Dust of History Chapter 30: Stand. No.
The town hall in Bracada has now been converted into General Sanders' command post. Now the general is in a daze in one of the huts.
The room was filled with the stench of blood and decay, and hundreds of flies were scurrying left and right in the small space. In the middle of the room stood three **** corpses. The blood on the corpse had already turned black, the exposed muscles had shrunk, and were dryly twisted together with the black blood stains. In some places, the internal organs could be seen. The internal organs dried in the plateau air looked like leather. Bones protrude piecemeal from the body surface. Only the head of one corpse was intact, and the dying expression could be seen clearly, but the body was out of shape, and flies were drilling into his widened nostrils, which were blocked by black blood stains. The other half of the face has been crushed, and the eyeballs are still dragging around the eye sockets, as dry as dehydrated grapes. There is still no damage to the body, but only the lower half of the head, or the lower half of the mouth, is left. parts are neatly cut off.
So far, although the information about the situation of Oufu City has been obtained from various sources, there is still no detailed information about the orc army. How were they formed and what kind of troops? What kind of weapons are used? How is the combat effectiveness? None of this is clear. And that **** giant monster seemed to have disappeared in the wilderness, so it must have been wiped out by those orcs. The General never believed that.
Ten days ago, the general found traces of a small band of orcs haunting the wasteland. So he immediately ordered a group of one hundred elite soldiers to capture a few prisoners and come back to torture them severely. The three corpses came back.
When these inexplicable corpses were making the general very angry and upset, news came this morning that the huge responsibility for the loss of hundreds of magicians had been transferred to Nags Priest without proof. , The imperial court is already discussing candidates for a coaching change.
The general was so furious that he almost wanted to raise his troops and return to the capital to kill all the politicians of the Erni family. But these are undoubtedly not acceptable. He is a courtier and cannot disobey the king's order, not to mention that the existence of the Holy Knights is to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
At this moment, a soldier came in and reported tremblingly that the new priest sent by the Magic Academy had arrived.
I have not received any notification from the military, and there is no doubt that this is another subordinate sent by those politicians.
"Drag that **** to me and chop it up. No..." the general roared in anger, but immediately remembered that he was not one of his subordinates. According to the rules, he had to go out of the camp Go to meet him in person, but according to the current mood, this kind of etiquette is naturally impossible to implement, he roared: "Tell him to come here to see me."
The general met the new priest in the hall of the city hall.
"Are you the new priest?" The general wanted to frighten the young man in front of him to death with his lion-like voice and eyes. "Why didn't I see you bring your followers."
"Because there seems to be no rule that you must bring followers." The new priest did not respond to the general's majesty at all, and took things out of his arms calmly. "Here is the appointment document of the Magic Academy, as well as certificates and tokens."
The general's sharp eyes scanned the young man carefully. Contrary to what he had expected, this young man's dusty face lacked the solemnity of a clergyman, and his demeanor did not have the discipline and vigor of a soldier, but his calm expression and certain aura lurking under the priest's attire did. It made the general feel a little strange.
But it had already been planned, the general still decided to give him a blow.
"My lord priest has been studying at the Magic Academy for so many years, so he must have profound knowledge and insight." The general asked.
"No, no...."
Another embroidered pillow of a **** who spends his days and drinks. Seeing the bewildered expression of the priest, the corners of the general's eyes twitched, and he even felt that his canine teeth were much sharper than usual, as if he could kill this trash with one bite.
The general snorted coldly and waved his hand and said, "Please come with me, I want to ask you some questions." The general led the priest to the room where the corpses were placed, and pointed to the corpses. "These are soldiers killed by those orcs, but so far we haven't seen how the orc soldiers fight and how effective they are. I would like to ask the priest to use your extensive knowledge to give us some advice from these corpses." Find some clues."
Whoever sees a dead body on the battlefield for the first time will absolutely freak out. This kind of waste who has been pampered must be completely suppressed first, and let him know that war is not the information recorded in books, it is not a game of politicians, and it is not a casino where young people dream of gaining glory and future. That way he wouldn't dare to mess around like that **** before.
The face of the priest changed. Looking at the three corpses in a daze, he frowned forcefully.
The general smiled smugly, waiting to see the new priest throw up or slump incontinence.
But the priest sighed, and began to step forward to examine it carefully, and even turned the corpse with his hands.
"The ribs of this corpse are completely squeezed in, and there are serious dents on the corpse. It was killed by a huge claw... It seems to be a wyvern... Did you send the soldiers into the Lizard Swamp?" the new priest asked indifferently.
The general was dumbfounded. That corpse was the one he had never been able to tell what weapon had killed him.
"No." Unknowingly, the general's momentum has been reduced by more than half. "This is the troop sent out ten days ago. According to reports from scouts, there is a small orc reconnaissance troop in the wasteland, so I sent troops to catch them... This place is still far away from the Lizard Swamp, and there will never be any There are two-legged wyverns."
"It's the wyverns domesticated by those orcs themselves." The priest said.
"Impossible, no one has ever domesticated such a monster, let alone an orc." The general thought the kid was talking nonsense.
"Lizardmen can steal eggs from the swamp, just like we domesticate hounds from a young age. Since they have the ability to build a city, they naturally have the ability to do such things." The tone of the priest must be very strong, as if It was as he had seen it with his own eyes.
Sounds like it makes sense too. The general had nothing to say, but listened.
The new priest continued to look at the corpse, as casually as a butcher looks at pork, and continued to infer that the general was dumbfounded: "This was killed by a werewolf. Judging from the wounds on the corpse, they were all killed by a large body." The heavy weapons that hit you to death should be meteor hammers or maces. You see, there are traces of spikes dragging here. Since it is only a reconnaissance force of orcs, there should be no ogres in it. Such a big and cumbersome guy, then the one who can use this weapon must be a werewolf. There are no other injuries on this body, but the head was cut off in half cleanly. It should be a lizard man. They have such agility and strength .”
Listen, General, all arrogance has been completely replaced by shock. Even he himself can only see the damage caused by the weapon, and he doesn't know the rest at all.
"Since they have such a convenient reconnaissance tool as the wyvern, they can easily observe the situation from the sky. There is no need to send any reconnaissance troops. This small group of orcs should just come to test our army's attitude. But our army took the initiative to attack them, and they naturally didn't want to be caught by us, so they had to fight back. The fighting power of fully equipped orcs is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can compete with." The priest moved his eyes from the corpse to the general, and said lightly explain. "You shouldn't have sent troops rashly."
The general was stunned for a while before he realized it. He nodded and said in a discouraged voice: "Okay, sir, please deal with your own affairs first, and I will deal with military affairs myself." The discouragement and uselessness were replaced by some respect, and he nodded again. "Thank you for your advice."
Asa walked out of the city hall, heaving a long sigh, trying to blow out the stench of corpses that had melted into his body.
The once vibrant streets of Bracada are still full of people, but they are already full of soldiers with knives and guns. Those very creative hotels are already full of weapons and food. The whole city is filled with the meaning of Xiao Sha.
According to Bishop Ronnies, the lives of the people on the street may be in his own hands, as long as he thinks about this, he feels tired.
The setting sun dyed the clouds red, and the smell of corpses seemed to linger in the nose. This **** sunset looked particularly ominous.
An owl perched on a nearby tree and looked at him blankly.
"Why is he here?" Vidnina looked at the image in the crystal ball in surprise.
"That's the priest boy that Ronis sent there. I wonder where he found someone out of nowhere, so it's the one you mentioned." A necromancer said looking at the crystal ball.
Videnina and four necromancers are sitting together around a large and elegant round table. Although less than half of the seats are occupied, this is already a rare big scene in the Necromancer Guild up. Usually, the members of the guild are doing their own things everywhere ~IndoMTL.com~ They also have their own identities and their own lifestyles in various places, and only in occasional meetings and activities will some people gather.
"Is this the kid who fell into the Sunwell?" "The elves are looking for him everywhere. It seems that he even stole the leaf of the world tree and escaped. This is very interesting." The other three undead The mage was discussing.
The necromancer who knew Asa said to Vidnina: "I heard that you used the leaves of the world tree to create a real dragon of darkness, but in the end it was destroyed by others, even the leaves of the world tree It was also snatched away. Really? You are really willing. Take it back and study it carefully, maybe it can be used to make a few treasures."
"What I do is my freedom." Vidnina said coldly.
"Women really like extravagant animals." The necromancer looked at Vidnina and smiled without losing his sense of humor. "Even if it is no longer an animal, it is still so wasteful. Hehe, I'm sorry, it's just a joke. Although the old man Ronis wants to quell this war, we don't want him to be like this. After all, there has been no decent war for a long time. Blood and corpses The smell is almost gone from the air of the mainland. We are all waiting to see the excitement. But we can no longer be as extravagant as this lady, let's use some economical and efficient methods." He turned to another necromancer. "Hey, lend me the gargoyles you just studied."
