"The ratio of scientists is also so high." Liu Zhen thought to himself.
"The sacred altars chanting incantation war song can give beastmen warriors courage, make their skin as hard as stone, increase their strength, and most importantly, our incantation war song has a Berserk War Song that allows the best beastmen warriors to enter a state of frenzy, even when facing terrible magic, they will have some resistance."
"It looks like hypnosis." Liu Zhen thought of his previous anti-hypnotic training.
"So, human mages have always been the arch-nemesis of the Holy Altars sacrifices. The Holy Altars sacrifices do not have the ability to directly participate in attacks like mages do. We are merely servants of the war god, our purpose is to proclaim the glory of the war god. We are merely the shield in the left hand of the war god, not the sword in his right hand." Little Foxs eyes reddened.
"Is a magician really so formidable without any weaknesses?" Liu Zhen was somewhat incredulous.
"Of course, there are also disadvantages. When they cast magic, they cannot be interrupted, otherwise it will cause the magic to backlash and may even cost their lives. Moreover, after each casting, they must meditate, as magic is not inexhaustible, especially large-scale magic such as summoning meteorites from outside the sky, which can have a certain impact on the magicians lifespan."
"I told you, nothing comes without a price!" Liu Zhen said with a chuckle.
"But humans are the most clever, they created complex magic scrolls that can instantly release magic without long chanting, and they also found many magical amplifiers such as natural gems and crystal cores of magical beasts, which can continuously replenish their magic. Moreover, simple magic like summoning fire walls and ice spears, this kind of magic is extremely damaging to us but not very consuming for them, in comparison, our brave beastman warriors are at a disadvantage."
"What about their individual combat capabilities?" Liu Zhen asked.
"Humans who are magicians all have weak bodies. If they exhaust their magic, they cant even beat a little kid," said the small fox.
"Why didnt you assassinate them at that time?" Liu Zhen felt that this was his strong point, ambushing, sneaking, infiltrating, all the things he had learned before.
The little fox smiled wryly and said, "Mages all have their own partners. The strong from across the continent are willing to find a powerful mage as their companion. These mages companions are often the most outstanding warriors. Moreover, during wartime, mages are strictly protected targets. Even if beastman warriors can get close to them, they may not be able to defeat the companions protecting them. Humans possess exceptional wisdom, allowing them to excel in any aspect. Perhaps ordinary beastman warriors can easily defeat three human soldiers, but humanitys most outstanding warriors can easily defeat our best fighters."
"Assassination was never an easy thing to begin with." Liu Zhen also agreed with this view.
"In the Battle of Hygar a thousand years ago, our beastman kingdom suffered a crushing defeat, precisely because human mages possessed an overwhelming advantage in governance. Not only did we cede the Aegean continent, where we had thrived for countless years, but we were nearly exterminated by the human legions."
At the critical moment, it was the Shamanic priest of the Fox tribe who covered the retreat of the remaining Beastmen bloodline to the endless Danube steppes. Countless proud and brave Fox tribe priests voluntarily stood up, using their own lives as a price, and summoned the only magic they could call upon - Stellar Cloud Chain Lightning, blocking the human coalitions road to continued slaughter.
"This is probably why you were later enfeoffed as nobles?" Liu Zhen asked.
"Yes." The little fox nodded: "Originally, the Fox tribe was just a vassal of the Wolf tribe. As a grassroots class, most ordinary tribes would attach themselves to stronger tribes, but its not ruled out that some tribes are introverted and like to live in seclusion. Commoner tribes can only rely on opportunities to make military achievements to leave their vassal position and become upper nobility. In view of the great contributions made by the commoner Fox tribe, the king of the Beastman Kingdom, who was driven away by humans to the vast wilderness known as the "Barbaric Ancient Steppes" of Donau, specially conferred hereditary noble status on the Fox tribe."
"Do you also have a noble title now?" Liu Zhen asked, shaking the fruit that was yawning in his arms.
"Im a baron of the northeastern province of the Kingdom of Baimon, I have a fiefdom." The little fox said with a smile.
"Haha... just wait and see when youll be changing your surname to Liu!" Liu Da Guan Ren sneered, quickly calculating in his mind.
"Actually, even if Im not a noble, as long as I can become a Holy Altar Priest, the temple will grant me a title and fiefdom, which is much better than being a Holy Altar Priest in Mongolia." The little fox said proudly.
"Knowledge is power!" Liu Zhenhong muttered to himself: "I dont know who said that."
"Ah!" Liu Zhens eyes lit up as he slapped his own forehead, "Dont I also have a magical beast as a pet? Doesnt that qualify me to perform the sacred ritual of worship? If I were to return with you now, wouldnt your temple also grant me a noble title?"
"No way!" Helen smiled and shook her head: "Guo Guo didnt make a soul contract with you, let alone command it to help you fight, not to mention its combat ability is really too small."
"Who said that?" Liu was startled and shook awake the sleeping Guo Guo, pointing at the thorny bush in front of him and saying to Guo Guo: "Little guy, send a cluster of frost over there."
Guo Guo opened her drowsy eyes, yawned and sprayed a mouthful of frosty air, "peng" sound shot into the thorny bush, white frost powder splashed everywhere, and the emerald green thorny bush quickly turned into a transparent ice crystal.
"How was it?" Liu Zhen was pleased.
"That doesnt mean you can become a Holy Altar Priest!" Helen shook her head: "The main thing about being a Holy Altar Priest is to chant battle hymns, sprinkle the glory of the War God Kampas, and give blessings to all Bimons. Having a magical pet and becoming a priest have nothing to do with each other."
"I can sing!" Liu Zhenhong chuckled and said: "I wont learn anything, but singing is the only thing I learn quickly! Its not bragging, no matter what song, I listen to it once, at least I can sing four or five tenths of it."
Helen was clearly pouting.
"Dont believe me?" Liu Zhen said: "Then Ill learn that song you just sang and try it out, how about that?"
Helen still looked disbelieving.
"Listen up!" Liu Zhen shook his throat clear and opened his big mouth to sing.
Two mountains indeed felt a lump in their throat for his departure, Liu Zhenshengs singing was indeed similar to that of others, and the little fox, upon hearing his voice, even mimicked some of the initial tremolos very well.
But Helens face grew more and more somber as she listened.
Liu Zhen actually found it strange himself, he didnt know how to sing any war songs, saying that he had a belly full of yellow tunes was about right. Originally it was just for fun, wanting to tease the little fox into happiness, who knew that after learning the opening, it couldnt be stopped, and even the brakes couldnt stop it, as if suddenly a clear mind emerged in his brain, the continuous lyrics and melody poured out like the Yangtze River bursting through a dam.
Liu Zhenhuan finished singing the last note and covered his own mouth, feeling a little unbelievable.
Helen was also staring at him, her bright blue eyes wide with dilated pupils.
"Didnt I say Im a great imitator?" Liu said with a thick face and blowing his own trumpet.
"Youre a born soul singer!" Helen exclaimed excitedly as she hugged him.
"What?" Liu Zhen was stunned, "What singer?"
"The altar sacrifice also has a hierarchy, the lowest level of sacrifice is the wind language sacrifice, which can use soothing soul secret songs and resonate with people who hear the song, comfort the departed souls, comfort the wounded heart, and restrain the wild thoughts."
"Ah, its about the same as a funeral band." Liu Zhen shook his head and thought that it was similar to the mournful music played by the band when someone died back in his hometown.
"Only on the basis of Wind Language Festival, can be promoted to Soul Singer, Soul Singers possession of Tongling Battle Song, can make those who hear the song able to communicate with their own language. At this time, the Holy Altar Festival is considered to have the ability to summon beast pets, because only by becoming a Soul Singer, you can make magic beasts understand you, understand you, and become your partner." The little fox exclaimed: "My current identity is indeed a Soul Singer, what I sang to you is Tongling Battle Song that can communicate languages! I didnt expect you to be able to sing it out after just one listen! Its unbelievable!"
"Whats the big deal?" Liu Zhen felt it was quite simple, wasnt it just learning to sing a song? He had a belly full of obscene ditties, all of which he could learn by listening to them once.
"Whats the probability of a Saintess appearing, do you know?!" Helens excited nose was sweating, "The probability of a magician appearing among humans is about the same as us! Can you imagine the probability of a Saintess appearing now?"
"I dont know..." Liu Zhen felt it was nothing.
"Every born soul singer, in the long history of Bimon, only a handful have been recorded, just like human magicians who can use forbidden spells, all of whom are heroes who left a brilliant mark in history!" Helen hugged Liu Zhen and said, "Lichat, you will definitely become the greatest priest among our beastmen in the future!"
"Impossible?" Liu Zhen was not expecting to become a heroic figure, his impression of heroes were all like Huang Jiguang, glorious sacrifice was one thing, but using his own body to block machine gun fire, he couldnt do that.
"The next promotion goal for Soul Singer is War Priest, reaching the level of War Priest, you can use Frenzied Battle Song, and start to comprehend Life Magic. Further up, you can reach the level of Authority Priest, and further up is the highest priest in the Temple of God, Wei An Da Shaman." Helens excited expression made Liu stunned for a moment, good laugh.
"Ill just sing a song and become the highest priest?" Lius head shook like a wave drum; "I dont believe it."
"You cant help but believe me!" Helen pouted her cherry lips, and two pretty dimples appeared on her face.
"Whats the point of becoming the greatest shaman? Were still just living on this small island, catching birds and fish to pass the days?" Liu Zhen said with a bitter smile.
Helens eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Its okay, its okay!" Liu Zhen was moved by Helens miserable expression and felt a pang of sadness himself; "Cant you just take the boat back? We can take another boat back to your hometown later, right?"
"Its impossible." Helen thought of the practical issues and a hint of worry also appeared on her youthful and pretty face.
"Dear Richard, do you know how I came to this island?" Helen asked Liu Zhen.
"Your boat encountered a strong wind and ran aground when it was approaching the shore!" Liu Zhen said thoughtfully.
"Thats not my ship! Didnt I just tell you? I was robbed by a gang of shameless human thieves."
Time flies, and since the Battle of Hygar, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The orcs, after a thousand years of recuperation, gradually regained their vitality, and on the vast Donau steppes, the giant totem pillars of the Orc Empire were erected once again. Meanwhile, humans had split into dozens of large and small countries, firmly occupying the Aegean continent. Although most human nations held deep prejudices against the orcs, and small-scale border conflicts frequently occurred between humans and orcs, no one was willing to take the lead in provoking a large-scale war with the Orc Kingdom again.
The Taimuraya Snowy Mountains, which have stood since ancient times on the Donau continent, are like a continuous giant dividing line, blocking off half of the northeastern part of the Donau wilderness, and also blocking the Beastman Empire from the prying eyes of the human world.
The only one bordering the Kingdom of Bimon is the Duchy of Dolotte, which is known as the "Mercenary State" and belongs to the Kingdom of Yieste. The Kingdom of Bimon and it stand facing each other across the vast Donau Desert, a month-long journey through the wilderness that serves as a massive buffer between them.
Although the hatred between the Beastmen and humans has faded a lot after thousands of years, trade merchants have begun to come from human countries to the Beastman Kingdom, exchanging weapons, cloth, books, and daily necessities for the Beastmens fur, slaves, and precious magical crystal nuclei. However, the estrangement between the two races has not been completely eliminated, and so far, no human country has formally signed a trade agreement with the Beastmen.
Baimon and humans are in a very delicate situation, secretly eyeing each other as opponents.
The Kingdom of Bimon still has a great demand for human daily necessities and iron cloth, and the folk trade spontaneously formed by human merchants is also extremely coveted by the Kingdom of Bimon. As the Fox tribe, the aristocratic family that made great contributions to the Kingdom of Bimon during the Thousand Years War, they were also ordered by the King of Bimon to guard the northeastern border.
As the King of Bimon, letting the Fox tribe guard the northeast border also has a very deep political intention. Only the clever Fox people can get along with the despicable and cunning human merchants to obtain the greatest economic benefits.
"My hometown and people are located in the beautiful kingdoms northeastern province."
The little fox chattered on and on.
"How did the human bandits penetrate your defenses and kidnap you and those girls onto their ship?" Liu Zhen was puzzled, "Are the guards on your border blind?"
"Dear Richard, Im going to tell you a terrible truth." The little fox bit her lip and said sorrowfully: "The fiery red fur and tail of the Fox tribes fox people are considered top-grade fur and scarves in human eyes----------because the fur of the Beastmen is more gorgeous than that of wild beasts. In the human nobility, coats and boots made from the fur of Beastmen are forever a symbol of flaunting wealth and power in high society."
"Thats outrageous!" Liu was shocked, his eyes wide with bloodshot, he couldnt tolerate the despicable act of making intelligent beings into decorations.
"This is fascism!" Liu Zhenhong growled in a low voice.
"Its not just that!" The little foxs eyes rolled down with tears like pearls, "The Foxes maiden is not only the most beautiful woman in the kingdom of Mong, but also the most beautiful woman on the continent. Every fox tribe girl who has held a coming-of-age ceremony (15 years old), they will naturally produce a fragrance under their arms, this enchanting fragrance can make anyone who smells it unforgettable for life. The most boring human troubadour is used to calling this scent "fox fragrance". Whats terrible is not just that, the fox tribe girls appearance not only has beauty but also has a natural charm, just by rolling her eyes, she can take away half of a mans soul; Shameless humans even say: The flower crown of the Foxes maiden can also eliminate some bad conditions."
"Whats a bad state?" Liu Zhen looked at the little fox with a puzzled expression, wanting to laugh but feeling a bit too serious.
"Abnormal state......" Helen pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe its some kind of peculiar disease or something that can make an elderly person regain the vitality of a young person."
"Oh, I see! Such things happen in my hometown too. We call that kind of thing rushing into good fortune." Liu Zhen finally understood.
I dont know if it can cure impotence. Liu Zhen was lost in thought, holding his chin.
So in the human kingdom, women who are good at jealousy often call fox tribe girls "fox spirits".
Its only natural that among humans, there are also beauties, and the best of them may not be inferior to the fox tribe girls in terms of beauty. However, human beauties will never have the natural fox fragrance and charm, nor can they all possess this enviable beauty like the fox tribe girls do. Moreover, its impossible for a maidens flower crown to serve such a purpose. Therefore, we can also show complete understanding towards the jealousy of human women here.
Its like this, a fox tribe beauty in the human worlds black market has been hyped to an astonishing price. Many high-ranking nobles of humanity are said to love attending **** salons that feature fox tribe girls as the main attraction.
"A single man is innocent, but a crowd hides his guilt!" Liu Zhen was shaken and showed off his talent, saying the only idiom he knew.
"What you said has a philosophical flavor." Helen smiled wryly: "For thousands of years, the mainland has been circulating a story about a fox tribe girl. It is said that many years ago, two fox tribe girls were sold by slave traders to the distant Eastern Continent and were given to the kings of the two most powerful countries in the East. The slave trader only exchanged these two girls for stunning porcelain and silk fabrics as valuable as gold, spices..."
"...The two fox tribe girls, with their stunning beauty, easily captured the hearts of the two Eastern monarchs. One of them, a once wise and powerful ruler, in order to win the smile of the fox tribe girl in his arms, did not hesitate to light the beacon fire multiple times, causing countless loyal nobles to bring troops to rescue him, only to find out they had been deceived when they arrived at their destination. Later, when the barbarian tribes truly invaded the capital of this country, when this monarch lit the beacon fire again, no nobles came to his rescue anymore---------because everyone was unwilling to be deceived again, and it was precisely because of this incident that the ruler of this powerful nation lost his life."
"Is there another vixen?" Liu Zhen asked.
"There was also a fox tribe girl who was even more outrageous, charming the king to the point where he couldnt attend court and handle state affairs. The traveling bards of the Eastern Continent even turned this into a poem that spread far and wide, with the general meaning being The watchmans drum beats again and again... why do you always urge him on, great king? Why doesnt he come to early court tomorrow?"
This poem is not well written, Liu Zhen thought.
Later, the fox tribe girl suffered from heartache, and the king even sacrificed his own uncle, a loyal princes liver, cooked into a soup, to offer to the gods of creation, begging for the beautys illness to be cured; this foolish act actually gained the sympathy of the creator god, and the fox tribe girl was indeed cured.
This arrogant king also used fine wine to create a lake, made delicious meat into a forest, and spent his days indulging in pleasure with the fox spirit, never asking about state affairs. In the end, he was finally overthrown by angry officials.
The beauty and charm of the Fox Tribe girl can be seen from this.
The Duchy of Dolotte - This mercenary nation, a neighbor to the Fox Tribe of the Kingdom of Vilmont, has swarms of mercenaries invading the kingdom every year through the ancient wilderness roads. Their goal is to kidnap a beautiful fox girl and use her as leverage for their own luxurious life. Similarly, countless black market merchants offer irresistible prices to the native thieves and robbers of the Dolna Wilderness, as well as the numerous ghouls, lowlifes, and half-beasts that infest the land like flies and rats, engaging in a slave trade that infuriates all Vilmontians. The little foxs face was on the verge of tears, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Is that how you were caught by those slave traders and taken onto the ship to be transported to the human realm?" Liu was shocked, looking back on it, those few fox tribe girls who had been locked in wooden boxes at the time indeed looked quite stunning, his virgin heart suddenly stirred up, "Then did they... do anything to you......"
"No." Helens long eyelashes drooped, "The ones who abducted me and several sisters from my tribe were desert human bandits. They were originally the arch-enemies of the kingdoms northwest border, and had been at war with us all along. The cunning desert human bandits purchased ships from a country in the northeast that trades with us, not only removing their headscarves as symbols of their identity but also disguising themselves as merchants from other countries that trade with us. They entered the heartland of the kingdom with premeditation, launching a surprise attack on our tribe. Since we are located inland, no one expected an attack, and the defensive forces in the tribe were scarce, allowing these shameless bandits to succeed easily. The desert human bandits place great importance on womens chastity, possibly because they wanted to present us to their king, so they did not violate my body or that of my sisters."
"Are you saying theres no navy at all?" Liu Zhen was puzzled. "Dont they patrol the seas?"
"Richard!" Helen raised her head: "We are no match for the Mongols in building large warships, and there is no carpenter among us who can compare with human craftsmen."
"That coastline should also be heavily guarded!" Liu Zhen had a keen sense of judgment unique to military personnel.
"No need to heavily guard, we only set up a few sentry posts along the coastline," Helen said: "Because in the vast ocean, the powerful Xiyase people do not allow any warships carrying troops to pass through their airspace, except for the merchant ships of several powerful human nations that have signed trade agreements with them, all others will be sunk."
"Sea Clan?" Lius eyes widened even further.
He thought of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.
There is also the turtle prime minister.
