Two days later, news of the sudden change in the Spine of the World and the imminent outbreak of the orc tide spread throughout the northern kingdoms. Shado was in the southern border of Nese. He knew this when Hildalanna notified him of the time for the raid.
Informed.
And after he confirmed the news with the Seven Towers, he couldn't help but have a hint of association. How could it be such a coincidence that a wave of orcs broke out in advance and involved the only calm Elfalan?
Let’s not talk about the assassination of the Great Elder Evereska for now. This is related to the mysterious organization, and the mysterious organization has power in all the elven countries, but it is still hidden now!
Apart from this, there has really been nothing major happening in Irfalan recently that could divert our energy. In other words, among the five major countries in the North, only Irfalan can fully compete for the newly discovered ancient fortress.
But now, the orc tide broke out in advance, and Shado was not sure how much it would cost Elfaran to deal with the orc tide, but using the analogy of the Great Xia Territory.
As long as there are a few orc shamans who can temporarily restrain him, a large number of orcs can march straight in. If they want to resist, they can only use human lives or a large number of magic equipment to resist.
Either way, there is a huge price to pay, but in fact, for the orcs, it doesn't matter if they are ordinary orcs, and they can save food!
As long as the totem pole remains intact, it can come back again in a few years.
In fact, after so many years of "running in", the countries in the North, including Netheril, still have orc waves every year, but the intensity is controlled just right.
Humans and elves are unwilling to pay a huge price to completely eliminate the orcs, and the orcs are happy to throw out some of the old, weak, sick and disabled every year so that they can be internally optimized.
A real wave of young orcs only comes once every few years. For example, the previous Savile Territory only came once every ten years, and usually only caused small-scale harassment.
As for some territories in the interior of Nese, as long as the lords on the border don't mess around and deliberately let orcs in, it's normal for them not to see orcs for decades.
This sudden orc wave in the Spine of the World, Xia Duo is almost certain to be caused by humans, and the biggest suspect is Ye Erlan.
On the one hand, he planned to reveal clues about the scrolls of Netheril and drag down Netheril and Cormanthor. On the other hand, he planned to trigger a wave of orcs in northern Elfaran.
In this way, at least three of the five major kingdoms in the North were distracted, making it difficult to compete with Ye Erlan on the ancient fortress.
As for Danzo, the group of dwarves are far less interested in the surface of the earth than humans and elves. The treasures in the ancient fortress are naturally the best, but now the fortress is in the territory of Sluvende, a subsidiary country of Erlan.
With such a troublesome matter, Xia Duo estimated that the dwarves would most likely not get involved.
"Is it just that Ye Erlan is playing with such ingenuity and is not afraid of overturning? Or is it that they have determined and are sure to take out some powerful war weapons from the ancient fortress that are enough to allow them to withstand the criticism of other countries?"
In fact, Xia Duo couldn't understand Ye Erlan's thoughts. Since the ancient fortress appeared in Sluwende, he should advertise that it belongs to him. If other forces dare to participate, then there will be a war. Xia Duo believes that as long as this happens, the other countries will most likely
I won’t participate, at least I won’t go there openly.
"Or is it that Ye Erlan actually failed to grasp the accurate information about the ancient fortress at all, and it was Sluvend who did?"
It has been more than a thousand years since Sluvend was defeated, but it has not been completely annexed by Yeerlan even after such a long time, which shows its strong will to resist.
If they obtain the powerful war weapon in the ancient fortress, Ye'erlan will not only lose a vassal state that can be used and driven at will, but will also have a sworn enemy whose hostile relationship is difficult to repair.
Perhaps only such a crisis, which can be called the destruction of a country, forced Ye Erlan to choose to take risks and provoke turmoil in various countries.
"So what about this so-called raid on the mysterious organization's base?"
Shado couldn't help but wonder if this was another trick of Erlan's to drag Netheril into a situation that would be difficult to escape in a short period of time.
Or is this so-called mysterious organization's base an important place in Sluvender?
This is not to say that it is immovable. How can a defeated country that has endured humiliation and burden for a thousand years do nothing and just be at the mercy of the victorious country?
Maybe the mysterious organization is Sruvander’s restoration organization!
Everything was done for the sake of restoring the country, including the assassination of Elder Everriska. Perhaps Elder Everriska noticed something when he visited Sluvende and had to kill him.
This may be unexpected, but from another perspective, the mysterious organization may have accumulated strength and is on the verge of restoration, but it just missed an opportunity.
At this time, it is considered a normal process to assassinate the head of a country, disrupt the Northland, then secretly open the ancient fortress, take out the big killer weapon, and declare the restoration of the country.
But this way, there is a new problem - the Northland Fortress was leaked too early.
Perhaps it was because of Erlan's infiltration of Sluvende, or perhaps the elder Evereska revealed the news before his death.
But no matter what, there are too many coincidences revealed in this series of events, whether it is Ye Erlan or the mysterious organization.
As an outsider, or a completely passive participant, Xia Duo can only guess, with no evidence at all.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have participated!"
Because it may involve a millennium-long national restoration plan, Xia Duo knows very well that the power of an individual is very small in this. At the same time, it is not a good thing for him as an outsider to be remembered by a group of lunatics.
It's just that the Seven Towers have decided to participate and have signed the contract, so he shouldn't give up halfway, otherwise he will not only lose his personal credibility, but also Netheril's credibility.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow!"
Xia Duo muttered a few words and once again devoted himself to exploring his own thinking mode.
…
So far, the intelligent brain has been developed and can be put into use to a certain extent, but the underlying basic thinking model is not complete enough. If it is just some established and certain thinking, both speed and efficiency are far beyond Xia Duo himself.
But if you want to do some more complex thinking involving concepts, judgments, reasoning, etc., the speed is still very fast, but the accuracy, or efficiency, is far less than that of Xia Duo himself.
Chateau's main purpose of studying the intellectual brain is to save time, which requires the intellectual brain to have both the speed to determine a large number of thinking processes and the accuracy to think about complex problems.
Of course, just talking about accuracy here may not be accurate. We should say "accuracy of judgment based on one's own cognition." This is a private tool with very significant personal characteristics, rather than an absolutely correct "truth wishing machine."
