The first thousand three hundred and one chapters have big gains in every way
The Taurus Shaman rolled and crawled away amid the laughter of the crowd. However, Lu Xi kept watching the other party's back disappear from his sight. He knew that this guy was actually a real warrior. In the reckless but thick lines of orcs, most of them only know how to show off their temporary pleasure, such people are really rare. Many times, fighting to death does not necessarily mean courage. However, being willing to survive for a greater goal and carrying humiliation is actually worthy of such evaluation.
Then, you will soon find that this great goal was just the mirage and moon you imagined from the beginning. More and more tribesmen will be brought to death. An insurmountable natural chasm will stand in front of you. No matter how many orcs' lives are, they cannot fill this abyss-like natural chasm. At that time, indomitableness will turn into despair. At that time, my evil taste... no, my thousand-year plan has been realized.
Of course, the soldiers of the coalition army did not know that their supreme commander was completely an evil snake spirit. They only knew that since they had a city, they could finally take a breath. So the coalition forces occupying the Temple of the Falling Blade and the surrounding cities began their first rest after entering the heart of Orgrimmar. We already knew that the city was not large in size, and at most a local town in Auckland, it would not allow nearly 50,000 coalition troops to live in the city to rest. But no matter what, with a city with a relatively complete facility function as a support, even if camping would feel much more comfortable than camping in a bare and empty wasteland. Even if you want to make a fire to keep warm and find fuel, it would be much more convenient to demolish houses on the spot and cut thatch in the distance.
This is not just the only thing that will make everyone happy recently. After the large army had just stopped for a long time, with the next morning, rolling smoke and dust appeared on the north horizon. The sentry originally thought it was another large army attacked by the enemy, so they launched an alarm. However, before the coalition forces in the city were ready to fight, the alarm was immediately lifted. At this time, everyone had seen the true face of this team.
A powerful cavalry team composed of five thousand Oakland Knights and two thousand wood elves Black Panther Hunters finally resisted the scheduled turn position. Judging from the state of the troops, although they were a little tired, their mental outlook was quite radiant. Some soldiers were indeed injured, but they were still able to ride horses, which was probably not a serious injury. Overall, the losses of the troops were almost negligible.
What made everyone even happier was that the seven thousand cavalrymen turned into herders at this time, and drove away the 30,000 to 40,000 Rosa beasts and nearly 10,000 Northland wildebeests.
The former is a herbivore between sheep and adult pigs, with small eyes, arched noses and huge ears, plus a thick layer of fur. Like goblins, this animal has a stomach that can digest everything. It can survive by turning on the sand and gravel and frozen soil, and with the follow-up of a little withered plants. As a result, its breeding ability is also good. Even if it is not as good as goblins and kowtowers, it is also at the standard level of ordinary herbivores. This high-quality livestock that eats grass and milks is really perfect. Its fur is the main cold-proof clothing for the orcs, and it also provides more than 80% of the meat source of major clans.
The latter, as the name suggests, is an animal very close to wildebeest. But in fact, its size is much larger than the African wildebeest in Lu Xi's hometown, and it has the ability to produce milk comparable to cows. The food does not need to be so fine. It is literally "the food that eats herbs and produces milk". Of course, the milk produced is indeed astringent and fishy, which is far worse than milk, but it is finally better because it is large in quantity. Various dairy products made from this kind of milk from the wildebeest are the main source of protein for ordinary orcs. This is the main purpose of the mother beast.
Don't be stupid. Do you think that with the productivity of the nomadic people, you can really get everyone to eat meat?
As for male beasts, in addition to being used for sowing, they are a very high-end ingredient. The meat is said to be very chewy and elastic, but it does not look too old and has a unique taste than beef. In Orgrimmar, only the best warriors and clan nobles are qualified to enjoy the deliciousness of wildebeests.
"We wiped out two orcs and centaur troops in the north in a row, and then attacked a valley. It was a ranch managed by more than 200 centaur herders and guards, plus several vassal goblins and kowtowers. From the locals, this was basically the largest ranch in the Belka Hills. We brought out all the healthier livestock and basically killed the rest." The commander of the Black Panther Hunter, Lu Xi's childhood friend and big brother, Karofendale, explained to Lu Xi: "Although it's a bit cruel, you have explained that we will attack the orcs as much as possible. In order to end the war as soon as possible, this is also something we have to do."
If half of the orcs can starve to death next year, the whole continent will be at least stable for fifty years. However, don’t say such politically incorrect things, as everyone knows it. Lu Xi thought, and nodded: “Make the enemy suffer and make your own people happy. This is actually the true meaning of war. You did it right.”
Speaking of this, the two suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They actually grew up together... Oh no, one party looked at the other party's good friends, but at this time, apart from business, they didn't know what to say for a while. This scene was actually quite sad.
By the way, is this the price of growing up?
Lu Xi looked at the other party and couldn't help scratching his head, and the handsome elf Black Panther Commander couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and grabbed his scalp. The two looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds, and then couldn't help laughing. Although everyone still didn't know what to say, the previous embarrassment and alienation naturally disappeared.
This is what it should be! My friend of the protagonist Lu Xi is not the kind of mediocre person who feels ashamed of being distant from his friends because of changes in status, power and life experience?
"If it is the most 'reasonable' treatment, killing all the livestock is the best. So, you specially wanted to get them all over to give everyone a extra meal, right?" Lu Xi asked in a more casual way.
"I'm sending you extra meals! In terms of your appetite, when have you ever been wronged?" Brother Hawkeye said loudly. Well, both of them understood that even if the gap in status objectively existed, the tacit understanding of that year was back.
"More importantly, if you robbed Belka's largest ranch, the orc's reaction should have been expected, right?" Lu Xi asked with a smile.
"Yes, we just left the ranch and met the orc troops who rushed over to rescue. Centaur assaulters with about three thousand people had been prepared. But we were prepared. The Knight Kulad led the lances to charge from the flanks and caught them off guard." Earl Reckard's words were a little proud.
"They are very brave." Knight Kurady said.
This Knight Kuladi is a middle-aged general with a medium figure but very majestic middle-aged general. He is the commander of these 1,000 blue lancers. He is a typical soldier, a little taciturn, but he is as fierce as fire when using troops. The combat power of the Golden Level 3 is just ordinary in the eyes of an extraordinary monster like Lu Xi, but he is definitely a fierce general who can be a thousand on the battlefield. His implication is that although the centaurs are brave, they are not their own place of unity. Although they only say one sentence, they are far more proud than those knights.
One thousand heavy knights launched a charge against enemies three times their own, and they directly broke the opponent in just one round, but none of them died in battle, and only a dozen unlucky guys were slightly injured. This shows the combat power of the most powerful ace Imperial Knight, the overlord of the mainland, Auckland.
"However, the enemy troops that came one after another were quite large. The scout owls had already been investigated, and they should be more than 30,000 people. The main force should be the main force of the Centaur Blood Flag Soldiers and the Alama Trolls Legion. Of course, with the large number of goblins and kowtowers who serve as servants, the number of people cannot be counted at all." Hawkeye said again. The best black panther hunters are also masters of elves' exploration magic. They can turn every grass, tree, flower and tree into their own eyeliners, and of course they naturally took over the army's reconnaissance work.
"The movement is so fast, it's not as fast as a clan society. Well, but the blood flag army of the Centaurs and the Alamain Hunter Legion are all considered armed forces of the sect under the Bloodthirsty King, and are directly managed by the Shaman Clan. It's not surprising that there is such an organization." Lu Xi said: "They must have heard that we are close to the Weize Wetland and rushed over to support us?"
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, they may only get news of Ser's defeat and death and the fall of the Falling Blade Temple now." Merihil said.
"With our troops at that time, the Knights charged all over the line, and there was not a chance of winning at all." Sir Tyrell said proudly. Even though he knew that the enemy's troops were probably dozens of times more powerful than him (because of goblins and kowtowers), he still had the pride of the Auckland nobles who dared to fight when they saw the enemy and would win if they had to fight. This is the pride of the Auckland nobles.
"... Yes, but in this way, the losses cannot be estimated. I, we really don't have to bet like this. So, I ask everyone not to fight, and retreat and get back to your main force to reconcile." His Highness Toman, the nominal commander of the Auckland army, looked at Lu Xi with some expectations and nervous eyes, and said carefully. Well, this good child from the herbivorous system is a very colorful one among the Auckland nobles, but the strange species exist everywhere. We must understand this.
"You did it right! Tomman." Lu Xi praised frankly: "Every knight is a noble warrior, and there is no need to take risks and die with a group of bloodthirsty believers! It is certainly the honor of the warrior to fight when they meet the enemy, but knowing when to fight or choose the right time to fight or not is the leader's ability. You did it right, Tomman."
The boy Toman looked at Lu Xi with emotion. It was probably the first time he was praised by such a heavyweight person since he was a child! His eyes were about to turn red again when he saw that.
"Thank you, thank you, brother!"
Everyone said don't call me that!
"Then, they have been following you all the time?" Lu Xi asked again.
"I led the Black Panther Hunter to give them a head-on strike and killed the scouts of the forwards. They were shocked to the enemy. They stopped for nearly a long time and then followed them, but the marching speed naturally slowed down." Hawkeye said.
"It would be strange if you can get up quickly with the servants of countless goblins and kowtowers." Lu Xi said: "Of course, you won't leave too fast with tens of thousands of livestock. This is a tiny bit."
Elfs are originally a race that is good at communicating animals. Although Auckland is all professional soldiers, many of them are actually herders, and they are still quite good at driving animals. Seven thousand people rushing to nearly 50,000 large and small livestock will indeed greatly slow down the marching speed, but no matter what, it will definitely be much better than unorganized and undisciplined kowtowels and goblins. After chasing and chasing, the Aucklanders and elves have arrived at the Temple of the Blade, but the army of orcs has eaten dust for more than a day later.
"They should soon get the news that we have joined forces. However, the fall of the dojo of the Bloodthirsty King is enough to allow tens of thousands of orc clans to spend the winter in our hands. A group of crazy believers' sects and small clan coalitions coming from all over the country will never be able to turn a blind eye to us, the enemy of life and death! When what I did yesterday is passed to the other party with the escaped Tartar's children's shoes, they will definitely establish their determination, right?" Lu Xi smiled and said, "At that time, even the orders of Khan of the Golden Ban, may not be able to change their minds, right?"
"The Khan Asog of the Golden Banner is now confronting Emperor Otto at Thunder Cliff Fortress. I'm afraid that even the news that we have crossed the Blood Rock Ridge has only been obtained now. Even if he wants to do something, it's too late."
Oh my, it might be very comfortable to be surrounded by enemies, right? Even I couldn't help but cry sympathy for the poor "Heart of Dragons".
"The scout just now came to report that the enemy was still close, and some of the broken remaining soldiers and tribes were joining, continuing to strengthen their troops. At their marching speed, we were about three days away." Merihil said: "We have plenty of time to accumulate energy and wait for our work."
"It's very good. I like this kind of waiting the most! I'll send the order to dinner tonight. The wine is only inferior sour wine seized from the fallen sword temple, but not much to drink. Of course, the meat can be enough!" Lu Xi said to Hawkeye: "Thank you for your selflessness, Brother Ka!"
The elves smiled bitterly. The meatiest ones in their recipes were eggs and dairy products. The livestock that had been driven through hardships was equivalent to selfless dedication to the allies. Of course, the Night Blade Black Panthers could have a good meal because of this.
"Great! This is the best news since I was abducted by you." The bearded dwarf princess Amosala applauded. With meat and wine, the dwarfs will feel happy. Of course, if there is a mine to satisfy their desire to dig, it will be the happiest thing.
"It's not a pirate ship. It's been air these days, and you can actually make some preparations in advance." Lu Xi took out a piece of parchment paper and handed it to Miss Dwarf: "This is an ancient document found in the dark room of the temple. If there is no error, in the mountains half a day away from here, there should be a large mine of the ancient Gelsa Empire, rich in good iron ore, peacock steel and various gem mines accompanied by it, and the reserves are huge. When the Gelsa people were destroyed, the veins were far from exhausted, and it is said that even one-third of them were not dug. Unfortunately, the mining conditions there are very difficult, exceeding the technical level of the orcs, so they are abandoned, but it should not be a problem for you. In addition, near the mine, there is a seven-obsidian mine with even greater reserves, mainly earth ore and water orchards. This is the first reward I paid to the Fort first?"
"..." The dwarf lady was stunned and took the sheepskin sheet blankly. Looking at the messy ancient Gelesavon on it, she couldn't speak for a moment.
"It's not good to say that the reward is not good, it makes you look like the mercenaries I invited. The bento is a proof of my sincerity?" Lu Xi said with a smile.
"Ha... Lu Xi Berencaster, although you look like this, you are as happy as a dwarf!" Dwarfs are a race with a lot of confidence. In their culture, praising the other party as "like a dwarf" is basically the highest praise. Of course, it seems a bit uncomfortable to others. Miss Amosala happily put away the sheepskin and said, "I will send an engineering team to set out tomorrow. If the reserves are really huge, you can probably choose the place where you dig the city.
Well, your dwarfs' cities were "dig" out.
"However, is it reasonable for your country's top leaders to give such strategic resources to us so casually?"
"I still know a little about the style of the despise country. As long as you control the mine, they will have no reason to attack again. At most, I will stalk my little paper man behind my back. Haha, I have never expected my image in the minds of the senior management, so of course it doesn't matter."
In short, the ownership of the largest spoil near the Falling Blade Temple was so pleasantly decided. In the minds of the senior leaders of the coalition forces, the enemy army that was rushing towards them seemed to be completely not a problem.
