"A kilometre to the east, through the Thundering Canyon, you can go deep into the wilderness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Atanis put his sword back into its sheath and said proudly to Rogge: "As for the Pharaoh's Stone you mentioned, we don't know what it is, and we can't tell you where you can find it, so you better figure it out for yourself!"

"Thank you. Rogge nodded to him and said to Antonio, "Come on, Captain, let's take a little detour, it's better than fighting the Spartan warriors here." ”

Antonio nodded to Atanis, turned on his horse and led the knights to the east, and the high priest Goethe glared at the Spartans with a look of annoyance, and angrily ordered the priests to follow the knights.

On the way, Catherine approached with curiosity and whispered to Rogge, "Those Spartans seem to hate us, why is that?"

Rog brought his horse close to her steed, leaned to her and whispered, "A century ago, before the battle of the century between humans and vampires began, the Holy Order, in order to resist the pressure of the orcs of the savage wilderness on the border of Deiz, sent people to ask the Spartans for help, and promised to give part of the land in the northwest of Deiz to the Spartans after the war. ”

"But," said Rogge, smiling a little mockingly, "when the war was over, the Empire not only did not keep its promise, but when it was evacuated from the wilderness, its soldiers plundered several Spartan villages, and many women and children were enslaved, which made the Spartans angry. ”

To this end, the enraged Spartans launched a war of revenge, hunting down the Imperial army in three ways before they left the wilderness, killing all 30,000 horses behind the Imperial Palace on the border, recapturing a large number of plundered Spartan slaves and supplies, and burning several border villages within the Imperial border line as a sign of revenge. ”

From then on, the empire and the Spartans became bitter enemies, especially the Deiz hated the Spartans very much, and wars often broke out on the border between the wild wilderness and Deiz, and thousands of people died every month. Rog shook the dust from the hood of his black cloak and shrugged his shoulders at Catherine.

"I really didn't expect there to be such a story. Catherine said with emotion.

"Speaking of which, the Spartans didn't report to the rear, and it was already nice to mobilize troops to surround us, not to mention that they showed us the way. Rogge glanced at Goethe's iron face with a smile and said to Catherine, "Based on the high priest's actions just now, I don't think it's too much to kill him." ”

Catherine snickered silently, and the two chatted as they walked along, and the party marched eastward through the barren land, approaching the Thundering Canyon in the evening, an extremely narrow valley flanked by rocky cliffs, in which only one trail was passable.

Antonio sent a group of knights to open the way, followed by himself and Goethe, followed by Rog, Catherine and Tully, leading the knights and priests through the canyon, the howling night wind blowing through the canyon, bringing a hint of coldness and strange atmosphere, making everyone in the canyon tense their nerves.

Suddenly, Rogge's ears moved, and he faintly heard something, and the little owl hidden in the hood of his cloak also got out of its little head, looked around curiously, and said, "Bad wolf, I heard some strange sounds." ”

Rogge nodded silently, Catherine and Tali beside him looked at him in unison when they heard Lilith's words, Rogge listened quietly for a moment, raised his head and looked at Taniguchi in front of him and said, "Something happened over there in Taniguchi, it seems that we are not here at the right time, I'm afraid we are going to catch up with some trouble." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a silver dragon knight suddenly rode to Antonio's side and reported loudly: "Commander, there are sounds of battle and roaring from the valley mouth ahead, it sounds like an orc!"

"Why are you here?" Antonio craned his neck in surprise to look in the direction of Taniguchi, and said, "This is not the territory of the orcs, are they starting to invade the south again?"

"Let's stop the troops, we'd better not blindly contact the orcs!" Rog said as he stepped forward to Antonio, turning back to the little furball and saying, "Little villain, go ahead and see what's going on, be careful not to be discovered." ”

Lilith the little owl immediately left Rog, flapped her little wings and flew towards the exit of the Thundering Canyon, and the small black figure disappeared in the night, silently flying down the steep cliffs, quietly coming out of the valley mouth, and the deafening shouts of killing echoed in her ears.

The small furball landed on a small stone protruding from the cliff wall, gathered its wings and looked curiously at the empty wasteland outside the mouth of the canyon, where a large group of orcs were fighting wildly, and there were a large number of orc corpses lying on the ground, blood stained the yellow earth, and blood-stained weapons were thrown everywhere.

"Why do these ugly monsters kill themselves?" Little Furball tilted her little head and looked at the orcs killing each other on the ground in confusion, she saw a half-orc with a big waist and round waist and wearing beast bone armor rampaging through the crowd with a double-edged battle axe, but all the orcs who dared to fight him were chopped off with their heads chopped by the battle axe.

"That ugly monster is so big!" the little furball stared at him and muttered to himself, "Bigger than the bad wolf, and uglier than the bad wolf!"

With that, she turned her little head to look around to make sure Rog wasn't around, so she squinted her eyes in satisfaction and turned back, and suddenly saw a whirling warhammer flying towards her.

"Oh Mom!" the little furball subconsciously rolled to the right, and the war hammer slammed into the cliff beside her, deeply embedded in the stone wall, and the little furball carefully stretched out its shrunken little head from under its wings, glanced at the hammer, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Which villain smashed this baby with a hammer!" the little furball glared, and the warhammer of the chanting spell automatically pulled out of the stone wall, and flew back in the direction of the battlefield, flying straight towards the orc holding the double-edged battle axe.

The orc, who was on the noisy battlefield, did not notice the warhammer flying from behind, and swung his battle axe to smash the head of another orc in front of him.

Hearing only a scream, blood splashed on the face of the half-orc holding a double-edged battle axe, he subconsciously took a step back, wiped his face with his hand, and saw the half-orc who had just sneaked up on him fall in front of him, his head had been smashed by a war hammer, the hammer head was embedded in the cavity, and blood was spilled on the ground.

He looked around in amazement, but didn't find out who had helped him, and at this moment many orcs with double-edged battle axes like him came to his side, and one of the orc warriors said, "Chief, they have retreated!"

The orc, known as the Patriarch, looked back and saw the group of orcs hurrying to the northeast with a warhammer, and he glanced down at the sneak attacker who had just been killed by the warhammer, who was the commander of the enemy army and had been ordered to hunt down their leader.

"Who helped us with this?" the orc patriarch pulled his hammer from the corpse and looked up in the direction of the Thundering Canyon, but saw no one.

"Come on, we must make our way through the Thundering Canyon, they will be back soon!" the orc patriarch threw his hammer to the ground and waved the double-bladed battle axe in his hand with a loud shout, and the hundreds of orc warriors beside him followed him towards the mouth of the Thundering Canyon.

When they rushed into the canyon, they suddenly saw a group of silver-armored human knights blocking the way, the armored horses and the knights on the horses were cold, and the spears in their hands flashed out from behind the silver iris shields, reflecting a wisp of murder on the faces of the orcs.

"Why, how come," the orc patriarch stopped in surprise, looked at the human knight blocking the way in surprise, and said, "How can there be a human army here?"

"Patriarch, have we been ambushed?" said the orc warrior behind him, looking uneasily at the uniform formation of the humans.

"No matter what, we can't fight the humans here, get out of here!" the orc patriarch turned back and whispered to his subordinates, the orcs were about to retreat backwards, when they suddenly saw a path split in the knights' formation, and a silver-armored knight rode in front of the formation.

"The orcs on the other side, I'm Antonio, the leader of the Silver Dragon's Winged Knights, which tribe are you from, and what are you doing here?" asked the knight leader, pulling his horse, lifting the mask of the silver helmet, staring at the orcs in front of him.

The orc patriarch and the orcs behind him looked at Antonio with puzzled expressions, not understanding what he was saying, when Rog rode out of the knights' formation and came to Antonio's side and loudly translated his words into orc language.

However, before he could finish his words, the orc patriarch suddenly pointed at him and shouted: "Sure enough, it's you, you treacherous conspirator, I didn't expect that even humans would be swayed by you!" The orcs behind him clenched their battle axes and prepared for war.

Rogge and Antonio looked at each other suspiciously, and Rogge turned back and asked in orc language, "Excuse me, what do you mean by that?"

"Lone wolf!" the orc patriarch pointed at him with the double-edged battle axe in his hand and shouted, "Don't be cowardly here, the dirty things you helped the Shadow Fortress do, I and my people know it, we will not give in to you, you can corrupt Grote, but you can't corrupt us!"

"I help the Shadow Fortress?" Rogge frowned in surprise, exchanged glances with Antonio with an inexplicable expression, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that?"
