Chapter 350 The Tradition of the Wolf Race
The night was getting darker, and after dealing with a few work reports, after a long time of exhaustion, Luo Ji, who finally fell asleep, still didn't sleep soundly. Any slight movement would cause him to wake up instantly!
"Hu-hu--" The heavy breathing sounded a little hurried. He had a nightmare just now, dreaming that the Iron Wall was smashed by the army of orcs.
Thinking about it every day and dreaming at night, it only shows that he is really worried about the situation in Tiebicheng. He rubbed his temples hard to calm himself down. However, at this moment, his bedroom There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and it didn't take long for a knock on the door...
"Dong dong dong."
"What's the matter?" Luo Ji asked as he quickly put a coat on himself.
"Your Majesty, the urgent report sent from the front line overnight!"
Hearing this, Luo Ji's whole heart throbbed, and then quickly said, "Bring it in!"
While speaking, Luo Ji quickly lit the oil lamp in the room, and then asked aloud, "What time is it now?"
In response to this, the guards outside the door quickly checked the missing engravings placed outside, and then replied, "Report to Your Majesty, six o'clock in the morning."
Luo Ji glanced out of the window, the dim sky didn't look like it was six o'clock, and the bad weather made his mood invisibly heavier.
His eyes quickly focused on the emergency report in his hand, and then Luo Ji's face changed suddenly. The army of orcs attacked Tiebi City at night. More than half of the defenders of Tiebi City suffered casualties. Zhao Pan was now bringing the remaining troops and Tiebi with him. The people of the city retreated to Shangyuan City, while Liu Zheng stayed in the city after the break...
"Liu Zheng, stay behind..." Seeing this, Luo Ji's whole heart sank to the bottom in an instant, he took a deep breath, and after forcibly calmed down his emotions, he only heard him speak in a deep voice, "Go on the order, get ready to go!"
----Dividing line----
At the same time, Iron Wall City...
The gloomy sky suddenly rained heavily, constantly washing away the blood at the gate of the city. Li Ke looked at the human who was pierced by dozens of spears, but still stood there.
At this moment, Li Yuanjie's irritable roar sounded from behind, "Give me his corpse into ten thousand pieces!!"
At this time, Li Yuanjie was obviously going to be mad. In this battle, the casualties of his orc army were beyond his expectations. If he didn't smash the human body into thousands of pieces, it would be hard to dispel the hatred in his heart!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Ke, who was standing in front, raised his hand and stopped the few werewolf warriors who were about to carry out his order...
"Li Ke?!" Li Yuanjie, who was in a bad mood, showed a clear displeasure in his tone.
"He's dead, Chief." Li Ke replied calmly.
"So what?!" Li Yuanjie, who was about to lose his head, asked without hesitation.
"Doing this is against the tradition of the wolf clan!" While speaking, Li Ke glanced at the other members of the same clan.
Aware of Li Ke's sight, the faces of the few werewolf warriors who were preparing to fight flashed an obvious unnatural expression on their faces, but on the contrary, there were also many werewolf warriors in the team who showed approval. .
The wolf clan has the tradition and pride of the wolf clan. It admits that the appearance of the great chief has made the life of the entire wolf clan better. At the same time, it also knows that in the past, the great chief has given way to it. , so relatively, for the sake of a whole wolf clan, in other matters, it will also make corresponding concessions, although the decisions and practices of the Great Chief may not be in line with its creed...
But every time it backs down, it sinks into deep contemplation and asks itself, is it worth it? Li Ke can feel that the wolf clan is changing. Among the new generation of wolf clan, many werewolves have been influenced by the thoughts of the great chief and have abandoned their wolf clan traditions. those few.
The wolf clan hunted down their prey in order to be full, and killed the enemy with a group attack on the battlefield. It was because of their different positions and situations. There is nothing to say about this, but at this moment, that human is already dead...
In order to buy time for his companions to retreat, that human being knew that he would die, but he still did not hesitate to stay and die, regardless of his race or position. Based on this righteousness alone, in Li Ke's eyes, Liu Zheng could already be called a man. venerable enemy.
However, after such a venerable enemy, after his death, their chiefs will humiliate his corpse and smash it into tens of thousands of pieces. As a wolf clan's self-respect and pride, how can he tolerate such a thing in front of him? occur? !
"What if I had to tear him into tens of thousands of pieces?!" Li Yuanjie regretted it as soon as he said these words, although in the eyes of a modern person, the traditions and glory of the wolf clan are bullshit! But it is undeniable that among the wolf clan, there are still many werewolves who follow this tradition, and the leader among them is Li Ke, the first wolf clan general under his command.
There are actually many reasons for Li Yuanjie's concessions to Li Ke. On the one hand, in addition to being obsessed with the tradition of the wolf clan, Li Ke has indeed been born and died for it after so many years. Love, there is really no need to fall out with it for this trivial matter; on the other hand, the reason is that among the new generation of wolves, there has never been a werewolf that can rival Li Ke in strength.
Although it still has elephants, tauren, kobolds, foxmen and other orc races to surrender to it, but it has mutated into a werewolf after all. Under the circumstance that it can't fight very much, if there is no one in its own family. A fierce general who can calm down the scene, how can other orc races obey it?
In this way, under the intertwining of various reasons, the internal problems of the wolf clan are probably more complicated than those of other orc races.
There was a stalemate for a while. During this whole process, Li Ke did not say a word, but he looked at it without retreating. Li Yuanjie, who felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, felt his heart twitch slightly. Walking around the city, he said in a grumpy tone as he walked, "Go clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils for me!"
At this moment, the wolf clan troops that were originally gathered in one place were clearly divided into two parts, one part followed Li Yuanjie directly, while the other part, like Li Ke, stood in place.
Seeing Li Yuanjie who had made concessions in disguise, the werewolf warriors standing in the same place breathed a sigh of relief. Although they supported Li Ke from their standpoint, Li Yuanjie was after all the patriarch of their wolf clan and an entire orc clan. No one can deny Li Yuanjie's contribution to the entire wolf clan. They really don't want to see Li Ke and Li Yuanjie fall out.
"General, what to do with these human corpses, have you dug a pit and buried it?" one of the werewolf warriors asked Li Ke.
Hearing this, Li Ke shook his head, "Although they are human beings, they are worthy of respect and deserve a decent funeral, but the Great Chief will not allow me to do so. I will find a place to save it first, and I will find a chance later. Send these corpses out of the human city."
