In the north of the Eslar continent, there is a vast prairie, which is the Nantalun Prairie. To the north of the grassland, there is the longest, highest and most steep "Hengduan Mountains" on the continent as a barrier, blocking the cold current coming from the "frozen plateau" in the far north. Therefore, the Nantalun Prairie and the hilly areas south of it extending to the Southern Whispering Forest have a pleasant climate and abundant products, making them very suitable for life.
A long time ago, the Nantalun Prairie was the hometown of the orcs. The strong orcs occupied the fertile pastures here, formed tribes of various sizes, and went south to rob humans from time to time, even those who had lived on horseback for generations. The Clay people also had to migrate year by year to avoid the edge of the orcs.
Two hundred years ago, Fernando I, the founder of the Holy Empire, led the human army that defeated the undead army and launched a war against the orcs here. The war soon spread to the entire Nantalun grassland. Under the heroic cavalry charge of the Royal Knights, even the strong orcs could only retreat steadily. They were eventually driven out of the South Talon Prairie by the human army and had to go north through the Hengduan Mountains and flee to the North Talon Prairie. .
After the war, Fernando I built a strong fortress at the Hengduan Grand Canyon connecting the north and south Talen grasslands, and deployed heavy troops to prevent the orcs from counterattacking. This is an extremely strong fortress. Even the invincible Fernando I had to say with emotion when he stood on the wall of the fortress and looked to the north: "I'm afraid only the wrath of the God of Thunder can destroy this place, right?"
Therefore, the fortress got its name. This is the most important line of defense in the north of mankind - "Thor Fortress".
To the north of the fortress is the North Talon Prairie. Although the name here is only one word different from the South Talon Prairie, due to the fact that it is located on both sides of the "Hengduan Mountains", the North Talon Prairie is affected by the frozen plateau all year round. Due to the cold current, the climate is cold, and all things grow slowly. The orcs have to live in pursuit of water and grass every year, and the living environment is very harsh.
The orcs who have lost their hometown are always thinking about attacking the Thunder God Fortress and opening the passage south. Therefore, every 20 years or so, when the next generation of orcs reaches adulthood, the orcs will use all their clan strength to attack the Thunder God Fortress. .
Although orcs are strong, brave and good at fighting, they are no match for humans in other aspects. Whether it is territorial properties, weapon production, army quality or military command, orcs are far inferior to humans. In addition, the precipitous terrain of Thor Fortress Due to the terrain, the orc army was always unable to break the defense of the human army, and could only helplessly abandon thousands of corpses, retreat sadly, and then wait for more than ten years for the next generation to slowly grow up again.
In the northwest of the Beitalon Prairie, there is a huge castle - "Beamon Castle". This orc city is named after the legendary ancient behemoth "Beamon". It is the beast king Andrea who rules the entire orc tribe. The place where Si lives.
Fifty years ago, after the Night Wolf clan, which ruled the orc clan, failed to attack the Thunder God Fortress with all its strength, the Barbarian Bear clan to which Andreas belonged took the opportunity to rise and launched a war for the Beast King, massacring all the members of the Wild Wolf clan. , Andreas' father became the new Beast King.
"Your Majesty the Beast King." An old voice came from outside the palace. Soon, an old orc man wearing white clothes made of beast furs walked in slowly. He was the man behind the rise of the Barbarian Bear Clan. Prophet Evan.
Fifty years ago, it was he who advised the father of Beast King Andreas and eradicated the Wild Wolf Clan in one fell swoop. After the Beast King Andreas came to the throne, he respected the prophet Evan even more. He gave him the title of prophet and changed his name to "Evan-Prophet", which enhanced his status in the beast clan. It is equivalent to the status of the royal chief magician in a human country.
The clothing worn by Prophet Evan was made from the fur of a strong white bear, a trophy obtained by Beast King Andreas when he first hunted with his father, which symbolized his status in the orc clan. A necklace made of the skulls of an unknown beast hung around his skinny neck, and in his hand he held a totem made of the thigh bone of some huge beast, with an abstract drawing of a roaring black bear and a large number of images carved on it. There are words that are indiscernible to humans.
The strong beast king Andreas sat on a stone chair covered with black bear fur. He looked at Evan, his most trusted prophet, and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
As soon as Prophet Evan sat down, he said impatiently to Beast King Andreas: "Our allies brought new news. Two months ago, at the competitive competition in Fernando City, humans had a team The adventurer team defeated the Royal Knights team.”
"What?" Beast King Andreas couldn't help but stand up when he heard the news for the first time. He waved his arms excitedly, drawing several phantoms in the air. The sharp sound of breaking through the air filled the palace. Along with the sound of "push, plop", several fist marks suddenly appeared on the huge stone wall not far away.
"I'm so excited," Beast King Andreas roared loudly: "The Royal Knights, who have had an undefeated record for two hundred years, will also fail one day. It seems that everything we have been planning for many years is about to begin. If it is implemented, the day when we, the Barbarian Bear Clan, will return to our hometown is not far away!”
Prophet Evan looked at the excited Beast King Andreas with a smile. He has always regarded the Beast King Andreas as his own child, watching him grow day by day, becoming the Beast King, and possessing powerful force. Today, the allies of the Beastmen brought this exciting news , which means that years of hard work will finally pay off.
"Your Majesty the Beast King, we still need a little time. I think it's time for us to start the second step of our plan." Prophet Evan reminded the Beast King Andreas: "It's time to meet our human friends."
"He should have come with you, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. He is just outside the palace."
"Well, bring our friends to see me." The Beast King gave the order in a majestic voice.
Soon, a human being shrouded in a black cloak walked into the palace under the guidance of an elite blood guard with a bloody feather on his head, naked upper body, and holding a black giant axe.
The Beast King waved his hand, and the fifty elite blood guards stationed in the palace retreated together.
When there were only three people left in the palace, the human being, covered in a black cloak, suddenly lifted the cloak over his head. He turned out to be the leader of the rebels in Sike City, and had escaped from the Holy Land in Sheephorn Town. Senat, whose whereabouts have been missing since the knights hunted him down.
Senat's face was full of confidence. Ever since he used the "Gate of Time and Space" scroll to teleport to this northern city half a year ago and met the Beast King and his prophet Evan, he has been treated in an extremely polite manner by them. Under house arrest. However, although the Senat is here, the power he controls is still active, bringing him all kinds of information about what happened in the human kingdom.
When Senat learned for the first time last night that the Royal Knights had been defeated in the Royal Athletic Competition, he immediately realized the importance of the news sent by his men through special channels.
When Senat learned that the Beast King wanted to see him, he couldn't help feeling ecstatic. It seemed that he must have impressed the Beast King this time.
"I think your respected Majesty the Beast King has already thought through my last proposal, right?"
