Translator: 549690339
This year’s summer in Molendo was a rainy summer. As they walked along the Empire Avenue, they could see crops growing well everywhere. It was an eye-catching sight, but now it was a complete mess… …
On the third day after Molendo was captured, under the command of their leader, Holt, the Gale tribe gathered the population, food, and ironware in a radius of 100 miles to Molendo. The immature crops were also forcefully harvested, those that could not be harvested were immediately set on fire.
!!
As they walked along the main road, they could only see scorched earth everywhere. The Morondor Mountains, which had been prosperous for hundreds of years, had been ruined so badly just because of an invasion. War… Was always so destructive… …
At this moment, in the city of Morondor, the people who had just been captured did not have the time to react to the grief of their homes being destroyed and their loved ones being separated from the world. They were whipped by these vicious orcs and were constantly using rammed earth to thicken the city walls day and night!
Due to the special terrain of Molendo, it was a famous pass in the south, but it did not have much defense against the inner walls of the empire. The city walls were far from being as majestic and solid as the pass, it was almost just a symbolic decorative wall.
Such a wall might not be able to withstand a round of fireballs from the arcane wizards… …
In order to defend the city before the reinforcements arrived, Holt personally supervised the project on the spot. In order to increase efficiency, he even promised the captured humans that as long as they could complete the project within two days.., he would grant them freedom and allow them to take away a captured child!
It was a rule in the grasslands that the orcs did not kill children. For countless years, no matter how much they hated the humans, this rule had never been broken. At least in the mouths of the bards.., the orcs of these large tribes still adhered to this rule.
Thus, the humans who had lost all hope rekindled hope. For the sake of survival, for freedom, and for their children who might still be alive, they worked hard day and night!
This promise made by the chief puzzled many orcs in the tribe. Orcs valued honor, especially Lord Holt, who was the leader of a tribe. His words could be said to be true to his word. Even when facing an enemy tribe, these words could be said.., they could not go back on their words!
“Don’t mind these small matters…”. Facing the doubts of his subordinates, Holt smiled and said, “Compared to the big matter of being able to defend Morondor, the lives of these lowly humans are insignificant. Only by giving them hope can they work hard. What we need to do now is to fight for time, not to worry about whether these lowly humans are temporarily free or not.”
After pausing for a moment, he turned to the shaman beside him and said, “We just received a message from the falcon that has infiltrated Cordoville. There seems to be no movement from the humans. According to the normal speed of the humans, it would take at least five days to travel from Cordoville to here. It has already been three days since we took down Molundo, and their troops have yet to set off? “The efficiency seems to be slower than I thought!”
“That’s normal, respected Chief!”The old shaman looked at the young chief with a gentle smile, he explained carefully, “Humans rely too much on magic, and their communication relies on their so-called arcana crystals. They have completely lost the means to tame birds and send messages. The energy storm directly affected the energy magnetic field of most of the southern provinces, making their magic useless. The news that Molendon was captured did not spread out immediately. This can be known from the fact that the humans took down the surrounding towns without any preparation.”
“Does that mean that the humans are still in the Dark?”Holt raised his thick eyebrows.
“That’s not to the extent of…”. “…”the old priest shook his head. “This operation was too hasty. We simply do not have enough troops to wipe out all the human knights in molendor. Many of them managed to break out of the encirclement and escape. Although the wolf cavalry chasing them from the empire’s main road managed to kill quite a number of them, it is clear that some of them managed to escape successfully.”
“Well…”Holt nodded, but then he said, “It is indeed two days slow to send messages by human, but Cordoville hasn’t sent any troops yet. It seems too quiet…”. He paused for a moment and said, “Is there something wrong with Cordoville’s arcane enchantment, so they don’t dare to act Rashly?”
The old priest nodded in satisfaction, he smiled and said, “Your Highness, you are wise. The humans in the southern province are different from those in the north. They have been at ease for a long time because of the existence of Morondor. This is the main reason why we can take down Morondor so easily. The people here have no sense of war at all. They have even become the backline of some human knights. In such an atmosphere, the castellan of Cordoville would not dare to act rashly without knowing the information. I am afraid that he is still afraid that we will not be able to attack them and set up a defense in time. If he wants to send troops, he will have to wait for the reinforcements from the imperial capital!”
“Coleman, you have a point!”Holt nodded in agreement. “As expected of an old priest with profound knowledge…”
“The chief praises me too much…”the old priest said with a smile, he was not proud. As an old man of the tribe, his seniority was even higher than the previous chief, even though the current chief was wiser than the previous chiefs he had seen, however, this did not mean that he would be complacent because of a compliment from such a person who could be considered as his grandson.
“Old Priest, are you saying that the enchantment of Cordoville has also failed?”An orc with a burly figure and a glaring scar on his face interrupted, “Then why don’t we just take that place as well?”
The orcs’faces were burning with excitement when they heard that. Taking down Morondor had been too smooth, allowing them to realize how vulnerable these humans were without the support of magic. At this moment, their confidence swelled, and when they heard this suggestion.., they were instantly moved.
The old priest frowned when he saw this, but before he could open his mouth to speak, the chief beside him scolded, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
“With our military strength, taking down Morondor was all thanks to a surprise attack. Cordoville is a city twice the size of Morondor, how can it be so easy to take it down when we are on guard? “Even without the support of magic, our current military strength is not enough to shake it. Going too far is worse than going too far. Are you joking about the fate of our race? “Mondo!”
The Scarred Beastman called Mondo was reprimanded by the chief. His face was as cold as a bucket of cold water. He muttered unhappily, “At that time, everyone thought that taking risks was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”. “Now, I say we take a risk, and you say I’m taking a risk with the fate of the entire clan. You Big Shots really have the right to say anything…”.
“You fool!”Hoult did not get angry because of the other party’s dissatisfaction and complaint. Instead, he glared at him in amusement, then, he asked the old priest modestly, “Sir Old Priest, what do you think we should do next?”
The old priest looked at the other party with satisfaction. It was said that the current chief of the Gale tribe was the wisest chief. After this operation, he agreed with this statement. The other party was able to run thousands of miles just because of his speculation.., he was able to decisively launch a surprise attack on Molundo and make a calm judgment of defense when he obtained a huge victory. With this chief of the Gale tribe, it was fitting for the Gale tribe to prosper!
“The chief’s judgment is very wise. Right now, we should indeed focus our resources on defense and wait for the other tribes at the rear to provide support before deciding on the next step. However, I’m more concerned about the mysterious tribe that the chief mentioned earlier…”. The old priest’s expression was a little solemn as he said, “At this juncture, we can’t have any trouble. Although on the surface, the beastmen must help each other in the war against the humans, the agreement is still an agreement. Sometimes, we’re just afraid that some people might secretly do something!”
“HMM…”. Hoult nodded seriously when he heard this topic. “I’ve already instructed my subordinates to step up their defenses. After this matter is over, I’ll definitely investigate to the end. I’ll let that rat hiding in the dark know that the fish of our Gale tribe aren’t that easy to handle.” “! ! !”
“… … …”
Facing the anger from a hundred miles away, seer naturally couldn’t feel it. He didn’t even have a telepathic connection to sneeze. Of course, even if he knew that there was such a person, he wouldn’t take it to heart. What a joke.., would a dragon care about the roar of an ant?
Cough cough… Even though this dragon could only hide in the dark and develop… …
“Boss, I’m Back!”Rain Girl, Wu Gua, walked into the Lord’s room with a listless face.
“It’s good that you’re back!”Seer smiled and said, “The people from sphere D did not make things difficult for you, right?”
“No…”. Rain Girl, Wu Gua shook her head. “I was captured and tested for a few days. If I could not find anything wrong, they naturally released me. Our country’s government is still very reasonable. If I had known that your genes were encrypted, I would not have worked so hard…”. “…”
“You didn’t ask at first, did you?”Xi Ye smiled. “I have a mission for you.”
“What benefits?”Rainmaiden wugua perked up.
Xi Ye’s mouth twitched under his helmet. “How can you ask for benefits before you’ve even done anything? are all the workers in your country so arrogant?”
“No… This isn’t my current boss, Okay?”Rainmaiden wugua acted cute and said, “I’ve heard that many people in the base have become landlords. I want to be a landlord too…”
“You can have anything you want!”Seer waved his hand.
“Okay then… what is it, Boss?”Rainless immediately said obediently.
“Pick two excellent rangers and ask the Arcanist to cast a transformation spell for you. Pretend to be the human knight Rob and his noble women and go to Cordoville to get information!”
