Demon Royal Family

At the junction of the North and the West, a huge team of northern orcs is slowly advancing. Their number is nearly 10,000. One-fifth of them are riding huge plate-armored gray rhinos, which are unique to the northern orc tribes. Riding is extremely scary.

This is the northern orcs headed by the Galubic tribe. The chief is a strong and burly northern orc with a huge nose ring. His name is Gulash. He is nicknamed the "Axe of Massacre" in the tribe. He is holding a A huge long ax three meters wide, stained with blood, had killed countless creatures.

Gulash is the chief of the Gaolub tribe and the strongest man in the tribe. He rides a plate-armored gray rhinoceros at the forefront and leads the tribe to the west. The Mountaineers and the Spear Legion guarded the northern border, and Gulash changed his goal, preparing to spread terror to the relatively weak western border and hunt the group of short "human sheep".

"Were-Sheep" is an insulting name given to humans by the Northern Orcs. The Northern Orcs are a group of extreme racists who take pleasure in killing humans.

Baltagum, the second warrior of the tribe, followed Gulash on a rhinoceros and said in a rough voice: "Great Chief, which human-sheep settlement is our target?"

Gulash shook the chain tied to the rhinoceros horn. At the end of the chain was a human. He was a thin man with sunken eye sockets. His name was Felix. He was once a minor nobleman and was captured by the northern orcs. , willing to be a "human pet" and provide intelligence to the northern orcs, with a flattering look on his face, he quickly replied: "There is a place called Liema Town in the west, and the lord is 'Hurricane' Ivo Harricon. As far as I know, many refugees have gone to Liema Town, and a rough estimate is that there should be 20,000 people now."

"Did you hear that? My favorite said that there are 20,000 human sheep in Liema Town." Gulash said with a cruel look on his face. "Okay, let's decide that is the end point of this killing journey. We will kill all the way. You should be able to have a good time in the past.”

…

The tailor held a ruler and measured Ivo's body size. Ivo let him do whatever he wanted with a helpless expression. Old Cody said that as a lord, he needed a set of majestic clothes to enhance his majesty and cohesion.

There was a knock at the door. Gavin walked in quietly and stood aside, quietly waiting for the tailor to finish. Ivo gave him a confused look, waved the tailor away, and casually sat back in the lord's high-back chair and said: "Yes. What's up?"

Gavin's face was solemn, and he handed over a piece of paper. Ivo glanced casually, frowned suddenly, and read in a low voice: "One day ago, a large number of northern orcs appeared in the Western Territory, burning, killing, and looting along the way, slaughtering two villages, and are going deep into the Western Territory. , the heading seems to be towards Liema Town, and will soon pass through Lord Shaman’s Spirit Bird Woodland.”

The Spirit Bird Grove is the territory in the West closest to the high stone plains in the center of Raseth, and is also the border between the West and the North.

"Where did the information come from?" Ivo asked.

"This is the information returned by the Hurricane Regiment's intelligence network."

Ivo raised his eyebrows. Intelligence is the most valuable in troubled times. He is not only developing Liema Town, but also personally taking over the management of the Hurricane Regiment. Based on Liema Town, he secretly trains new intelligence personnel and moves towards the Sifang region. Diffusion, intelligence spies are hierarchical, and can only contact the upper level, but cannot contact across levels, ensuring confidentiality.

The Hurricane Group is Ivo's own force, and he attaches great importance to it.

The construction of the intelligence network has been fruitful, and the first-hand information this time came from the Hurricane Regiment's intelligence network.

The identity of the mercenary group on the surface has also developed. Ivo previously announced the recruitment of mercenaries as a lord. The Hurricane Group absorbed some scattered lone mercenaries and strengthened some strength. However, Ivo does not attach much importance to the mercenary group business. , leaving them all to Gavin with full authority. It is enough to maintain a certain amount of armed strength. Anyway, all the mercenaries in the group combined cannot defeat him after the transformation.

From Spirit Bird Grove to Liema Town, you have to pass through four territories. Logically speaking, Ivo doesn't need to worry too much. However, his temples were throbbing and he thought it would be better to be prepared. He called the affairs officer and other senior officials and announced: " From now on, Liema Town has entered a state of combat readiness...but we have never left this state. Ahem, in short, we must guard against the northern orcs and let craftsmen build towers and trenches every two hundred meters outside Liema Town. The sooner the better, the better. OK, build as much as you can..."

Old Cody said tremblingly: "Lord, that is a huge expense, and it may not be used."

Ivo thought of his strategic idea and smiled: "It will always come in handy."

At this time, Gavin left the table and came back a few minutes later with an extra piece of paper in his hand, "Lord Ivo, this is the latest information. The orcs in the north attacked for three or four hours, and the Spirit Bird Woodland fell. The woods were burned to a crisp."

"What?"

"It's impossible. There are two thousand guards in the Spirit Bird Grove, and Lord Shaman is an officer."

"The city wall in Spirit Bird Grove is very well defended and will not fall easily. Is there an error in the intelligence?"

Ivo read the information and his face was slightly condensed. In just half a day, a territory was destroyed. In the past, I only heard about the chaos in the north, but now after seeing the results of the northern orc army with my own eyes, Ivo felt the pressure and danger, and became more and more I feel it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day.

"I hope they won't pass through Liema Town." Nafei said worriedly.

"We can't take chances," Ivo knocked on the table. "Anyway, build the fortifications quickly. I don't want to face the northern orcs on the plains."

"clear."

…

In the Spirit Bird Woodland, the lush woods burned down to charcoal.

The double-layered city wall collapsed with a huge gap, and it looked like it had been knocked down by a giant beast.

The town was filled with mutilated corpses. The head of the lord Sir Sharman was inserted into the spire at the top of the clock tower. One of his eyeballs was gouged out. The remaining eyeball was covered with a layer of deathly gray shadow, silently looking down at the beheaded man. Destroyed territory.

The white-skinned northern orcs laugh wildly and enjoy the pleasure of killing "human sheep". They cut off the head and use a special liquid to concoct it into a shrunken skull, which is tied around the waist with a belt. They are brave among the northern orc tribes. symbol of.

Felix, the "favorite" of the great chief Gulash, turned a blind eye to the corpses of his compatriots all over the ground and scrubbed Gulash's mount Gray Rhino flatteringly. Soon after a bucket of water ran out, he hurried to the fountain in the lord's courtyard to pick it up. Shui, suddenly heard the painful and suppressed crying. Listening to the sound, you can imagine the despair of the cryer.

Felix turned his head, followed the sound, and came to the garden of the courtyard. He found a hidden cellar entrance in the grass. He removed the wooden planks of the cellar. Below was a narrow and dark cellar. A woman and two children Huddled inside, when the wooden board was removed, the woman first despaired, and then saw Felix's human form. The light of hope rekindled in her eyes, and she begged Felix with her eyes.

Felix knew these people. The woman was the wife of Lord Sharman, and the two four- and five-year-old children were his children. Felix made a silencing gesture, indicating not to make any sound or move around.

Mrs. Sharman nodded repeatedly, like a drowning person, looking to Felix as a life-saving straw.

After closing the cellar, Felix hurried to Gulash and said flatteringly: "Master, I found three human-goats."

Qulash laughed loudly: "Take me to them."

Felix led the way, brought Gulash to the entrance of the cellar, and opened the cellar with a brush.

Gulash put on a cruel smile, took off the giant ax from his back, lowered his head and walked into the cellar. Soon the cries in the cellar turned into screams, and the screams quickly disappeared.

Gulash, who was covered in blood, came out, took out a piece of dried meat from his waist, and threw it at his feet, "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you, Master." Felix was overjoyed. He quickly got down, picked up the dried meat, and held it tightly in his arms like a treasure.

Gulash walked away, and Felix glanced back at the cellar. He turned a blind eye to Mrs. Sharman's horrified, desperate, and angry expression before her death and the two children who were crushed to death by her big feet. He hugged the dried meat and started chewing it with joy. , the strong smell of blood could not affect his appetite.
