268. Chapter 268 The King of Ten Thousand Axes
November 20, 588, Elon Calendar.
[Judgement of the Throne of the Bone] Mission countdown: 142 days.
Several heavy snowfalls have completely entered winter, but at the same time, we are seven hundred miles west... After crossing the Naihemian prairie, the orc kingdom seems to remain dry and cool in early autumn.
.
Affected by the grassland climate, there is almost no rain in the orc kingdom in winter, and the temperature is not as low as below zero, but it is a bit chilly when night comes. Even if the bright starry sky is above your head, the orcs who are used to be can only curse a few words of weather.
, and then wrap the sheepskin clothes full of smell.
Chief Rohal was no exception. At this time, he was sitting in his tent and hung the wide wolf-skin shawl around his neck. He asked in a bad tone: "What did the tribe of Gresh do?
”
Standing in front of him was the witch doctor Busal. Since Sarota's death, Busal has become Rohal's first deputy, so the chief would discuss with him no matter big or small matters.
"Not only Graysh was a little dissatisfied, but it seemed that the Bloodhoof Tribe on the other side was brewing some conspiracy, but their people were not as powerful as the warriors of our tribe, so this was not worth worrying."
The witch doctor of Busar is one of the best among his kind. He practices the "recovery" witchcraft because he always pulls the injured warrior back from the brink of death. He has always been popular among tribal witch doctors. Sarota is missing
The second month later, he became Chief Rohal's most trusted deputy, thus living a "powerful" life - eating whatever he wanted and a woman he wanted.
Of course, let’s not mention how terrible the existence of a female orc has a heavy taste. But Busal’s “favorite” is obvious to all. At this moment, Rohal believed in his words completely and nodded without doubt.
He said: "I like this result. If they are willing to provoke, they will provoke. Who is willing to go out and fight desperately in the middle of winter? I really don't know what these guys think..."
"Our wolf cavalry is always the most powerful, and those humble guys are not worth mentioning at all!"
Busal's naked flattery was not technical, but it still made Rohal laugh. His big yellow teeth had an unpleasant bad breath and his image was rude.
"When next spring, I will smash these provocative guys one by one and make them the next Blood Spear tribe!"
Rohal's eyes were flashing with bloodthirsty light, and he made this "battle plan" with great enthusiasm.
Obviously, the "Blood Spear" tribe that once clashed with the "Rohar Hammer" tribe has become dust in history - and when recalling the battle a few months ago, Rohar remembered a figure who made a lot of contributions.
Come…
"Busar, that apprentice of Sarota... went where did you go?"
The chief's question made the corners of Busal's mouth twitch slightly. He tried to calm down and replied in a low voice: "Zoro seems to have something to do recently. He took his people to the west, as if it was in the Gondola Mountains, perhaps collecting herbs.
Go…”
"College herbs? What can I collect this season?"
"Some precious herbs are indeed available in winter..." Busal's lying was very poor, and he was nervous and swallowed his saliva.
After hearing this, Rohal had no doubts and had just spoken to other places, making Busar feel relieved...
Speaking of which, Zoro did go to the Gondola Mountains, but he went to a place where birds did not shit, not because he wanted to collect herbs, but because he was "excluded" by Busal and several witch doctors.
In the previous battle to destroy the "Blood Spear" tribe, Zoro, the future "King of Ten Thousand Axes", fought bravely with the remnants of Sarota, and soon made great contributions and became the biggest contributor to defeat the enemy. However, the tree's great move, Feng
Rohal's "appreciation" of him immediately made the witch doctors who had just seen the opportunity to take office stand on the same front...
This is also the point where Zoro is not very mature. His foundation is unstable and should have been hidden. However, in order to make contributions, he accidentally became the focus, which directly led to open and hidden arrows coming one after another.
As the war just ended, Zoro's troops could not withstand the internal attacks, and in the end they could only retreat, stay away from the tribal core, and completely isolated from the "core circle" of the chief...
Chief Rohal is still in the dark, while other witch doctors are happy to hear about it, and wish Zoro could freeze to death in this valley.
However, they did not expect that such behavior provided Zoro with a rare opportunity.
At this moment, at the foot of the Gondola Mountains, more than a hundred miles away from the Chief's tent, the young witch doctor in an animal leather cloak was happily baking the fire, sitting in a simple wooden house with closed eyes and resting in peace.
.
The young "King of Ten Thousand Axes" is strong and well-proportioned, with long black hair braided, a huge battle axe next to her, and a few pages of grass sandpaper and a map in front of her. The beasts outside the house are
New houses were being built in the cold wind - after coming to the forest at the foot of the Gondola Mountains, they no longer used tents as their residence, but collectively began to build "villages" with wooden walls and high-rise guard posts!
A wolf cavalry entered the village from outside, and then came to Zoro in silence. The other party respectfully knelt down on one knee to report the situation. Zoro nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. After the wolf cavalry retreated, he opened slightly.
Eye…
"I really thought I could hold my seat here...you can rest assured to sit in your position?"
Zoro stroked the double-edged battle axe beside him, and his cold tone was cruel: "If you don't fulfill your last wish, I will fulfill it for him. Who will stop me..."
"Then you have to pay the price!"
His eyes turned to the grass sandpaper map in front of him. Zoro's focus was on a guard sign that was only twenty kilometers away from the village. He shook his head and sighed: "Ha... the alert humans will always
As fragile as a rabbit.”
"I really think such a small sentry can block me?"
*******
"hiss--"
Roddy took a slight breath and felt the hot force spread throughout his body from the runes on his arm.
The muscles of the body were tightly tense, and the severe pain suddenly appeared and then retreated. A few seconds later, Roddy raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead, but frowned and thought about the route he had just walked through his body with pain.
Is this the power that really belongs to you...
In reality, as a "modern person", Roddy is actually very difficult to accept that there is a "power" running around in his body. When using his skills, he just feels it slightly, but this time he inlaid runes,
But he clearly felt the division of this "power" in his body-
They are like blood, everywhere, but unpredictable.
Roddy thought carefully for a long time and found that he could not think of any clues about such power. He diverted his attention and looked down at the expensive and exquisite rune crystal in his hand. He rested for a while and then turned the second and third ones.
Pressed toward his arm.
"Sher—"
The translucent rune is only as big as a fingernail piece. The moment it touches the body, it melts Roddy's skin like a soldering iron - this is really "melt", and Roddy is so painful that she sweats all over her body.
However, the rune itself will also disappear completely on the surface of the skin of the arm in less than a few seconds, leaving only the burned rune-like scar.
The reason why Roddy can only inlay three skills: "Anonymous Sword", "Concentration Shooting", and "Peeping", and the effects of these runes are basically the same: reduce the cooldown time of the skill itself.
The cooldown time of "Anonymous Stories" has been reduced from 1 minute to 45 seconds, "Concentrating Shooting" has been reduced from 1 minute to 30 seconds, and "Pengle" has been reduced from 15 seconds to 12 seconds. Although there is no literal change, for
For Roddy, such an improvement means that his survivability and lethality have increased by at least 20%.
Looking through the panel and confirming that the runes had worked successfully, Roddy silently picked up the bandage and endured the severe pain of the scald and bandaged it.
It has been five days since he arrived at the Duke's Mansion. During this period, he has been promoted to another level and bought the runes he needs in the hidden "rune sales" store in the city. At other times, he helped Sulun.
He worked hard to make leather armor, and at the same time, he and Angma were working with him every day to make judgments and decisions on the information he had collected.
At first, he was a little busy, but today, Roddy seemed much more relaxed.
For Roddy's outstanding contribution to killing Ansadin and others, the Duke of Angma did not stingy with rewards. Roddy didn't want to reward the land, so Angma could only "discount" and gave him a large number of weapons, armor, and horses.
and food.
Such a wealth is definitely much more practical than gold coins, Roddy accepted it calmly... In fact, both of them understood that now they had already boarded the same chariot, and the so-called "reward" had already had a kind of "watching and mutual assistance"
The meaning is inside.
It sounds absurd and ridiculous to have a small role like a duke and Roddy, but what is even more ridiculous is that Bishop Benjamin's last personnel transfer to the monastery before his promotion was to take two priests to
The name of "experience going out" was directly assigned to Roddy!
These two priests followed Benjamin for many years and their strength reached the level of level 2. If they followed the original promotion progress, they might have to stay in the monastery for ten to fifteen years before they could become "bishops"
Hope... Therefore, for the two priests, following a "new rich man" and living in a monastery, they obediently followed the orders and came to the Duke's Mansion and became Roddy's new subordinates.
"It's a good thing to get together three advanced treatments... Ansadin also has a batch of high-quality ore that can store high-level equipment, and the problem of military source--"
Roddy, who was sitting at the desk, shook his painful arm, picked up a pen and drew a circle on the parchment paper. After confirming the next plan for expansion of the military source, he immediately opened the [Task Bar] and faced the [Judgement of the Bone Throne]
The words "Countdown to Mission: 142 Days" sighed slightly...
