This lich needs more money

Chapter 505 The Orc King’s mountain-shattering blow

Winter is coming, and the temperature this winter is particularly low. Not only has Llane suffered from snowstorms in large areas, but also the two kingdoms of Emerald Dream Forest and Silvermoon Highgarden, which rarely snow, have experienced blizzards.

However, in this era where magic is prevalent, the snow disaster alone will not have much impact.

As long as the upper echelons of the kingdom are willing to spare no effort in manpower and material resources to provide disaster relief, then all they need to do is send a large number of magicians and priests to cast spells everywhere.

Problems such as unblocking and rescuing people, transporting food, etc. can be easily solved in a kingdom with enough spellcasters.

Ryan was known to be kind to the people, so when the snow disaster hit, the Bright Priests went out en masse and quickly alleviated the nascent disaster.

There is no need to worry about the druids and elves, their caster ratio is still higher than Ryan.

Only the dwarf kingdom declared a state of emergency. They had just migrated from the desert and were unable to keep up with the food supply. However, the Alchemy Association helped Amber perform two plays and got a lot of benefits from the druids.

Of course, the druids didn't have much gold, so they used food to pay off their debts.

When the food from Emerald Dream Forest was delivered, the winter crisis in the Dwarf Kingdom was alleviated.

The dwarf king praised Amber Xiu in the palace, saying that the lich really had no plans at all. He had even calculated the shortage of food in the dwarf kingdom, and used the druid's food to solve the problem, which just made them grateful.

Llane, elves, dwarves and druids can survive the winter smoothly, but the orcs have a bit of a problem.

Originally, the mountainous area where the orcs were located did not enter winter so early, and it was three or four months later than Ryan. But this year is too weird. The temperature is plummeting at the same rate across the continent. The orcs and mountains have also entered the cold winter, and the disaster has been more serious than other kingdoms.

Because the orc kingdom is now heavily militarized and all its efforts are focused on border wars, the old, weak, women and children at home will be a little unable to withstand this kind of cold.

A large number of elderly and young children died due to low temperature and lack of food.

In the entire orc kingdom, only their royal capital can still maintain food and clothing. The endless thunder in the sky was converted into magic power to provide heating for the whole city. Although food was in short supply, no matter how hungry, it was not the turn of the nobles of the royal capital.

The Orc King didn't even look at the disaster reports that were reported. He only did one thing every day recently, and that was to wield the two-handed ax called "Blood Wedding".

On the surface, this artifact, a two-handed ax, was bought by the Lane people at a huge price, but the Lane people didn't know that this artifact was actually a pair.

From the beginning, Bloody Wedding was a pair of axes.

It looks like a huge two-handed axe, but in fact it is just a pair of axes to the Orc King, because he is naturally much taller than ordinary orcs, and he is even more powerful.

In the blizzard, the Orc King wielded his giant ax with one hand and slashed with all his strength towards the mountain in front of him.

The ax struck in the wind and snow, never touching the mountain, but seemed to have struck an entity. The ax stopped in mid-air, and scarlet light condensed on the ax.

One axe, two axes... The orc king waved his battle ax crazily, hitting the air every time, but he tried his best every time.

Until the red light on the ax was able to pierce the wind and snow, illuminating the surrounding area in a blood-red color.

At this time, the orc king turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the mountain in front of him. This time he struck the mountain heavily with his axe.

Blazing red light burst out at this moment, and a powerful impact exploded directly in front of him.

With a loud noise, a huge crack appeared on the mountain peak higher than the city wall. The mountain began to shake, and then quickly collapsed.

Tens of thousands of tons of boulders fell, making a muffled sound louder than thunder in the valley. The successive impacts caused the violent wind and snow to change directions.

The Orc King carefully inspected the ax in his hand and made sure that the blade on it was intact, and he burst out laughing. "It is indeed an artifact blessed by Talos. Finally, there is a weapon that can withstand my power! I will use this ax to chop off Emperor Ryan's head!"

The wind was howling and the snow was raging, but nothing could cover the orc king's stalwart figure.

"With this artifact, your majesty will definitely be able to kill Emperor Ryan. This time, our orc kingdom will surely establish an unparalleled great cause!"

The octopus-headed Mind Flayer standing aside also clapped vigorously, even though the ice and snow weather was an unbearable torture for the Mind Flayer.

The orc king gently wiped the ax blade and asked without raising his head: "What's the latest news?"

"Your Majesty, the Seven Southwest Peaks have sent another request for help due to lack of food. Half of the ropeways have been broken due to heavy snow..."

Urbano Pacheco was about to report, but was rudely interrupted by the Orc King: "That's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about the news from the Lich. In which winter people don't starve to death? You need to tell me something?”

Urbano Pacheco was helpless. This orc king didn't like to reason. His identity was too embarrassing. Once he was abandoned by the orc king, he would definitely die. Therefore, Urbano Pacheco is the "die loyal" of the Orc King. No matter whether His Majesty is a cowardly tyrant or not, Urbano Pacheco can only stand firmly by his side, even if he is a flattering and traitorous minister. No matter what.

"There is good news from our Lich allies. The wedding process has been arranged, ensuring that Your Majesty will have the opportunity to challenge Emperor Ryan to a duel, but he once again sent a reminder. The power of the dragon's armed forces is greater than anyone imagined. It's scary, I hope you can be prepared if necessary, I'm afraid..."

Urbano Pacheco hesitated for a moment, and the Beastman King asked impatiently: "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid we need to unite with others to defeat Emperor Ryan. I hope your majesty can cooperate with the warriors of other kingdoms."

As soon as Urbano Pacheco finished saying this, the Orc King roared: "Do I need to join forces with someone else? Just because of Ryan, the loser who was beaten to **** by the Githyanki?!"

Urbano Pacheco sighed in his heart, the Orc King was really an idiot, he couldn't do anything but have big fists.

But there is no way. On the orc side, big fists are the truth.

The fists of the contemporary Beastman King are so big that even the whole country cannot find a suitable weapon for him to use.

The Orc King's legendary talent allows him to accumulate every attack he makes in the air, and explode it all at once after hitting the target. Theoretically, as long as the weapon can withstand it, the Orc King can be infinitely stacked to kill a **** with an axe.

In the past, even the strongest weapons in the Orc Kingdom could not withstand the power exerted by him after five superpositions, and a mace made of pure steel would break into pieces. The Orc Kingdom is not very good at forging magical weapons, so that the Orc King has been unable to exert his full power for so many years.

The Orc King always felt that he could not defeat the Silver Moon Knight because he could not find a suitable weapon, otherwise he would not be afraid of the dying old man at all. After getting this artifact ax, he felt that the Silver Moon Knight died too early, otherwise he would chop off the old man's head on the battlefield.

Facing Emperor Ryan who had been humiliated on the battlefield, the Orc King didn't take him seriously at all.

But Urbano Pacheco knew very well that he could make the Lich prepare as if he were facing a huge enemy. This Emperor Lion was definitely not simple. If the Orc King was so careless, problems would easily occur.

Urbano Pacheco could not refute the irritable king, but could only say tactfully: "Your Majesty, your bravery is unmatched in the world, but if the Lane people do not respect martial ethics and take those legendary paladins with them, you will I’m afraid it will be difficult to kill all the paladins before the opponent escapes. Therefore, allies are necessary and we cannot just watch Emperor Ryan escape.”

The Orc King thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense, then he said to Urbano Pacheco: "Then you go and tell the Lich that if Emperor Ryan is too timid to fight with me one-on-one, I will I don’t mind cooperating with others, but remember to remind those losers not to get in my way.”

"Definitely, I will definitely remind him."

Urbano Pacheco breathed a sigh of relief, but what he was thinking about was, if the Orc King died in battle, should he surrender to Ryan or prepare a retreat in advance to run away and live in seclusion?

Be careful, there is no big mistake, the Mind Flayer Empire is gone, and preparing for the worst in advance is the motto of their race.

Urbano Pacheco looked up at the snowy sky, and couldn't help but think: Ultraman Master, I hope you are really fully prepared. If you fail, who will be affected this time? Just too much.
