Chapter 68 Collecting the Corpse
The residents of Oak Town couldn't believe it after hearing this. In just a moment of hesitation, the two messengers had already rushed into the crowd. The mayor pulled the two people to his chest and asked loudly: "
Tell me quickly what's going on?"
"Mayor, there are about a few hundred temple knights rushing towards our town, followed by the orcs. The distance should be more than five miles. I don't know how many people are in the dark area, but it looks like there are probably thousands of them.
The fog is too thick and it’s hard to see clearly.” After saying this, the two residents who were in charge of sentry took the weapons passed by others and walked into the crowd.
The population of the town was only two thousand, and the number of young men was only eight hundred. The mayor quickly sent 300 people to the village to protect the old, weak, women and children from leaving the village, and the remaining more than 500 people were rushed out by the mayor.
The town was heading towards the temple cavalry. If they could be merged with the temple cavalry, it might be possible to buy some time for the people in the town to escape.
The young adults in the town marched less than three miles to the southwest when they could see the shadow of the temple cavalry. When they marched another mile, some people discovered that something seemed not quite right.
The temple cavalry kept wandering in place, but no one took a step forward. Looking from a distance, there seemed to be something in front of the temple cavalry team. It was too dark to see clearly, like a black curtain covering the temple.
The cavalry surrounded them tightly.
When they got closer, the sharp-eyed mayor discovered that the black curtains were all outside the national border. The town was about ten miles away from the national border. He and the young adults in the town had traveled nearly eight miles, and those things had already
It's starting to become a little obvious.
"God of light is above, that is an arrow"!
When people marched closer, someone finally recognized what it was. It was an isolation line composed of dense arrows, and it was this isolation line that surrounded the Temple Cavalry outside the national boundary of the Gary Empire!
After the mayor saw the situation clearly, he saw the dark orc troops in the distance appearing in his sight. The vanguard of these orcs were all werewolves, and they were all wolf cavalry with mounts under their crotches. There were already thousands of them, and in
The phalanx behind the wolf cavalry was made up of tall tauren, numbering in the thousands.
If seeing the two phalanxes of orcs made the mayor feel cold, then after someone next to him filmed him looking up to the sky, the mayor's heart dropped to the bottom.
The eagle man in the sky, like the feather arrows on the ground, has formed a black and gray iron curtain. The eagle man holds the bow in his hand and the arrow is strung. The chilly arrow is pointing at the residents of Oak Town. It seems that as long as there is the slightest movement, the eagle man will be ruthless.
The rain of arrows will kill all the residents below.
Therefore, everyone, including the mayor, stayed where they were, watching the temple cavalry in the distance with frightened expressions on their faces and feeling helpless.
After the orcs surrounded the remaining temple cavalry, a werewolf riding a magic wolf passed through the arrow bush and came to the edge of the border between the Gary Empire and the Tarn Empire. After settling down no more than three hundred meters away from the residents of Oak Town, he roared
Said: "Who is the leader ahead, come out!"
The mayor hesitated for a moment and then walked out of the crowd. When the two were 200 meters apart, the werewolf got off his mount. He patted the mount's head and took off his weapon and placed it next to the mount. He also walked forward and waited until the two were distanced.
When he was only a hundred meters away, the werewolf signaled to the mayor to stop.
"Who are you? What's your position in the Gary Empire?" the werewolf asked after standing still.
The mayor couldn't help but feel confused when he heard it, because the werewolf's mainland lingua franca was very mellow, without any harshness. It was obviously after long-term practice. He did not dare to relax his vigilance and replied: "I am from Oak Town near the border of the Gary Empire.
Mayor! Who are you, and why do you want to detain the temple cavalry from our Gary Empire?"
"Detain?" The werewolf suddenly laughed after hearing this, then shook his head with some disdain and snorted: "How can you detain someone who invades the territory of our orc empire? Those who invade our territory will be punished no matter how far away they are. If they are simply detained,
Are we still going to such great lengths?"
After hearing this, the mayor's heart trembled. The werewolf seemed to mean to annihilate all the temple cavalry. But at this moment, the mayor had a doubt in his heart. Judging from the strength of the opponent's troops, there was no way.
With so much effort, the Yingmen troops in the sky can wipe out all the remaining temple cavalry. Why do they wait until they arrive near the national border with their own men before showing up?
"Nonsense, how can that be the territory of the Orc Empire? That's the Tarn Empire..."
The mayor was interrupted by the werewolf before he finished speaking, "The Tarn Empire? The Tarn Empire perished four days ago. Otherwise, why would your temple knights come here? What, don't you know?"
Seeing the werewolf looking at him with a puzzled look, the mayor's head went blank after a loud bang. In fact, not only the mayor, but also the werewolf's voice reached the ears of the residents of Oak Town when he spoke.
I was also stunned by this shocking news.
Tarn Empire, gone?
The mayor has been in a high position for a long time, and his mind is stronger than others. He was the first to react and retorted loudly: "Nonsense, our temple cavalry just passed through Oak Town three days ago. At that time..." The mayor suddenly stopped talking and broke into a cold sweat.
It slipped down his cheek involuntarily and fell to the ground. He thought of a possibility. If the guess was correct, the time difference could be explained clearly.
When the Orc Empire captured the Tarn Empire with lightning speed, the information transmission between temples was the fastest, so the temple must have sent a request for help to the temples of each empire before it was captured. The first one to react and mobilize troops to rescue was Gary.
Imperial Temple Cavalry.
Oak Town is not far from the royal city of the Gary Empire, and the Temple Cavalry's station is even closer. So after receiving the rescue order, the Temple Cavalry went to the Tarn Empire. What they didn't know at this time was that the Tarn Empire had been occupied.
When the Orc Empire fell, they embarked on a path of no return.
The mayor opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. A large number of orcs had surrounded the temple cavalry. Even some of the eagle men in the sky had split off and were closely monitoring the movements of the cavalry. Even so, the residents of Oak Town
Still didn't dare to move.
After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, the mayor asked in a deep voice: "Why do you have to wait until we come? Will the Orc Empire also occupy the Gary Empire?"
"Gali Empire? No, no, no, distinguished mayor, I think you are overthinking. The reason why we took over the Tarn Empire is because we once issued an ultimatum. The Gary Empire has agreed to an agreement to coexist with our country on an equal footing.
So you don’t have to worry about us attacking the Gary Empire."
After speaking, the werewolf raised his finger and pointed at the boundary marker and said: "Look, this is the dividing line between our country and your country. None of the troops in our operation have crossed this line, so I sincerely hope that you will not make any mistakes."
Unnecessary actions, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two countries." Indeed, both the location of the werewolf and the isolation zones established by Feather Arrow were within the territory of the original Tarn Empire. What the werewolf said was entirely based on facts.
according to.
"In addition, to answer the first question you just asked, the reason why we waited for you to come is because we want to hand over something to your country. Because there are too many things, we need a lot of people." After saying this, the werewolf put his hands flat.
He said with a relaxed expression.
"Too many?" The mayor didn't understand what the werewolf meant at all, but he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, so he subconsciously asked back.
The werewolf nodded and said: "Yes, there are quite a few of them. We have dealt with some of them, but for the rest, you need to be a witness for us."
"What testimony?" The uneasiness in the mayor's heart became stronger and stronger, and cold sweat broke out on his face again. His eyes were fixed on the werewolf in front of him, trying to see clearly his next movements.
"Of course..." The werewolf raised his hand suddenly, and the mayor subconsciously placed the long knife in his hand across his chest. However, the werewolf in front of him made no other movements, and the screams of humans and the roar of war horses
A neighing sound sounded behind the relaxed-looking werewolf.
"You dare!" The mayor roared and rushed towards the werewolf. He slashed left and right with the long knife in his hand to disrupt the opponent's sight. Then the blade slashed horizontally across the werewolf's waist. The werewolf took a step back and then quickly moved forward.
One hand stretched out to hold the mayor's knife-holding hand, then twisted around and put the knife in the mayor's hand against his neck.
The eagle man in the sky who had been monitoring the residents of Oak Town released a row of arrows when they started to rush forward, forcibly stopping the residents' footsteps. The residents' eyes were full of fear, and in the blink of an eye,
The most powerful mayor was actually captured by a werewolf with his bare hands. How could they, as ordinary people, save those temple cavalry?
Out of fear of death, the residents of Oak Town began to slowly crowd back and retreat. When they retreated to the original spot, the werewolf let go and pushed the mayor away and said: "Of course, I will collect the corpses for your temple knights."
."
"You!" The mayor was so angry that he couldn't speak. Only then did he realize that the entire battlefield had returned to calm. The mayor was so close that he could smell the pungent smell of blood, but he couldn't even hear a sound.
The only thing that could be heard clearly was probably the neighing sound of the horses that had lost control and were surrounded by monsters.
"You actually..." The mayor pointed at the werewolf, but didn't know what to say. The werewolf shook his head and smiled and said: "Now that there are witnesses to the matter, we will go back. The battlefield has been cleaned. Our country allows your country to
Take away the body of the Temple Knight."
After saying that, the werewolf returned to his mount and put on his weapon. He waved his hand and returned to the main formation. Then, under the escort of the Eagle Man troops, he led the Orc troops to slowly withdraw from the sight of humans, leaving nothing but the full range of human beings.
The corpse on the ground, what remains is the dazzling scarlet color in the morning sun.
