Chapter 983, This Time, Test the Sword with the Orcs' Gods!

It didn't take long for the news of old Carlo's death to spread.

In the city of Tire.

After the Governor, Crowe and Rainbow Duke heard the news.

Secret deliberations began.

"It was the Baron of the Moulin Rouge who killed Carlo."

"This little baron named Efron is really lucky."

"In the previous surprise attack on Lehman City, we were lucky enough to encounter a defense that was penetrated."

"This time, they actually blocked Duke Carlo outside Lehman City again."

"This credit is enough for him to be promoted to Duke!"

The Governor of Tire City said with some envy.

"The border doesn't need two dukes!"

The Duke of Rainbow Land on the side said.

"We are enough."

"I think his title can be replaced by something else."

"And his credit can also be ours!"

Governor Tyr chuckled.

"certainly."

"I've sent someone to find Efron."

"Compared to a duke who has no territory."

"He needs Lehman City's territory and magic crystal even more."

"I promised one hundred thousand magic crystals."

"But mine isn't enough!"

As he spoke, he looked at Rainbow Duke.

"I will make up for the rest, and Lehman City can also give it to him."

"But the credit for killing Duke Carlo must be mine."

Governor Tyr tapped his fingers on the table.

"According to the previous agreement, we will support you to ascend to the throne."

"When you become king, the rainbow land will be mine."

"This is a contract."

"If it's agreed, then the deal is done."

After a quick glance, Rainbow Duke looked at the alchemist Crow beside him.

"So, Your Excellency, what do you want?"

Crowe is also a participant in the plan.

And it is an extremely important participant.

With his help, then they can get the alchemist's support.

At the same time, you can easily obtain information about the royal capital.

"I!"

"Of course it is the inheritance of all alchemists in the kingdom."

Crowe said decisively.

"good!"

"When I become the king, you will be the president of the Palace Alchemist Association."

"I will open the national collection to you."

"make a deal!"

The three of them signed their names on the contract.

The contract of the alchemy artifact turned into a ray of light and rushed in front of the three people.

A mark was branded on their arm.

Immediately it disappeared again.

This special contract mark can only be revealed when three people appear at the same time.

"Next, Your Majesty the Duke, your merits will be spread throughout the Alpha Kingdom."

"Sir Crow."

"Please return to the royal capital in advance."

"Prepare His Excellency the Duke to become a candidate for king."

Crow bowed slightly.

"I'll go right away."

Then Governor Tyr looked at Rainbow Duke.

"Your Mightiness."

"Please follow me to meet the nobles on the border."

“You need their support.”

"certainly!"

Just here in Tire City, when we were building momentum for Rainbow Duke.

now.

Fang Yuan appeared in Lehman City.

"Your Excellency."

Christian himself went out of the city to greet him.

Fang Yuan nodded slightly.

Entered Lehman City.

Christian was at his side reporting.

"Guderian has just returned."

"Our legion, except for Brainy, has no heroes in the noble territory."

Fang Yuan then asked.

"What's the latest information from Brainy?"

"have."

"The orcs have learned about the death of Duke Carlo in battle."

"The nation is now in mourning."

"At court, the orc king vows revenge."

"But no legions were raised."

"Instead, the imperial guards were mobilized to defend the royal capital."

"Convene a meeting of nobles at the same time."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

"Coming!"

"The next step is the game between the nobles and the king."

"But that's too time-consuming."

"Now it's time for Brainy to start spreading the word."

"Come to think of it, the topic of discussion among the orc nobles in the parliament is no longer the division of royal power."

"But to regroup the legions to deal with the gods of the nomadic grasslands."

"Go tell Guderian."

"Take his noble legions and move to the Eastern Front."

"Just say go find Earl Sam."

"Thank you for supporting us on the battlefield."

"Stay there."

"That side is close to the nomadic grassland of the orcs."

"Once word of the attack comes from Doug."

"Immediately mobilize the army to rush through the defense line."

"Attack the Temple of the Beast God."

"yes!"

Fang Yuan stood inside Lehman City.

Looking at the huge orc kingdom in front of me.

Fingers pressed on the nomadic grassland.

"Beast God!"

"You can live for up to five days!"

"You have to die!"

Orc Kingdom.

Blainey's bar.

"Just the latest news."

"The orc royal family has obtained our information."

"I am convinced that the temple has been working secretly to undermine the nobility."

"Attempt to make a comeback."

"This time, the king is prepared to present evidence before the Council of Nobles."

"Recruiting legions to deal with the nomadic grasslands."

"By doing this, he can divert conflicts as quickly as possible."

"The Council of Nobles will not hold him responsible for the defeat."

"Compared to defeat after all."

"The temples on the grassland are the great enemies of the nobles."

After Brainy heard it.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"This bit of information can only prevent the noble council from pushing the king too hard."

"But if we want them to concentrate their efforts on dealing with the nomadic grasslands, I'm afraid it's still not enough."

"Give them more fire."

"Qingfeng!"

"Assassinate the nobles of the Council of Nobles tonight."

"Kill a duke and seriously injure some nobles who advocate attacking the grassland."

"Hit the nobles and make them stand on the same side as the king."

"Besides Doug has gone to the border."

"Let the word spread over there."

"Just say that the nobles suffered heavy losses due to the defeat and are planning to increase taxes on the grassland!"

"Every household must be taxed at least ten times!"

"Orcs who believe in gods also have to pay a faith tax."

"yes!"

At night.

The orc capital seemed unchanged by the defeat on the front line.

The nobles still stayed up all night drinking.

Just under this bustling banquet.

Nobles from different factions began to connect with each other.

They attempted to put pressure on the king the next day.

However, some nobles suggested that they should unite now.

Deal with the Alpha Kingdom and the Temple of the Grassland.

Because of this war, both the royal family and the nobility suffered heavy losses.

On the contrary, the temple suffered very little damage.

The strength of both sides began to approach balance.

The temple in the Nomadic Steppe is very likely to be invaded in reverse.

In addition, some nobles also advocated dealing with the nomadic grasslands.

But they are not worried about the invasion of nomadic grasslands.

Instead, he wanted to plunder them to replenish his lost strength.

To know.

Although the slave labor uprising in the territory has just been put down.

But that's why.

The number of slaves in the hands of the orc nobles has been greatly reduced.

Greatly weakened their economic strength.

Without enough slaves, there would be no one to plant those plantations.

No more plantation revenue.

How can nobles raise soldiers? How can they protect their territory without soldiers?

Can't protect territory.

Can they still be called nobles?

Slave labor was a necessity for the nobility.

And having just experienced a major defeat, the orcs had no way to go to the Alpha Kingdom to plunder humans and make them slaves.

So!

The slave worker can only aim in another direction.

A nomadic tribe of orcs.

In the past, when the nobles first established the country.

It developed step by step by raiding nomadic tribes.

Now we are just repeating the deeds of our ancestors.

Therefore, the small and medium-sized nobles suffered great losses in the war.

They are all preparing to propose taxes on nomadic tribes in the Noble Council.

If they don't agree, they will fight and plunder the tribe.

And these news soon spread within the royal capital under the secret control of Brainy.

The nomadic tribe of orcs lurking in the orc capital.

Everyone was filled with indignation.

Claiming to assassinate these nobles.

It's just that their force value is not enough, and there are no heroes from the temple to participate.

It's hard for them to do it.

And just at this time.

The temple, secretly controlled by Brainy, quietly began to contact the lurking orcs.

They claimed to have brought the divine will.

Punish the arrogant nobles.

And this time the target is the Sean family.

One of the orc ducal families.

It's just that the Sean family doesn't deal with the royal family.

Belongs to local power faction.

But this time, they were unusually prepared to lobby for the use of troops against the nomadic tribes.

The Sean family estate.

This is one of the few manors in the suburbs of the royal capital that has not been exposed to military disasters.

Ever since the orcs suffered a blow from Guderian.

Many cavalry also began to be deployed around the manor.

Cavalrymen wearing elite armor patrolled on horseback in the dark night.

Behind him is the manor, a feasting and feasting place.

It was just past midnight.

The banquet has just reached its climax.

The ballroom dance that the nobles learned from the human kingdom began to enter the stage of fighting dance.

The orc nobles, wearing gorgeous clothes, danced enthusiastically on the dance floor.

And in a side hall of the manor.

Chief Xi En is contacting some nobles.

Plan to convince the king tomorrow.

Deal with nomadic tribes.

"The nomadic tribes fled during the war this time, causing us heavy losses."

"Punishment must be given."

"Tomorrow we will unite to put pressure on the king and force him to agree to deal with them."

"Don't worry, Duke, we will do it."

"Go ahead, the dance outside has started."

And after the nobles left.

Sudden!

There was fire outside the manor.

Immediately afterwards, attendants rushed in.

"Your Mightiness."

"There's an attack!"

After Sir Sean heard this, his heart trembled slightly.

"Are they the cavalry of the Alpha Kingdom?"

"No, Your Excellency."

"They claim to be worshipers of the temple."

Hearing this, Sir Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

Immediately, a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"Send orders to the legions outside to capture them."

"They will be my witnesses tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After the attendant left.

The Duke is getting ready to go to the ball.

But just as he walked out the door.

A short knife stabbed out suddenly.

Pierced the Duke's neck.

Then he made a horizontal stroke with the short knife.

Put the Duke's head on His Excellency.

It was Qingfeng who took action, after the assassination was successful.

His body disappeared into the shadows quickly.

After using a lot of magic crystals.

Qingfeng's strength has also entered the legendary level.

Although it's just the beginning.

But it's enough to complete two shadow travels.

After Duke Sean was assassinated.

Panic soon arose within the manor.

A large number of nobles fled in droves.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital.

Even the king was shocked by the news.

"What, Sean's head was cut off."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Who did it?"

"I heard it's a temple!"

Hearing this, the king's lips curved slightly.

"Oh, really?"

the next day.

The gate of the Parliament of Nobles.

A head hangs at the top.

"That's right!"

"Sir Sean."

When the nobles who came saw it, their faces showed disbelief.

"That's right, it's Mr. Sean."

"Quick, take it off."

The Council of Nobles convened.

And in the most conspicuous place, there was Sean's head and a warning.

The king himself came to the parliament.

Went to the top.

"Just now!"

"The Duke of the Kingdom has been killed."

"Not a human from the Alpha Kingdom."

"Not on the battlefield."

"But in his own manor."

"It's a shame."

"Orcs should not have assassinations, only head-on battles."

"It wasn't our orcs who killed Sean."

"It's an assassin from the nomadic steppe."

"They heard that Sean was going to lobby me to tax the grassland."

"So take action against him."

"Despicable nomadic orcs, they actually killed one of our dukes for a proposal that was impossible to pass!!!"

The voice fell.

The orc nobles in the venue roared angrily.

"Revenge, we want revenge."

"The despicable temple, their retreat killed our legions in the Red River Valley."

"Now he's actually assassinating the Duke!"

"The gods are a bunch of despicable worms. They saw that we suffered heavy losses in the war with the Alpha Kingdom."

"The Carlo family was also killed in the battle."

"It's a delusion to think that you can meddle in the nobles' territory."

"Yes, these barbaric orcs on the grassland must know to respect the nobles."

"Punish them."

"War, war against the nomadic orcs on the grassland!"

Saying that, an orc noble rushed forward.

He tore up the proposal in his hand.

"For the nobility!"

"For our territory."

"I propose war!"

The next moment, the entire parliament was filled with roars of war.

The king standing behind breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis of defeat on the front line was finally over.

But if the war against the nomadic orcs cannot be won.

Then he doesn't need to be a king anymore.

Then the king stepped forward.

"I declare."

"Assemble all Orc Praetorian Guards."

"I will personally lead the troops and start a war on the nomadic grassland!"

I heard that the king was marching in person to conquer the country.

There was roaring again in the venue.

Since then.

Civil strife began in the orc kingdom.

And at the same time.

On the nomadic steppe.

After arriving here.

Doug only did two things.

Spread false news.

He passed one orc tribe after another.

Start spreading the abominations of the orc nobles.

Spread faith in the greatness of God.

Not long.

Doug actually sneaked into the temple's regional bishop position.

And after having this identity.

A group of orcs quickly gathered around Doug.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Doug starts advocating for war.

Retake the territory that originally belonged to the nomadic orcs.

Initially, his advocacy received little support.

but!

When the news of the defeat of the Orc Kingdom came.

Doug immediately gained a huge following.

They gradually realized that maybe this was an opportunity.

only!

The temple did not issue an exact decree.

It seems to be still wavering.

But Doug quickly helped them make the decision.

Not long after, a piece of news spread like wildfire across the grassland.

The orc kingdom began to increase taxes and prepared to continue to plunder orc territory.

As soon as this news came out, the orcs began to become restless.

But the temple tried its best to suppress it.

Someone even sent someone to reprimand Doug.

But it didn't take long.

News came that the Orc Kingdom was sending troops.

In an instant.

Doug's reputation soared.

Became the archbishop followed by many orcs.

At this time, the Beast God Temple immediately fell into passivity.

The beast god did not want to start a war.

And tried to suppress it as much as possible.

At the same time, people were sent for peace talks.

But there is Doug as an insider.

The peace messenger was quickly killed.

Soon after, Doug sent people to attack Castle Deep, the territory of the orc nobles.

The two sides fought here.

Over a thousand nomadic orcs died in the battle, but Waterdeep was captured.

Killed the nobles stationed here.

Since then.

The contradiction between the two parties can no longer be bridged.

The temple was almost pushed by nomadic orcs.

Discovered suddenly.

In this era!

The gods can no longer control the believers.

The powerful temple was placed at the forefront by believers.

They had to use their elite forces to help them deal with the orc nobles.

In an instant.

The war between the orc nobles and the temple broke out violently.

"Your Excellency, Bishop."

"The latest news is that the temple failed to stop the kingdom's knights, and 30,000 people died in the battle."

"The battle lines fall back."

"This is what we got, the most likely location of the temple."

As Archbishop Doug, the number of orc warriors under his command reached 20,000.

There are hundreds of tribes under control.

These are nomadic orcs who have enmity with the orc nobles in Waterdeep City.

They have no chance of surrendering once peace is negotiated.

They must die.

So these orcs followed Doug firmly.

As for the belief in the beast god, it is no longer so firm.

Doug, who got the coordinates, looked at them.

Said casually.

"The tribe that was in the southeast."

"Let them come to us immediately!"

The orcs beside him said in surprise after hearing this.

"Sir, wouldn't that give humans a chance to come in?"

Doug glanced at the other person.

"Human?"

"Is there any?"

The orc understood this immediately.

Now they want to survive or fight the war more seriously.

But the nomadic tribe is not strong enough, and they will definitely lose if they fight later.

Or introduce knights from the Alpha Kingdom.

Sacrifice the temple in exchange for peace in the kingdom.

Under Doug's guidance, these orcs have gradually accepted the second plan.

"As you command, I'll do it right now!"

Soon the orc tribe retreated.

Guderian, who was in that direction, immediately received news from Qingfeng.

"The channel is open."

"The coordinates appear!"

Beside Guderian, thousands of elite knights set off immediately.

"Everyone."

"Last time we killed the orc Duke."

"Today we use the orc gods to test the sword."

"Mount!"

"Enter the grassland!!!" (End of this chapter)
