Chapter two hundred and fifty sixth natural danger
The task of sending an envoy to the Crocodile tribe finally fell on Brann, but the reason was not because he was more suitable for escaping than Kelman, but because he was proficient in the ancient Andis Empire language.
Compared with the Andis people, the Crocodile people, who have been in an absolutely closed environment for a long time, have relatively intact the customs and culture of the ancient Andis Empire, especially in terms of language. Up to now, there are still 70 to 80% of the ancient Andis Empire language.
, at most they add some slang of their own nation. If they use pure Ancient Andis Empire language, they can barely communicate.
This reason makes Kelman very sad, because this is what his teacher, Mr. Lan Xili, is best at. When he first studied with him, he thought that this language was a past tense language and was of little use except for archeology, so he didn't put any effort into it.
After serving in the Yongye Army for many years, he was long ago thrown into Java.
On the contrary, Bronn has a rich family background and has learned a lot, and the warlock's amazing memory means that he will not forget it easily after learning it, and now it is actually useful.
It can only be said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
For the situation in front of him, Brann was fully prepared mentally. He always had a decent smile on his face, turning a blind eye to those looks that were angry, surprised, or disbelieving. He was wearing a well-tailored Yongye military uniform, which set off his appearance.
Outstanding.
At this moment, his heart was filled with pride, and he seemed to have a condescending feeling.
This sense of overlooking does not come from a sense of racial superiority, but from being crushed at a strategic level.
The senior officials of Yongye Group Army may have felt the same way about the Walled City Alliance.
At this moment, Brann felt a little bit lucky. He was glad that his father, Ban Hebra, and he had taken detours, but finally joined this flourishing group.
For the leader of the Yongye Army, the reaction of the Crocodile Tribe people was a bit arrogant to say it was insignificant, but it did not affect the overall situation.
Compared to their strength, the conditions offered by the Yongye Army Leader are generous enough.
After the Crocodile Tribe people join the Evernight Army, they will treat everyone equally. This is not just empty talk, but they are truly prepared to do so.
Because the Andis are a small race, if their hands and feet are tied up by a narrow racial perspective, it will only hinder development.
Tolerating all people like an open sea is the cornerstone of their development and growth. Not to mention that they were members of a family of crocodiles three hundred years ago. The leader of the Yongye Army has a welcoming attitude towards the Odin orcs. It does not mean that Bull Eli
They are like Kesen, but those Odin orc tribes on the Kogel grassland outside the northern fortress.
In the past few years, the leader of the Eternal Night Army has selectively absorbed some individual Odin orcs with poor tribal concepts to graze for themselves. Now the scale has reached three to four thousand people, which is equivalent to a medium-sized Odin orc tribe.
.
Although this patchwork tribe is mostly composed of old, weak, sick and disabled women and children, it is a good start. When those children grow up and receive training and education from the Yong Ye Army Leader, who dares to say that they are not the Yong Ye Army Leader.
people?
For a booming new force, it has enough time and patience to do one thing.
Of course, this premise is carried out under the coordination of the Yongye military leader.
When the time comes, these ethnic groups and tribes of the Crocodile Tribe will have to be dispersed, mixed with the Andis people, and accepted to be assimilated and transformed by the new ideas of the Yong Ye Army Leader.
These are posthumous matters, and Bran will naturally not mention them foolishly here.
After a brief silence, the entire Council of Elders exploded, and everyone couldn't help but further discuss this issue with those around them.
"He just said that the current situation in our Despair Swamp is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Did the Andis people do it? Did they cut off the source of our mother river?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The mother river has nurtured us for so many years, how could it be cut off just by saying it is cut off? How did they Andis people get such great skills? He must be deceiving the public, yes, he must be.
You are making lies to deceive the public!"
"But listening to what he said, it does make some sense. The flow of the mother river has indeed decreased, not by a small amount. If it continues like this, it is not impossible for it to wither."
"When you said that, I remembered that I had seen similar records in the ancient books of my ancestors, but the situation was the opposite. Because of the war, the Guandis Empire activated secret weapons to kill the main force of the rebels.
The mountains were blown up, the Jacob River was blocked, and the mother river flooded, creating the current swamp of despair."
"I seem to have seen similar inscriptions."
"I've seen it too."
"I've seen it too."
"This legend has been around for a long time. Maybe the other party has heard similar legends and looked at the changes in our Despair Swamp, and used it to fool us?"
"It is indeed possible. There are no shortage of bold liars these days."
Because there were too many and too many discussions, Brann could not hear clearly, but it did not prevent him from guessing what the other party was talking about. It was nothing more than questioning the credibility of the matter.
After waiting for five or six minutes, they had almost digested the shocking news, and Brann continued: "I know that the elders have doubts about this information. After all, it involves too much, but it is very simple to verify, and what you hear is false."
Seeing is believing. As long as you go upstream along the Donau River, you will be able to enter the Andis Inland Lake in just two days, then change your way into the Jacob River and go down the river to reach Manyujun in one day.
Leader, as long as you walk around, you can verify whether what I said is true or false."
Brann didn't show any pretense, but the sound he made was like a dragon's roar and a lion's roar, easily overpowering the discussions of hundreds of people and reaching everyone's ears.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously shocked by his hand.
However, there were also knowledgeable people in the Council of Elders who instantly saw through Brann's trick. He sneered and said, "Don't be surprised. This is just an application of magic. It's a small trick. As long as you control the power of the magic,
It can be done to a certain extent.”
When he said the last few words, the situation of the Crocodile tribe elder was very similar to Brann. His voice filled the whole room. Although it was a little unstable, some of the words were clear and some were muddy.
But considering that the other party is learning and selling now, it can be considered quite powerful.
Control level warlock.
This technique uses the power of magic to control sounds to achieve the purpose of amplification.
There is still a certain threshold. When he first learned this skill, Brann, who was at the peak of Whisper level, also spent nearly an hour. The other party was able to learn it with just a few words from him. He must have mastered the power of the spell.
Only at the control level can this be done.
Speaking of the originator of this move, it was his own commander Sean.
Sean's magic power is not the most powerful among the warlocks that Bran has seen, but his use of magic power, especially the incredible use in life, is the first among the warlocks he knows.
.
The principle of such an inconspicuous trick is very simple, but no warlock has ever thought of studying it.
It seems that few warlocks do such things as using their own magic power to get a water cup from a distance. After all, in their eyes, magic power is precious.
But Sean's concept seems to be correct. Spell power is a renewable resource. Wouldn't it be wasted if it is not used every day?
Applying the power of magic to your own life is also a kind of exercise for your own control ability.
Brann's thinking was a little divergent, but he still remembered the elder's face for the first time.
There is no shortage of strong people in any race, and the Crocodile tribe is no exception. Among this group of elders, he has noticed five or six powerful auras, but most of them are deliberately restrained, and there are too many people. If the other party does not attract his attention,
, it’s really hard to tell.
"That's easy to say. The Andis Mountains are the territory you control. Who knows what evil intentions you are harboring." The person who spoke was still the control-level warlock elder. After revealing his strength, he made no attempt to hide it.
"This elder is overly worried. You can choose to go as a representative, and I can stay here as a hostage and wait for the results to come out." Brann replied with a smile, "This is a major matter related to the survival of your race. You
Aren’t you willing to take even this little risk? If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Brann's words caused the elders of the Crocodile tribe to whisper among themselves.
"This incident does not seem to be entirely a bad thing. At least it allows us to find the cause of environmental changes. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, only by finding the symptoms can we find more appropriate solutions."
"For the sake of our ethnic group, this risk must be taken. This is our responsibility as elders. If we are determined to go, count me in. I want to see how big the background of this leader of the Yongye Army is. He is so big.
Tone, if it is really their trap, I am eighty-three years old this year, which is not considered an early death. I just hope that you can see that I am taking risks for the entire crocodile tribe and take care of my useless descendants. I don’t expect
They last forever, at least I am not walking on the front foot and someone eats the back foot."
"Don't worry, brother, no matter how greedy we are, we still have a bottom line. If we all do such dirty things as to undermine others behind our backs, who will be willing to stand up for us Crocodile tribe members? At that time, we are really not far away from annihilation.
Well, count me in when the time comes."
"Count me in too."
Compared with the last time, the Council of Elders quickly reached a consensus and decided to send several elders to the Yongye Army Leader to find out what was going on.
However, the real reason that prompted them to make this decision was the disaster caused by the changes in the world in the Swamp of Despair, not Bran's request for them to join the Eternal Night Army.
Until now, I am afraid that no elder has considered this issue. After all, most people have not yet formed a concept of the Yongye Army Leader.
A force whose size they don't even know is asking them to join as a whole. If they dare to nod, then they are really out of their minds.
Not only Bran was prepared for this, but the Yongye Army Leader was also prepared. The invitation to the Crocodile Tribe people to the Yongye Army Leader was not only to verify the authenticity of what he said, but also to allow the Yongye Army Leader to show himself.
.
The elders of the Crocodile tribe are very enlightened, and more than one-third of them went to the Yongye Army out of their own free will.
However, it was obviously unrealistic for so many people to go at the same time. After another round of selection and selection, ten highly respected elders were selected to go on behalf of the Crocodile tribe.
Just when the Elders' Council was finalizing, Weber, the convener of the Elders' Council, said: "Add me as an extra."
"Father!" Before anyone else could raise any questions, Wyande screamed out in surprise.
After all, he has brought back accurate information. There is no need for his father to take this risk. Doesn't his father believe the news brought back by his own son?
"Some things have to be seen with your own eyes. After all, every decision I make is responsible for my people." Weber said something else, "You have grown up and should shoulder the responsibilities you need."
If I cannot come back, you will be the new leader of Lothander."
"Father." The connotation of this sound was completely different from the previous one. Others did not understand Weber's words, but Wyande did.
The other elders mainly wanted to confirm the root cause of this sudden change in the world, but his father wanted to see the situation of the Yongye Army Leader. After all, whether he was a friend or an enemy, if he fully understood the other party, he would never make a mistake.
The elders' meeting in the middle of the meeting could only be stopped midway, and could not continue until the seven-day trip of the eleven elders to the Yongye Army Leader was over.
However, these eleven elders did not set off immediately. Instead, they took a fast boat back to their own tribe to arrange their own funeral arrangements. They were treating the trip to the Yongye Army Leader as a death-defying journey.
Although their tribe didn't pay attention to it, they were all fully armed and followed them back to Losander.
A week and a half later, when the eleven elders of the Crocodile tribe boarded the ship to lead the Eternal Night Army, thousands of warships had already gathered on the Donau River.
The warships of the Crocodile Tribe are generally relatively small, with the largest being no more than ten meters and can only carry twenty warriors, while the smaller ones can only carry seven or eight.
Not only to adapt to the complex water environment of the Despair Swamp, but also because the trees in the Despair Swamp are not short of water, grow quickly, and have soft wood, so they cannot be used as large boats.
Coupled with the hundreds of warships from Losander, the mighty army numbered nearly 30,000. Following these eleven elders, they sailed upstream and pressed against the Andis Mountains, forming a display of the Eternal Night Army.
If the leader dared to embarrass their elders, they would rush straight into the Andis Inland Lake.
But when they arrived at the source of the Danube River, they were a little dumbfounded.
What was in front of them was a natural danger - a thin line of sky above the river.
On both sides of the Donau River are towering mountains, as if someone had cut it with a knife, forming a waterway that is only forty to fifty meters wide but four to five kilometers deep. No matter how many boats there are,
It's impossible to break in in an instant.
What's more, at the entrance of the dangerous valley, there is already a huge ship with a unique shape blocking it. It is the Panshi led by the Yongye Army.
Compared with this behemoth, which is three or four stories high and tens of meters long, the Crocodile Tribe's warship is just a child's toy.
The situation at the source of the Donau River is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
In normal times, the Donau River's water becomes more and more violent as you go up the river, especially in the last ten kilometers or so. It's like a gushing water. The water situation is very complicated. No crocodile tribesman can go up the river and reach here.
Those rivers gush out from inland lakes with a capacity of 100 million tons, and the water pressure is not high. Without this unique topography, Despair Swamp would not be Despair Swamp, but an out-and-out Zeguo.
In fact, when they got here, the eleven elders of the Crocodile tribe had already believed three to four points, but they were already at the end of the field and could not give in.
What's more, there are many smart people here, who have the same thoughts as Weber and want to take the opportunity to explore the background of Yongye Army Leader.
"Every guest is here, why don't you move to our boat, the scenery here is more unique." A tall young man appeared on the bow of the building and said in fluent Guandis, "Forgot to introduce myself,
I am now Sean Don Agustin, the lord of this mountain."
"Are you the ruler of the Yongye Army?" Weber was stunned, not only because of the other party's youth, but also because of the other party's boldness, daring to come in person, a chill flashed in his eyes, if he could take the opportunity to capture him.
