When Mag arrived eighty miles northeast, he only saw a burning orc tribe. The raging flames had engulfed the entire tribe. The thick smoke was mixed with the smell of blood that had not yet dissipated, making the flames even more demonic. different.
His ability to sense the black mist was limited. If Irina was here at this time, he should be able to see some clues, but he did not feel any special aura.
"System, where is that thing?" Mag tried to ask the system for help.
"It has disappeared. The host arrived late and cannot be traced for the time being." The system's voice sounded in Mag's mind.
"Waste material." Mag curled his lips and squinted slightly at the burning orc tribe. Suddenly he opened his eyes and raised his hand towards somewhere. The Tiandu Sword overturned a stone wall and at the same time swept away the surrounding flames. Forced to disperse.
Under the stone wall was the body of a male orc.
From the wound on his neck, it can be judged that he was killed by the standard long sword of the Los Empire Knights, but what Mag focused on was not this, but the terrifying appearance of his withered body.
It was as if all the essence and blood from his body had been sucked dry, leaving only a piece of skin wrapping the bones.
This was not caused by the burning of the flames, because the flames had not yet burned into his body, nor could it be caused by a knight's sword.
"What's going on?" Mag frowned as he looked at the corpse.
"It has something to do with the black mist." The voice of the system sounded, "His target should be the blood essence and resentment of these corpses."
"So this old ruler had long expected that there would be such a war in the Twilight Forest, and after the war, he would crazily absorb the essence, blood and resentment of the corpses to strengthen himself?" Mag frowned deeper, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind. He flashed past and said in surprise: "In other words, he started this war, so the northwest frontier army received the order to slaughter the orc tribe. The only person who can do this is Qiao Xiu!"
Irina once said that she sensed the presence of black mist on Qiao Xiu's body, but she gave up after finding no definite evidence.
But if all of this was planned and executed by Qiao Xiu, it would make perfect sense.
Andre and Sean traveled thousands of miles to attend the Peace Conference in the City of Chaos, but they took the risk of being surrounded on the spot and launched an attack on the orcs and elves at the same time. This was a rather puzzling decision.
When the news reached the Peace Conference, Mag clearly saw the flash of shock on Andre's face. Looking back now, I'm afraid even he didn't know that such a thing had happened.
Andre would not be stupid enough to anger the entire Nolan Continent. The impact of the Elba tribe tragedy back then was unforgettable, but now the Los Empire military has caused dozens of similar tragedies in the Twilight Forest.
Although Sean has been operating in the Northwest Military Region for many years and has very deep roots, it is impossible to say that he can surpass Andre and mobilize the entire northwest coalition to launch an attack on the orcs, let alone mobilize the northeastern frontier troops to launch an attack on the elves. attack.
As for how Qiao Xiu, who has little roots in the military, managed to hide from Andre and mobilize the two major military regions to launch an invasion, this probably has something to do with the old rulers.
"What exactly does this guy want to do?" Mag's face looked a little cold, and he clenched his fists and looked around.
The sun has slowly set from the west, and the surroundings are silent. Only the sound of wood exploding in the flames rings in my ears from time to time.
"If Qiao Xiu's purpose is to absorb resentment, the host should prevent more orcs from dying now. Only in this way can Qiao Xiu be stopped," the system said.
"I suddenly regretted that I only cut off one of his ears last time and didn't cut off his head directly." Mag put away the image stone, jumped on the back of the gryphon, and took another look at the body that was gradually being devoured by the flames. , said in a deep voice: "Next time, he won't have another chance."
…
"When can I appear in front of Alex openly and step on the ground and rub him?" In a dark valley dozens of miles away, Qiao Xiu walked out of the darkness with a ferocious expression.
"It's coming... It's going to be done soon..." The devil's whisper sounded in his ears.
…
"Sister Anne, do you think my father and mother have forgotten us? We haven't even had lunch yet, and we can't even get in." Amy sat on the steps at the door of Maimi's restaurant, He asked while dragging his chin with two small hands, looking sideways at Annie, with a hint of sadness on his chubby little face.
Annie smiled and shook her head, reaching out and gently touching Amy's head to comfort her.
"But, I really want to eat roast goose." Amy looked at the ugly duckling in her arms and swallowed.
The ugly duckling, who was lying comfortably, suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Amy with some horror, and then slowly moved his body in the direction of Annie, trying to stay away from Amy.
…
"The elves are really vulnerable. They are so weak that you can't even feel that this is a race that was once more powerful than the Los Empire." General Yiman looked at the empty castle in front of the crowd and couldn't help laughing.
As the military commander of this invasion of the Wind Forest, a powerful tenth-level knight, he led 50,000 imperial cavalry and drove straight in. He encountered almost no large-scale resistance along the way, and entered the wind as if entering an uninhabited land. the core area of the forest.
The combat effectiveness and defensive capabilities displayed by this neighbor of the Los Empire are surprisingly low.
According to this progress, as long as he is given three days and without any support from the empire, he can lead 50,000 cavalry to make the Forest of Winds the territory of the Los Empire.
Thinking that this illustrious military exploit would forever engrave his name in the history books of the empire and leave a strong mark on it, the flesh on Iman's face became even more crowded and distorted.
"Go past this castle and march directly towards the Tree of Life. Tonight we will drink the water of life, hold the beautiful elves in our arms, and sleep under the Tree of Life!" Iman said loudly.
These words immediately caused a burst of cheers. The knights, who were a little tired from the rapid march, seemed to have been suddenly beaten to blood, and continued to march closely behind Iman.
In the distance, the city of life built in the forest can be vaguely seen.
That is the symbol of the elves and the last line of defense for the elves.
The unstoppable spirit along the way made these knights gradually expand, thinking that as soon as they got there, it would become the territory of the Los Empire, and the elves did not even have the courage to resist.
There are no high walls in the City of Life, only a sealing barrier.
At this time, the nobles in the city were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Bad news came back from the front one after another. Seeing that the Los Empire's cavalry was getting closer and closer to the City of Life, the elves had never been able to make a strong move. The counterattack is really a headache.
