Heart of the Castle

Chapter 499 The death of the shaman, the conclusion of a peace treaty

Hearing Kalmos' inquiry, the old orc lightly patted the handrail of the sedan chair, and the four orc warriors immediately lowered their bodies so that the sedan chair landed in the middle of the tent, facing the Wakao throne far away.

"Peace, the orcs need it. But the orcs can grab it with both hands, instead of waiting for the gift of weak humans!" The Grades shaman completely denied the decision made by Kalmos as soon as he opened his mouth. "When victory is within easy reach, why do we still have to sign that empty letter? We still have to humbly join hands with weak humans? We can definitely get more with giant swords and battle axes! Every inch of land in Xifeng County belongs to the orcs, villages and towns And the castle also belongs to the orcs! The orcs can make peace with humans, but let them kneel down and dedicate all the wealth in their hands to the powerful orcs!"

The voice of the great shaman Grates was deep and deep, and the volume was in line with his strong and burly body. His words echoed under the dome of the tent, rekindling the flame of greed in the eyes of many orc tribe leaders.

"Yes, orcs can rob, can rob!" Several tribal leaders echoed loudly.But there were also a few leaders who slammed their weapons on the ground while protesting loudly, "What are you robbing? Potatoes are still moldy, slaves don't want to eat them!"

"There are more than potatoes for men!" cried Ironfoot of the Hardfoot tribe.

"There is nothing more! The pigs are all gone, there is nothing left to snatch." The strong pig of the pig worshiping tribe roared back.

Hearing a lot of voices of opposition, the Great Shaman of Grades twitched his two thick eyebrows, and his face showed an angry expression that religious dictators usually show when they are refuted. "Peace given by cowards, not by orcs!" His voice drowned out all the noise.

"Yes, we don't want peace for cowards!" A tribal leader jumped up and roared loudly, whining the machete wheel in his hand, and rushed towards Li Wei.Sir Rodriguez took a step diagonally, blocking his body in front of Levi, and then unsheathed the giant iron star sword, but Karmos made a gesture, and the people sitting on both sides of the tribal leader immediately grabbed his arms and held him He was dragged back to his seat.

"Human beings, I can see the weakness and fear hidden in your heart. God Gogmaoya has given me sharp eyes to see through the deceitfulness of lies." The great shaman of Grades looked at Karmos with dissatisfied eyes With a glance, he turned to Li Wei and the others, and said word by word, "Your kingdom is besieged at home and abroad, and your front line is crumbling. You can't spare any troops to support Xifeng County, no matter how bad the battle situation here is. Orcs Great power is the last straw you want to grasp, and this straw can also become a sharp sword that cuts your throat!"

"Then whose throat is it, the orc's or the human's?" Levi retorted tit-for-tat, "For both the orcs and humans, this winter will be extremely cold, and the army of demons seems to be hanging over our heads." , a sharp sword that can be cut at any time, the only way I can think of to stop them is that the orcs and humans fight hand in hand. Orcs have roaring warriors, humans have iron knights, our iron fist is enough to resist the invasion of demons, and we aim at They punched them hard on the nose!"

"Hit it! Hit it! The devil's nose is rotten, and the orcs are laughing!" the sharp-toothed leader of the Dog Chewing Tribe hummed hoarsely, and several leaders joined him. "The devil's nose is rotten, the orcs are laughing! The devil's nose is rotten, the orcs are laughing!" The voice became louder and louder, almost filling the entire tent.

"Shut up!" The great shaman of Grades slapped the armrest of the seat with his hand, and let out a roar that pierced through the entire tent. He cast a vicious glance at the leader with sharp teeth. It is said that the power of this glance can make the grassland Withered, the well water was corrupted, the woman was pregnant, the leader of the teeth immediately shut his mouth tightly, and trembled with fear.

"Working hand in hand with weak human beings is against the will of God Gogmaoya!" The great shaman waved his hands like a pendulum to strengthen his tone, and his voice was like thunder rolling in the clouds. "Karmos is bloody and furious, do you think you can dominate everything in the orc tribe, and your decision is more important than the oracle of Gogmaoya?"

"Of course it is the incomparably powerful God Gogmaoya." Kalmos immediately replied without thinking, with a somewhat excessive sincerity in his voice. "I am just the leader of the orcs in the mortal world, and Gogmaoya is the greatest orc god in the sky! If my decision goes against the oracle of Gogmaoya, of course I am wrong."

"That's good, Kalmos' bloody rage, I thought you would be overwhelmed by arrogance. You must know that there are not only one or two Wakao who think that they are enough to challenge the majesty of the Great God Gogmaoya because of their arrogance. !They all died miserably in the end, and even their souls were shut out by the Great God, so they could only cry endlessly in the endless deep well!" The Great Shaman of Grades showed a satisfied and arrogant smile, and then he faced all the orc tribes The leader raised his arms and shouted, "God Gogmaoya will grant us miracles, I can hear his oracle descending from the sky, the kingdom belonging to the orcs will surely rise!"

"The kingdom of the orcs?" Many tribal leaders looked at each other with surprise on their faces.The giant Rody sitting next to Kalmos had a gloomy face, and then muttered, "We have no kingdom, let alone a king!" Big, "We only recognize Wakao, the Lord of Armies!"

Kalmos stood up in time before the big shaman got angry, and gestured for the giant Roddy to shut up, "Great shaman, please don't get angry, Roddy's tongue is blunt, and he didn't express himself clearly. It is even a kind of blasphemy for us to mention Kao and Gogmaoya together!"

There were no flaws in these words, so the big shaman had to look away, with a regretful expression on his face, "We will build an orc kingdom!" He said loudly to the tribal leaders in an inflammatory tone, "Listen, What a sweet name, the Kingdom of the Beastmen, how sweet it is, it belongs to our own kingdom! Shout with me, long live the God of Gogmaoya, long live the Kingdom of the Beastmen!"

Several tribal leaders then shouted loudly, while Karmos, who was sitting on the throne of Wakao, turned a little ashen. He squinted his eyes and looked at the great shaman Grates who was raising his arms and shouting, his eyes alternated. Flashes of hesitation and hatred.For a moment, Li Wei even thought that the Beast King would stand up and express his objection, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sat silently on his throne.

"God Gaogmaoya guided us to capture not only the barren Westwind County, but also the North Border County, the four southern counties, and even the entire Kingdom of Arthur! We will sit in the stone house in the city of glory and drink, and we will Graze cattle and sheep on the southern grasslands where summer never winter! No, not only that, but the whole continent, orcs will rule the world! At that time, every orc will be a wakao, and countless humans, goblins and other race slaves will be Beastman service, the foundation of the Beastman Kingdom will last forever, and it will never be moved!"

The great shaman of Grades continued to appeal loudly, every word was full of incitement, and the brutality and bloodthirsty belonging to the orcs in the chest of the tribal leader gradually replaced reason.More and more tribal leaders joined in the shouting, and the shouts of "Long live the God of Gogmaoya" and "Long live the Kingdom of the Beastmen" became louder and louder, sweeping across the tent like a huge wave, and continued to rise.

Si'er's face was originally yellow-green, but now it became as milky white as his armor, and he reached out for the smoke bombs again.This time, Mr. Dish did not stop him, because the old magician concluded from his own experience that once the brutality of the orcs is provoked, it is unstoppable. It is possible to be torn to pieces by those tribal leaders who have dazzled their heads.

"Master Li Wei, contact Yan, and prepare to break through." The old magician's urgent voice sounded in Li Wei's ears, but the Griffon Lord shook his head, looking at the spittle-spattering King Grates. shaman.A vague idea rose in his mind, and he seemed to feel that it was the key to solving the problem, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.

Only a few tribal leaders remained calm, but their loyalty to Kalmos was being shaken by increasingly powerful voices.The majesty of God Gogmaoya was hidden in those voices, making their confrontation more and more difficult.Zhuang Zhu, the leader of the Pig Worshiping Tribe, stood up hesitantly and joined in the shouting. Immediately afterwards, the iron feet of the Hardfoot Tribe also showed a shaken expression, but then the giant Rody, who was opposite him, froze in his eyes with a ferocious look. seat.

Li Wei's voice suddenly interrupted the noisy shouting, "In that case, stand up!" The young griffin lord took two steps towards the great orc shaman, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, "Grates Dasa Man, can you stand up and talk?"

The noise subsided immediately, and most of the tribal leaders looked at Li Wei in surprise. Only a few of them were still yelling "Long Live the Beastman Kingdom" with their brains too dull, and then found that there were very few responders. Look around.

"Stand up, big shaman, can't you hear me?" Li Wei continued to take a step forward, and the orc warriors on both sides of the sedan chair hurriedly blocked him, but he was swept away by the sharp gaze of the griffin lord, and immediately felt There was a tremor, and I couldn't move.

"Stand up, great shaman, raise your hands high, and show everyone the miracle that the Great God of Gogmaoya has bestowed on you!" Li Wei shouted again, his eyes fell on the orc great shaman covering his body with a thick blanket. On the tightly covered legs.The leaders of the orc tribes all closed their mouths and exchanged glances with each other.Silence descended on the tent, and nothing could be heard except heavy breathing.

"What are you talking about? Human boy, how dare you..." The Great Shaman Grates growled, while staring at Li Wei viciously, but Li Wei could read a trace of panic and panic in his eyes.So the griffin lord seized the opportunity and loudly interrupted the words that the great shaman had not had time to say.

"I said you stand up, Great Shaman Grates! As long as you stand up, I will admit that your words are reasonable! Aren't you going to grab the wealth of mankind with both hands? We are here, you stand up and take it!"

The words of the great shaman Grates choked back. He glared at Li Wei, and then grabbed the armrest of the chair with such force that his whole body trembled and his face flushed. There was a crunching crackling below.For a moment, his body seemed to be leaving the chair, but in the end the big shaman still couldn't stand up, but fell down weakly, and the purple red on his face faded, turning into a pale pale from exhaustion.

"The human lord is right, Great Shaman Grates, since you can listen to the oracle of God Gogmaoya, there is no reason for God to mutilate your body! But you can't get out of that chair!" Carl Moss seized this opportunity and stood up abruptly, his gaze swept across the audience, no tribal leader dared to meet his eyes.

"Then, is it just the divine power of God Gogmaoya, or did you, as a great shaman, make a serious mistake and have been abandoned by God Gogmaoya?" The shaman questioned his tone, and said sternly to the old orc paralyzed on the sedan chair.

"This is... this is the test of the Great God Gogmaoya..." The old orc's weak defense was drowned out by a burst of drumming, some tribal leaders cast distrustful glances, and more people roared angrily To re-elect the great shaman.The giant Roddy was particularly angry, and even left his seat and walked towards the Great Shaman Grates.

Seeing the leader of the Juyuan tribe approaching aggressively, several orc warriors carrying the big shaman looked at each other, not knowing what to do.Just when they were hesitating, Rody had already walked to the front of the sedan chair, stretched out his hands as thick as tree trunks to hold the armrests on both sides of the seat,

"The big shaman who can't stand up, we don't need it!" With the roar of the giant, Rody picked up the burly big shaman and the sedan chair effortlessly like picking up a straw , and then squeezed his arms together.

The sedan chair slammed into pieces between the folded arms, the great shaman of Grades screamed and cursed, and at the same time defended himself with Kong Wu's powerful arms. He first punched Roddy hard in the face, and then hurt into Roddy's arms.The power of the orc great shaman is quite famous throughout Eastern Gulun. Although he has been unable to stand up for several years due to severe rheumatism, his iron fist can still smash the skull of a strong bull with one blow.

However, the giant endured the violent beating as if he was unconscious, and continued to fold his arms with a grin.The scolding quickly turned into a wail, and then even the wailing became hoarse. The Great Shaman Grades no longer cared about continuing to attack Rody's unprotected face, but instead tried his best to support the giant's arms with both hands.The contest between forces only lasted for a short while, and then everyone heard the dull and suffocating groans of the Great Shaman Grates.

"Let go! I... admit defeat..."

"No way, Grady." The giant Roddy replied with a smirk, and then he retracted his arms again, and Gaba made a heart-shattering sound of bone breaking, followed by a desperate cry that seemed to come from the ground. Sighing, a stream of black blood emerged from the mouth of the great shaman Grates, and then his head dropped, and his arms lost all strength.

The giant Rody let go of his hand, and let the body of the great shaman whose spine was broken by him fall down, and then turned his head to look at Carmos.The counterattack of the Great Shaman Grates just now was not as weak as Rody's performance. The giant's face was bruised, and he tried his best to calm his violent panting, and his eyes gleamed with unquenched anger, shining like flint.

"The great shaman of Grates was arrogant and conceited, and falsely preached the oracle of the great god Gogmaoya. Now the great god has given him the loudest slap in the face with the help of the giant Rodi, and brought his soul back to the sky. Judge him for his crimes!" Kalmos declared bloody and furious, and then the tribal leaders let out cheers resounding through the tent, and no one took a second look at the body of the great shaman they had revered just now.Because in the eyes of the orcs, failure is the greatest sin, and only the victor has the right to speak. Now that Grates is dead, his authority will naturally disappear.

"Human lord, the obstacles have disappeared, and now we can talk about some more specific contracts." Karmos said to Li Wei, with an almost imperceptible sense of satisfaction in his tone. "So, who is the orc going to sign the contract with, with you? A brave human boy, or with some other fat-brained guy?"

"Lord Kalmos, since I am here to negotiate on behalf of the Kingdom of Arthur, I certainly have the right to sign a contract with you. With my status as the head of the Nine Pillars family of the Kingdom, this contract will also be recognized by the City of Glory." Li Wei said in a tone. He replied sonorously.

"Very well, I am pleased with the courage you showed." Carmos said majesticly, his eyes then became sharper, "The orcs agree to peace, and will restrain the tribes as much as possible, and will not harass human beings again. When the demon army arrives, the orc roaring warriors will fight side by side with the human armored knights. What will the human beings offer in exchange for the friendship of the orcs?"

"Lord Kalmos, peace is beneficial to both parties. Humans don't owe the orcs anything. Instead, the orcs ransacked villages and burned farmhouses, causing considerable losses to the people of Westwind County." Levi pointed out without compromise. , and then changed his tone, "In order to fight the overall situation of the evil disaster, and because the behavior of the orcs did not harm the civilians, I can choose not to pursue the atrocities of the orcs, and I can also provide some rations and supplies that the orcs need in their daily lives."

"We won't eat the potato, we won't eat it!" the giant Roddy muttered.

"Of course not potatoes, but barbecue, sausage and dairy products. Although the taste may not conform to the orc style, the quantity is guaranteed." Levi explained.

Then there was a strange whisper in the tent, and many tribal leaders showed happy expressions on their faces. The giant Rody even grinned and rubbed his stomach with his hands. "We want to be full right away, the sooner the better."

"In addition, I also hope to get the help of the orc howling warrior."

"Get help, human boy, do you need help from the orc roaring warrior?" Karmos asked calmly, and after receiving Li Wei's affirmative answer, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the orc king's mouth.

"Humans always talk so much rhetoric and nonsense, if you need help, just say no at first? Then you have to provide the orcs with weapons and armor, a batch of weapons and armor made of the best steel , in line with the usage habits of the orcs, and must be approved by all the tribal leaders here." Carmos narrowed his eyes, "Ten weapons, or two sets of chain mail, or a set of sheet metal armor, can be exchanged for a brave orc Roaring Warrior has served you for five years!"
