Chapter 619: Those who are close to pigs eat
"I'm sorry High Priestess, I didn't want you to know, but I had to do so," Rog shrugged his shoulders and smiled at him with a feigned apology. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Goethe glared at him, and suddenly noticed that Antonio, Catherine, and Tali were all standing behind Rogge looking at him, and he hesitated and said to Antonio, "Antonio, did you already know about this?"
"Of course, High Priestess, we all know this, in fact, whether it's a werewolf, an elf, a dwarf, a orc, or the chief wanted criminal, as long as he can help the Empire against the Shadow Fortress, why should we pursue his identity and past?" said Antonio, smiling, as he stepped forward to look at Rogge and Goethe.
"You actually brought a monster to the Holy Emperor's Palace to meet His Majesty?" Godra grabbed Antonio's arm and dragged him aside, and asked sharply, "If he suddenly goes berserk and hurts His Majesty, or kills the cardinal priests of the Senate, can you afford to be responsible?"
"I thought there were two of us, and that wasn't a problem!" Antonio looked at Goethe's angry face and said, "Does the High Priest think that the two of us, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, plus the Senate and the Palace Guard, can't handle a werewolf?"
"Shut up, Antonio!" Goethe glared at him angrily and said, "You'd better not play with fire, werewolves have been at odds with us for generations, and you'd better not make a big mistake for this!"
"It seems that the high priest is very angry. Rogge said to Antonio, who was smiling as he walked back, with a cigar in his mouth.
"It's as if he's not angry at times. Antonio smiled gloatingly as he stopped in front of Rogge and glanced in the direction of the departing Goethe.
"Ah, I have a new impression of you, Captain. Rogge feigned surprise.
"I'm guessing what you're going to say isn't a good thing. Antonio looked at Rogge with a slanted eyebrow, and Rogge smiled and spread his hands and replied, "Don't be so sensitive, I mean, it's the first time I've seen you smile like that." ”
"Maybe it's because I see you laughing like that a lot, so I'm affected. Antonio said with a smile as he walked side by side towards the camp.
"Near Zhu Zhechi, do you want to say this?" asked Rogge with a tacit smile.
Before Antonio could answer, the little furball lying on Rogge's shoulder suddenly raised his little head and asked with great interest: "Those who are close to pigs eat?
"Yes, Lilith is so smart, people who are close to pigs always have good food, just like you, little darling!" Antonio touched the little hairball's head with his hand, patted Rog on the shoulder meaningfully, and strode away with a smirk.
Rogge stood in place with his hands pinched and looked at his departing back, turned around and poked the little hairy fan's puzzled little head with his finger and said, "Do you hear, you are the pig, the little pig-headed eagle!"
After saying that, he lifted up the little furball and put it on Catherine's head behind him, and then turned around and walked away, the little furball was stunned for a moment, and suddenly flew up from Catherine's head and shouted: "Big bad wolf, don't run, you haven't given the baby's reward yet, what about the delicious food!"
......
At midnight that day, in the outer fortifications of the Yellow Sand Fortress, the soldiers of the Kentra tribe of the Great Chief Grote were fully equipped and vigilantly patrolled the inside and outside of the fortifications.
In the Chieftain's Hall at the top of the fortress is lit with torches, and in front of the wall inlaid with the skulls of a giant beast at the end of the hall, the Great Orc Great Chief Grote sits on a throne in gold armor, and at the head of him sits Alice, a master replicator who has not recovered from her injuries.
Alice had returned to her original self, wearing a black robe with a black dragon pattern that symbolized the identity of the Shadow Keep, and her body was bandaged in multiple places, and her face still looked very weak.
In the middle of the battle, Rogge's "Frost Domain" almost killed her, and Grote made the orc shaman sacrifice the lives of several orc slaves in order to save her, which saved her from her near-death state.
"Miss Alice," looking at the bewildered faces in the hall, Grroot was silent for a long time, and finally said to the dark wizard, "Now that Susan's rebels have come to the city with the help of humans and lone wolves, and the tribes in the west have been held back by the Spartans, and there is no way to return to help, we need the help of the Shadow Fortress!"
"Where's your Thunderbird friend, Great Chief?" asked Alice, looking feebly at Grote.
"I can't contact them," Grlot said, spreading his hands helplessly, "The King of the Thunderbirds hasn't sent anyone since he bombarded the Tyron level, but my scouts have reported that they have heard fierce fighting and the roars of cyclops in the northern mountains. ”
"Damn!" Alice clenched her fists through gritted teeth, and said with hatred, "How is it possible that the lone wolf has convinced the Cyclops?"
"Anyway, Miss Alice, we don't have any reinforcements to use now," Grote said in a gloomy tone as he looked around at the orc patriarchs who were following him in the hall, and said in a gloomy tone, "All we can use now is the 80,000 troops in this fortress." ”
"Our enemies seem to be similar to ours," Alice's sinister eyes, hidden under the hood of her black robe, seemed to see a glimmer of hope, "but they don't have our advantage, and we still have a chance to fight them." ”
"Miss Alice," at this time, the head of the Hames clan, Harisia, stood up and said to Alice, "Why have you been avoiding the question of the Great Chief, we need the help of the Shadow Fortress, you should immediately summon the legions from the Shadow Fortress and give them a fatal blow when the rebels attack us!"
"Patriarch Harisia," Alice's face showed obvious contempt, as if the person who was speaking to her was not an orc patriarch, but a lowly slave, and she said coldly, "I am only here to help you on the orders of Lord William, not here to listen to your dictators, you are not qualified to tell me what to do, understand?"
Haritia's eyes widened in annoyance, and he pointed his finger at her and shouted, "What do you mean by this, you have been avoiding our questions, is the Shadow Fortress not going to send troops to support us at all, you are just using us as a ......"
Before Haritia's words fell, Alice's eyes suddenly flashed red, Harisha wailed, and collapsed to the ground with her hands on her neck in pain, struggling a few times before she was silent.
The surrounding orc patriarchs jumped up from their seats one after another, looking at Haritia and Alice who had fallen to the ground in shock and anger.
Alice looked up at the angry Grote and said, "Don't blame me, Great Chief, your subordinates must be absolutely loyal to you, and those loyal to you must be loyal to the Shadow Fortress, otherwise, there is no need for him to stay in this world." ”
Grout was silent for a moment, and glanced at the orc patriarch in the hall, the half-orc patriarch dared to look at Alice angrily, and turned around and walked out of the hall, and after they all left, Grote ordered the soldiers guarding the door to close the door, and only him and Alice were left in the empty hall.
"Miss Alice," said Grote, who got up and walked down from the throne, came to Alice and looked down at her composure, "I agree with you, and I never doubted the Shadow Fortress, but at this time, I need you to give me an answer." ”
"What answer do you want?" asked Alice, looking up at him.
"There's no one else here, just me and you," Grote leaned over Alice, stared into her deep eyes and lowered his voice, "Tell me, if we are in trouble, will Lord William send troops to save us?"
Alice looked at him for a long time, and suddenly she couldn't help laughing, she stood up, patted Grote's heavy shoulder in gold armor with her black silk gloved hand, and said, "Is there any point in asking me this question?
"Or ......," Alice said as she brushed past Grote, pausing behind him, her tone suddenly darkening, "Or are you going to surrender Kaejo if I tell you that there are no reinforcements?"
"I'm not going to surrender to those thieves!" Grote said aloud, turning sharply.
"I'm sure you won't," said Alice, strolling to the chair opposite, "in that case, you need not ask me for this answer, for it means nothing to you, all you have to do is prepare for war with all your might, and it seems that the enemy will not do it tonight, but not later than tomorrow." ”
Grote stared at Alice for a moment, and was about to speak, when he heard a loud noise outside the fortress, and both he and Alice, who was sitting opposite, were taken aback, Alice got up from her chair, and the two of them rushed out of the hall together to the large platform on the top floor of the fortress where the giant statue of Grlot stood on the top floor.
When they stopped at the edge of the platform, they saw countless fireballs burning with green flames falling from the sky and falling on the front line of the fortress, the first and second lines of fortifications of the fortress were instantly reduced to ruins under the bombardment of undead artillery fire, and the orc soldiers defending the place retreated to the third line of defense in panic.
"It seems that our forecast is overly optimistic. Alice stared at the front-line fortifications that had turned into flames in the night, and said to Grote beside her.
"Miss Alice," Grote said with a grim face as he slammed his huge fist on the wall, turning to Alice with a grim face, "things have come to this point, and I will no longer ask for reinforcements from the Shadow Fortress, I only hope that as the messenger of the Shadow Fortress, you can do your best in this war." ”
"Of course I won't stop there, I haven't repaid yesterday's revenge yet!" Alice's gaze turned coldly in the direction of the battlefield, and the figure disappeared into a black circular magic array, and several bandages scattered from the place where she disappeared and landed on the ground in front of Grot.
