***************************
"You idiots, just lost your home like this? What are those damn humans to be afraid of? You cowards, I'm going to throw you all into the kitchen and put you on the table!"
The torches illuminated the dark and damp hall. A group of orc leaders were sitting on both sides of a long table. In another open space not far from them, there were many orcs kneeling, all with low eyebrows and submissive looks.
, dare not speak out.
At the head of the long wooden table sat a python man with a ferocious face. He was tall, nearly three meters tall, and his body was so thick that it almost burst the chair under his butt.
At this time, he was slapping the table and getting angry. All the orc leaders below were silent.
This snake man's identity is quite special, compared to the orcs here. Even though some people's tribes are large tribes with more than tens of thousands of people, they dare not speak out to contradict this young python man.
Because this python man is Qu Kaichen, the owner of Qu Kaichen, the leader of the snake tribe in the Orc Alliance, and the youngest son of King Qu Yan.
Because he was not the eldest son, Qu Kaichen's fiefdom was arranged in the remote area of Hulu Canyon. But as King Qu Yan's favorite youngest son, his fiefdom was of course the best area in the entire Hulu Canyon.
In this Hulu Canyon, the Huluzui City captured by Xiao Feng and the others is the entrance and exit to the south, while Qukaichen's Qukai City is located at the north entrance and exit of the Hulu Canyon. It is located on a traffic artery, on the south side of the castle.
It is the endless plain of the Calabash Basin. The land is fertile and the output is rich. It is the best castle in the Calabash Canyon.
And this Qu Kaichen is also the one with the highest identity and status among the half-orcs in Calabash Canyon, mainly due to his bloodline.
By this time, Xiao Feng had led the Riverrun army and had entered the Calabash Gorge for about two weeks. The basin to the south of the Calabash Gorge was already full of war, and more than a dozen orc castles and territories had been captured one after another.
.
The orcs there had also united together and organized a counterattack, but after all, the main force of their tribe had all been transferred to fight in the south of the Toulon Empire, and those who stayed at home were not elites.
In addition, these orcs are also cheating and shady among themselves. They are not convinced by each other and have poor command. How can such a loose coalition be Xiao Feng's opponent?
Just seven days after Xiao Feng captured Greenstone Castle, they had an encounter in the Huluyao Canyon in the Hulu Gorge.
Needless to say, the result was that the loose coalition organized by the orcs and the human army led by Xiao Feng were beaten to pieces and suffered countless injuries. The entire Hulu Canyon, from the Huluyao Canyon, was divided into two sections, and the south side was completely reduced to a torrent.
A paradise where armies ravage the city.
The orcs to the north of Huluyao Canyon were also in panic. During this period, orcs who had escaped from the south of Huluyao Canyon poured into the Hulu Canyon to the north of Huluyao Canyon, and the whole basin was in chaos.
The atmosphere was also extremely tense. After learning from the relatives who had escaped from the south, how powerful the army led by Death in Riverrun was, the various orc lords in the North Calabash Canyon could no longer sit still.
Everyone felt that they could no longer sit at home and wait for death, and wanted to unite. However, considering the previous failed experience of the relatives in the south of Huluyao Canyon, they could only come to Qukai City and contact Qu Kaichen.
I hope this python prince can take the lead. After all, among these people here, only his prestige can convince everyone.
Only then did Qu Kaichen hear that the entire southern half of Calabash Gorge had fallen. When he learned the news, he was furious!
When did these human beings become so bold? In the past, these street rats could only hide in their holes and be beaten. Now they are so bold that they dare to organize people to counterattack. Is this okay?
But before sending out troops, he still had to give the lords who had fled from the south a good beating. These guys were really stupid. They couldn't even defeat those humans with scummy fighting abilities. Did they live a good life for too long? They didn't even know how to hold a knife.
forget?
"Sir, the fact is not that we don't resist, nor that the Erlangs are not brave enough, but that group of humans is too difficult to deal with. This time the people who came are not ordinary human troops, they came from Riverrun, and the team was led by
That Death God of Riverrun. I took in a thousand men and fought my way out of the city gate, but I couldn't even rush to their battle formation, so I was defeated halfway..."
A pig-headed man who was kneeling in the middle of the hall couldn't help it anymore. This man was Crutchie.
Qu Kaichen, who was still cursing at first, immediately fell silent after hearing what Crutchie said. The God of Death in Riverrun?
This can now stop the bad reputation of children crying at night in the Orc Alliance!
This time he brought the people from Riverrun here? No wonder!
Qu Kaichen had also returned to his hometown before, and he had just returned not long ago, so he didn't know much about the situation in Calabash Canyon. Now when he heard Kruci say this, he felt relieved.
No wonder these tribes couldn't stand it. They were originally from Riverrun. In fact, the orcs now regard the human army from Riverrun as an elite force on equal footing with them.
It is not surprising that he was defeated at the hands of this human army!
"So, you have faced off against the Death God of Riverrun?"
"Yes, sir, that day I personally led a thousand elite men out of the city to charge into battle. Before that, I didn't know that the group of people we faced were from Riverrun City. As soon as we left the city gate, the humans on the opposite side actually took the lead in charging at us.
The big head in front of the human was a strange iron box, and before it could even rush in front of us, the God of Death from Riverrun in the iron box summoned a thunder and lightning attack, which threw my phalanx into chaos, and streaks of lightning flashed across it.
The battlefield swept across the battlefield, and the Erlangs who rushed in front were swept to the ground before they even had time to shout. Then, thunder continued to fall from the sky, blowing our phalanx to pieces...
"
Cruci was actually just hiding on the city wall and watching his nephew's charge, but at this time he couldn't tell Qu Kaichen in front of him that he was the one who sent his nephew to die.
In order to emphasize his own bravery, he instead boasted that he was the hero who led his team out of the city. Sure enough, after what he said, all the tribal leaders present felt sad.
There are many people here who have participated in the previous two battles to siege Riverrun. They have all seen the Death God's ability in Riverrun. Just listening to Crutchie's description, everyone infers that he is not lying.
"...Our battle formation was already in chaos. At this time, those human heavy armored cavalry rushed up. They were holding small meteor hammers in their hands, wearing iron armor, and even
The horses were all covered with armor. I had never seen such cavalry before. The swords and spears of the Erlangs could not hurt the cavalry and the horses at all. The iron lumps in their hands could be hit with certainty.
, as long as we are hit, it is basically difficult to survive. And their spearmen are also very powerful. In the past, the quality of their human spears was very poor and could not hurt us at all, but now they have holes in them.
...Even my little nephew was killed in this battle..."
Crutchie told half-truths, but the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more solemn. Many orcs who had fought against humans in Riverrun felt that Crutchie was not telling lies.
And for the tribe that was defeated by Xiao Feng and lost its family territory just like Krutch, they couldn't say that Krutch was lying at this time, because this would only demean themselves.
On the contrary, they kept echoing Krutch's statement, so as to show that it was not that they were incompetent, but that the human army was too powerful!
"Yes, sir, I have never seen such a powerful human cavalry."
"Yes, sir, those human cavalry are covered with iron. Brothers, they have really tried their best."
"Moreover, they used new weapons, which greatly increased their lethality against us. Our original defensive advantages can no longer play their due role..."
The more Qu Kaichen listened, the more gloomy his face became. The Death God of Riverrun was already a headache for him, but now he has brought out a strong army. How can he deal with this?
But as the highest-ranking orc in the Calabash Canyon, he couldn't stay alone. The tauren, pig-headed men, kobolds, werewolves, and centaurs who were doing this all came to his door.
If he pretends to be stupid, if word spreads, the python man will lose all his face, but if he takes these people to face off against the Riverrun army, he feels that he doesn't have much confidence.
His uncle Kui Yan had told him many times before that not to provoke those people in Riverrun, and that if he encountered them it was best to find a way to stay away, but now he had been picked up.
If you just don't resist and lead these orc tribes to retreat, then you will definitely lose your head when you return to the Alliance. What should you do?
At this moment, the fox consultant next to him rolled his eyes, and then whispered in his ear. The more Qu Kaichen listened, the brighter his eyes became. Hey, this is a good idea.
Eh!
"Okay, everyone, please gather your troops immediately and we'll set off right now. Those guys from Riverrun City have already captured the southern half of the Calabash Gorge, and they will probably come out of the Calabash Gorge soon.
If the North continues to invade, then we will prepare a big scene for them near the Heartbreak Canyon. The Heartbreak Canyon is the only way to enter the northern half of the Calabash Canyon, and the terrain is dangerous, which is perfect for us to ambush."
Chapter completed!
