Chapter 99: The Orc (Part 2)

"How did this be done?"

Looking at the magical scene in front of him, Murphy raised his head and stared at the gray-robed wizard Gandalf in front of him, and asked involuntarily.

This scene is too far beyond Murphy's estimate.

The shock he brought was far greater than when the high priest used his magic to heal him.

Grey-robed wizard Gandalf gasped for a moment, as if the previous casting had consumed a lot of his energy. After his spirit recovered a little, he spoke: "Among the scholars who first went to the ancient elves to learn magic, a group of scholars were curious about how ancient elves approached nature to control wild beasts. They learned some druid magic from a large druid. This school is called transformation."

"Humans cannot transform into some powerful beast like the elves druid, but they learned a power called [Wild Soul] from the big druid."

"My mentor is a spellcaster who masters the [Wild Soul]. He knows how to communicate with the eagle and uses the eagle's eyes to observe the world."

Grey-robed wizard Gandalf picked up the dark green gem from the ground and put it in his robe, and slowly said: "This gem is called Eye of Aishala, which is something scholars find from ancient ruins. It can store some images, but it must consume a lot of magic to drive it."

Ancient ruins?

Murphy's heart moved and nodded immediately as if he had some clarity.

"The werewolf on the southern line has been defeated by Grand Duke Rottenchild, but the werewolf on the northern line is still in a stalemate." The magician Merlin looked solemn. He took out a map from his arms and pointed at a point above, and said in a deep voice: "The army of the orcs will cross the Nidoria River from here to reach the front of the southern plains. If they will unite with the werewolf, then things will be serious."

This time, the human city-state gathered nearly 200,000 troops.

It can be said that humans in the entire southern plain were mobilized to counterattack with troops twice the total population of the gnolls!

As long as Murphy guards this important road, the gnolls on the front line can be said to be unable to escape. As long as these gnolls, mainly adult males, are solved, the remaining problems will be much easier. Moreover, for a long time in the future, gnolls will not pose a threat to the human city-state! However, all this has become confusing under the mobilization of the orc army.

If the Orc tribe is involved in this battle for the southern plains, everything in the future will be hard to say.

Orcs and werewolves are different. They inherited the civilization of the orcs, possessed their own military organization, and knew how to forge weapons and cultivate crops.

They are truly intelligent species, although culturally far from reaching the level of human beings.

However, in the forging of the army and weapons, it is better than humans.

Murphy looked at the map in front of him carefully, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What does the noble council mean?"

He pointed with his finger at the territory in front of the canyon that is now guarding. It was the land that was originally occupied by the gnolls, connecting the original territory of the hybrid elves and extending to the Salasi Basin, covering an area of ​​more than one and a half provinces in his previous life! It was originally a land that humans actively developed. However, because of the gnolls' offensive, they had to give up.

"They plan to give up these territories and set up defense lines here?" Murphy pointed at his feet and said in a voice.

If that's true.

Then the territory promised by the nobility of the human city-state before was at least half reduced!

Moreover, not only that, even Mrs. Elizabeth's land of more than 3,600 square kilometers would have to be given up, which means that Murphy finally obtained only land that extends from this canyon to less than 1,200 square kilometers within the city of Athens. Most importantly, if all these territories were included by Murphy, he would become the first line of defense to withstand the attack of the orc army!

Murphy suddenly felt like he was being plotted against by human city-states!

He couldn't help feeling a little angry in his heart!

Obviously, these magicians had long noticed the movements of the Orcs. However, when they proposed the plan to let Murphy hold this canyon, they did not tell him the information that the Orcs would join the battle. They waited until he sent the army to the strings that they said everything.

No wonder they agreed to their request so readily!

The nobles of the human city-state not only included themselves in the scope of calculation, but even Mrs. Elizabeth was also plotted against them.

The magician Merlin also noticed that Murphy's face was getting colder. He opened his mouth to explain something, but he couldn't say it in the end. Their arrival was actually arranged by the noble parliament. On the one hand, it was to help Murphy, and on the other hand, it was also to monitor Murphy?

No general was sent, and the army close to 5,000 men were handed over to Commander Murphy.

How is this possible?

The atmosphere is getting colder.

Murphy always thought that because of the harsh living environment of human beings in this world, the entire race should be united.

But now it seems that his ideas are still a bit naive.

I'm afraid that the Grand Duke Luo Tongzild helped his materials at the beginning, in order to restrain the zombies and attract their attention?

But I'm afraid even they didn't expect that the city of Athens would develop at such an astonishing speed.

It is precisely because of the growing city of Athens that the noble parliament proposed to let itself guard this canyon and bear the attack of the zombies? On the one hand, it consumes the strength of the city of Athens, and on the other hand, it can also reduce its own losses.

The price paid is only those nominally unowned territory.

If Murphy successfully defended it, he could become a line of defense under the attack of the Orcs. In fact, after looking at the map taken out by the magician Merlin, Murphy immediately discovered that the territory promised by the noble council was almost connected to the territory of Mrs. Elizabeth. In other words, if you give up the recovery of the land occupied by the gnolls a year ago and turn to defend the inside. Then the orcs army would attack the inner plains, and the territory promised by Murphy would be the first battlefield!

The only thing that is thankful is that humans in this world are not stupid enough to betray their own tribe.

At least they also know that if they want to gain, they must pay.

They did send a group of elite troops and promised to give Murphy land and provide a large amount of supplies.

This is also the reason why Murphy just had a cold expression and did not turn against him on the spot.

He can only swallow this bitter fruit by himself!

Murphy looked at the people in front of him with a cold expression and said in a deep voice: "I promise to stay here for two days!"

"The promise of the Athenians is full of words!" Murphy picked up his pen and drew a circle on the map, and said in a deep voice: "The land here belongs to me, although it is still in the hands of the werewolves! But one day I will take it back with my own hands."

"In two days, if Grand Duke Rottenchild's army has not arrived yet, I will withdraw from the canyon!" Murphy looked at the magician in front of him and said coldly.

He now understands it.

The so-called counterattack is simply a scam!

The noble council, which had been monitoring the movements of the orcs, had never thought of regaining the land south of the Zangala Mountains, so they generously promised to hand over the land close to 2,500 square kilometers to Murphy. In fact, I'm afraid the original plan of the noble council was to reclaim the plain area north of the canyon and then use this canyon as a defense line to resist the attack of the orc army!

To put it simply.

The noble council first used supplies to get his favor and sent troops, and then promised Murphy the land outside the canyon that was not intended to be reclaimed as a reward. If the orc army did not move, then this cooperation would be a win-win situation. But if the orc army also launched an offensive, the ending would be that Murphy had only a small piece of cake left.

However, the purpose of human city-states to recover the plains and regain the key points of the canyon has been achieved.

At this time, Murphy could not give up on the canyon and withdraw his troops.

Because if the canyon is abandoned, his territory will be completely isolated. Facing the orcs and werewolves, in the months when his territory was rising, the werewolves did not notice that a town would be built in just a few months. But now it is different. If the orc army attacked the southern plains, Murphy's territory would probably be the first to be affected!

In other words, whether Murphy wants to or not, he must stick to the human army.

It feels very uncomfortable to be used as a gun!

Murphy has always been working step by step in the war, but he never expected that he would fall into trouble like this.

"Send the guest!" Murphy said in a deep voice to the general guard attendant outside the tent with a cold face.

Since everything is clear, there is no need to watch these magicians act in front of them again.

Seeing Murphy's cold expression on his face, the magician Merlin didn't say anything else.

All of this was originally planned, and no one would be plotted and gave them a good look. They turned around and left.

However, the thin figure wearing a long and narrow gray cloak whispered to Murphy as he walked out of the tent: "At least your territory is safe."

Safety?

A sneer appeared at the corner of Murphy's mouth.

He rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and pondered.

It took a long time.

"I'm careless..." He sighed, and then said to the tent outsider: "Let generals Leodale and Marcus Kane come over."
