Chapter 1323： Dusk Bloodline (1/2)

As the huge sun sets in the west, the ancient jungle has turned into a sea of ​​fire in the gradually slanting **** sunset, and the blood-like flames of the setting sun rise and burn on the ancient land of the orcs, almost the entire plain of rubble and the red jade city are towering. The walls of the city were stained with a layer of crimson.

The wall fell into dead silence, and everyone’s minds seemed to be held tightly by the blood spreading on the plain. It was not until a tribal warrior shouted loudly on the wall that the silence was broken: "The Chief Come back! Open the city gate!"

The heavy purple steel city gate slowly rises under the action of the iron chain and pulley block. Amid the creaking friction, Camilla and the last group of retreated tribal warriors rushed into the ancient main city of the orcs, accompanied by As the heavy door was closed again, a false and temporary "sense of security" was established-but this "sense of security" did not make Camilla's footsteps brisk, she just took heavy steps step by step Walk up the city wall and walk towards his generals and soldiers.

The tribal warriors who came to guard the city wall and the temporarily armed militiamen crowded on both sides, many pairs of nervous or tired eyes watching her quietly in the sunset, Camilla never thought that the eyes of her compatriots would make her Feeling such a heavy weight, she walked forward silently, feeling the strength brought by the blood in her body gradually faded, the pain and poison began to torment her nerves and will again, and the feeling of weakness came one after another. .

At this moment, a nervous and pretentious voice suddenly came from among the soldiers: "Warchief, uncles and aunts said that you did the right thing..."

Camilla's footsteps couldn't help but stop. She looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a short orc girl standing in a corner looking at herself boldly, her ears still covered with black fur , The war patterns on her cheeks and neck have not yet grown, and she is carrying a small axe in her hand. She looks not as tall as the soldiers' waist and abdomen-even according to the standards of the "Shakhdah", she shouldn't Standing on the city wall.

The expression on Camilla's face changed. She came to the little girl, bent down and pressed her forehead against the other's forehead, until the warmth of the blood was transmitted through the fur, she got up and looked at the nearby soldier. They: "Where are the parents of this child? Why let such a small child go up the city wall?"

She asked twice, and no one nearby responded, so she woke up and looked down at the girl standing with the warriors holding a small axe. She bent down again, her voice hoarse and soft: "You are a brave child. …Will follow the warriors of the tribe, someone will tell you where to go."

After getting a positive answer from the little girl, she got up again and crossed the ramp. On the wall, she saw General Morakot with a bandage on his arm.

"Arrange for children, scholars and some young and strong craftsmen to leave the city and evacuate to the ancestral peak," Camilla came to Morak and said to the old orc in a low voice, "There is also a child on the wall who has not even grown a war pattern. , Also take her away."

Morak looked at Camilla with a complicated expression: "Warchief..."

"We have no retreat. We must stay here and buy time for people from other tribes. This is the mission of warriors and chiefs-but it should not be the fate of our entire tribe," Camilla shook her head. "Scholar, The mission of craftsmen and children is to survive. We need successors to rebuild this land. Even if the whole of Ogure cannot avoid the fate of destruction, we must leave some seeds and keep a share in the long history of the future. hope."

Morak was silent for a few seconds, and finally lowered his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Warchief."

The old orc quickly completed the arrangement, and the warchief’s order was followed. After completing the order, he returned to Camilla and looked at the burning red jade forest with him. He was silent for a long time. No words.

Flames rise in the forest sea, and from time to time thick black smoke and explosions erupt in the depths of the dense forest. A purple-black air mass tries to condense above the forest sea, but it is constantly being dispersed by the monstrous flames, feeling the turbulent magic and power in the air. Elemental power, Morakh couldn't help but whispered: "Your plan has worked. The main force of those monsters is being wiped out by the flames of the forest guards."

"It's just a deterrence-the flames are not only killing the monsters emerging from the wasteland, nor is the red jade forest sea an airtight barrier," Camilla shook his head, and said in a low voice, "The power of the forest guard is limited. Yes, those aberrations continue to flow."

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Hongyu Linhai: "When I was evacuating, I noticed that the monsters had begun to emerge from the mountain roads on the north and south sides of Langji Mountain. Under the command, they were not completely ignorant. They know how to detect, divide and outflank the monsters. In this case, being able to block part of their main vanguard force with the red jade forest is already a great result."

Morak fell silent, and the old orc seemed unwilling to accept the fact that the entire red jade forest could only temporarily stop the enemy's offensive. However, the reality will not change with his will after all. He can only sigh in the end: "At least, we This prevented the entire land from transforming into a wasteland environment-the burned land will still be able to live in one day."

Camilla nodded silently, and at this moment, she suddenly noticed that something seemed to be rising in the depths of the burning red jade forest. She looked into the depths of the flames and smoke in astonishment, and saw A huge shadow is condensing, bulging, and quickly turning into a cloaked, blurry phantom!

It was the image of a forest watcher, a condensed phantom. This phantom rose from the forest and looked at the direction of Red Jade City from a distance. After staring for a while, it raised its arm made of smoke and dust and pointed it at the Red Jade Forest. In the north of the city, after making a vigilant gesture, the huge illusion suddenly collapsed and turned into smoke and dust in the sky.

And at the moment that the dust drifted away with the wind, the flames in the red jade forest also rose to the peak, but there was no tangible will support in this monstrous flame—it had become an ordinary forest fire.

The forest guards are free, and there is another mysterious and long-lasting thing on Ogure Land that has become history, but the warchiefs and generals on the walls have no extra energy to sigh this. Morak stared at the huge illusion. In the direction of the finger, the tone became tense: "Warchief, the forest ranger seems to want to tell us something, that direction is..."

"Let the warriors on the wall prepare for battle, and let the evacuation team leave the city immediately," Camilla said quickly, and she had already thought of the worst possibility, "That is the direction where the Fourth Mountain Corps of mankind is garrisoned... The northern line of defense may be Gouge through!"

The forces in the Ruby City were quickly mobilized. The warriors and all the war preparations in the city were sent to the city wall, and the teams that needed to be evacuated began to gather at the side entrance to the west of the city. Not long after that, Camilla had a bad foreboding. It was confirmed.

An unknown piece of dark smoke rose from the sky north of the Red Jade Forest Sea, and the unusually gathering clouds brought a great sense of oppression, and the soldiers who had experienced repeated fierce battles before were no strangers to this feeling-that is The unclean aura exuded by the converging army of deformed bodies is a sign that the entire land is transforming into a wasteland environment.

As Camilla said, the sea of ​​red jade forest cannot stop all the enemies. When Ogure’s defenses are broken one by one, the aberrations that have gathered can launch attacks on the surviving cities on this land from any direction. -Of course, the fire in the Red Jade Forest Sea is not meaningless. The fire blocked at least half of the aberrations, but correspondingly... Camilla and her soldiers must now face the remaining enemies.
