Chapter 545 "Fight For The Empire!"
The Sinner army's camp stretched for dozens of miles, and there was still a steady stream of reinforcements coming from behind.
On the four-wheeled wooden carts, the dwarves sat on the high piles of supplies and shouted at the Orcs pushing the carts below.
They were naturally short and short-legged, so they weren't good at running or traveling long distances. Moreover, the dwarves were the most precious craftsmen in the Sinner army, which was why they had such comfortable privileges.
The Sinner army's camp had been mostly completed. The tall wooden walls were made of sturdy wood, and there were even brackets at the back. It was as if these fellows weren't invading, but defending instead.
More supplies were being transported from the rear. The Divine Mountain, which was once the frontline of defense of the human world, had been continuously mined for three years under the command of the dwarves. Almost half of the mountain had been turned into iron ore, which had been turned into armor for the Sinner army, weapons for their hands, arrowheads for their crossbows, and so on.
In addition to their excellent craftsmanship, the dwarves also had a talent for digging holes! There seemed to be no place in the world that they couldn't dig holes in. Behind the Sinner army's camp, groups of dwarves arrived. These fellows, whose gender couldn't be distinguished from their appearance, swarmed forward, grabbed their own strange tools, and began to dig under several small hills.
The dwarves shouted excitedly, praising how soft the land of the human world was, and how delightful it was to dig.
The dwarves didn't like to live in tents, so they dug out a large number of caves under the small hills. This work wasn't done by the clumsy Orcs, but by the dwarves themselves.
From the looks of it, the Sinner army seemed to be treating this place as a permanent camp and had no desire to attack.
"How much longer do we have to wait?!"
In the largest tent of the Sinner Army, the huge Tiger-Beastman roared angrily.
As one of the three giants of the orcs, Bronze Tiger did not have many clansmen. In fact, he had even fewer clansmen than the Wolf Clan. However, almost all of his clansmen were elite orc warriors with the strongest combat strength.
Bronze Tiger paced around the tent impatiently as he gritted his teeth.
On the other hand, the other big shot, Domines of the Werewolf Clan, had been looking outside quietly. His expression was calm and composed, as if he was daydreaming.
"When is that elf coming out? Are we going to wait here until the end of this autumn, and then wait until the end of this winter?! "The giant rock, the rhinoceros monster, also spoke.
It looked at Bronze Tiger and suddenly said in a low voice, "Maybe we can attack first! Now we are in the human world! In front of him were those despicable and filthy humans! We don't need the power of the elves anymore! Why do we orcs have to listen to that elf's orders?! "
"Because if it weren't for Luo Xue, we wouldn't have defeated the Dragons so easily! There was no way to break the Ice Field's magic array! If it weren't for Luoxue's wisdom, we would still be in our old home. Everyone would kill each other and kill each other for tens of thousands of years! Just to fight for such a pitiful amount of benefits! " Domines suddenly spoke. His eyes were still looking outside as he said coldly, "We need the help of the elves, and we need Luoxue's wisdom even more."
"Domines, I think you should just cut off your wolf tail, put on two long ears, and become an elf!" Rock mocked in disdain. "You probably forgot that the blood flowing in your body is beast blood! Hmph, do you think you'll become noble just because you interact with those elves all day long and listen to Luoxue's orders? You stupid wolf! "
A trace of fierceness flashed through Domines' wolf eyes. He said fiercely, "Rock, if you use such words to insult me again, I will fight you!"
"Enough!" Copper Tiger's brain was a little more agile than that stupid cow's. The "King" pattern on his forehead twisted together. He glanced at Domines, and said in a negotiating tone, "You are the leader of the werewolves. You have the obligation to contribute your strength to the orcs. Domines, don't forget that we made an oath in front of the statue of the great Orc God before we came here."
"But I also said that I will only listen to Luoxue's orders." Domines did not budge an inch. "Bronze Tiger, unless your intelligence is higher than Luoxue's or your strength is stronger than Luoxue's?"
Bronze Tiger did not speak. Even though he was a ferocious leader of the Tiger Clan, he also understood that even though he had reached the level of a Saint Level warrior, he was far from being the Elf King's opponent. As for intelligence and intelligence … the orcs never had this talent.
"I know, I am an orc! But I also know that if we want to succeed and defeat the large number of humans, we must have a wise leader to command us! And I think that only the Elf King has this ability, so I will only listen to Luoxue's orders. " Domines stood up and looked coldly at the other two leaders. "You should have heard my words very clearly! Previously, I was willing to send out the Wolf Cavalry to scout the terrain because that was the plan the Elf King set a long, long time ago. I can have my clansmen contribute, and I have completed my mission! Therefore, before I receive the Elf King's next order, I will not let my clansmen rashly take another step forward. "
After speaking, the leader of the Wolf Clan did not look at the other two leaders and walked out of the tent without looking back.
The remaining Rhinoceros and Ferocious Tiger glanced at each other. Rhinoceros suddenly snorted coldly. "Sometimes, I really want to kill this orc traitor."
"Even if we kill him, we won't be able to command the Wolf Cavalry." Bronze Tiger suddenly sighed. His tone was somewhat anxious. "There is one thing that I agree with that Luoxue. To defeat the humans, we need cavalry."
"But … what is that Luoxue doing?! Ever since that terrifying human powerhouse came, he actually took the initiative to invite that human into the palace that the elves view as a sacred place … Damn it! In the past, even if we went, they wouldn't even let us take a step closer! "
"How many days has it been … that annoying elf and that human … I heard that they haven't come out of that palace. Hmph … "Bronze Tiger's tone was somewhat unfriendly." When we set off this time, not a single one of those stubborn elves was willing to come. They're still guarding their base under the Sacred Mountain! What is it doing with that human in there? "
"Don't ask me. I've never been able to guess the minds of those elves." Rock suddenly shrunk his neck and his voice was somewhat dejected. "But that human is indeed powerful …"
What were Luoxue and Bai Hechou doing?
No one knew.
Even the noble elders of the Elf Tribe didn't know about it.
In the proud Elf Tribe, Luo Xue had long left a deep impression on the entire tribe. Almost all of the Elf Tribe worshipped this incomparably beautiful and incomparably powerful Queen. Every word of the Elven King was like an imperial edict to the Elven Race!
It could even be said that Luoxue was the most powerful and prestigious king that had appeared in the elven race in the past ten thousand years! In previous generations, the elders of the race could still restrict the king's power. But with the appearance of this incomparably stunning king, even the elders of the race had to obey this king unconditionally!
Ever since Luoxue brought Bai Hechou into the Elf Temple that day, not a single elf dared to raise the slightest objection to this breaking of the rules and traditions — this in itself was already a very miraculous thing! After all, the elves were famous for their stubbornness and respect for traditions!
Therefore, in the past few months, the Elf King and that human had not taken a single step out of the temple! And all the elders of the elven race did not dare to leave! The elders had built their own houses around the Holy Temple and were waiting quietly.
When the three years were up and the dragon blood finally corroded the magic array on the ice field, the sinner army could not wait to set off. But because their king had not walked out of the temple and did not issue a single order, all the elves refused to leave!
In the elven base under the Sacred Mountain, all the elves still lived their lives as before. They did not even have a trace of doubt because everyone seemed to firmly believe that their king must have his reasons for doing this! And that reason must be intelligent and farsighted!
Therefore, they were willing to wait indefinitely for the day their king walked out of the temple! No matter how long they had to wait!
But … Bai Hechou and Luoxue had stayed in the temple for a few months. What were they doing?!

"Your Highness, why did you come all the way from the palace to find me?" Du Wei looked at Princess Louise with a smile.
The coachman's seat was empty. In order to have a private talk with Du Wei, the princess had already sent her subordinates away. At this moment, several people who looked like palace guards stood in the distance around the carriage.
"I encountered something that I don't know how to deal with. This matter makes me very worried and scared." Princess Louise's tone was very depressed and anxious. In her soft voice, there was a trace of pleading. "Du Wei, I can't even see Hussain now. I don't know who to talk to."
Duwei sighed, feeling a bit guilty in his heart.
In order to protect the Griffin's secret, he sent Hussain to a secret manor in the south of the imperial capital. Only with Paladin guarding there could Du Wei rest assured that his secret would not be discovered by anyone from the outside world.
But this way, Hussain would be far away from the imperial capital and would not have a chance to see the princess. For a couple in love, being separated for a long time must be very painful.
"What exactly happened?" Du Wei asked straightforwardly. "Your Highness, I will do my best to help you. After all, you are Hussain's future wife, and he is one of my most trusted friends. "
Louise's face was filled with faint fear, but she suddenly closed her mouth. It was as if she was hesitating about whether she should say it or not.
Looking at this beautiful girl's expression, Du Wei could not help but laugh. His eyes subconsciously swept over the princess's slender waist and abdomen, and he made a look of surprise. "Heavens! Your Highness, you … you can't be pregnant, right?! "
"Pregnant?" The princess was stunned for a moment, her face blank.
But then she noticed Du Wei's hateful gaze, and Louise immediately understood. Her pretty face was immediately flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Du Wei. If not for her bearing and etiquette, she would have long wanted to strangle Du Wei to death!
"You! What nonsense are you talking about?! "Louise was both embarrassed and angry, but she quickly clarified." What kind of woman do you think I am?! Hussain and I haven't … "
At this point, Louise was so embarrassed that she could not say a word.
"Oh? Don't tell me you haven't? "Du Wei smiled evilly.
"Of course not!!" The princess angrily blurted out. "Hussain respects me a lot! He's not the kind of man to mess around! "
Pfft.
Du Wei could not help but laugh. He leaned against the seat in the carriage without caring about his image and hugged his stomach. He sighed in his heart. Heavens … I spent so much effort to bring you two together. You two are a single man and a single woman, loving each other to death. One won't marry anyone else, and the other won't marry anyone else. You even lived in the same courtyard for a few months, and now you're still pure? Looks like I have to teach Hussain, that stone man, a lesson! Women are not meant to be respected, they are meant to be loved!!
"Du Wei! You, you bastard! " Although Princess Louise did not know what Du Wei was thinking with that evil look in his eyes, she knew that it must be something unspeakable. She could not help but angrily shout. If this matter was not so important, she would have kicked Du Wei off the carriage in anger.
Pausing for a moment, the princess clenched her fists tightly and lowered her voice. "This matter, is, is related to my brother."
When she said the word 'brother', a trace of sadness and hesitation flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Du Wei immediately stopped smiling and sat up straight. He did not dare to laugh anymore.
"It was a matter of more than ten days ago … …" The princess' eyes drooped. Under her long eyelashes, there was worry in her eyes. "I occasionally went to my brother's place and wanted to talk to him. As a result, I smelled a smell of medicine in his room … … I suspect that my brother might be sick."
Du Wei's heart moved. He could not help but think of the possibility that he had thought of before … … However, he still maintained a calm expression and slowly said, "The Regent has not practiced martial arts since he was young. He only likes magic. I'm afraid that his body is relatively weak among the past emperors. It's not a big deal for him to have some minor illnesses."
"No, it's not a minor illness." Princess Louise's voice was not loud, but her tone was very certain!
She shook her head gently, and there was a trace of struggle in her expression. "When I was taking care of Hussain in the Northwest, I personally took care of his medicine for the next few months. That Green Robed Old Magician taught me many formulas for magic potions. Although I don't know magic, I don't understand a lot of the principles. However, after a few months, some of the formulas for magic potions, as well as the effects of some magic potions, I have already memorized them. Most of Hussain's medicine was personally brewed by me. Now, I don't need to look at many of the medicines. I can recognize them just by smelling them. "
Du Wei smiled. "En, that old man also told me in private that you are actually very talented."
The princess did not show any joy at this praise. She still had a worried look on her face. "That day, when I was in my brother's room, I smelled that smell. Although I could not recognize the others, there was one smell that I could not be more familiar with! That smell was … … Ice Berry! "
Du Wei's heart fiercely jumped!
"I know. Ice Berry can be used to relieve pain." Louise sighed sadly. "When I was in the Northwest, I was most familiar with this medicine. This was also the first thing I learned. However, you and that Green Robed Old Magician warned me not to take too much of this thing. Therefore, when I first treated Hussain's injuries, I only gave him a very small amount of Ice Berry. However, the smell I smelled in my brother's room was clearly very strong. In other words, he must have used a lot of Ice Berry. "
Du Wei thought for a moment. His voice was still very calm. "That doesn't mean anything. Aside from relieving pain, Ice Berry also has other uses. "
"Are you talking about using it as a hallucinogen for fun?" The princess looked at Du Wei and then firmly shook her head. "I know my brother! He lives a very disciplined life. Ever since he came to power, he has never been greedy for pleasure. He has never touched things like hallucinogens! "
"Perhaps the magician who treated him and prepared the medicine was too mediocre and used the wrong amount." Du Wei was still carefully looking for other possibilities.
"My brother is the Regent. With his status, there is only one person in the palace who can decide on his medicine, and that is the chief magician of the palace." Louise shook her head. "Although I don't understand magic, I know that as the chief magician, his ability can't be too bad."
Then, she sighed faintly. "I didn't think much of it at the time. I just casually asked if he was feeling unwell. There was a smell of medicine in the room. My brother's reaction at the time wasn't strange. He just said that he wasn't feeling well and that he had caught a cold … However, this question exposed a flaw. He thought that I was the kind of person who didn't know anything about magic medicine. He didn't expect that I had learned a lot in the few months I was in the Northwest. Although he hid it very well, I knew that if he had caught a cold, there was no way he would use Ice Berry! "
"Yes, there was no need." Du Wei's tone gradually became serious.
"I didn't dare to ask him much. However, in the next few days, I consciously went to look for him. Every time, I would smell a faint smell in his study or his room. Others might not be able to smell it, but I firmly remembered it. In other words, it has been so many days, and he hasn't stopped taking Ice Berries! "
Du Wei suddenly interrupted Princess Louise. "But ten days ago, I went to the palace and saw the Regent in his study. At that time, his room didn't have …"
Du Wei wanted to express that if there was such a smell, with his ability, it was impossible for him not to smell it. However, he suddenly remembered something.
It seemed that when he went to see the Regent that day, all the windows in his study were open, and there was a strong smell of incense burning!
Then, there was only one answer: The Regent knew that he was very accomplished in magic medicine, so he deliberately … hid it from him?!
"I've been worried for the past few days, so I couldn't help but ask some of the guards I'm familiar with about my brother's recent situation in private. I didn't get any questions from the guards, and they didn't notice anything. But just as I was about to dispel my doubts, I accidentally learned something from one of the guards. "
Louise's voice suddenly trembled. "That guard casually told me that my brother's mood wasn't very good recently. Everyone is very nervous around him because a few days ago, Big Brother has already executed three or four of his personal attendants for some very small reasons … So, I think … "
Speaking of this, Louise suddenly couldn't bear it and shut her mouth.
Du Wei sighed and slowly said, "So, you thought that the Regent's personal attendants might have accidentally discovered something, so your brother killed them to silence them, right? But you didn't want to accept the fact that your brother killed people to silence them, so … I can understand your feelings. "
Louise's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she was about to cry. Her voice trembled as she said, "I know, I'm not a smart girl. But, as a member of the royal family, I still know some basic things … My brother suddenly gave the throne to little Charlie. I already had some suspicions about this matter. And now, knowing about my brother's body, it's very likely … very likely … All these things added together, I can't help but have my suspicions."
She looked at Du Wei, her voice somewhat pleading. "Du Wei, I don't know what to do about this matter. These days, these things have been tormenting me. I don't know who to tell. Moreover, if this matter was true, then this secret could not be casually leaked out! I … I … I thought about it. Since I can't find Hussain, I can only find you first. "
Du Wei nodded and suddenly said, "Your Highness, you … trust me so much? I mean, if this matter is true, then this secret can't be revealed! Especially at a time like this! "
"I trust you!" Louise said slowly, "Hussain said that you are the person he trusts the most. He trusts you. Then, I'm his woman, and I trust you too! "
Before Du Wei got off the carriage, he warned Louise not to say or do anything about this matter. Before the matter was clear, she shouldn't do anything.
As for Princess Louise, after telling Du Wei about this matter, it was as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders. The burden that had been tormenting her for days was now transferred to Du Wei's shoulders, making the girl a lot more relaxed.
After sending Miss Osie to the carriage and leaving with Princess Louise, Du Wei turned around. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
His expression became extremely gloomy!

"According to the humans we captured, it's now August … and this is the warmest month of the year." Bronze Tiger looked at Rhino, "So, if we continue to wait, the weather will get colder and colder, and the food consumption will be too fast."
"What do you think?" Rhino's eyes were shining.
"That human defense line … they have obviously withdrawn all their resources to the south. As long as we can break through this defense line and rush to the south, we will have everything we need! Food, weapons, land! At that time, we won't have to listen to the elves' orders! We will rush to the south, take back our ancestral land, and rebuild our Orc Kingdom! "
"Very good." Rhino stood up and clapped his paw with Bronze Tiger, "We won't wait anymore, let's attack first!"

The twenty days that General Rostock and his subordinates had set weren't over yet. Finally, the enemy below the city walls made a move first!
On this morning, the empire's soldiers guarding the city walls noticed the strange movements in the enemy's camp in the distance!
When the first rays of the morning sun shone down, several huge wooden doors in the large wooden walls in the distance fell down with a loud bang!
Then, a group of sturdy ox warriors ran out of the camp gate. They held huge black ox horns in their hands, puffed up their cheeks, and blew with all their might!
Amidst the sonorous bugle horns, a series of low roars like muffled thunder came from the sinners' army. Then, several black torrents rushed out of the doors!
Black iron armor, long swords that glinted with cold light! Teams of orcs quickly arranged themselves in formation in the distant wilderness. One black square formation after another was quickly arranged!
At this time, huge catapults were pushed out from the camp gate one after another! The trebuchets made of giant wood were wrapped in thick layers of animal hides, and there were pulleys installed at the bottom that could be pushed. Beneath each trebuchet, there were dozens of orcs wearing the toughest and heaviest armor!
In the cold morning weather, those orcs breathed out hot air from their mouths, and with a loud cry, they pushed the catapults out of the camp gate with all their might!
At this time, in the middle of the orcs' formation, a crude and huge flag made of animal skin was raised high!
Seeing that flag, countless orcs roared and shouted. They pounded their chests with all their might, and used the large swords in their hands to beat their shields. Their voices soared to the sky!
"They're attacking! They're attacking! "
The officer on the city walls immediately turned around and shouted at the top of his voice, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, get on the city walls! "
On this side of the city walls, the highest ranking officer on duty today was Milo. He stepped on the city wall and coldly looked at the enemy in the distance. Then, he pulled out his long sword and raised it high. With a deep and mighty voice, he roared, "Prepare for battle! Soldiers! Fight for the empire! "
His metal armor reflected the light of the sun. The first ray of sunlight shone on the city wall and fell on his body. Under the general's dignified command, his whole body glowed with the sunlight!
Below the walls, squads of fully armed soldiers of the Empire ran up from the parapet wall. They got into a tight formation and gripped their weapons tightly.
"Fight for the empire!" General Milo roared loudly.
"Fight for the empire!" On the city walls, countless humans shouted in unison!
A great war was about to begin!
(Everyone, the enemy is ferociously chasing us. They've chased us for more than 200 votes in one day! It's the last few days of the month. We can't lose at the last moment! Friends who still have monthly votes, please vote for me! Let's go!
Tomorrow's update is a great war!)
