Chapter 672: Diary of the God of War
Create your own building.
Qi Ge held 26 blank design drawings, and couldn't help but recall the scenes he saw when building miracle buildings and myth buildings.
The magic circle that covered the sky and was like the vast starry sky left a very deep impression on him.
"If you want to get the recognition of the Mother Goddess, you must at least create a miracle building, right?
With my ability, can I control so many magic circles?"
Seeing that Qi Ge seemed a little uneasy, Agaide comforted him:
"Disciple, don't worry. You are so talented in design that you will definitely not get stuck like your teacher did.
There are 26 chances, enough for you to try.
Besides, if you really get stuck, you can still accept disciples.
I can accept disciples like you, so you can definitely do it."
At this point, Agaide emphasized:
"You should have a quota for accepting disciples now. When you reach level 40 and 45, you will unlock the second and the third place.
The master-disciple relationship between us architects is different from other professions. It is a community of interests that is closer than that between father and son. When you accept a disciple, you must consider it carefully.
Those who are not smart enough cannot be accepted, those who are not talented enough cannot be accepted, and those who are a sign of premature death cannot be accepted. Be cautious, be cautious.
I was too confident at the beginning and accepted two losers who pretended to be geniuses. If I hadn't met you, I might have died of old age now. "
"Okay, teacher."
Qi Ge retracted his thoughts, nodded solemnly, and then said:
"By the way, teacher, don't make my promotion to master public for now.
Xingfeng's identity is still useful , you can use my promotion to master to make a little article.
Our reform plan for Bracada has reached the middle stage, and it may enter the final stage at any time according to the changes in the situation. During this period, I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on Bracada and make sure nothing goes wrong. "
"Well, no problem."
Agaide touched his chin and smiled:
"Qi Ge, you are the chosen one of Asia Sand, and you have been in Asia Sand for less than a year.
Strictly speaking, you are not even one year old now.
You have achieved mastership at less than one year old, which is unprecedented.
Even Serena is not as talented as you, you are worthy of being my apprentice, hahahaha."
Qi Ge laughed twice with Agaide and said:
"Teacher, since I have made all the preparations, I will set out to find Tanan at the World Tree.
Teacher, please pay more attention to the God's Chosen City and Bracada."
Speaking of this, Agaide suddenly became serious and said seriously:
"Disciple, you must be careful when you go to find Tanan.
Tanan's strength is too strong and too dangerous.
Before becoming a demigod, Tanan's nickname was not the Man of Change, but the God of Ruins.
He has killed his way to demigodhood, and the number of legends who died in his hands is no less than two digits.
In terms of record, few people in the entire Yasha world can compare with him."
"The God of Ruins..."
Qi Ge stared at the sky in a trance.
Tanan got the title of [God of Ruins] shortly after the first battle of all races.
That period of history was deeply buried, and it was an untold secret that could only be found in the historical records in the game.
Qi Ge muttered unconsciously:
"It would be great if I could find the records of Tanan's rise, so that I can know more about Tanan."
Agaide heard Qi Ge's murmur, clapped his hands, and said:
"It just so happens that I was just about to tell you this.
Apprentice, do you still remember the two keys to the Wisdom Library that the Great Council rewarded you with when you conquered the Demon King Territory?
I found out that the eastern Wisdom Library contains a diary written by Tanan when he was young.
If you want to know about Tanan, that diary should be of great help to you."
Qi Ge:!
There is such a good thing?
...
Qi Ge followed the guidance of the key and came to a snowy mountain around the [Snowtop Fortress] in the northeast of Bracada. To its southwest is the snowy plateau, and to the north is the Everfrost Icefield where the Everfrost City is located.
This is a snowy mountain top of 2,000 meters high. This snowy mountain is snowy all year round, extremely cold, and the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk.
Holding the key, Qi Ge successfully passed through an invisible barrier, passed the review of the Titans at the foot of the mountain, and entered the snow mountain.
Flying to the middle of the mountain, Qi Ge looked up and saw that the area of the snow mountain began to shrink rapidly from the middle of the mountain, presenting a pyramid shape. At the top of the mountain, there was only a very thin ice cone.
The magnificent [Library of the Wise] is located on that ice column.
The [Library of the Wise], which covers an area of nearly thousands of square meters, stands on a small ice column. Just looking at it makes people terrified, as if it will fall at any time.
The appearance of the [Library of the Wise] is solemn and elegant. The flawless white stone pillars support the huge marble dome. Its tall dome is inlaid with gorgeous golden decorations, as if it is a crown symbolizing honor.
[Library of the Wise] is a natural wonder rich in cultural and historical heritage, which is completely different from other natural wonders.
It is a concentration of the history of the Yasha world, the home of countless ethnic civilizations, a temple of knowledge, and the crystallization of wisdom.
The birth of each [Library of the Wise] corresponds to a brilliant civilization in the Asian world.
Qi Ge felt a surge of respect in his heart just by looking at the [Library of the Wise].
There is a huge snow-capped mountain with no one around except Seven Pigeons.
The Titans responsible for guarding the [Library of the Wise Men] in Brakada did not approach this majestic and majestic building, and only dared to camp at the foot of the mountain.
It was eerily quiet.
The seven pigeons flew near the top of the mountain, put away the aster religiously, and climbed to the top of the mountain with their feet and hands in the wind and snow.
The test of [Wise Man Library] has begun at this moment.
The Zhirakshas who guard the [Wise Man Library] believe that the journey to seek the truth must be full of difficulties and obstacles. In the process of seeking the truth, every bit of laziness will greatly compromise the final truth obtained. .
Therefore, the more the knowledge seeker shows respect for knowledge when entering the [Wise Man Library], the higher the favorability of the [Wise Man Library] administrator towards the knowledge seeker.
The seven pigeons braved the frost and wind and snow to get under the icicles, put on their claws and spiked shoes, and climbed slowly and steadily along the straight icicles to the bottom of the [Library of the Wise Men].
He faced the ground of [Wise Man Library] and said piously:
"In the palace of wisdom, I am the master hero Seven Doves and a devout seeker of knowledge. Please allow me to peek into wisdom and truth."
[System prompt: The administrator heard your call and reviewed you in detail. 】
In Qige's ears, an old voice sounded out of thin air: "It's been a long time since a seeker came. Let me take a good look."
"In terms of wisdom, you only have advanced wisdom skills, and in terms of level, you are only level 30.
You have neither wisdom nor strength. If you want to get in, you can only rely on your reputation.
Show me your reputation..."
"Huh? The favor of four gods, the recommendation of three power masters, and the approval of my mother!"
The old voice suddenly became softer:
"You are actually a noble architect and a great being who has been favored by the gods.
All palaces of wisdom will not shut you out. It's cold under the mountain, so come in and rest quickly. "
[System prompt: The administrator lets you enter the Wise Man Library. Although you can only stay there for a short time, you can learn a lot]
A white light flashed, and the seven pigeons were teleported to the door of the [Wise Man Library].
Qi Ge climbed up the marble steps of the [Library of the Wise], admiring the magnificent sculptures and decorative patterns around the steps.
The first Chaos invasion, the struggle for hegemony among all races, the grand occasion of the Elf Empire... every detail of the sculptures and decorations corresponds to the history of the Yasha world.
For people like Qi Ge who are familiar with the history of Yasha, just walking through these steps will give them a sense of sacredness as they participate in a "Holy Land Tour".
The door of [Wise Man Library] has been opened, and Qi Ge strode inside.
Inside the library, tall bookshelves are like mountains, extending to the end of the line of sight.
Every book is carefully placed, divided into categories, and neatly arranged. The obsessive-compulsive disorder reads it with ecstasy.
They are as vast as the ocean and as deep and mysterious as the forest.
In the sea of these books, you will occasionally see some wise Rakshasa sitting quietly on the bench. They are concentrating on reading the books in their hands and recording and organizing the contents of the books.
Their figures looked hazy and mysterious under the light, and time seemed to be slowed down, like a static picture, making Qige feel peaceful and peaceful.
A Zhi Luosha on crutches walked slowly to Qi Ge and said to Qi Ge softly:
"Knowledge seekers, welcome to the [Wise Man's Library].
You can find any knowledge you want here, but remember, you can only stay here for half an hour, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it, so please hurry up. "
Although the opponent looks like an old lion with gray fur, he is definitely not weak if he can be the administrator of the [Wise Man Library].
The seven pigeons bowed and saluted:
"Dear Knowledge Manager, I would like to check the information about [Blind Brotherhood], [Red Lady Mary Red], [World Tree] and [Tanan]."
"Hmm." The administrator snorted lightly and said:
"It seems that your goal is very clear, which is good. The ocean of knowledge is vast, and half-heartedness will only lead to loss of direction.
We have a volume of information on Lady Red and some information on Tanan in our library.
I'll let someone take you there. "
"Thank you!"
The administrator called a young female Zhi Luosha. She took Qi Ge to a section called [Biography] and helped Qi Ge find some books.
"This is [Mary Hong's Legend], this is [The Rise of the God of War in Ruin], [Ten Thousand Phases Tower South], [The Legend of War God Tower South] and the most precious [Tanan Diary]."
The little lioness blushed and said to Qige: "This [Tannan Diary] cannot be copied due to the request of the God of War. It is the only copy in the entire world of Yasha. You must be careful when reading it."
"Thank you."
Time was limited, Qi Ge responded with a smile, pushed the other books aside, picked up [Tanan's Diary] and started reading against the clock.
"Tanan's Diary"
[Prologue: Before I became a demigod hero, I was a barbarian. I led the barbarians who had not yet joined the stronghold forces to break free from the shackles of the wizard rulers and restore my people to their past greatness. However, I also committed many unforgivable crimes. Forgive mistakes.
This is my story, and my fall from grace. 】
[March 6th in the cactus calendar.
An old man staggered towards me, scaring away some of my sheep, and then he fell into my arms.
Only then did I notice that the old man had an arrow stuck in his back.
He was weak from blood loss, but when he grabbed my hand, I couldn't pull it away.
He told me that he was a bard, the last survivor of them, and that they had always insisted on recording the true history of the barbarians, and were persecuted by [Wizard King Gavin].
Our bards of the bards were listed as criminals by the Bracada Empire long ago, because the heroic stories they recorded often encouraged the barbarian tribes to rebel.
Before he died, the bard mustered up his strength and told me his last story - a true story about us barbarians, the truth that the wizard king had always tried to cover up.]
[At that time, I realized that we barbarians were not born slaves of the Bracada Empire.
Long ago, one of the ancestors of my tribe, a great warrior named Jag, organized a huge nomadic tribe and conquered all the lands between the seas - including part of Bracada, and even almost defeated the two wizard kings, Gavin and Magnus.
When I heard this story, my heart began to beat violently.
It was like the excitement when I was a child hiding in the wild, avoiding the prying eyes of prey, and then rushing out to kill the prey.
It also reminded me of the games I often played with my companions. I used a stick instead of a sword, played the hero of the barbarians, and stood up against the evil wizards played by them.
But when I grew up, I gave up these games and regarded them as children's fantasies. Countless facts and elders told me that we barbarians are born to be slaves of wizards. Rebellion against wizards is a betrayal of tradition and against heaven.
But it happened, it really happened! In the history of our barbarians!
I couldn't help but think of the current barbarian lords.
I can't imagine that fat man who loves drinking can lead any army, let alone win the war.
I can't help but reflect, why did the courage of our people disappear? 】
The first page of Tanan's diary whetted Qi Ge's appetite.
Wizard King, Gavin, Magnus, Barbarian, Tanan, Slave...
These keywords made Qi Ge excited.
In the previous life, players familiar with the stronghold knew that there were no barbarians in the [regular troops] of the stronghold forces.
Many players who are not familiar with the stronghold will regard the riders of [Wolf Cavalry] as barbarians, but in fact, the riders of [Wolf Cavalry] are orcs.
The evidence is that the combination of [Gobi Wolf] and [Barbarian] cannot form a wolf cavalry.
The real purebred barbarian troops are all [extra-regular troops] of the stronghold, such as nomads, which are standard barbarian troops.
However, the Barbarian tribe, which obviously does not have any arms belonging to the stronghold forces, has the largest number of heroes in the entire stronghold forces, including legendary heroes such as Shiva, Goth, Trok, and Oris.
Even the demigod hero Kenro Hag, and Korg, who will shine later, are barbarians.
According to the exploration of players in the previous life, the barbarians did not belong to the sequence of the stronghold forces at the beginning.
In other words, when the Behemoth tribe established the stronghold forces, the barbarians did not join.
But later, the barbarians perfectly integrated with the stronghold forces and even became the backbone of the stronghold forces.
Everyone knows that something must have happened during this period.
But the history of this period seems to have been deliberately hidden by someone, and it is difficult to find relevant records.
"Perhaps, Tanan has something to do with this history?"
Qi Ge thought for a while and continued to read "Tanan Diary".
[April 12th of the Cactus Calendar.
I kept telling the tribe members about the history of the hero Jag and told them that we barbarians should resist.
But strangely, other tribesmen were not as excited as I was after hearing my story.
Some said that I was stirring up trouble and would one day draw the wrath of Bracada.
Some were waiting to see if I had the strength to support my declaration of resistance.
I heard that many people were talking about me in private.
They said that there was an obstacle in front of me that I had to defeat - Fatty Labak, the lord of all barbarians, the lord of barbarians appointed by the wizard king Gavin.
They all thought that I would never be able to defeat Labak because he was a real hero.
Let's see, I won't give up. 】
[April 28, Cactus Calendar
The plan was not going very smoothly.
I had done my best and became the new patriarch of our tribe, but no one was willing to follow me to resist Bracada.
Just when I thought that no one except me wanted to restore the glory of the barbarians, one night my father sneaked into my camp with a group of barbarian herders.
They said they were impressed with my success so far, but like many people, they had families to take care of and could not take up swords to fight as they would like.
Instead, they gave me a gift of gold coins that my secret supporters had painstakingly gathered.
"We have done our best," they said.
This cheered me up again. Although there were not many gold coins, at least it was a good start. 】
【May 7th in Cactus Calendar
Rumors about me defeating the former chief and becoming the new chief spread like wildfire. Taking this opportunity, I found some young people and asked them to go to other tribes to spread the story of Jagger and my determination to rebel.
As my spies return from all corners of my homeland, I know that other tribes remain silent and neutral.
They were neither with me nor against me, except for one person.
That's Rabak.
He declared unequivocally that I was a traitor to the barbarians, that Jagger's story was a rumor, and that he would kill me to silence me.
Rabak was appointed by the Wizard King to serve as the leader of our barbarians. He is the strongest tribal leader and a hero.
But I had never heard of Rabac doing anything for us savages. He was Bracada's dog.
He sat in the warm fortress and played songs every night.
And I remember many nights when my family had to go hungry because I had to pay taxes on all my food reserves.
Rabak would not stand still while I angered the wizard. I am sure that the two of us will meet soon, and not as friends. I must prepare as soon as possible. 】
【May 8th in Cactus Calendar
One of my captains informed me that a messenger had been sent from Rabak.
What is there to say to this person? Of course he wasn't going to join me. Maybe some empty threats.
"Tell that messenger," I said, "unless he brings news of the unconditional surrender of Rabac, I will meet the so-called Lord of the Barbarians on the battlefield!"]
【May 10th in Cactus Calendar
As I removed my protective gear after the long march, a dark figure jumped out of the shadows, brandishing a shining knife. I dodged and knocked the assassin to the ground with my bare hands.
When my troops dragged the assassin's body away, I said angrily: "Assassin! Rabak learned so successfully from the Wizard King that he didn't even have the courage to fight openly.
Now I'm sure I'm on the right path! He has no qualifications to lead barbarians. ”. 】
【May 15th in Cactus Calendar
Before the battle, I told Rabak and his tribe the story of Jagger at the loudest volume, hoping to ignite their blood and join me in resisting the wizard.
I thought they would be as excited as I was about Jag's win.
But Rabak only sneered at the story of Jaggar and his great army.
"Fairy tales are not even rumors," he said to me disdainfully. "Only children can talk about this. Tanan, it seems that your brain has not grown up just like the balls in your crotch."
My blood boiled as the savages of the Rabak tribe joined in the laughter.
I'm pretty sure that's not a story! That's true!
"What do you know, fat stupid big-eared monster!" I yelled at Lubbock. This is a constant humiliation of the barbarians.
I have said my words and cannot go back on them, but I don’t want to go back on them either. Even if I know that the other person is bigger than me and has far more experience than me.
When Rabak challenged me to a duel, I still didn't back down.
Jagger’s story cannot be discounted, and neither can I.
Like Jagger in the story, I found ways to outnumber the enemy.
I had most of my troops hold off Rabak's army.
And I used my speed to rush to his side and start a duel with him.
In the one-on-one duel, I burst out with great strength due to great anger, and cut off all of Rabak's weapons and his head.
I never knew I had so much power, and at that moment, I became a hero.
In shock, the warriors of the Rabak tribe swore allegiance to me, their new leader. 】
…
Tanan's diary is very long and written very wonderfully. Although his literary talent is not gorgeous, and there are even some grammatical errors, the story is very legendary.
Qi Ge was worried that there was not enough time, so he could only speed up the browsing speed, reading ten lines at a time.
After defeating Rabak, Tanan became the leader of the barbarians and began to conquer other tribes in preparation for resisting Brakada's rule.
【May 19th in Cactus Calendar
I sat alone last night thinking about the tragic losses of barbarian history.
I have been unable to find anyone who knows the history of Jagger and his unit. Some people pretended to be wise and made up some ridiculous stories instead of admitting their ignorance. I saw through them one by one.
Finally, I came up with a solution. I told my people to spread the word that I was looking for the bards.
Anyone who dares to come out of hiding will be under my protection. If my people are to regain their courage, they must first reclaim their past. Only bards know these secrets. 】
Later, while marching in the wilderness, they met another bard hiding in the wilderness and learned more about the true history of the barbarians.
[Cactus Calendar May 24th
A fierce-looking man was brought to me. He looked like he'd been hiding out in the wilderness for a long time, and his protruding ribs suggested he hadn't been eating too well. The soldier who brought him in said he deliberately wandered around the camp as if he was waiting for them to catch him.
I asked him: "Who are you?"
"I am a bard, my king."
"I'm not a king."
"From what I heard, that's not the case. I heard that you would protect us bards from being harmed by the Wizard King in exchange for our stories."
"You heard it right." I said, feeling uneasy until he actually told the story of us savages, and made all savages, including me, feel what I had felt. Invigorate.
I couldn't be happier.
The old poet who died in my arms was not the last bard. The history of our nation has not been lost! 】
【May 25
One of my captains, Hardak, mentioned that if I wanted to raise an army, I would need a lot of gold.
An easy way to get gold is to defeat the monsters that are wreaking havoc everywhere and get it from the treasure chest instead of collecting it from the people.
Another way is to find gold mines, like the one in the south.
I agree very much with this. If I, like the wizard, expropriate the people's gold coins and food, then there is no point in me resisting the wizard. 】
【June 13
Over the past few days, three more bards have emerged from hiding, but they bring bad news. They are the last batch.
I trembled thinking that if it weren't for their courage and determination to risk their lives to hide in the dangerous wilderness in order to preserve ancient history, we barbarians would have almost lost the history hidden in the minds of these four people.
In that case, the barbarians who have lost all their inheritance will eventually become the dogs raised by the wizard king, just like Rabak.
I immediately ordered each bard to choose two apprentices, so that if they died, their knowledge would not be lost.
"And we need to teach him quickly," I said. "Because next year, you and your students will each teach two more students, and this will continue. In this way, even if we fail, the barbarians will still have a future."]
As the diary was read, Tanan's image gradually became three-dimensional in Qige's mind.
He was born humble and did not receive any education until he reached adulthood, but he seemed to be born with extremely high wisdom and courage.
He is a barbarian, with the impulse and blood of a barbarian. But he is definitely not a barbarian with only hot blood and no brains. He is very stable and comprehensive in both life and work.
Qi Ge even saw some reflections of himself in Tanan.
"It seems a little arrogant to say this, but I think Tanan, like me, is an aggressive but cautious gambler."
【June 19
This evening I sat with four bards, and listened to their tales of Jagger, and how he conquered all the lands between the two seas.
He has countless heroic deeds.
"Jagger was from a long time ago," I said. "Where are the barbarian kings who succeeded him?"
The bards exchanged meaningful glances, and then the eldest said: "Jarg was the last. He reigned until old age, but when he died the kingdom of our barbarians fell to pieces. .
His sons fought among themselves for dominance, and in the end our nation was too weak to resist the Wizard King, the kingdom of Brakada. "
"Jage is the last king?" I said in surprise.
"No," said the older poet. "There must be another one. Only a king can unite a people. Only a king can remove the yoke that the wizard has placed on our shoulders!"
It took me a while to realize from their eager eyes that the person they were talking about was me.
Barbarian King? Before this, I just wanted to defeat the wizard, and I had never considered becoming a king.
But unconsciously, it seemed that I had no other choice. 】
…
The subsequent diary records the legendary story of Tanan's unification of the barbarian tribes.
Find gold mines in the mountains, get guidance from the prophet, build rafts and go to sea... More and more barbarian tribes are conquered by Tanan. And this naturally attracted Brakada's attention.
【August 25
A red bird flew in front of me with a message tied to its feet.
The red bird symbolizes the death of my people - this is definitely no coincidence.
A bard opens the message.
"To the savages who think they are kings. Surrender immediately, or your death will be slow and painful. In our interrogation chambers, where even strong men only live a few weeks, you don't want to taste magic."
The poet with a gloomy face shook his head and said to me: "It is only signed by Bracada."
I know that wizards like to torture the weak, and I don't doubt their authenticity. I'm also a little scared to think that if I lose the battle, I will be devastated by those horrible magics.
But I couldn't show how I really felt as I looked into the faces of the people gathered before me waiting for my answer.
On the contrary, I smiled, held the red bird in my hand, slowly brought the bird to my mouth, and kissed its head, just like kissing those tribesmen who had sacrificed or were about to sacrifice.
"I'm glad I got the chance to take on these wizards," I boasted. "Soon they will find that they will not die soon if they fall into my hands! I will let them know what true cruelty is." 】
"The God of War is also afraid. When he was young, the God of War was only a human being."
Qi Ge sighed and continued to read the diary.
With Brakada's vigilance, Tanan, who was going smoothly, began to suffer various head-on attacks. What surprised Qi Ge was that in the process of resisting Brakada's rule, the barbarians actually had an ally. , an ally that Qi Ge could never have imagined was weaker than the barbarians.
【August 30
After arriving on the other side, I met some weird-looking, short little guys.
They were locked up in the stone mines with us barbarians, wearing heavy shackles to dig ore for the garrisoned mages.
After I defeated the mage, I told them the history of our barbarians and told them of my determination to resist Brakada.
This is what they told me when I gave them their freedom and asked them.
"Great Barbarian King, we don't know if our people have a history as great as the barbarians.
But it doesn’t matter even if it doesn’t.
If there is no history, create history! We want to follow you.
Please let us join you and we will also rescue our compatriots.”
I was impressed by the courage, optimism and kindness of those little guys, maybe they can be a good helper for us savages.
Oh, by the way, they call themselves goblins. 】
"Hiss..." Qi Ge's breathing became heavier when he saw this.
"The goblins ever rebelled against Brakada, or did they follow Tanan to rebel against Brakada?!"
Qi Ge never expected that he would get such an unexpected reward when he wanted to know Tanan's past.
What happened to Tanan later? What happened to the goblins following Tanan?
Qi Ge eagerly wanted to read through it quickly, looking for clues related to goblins, but his will forced him to calm down.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time and read. There is enough time, don't miss any details."
【September 2
A goblin covered in blood escapes from a detective mission with terrible news.
My most experienced captain [Foglar] was attacked by a mage.
Of all the troops, only the goblin escaped, and he described in detail the brutal and immediate execution of Foglar.
Foglar didn't even get a chance to resist!
What a terrible death - he was trapped by magic, unable to even pull out the sword, and was tortured to death by acid that gradually dissolved from the base of his feet.
These wizards don't understand fairness or honor at all. I gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, hoping that there would be a spellcaster within reach of the blade, if I could counterattack these villains.]
【September 9
My friend Hudak brought a young long-haired warrior to my tent late last night. The three of us took a moment to plan, and then the warrior left wearing a new suit of armor.
After the young warrior left, Hardak asked me, "How did you know they would take the bait?"
I said, "They are like coyotes. They will only hunt the weak and not fight us head-on. The lost king, they cannot resist."]
【September 22
I smile when I hear about a magical raid by mages on a distant village. My plan to lure the enemy was successful.
I gather armies and force my enemies to concentrate their efforts elsewhere.
A few days ago, I sent the long-haired young warrior who looked like me to that village to create the illusion that the barbarian king was visiting a woman.
The wizards fell into a trap, thinking I was alone, but when they launched their assault, they discovered that the village was inhabited by my troops, and that the young warrior in the king's armor was not the man they were looking for.
Now the wizards of Bracada know they are not the only ones who know how to set traps.
The report also mentioned that the young seducer even killed a mage before dying - a glorious ending that would be sung by bards for a long time.
The goblins' siege weapons have been assembled, and I will take advantage of the mages' departure to attack their city. 】
【September 23
A brilliant victory!
Wizards are not invincible, Brakada is not as powerful as we think! 】
…
【December 6
The troops were routed and we had a brief victory, but the troops we defeated were only the border garrison of Bracada.
When the real army arrived, facing the sheer numbers, we had almost no power to resist and could only choose to escape.
When I dispersed and fled, I arrived at a valley.
My men told me that this valley was the stronghold of the ancient rebels. The barbarians once rebelled, and tens of thousands of barbarians died here in the wizard king's raid.
Scattered bones can still be seen where the bodies were exposed and unburied. This sight seemed to remind me how powerful and hateful my enemy was; my troops bowed their heads before this sight.
We got a surprise attack here!
My enemy burst out of the bushes and tried to kill me.
The bones of my people are crushed under their feet. Before the sound subsided, I launched a quick and fierce counterattack.
The counterattack was successful, but these enemies were merely outposts of the larger force. I must get out of here as soon as possible and recruit more barbarians to join our forces. 】
【December 9
Damn it, I figured out who attacked me yesterday, Kerr, a mage from Brakada.
Most of my troops survived, but the four bards who stayed behind for me were captured by Kerr.
Kerr declared that he would kill the bards within three months unless I disbanded and surrendered; this condition shattered the confidence of my troops.
For months I had been emphasizing to my troops the bards and the history embedded in their stories, which gave us barbarians the courage to resist.
So what happens if the bard dies? If I can't rescue them within three months, I will know the result soon. 】
【December 10
"King Tanan," my advisor Hardak told me. "I met a man on the road, riding a fast horse. He said he got it from a stable in the south. If we want to rescue those bards before Kerr's deadline, we must arrive every week Let’s visit that stable and borrow some horses that can speed up our movement.”
Hardak's advice is always right, and I'm going to record it. 】
…
【January 7
One of the sentries showed me a notice written by Kerr that appeared mysteriously on the doors of all the houses in the town at night.
"The so-called Barbarian King Tarnan, whose arrogance led to the death of innocent people. Like a coward, he refused to hand himself over, and now a poor old man died for him. Let this be a lesson, Let you see clearly the true nature of this self-proclaimed king.
For his own benefit, he was unwilling to surrender even at the expense of his most respected elders. It was clear that as long as he surrendered, the four elders would be saved.
Now, I must demand - no, plead - that Tanan surrender and spare the suffering of others. "
I crumpled the paper into a ball but said nothing. I couldn't shake the feeling of powerlessness - and in another way, Kerr was right. 】
【January 10
A spy came to me with terrible news.
Out of impatience, and perhaps as a warning to me, Kerr did not keep his promise, and in just one month he executed the eldest of the four bards.
This was tragic news, for the Elder Bard was the wisest of them all, and now his knowledge was lost forever.
This act only reaffirmed the urgency of my mission and the evil nature of my enemy.
That night I found it difficult to sleep.
With the death of the old poet, what part of barbarian history also disappeared?
In a way, I have let down my people and the bards who trusted me.
One of them has disappeared forever. I stood up from my mattress, knelt in the sand, and held onto the dry soil. I gritted my teeth and swore to the earth:
"I will not fail again! Even if I use strong methods, I will recruit enough troops as soon as possible to rescue them."]
When seeing this, Qi Ge slowly let out a breath.
Unknowingly, Tanan, who only wanted to liberate the barbarians, began to take some very detrimental measures to the barbarians, including forced participation in the army.
The young, passionate Tanan began to gradually collapse.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Qi Ge shook his head and turned to the next page.
His pupils shrank, and on this page, he saw news about goblins again!
