Chapter 2719 Crisis
After March, one night, it was dark and windy, with no moon.
The team of orc adventurers that had been lurking for a long time finally set off and quietly rushed to the mineral deposits occupied by York City. At the same time, another group of human adventurers, wearing uniforms of the York City army, rushed to Dashai overnight. City mining area.
Two bloody battles began quietly.
Originally, the strength of the two improvised groups of adventurers was relatively low. However, due to the sudden attack and the suicidal battle, and the professional commanders in charge, the adventurers from Dasay City and York Han City were defeated as soon as the fight started. I was so confused that I really thought it was a professional army attacking.
After two fierce battles, the two teams that attacked were completely wiped out, and the resident adventurers also suffered a lot of losses.
This matter quickly spread to the ears of the two monarchs. The former orc king was old and calm, and always felt that something was fishy. However, Simmons Locke, who had just succeeded to the throne, was young and energetic, and could not swallow this breath. After confirming the annihilated enemy, After joining the Orc tribe, he was filled with rage and almost immediately concluded that it was the Orc King who ordered to embezzle the mineral deposits belonging to the city of York and Han!
So a war that should not have existed was launched.
This war directly destroyed six mineral deposits in Dashai City, and the city of York and Han was not pleased either. Four mining deposits were destroyed, and the number of adventurers lost was 20% more than that of Fort Vicky.
After the war, the two countries temporarily entered a semi-hostile state, and Carter Horton, who found the right opportunity, sent an emissary to sneak into Dashai City and meet the Orc King alone.
The emissary was not an adventurer, but the previous orc king was a powerful adventurer. The difference in strength was huge, so the orc king was also confused by the identity of the emissary and agreed to summon him alone.
The emissary entered the palace and whispered Carter Horton's entire plan. When the Orc King was shocked, he punched himself in the head, and then committed suicide by taking poison.
At this time, the Beastman King summoned the imperial doctor to save people, but it was already too late.
At the same time, Carter Horton announced the false news that the special envoy was beaten and poisoned in Dashai City, and his death was tragic, which shocked the whole people.
For a time, the Dashai City people who were doing business in Airui City closed their shops one after another, and the Dashai City residents who settled here also stayed behind closed doors.
Through this incident, Airei City instantly fell into a state of morbid fanaticism.
Carter Horton struck while the iron was hot, declared a state of readiness for war, and personally visited Simmons Locke to discuss the conquest of Darcy City.
The former orc king knew full well that he had fallen into Carter Horton's scheme, but he was unable to explain. In anger and anger, his old illness relapsed, and he died in the palace soon after.
Then the Orc King succeeded to the throne, adhering to his father's will, and while continuing to use the old ministers in the court, he did not forget to train new people, and issued orders to build city gates, build high walls, recuperate, and avoid war.
While this move gained the support of the people, it also angered many military bosses, especially the militant faction of the old Duke. This may also be the trigger for the old Duke to want to replace the Orc King.
It has to be said that the series of policies adopted by the young Orc King at that time indeed saved Dashai City from danger, and also ruined Carter Horton's plan to destroy Dashai City.
After listening to the Fairy Queen's story, I couldn't let go of it for a long time.
"It turns out that Carter Horton has always been a fox, and he gets more cunning as he gets older."
I hate it deeply.
The Fairy Queen smiled and said: "I suspect that the purpose of this team is to awaken the disaster and guide it to destroy Dashai City."
"Didn't he think about setting himself on fire?" I asked puzzled.
"The arsonist has already taken all precautions. Even if he is set on fire, he will still have a way to escape."
On the way back, the Fairy Queen's words kept echoing in my mind.
According to Carter Horton's personality, he may have already set up city defenses, and even bribed airship pilots to prepare for overseas voyages.
As for the people of Airey City
I shook my head and sighed.
I didn't tell my family this news. Firstly, other family members didn't care, and secondly, Cagalli was too concerned.
Days went on as usual, but I felt a little more awkward.
The news that Airui City's army attacked the source of the disaster was published in the newspapers three days later.
As I expected, Cagalli was extremely worried and immediately contacted her father, queen and mother to discuss whether to bring the two elders over.
The orc queen politely comforted her, and at the same time stated that once the disaster breaks through and invades the capital, she, her husband, her eldest son, her eldest daughter, and her second daughter will take an airship and fly to Moonlight City.
These words were resounding and powerful, as if they were nailed down and could not be shaken. In fact, I knew that with the temperament of the orc queen, she would probably advance and retreat with her husband, and live and die together, while the orc king, with his pure bullish temperament, would definitely stick to his country and live and die with his ancestral land. , as for the eldest son and daughter, both of them have inherited the temperament of the orc king, and they are both lords who will never retreat, but the second daughter is better. Once the city is broken, she has the best chance of survival.
Cagalli smiled happily and hung up the call. Her face was indifferent and her eyes were sad. She obviously didn't believe her parents' words, but she was powerless. She could only pray that her parents were safe and her brothers and sisters were safe.
After the meal, I took out the call crystal and contacted the foodie girl and Anna in York and Seoul. Anna was as respectful and polite as ever, and the foodie girl was as tough and rude as ever.
From the tone of voice, I knew that the two of them were fine, and I felt a little at ease. When asked about York Han City’s attitude towards the attack on the source of disaster in Airui City, the foodie girl was the first to say: "Hmm, there are a lot of adventurers recently, um, Everyone comes to the store to pray and get ready to rush to, uh, uh, border town."
I was ashamed: "Can't you just swallow what's in your mouth before talking?"
The foodie girl said confidently: "I haven't eaten all day! Hmm, have some snacks, is there any problem?"
Hold your forehead, helpless.
A single move affects the whole body.
Airicheng's move directly forced the other two countries to take emergency response measures, which is considered awesome.
But after this incident, the common war alliance established by York Han City and Ai Rui City will probably fall apart. No one will like a partner who is always looking for trouble and always causing big troubles.
A few days later, Master Dewey called me. What surprised me was that he did not publish any alarmist talk about the source of the disaster. On the contrary, he gave me a guess that was not very reliable - Carter Howe. Dayton, are biological experiments ongoing?
I curiously asked Master Dewey, why do you think so?
Master Dewey said: "Not long ago, a caravan of mine was attacked while passing through the forest of Airui City, and several people were injured. The caravan was attacked by several strange creatures. No, to be precise, they were not creatures, but They are monsters, made of carrion, half human, half dragon, and lizards that are covered in scales and look like human beings. They are not very powerful, but they have special abilities. After I came back, I read all the books about Airui City. No relevant creatures have been found, and I suspect that they are not native creatures, but man-made products."
