Chapter Thirty-Eight: Xia Ke

This defeat was surprisingly weird, just a few days ago, a snowstorm fell, which is not surprising, in the Gorge of Bones, such weather is a lot in winter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Snowy nights are the most difficult time to sneak attack, because such nights have an excellent line of sight and can be seen far away.

The wind and snow were very strong that night, and the orc raid team was all dressed in white fur, and each orc dragged a dead white sheep with his mouth tied to it, and took advantage of the wind and snow to sneak under the city.

Then it was very simple, he cut off the leg of mutton with a knife, and stuck to the cold stone of the city wall while the hot blood was hot, and after a while, it was hard and frozen together with the city wall, and the remaining sheep body was not wasted, it was cut in half, and it was also stuck to the city wall.

At the cost of less than two hundred sheep, the orcs built six ladders of sheep that could be climbed upwards. When the first group of orcs rushed to the city wall, the general on duty that night even feasted in his tent to celebrate the birthday of his concubine, who was thousands of miles away.

When the shouts of killing had resounded throughout the fortress, Bird jumped up from his bed and responded in a hurry, even the most clever commander could not organize the resistance in a short time, and the fortress was full of blood that night.

Everything was disrupted, and under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, Bird, who broke out of the encirclement, couldn't figure out how he couldn't figure out that there were three generals on duty that night, more than a dozen adjutants, did these people feed the pigs?

How did the orcs get close to the walls? Who could have come up with such an unbelievable solution? Is this still the impression of an orc?

Everything seemed to be providential, and a cold wind and a blizzard were blowing from the north side, and that was exactly the position that needed to be defended.

While the three generals on duty and a dozen lieutenants secretly drank in the tents, the soldiers on duty were sheltered from the wind at the city wall.

This kind of wind and snow can't open their eyes at all, since the official is not there, no one who is a soldier is iron-beaten, so naturally he can be more comfortable, and everyone is not masochistic.

After the orcs captured the Gap of Bones, Bird organized a dozen charges, all of which failed.

Humans and orcs are still much worse in terms of combat effectiveness. In the past, it was possible to block the attack of the opponent with strong fortifications. But on the plains, the battle between the two can only be leveled by numbers.

In other words, it would take two or three times as many troops to be able to compete with the other side. Fortunately, at the beginning of the war, two lines of defense were established, the first at the Gorge of Bones and the second at the Prancing Horse River.

The orcs who occupied the Gap of Bones did not stop advancing, and in just twenty days, Bird's army was forced across the Prancing Horse River and occupied thousands of acres of land on the north bank of the Prancing Horse River.

The terrain of the Prancing Horse River is also steep, but the length of the Prancing Horse River needs to be defended reaches more than ten miles, and after crossing the river, Bird burned down three bridges.

Relying on the fortifications that had been repaired on the opposite bank long ago, as well as the rushing river, this temporarily stopped the progress of the orcs.

An impregnable fortification like the Gap of Bones would be lost, much to Bird's rage. The heads of the generals who had been drunk had their heads cut off, and a dozen of them were placed on a stake outside the tent.

After a heavy snowfall, it was no longer possible to see the frozen head below, anyway, the generals in the military tent knew that one of them was the marshal's own nephew.

The thought of two cities on the other side of the river falling into the hands of the other was a pins and needles, because it was so sudden that less than half of the people could be evacuated, and Bird did not dare to think about the inhumane treatment of the remaining people.

One can imagine how fierce the imperial capital had a quarrel over this defeat, even if it was far away from the border, Bird still learned through secret channels, and on that night, the old king Sharp smashed the cup three times.

As a forty-something who only ascended to the throne, Sharp's political achievements are far less dazzling than his means of competing for the throne.

After the inexplicable violent deaths of his two younger brothers, Sharp, as the sole heir to the throne, succeeded in ascending to the throne and began his reign for twenty years.

Cruel, cunning, selfish, ruthless, all the qualities that a king has, this one possesses, so Bird does not dare to imagine what will happen when he defeats the orcs one day.

Compared to the oppressive air on Bird's side, the orcs on the other side of the river were drinking and celebrating. The difficulty that had held the orcs back for thirty years had finally been overcome, and it was an unprecedented victory.

The two cities and dozens of towns and villages were looted with supplies, which filled several super tribes advocating the alliance this time.

The royal leaders of the lion, bear, tiger, minotaur, and wolf clans sat together to celebrate this unprecedented victory.

Sitting with the leaders of several major tribes, there was a young Terran boy in purple clothes, chatting and laughing with the orc leaders around him.

This is like a lamb falling into the wolves, but instead calling the wolves brothers, full of disobedience.

The girl of the fox clan on the side fell into his arms and smiled coquettishly, and from time to time handed over a peeled grape, the young man's hand had reached into his clothes, and he didn't know what kind of sensitive existence he kneaded, which made the girl in his arms look like silk and moan.

The boy raised his head, and a deep scar was embedded diagonally on his forehead, which became more and more red and shiny under the stimulation of alcohol.

With eyebrows like swords and a lion's nose and a wide mouth, if Marshal Bird was present, he would have been surprised to find that his face was strikingly similar to that of Prince Charlotte, who died of a violent illness more than ten years ago.

"His Highness's strategy is really a clever plan, and this time he was able to break through the Gorge of Bones, all thanks to His Highness. ”

"The Tiger King has won the prize, and it is the warriors who have worked hard to achieve this big victory. The young man bowed slightly to the Tiger King, and said modestly.

"This acquisition can already initially meet the needs of the tribe, but it is really annoying to hate Bird's old dog, biting by the Prancing Horse River, not retreating a step. The bear king on the side answered.

"What King Bear said is very true, since his father was assassinated by the old thief Sharp, this king was desperately rescued by the old servant, and only then did he escape the clutches of the old ghost. Over the years, the king has traveled all over the towns and cities of the principality, and is confident that he knows the defense of the principality well, and Bird now wants to rely on the Prancing Horse River to stop the army, knowing that there will always be loopholes in the defense line of more than ten miles. Natural hazards such as the Gorge of Bones have been overcome, and presumably the small Prancing Horse River is only a matter of time. ”

"Your Highness is very right. If we can break through the barrier of the Prancing Horse River, then the land for thousands of miles behind will no longer be able to stop us. ”

The wolf king who spoke, the "wolf map", is already very old, as a wolf clan, only the strongest can serve as the king, but the "wolf map" in front of him is designated by the wolf god himself.

"I hope that when the time comes, you will not forget that in the face of the oath made by the beast gods, when the time comes, the Wild Continent and the Tulip Principality will merge together, and the human race and the beast race will coexist peacefully. ”

"In the face of the oath made by the beast god, all the orcs will naturally obey it. When the time comes, he will definitely support His Royal Highness Xia Ke to become the king of the human race. ”

The boy was the youngest son of Prince Charlotte. More than ten years ago, first his most beloved father, Prince Charlotte, died inexplicably, and then his uncle Sharp ascended the throne.

I thought that all the misfortunes had passed, but all the changes happened in the third year of Sharp's reign, and Sharp raised the butcher's knife that he had held in his hand for a long time.

When the king's guards surrounded the palace and searched for secret letters about the so-called collaboration with the orcs from the secret room behind his father's bedroom, the whole palace was plunged into bloodshed without any trial.

At that time, everyone didn't expect that the inconspicuous horseman in the palace, Luo Pu, turned out to be a seventh-level martial artist, desperately saving himself who had fallen in a pool of blood, and broke out of the encirclement at the cost of finally losing a left arm.

It was at that time that he learned the truth, his father did not die of illness, and when the prince spit out the first mouthful of black blood, Luo Pu guarded by his side.

As a prince, an existence that once wanted to grasp the king's scepter, there are always various forces, both bright and dark. Luo Pu is the leader of the forces in the shadows.

His father's last order when he was dying was to ask Luo Pu to protect himself and not to think about avenging him. Even Luo Pu believed that the matter had passed with the death of Prince Charlotte, and after Charlotte's death, no one had the strength to fight for the succession to the throne, so why raise a butcher's knife against orphans and widows?

In the remaining ten years, Xia Ke was under the escort of Luopu, while learning martial arts, while traveling all over the empire's large and small cities, taking over the remnants of the power.

Sharp's minions have stretched far enough, and many underground forces have been destroyed, but many of the systems established by Prince Charlotte at that time were single-line contacts, which allowed many people to survive.

The survivors are all sorts of people. Some are afraid of Sharp's strength, and have gone incognito, and some even want to exchange their own and Luopu's heads for the glory and wealth in Sharp's hands.

After seeing all kinds of people and experiencing all the things that ordinary people can't imagine, Xia Ke grew up quickly.

What made Xia Ke haunted the most was the power of the Namib Desert, which should have been the strongest force under his command.

Luopu's own brother Locke was incognito, relying on the prince's continuous financial support, recruiting the best samurai, and after more than ten years of forbearance, he finally unified the thieves of Namib.

Heaven is not on his side, Locke provoked a wizard who was only a third-level wizard, such an existence, kill it, kill it. At that time, there were a dozen such beings in the palace.

But this time he kicked on the iron plate, and who knew that this samurai actually had a teacher who could be compared to the gods. If there is such an existence, Xia Ke will take this line even if he does everything he can, but it is already too late.

When the other party brutally executed the Locke family and several confidants he sent to death by the most cruel means, the deep feud had been settled, and there was no room for recovery.
