"No~ This is the one Jane asked me to bring. I have already brought her." After returning to the room, Tutapala fell directly next to Lant and asked Lant to comb her hair. By the way, she told what happened just now. .
"I understand. Find someone to tell her tomorrow that I agree to meet her at the Iowa Pass. After that, Abedi's caravan should come to Iowa town, and she can follow it." Lant pointed out. Nodding, thinking about what this Jenny was going to say to her.
"Lord Lant? Do you really believe that the Fiat family does not want to replace you?" Sangji on the side asked tentatively. As the favored one of the beast god of the big family, she is very aware of the alliances and intrigues between the clans. And as a loved one who was delivered by Rousseff and lived in Xingtian City for a period of time, she also has a good understanding of the factions within the Galloping Horse family.
"The Fiat family definitely wants to replace me. Maybe they may have planned to do it directly before, but now they may settle for the second best - hoping that I will become a legendary pillar of the country and that their descendants will be kings after marrying me," Lanter said with a smile.
"But wanting to replace me does not mean that they want to collude with the Orc Royal Court to overthrow me, and even if they collude, they can do it quietly. The whole basin has heard about it now, which can only mean that the Royal Court is doing it. I put on eye drops because I don’t want my relationship with Fiat to ease.”
In a word, Fiat wants various positions in Yeqi City to support their family's bloodline. There is a possibility of marriage between him and Lant. However, the Orc Royal Court cannot marry Lant. Fiat can make small moves, but it is not a crime. Cut off his own retreat.
Sang Ji nodded superficially after listening to Lant's analysis, but felt troubled in her heart.
She is a real representative of the Royal Court who came down from the Orc Plateau. Although she became the priest of Totapara, she still stands on the side of the Royal Court in her heart.
She was afraid that the three galloping families of Hindukel, Yeqi City and Southeast Kingdom would unite. When Rousseff raised his arms, Yeqi City and Southeast Kingdom would provide a large number of magic potions and weapons, and the beast gods' favored ones in the basin would be killed. Entering the Orc Plateau, this is the situation that the entire royal court is most afraid of.
An orc apprentice suddenly knocked on the door of the room and shouted in a panic: "My lords, there are several rat tribes outside asking Tikal families to provide food. I'm afraid the situation is getting out of control!"
…
Outside the city wall of Tikal, the originally green grassland is now filled with black rat-men. These rat-men are not tall. Most of them are not as tall as ordinary human beings without demons. Some are obviously 1.3 or 4 meters tall. The rat men, already wearing simple armor, were showing off their power among the groups of dwarves.
At the front of the team of rat men, a small group of the tallest rat men were wearing black leather armor and white cloth belts on their heads. They held various musical instruments in their hands and played and sang lively.
"In front of Rat Rat's horse, what is floating in the wind is the magic horse
Dong dong dong ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
That is the royal flag of the royal court that conquers galloping horses,
Don’t you know about Wangting Yuqi?
Dong dong dong ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
…”
The minor-key army songs of the rat people were quite charming, and Lant even had a guess as to whether some time traveler had brought about a reform for the local rat people, and brought all the messy rat people tribe's famous names to the royal court. Under his command.
"These rats breed so fast!" Panita, who was standing by the city wall with Lant, looked at the rat-man team with concern. "The entire Hindukel rat-man tribe should have been born in recent decades. After a reshuffle, it is said that they fought a rat war. A rat man who sealed a certain high-level magic beast in his body received a strange inheritance and helped the magic rats in his tribe break through to a high level. Then the entire tribe It swelled.”
"This plot..." Lant watched tens of thousands of rat-headed and rat-brained things move together. It was already disgusting, so he didn't say anything more.
Marching together with the rat people are the little rats under them, and the junior and intermediate demon rats behind them. According to Panita, the rat people have extremely powerful reproductive capabilities. A tribe of rat people can easily number thousands. If the tribe has It is not impossible to have tens of thousands of high-level magic rats.
As the most powerful demonic beast with reproductive capacity, the appearance of a high-level demonic rat means that there are hundreds of intermediate demonic rats, thousands of junior demonic rats, and tens of thousands of ordinary mice in the tribe. These mice look similar to mice. Thousands of ratmen acted together, and it could not be better described as a rat plague.
Panita walked to the city gate with Tuotapala and Lant, and saw that several of the beast-god's followers who were stationed in the city were already confronting the rat-men.
The leader of the rat men was a leader less than 2 meters tall. He shouted loudly: "Our tribe has obeyed the order of the royal court to wipe out Nalant Benma. The royal court's envoy said that all the people who are not All tribes participating in the war must provide food to the tribes participating in the war, why do you refuse!"
Under the gate of Tikal City, there is a favored person with the appearance of a huge saber-toothed tiger. He is the leader of the largest orc family in the entire City of Life, and is also the city’s guard captain. He is very disdainful of the clamor of the rats: "Just because Tikal Karl is a permanently neutral city, this city was founded by the great His Majesty Lucoa himself!”
The saber-toothed tiger roared, frightening the group of mice in front of him to take a few steps back. Only the one who had just spoken remained unmoved.
"It's a joke. It's true that the temple area was built by the God of Life. Such a large area outside is the living area of the orcs. Was it also built by the God himself?" The rat roared, "Children, Wang Ting said, who If you don’t care about our food, you are disobeying the royal court’s order!”
The mice behind him made a squeaking sound, which made the scalps of the loved ones present go numb.
No orc-loved person is afraid of fighting the rat-men, but there are too many rats in front of them. It is obvious that once the rats get on top, they can directly pour into the city from various gaps, drainage holes, and sewers, and destroy the city. The food reserves were all used up.
However, the squeaking sound failed to get louder. The temperature in the air was dropping rapidly. Dew condensed on the outer facade of the tall city wall, and then quickly froze. The ice spread from the city wall to the ground, bypassing A group of favored people directly formed an ice between them and the rat people.
The rich water vapor provided by the moat caused ice spikes to condense on the ice. These ice spikes seemed to be part of the city wall, and the spikes were all pointed at the rat men.
The rats were frightened by the sudden sight and kept retreating. The rats and mice kept groping towards the city gate, trying to find the culprit, until they saw a huge white wolf walking out from among the favored ones.
