“Did you see it clearly, master Megan?”In the hall of the Aristocrats’garden in Cordovia, a group of empire generals were frowning, their faces showing a serious expression. “Even the Fire clan is involved?”
Beside them, a group of empire mages were also nervously staring at the person who was being questioned.
The one being questioned was an old man wearing a silk robe. The old man looked very old, like those old n.o.bles in the South who were about to die. And this old man who looked so weak.., was the empire’s current chief arcanist, Hollin. Megan!
After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, his temperament immediately changed. Although he still looked old, his pair of deep blue eyes were deep and bright, they were shining with mysterious light like stars, giving people the feeling that he was extraordinary in an instant.
The old man slowly said, “Although the magnetic field is chaotic, Molundo still has some equipment that can be used. I used the eye of Sager to activate the arcane crystal on the stone statue on the city wall of Molundo. Although I didn’t see it very clearly, I still saw the general situation. The reinforcements came from the Thunder tribe, the Earth tribe, and the flame tribe… “…”. “I’m sure I’m not mistaken about their flags…”. “…”
“Sword Saint? I’ve been wanting to meet him for a long time!”Sitting in the left row.., a burly blonde middle-aged man chuckled and touched a beautifully crafted necklace on his neck. “I’m only missing a piece of the sword saint’s Skull!”
The mages on the right row frowned as they looked at the man. They did not hide the disgust on their faces.
It was not just the mages. Even the Knights, who were generals, could see that even though they were sitting in the same row, they were clearly distancing themselves from him.
This burly man did not fit in with the people around him. He was not wearing a luxurious armor like the other knights. Instead, he was wearing a coa.r.s.e cloth coat like a weed. His large chest muscles were exposed, his body emitted a very strong smell of blood.
Only that necklace of his did not match his clothes that looked like a weed. It was exquisite and gorgeous. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that the material of this necklace was obviously made of bones. Those who knew the goods would be able to tell, these materials were all made from the brightest part of the biological skull.
This person was called Ganzer. The name Skull Breaker was given by him. This guy was originally a desperado in the underground arena. Every time he fought with someone, regardless of whether the other party admitted defeat or not, he would ruthlessly smash the other party’s head, he accurately took out the brightest part of the skull and made it into a collectible.
After that, he was valued by the king for his talent. He bought him and allowed him to enter the Imperial Knight Academy for further studies. This guy only spent a year to successfully graduate. On the day of the graduation martial arts demonstration, he publicly smashed his teacher’s head, he also removed his skull!
According to the laws of the empire, he should have been skinned alive. However, the king still valued his courage and potential and allowed him to go to the northern battlefield to redeem himself. This decision had initially caused great dissatisfaction among the Knights of the empire. Even now.., he had made outstanding military achievements and was already qualified to be a duke. However, many knights of the academy still did not like him and kept a distance from him.
However, it had to be said that this guy did not disappoint the king in terms of bravery. After entering the northern battlefield, this guy had rapidly grown to the level of a gold knight within a few years, the necklace on his neck was known to have the skulls of at least thirteen elite orc officers, including a member of the royal family of the Hammer of destruction!
The reputation of the skull-breaker was not only in the human army, but also in the orcs’side. It was now well-known!
“The clan of the fire tribe is still within my expectations…”. The old Duke, Rox, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, “The reason why I requested so many gold knights from the king and even called Gunze over was to prevent this situation. What I didn’t expect was that the Earth tribe had actually partic.i.p.ated in the battle … “…”pausing for a moment, he frowned and said, “Have you checked all the terrifying dragon crossbows?”
Although the chances of the Earth tribe partic.i.p.ating in the war were relatively small, without accurate information, the old Duke still managed to secure dozens of terrifying dragon crossbows from the empire.
This was a huge crossbow machine that was complicated to a.s.semble. It was also enchanted with magic power and was specially used to fight against the weight units of the beastmen. However, carrying it was very troublesome. Basically, long-distance transport would have to be disa.s.sembled and shipped separately. When it reached the designated location, it would be a.s.sembled, however, due to the fact that many of the details and structures were too precise, it would often fail when it was rea.s.sembled. Usually, it would have to be retried before a big battle.
“We have already tested it. There are a total of 62 terrifying dragons. Thirty-four of them have no problems with the test firing. The rest are still in the process of being adjusted…”
Hearing this probability, ROX’s expression turned ugly. He said in a deep voice, “Then we’ll wait for another day. We have to ensure that at least 50 giant crossbows can be fired normally!”
“Yes, I’ll rush the progress right away,”the officer in charge of logistics quickly agreed.
Rox said, “The location of the decisive battle will definitely be the location of the beastmen on the Mordor Plains that connects to the Empire main road. That’s because it’ll be easier for them to utilize the advantage of their cavalry. However, there will definitely be ambushes along the empire main road. They won’t give up on the opportunity to disrupt the army’s logistics. The scouts will be led by Gunze. They will clear the obstacles on the empire main road to prevent the Wolf Cavalry of the Gale Division from ambushing. We must ensure that the terrifying dragon crossbows arrive safely.”
Ganze frowned slightly. “Are you kidding me? You want me to do the job of a Scout?”
Rox glanced at him slightly, but he was not angry, instead, he explained slowly, “I know you’re not good at it. I only asked you to go to ensure the top-tier combat strength. In order to prevent our logistics from being so safe, the other party will definitely send experts to snipe our scouts on the empire’s main road. The sword saint of the Fire clan will most likely be a.s.signed to this kind of task. If You Go, you won’t be asked to track them, but to deal with the powerful ones.”
“You better not be trying to scare me!”Ganze said, “If I can’t find the root of the expert’s feathers, I will smash your head when I Come Back!”
“How dare you!”The surrounding generals glared at him, but Rox waved his hand to signal them to be quiet. Then, he turned to master Megan and said, “Master, didn’t you see the flag of the Blackwater Tribe?”
Megan shook her head. “No sign of Blackwater reinforcements…”
“That’s weird…”a hint of doubt flashed across Rox’s eyes as he muttered, “That tribe is known for being a troublemaker. Why would they pa.s.s up this opportunity…”
At the thought of this, a sense of alarm rose in my heart…
———— —
Neither the humans nor the orcs had expected that the Blackwater tribe would arrive sooner than expected. Almost on the third day after the chieftain of the Gale tribe called for help, the Blackwater tribe arrived.
At this moment, the th.o.r.n.y forest was filled with an extremely disgusting stench. The stench was so strong that it almost covered the entire valley. Within the valley, there was a dark ma.s.s of half-human and half-snake monsters coiled around the shady area of the valley, from time to time, they would make hissing sounds that caused one’s entire body to shiver.
If there were orcs here, they would be able to recognize them at a glance. These were all high-grade species of the Blackwater tribe! !
No one would have thought that the Blackwater tribe members would have already sneaked in long ago.
However, what made people curious was their method. Most of the high-grade species of the Blackwater tribe were huge in size. The more powerful royal family members were at least ten meters long, it was obviously impossible to sneak in from outside the Molundo impregnable pa.s.s with this kind of body size.
At this moment, a huge serpent-man was circling around the middle of the mountain. The huge serpent-man’s body seemed to have circled the entire mountainside. It was the current chief of the Blackwater tribe, Vasana!
“Chief, you’re Right!”A few giant serpent-men were circling around the side. Although they were not as big as their chief, they were still big enough.
The serpent-man with a pitch-black body and a gourd-like tail stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, “After Molendor’s barrier disappeared, this underground cave can be opened… I’m afraid that no one expected that we would be on the battlefield, right?”
The huge serpent-man’s upper body was like a giant, and his eyes were as big as lanterns. At this moment, the chief’s orange-yellow cold eyeb.a.l.l.s were rolling slightly, his voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said, “Wait for the opportunity. This time, whether it’s humans or beasts, they can only become stepping stones for our great Blackwater tribe!”
“Vasana!”All the clansmen revealed excited lights as they shouted the name of their chief, which was also the totem of the Blackwater tribe.
Vasana: the legendary snake G.o.d that could surround the entire continent. The Blackwater clansmen have always believed that the G.o.d that they believe in was hidden in the sea. The previous chieftains would use this belief as a name after swallowing the previous chieftain!
“Remember, you must be careful of revealing your whereabouts. If any orcs or humans enter this place by mistake, kill them immediately!”
“Yes!”A few royal snake-people immediately replied respectfully.
“Lord Vasana! !”Suddenly, the snake-people who had promised earlier widened their eyes and pointed at the top of the mountain where the chief was coiled. They stuttered as if they had seen a ghost, “You… you… There are orcs on top…”
Vasana’s brows, which were covered in snake phosphorus, immediately furrowed. These few days, they had already checked up and down several times, but they did not find any traces of humans or humans. Why…
She stretched her body and turned around to look at the top of the mountain. Then, her entire body shook. She did not know when, but the sky there had shattered like a broken window. Then, a large group of tall and strong green orcs walked out one after another.
“d.a.m.n, it stinks… What’s going on?”A group of players covered their noses and revealed a disgusted expression. Then, they saw the snake-people on the mountainside. The players were stunned. “Eh? Is this… killing… Monsters?”
