Chapter 463: Stop being a human being
Amber Xiu has a great adventure with the princess under the sea, and the other side of the continent is also exciting.
The war on the mainland seems to have changed since the emergence of the lich Amber Xiu.
Ryan, who was originally invincible, finally began to fail, and his defeats became more ugly every time.
Let's not talk about the scene where Emperor Lion crushed one of his men to death. I can barely say that the Githyanki caught Lion off guard, but there's really no excuse when he was pinned to the ground and hammered by the orcs later.
This time the orcs used all the strength of the country and sent out all the elite orcs. The number of legendary strongmen on the frontal battlefield was slightly more than Ryan's.
Ryan can't do this, because he has offended too many people over the years, and the border with the orcs needs to be guarded by strong people. The situation in Emerald Dream Forest seems to be not right recently, and the druids may not be able to add insult to injury.
As for the old land of Unclean Ode that has become a volcanic sea, it is now almost occupied by the undead, and the undead are Ryan's mortal enemies.
After fighting for so long and spending so much manpower and material resources, in the end we were still surrounded by enemies on all sides, as if the previous victories were all fake.
This time, the orcs not only showed strong high-end combat power, but also showed unusual commanding power.
In the past, ordering the reconnaissance team to move ten meters was a military joke.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. By the time your order arrives at the front, you don't know what the situation will be. Therefore, generals can only make predictions in advance.
Through understanding the enemy and yourself, through constant testing, and through offensive and defensive orders, you can force the enemy into your own trap, thereby gaining an advantage on the battlefield.
Victory thousands of miles away is definitely not a joke, but an ability that a general must possess.
Angor Watson is considered the most outstanding general among the younger generation. Even though he is not a legend, his ability to command troops is the best in the country.
I have to say that the genes of my predecessor, the Supreme Judgment, were quite strong. He gave birth to three sons, all of whom have their own talents and are outstanding in their own way.
But Ange Watson still lost to the orc general whose name he had never heard of on the battlefield.
It was obvious that Ange Watson had already calculated the direction of the attack of the orc army, designed the traps, cleared all the spies sent by the orcs, and waited for the other party to fall into the trap. But these orcs were able to escape despite stepping into the trap. They all had clairvoyance and could see how the encirclement narrowed, and they could find the weakest point to break out of the encirclement.
This kind of thing happens once or twice, but the fact is that it happens every time.
All the tactical intentions of the Lane people, as long as one orc sees it, it is equivalent to being seen by the entire orc army.
Then there is the transmission of orders. The orcs have a means of transmitting orders faster than the magic mirror.
The orcs once created an outrageous tactic of repeatedly fighting for high ground throughout the day, as if they had accurately calculated the time difference between the Laine people coming back and forth. Every time, the orcs climbed up faster than the Laine people, and waited on the mountain for the Laine people to come. Fight hard from the top, and then quickly retreat.
When the Lane people thought that the orcs had really escaped, the large force wanted to catch up, but found that the orcs circled around and came back to attack. They made perfect use of the orcs' advantages on the mountainous terrain, and every time they struck, the Lions were caught off guard. He can truly gather and disperse as he wishes, transport troops like a god, and bring all enemies under his command.
Ange Watson initially thought that there were many outstanding orc commanders on the front line, who could decipher his tactical arrangements according to local conditions, but in the end he found that the front line was full of warriors, the most common predator troops of the orcs. This kind of army can only It's too difficult for them to use these exquisite tactics when they scream for a charge.
There is a mysterious opponent controlling this orc army, and the opponent's intelligence is transmitted incredibly fast.
Ange Watson tried to take advantage of this and send the wrong message to his opponent, but he got some results at first, and the opponent learned smarter the second time.
The opponent not only has a way to quickly transmit information, but he is also an extremely outstanding general who can make adjustments according to the situation on the battlefield anytime and anywhere.
What's even more amazing is that all orcs are willing to obey his command.
When these fearless orcs obey the orders of a powerful commander, this army will become very terrifying.
But at this time, Ryan and the orcs were still going back and forth, and the loss was not too ugly.
The real problem is that it is difficult for the Lane people to accept this kind of defeat. They have always been invincible, but now they are being bullied by the orcs?
People began to have negative opinions about Ange Watson. After all, his family was too sensitive.
A father who resigned as the supreme judge, and a younger brother who was suspected of being a separatist. These things combined together make others think too much.
Did Ange Watson lose on purpose?
This rumor spread, and Ryan had to make a temporary change.
And something went wrong with this change.
Originally, Ange Watson could still fight back and forth with the opponent, but after changing the generals, the orcs immediately noticed the change in the opponent's command method and chose to carry out night attacks one after another.
A feint attack can turn into a full-out attack at any time. A full-out charge just now can turn into a feint attack. A retreat can turn into a rout. When you watch the rout and catch up, you find that you have been ambushed.
This almost magical command method left the newly appointed General Lane at a loss as to what to do. It was not at all in line with the way he had learned to lead troops for half his life.
The result was that in just a few days, Ryan suffered a huge defeat, an extremely tragic loss.
The people of Lane are still accustomed to the power of the paladin legion. They are not afraid of death, and their will is as strong as steel. Even in desperate situations, it is possible to turn defeat into victory.
General Lane habitually released the paladin army, hoping to turn defeat into victory at critical moments.
Under normal circumstances, it is possible. Ryan has many times in history where he has defeated more with less, which was achieved by the Paladin Legion.
But this time the result was completely different.
Ryan's paladin army is not afraid of death, but so are the orcs. They shout for revenge and rush to fight you.
They were all elite legions that could fight to the last man, but the other side had the advantage in terms of tactics, and the results were predictable.
An entire legion of paladins was wiped out. Two thousand paladins and three hundred priests of light died on the battlefield. Then a border city was lost, and 20,000 people from Lane were captured by the orcs.
Although Ange Watson suffered repeated defeats, the most he could do was shrink the front line, but he never tried to lose a city directly.
After this battle, everyone in Lane understood.
It's not that Ange Watson deliberately lost the battle, but this time his opponent was incredibly powerful.
Emperor Lane directly held a meeting and took all the blame on himself. He ignored the past remarks that slandered Ange Watson. At the same time, he gave Ange Watson the highest authority in the military. Then there was only one request - the Lane people can no longer be lost. Any piece of land.
Anger Watson was ordered to do something in danger and could only work hard to regroup.
Angor Watson brought all the magic mirrors he could find to the front line. Taking advantage of the opponent's complete victory and a little slack, he devoured the two lone teams of the orcs and barely blocked the further invasion of the orcs.
Then Ange Watson relied on the terrain of the Emerald River to block the orcs' front.
The Emerald River is more than three hundred meters wide and is the second largest river in Lane. The orcs must cross this river if they want to continue their attack. The Lane people were on tight defense, and the orcs really couldn't break through for a while.
The orcs have boats. After all, they also have a coastline, but sea boats cannot enter the river, and they have no way to move the boats to the Emerald River.
Therefore, the orcs began to use other methods.
Use the lives of the Leen people in exchange for the Leen people's ships.
After the border city was captured by the orcs, they did not directly massacre as usual, but locked up all the living people, and now pushed them in front of the Lane people, using the lives of these people to threaten the Lane people.
This is the first time in Ryan's history.
In the past, those who offended the Lane would be punished no matter how far away they were. The dwarves just sidetracked the border transactions and defrauded the Lane people of their money. What followed was a series of wars until the dwarves lost half of the desert.
Now, it's the Lane's turn to make a decision.
Should we save the lives of nearly 20,000 Lane people? If saved, it would be equivalent to giving this group of orcs the opportunity to continue invading Lane.
The Lane people could not hesitate for too long, because the orcs had already started killing people, killing one person a day, regardless of age or sex, and they were killing them across the river in front of all the Lane people.
This time, Lane is cornered.
Just when Ange Watson was under tremendous pressure, Emperor Ryan gave a direct order not to allow any compromise with the orcs.
With this order, Emperor Ryan directly pushed himself to the forefront, but at the same time, he allowed Ange Watson to block all pressure. The finger pointed at Emperor Lane's cruelty and inhumanity, and the situation was once again turbulent.
The orcs were not polite. Since the Lane people were so determined, they could not leave 20,000 people to eat their own rations. They simply killed them all and threw them into the Emerald River.
The river turned red for a while, and the corpses drifted with the water until they were all salvaged ashore by the Lane people.
There were 20,000 men, women, and children. This tragic situation made all the Lane people red-eyed, but there was nothing they could do.
They resented the brutal orcs, and also resented their emperor.
It doesn't matter if soldiers die defending their homes and country, why should these civilians' lives be exchanged?
However, this doubt soon disappeared.
Because after all the corpses were recovered, Emperor Ryan appeared in the form of a time dragon. This silver-white dragon used almost divine power to go back in time and resurrect all 20,000 people.
This scene left everyone stunned.
Resurrecting 20,000 people, is this still something a mortal can do?
No wonder His Majesty the Emperor said he would never compromise. It turned out that he had a way to save everyone. This is the far-sighted emperor, and this is the destiny of the people of Lane!
As much as the public dissatisfaction boiled before, Emperor Ryan was now loved by everyone.
But only the common people felt happy, and everyone who knew anything was already worried about the health of His Majesty the Emperor.
Time has weight, and the same years have different weights for different people. It is not difficult to look back on a stone for a thousand years, but even the gods may not be able to look back on Arthur Lane's thousand years.
It is not difficult to make everyone in the Imperial Capital one year younger, but to bring these 20,000 people from a dead state back to a living state, even their souls need to be restored. The souls that went to the kingdom of God, went to hell, or were directly dissipated will be restored to their original state. The total weight of this is very terrifying.
The greater the impact of reversing time, the greater the pressure.
His Majesty the Emperor has to pay a price every time he uses the magic dragon weapon. If not, wouldn't it be enough to just let the emperor transform into a magic dragon and turn all the orcs into infants?
And just as everyone thought, Emperor Ryan never appeared in front of everyone after resurrecting 20,000 people, and could only stay in the palace to "recuperate".
But unlike what outsiders imagined, Emperor Ryan was not bedridden and dying.
Instead, he was in a frantic state, pounding the walls and the ground. The body has gradually merged with the dragon's weapons. The little emperor Price Lane has extremely powerful power. Every punch can shatter hard rocks.
Unfortunately, there is little point in doing so.
The tearing pain is spreading, this pain comes from the soul, and no medicine or treatment can take effect.
"Damn it! You lied to me! I'm going to die, I'm going to die from pain!"
Price Lane's face was covered with veins and he was roaring like crazy.
And in his mind, another voice sounded: "Calm down, my Majesty. Just like you, I am also suffering from the pain of soul tearing. Moreover, I have told you the result from the beginning. We You have not yet mastered the power of the Time Dragon in its heyday, and the side effects are inevitable, but the effort is worth it for the reputation, and now you are moving step by step to a position greater than Arthur Lane!"
"I don't care. I'd rather those 20,000 people die than suffer this kind of pain! It hurts, it really hurts. I'm going to kill you! You're a liar!"
"Just bear with it, bear with it for a while and it will be fine, and your soul will slowly recover."
"I can't bear it! Didn't you say that your soul is also damaged? Why don't you feel pain?"
"The strength of the dragon soul is much stronger than that of humans. Of course, another reason is that I inherited the memory of the demon dragon, so my willpower is stronger. If you really can't bear it, I can give you a transformation The soul's method can relieve some of your pain."
"Tell me, tell me now!"
Price Lane has smashed this room into pieces, but the severe pain in his mind has not slowed down at all, and now he is not willing to even tell him that eating feces and drinking urine can relieve the headache.
"Don't agree so readily. This method also has side effects. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
The tone of the dragon soul Atros, who had recovered from the dragon's weapon, had changed slightly, but Price Lane couldn't care about it at all now. He was already rolling on the ground in pain.
"What are the side effects?! Tell me quickly, I can't bear it anymore!"
Atros said in a deep voice: "Using this method, your soul will gradually transform into a dragon soul. At that time, you will no longer be a human being."
"That doesn't matter, I'm no longer a human being!"
As Price Lane roared, a strange energy merged into his soul, quickly soothing the severe pain.
But memories that didn't belong to him also flooded in.
When Price Lane got up from the ground, his right eye changed from a blue human pupil to a golden vertical dragon pupil.
The little emperor sighed with emotion: "Finally, I don't have to endure this stupid waste anymore. Arthur, I will come to you soon. You wait for me at the Lich."
