If the celebration of the day is just an unbridled carnival. Then the night is the highlight of the festival, because on the night of the festival, important divination ceremonies will be held.

It is a ritual of selected shamans to sacrifice blood and life to Philis by beheading prisoners or captives. The orcs believed that through this sacred ritual, they could communicate with the god of war and thus obtain the blessing of the god of war.

Therefore, around this bloody sacrifice, the night of the sacrifice has an extremely important position in the hearts of the orcs.

After a long day of revelry, even energetic orcs will feel tired. And Fangfang City, which had been boiling for a day, gradually quieted down.

However, around the huge temple beneath the statue of Philis, there was an air of sacredness and solemnity at this time. The square in front of the temple is brightly lit, and countless torches reflect half of the mountain. So much so that from a distance, the huge statue of the god of war is like standing in a sea of fire.

In the center of the square, there stands a huge stone platform, which has been swept clean, but it is soaked in a layer of dark brown that deeply conceals the true color of the stone.

Around this stone platform, countless orcs gathered around the square, sitting or lying, and the black oppression even extended to the hill behind the temple. In order to watch the sacred ritual of divination, almost half of the city's residents gathered here, and the fanged city under the mountain also became almost pitch black, with few lights.

In the inner circle of the square, a circle of simple seats was built with wooden planks, and a large group of strong minotaur soldiers separated them from the orcs who were watching, and it was the place where the orc nobles with status watched the ceremony.

At this time, Raymond, escorted by several soldiers, walked through the thick crowd and walked towards his mother. Due to the sacredness of the ritual of divination, even if Bathter was his attendant, he could not go near the inner layer.

On the seat facing the entrance of the temple sat Queen Amada. An orc was standing beside her, whispering something urgently.

After listening to his report, Armada gave an order, and the orc nodded, and then hurried away. At this time, Amada saw Raymond and beckoned him to pass.

"Mom, what just happened?" Raymond sat down next to Armada.

"It's nothing, the bandit group that had been harassing the border before suddenly appeared in the tribe near Fangs City. Armada said casually: "I probably want to take advantage of the festival to rob the tourists." ”

"Then send the wolf cavalry, with their mobility, they will definitely be able to eliminate those thieves. Raymond suggested.

Armada shook her head, "No, I've already sent a team of minotaurs. ”

Raymond was taken aback: "Minotaur? why?"

The Minotaurs are known as the kings of melee combat due to their strong hand-to-hand combat and attacking abilities, but the mobile surname is not their forte. It was strange that Armada had given up the wolf cavalry and sent them to hunt out the thieves.

"Because at this time, I will never let any wolf cavalry out of my sight. Armada said slowly.

Mom really kept a guard against werewolves, and Raymond couldn't help but put his mind at ease. After thinking about it, he said again: "However, at this time, if the forces of the Minotaur are divided, if... I mean, if the werewolves make a fuss, do we have enough people to suppress it?"

"Oh, do you think werewolves will rebel?" Amada gave him a surprised look.

Raymond hurriedly smiled to hide the past: "I'm just talking casually." ”

"If you think so, are you still afraid of that old wolf?" Armada patted Raymond on the back proudly: "If you can't even see this, is it still my son." However, if the werewolves want to make trouble, they have to pass them first. ”

She pointed to the orc people who were surrounded by darkness: "Twenty years ago, the rebellion in Verona devastated our vitality, and we lost the opportunity to occupy the Dinar Empire, and I don't know how many people resented us. Now he wants to do it again, unless he can get their support, even if he pulls Haken's stupid fool, he can't do it. ”

At this time, Raymond finally understood why, with Armada's shrewdness, he didn't care about Verona's wooing of Haken, because without the support of the orc people, the werewolves would never dare to make trouble in Fangs City, otherwise they would kill themselves.

It can be said that the residents of Fangs City are the best talisman for Armada.

I'm still so worried, it turns out... Jiang is really still old and spicy. Raymond sighed, it seems that the previous arrangements were indeed in vain.

Just when Raymond was full of emotion for his mother's wrist, he suddenly heard Armada say casually: "By the way, I heard that you applied to Robard to take the West City Gate to practice, right?"

"Uh..." What I thought was a secret thing was suddenly revealed, and Raymond's quick wit couldn't help but be stunned.

How would Mom know? Raymond's mind raced, and he jerked to the left. Sure enough, not far away, the old minotaur who had become a traitor turned red, pretended not to see it, and looked up to count the stars.

"Don't glare at Robard, how could he hide it from me. Seeing that Raymond was glaring at the old minotaur with a murderous gaze, Armada snorted.

"Ha, actually, I'm just..." Anyway, I didn't do anything excessive, at most I was scolded.

Amada smiled softly: "Silly boy, why do you have to prove anything, who dares to be disrespectful to you one day with me?" In this way, after the festival, take me to see what tricks you have done." ”

Hearing this, Raymond's heart immediately relaxed, it seemed that Armada, like Robard, thought that he was doing this just to gain recognition.

Woohoo, God of War blesses, which shows how important a perfect lie is sometimes.

He couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Ahaha, of course, you are welcome to visit at any time." At the same time, he had already begun to think about how to inform Luz and change those arrangements to a welcoming meeting.

At this time, the orcs of various tribes arrived one after another, and they saluted Amada from far and near.

Due to his noble status, Verona's location was not far from Armada, and before taking his seat, the werewolf unexpectedly walked over to this side.

Because his bad relationship with Armada was well known, countless eyes from far and near glanced at this side for a while, and several people became the focus of attention.

"Your Majesty, may you be favored by the God of War tonight. Ignoring the suspicious gazes around him, the old werewolf approached Armada and bowed his head respectfully, which immediately provoked a buzz of chatter.

Seeing Verona take the initiative to bow his head, Armada couldn't help but let out a coquettish smile: "Hehehe, Verona, you are too polite." You've been hiding in Haken's house all the time, and I thought you wouldn't be here tonight. ”

Verona was unmoved by Amada's sarcasm, and he smiled, "Tonight will be of great significance to the orcs, how could I miss it." ”

Hearing the words in Verona's words, Armada raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a humble voice: "Ah, Your Majesty Armada, you... You're as beautiful tonight as ever. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was a kobold man dressed in exaggerated gorgeous clothes, and even a circle of ridiculous multicolored feathers stuck in the back of his head, and he didn't know when he came closer. He rubbed his hands nervously while carefully observing Armada's face, with an expression that wanted to flatter, but was afraid of making her angry.

The kobold suddenly ran out to interrupt and immediately rushed away the tense atmosphere, and the orcs around him all laughed loudly. This guy is the patriarch of the kobold clan, but despite this, in the eyes of other orcs, he is just a ridiculous existence like other kobolds.

Not to mention anything else, just the clothes that are dressed like pheasants in order to cover up his inferiority complex are enough to make people laugh off their big teeth, not to mention that he is trying to pretend to be Sven, but he says the wrong words.

"Hmph, do you dare to come here with such a piece of garbage?" Verona snorted in disgust.

In fact, as the patriarch of the clan, there is a place for this kobold on the inside of the square, but everyone automatically ignores this. Not only did he not obediently hide in his corner, but he also dared to come to Armada's side, and everyone was laughing at the kobold's self-inflicted humiliation.

Sure enough, hearing Verona's taunt, the kobold laughed extremely embarrassedly, and the body that was already close quickly shrank back.

Armada glanced at Verona, his eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly smiled and beckoned to the kobold: "Dave, come to me." ”

I didn't expect Her Majesty to greet her personally, and the kobold who called Dave showed an expression of disbelief. When he was sure he had heard correctly, he glanced around proudly, and then trotted up with his tail wagging.

With the pride of Verona, how could it be possible to stand with the kobolds. He snorted angrily and turned to his seat.

And Amada was so angry that he didn't even look at Verona, and said to the kobold: "Dave, although you are also a canine clan, you are much better than some guys." ”

Although he knew that Amada was a heart, he was compared to a kobold, and with Verona's scheming, he couldn't help but turn blue with anger.

Brave enough to come to see Her Majesty, but he didn't expect to be treated with such courtesy, Dave was so flattered that he was so moved that he was about to cry: "Your Majesty, I... I swear to be loyal to you forever. ”

"Alright, alright. Armada, accustomed to his surname, wanted to pat him for comfort, but when he saw the kobold's body, he retracted his hand in disgust: "Go back quickly, the ritual is about to begin." ”

Here, Amada sent the kobold with his surname, and Raymond looked around boredly. Suddenly, he noticed that Verona, who had returned to his seat, exchanged glances with Haken from a distance, and the latter looked at this side with mockery and disdain in his eyes.

"Something is wrong, something must be wrong. Seeing the small movements of the two in his eyes, Raymond's uneasy premonition reappeared.

Could it be that something is really going to happen tonight?

At this moment, a melodious horn suddenly interrupted Raymond's thoughts.
