Chapter 268 The King of Ten Thousand Axes

Elrond 6B, 2nd ll.

【Judgment of the Throne of Bones】mission countdown: 142 days.

Several heavy snowfalls brought the territory of Efta completely into winter, but at the same time, seven hundred miles to the west... After crossing the endless Nehemia prairie, the kingdom of orcs still seems to maintain the dryness and joy of early autumn. cool.

Affected by the grassland climate, there is almost no rain in the Beastman Kingdom in winter, and the temperature will not drop below zero, but it will be a bit chilly when night comes. Even if the bright starry sky is displayed above the head, the orcs who are used to it can only curse the weather, and then wrap up tightly in the smelly sheepskin clothes.

Chief Rohar was no exception, at this time he was sitting in his tent, after hanging the wide wolf fur shawl around his neck, he asked in a bad tone: "Greish's tribe really did this? "

Standing in front of him was the witch doctor Busar. Since Sarota's death, Busar has become Rohar's first deputy, so no matter how big or small, the chief will consult with him.

"It's not just Greish who is a little dissatisfied, it seems that the Bloodhoof tribe on the other side... has some conspiracy brewing again, but their people are not as strong as our tribe's warriors, so it's not worth worrying about."

The witch doctor Busar is considered the best of his kind. He is a master of "restoration" witchcraft, because he always pulls wounded soldiers back from the death line. He has always been popular among the tribal witch doctors. In the second month after Sarota's disappearance, he became Chief Rohar's most trusted deputy, and thus lived a life of "power and power"—eating whatever he wanted, and having sex with any woman he wanted .

Of course, let's not mention how terrible the existence of such a heavy taste of female orcs is, but Bussar's "favor" is obvious to all. Just like at this time, Rohar believed his words completely, nodded without any doubt and said: "I just like this result, they provoke if they want to provoke, who in the winter is willing to go out and fight hard? I really don't know What do these guys think..."

"Our wolf cavalry is always the strongest, those humble guys are not worth mentioning"

Bussar's naked flattery has no technical content, but it still makes Rohar laugh out loud. His big yellow teeth have bad breath, and his image is unbearable.

"Wait until next spring, I will smash these provocative guys one by one, let them become the next Bloodspear tribe"

With a bloodthirsty gleam in Rohar's eyes, he made this "battle plan" with pride.

Obviously, the "Blood Spear" tribe that once clashed with the "Rohal's Hammer" tribe has become dust in history—and recalling the battle a few months ago, Rohar remembered a figure who made a lot of contributions Come

"Busar, that apprentice of Sarota...where did he go?"

The chief's question made the corner of Busar's mouth twitch slightly. He tried to calm down and replied in a low voice: "Sauron seems to have something to do recently, and he took his people to the west, which seems to be the Gondola Mountains, maybe to collect herbs. let's go..."

"Collecting herbs? What can be collected in this season?"

"Some precious herbs are only available in winter..." Busar lied very poorly, swallowing nervously.

After hearing this, Rohar didn't have any doubts, and talked about other places in a few words, so that Bussar could rest assured

Speaking of it, Sauron did go to the Gondola Mountains, but he went to that kind of place where no shit, not because he wanted to collect herbs, but because he was "squeezed out" by Busar and several witch doctors.

In the previous battle to destroy the "Blood Spear" tribe, Sauron, the future "King of the Thousand Axes", led the remnants of Sarota to fight bravely, and soon made great contributions and became the greatest contributor to defeating the enemy. However, the tree is big, and Rohar's "appreciation" for him immediately made those witch doctors who had just seen the opportunity to be in the top position stand on the same front...

This is also where Sauron is immature. At this time, his foundation is unstable and he should be hiding his clumsiness. However, in order to make meritorious deeds, he accidentally became the focus, which directly led to open shots and hidden arrows.

Just as the great war had just ended, Sauron's army could not resist the attack from within. In the end, they had no choice but to back off, away from the core of the tribe, and completely cut off from the "inner circle" of the chief...

Chief Rohar has been kept in the dark so far, and other witch doctors are happy to hear about it, wishing that Sauron would freeze to death in this ravine.

But they didn't expect that such behavior would provide Sauron with a rare opportunity.

At this moment, at the foot of the Gondola Mountains, which is more than a hundred miles away from the chief's tent, the young witch doctor in a fur cloak is cozying up to the fire, sitting in a simple wooden house with his eyes closed. .

The young "King of the Thousand Axes" is strong and well-proportioned, with long black hair braided, a huge battle ax beside him, and a few pages of sandpaper and a map in front of him. The orcs outside the house are building a new house in the cold wind - after they came to the forest at the foot of Gondola Mountain, they no longer used tents as their residence, but collectively began to build a house with wooden walls and high sentry posts. "village"

Some wolf cavalry entered the stockade from the outside, and then came to Sauron in a hurry. The other party respectfully knelt down on one knee to report the situation. After hearing this, Sauron nodded in satisfaction. He opened his eyes slightly after the wolf cavalry retreated...

"Did you really think that by driving me here... you guys would be able to sit in your seats with peace of mind?"

Sauron's fingers touched the double-edged battle ax beside him, and his cold tone was cruel: "Teacher's last wish, if you don't fulfill it, then I will fulfill it for him. Who will stop me..."

"There is a price to pay"

Turning his gaze to the rough sandpaper map in front of him, Sauron's focus rested on a sentry sign only 20 kilometers away from the village. He shook his head and sighed softly: "Heh... vigilant human beings will always Vulnerable as a rabbit."

"Do you really think that such a small sentry post can stop me?"

"hiss--"

Rody took a breath of cool air, feeling the scorching power spread from the rune on his arm to his whole body

The muscles of the body were tense, and the sharp pain suddenly appeared and then subsided. A few seconds later, Luo Di raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, but he frowned and thought about the route when the pain just went through his whole body.

Is this the power that really belongs to you...

In reality, Rody, as a "modern person", finds it difficult to accept the "power" running around in his body. When using skills, he only feels it slightly, but this time the rune is inlaid, However, he clearly felt the division of this "power" in his body——

They are like blood, ubiquitous, yet unpredictable.

Rody thought about it carefully for a long time, and found that he couldn't think of such a power at all, so he diverted his attention, looked down at the expensive and exquisite rune crystal in his hand, took a short rest, and put the second and third Pressed towards his arm.

"Bah—"

The translucent rune was only as big as a fingernail, and the moment it touched the body, it melted Roddy's skin like a branding iron-this was really "melting", and that's why Roddy was sweating in pain.

However, the rune itself would be like melting ice, completely disappearing on the surface of the arm's skin within a few seconds, leaving only the burnt rune-shaped scar.

The reason for using three runes is that Rody can only inlay the three skills of "Concealment", "Concentration Shot", and "Leap" at present, and the effect of these runes is basically the same: reduce the cooling time of the skill itself.

The cooling time of "Concealment" has been reduced from 1 minute to 45 seconds, "Concentration Shot" has been reduced from 1 minute to 3 seconds, and the "Prance" has been reduced from 15 seconds to 2 seconds. Although there is not much change in the literal sense, but for For Rody, such an improvement means that his survivability and lethality have increased by at least 20%.

Flipping through the panel, confirming that the rune had successfully worked, Rody silently picked up the bandage, enduring the severe pain of the burn and wrapping it up.

It has been five days since he came to the Duke's Mansion. During this time, he has been promoted to a level, and he also bought the runes he needed at the hidden "runes for sale" shop in the city. In the rest of the time, he worked hard on making the leather armor with the help of Su Lun, and at the same time made judgments and decisions with Angmar and Benjamin on the continuously collected information every day.

It was a bit busy at first, but today, Roddy seemed to be much more relaxed.

For Rody's outstanding contribution to killing Ansardin and others, the Duke of Angmar didn't hesitate to reward him. If Rody didn't want the land, Angmar could only "discount it" and gave him a lot of weapons, armor, and horses. and food.

Such a sum of wealth is definitely more practical than gold coins, and Rody accepted it with a frank smile... In fact, both of them understand that now that they have boarded the same chariot, the so-called "reward" already has a kind of "mutual help" The meaning is inside.

It sounds absurd to let a duke and Luo Di to "watch and help each other", but what is even more absurd is that the last personnel transfer to the monastery before Bishop Benjamin's promotion was to transfer two priests The name of "Going out to practice" was directly allocated to Roddy

These two priests have been with Benjamin for many years, and their strength has reached the advanced level 2 level. If the original promotion schedule is followed, they may have to stay in the monastery for ten to fifteen years before they can see the hope of becoming a "bishop"... Therefore, for the two priests, following a "new rich" and mixing in the monastery The days didn't seem to be much different, so they all obediently obeyed the order, came to the Duke's mansion, and became Luo Di's new subordinates.

"It's a good thing to have three advanced healers together... Ansardin also has a batch of high-quality ore, which can be reserved for high-level equipment. The problem of manpower—"

Sitting in front of the desk, Rody shook his aching arm, picked up a pen and drew a circle on the parchment paper, and after confirming the next expansion plan of the military source, he opened the [task bar] and faced the [Judgment of the Bone Throne] The words "Mission countdown: 142 days" sigh slightly...

"Where do I need to find clues for this mission?"
