Unlike the ancient civilizations that perished, the Orc Empire only declined, not disappeared.

Even though the inheritance was interrupted for a while, the ethnic script was still passed on.

Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won all battles, as an old rival, there is naturally no shortage of scholars who study orc civilization.

After the initial excavations were completed, the contents of the mural were deciphered very quickly.

"Count, the fresco is a prophecy, which translates:

One hundred thousand catastrophes, Ragnarok, crystal wall opening, evil things descending, and blood flowing.

The signature is the first soothsayer of the orc empire, and at the end he left a warning to tell future generations to deal with it rationally. ”

Rogerio said with a solemn expression.

The content of the prophecy is too amazing, Ragnarok has been confirmed, if the subsequent prophecies are all true, then all the races on the continent will have to fight for the continuation of the race.

"The prophecy of the orc soothsayer?"

Earl Pierce couldn't help but exclaim.

When any continental hegemon is glorious, it should not be underestimated.

In particular, the ancient profession of soothsayer seems to be very weak in normal times, and once it plays a role, it can often determine the rise and fall of a party's strength.

However, this kind of divination is usually only aimed at their own forces, and few people will let their own soothsayers predict the fate of the mainland.

I don't know if I can predict the outcome, but anyway, from the moment I initiated the divination, the soothsayer entered the countdown to life.

In a vain attempt to change the fate of all living beings on the continent, the power of the backlash in this can be imagined.

Generally, only in old age, when the longevity is about to run out, will a wave be predicted.

Accuracy depends on the character of the prophet.

Some people leave prophecies out of righteousness, some people leave prophecies for the sake of eternity, and more prophecies are pure mischief.

If it weren't for the previous content that had been verified, Earl Pierce would probably think it was a prank at the first time.

The future is inherently uncertain, and it is not ordinarily difficult to predict what will happen in 10,000 years.

If you really have this ability, why not predict the national fortune of the Orc Empire, and let the strong people in the clan kill the hidden danger of the human race in advance.

"Yes, Count!

Judging from the message on the mural, it was indeed left by an orc prophet. It's too old for us to find information about this orc prophet. ”

Rogerio replied in the affirmative.

As a scholar who studies orc culture, I know more about the historical figures of the orc empire than many orcs.

Even so, there is no guarantee that you will be able to know all the famous people in history.

Too many truths have been buried over the years, and the current orc history is completely pieced together with sporadic data, mixed with the brains of individual scholars.

"Got it.

Chief of the guard, immediately arrange for someone to send the ripped photographic stones to His Majesty and the major nobles! ”

Earl Pierce said calmly.

A prophecy whose truth is unknown cannot be kept secret.

Everyone knows it, so that we can better verify the authenticity.

If the prophecy is confirmed, he, the discoverer, will be able to reap a wave of friendship.

……

Snow Moon Collar.

Hudson, who received the news, frowned suddenly.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

The message in the prophecy is too small to give a rough indication that the threat is coming from outside the world.

When it broke out and what the strength was, it is completely unknown.

"Miss Afia, what do you think of this prophecy?"

Hudson asked.

Frankly, he didn't want to consult with Afia. His own soothsayer is stupid and cute, and he doesn't look very reliable at first glance.

Keeping her in the territory is not extravagant to expect anything from her, just to decorate the façade.

Regardless of her true level, it is enough to let the outside world know that she has a soothsayer who can play a deterrent role.

As a Sanctuary powerhouse of the Law of Fate, Hudson himself is half a prophet.

It's just that he is more afraid of death, and he doesn't dare to risk being eaten back to peek into the uncertain future.

In Hudson's view, the future is undetermined, and what can be deduced is only the most probable.

Compared with directly peeking into fate, soothsayers are obviously cunning beings.

can be inherited for so many years, and naturally there is a set of means to deal with the backlash, but the effect is not so strong.

"I don't know!

There are so many prophets in history, how can I know all of them, let alone the orc prophets of 10,000 years ago.

Duke, don't expect to verify the authenticity. When it comes to the fate of the whole continent, it should not be predicted under normal circumstances.

If it's a prophecy left by the beast god, I think it's pretty much the same. ”

After saying that, Afia looked at Hudson vigilantly, her eyes almost moistened.

As if to say: Let me divination, and I will cry to you.

A funny scene that made Hudson speechless. The fortune tellers in their own house are not only not of high professional standards, but also have poor timidity.

It's normal to think about it, the rare profession of soothsayer will be regarded as a guest of honor in any big power.

A slightly better soothsayer has long been co-opted by major forces.

After so many years of fighting in the north and south, Hudson has encountered such a wild soothsayer.

"Got it, Miss Afia.

In the Territory Library, there are many books by soothsayers. If you're interested, you can check it out.

Your next task is to collect all kinds of continental secrets, especially those strange myths and legends in history, preferably systematically categorized. ”

In the spirit of making the best use of his talents, Hudson directly arranged.

Forget about divination.

The most important thing that people who practice the law of fate is self-confidence. If you put your hopes in divination, then the road ahead will be broken.

How can a person who does not even have faith control his destiny.

With the hiccup over, Hudson's focus returned to territory building.

With the support of all parties in the kingdom, the industrial output value of Xueyue Collar is rising in a rubbing.

The supporting industrial chain is the pinnacle of contemporary times.

Taking the steel industry as an example, there are applications from upstream mining, to midstream smelting, to downstream processing of finished products.

Not only can it produce simple swords and spears, but also complex armor, magic crossbows, and magic crystal cannons, all of which have been moved.

Up to now, the territory has achieved the target of producing 100,000 tons per year. Because of the need to build weapons, steel accounts for up to a quarter of the production.

Looking at the future, this is a proper backward enterprise in the township, but in the contemporary era, it is the first steel production base in the kingdom and the second in the mainland.

Not only the explosion of heavy industry, but also the development speed of other industries is also very rapid.

According to normal economic development, the narrow market of Xueyueling will definitely not be able to support so many enterprises.

There is no impact on the outside world, mainly because less than one-tenth of the products currently produced have entered the market.

More supplies, after they were produced, went into the war warehouse.

Unlike the more grain production, the better, but there is a limit to the purchase and storage of weapons and equipment.

After several years of continuous building, the inventory of ordinary weapons is enough to support a war to destroy the country.

The number of high-tech products such as magic crystal cannons and magic crossbows is also rising.

After Hudson toured the warehouse, he stopped pushing for capacity. Whoever completes the production task will be reduced in the future.

The only thing left that is not limited to production is arrows.

There are more than 300 magic crystal cannons in stock, plus 200 magic crystal cannons in the army, the total number directly exceeds 500.

The magic crystal cannon in the hands of the noble lords everywhere, then there is no need to count it. With these 500 magic crystal cannons alone, the royal government can't afford to raise them.

During his expedition to the Kingdom of Hesse, Hudson used the Crystal Cannon. The power is not to be said, but the cost is really large.

Hudson didn't feel distressed when others reimbursed the expenses. When the kingdom is burdened by itself, it must consider its financial affordability.

The domestic magic crystal production capacity is all combined, and it is not enough for the artillery disaster.

If it weren't for the fact that the finances couldn't stand it, Hudson wouldn't mind making a thousand cannons.

There is no doubt that this can only be thought of. In the feudal era, poor productivity doomed the magic crystal cannon to be unable to expand wantonly.

"Select half of the heavier tonnage magic crystal cannons and distribute them to the provincial garrisons in the southern and northwest provinces, and I will talk about it from the royal government!"

Hudson immediately commanded the quartermaster.

Large-scale centralized production is still very conducive to the development of productive forces.

Compared with the magic crystal cannon manufactured in the early stage, the steel smelting technology and cannon making technology in the middle and late stages have made breakthroughs, and the weight of the cannon body has been directly reduced by one-third.

In a defensive battle, this is nothing; In the field, the weight and mobility of the Crystal Cannon are inversely proportional.

If you want to destroy the orc empire, the kingdom is obviously the main attacker. Most wars take place in the wild.

There are lighter magic crystal cannons, who needs to use heavy ones!

However, since the magic crystal cannon was made, it could not be wasted, and it was used to strengthen the defenses of the rest of the kingdom.

Deep down, Hudson was already secretly complaining, and it seemed that some things had collapsed this time.

The enthusiasm of all parties on the issue of destroying the orcs was even higher than he expected, leading to the early arrival of overcapacity.

The Snow Moon Territory is like this, and the territories of other nobles are estimated to be not much different.

When everyone has overcapacity, then the war can only be brought forward.

But at this juncture, another mysterious prophecy emerged.

If the prophesied catastrophe were to coincide with the war of the orcs for the fall of the kingdom, the consequences would be unpredictable.

This unspeakable annoyance became the exclusive domain of Hudson, and the others were still busy preparing for war.

If everyone knows that the kingdom's weapons and equipment reserves have been completed ahead of schedule, it is estimated that everyone will become more enthusiastic.

As for the prophecy, it is likely that the nobles of the kingdom will not believe it.

The reason is very simple: it was left behind by the orc prophets.

If nothing else, there is already a group of people in the noble circle of the kingdom at this moment who have made an alternative interpretation of the prophecy.

That is, the orc prophet foresaw the danger of the race in advance, and in order to preserve his own racial heritage, he deliberately left a prophecy to mislead the kingdom.

Logically and completely reasonable, worrying about one's own race is much more convincing than worrying about the mainland.

The real and fake Hudson were all confused and couldn't find any clue at all, let alone the others.

……

Mystical prophecies, starting from the Alpha Kingdom, quickly spread to all parts of the continent.

The believers and the unbelievers quarreled, and neither of the two factions could convince anyone, and it became a hot spot on the mainland for a while.

Elven Forest.

In the third month of the spread of the news, the content of the prophecy also reached the hands of the elven high-ups.

Looking at the prophecy above that was almost the same as that of their own gods, the faces of the elves were very ugly.

If it weren't for the source being unearthed from the ruins, they would all suspect that it was an internal leak.

It's nothing just a prophecy leak, the point is that they are preparing to leave, and if the two things are linked together by the various clans, it is difficult to say whether they can get out of the way.

"Have you heard of the orc prophet?"

The Night Elf Queen was the first to ask.

Having lived for more than a thousand years, she can be regarded as well-informed.

In her impression, from the domination of the continent to the decline of the Orc Empire, there have never been a few wise men, and there are many reckless people.

Prophet is not a profession, but more of an honorific title.

Only when the prophecy left behind is confirmed and has a far-reaching impact on the mainland, will everyone give the person concerned this title.

The soothsayer of the human race, the shaman sacrifice of the orc empire, the star and moon sacrifice of the elves...... They are all in the job of predicting the future, and the best of them are the prophets.

"Maybe the Alpha is deliberately concealing it, and even the name of the orc prophet has not been announced, who knows what the prophecy is left behind.

I wonder if it's the work of a god, such as the Lord of the Dawn.

After the Terran dominated the continent, he had obtained the most abundant power of faith, and it was possible to leave a prophecy after his strength was greatly improved.

It just so happened that the Alpha Kingdom had two of his inheritance artifacts, and it was not difficult for the gods to hide the information inside the artifacts.

Estimating that the matter was too big to be solved by his own strength, the alpha released the news under the pretense of the mouth of the orc prophet. ”

The high priest on the side replied.

When it comes to the time span of 10,000 years, it is not at all something that ordinary beings can peep into.

Even if the gods peep into the future after 10,000 years, they will have to pay a lot of price, and if they are unlucky, they may even fall directly.

If the elven clan was still the overlord of the continent, they would naturally actively find a way to deal with it, but now the continent has changed masters.

Regarding the matter of changing their lives against the sky, the elf high-level officials are not interested.

"The message has been delivered, and it doesn't matter who the source is.

For the sake of safety, everyone will follow suit and arrange for some elves to follow the traces of the mysterious prophet.

At the same time, intensify the surveillance of the Alpha Kingdom to see what they will do next.

The High Priest made a plan, if the plan was leaked in advance, then it would be acceptable to abandon part of the territory and evacuate! ”

The Forest Elf Queen said in a firm tone.

The Rift Project has not been completed in large part because they have too much appetite and want to leave with their current zone of control.

This is not a question of greed, the key is that it is easy to split the land, and the difficult thing is how to leave after being separated from the mainland.

It is the first time in the history of the mainland that the earth's crust is driven by a magic array to create an artificial drifting island on the sea.

Even with the countless years of accumulation of the elves, there is no guarantee that they can drive the land under their feet and reach the desired destination smoothly.

In case the energy runs out halfway, the divided island is left halfway; Or if the land splits too much, causing the waves to crash against the island, these are all risks.

In order for the race to survive, they must take as much territory as possible. Even if you lie down halfway, there is enough land for the race to continue to develop.
