What did you do with the dice?

Five excellent Wolf warriors can hold back a male Rhine and deal with him for a long time.

But how to deal with five male Rhine tribesmen working together?

This was the first time they had engaged in a head-on group battle for territory and vassalage.

Total time: 15 minutes.

Chapter 139: Lionheart Council (Part 2)

After becoming vassals of the small tribe and obtaining weapons, equipment and resources, the five male Rhine tribesmen became increasingly powerful.

Over the next year, they repeated this behavior and recruited two new members through Megalo's original educational method of "continuous beatings" + "humiliating role-playing of female Rhine duties," happily watching others experience the same suffering they had experienced.

At this point, an alliance of seven lions was born. Feeling that no new members were needed, Megalo decided to give his lion alliance, which was composed of slaves and losers, a name - "Lionheart Mutual Aid Association".

Of course, Megaro did not forget the anger that had kept him alive, so the Mutual Aid Society used the same method to completely wipe out a circle of influence also led by Rhine, and killed the other party's "king" while looking at him in disbelief.

The weak should be eliminated so that the strong can survive?

Sorry, we don’t want strong and unique people.

The seven male Rhine worked together and, under Megalo's command, killed all the female Rhine guards. Although everyone was a little surprised by Megalo's order to leave no one alive, their long-term cooperation had made them develop the habit of following Megalo's orders.

So even if they had to kill all the female lions instead of absorbing them into the tribe to reproduce like their ancestors did, they did it anyway. Those female Rhine lions who had no intention of resisting did not understand why Megaro did not accept them as outstanding as other Rhine lions until they were killed.

The seven male Rhine lions can fight together and can easily kill those "kings" who they once thought they could never defeat in their lifetime. They are also a part of them. Except for Broken Tail, the other five lions have completely forgotten the fact that they are stronger than Megaro.

In their eyes, Megalo is the "king" who can save the losers.

As for females? Actually, they are no longer that important. I already don't even care about those kings, so why should I gamble with females for my offspring?

If you want to become stronger, why not absorb more slave lions and then go through the process ruthlessly? How can these females who shatter at the touch of their own alliance be as strong as the males of the Rhine Clan?

They are not needed to do hunting, it is more efficient to do it themselves. As for other chores, they can be left to the vassals, and they will be happy to do these jobs that are originally only suitable for female Rhine.

----

A year later, Megaro led the Lionheart Alliance into a hall.

After a short and fierce battle, Megaro watched the last female Rhine Guard being pierced through the head by a spear even though her companions were being killed and she was about to be the next one. He sneered, spat at the corpse, and kicked it away.

After doing all this, he raised his head and sneered at the Rhine man who was once so high and mighty that he didn't even need to look him in the eye. He was also the "king" who had once ordered him to be exiled.

At this moment, Wang was fighting with Broken Tail and another lion from the Lionheart Alliance. Even though he was indeed stronger than Broken Tail, two fists could not beat four hands. After the third male Rhine joined in, he had no chance of turning the tables.

During the battle, all the female Rhine harems were killed.

A group of female Rhine tribesmen can join forces to defeat the weak Megalo, but now Megalo has four male Rhine tribesmen on his side.

As for the Rhine slaves? Without the King's orders, they simply didn't have the qualifications or the courage to enter this hall. Even if they had the ability to stop the slaughter, their ingrained instincts, coupled with the teachings that "fighting foreign enemies is the King's duty and honor," would keep them from moving forward even when faced with the threat of genocide.

"How could you kill them all! Bastard! You sullied the honor of the God of War. I will challenge you to a divine duel!"

God's Judgment Duel, the only place where fair one-on-one duels can be carried out.

However, the God of War did not respond to his request.

The triggering condition for the God's Judgment Duel is "pure fighting spirit", and the opponent who chooses to initiate a duel at this time is only because of his unwillingness to accept the result and his fear of the strength of the Ambition Alliance. Therefore, he wants to fight Megaro in a duel to prove his qualifications and is unwilling to lose to such a group of unruly guys.

Therefore, from the moment he proposed to duel, he had already had the idea of ​​avoiding a one-on-many situation in his mind and had lost his courage, so it was naturally impossible for him to successfully initiate a duel.

"I am... the king... a mere slave who doesn't even have the courage to challenge me, how dare you..."

Megalo coldly pierced the man's throat with his spear. Seeing the light in his eyes gradually fade, he smiled with satisfaction, "I'm sorry, but it seems the lineage of the mighty cannot continue."

He turned around, set the palace on fire, and said slowly, "Take good care of the children. Train the remaining Rhine males into vassal soldiers. If they want to challenge and become the new king, teach them a few times first. If they still don't wake up, kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Let those who think they are the most powerful die.

As for the females, each person picked one or two that he liked and kept them, and killed the rest.

As for the remaining children, she can kill them after she has given birth to three, or she can have more children if she wants. As long as there are resources to raise them well and they can accept the idea that these children are born equal and do not want to inherit the suffering we have endured, then have more children, the more the better.

Are humans able to develop into a powerful kingdom, wantonly capturing our own kind in this orcish territory, because we are weak? No, humans are the weakest race in the world. Aside from a few powerful individuals who can be called "kings" among humans, the vast majority of humans, even a dozen or so, cannot defeat a female Wolf.

According to our thinking, they should have been extinct long ago!

But no, not only did they not become extinct, but they became the overlords of the land.

Therefore, it is our path that is wrong. We are on a wrong path that is destined to be enslaved. Facts have proved that only believing in the so-called 'king' is an absolutely wrong rule. Even the Tigers can put aside their prejudices and form a group. We, the Rhine people, must change!

And I will become the pioneer of a new era!"

"I will unite all the orcs, strong and weak alike. I will also establish a kingdom similar to that of humans, but much larger than theirs. It will be a huge sphere of influence that only exists in the world, and everyone in the Lionheart Alliance will be its 'king'!"

"If one day I am lucky enough to live to see the day of success, then either my son or my son's son will be able to inherit my will and establish such an orc kingdom."

"Then let's call it the 'El Empire'! A great orc empire ruled by all the Rhine people!"

----

The rest of the story is not surprising. It is nothing more than that the Lionheart Mutual Aid Society continues to grow and develop over the long years. More and more male Rhine slaves awaken and take the initiative to join the mutual aid society. The female Rhine people also choose to obey the changes of the times and submit to the "stronger ones in overall strength" because of the "strength" of the mutual aid society.

The Rhine tribe achieved an unprecedented level of unity and eventually formed the Lionheart Alliance. Soon its power swept across the territory of the Orcs and unified all the tribes into the El Empire.

After all, at that time, hundreds of lion warriors gathered together, and thousands of female Rhine tribesmen assisted them. It was impossible for anyone to stop their army. After all, the number of male Rhine tribesmen was naturally small, and their existence itself was a qualitative change, not to mention that quantitative changes could be added to it at this moment.

What's more, the battlefield has strategic depth and gradients. Even if tens of thousands of people attack together, the actual number of enemies they can face at the same time is only a few hundred or a thousand. Moreover, the combat power gradient in this world is not so balanced. Sometimes, one can easily defeat several enemies across levels.

For example, someone like Rusalka can definitely play the role of Zhao Zilong. For him, entering and exiting the enemy's camp is just a matter of spending more or less time.

He may not be able to control the course of the entire battle, but the course of the battle cannot control his behavior.

Rusalka: (My goodness, this Lionheart is also an extreme boxing lion... Is this a slide that can be touched? Will the world be squeezed off?)

Sunita: (It feels a bit like the Bad Boys League, but putting aside the gender issue, his ideas are progressive, but not much. Although he has broken free from the constraints of traditional concepts, he has only taken a step forward rather than running forward, because from the beginning to the end, his progressive ideas have not broken free from racial barriers.

This is evident from the fact that the Aiel Empire still uses racial distinctions, but perhaps they place humans near the ratmen, thus prohibiting slave-hunting teams from going there.

Rusalka: (Damn it, why aren't animal-eared loli allowed to immigrate freely? Then we'd have to ruthlessly free their borders! But I also feel quite sympathetic towards him. For example, if one day, Phoenix betrayed me, I would definitely want to kill her and then destroy this damn world... Shit, wait, put yourself in her shoes, if Theresa and I were together, would Phoenix kill me?)

Sanita: (It's very likely? So, are you still considering Theresa?)

Rusalka: (Well, I can only put her in the shopping cart for now and wait for Phoenix to put Possessiveness on sale before considering buying it.)

Ai Li expressed his own subjective opinion: "Meguro is incredibly scary. My grandma used to scare me by saying that if girls didn't obey, they would be sent to Meguro and killed."

She hesitated for a moment and added, "However, in reality, there are no more rumors of King Lionheart killing his wife. After all, the number of female Rhines and male Rhines is now roughly balanced, about 2 to 1."

Rusalka was envious, as one man could marry two, but she didn't know if Phoenix could accept a 2 to 1 ratio.

Sanita said yes, Phoenix would be happy to split Rusalka in two, but she probably would not give half to Theresa, but would choose to take two for herself, achieving the 2:1 that Rusalka wanted.

Rusalka glanced at Phoenix guiltily and thought it would be better to be timid at this stage. At least she still had the good life now.

Ai Li continued, "And under his terrifying intimidation, the female Rhine Clan members basically dare not act in a way that violates their love and loyalty. Isn't that... a good thing?"

But Rusalka had his own ideas. He felt that this was not because the female Rhine people had a change of heart and overcame their instincts, but because all of them were afraid and submissive to the Lionheart King or the Lionheart Council from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not a question of loyalty or whether they dare to cheat. It is purely in accordance with the old tradition. Now even if they are assigned to other lions, they will willingly obey orders.

Thinking about it this way, did King Lionheart, the dragon slayer, eventually become the evil dragon, and became the master of all female Rhine races, directly issuing national tasks, and mentally dominating all Rhine people?

Rusalka's idea was very wonderful, and Sanita sighed heavily. Although he had guessed that Rusalka would express some shocking opinions every time after listening to the story, guessing it was one thing, but it was still heartwarming to hear it in reality.

If you complain about him, he will be happy. If you don’t complain about him, he will feel very uncomfortable.

In short, under the management of the new system established by the Lionheart Council, the male Rhine people who used to fight only on their own are now organized into a similar guard unit and have become a very formidable enemy. Although the El Empire is not united internally, under the influence of the Rhine people's powerful rule, as long as the Lionheart Council does not fall, it can temporarily remain united.

However, Rusalka didn't understand why Aerie spoke well of her enemy, the Lionheart. This little girl was quite saintly, and just looking at her made people want to bully her.

She and Theresa are two extremes. One likes to actively flirt with you and make you lose your mind; the other does nothing, but you just want to actively interact with her.

If Theresa were to possess her, and the two of them could share perspective and intermittently allocate the use of their bodies, then "Oh my God" would no longer be an interjection, because a new heaven would indeed be born - a world of ice and fire!

Sunny Tower: (It's easy to cut you in half, but how can I cut you into three equal parts? I'm really curious about Phoenix's knife skills.)

Rusalka: (I just think about it, but it's no use. A little idiot like Rewi Alley would easily be tricked into getting pregnant, and then have to work several jobs to raise a child while still giving me money to play marbles.)

Sani Tieta: (Not to mention that your ideas should really be on the same table with Shang Yang, do you have this ability? You are pregnant, and the first step ends with you.)

Rusalka, who was temporarily infertile, was devastated by her brother's words.

Ai Li continued, "As for the Foxes, their numbers are also very small. Unlike the Rhines, there are more men than women. Most of the women are natural sorcerers, inheriting their bloodline. Their core organization is called the 'Nine-Tailed Council'. This organization is very old, existing before the founding of the Aiel Empire, and possibly even before the founding of Esidi."

Rusalka asked a very crucial question to him: "Is their leader the pink-haired one or the golden-haired one?"

Of course, black is not unacceptable. Although white is a bit similar to Phoenix, it’s okay considering the touch of the tail.

But if it is a mixed color like brown, orange, blue, or even a weird mixed color, Rusalka will never approve of it!

Either black stockings or white stockings, one black and one white will definitely make Rusalka, who has a solid color obsession, faint.

Green? A green cat is absolutely unacceptable. She's definitely the most ruthless of ruthless people. I feel like the red tip is disappearing. As for a fox... I might be hallucinating. Let's just classify them both as no-nos.

Ai Li shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Saint Lady didn't say."

Okay, then let’s consider it pink. Rusalka has imagined it herself. At worst, she can just catch it and dye it later.

Sanita: "I've encountered sorcerers from this organization before in Mingyue City. They're very powerful. What's the origin of the Nine-Tailed Council?"

Rusalka: (Is she very strong? I don't think I felt that way at all. That girl's name was Yu or something, and I don't think I even heard her introduce herself before I started fighting. I didn't even see her after the whole fight. Back then, she used her Dragonborn body and her loli voice to disgust me. She caused me severe mental damage, and I haven't asked her for compensation yet.)

Sanita: (Giving the Dragonborn magic immunity, don’t you know how terrifying this is? Oh, you’re such a pain in the ass, you don’t know. It’s okay.)

Ai Li: "The Council of Nine-Tailed is the oldest organization of believers of the God of War. The Fox Tribe, which previously ruled them, was a large tribe of Orcs and has always maintained a neutral stance. Even the Lionheart King only cooperated with them, not conquered them. The Council always has nine sorcerers, who use 'tails' as their codenames."

Rusalka: "Six tails means Vulpix? Then they have to recruit elites with 1-9 tails. Is that too extreme?"

Rewi Alley: "The number of tails has nothing to do with the number of seats. The one you encountered before might just have been the same number. It was just a coincidence."

Oh, that's how it is.

Rusalka: (It turns out the first group of War God's followers were spellcasters. The Rhine Clan, who have the strongest melee combat capabilities, developed independently. On the other hand, Sneidi believes in the Supreme of Arcane Magic. The main force of the founding army is the Knight Clan. The Mages, while powerful, are only used as a support. I feel like this world is full of coincidences.)

Character design expert Sanitieta has something to say: (Broaden your horizons and see the world with open eyes. Maybe the image of the Supreme Mage is the muscular Confucius, the melee Gandalf; and the image of the God of War is a Kung Fu woman with a Chinese-style split red cheongsam and a bun hairstyle, who is good at long-range Qigong output?)

Rusalka no longer had any desire to complain about the various aspects of Sanita's character design. He could only say that after traveling through time, Theresa's dressing had broadened his horizons.

Chapter 140 Elf Attack

After listening to the story of the El Empire as if it were history, Rusalka wanted to select soldiers and go to war on horseback. As soon as the spring plowing was over, he immediately led the army to the center.

However, not long after, someone from the guild informed Rusalka that someone had stored an encrypted file with them in Rusalka's name, and it had now been transferred to the Silver City. Should he send someone to deliver the file to him?

Rusalka was about to say yes when Sanita said beside her, "No need, we can go get it ourselves. We don't have anything else to do right now, so let's go with you."

The messenger nodded. After the brother finished speaking, Rusalka, who wanted to stay at home and go to bed after reading the documents, was forced to go out with him to the guild.

While he and Sanita were asking the driver to prepare the carriage, Phoenix learned the news in the kitchen and said she wanted to go too.

Sanita: "Then you can go shopping with Phoenix, have something to eat, and have a small date."

Thinking of this, Rusalka felt happy again.

The messenger rode in front to lead the way, and Rusalka and his party sat in the carriage behind.

After Rusalka and his group arrived at the guild, the adventurers who were sitting at the door eating and bragging all turned their eyes to him. The receptionist inside stood up and sent another receptionist to take Rusalka directly to the secret vault on the fourth floor via the side stairs. Then he stood at the door and asked the guard to call the guild leader.

When the male leader, who was also the vice president of the guild, heard that it was Rusalka, the elusive lord, who had come in person, he quickly ran out to greet him.

He first bowed and greeted Rusalka according to the order of greeting of aristocratic etiquette, and then greeted the "big customer" here, Sanita, warmly and shook hands. After the two exchanged a few words about the progress of the material commission and manpower hiring commission, which Rusalka felt she was completely unaware of, the person in charge invited them to the office to have a cup of tea and rest.

Rusalka didn't want to rest. He was eager to get his things and go on a date with Phoenix, but Sanitieta told him in the private chat: (The vice president's "rest" meant that there were some things he couldn't say publicly, including the fact that the other party had sent an envoy to the mansion to inquire today, which was itself unusual. If they really could deliver the goods to your door, why didn't they just let the envoy take the goods? Why did they go to such a fuss?)

Rusalka didn't quite understand why everyone had the same brain, so Sanitieta could come up with so many unusual situations from this very ordinary matter of picking up goods. Did he work in DDD of the Pseudo-Human Elimination Bureau before?

After entering the office, closing the door, and activating the soundproof barrier, the vice president first tactfully expressed that he hoped Phoenix would not be invisible when picking up things later.

Although it is a bit disrespectful to make this request, it is understandable. After all, there are always human professions in the world that are somewhat related to racial knights, especially the ecological niche of orcs. For example, the neighboring Esdi discriminates against the Filin people because they have been fighting with orcs on the border, so people think that they are cold-blooded and bloodthirsty with bad personalities.

Sinidi's side is simply following the trend and discriminating. They have never fought against orcs, so they also unreasonably think that assassins like the Filin tribe will definitely do some petty thefts.

Unlike Rusalka, he understands Phoenix very well, especially in terms of style. Rusalka has 120% trust in Phoenix, and she will definitely not steal things - because she prefers to rob openly.

The vice president continued, "It's like this, Lord Pearl Tear, we believe in the God of Law and Order, so we won't hide many things from you. This thing of yours must have been targeted by someone, and the risk is very high, so I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I hope you can come and take it in person.

I'd like to state in advance that our responsibility for the safekeeping of the items will end the moment they are delivered. After I personally deliver the items to you, if the items are damaged or lost, our guild will not bear any corresponding compensation liability."

Sani Tower: "What happened during the transportation?"

The vice president thought for a moment and said, "The client who delivered the item to the guild is already dead, so this commission, in our industry terminology, is a 'life-or-death commission.' It's for this reason that the guild, despite losing a large number of escort personnel, still chose to invest far more than the compensation and transportation revenue to transport this item from the central government to Silver City.

To be honest, this escort team encountered three attacks in total, and we lost 21 escort members, including three law enforcers and an executive officer. We were almost completely wiped out. This was because the transported items were very light and small, and our team members cleverly disguised them as damaged and hid them. We were able to secretly bring them back. Our guild has accepted the manpower losses of the entire transport, but as for the financial losses..."

Sanita: "No problem, just name your price."
