Chapter 370: Razor Ridge
"You throw it!"
"Shut up!"
"you, I said you threw it!"
"Gotcha, throw it!" Grethal let out a low growl, leaning forward, the powerful muscles of his shoulders trembling. His right arm swayed back and forth, his fist forming a vague arc. His right fist stretched out, and small pieces of bone fell from between his fingers and fell to the ground with a gratifying sound.
Brodogo laughed, his lips raised, his fangs visible from the grin. "Haha, it's only one piece!"
"Damn it!" Grethal angrily sat back down on the stone beside him. Brodogo picked up the bones again, shook them in his hand, and threw them up. Grethal didn't know why he had been playing against Brodogo without winning a single game, which was abnormal.
In Gretthal's dictionary, the word "abnormal" no longer seems to have any meaning, although it was not the case before. He looked up at the red sky in front of him, and the sun in the distance was like a burning ball of fire, the same color as the sky.
This is Razor Ridge, the edge of the barren lands of the northern province of the orc tribe. Here, there is only blood-red barren land, lacking rain and dew and moisture, there is not even a decent lawn on the earth, and a few tall Kolai trees stand bare in the scorching red earth, but the leaves that are at least ten meters high, although each one is huge, cannot cast any shade on the ground.
This thriving tree, which often rises tens of meters in height, stands like a huge dry skeleton on the barren land, and is the only tree here. But behind the mountains, not far from here, there is a dense and lush forest.
The foliage is lush and verdant, and the scorching sun is completely separated by the towering trees of the ancient forest, making it a cool place. It's only a few miles away, but inside the forest and outside the forest are two completely different worlds.
But even if it's full of temptation, it's a great place to live. But no orc ever tried to touch that land. Because in that vast primeval forest, there are powerful elves who survive.
The elves have built many cities and watchtowers inside the forest to protect their lands from encroachment. Even the legend of that huge and vast woodland is actually the sacred tree that originated from the legend of the elves.
And the elves are far beyond ordinary races in terms of group strength and individual ability, if it weren't for the limitation of the number of groups, not to mention sweeping a world, at least they could dominate the continent - although the strength of the elves is not weak now, but compared to humans or dragons, it is a little worse after all. But it's not something that the Orc Empire can offend.
Almost all the orcs who tried to enter the forest were treated unkindly, so that no orc in the barren lands, no matter how beautiful the woods were, would have set their sights on the forest.
Grettal pulled his thoughts back to the present, stood up, and casually kicked the ground in front of him. The red dust in front of him lifted up and made his lips feel dry, so he picked up his water bag and took a small sip. His green skin was no longer as shiny because of the dust, but it accentuated his black hair. Aside from this single color, the entire continent seems to be completely engulfed in red. It's like blood.
The whole world is so abnormal.
In fact, the most abnormal thing is that he and Brodogo were asked to stay here, and let them waste their time here playing boring games. He looked up at the sky above him and sighed, feeling a little bored.
He and Brodogo were asked to be stationed here. To protect against neighbors in the forest. Of course, such a move would be meaningless in the eyes of everyone, after all, the elves' peaceful nature is known to all intelligent beings.
On the mainland, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke elves. Then the other party will hardly take the initiative to attack you. Even when some orcs were smuggled into the forest to live, and when this violation of other countries' territory was discovered, the orcs were only violently repatriated.
Grethal believes. If any damn alien life casually enters the land of the Orc Empire to build a house and invade their territory, those stupid fellows will definitely be chopped to pieces by the enraged Orcs.
Standing on the edge of the watchtower at this time, he leaned out and looked at the sky above him, but he was suddenly stunned. In the blue sky, under the blazing sun, the sky, which was originally as clean as the sea, suddenly changed.
Tiny black dots began to appear in the distant sky. Those tiny, winged black dots...... Is it a bird?
Gretal frowned, looking at the small black dot in the distance, a little confused. It's a migratory bird? But it's not the season yet, is it? So many of them, what's flying this way?
"Gretal, it's your turn, what are you doing?"
His companion's impatient urging rang in his ears, and seeing that he did not respond, Brodogo reached out and nudged him, signaling that it was his turn. But Gretal ignored Brodogo, and instead half-crouched, continuing to observe the approaching black spots, his eyes full of confusion.
As those black dots gradually approached, the size of those black dots gradually expanded, and the complete posture of the other party was gradually revealed. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and staggered back a few steps.
He could barely believe his eyes, his face was full of shock, and he cried out in a lost voice.
"Dragon...... It's a dragon!"
Grettal's panicked cries alarmed his companion, and Brodogo rushed out, asking what had happened to him.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Grettal did you see the demon coming, why are you so alarmed?"
Grettal didn't bother to argue with his companions, he pointed to the sky above him with a trembling hand, his lips trembling, "Dragon...... Look, there are so many dragons...... Black Dragon. ”
Brodogo was a little confused by the trembling appearance of his companion, who knew quite well that his companion was not a cowardly coward. It can even be said that Gretal is a very brave orc, and he will not back down in the face of even the most terrible beasts.
So what was it that could make him so scared? Dragon? And a black dragon? But even a black dragon didn't need to be so scared, could there be something strange about that black dragon?
With this curious confusion, Brodogo stepped out of the watchtower and followed Grettal's gaze towards the sky. Then, his body froze, and the unspeakable fear gripped his heart, making his body tremble.
It was not cowardly fear, but the knee-jerk reaction of intelligent beings in the face of indescribable fear.
In the vast and clear sky, there were no clouds and one clear, as clean as water. Yet at this moment, the clean sky was tainted by a terrifying darkness.
Black dragons, an endless number of black dragons flew from the distant sky, their huge bodies obscuring the sun above the sky, leaving shadows one after another on the barren and barren land.
It wasn't just one or two black dragons, it was tens of thousands...... Even more black dragons covered almost the entire sky, like an endless tide of the sea, and like a huge dark cloud, drifting above the heavenly dome.
Huge wings spread out in the sky, and each black dragon was far larger than ordinary creatures. Any black dragon here can easily destroy ordinary cities if placed on the mainland, making countless human beings tremble with fear and lose their homes.
But at this time, these black dragons were so numerically clustered together, turning into a terrifying legion that was about to overwhelm their enemies.
And in the foreground, a beautiful dragon is flying. The streamlined body is elegant and well-proportioned, the black dragon scales glitter in the golden sunlight, and the beautiful eyes are filled with deep and charming smoke clouds.
And the most striking thing is the human standing on top of the giant dragon's head.
The tall body is well-proportioned, and the undulating muscle curves are full of strength even from the aesthetic point of view of the orcs. The long purple hair fluttered in the wind in the sky, and there was no luxurious and dazzling equipment, just ordinary clothes, but the kind of momentum on the other party's body was something that only a strong leader would have.
In the past, Brodogo had only seen this kind of momentum in the great generals of the Orc Empire...... Even Brodogo had the illusion that even the most powerful general of their orc empire seemed so weak and weak in front of this human being, it was not worth mentioning.
That kind of powerful aura, even if it is surrounded by a group of black dragons, is still dazzling and dazzling, and it can attract everyone's attention at the first time.
Obviously, this purple-haired powerful human is the leader of this group of black dragons. As for why the other party came to the barren land with such a large number of black dragons, the two orcs did not know, but they hoped that the purpose of this group of dragons was not them.
Because when those huge beasts aim their claws at their enemies, no matter who their enemies are, they will usher in the most terrifying end.
In front of the watchtower, the two orcs stiffened their heads as they watched the dragon's legions fly overhead. This process lasted for more than half an hour, and the number of dragons was huge.
Neither Brodogo nor Gretal dared to move, they watched as the legion of the black dragon roared into the elven forest, but they did not even dare to make a sound. I am afraid that I will accidentally anger the group of giant beasts above my head and bring disaster to this small watchtower to the top.
When all the black dragons disappeared, the two orcs finally came to their senses and hurriedly ran back to the sentry tower to send a message to the nearest city about the movements of this group of black dragons, when a terrifying loud noise suddenly sounded in the distant sky, followed by a violent tremor of the earthquake and the mountain shaking.
Brodogo stumbled out of the watchtower, looking at the distant elven forest with a frightened expression on his face.
"Hit ...... The elves and the black dragon are fighting!" (To be continued......)
