Praytel, what is the temple's purpose? The circumstances compelled the Orc king to swallow his pride.
To become a vassel of the angelic race, Williams stated indifferently.
Hearing these words, the orc king erupted in fury, scarcely able to believe his ears.
My kind shall never be enslaved.
You are living in a fantasy.
William was not surprised by the orc king's response.
He had anticipated such a reaction after centuries.
It seemed the royal lineage of the Orc Empire was due for a change.
Pathetic creature, your subjugation is a mark of our esteem.
Do not think that even if the dignitaries of the angelic race do not come personally, we alone could obliterate you and your bone crunch city," Charles interjected, unable to contain his indignation.
An overwhelming aura surged forth, rivaling the earlier display of power from William.
All five temple knights present were of royal caliber, each one surpassing the Orc king in strength.
The once defiant Orc king finally grasped the disparity in power between the two sides.
A wave of helplessness washing over him.
Five royal knights were more than a match for his entire bone tribe.
Even if I were to agree, the other tribes may not.
The orc king's voice trailed off, his resolve weakening.
He was reluctant to lose his royal status.
Fully aware that even if his tribe opposed, others would likely acquies.
Not to worry, your majesty.
Simply summon the leaders of the other tribes to the royal city, and we shall handle the rest.
Surely you possess this minimal authority, William replied with smile, his tone casual.
Very well, the orc king reluctantly acquiesced.
Then I shall preemptively wish you a fruitful collaboration between the orc empire and the temple, William said, bowing slightly before turning to depart the ruined palace alongside his knights.
The terrified orcs instinctively parted to create a path for the five.
And upon their departure, the orc king finally exhaled in relief, collapsing into his chair, a look of bewilderment upon his face, sweat beaded on his brow, and after a moment, he weakly uttered, "Summon the leaders of all tribes to the royal city for a council and informed them that the high priest has called for an urgent meeting.
" Meanwhile, far away in their castle within the emerald hills, the brother and sister were unaware of the unfolding events.
My lord, two orc tribes have been discovered, one to the south and the other to the north.
A wraith lord has returned to the castle to report to Sars.
Excellent.
We shall divide our forces and simultaneously conquer these two orc tribes.
Soon the four kings summoned all the undead once more and under the leadership of the wraith lord.
They set forth in two separate paths towards the tribes.
Sars and Jack led a party comprising more than half of the royal ranks.
While Lenny and Jon, accompanied by a level six lich, ensured the utmost safety in their endeavor.
Chapter 300.
The discovery of the orc tribe within the city of the undead.
The four unfortunate souls encountered the raven, a level two royal beast, which was effortlessly dispatched by Bayou, earning her two points.
At this moment, the siblings and Xiao Yinua were leisurely enjoying breakfast while Bayou, as usual, chose to forego food.
After summoning her troops, she gazed at the armored figure of the wraith loading the undead.
Suddenly, a flicker of orange red light caught her attention, prompting her to look towards the portal's direction.
Who could it be? Bayou beheld Lee Lingi, elegantly emerging from within in a flowing black gown, accompanied by two fallen angels and a throng of night elves, a smile graced by lips.
It appeared that servants had been sent for her.
Yet, she was also curious.
Was this visit truly necessary? As Lee Lingsy set foot in the city of the undead, she exhibited no surprise, only a profound curiosity towards the immense city.
To her, Bayou<unk>s ascension was a matter of course.
Bayou, I have essentially taken control of the forest elf kingdom.
These are the night elves captured during that time.
Knowing your fondness for them, I have brought them for you, Lee.
Lings said with a smile, stepping forward, Bayou extended her hand in welcome, leading Lee Lings into the palace.
How thoughtful of you.
Such trifles do not warrant your personal attention.
By you remarked, "Not at all.
It was but a small effort.
" Leilingi Raia upon entering the palace.
The two sat across from each other.
Although their development had largely fallen into a regular rhythm, allowing the lord some leisure time.
The visit was certainly for a reason.
They chatted amiably like close friends.
They were just a step away from completely dominating the forest elf kingdom.
Yet it appeared that some issues had arisen among the elves.
The kings of the light elves, storm elves, and night elves had convened all the elves, seemingly to discuss a significant matter.
However, the forest elf kingdom's lowly status rendered them unable to glean any information.
If action were taken now, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the other elves.
Leelings sighed as she vented her frustrations to Bayou, expressing how the sudden upheaval among the elves hindered her next steps.
Moreover, her town had reached level 9.
Yet, the scarcity of building materials within the forest elf kingdom prevented her from upgrading her city.
Have these elves not always been at odds? Their sudden gathering does indeed signal something a miss by you pondered perplexed.
The elves were even stronger than the orcs, which was why Ley had to tread carefully.
Could it be that they seek unification? After much contemplation, by you could only arrive at this singular possibility, such a likelihood is slim.
They have ruled separately for over a millennium and are unlikely to change that easily.
Lee Lingsy shook her head, dismissing Bayou<unk>s notion, then spoke earnestly once more.
I cannot allow this to delay my progress.
So, Bayou, I may require your assistance in the future.
Not a problem.
Consider it a small favor.
Bayou readily agreed, mindful of the debt she owed to Leelings.
There is another piece of news.
I have gleaned information regarding the temple from within the realm of the forest elves.
They seem to have been particularly active of late, so do remain vigilant.
The influence of the temple is vast, spanning across the seven continents, and is not something that the elves or orcs can easily contend with.
Leanging kindly cautioned Bayou that if their stronghold were to be discovered by the temple, it would indeed spell trouble.
Very well, I shall be more attentive.
Bayou responded.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Leel Lingi took her leave.
Bayou watched as she entered the portal and vanished from sight.
At that moment, Chun and the others approached.
Boss, she's quite beautiful, Chan Fong remarked, somewhat incredulous that Shinu would mention this.
Indeed, she has come seeking my assistance.
She has encountered a bit of trouble on her end by you disclosed without reservation.
The scarcity of surrounding forces poses significant disadvantages, and any upheaval among the elves would directly impact her own development.
As for advancing towards the sea tribe, Bayou shook her head.
Before departing, Leelings had requested Bayou to assist her in locating a lord in Marshall province, regardless of their strength or troop types.
Bayou naturally understood her ulterior motive to bring that lord under her sway and subsequently utilize the portal to extend her influence into Marshall province.
The limitations on her own side were rather considerable, compelling her to seek alternative means for growth.
She might have conveyed similar sentiments to Du Yang as well.
After all, Bayou's ability to expand across the continents is owed entirely to Xiao Yiani's voluntary submission.
Otherwise, she would be in the same predicament as the others, constrained to develop within Marshall province, which would indeed slow her progress significantly.
Bayou was not averse to assisting her.
She had briefly outlined her own circumstances to Lee Lingi.
