The rain was pouring down.

This was a rare heavy rain in the Doro Highlands. It seemed that even the world could not stand the cruel pursuit and killing. It covered everything with such a heavy rain. The Beastman King took a breath, and he looked gloomy.

Looking at the faces of his subordinates, everyone looked depressed, full of despair and sadness. It was completely unimaginable that not long ago, these soldiers who were following him had expressions full of hope.

Smiling, with the expectation of return and the yearning for a better future. At that time, they thought they could easily defeat the enemy, regain what originally belonged to them, and regain the status they deserved. But they did not expect that it would only take so short time.

The time and high morale at the time of departure have all disappeared, and all that remains is deep despair.

Damn it, what should I do now?

Looking at these zombie-like subordinates in front of him, the Orc King secretly spat. He didn't know whether the werewolf leader and the Giant Queen didn't consider it at all, or deliberately didn't tell him about this difficult problem. Although the sudden heavy rain did give him a

It gave them time to breathe, but the ensuing low morale was something the Orc King never thought of. It's no wonder that before that, all they could think about was how to escape from the attack of the dragon army, so

They were not in the mood to care about anything else. But now, when they finally had time to stop and take a breath, everyone realized a problem.

They were defeated.

Why did it become like this... The high-spirited first battle should have been a victory. Full of joy of return. Full of excitement of revenge. The superposition of these two joys should have brought them more happiness.

What I got was supposed to be the happiness that my long-held dream came true, but...why did it become like this?

No one knows why this is. Even the Beastman King is the same. In fact, he has nowhere to vent his anger. According to the intelligence, humans have never deployed such a terrifying dragon army on the border.

But they happened to arrange it, but how they arranged it, the Orc King had no clue. In fact, he believed that the werewolf leader and the Giant Queen were not much different from him. Where did the opponent's army come from, and who were they?

Who commanded them and why they were fighting. They didn't know all this. But it was no longer important to them because there was only one thing that was certain right now, and that was that they failed, retreated, and ran away.

That's all.

The Orc King, who noticed this, felt extremely angry and disappointed, which was even more ironic compared to the high-spiritedness of the previous few days. So far, they didn't even know who the enemy was. So they were defeated like this? This

If someone asks you about it in the future, how will they answer this? I don’t know? If you don’t even know who defeated you, then if word spreads about it, where will the orc family’s face be put in the future?

"Your Majesty..."

At this moment, an old orc man wearing an animal skin robe came over tremblingly, holding a long staff. Seeing his appearance, the orc king showed an expression of displeasure for a moment, but he did not

He didn't say much. Because this old orc man's status in the orc clan was not low. He was the chief high priest of the orc clan.

Like humans, barbarians also have spellcasters, and the high priest in front of them is exactly the same. It's just different from humans who separate priests and mages. In the world of barbarians, most priests also serve as mages. Because they basically believe in

They are all demon gods located in the lower realm, so to a certain extent, they can also be regarded as subjects of the demon clan.

Of course, compared with those cultists, the relationship between the barbarians and the demons is not very good, especially after the "catastrophe" eighty years ago, the relationship between the demons and the barbarians has become extremely tense.

At that time, in order to get rid of the enslavement of the demons, the previous orc king launched a rebellion on the occasion when he was supposed to swear allegiance to the demon king. Not only did he kill the high priest who represented the demon king's will at the time, he even killed the people sent as the demon king's representative.

Messenger. This chaos lasted for fifty years before it came to an end. Since then, the orcs have successfully escaped from the complete control of the demons and have their own independent will.

In fact, not only them, but also the werewolf clan finally got rid of the curse of blood and regained their independence and freedom.

And this is the biggest reason why they launched an attack into the hinterland of Klein Continent, not just for revenge, not just to regain their status, but also to survive. After all, Doro Highlands is located on the edge of the continent.

The order is unstable, and the demons may send armies at any time to completely eliminate these clans that dare to resist them. Therefore, the barbarians decided to leave this edge land and return to the central area of ​​the continent. This way they will be safer, and

, they will also regain what they hope to gain.

The current priest's position among the orcs is very embarrassing. On the one hand, after that battle, the orcs paid a considerable price, forcing the demons to make a choice to recognize their free will. But on the other hand, for the demons,

As far as the tribe is concerned, they are not willing to completely give up these useful coolies, so the two sides are currently in a cooperative relationship of mutual vigilance. No, it should be said that the orc king originally expected to use this battle to show the demons that they have

It is so powerful that it can achieve its goals without resorting to the power of demons.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but even a scene of embarrassment appeared in the eyes of the high priest, which made the orc king have a very bad feeling. Because of this, he stared at the high priest coldly without saying a word.

Fa. In fact, the orc king also complained about the high priest. After all, as the only spellcasting profession among the barbarians, these priests should stand up to protect them when they are attacked. If that is the case, even if

It was impossible to defeat the opponent, but at least the soldiers could protect the barbarians and escape from the gunfire.

However, they did nothing.

"What are you doing here!!"

With hatred in his heart, the orc king stared at the old priest in front of him. Looking at his purple-red eyes that were different from those of ordinary orcs, he couldn't help but feel nauseous - all those who are willing to swear allegiance to the demons must

They have to drink the blood of the demons and assimilate their bodies with the demons. In this way, they can gain incomparable power when they become demons, but on the other hand, once their bodies are transformed into demons, they will become the same as the demons.

From body to soul, he was controlled by the demons. He could not resist, nor could he resist any of the demons' thoughts. This was also the reason why the previous orc king launched a resistance. He had had enough of being the king of the orc clan, but

In the end, he would be reduced to the fate of being a puppet of the demons. He was not willing to let all his people become demons for the sake of power and become slaves of the demons. Therefore, he would rise up to resist.

"I just want to know if you need our help, Your Majesty."

The voice of the old priest was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. Even the patter of rain outside the cave could not block it. But the Beastman King who heard these words seemed to be

As if bitten by a poisonous snake, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the old priest in front of him. He knew very well that what the other person just said was not as simple as "do you need the power of our priests?" but contained a deeper meaning.

.

Come back and surrender in front of me again, then I will give you extremely powerful power. At that time, you will conquer everything and destroy everything. Come back in front of me and swear allegiance again. In this way...

…

"roll!!!"

Almost roaring from his mouth, the Orc King was able to crush the dark will emerging from those evil bright red eyes. The old priest who was repulsed by the Orc King did not say much, just deeply

Bending down.

"Please make your decision, Your Majesty. If this continues, we will only die."

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

However, what the Beastman King didn't expect was that at this moment, the soldiers beside him actually trembled and spoke.

"Please help the priests, there is no way we can make it back alive just by relying on us!!"

"Shut up!!"

Hearing what his personal guard said, the Orc King suddenly became furious. He punched the other person in the face viciously, knocking him to the ground immediately. The Orc King stood up and glared at that person.

The orc soldier was lying on the ground shivering, half of his teeth knocked out by his punch.

"What are you talking about!! It's just a failure!! When we return to the camp and regroup, we will kill them!! Those humans just took advantage of the unexpected. As long as we can regroup, then in the end

They must be the ones who failed!!! Have you all forgotten how you came here in response to my order?! Answer me!!"

"…………"

However, the roar that the Orc King expected did not appear. In front of him, the bruised orc soldiers just stood there like walking corpses, lowering their heads. They did not echo the words of their respected king as usual.

.Although they didn't say anything, the Beastman King could still see their thoughts from those blank eyes.

Attack? How to attack? The opponent is flying in the sky!

Even the Thunderbird army has failed, what can we do? Everything is over, human beings are not easily defeated. What we thought before was too naive...

No matter how we resist, we can't even touch the enemy's skin. What's the point of fighting like this?

Although no one spoke, their eyes conveyed extremely clear despair and frustration, and realizing this made the Beastman King full of incomparable anger and pain. If possible, he really wanted to

Kill all these guys who dare to shake the morale of the army, but in the end...

"Damn!!"

With the Orc King's roar, he punched the wall hard.
Chapter completed!
