Chapter 138 The Orc's Plan (1)
Saen Village.
Su Yang was basking in the sun comfortably, and Linus's shout suddenly came from the house.
"Hey, Xiao Yangzi, come here."
"Here you come."
Su Yang agreed, got up and walked into the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Linus reading carefully with a letter.
"What's the matter? Uncle."
Linas didn't answer, just kept looking at the contents of the letter. Su Yang saw this and knew that the contents of the letter should be very important, otherwise Linas would not have looked solemn.
"Oh..." Linus sighed and looked at Su Yang and said, "Xiao Yangzi, didn't you say that you came back this time to agree to the request of Simon, the new elder of the Magic Guild, to join the Gran Forest Vision Investigation Team this time."
"Yes, what's wrong? What happened?" Su Yang looked at Linus curiously.
"What's wrong? Haha, I guess the departure time of this investigation team will be postponed."
“Why?”
"You know that the Beast Tribe on the Orc Prairie suddenly launched an attack on the Flaming Empire." Linnas asked.
Su Yang nodded, "I know, when I came back, I met orcs and slaughtered the city, but I didn't catch up with the rescue. Several of my friends I met there went to Losar City to support me. I also planned to go to Losar City to join them after dealing with the matter of Gran Forest. But what does this matter have to do with the investigation team?"
"It's a big deal. Simon, the head of your investigation team, was committed to death. When he came back from the Flame Empire, he changed his route without authorization and passed by the battle zone between the Flame Empire army and the Beast Tribe, and was killed on the spot by a team of mysterious strong men from the Beast Tribe. The leaders were all dead, how can you members of the investigation team investigate? If the Magic Guild insists on conducting this investigation, even if you come from the Imperial Capital and the New Sect, it will take a week to do so, so I say that your investigation will be postponed." Linnas said slowly.
"Simon is dead? Is the news reliable?" Su Yang said in surprise: "Simon is at least the peak of the magician's strength. He was killed by the people of the Beast Tribe so easily? Is the Beast Tribe so strong? And the Magic Guild does not plan to take any revenge measures? After all, it was the elder of his own family who was killed."
"Xiao Yangzi, don't underestimate the Beast Tribe. Although they are not as powerful as the Beast Alliance that dominated the entire Arad Continent, at least they have continued to have power for hundreds of years. No one knows how many powerful people have been born in the Beast Tribe over the past few hundred years. As for whether the Magic Guild will take revenge, it depends on whether the Magic Guild has just had the temper with the Beast Tribe." Linnas said.
"Okay, I thought there was something big about it. Isn't it just that the departure time has been postponed? It doesn't matter. I can take a few more days off. Anyway, Old Man Zhou has approved me a long vacation." Su Yang curled his lips and said indifferently.
After saying that, Su Yang turned around and walked out. Linus looked at Su Yang's back and said thoughtfully, "I hope the vision of the Gran Forest has nothing to do with the sudden attack of the Beast Tribe, otherwise the continent would be really messy."
......
Mysterious city.
Since ancient times, it has been the most stable city on the border of the Flame Empire. It is not that there are many strong people in the Dark City, but that the unique environment of the Dark City has discouraged many invaders who have bad intentions towards the Flame Empire.
The maze is located in the center of the hottest land of the Flame Empire, the hottest land of the Flame Empire. The key to its hottest place is that the entire Flame Hill is covered with extinct volcanoes of all sizes. Although these volcanoes have not erupted for hundreds or even thousands of years, the magma inside them is still flowing slowly. And because the surface of the Flame Hill is very shallow, the temperature of the entire Flame Hill is more than seven or eight degrees higher than the average temperature of the Flame Empire. The abundance of the fire elements is also the first of the Flame Empire.
It would be fine if the temperature was just high. What made those who invaded the Flame Empire most desperate was that the extinct volcanoes around the Mysterious City emitted a pale yellow smoke that made people hallucinate all year round. The reason why Mysterious City was named Mysterious City was precisely because of the existence of this smoke.
However, everything has its pros and cons. Affected by this smoke, the environment of the mystical city is not conducive to the lives of ordinary people, so the Flame Empire simply transformed it into a military city, and a 100,000-man army stationed in the city as a guard for many years.
Just three days ago, the 300,000 Beast Clan army that had originally besieged Luosa City disappeared overnight, but before the people of the Flame Empire could breathe a sigh of relief, the 300,000 Beast Clan army appeared quietly around the Mysterious City, surrounding the Mysterious City was incomplete.
In the mystical city, the Cangyan Legion's garrison.
Yan Zhengtian is 42 years old this year. The cousin of Yan Kuang, the contemporary patriarch of the Yan family of the Chiyan Empire, is as strong as the primary level of the Sword Sect. Three years ago, he was ordered to lead the Cangyan Legion under his command to guard the Micheng. It is precisely because of the special environment of the Micheng that he broke through from the intermediate level of the Great Sword Master to the current Sword Sect in just three years.
On the third morning of the maze being surrounded, Yan Zhengtian summoned his generals early in the morning to discuss ways to deal with the beast tribe.
"Legislative Commander, I don't think we can defend ourselves. Let's ask for help from the Tianhuo Capital as soon as possible." A general who looked like a commander said loudly.
Yan Zhengtian glanced at the general, but instead asked, "How much food is left in the city? Are there enough arrows?"
Another ten thousand men standing on his left hand bowed and replied: "There is enough arrows, which means that the amount of food and grass is only enough for the army to use for a month. Because the city of Losa was surrounded before, the imperial capital ordered us to transport most of the food to Losa City for support, but I didn't expect that this beast tribe was so cunning that it actually shot and suddenly appeared around our maze."
"In other words, food is our biggest problem now." Yan Zheng Tiandao.
"Yes, Legion Commander, this is why my subordinates suggested asking you for help. When it comes to killing enemies, everyone is not afraid of death, but they are afraid that there is insufficient food and grass. It feels so uncomfortable to be hungry."
"Yes, commander of the army, we also think General Zhang is right, please ask for help."
For a moment, the generals in the tent said one after another.
Yan Zhengtian frowned, sighed for a long time, and said, "Oh, you still need to tell me to ask for help? As soon as the maze was surrounded, I sent three groups of messengers to the imperial capital to send messages to the imperial capital for help. It may not be successful. It is hard to say this. I just hope that the gods will bless you. One or two of these three bands of messengers can rush out if you are lucky."
"By the way, what's the movement of the beast army in the besieged city?"
"There is no movement. According to the city observation post report, the Beast Army has not launched an attack on us in the past three days except for building camps." said the general named Zhang.
"Is that so? It seems that the beast tribe has planned this time. I guess they may have learned from some way that the amount of food in our city is not very sufficient, so they made up their minds to waste our lives." Yan Zhengtian analyzed.
"Then aren't they afraid that we will mobilize the army to make them a dumpling?"
Yan Zhengtian heard this and smiled bitterly: "The combat effectiveness of an orc warrior is equivalent to that of four to five of our soldiers, a total of 300,000 orc army. If we want to make dumplings, we have to use millions of troops. But now most of the troops on the border of the empire are clustered in Luosa City. Whether the imperial capital knows the situation here is still a matter of two. So with this time difference, the orcs have enough time to spend with us."
When the generals in the tent heard Yan Zhengtian's analysis, they thought that Yan Zhengtian's analysis was indeed reasonable, and then they stopped talking, and the tent fell silent for a moment.
"Report!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, a report suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Come in."
As Yan Zhengtian finished speaking, a soldier who looked like a commander walked in from outside the tent. After saluting Yan Zhengtian and the other generals respectfully, he spoke: "Report to the commander of the army, the orc army outside the city has taken action."
"Oh? What action?"
"Early this morning, the orcs who built the camp suddenly stopped their work and drove out many civilians from the camp to dig holes in Yanhuo Hills."
"Dig a pit? Do they want to bury the innocent civilians alive!" a general said in amazement.
"They dare!" Yan Zhengtian was furious and waved his hand, "Go, follow me to check the city. I want to see what these uncivilized things are doing."
"yes!"
......
Inside the Beast Clan Camp.
Teams of orc soldiers were constantly using their weapons to drive away the people who were looting from various border cities of the Flame Empire.
"Hey, do you know why the High Priests asked us to capture these guys who were powerless alive. These guys stayed in the camp without wasting our few food, but they had no use at all." An infantryman from the beast tribe asked in a daze.
"Hey, I don't know either. I only know that listening to the high priest is correct." Another beast infantry replied.
In fact, it goes without saying that these infantrymen at the bottom, even the chiefs of the Beast Clan don’t know why the high priest issued such an order.
In the big tent.
The chiefs and generals of more than ten beast tribes surrounded an old orc in the middle of the tent and said angrily: "High Priest, why should we send those weak humans to dig a pit? Is the high priest planning to bury them alive to sacrifice to the beast god?"
The old orc shook his head and said nothing.
When the chiefs saw that the old orcs were still unwilling to say anything, one of them shouted: "High Priest, tell us, so that we can explain to the tribes under our opponents, right? After all, this war is too hasty. Many small tribes have not prepared enough food, and now they have to spend a lot of food to raise these weak humans. If you don't explain the reason clearly, I'm afraid that I can't suppress the emotions of the men under my hands."
"presumptuous!"
A strong orc standing behind the old orc shouted: "How can you be so rude to the high priest? If you can't control the person in your hands and scold you as the chief, don't be a good person! The high priest will naturally make sense for him to do this."
"The Chief..."
When the other little chiefs saw the big chiefs getting angry, they were all silent.
At this time, the old orc sitting on the ground coughed, slowly stood up and said, "Since you all want to know the reason, I will tell you."
