Chapter 650 Northern Blood Barbarians
After that, the three of them chatted for another half an hour, but there was no real progress. After all, the information they knew at the moment was too little. They could really analyze those cultists in a few words. The strategic policy is unrealistic, so after all the talk, there is no more reliable conclusion than 'stay vigilant'.
“Ah, it’s so annoying!”
Huo Yanyang scratched his hair hard and shouted, “As juniors, we don’t have to worry about this. I’ll get back to you later. Go find your mentor and let them worry about it."
Mo Tan nodded slightly: "That's all we can do now."
Yi Zou clenched his fists angrily and whispered: "If the United Alliance is willing to cooperate with Sumir sincerely, no matter how cunning the heretics are, the situation will not develop to this level. I really don't know what they are thinking. What."
What she said is not wrong. Although the number of Whispering Cultists is extremely large, their individual strength is not weak under the increase of 'Whispering', and there is also the unknown when it was built in Sumir. They built the 'Babble City' as a stronghold, but even so, its strength can only barely suppress the Holy Mountain side, and it is definitely not strong enough to easily defeat the latter. Otherwise, this battle will not last for less than half a year. .
It is true that Sumir is the holy land in the minds of most orcs in the Innocence Continent, but the nature of this place is different from other holy places. Take the Miracle City that the mages long for as an example. The latter, which can also be called a 'holy land' in a certain sense, is the only floating city in the entire continent and is also the headquarters of the Mage Guild. Among them, there are no less than five legendary sages resident in the City of Miracles. Ten people, as for the epic level, if there are no special circumstances, the minimum requirement to enter there is the epic level. It is simply a fantasy for ordinary mid-level and high-level mages to enter the City of Miracles.
It is said that the floating city has thousands of mage towers alone, and countless large-scale barriers that are updated every year. If the cultists of the same size as the holy mountain Sumir are allowed If we go to attack there, even if the masters in the city don't take action, it is conservatively estimated that they will all die within three days.
And they will be killed alive on the barrier outside the City of Miracles.
But the holy mountain Sumir located in the far north is another situation. Although it is also a holy place, this holy place is a pilgrimage. Simply put, Sumir has a high status, but does not have enough power. Even if it is The orcs who pass by here will basically come to pay their respects to the Holy Mountain. Every year, a large number of shamans of different races come to worship. Their own combat effectiveness is still maintained at a level that is neither high nor low, not weak, but by no means considered. powerful.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, before the Whispering Sect launched a massive attack on Sumir, this historic holy mountain had almost never encountered any attacks. Its nature is similar to those religious organizations in the City of Light. But the difference between the two is that Sumir, who has been isolated from the world for many years, does not have any "hostile units" on the mainland, while the Holy Religion United side has many threats. To give the simplest example, each Believers of the Dawn Sect may be shot by any Dark Night Sect believer when walking outside. As long as the two parties meet, regardless of whether they have met each other, there is a high probability that the other party will be beaten out of their wits, and those shamanistic teachings Followers of Shamanism do not have such natural enemies. They may be beaten for reasons such as offending someone, having enmity with someone, being ugly, etc., but they will never be hostile because they believe in shamanism.
To sum up, we can draw a conclusion, that is, compared with the Capital of Light, Sumir, which is also a 'religious holy land', the former's continental status is basically equal to that of the entire Holy Religion Union, but In terms of strength or combat power, Sumir is slightly inferior to any large sect in the City of Light, and even worse than the entire City of Light.
So those Whispering Cultists who had absolutely no chance of scheming against the City of Light dared to fight Sumir, and even had a slight advantage when the fight actually started.
“I have to say, this is a sad thing.”
Mo Tan sighed, turned to Yi Zuo and smiled helplessly, and said to her like a serious senior: "But there is one thing to say, although the commander-in-chief of the Crusade Army is not very authentic in terms of attitude, but from the perspective of the United The interests here are considered to be tenable. After all, judging from the current situation, if the crusade army goes out with all its strength to attack the 'Babble City', although it is very likely that with the cooperation of Sumir side, the situation will be reversed or even directly Defeat the enemy, but after a battle, your vitality will definitely be greatly weakened. As a result, it will be difficult to defend the Gray White Plains and the Blood Feather Terrace."
Yizou was stunned for a moment, and then. He murmured with some confusion: "Is it true that there is the Gray White Plains and the Blood Feather Terrace?"
"Really what?"
Huo Yanyang saw that Yi Zuo looked somewhat understanding and asked hurriedly Said: "What's going on with the Gray White Plains and the Blood Feather Terrace? Where are they?"
Mo Tan was shocked and looked at Huo Yanyang as if he had seen a ghost: "How on earth have you been hanging around in the past six months? ?”
The latter blinked and started to clinch his fingers: "Fight, study, task, fight, study, fight, fight, fight."
Obviously, this guy has basically not been busy since he arrived in Sumir. He had never thought about anything other than fighting, so he had no memory of the places that were not too far away from here.
"You don't pay attention to anything except your own one-third of an acre of land."
Mo Tan sighed, and then said to Huo Yanyang seriously: "Listen Well, the Gray White Plains and the Blood Feather Mesa are located southwest of the Holy Mountain Sumir.
Yi Zhao coughed slightly in embarrassment, then leaned into Mo Tan's ear and whispered: "Senior, it's southeast, southeast."
Mo Tan's face froze, and he laughed twice in embarrassment. He took half a step back and said, "I'm just going to liven up the atmosphere. Well, I'll tell him the details according to Yi Zou."
Huo Yanyang gave him a 'shameless' look, which was obviously Recalling the glorious deeds of Mo Tan who lost himself six or seven times in just a few hours when they helped Cui Xiaoyu configure his computer, he sneered at the explanation of 'active atmosphere'.
But Yixiang is such an honest girl. When her senior asked her to explain it, she had no doubt about it, so she immediately started popularizing science about Huo Yanyang seriously.
Gray White Plains , Blood Feather Platform, Steel Teeth Tribal Nation, Bone Burial Ground and Broken Head Cliff are located in the southeast of the holy mountain Sumir. They can be called the most barbaric places in the entire Northeast Continent. There are a large number of people with quite wild behavior in them. Although the tribe's people are no different from other tribes on the continent at the physiological level, they are notoriously barbaric and domineering in their style. They seem to have little interest in civilized society and have no intention of integrating themselves into it. He fanatically supports the jungle laws of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and survival of the fittest. He follows the wild nature that surges in his blood like an atavistic phenomenon, and is keen on plundering and killing.
Whether it is the harpies of the Bloodfeather Mesa, the wild boar people of the Steel Teeth Tribal Nation, the gray dwarves of the Ashen Plains or the lizard people of Guillotine Cliff, their folk customs are so fierce that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
These people, who are regarded as barbarians and thugs by the outside world, will break out into a war almost every few years. In addition to effectively reducing the population load, the war will also determine the future of each tribe. The status in several years is simply the crown of the strongest.
The strongest in the literal sense. In the hundreds of years of history of this barbaric land, all the tribes that have won dominance have stood out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The leaders who lead their supporters to final victory are the most cruel, cunning and powerful among them. However, these heroes will also be kicked off the altar by other heroes in the next few years or more than ten years and become Part of the pile of corpses comes over and over again.
So if anyone grabs any bard and asks him where the most chaotic and united places are in the entire Northeast Continent, then they will only get one answer - the northern blood barbarians!
During the war, those guys could kill their 'neighbors' to annihilation with red eyes; but after the 'king' of each round is established, these guys who just saw people a second ago will kill them. The lunatic will immediately turn into a strong-willed warrior with the strongest execution ability, turning his bloodthirsty blades elsewhere, and smearing his brains to death under the orders of the ruler.
For example, burning, killing and looting in places outside the sphere of influence of the ‘blood barbarians’. Food, gold coins, and even the population used to reproduce the next generation of thugs can all be obtained through plunder.
As neighbors, both the Skolko Hills to the west and the Dwarf Mountains to the east are naturally within its hunting range.
The Gray White Plain and the Blood Feather Platform, which are relatively south, are bordered by Doumbuya City and Gospel Mountain City on the northern border of the sanctuary. Therefore, the latter two are naturally regarded as "blood barbarians". 'Targeted, and have been under threat from those thugs for many years.
It was fine in the past. Although those guys occasionally went to the south to fight in the autumn wind, the blood barbarians who knew that the two cities were under the protection of the Holy Church would not go too far. Although they still caused damage every time they looted A lot of sacrifices, but overall it's pretty restrained.
It wasn't until thirty years ago that more than a dozen villages and two underground cities in the west of the Dwarf Mountains were moved to the hinterland of the mountains. The blood barbarian forces, whose harvests were deteriorating, changed their former slightly 'mild' style and began to carry out attacks on the northern territory of the sanctuary. Many brutal and inhuman raids were carried out!
If the major sects in the Capital of Light had not responded promptly and immediately organized a large number of combat forces to send to the northern border of the Holy Land to suppress them, perhaps Doumbuya City and Gospel Mountain City would have been around as early as the 20th century. That became history years ago.
It was also from then on that the United Holy Church deployed a large number of combat forces to garrison the northern border every year. On the one hand, it was to allow the locals to have a good sleep, and on the other hand, it was looking for opportunities. Those extremely vicious thugs were eliminated, but after more than twenty years of stalemate, although the two border towns remained standing, the blood barbarians had never received a fatal blow.
"Isn't it? Sister, are you teasing me?"
When Huo Yanyang heard this, he finally couldn't hold himself back and exclaimed loudly: "How awesome is your holy sect union?" Ah! How could we have been in a stalemate with a bunch of bandits for more than twenty years? ”
Yi Zhao sighed, shook his head slightly and said: "Mr. Huo Yanyang, I actually wanted to say it a long time ago. You seem to have some misunderstanding about our Holy Religion Union."
"Misunderstanding?"< br>
Huo Yanyang raised his eyebrows with a gloomy expression: "I don't think so."
Yizou exchanged a look with Mo Tan with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "I don't mean what I meant. I am as angry as you about the dirty deeds done by some people, and I wish I could personally send those despicable people to the Inquisition."
Huo Yanyang's expression immediately softened, and he smiled dryly. Said: "Let me just say that Miss Yizuo will definitely not speak for those who are trying to frame you and Hei Fan."
The female knight smiled faintly, and then said seriously: "What I called 'misunderstanding' is that you overestimated the strength of the Holy Religion Union."
"Huh?"
Huo Yanyang seems to have some Confused, he gesticulated with his hands and said: "Don't you have gods as your backing? Don't you have countless believers that you can't even count? Don't you have a lot of incredibly powerful knights, priests and other armies? No Don’t talk about the four-digit epic powerhouse? Are these all fake? "
"Hey, let me tell you."
I had a relationship with him during that time in Misha County. Mo Tan, who had the same misunderstanding as Huo Yanyang, shrugged, wagging his fingers and explained: "Actually, what you said just now is not wrong. There are so many believers and thousands of epic level powerhouses are all facts. But man, you missed one thing"
Huo Yanyang looked at Mo Tan very puzzledly: "What's the matter?"
"Those you mentioned are the combined power of the Holy Religion within the entire continent, not the Holy Religion within the Holy Domain or the City of Light. The power of union."
Mo Tan spread his hands and said as concisely as possible: "To give the simplest example, there are many paladins and templars in many places with medium or large churches. , priests, pastors will be stationed inside, and there will also be powerful men such as bishops, high priests, and patriarchs. Although these people belong to the Holy Religion Union, most of them cannot be regarded as the headquarters of the Holy Religion Union, which is the Light. The power of the city, for example, the Justice Church in XX City belongs to the Holy Religion Union, but it belongs to XX City and not to the City of Light. Do you understand? "
Huo Yanyang pursed his lips and thought for a long time. He nodded hesitantly and said: "I understand a little bit."
"Forget it, let me give you another example"
Mo Tanqian laughed, shrugged and said: "Do you know the Tianx Sect? Its followers exceeded one billion a few decades ago. Do you think the combat effectiveness of the Tianx Sect's followers can be directly equated with the Vatican's? "
Huo Yanyang then slapped his forehead and showed a look of surprise: "You said this earlier, wouldn't I understand? Damn it, so it's wrong to say that you Holy Religions are united, you are the City of Light. The combat power is probably not as good as that of our Holy Mountain!"
"That's certainly not the case, after all, you have to consider the power system."
Mo Tan shook his head with a smile. He shook his head, and then his face became condensed.
“But it’s definitely not as powerful as you think. Because of this, some people’s decision to cherish feathers is actually quite tenable!”
