Emperor Honglong

Chapter 112: The war is over

Views:

Quiet~.

When the red dragon said to multiply by 10,000, the scene of 50,000 to 60,000 people was silent.

Graeme Stonehammer stared at the red dragon, tightening the hammer in his hand.

Damn dragon! Doesn't bullying orcs count? !

He quietly moved back and asked in a low voice, "What is eighty thousand times ten thousand?"

The shaman's lips were dry, and he didn't know how to answer the chief's question.

The Stonehammer orc tribe followed the ancient tradition, never gave up on any of their tribesmen, and did not accumulate wealth by squeezing the bottom. On the contrary, when ordinary tribesmen encountered difficulties, they would use the tribe's savings to subsidize them.

This made the people of the Stone Hammer tribe gather together, very united, but also very poor. When they were the richest, the savings in the tribe did not exceed four figures. The figure of 800 million was far beyond the shaman's cognition.

"Anyway, there are many, very many, don't promise."

Graeme Stonehammer frowned, but if he didn't agree, everyone would die if the red dragon got angry.

As a powerful orc chieftain, he has his own judgment and way of solving problems.

"Your asking price is too high. Let's play a game. If you win, it's up to you. If I win, it will be 80,000 gold coins."

"Huh?" Jose frowned.

The brain circuits of the orcs are really strange. Faced with unfair high-ranking, even the bewildered little elves knew to bargain, but the first reaction of the orc chief was not to bargain, but to solve the problem with his fists.

However, this is also in line with the orc's philosophy of life: if you can't win with your fists, you still want to get it with your mouth? !

Do you want to fight

Jose's heart moved, and he said loudly: "This is not acceptable. If I accidentally beat you to death and you don't pay the debt, then I am at a big loss!"

"Change the style of play, one blow will determine the outcome!" He raised a dragon claw and spread his palm: "As long as you can break the scales in my palm, you will win."

And such a good thing? !

It is easier to win the red dragon or break the red dragon's scales. This question is almost unnecessary to think about. Graeme Stonehammer is afraid that the red dragon will go back.

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

"Wait a minute, chief!" The shaman stopped Graeme who was eager to try, and whispered: "Sign the contract first, lest the red dragon go back on its word."

"Hey! Do you think I can't hear you if you keep quiet!" Jose's face darkened, and his voice changed: "But it's better to sign the contract first, and I'm worried that you will go back on your word."

Graeme puffed up his chest and said proudly: "The orcs spit and nail! Never regret it!"

"Wu Yanzu Shadow Moon."

"Bah! Don't compare the stone hammer orc with the shame of that orc!"

On the one hand, the shaman had already taken out a parchment scroll and began to write. It was finished in a minute. After writing, he checked it again and blew on the contract paper.

The invisible wind picked up the scroll and flew towards the red dragon.

Jose took the parchment and checked the content of the contract. The content of the contract is roughly as follows:

The Stone Hammer Orc Tribe pays war reparations in exchange for Red Dragon's forgiveness. The amount of compensation depends on the result of the duel between the leaders of the two sides. Before the debt is paid off, the adult warriors of the Stone Hammer Orc work for the Red Dragon to repay the debt. The freedom of the hammer orcs, this contract is witnessed by the God of Justice.

After reading the terms of the contract, Jose signed his name and returned the parchment with the hand of a mage.

Graeme Stonehammer signed the name on behalf of the Stonehammer orc tribe, and then handed the parchment to the old shaman.

The old shaman took the sheepskin scroll and took a look, drew a circle on the grass with his cane, put the sheepskin scroll in the circle, paused, took off the animal bone necklace around his neck with a painful face, and put it in the circle. In the circle, he closed his eyes and muttered something.

A faint phantom of the balance appeared out of thin air. The phantom was not big, but it was holy and majestic. The light shone on the parchment, and one parchment became two. At the same time, the animal bone necklace as a sacrifice disappeared. .

The fair contract ceremony was over, and one of the two parchment scrolls flew to the orc chief, and the other flew to the red dragon.

Jose took the flying parchment, felt the faint divine power on the parchment, and felt a little strange: "I didn't expect you to still keep the ancient fair contract ceremony."

The most common magic contract now is to use the contract paper sold by the Church of the God of Justice. After the two parties sign the contract, the contract paper will spontaneously ignite without fire, representing the God of Justice to witness the contract between the two parties.

Before the popularity of magic contract paper, if you want the God of Justice to witness the transaction between the two parties, you need to put the content of the contract and tribute, and read specific spells, just like before.

Putting away the contract paper, Jose lifted the dragon claws and opened a gap in the seal of [Phoenix Heart]. Massive fire elements gathered in the palm, strengthening the palm scales.

The orc chief stared at the flaming palm of the red dragon with solemn eyes, moved his fingers, and clenched the war hammer wrapped in coarse cloth.

"Roar!"

He let out a battle cry, his muscles puffed up, and he charged forward.

When approaching the red dragon, he held the end of the warhammer with both hands, twisting his body like a golf swing.

"Drink!"

This blow gathered Graeme Stonehammer's whole body strength, and the warhammer wrapped in rich energy broke through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

On the other side, Jose fiercely slapped the burning dragon claws, the huge dragon claws were bigger than the orc chieftain, with the whistling sound of piercing the air, it was as powerful as thunder.

At the same time, he activated [Dana's Shield], and the master magic—the power of the earth was launched.

A steady stream of khaki-yellow energy spread from the ground under the red dragon's feet, concentrated along the soles of the feet and body to the center of the dragon's claws, and added a layer of protection to the already strengthened scales.

Phew!

Like gold and iron striking each other, the orc chief was shocked by the huge force of the shock and retreated again and again, taking one step at a time.

In the process of retreating, he stared at the raised palm of the red dragon, his eyes were full of disbelief.

His full blow didn't even break the red dragon's scales!

"It seems that I won," Jose said indifferently. He pretended to be calm and retracted the dragon claw, and secretly rubbed the dragon claw on the grass.

Nima! The power of this orc must be too great! The double strengthening actually made my palms go numb!

You must know that the double strengthening of [Power of the Earth] and [Phoenix Heart] is stronger than ordinary master-level defensive magic, and the defense of the dragon scale itself is not weak.

Even so, the red dragon's claws were numb as if it had been electrocuted.

As expected of an orc warrior at the pinnacle of master level!

Graeme Stonehammer's expression was mixed. He had both admiration for the power of the Red Dragon and disappointment at his own failure. It's completely settled.

Today, no stonehammer orcs will shed blood, only to be burdened with heavy debts.

He turned back to the tribal camp, immediately arranged for men to chase, notified the fleeing clansmen, and asked in a low voice: "Shaman, how long can we pay off the debt?"

The old shaman's face turned bitter: "Stone Hammer's grandson can pay off his debts, it is already blessed by the beast god."

"So long?!" Graeme couldn't help exclaiming, his expression changed drastically.

Previously, he only knew that 80,000 times 10,000 was a large sum of money, but he had no idea of the exact amount of the money. He only thought that he would spend his whole life at most, but he didn't expect that it would harm his children and grandchildren, and it was not just one generation or two. But a dozen generations.

At this time, he realized how unreasonable the compensation Red Dragon wanted.

On the other side, hearing the orc's shout, Jose's heart moved: "Graeme, as long as you become my family member, I will forgive the Stone Hammer tribe's 100 million debts, one eighth at once, how about it?"

Graham didn't know how much 100 million was, but he knew one-eighth of it. He counted silently in his heart, and reducing the debt of 100 million would save the efforts of a generation of Stonehammer tribe.

As a result, the iron-blooded chief who was not afraid of death fell silent.

After a long time, he squeezed out three words between his teeth: "Cut in half!"

"Okay!" Jose agreed without thinking.

Graeme looked up at the red dragon, he didn't expect the red dragon to be so easy to talk.

Immediately, the two signed a family contract.

Seeing the disappointed orc chief, Jose said loudly: "Sorrow and loss are of no benefit. My servant, do your best for me. Maybe I'll forgive the Stonehammer tribe's debts when I'm happy!"

"Understood, my...master," Graeme Stonehammer resigned, barely pulling himself together.

At this moment, he also realized that the Red Dragon didn't value the debts of the Stone Hammer Tribe, and repaying the debts might not be as difficult as he imagined. The premise was as the Red Dragon said-do things well.

"Although uneducated, straight-tempered, but not stupid," Jose knew Graeme's thoughts through reading thoughts, and evaluated him in his heart.

Just as Graham thought, Jose didn't think much of the Stone Hammer tribe's debts, because he never expected the orcs to really pay back the debts.

The debt is just a pretext, a pretext to tie the stone hammer orcs to one's own warship.

As long as they get on the boat, the Stonehammer orcs don't want to go on. Jose has too many means to keep them on board, and maybe the Stonehammer orcs don't want to leave after they get on the boat.

Excellent weapons, rich material life, opportunities to systematically learn professional knowledge... For these aborigines who have never stepped out of the grassland in their entire lives, the Moduo Peak Forest has too many temptations.

If the Stonehammer orcs were to fully integrate into the Mordo Peak Forest and serve the Red Dragon wholeheartedly, then as How Sai just said, it would be fine to cancel all debts directly.

The first step of the plan is to shorten the distance between the two parties, the physical distance.

After thinking for a while, Jose felt that the place vacated by the brown-skinned wild boar was good. It was protected by thorns, and because it was closer to the south, the climate was better than that in the north.

"Graeme, move your tribe to the brown-skinned wild boar tribe. The land of the brown-skinned wild boar is better than this, and it is closer to the Triangle Plain."

Graeme thought for a while, the relocation would be beneficial to both parties, and nodded: "Okay."

Jose was about to confess something, when he suddenly received a communication request from Luna Bloodfeather, a member of the Harpy.

"Master, when we arrived, the Hydra Centaur tribe was in chaos. We caught a prisoner and asked about it. Their chief abandoned them and ran away with his cronies. Now the Hydra Centaur tribe has collapsed. , a large group of centaurs fled."

"Is it broken..." Jose frowned.

Those collapsed centaurs may join other centaur tribes, or build new tribes by themselves, or become prairie bandits, causing some trouble.

"Hey! Orcs! You have a mission!"

Jose faced Graeme and said in a loud voice: "Chasing and killing the remnants of the Hydra Centaur! Two gold coins for an ordinary centaur's head! Ten gold coins for a low-level centaur, fifty for a middle-level centaur, and two hundred for a high-level centaur. A master-level chief, three thousand gold coins per person!"

"Also, if I meet Berthasa's dead fat pig, I'll slaughter her head, and her head is worth three thousand gold coins, um... five thousand, it's better to show some respect to the caster."

"clear!"

Jose glanced at the orcs and saw that many orcs were still holding long sticks as weapons. He turned his head to the family army: "Bring some weapons and equip them here."

The army of dependents placed long knives, big swords, shoulder armor, wrist guards, etc. in front of the orcs according to the order. The accumulation was as high as a person, and they were piled up in several piles.

The sharp blades gleamed in the sun, and the orc warriors gulped down their mouths.

The Stone Hammer tribe is considered the poorest group among the super large tribes. Only the elite wolf cavalry can have a big knife. Orcs use cheap spears, and not everyone has spears. As for shoulders A. Wristguards, which belong to the category of luxury goods, are often only worthy of professionals.

Graham, a master fighter, is definitely an expert in identifying weapons and equipment. He saw that the equipment was better than the ones he bought from human merchants, so he hesitated and said, "We have no money."

"No money, these are my meeting gifts for the stone hammer."

"real?"

Jose frowned: "Do I need to lie to you!"

Graeme called the clansmen to get the equipment, and all the orcs rushed up, and the scene was chaotic.

Jose looked at the orcs vying for weapons and equipment, with a smile on his lips.

take it! take it! It's doing things for me anyway!

While the orcs were discussing how to hunt down and kill the centaur, Jose ordered his family to disperse and go to settle accounts with those hostile large and medium-sized tribes.

The purpose of settling accounts is only six words: kill, rob, and burn!

The Stonetooth Wildboar tribe wanted to assimilate the brown-skinned wildboar, the Hydralisk centaur tribe collapsed, and Jose saw the strength of the Stonehammer orcs, so he could only use those large and medium-sized tribes to stand out.

With a large tribe, an army of dependents is enough, and the three dragons set off on their way home.

José was thinking while flying.

The significance of this settlement is extraordinary, not just as simple as having more territories and subordinates.

The three super-large tribes were captured, surrendered, and collapsed, which means that no one or any tribe around the triangle can pose a threat to the rule of the three dragons, and the three dragons have completely gained a firm foothold on the prairie.

The war is over!

Next, Jose can grow up peacefully dormant in the guard of hundreds of thousands of monsters, and slowly unfold the blueprint of planning.

Thanks for the reward of 200 coins from the Garden of Light, 500 coins from Bradley, 100 coins from Su Nian Q, and 143 coins from Dragon Sword Master.
