In the snow forest, a group of barbarian warriors began to cut down pine trees and build a ballista fort that could be lifted and moved by manpower. There were also a dozen barbarians trying to play with the ballistae. When they finished all six ballistae,
It's almost time for the war to begin.
Bottom stood on the city tower, his face as dark as water, and he said bitterly: "These damn barbarians, the army of Luoye City will kill them all!"
Rhodes next to him said: "The barbarians are very smart. I hope they can make a wise choice this time."
Bottom turned to look at Dr. Cole and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you ready?"
Dr. Cole nodded expressionlessly and said in an indifferent tone: "I brought all the barbarian female slaves from the pharmacy here, and I also explained to them carefully what to do."
Rhodes smiled and said to him: "Mr. Doctor, as long as you can get through this difficulty, I will double the compensation for the loss of the barbarian slave girl. I promise to find you a more beautiful barbarian slave girl."
Cole sighed, glanced regretfully at the shivering barbarian female slaves who were hugging each other, shook his head and said: "I have put a lot of effort into cultivating them...Forget it, you can just pick it up and use it, you don't need to compensate me.
.”
These barbarian female slaves in the pharmacy are all of good quality. In terms of body and appearance, they are top-quality goods that can be used as personal pets. The market price will not be less than 300 gold pagodas. Moreover, these barbarian slaves have been carefully trained by Dr. Cole.
They have the level of medicine training of a junior pharmacist, which doubles their worth. Each one can be sold for a sky-high price of 1,000 gold pagodas.
Rhodes has been trading slaves for many years, and he also feels that it is a pity to abandon these barbarian female slaves. However, the current situation is urgent. If Braun Town is attacked by the enemy, the fate of these barbarian female slaves is unknown, but they will definitely not be retained.
He reached out and randomly picked out one of the barbarian female slaves. Several adventurers forcibly dragged her out from among her companions, tied her with ropes, tied a slip knot, and hung her from the city wall.
The barbarian female slave was obviously frightened. She fell along the city wall to the snow without untying the rope buckle. She cried and begged Master Cole to pull her back.
Dr. Cole shouted to her condescendingly: "Wendy, be obedient and go find the barbarians on the opposite side and convey my words to them. Regardless of whether they agree or not, you can come back."
After hearing the master's order, the barbarian female slave had to untie the rope and slowly walked towards the barbarian position on the opposite side of the city wall.
Rhodes’ idea was to send a barbarian female slave to represent Braun Town to negotiate with the barbarians and ask them why they wanted to attack the Disa Alliance’s Braun Town. By doing so, weren’t they afraid of the alliance’s retaliation? Can conditions be set to avoid this?
Bloody conflict?
This slave trader knew the barbarians on the other side of the lake very well. They were oppressed by the Blackfire Tribe and struggled to survive between the Blackfire Orcs and the Fallen Leaf City. They should not be willing to attack Braun Town. Rhodes believed that the Barbarians of Lake Braun and the Outland Orcs were trying to survive.
The orcs united because they were coerced by the other party.
His reason is that there are more than 3,000 orcs in the outer land opposite. After deducting half of the coolies, there are less than 2,000 combat-effective fighters and butchers, while there are more than 900 barbarian warriors. In terms of comparison of force, the orcs present are not able to
The absolute advantage of crushing 900 barbarian warriors. However, the half-orc leader dared to hand over the crossbow to the barbarians for use, which shows that the half-orcs in the outside world are not afraid of the barbarian backlash. Their main force is suppressing the barbarian tribe from behind, taking the women and children in the tribe as hostages.
The coerced barbarian warriors and orcs cannot be of the same mind.
Since force is not enough to defeat the opponent, Rhodes wants to use a strategy to win a chance for the half-elves in Braun Town. He proposed that Braun Town only negotiates with the barbarians on the opposite side, which may make the half-orcs in the outside world wary of the barbarians and achieve differentiation and disintegration.
Even if it doesn't work, you can also delay time through negotiation and continue to consume the food of the orcs and barbarians. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it will be to Braun Town.
Although this was said, everyone still had expectations for the outcome of the negotiations. After a short discussion, Bottom said that as long as the orcs and barbarians allowed the residents of Braun Town to evacuate in batches within two days, Braun Town and the people inside could be evacuated.
All supplies and food were left to the other party.
Wiltok listened in on the whole process, and the "Knowledge Puzzle" had not yet completed its analysis, but he felt that Rhodes' idea could be tried.
The barbarian female slave walking alone in the snow didn't know that she carried everyone's hopes. She walked very slowly, almost turning back after three steps, hoping to see Dr. Cole waving to her and calling her back.
At this time, a sharp arrow flew out of the city wall, with a piercing scream, and shot on the snow at the feet of the barbarian slave girl, just missing her calf. The barbarian slave girl turned around and found that there was a man beside Master Cole.
The professional was aiming his bow and arrow at her, but Master Cole's eyes were indifferent. She understood instantly, so she staggered and quickened her pace, trying to get out of the range of the bow and arrow as soon as possible.
The barbarian female slave ran faster and faster, and in the end she was literally running across the snow. She looked like she had regained her freedom and was eager to be reunited with her tribe, running towards the barbarian warriors on the opposite side.
Seeing this scene, Rhodes said with a faint smile: "No matter how docile the barbarian slaves are, they are still barbarians. At the moment of life and death, they will reveal their true nature. Therefore, we never have to expect the barbarian slaves to fight for the alliance." He paused,
Turning to Cole, he said: "If this barbarian female slave is unwilling to come back to report the news, I will send another barbarian female slave to continue delivering the news for us, but this time, I'm afraid I will have to use her best sister as a hostage. After a while,
, please also ask the doctor to help me identify the barbarian female slave who serves as the messenger and hostage."
Seeing the barbarian slave Wendy running so happily, Cole's face didn't look very good and he simply said: "Okay!"
Rhodes and Cole were about to raise their butcher knives against the barbarian slave girl in the pharmacy. Wiltok didn't know why, and his attention was focused on the barbarian slave girl Wendy. He saw her running towards the barbarian camp, and several barbarian warriors attacked her.
She stopped outside, but did not hurt her.
After a while, a barbarian warrior with an exceptionally tall and muscular figure walked up to Wendy, and the two began to talk.
They were relatively far away from the city wall, and they spoke a barbarian language. Wiltok could hear their chatter, but couldn't understand what they were saying.
Suddenly, a tall and fat butcher rushed out of the orc camp and rushed in the direction of the barbarian slave girl. It took a step more than ten meters away, and landed heavily, causing the snow to burst and fly, like a giant elephant opening a path; but it was light and dexterous in the air,
Like an eagle gliding against the snow.
The movements of the Orc Butcher are full of a unique sense of rhythm, perfectly blending heaviness and lightness, strength and dexterity, without being obtrusive. It made several consecutive leaps and came to the barbarian camp, easily knocking away several barbarian warriors who tried to intercept it.
, while Wendy turned to watch, in front of the barbarian leader, she used a huge stone ax to cut off the head of the barbarian slave girl.
Wiltok closed his eyes suddenly. The head of the barbarian slave Wendy was separated, and the blood in her neck was gushing out like a fountain. However, the tragic scene of the headless body slowly kneeling could not be removed from his mind.
For the first time since waking up, he saw ruthless killing. Even though the one who was killed was Wendy, a barbarian slave girl. She had not even spoken to Vertok, but the helplessness and despair on Wendy's face when she was beheaded by the butcher made Vertok
Ke couldn't bear to look directly, but the ruthlessness of the orcs wielding their axes revealed another side of the world to him.
The golden light group in the conscious world instantly released a large amount of information, which had nothing to do with memory, but a kind of cognition from the will. Wiltok could not open his eyes, but the "Knowledge Puzzle" obtained these cognitions and quickly helped him think about it.
Many things have been cleared up.
Most half-elves didn't notice anything strange about Wiltok. The half-orc butcher flew and beheaded the barbarian slave girl, fully demonstrating its terrifying strength. Everyone watched helplessly as it lifted Wendy's head from the snow.
Step by step towards the city wall.
It is 2.3 meters tall, fat, ugly, and ferocious, but its lower jaw does not have the common exposed fangs of orc warriors, and a pair of pointed ears seems to have been torn off by something. The bald head looks a bit funny. The one on the city wall
The half-elf guards watched it enter the range of the ballista, and when they walked under the city wall, no one dared to shoot sharp arrows or throw javelins at the butcher.
The half-orc butcher's scarlet eyes contained a cruel and crazy killing intent. He glanced at the half-elves on the wall with contempt, then raised his hand and threw Wendy's head onto the tower.
Annie, the archer warrior of the Qin and Whistle adventure group, couldn't help it anymore. She aimed at the Orc Butcher forty meters away and fired a burst of rapid fire. The guards seemed to have received the signal, and raindrops of arrows and crossbows were thrown at the Orc Butcher.
The butcher swung his giant ax and moved his body, causing most of the feathered arrows and the powerful crossbow to miss. A few of the feathered arrows shot at it were directly deflected, with no effect.
"There is no need to waste arrows and crossbows. This butcher has mastered the heart of the mirror and has combat intuition. Coupled with the defense provided by the blood rage talent, ordinary crossbows are ineffective against him, and it is difficult for a crossbow to hit it." Bottom
Put a stop to the half-elves' futile shooting.
The atmosphere on the city wall began to become bleak. The half-elf guards stopped fighting one after another, and their morale was inevitably low. Seeing that no one was shooting at him anymore, the butcher picked up his giant ax and walked back swaggeringly.
Wiltok grabbed a war bow and two feather arrows from the half-elf beside him, and shot continuously at the half-orc butcher.
Two feather arrows passed through the wind and snow, stuck to the position of the half-beast's ears, and grazed its left and right cheeks. The half-orc butcher froze on the spot for an instant. Its ears were incomplete, and its keen intuition was indifferent to these two cold arrows.
It worked. Although the arrow didn't hurt it, it suffered a critical blow to its soul.
The Orc Butcher will never forget the scene when that monster, as tall as itself, with a pair of round ears, punched the most powerful Butcher Chief in the tribe, its father, into pieces. The Butcher roared and charged.
To that monster, he wanted to avenge his chief father. However, he was as weak as a female deer in front of the round-eared monster. He was captured alive, his fangs were pulled out, and finally a pair of ears were cut off. Only then did the round-eared monster kill him.
It's put back into the tribe.
This is the greatest shame in the life of the Orc Butcher. Now, the half-elf on the city wall actually deliberately shoots its ear with a bow and arrow?!
The Butcher's anger rose to its peak in an instant. It turned around suddenly, its bloody eyes staring at Wiltok on the city wall. When it saw Steel Rock wearing a bear helmet and animal skin appearing next to Wiltok, it turned around again.
He snorted heavily, turned around and ran quickly towards the orc camp.
"...runs like a rabbit, but it's a pity that it has no ears." Wiltok curled his lips and said. A burst of laughter suddenly broke out on the tower.
The slave trader Rhodes said with a smile: "If you shoot well, you kill better... I will send two more barbarian female slaves to be killed by the orcs, and next time there will be four... until the orc butcher kills him in front of the barbarian warriors.
Kill all the barbarian female slaves."
Wiltok had already figured it out. Rhodes expected that the half-orcs in the outer world would not let the barbarian slave girl negotiate with the local barbarians on behalf of the half-elves, so he deliberately sent the barbarian slave girl to die. It would be best if negotiations could be made, but if the half-orcs could do so in front of the
Killing the barbarian female slaves in front of the barbarian warriors can also provoke conflict between the two parties and achieve the purpose of differentiation.
Dozens of barbarian female slaves held Wendy's head and cried, but no half-elf sympathized with them. Because they were slaves, and they were also barbarians. The barbarian female slaves in the plantation helped the enemy dismantle the ballistae, causing the situation in Braun Town to take a turn for the worse.
This made the half-elves hate the barbarian female slaves to the core.
Several professionals dragged out two more barbarian female slaves, tied ropes on them, and prepared to send them down the city wall.
"enough!"
Vertok used the battle breathing method and let out a thunderous roar from his chest. The powerful sound hit the fort, causing waves of echoes, and the snow on the top of the wall also fell rustlingly.
"Are you happy that the enemy killed the envoy we sent to negotiate and chopped off her head in front of us?!"
"You all listen up, the most precious meaning of fighting is to survive, not anything else! To wield a knife against the stronger is courage, and to wield a knife against the weaker is nature. Do you really think that the orcs will kill all our barbarian female slaves?
, will the barbarians on the opposite side resist the orc army?"
"No! They will only follow the instinct of wielding swords at the weaker ones in order to survive, just like water flowing to lower places, pouring their anger on us! And do we want to vent our resentment on these barbarian female slaves?
Swinging the butcher's knife at the weaker ones? This will only make us lose the courage to fight for survival and swing the knife at the stronger ones!"
"My answer is, never!" Vertok stood on the parapet, pulled out his long sword, pointed the blade at the enemy opposite, and shouted to everyone: "Today, there is only a bloody battle!"
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed passionately in the ears of the half-elf. After a brief silence, an even louder echo erupted from the city wall. It was the clanking sound of swords being unsheathed, and the roars of "bloody battle".
Bottom noticed the enemy's movement and immediately shouted loudly:
"The enemy has moved, be prepared and defend the city wall!"
"The ballistae aimed at the ballistas on the opposite side... and tried to destroy them."
"The crossbowmen listen to my orders before firing arrows, and give priority to shooting the orc coolies."
The half-elves on the city wall were busy and entered combat positions, preparing to face the coalition of half-orcs and barbarians. At this time, Gangyan, who had been silent, said to Wiltok: "Vell, you are very good."
Wiltok nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Yes, I think so too."
Gang Yan smiled, raised his hand and pointed at the orc camp, pointed out the positions of the ten orc butchers, and said: "Among the enemies on the opposite side, only these ten butchers make me feel dangerous. They are stronger than my tribe, and those
That butcher next to me, I’m not even sure I can defeat him. You have to be especially careful.”
Vertok's eyes followed Gang Yan's fingers to the barbarian camp and saw an orc butcher standing with the barbarian leader.
