Chapter 374 The Glory of the Beastmen
Anti and Rafafar came to the other side of the ice tower forest.
Before, the Eagle Man was found just by glancing at Anti from a distance. Now he has even met Anti face to face. It is a luxury to completely get rid of Anti.
"Why would orcs mingle with the zombies?" Anti and Rafafar discussed this question on the way.
Anti, who had studied the history of the Pillar God era, knew that the beastmen and the corpse-eating demons had fought a war.
And it was a fierce fight, the kind that directly pierced through the corpse-eating demon.
The beast tribe was full of talented beasts back then. The corpse-eating demons were good at group fighting, so how could the wild beasts not be good at it? The Pillar God of Beasts could even symbolically suppress the corpse-eating demons.
The Ghouls with primitive and backward habits were actually able to provide assistance to the Pillar God on the battlefield. The Ghouls King said that he was completely unable to lead them, and finally they were defeated in an epic battle.
As a result, the descendants of the orcs and the descendants of the corpse-eating demons have now gotten together. I can only say that history is so magical.
"It is obvious that they are now demanding something from each other. Perhaps this is related to the orcs' purpose in Mount Zenith." Rafafar said this and fell into deep thought.
It seems like there is some clue.
Anti gave him space to think, and he went down a slide, moved some ice away and found a cave.
The scent was very strong, but there was no reaction from any living being. It seemed that they had already evacuated. They had moved very quickly. There was still some fishy smell left inside, and it was obvious that the thing hiding here had left not long ago.
Ok?
Anti discovered a presence other than that of the orcs.
And there are corpse-eating demons.
The relationship is so good? They even live together.
Rafafar followed him into the cave, and frowned slightly at the lingering smell in the cave: "This stench should come from the corpse-eating demons. Mature orcs rarely eat raw meat and drink blood."
After the two men tracked the enemy, they did not encounter any ambush in the cave. They followed the enemy all the way to the sunlight. When they reached the hillside and looked into the distance, they found that there were mountains upon mountains in front of them, making it difficult to see clearly.
They had already passed the forest of ice towers, and not far in front of them was the ruins of a dynasty.
You can vaguely see the movement of the Undead Fighting Spirit.
"They have gone deep into the Zenith Mountains." Looking at the route in front of us, although it is somewhat different from the planned route of the exploration team, the overall direction is correct.
The ruins of the dynasty of Lebanon, the cooperation between the zombies and the orcs, what is the connection between these things?
"Sky City?" At this time, Rafafar said a word.
Anti looked over and asked, "What?"
"During the heyday of the orcs, their craftsmanship reached an astonishing level. At that time, they built a magnificent city, which was the result of all their craftsmanship. That city was even more stunning than Andemiye."
Rafafar's tone was as if he was telling a fairy tale: "A sky city suspended high in the sky, Gulan Sgeti. The moment the city flew into the sky, the orcs became the most shining tribe in the world. The glory of this civilization even overshadowed the dynasty of Lebanonce..."
"and then?"
"Then there was the war between the Ghouls and the Orcs. In fact, it wasn't just the Ghouls. There were many other races involved in that war. They included a branch of the Undead Army. The Orcs were outnumbered and remained invincible thanks to the Sky City."
Rafa paused for a moment, then said, "Until Lebanon found time during his campaigns to go there in person."
"It is impossible to know the exact development of that battle. But the ending was the fall of Sky City. Many pillar gods fell in the final battle of Sky City, including the King of the Corpse Eaters."
"The beast tribe suffered heavy casualties, but the Beast Pillar God did not perish. After the fall of Sky City, the beast tribe still stood tenaciously on the earth under its leadership. Even so, with this battle as a symbol, the beast tribe's brief glory quickly began to decline."
After Rafafar finished telling this story, he paused for a long time to give Anti time to digest it.
Anti also understood that the node that could connect Lebanon, the zombies and the orcs was undoubtedly the former sky city.
"Do you know the location of the battle for Sky City?"
Rafafar shook his head. “There are a lot of ambiguities in this period of history. The center of gravity of humanity at the time was elsewhere, so there aren’t many relevant records.”
So, did the battle of Sky City go directly to Zenith Mountain?
Although these are just speculations at the moment, the possibility is indeed very high. The beastmen were indeed very powerful at the time.
Anti sighed slightly.
"If it really is the Sky City, then the orcs are aiming for something big this time, so we have to act quickly." Rafafar said solemnly.
"Relax, there's no point in being anxious." Anti ate another candy, still cantaloupe flavored.
Rafafar sighed and said nothing more.
"Are there often traitors in your area?" Anti asked suddenly while they were on the road.
Rafafar was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "There are many people who betrayed because their minds changed due to beast transformation, but as far as I know, Kes is the only one who spontaneously chose to betray when he was not seriously affected by beast transformation in the past hundred years."
"Well, then you are really awesome." Anti suddenly praised.
Rafafar's tense face rarely showed a smile when he heard this, but he quickly suppressed it and said seriously: "All children born in the sacrificial tower must remember the teachings of their predecessors. This is our mission."
"As far as I know, the Five-clawed Executioners usually act in groups of two. Even if this operation is carried out with the help of the Sanctuary, given your relationship with the Sanctuary, it shouldn't be difficult to give you some convenience." Anti said.
The reason why it takes multiple executioners is very simple. Due to the dual effects of confusion and bestiality, the pressure that beast believers have to bear at this stage is much higher than that of ordinary believers.
It is easy to deepen the bestiality in fierce fighting, and after a certain degree of bestiality, it is irreversible. This is also the meaning of the existence of the Five-clawed Executioner, to kill compatriots who have become like this.
Likewise, the executioner will kill the executioner.
They are all consumable.
"I just killed my last partner, and Senior Maicon told me that Mr. Xuman and Mr. Anti are here with me. With you guys to back me up, I don't need to rely on other teammates to kill me when my beastly nature is out of control." Rafafar said calmly.
He lightly gave his life to someone he had only known for a short time.
Anti glanced at him, then turned back and asked, "Do you trust me so much?"
"At least you can control your animal nature. For this reason alone, those of us who are led by our animal nature should have the utmost trust in you. Your reason can also provide us with guidance." Rafafar's tone was not admiring, but still calm, but the weight was not insignificant at all.
"Well, this is not the first time I have done something like this. If necessary, I will do it." This is all Anti could say, his dark eyes looking at the white mountain scenery in front of him.
found it.
After going around one side of the ridge, Anti and Lafafar immediately saw the "black spot" on the hillside of a mountain in the distance.
Orcs and Ghouls.
When Anti and Lafafar noticed them, Angmo in the distance also pricked up his ears, his hair stood up, and he turned his head suddenly to look.
From a long distance, I looked into those cold, dark eyes.
"Sure enough, they are chasing us. Speed up and enter the Sky City before the humans catch up!" Angmo roared and gave the order.
Among the zombies, some who survived the previous chaos also used short sounds and small gestures to describe to their companions what the strange thing in the distance was.
That thing is more orcish than a ghoul!
Everyone has the same idea, run.
Rafafar was about to chase, but he saw that Anti didn't sprint, but instead shouted into the air.
Handilon flew over and hovered behind Anti. A pair of hand-like wings behind him wrapped around Anti. Then he shattered the space and constructed a space cannon with Anti as the core.
Rafafar: ?
"Roar--!"
With a roar, Handilon directly launched Anti out.
The palm of the hand was launched. Although Anti's body was covered with wounds by the broken space, he accurately controlled the trajectory of the space cannon, crossed the space several times in a row, and smashed towards the distant mountainside with a flash.
Bang!
