Chapter 289 Sal is here
The orcs really retreated!
Since it is not in line with common sense, it is also not logical.
Jietian couldn't recover from this information for a while.
"It's really retreated. The number is less than 5,000, and it's heading west. In addition, the drilling monsters outside the city have disappeared. Wei Wuji took a hand and pulled Jietian out of the cave.
Even if the orcs retreat, the defense of Guangming City still dares not relax. All the survivors are constantly repairing the city walls and tidying up their weapons.
The disabled team can't supplement the soldiers, and the situation is worrying.
Two days later, Liu Feng sent a detective to the temple to report: "Lord Jiufang, the orcs devouring and infecting human beings, and there was no change."
"It's not in line with speculation. What on earth are the orcs doing?" Jietian was one head and two big. He sat diagonally on a wooden chair with his legs crossed.
"Report!" There are soldiers shouting outside the temple.
"Come in," Wei Wuji said, and then explained to Jietian, "This is my soldier, responsible for the peripheral exploration."
The sound of messy footsteps came, and Jietian looked up. Four or five soldiers, orcs with a fox's head, entered the door of the palace.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." As soon as the fox man, who was tied up with five flowers, entered the hall, he immediately shouted for mercy.
"What's going on?" Wei Wuji opened his mouth.
The escorted soldier immediately explained, "Miss Wei, this orc boldly marched forward to our Guangming City, and he claimed to be a messenger."
Before the soldier finished speaking, the tied fox man shouted, "I'm the messenger, the messenger of Sal."
"Let it go and make it clear." Jie Tian picked up his nails with a dagger and looked at the fox man coldly.
The soldier untied the rope on the fox man and kicked it to the ground. The fox man did not dare to struggle and knelt down and rushed to say, "Lord Sal sent me as a messenger. I hope you..."
"What do you want?" Jietian stood up from his chair and walked slowly to the fox man.
"I hope you give up the resistance. In three days, he will come to receive it with a large army." The fox man said in a hurry.
"Sal is going to let us go," Jie Tian said with a smile. "Is it insulting my IQ?"
Wei Wuji's face was not good. He pulled out a long knife on his back, walked closer and put it against the throat of the fox man: "You unlucky bastard, how can you offend Sal, so I'm sending you to die."
"No, no," the Foxman quickly defended, "I'm Sal's diplomat. The two armies are fighting, and they don't cut it."
Wei Wuji made a winp look and asked him to take back the long knife.
"The first few attacks, was it Sal's man?" Jietian needs to figure out the truth of the matter.
"No, absolutely not." The fox man shouted.
"What about this time?"
"Not really!"
"To be honest," a soldier kicked the fox man.
Since it's not Sal, what is the origin of these orcs? Jietian squatted down and waited for the fox man's explanation.
The fox man was desperate and quickly explained, "The orcs have three large tribes, and we are the largest family. But some time ago, the other two tribes suddenly joined forces with some small tribes. They felt that they were strong enough to start a war against us.
"Inner bar?" Jietian frowned.
"There was no fight," the fox man immediately made it clear: "Lord Sal met their leader and reached a unified opinion."
"How many orcs did Sal bring?" Jietian suddenly interrupted its narrative.
"I don't know, I really don't know." The fox man responded quickly.
Jietian stood up, winced at the soldier, turned back to his seat, and his voice floated behind him: "Since it doesn't know, it's worthless. Is it chopped and fed to the dog, or cut it into sticks and stand outside the city? It's up to you."
"No, no!" The fox man shouted.
Several soldiers pulled him up from the ground and dragged him out of the door.
"You must have stolen Sal's concubine, that's why he sent you to die." Wei Wuji shook his head and sneered at the fox.
"That's called mutual affection!" The fox man shouted regardless.
Jietian suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "I'll give you another chance to say what you know. I don't want to hear such words again.
After hearing this, the soldier immediately stopped and threw the foxman back to the ground.
The fox man did not know the specific situation, but in order to save his life, he talked a lot about the orc tribe, which made Jietian guess.
Before the mutation in the test site, the orc prophets of almost all tribes received the same metaphor. That is to ask them to conquer another continent through something called Portal. That place has the sun, moon and stars, a rich land, and a large number of human beings.
There are two kinds of portals, one is naturally generated on the test site. The other is a kind of blood array obtained by the prophets. Taking blood as the guide and depicting the array can break through the space barrier and reach distant places.
At that time, the fog in the test site had not dissipated.
Therefore, the orcs don't care about such orders. Only sporadic orcs reached that continent through some natural transmission cracks.
The orc's head is not good. Only a few species, as well as the leader of the orc, have wisdom. They don't care about the prophecy and fate of the prophet. In the test site, they are already kings. They can live freely and have no desire to open up the world outside.
However, after the change in the test site, they all panicked.
They believe that this is a punishment, a punishment for their inaction.
And the terrible thing is that the lack of fog supplement greatly increases the appetite of the orcs. Originally, there was enough food for orcs to survive in the mountains and grasslands, but in less than a month, the food was swallowed clean. In order to survive, mentally retarded orcs have begun to kill each other.
There is only one tribe that is not short of food, that is, the Saar tribe. Because this tribe produces a kind of yellow soil, which can be swallowed after mixing with water to stop hunger.
The population of other tribes is consumed in the chaotic killing, and the leaders can't sit still. They united and prepared to go to war with Sal and seize resources. But the war did not start, because Sal actually agreed to share this edible soil.
After the orc's inner bar stopped, they found that the monsoon had stopped and humans no longer paid tribute.
The senior management of the tribe is also tired of eating soil. They like fresh meat. Animals taste good, and humans are better. So they began to test out and attack neighboring tribes.
But the good times didn't last long, and human beings were infected with a terrible disease. The population is constantly decreasing, less than one-third of the original. Seeing that the delicious meat was decreasing day by day, the leader of the orc began to go crazy. After all, human beings in the test site are limited. At most, they can only be used as a snack to relieve their buns. And once the slaughter is empty, there will be no more in the future.
Sal summoned them again and proposed a solution.
Only then did they think of the metaphor of the prophet. There is a wider world, more human beings, and more delicious meat. They need to leave this damn place.
However, the space cracks leading to the outside world seem to have disappeared.
They carved the formation, led by blood, and tried to open the way to the outside world. Strangely, this method doesn't seem to work.
The orcs began to panic, although the rest of the tribes had reached some peace agreements with Sal. This can stop the inner bar, but it can't stop them from continuing to attack human beings.
So, one of the slightly larger tribes sent a large number of people to arrest human beings crazily.
"It's just arrest, not killing?" When Jietian heard this, he couldn't help interrupting the fox man's narrative.
The fox man quickly responded: "They think that instead of letting human beings be freed on the test site, it is better for them to be arrested and kept in captivity."
"Sal also participated?"
"No, Lord Sal is not involved!" The fox man said quickly.
"How is that possible?" Wei Wuji doesn't believe that Sal is not a philanthropist.
The foxman quickly explained that the reason why Sal did not participate was that he was injured some time ago. This news was secretly told to him by Sal's concubine. It is said that several monsters like zombies attacked the tribe. Sal took action with them and slaughtered them all, but he was injured.
Sal has four commanders, but these commanders are a little different. Once he learns that Sal is injured, something may come about. Therefore, Sal tried to keep a low profile, did not fight with other tribes, and did not order anyone to go out to hunt human beings for the time being.
"In this way, is Sal recovering from his injury now?" Jie Tianwen asked.
The fox man just shook his head.
"Take it down, take good care of it, and don't touch it for the time being." Jietian waved his hand and let the soldier drag the foxman away.
When the soldier dragged the shouting fox man away, Jietian took a look at the crowd and said, "Do you believe what this fox head said?"
"Part of it can be believed," everyone was stunned when they heard the voice, and the haunted Liu Feng was coming out of the ground. With a calm face, he found a chair and sat down, explaining to everyone, "Sal is indeed injured. I did it. But the injury is not serious. I think it must be an excuse. It's very smart, not an easy guy to deal with.
Jietian glanced at Liu Feng and said thoughtfully, "In this way, why can the orcs capture the Bright City, but they stop at the last moment and can barely make a difference. They didn't expect that human resistance would be so fierce, and they didn't want to get corpses on the ground. They wanted living people.
"It seems that Sal is dissatisfied with the orcs of other tribes eating alone. Maybe those orcs retreated for this reason. It's very likely that the fox man said it was possible for the army to arrive in three days. Wei Wuji analyzed thoughtfully.
"It's still wrong," Liu Feng turned over his pocket, as if some evil characters came back. He looked around and found that Ku He was not there. He sighed and continued, "With my understanding of Sal, his eyes will not be so short. The human beings in the test site will become extinct sooner or later, so it must be looking for a way to leave. And we must have what it wants here. He did not capture it directly, which shows that it is afraid of our destruction. What will it be?"
Everyone was attracted by Liu Feng's analysis, and they whispered to each other and guessed.
Just as Jietian was about to speak, he suddenly pricked up his ears in surprise, because there was a tsunami-like cheering sound outside the temple. The whole bright city seems to be boiling at this moment.
