Chapter 419: My Heart Will Not Die(1/2)
On the other side of the Burning Crystal Canyon, there is the Glorious Federation Camp.
The air was still filled with the pungent smell of fireworks.
Adolf Black-Eyed Grand Warlord slowly put down the documents in his hand, then stuck his head out of the wooden window of the command post, took a deep breath of the smell in the air, and then roared down with the loud voice unique to the orcs:
"Be careful! Don't catch fire!"
Next to the fire downstairs, the sonorous and powerful voices of agreement came from the orc soldiers.
Today is the traditional festival of the orcs, "Bloodstone Burnt".
Even on the front line of Burning Crystal Canyon, the orc soldiers in the federal army still followed the ancient festival customs. On this day, they picked up hard rocks, smeared them with the blood of their enemies, and then placed these blood-stained stones on the battlefield.
Roast on the campfire.
The question of whether to hold these festivals in the army actually caused a lot of controversy among the top brass of the Federal Army, but in the end, the coach Adolf Black Eyes made the decision to carry out the "Bloodstone Burnt" festivals as usual.
The significance of the ancient custom of "blood stone burning" is to encourage the orcs to destroy their enemies and make all enemies suffer endless pain and torture like stones on fire;
In the view of Adolf Black-Eyed Grand Overseer, replicating these ancient festival activities in the military camp is actually a very good way to boost morale and encourage soldiers. What's more, the cost of such activities is quite low——
——On the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon, everything is lacking, except the blood of the Imperial humans.
The Black-Eyed Warlord leaned against the window sill and admired the spectacle of the orc soldiers sitting around the bonfire for a while, singing and burning bloodstones. Then he withdrew from the window and looked into the command post room again.
At the beginning of the war, the Glorious Federation's headquarters on the northern front was still an inconspicuous felt tent;
However, as the stalemate between the orc army and the imperial humans continued, the federal craftsmen finally built this small wooden building in the barracks on the east side of the Burning Crystal Canyon for the Black-Eyed Warlord and other high-ranking military officials to work and rest.
Generally speaking, setting up such a conspicuous command post on the front line is actually a very stupid behavior seeking death. If you are not careful, you will be targeted by the opponent's long-range projectile weapons or air cavalry;
But at present, it seems that the imperial humans on the other side of the canyon have suffered several wars, and there is no longer any room to project firepower to the other side of the canyon. Even if there are high-level shamans who are always on duty around the command post, they can also use war songs.
Shoot down all UFOs in the sky.
The office of Grand Overseer Adolf Black Eyes is located on the second floor of the command post. Above that is a whole floor of totem arrays used to defend against attacks.
This office has a superior location, overlooking the entire military camp, and is very suitable for the distinguished title of "Commander-in-Chief of the Glorious Federal Frontline" held by Grand Overseer Adolf Black Eyes.
On usual daytime afternoons, Grand Overseer Adolf Black-Eyed liked to sit alone in this office, drink some wine, and read some military books.
——Although the orcs are famous for their barbarism, General Adolf Black Eyes is actually not an ignorant idiot, but a scholar who has traveled to the mainland and received complete military training:
His favorite books to read on weekdays are "Gowther's War" written by the late Demon War God General Erwin, and the unfinished autobiography "Swing with the Sword" by Count Olaf, the legendary "Light of the Empire".
"The Name of God".
However, that afternoon, the Black-Eyed Warlord was not in the mood to study.
Because he has several guests to receive.
Seeing the black-eyed warlord retracting his head from the window, a strong orc man sitting on the chair on the left side of his office grinned and said with a smile:
"Adolf, don't tell me, this 'Bloodstone Burnt' is really interesting. Many young men in the camp are very happy..."
The orc who spoke did not take off his black iron plate armor even though he was in the command post. He looked like a metal hill in the room.
Any orc who has a little knowledge of the regular federal army will immediately realize that this tough man is the commander of the Glorious Federation's "Dragon Flame Legion", General Omar Setting Sun.
In the federal military system, about 10,000 soldiers form a division, with a "general" as its leader; three to four divisions form a corps, with a "general" as its leader - as for someone like Adolf Black Eyes, who can simultaneously
The "Grand Overseer" who controls several legions is generally only appointed temporarily during a war.
The "Dragon Flame Legion" led by Omar Setting Sun, with four divisions under its jurisdiction, is the main force that the Federation relies on to support the Burning Crystal Canyon front.
Because of this, General Omar Setting Sun, even in front of the Grand Overseer, sat with his hands on the floor and smiled wildly.
"We, the orcs, have gone through quite difficult times..." Adolf Black Eyes said with a smile, "... many of the ancient customs formed in that era may seem a bit cumbersome on weekdays, but they can be invigorating in war.
People’s hearts.”
"Adolf, you know better..." General Omar Sunset laughed and stretched out his big hand to scratch his bald head, "People like us don't understand anything..."
"It's just that I have read a few more books." The black-eyed warlord smiled humbly, "In front of a senior shaman like Master Kane, it is really nothing."
Hearing the orc warlord praising him, the old shaman sitting on the other side of the room laughed and nodded to the warlord as a return gift. General Omar Setting Sun on the other side yelled strangely:
"Adolf, what you said - who can compare with Master Kane! If we want to become a wise man like Master Kane, both of us should wait until the next life!"
If you are a new recruit who has just arrived at the front line of Burning Crystal Canyon, you may be wondering why the two orc generals have such respect for this old shaman who is as skinny as an old tree and is wrapped in a frost wolf fur coat.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the old shaman named "Kane" has a bright lion totem badge hanging on his chest: this means that he is a "lion-hearted" with outstanding cultivation.
Shaman", and is one of the sixteen-member council members of the Federation Blood Temple.
But that's not the real reason why Master Kane is so highly regarded.
Only those high-ranking orcs who have mastered the core secrets of the Federation know about Master Kane's immortal achievements that can be recorded in history:
Because two years ago, it was Master Kane who used his otherworldly war song skills to geniusly adapt the "Song of Natural Bonds" by Leto, the eighth apostle of the God of War, "Lord of Beasts", and successfully combined a
The Ice Monster Mengmao tribe has been fully integrated into the Glorious Federation’s combat order!
The people of the God of War are all friends of nature and the wilderness, and the "Natural Bond Song" allows the shaman to establish a friendly relationship with all creatures in the wilderness - the kodo beasts, frost wolves, wildebeests in the orc formation, basically
It all depends on the shaman to "recruit" with this war song.
However, the "Song of Natural Bonds" is extremely ineffective against high-level monsters with astonishing resistance. In history, no orc has ever relied on the "Song of Natural Bonds" to become the owner of high-level monsters such as dragons;
Being able to use the "Song of Natural Bonds" to recruit epic creatures like the ice demon mammoth means that Master Kane's war song skills have reached an astonishing level that shocked the past and the present.
There are even many shaman masters who firmly believe that Master Kane will soon advance and become the first "Dragon Flame Shaman" born in the orc tribe in hundreds of years!
Just think about it: without Master Kane, it would have been impossible for the Federation to obtain the ice demon mammoth that conquered all living beings, and it would have been even less possible for the Federation to capture cities and territories, behead countless people, and finally chase hundreds of Imperial Eastern Army away in the sixth war.
inside!
——In this sense, it is not an exaggeration to attribute all the credit to the Federation side in this war to Master Kane.
Warlord Adolf Black Eyes and General Omar Setting Sun, who knew this well, naturally did not dare to neglect Master Kane.
What's more, Master Kane is the chief shaman of the entire orc army - even with this status, he is enough to win the respect of all orcs.
The three orcs were talking and laughing here, and a sneer came from the other end of the room.
Adolf Dark-Eyed Grand Overseer raised his head in embarrassment and looked at the source of the sound:
There was a beautiful woman sitting on a chair with her little feet crossed, fiddling with her long golden curly hair - the orcs generally called her "Duchess Vanessa".
However, Duchess Vanessa is not an orc, but an elf.
During the Elven Zionist Movement more than fifty years ago, a group of descendants of high elves were supported by the empire and established the "Stardust Elf Protectorate" in the Yongri Mountains, a branch of the Dust Mountains; in order to compete with the empire, the Federation side
Kuai also responded by supporting another group of elves and establishing the so-called "Blood Shadow Elf Protectorate" on the other side of the mountain range.
And this Duchess Vanessa is the commander sent by the Blood Shadow Elf Protectorate to the front line of Burning Crystal Canyon this time.
Different from the "Stardust Elf Protectorate", the main body of the "Blood Shadow Elf Protectorate" is not the well-known high elves, but the so-called "blood elves" - this group of elves have not only practiced blood-based forbidden magic for a long time, but also
His appearance changed, and he was also sentenced to exile by the Great Elf Empire. He has been wandering in the eastern part of the continent for thousands of years, and only surrendered to the Glorious Federation in recent years.
Just take a look at Duchess Vanessa's blonde hair and iconic red hair, and you can immediately distinguish her race from the green-haired, gold-eyed high elves in the Stardust Protectorate.
After being dispatched to the Burning Crystal Canyon, Duchess Vanessa has been acting unscrupulously, and she even regards federal military discipline as nothing, which has caused a lot of troubles to the management of the military camp. Adolf Black-Eyed Grand Warlord and the orcs
The senior military officers all had a headache for Duchess Vanessa, and they always felt that it was not their business to care about her:
After all, the entire regiment of "Blood Elf Spellbreakers" led by Duchess Vanessa is the Federation Army's biggest reliance against the Empire's magicians. At present, it seems that, at least until the end of the war, it is absolutely impossible.
Will there be any orcs who would dare to offend this over-the-top blood elf noblewoman?
"I say, Lord Black-Eyed..." Duchess Vanessa said boredly while inspecting her perfectly manicured long nails, "You called all of us here just to discuss the ancient customs of your orcs, right?
?”
Adolf Dark-Eyed Grand Warlord sighed and said:
"Yes, I asked three of you to come over for business. You see, this is the invitation I just got, sent by the humans of the empire with feather arrows."
An invitation from a human? The three top officials of the Federation Army were a little stunned. Master Kane took a document from the Black-Eyed Overlord, glanced at it briefly, and handed it to Duchess Vanessa. The Duchess read it,
Throw it to Omar Sunset again.
"Military exercise?" Duchess Vanessa frowned her slender and elegant eyebrows and murmured, "You also invited us to send observers? What the hell are the Imperial humans doing?"
"Hey, Adolf, these humans want to scare us!" Omar Canyang said with a belly laugh after reading the invitation handwritten by Grand Duke Rosario, "They are flexing their muscles at us!"
Adolf Black Eyes nodded and smiled:
"Yes, the Empire people definitely want to use this military exercise to prove to us that they did not lose so miserably in the past year... It's really ridiculous, as if a military exercise can defeat the people east of the Burning Crystal Canyon.
It’s like the hundreds of miles of lost land have been wiped off.”
"The more you try to advertise what you have, the more you actually lack something!" Although Omar Canyang is a big boss, he has the temperament of a grassroots philosopher. "Adolf, let me tell you, the people of the Empire are feeling guilty right now.
Come on! They are really afraid that we will fight through Burning Crystal Canyon, so they have to hold a military exercise to show off the momentum!"
Adolf Dark Eyes smiled and said: "It makes sense."
"I can only hate this bullshit ceasefire agreement..." Omar Sunset said bitterly, "Adolf, I promise you, let the 'Dragon Flame Legion' fight through the canyon now, and I will definitely be able to capture Grim Rosali.
A head on O’s neck!”
The black-eyed warlord shook his head and said:
To be continued...
