Chapter 283: Three Thirds of the World—The Alliance of Ice and Snow
Autumn is coming to an end and winter will soon hit. . COM The towns and cities on the borders of the northern countries paid no attention to the great changes on the mainland. They were sitting in the same manner, continuing the custom that had been inherited for thousands of years, which was to slaughter most of the livestock, and use the furs to make warm clothes, and the meat to be made into air-dried meat that could be preserved for a long time. To get through a painful winter.
Of course, the city defense armies of the northern border countries are famous for their quality and quantity even on the mainland. Because they have to face the black orcs and barbarians who will rob and wreak havoc once winter comes. Perhaps because of the proximity to the far north, the people here are not called black orcs and barbarians in the south and middle-earth, but black wolves and blue people.
It would be understandable if the savages were called bulu. Because this is the true name of their race. But why are those evil and dirty black orcs called black wolves? Because at this moment, on the border mountains of a kingdom in the north, a large group of five hundred black orcs were waiting in full formation. Greedy and crazy eyes were looking unscrupulously at the warm and beautiful city with smoke rising from the distant hillside.
I saw that these black orcs, as mentioned before, were less than the shoulders of an adult human. Moreover, his limbs are thin and he has little strength. Black oily skin, long ears standing upside down on both sides of the head. Aquiline nose and barbed teeth. They were all dressed in furs of different styles, and one or two lucky ones were wearing shabby and simple armor. If it weren't for his greedy character and love of cannibalism, he would just look like this. It’s no wonder that many anthropologists believe that black orcs are close relatives of goblins.
It is easy to see that their weapons are also very crude. In addition to rusty axes and broken knives, some forks and shovels used by farmers. Even sticks can be seen. Of course, these crude equipment cannot be a reason for humans to despise them. Come on, these black orcs have the most primitive level of civilization among all the surviving races.
Their social classes were slaves, soldiers and chiefs. The simple and crude division of labor in society has led to their low-grade and bellicose social atmosphere. However, this kind of creature secretes a sticky substance on its body surface that covers the skin. Can effectively resist the cold. Even their endurance and physical strength were astonishing to the green orcs of the same race.
All things considered, it seems like these creatures don't pose much of a threat. But in the far north, Warcraft monsters emerge in endlessly. Many monsters have been domesticated and bred by the black orcs. Right now, they were all riding a huge black wolf on their crotches. Just be part of it. And this kind of cavalry riding giant wolves, because they are dispatched the most frequently, loot the villages the most, and cause the greatest harm. That's why he was called the Black Wolf by the people in the north. Naturally, the bitter water dragon of the northern bitter water river. There are also monsters such as spiny rhinoceros, trolls and so on. Although there are black orcs, the number is too small. Basically they won't be sent to fight.
At this moment, these are already hungry and thirsty. The black orcs wanted to rush down and open the city gate in one go, and take home all the delicious food inside. Suddenly, I heard a heavy trampling sound coming from behind me! Such a shock, even if they were sitting on the giant wolf. You can feel it. One can imagine what a behemoth it was. A large group of black orcs seemed to understand something, and all turned their heads to look.
But they saw a black orc wearing tight armor and a round helmet, riding a rhinoceros with huge spikes all over its body, heavy armor and a curved sharp horn in front of its head. As soon as they saw the visitor, these black orcs immediately seemed to be frightened and rolled off the back of the giant wolf. They knelt on their knees and put their hands on their heads. The black orcs sitting in such a strange posture had fear in their eyes. That's right, in their society, a black orc who can wear full body armor and a helmet, and ride a spiked rhinoceros, is definitely the leader among leaders! Forgive them, they have no idea about the word king. …,
"The Lord Demon King has issued an order. All cavalrymen who went south for hunting must return to Cloud City." This black orc, wearing a helmet and with two exposed blood-red eyes, looked down at these similar people. After issuing such an order, he immediately He pulled the reins in his hand. Regardless, the rhinoceros snorted reluctantly. Controlling him, he turned around and left the sight of the black orc with a roaring sound. What was left was just a large number of black orcs leaning on the ground in a daze beside the giant wolf that was lazily beating on Haqie, looking at each other with blank eyes.
At this moment, across the mountains and rivers covered with ice, there are patches of silver-white woods. After passing through the Kushui River, which has frozen and merged with the ice and snow on both sides, we arrived at the northernmost ice field where no human has ever set foot. Except for a few tents occasionally exposed on the ice sheet. This ice sheet is really lifeless. Deathly temperature and deathly silence are the main themes here. But as we go further north and are about to leave this vast ice field, we can see that roads have been cultivated on the land covered by thousands of years of ice and snow.
At first, only one or two of these roads were extended, but as we went to the back, the roads became more and more dense. These rough roads finally intersect and form a spider web on the ice sheet! On the road, in addition to a few signboards standing on the corners, there are even some passing inns to attract passers-by! And the number of creatures passing by on the road gradually increased. From the original scattered few, to the pairs of convoys behind, moving forward together! If this scene were seen by humans, their jaws would definitely drop in shock! The black orcs, who have always been thought to be reckless and imbecile, are actually able to create such a prosperous human scene!
We can see these passing creatures, except for the largest number of black orcs. There are also groups of cavalry riding giant wolves, a few spiked rhinoceroses working hard to move around carrying goods, and a six-meter-tall troll that is as intimidating as a city gate! Especially the trolls, who are said to be a branch of the extinct giants, are at least six meters tall, have a useless horn on their head, and only have a huge eye in the middle of their face. The whole body is covered with thick fur, and the thick light blue palm holds a stone rod that can be described as a pillar! If such huge monsters attack in groups, I believe any enemy will be intimidated.
If that wasn't nothing, then there are those that occasionally glide across the sky. The bitter water dragon that makes a piercing cry! The outstretched wings covered the pedestrians below, and the armored black orcs riding on them looked with disdain at the similar people walking slowly below! And such a spectacular sight, the number of these busy people is comparable to the place where fifty thousand to one hundred thousand black orcs rush to. The city wall made of ice crystals that stands between the mountains. A huge crystal-like fortress city! There was a dark cloud above, covering the entire city in darkness. It's exactly what the Black Orcs call Cloud City!
You don't need to guess to know that it is impossible for these orcs with a low level of civilization to build such a brilliant city fortress! Such a masterpiece and handwriting can only be what the Black Beast said, Lord Demon King!
Following the Lord Demon Lord's order, all the orcs from all tribes in the entire ice field and the entire north mobilized their belongings and set off. Head to the common capital of the orcs, Cloud City. At this moment, in the endless orc team, except for the black orc. There are actually green orcs who have always been at odds with the black orcs, and even often have wars with them! These two-color torrent of orcs formed black and green ripples on the ice-white ice field, all rushing towards the capital in the eyes of their clan.
Let's cross that huge ice-blue gate. Looking past the countless orcs' heads crowded together, what appeared in front of them were buildings and corridors made entirely of ice. In the aisles, many orcs also ignored those of their own race arriving from various places. They each set up stalls on the street, but all they sold were iron bars. Weapons, armor. And skin, meat. In the primitive trade of barter among the black orcs. The things that can be exchanged, besides the weapons and armor for survival, are the fur and flesh and blood for survival. It’s worth noting, though, that there are a lot of different furs hanging in the store. There are furs from monsters and furs from ordinary animals. There's even human fur. …,
Among all furs, human fur is the cheapest because it is bare and hairless. A piece of scrap copper and iron can be easily replaced by a dozen. But the irony is that among all the various cuts of meat, human meat is the most expensive. A hammer or a pair of leather boots can buy the meat of half a human being. The ridiculous meaning is self-evident.
However, the prices of weapons seized from humans are the most outrageous among all commodities. A cross sword used by a knight, if it is not too broken and the blade is sharp, it can be as strong as a giant wolf mount, plus two pieces of human flesh, and a complete set of leather jackets that can ward off the cold! However, in such a gathering place of black orcs, there are also many green orcs. The two races were originally at war with each other when they met, but now they coexist harmoniously in this dark cloud city.
Green orcs don't live in the ice fields like black orcs. Most of them live in the Gobi and plateaus of the northwest region. Although the climate is equally harsh. But it's better than the dead silence of the ice field. In addition, the green orcs do not fight with humans all year round, and even trade with humans. As a result, green orcs possess much more iron tools and furs than black orcs. It is conceivable that these green orcs came to Cloud City with a lot of precious iron tools and furs, and these green orcs immediately made a lot of money! But the funny thing is that because they coexist peacefully with humans, they rarely have the opportunity to eat human flesh. Therefore, he used the things obtained in exchange to buy a large amount of human flesh again to satisfy his appetite.
It can be seen that the sea-like army of orcs is rolling into Cloud City. And in the very center of Yinyun City, there is a reception hall in a towering ice crystal fortress. The black orcs and the green orcs sat down in two rows facing each other. The orcs sitting here are all wearing sophisticated standard armor, which is not much worse than the full-body plate armor of human knights. Moreover, they were also dressed in silk and fine cloth linings. The weapons on the waist are also exquisitely crafted and very luxurious. It is obvious that the orcs from both sides sitting here are the real orc leadership. The king who controls the orcs. In terms of the orcs' own civilization, these are their chiefs.
"The ice field here is too cold, and the meat you eat turns into ice lumps. Our Gobi is better." At this time, the leader, a green orc with big braids and about the same height as a human, looked at the reception hall. On top, they are all sharp icicles. There was also a layer of frost on the floor. So he shook his head in displeasure, and habitually touched the two fangs exposed outside his lips and said this. But obviously, these words really offended these black orcs, whose height and physique were not as strong as the green orcs.
The leading bald black orc stood up with blood-red eyes and fiercely took out the scimitar that reflected the light from his waist. Kicking away the chair in front of him, he glared ferociously at the green orc with big pigtails in front of him and shouted: "You green-skinned stinky guy, you have to understand that this is an ice field! It's not your desolate Gobi! I don't like it. Get out of here! Go back to where you came from!" "Oh! You, a black dwarf, are kicking your nose? If it weren't for the majesty of Lord Demon Lord, I wouldn't even bother to come to your sterile ice cave!" "Green pig, you want to compete, right?" "Waiting for you, black dwarf, just come up. I will swallow all your rancid rotten meat in one bite!"
After hearing a burst of fierce yelling, the black orcs and the green orcs on both sides stood up and glared at them. As soon as the leader gave the order, they attacked and destroyed these annoying things. However, the atmosphere was already filled with the smell of gunpowder. When the situation was about to break out, the heavy sound of iron boots stepping on the stone slabs was heard slowly echoing from the front. The two sides, who were originally in a tense situation, suddenly looked stunned. They immediately put away their weapons and turned around calmly. They all knelt down on one knee and said with great respect: "May you be eternally happy, my Lord Demon Lord."…,
At this moment, the reflection of ice crystals could be seen, and a person was covered in armor, with black smoke billowing from the gaps in the armor. The so-called Demon Lord, with two dark purple lights flashing in his pitch-black helmet, was walking to the front of the hall with cold and ruthless steps, and calmly turned around and sat down on the frost-covered stone chair.
When the orcs stood up one after another, this so-called demon king. The dark purple eyes hidden under the black armor suddenly lit up slightly. The indistinguishable voice of male and female immediately reached the ears of all the orcs present: "The green orcs believe in Marcus, the god of war, and the black orcs believe in the god of darkness, Belair. But here. We don't need to worry about it anymore. Faith. Don’t worry about the gods anymore. We are equal here, and we want to live happily and happily.”
"But, Lord Demon King, now that the elves are attacking humans, the Bru people are ready to make a move. They humans are gathering an army to go south to fight against the elves. We have very little food for winter, because you are anxious about us at this time, and you will miss out on the plunder. It’s a precious opportunity for resources!” The big-braided green orc on one side immediately advised him cautiously. Because he became the leader, he was grateful to this demon king for getting rid of his predecessor. He didn't want to follow in his predecessor's footsteps because of a moment of confusion.
But who knows, after hearing the words of the green orc, the demon king just nodded and said: "So, we are about to take most of the troops, no longer the plunder and raid in previous years, but completely capture the human territory. Enjoy them Endless resources and food. Live in a warm house." Such a bold plan is not unknown to anyone. The orcs had this plan many years ago and have put it into action several times. But without exception, they faced well-equipped human soldiers and tall and thick fortresses. Although they have achieved some results, their losses far outweigh their gains. Therefore, in the minds of the orcs, there is absolutely no benefit to going to war against humans. It is better to occasionally plunder to obtain resources.
The orcs, who knew very clearly that this proposal was to die, looked at each other. Finally, the bald black orc chief couldn't bear it anymore and said fearfully: "Master Demon Lord, with our strength, we are going to attack human castles and city walls. It's really..." But this Lord Demon Lord The answer was completely beyond the expectations of the orcs, and even made the orcs faintly surprised: "I have already discussed it with the Bru people. When the time comes, their army will join our army. Under the full attack of the three tribes, human beings will not be able to do anything at all." Nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we still have many allies."
Upon hearing this, the orc immediately let out a low cry. The big-braided green orc glanced at the equally unbelievable black orc, and couldn't help but ask: "Lord Demon Lord, I would like to ask how the Bulu people in the east managed to cross the snowy mountains that separate us, and how What about that icy land of death?”
The icy land, the only path seen in the ice fields of the Bruurs and Black Orcs. There are no mountains, rivers or plants at all in this land. The trees, grass, stones, and river water there are all strange ice. You can even see the ice cubes of some extinct monsters, keeping their running posture and staying on the grass. It was as weird as if everything that was originally prosperous suddenly turned into ice sculptures. Regardless of whether it is a dead or living thing that walks into this cold place, it will instantly fall into the same fate as other ice sculptures. A horrific death that completely turned into ice from the inside out. But this natural barrier helplessly separated the orcs and the Bru people. Neighbors who have lived for thousands of years rarely meet each other.
Of course, this cold place of death is the phenomenon caused by the self-fall of Anakin and Ripley three thousand years ago. …,
"You don't have to worry about how they came here. You just need to understand that the Bru people will provide you with weapons and armor. The three tribes will join forces to attack the human territory. And our goal is to completely occupy the Holy Land of Cassiry in the center of Middle-earth. City. Pull the spokesperson of the false god Enos from his throne."
"Hahaha, with the help of the Bru people, humans who are struggling to deal with the elves will never be able to defeat us!" The orcs came here happily, but they heard a commotion outside. Everyone turned their heads to look strangely, and unconsciously stepped forward to open the door. But after seeing the scene outside, a group of orcs also gasped in shock!
I saw the vast city outside. A large group of Bru people, more than two meters tall, wearing half-armor, furs on the hem, holding huge battle axes or hammers, are walking majestically towards the central castle! Not to mention that the orcs on the road looked at the Bru people in shock who should not and could not be here. The head of the Naburu. Qing Yishi rode a huge saber-toothed tiger monster, wearing heavy armor and a helmet that covered his face, and galloped to the castle and stopped. The big men who got down bent down one by one and passed through the low door facing them. Rows and rows of Bru people walked to the square in front of the castle in full view of everyone. Suddenly he took off his helmet, revealing his ferocious, broad and savage face.
The leader, a bearded man who was blind in one eye, suddenly knelt on the ground on one knee. The Bulu people who followed behind also knelt all over the ground. But I heard the leader's eyes widen, and his voice spread throughout the Cloud City, shocking the ears of the orc chiefs in the hall: "The 16th Warhammer King of the Du Gang Dynasty, Otto Lei! Bringing Blue Elite Tile The Ranji Guards and the Na'vi Du War Legion total 60,000! Come and stop any orders from Lord Demon King!"
"Huh!" The entire Yinyun City fell into a state of shock and disbelief. In addition to being unbelievable, all the orcs also have an irrepressible surprise! Looking outside the cloudy city, the Bulu army still blocking the sky and surrounding the city like a black ocean, the thrilling and heroic feeling is simply beyond words!
But among all the people, only the Demon King, who was sitting high on the throne, remained silent and quiet. But the dark purple light shone slightly, showing his emotions.
At the same time, what was originally a cold place has turned into a child on a plain. Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the mountains and rivers and see the scene of Yinyun City on the other side. Almost at the same time as the Demon Lord, his eyes flashed with a dark purple light. With a voice that could not distinguish between male and female, he murmured: "Majora, I am ready. I am just waiting for your signal to direct these chess pieces and let this chess game begin to move toward a balanced end." (To be completed.) Continued.)
