1433 The depressed orcs diplomatic corps (1)
Just as Yue qianhua reached an agreement with the city Lord and was about to head to the capital of the Morning Star Empire, a group of beastmen hurried over on the path to the maple forest ferry.
Compared to Yue qianhua’s group, who had come on a small battleship and only changed to short-horned deer when they got close to the Morning Star Empire, the orc envoy was in a much worse state.
From their appearance, it was clear that they had experienced a b.l.o.o.d.y battle not long ago. There were still traces of blood on their robes and armor, and they looked quite miserable.
When the fiery red maple forest appeared in front of these orc cultivators, they all showed a trace of relief and couldn’t help speeding up.
“We’ve finally reached the Morning Star Empire. I thought we would die on the way!”
“Don’t worry. Since we’re here, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Holy Dragon City shouldn’t appear again. After all, this is someone else’s territory. They won’t dare to hunt us down so brazenly!”
“If we meet on the battlefield, I will definitely kill a few more Holy Dragon City cultivators to vent my anger!”
A few orc cultivators whispered to each other, and their voices were filled with irrepressible anger.
“We’ve just received news that we’re the only team that has reached the border of the Morning Star Empire. The other teams were ambushed by the Holy Dragon City on the way, and they probably won’t be able to come back!”
The leader of the beastmen diplomat group had a grave expression, and a hint of hatred could be seen in his eyes.
His brothers were in the other teams and had been ambushed three times on the way. The possibility of them coming back alive was almost zero.
Compared to their companions, they were undoubtedly much luckier. They had been able to escape the pursuit through a hidden tunnel and successfully reach the border of the Morning Star Empire.
However, this was only the beginning. In the following process, they still had to try to persuade the n.o.bles in the morning Star Empire to cooperate with the orc Alliance to resist the Holy Dragon city’s invasion.
This was not an easy task. After all, this was not the first time the orc Alliance had dealt with the Morning Star Empire. For some reason, the two sides had always looked down on each other, and the few times they had worked together in history had all ended on bad terms.
Even so, the orc Alliance had no choice but to take the initiative to attack. Once the Holy Dragon City launched an official attack, it would be no different from a disaster for the orc Alliance.
After a period of war, although the orc Alliance had plundered a large amount of resources, they had also paid a heavy price. Nearly a million orc soldiers had died on the battlefield, and countless were injured.
For the orc Alliance, this situation was definitely suitable for them to continue the war, especially against a powerful opponent like the Holy Dragon City.
This was the truth. Although the Holy Dragon City would face more than one enemy, they were still at ease. On the other hand, the Holy Dragon city’s enemies were trembling in fear, not knowing how to deal with it.
The more they knew about the Holy Dragon city’s strength, the more obvious this feeling became. This monster that had suddenly appeared had strength that made them feel uneasy!
It was for this reason that the enemy forces would do everything they could to change the current situation and eliminate this terrifying enemy.
“Your Excellency shaman, we will need you to take action next!”
Looking at the wide river in front of them, the envoy leader called out. Then, an orc dressed as a shaman walked out and danced a strange dance by the river while chanting.
As the incantation spread, the clear river’s surface rippled, and huge fish appeared one after another, staring at the orc cultivators standing on the sh.o.r.e with cold eyes.
When the strange dance ended, the orc shaman took out a dagger and cut a long wound on his arm. Blood immediately gushed out.
The blood dripped down his arm, but when it came into contact with the river water, it quickly dispersed and rushed towards the water beasts and strange fish at the bottom of the river like a living creature.
The water in the river churned. When the water monsters sucked in the orc shaman’s blood, they immediately became drowsy, as if they were drunk, and their bellies were facing the sky.
hurry up and cross the river. Don’t fly over the river, got it? ”
The orcs immediately stepped on the bodies of the fish and jumped across the river. Seeing this, the other beastmen followed one after another, and soon arrived at the other side of the river.
No one asked why they couldn’t fly over the river, because when they crossed the river, they felt a heart-palpitating power coming from the sky above the river.
If someone were to fly past, they would definitely be attacked by this force, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
In fact, many years ago, the orc cultivators had suffered a great loss. They had ignored the warning and jumped into the river, only to be ground into minced meat in the middle of the river and become the food of the water monsters.
After crossing the river, they naturally ran all the way. The orc cultivators were not in the mood to admire the scenery along the way.
The road to the checkpoint wasn’t very far, especially for these Lord-tier and above orc cultivators. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the checkpoint, but they were met with soldiers who were waiting in formation.
Seeing the Morning Star Empire soldiers unsheathing their weapons, the members of the orc diplomat group felt that something was wrong. However, they still stepped forward and revealed their ident.i.ties.
we are a diplomatic mission from the orc Alliance. We would like to meet the city Lord of the border city, Slade. Please allow us to pa.s.s!
The commander of the checkpoint was the one that Yue qianhua and the others had seen before. At this time, he was standing on the top of the wall, looking down at the orc diplomatic mission with a faint smile.
“I’m sorry, but without the permission of the city Lord, no matter who you are, you are not allowed to pa.s.s through the checkpoint!”
The leader of the orcs ‘diplomatic mission frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he continued,”We have a very important matter. Can you make an exception for us?”
The checkpoint commander shook his head, indicating that this was impossible.
The orc captain cursed in his heart and tried to make a few more requests. However, the checkpoint officer only shook his head and refused to see him.
Seeing this, the orc cultivators could only curse loudly while sitting in front of the checkpoint and waiting.
If they knew that the Holy Dragon city’s diplomatic corps had successfully pa.s.sed through this place and were preparing to head to the capital of the Morning Star Empire, they would probably be so angry that they would try to stop them with all their might.
Although they were furious, they knew that they were too weak to pa.s.s this seemingly ordinary barrier. Even if they were lucky enough to pa.s.s it, they would be hunted down by the cultivators of the Morning Star Empire.
After a short discussion, the leader of the orc envoy decided to continue thinking of ways to pa.s.s through the checkpoint. At the same time, he would send a message to the reinforcements behind him to see if they could sneak into the morning Star Empire through other means.
……
After waiting in the border city for two days, Yue qianhua and the others finally received a reply from the royal family, inviting them to go to the heart of the Morning Star Empire.
After receiving the news, Slade immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare flying mounts and personally accompanied Yue qianhua and the others.
Slade had already known about the arrival of the orcs and knew that they would definitely offer attractive conditions for cooperation.
If it was before Yue qianhua and the others arrived, thred might have considered their conditions. But now, he was not interested in them at all.
The only things the orc Alliance could offer were land and precious resources. However, the Morning Star Empire didn’t lack these things at all. Compared to the Holy Dragon city’s offer, they were not even worth mentioning.
Therefore, Slade immediately ordered people to stop the orc diplomat group, to prevent them from deliberately ruining the cooperation with the Holy Dragon City when they were desperate after hearing the news.
With a clear whistle, a group of flying mounts unique to the Morning Star Empire soared into the sky, and under the control of beast tamers, they headed straight for the capital.
The feathers of these flying mounts were very beautiful. When they flew in groups, they looked like a brilliant cloud, which was very spectacular.
In order to prevent being blown off by the wind during the flight, everyone held the rope tightly and formed an energy shield on the surface of their bodies to prevent themselves from being unable to breathe normally.
Riding on flying mounts was actually a rather monotonous and boring process. Other than the initial feeling of novelty, the rest was just a boring one.
After flying through countless villages and towns, and even taking a few breaks during the journey, the group finally arrived at the capital of the Morning Star Empire, Morning Star City, which was located on the vine plain.
