Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Terrifying Monsters? (I)
Translator: 549690339
In the temporary hall of Morondor, the chiefs of several large tribes gathered together. Of course, the representative of the Fire clan this time was not the chief, but the sword Saint Elder who had once trained Hoult: Grimm. Fiery Fangs.
The hall of Morondor was not as luxurious as that of Cordovia. In the end, this was still a city of the outer pass. There were still basic military halls, and the architectural style was as simple as possible under the request of old Duke Felon, the lines were also rough and bold, giving off a sense of grandeur and beauty unique to military houses.
And at this moment, sitting in the main seat of the hall was the chief of the Thunder clan: Marne. The Frost of the Earth, it was hard to imagine that the four clans would gather together. In the end, the one who was elected as the alliance chief was the chief of the Earth clan, who had never been a warmonger.
There were two reasons. One was to ease the conflict between the temporary tribal alliance. In terms of influence, the Thunder clan was the strongest, the chief of the Thunder clan, Kagar. Thunder roar was also famous for being overbearing. If the original plan to attack the humans had been decided by the orcs, with Kagar’s strength, it was very likely that he would become the leader of the alliance.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t. This battle had been initiated by the Gale tribe. The one who had taken down Molundo and established the first contribution was the gale tribe. The one who had initiated the alliance was still the Gale Tribe’s Hotell!
Under such circumstances, from the perspective of the orcs’emPhasis on glory and battle achievements, the temporary leader of the alliance should be Hotell. However, Hotell was a new chief after all, if the light overshadowed Kajal, it would easily cause a dispute between the two tribes, and it would definitely cause the Thunder tribe to be unconvinced.
Therefore, on the first day of the four tribes’meeting, Hotell immediately chose Marn as the leader of the Alliance!
It had to be said that not only was Hoult’s military ability excellent, but his political methods were also extraordinary. If he chose Kagar of the Thunder clan, his tribesmen would definitely think that he was weak and did not dare to offend the Thunder clan, and if he forcefully ascended to the throne, it was very likely to cause temporary conflicts and even lead to the collapse of the alliance.
Therefore, he chose Marn, the person with the longest seniority, as the leader of the Alliance!
Marne. Frost of the Earth was the Great Earth priest of the golden shamans of the Earth. He had once helped the people of the five tribes to tide over the disaster. He was a respected elder in the South African plains, he was so old that it could be said that his grandfather’s generation had to address him as a senior.
Although he did not have outstanding military achievements, with his prestige and experience in the southern plains, he was more than enough to be the leader.
At this time, Marn was already more than 170 years old. His huge body muscles had already begun to shrink, clearly revealing his old age. However, his aura was extremely calm, giving off the wisdom and experience of an elder, even the usually domineering kagar patiently listened to his commands.
“There’s still no news from the Empire’s main road?”Marn’s tone was slow, his tone was gentle and soothing.
“Not yet!”Hoult replied. “It seems like they’re preparing something. There’s still no movement from Cordovia. If I’m not wrong, they should be assembling the Terror Dragon Crossbow!”
“Oh? You actually know about the Terror Dragon Crossbow?”Marn smiled as she looked at Hoult. “I thought the beastmen in the south wouldn’t understand this…”
Hoult nodded respectfully and said, “I’ve been to the north. In order to understand the reason why the humans resisted our great orcs, I once led the elite Wolf Cavalry of my tribe and fought together with Chief Saltermu!”
“Chief Saltermu?”Kajal narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Hoult and said, “You actually colluded with the members of the Northern Black Stone Tribe?”
“Please pay attention to your words, Chief Kagar!”Hotell said coldly, “Fighting against the humans with your own tribe isn’t called collusion, it’s called unity! !”
“HMPH!”Kagar snorted coldly, but he didn’t refute. The other party was using great righteousness to pressure him. If he refuted, it would be a problem in the common thought of fighting against the humans, even if he was the leader of the first tribe in the South.., he couldn’t give such an excuse.
“Not bad…”Marn looked at this new generation of gale leader with admiration, he smiled slightly and said, “As the leader of a tribe, you’re willing to go to the north to understand them in order to defeat the humans. No wonder the Gale Tribe is thriving under your leadership!”
“You’re flattering me…”Hoult bowed slightly and acted like a junior.
“The Terror Dragon crossbow is indeed troublesome!”Marn continued, “Although we haven’t fought before, I heard that the weapon can kill the Tyrannosaurus knights under the northern Hammer of destruction. Although our Gardo beasts have thick phosphorescent armor, they might not be able to withstand such a lethal weapon. Do you have a way to deal with it?”
“We can only rely on surprise attacks…”Hoult said seriously, “But the humans will definitely be on guard. In this situation, we’ll be competing with the top individual combat strength of both sides!”
“HMM…”marn nodded slightly. “Then we really have to thank the fire tribe clans for coming to our aid.”
On the fire tribe’s side, a few tall and robust red orcs heard this and hammered their chests in a slight salute.
“It would be great if the Blackwater tribe could also come…”marn suddenly said, “In terms of surprise attacks, apart from your Gale Tribe’s specialty, the Blackwater tribe’s Nagas are also extremely good at fighting on complicated terrain.”
“Those sewer rats don’t have the slightest bit of orc boldness. Do you expect them to come?”Kagar sneered.
“Don’t underestimate the leader of this generation of Blackwater tribe, chief kagar.”Marn said seriously, “Vasana of this generation of Blackwater tribe is an ambitious person, and her aptitude is not low. As far as I know, she is the second Naga leader in the past thousand years, other than the fourth generation Vasana, who can reach a hundred years old but is not controlled by the blood of Madness!”
When the beasts heard the fourth generation Vasana, they all fell silent.
It was a dark era. Vasana, who had broken through the boundary, had almost ruled the entire southern plains. All the southern beasts were terrified under the brutal rule of the Blackwater tribe. If it wasn’t for a hero from the fire tribe.., after killing this monster, no one knew if the Vasana of that generation would grow into the evil god that surrounded the world in their mythology!
This was related to the strange characteristics of the Naga tribe. As long as the Nagas of the royal family of the Blackwater tribe were not accidentally killed, their lifespan seemed to be unlimited. Moreover, their body size would slowly grow along with their lifespan. However, it was rare for snakes that had lived for more than a hundred years, the reason was that the crazy blood in their bodies would often become manic and lose their rationality when they grew to a certain level, devouring all living things around them.
Usually, when such a situation occurred, the Blackwater tribe would subdue them and let the best snake-people devour the berserk royal bloodline. Therefore, generations of Vasana would almost always devour their previous generation.
In the past thousand years, the only one who could live past a hundred years old was the fourth generation Vasana. It was said that at that time, it had lived to the age of 225. Its body size was almost as big as the Blackwater River. It was extremely terrifying. Under its unparalleled strength.., at that time, almost no one in the southern plains could defeat it.
There were even people who thought that if it lost its mind one day, no one in the world could subdue it. At that time, many shaman priests even began to count down the countdown to the end of the beast race in a pessimistic manner!
If it was not for Duthar. The roar of the blazing fire appeared out of nowhere and killed that monster. It was unknown how long that dark era would last. It was said that after the first generation Vasana was killed, its blood almost filled up the Blackwater river, it caused the entire river to be dyed black by the filthy blood, turning it into a stench that was hard to resist. This was also the origin of the Blackwater River’s name!
And this generation of Vasana… . . It was said that she was already over a hundred years old!
This news actually made the people of the other tribes fearful. Although the Blackwater tribe had become a little low-key over the years, many of the Orcs had the intention of attacking them.
“I heard that you guys have been hostile towards the Blackwater tribe for a few years. Have you seen this generation’s Vasana?”Marn suddenly asked in a serious tone.
“Yes…”. Hoult also nodded seriously and said, “I’ve seen it once. That time, we found the place where the Blackwater tribe’s royal family gathered and carried out a sneak attack. That attack was very successful, but no one dared to approach that monster!”Hoult’s eyes revealed a nostalgic look as he said this, “That was the first time I saw that guy. To be honest, it was the first time I saw a monster that could grow to that size. I might even believe that she could surround a mountain. That was five years ago. She might have grown even bigger now!”
“She has grown to this extent?”Marn’s old eyes narrowed slightly. “Maybe that’s why she didn’t dare to come… … It seems that after this Molendale incident, we have to discuss how to deal with it. After all… … Not every era will have such a powerful roar of fire to save us… “But we have to be on guard at all times. I always feel that.. … … that guy doesn’t seem to be such a passive person.”
“Mm…”Hoult nodded in agreement. He thought of his subordinates who disappeared in flower town and wondered if he should send someone to investigate before the battle. “…”.
At the same time, they didn’t know that the terrifying monster they were afraid of was currently running for its life, desperately trying to escape to them to seek protection…
