not actually say anything about Gehe. But in the end, Gru really had no choice but to say what could make Gehe unable to explain in the end.
"That's right, only our brothers can enter the inner sanctum. Gehe's words began to grow cold as he spoke. "This is also the reason why the Great Elder I said was murdered by that mysterious man, why can the mysterious person know the whereabouts of a person who can secretly infiltrate the inner hall?
Conrad couldn't refute it for a while after listening to what Gehe said, it is true that only the Gray brothers can enter the inner hall, but it does not mean that others will definitely not be able to enter, Gehe only needs to insist that he does not know, and they can't help Gehe if they beat him upside down.
For a while, a group of people who were going to come to Gehe for trouble fell into an embarrassing place where they had nothing to say. Although Conrad is the Unitary Chief, Gehe has already said that he does not follow the orders of the Unitary Palace, and here, including his "allies", most of them are people from the Elder Palace, and in this regard, Conrad has no way to refute Gehe, because it has long been a fact that the Elder Hall does not obey the orders of the Unitary Palace. Speaking of Gru, although the things he said were also very weighty, after all, he guessed through the communication with Gray, and Gehe didn't admit that he could do anything about it. Unless you can find a loyal acolyte who was already in the Hall of Elders. Otherwise, no one in the Hall of Elders would be able to take Gehe as a result, because Gray had long had the intention of letting Gehe take charge of the Hall of Elders and serve as the Great Elder. This is already well known in the Hall of Elders and even in the Orc Wolf Country. If it can't be proven that Gehe had anything to do with Gray's murder, no one will be able to bring him down.
"The Great Elder has been teaching me during his lifetime, just so that I can take over the Elder Hall, and now that the Great Elder is gone, I am the Great Elder. Seeing that everyone was silent, Gehe came out to take the lead. "Gru, you bring back the personnel sent out by the Hall of Elders. Take credit to you, Tacheng no longer exists, and you don't have to go to the so-called border guard. Follow me north to lead the troops!"
To put it bluntly, Gru is a martial artist, and as a military general, his lifelong wish is to lead the army and make contributions. For thousands of years, the orcs have been going north to restore the grandeur of the past and regain their former dignity. And who wants to guard the border. Guarding the cold place. When Gru came back, he also heard about Gehe being the leader of the tens of millions of armies of the wolf and snake countries, and now he heard that if he wanted to let himself follow the leader, it was tantamount to asking for a certificate of loyalty from himself, Gehe was the commander of the leader, and he was the direct general of the Hall of Elders, so of course he should also be a big responsibility.
"Gru see the Great Elder!" Gru didn't directly say anything about outsiders entering the inner sanctum, in fact, the biggest reason was because the Greg brothers had always had a good relationship, and Gru didn't believe that Gru would have anything to do with the murder of Gray. Now, under the great temptation of leading the army north, Gru is completely on the side of Gehe.
"General Gru!?" Conrad was shocked. You must know that although he brought a lot of people, but they are all not right, only Gru is Gray's former general, and there are 3000 old people of Gray, if Gru defects, he has no need to stay.
When Conrad wanted to lobby Gru further, he was stopped by O'Adwin, because when Gru was reversed, Gehe kept looking at Conrad with a smile and slowly stood up, giving O'Dwin the feeling that Gehe was preparing a fatal blow, and his target was Conrad. Indeed, since the party in Rhema City, Egehe's position in the hearts of the high-level of the orcs, wolves and snakes is now Conrad who leads people to the door to "make trouble", once Gehe gathers the strength of the whole hall to kill the coming Conrad, and Gru stands on Gehe's side to argue that the beast emperor can't say anything, and the various family forces in the orc nobles can't say anything.
Conrad wasn't stupid either, and he just thought about trying to persuade Gru to come back in a moment's whim. Give Oderwin a pull, the whole person came to his senses, knowing that his life was only in his own thoughts, although he had two magisters, but this was the Hall of Elders after all, and his own people and horses were outside the temple. If the truth is not on your side, you can't argue anymore.
"Since Elder Gehe has been unanimously respected by the Hall of Elders, the position of Grand Elder is of course held by Elder Gehe, what do you think?" Seeing that Conrad understood and stopped talking, Oderwin turned around to help Gehe speak and asked the elders of each branch hall for their opinions.
"See the Great Elder!" The elders of the branch hall came over because of Conrad's face, and I heard that the old department of Gray was not convinced by Gehe, thinking that Gehe was the murderer of his brother, otherwise, they would not be willing to get involved in this troubled water, after all, no matter who is the great elder, it is not good for them, even if Gehe can't be the elders, can they not let these elders of the branch hall come to be the elders, with their ability, they can't even pass the level of the soul chief of the elder hall.
Seeing that Gru and the elders had obeyed him, Gehe could only sit down unsatisfactorily and accept everyone's worship, but unfortunately he did not kill Conrad and Oderwin. If Conrad is "vexatious" again, Gehe can make him never get out of the gate of the Hall of Elders.
"Elder Gray was murdered by humans, and the main culprit of the murderer has been killed by me. Come on, bring the corpse. Ge He saw that the big thing had been decided, so he took out the last bargaining chip, originally to kill Conrad, and then take out this heavy bargaining chip when the Beast Emperor and other noble forces were questioned, so that all the forces had nothing to say.
The waiter who "snapped" the body of the mysterious man smashed the corpse to the ground, and the charred black of the corpse had been cleaned, except for the stiffness of the body, the appearance remained intact.
"That's right, this is the person who came to see Elder Gray in the first place!" Gru was the only one other besides Gray who had seen the face of the mysterious person who had met Gray in the first place, and because of the special incident, Gru had a deep memory and recognized it at once.
"I received a message from the Hall of Elders, and knew that something was wrong, so although I immediately rushed to the scene, I was still one step too late, and I could only kill a group of people, and this person was the person in charge of the other party. "What Gehe said is not without flaws, but these are meaningless, Gehe has already been supported by the elders of the palace, and outsiders like Conrad can't do anything at all.
"Congratulations to the Great Elder on his accession to the throne!" Of course, the waiters who were loyal to Gehe would not miss the opportunity, and immediately led a group of waiters to their knees.
"Congratulations to the Grand Elder on his accession!" followed by Gru and the three Soul Masters of the 3,000 shamans he had brought back.
Someone took the lead, and the scene immediately turned one-sided, followed by Gru, and a group of branch elders fell to their knees. In an instant, a large area of the hall knelt down, seeing this scene, Conrad knew that it was impossible to disobey, so he could only change the original purpose of coming to find the scum to congratulate Gehe on his appointment as an elder, and a dispute turned into a farce.
