"First of all, the orcs didn't conquer Yeqi City overnight, they took more than ten years." The pattern of Yeqi City drawn by Ben using magic turned into fireworks in an instant.
"Secondly, the impact of the demonic tide on this world is all-round." Ben smiled, "Don't think that our current human empire has used magic to the limit to completely avoid the demonic tide."
"Even the ancient civilization of the Gods cannot truly overcome the influence of the demonic tide." Ben Call's "Gods" adopt ancient sounds, and the melodious and tortuous syllables seem to come from the distant sky, making Lant instantly Feeling dizzy and dizzy.
Ben looked at Lant, who had a strange expression on his face, and suddenly thought, "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that word. Are you... okay?"
The entire God race has become a god, which makes the word itself somewhat sacred.
At this moment, Lant seemed to hear countless murmurings in his ears, and it took him a while to calm down.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I just want to tell you that the impact of the magic tide on the magic environment cannot be solved by the current human race." Ben supported Lant, "Human beings are also affected by the magic tide in all aspects. , every thousand years of great demonic tide will cause rifts in space."
"Space rift?" Lant finally felt a little more comfortable and didn't think much about the meaning of this word.
"The fallen demons used space rifts to raid a large number of cities, causing the fall of the southern grain-producing area." The mage looked up at the bright moon in the real sky. "On the Galloping Horse Plains, the demonic tide provided convenience for the orcs. Those favored by the beast god could Using the magic power of the space gap to become the container of the beast god, they are often more than 20 meters long, and these city walls are not worth mentioning in front of them."
"It seems that King Kong has been summoned." Lant also looked at the city wall and understood in his heart, "If King Kong came to attack the city, it would make sense."
Having said that, Ben looked at Lant and paused for a long time before speaking, "Actually, I have always wanted to remind you that activating Yeqi City is not as difficult as you think. Even as long as you can restore its functions, it will be impossible for anyone to I dare to take your credit."
"Well, since it's easy..." Lant was a little strange. It wasn't that difficult for me to take over the plain, and it wasn't that difficult to activate Yeqi City. So why is this pearl on the plain still a ruin?
"But it's not easy to defend Yeqi City." The mage sighed invisibly, "Once you capture Yeqi City, the entire empire will pay attention to you, and the orcs will continue to test you. With your current situation, The team is simply unable to compete with the orc army.”
"So, no one has recovered Ye Qi City for so many years because they don't think they can defend it against the orc army, instead of being afraid of the barbarian tribes?"
"This is the main reason. The Galloping Horse Plain is the place where the orcs and the human empire collide. If there is no legend willing to stay for a long time, even if the entire plain is taken, it will not be able to stop the orcs."
Rant felt that Ben's statement was a bit exaggerated, but he roughly understood what Ben meant.
A certain tacit understanding has been formed between the human race and the orcs, using the Galloping Horse Plains as a buffer zone. If the orcs enter the hinterland of the human race from the galloping horse plains, the humans will fight tooth and nail. On the contrary, if the humans enter the Galloping Horse Plains, the orcs will also take action.
The one who can suppress the orcs is the Human Empire, but from the empire to the Galloping Horse Plains, there are two kingdoms. Each empire and kingdom has its own calculations. Amidst the constant calculations and shirks of several parties, the recovery of the Galloping Horse Plains has been delayed. Hundreds of years.
Anyway, the lives of the legends are calculated based on thousands of years. It doesn't matter if they wait for a hundred or two hundred years. Instead, if they are not ready and take the plain by force, they will have to face the counterattack of the orcs. Then the legends will have to risk their lives. Guard Yeqi City.
After thinking about this, Lant also figured out why he was able to get a bargain and occupied the entire southern part of the Galloping Horse Plain.
"So, it's not that I missed it, it's just that everyone else is competing with each other and no one cares about me?" Lant said softly.
"It's not as unbearable as you said, but in the future those who compete with each other will have to compete with you." Ben patted Lant on the shoulder, "You must be mentally prepared!"
Lant didn't take any chances with his future. As long as he captured the Galloping Horse Plains, he would face the orcs. He knew that he would always face the orcs' front.
But this plain is also not a paradise for the orcs. Otherwise, the orcs would not have retreated after taking Yeqi City. Rand does not need to avoid the orcs all the time. He only needs to give himself enough development time to obtain high-end combat power. Just support.
"Sir, those thieves have been recruited." Just as Lant and Ben were chatting, Peter ran over happily, "Those boys have admitted that they are spies sent by the sixth prince Kirislav, and they just want to find out more about the grassland. , especially the situation in Yeqi City."
The chat between Peter Maned Wolf and the thieves was very effective, and he broke through on several people in one afternoon.
Several people admitted that they were sent by Prince Durosun Nicholas of the Kingdom of Kirislav to investigate the strength of various barbarian tribes on the plains and the location of Yeqi City.
"What are the identities of these people?" The Kirislav Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom are allies. Both sides recognize the nobles, officials and knights appointed by the other party. In a strict sense, if these people are Kirislav's semi-official exploration team , then the most Rand can do is send them back to Kirislav.
After all, Lant is not the master of Yeqi City now, and the Human Empire has not recognized his identity as the King of Galloping Horse Plains. In the Human Empire, attacking barbarians is obviously not a crime.
"They are pure thieves without any official identity. I found the dirt they had stolen before from their luggage." The meaning of Peter's words was very clear. No matter how he dealt with it, Kirislav could not fault it.
"In this case, there is nothing more to say. Let's imprison him first and send him to the salt mine in the future." Lant thought this was fine, as the salt mine would have someone to work on. "What happened to the sixth prince?"
"They didn't go into details." Peter shook his head helplessly. It took a lot of experience for him to track down this information. "The thieves didn't give any more information about their employer. In other words, even the sixth prince was the leader. The thief guessed it himself.”
The only thing that is certain is that several people were fished out from the Lubyan Square prison of the secret department in Nikolagrad, the capital of Kirislav, and passed through the portal to Brivino, the westernmost city of Kirislav. Yansk passed through the Frostwolf Forest and entered the Galloping Horse Plains, all the way to Yeqi City.
Judging from the description of the thieves, the people who hired them were indeed not ordinary people, but Kirislav was too far away from Yeqi City, and Lant couldn't worry about that far away.
