The camps of the criminal army stretched for dozens of miles, and there were still a steady stream of follow-up brigades coming from the rear.
On the four-wheeled wooden carts, the dwarves sat on the piles of supplies, but yelled at the orcs pushing the carts below.
They are born with short legs and short legs, so they are not good at running and traveling long distances. Moreover, the dwarves are the most precious craftsmen in the army of criminals, so they have obtained such comfortable privileges.
Most of the sinner's camp has been basically completed. The tall wooden wall is made of solid wood, and the brackets are reinforced behind it, as if these guys are not invading, but are defending.
More materials were transported from the rear. Under the command of the dwarves, the sacred mountain, which was once the frontier line of defense in the human world, has been continuously mined for three years, and almost half of the mountain has been turned into iron ore. Made the armor of the criminal army, the weapons in their hands, and the arrows of the crossbow... and so on.
In addition to possessing excellent crafting talents, dwarves also have another talent, that is, punching holes! There seemed to be no place in the world that they could not drill. Just behind the criminal camp, after groups of dwarves arrived, these guys, who couldn't tell the difference between men and women from their appearance, rushed forward, grabbed their strange tools, and began to dig under several small hillsides. stand up.
These dwarves shouted excitedly, praising the land of this continent of the human world, how soft it is, and how pleasant it is to dig.
The dwarves don't like to live in tents. They dug large caves under the hillsides one by one. This job was not done by those clumsy orcs, but all the dwarves were sent out to do it themselves.
It depends. The army of criminals seems to regard this place as a permanent station, and has no desire to attack at all...
"How long do we have to wait!"
In one of the largest tents in the army of criminals, the giant tiger orc roared angrily.
As one of the three giants of the orcs, the number of Bronze Tiger clansmen is not large, even less than the number of wolves, but this branch of it is almost all the most powerful elite orcs warrior.
Bronze Tiger walked around the tent impatiently, gnashing its teeth.
But another giant. Dominus of the wolf family has been looking out quietly, with a calm and calm expression, as if he was out of his mind.
"When will that elf come out! Do we have to wait here until the end of this autumn, and then until the end of this winter?!" The giant rock, the rhinoceros monster also spoke.
It looked at the bronze tiger. Suddenly whispered: "Or, we can attack first! Now we have come to the world of humans! In front of us are those despicable and dirty humans! We don't need the power of elves! Why do we orcs obey the orders of that elf?" !"
"Because without Luoxue, we would not have defeated the Dragon Clan so easily! There is no way to break the magic circle of the ice field! If there is no Luoxue's wisdom, we are still in our old home, everyone, you kill me, I kill you Killing here and there, killing for tens of thousands of years! Just to fight for such a little pitiful profit!" Dominez suddenly spoke, his eyes were still looking outside, and he said coldly: "We need the help of the elves, Luoxue's wisdom is even more needed."
"Dominus, I think you might as well cut off your wolf's tail, then put two long ears on yourself, and become an elf!" Rock mocked disdainfully: "I'm afraid you have long forgotten your own body The blood flowing inside is beast blood! Hmph. Do you think that you will become noble after dealing with those elves all day long and obeying that Luo Xue's advice? You stupid wolf!"
A stern look flashed in Dominez's wolf eyes. He said fiercely: "Rock, if you insult me with such words again, I will fight you!"
"Okay!" The copper tiger's head is slightly more flexible than that of the stupid cow, and the "king"-shaped black pattern on its forehead is twisted together. It glanced at Domines and said in a deliberative tone: "Are you Leader of the wolf clan, you are obliged to contribute your strength to the orcs, Dominus, don't forget, we swore an oath to the statue of the great beast god before we came."
"But I also said that I only obey Luoxue's orders." Dominez refused to budge, "Bronze Tiger, unless your wisdom is higher than Luoxue's, or your strength is stronger than Luoxue's?"
The Bronze Tiger stopped talking. Even though it was a ferocious giant of the Tiger Clan, it also understood that although it had reached the level of a holy warrior, it was far from being the match of the Elf King. As for brains and wisdom... Orcs have never talent in this area.
"I know, I'm an orc! But I know better that if we want to succeed and defeat a large number of humans, we must have a wise leader to command us! And I think only the king of elves has this ability, so I only listen to Luoxue's command." Dominez stood up and looked at the other two giants coldly: "You should have heard my words very clearly! I was willing to send wolf cavalry to survey the terrain before, that is The plan that the Elf King made a long time ago, I can let my people contribute, and I have completed my task! Then until I get the next order from the Elf King, I will not let my people Take a step forward."
After finishing speaking, the leader of the wolf clan stopped looking at the other two giants and walked out of the big tent without looking back.
The remaining Rhino and Tiger looked at each other, Rhino Rock suddenly snorted coldly: "Sometimes, I really want to kill this orc traitor."
"Even if we kill it, we won't be able to command the wolf cavalry." Bronze Tiger suddenly sighed, and its tone was a little anxious: "One thing, I agree with that Luoxue, that is, to defeat humans, we need cavalry."
"But... what the hell is that Luoxue doing! Ever since that terrifying human strongman came, it actually took the initiative to invite that human into the palace that the elves regard as a holy place...Damn it! Even if we went, they didn't even Let's get one step closer!"
"How many days... that annoying elf, and that human... I heard that they haven't come out of that palace. Huh..." Tonghu's tone was a little bit bad: "This time we set off, those stubborn elves. None of them Willing to come. They are still guarding their station under the sacred mountain! What the hell is it doing with that human in there?"
"Don't ask me, I've never been able to figure out the minds of those elves." Rock suddenly shrank his neck. There was some frustration in the voice: "But that human being is indeed powerful..."
What the hell are Luo Xue and Bai Hechou doing
Nobody knows.
Even the noble elders in the elves don't know.
Among the proud elves, Luoxue has long imprinted its mark on the whole clan. Almost all the elves pay homage to this king who is unparalleled in beauty and strength. Every word, every word of the Elf King is an imperial decree for the elves!
It can even be said that Luoxue has been with the elves for 10,000 years. The king with the most authority and prestige that has ever appeared in the clan! In the past dynasties, the elders in the clan can also limit the power of the king. But with the appearance of Luoxue, the astonishing and unparalleled king, even the elders in the clan obeyed this king unconditionally!
Ever since Luoxue brought Bai Heshou into the elf clan's temple that day, no elf dared to raise the slightest objection to such a violation of rules and traditions—this in itself is already a very miraculous thing! To know. The elves are notoriously stubborn and respectful of tradition!
Therefore, in a few months, the Elf King and the human have not stepped out of the temple! And all the elves, those elders, dare not leave! The elders built their own houses around the temple. Wait quietly.
And when the three-year period expired, the dragon's blood finally corroded the magic circle of the ice field, and the army of criminals couldn't wait to set off, the elves, because their king hadn't walked out of the temple, didn't issue a single word of order. The whole elf family refused to leave!
In the resident of the elves under the sacred mountain. All the elves are still living their old lives, and they don't even have the slightest doubt. Because everyone seems to believe in their hearts: the king must have a reason for the king to do this! And that reason must be clever and wise!
So they are willing to wait indefinitely. Wait for the day when their king walks out of the temple! No matter how long you wait!
But... Bai Hechou and Luoxue stayed in the temple for several months. What the hell are they doing? !
"His Royal Highness, what is the reason why you came all the way from the palace to find me?" Du Wei looked at Her Highness Louise with a smile.
The position of the driver of the carriage is vacant, and the princess has already sent his men away in order to have a secret conversation with Du Wei. At this moment, in the distance around the carriage, several people who looked like palace guards stood far away.
"I've encountered something, I don't know how to deal with it, this thing makes me very worried, I'm very scared." Princess Louise's tone was very depressed, with anxiety, and there was a hint of pleading in her soft voice: "Du Wei, I can't see Hussein now, and I don't know who to talk to."
Du Wei sighed, feeling quite guilty.
In order to keep the Griffin's secret, he sent Hussain to sit in a secret manor in the south of the imperial capital. Only the paladins were guards there, so that Du Wei could rest assured that his secret would not be discovered by anyone outside.
But in this way, Hussein was far away from the imperial capital, so he had no chance to meet the princess at all. For a man and a woman who are passionately in love, it must be very painful to be separated for a long time.
"What exactly happened?" Du Wei said straightforwardly: "Your Highness, I will definitely do my best to help you. After all, you are Hussein's future wife, and he can be regarded as my most trusted One of the friends."
Louise's face was full of faint fear, but she suddenly closed her mouth, as if something was imminent, but suddenly wavered again, as if she hesitated whether to say it or not.
Seeing this beautiful girl's expression, Du Wei couldn't help but haha, his eyes subconsciously scanned the princess's slender waist and abdomen, and made a look of exclamation: "God! Your Highness, you... Don't you have it?!"
"What's there?" The princess froze for a moment, her face blank.
But then she noticed Du Wei's hateful eyes, and Louise immediately understood, and her pretty face was flushed all over. He gave Du Wei a fierce look. If he hadn't been concerned about his manners and etiquette, he would have long wished to go up and strangle Du Wei, a nasty guy!
"You! What nonsense are you talking!!" Louise was ashamed and angry. But quickly put it aside: "What kind of woman do you think I am! Hussein and I have not yet..."
Speaking of this, Louise was so ashamed that she was too angry to say a word.
"Oh? Don't you guys still have it?" Du Wei smiled badly.
"Of course not!!" The princess blurted out angrily: "Hussein respects me very much! He is not the kind of man who messes around!"
Puchi.
Du Wei couldn't help laughing, and leaned on the seat cushion in the carriage hugging his stomach in a very shapeless manner, sighing secretly: God... I tried my best to match the two of you together. One would not marry unless she was a prince, and the other would not marry unless she was a king, and they lived in the same courtyard for several months. So far, it's still clear? It seems that Hussein, the stone man, needs to be taught a good lesson! Women are not for respect, women are for love! !
"Du Wei! You, you bastard!" With Du Wei's evil eyes, although Princess Louise didn't know what the other party was thinking, she also knew that there must be some unbearable content, so she couldn't help shouting in embarrassment. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was too important, she might be so angry that she would kick Du Wei off the carriage and drive away.
After a pause, the princess clenched her fist tightly and lowered her voice: "This matter, yes, is about my brother."
When it comes to the last word "brother". A trace of sadness and hesitation flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Du Wei immediately put away his smiling face and sat up straight, not daring to laugh anymore.
"It happened more than ten days ago..." The princess's eyelids were drooping, and under the long eyelashes, there was worry in her eyes: "I went to the place where my brother lived occasionally, and I wanted to talk to him. As a result. I was in his room and smelled a smell of medicine... I suspect. My brother may be sick."
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat. Faintly couldn't help but thought of the possibility that he had thought of... But he still remained calm on the surface, and said slowly: "The regent has never practiced martial arts since he was a child. He only likes magic. The middle school is relatively poor, and it’s okay to have some minor illnesses on weekdays.”
"No, it's not a minor illness." Princess Louise's voice was not loud, but her tone was very certain!
She shook her head slightly, with a trace of struggle in her expression: "When I took care of Hussein in the northwest, I took care of his wound medicine by myself in the next few months. The old magician in green robe Sir, you taught me a lot of formulas of magic potions. Although I don't know magic, I don't understand many principles. But after a few months, I have firmly grasped the formulas of some magic potions and the effects of some magic potions. I have learned by heart. Many of Hussein’s wound medicines are brewed for him by myself. Now, I don’t need to look at many medicines, but I can recognize them by smelling them.”
Du Wei smiled: "Well, that old guy also told me in private that you are actually very talented."
The princess was not at all pleased with this compliment, and still had a worried look on her face: "That day, when I was in my brother's room, I could smell the smell. Although I couldn't recognize anything else, there was a smell in it that was my It's so familiar! That taste is... ice berry!"
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat!
"I know that the effect of ice berries can relieve pain." Louise sighed sadly: "When I was in the northwest, I was most familiar with this medicine, and it was the first thing I learned. But you and that green The old magician in the robe has warned me that this kind of thing should not be taken too much. So when I first treated Hussein's injury, I only gave him a very small dose of ice berries. However, I was in my brother's room The smell he smelled was obviously very strong, that is to say, the amount of ice berries he used must be a lot."
Du Wei thought for a while, but his voice was still calm: "That doesn't mean anything. Ice berries have other effects besides pain relief."
"Do you mean to use it as a psychedelic drug for fun?" The princess glanced at Du Wei, then shook her head firmly: "I know my brother! He lives a very self-disciplined life. Since he came to power, he has never been greedy for pleasure. He never touches things like medicine!"
"Maybe it's the magician who treated him and dispensed the medicine. His skills are too mediocre. The wrong amount is used." Du Wei is still carefully looking for other possibilities.
"My brother is the regent. With his status, he can decide who to use. There is only one in the palace, and that is the chief magician of the court." Louise shook her head: "Although I don't know magic, I also know that as the chief magician , it won’t be too bad.”
Afterwards, she sighed faintly: "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just asked him if he was in poor health, and there was a smell of medicine in the room, and my brother's reaction at that time was not surprising. He just said that he was not feeling well. , a little bit of a cold... But this remark revealed a flaw. He thought I was the kind who didn't know anything about magic potions, but he didn't expect that I had learned a lot in the northwest for a few months. Although he concealed That's great, but I know. If you're catching a cold, you don't need ice berries anyway!"
"Well, it's useless." Du Wei's tone gradually became serious.
"I didn't dare to ask him more, but in the next few days, I consciously went to him. Every time I could smell his study, or his room, there was such a faint smell. Maybe others can't smell it. Come out, but I firmly remember it. In other words, he has not stopped taking ice berries for so many days!"
Du Wei suddenly interrupted Princess Louise: "But more than ten days ago, I also went to the palace and met the regent in the study. At that time, there was no..."
Du Wei meant to express, if there is that kind of taste. With my own ability, it is absolutely impossible not to smell it. But then he suddenly remembered one thing: It seems that when he went to see the regent that day. All the windows in his study were open, and the smell of burning was strongly incensed!
Then, there is only one answer: the regent knows that he is very accomplished in magic potions, so he deliberately... conceals himself? !
"In those days, I was always worried, so I couldn't help asking some of my brother's recent situation with some familiar guards near the palace where he lived. I didn't get any questions from the guards, and they didn't notice anything. But just when I was about to dispel my doubts, I accidentally learned something from a guard."
Louise's voice trembled suddenly: "The guard told me casually that my brother is not in a good mood recently. Everyone around him is very nervous, because my brother has executed three or four times for some minor reasons a few days ago. Got his valet... So, I guess..."
Having said that, Louise suddenly couldn't bear it and closed her mouth.
Du Wei sighed, and said slowly: "So, you think, it might be the regent's personal attendant who accidentally discovered something, so he was killed by your brother to silence him, right? But you don't want to accept that your brother wanted to silence him. As for killing people, so... I can understand your feelings."
Louise's eyes suddenly turned red. As if about to cry, she tremblingly said: "I know, I'm not a smart girl, but I'm in the royal family. I still know some basic things... My brother suddenly gave up the throne to little Charlie, this matter I already had some doubts, but now, knowing that my brother's body is likely... probably... all these things add up, so I can't help but doubt."
She looked at Du Wei, pleading in her tone: "Du Wei, I don't know what to do about this matter. These things have been tormenting me these days.
I don't know who to talk to. Moreover, if this matter is true. Then this secret can't be leaked casually! I... I... I think about it. Since there is no way to find Hussein, I can only come to you first. "
Du Wei nodded. Suddenly said: "Your Highness, you... trust me so much? I mean, if this matter is true, then this secret must not be revealed! Especially at this time!"
"I trust you!" Louise said slowly: "Hussein said that you are the person he trusts the most. He trusts you. Then, I am his woman, and I trust you too!"
Before getting out of the carriage, Du Wei warned Louise not to say anything or do anything about this matter, and not to take any action until the matter was clarified.
And Princess Louise, after telling this matter to Du Wei, seemed to have unloaded a big burden. The burden that had tortured her for many days was transferred to Du Wei, and the girl was much more relaxed.
After sending Miss Ossie into the carriage and leaving with Princess Louise, Du Wei turned around and the smile on his face disappeared bit by bit.
His expression became extremely gloomy!
"I heard from the humans we captured that it is now August in the human calendar...and this is the warmest month of the year." Bronze Tiger looked at the rhino: "So, if we continue to wait, the weather will It's getting colder and the food is being consumed too quickly."
"What do you mean?" Rhino's eyes glowed.
"That human line of defense... They obviously withdrew all their resources to the south. As long as we can break through this line of defense first and rush to the south, we will have everything we need! Food, weapons, land! Go to that Time, we don't need to listen to the orders of those elves! Rush to the south, snatch back the land of our ancestors, and rebuild our orc kingdom!"
"Very good." The rhino stood up, and slapped the copper tiger's paw vigorously: "Don't wait, let's attack first!!"
The 20-day period set by General Rostock and his subordinates has not yet ended. Finally, the enemy under the city made a move first!
On this morning, the imperial soldiers guarding the city wall discovered the movement in the enemy camp in the distance!
When the first ray of sunlight fell in the morning, among the large wooden walls in the distance, there were a few flashes of giant wooden hanging doors crashing down!
Then, a group of sturdy bull warriors ran out of the gate of the camp. They held black and huge horns in their hands, puffed up their cheeks, and blew vigorously!
Amidst the sound of horns, there was a low-pitched roar like thunder from the army of criminals, and then, several black torrents rushed out of those hanging doors!
Black iron armor, a long knife with a cold light! Teams of orc monsters quickly lined up in the distant wilderness, and the black square formations were quickly lined up one by one!
And at this time, tall catapults were pushed out from the gate of the camp! Those catapults made of giant wood have been wrapped with layers of thick animal skins and pulleys are installed on the lower end. Under each catapult, there are dozens of people wearing the strongest and heaviest armor. the orcs!
In the cold weather in the morning, those orcs pushed the catapult out of the camp gate with all their might, breathing hot air and shouting!
At this time, in the dark orc phalanx, a huge and crude animal skin flag was raised high!
Seeing that flag, countless orcs roared and shouted into the sky. They beat their chests with all their strength, and slammed the shield with the big knife in their hands, and the sound waves soared to the sky! !
"They're attacking! They're going to attack!!"
The officer on the city wall immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!! Everyone go to the city wall!
On this side of the city wall, the top general on duty today is Mi Luo. He stepped on the city wall, looked coldly at the enemy in the distance, then drew his long sword and raised it high, using his vigorous and mighty The voice roared: "Ready to fight!! Soldiers! Fight for the empire!!"
His metal armor reflected light in the sun, and the first ray of sunlight fell on the top of the city and fell on him. Under the general's majestic order, his whole body was glowing with sunshine!
Under the city wall, groups of heavily armed imperial soldiers ran up from the parapet, lined up in strict formation, and held their weapons tightly!
"Fight for the Empire!!" General Miro roared.
"Fight for the Empire!!" On the city wall, countless humans uttered the same voice! !
A big battle is about to begin!
