Chapter 1018: The Two-Handed Preparation of The Odin Empire
"Why is God so unfair? Our cattle and sheep have no pasture to eat, and they are all hungry and skinny. Our warriors, our herdsmen, can only grind the bones and make soup to deceive themselves. The pasture here is actually better than
The lambs need to be taller? This is obviously the grassland given to us by the gods. Why do we have to ask for permission from the invaders when we go to our own homes to graze? This is an insult to all Odin warriors!" Erhelek was indignant.
Full of anger with no place to vent.
The first warrior of the Theodin Empire, compared to the fat and strong body five years ago, he has lost more than three times weight, and the flesh on his face has sunk deeply. This is largely due to his huge body.
The skeleton is supporting it.
To turn a powerful champion knight into what he is now is definitely not the result of a month or two of starvation, but it takes several years without adequate nutritional supplements.
As a chief of a large tribe, the warriors who guard the Emperor of Theodin Empire have such virtues, not to mention the terrible situation of ordinary Odin orc herdsmen.
The Odin soldiers behind him were also very thin. The originally well-fitting armor was a little loose on their bodies, as if a gust of wind could blow them off their horses.
However, the war horses under their crotches were all fat and strong, and they did not look like they had just survived five years of disaster.
For the Odin Orcs, their war horses are more important than their lives. Many times, they would rather eat and drink less than they can eat without their horses, because this is an indispensable part of their lives.
With so few tools, if the war horses were starved to death, they would really be unable to move forward.
As a unit with a special mission, it needs to travel tens of thousands of kilometers in the shortest possible time. The horses under its legs need to be carefully selected. The equipment is not one person and two riders, but one person and three riders.
When these long-trained war horses saw the rich grass in the East Odin grassland, their eyes were gleaming and they were unable to walk.
In the past five disaster years, although they have not suffered the same sins as ordinary animals, they cannot open their stomachs to eat, especially since they can directly feel the difference between these pastures and the ones they have eaten before.
It is definitely a great supplement to nourish a deprived body.
"The water plants here are good, and it's getting dark. Let's set up camp here tonight!" Skambaz looked around and said to Erile and Ke.
"That's good. We have been driving for so long, and both the brothers and the horses are exhausted. Let's take advantage of the rich water and grass here to take a good rest today." Orielheke said to his subordinates.
The soldier nodded and said, "Tell the people below to be careful. We may have entered the area occupied by the Yongye Army now, and may collide with their herdsmen outpost at any time. Try to avoid a head-on conflict with them."
"As you command." The Odin orcs loudly accepted the order.
They are all elites hand-picked by Russia and Russia, and they know very well what they do.
Gathering up the war horses and grazing nearby.
Anza tent.
Raising a bonfire.
Taking a hunting bow to the surrounding areas for hunting.
Looking for clean water.
It can be said that everyone performs their duties without any confusion.
Skambari drove his war horse and stopped in a place with the richest water and grass. He closed his eyes for a while, took a long breath and said: "It seems that the Holy See's statement about the leader of the Yongye Army is not true.
Pure slander, but there is some truth in it."
Erile and Ke looked at each other with puzzled faces, unable to guess the meaning of the other's behavior. "What exactly do you mean by the slanderous words, sir?"
Skambazh did not directly answer Ozilhok's question. Instead, he picked a relatively thick root from the pasture, uprooted it, and with a slight flick, peeled off the skin of the entire rhizome and threw it to the other party.
, “What’s the difference in trying these sweet roots?”
After Ozhilek took it, he stuffed it directly into his mouth without suspecting that he was there, just like chewing a radish. He took three mouthfuls and removed most of it.
This grass looks like pasture, but it is actually another kind of plant. It is famous for its fat roots and a lot of moisture and sweetness. Even in normal years, those Odin orcs, especially those greedy ones,
The little Odin orcs all like to use them as natural desserts, not to mention the years when supplies are scarce. Before they are fully grown, they are dug up and the roots and leaves are stewed together as wild vegetables.
"What's the difference? Isn't it just that it's a little bigger than ordinary sweet roots? Well, the sweetness is also a little richer... This is..." At first, Erelehe Ke didn't take it seriously at all, but
As the first mouthful of sweet root was taken down, my eyes involuntarily widened, but my chewing movements became faster.
After a few mouthfuls, he swallowed the sweet root in his hand into his stomach, even the stems and leaves, which had a relatively harsh taste and were difficult to swallow and difficult to digest. Then he jumped to Skambage.
He pulled out several sweet roots from his side, stuffed them into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Sir, what is going on? I felt a force churning in my stomach, and I
I feel like I have endless strength, and I can feel that my body is recovering."
"That's just an illusion caused by the fact that you absorbed a lot of energy in a short period of time. Your body was severely damaged in this disaster. If you want to fully recover, this little energy is far from enough." Skambari's gaze
It was so profound that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking, "Weren't you complaining about the injustice of the gods before? Now I can tell you clearly that the reason why things are so different in the Odin Grassland is not because of the gods.
The arm belonged to a human, the young lord who led the Yongye Army.
The land and grass here contain a unique energy, and it is this energy that allows them to grow taller, stronger and more luxuriant than the grass in our territory under the same conditions."
"How is that possible?" Ereleheke's eyes widened in shock. He forgot to put the sweet root that could quickly replenish body energy into his mouth, "This place is still three thousand kilometers away from the Yongye Army.
, how could they water all the pasture here with energy? This is the ability that only gods have."
"Back then, you witnessed with your own eyes that the lord fought against an indescribable existence. At that time, his strength was beyond our knowledge. Until now, I have only cracked a little bit of its secrets.
Not to mention that ten years have passed and he will not stand still. Every step he takes is an unknown area that we don’t understand. Even if he has grown into a god now, I don’t care.
I feel strange." Skambari sighed faintly and said, "You now understand why I insist on convincing His Majesty that before the two sides go to war, we must hold a meeting to see if we can solve our current problem through peaceful means.
Dilemma, because if we're not careful, we could end up at war with a real god."
"Real gods? Haha...Uncle Wang, the more you live, the more you return." Erileheke laughed and said, "I admit that the personal strength of the young lord who leads the Yongye Army is indeed far beyond
According to our past knowledge, there is still an upper limit to his power. At least, he is still far away from the omnipotent god in the legend... Moreover, Uncle Wang has not analyzed it before. Compared with us, the man who just
The established Holy See Empire, in order to maintain itself from collapse, is more eager to wage war than we are.
As long as our army moves from the west and does not continue to cause pressure and threats to them, no matter whether we start a war with the leader of the Yongye Army or not, they will have a fight with the leader of the Yongye Army.
At that time, can we take the opportunity to take back part of the East Odin grassland to help us survive the current crisis?"
Although this Eastern Expedition of the Theodin Empire was forced by the situation, it was not a rash move, but was carried out after careful consideration and analysis in many aspects.
"I still insist on this analysis and it has never changed. However, many of these things are aimed at people other than the Yongye Army, rather than themselves. For a force known for its rapid development,
, the information we have in hand is too lagging behind. If the Holy See Empire does what we want and entangles most of the military power of the Yongye Army Leader, it will be okay. What if it fails?
If we do not make preparations in advance, our people will be in a dilemma at that time.
Our strength has been severely damaged over the years and we can no longer withstand any major setbacks."
Skambage's vision is obviously much more far-sighted than that of the first warrior of the Odin Orcs.
Woo hoo...
Suddenly, the low horn sound unique to Odin's orcs came from the distance.
The expressions of Skambazh and Ozhilhok froze at the same time. Without hesitation, they got on their horses and ran away in the direction of the sound of the horn.
The two of them had just ridden less than a kilometer when an Odin orc came galloping towards them on horseback.
"What's going on?" Ereleheke asked with a face covered with anger.
"Reporting to the chief, the sentry we sent collided with the enemy's ranger." The Odin orc sentry replied.
"Are both sides using weapons?" Skambari couldn't help but asked about the situation he was most concerned about.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Prince, we are following your instructions. When we found the other party's traces, we took off the bow strings, sheathed our swords, and expressed our goodwill. However, the other party was a little aggressive. Before I came back to send the message, we were talking to our
People are chasing and intercepting him." There was unconcealable frustration in the words of the Odin orc wandering sentry.
Because of Skambage's order, their hands and feet were tied from the beginning. When they met, they were inevitably at a disadvantage.
"You have done a good job." Skambazh warned Ozhilek, "Wait a minute, leave the dialogue to me. You must control your temper. We are not an advance army.
, but the team of envoys who requested peace talks with His Majesty’s goodwill must not destroy our entire plan because of temporary anger. We now represent not only ourselves, but the people of the entire empire. Even if we suffer a little grievance, it is worth it.
of."
"I know what to do." Orielheke snorted, "I just didn't expect that Yongye Army Leader's hand would be stretched out long enough, and the rangers would actually go deep here. They really have a general.
Do you have the appetite to eat the entire East Odin Grassland?"
"It's not necessarily that the other party's influence has radiated here. The other party may have come specifically for us."
"What do you mean, Uncle Wang? Could it be that the leader of Yongye Army already knows that we are coming?" Ereleheke said in surprise.
"It's very possible that as early as the day before yesterday, when I crossed the mountain pass, I had a feeling of being watched. The farther east I went, the stronger the feeling became. Now it seems that it is not an illusion."
A powerful warlock, Skambari's five senses are far more powerful and sharp than ordinary people, especially the mysterious sixth sense.
"Uncle Wang, have you deified the leader of the Eternal Night Army in your heart? Even if the opponent is strong, it is not that strong, right?" In the past, Ozhilek felt that Skanbar was sometimes a little nervous, but
Since setting foot on the East Odin Prairie, this symptom has become more severe.
"Whether it is a deification or not, you will know when you actually come into contact with it." Scambarge did not bother to explain this aspect.
By the time Skambari and the others galloped to the place where the outpost happened, a hundred elite Odin orcs who had come with them to perform the mission had gathered behind them. Each one of them looked highly nervous and could not help but draw their bows and fire arrows.
They have long been far away from the area controlled by the Theodin Empire, and they have no idea what kind of enemy they will face.
"Calm down, everyone, calm down. No one is allowed to attack without my order." Skambari lowered his horse speed and shouted an order to the Odin orcs behind him.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Prince." The elite Odin orcs responded loudly and lowered their bows and arrows, but did not put them away.
"People from Odin?" Skanbar, Ereleheke couldn't help but look at each other, and they could recognize the complexity deep in each other's eyes.
They have clearly seen the situation ahead.
There was a group of no less than a hundred cavalrymen, surrounding a dozen of their sentries in the middle, galloping and roaring non-stop.
This is the most commonly used demonstration and deterrence tactic on the grassland.
These cavalry have the same faces as Skambage and the others, and they are all pure Odin orcs.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the two belong to completely different camps.
Compared with the elite Odin orcs led by Skambaz, this group of Odin orc cavalry is generally more majestic, and the size of some of them is even comparable to that of Orelhok.
This is the first thing that makes Skanbarz and the others suspicious. You must know that their team is an elite carefully selected from the entire Theodin Empire. They do not represent the Odin Orcs of the Theodin Empire.
