As early as after the first batch of scorpion orcs were captured, Sera and the wizard Tager developed an antidote to snake venom in the alchemy laboratory. The defeated scorpion orcs were very conscious of slavery, and they didn't even need Tag to use witchcraft to torture them. , just tell the solution in detail.

With the help of Tagkin witchcraft, the two developed a glass extractor that can be used repeatedly, with a very thin metal needle in front of it, no need to cut flesh and gallbladder, as long as the needle is pierced under the skin of the snake orc The snake gallbladder can be extracted, and the used extractor can be reused after repeated boiling in boiling water.

With the poison-repelling herb brought back by Shen Qingze, the first batch of antidote was successfully refined, and the time was almost in time for the fifth to sixth day after people were poisoned.

Although some snake slaves unfortunately died of poisoning in the end, fortunately, the small amount of healing potion that Shen Qingze brought back could allow most of the poisoned people to drink at least one sip after dilution, which could delay the poisoning time until the antidote was issued.

Yuanliu City, the City Lord's Mansion.

The butterfly flower on the window sill blooms all year round, and the hanging branches draw out green new buds in the spring breeze.

Sunlight pours from the open glass windows onto the maroon floor, and the elderly woman sits in a thick pear wood wheelchair with a camel-colored blanket on her knees.

Yan Zui personally removed the soft barbed wire cover from Mrs. Yan's head and the chains on her hands, took the medicine bowl, and fed it to the other person's mouth spoon by spoon.

The bedroom was very quiet, except for the crisp sound of the spoon hitting the wall, the light drew a light-dark dividing line on Yan Zui's face, separating the gentle eyes from the tight lips.

"Grandma, I'm sorry for making you suffer." Yan Zui gently wiped away the water stains from the corners of the other party's mouth, lowered his eyes again, and held those skinny, calloused hands.

Madam Yan just smiled as usual, groped to the top of his head, and stroked his grandson's soft hair.

"This bit of suffering is nothing. Grandma is very happy. You can always stay rational and make the right decisions. This is what the city owner should do."

Yan Zui opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Madam Yan turned her head: "What's the matter? What happened outside?"

Yan Zui briefly narrated the outbreak of snake venom in Pearl City and asked for help, then paused slightly: "Grandma, we are Yuanliu City, no, our territory is no longer limited to Yuanliu City."

Mrs. Yan pondered for a moment, then sighed: "That is a feat that your father and grandfather would never have imagined. Will you stay here in the future?"

Yan Zui squatted at her grandmother's feet, leaning on her knees: "Qingze has a bigger ideal, and for me, guarding Yuanliu City is enough. Our territory was still small before, and we never considered certain issues , now everything is different, Grandma, will you support all my decisions?"

Old Man Yan "looked" at him in surprise, and smiled kindly: "You don't have to feel uneasy, what you have done has greatly exceeded the expectations of your father and me. The Yan family is not declining, and Yuanliu City is prosperous. What's not to like?"

After executing his uncle Yan En, he is very likely to have no children in the future. How can the Yan family "not decline"?

Yan Zui sighed helplessly in his heart, but he didn't say these words after all.

After Shen Qingze agreed to Tia's request to assist Pearl City, Yuanliu City's war machine was fully activated.The smelting and armament factories are working day and night, and there is an endless supply of logistics supplies.

The traffic between the three cities of Yuanliu, Beiji, and Nanji was restored to order, and merchant ships and trucks were once again unimpeded between the major cities. Various information spread rapidly among the merchants. Yuanliu City entered the Grand Canyon, and the Grand Canyon The heavy news that the two super tribes were defeated, and now they are going to send troops to Pearl City, swept every corner of the North within a few days.

At first, after Yuanliu City and Mingzhu City broke out snake venom one after another, while the surrounding cities were terrified, they couldn't help but maliciously speculate that if the two most powerful cities in the Northland were to collapse, wouldn't it be an opportunity for other cities to rise up? ?

What's even more ridiculous is that Yuanliu City is so bold that he dares to take the initiative to set foot in the Grand Canyon?

In the minds of the cities in the North, Yuanliu City is strong in its wealth and its defense. No one would think that the super tribe of the orcs could be stronger than the orcs in field battles.

With mixed feelings, all the cities in the North turned their attention to Yuanliu City, whose gates were closed, and Mingzhu City, which had lost the news. Unfortunately, soon, the sad news that disappointed them came, Yuanliu City actually won. !

Not only defeated the mighty orcs, but even bit off a piece of territory from the edge of the Grand Canyon!what is that placeNightmare Canyon in the Dawn Continent!Was forced to cede land to the human race for peace?Even the monarchs of the three great empires dare not have such a dream!

This inconceivable result blew everything in the north like a hurricane, and along with the merchants from all over the place, it slowly blew into the territory of the three major countries in the east, west and south.

All of a sudden, countless nobles in the Northland were frightened. Even the dullest people could feel that the sky in the Northland was about to change, and sooner or later it would no longer be their paradise!

Yuanliu City's army and fleet set off for Pearl City at the same time.

The majestic momentum connected the waterway, and they marched side by side in the direction of Mingzhu City. Along with the army was the already aging Tengshe patriarch, relying on Shen Qingze's healing potion, barely hanging his life.

It thought that it would die sooner or later for itself and the people who offered the snake gall, and headed to Yuanliu City with the heart of death, only hoped that Shen Qingze would keep his promise, and for the old, weak, sick and unborn baby snakes left by the Tengshe orcs, Provide a place to settle down.

Unexpectedly, the needle extractor invented by the human race actually preserved the life of the Teng Snake orc. In this way, the clansmen of Mingzhu City also had hope of survival.

The Tengshe patriarch immediately asked to join the army, "to take the blame and make meritorious service". With its order, the orcs in Mingzhu City would not stand firm. In its view, being a "slave" of the human race is not a shame at all, but it is better than being enslaved by other orc tribes. Much better.

Pearl City.

Long before Tia fled Pearl City with Black Eagle and her personal guards, the outer city had already fallen into the hands of snake slaves.A large number of nobles took the opportunity to flee, and the few who could not escape had to close the gates, guard the inner city, guard the granary, and wait for the snake slaves in the outer city to poison themselves to death.

Within two or three days, the people in the outer city were poisoned one after another, and they could no longer bear this torment. Those who could escape fled everywhere, and those who could not escape began to attack the inner city.

On the tall city wall, the bows, arrows and fire crossbows in the hands of the guards were aimed at these "troublemakers", their nerves were tense, and they no longer knew how many people they had killed.

The number of opponents is really too many, if it is not for the ammunition accumulated in Mingzhu City, sooner or later it will be overwhelmed by a large sea of ​​people.

When the conflicts between the civilians in the outer city and the nobles in the inner city became more and more fierce, a more terrifying enemy came - Sofa, a wizard disguised as Lot, led the Teng Snake orcs across the Chiyuan River, and attacked the city at night. The empty shell of Pearl City!

The chaotic crowd gave them the best cover, but within days and nights, the inner city of Mingzhu City fell, and Sofa, carrying Lot's skin, wiped out all the nobles hiding in the city lord's mansion, took the seat of the city lord himself, and stole All the wealth and power accumulated by the Moti family over the past hundred years.

Ironically, with the command of him and the Teng Snake Orc, the snake slaves biting people in the outer city were brought under control, separated from the surviving ordinary civilians, and the spread of snake venom was curbed.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but Suofa never expected that the Tengshe tribe, the ally he once relied on, had become Shen Qingze's "servant" at this moment.

At dusk and sunset, blood-like residual red enveloped the dead city.

In the Palace of the Lord of Pearl City, Sofa used Lott's young and energetic body to enjoy the concubines left by the old city lord.

Lott used her in exchange for Sofa's support to attack Yuanliu City, but he was defeated like a mountain. Tia took the opportunity to seize the throne, and Sofa fell into trouble, and died extremely aggrieved.

The fleet of Abyss City was the first to arrive at the river bank of Pearl City. This fleet flying the black gold flag of Abyss City did not attract the attention of any defenders. In the chaotic Pearl City, there were not many defenders left. The Teng Snake Orc who was let by Sofa to plunder everywhere.

The salvos of artillery bombarded heavily on the ancient city wall of Mingzhu City, and the violent earthquake shook the rubble of the city wall, shaking it endlessly!

The sudden "earthquake" awakened Sofa, who was drunk and dreaming, in an instant. He walked quickly to the observation tower with a livid face, and what greeted him were dusty smoke and dust rising not far away, as well as deafening explosions.

"What's going on?" Sofa sternly yelled at the nearby guards. After waiting for a long time, someone came to report tremblingly, saying that the Yuanliu City army had arrived.

Sofa gritted his teeth and recited the words "Yuanliu City" like sucking blood, very good, before he came to revenge, he did not expect that the other party came to him first.

Suofa ordered the remaining human guards in Mingzhu City to fight with the orcs. The human guards hated the orcs. On the surface, they obeyed orders, but in fact they resisted passively.

Cannonballs rained like rain, reflecting the flames and the setting sun, shaking this battered and fragile defense one after another. The passively beaten Pearl City could not stand such a fierce attack, and soon collapsed in a sea of ​​flames!

Surrounded by a group of Tengshen orcs, Sofa had no choice but to go into battle himself and set foot on the inner city wall.

His sinister eyes lingered on the icy fleets on the river. When the second wave of shells tore through the setting sun and was about to bombard again, Sofa raised his staff——

The dark black light is like an arrow, precisely attached to each shell, distorting the trajectory of the shells with incredible power, causing them to reflect back to the Abyss City fleet!

A confident smile returned to Sofa's face again. Although he didn't know what happened in Yuanliu City, why the Teng Snake Clan failed to take down this city that also broke out with snake venom, but those are irrelevant, and the situation is still under control. own hands.

Immediately afterwards, his smile froze suddenly, and the reflected black shells failed to land on the fleet deck, but began to disintegrate inexplicably in the middle, until they shattered into iron dust and scattered with the wind, spilling onto the Chiyuan River.

Sofa raised his binoculars and looked at the deck of the fleet. He saw a familiar figure standing on the bow of the ship, also holding a staff - that was his good junior, the sorcerer Tag who was fooled by Shen Qingze into serving him.

Sofa sneered, so what if Tag made a move?He has never been his opponent!

Under Sofa's order, the snake orcs on the city wall jumped into the Chiyuan River one after another, swung their thick tails, and swam towards the fleet of Yuanliu City...
