In late autumn at the beginning of October, the morning breeze on the field is as cool as a flowing stream. The rising sun shines through the light blue morning mist, shining brightly on the dew accumulated on the long grass leaves, like a string of swaying silver beads.The blades of grass are tall, but the road is not difficult to find. The deep ruts pressed the tall grass into the ground, and the large number of footprints further compacted the soil. The obvious clearing marks also widened the width of these temporary roads. width.

They were almost going straight all the way, and Fan Tianlan decided the direction of each side road, so they didn't take a detour.Sometimes there are some very hidden sentry posts on the road. The two pioneer representatives are very novel about the sentry’s location and way of hiding themselves. Although everyone who goes out has received at least three months of military training in the training camp, But obviously, when they were having a lot of fun outside, those who stayed in their hometown did not slow down their progress.

Fan Tianlan showed his familiarity with these skills. Considering that he was once the chief instructor of the first batch of members of the training camp, this familiarity was justified.

After passing a pond and climbing up a small slope, the group saw the headquarters' headquarters.

If you only look at the appearance and don't look at those who are wearing senior student uniforms, the base camp doesn't really look like what a military organization should look like. It's more like a relatively common small tribe with low mud huts and grass The sheds are scattered on the gentle slope, surrounded by a rough fence, and there are no traces of steel products and machinery for a while.The senior cadets who accompanied the group into the base camp said that three days ago, it was just a wilderness.

Only when you get close can you detect the abnormality of the details of this camouflaged tribe. The road conditions are actually good, but the cavalry cannot charge here. The arrangement of the various facilities in the base camp has been relatively complicated. Here, the base camp can organize several lines of defense with only the guards, stop them, and even nail them to death here; the mud huts and straw huts that look very low in the distance, when you get closer, you will find that they are not like It looked so cramped, the tent supported by the steel skeleton was tall and well-lit. Although it was simulating a field battlefield, it had almost everything inside, but the outside was more deceptively camouflaged.Although right now, it is almost impossible for them to face opponents who are equal to or better than them in terms of attack distance and weapon power, so that they have to hide their enemies when fighting, but that is only now.

A curious logic justifies all the hot weapons training programs in the training camp, because their weapons are so full of power, so there must be an enemy stronger than any possible opponent at present; because they will be in the In the future, they will encounter an unknown and powerful enemy, so they must make all preparations now.

The tent where the commander-in-chief of the exercise is located is not in the center of this disguised settlement, but in a corner to the southwest, with a house number hanging on it. It needs to be seen from a certain angle that there are two larger tents connected together. The same wire sticks out from the ground and leads to the distance.The first thing they saw when they entered the door was a large folding table in the center of the outer room. Two rows of round stools were placed under the table. There was a curtain hanging on the door of the room, and regular ticking sounds and low voices came from inside, indicating that the communication work was in progress.The commander with short silver-gray hair was sitting at the table, facing the map. After they entered, he turned his head.

"How?" Takla said.

"It's not good." Fan Tianlan said.

"I don't think so much either." Takla said calmly.

He stood up.It's hard to say if it's because of the visual impression given by the uniform. He looks tough and stern. His short hair is getting closer to metal, and his eyes are like blades.But after he laughed, he seemed to be back to his old self.

"Long time no see." He said to Fan Tianlan, then turned to look at the other two, and called out their names, "You guys are doing a good job outside."

"We did very well," said the pioneer representative who came back from Orbis.

"I just did what I could." The representative of Xinmaxi City said, "On the contrary, after returning, the changes in the training camp surprised us. Not only did the team become bigger, the organization became more complicated, and many places followed us. The time is completely different, and the level of organization and training methods have opened up a fundamental gap with the traditional military outside."

"It can be seen that our current advantage is not limited to weapons." The representative of Orbis said.

"The biggest advantage is the weapon." Takla said in his signature lazy tone, "Others... are still far from the goal."

"What is our goal?" After sitting down, the representative of Orbis King's Capital asked.

"Liberate all mankind," Takla said.

"..."

"..."

Fan Tianlan was sitting on the side, holding a water glass in his hand. Although there were materials in front of him, his eyes were not focused, and he was empty.

Then the two representatives laughed, and Takla laughed too.

"Like a dream, isn't it?" Takla said.

"Sounds right," said the representative of New Mahic City.

"No one, nor an organization, including any religion, would have such a dream." The representative of Orbis King's Capital said, "But—"

"—but," said Takla, propping his head up, "so what?"

"So what? Yes." Orbis' representative said, "Why do we go out and do so many things without the purpose of benefiting others?"

"Only a noble purpose can truly unite people." The representative of Xinmaxi City said, "People are not animals, and they don't think about other things except survival and reproduction. Besides, animals also form their own bodies for survival and reproduction. Society. Of course, if we start off by saying, ah, poor people, we are here to help you, then people will take us for liars and turn away."

"At the same time, we are also confused about why we should share our construction results with others. Why? Why?" Orbis representative said.

"It's like those noble grandpas are also asking us angrily, why? Why? Why are we so proud and don't bow to them; why can't they take away the wealth we created?" said the representative of Xinmaxi City Said, "Blood lineage, inheritance, history, they took out a pile of musty and smelly rags, saying that they have been the masters of the land and people since ancient times, and that everything good should be theirs. Not worthy to speak to them."

Takla laughed.

"When we beat them up, no one will talk nonsense." The Orbis representative said with a smile, "Although we also give them a place to express their opinions, arguing with them is like meeting face to face. Even if you look into their eyes and tell them your beliefs in a very solemn tone, they will either be deaf or unable to hear, just chatter, repeating their "natural" over and over again Reasonable, it seems that we can't live without people; or we can curse loudly, saying that we are wishful thinking, we are treasonous, no one will accept our tricks, even beggars will spontaneously rise up against us, and we heretics will die ugly one day. "

"However, the more stubborn they are into a dung ball, the better it is for our work." The representative of New Mahic City said, "If they are convinced as soon as they lose, there may still be many people who doubt us. Is it right, because even if they are so unwilling to lose, there are already people who think this way - the reason why people were so poor and hungry in the past is because they didn't have technology, tools and seeds, as long as they can get these things, we don't need outsiders to come Force them to work hard, and the gentlemen will distribute these good things to let them live a good life. Because as long as they become rich, the wealth of the gentlemen will naturally increase. What do the gentlemen have? Why not?"

"This kind of thinking cannot be said to be completely wrong. After all, the nobles are not without conscientious people, but these rare examples can't prove anything, just like the conscience of the nobles has never really changed anything. When working, there are nobles Find us and swear that as long as we make him king, he will give us official status and support free trade." The representative of Orbis said, "Although it's a bit funny, it's like we did a good job A table of meals, bowls and chopsticks are already at hand, he said that as long as he sits on the main seat, we can be allowed to eat. Let alone why we must find a king for ourselves, what the nobleman said has been It was their most constructive suggestion, and none of the things they would earnestly want to discuss with us were about the greatest number of people in this city and this country."

"If the country is like a farmland or a pasture, the people are like the crops in the field and the cattle and sheep in the pasture." The representative of Xinmaxi City said, "But farmers care about their crops, and herders also care about their cattle. The sheep accompany them day and night, and the nobles also say that they care about their people, but they neither sow nor plow, nor guarantee their most basic survival needs, nor give them any chance to change their destiny, but require them to hand over most of their money. Not only that, but they also use various methods, including but not limited to clothing, housing, guards of honor, and even language to isolate themselves from the people. They don’t want to look like they are the same kind of life as ordinary people.”

"While for them and many others in their territories this is indeed a reasonable order, it is not for us," said the Orbis representative, "We don't really have to The idea of ​​doing something, we still remember the old days, we know it's supposed to be the same outside, but we just want to do business, see new things, and not really care how other people are doing. But the idea is Incorrect."

"Because we are not passing tourists, when we want to live in a place, we have to care about the environment around us, and we have to deal with our neighbors." The representative of Xinmahi City said, "The magician wants us to Look 'in the world, and we see ourselves in these people we have to touch. We can't be indifferent to others screaming from hunger and pain."

"After people gain respect and freedom, they will never want to go back to the old life, whether we are in the league or outside the league. But outside, there are too few ways to get respect." Obi Said the representative.

“We just did a little bit of work and it was selfish,” said a representative of New Mahic City, “but they couldn’t stand even that.”

"Contradictions are indeed irreconcilable. They think they hold the truth, and we think we are right. This is the bottom line of survival. No one wants to back down, so struggle is inevitable. Not only in these two cities, I think Wherever the old order is running, that's what we're going to do if we go," the Orbis representative said, "and then, through these struggles, people choose us."

"Maybe at the beginning, it was just because it seemed more profitable, or because we had a stronger force, so they decided to take a line," said the representative of New Mahic City. "They didn't trust us. , not to mention loyalty. But now the situation has clearly changed."

"Just like ourselves, when we are used to the present life, almost no one wants to go back to the past." Orbis representative said.

"But it's not just the application of technology and the abundance of living materials that have changed all of this." The representative of New Mahi City said, "Technology and materials are of course very important, but they are not the most important. People realize through the construction of the new city , the rule of the aristocracy is not necessary, they can have other options, this option requires people to pool their strength together, and play a role they have never imagined."

"Just like iron powder concentrated on a magnet, people change their living position and change their thinking at the same time." Two representatives said, "This is what we will talk about in this report."

Takla was silent for a while.

"That's good," he said. "That way, we look forward more and more to the day when we make a difference."

In the field under the autumn sun, the wind blowing from the north blows over the golden green pastures, like blowing across a huge rustling lake. Within a huge range that almost covers the vision of ordinary people, a battle beyond the common sense of conventional warfare The artillery positions were deployed.

The heavy wheels left footprints of war beasts on the ground. At the end of the footprints, the steel brackets were buried deep in the ground. Next to the squatting steel giants, the training camp students in gray and green cotton clothes bulged their arms, Vigorously shaking the mechanical arm, under their operation, the thick barrel raised its head in a slow and threatening gesture, pointing the abyss-like hole obliquely to the other side of the earth.

Outside the end of ordinary people's field of vision, a rough and vast temporary project spread out on a piece of high ground, although it is only surrounded by stones, clods of soil and trees to form some square-like patterns, it is very simple, and there is no corner that can be called a building. , but it's really big, almost as big as a city in the conventional sense, maybe you can't see anything special on the flat ground, but if someone can look at it from the sky, they will find that these irregular shapes are the same It can almost completely correspond to the urban pattern on a platform.

The warm sunlight fell from the sky and fell on the bright feathers of the eagles. The vigorous birds of prey hovered silently in the sky, and their golden eyes stared at the steel on the earth and the human beings attached to the steel like prey.Some people spotted them, maybe some conversation, but no visible action.

On the edge of the position, someone raised a crossbow arrow towards them, but put it down after a while.In the observation position, Takla said: "Of course there should be more audiences. 'Exercise', how can we just show it to ourselves?"

He raised his head and looked at the flock of eagles in the sky, and his eyes covered one of them. Under the autumn sun, his eyes were almost completely golden. From this distance, he should only be able to see the body of this bird of prey. The outline of the eagle, but these golden eyes seem to directly meet the vigilant pupils of this eagle, and they are deeply imprinted in its brain, causing a strange change in its flying posture, and the giant eagle flaps its wings However, the circling radius is getting smaller and smaller, and the head is always facing in one direction, even if it flies far away, the body is twisted.

He looked at it, and that gaze was like a chain, preventing it from escaping.

Then the eagle fell from the sky.It froze its wings and fell halfway, then struggled as if remembering its instinct to fly, and its terrified roar pierced the air. It was not until Takla turned his sights into the distance that it finally overcame gravity and climbed back into the sky.And behind its embarrassing posture was an almost equally embarrassing orc.

"He can see me!" he said in horror.

"He saw your eagle?" someone asked.

"No..." gasped Hawkman said, "He saw 'me', he saw me! Those are magic eyes!"

"A power talent that has never been seen before," said the shaman.

"Since you are under the command of the famous sorcerer, you will naturally have some power." The red-haired fox clan prime minister said, "Is this a pair of 'clairvoyance', or can it do more things?"

"To understand, fight him once," said the shaman.

"But if we don't know the details of his talent, how can we guarantee that we can kill him?" A black leopard man said, "This human kid can command people in that position, is he the big man in charge of the army? If we can Kill him, even if he dies, it's worth it."

"Attacking a leader who is at least a thousand commanders, is this to provoke a war between the royal court and this monster alliance?" a Silver Fox clansman whispered, "Let's just see what they mean by 'exercise' , since they want to show their strength with us, how could they not be prepared?"

"But we have crossed the limit they said, what happened?" said the black panther man, "There is nothing here, no people, no horses, just some stones and branches, what kind of battlefield? Even the eagles flew away So far. Did they draw the line somewhere and say that all the places here are their territory?"

"They don't need to do this." The silver fox said, "After the city of Az is destroyed, all the nearby tribes will submit to them. Since then, no one has regarded the land here as belonging to the royal court."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, but the words about Az City still hurt the Prime Minister of the Fox Clan.He glanced back at the fox clan, who lowered his head obediently and refused to meet his gaze.Ambitious, but a piece of shit.The prime minister snorted in his heart, and walked forward, leaving these snarky subjects behind.

The long wind blew through the swaying trees, and the fallen leaves were like rain. The wind drove the curled dry fallen leaves to roll in the almost dry river bed, and the thin water seeped out from under the piled fallen leaves without even whimpering. The camp was built at the end of this tortuous river, centered on the eagle who can observe with eagle eyes, and the capable orcs discussed in low voices in the open space of the camp. When the prime minister left, no one followed ignorantly. He kept walking. At the edge of the camp, two people stood by a large rock and looked into the distance.

Spots of sunlight fell on their shoulders through the shade of the trees, and among the fluttering red leaves, the fox woman covered in glass jewels turned her head.

"Prime Minister," she said.

"Queen," said the chancellor.

He walked to them, and together with the queen, they looked at the Tiger Clan standing on the edge of the cliff like an iron tower, with their heads almost touching the treetops, with dark skin and lumpy muscles.Although the orcs never wear the cumbersome crowns of those humans, few people fail to recognize the current king of the orcs.

"King," he whispered.

Wang didn't respond to him, didn't even give him a look, the rough face just looked at the distant sky.The prime minister stood quietly one step away from the king, invisible terror oppressed his breath, not only looked like a monster on the outside, but the beast king did have the power to tear tigers and leopards apart, and more than once killed those who dared to The orcs who resisted him were torn to pieces, and even the prime minister couldn't guarantee whether it would be his turn next.This is a rare and powerful king, but——

He was also a king who had never experienced such humiliation.

He has infinite power, but he still has to watch the human beings cut up his land and divide his people, and he also has to watch those traitors bring the human beings who are going to destroy this country to him, saying——

I hope Wang Ting will not choose war blindly.The consequence is not good for them.

All the orcs there gasped.

What arrogance!

Facing such an arrogant enemy, the Beastmaster, who has been in unspeakable pain all year round, was naturally furious. He immediately roared, stood up from the blood-stained throne, and swung his claws towards the group of extremely arrogant messengers. When the massacre was about to happen, someone among the retreating Alliance envoys threw something between them and the Beastmaster. The sound of the small and fragile container shattering could hardly be heard, but the things that escaped from it rose in the next moment. Standing up, it enveloped the Beastmaster like a fluttering veil, and burned him into a huge torch under the inconceivable eyes of everyone.

The sudden change made people do not know how to deal with it. The roar of the beast king was not human. In the bloody flames, his body was also undergoing terrifying changes. He seemed to melt, and something terrible broke through. The skin grew out, turning him into something unimaginable in nightmares. The orc nobles standing in the front retreated repeatedly under the instinctive fear, screams resounded through the hall, and guards rushed in from the passage and the gate , but was stunned by the scene in front of him, and soon someone thought of arresting the envoys of the alliance first, but what greeted them was the scream of the queen.

These daring people hijacked the queen and formed an unbreakable formation. They used the queen's life to threaten everyone to be immobilized. They could neither attack them nor approach the... monster that was rolling on the ground.

The envoys of the alliance stalemate with the people in the main hall for a long time, until the great shaman of the ascetic monastery rushed over. At this time, the fire on the Beastmaster's body was almost burnt out, and the nightmarish twisted figure turned into a monster. There was a red mud wriggling on the ground, and then, also under the eyes of everyone, a tiger man's head emerged from the blood swamp. He struggled like a person who was really stuck in the swamp, and tried his best to get out of it. The man who had crawled out raised his bewildered face, which was recognized.

He is the king of beasts.

But not the Beastmaster—not the Beastmaster who had gone through the secret rituals of the Penitentiary, like a living weapon on a throne, but the original Tiger Clan orc.
