On the north shore of Xingxing Lake, the sun is only a small part above the horizon, and a gray-white moon hangs above the eastern horizon.
The smell of blood drifted in the evening wind while I slept, lingering near the lake shore for a long time. The beast that smelled the smell lingered in the distance, and from time to time a majestic roar was heard.
The orcs dragged the slaughtered cattle and sheep toward the lake. The blood flowing from their necks soaked the dry grass.
A half-orc with shiny bronze skin stood on a small hill, facing the north.
The red upper body is lined with protruding muscles, the long hair is spread over the shoulders, and the face is square and square with sharp edges and corners.
Unlike other half-orcs who have all kinds of tattoos on their bodies, this man has a huge black poisonous scorpion tattooed on his back.
His chest slowly rose and fell with his breathing, and a pair of gloomy eyes stared fiercely at the northern horizon, like a scorpion waiting for an opportunity to crucify the enemy.
A beautiful woman, wrapped in black silk, approached him.
Wearing a long black dress swaying in the evening breeze, the wind-blown satin clinging to her body outlined her curvaceous figure, like a seductive night elf.
The long black hair is like moistened satin, spread on the soft and round shoulders, the skin is as smooth as milk, the perfect and delicate face, the thin eyebrows as curved as Qiu Dai, and the lavender as bright as crystal
Eyes.
Those charming eyes that can drip water seem to be able to speak. In their infinite charm, they reveal some sad and helpless feelings.
Every man who sees these eyes will instantly feel a burning desire for possession in his heart, wanting to hold this perfect and slender body under his palms and ravage it.
She looked at the tall and strong man next to her, and said softly in a voice that was half magnetic and half delicate: "Your Majesty."
The man with the scorpion tattoo raised his hand, lifted her delicate jade-like chin with his index finger, caressed her cheek with his rough thumb, and said softly: "Deipole, Deipole, my lovely lamb, I said
Don’t call me King, you should call me Vic.”
Deipole raised his head, his eyes were half-closed, his eyes became blurred, his face slowly flushed, his breathing slowed down, and he made "um" and "um" sounds from his nose, with a soft and lost expression.
The voice murmured: "No, Your Majesty, someone is coming." It looked even more charming and weak, with a posture of wanting to refuse but to welcome.
Vechin and Tolek's breathing suddenly became heavy, their eyes were impatient and possessive, they looked up and down at Deipole unscrupulously, their cheeks twitched a few times, Vechin and Tolek's expressions suddenly changed, and they narrowed their eyes.
Eyes, lips tightened, hands slowly left Deipole's face.
A group of orcs slowly walked up the mountain. They were different from ordinary orcs who were all dressed in fur. They were all gorgeously dressed, wearing various gold, silver and gemstone accessories. Their faces were painted with white or yellow patterns, and they had a long-lived look.
The aura of high position. It can be seen at a glance that these orcs are important figures in the tribe.
Each of these orcs had a straight face and looked at Vechin and Torek seriously, but whenever they turned their eyes to Deipole, they unabashedly revealed their possessive desire to strip Deipole naked and gasped.
He stared at her graceful expression while sighing.
Deipole moved back with a frightened look in his eyes, which only made these orcs look even more unscrupulously.
Vechin and Tolek frowned and glanced at them fiercely. The half-orcs lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at Deipole again. They also looked back at the shaman who was wrapped in black clothes under the mountain.
Those are the invincible trump card of the Dulci people - the black shaman.
They hold white bone staffs, wear skull necklaces, and exude a stench that disgusts even orcs. But they have a unique skill - they can turn living warriors into zombies that know no pain and fatigue.
Therefore, all orcs who believe in the immortal soul fear them.
One of the orc chiefs withdrew his disgusted eyes, looked at Vachin and Torek angrily, and shouted in a rough voice: "Vitchen and Torek, according to your request, we will bring our most powerful
Soldiers are here. What do you want? Fight if you want, we Vilagri people have never been afraid of anyone!"
Vechin and Torek turned to look at him contemptuously, without speaking, but turned back to look at the north, and said slowly: "A thousand years ago, we were all brothers of the same great empire. A thousand years ago, we were all brothers of the same great empire.
Finally, our sacred orcs killed each other for water, killed each other for cattle and sheep, and killed each other for women.
But no one has ever looked beyond the grassland.
There~!”
Vechin and Torek pointed to the north, and then shouted loudly: "In that place not far away, there is the most delicious and mellow wine, there are women who are fresher than lambs, there are endless grains, there are
Gold treasures everywhere.
We can no longer be like the wolves in winter, content to pick out one from the sheepfold.
Now we have to conquer it."
The orc chiefs couldn't help but look at each other.
These half-orc chiefs have long heard about the prosperity of human society. The trophies brought back by hunting teams every autumn can always be exchanged for a lot of food and women, and now they hear Vechin and Torek talking about wanting to take possession of them.
The human territory suddenly became excited.
They all started talking.
"Knives, wine, women, cattle, sheep, slaves, everything is there."
"They also have gorgeous houses where even a farmer's residence is more comfortable than our tent."
"No drought, no locust plagues, no man-eating beasts."
Someone yelled excitedly: "We can no longer fight each other for the pasture that we will never have enough to eat. There is everything we need there."
The chief of Vilagri crossed his shoulders and looked coldly at those short-sighted fools shouting excitedly under the instigation of Vechin and Torek, and then roared angrily, saying: "Are you crazy? Are you crazy?
Do you know how many humans there are in the north? He
How many soldiers do we have, and their swords are many times harder than mine. We fight with humans every year, and more of us die for the food that we live by. Vechin and Torek, you big scorpion, do you want us to
Do they all die under the high walls of mankind?"
That’s right~! Human girls are beautiful, the wine is sweet, the houses are gorgeous, and the cattle and sheep are fat, but their warriors are not made of hard food. And they themselves are not made of iron. If they stab them with a knife, they will die.
.
At that time, his house will be occupied by other orcs, his beautiful wife will be slept with by others, and his son will be used as a slave by others.
The orc chiefs who had just become fanatical became quiet again. They thought about it calmly. Over the years, except for sneak attacks and grabbing some things, they had never taken advantage of the powerful human army. Moreover, they
I don't know how to attack the city at all, and I can only do nothing when facing the solid human fortress.
It is common to be chased away by a human army with only half their number. Even the most powerful wolf cavalry of the orcs can only run away when faced with hundreds or thousands of human cavalry.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Vechin and Tolek.
Vechin and Torek laughed and said: "That's because humans have sharp blades and high walls. Under my leadership, this time will be different. I am absolutely sure to break through their walls."
He paused, then pointed to a dark figure behind the crowd, and said loudly: "To tell you frankly, my internal agents in the human city will open the city gate when we arrive. The once impenetrable fortress of human beings can easily fall
It’s in our hands.”
Everyone turned around and saw that the man was covered in a black robe, and his face was hidden in the darkness of the hood. His face could not be seen clearly. But compared to an orc, his figure was somewhat slender.
, everyone knew immediately that this guy must be a human being.
Everyone unanimously cast contemptuous glances at that person - no matter how useful a traitor is, he will always be looked down upon.
At this time, I heard Wei Qian and Torek waving their arms and continuing to roar excitedly: "At that time, their soldiers will have their souls drained by my shaman and become obedient puppets.
Everything will belong to us, the wine and women are there waiting for us to enjoy.
By that time, the plains of Nadel will become our pastures, human slaves will farm for us, and every human woman will be lying in bed waiting for you."
Vechin and Torek turned towards the Orc chiefs, clenched their thick fists, and shouted sternly: "Don't you want this kind of life?"
The orc chiefs widened their eyes and shouted: "Think."
"Conquer them~!"
Vechin and Torek raised their hands to the sky and shouted: "Then follow me with your warriors. We will rebuild the great Orc Empire and rebuild our glory~!"
Under the instigation of Vechin and Torek, the orcs raised their weapons and howled like wolves. The desire to conquer and plunder ignited in the hearts of the orc warriors.
Sitting Wolf seemed to hear his master's call and howled at the brightening moon.
The long and shrill sound spread throughout the entire lakeshore in an instant.
Behind them were tents stretching to the horizon. The bonfires lit by the soldiers were more numerous than the stars in the sky, and the flags painted with tribal totems were as dense as a jungle.
On September 17, 832 in the Julian calendar, before the human world was aware of it, the half-orc tribe who wanted to rebuild the orc empire assembled a powerful armed force.
Although it is still unknown at this time, once it breaks out of the grassland, it will definitely shock the world.
Lorraine was attending the banquet, while Catherine, Adele and Leo were peeking in the next room.
The two girls don't like those smelly orcs, but don't forget, women, children, and cats, these three creatures are the most curious.
There are already two of them here. No matter what happens, they will not miss this opportunity. Therefore, they choose to observe carefully in the dark.
As for Leo, because under Catherine's strict order, he unfortunately can no longer play the Juggernaut game, he came here to remember it and satisfy his eyesight.
At this time, I saw Delino drinking two high-strength wine from the barrel in one breath. His eyes turned red, hot air was spraying from his nose, he kept burping, and the smell of alcohol was sprayed out.
Relying on the alcohol, he stared at Lorraine with blood-red eyes, suddenly slammed the table, and said loudly: "I said you humans are stingy, stingy in welcoming us, and stingy in negotiating with us.
You humans are so rich, you have enough to eat every day, and you are never afraid of starvation. So what if I say... give us orcs a little, so... this way, we half-orcs will just... just... not
Are we here to rob you? Don’t you think so? Chief Furry, hahaha, Chief Fury, you are a furry just like us chiefs.”
All the orcs next to Delino stopped immediately, and one of them shouted something loudly in Orc language to Delino.
Delino was furious and pushed him angrily, pointed at him and yelled something.
Lorraine watched the scene in front of her with interest, then leaned back and hooked her fingers back.
An interpreter behind him hurriedly came forward, leaned into his ear, and translated in a low voice: "The man said he was drunk. He said that man was not a warrior, but a coward who could only run away."
Delino cursed a few words and dismissed the man. Then he turned his head, slammed the table again, spit at Lorraine, and said: "You said, you said, you...have...
There is so much food, but... we can't eat it, and there are so many steel knives, all piled up... all rusting in the warehouse, why don't you give us some, and we can help you fight, why not, we... I
I can also give you furs to exchange for."
Lorraine smiled and said, "Would you give your women to tribesmen who don't have women?"
"If I like... like that guy, I will give it to him." Delino waved his hand and said carelessly.
"So... where is your son?" Lorraine asked.
Delino pounded the table, stood up and shouted: "You can't give me a son~!"
"Our reasoning is the same. Your son will give you grandchildren. If you have more grandchildren, everyone will be afraid of you. If we have more food and weapons, others will also be afraid of us."
Delino grinned, slapped Lorraine on the shoulder, and shouted: "It makes sense, um, it makes sense. Where is the woman? I'll give you a woman, and you give me a woman? What if I give you a woman? At worst, I'll swap the two.
You can have one or three for one. Hahaha..."
Lorraine picked up the wine glass, glanced at Delino, looked at the blood-red wine and smiled.
At this time, a Guardsman quietly walked in from outside.
He bypassed the desk, went straight to Lorraine, and whispered in Lorraine's ear: "Sir, someone is looking for you. It's in your study."
Lorraine nodded slightly and said, "I understand." She stood up and left the banquet hall.
After walking out of the gate, General Philip walked out of the darkness, nodded to Lorraine, and whispered happily: "Sir, the Tenth Army of the East has arrived."
Lorraine said in surprise: "So fast!"
Catherine also hurriedly ran over from the side and asked: "What happened?"
"The people sent by your father have arrived."
Lorraine and Catherine hurried into the study room in the house.
An officer in armor, holding his helmet, sat upright on a chair in the study.
When he saw Lorraine and Catherine coming in, he jumped up, saluted, and said loudly: "The 10th Eastern Legion, the commander and adjutant of the legion, Jino, reports to you, sir, eldest lady.
Lord Governor, the Tenth Army of the East has arrived at its destination. The entire army has completed combat preparations and is ready to attack the orcs at any time, waiting for your order!"
Lorraine nodded to him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please sit down, Adjutant Jino."
Jino scratched his head and grinned: "I'd better stand, sir, otherwise I won't feel comfortable."
Catherine smiled and said: "Sit down if I ask you to, Jino, when did you become so obedient?"
"Yes, Miss."
With that said, he sat back down as quickly as lightning.
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated. She sighed in her heart: It seems that her words are not effective enough.
He glanced at Catherine, then coughed slightly, and said to the officer: "You are so fast, you are worthy of being the number one main force on the Eastern Front."
Jino puffed up his chest and said loudly and proudly: "Yes, sir."
When the Aquitaine suddenly appeared on the border, Lorraine and Catherine thought that their men would not have enough troops. Catherine naturally thought of her father, Archduke Julius, and immediately wrote to Archduke Julius asking for reinforcements.
.
Since it was his daughter and son-in-law who was in trouble, and under his nose, Grand Duke Julius did not hesitate and wrote back, "I am very generous~!"
Then the old guy gave Lorraine a huge salary and sent his most powerful thugs to Lorraine.
In order to strengthen the elite army with a full strength of 8,000 people, Lorraine made great efforts and paid a full 160,000 gold coins, which made Grand Duke Julius sigh when he met everyone in Constantinople: He really did not raise his daughter in vain~!
This made all the residents of Constantinople feel extremely surprised. When did this happen?
Everyone knows that Archduke Julius doesn't care about anything except fighting. If it weren't for Catherine's shrewdness and ability, the old guy would have gone bankrupt and starved to death.
Lorraine maliciously speculated whether her father-in-law had been used by the death squads (Russell often sent troops to Archduke Julius recently and asked the Grand Duke to help settle matters), so he gave himself the most expensive army to save energy.
Emission reduction.
But at this time, reinforcements arrived, and Lorraine finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "I can feel relieved. Nicole, let's go and deal with those orcs. The orcs on the border, even if they are good people, they
Also a half-orc."
At this moment, a huge commotion was heard coming from the direction of the banquet hall.
The screams of women, the sound of seats collapsing, the clear and crisp sound of tableware falling to the ground, and the roars of half-beasts mixed together, it was extremely chaotic~!
"What happened?" Lorraine and Catherine stood up suddenly.
