It was a dark night. There were not many clouds in the sky, but there were not many stars.
Yellow Sand City, which was lit with countless torches on the city walls, was now in a state of alert. The orcs guarding the city walls saw a shadow in the distance. Something was moving under the cover of night.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Quick! Go and inform Lord Gan Xie! "
More and more orc soldiers appeared on the wall. After a while, an exceptionally tall orc appeared on the wall. It was the Demon General Gan Xie who was stationed in Yellow Sand City.
"Lord Gan Xie! There seems to be an enemy in the west! "
His subordinate said anxiously.
The tall Gan Xie stood on the wall. He was taller than the other orcs. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
Boom!
A sound similar to a cannonball being fired came from afar. The soldiers stationed on the city wall all became alert. All of them raised their heads. In the hazy sky, there seemed to be something drawing an arc and leaping over their heads.
"Long-range attack?"
Gan Xie was stunned. The orcs around him had the same reaction.
"Hahaha!"
"Are these guys stupid?"
"Could it be Ze Ba's army again?"
"Hahaha!"
The laughter of the orcs came from the wall. Gan Xie also laughed because the defense of Yellow Sand City was not weaker than human cities. At such a long distance, how could this little firepower break through their defense? This was simply playing house. It was obvious that they had never fought in a war before.
However, the army that came from the west today made Gan Xie somewhat concerned. It felt an uncomfortable feeling in its heart. Ze Ba, although he was a thorn in Gan Xie's side, he had to admit that he was good at leading troops. He had won many battles. Among the Demon Generals under Will Decai, he was the best at strategy. He should not do such a meaningless thing. Could it be that he had other intentions?
"This may be harassment. Little ones, don't be too excited. Those who should sleep, sleep, and those who should work, work!" Gan Xie suddenly said. Suddenly, the laughter stopped. The orcs all looked at this terrifying superior.
"Yes! Lord! "
Gan Xie did not stay on the wall for long. He quickly returned to his palace. Perhaps because he was too concerned about something, he did not return to his bedroom. Instead, he went to the dark and damp dungeon.
The dungeon reeked of blood and iron, and the groans of the prisoners could be heard.
The orc soldiers guarding the entrance of the dungeon were dozing off. Suddenly, they heard footsteps and slowly opened their eyes. When they saw the orc in front of them, the two soldiers showed a terrified expression.
"Lord Gan Xie! You! You … "
"Is it willing to speak?"
Gan Xie didn't punish these two beastmen.
"That … not yet. That guy is very stubborn."
One of the orc soldiers said nervously. Both of them had their hands tightly pressed against their bodies, their shoulders shrunk, and their heads lowered. It was as if they were afraid that the other party would eat them.
Gan Xie didn't say anything and directly entered the dungeon.
In the deepest cell in the corner, a long-toothed orc covered in bruises had its hands tied with iron chains. Its entire body was suspended in the air. With a squeak, it slowly opened its exhausted eyes.
A figure that made it fearful appeared in front of it.
"Kill, kill me!"
Gan Xie laughed mockingly as Bru squeezed out these words.
"What? You can't even stand this much? "
"I … One day … will kill, kill you."
Blue glared at Gan Xie with resentment, but Gan Xie didn't care. It moved a small stool over and sat down. It looked at Blue with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Not bad. I don't hate a kid like you. It's a pity that you took the wrong path and followed the wrong person."
"Bah, good. Be, be Will Kai's … lackey!"
Gan Xie snorted and said, "Is that so? Colluding with other races to invade us orcs is so glorious? "
Hearing this, Blue's eyes widened a little.
"Oh! This expression, hehe, you were kept in the dark. I was wondering why Ze Ba let an inexperienced kid like you take the lead. "
Gan Xie shook its head as it spoke. Bru was very angry when Gan Xie stopped talking halfway.
"What did you say! Lord Ze Ba, Lord Ze Ba, it … "
"What do you know? Speaking of which, do you know Ze Bar? Don't you find it strange? As a Demon General, why would he betray the Orc King and help you who are struggling at death's door? Do you really think that you can go against Sir Will Kai with just your people? "
Gan Xie raised his hand and pointed at his temple with his right index finger.
"Kid, think here. It won't do you any harm."
"What do you know! The old Orc King is the true Orc! Will Kai is only a despicable person! He's destroying the Orcs! You're the one who doesn't understand! "
Bru suddenly cursed like a madman. Gan Xie chuckled.
"True Orc? You believe this kind of excuse? Look, what's the status of the Orcs now? We're on par with the Dragons and we're stepping on the Humans! True Orc? That old thing that was scared shitless by the Humans? Bah! "
Gan Xie stood up. The entire cell seemed to be filled with it. It gave Blue a sense of oppression.
"Orcs only follow the strong. You don't even understand this, and you're talking about being true. Orcs don't have true Orcs! Only the strong! "
It shouted at Blue.
Blue didn't say anything.
"Let me tell you, kid. Ze Ba defected to the other races. You've been used. Think about where your food came from. Did Ze Ba give it to you?" Gan Xie asked, but Blue didn't say anything. His face was tense as he glared at Gan Xie.
"It's useless if you don't say anything. I've already seen it and know what it's doing. You fools have been kept in the dark. I've been wondering how Ze Ba could get so much food. It's because it betrayed the Orcs! It's the scum of the Orcs. "
"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult Lord Ze Ba! "
Suddenly, the chains made a jingling sound. Blue revealed a ferocious expression as he struggled. Red blood flowed out of the wounds on his body.
"Oh! What a temper. I'm telling the truth. I've already seen the army of the other races. They were able to come here so easily because of your 'contributions'. "
"Shut up! Ze Ba isn't the kind of person you think he is. He's reinforcements. He's here to defeat his lackey allies! "Blue roared.
Gan Xie's expression changed, but the smile on his face didn't disappear. He pretended that he didn't care and continued, "Allies? Heh, that's nice to hear. Ze Ba told you that right? I guess you haven't seen this so-called ally before. You heard it all from Ze Ba, right? "
"So what? We're not fools! Lord Bu Keluo already has a plan. As long as we take down this city, we won't need any allies! Even if Ze Ba is a spy, we can … "
Halfway through his words, Blue suddenly shut his mouth.
"You're tricking me again!"
He said after he reacted.
Gan Xie's mouth curved slightly and said, "Tricking you? You're thinking too much. You don't know anything. You're just an idiot who thinks you're smart. Let me tell you, if this place falls, Yellow Sand City won't be yours! It's the mastermind behind Ze Ba. You guys are just pitiful cannon fodder. "
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cell.
"But that kind of thing won't happen. I'll kill everyone together with Ze Ba."
Gan Xie revealed a frightening smile and left the prison cell, leaving behind a self-doubting Bru.
As soon as he left the dungeon, he said to the soldiers guarding the door, "Send people to inform the other cities and clans that there are outsiders invading. They must be on guard."
"Yes!"
"Right, don't forget to write down Ze Ba's betrayal."
"Yes!!"
Just as the soldier took a step forward, another soldier came in behind him.
"Lord Gan Xie! We suspect that we've been attacked by the enemy. "
Hearing this, Gan Xie was confused.
"What's going on?"
"There's some strange rain in the city. We, we suspect that it's an enemy attack."
The soldier stammered.
"Idiot! You don't even know if it's an attack. What's the use of having you! "
Gan Xie scolded and then walked out in large strides. Just as he walked out of the door, he suddenly felt something cold fall on his face. It was sticky, as if it wasn't ordinary rain.
"Lord Gan Xie!"
The surrounding beastmen soldiers surrounded him.
"Calm down! What are you afraid of! The barrier can block all attacks. This is probably the enemy's way of forcing us out. Don't worry! "
Gan Xie shouted.
"Yes!!"
At this time, outside the city.
The Mother Empress yawned and came to the Demon King's side.
"Is this kind of attack really useful? Isn't it much easier to just charge in? "
Boom!!
The catapult let out a loud sound. The Demon King shook his head.
"If that's the case, the city will probably be riddled with holes. We won't have time to repair the city."
He turned around and looked at the rows of catapults.
"Don't worry, we'll see the results in four or five days."
Boom!
The catapult let out another loud sound, and the large wooden barrel was thrown out. It flew a long distance and finally landed in the sky above the city. It was completely blocked by a transparent wall. The wooden barrel instantly shattered, and the things inside flew out like water splashing into the city.
… …
The next day, the Demon King led the army and appeared on the horizon.
"It's the army of the outsiders! Defend the south gate! "
"The beastmen army appeared at the north gate!"
"Are they allies?"
"No! It's Ze Ba's army! "
"Quick! Increase the manpower at the south gate! "
The beastmen in the city reacted very quickly, and the army was very orderly. Gan Xie sat on the wolf chair and closed his eyes to rest. However, the Demon King and Ze Ba's army only appeared for a while, patrolling as if they were taking a stroll, and then disappeared from the beastmen's sight.
What were these people doing?
Gan Xie closed his eyes tightly.
In the afternoon, the two armies appeared again.
"Enemy! This time, it's the east! "
"Quick! Reinforcements! "
"The foreign army in the west!"
"Reinforcements in the west!"
The beastmen reacted very quickly.
The evening sun shone in the hall. Gan Xie opened his eyes and revealed a suspicious expression.
Could it be that Ze Ba wanted to launch a surprise attack and attack the weakest place?
That would be too stupid. Was Ze Ba such a stupid person?
Suddenly, Gan Xie frowned.
"Men!"
"Lord Gan Xie!"
"Have you received any letters from the other clans?"
"Reporting to Lord, we haven't seen any messenger eagles today." The subordinate replied.
Gan Xie rubbed his chin and frowned.
Did they block our information? Did they want to fight a war of attrition?
The food reserves in the city could last for a month. Gan Xie didn't think that they could walk around the beastman king's territory for a month.
"Lord Gan Xie, why didn't we fight back?"
The subordinate finally couldn't help but ask.
Gan Xie showed an unhappy expression.
"You want to say that I'm a coward?"
"No, no, no! Lord Gan Xie, I definitely didn't mean that! "
Gan Xie stood up directly and grabbed the beastman's neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Then what do you mean!?"
"I … I …"
The beastman soldier struggled for a moment, then his hands fell down powerlessly. Gan Xie then realized that he used too much strength and strangled him to death.
He let go of his hand. The beastman soldier's neck had already changed shape.
Gan Xie gritted his teeth and realized that he was so annoyed now. His heart couldn't calm down.
Why was it like this?
Gan Xie took a deep breath.
This was probably because he couldn't guess what the opponent was doing. Moreover, the opponent was that hateful Ze!
On the third day, the situation changed a little.
"Lord Gan Xie!"
A soldier hurriedly ran in.
"The enemy is attacking?"
Gan Xie immediately raised his spirit.
"Lord, the enemy still hasn't made any movements. However, there's a situation at the granary."
The soldier said with a face full of sweat.
Granary?
Gan Xie showed a surprised expression. Could it be that the enemy's spy had already infiltrated this city?
"What happened to the granary? Was it destroyed? Was it burned? Or was it poisoned? "
"No, Lord, the granary didn't have any damage. However, the food inside has obviously decreased."
Hearing this, Gan Xie couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and quickly rushed out.
Yellow Sand City's granary. There were a total of sixteen round stone buildings arranged in four rows. Each granary was independent. Even if one of the granaries was on fire, it wouldn't affect the other granaries.
He thought that the heavily guarded granary wouldn't have any accidents. However …
Gan Xie came to the front of the sixteen granaries. The guards all showed a panicked expression.
"Lord, Lord, you came at the right time. This is not good!"
The manager of the granary quickly came forward.
"Get out of the way!"
Gan Xie pushed him aside and walked to one of the granaries. He bent down and stretched out his right hand. He held the door handle with one hand. With a boom, he actually lifted the door that weighed a few thousand pounds.
When he saw that the food inside the granary could be seen to the bottom, his eyes widened.
Boom!
Gan Xie turned around and opened another door. Although there was still food inside, it was obviously much less. There was less than a sixth of it left.
"What happened? Where's the food? "
He felt that something was wrong. The inside was as the soldier said. There was no damage at all.
"This … I also don't know …"
"Trash!"
With a slap, Gan Xie slapped the orc manager to death. He angrily turned around and looked at the guards who didn't dare to raise their heads. He roared:
"A bunch of trash! You actually let someone steal food in front of your eyes! Investigate clearly! If you can't find the culprit, I'll use your flesh as food! "
