King

Unlike the extinct ancient civilization, the orc empire only declined, but did not disappear.

Even though the inheritance was interrupted midway, the ethnic characters were still passed down.

Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. As an old enemy, the Alpha Kingdom naturally has many scholars who study the orc civilization.

After preliminary excavations were completed, the contents of the murals were deciphered very quickly.

"Count, the content on the mural is a prophecy, which translates to:

One hundred thousand tribulations, Ragnarok, the crystal wall opened, evil things descended, and blood flowed into rivers.

The signature was the former number one fortune teller in the orc empire, and he also left a warning at the end, asking future generations to deal with it rationally. "

Rogerio said solemnly.

The content of the prophecy is too shocking. Ragnarok has confirmed it. If all subsequent prophecies are true, then all races on the mainland will have to fight for the continuation of the race.

"The orc fortune teller's prophecy?"

Earl Pierce couldn't help but exclaimed.

Any continental hegemon cannot be underestimated when it is in its glory.

Especially the ancient profession of diviner, which seems very useless in normal times. Once it comes into play, it can often determine the rise and fall of a party's strength.

However, this kind of divination is usually only for one's own power, and few people let their own fortune tellers predict the fate of the continent.

I don’t know whether the result can be predicted. Anyway, from the moment the fortune telling is initiated, the fortune teller has entered a life countdown.

Trying to change the fate of all living things on the continent, the backlash in this can be imagined.

Generally, only in old age, when life is almost exhausted, will a wave be predicted.

The accuracy all depends on the character of the predictor.

Some people leave prophecies out of righteousness, some people leave prophecies for the sake of immortality, and many more leave prophecies out of sheer mischief.

If the previous content had not been verified, Earl Pierce might have thought it was a prank at the first time.

The future is inherently uncertain, and it is extremely difficult to predict what will happen tens of thousands of years from now.

If you really have this ability, why not predict the national destiny of the Orc Empire and let the strong people in the clan eliminate the hidden danger of the human race in advance.

"Yes, Count!

Judging from the message on the mural, it was indeed left by an orc prophet. It's so old that we can't find any information about this orc prophet. "

Rogerio replied in the affirmative.

As a scholar who studies orc culture, he knows more about the historical figures of the orc empire than many orcs.

Even so, there is still no guarantee that one can be familiar with all historical celebrities.

Time has buried too many truths, and the current history of the orcs is completely pieced together from scattered information, mixed with the personal imagination of scholars.

"knew.

The captain of the guard, immediately arrange for someone to deliver the copied photo stone to His Majesty and the nobles! "

Earl Pierce said calmly.

A prophecy whose truth is unknown cannot be kept secret.

Only when everyone knows it can we better verify the authenticity.

If the prophecy is verified, he, the discoverer, can gain a wave of friendship.

…

Xueyue collar.

After receiving the news, Hudson frowned.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

The amount of information in the prophecy is too small, and we can only roughly judge that the threat comes from outside the world.

When it will erupt and what its strength will be, we have no idea at all.

"Miss Afia, what do you think of this prophecy?"

Hudson asked.

Frankly speaking, he didn't want to consult Afia. My own fortune teller is cute and cute, and doesn't look very reliable at first glance.

He kept her as a support in the territory, not expecting to get anything from her, it was just for appearance.

No matter what her real level is, it is enough to let the outside world know that she has a fortune teller and it can act as a deterrent.

As a strong man in the sanctuary of the Law of Destiny, Hudson is half a prophet in his own right.

It's just that he is more afraid of death and does not dare to take the risk of backlash to peek into the uncertain future.

In Hudson's view, the future is undetermined, and what can be deduced is only the highest possibility.

Compared with directly peering into destiny, fortune tellers are obviously a tricky existence.

Being able to pass it down for so many years, there is naturally a way to deal with backlash, but the effect is not that strong.

"have no idea!

There are so many prophets in history, how could I possibly know them all, let alone the orc prophets from thousands of years ago.

Don't expect to verify the authenticity, Duke. When it comes to the fate of the entire continent, it should not be predicted under normal circumstances.

If it's a prophecy left by the beast god, I think it's pretty much the same. "

After saying that, Afia looked at Hudson warily, her eyes almost wet.

It seems to be saying: If you ask me to divine, I will cry to you.

The funny scene left Hudson speechless. Not only is the fortune teller in my family not very professional, he is also very timid.

It's normal to think about it. A rare profession like a fortune teller would be regarded as a guest of honor in any big power.

Fortune tellers with a little bit of skill have long been recruited by major forces.

After so many years of fighting in the north and south, Hudson encountered only such a wild fortune teller.

"I understand, Miss Afia.

There are many diviners' books in the territorial library. If you are interested, you can go in and have a look.

Your next task is to collect various continental secrets, especially those strange myths and legends in history. It is best to classify them systematically. "

In order to make the best use of everyone's talents, Hudson made arrangements directly.

Forget about divination.

The most indispensable thing for those who practice the Law of Destiny is self-confidence. If you place your hopes on divination, your way forward will be blocked.

How can a person who has no confidence control his destiny?

The episode ended, and Hudson's focus once again returned to territory construction.

With support from all parties in the kingdom, Xueyue collar's industrial output is rising steadily.

The supporting industrial chain is the pinnacle of contemporary times.

Take the steel industry as an example. From upstream mining, to midstream smelting, to downstream processed products, there are all kinds of applications.

Not only can simple swords and spears be produced, but complex armor, magic crossbows, and magic crystal cannons can all be produced.

As of now, the territory has achieved its annual production target of 100,000 tons. Because of the need to build weapons, steel production accounts for up to a quarter.

Looking at the current world, this is a completely backward enterprise in rural areas, but in contemporary times it is the number one steel production base in the Kingdom and the second in the mainland.

Not only the explosion of heavy industry, but also the development speed of other industries is very rapid.

According to normal economic development, Xueyue Ling's small market will definitely not be able to support so many companies.

There has been no impact on the outside world, mainly because less than one-tenth of the products currently produced have entered the market.

After more materials are produced, they go into the combat readiness warehouse.

Unlike food production, where the more the better, weapons and equipment collection and storage have an upper limit.

After several years of continuous building, the stock of ordinary weapons is enough to support a war of annihilation.

The storage quantity of high-tech products such as magic crystal cannons and magic crossbows is also increasing.

After Hudson inspected the warehouse, he stopped pushing for production capacity. Anyone who completes their production tasks will have their production reduced in the future.

The only ones that have no production limit are arrows.

There are more than 300 magic crystal cannons in stock, plus the 200 magic crystal cannons in the army, the total number directly exceeds 500.

There is no need to forget about the magic crystal cannons in the hands of noble lords everywhere. The royal government cannot afford just these five hundred magic crystal cannons.

During the expedition to the Hessian Kingdom, Hudson concentrated on using magic crystal cannons. The power is undeniable, but the cost is also really high.

When others reimbursed the expenses, Hudson didn't feel distressed. When it comes to placing the burden on the kingdom itself, it must consider its financial affordability.

All the domestic magic crystal production capacity combined is not enough to cause the artillery disaster.

Unless the finances couldn't bear it, Hudson wouldn't mind bringing out a thousand cannons.

There is no doubt that this can only be imagined. In the feudal era, poor productivity meant that the magic crystal cannon could not be expanded arbitrarily.

"Select half of the heavier magic crystal cannons and distribute them to the garrisons of the provinces in southern Xinjiang and the northwest. I will talk to the royal government!"

Hudson immediately ordered to the quartermaster.

Large-scale centralized production is still very helpful in promoting the development of productivity.

Compared with the magic crystal cannon manufactured in the early stage, breakthroughs were made in steel smelting technology and cannon-making technology in the middle and later stages, and the weight of the cannon body was directly reduced by one-third.

In a defensive battle, this weight is nothing; in a field battle, the weight of the magic crystal cannon is inversely proportional to its mobility.

If it wants to destroy the Orc Empire, the Kingdom is obviously the main party to attack. Most wars take place in the wild.

There are lighter magic crystal cannons, who would use heavy ones!

However, since the magic crystal cannon is manufactured, it cannot be wasted. It can be used to strengthen the defense of other areas of the kingdom.

Deep down in his heart, Hudson was already complaining secretly. It seemed that something had gone wrong this time.

The enthusiasm of all parties in annihilating the orcs was higher than he expected, leading to overcapacity arriving earlier than expected.

The Xueyue Territory is like this, and the territories of other nobles are probably not much different.

When everyone has overcapacity, then the war can only be brought forward.

But at this juncture, another mysterious prophecy emerged.

If the predicted disaster happens to collide with the kingdom's war to destroy the orcs, the consequences will become unpredictable.

This unspeakable trouble became exclusive to Hudson, while others were still busy preparing for war.

If everyone knew that the kingdom's weapons and equipment reserves had been completed ahead of schedule, I guess everyone would become more enthusiastic.

As for the prophecy, there is a high probability that the nobles in the kingdom will not believe it.

The reason is very simple: this is what the orc prophets left behind.

If nothing else happens, there are already a group of people in the kingdom's aristocratic circles who have made alternative interpretations of the prophecy.

That is: the orc prophet foresaw the danger of the race in advance, and in order to preserve the inheritance of his race, he deliberately left a prophecy to mislead the kingdom.

Logically, it makes perfect sense. Worrying about one's own race is much more persuasive than worrying about the mainland.

Both the real and fake Hudson were at a loss and couldn't find any clue at all, let alone the others.

…

The mysterious prophecy started from the Alpha Kingdom and quickly spread to all parts of the continent.

Those who believed and those who didn't believed were in a quarrel, and neither faction could convince the other. It became a hot spot in mainland China for a while.

Elf forest.

In the third month after the news spread, the contents of the prophecy also reached the hands of the top elf clan officials.

Seeing the prophecy above which was almost the same as that of their own gods, the faces of the high-ranking elves looked very ugly.

If the source hadn't been unearthed from the ruins, they would have suspected it was an internal leak.

Just a prophecy leaked is nothing. The key is that they are preparing to leave. If the two things are connected by various tribes, it is difficult to say whether they can leave.

"What happened to the orc prophet? Have you ever heard of it?"

The Night Elf Queen was the first to ask.

Having lived for more than a thousand years, she has seen a lot.

In her impression, from the time when the Orc Empire dominated the continent to its decline, there were not many wise men, but quite a few reckless men.

Prophet is not a profession, but more of an honorific.

Only if the prophecies left behind are confirmed and have a profound impact on the mainland, will everyone give the person involved this title.

The fortune tellers of the human race, the shaman priests of the orc empire, the star and moon priests of the elves... are all engaged in predicting the future, and the best among them are the prophets.

"Perhaps the Alpha people are deliberately concealing it. They haven't even announced the name of the orc prophet. Who knows what prophecy was left behind.

Maybe it was the work of a certain god, such as: Lord of the Morning.

After the human race dominated the continent, it gained the most abundant power of faith. It was also possible to leave a prophecy after its strength increased greatly.

It just so happens that the Alpha Kingdom has two of his inherited artifacts. It is not difficult for the gods to hide messages inside the artifacts.

Guessing that the problem was too big to solve with their own strength, Alpha let the news out through the mouth of an orc prophet. "

The high priest on the side replied smoothly.

When it comes to a time span of tens of thousands of years, it is simply not something that ordinary beings can peep into.

Even if the gods peek into the future ten thousand years later, they will have to pay a heavy price. If they are unlucky, they may even die directly.

If the elves were still the overlords of the mainland, they would naturally actively find ways to deal with it, but now the mainland has changed its master.

The high-level elves were no longer interested in changing their fate against the will of heaven.

“The message has gotten out and it doesn’t matter who the source is.

For the sake of safety, everyone followed suit and arranged for some elves to track down the traces of the mysterious prophet.

At the same time, the surveillance of the Alpha Kingdom will be strengthened to see what they will do next.

The high priest has prepared an alternative plan. If the plan is leaked in advance, it is acceptable to abandon part of the territory and evacuate! "

The forest elf queen said firmly.

The continent-splitting plan has not been completed for a long time. A large part of the reason is that they have too much appetite and want to leave with the current control area.

This is not a question of greed. The key is that it is easy to split the continent, but the difficult thing is how to leave after being separated from the continent.

This is the first time in the history of the mainland that a magic circle is used to drive the movement of the earth's crust and an artificial drifting island is created on the sea.

Even with countless years of accumulation by the elves, there is no guarantee that we can drive the land under our feet and reach the expected destination smoothly.

If the energy is exhausted midway, leaving the divided island halfway; or if there is too much movement when the land breaks apart, causing waves to hit the island wildly, these are all risks.

In order for their race to survive, they had to take away as much territory as possible. Even if they lie down halfway, there is still enough land for the race to continue to develop.
