The midday sun pushed back the dark fog, but it could not dispel the haze of killings that shrouded Nordburg.
The glory of the past is now stained with blood, and the corpses of humans and trolls wantonly occupy the land of the castle, expressing the cruelty of war.
What is even more regrettable is that the courtyard where the guards once stood is now full of trolls, and the owner of Nordburg, Baron Renault, has retreated to the main building under the force of sharp blades and fists.
Fortunately, the troll was exhausted from the long fight and did not launch an attack immediately, giving Renault and others a chance to breathe.
…
"Baron, right?"
Outside the main building of Nordburg, Jinrok shouted: "Mr. Baron, give up your resistance. Even the high walls of the castle can't stop me. You are just wasting your time now."
I can guarantee that if you come out now, I will never harm you or your subordinates.
But if you don’t come out..."
Jin Rock changed the subject, his tone suddenly became cold, and he said sternly: "There will not be a single human alive in Nordburg!"
This is already the second time Jinrok has shouted - it is not his mercy, this is the decision of the high priest.
With Jinrok's temperament, if he were allowed to make a decision, he would have led the trolls in by now.
However, the result was the same as last time, there was still no response from the main building.
If Jinroc's trolls hadn't surrounded the entire castle, he would have even thought that Raynor had escaped.
…
There is no tunnel in the castle, and Renault has no way to escape.
But his hatred for the trolls made it difficult for him to accept surrender, and he didn't believe in the promises of these beasts, so he never paid attention to Jinrok.
Now Renault just wants to stay by Onif's side and accompany her quietly.
"Don't be sad, my dear, people will die in the war."
Onifu smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Renault's chubby cheeks.
She was so strong that she would hurt Renault every time, but this time she couldn't put a smile on Renault's face.
In fact, Renault also wanted to laugh, but when he saw Onif's flesh and blood turned out under the broken armor, he could only hold back from crying.
Renault held Onifu's big hand, his eyes full of sadness,
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I can't protect you like a warrior."
"What are you talking about, my dear, you have been beaten since you were a child. Didn't I know this a long time ago?"
Onifu tried her best to smile, "But you are still my choice, and I have never regretted it."
"sorry……"
"Listen to me, dear,"
Onifu interrupted Renault and said: "You promise to Jinrok later, and then I will block him for you, and then you take the other guards and escape from the castle..."
"No, I will not give up on you, Onifu, even if it means death, I will stay with you."
Renault shook his head and rejected Onifu's proposal. Although his tone was calm, he was very firm.
At this time, another voice suddenly came from outside the gate. Different from the roughness of the troll, this voice was closer to humans.
"Dear Baron Renault, if you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid your wife will never have a chance to save her."
…
Jinrok's recklessness and incompetence made Karma frown. The powerless threat at this time was definitely useless - which human would believe that the beast-like troll would let him go?
So he pushed Jin Luoke away and walked to the door on his own initiative. The words just now came from his mouth.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Karma, the high priest of the Bloodtooth Tribe. The Baron can completely believe my words. I can swear by my faith that we will never harm you."
Karma said loudly: "Although the Bloodtooth Tribe has invaded here, in fact we just want to cooperate with you in trade, live here, and build a prosperous Nord Island with humans."
"Don't you trolls have your own island?"
This time, Renault's voice finally came from the main building, shouting: "Even if it doesn't happen, there are many desert islands in the northeast, and you can go and live there!"
"No, no, no, Baron Renault, trolls only know how to fight, not hunt. They live their lives by plundering. You can say that trolls are despicable and shameless robbers, but it cannot change the fact."
Karma spoke very calmly, and the trolls next to him didn't care.
They cannot disobey the high priest, and they do not care what humans call themselves - just like humans don't care about pig's feet.
In fact, Kalma's meaning is very simple, that is, to enslave humans to continue farming for trolls on Nord Island, and these humans also need a leader, and Renault is a suitable candidate.
In addition, he has another idea - to create more hybrids like him.
Reproductive isolation in the Aosen world is basically non-existent. It is possible for any two species to combine to give birth to new organisms, but the probability is just high or low.
"Of course, we can discuss some specific things again. Now if you are interested, I can help you treat your wife's wounds."
Karma's voice was not loud, but she said something that made Renault extremely worried,
"It's still too late now, I can help you bring her back from death."
This sentence caused silence in the main building.
After a long time, Renault's voice came out again,
"What proof do you have that you can save Onifu?"
Such a reply immediately put a satisfied smile on Karma's face. He said slowly: "I can give you a bottle of medicine. You can send someone to get it and give it to your wife. If it works, you can make a decision."
"High Priest, do you really want to save that female warrior?"
Jin Luoke lowered his voice and said: "She is very strong. I just severely injured her with your help. If I save her..."
"Shut up!"
Karma growled, and the latter immediately stopped talking.
There was another silence in the main building, and after a long time, Renault's voice finally sounded again,
"Well, if you can really save Onifu, I can consider cooperating with the troll..."
"General, no good, General!"
Before Renault could finish his words, he was interrupted by the rough shout of the troll. At this time, a troll hurriedly ran into Nordburg!
"Shut up!"
Jinrok glared at the troll that rushed in and scolded: "Why panic!"
Karma was also roaring with rage, but he was able to keep his composure and asked, "Speak down, what's going on?"
"The trolls guarding the harbor didn't know what they ate, and they were all poisoned!"
The troll said nervously: "Centurion Vosa and many trolls are unconscious, and others have red eyes and are weak. They can only come to you, the high priest, for help!"
This news made Karma frown for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't think of anything on Nord Island that could poison the trolls collectively.
But no matter what, hundreds of trolls were doing this at the same time, so he had to pay attention.
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Karma gave an order, and followed the troll who reported the message and left the castle.
After Jinrok ordered his men to guard the main building, he hurriedly followed Karma.
After all, he is the leader of the Bloodtooth Tribe, and these trolls are his subjects.
…
The troll who reported the news did not lie. The trolls guarding the port outside the castle all sat on the ground witheredly, and the centurion Votha who led them fainted on the ground.
Karma and Jinrok didn't think much. They ran forward quickly and asked the strange-looking troll: "What did you eat? How could this happen?"
"It's just that I drank some wine. I don't know about other things..."
The troll sitting at the front was confused and couldn't speak clearly before he fell to the ground.
Jinrok grabbed the troll and shook it. The latter still looked weak, so he could only give up and throw it aside.
Then Kinrok walked up to Vossa and slapped the latter's face in an attempt to wake him up, but to no avail.
"Their condition is very bad, I have a bad feeling."
Karma stared at the troll lying on the ground with a gloomy face, feeling a little regretful.
In order to attack Nordburg, all the pterodactyl riders were brought over. If I had known this, I should have left one at the port.
This way the message will be delivered more quickly and will not be restricted like this.
Too careless.
Karma thought for a moment and ordered: "Take them back to the castle first. I want to check their blood and organs."
"Yes, High Priest!"
Jinrok responded and immediately ordered other trolls to pick up all the trolls on the ground and send them to the castle.
At this moment, Karma suddenly noticed something strange and asked, "Why do you smell like blood?"
He frowned and sniffed the trolls carefully, looked at one of the trolls and asked: "I remember you still had wounds on your body yesterday, why have they disappeared now?"
This reminder made Kinrok react, and he immediately ran to Vossa's side to check the opponent's midfielder.
At this moment, Vosa suddenly opened his eyes, and a dagger under his arm was inserted directly into Jin Rok's neck!
