Chapter 457 The Mysterious Moldo People
There was a fierce battle here!
Shu Li was the first to rush into the outpost gate. He saw corpses everywhere, including winged people and orcs. All the buildings had collapsed, the ground was bumpy, and there were traces of magic and violent destruction everywhere.
Nasha gasped and covered her mouth in shock.
It was obvious that this outpost had been attacked by orcs. Judging from the corpses on the ground, the Winged People suffered heavy casualties.
how so?
As expected, the Orcs sent a large army into the Saint Nia Mountains and launched a brutal war against the Winged People.
Morrissey was also surprised.
Over the past ten thousand years, although there had been constant friction between the Orcs and the Winged People, there had never been such a large-scale battle. Moreover, judging from the traces on the battlefield, the number of Orcs far exceeded that of the Winged People, so the Winged People could not resist and were completely wiped out.
Kumandi squatted before a Winged Man corpse, examining it carefully. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Judging from the corpse's state of death, the battle took place between one and two in the morning."
"It's a night raid!" Dizio gritted his teeth, "The orcs are so shameless!"
One or two o'clock in the morning is the most tiring time, and most people have fallen asleep. It is simply despicable and shameless for the orcs to launch a night attack.
Farm left Shuli's shoulder and flapped his bat wings to wander around.
The Elf King stood in front of a headless statue, silent.
Shu Li noticed something was wrong with him, walked over, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
The Elf King said, "It's a statue of the God of Light."
Shu Li looked at the statue's clothes and symbols in amazement. It was indeed a statue of the God of Light.
When the orcs attacked the Winged People's outpost, they even spared the statue of the God of Light.
Where's the statue's head?
Shu Li searched the area around and found a pile of stones five meters away from the statue. It was the head of the statue of the God of Light, which had been shattered into pieces by violence.
This is intolerable!
“That’s too much!”
This is an insult to the God of Light.
Seeing this, the other goblins clenched their fists in anger.
"Don't let me find them, otherwise - I will kill them all!" Budno waved his fist excitedly.
Sadler surveyed the area and came to the statue. He said in a deep voice, "The orcs destroyed the wall behind the outpost."
There must be winged people guarding the gate of the outpost at night, and the defense on the back is relatively weak, which becomes a breakthrough point for the orcs' night attacks.
Morrissey stroked his chin puzzledly and said, "Strange, how did the orcs become smarter?"
The simple-minded orcs actually learned to use tactics.
Angel asked thoughtfully, "Could it be... that he received guidance from an expert?"
Hector nodded: "Very likely."
They had dealt with the Winged People in the Snow Mountain Maze. Although the Winged People were a bit talkative, they acted cautiously, were very vigilant, and hated all dark races.
Upon discovering that there were dark elves in the Light Team, the Winged Man earnestly advised them to stay away from Morrissey.
If the orcs did not receive guidance from an expert, they would never be able to break through the Winged People's outpost.
Shu Li felt heavy-hearted, feeling that the Winged People were doomed this time.
In the previous seven reincarnations, the Winged People also suffered persecution from the God of Darkness, but they had never fought such a brutal war with the Orcs.
Winged people have extremely high talent for light magic and are naturally able to restrain dark creatures. The wings behind them are as white as snow. The higher the level, the more wings they have. A six-winged person is equivalent to a god of magic.
In Shu Li's eyes, the winged people are angels.
The fighting power of angels should not be underestimated. They are highly maneuverable and can fight both on the ground and in the air. If they cannot defeat their opponent, they can just flap their wings and escape quickly.
At the outpost in front of him, even the four-winged people had their heads and bodies separated, and there was even a five-winged person in the pile of corpses.
Even a five-winged person at the level of a mage saint couldn't escape?
He expanded his perception and roughly counted them, and found that among the more than 500 winged people's corpses, there were some with three or four wings.
There were only a hundred orc corpses, and most of them were low-level orcs.
how so?
"bite--"
A shrill sound suddenly reached Shu Li's ears. He quickly looked up and saw a black bell hooked on Farm's claws, flying slowly towards him.
"What is this?" Shu Li asked in confusion.
Farm's claws loosened, and the bell fell, about to fall into Shu Li's open palm, when the Elf King suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
"Don't touch it, it's cursed." He warned, and a light breeze came out from his fingertips, holding the bell and suspending it in the air.
When Shu Li heard the word "curse", he quickly put his hands behind his back and took two big steps back.
"Fris, be careful too," he said worriedly. Although the Elf King was powerful and fearless of curses, it was still better to be cautious, just in case.
Farm rubbed his paws. "Why don't I feel anything?"
It was scratching for a while just now, and everything is fine!
The Elf King said: "This curse is ineffective against monsters."
Farm stuck out his forked tongue, folded his wings, and landed on Shu Li's shoulder.
"Where did you find this?" Shu Li asked.
Farm raised his short, fat paw and pointed: "There's a human corpse under the ruins over there."
"What? Human!"
Everyone was shocked.
How could humans get involved in the war between orcs and winged people?
Shu Li immediately walked to the ruins and cast a spell to move the stones on the ruins. After a while, a human corpse wearing black clothes was revealed underneath.
The Elf King frowned and said, "He's not a necromancer."
The clothes on the corpse are not the magical robes exclusive to necromancers.
Morrissey approached boldly. Sadler pursed his lips, stood beside him, and clenched the magic wand in his hand.
The corpse was wearing cool clothes, and exquisite silver ornaments were worn on his neck, arms and ankles. He was half-lying in the ruins with a ferocious expression and his wide-open eyes filled with fear. It was obvious that he died suddenly and had no time to react.
Farm spread his wings, flew over the corpse, and pointed at his right hand. "The bell fell on his right hand."
As it circled the outpost, it sensed a strange force, so it crawled under the huge rocks in the ruins and found the corpse and the bell.
The Elf King held the bell with the wind and examined the silver patterns on the corpse. He murmured, "He is a Moldovan."
Others were surprised: "Moldo?"
Hector and Nasha were confused and very unfamiliar with the Moldo people.
The little goblin has learned many languages since childhood and has some impression of the Moldovan people.
This is a small eastern tribe located northwest of the Serex Empire, close to the Besaishi grasslands.
The Moldovans are a very xenophobic tribe. They rarely intermarry with outsiders and believe in neither the god of light nor the god of darkness.
They worshipped the moon goddess Metterela.
On every full-moon night, they hold rituals and offer sacrifices to the moon god.
At the same time, the priests held coming-of-age ceremonies for the girls and boys who had reached adulthood.
The Moldo people are born with the power to curse, and their saints can even communicate with gods.
There are very few legends about the Moldovans on the continent. Even bards do not sing their poems. If it were not for the many ancient books of elves and goblins that left behind a few words, no one would know of their existence.
Austin is a vast continent with a long history, and too many ancient nations have been submerged in the torrent of time.
"Since the Moldos are so mysterious, why are they here?" Hector asked the others.
"Yeah, why?" Shu Li murmured.
In the first seven reincarnations, there was no trace of the Moldo people at all!
Angel said, "Regardless of why he's here, I want to know... which side does he belong to? The Winged People or the Orcs?"
Amanda high-fived. "Yeah!"
Helping the Winged People is okay, but helping the Orcs is bad.
Morrissey raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly, "Clearly they are colluding with the orcs."
Dixio asked, "How can you be sure?"
Morrissey said, "He has scars from light magic."
As a former dark creature, it is very sensitive to light magic.
The others took a closer look and suddenly understood.
Shu Li frowned and said, "So... he is the 'expert' who guides the orcs!"
As human beings, the Moldos actually joined the dark forces and aided and abetted their evil deeds.
"It's not just him." Morrissey said coldly, "There must be a group of people from the Moldo tribe coming."
Budno asked in confusion, "Why would the Moldos want to form an alliance with the orcs?"
Sadler said: "Benefits."
Only interests can drive people's hearts.
Human beings are a contradiction, between light and darkness. Most people are inclined towards light, while a small number of people are greedy and evil and associate with darkness.
Nasha said anxiously, "Let's go to the Winged People's residence!"
When she learned that the Moldos were cooperating with the Orcs, she became even more worried about Siti.
A ball of black mist suddenly emerged from the Elf King's hand and wrapped around the bell floating in the air.
"bite--"
The bell made a shrill sound, suddenly disintegrated, and emitted a green light, rushing towards the sky with a "whoosh".
"Ah? What is this?" Discio opened his mouth in surprise.
Everyone watched the green light disappear into the woods.
The Elf King said, "Follow its flight path and you'll find the other Moldos."
"What are we waiting for? Let's give chase!" Shu Li cheered up, "Farm! Go—"
Farmu helplessly grew in size.
"Bang--"
A giant monster over 150 meters long and more than ten meters high suddenly appeared.
Shu Li retreated continuously, sweating profusely. "No way? How did your original form become so big?"
Not only did it grow bigger, it also became more majestic and powerful, with its body covered with hard scales like armor.
"Is he handsome?" The giant monster turned its head and moved closer to Shu Li, making Shu Li look as pretty as a little bird.
"It's handsome... but can it be smaller?" Shu Li asked.
Such a large size is not conducive to flying in the mountains and forests.
Farm blew out two puffs of air from his big nostrils, making Shu Li's hair and clothes messy. Veins popped out on his forehead and he had the urge to beat up the monster.
Amanda whispered, "How about... I transform into a dragon?"
When Farm heard that the little dragon was competing with it for the job, it immediately reduced its size, from over 150 meters in length to 15 or 16 meters.
That's it, big enough.
Without hesitation, everyone jumped onto its back.
Shu Li slapped its neck and pointed in the direction where the green light disappeared and shouted: "Charge——"
Farm spread his giant bat wings, took off from the ground, and flew north.
With the Elf King acting as a guide, they soon discovered the flight path of the green light. Farm transformed into a red light and chased after it.
Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at a dense forest and Farm slowed down.
"Look! There's smoke!"
Discio pointed at the billowing smoke rising from the dense forest.
As they got closer, they heard magical explosions and the deafening roars of orcs.
A fierce battle is going on in the dense forest.
Shu Li yelled: "Farm, go over there quickly——"
Farm flapped his wings, turned into a flash of lightning, and rushed into the dense forest.
In the dense forest, tens of thousands of orcs were frantically attacking a mountain stronghold. Humans dressed in Moldovan tribal costumes, holding various weapons in their hands, stood on the backs of the beast-like orcs and gave orders in an orderly manner.
In the mountain stronghold, the Yi people fought bloody battles and struggled to resist the invaders.
