Black Dragon Code

what is the problem?

Curse of the Orcs, said Caesar.

The curse of the orc?

Stannis pondered for a while, and said; This is the history of the Second Era, nearly two thousand years have passed, the water in it may be deeper and muddier than the Quel'dorei, you see the orcs are now Isn’t the Northern Empire doing well, why do you have to turn to history to deal with these old things? That’s not good for you.”

I just want to take care of it.

The black dragon looked down at the city below the royal court, its body was very close, but its voice was far away, and its tone was unquestionable.

Caesar is not interested in many things, but some things cannot be forgotten. The curse of the orc has always been in his mind, like a shadow lingering in his mind. He was not qualified or able to ask these things before, but now The little black cub grew up and became one of the largest and tallest mountains in Elradia, and he is now in charge.

Okay, up to you.

Stannis succumbed, relaxed by the stagnant atmosphere brought by the black dragon. He closed his eyes, and Caesar saw a divine reaction appearing around him. After a short wait, a void substance rushed into the golden dragon's head at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, Stannis opened his eyes again. After a brief trance, he nodded and said, His Majesty Bahamut has granted your request.

Tell me, including the history of the fall of the orc empire.

If you want to hear this story, you have to be patient, because the story is very long, and now I have to seal this space to prevent the sound from entering the ears of other gods, don't you mind?

Are you sure you know all this?

Just now, His Majesty Bahamut gave me a part of memory. Those things are like what I experienced personally. All the details flowed in front of my eyes. Of course, it is no problem for me to tell them. These things are enough for you to understand that. A piece of history, even the curse of the orcs.

I listen carefully, said Caesar.

To understand the ancient orcs of Elradia, we must first start talking about their god—Gruumsh. Stannis spoke slowly.

Gruumsh is the violent, ferocious, heroic orc god. People now generally believe that he has only one eye, but this was not the case thousands of years ago. At that time, the god had both eyes intact, but in a fierce battle One eye was shot by Corellon, the lord of elves. So until now, orcs and elves have been extremely jealous enemies.

Stannis glanced at the black dragon,

He interjected, It seems unbelievable to outsiders that the orcs under your command can coexist peacefully with the small group of elves in the west.

Go on. Caesar did not explain, waiting for the next step.

In the next few battles, Gruumsh finally regained his eyeballs, but Corellon's divine power prevented him from healing, so this god decided to give the eyeballs as a gift to his favorite in the endless realm. The people of Elradia—orcs.

The Eye of Gruumsh is an extremely rare creation of the true god, and its power is unstoppable. After that, the Eladia orcs grew rapidly, and even established an empire that was unstoppable at that time: the Skalon orcs dynasty.

At that time, all races needed to bow down to the ancient orcs, but in ancient times, due to the limitations of the development of the times at that time, there were theoretical boundaries in communication and transportation, and the dominance of the Skalon Northern Dynasty could not radiate to farther regions. During the 700-year-long rule of the Scaron dynasty, the self-awareness of humans in Elradia began to awaken. These hardworking humans formed many settlements in the south where they were suitable for reproduction, and then gradually evolved into developed city-states. Become a unified regime: no empire.

At that time, our fathers had a hard time driving the Titans out of Elradia, and it took a long time to cultivate their voices. No dragon could have predicted that in the short period of their dormancy, these humanoid races were incomprehensible as long-lived species. Prosper rapidly at a rapid speed, and when they wake up, they can only watch the Scaron Beastman Dynasty and the Human Unfallen Empire firmly occupy this vast land.

The orcs and humans became the protagonists of the Second Era. At the end of the Second Era, the Skalon Dynasty fought a full-scale war with the Bufall Empire in order to find a better habitat.

I know the war, and the orcs were defeated in the end, Caesar said.

Yes, but the process is not that simple. At the beginning of the war, the Skalon dynasty was in full swing, and even pushed the army across the inland sea to the Mikanthus Plain, and hit the main city of the Buluo Empire. At that time, Skalon Whether it is population, army or the number of spellcasters, the dynasty is much stronger than the Buluo Empire.

But they still lost in the end. The black dragon shook his head.

Two large-scale battles turned the tide: the bloody setting sun of the Eternal City, and the havoc of the setting sun on the plains of Micanthus.

During the Battle of the Scarlet Setting Sun, the Unfallen Empire has been driven to a desperate situation, and they have to do their best to fight to the death. They must stick to the Eternal City. In terms of gods, led by the sun god Pelor, the god of war Quirkza Virtue, the goddess of the earth, Chauntia, and the gods of justice, such as protection, joy, and dawn, all projected into the lower world.

Stannis paused. The golden dragon's qualities of being good teachers are well known in the world, and he couldn't help but digress: You must be wondering why this great god, Pelor, has a clear stand this time and chooses to stand on the side of human beings. One side. Because the rumors are true, every emperor of the Unfallen Empire is a descendant of the gods, and the blood of the sun god flows in the Lamorahan family.

So the orcs failed because of the gods? Caesar asked.

Of course not. At that time, many gods were watching the battlefield of Elradia. Headed by the orc god Gruumsh, the spider queen Rose, the night goddess Shar, and the seven evil gods of wrath, massacre, doom, and revenge all joined the orc camp. Gods compete with gods in the sky, orcs and humans fight on the ground. If the Battle of the Scarlet Setting Sun is put into the star realm, it is not impossible to evolve into Ragnarok.

Stannis sighed, The defeat of the Skaron dynasty at the Battle of the Scarlet Sun stems from a chieftain in the Horde.

Isaacs Bonebreaker.

Caesar continued his words: Isaacs was driven mad by the thirst for power, and he was desperate to claim the Eye of Gruumsh for himself, to steal the power of the god into his beloved short In the axe, he succeeded, and the tomahawk was infused with great power to be sublimated, but the important tactics of the Orc Empire failed because of this. In the end, the Eye of Gruumsh fell into silence, and the Bonebreaker clan was also wiped out as traitors.

Stannis' eyes lit up: You actually know that history?

The legendary weapon Isaacs Bloodthirsty. I got it.

Caesar said calmly that the battle ax is still in Hogg's hands, and has even become a symbol of power in the Black Wing Empire. I also know something about the Battle of Mikanthius. You can continue to talk about it first.

The loss of the Eye of Gruumsh means the failure of the Battle of the Scarlet Setting Sun. The last emperor of the orc dynasty, Kenret Skaron, had to give up his offensive plan and temporarily retreat. At this time, the initiative has been transferred to the hands of humans. Knowing this According to the news, the Unfalling Empire did not stop the war, but chose to pursue the victory.

After a year of small-scale battles, the two sides unanimously chose to wage a final decisive battle with all their troops on the open Mikansius Plain.
