On that majestic mountain, the red dragon lay lazily in the cave. Its majestic body almost filled the cave, exuding an incomparable sense of oppression.
"Gruush is on top"
For a moment, Nur was deeply shocked. He had never seen such a huge dragon, even the hateful ancient golden dragon. , also seemed worthless in front of this Burning Emperor.
As if aware of the visitor's arrival, the red dragon opened its eyes and slowly climbed up from the cave. Its scarlet scales rubbed against the surrounding rock walls, making a clicking sound. The gravel fell, and the whole mountain made a dull sound, as if every move he made was enough to cause landslides and ground cracks.
The red dragon stuck out its huge head and stared at the orcs condescendingly. Firelight flashed in its lava ball-like pupils, and the broad dragon wings behind it slowly unfolded, shrouding the orcs in shadow. .
"Father God."
"This, how is this possible?"
Under the terrifying pressure of the dragon, half of the orcs in the mission went dark and fainted on the spot. On the ground, he was foaming at the mouth and even twitching all over.
The other half of the orcs also knelt down on the ground one after another, burying their heads very low. They had lost the ability to think normally, and they only relied on their last willpower to stay awake.
Nur, who calls himself a tribal warrior, also fell to his knees with a plop, his forehead pressed against the dusty ground. His blood was flowing rapidly and his heart was beating violently, almost to the point of bursting. chest.
As expected of the Ember Emperor who conquered North IJssel! He actually has such strength! Even the former Lord Batu couldn't defeat such a giant dragon.
If we form an alliance with such a being, what does that hateful golden dragon and the dwarf king mean? Even Evindeldan, who is known for his sturdiness, would fall apart and become fragile in front of such a giant beast.
In an instant, various emotions such as fear, shock, and excitement were intertwined in Nuer's heart. The bright future of avenging Batu and conquering the mountain kingdom seemed to be right in front of him.
Thinking of this, the orc warrior mustered up all his strength, tried his best to recall the previous reminder of the mage, and stammered: "See, see His Majesty Cassius, we are from the Red Blood Tribe. , the messenger.
We have heard of your conquest of Aesir, and we bring you the respect of Warchief Thoro.”
Cassius grinned with a ferocious smile and said slowly: "Guests from the grassland, don't be nervous, let alone be afraid. After all, I won't eat you alive."
"Hoo, hoo"
Nur and the orcs felt their bodies lighten, and the pressure on their shoulders suddenly dissipated. They gasped for breath, and finally recovered from the extreme fear and panic.
Nur squeezed out a flattering smile on that ugly, fanged face, and used all the vocabulary of orc poetry in his mind to flatter him: "Your Majesty Cassius, you Your body is taller than the mountains, you The majestic grassland is even more magnificent
Your Majesty, we are not afraid, but shocked by your power. Your Majesty, we didn’t understand why you were able to conquer North IJssel until we saw your heroic appearance with our own eyes.”
After the horse was photographed this time, the beast lowered his head again, resting his forehead on the ground, anxiously waiting for the emperor's further questions.
After all, they also know very well that unlike metal dragons, five-color dragons are evil existences, and red dragons are moody tyrants. No one knows whether they will accidentally offend the other party.
A thunderous and heavy sound came from above their heads, and the red dragon asked: "Orcs of the Red Blood Tribe, why are you here?
"We want to fight with the Ember Empire. Make an alliance. "Nur said hurriedly.
The red dragon's eyes flashed, obviously he had expected this, and he repeated those two words softly.
"Alliance?"
Nur quickly raised his head, his voice excited: "Yes, Your Majesty Cassius, your empire has just conquered the North IJssel Plain, has strong military strength, and has achieved great results. .
The next direction you conquer should be the alpine dwarf kingdom in the Blackstone Mountains! There are rich mineral veins and countless dwarf craftsmen who can create sophisticated weapons and equipment."
However, Cassius hits directly Stopped him: "Conquering the mountain dwarf kingdom is indeed a good idea, but the Ember Empire is powerful enough, so why would there be any reason to form an alliance with you?"
Nur obviously did not expect that the other party would say this. After thinking about it for a moment, he explained hurriedly: "We orcs have been at war with the dwarves for thousands of years. We have invaded Avendeldan several times. We know their situation well and are definitely the most suitable allies for the empire."
< br>
Cassius interrupted him again: "But how did I hear that you never won a victory? A few months ago, you were wiped out again and fled north in panic."
"No, Your Majesty, we just ”
The red dragon lowered its head and sprayed Emitting hot sulfur-smelling white smoke, he said with a ferocious smile: "Losers like you, what qualifications do you have to form an alliance with the empire on an equal footing?"
"Boom——"
The dust is flying, The gravel flew and the earth roared.
Suddenly, strong pressure poured down again, pressing on the shoulders of the orcs. Even the ground collapsed under the pressure, and shallow pits appeared at their knees. Several orcs fainted, and the orcs present who could hold on could survive. There are already very few.
"No"
Nur murmured to himself, feeling that the beautiful vision of occupying Avendeldan and revenge against the dwarves appeared in his heart with countless cracks, and was about to collapse and shatter.
No, he must convince the emperor! He wants to avenge Batu and change the tragic fate of the orcs for thousands of years!
Nur lowered his head and trembled violently. He tried his best to support his body, his voice was hoarse and blood foamed at the mouth: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, our Red Blood Tribe can definitely provide enough help to the empire!"< br>
Cassius looked down at him, slowly unfolded his dragon wings, and asked jokingly: "In my opinion, you orcs have neither a strong body nor sophisticated equipment, except for the tenacious vitality." Outside, it’s totally useless
I’m curious about yours. Where is the confidence?”
“His Majesty Cassius”
Nur recalled what Chief Solo said to him before leaving: If the other party refuses to cooperate or even wants to silence him, then The true power of the orcs must be shown - that is the gift of Father God Gruumsh!
He must make the red dragon in front of him value and respect the orcs, and fulfill the group's long-cherished wish of destroying the mountain dwarf kingdom for thousands of years!
Thinking of this, Nur took out a clay pot engraved with rough runes from his fur pocket and put it to his mouth.
The clay pot contained some kind of foul-smelling, fishy black slurry. It was extremely dark in color and seemed to be swallowing up everything.
Chief Solo found these slurries from the Bindler River and named them "Blood of Gruumsh", saying that it was a gift from God the Father and that only the brave men in the tribe had it. Qualified to drink.
“The confidence of the orcs comes from our ancestors, from the great father God Gruumsh!”
Nur’s voice was sonorous and powerful. He raised his head and opened his mouth wide without hesitation. , the black liquid suddenly rushed into his throat like greedy beasts.
"This is..." Cassius observed this strange scene and did not stop it. He seemed to feel a familiar aura from the black slurry. Bottomless abyss.
Chaos, madness, and distortion. The power contained in these slurries is very similar to the power of chaos in the abyss, but it is also mixed with strange ingredients, which makes Cassius feel quite strange. .
The black hand behind this special green-skinned orc may not only be the bottomless abyss, but also some unknown mysterious existence.
Sure enough, after swallowing the "blood of Gruumsh", black liquid surged in the blood vessels, and the orc's body swelled visibly to the naked eye, becoming bigger and stronger. Teeth also keep growing.
And this change is extremely weird. It doesn't look like the growth of a living thing at all, but like the reproduction of fungi. Mycelium and masses of disgusting moss-like substances continue to grow on the surface of the orc's body, and eventually gradually gather into new muscles and skin.
"WAAAGH——"
The orc looked up to the sky and roared, letting out a hoarse roar, with a crazy red light in his eyes. His originally less than two meters body expanded to more than three meters in a very short period of time. , and become muscular.
"Emperor, are the orcs qualified to form an alliance now?"
Nur grinned, revealing his ferocious protruding fangs, and a thick black liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth, exuding a thick The fishy smell.
Cassius did not respond, but looked up and down at the orcs who had completed their "evolution", as if looking at a strange experimental object, with an expression of interest: "Is this the so-called gift of Gruumsh?
The tough green skin seems to be Performing photosynthesis and constantly absorbing energy from the outside world, the huge body is also exuding tiny green spores to the outside world, and also produces some kind of violent force field that can distort reality.
"Haha. , what an interesting life form. ”
In Cassius’s view, compared with the original brutal humanoid creature, the uglier, sharp-toothed green-skinned creature is now more like a combination of fungi and animals.
Not getting a response from the red dragon, the orc seemed a little angry. He said with a ferocious face: "Emperor Burning Ember, we have shown such a powerful force, why are you still unwilling to form an alliance with the orcs? ! ”
"Powerful?"
The red dragon smiled contemptuously. He waved his dragon wings, setting off an extremely strong wind, and descended in front of the orcs.
In front of the giant dragon that was more than fifty meters long, Even the orcs who have completed their "evolution" are like tiny ants.
The orcs, who had become much stronger and taller, raised their heads, feeling the hurricane coming towards them, looking up at the figure that covered the sky and the sun, and finally realized that they were a little too arrogant.
Even Lord Batu, who is favored by Father God, may not be able to defeat the red dragon in front of him, let alone himself?
"In the face of real power, you are nothing! Compared to allies, you greenskins are more suitable to be the empire's experiments!" Cassius roared and stretched out his huge claws.
The claw-shaped flickering magic force field materialized in front of the red dragon, grabbing the three-meter-tall mutated orc in the air and crushing the unconscious orcs into meat pies.
Nur twisted and struggled in mid-air, and let out a hoarse roar: "Ember Emperor, let me live! We are the descendants of the great one-eyed Gruumsh! You are not afraid of provoking Is Father God angry?”
“The god of orcs cares about just one person? Orc's life? What's more, can you really be considered an orc now?"
Cassius sneered, and the power on his claws continued to increase, and the orc's body was squeezed by the huge force. It was so ravaged that even the tough green skin burst open, spurting out turbid blood full of spores.
"WAAAGH!"
The orc roared again, emitting a frantic force field all over his body, trying to disrupt the red dragon's scratching technique.
But as a legendary warlock and transcendent spellcaster, Cassius's spells are of extremely high quality. Even the zero-level scratching technique is by no means something this green-skinned man can interfere with.
"Bang!"
In the end, with a crisp crackling sound, the orc exploded in the air and was crushed to death by the red dragon, while Nur conquered Avendeldan and became Ba The dream of revenge is also shattered with the end of life.
The green blood, broken blood, and broken limbs were all splashed on the ground.
Cassius was quite surprised to find that the spores in the orc's body began to take root in the soil, growing continuously, greedily absorbing the surrounding matter and energy.
If not controlled, they may grow mushroom-like things and create new orcs, and just this corpse can produce dozens or even hundreds of new orcs.
“They are reproducing.”
Looking at the severed bodies and limbs, Cassius couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s really a terrifying reproductive ability. No wonder the orcs in the previous life can set off The 'green-skinned disaster' swept across the continent, destroying several kingdoms one after another."
The red dragon spit out hot dragon flames, burning the green-skinned orc's body to ashes, completely inactivating the spores.
He gently hooked his claws, collected some black slurry and green flesh and blood fragments, and stored them in a closed dimensional bag.
“We still have to send these things to Trump and let the Empire’s Department of Science and Technology study them.” Cassius nodded with satisfaction.
Hundreds of miles away, Seven Trumps, who were immersed in dealing with government affairs, did not know that he was about to have a new job studying mutant orcs.
Northern Ugo Prairie, Parris Valley.
Under the shadow, an orc knelt on the ground and reported in a low voice: "Lord Thoro, Nur and the others have not been heard from for several days. After the witchcraft divination of the clan shaman, they are probably all dead."< br>
"I know, what a bunch of trash." The extremely burly orc slowly stood up from the bone throne covered with green moss, showing an extremely ferocious smile: "Just However, we don’t need so-called allies, the Red Blood Tribe is already strong enough!”
He is the current chief of the Red Blood Tribe—Solo Blood Drinker, but now he has grown to six meters. He was so tall that he looked like a giant in green skin. He was far taller and stronger than the former chief Batu Skullbreaker, who was a favored person of the gods. He was more in line with the orcs' definition of "mighty and powerful".
Solo raised the bone spear in his hand and shouted crazily: "Under the protection and grace of Father God Gruumsh, the great orc family will conquer the entire world!"
" WAAAGH!”
In front of Solo, countless orcs crowded together like a green tide. They raised their weapons and rushed to shout fanatically, and their shouts resounded through the sky.
The damp and dark valley bottom in the distance is already covered with huge green mushrooms. They grow densely and occupy the entire valley, greedily absorbing the nutrients around them. (End of this chapter)
