Chapter 505: The Orc King's Mountain-Breaking Attack
Winter is coming, and the temperature this year is particularly low. Not only has Ryan suffered a large-scale snowstorm disaster, but even Emerald Dream and Silvermoon Highgarden, two kingdoms where it rarely snow, have experienced blizzards.
However, in this age where magic is prevalent, the snowstorm alone will not cause much impact.
As long as the kingdom's upper echelons are willing to spare no effort in disaster relief, all they have to do is send a large number of magicians and priests to cast spells everywhere.
Problems such as lifting the blockade, rescuing the distressed, and transporting food can be easily solved in a kingdom with a sufficient number of spellcasters.
Ryan was well-known for being kind to the people, so when the snowstorm came, the priests of light came out in unison and quickly alleviated the disaster that had just emerged.
There is no need to worry about the druids and elves, as the ratio of their spellcasters is even higher than that of Lion.
Only the Dwarf Kingdom declared a state of emergency. They had just migrated from the desert and were running out of food. However, the Alchemy Association helped Amber perform two plays and got a lot of benefits from the Druids.
Of course, druids don't have much gold, so they use food to pay off their debts.
When the food from Emerald Dream Forest was delivered, the winter crisis of the Dwarf Kingdom was alleviated.
The Dwarf King praised Ambershu in the palace, saying that this lich really had a plan in mind and had even calculated the food shortage in the Dwarf Kingdom. He used the druids' food to solve the problem, which would make them grateful.
Llane, the elves, dwarves and druids were able to survive the winter smoothly, but the orcs had some big problems.
Originally, the orcs' mountainous regions did not enter winter so early, three or four months later than Ryan. But this year was too strange, the temperature dropped at the same speed across the continent, and the orcs' mountains also entered winter, and the disaster was more serious than other kingdoms.
Because the Orc Kingdom is now aggressive and all its strength is focused on border wars, the elderly, the weak, women and children at home cannot withstand the cold.
A large number of elderly people and young children died due to low temperatures and lack of food.
In the entire orc kingdom, only their capital city was able to maintain adequate food and clothing. The endless thunder in the sky was transformed into magic power to provide heating for the entire city. Although food was a little scarce, the nobles in the capital city would not suffer from hunger.
The Orc King did not even look at the disaster reports submitted to him. Recently, he only did one thing every day, which was to swing the two-handed axe called "Red Wedding".
On the surface, the people of Ryan spent a huge price to buy this two-handed axe, but they did not know that this artifact was actually a pair.
From the outset, the Red Wedding was a hatchet job.
It looks like a huge two-handed axe, but in fact it is just a pair of axes to the Orc King, because he is naturally much taller and stronger than ordinary orcs.
In the blizzard, the Orc King wielded his giant axe with one hand and chopped at the mountain in front of him with all his strength.
The axe chopped in the wind and snow, and did not touch the mountain, but it seemed to have chopped on something solid. The axe stopped in mid-air, and a scarlet light condensed on the axe.
One axe, two axes... The Orc King swung the axe in his hand frantically, and each time he hit the air, but he tried his best every time.
Until the red light from the axe was able to pierce through the wind and snow, illuminating the surroundings in a blood-red color.
At this time, the Orc King turned into a shadow and pounced towards the mountain in front of him. This time he smashed the mountain heavily with his axe.
A blazing red light burst out at this moment, and a powerful impact force exploded directly in front of him.
With a loud bang, a huge crack appeared on the mountain that was taller than the city wall. The mountain began to shake and then collapsed rapidly.
Tons of tonnes of rock fell, making a muffled sound louder than thunder in the valley. The continuous impact caused the strong wind and blizzard to change direction.
The Orc King carefully examined the axe in his hand, and when he confirmed that the blade was intact, he burst into laughter.
"As expected of a divine weapon blessed by Talos, finally a weapon that can withstand my power! I will use this axe to chop off the head of Emperor Ryan!"
The wind was howling and the snow was raging, but they could not hide the majestic figure of the Orc King.
"Your Majesty, with this artifact, you will definitely be able to kill Emperor Ryan. This time, our Orc Kingdom will surely achieve unparalleled feats!"
The octopus-headed mind flayer standing nearby also clapped vigorously, even though the icy weather was an unbearable torture for the mind flayer.
The orc king gently wiped the axe blade and asked without looking up: "What's the latest news?"
"Your Majesty, the seven southwestern peaks have sent another letter asking for help due to insufficient food. Half of the cableways have been cut off due to heavy snow..."
Urbano Pacheco was about to report when he was rudely interrupted by the Orc King, who said, "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking about the news from the lich. There was always someone starving to death in the winter. Do you need to tell me about this?!"
Urbano Pacheco was helpless. The orc king did not like to reason. His identity was too embarrassing. If he was abandoned by the orc king, he would be dead. So Urbano Pacheco was a "die-hard" of the orc king. No matter whether his majesty was a tyrant or not, Urbano Pacheco could only stand firmly by his side, even if it meant being a flattering treacherous minister.
"Our lich allies have sent good news. The wedding process has been arranged to ensure that Your Majesty will have the opportunity to challenge Emperor Ryan to a duel. However, he has sent a reminder again. The power of the dragon armed forces is more terrifying than anyone can imagine. I hope you can be prepared. If necessary, I'm afraid..."
Urbano Pacheco hesitated for a moment, and the orc king asked impatiently, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid we need to unite with others to defeat Emperor Ryan. I hope your majesty can cooperate with the warriors of other kingdoms."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As soon as Urbano Pacheco finished his words, the Orc King roared, "Do I need to join forces with others? Just to rely on that loser Ryan who got beaten to a pulp by the Githyanki?!"
Urbano Pacheco sighed in his heart. The Orc King was really an idiot. He could do nothing except have big fists.
But there is no way, for the orcs, the bigger fist is the truth.
The fist of the contemporary orc king is so huge that it is difficult to find a weapon suitable for him in the whole country.
The Orc King's legendary talent allows him to accumulate every attack he makes in the air, and then unleash it all at once after hitting the target. In theory, as long as the weapon can withstand it, the Orc King can stack it infinitely until he can kill a god with one axe.
In the past, even the strongest weapons of the Orc Kingdom could not withstand the power of his five superpositions, and the mace made of pure steel would break. The Orc Kingdom was not very good at forging magic weapons, so the Orc King could not exert his full power for so many years.
The orc king always felt that he couldn't beat the Silver Moon Knight because he couldn't find a suitable weapon, otherwise he wouldn't be afraid of the dying old man. After getting this artifact axe, he felt that the Silver Moon Knight died too early, otherwise he would have chopped off the old man's head on the battlefield.
Facing Emperor Ryan who had disgraced himself on the battlefield, the Orc King did not take him seriously at all.
But Urbano Pacheco knew very well that the Emperor Llane was definitely not an ordinary person, as he could make the lich prepare as if facing a great enemy. The Orc King was so careless that something bad might happen easily.
Urbano Pacheco could not refute the hot-tempered king, so he could only say tactfully: "Your Majesty, your bravery is unmatched in the world, but if the Lion people do not abide by martial ethics and take those legendary paladins with them, it will be difficult for you to kill all the paladins before they escape. Therefore, allies are necessary. You can't just watch the Lion Emperor escape."
The orc king thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so he said to Urbano Pacheco: "Then go tell the lich that if Emperor Ryan is too scared to fight me one-on-one, I don't mind cooperating with others, but remember to remind those idiots not to get in my way."
"Of course, I will remind him."
Urbano Pacheco breathed a sigh of relief, but what he was thinking in his heart was, if the Orc King died in battle, should he surrender to Ryan or prepare a way to escape and live in seclusion in advance?
It's better to be cautious. The Mind Flayer Empire is gone, and preparing for the worst in advance is the motto of their race.
Urbano Pacheco looked up at the snowy sky and couldn't help thinking: Master Ultraman, I hope you are really fully prepared. If you fail, too many people will be implicated this time.
