Time goes back to five days ago.

Inside the Blood Temple.

Juan Clemente was carrying his giant rune sword and pacing back and forth in the gold brick-paved temple hall. Every time he turned around, he would raise his head worriedly and look outside the temple.

Along a long street, the federal orc troops were at war with each other.

Compared with the irritability of the Death Knight, the two losers Pavol Eldridge and Master Victor Lowry are much more comfortable:

They were gathering around a steel helmet that served as a small pot, using fire magic as a stove, happily making blood tofu to eat.

In fact, they had already brought enough dry food before they planned to occupy the Blood Temple. A few months ago, the Enziai trolls and elf mages in Frost Maple Ridge conducted joint scientific research and used "Tatsusu Tea" and

Several other elven specialty foods were used to create a compressed ration that was extremely small but rich in nutrients and could satisfy even the most hungry people. The lord personally named it "Lux Rack".

In this expedition to the federal border, the Frost Maple Ridge Expeditionary Force has always combined fighting with plundering, and followed the path of supporting war with war:

Every time they capture an orc village, they will harvest a lot of livestock and rations for future marches;

Because of this, the "Hercules Rack" they brought with the army from the Soul-Splitting Land was not consumed at all along the way. With a wave of his hand, the lord brought all the packages into the Blood Temple.

It stands to reason that with so much rations, they can live in the Blood Temple for more than a month - but since there is blood tofu hot pot to feast on, these Frost Maple Ridge idiots are too lazy to touch the dry compressed food.

General Dest Gonestone, the division commander of the "Arrogant God of War", made a serious misjudgment about the situation. He thought that the number of Scourge Legions under "Master Ner'zhul" who occupied the Blood Temple this time should be as large as

There were hundreds of them, but he never imagined that in the entire Blood Temple, there were only a few dozen humans who needed to eat——

——The rest are a group of undead creatures that neither eat nor drink.

Theoretically, maintaining the existence of a necromantic creature for a long time will rapidly consume the ghostly magic power of its owner, causing the necromantic magician to be drained out quickly like an old otaku encountering a succubus.

In the absence of effective magic replenishment methods in the Blood Temple, "waiting a few more days to exhaust the magic power of 'Master Ner'zhul'" is also a major reason for "The Pride of the God of War" to adopt a siege strategy;

But they never expected that the so-called "Necromancer" was actually a mainland alien who used the magic power of the underworld...

These days, a certain lord who has never worked hard has finally realized the sorrow of Master Lowry who went to the "Griffin Kiln" every day to bake bricks for the proletariat:

In the Blood Temple, Xia Houyan's daily job is to use low-level necromancy magic to continuously resurrect the undead orcs whose duration has expired. At the same time, he uses his free time to help the zombie shaman upstairs write some new words for the loudspeaker.

Talk about sadness.

For example, in the past two days, the promotional song used by the zombie shamans is no longer the Haiwen version of "Amani" that was originally a tribute to Mr. Huang Jiaju, but has been changed to a song that has been changed from English to the common language of orcs, and it is a cross-position song.

"we are the world" for exporting face-to-face culture.

Those responsible for singing this famous charity song on the roof of the Blood Temple were all high-level orc shamans from the Blood Temple. They respected the earth's traditions and created an all-star lineup.

In the singing of "A mainland family, we are all children of the God of War", most of the Shuangmangling occupying troops in the Blood Temple were infected by the warm climate. They even wrote some funny and generous words like middle school students at a sports meeting.

Sour poems and bad articles were enthusiastically submitted to the zombie radio station on the roof:

Among them, most of the manuscripts that had good publicity effects and were politically correct were successfully broadcast after being reviewed by the lords. However, there were also a few scum from the pioneering army who tried to fish in troubled waters and submitted pornographic articles, hoping to let the zombie shaman attack the whole city.

He broadcast something about "Love Locking Magic" and was scolded by the lord.

But overall, the effect of this zombie radio station is still very good. The orc shaman who is good at singing war hymns has turned into a human loudspeaker and is a completely professional counterpart.

Listening to the zombie broadcast upstairs, Xia Houyan thought in his heart that airdropping leaflets from planes on earth was just a rough job. This is a propaganda offensive that truly goes deep into the enemy's hinterland...

However, not all people in Shuangmangling are content with the status quo.

For example, Juan Clemente seems to be relatively impatient - this is not to say that the death knight who has been locked up in the basement for eight hundred years lacks the patience to wait, but because he really wants to rush out and kill a few people.

Have fun with an orc.

——On the ground outside the temple, there are still many corpses of orc soldiers killed in battle, which can be pulled up by the lord at any time and turned into an army of natural disasters;

Any Imperial knight with a sense of honor must be unable to resist the strong desire to lead such a large army, go into battle and kill the enemy, and perform further meritorious deeds for the territory and the empire.

However, the lord did not seem to have any intention of starting a war with the besiegers outside. Instead, he calmly stayed in the Blood Temple for the time being. He probably made up his mind to confront the orcs outside to the end.

Juan Clemente looked at the situation outside the temple. Accompanied by the harsh sound of metal friction, he waved the rune sword in his hand boredly and muttered:

"How long are we going to stay here... If we rush out now, we can actually kill these greenskins to their death..."

Not far away, Xia Houyan also heard the death knight's complaints, rolled his eyes and said:

"Be patient... We are now occupying the sacred land of their orcs and holding an entire division here - Juan, tell me, are we more anxious, or are they?"

The boss spoke, and Clement had nothing to say. He had to sit back underground with his rune sword in his arms, and angrily watched Master Lowry and Eldridge cooking hot pot:

The blood tofu looks delicious, but the death knight can't eat at all...

"Chris! Play a game of chess with me!" Clement thought for a while and shouted.

Chris walked over with a depressed look on his face, playing chess with Clement to relieve his boredom - the deputy commander of the pioneering army obviously had no interest in playing chess with a humanoid alphago, but he was so high-ranking that he could crush someone to death.

After settling Clement's minor mood, Xia Houyan withdrew his attention and reinvested in the conversation with Master Calvino.

In the past two days, the master of spiritual songs has given full play to the tradition of sensitive and studious scholars unique to the magician industry, and has been concentrating on interpreting and rubbing the golden inscriptions on the walls of the temple - for those who have never been able to enter the Holy Land of War.

For humans and elves, these inscriptions are undoubtedly important historical data.

It is said that the Blood Temple was established by the God of War and his followers. Naturally, the ancient inscriptions on the walls of this temple should also be the marks left by the God of War and his followers thousands of years ago——

——As long as the rumors are credible enough.

The research of the spiritual song master also aroused Xia Houyan's interest.

"Lord, please see, this paragraph records the return of the God of War..." Master Lingge compared the manuscript in his hand and pointed to the mysterious and complicated ancient writings on the wall and said, "...it should have been left by the apostle of the God of War himself.

record of."

Xia Houyan held his chin, looked up at the ancient inscriptions on the wall, and said "Huh".

According to the few historical knowledge he learned in the school city, according to legend, in the ancient times even further back in the Desolate Era, there were many gods who fought endlessly on the Haven Continent, but in the end they all

He was defeated by the Supreme Holy God in the so-called "War of the Gods".

According to mainland legends, the Supreme Holy God who won the war of gods first wore a ring of thorns and grass to repay the sins of mainland humans, and then judged the gods based on their words and deeds: all good gods, such as those who are said to have the power of magicians

All the elemental gods from the source were included in the pantheon by the God of War and have been believed by mankind for generations; while all evil gods such as the God of Death and the God of Plague were punished and sealed by the God of War, and their power was also listed as taboo.

The end of the "War of the Gods" and the complete collapse of the Great Elf Empire, these two historical events at the same time, not only announced the beginning of the Desolate Era, but also announced the end of the "Mythic Era" with the rule of the Great Elf Empire as its core feature.

ended, and since then, the manifestations of various gods have been decreasing day by day, until they have almost disappeared in the past one or two hundred years.

Now, in the eyes of most people in the empire, the so-called "War of the Gods" and those distant myths and legends are just stories used to put children to sleep. Although the public generally believes in the existence of gods, most of them are just a kind of spiritual sustenance.

And idols for worship, no one really thinks that the existence of gods will affect their real life;

In the past few years, those innovative magicians of the so-called "Truth Sect" even clamored that "the gods are dead" and tried to separate the source of elemental power from the illusory gods. Until the leader of the "Truth Sect", Friedrich

It is said that William was burned to death by the hand of Melione, the god of fire, which awakened the common people's weak memory of gods;

Even the Supreme Church of the Empire, which worships the Supreme Holy Spirit, has gradually become secularized over the long years. Now, not only is its power shrinking, but its internal corruption and depravity are also becoming more serious.

Rather than winning the battle with God, we are more concerned about how much tithes we can collect from believers next year.

All these factors have made Xia Houyan, a foreigner from the earth, have no interest in the "War of the Gods" which has no evidence since he time traveled. All the heroic deeds about the Supreme Holy God and other gods are treated as fairy tales.

However, the "Spring of Rock Creek City" a few months ago dealt a heavy blow to the worldview of Xiahou officials:

Because the "Black Priest" Bartholomew de Hashe, who calls himself a "believer in Death," actually dug out a leg of Death sealed by the Supreme Holy God from the underground of Rock Creek Castle!

And the reason why this authentic "god's remains" can reappear in the world seems to have something to do with the Big Brother Yama, who traveled from the earth across the stars and the sea to the Haven Continent...

Since then, Xia Houyan has been consciously paying more attention to the information about the gods of this world - mostly out of a pure, time-traveler's intuition, he feels that these seemingly untrustworthy secrets and unofficial histories may one day be revealed in the future.

become crucial.

After entering the Blood Temple and Master Calvino Lingge discovered the words of the God of War on the wall, Xia Houyan immediately deigned and joined several elf mages in his free time other than resurrecting zombies.

Scientific research team.

The reason why Xia Houyan is interested is that the God of War believed by the Federation Orcs is an anomaly among the gods in Haiwen Continent.

Even the Moon God believed by the demons and some moon elves participated in the tragic "War of the Gods" in the legend. The Moon God was also judged as "no good and evil" in the trial of the Supreme Holy God.

"Evil" was neither sealed and punished nor included in the imperial pantheon, but was expelled from the human belief system and has since become the patron saint of the demons;

But the God of War, whom only the orcs believe in, seems to have evaporated among the gods. He has never appeared in any mythical story about the "War of the Gods". He and his nine apostles seem to be fighting against the Supreme Holy God and the

A parallel line that has nothing to do with other continental gods, it only left countless legends among the people of the orc clan for future generations to talk about.

It wasn't until the end of the story that the God of War, after leaving a few words of admonition, disappeared into nature and wilderness, so lightly that he hardly took a single cloud with him.

This is truly a weird thing - now, the Glorious Federation established by the orcs is the ruler of the continent that is in a three-legged relationship with the human empire and the demonic realm, but the God of War they believe in has never had any interaction with other gods...

…

For a continent that once experienced the so-called "Mythic Era", this is really weird.

However, the research of Master Calvino, who had high hopes from the lord and tried to uncover the clouds of history, has not found much these days.

According to the careful identification of the spiritual song master, most of the inscriptions on the walls of the Blood Temple are some mottos left by the God of War, such as "When someone hits you on the left cheek, use your right fist to hit it."

nonsense.

It wasn't until this morning that Master Lingge took his apprentices to read through these alien QQ signature files one by one, and finally found some ancient records related to history on a wall at the end of the hall.

Master Lingge stood beside the Lord, squinting his eyes and identifying the ancient orc writing on the wall:

"Well... here are the records about the return of the God of War to the wilderness. Proverbs... Proverbs... Proverbs... Hmm? Lord, that's interesting... In addition to the God of War's legacy that everyone in the mainland knows, this wall seems to also contain records

More content, I have never heard of it before..."

Alice on the side blinked and said:

"Elliot, Master of Spiritual Songs... This wall seemed to have been covered by a large red cloth by the shamans of the temple... We only pulled up the red cloth when we were cleaning the hall of the temple two days ago.

Come down."

The spiritual song master's expression was stern when he heard this: "That means that the shamans of the Blood Temple did not want the orcs who worshiped the God of War to easily see this record..."

Xia Houyan's eyes suddenly lit up and he whistled:
Chapter completed!
