Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 387 A Piece of Red Cloth

Rewind the time to five days ago.

Inside the Blood Temple.

Juan Clemente, carrying his rune greatsword, paced back and forth in the temple hall paved with gold bricks. Every time he made a turn, he raised his head worriedly and looked outside the temple. Along a long street, the federal orc troops were at war.

Compared to the irritability of the Death Knight, Pavol Eldridge and Master Victor Laurie are much more comfortable:

They are surrounded by a steel helmet that plays a small pot, using flame magic as a stove, and are happily cooking blood tofu.

In fact, long before they planned to occupy the Blood Temple, they had already carried enough dry food—a few months ago, the Enziai trolls and elf mages in Frost Maple Ridge jointly researched key problems, using "Tsau Shan Ming" and Several other kinds of elf specialty food produced a compressed ration that is extremely small in size but rich in nutrition and can keep you full and hungry.

During this expedition to the federal border, the Frost Maple Ridge Expeditionary Army has always combined fighting and looting, taking the path of supporting war with war:

Every time an orc village is captured, they will harvest a lot of livestock and rations for future marches;

It was also because of this that the "Warrior Racks" they brought with the army from the Land of Cracked Souls were not consumed at all along the way, and they were all brought into the Temple of Blood with a wave of the lord's hand.

It stands to reason that with so much rations, they are enough to live in the Blood Temple for more than a month-but since there is a blood tofu hot pot that can be used to feast on, these Shuangfengling bums don't bother to touch dry compressed food.

General Durst Lone Stone, the head of the "Pride of the God of War", made a serious misjudgment about the situation. He thought that the number of Scourge Legion under "Master Ner'zhul" who occupied the Blood Temple this time should be There are hundreds of them, but he never imagined that in fact, in the entire Blood Temple, there are only a few dozen human beings who need to eat——

——The rest are a group of undead creatures who don't eat or drink.

Theoretically, maintaining the existence of undead creatures for a long time will quickly consume the ghost magic power of their masters, making the necromancer drained like an old otaku encountering a succubus.

In the absence of effective means of mana replenishment in the Blood Temple, "wait a little longer to exhaust the mana of 'Master Ner'zhul'" is also a major reason for "Pride of the God of War" to adopt the siege strategy;
But they never expected that the so-called "Necromancer" is actually a mainland alien who uses the magic power of the nether world without a watch...

These days, a lord who has never worked hard, finally realized the pain of the proletarian who went to the "Griffin Kiln" every day to burn bricks in Master Laurie:
In the Temple of Blood, Xia Houyan’s daily job is to use low-level necromantic magic to continuously resurrect the undead orcs whose duration has expired, and at the same time use his spare time to help the zombie shaman upstairs write some new words for the loudspeaker. say sad.

For example, in the past two days, the promotional song of the zombie shamans is no longer the Haiwen version of "AMANI", which was originally a tribute to Mr. Huang Jiakui, but a song changed from English to Orc Common "We Are the World" which is exported to Chinese culture.

The people responsible for singing this famous benefit song on the roof of the Blood Temple are all high-ranking orc shamans in the Blood Temple, and they can be regarded as respecting the traditions of the earth and creating an all-star lineup.

In the singing of "The mainland family are all children of the God of War", most of the Frost Maple Ridge occupying troops in the Temple of Blood were infected by this hot climate, and even wrote some laughable and generous words like middle school students in a sports meeting. Sour poems and rotten articles enthusiastically contributed to the zombie radio station on the roof:
Most of the manuscripts with good publicity effects and correct political trends were successfully broadcast after being reviewed by the lord, but there were also a few scum of the pioneer army who tried to fish in troubled waters and submit small pornographic articles to let the zombie shaman attack the whole city What "Love Locking Magic" was broadcast, but was reprimanded by the lord.

But in general, the effect of this zombie radio station is still very good. The orc shaman, who is good at singing war songs, is a completely professional counterpart when he switches to a human amplifier.

Listening to the zombie broadcast upstairs, Xia Houyan said in his heart that airdropping leaflets from planes on the earth is such a rough job. This is a real propaganda offensive that goes deep into the enemy's hinterland...

However, not all people in Shuangfengling are content with the status quo.

For example, Juan Clemente is more impatient-this is not to say that the death knight who has been imprisoned in the basement for 800 years lacks the patience to wait, but because he really wants to rush out and kill a few Orcs play.

——On the ground outside the temple, there are still many corpses of orc soldiers who died in battle, and they can be pulled up by the lord at any time to become a natural disaster army;
Any imperial knight with a sense of honor must not be able to resist the strong desire to lead such a large army, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and make another contribution to the territory and the empire.

However, the lord didn't seem to have any intention of fighting the besiegers outside. Instead, he calmly stayed in the Blood Temple for a while, probably determined to confront the orcs outside to the end.

Juan Clemente looked at the situation outside the temple. Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing, he waved the rune sword in his hand boredly, and muttered:
"How long are we going to stay here... If we rush out now, we can actually kill this bunch of green skins..."

Not far away, Xia Houyan also heard the death knight's complaint, rolled his eyes and said:

"Be patient... We are occupying their holy land of orcs to shit, and we are holding a whole division here—Juan, tell me, are we more anxious, or are they more anxious?"

When the boss spoke, Clement had nothing to say, so he could only sit back on the ground with the rune sword in his arms, watching Master Laurie and Eldridge having hot pot angrily:
The blood tofu looks delicious, but the death knight can't eat at all...

"Chris! Play a game of chess with me!" Clement thought for a while and shouted.

Chris strolled over with a gloomy expression on his face, and played chess with Clement to relieve his boredom. The deputy commander of the pioneering army obviously had no interest in playing chess with a humanoid AlphaGo.

After solving Clement's minor emotions, Xia Houyan withdrew his attention and re-entered the conversation with Calvino Master of Spiritual Songs.

In the past two days, the master of spiritual songs has given full play to the unique, sensitive and studious tradition of scholars in the magician industry, and has been concentrating on interpreting and rubbing the golden inscriptions on the walls of the temple—for those who have been unable to enter the Holy Land of War For humans and elves, these inscriptions are undoubtedly important historical materials.

It is rumored that the Blood Temple was built by the God of War and his followers. Naturally, the ancient inscriptions on the walls of this temple should also be marks left by the God of War and his followers thousands of years ago——

——As long as the rumors are credible enough.

The research of Lingge master also aroused Xia Houyan's interest.

"Look, my lord, this passage records the retreat of the God of War..." The master of spiritual songs pointed to the mysterious and complicated ancient text on the wall while comparing the manuscript in his hand and said, "...it should be written by the apostle of the God of War. record of."

Xia Houyan squeezed his chin, looked up at the ancient writing on the wall, and let out a "huh".

According to the little historical knowledge he learned in the school city, according to the legend, in the ancient times before the barren era, there used to be many gods who fought endlessly on the continent of Haven, but they all died in the end. Lost to the Supreme Holy Spirit in the so-called "Battle of the Gods".

According to mainland legends, the supreme holy god who won the battle of the gods first wore a ring of thorns and grass to pay for the sins of human beings in the mainland, and then judged the gods according to their words and deeds: all good gods, for example, are said to be magicians. All the elemental gods from the source were included in the Pantheon by the God of War and have been believed by humans for generations; while all evil gods such as the God of Death and the God of Plague were punished and sealed by the God of War, and their power was also listed as taboo.

The end of the "War of the Gods" and the complete collapse of the Great Elf Empire, these two simultaneous historical events not only announced the beginning of the Barren Era, but also the beginning of the "Mythical Era" with the rule of the Elven Empire as its core feature. Since then, the manifestations of the gods from all walks of life have gradually decreased until they almost disappeared in the past one or two hundred years.

Now, in the eyes of most people in the empire, the so-called "Battle of the Gods" and those distant myths and legends are nothing more than stories used to lull children to sleep. Although the public generally believes in the existence of gods, most of them are just a kind of spiritual sustenance And the idols for worship, no one really thinks that the existence of gods will affect their real life;

In the past few years, the so-called "truth faction" innovative magicians even clamored that "the gods are dead", trying to separate the source of elemental power from the illusory gods, until the leader of the "truth faction" Friedrich William, it is said that he was personally burned to death by the god of flame Merleone, which awakened the general public's faint memory of gods;

And even the Supreme Church of the Empire, which worships the Supreme Holy God, has gradually become secularized over the long years. Not only is its power shrinking day by day, but its internal corruption and depravity are also becoming more and more serious. Rather than winning the battle of gods, they are more concerned about how much tithes they can collect from believers next year.

All these things made Xia Houyan, an outsider from the earth, not lack of interest in the unsubstantiated "Battle of the Gods" since his time travel. The heroic deeds about the Supreme Holy God and other gods were all treated as fairy tales.

However, the "Spring of Rock Creek City" a few months ago severely damaged the world view of Xiahou officials:

Because the "black priest" Bartholomew de Hash, who claims to be a "believer of the god of death", actually dug out a leg of the god of death that was sealed by the Supreme Holy Spirit from the underground of Rock Creek Castle!
And the reason why this fake "God's Remains" can reappear in the world seems to have something to do with the big brother Yan Wang who traveled from the earth to the Sea Wen Continent through the stars and seas...

Since then, Xia Houyan has consciously paid more attention to the information about the gods of this world—probably because of a pure, transmigration intuition. become crucial.

And after entering the Temple of Blood, after Calvino Spiritual Master discovered the remains of the God of War on the wall, Xia Houyan also immediately condescended, and in his free time other than resurrecting zombies, he joined the team of several elf mages scientific research team.

The reason why Xia Houyan was interested was that the God of War believed by the federal orcs was considered an anomaly among the various gods in the Haven Continent.

Even the moon god believed by the demons and some moon elves participated in the tragic "battle of the gods" in the legend, and the moon god was also judged as "no good and no evil" in the trial of the Supreme Holy God. "Evil", was neither sealed and punished, nor included in the pantheon of the empire, but was expelled from the human belief system, and has since become the patron saint of the demons;
But the God of War, who is only believed by the orcs, seems to have evaporated from the gods, and has never appeared in any myths about the "Battle of the Gods". He and his nine apostles seem to be in harmony with the Supreme Holy God and A parallel line that has nothing to do with other mainland gods, only left countless legends among the orc people for future generations to talk about.

It wasn't until the end of the story that the God of War disappeared into the nature and wilderness after leaving a few proverbs, so light that he hardly took away a cloud.

This is truly a strange thing—now, the glorious federation established by the orcs is the ruler of the mainland with the human empire and the demons and demons, but the god of war they believe in has never had any intersection with other gods... …

For a continent that once experienced the so-called "Mythological Era", this is a bit too weird.

However, Calvino Spirit Master, who was placed high hopes by the lord and tried to unravel the smoke of history, has not found much these days.

According to the careful identification of the master of spiritual songs, most of the inscriptions on the walls of the Temple of Blood are some mottos left by the God of War, such as "If someone hits your left cheek, use your right fist to beat it up" and so on. nonsense.

It wasn't until this morning that the master of spiritual songs led his apprentices to read through the other world QQ signature files one by one, and finally found some ancient records related to history on a wall at the end of the hall.

The master of spiritual songs stood beside the lord, squinting his eyes, identifying the ancient orc writing on the wall and said:
"Hmm...here is the record about God of War's return to the wilderness. Proverbs...proverbs...proverbs...huh? My lord, it's a bit interesting...except for the legacy of God of War, which is well known to everyone in the mainland, this wall seems to have records More content, I've never heard of it before..."

Alice on the side blinked and said:
"Eliott, master of spiritual songs... This wall seems to have been covered by a large red cloth by the shamans of the temple... We only tore the red cloth when we were cleaning the hall of the temple two days ago come down."

The master of spiritual songs shuddered when he heard the words: "That means that the shamans of the Blood Temple did not want the orcs who worshiped the God of War to see this record easily..."

Xia Houyan's eyes lit up immediately, and he whistled:
"Good guy, a piece of red cloth! Master, please tell me what is written on the wall. Today we want to see why these orc shamans blindfolded their eyes and the sky like this!"
