Chapter 473 The Lions are not as trustworthy as the Goblins
Things are really not going right with Ryan lately.
The border city was occupied, facing the orc invaders across the river. The Lane people clearly had boats, but they did not dare to rush over and take back their own land.
This was a great shame and humiliation, but after countless failures, the Lane people understood that relying on courage alone was meaningless.
Orcs are less afraid of death than Lane people, and in terms of shame, the orcs have been bullied by Lane for so many years, and they are the ones here to take revenge.
In terms of combat command, Angor Watson is indeed no match for the mysterious general.
After such a long period of inquiry, Ange Watson also knew the name of this difficult opponent - Urbano Pacheco.
A weak orc who was just over twenty years old and had never been on a battlefield before.
Urbano Pacheco was not born into a noble family. On the contrary, he was a "criminal" who was slightly better than a slave.
He was severely sentenced for theft and has been serving in prison.
Urbano Pacheco's body is not very strong either. He can only be said to be at the level of an ordinary orc. He is a qualified warrior when he picks up a weapon, that's all.
What really made him stand out was a battle against monsters. As a criminal, he was used as cannon fodder to attract monsters in the wild. Normally, he would be exempted from guilt if he could not die as bait.
But Urbano Pacheco did not risk his luck, but risked being whipped to death and proposed another battle plan to the lord.
The exact details are unknown, but the end result was a huge success for Urbano Pacheco's tactics. In this way Urbano Pacheco, who was only seventeen years old, was transformed from a criminal into a retainer of the lord.
Two years later, the orcs held a national martial arts performance in accordance with tradition. Urbano Pacheco relied on his commanding skills to help his lord win the championship, shocking the entire orc kingdom.
You must know that the soldiers under that lord are not even legendary, they are the kind who come to collect numbers and serve as cannon fodder.
But Urbano Pacheco is able to understand the movements of all opponents and skillfully lure those powerful opponents into a fight.
When the last two legendary orc warriors fell to the ground exhausted, Urbano Pacheco emerged as the winner and successfully won the championship.
In this battle, Urbano Pacheco became completely famous.
The orcs are not really brainless, they also hope that their commander can make them victorious in every battle. It's just that the previous orc general was taller among the dwarfs. His personal combat ability was very strong, but he could only scream and charge.
There is no problem in improving morale, but when a large army fights, the orcs are like a piece of loose sand.
This is also related to the environment in which they live.
The Orc Kingdom is full of high mountains and mountains, and it is impossible to carry out large-scale army operations. It is only a small group of elites fighting. In this case, it is not difficult to cultivate strong generals, but it is difficult to cultivate strategic talents. Without such soil, where can talents come from?
Even if a genius occasionally appears, it will be difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.
But Urbano Pacheco seemed to be the messenger sent by the orc **** Gruumsh. After winning the martial arts championship, many orcs were unconvinced and wanted to challenge, but as long as Urbano Pacheco was not allowed to fight alone, All challengers lost.
Only then did the orcs know that Urbano Pacheco had truly been blessed by the orc **** and could communicate spiritually with any orc at any distance. Although this blessing does not look like the style of this god, there is no doubt that it is powerful.
The Orcs had been preparing for Urbano Pacheco's abilities for a long time before launching this counterattack.
The results were so brilliant that everyone in Lane fell into passivity.
Although the Emerald River is wide enough, how long can it hold back these orcs?
The command level is not as good, the troops are insufficient, and even Ryan's most advantageous war equipment is not as good as the orcs.
Anger Watson stood on the city wall, looking at the black spots hovering in the sky, and couldn't help but punch the battlements.
The fist hurt, but the pain could not cover up Ange Watson's inner anxiety.
These things flying in the sky are getting closer and closer, and the reality in this city is probably clearly visible to the other party.
When the orcs attacked again, Ange Watson really didn't know if he could stop it.
This anxiety has been torturing Angor Watson until he heard the report from his personal guards that an image of a lich appeared on the magic mirror.
"It's finally here, it's finally here!"
Angor Watson never thought that one day he would worry about a lich, nor did he think that he would be relieved by a lich's reply. No matter how ironic it was, Ange Watson quickly ran into the council hall and came to the front of the magic mirror.
"Ultraman Master, are you finally free?"
Ange Watson's voice was trembling with excitement.
"Sorry, I was really busy some time ago. You know, the volcanic sea has not stabilized yet, and you ran away halfway. The other commanders are not as good as you, so it will not be so easy to fight."
Ange Watson's expression changed. He was not as naive as his brother Allen. The lich threw the responsibility on him in just one sentence, and he was afraid he would have to pay compensation in the next sentence.
Angor Watson has not been with this lich for a long time, but he knows the character of this lich very well, and he will not let go of the opportunity to open his mouth like a lion.
Sure enough, Amber Xiu's next sentence was: "For the sake of your brother and father, I won't mention the compensation matter. You have sent messages many times saying that Ryan is planning to buy an airship from me?"
Ange Watson's face was very ugly. The lich must have included the "compensation" into the price of the airship. There was absolutely no mistake. But Ange Watson had no choice now, so he could only grit his teeth and ask: "So, how much do you want, Master Ultraman?"
Amber Xiu in the magic mirror smiled and said: "Don't ask me the price so quickly. I have a question that needs to be confirmed. Are you buying on behalf of yourself or on behalf of Ryan? Ange, we are all old friends, you But don't be like your brother and be regarded as a traitor for making a deal with me. That would be so embarrassing.”
Ange Watson was so angry that he wanted to use the Holy Kill, but within a few words, the lich even accused himself of treason.
No, I lost my cool.
Would it do the Lich any good to frame him with a charge of treason? That's not what he meant.
Ange Watson couldn't figure out Amber Xiu's thoughts, so he asked: "Ultraman Master, this is not important to you, as long as I can afford the price, then the rest is my business ”
"Oh, Ange, you are too arrogant. It's not like you haven't used my airship before, but it is a special form of undead. You are Ryan. Using the undead for reconnaissance will have a more serious impact than losing the battle. I You don't want to turn around and put the responsibility on me, saying that I deceived you, and then put the blame for the defeat on me.”
Ange Watson said quickly: "When have we, Ryan, done this? Even when facing the undead, we will never put non-existent charges on each other's heads."
"Haha, you little emperor couldn't defeat the Githyanki and crushed your own soldiers to death. What's the result? It's clearly written on the wanted list that the blame lies with me."
"This... these are completely two different things!"
Amberxiu stretched out a finger and shook it, and said seriously to Ange Watson: "In my opinion, it's the same thing. Ange, I don't care what the judgment standards of you Lane people are. In my opinion, this is the same thing." It's a complete slander. It was Tiamat who summoned the Githyanki, and I was just a victim of her persecution. However, you didn't dare to settle accounts with this dragon goddess, and in the end you laid the blame on me.
"I'll tell you the truth, Ange. You Lane people have worse credibility with me than goblins. If you can't provide proof that the Lane Empire allows trading, I will never do business with you, lest I be betrayed by you later. You are cheating on me, and you are trying to frame me for several crimes.”
Angor Watson could hardly help but draw his sword and strike with the Holy Sword. This was the first time in his life that he heard someone compare Lane and Goblin, and it was also a matter of credibility.
But what made Ange Watson even more angry was that he couldn't refute it at all.
Although the lich was exaggerating, what he said was true to a certain extent.
As a paladin, Ange Watson couldn't tell lies with his eyes open.
However, Angor Watson was much more mature than Allen after all. He quickly forced himself to calm down and said to Amber Xiu with a wry smile: "Haha, was this how my brother felt back then? Master Ultraman's mouth is indeed full of laughter. Even the gods will be afraid. But, Ultraman Master, are you really worried about this? Even if you are the first on Ryan's wanted list, won't you be affected? As for the payment issue, you don't need to worry about it at all, because I can do it. Pay the full amount first.”
"Pay the full price first? Aren't you afraid that I won't deliver the goods to you after I take the money?" Amber Xiu asked.
Ange Watson said: "Although Master Ultraman thinks that Ryan has no credibility, in my opinion, you still value your credibility. You will not destroy the reputation you have built before for this small amount of money. The loss will be It's too big.”
"It's amazing. It turns out that among the sons born by James, Allen is the stupidest one."
It is true that Amberxiu did not prepare Black Lane's money, because doing so was indeed not worth the gain.
But Amber Xiu would not agree so easily.
"Ange, no matter what you promise, I will never believe you easily. After all, the orcs are my beloved relatives and friends, and doing business with you would be tantamount to betraying them. Not only will the price be very high, I also have a condition ”
Ange Watson quickly asked: "What are the conditions?"
Amberxiu said very seriously: "Let your emperor talk to me in person. Let him tell me personally that he allowed this transaction, and he will never turn his back on me. This condition is not an embarrassment to you, right?" ?”
