Chapter 99: Orcs (Part 2)

"How did this work?"

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

This scene is too much beyond Murphy's estimation.

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

Gandalf, the gray-robed mage, took a breath. It seemed that the previous spells had consumed a lot of his energy. After recovering, he said: "Among the scholars who first went to the ancient elf residence to learn magic, some scholars are very curious. How the ancient elves got close to nature and controlled beasts, they learned part of druid magic from an archdruid. This school is called transfiguration."

"Humans can't transform into some kind of powerful beast like Elf Druids, but they learned a power called [Soul of the Wild] from the Archdruids."

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

The gray-robed mage Gandalf picked up the dark green gemstone from the ground and put it into his robe, and said slowly: "This gem is called the Eye of Azshara, and it was found by scholars from the ancient ruins. It can Some images are stored, but it takes a lot of magic to actuate."

Ancient ruins?

Murphy's heart moved, and he nodded as if realizing something.

"The gnolls on the southern line have been defeated by Grand Duke Robertschild, but the gnolls on the northern line are still at a stalemate." The magician Merlin looked solemn. He took out a map from his pocket and pointed to a point on it, with a deep voice. Said: "The half-orc army will cross the Nidolia River from here to the front of the southern plain. If they will join forces with the gnolls, then things will be serious."

In this big counterattack, the human city-states assembled nearly 200,000 troops.

It can be said that the humans in the entire southern plain were mobilized to counterattack with more than twice the total population of the wolf man!

As long as Murphy guards against this main path, the elite gnolls on the front line can be said to be unable to escape. As long as these elite gnolls, who are mainly adult males, are eliminated, the remaining problems will be much easier to handle. And for a long period of time in the future, it is impossible for the wolf man to pose a threat to the human city-state! However, all this became complicated and confusing under the mobilization of the orc army.

If the half-orc tribes are involved in this battle for the southern plains, then everything in the future is hard to say.

The half-orcs are different from the jackals. They inherit the civilization of the orcs, have their own army establishment, know how to forge weapons, and cultivate crops.

They are a truly intelligent species, although culturally nowhere near the level of humans.

But in terms of army and weapon forging, it is better than humans.

Murphy carefully looked at the map in front of him, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, before asking, "What does the Council of Nobles mean?"

With his finger, he pointed to the territory in front of the canyon that he was guarding now. It was the land that was first captured by the gnolls, connecting the original territory of the half-blood elves, and extending to the Sarasy Basin, covering an area larger than one and a half provinces in his previous life. ! It was originally a land actively developed by humans. However, he had to give up because of the Wolf man's offensive.

"Are they planning to give up these territories and set up a defense line here?" Murphy pointed to his feet and said in a concentrated voice.

If so.

Then the territory promised to Murphy by the human city-state aristocratic council before has shrunk by at least half!

Not only that, but even Mrs. Elizabeth's more than 3,600 square kilometers of land had to give up more than half, which meant that the land that Murphy finally got was only less than 1,200 square kilometers of land extending from this canyon to the city of Athens. Most importantly, if all these territories were included by Murphy, then he would turn into the first line of defense against the attack of the orc army!

Murphy suddenly had the feeling of being calculated by the human city-state!

He couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his heart!

Obviously, these magicians have long been aware of the movements of the orc army. But when Murphy proposed the plan to let Murphy guard the canyon, he did not tell him that the orc army would join the battle. He waited until he sent an army on the verge of an arrow, and then he said everything at this time.

No wonder they agreed to their request so readily!

The nobles of those human city-states not only included themselves in the scope of calculations, but even Lady Elizabeth was also calculated by 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 council. On the one hand, it was to help Murphy, and on the other hand, was it not to monitor Murphy?

Without sending any generals, the army of nearly 5,000 people was handed over to Commander Murphy.

How can this be?

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 stick together.

But now it seems that his thinking is still a bit naive.

I'm afraid that at the beginning, Grand Duke Rothschild assisted him with supplies in order to let himself restrain the gnolls and attract their attention, right?

It's just that 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 council proposed to let itself guard the canyon to withstand the attack of the wolf army? 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.

And the price to pay is only those territories that have no owner in name.

If Murphy succeeds in defending, then he can become a line of defense under the attack of the orc army. In fact, after looking at the map brought out by the magician Merlin, Murphy immediately discovered that the territory promised to him by the noble council was almost in line with Lady Elizabeth's territory. In other words, if you give up regaining the land occupied by the wolf man a year ago and turn to internal defense. Then the half-orc army was going to attack the interior of the southern plain, and the territory promised to Murphy was the first battlefield!

The only good news is that the humans in this world are not so stupid as to betray their own kind.

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

They did send a group of elite troops, and promised Murphy land and aided a lot of supplies.

This was also the reason why Murphy only had a cold expression and didn't turn his back on the spot.

He can only swallow this bitter fruit by himself!

Murphy looked at the few people in front of him indifferently, and said in a deep voice, "I promise to stay here for two days!"

"The promise of the Athenians is a promise!" Murphy picked up a pen and drew a circle on the map, and said in a deep voice, "All the land here belongs to me, although it is still in the hands of the gnolls! But one day I will Take it back with your own hands."

"Two days later, if Grand Duke Rothchild's army hasn't arrived, I will withdraw from the canyon!" Murphy looked at the magician in front of him and said coldly.

He understood now.

The so-called counterattack is simply a scam!

The noble council, which had been monitoring the movement of the orcs, never thought of taking back the land south of the Zangala Mountains, so they generously promised to hand over the nearly 2,500 square kilometers of land to Murphy. In fact, I am afraid that the original plan of the noble council was to take back the plain area north of this canyon. Then use this canyon as a line of defense to resist the attack of the orc army!

To put it more simply.

The aristocratic council first paid Murphy with supplies to gain his favor so that they could send troops, and then promised Murphy the land outside the canyon that they did not intend to retake as reward. If the orc army does not move, then this cooperation is a win-win situation. But if the army of half-orcs also launched an offensive, then the ending would be that only a small piece of cake was left in Murphy's hands.

However, the goal of human city-states to take back the plains and regain the key points of the canyon has been achieved.

At this time, it was impossible for Murphy to give up the canyon and withdraw his troops.

For if he abandoned the canyon, his territory would be completely isolated. Facing half-orcs and jackals were different. During the months when his territory was established, jackals did not notice that a town would be built in the rear in just a few months. But it was different now. If the orc army attacked the southern plains, Murphy's territory would probably bear the brunt of it!

In other words, whether Murphy is willing or not, he must stick to it until the human army arrives.

It feels very uncomfortable to be used as a gun!

Murphy has been fighting every step of the way, but he didn't expect to stumble like this.

"Seeing off the guests!" Murphy said coldly to the general's guard outside the tent.

Now that everything is clear, there is no need to watch these magicians acting in front of me.

Seeing Murphy's indifferent expression, the magician Merlin didn't say anything.

All of this was originally planned, no one will be tricked and show them a good face. They turned and left.

However, when the thin figure in the long gray cloak walked out of the tent, he whispered to Murphy, "At least your territory is safe."

Safety?

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

He rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and thought.

It's been a long time.

"I'm careless..." He sighed, and then said to the outside of the tent, "Send generals Leo Dalie and Marcus Kane over."

After a pause, he added, "Please also invite Mrs. Elizabeth to come over."
