Chapter 883: War and Peace (Part 1)
"How long does it take to go to the reception hall?" Because the journey I had walked before was a bit long, while remembering the road I had walked, the elf in charge could not help but ask.
"Oh, right ahead, His Majesty the King and several auxiliary magistrates are waiting there." The attendant leading the way replied politely.
Hearing such an answer, several elves gave each other a wink. From these few words, they could have heard that this meeting with the king of Tongkdan Kingdom would not be too easy.
However, as long as it is handled properly, it is possible to get things done.
At least, the other party was willing to meet them so quickly and with several auxiliary ministers, it was because they valued it so much that they could convince these people, and things could be done.
"Yeah, I understand." Nodded, the elf messenger in charge stopped saying anything.
The other five elves were obviously the only one who followed him. Seeing that he stopped saying anything, they chose to continue to remain silent.
A few minutes later, they came to a hall, in the reception hall on the right, the kings and ministers of the Tongkdan Kingdom were waiting there, preparing to meet them.
The Tongkdan Kingdom is now not as powerful as before. If the Tongkdan Kingdom was still a medium-sized kingdom on the mainland when the previous generations of kings were in power, then the Tongkdan Kingdom had already become a crumbling small kingdom at this time.
Although the king who is now in power is not considered stupid, he has mediocre qualifications and is a good monarch to defend the country, but not a very good lord.
When it comes to dealing with elves, the king actually prefers peace talks, and several ministers have already held the same opinion. Now the kingdom cannot be conquered.
If you fight again, you will collapse.
As soon as these elf messengers came in, the king winked at his ministers and the ministers nodded.
"You are the king of the Kingdom of Tongkdan? We are the messengers of God Annien. This time we came to talk to you with the peace wish of God Annien." As soon as we entered the hall, the elf's attitude seemed very polite, and the elf messenger in charge even greeted the king with a graceful manner.
The king of the Tongkdan Kingdom nodded: "You come from afar, sit down and talk slowly."
As he said that, he asked the attendants beside him to add seats. After several elves thanked His Majesty the King, he sat down.
"Several messengers, I am the Foreign Minister of the Tongkdan Kingdom. As you said just now, are you here to achieve a peaceful goal?" After several elves sat down, a minister asked.
As a foreign minister, he naturally has the right to inquire about this matter.
The elf envoy in charge smiled and nodded to the foreign minister, then explained: "Yes, our tribe members actually have no intention of invading the mainland. We just want to form our own kingdom, and be able to gain independence at sea and be recognized by the countries on the mainland. After all, any race has the right to obtain a living space. The elves have the only purpose!"
"But who can guarantee that your current proposal is not a delay in tactics?" the military minister on the side interrupted.
"In order to show our sincerity, we can swear in the name of God!" the elf messenger said, slashing gold and iron.
"As long as your country is willing to recognize the independence of our kingdom, our country can swear with you in the name of God. As long as your country does not take the initiative to be enemies with our country, our country is willing to form a century-old peaceful covenant with you!"
The attitude shown by this elf messenger is still very good. He did not act like a winner, nor did he have any weakness to bully. What he showed was an elegant and indifferent, and sincere attitude.
"In the name of God?" The human king and minister both looked at each other.
The elves are indeed quite sincere. They all know about the elves' enthronement of gods. Covenant in the name of the true God is a covenant that cannot be violated.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between both sides eased.
Subsequently, the two sides negotiated on some specific matters. Although they failed to reach an agreement immediately, the royal family did not immediately make a negative decision, which was a breakthrough.
At the same time, the nine groups of envoys sent by the elves not only contacted the royal families of various countries, but also contacted the major churches. What they wanted to express was nothing more than being willing to live in peace with mankind or even form alliances.
Most of the messengers have achieved some initial success, but there are also incidents where humans are killed in anger when they are in contact with human forces.
The slaughtered messenger was because he was unlucky to ask for the members of the royal family and met with members of the Lord of the Glory.
The hatred between the Lord of Glory and the elves was basically unsolvable. After a bloody battle, all the elves were killed on the spot.
After receiving this news, the elves on Hope Island were angry.
However, before they could react, another news came suddenly.
One hundred and thirty-one kilometers downstream of the Gula Plateau, Tayumo City, fifty miles outside the city.
There is a dense forest here, and the area of ​​the dense forest is not too large, but there is no problem with the capacity of thousands of people.
It was at this moment that a group of extremely tall people were hiding in it.
Their heights are all one and a half ordinary humans, and they look extremely burly, with beast patterns on their faces. This is an orc.
Although I was wearing clothes, my clothes were all covered with animal skins.
Almost everyone was holding axes, spears, and giant weapons such as giant hammers. The sharp edge of the axe blade flashed with cold light. In the woods, the orcs were resting.
The orcs led by the surroundings are discussing things.
"Ashan, we went around three cities and several big circles before we came here. Execute what you said unexpectedly. Tell me, when will we attack the city? Do you have to wait until dark?"
The person who spoke was an orc. His skin color was darker than others, and his face was ferocious. When he spoke, his white teeth appeared and disappeared from time to time.
"Potterbo, don't be anxious first. Look at this, this city is absolutely unprepared. Your tribe will definitely be able to kill a big fight this time!" The orc named Ashan said with a laugh. It can be seen that he still has a lot of animal hair on his body, which looks very rough.
"Ashan, we have agreed in advance that the jewelry in the city will be divided equally by our tribes, as well as food and other materials, and all of them must be distributed equally!" Potterbo said.
"Don't worry, then, each of our tribes will choose an area, and no one will interfere with anyone!" Ashan said with a chuckle: "Do you think that only your tribe needs military achievements and sacrifice human blood to God. Which of us orc warriors doesn't think so?"
He looked at the other tribal leaders who were busy wiping their weapons. The orc leaders all raised their heads and showed a stern smile.
"That's right, we orcs all hope to sacrifice to our god with human blood!"
"Potterbo, then, your tribe cannot steal the spoils that belong to our tribe!"
"Jushan said, and at that time, our tribe will fix an area and no one will interfere with anyone!" After hearing Ashan's question, several orc leaders expressed their opinions one after another.
"Okay! Just do that!" The Porterbo was also very happy. After hearing what his companion said, he responded in one go.
At this time, it was already dark. Seeing that the light gradually darkened, Ashan turned around and said to the orc leaders in front of him: "Warriors, it's time for us to set off!"
"Kill all those humans!"
"Kill those humans! Use our weapons to sacrifice to God!"
"Kill them all! Take them all! Burn the city of humans!" Hearing that he was about to set off, the orcs were all excited, and some orcs even started to scream.
Ashan made a stopping action, and the sound gradually disappeared.
"When siege, we will first attack according to our prior arrangements. After being discovered, we will attack hard. While attacking hard, we will send people to charge from weak places in other directions to try to open a gap and rush in." Ashan said: "When we arrive in the city, divide five areas, east, west, south, and inner city!"
The other orcs heard this and understood.
"Okay, let's go!" Ashan waved his hand and the team came out of the forest.
The orcs are tall and burly, and have excellent physical fitness. Their running speed and durability are very strong. In addition, there is a lack of fighting horses. When marching and fighting, the orcs basically go on foot.
The benefits of doing this are also very obvious. If you are riding a war horse to fight, the sound of horse hooves and the neighing of the war horse may expose your own target in advance. Although the war horse is well-trained, it is not as good as humans. It has such good self-control ability. It is easy to have accidents and cause some trouble for the battle.
These orcs would not have these troubles when they marched on foot. They ran very fast and their steps were light. In the darkness, it was difficult for people to discover in advance from a distance.
When they found them, it would probably be too late.
This also created favorable conditions for their sneak attacks.
At this time, Tayumo City had gradually become quiet. People who had been busy all day had returned home. After dinner, most of them had already rested.
At this time, the Tayumo City patrol team was patrolling lazily.
Several years have passed since the magic disaster. They are not the front-line area of ​​the plateau. The patrol team members are just routines for the city defense. Basically, they have no keen vigilance. Although some soldiers face outside the city, some people are talking and chatting, some people are dozing off, and even go to do other things. From the city to the city, there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. No one at all thought that a disaster is coming to them.
"Okay, I've seen Tayumo City. Get close to it as planned in advance!" Ashan said.
So, these orcs slowly moved closer to Tayumo City under the night.
Although their movements were very small, when they approached not far from the city, they were still discovered by the people above.
"Not good! There is something wrong!" The soldiers who found these orcs shouted loudly.
"Warriors, rush for me!" Seeing that the whereabouts had been revealed, Ashan waved his hand and shouted loudly.
Outside the city, which was originally extremely quiet, there was a burst of shouts of killing. The orcs lurking behind, carrying high ladders and hitting the door wood rushed forward quickly.
The door trembled suddenly and trembled as the impact of the door wood.
The orcs below were also constantly injured under the shooting of long arrows.
However, because the orcs have thick skin, their leather jackets are often made of nitrogen, which is as hard as leather armor, and not many are directly killed!
In contrast, the defenders of Tayumo City were not prepared in advance and had defensive weapons, and the other was their combat effectiveness and combat experience, which were far inferior to these orcs.
Even though these defenders had a condescending advantage, they still did not stop the invasion of these orcs.
The siege lasted ten minutes, and the heavy gate was knocked open by the orcs.
The gate, together with the human soldiers blocking the door inside, was trampled by the orcs, and thousands of orcs rushed into the city one by one.
At this moment, a bright moon was shining with a cold light in the sky.
With the orcs invaded, Tayumo City immediately became a hell on earth.
According to the previous arrangement, these orcs, based on their respective tribes, each tribe controlled an area, and then slaughtered in this area.
Both men, women, young and old, were corpses everywhere under their massacre.
The orcs have always been known for their ferocity and cruelty.
Blood flowed everywhere on the land of Tayumo City.
The bloody smell continued to permeate the air of Tayumo City.
In the entire city, except for the very few people who escaped death accidentally, other humans, who are seen by orcs and noticed their whereabouts, cannot escape the fate of being tortured and killed.
"What? Tayumo City was attacked by orcs?!"
"All the people in Tayumo City are dead? Only a few survivors escaped?!"
"The orcs actually dare to do such a thing? Are they crazy?"
"Can the victory of the elves make the orcs also feel ready?"
The sensation of this news is definitely no less than the impact the elves bring to people.
When the humans who survived the Tayumo City massacre incident fled to other areas with this news, all those who received the news were immediately shocked.
This is the second human city to be slaughtered after Sand City!
Almost all of them thought of one thing at this moment, that is, there have been too many turmoils on this continent over the years, right?
Either a demon disaster breaks out or a war between elves and humans. Now, there is another orc chaos. Can this continent still have a stable time?
Such a big event naturally cannot be covered up, and no one wants to cover it up. Soon, the news that the orcs attacked Tayumo City and drove all the humans inside quickly spread the entire continent.
Chapter completed!
