Chapter 544: The Battle Begins (Subscription Requested)
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Becoming a beast king is not that simple. The beast king is different from the kings of the human race. The position of beast king is shared by two races, and if the current beast king is not qualified, they would have been pushed off long ago."
Laura nodded and said, "I think the orc tribe's practice is quite good. The beast king they choose must be a capable person, which is a great help to the orc tribe."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "This is related to the character of the orcs. They need a strong leader, but this person must gain their recognition."
At this time, Meigen said, "Brother Hai, now the orcs have changed their main attack direction to the Iksa Family's territory. Does that mean the Versailles Family will have it easier?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and sighed, "Not necessarily. The orc tribe will first launch a feigned attack at Iron Wall Fortress. But don't think that the orc tribe's feigned attack is easy to handle. Once they succeed at the Iksa territory, the attack on Iron Wall Fortress will be even more ferocious. They want to push from two directions and crush the church of light's arrangement in one blow."
Meigen sighed and said, "So, does that mean the Versailles Principality will have a hard time avoiding disaster?"
Zhao Hai sighed; he had anticipated this situation long ago. He had thought of it when Ivan was unwilling to leave. No matter how the orcs arranged their strategies, the Versailles Family would not come out unscathed.
The location of the Versailles Family determined their fate. They were located right next to the Orc Prairie, which meant they faced attacks from the orcs on every front. This was not an easy job to handle.
Fortunately, over the years, the relationship between the orc tribe and the human race had been relatively peaceful, so the Versailles Family had developed quite well. This was also a result of their management; they increased food exports to the Orc Prairie, allowing the orcs to have enough food to eat, which naturally prevented the orcs from attacking them.
The Orc Prairie was vast, and the orcs could barely occupy their own land, let alone start a war with the human race. Besides, humans were not easy to deal with, and they were reluctant to stir up trouble.
Laura also sighed and turned to look at the screen, saying, "I wonder how many people will die in the Aksu Empire this time."
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "There’s nothing that can be done about it. You all should know that if it weren't for our appearance, many would die in the Aksu Empire, but the casualties among the orcs would be even greater. If things go wrong, the church of light might even annihilate their tribe. Those religious fanatics will do anything."
Laura sighed; she knew Zhao Hai wasn't speaking nonsense. The people from the church of light would certainly do that. They regarded everyone who did not worship the god of light as heretics, and the orc tribe was the biggest heretic of all. If they really wiped out the orc elites, those remaining orcs would not be spared either.
Lily looked at the screen and said, "Let's see what the church of light does in the coming days. But in my opinion, even if they fail this time, they won't be completely disheartened. After all, they only sent one cardinal of the church of light to the Aksu Empire this time, and most of their strength is still here; they haven't utilized their total power."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes. However, their failure this time will severely impact their reputation. Coupled with their loss of control over the Aksu Empire, it's easy to imagine that those countries that were close to them will start to guard against them. It will be difficult for them to regain their former glory."
Lily nodded and said, "That's even better. The church of light's influence is currently too great, which is not conducive to the stability of the continent."
Zhao Hai nodded, looked at the orc tribe’s movements on the screen, and saw they weren’t acting immediately but were preparing. There wasn't much to see, so he turned to Laura and the others and said, "Alright, there's nothing much going on, let's take a break. I think the orc tribe might take some action tonight, so let’s wait until then."
