Before he was crowned king II

Behind the gray wall, in the defensive blockhouse thirty yards above the Rio Grande, the two tower guard officers gathered in front of the sand table, frowning.

Half an hour ago, Gray Wall was harassed and attacked by sub-orcs.Half an hour later, His Royal Highness Prince Fern, who had heard the news from nowhere, came forward on horseback and said that he would serve as a war supervisor and command the deployment of the gray wall counterattack.

"Why is Prince Fern here? I heard that he was imprisoned in the gray wall." A guard officer whispered, "Send someone to confirm."

"I don't know. Maybe it's a rumor. None of us have seen the written announcement." Another officer shook his head. "We have already sent someone to report the news. But right now he is still the first heir to the empire, so we can only obey."

"I ordered in the name of Fern Salfield to send out the city guards to seal off the front area and assemble fifty junior magicians and ten intermediate magicians under the "Gate of Saint Via". "

Prince Fern, wearing a war robe, stood on the gray wall and issued an order, "In order to ensure the undefeated glory of Saint Via, no sub-orc man will be allowed to be let go, I order you for the glory of Queen Karina, for Saint Via The dignity of the Via royal family, annihilate all enemies who try to provoke and rebel, and let them taste the fear of being enemies of the great empire!"

The mist gradually dispersed, and the sun shone on the bleeding earth.The smooth iron chains slid like a python, the dust flew with the wind, and the stone passage in the middle of the gray wall fell to the ground. The heavily armed and brave cavalry, holding the flag of the national emblem of St. Via, rushed out of the gate of St. Via.

And above the sky, there are dozens of magic circles glowing with reddish luster, like spider webs spread out, ready to launch.

"It's crazy to use so many magicians." squatting on the tree trunk, Hua De said, "Don't they care about the lives of their own people?"

"Everyone disperses and retreats into the street area, pay attention to concealment." Kaisen held his head up, his face hard, "Our mission is completed, wait for my signal to retreat in groups."

"Yes, Captain." The members of the Scarlet Vanguard pressed their chests with their right fists, and evacuated in accordance with the order.

Parker was running for his life, and after realizing that it was impossible to hide in the gray wall, he subconsciously ran towards a place with a lot of cover.

He turned from the avenue to the alley, choosing a winding and concealed route as much as possible, looking back from time to time, worried that someone might be following him.

He was really too scared, afraid of those beasts in human skin, so that as long as he flickered, his adoptive father's head pierced by arrows would appear in his mind.

He wanted to find a place to hide first.Because the number of sub-orc rebels should not be large, the offensive cannot continue, and Saint Via's army is stationed not far away, and they will definitely rush over to rescue them soon.

Faintly seeing a few people standing around the corner, Parker stopped immediately. Seeing that those tall figures hadn't spotted him, he immediately turned and hid in the post on the right.

It was a small and dilapidated inn, like it was used for homeless people or beggars to take shelter from the wind and snow temporarily.

When Parker pushed the door open out of breath, there were already several men and women hiding inside.

"Close the door quickly!" One of the men squatting on the ground growled, "Do you want to attract those demons!"

Parker shivered, quickly closed the door and curled up in an inconspicuous corner.

San Via gray walls, bunkers.

"Everything has been withdrawn? You are on horseback! Stupid thing! Are you still a soldier of San Via?" roared the tower guard officer.

"I'm very sorry. But the sub-orcs move too fast, and some roads outside the gray wall are too narrow for horses to..."

"I don't want to hear these useless explanations, keep hunting them!"

"They won't escape. Our encirclement network has basically been formed." Fern looked down at the sand table, and the slender iron rod circled a large area. "The mountains are to the east, and the Rio Grande is to the west. Half the army is stationed on this mountain pass to the north, which is the only way they must go back to exile."

"However, they are too cunning, hiding in civilian areas, where there are many second-class citizens, it is difficult for us to distinguish their true identities..."

"If you can't tell the difference, then wipe them all out." Fern clenched his hands tightly and swung them out like a sword. "Put all the troops in search and hunt, this is the price they should pay for the folly of their compatriots."

"Really, do you want to release magic collectively?" In front of the gate of Saint Via, the leading magician maintained a magical expression and hesitated.

"This is the order of His Royal Highness, the other party is a humble sub-orc man, no matter how much he dies, he is not worthy of mercy."

The garrison officer had a heavy expression on his face, "Level [-] fire magic is ready! Level [-] wind magic is ready!"

Little suns were bred on the gray high walls, they were burning and shining in the air, releasing amazing power.

"Cast a spell to the target!" An order came.

The "suns" in the air fell, and with the help of the whirlwind, they drew beautiful arcs like burning meteorites, and finally ruthlessly smashed down the dense houses on the ground, turning the destination into ruins and ashes.

"Okay, next is our search and arrest team. A group of five will carefully investigate this area. Pay attention to the direction of the beast dog!" A search and arrest officer came out of the queue and assigned tasks to the soldiers.

"Sir, can these dogs really help us find the suborcs?"

"Hmph, don't forget that they look like puppies, their noses have been strictly trained. They can smell the stink of those sub-orcs!"

The hunting officer held a dog leash in his hand, and the black-haired beast dog put its nose on the ground. After a while, it started to move forward until it stopped in front of a house and barked wildly.

"Look, we've found the prey." The arresting officer parted his mouth and showed a creepy smile.

The wooden door was kicked open suddenly, dazzling light shone into the dark post in an instant, the ferocious barking of the dog made Parker hold the pendant around his neck tightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Okay, let me see how many people are hiding here!" Someone walked in with a black dog and a short gun.

Hearing some familiar imperial accents, Parker slowly raised his head. Those people were wearing uniforms, and they all wore the shining Saint Via badge.

These people belong to the Saint Via Military Department!He is saved!

"Ah, let me tell you, the dog's nose is very good." The officer forcibly grabbed a woman's hand, "Look at these sharp and terrifying nails! They must be dealt with immediately!"

"No, don't... Please let me go... I'm a second-class citizen... I have a collar, I haven't done anything bad, and I haven't opposed Sanvia... Ah..."

Parker's pupils shrank suddenly, and before the woman could finish speaking, she was shot in the abdomen by a short gun, and collapsed in a pool of blood dying.

Another, dead again... Parker couldn't bear to close his eyes.

"It's a pity that the low-level citizens are also sub-orcs." The search officer put down his gun, and his blood-stained face sighed faintly, "It's really pitiful. If you want to blame it, you fellows dare to ask our glorious and great Sanvia provocative."

He lifted the body of the woman, and then turned his eyes to Parker, "Huh? Are you shaking? Are you afraid?"

"No, no...I..." Parker was a little disgusted, covering his mouth with his hands.

"Is it sad what happened to her? You are also a sub-orc, right?" The search officer approached Parker.

"No, it's not! I'm from Sanvia, a student of the Imperial Academy of Magic!"

Parker immediately defended himself, raising his hands, "Look! I don't have sharp nails, and I don't have beast ears. I'm a real human being!"

"But, it's calling at you..." The arresting officer narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I don't know, I'm really not—" Parker tried to explain, the flint shell had struck him on the shoulder blade.

Why?Why did you attack him?

He... is obviously not a sub-orc man.

Parker's thin body was knocked down by the impact, tears of fear flowed from his eyes, and his limbs twitched continuously.

"He actually said that he was a student of Saint Via. Heh, the sub-orcs are really getting more and more cunning now, and they dare to tell any lies."

The search officer shook his head, "If you cut off your nails, we won't recognize you? Your timid and cowardly appearance is deeply embedded in your bones."

"Really, kill all the rest." The arresting officer glanced casually, and finally dropped a sentence, "This is the safest way."

Soon all the people in the post house fell down amidst the screams, the ground, the wall, the table... There were spurts of blood everywhere.

"He... help... save me... Sean..." Parker made an unpleasant gurgling sound with a blood clot in his throat.

He felt like a shattered hourglass, apart from the blood, there was real life force slowly flowing from his body.

Saint Via, the sub-orcs... He doesn't believe in anyone anymore, except for that person.

Parker grabbed the pendant in his hand with all his strength, and the olive green gemstone's cut surface shone faintly.

Inside the gray wall, the Imperial Academy of Magic.

"The ancient magic word "animal epidemic" originated in 190 years ago.For us humans, it was a time of misery and despair.

According to historical murals, the plague of monsters infected by a sub-orc swept across the entire continent and claimed tens of thousands of human lives.

Different from common diseases, "animal epidemic" has a high fatality rate, on average, one out of every four people will die. It was a bloody history that human beings cannot recall..."

"Professor Udyr, since the "animal epidemic" is so terrible, how did we people survive until now? "

Under the desk, some students raised their hands asking, "Has anyone found a cure?"

Professor Udyr pushed his glasses: "No, to be precise, we still have no cure for the "veterinary epidemic".Law.Because no one of us alive has ever been infected, there is no standard answer to the question you asked.

However, according to the explanation in the books of the Holy See of Light, at that time, the God of Light sent messengers to rescue the dying people. "

"Wow, Messenger of the God of Light, this sounds too cool." Sean heard someone around whispering praise.

Messenger of God.

Sean silently wrote the phrase on the paper, then circled it.He raised his left hand, and suddenly found that the remote device nailed to his collar seemed to be glowing.

Parker looking for him?at this time?

Sean thought for a moment, then raised his right hand, indicating that Professor Udyr might have to leave the classroom temporarily.

"These damn St. Via's minions! They actually killed everyone!" Seeing the scattered corpses on the ground, even Kaisen, who was experienced in the battlefield and used to life and death, couldn't help but clenched his fists.

He originally thought that the Holy Via Empire would only take action against rebels like them, but who would have thought that even those sub-orcs who voluntarily put on collars and became labor slaves would not let them go.

"Damn it, if I had come here earlier, you wouldn't have to—" Kaisen's heart was full of annoyance and hatred, and he accidentally showed his fangs, looking like he wanted to rush out and tear up all the enemies outside .

"Parker, what's the matter?" someone said.

Kaisen's shoulders suddenly stopped shaking, he raised his head, and the animal ears on top of his head moved invisibly.

In this posthouse full of corpses, he heard a very soft voice.

"How could this be?" Kaisen frowned, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Parker? Are you okay?" But the voice sounded again.

Kaisen showed his sharp claws and cautiously approached the voice.He walked towards the boy lying on the ground, slowly squatted down, and opened the stiff and cold hand.

Kaisen narrowed his animal pupils slightly, looking at the olive green magical object.

"Can you hear me, Parker..."

Now he can be sure that the sound he heard is coming from this gadget.

"Who are you? What is Parker?" Kaisen pursed his dry lips, and tried to ask the object in his hand with a tense face, "How did you make a sound from this thing?"

He didn't get a response immediately, and the faint light on the object disappeared in an instant.
