Ever since Kroc was resurrected by the Emperor, the lizardmen had finally ushered in an opportunity for their own revival.
After that cataclysm, the Chaos invaded, and Luscia suffered from the flames of war. Out of the dozens of cities that the lizardmen once had, only four were left. They were the First City of Itaza, the City of the Sun, the City of the Moon, Taraxlan, and the City of Mist, Slanwupec. The remaining cities were either reduced to ruins or occupied by the Skaven Ratmen or other creatures.
The lizardmen were still working hard to protect their own territory. Although many of the cities had been abandoned, there were still lizardmen troops secretly guarding them. This was because every important node of the spiritual network was built in the cities, and the spiritual network was the source of the power of the Great Guardian. However, in the invasion of the Chaos, the lizardmen had forever lost most of their important cities. Some of the ruins were forever forgotten by the lizardmen. The strength and glory of these cities in the past were also completely forgotten by the lizardmen.
Without the guidance of the ancient sages or the first generation of demon toads, the lizardmen did not know how to rebuild these temple cities. They could only work hard to rebuild the huge stones into pyramids, but they could not rebuild the spirit vein network and the incubation pool. Some of the temple cities, such as Huizatak, the City of Echo, Chakua, the birthplace of the Plague Clan, or Pahuaxia, the City of Ashes, were occupied by the lizardmen army, but they could not rebuild them. The ruins of the temple were repeatedly fought over. Sometimes they were abandoned, sometimes they were recovered. The only thing that did not change was time, and the tall and magnificent closed pyramids.
However, everything changed after the arrival of the Emperor. The Emperor used his supreme power that was enough to light up the entire galaxy to resurrect the first-generation demon toad, Master Kroc. The only surviving first-generation demon toad now knew how to rebuild the spiritual network and maintain the Great Guardian. As part of the deal, the Emperor also purified all the contaminated or abandoned incubation pools in the two cities of Itaza and Hesota. Those incubation pools that had been abandoned for thousands of years under the attack of the Chaos demons and the Skaven Ratmen could finally be used again.
Then, the Lord of Humans copied and took away most of the ancient saint technology and their long history left behind by the Lizardmen. He left Fulgen to cooperate with the Lizardmen and prepare for the final moment.
Kroc's power was so strong that it could no longer be described with words. With a flick of his finger, the sky fell and the earth cracked, and the stars fell. The lizardmen finally ushered in the moment of revival. The lizardmen who had restored the military structures attacked everywhere, trying to reclaim the abandoned cities. At present, the Golden City of Chakua, the Kouga City of Ashoto, and the Star City of Asloto, which were located in the north and east of Itaza, had been reclaimed by the lizardmen once again. This time, Kroc's wisdom and power had allowed these cities to return to the embrace of the ancient sages. The spirit vein spire and the spirit vein core had been rebuilt, and the power of the spirit vein network had begun to stabilize.
This meant that more Sram Magic Toad priests who maintained the great protection through deep sleep and meditation would be able to wake up from their slumber and free up to do something else.
Walking in the rainforest, Karim, a gold mage from Araby, looked at the dense rainforest, the mosquitoes that could pierce armor, the man-eating flowers that were larger than humans, and the ancient beasts that were constantly moving in the forest. He could not help but click his tongue in wonder. "I really want to know, Commander, how did you do it? How did you communicate with these ancient creatures?"
"When you are as strong as them and will not block their path, you may have a chance." Fulgen looked at the dark canopy of the great forest. It was impossible for ordinary people to see anything more than a few dozen meters under the cover of thousands of trees, let alone see further scenery.
What made Fulgen more interested was that a lizardman soldier called a chameleon was lying five meters away, curiously looking at the group of human soldiers. Apart from himself, no one in the five hundred human soldiers noticed that a chameleon was lying on the tropical hardwood.
It was almost on his face, but a great swordsman of the Ashes Corps still did not react.
In such an environment, humans were no different from being blind. As long as there was an ambush, no matter how many people there were, it would all be over, Fu Gen thought to himself. Not to mention, he had also seen Master Kroc in action. That kind of supernova shockwave … Perhaps only Fu Gen himself could survive.
"Incredible." Julius felt that his horizons had been broadened. The expeditionary knight's experience along the way made him understand how insignificant he was. "Amazing. I have only heard of lizardmen before."
"What's the matter, Julius? You've gained some experience as a coachman?" Fu Gen asked with a playful smile after hearing this.
Julius's face darkened.
After the battle of the Vampire Coast, Julius fought bravely. The expeditionary knight was originally full of confidence that this would definitely make Fulgen look at him in a different light.
But in fact, this was not the case. When Fulgen returned to the Marauder's Harbor, he was rearranged into the stable and continued to be a coachman.
The commander of the Ashes Corps even said with conviction, "Those two elven horses recognize you, dear Yuri. Now that they have finally given birth to a foal, how can you bear to see that no one takes care of the foal? I feel that in the whole camp, only you are the most suitable for this profession. You are the only and irreplaceable one. I feel that this is the true intention of your lady to let you help me. Yuri, this is a sacred mission! This is the will of the Lady of the Lake! "
Julius was stunned by Forgan's words. The expeditionary knight thought about it carefully and felt that it was quite reasonable. Because he had served the two pureblood elven warhorses well, the two pureblood elven warhorses also recognized him and liked him to serve them. The Ashes Corps did not know much about the breeding of elven warhorses and how to train their foals. After thinking about it, he was indeed the most suitable candidate.
Although he felt that something was not right, Julius still sincerely and seriously agreed. He worked as a coachman for another two weeks until Fulgen decided to go south to exchange the stone slab.
Hertwig van Haer, who had just joined, was still not trusted. At the same time, this doctor cum demon hunter did not like to talk much. He just held a rapier in his left hand and a short musket in his right, carefully observing the situation around him.
The temple guards were almost silent throughout the whole process. The spirit lizard priest would occasionally say a few words to Fulgen. It first said that Master Kroc had something important to tell him, and then seemingly inadvertently said that recently, an unwelcome warm-blooded person seemed to have sneaked into the great forest. He relied on his powerful archery skills and directly shot the eyes of an armored dragon. This warm-blooded person seemed to be looking for something.
Fulgen was very interested in this, but the spirit lizard priest did not know much. It could only guess from the other party's arrows that he was dealing with an archer who believed in the God of the Hunt, Kunos, and had excellent archery skills.
"It seems that the silver-haired human seems to be the lord of this group of people, and he is valued by the lizardmen." About four hundred meters away from here, on the crown of a towering tree, the Lost Walker of the Wood Elves was secretly observing everything.
For several years, she had spent almost all of her energy trying to enter Itaza to complete her redemption. She wanted the father god Kunos to forgive her, and she wanted the mother god Isa to be comforted. She had to follow the oracle, enter the emerald pool, and obtain the secret of the lizardmen.
However, the city barrier of Itaza raised by Kroc was too powerful. It was so powerful that she, who had always had absolute confidence in her own strength, did not dare to approach it casually. Even the most arrogant and proud elves knew that the ancient sages were the creators of the world. They had the power of creation. Even their servants should not provoke them under normal circumstances.
However, she had to find a way to enter the emerald pool of Itaza, because according to the oracle in her dream, that was the only way to make the God of the Hunt, Kunos, forgive her. Thinking of the mistakes she had made, the Lost Walker could only close her eyes in pain. She had no other choice.
In a short period of observation, the Lost Walker came to a conclusion. The silver-haired human must be the lord of this group of people, and it was very likely that he was a distinguished guest of the lizardmen.
Then, as long as she captured this human and used his life to threaten these humans and lizardmen, she should be able to enter Itaza.
Or she could also capture him and torture him to get him to tell her the way to enter Itaza.
Let's do it! The Lost Walker knew that this was one of her few chances. Since she came to the vicinity of Itaza, she found that the number of lizardmen army from Itaza was increasing. The forest was now full of lizardmen army patrolling everywhere. It was getting harder and harder to hide. Time did not allow her to delay any longer.
When night fell, she could make her move.
At night, Ruthia, the great forest, the camp of the Ashes Corps.
Forgen and the others found a valley to camp. They only dared to eat the food they brought and drink the water stored in the gourd. Many of the water, which was a supreme delicacy to the lizardmen, were highly toxic to humans.
The Great Swordsman, the Foot Knights, and the Phoenix Guards gathered together to make a fire. They heated the food and boiled the soup. Everyone gathered in groups of three to five and chatted. Jinn and his Arabi Guards set up a huge golden tent. This tent was made using magic, and inside it was a magnificent dome palace.
Fu Gen, on the other hand, was playing a musical instrument that the Ancient Sages loved. It was called the ukulele. He had obtained this musical instrument from the ruins of the lizardmen. Along with it, he had obtained an ancient piece of music called "Greetings to the Stars". Although this song had been lost for a long time, Fu Gen was able to use many methods to finally recover this piece of music and personally write the lyrics.
The commander's artistic talent was recognized in the Ashes Corps and even in the human world. He was proficient in singing all kinds of poems and was omnipotent in music. Some busybodies counted that Forgen knew at least seven musical instruments.
At the same time, Forgen also knew at least eight languages. In addition to High and Low Gothic, he also knew Elvish, Dwarvish, Kislöw, the ancient language of the Tomb King, and the hieroglyphs used by the lizardmen. Forgen was quite proficient in all of them. Even the difficult to learn Arabi, after Jinn gave him a few books and a little guidance, Forgen was able to speak Arabi fluently with Jinn.
After a short period of entertainment, the soldiers left some of them to keep watch while the rest began to rest.
As the night gradually deepened, the Lost Traveler finally found his chance. In terms of hiding ability in the forest, no one could match Aisley.
The green shadow passed through the tropical jungle, crossed the wet banana leaves, and gently floated across the muddy, wet, and mossy ground. The Lost Traveler quietly approached the camp of the Ashes Corps. The soldiers on guard looked around vigilantly, monitoring every movement in the vicinity.
However, this was not a problem for the Lost Traveler. In the eyes of the Elves, humans were really low-level creatures. They were not good at magic and were a group of boorish people who did not know the art of war. Even now, there was a huge gap between their culture and that of the Elves. Their only advantage was that they could give birth, were cheap, and were easy to raise.
With their inferior night vision and terrible hearing, they were still far from being able to discover him as a Lost Tracker!
After spending more than ten minutes, the Lost Traveler gradually approached Fu Gen's tent. The plants of the tropical rainforest and her own concealment ability ensured that she was not discovered by the guards. Now, Fu Gen's tent was in front of her. The Lost Traveler took out a dagger from her arms and was about to cut open the tent and take down the person inside to interrogate or coerce him. However, she found that the tent was still lit with fire!
"Damn it! This human still hasn't rested! " Seeing this, the Lost Traveler could only put away her dagger and secretly lurk in a bush. She was not an idiot. She knew that this human who could control the entire Ashes Corps was not weak. If she fought him head-on, she was not confident. The only chance was to attack him while he was resting.
She patiently waited in the darkness for another hour. Finally, the fire in the tent was extinguished. It seemed that the silver-haired human had decided to rest.
The Lost Traveler waited patiently for another ten minutes. When the patrolling guards finally left, she took out her dagger again and prepared to gently cut open the tent.
Just a little more. The Lost Traveler's forehead was sweating. She gritted her teeth and the sharp tip of the dagger had already touched the purple tent.
"Pu ~ Xiu!" At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind her!
What? Before the Lost Traveler could react, she felt a pain in her back!
Oh no! I've been shot! She groaned and opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but a terrible numbness had already spread throughout her body. The Lost Traveler tried her best to turn around, but her body did not listen to her. She knelt down. "Ugh …"
Soon, she felt that she was losing consciousness.
It's … it's over …
I'm just a little bit away from the cut-off line …
The next morning, Fu Gen woke up from his dream. He simply washed up and tidied himself up. Before he could walk out of the tent, he heard some movement inside. A few soldiers of the Ashes Legion could not wait to shout at the entrance of the tent. "Legion Commander? Are you awake? "
Fu Gen was not surprised. His voice had a certain certainty and playfulness. "I'm awake. What's the matter?"
"Commander, we've captured a wood elf, and it's a female!" The soldiers of the Ashes Corps were obviously very excited about this matter. They happily shouted, "Can we bring her in?"
"Sure." Fu Gen elegantly stretched out his hand and placed a towel in a basin made of gold.
The door of the tent opened, and a few great swordsmen escorted a wood elf captive in.
This wood elf captive was obviously a female. She was wearing a simple wood elf silk dress and leather sandals. Her figure was hot, and her appearance had the unique wildness and fierceness of the wood elves. Her unruly face was full of anger, but because her mouth was sealed, she could only make unhappy sounds. Her hands and legs were tied tightly with hemp rope. She kept struggling, but her body could not exert any strength. She could only glare at Fu Gen with eyes full of anger.
"Commander, this is a real good. In the old world, such a female elf could be sold as a slave in Marlin Castle … I mean, she could be sold at an astonishing price in the Marlin Castle's human market!" A great swordsman said flatteringly. "Your brother, Sir Laing, once got the best elven maid there. After some discussion, we all agreed that you also need one, so we've decided to give this female elf to you!"
"Oh!" After Fu Gen heard this, he behaved elegantly without any panic. He was not even surprised. "You really want to give her to me?"
"Of course." A few great swordsmen laughed a little obscenely. "Commander, you should have a woman by your side."
"Well, you guys go out first." Fu Gen looked quite satisfied. He waved his hand and signaled the great swordsmen to go out first. The great swordsmen looked at each other and showed an expression that all men understood. They immediately left the tent.
Just like that, only Fu Gen and the captive wood elf were left in the tent. Fu Gen had an unpredictable smile on his face as he approached step by step. "Now, let's get to know each other."
"Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu! " Seeing Fu Gen approach, the female elf finally showed a look of fear. She struggled hard and twisted her body. At the same time, her mouth, which was sealed, made a dull scream. "Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu!"
The king's son geno prototype's hand was as fast as lightning. He instantly pinched the female elf's chin and lifted the face of the Lost Traveler, whose face was full of fear and despair. He unsealed the thing that sealed her mouth.
"Now, tell me, who are you? Why are you here? "Fu Gen asked gently in the elf language.
"Don't you dare make me say a word, human! I will kill you and give this hunt to Kunos, the hunting god. I will give your soul to our mother goddess, Yisha. I … "The wood elf said angrily.
"There are 500 people outside. 500 men." Fu Gen was very calm. His tone was still gentle. "They have been out for a long time. Female elf?"
The wood elf's face suddenly turned white. She looked up in disbelief and saw a pair of emotionless eyes.
There was no doubt that the human in front of her was capable of doing such a thing.
"Answer me, elf," Fu Gen repeated.
The wood elf gritted her teeth and finally spoke.
"… Karona, Karona Wendrich, daughter of Aralos, the Lord of the Tarsyn Forest, and Evelyn, the Lord of the Wendrich Forest."
