Chapter 189 Fortress City

The fortress city of Manoron stands at the intersection of a vast grassland and forest.

The afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the city, casting long shadows on the towering stone walls.

Perhaps it has not experienced the baptism of war for too long. This towering city wall is not only an indestructible barrier, but also a medal of the fortress city Manoron.

The tall city wall, which is more than ten stories high, is engraved with countless words and huge, gorgeous and exaggerated reliefs.

Obviously, those who are lucky enough to be inscribed on this city wall are the heroes, heroes and... enemies of this fortress city.

This is not only a city wall, but also engraved with the war epic of the Dragon Skull Clan.

Every brick and stone on the city wall carries the past wars and pain... and also records the glory and glory of the past.

Within the impressive and majestic walls of the fortress city Manoron, the most conspicuous thing is the magnificent church - the great temple dedicated to the god of gods [Sue Keli Pi].

The spire of the temple reaches straight into the sky, and the tower is engraved with countless mysterious runes.

At this time, under the setting sun, those inscriptions were emitting a faint blue light.

Countless buildings of different styles surround the temple in a tight and orderly manner, like stars over the moon.

The innermost circle is the magnificent large manor villa.

They show the nobility and glory of the nobility with their grandeur and exquisite decoration.

The setting sun shines on the exaggerated gold ornaments and pillars inlaid with various gemstones, reflecting the colorful light called wealth.

Slightly outside, there is an area composed of exquisite small independent houses.

Although these small single-family houses are not as large as the manor villas in the inner circle, each one is unique and exquisitely designed.

The small garden, exquisite balcony, and flowers and green plants placed on the windowsill all reveal a warm and peaceful atmosphere of life.

The buildings in the outer circle have turned into solid and neat masonry materials.

Although these buildings are not as gorgeous as the inner circle, every stone brick has been carefully trimmed, polished, and stacked horizontally and vertically... Although it is not gorgeous, it is at least clean and tidy.

However, outside the protection of this strong city wall, it is a different scene.

Dirty shacks built haphazardly cover every land as far as the eye can see.

If the temple located in the center of the fortress city Manoron is a pearl, then the place other than the pearl is a hot mosaic with a fresh taste.

At the edge of this mosaic, dozens of shackled humans were being whipped by green-skinned overseers.

"Work! Work! Don't be lazy! You pigs who don't understand!"

"If you can't complete the donation before dark, I will cut open your stomach and dig out your tender and delicious liver! Then use your intestines to serve as food and drinks..."

"Work, work! Get moving! Pigs!"

The green-skinned overseer looked at the human slaves with salivation. Although he knew that these slaves could not understand what he said, he still couldn't hold back.

Under the predator-like gaze of the green-skinned overseer, everyone couldn't help but speed up their movements——

——They are smearing a kind of brown-red oil on a certain kind of fruit, and then using flower petals to stick it on layer by layer.

This is a very labor-intensive job, and the requirements of the green-skinned overseer are very strict, which means that everyone can't get up to speed no matter what.

Suddenly, there were commotions in the distance.

One of the women was slightly distracted, and the green-skinned overseer suddenly whipped her!

"Work! Work! No distractions! Keep working for me!!"

The woman who was beaten trembled slightly and did not dare to cry out. She endured the pain in her body and accelerated the movements of her hands.

However... as she continued to work, the whip hit the spot on her back, and blood slowly seeped out, soaking the clothes on her back.

The green-skinned overseer who smelled the smell of blood became even more excited, baring his teeth from time to time and making remarks about how to eat human internal organs.

Although they didn't understand what he was talking about, his cannibalistic gaze made everyone secretly cheer up.

Suddenly, another green skin came in next to him and shouted something to the supervisor. The supervisor immediately frowned, shouted a few words at the human slaves, and hurriedly followed the green skin and left.

"Freya! Are you okay!?"

A strong black man came over and looked at the whipped woman with concern.

"It's okay, thank you." The woman forced a smile, but did not dare to stop the work in her hands.

"These damn orcs...can I help you take care of your wounds?" the black man continued to ask with concern.

"No, I'm fine." The woman still insisted.

"Then...okay." The black man left the woman disappointedly and returned to his work station.

"Tsk..." Next to him, another big man sneered.

"Why are you laughing!?" the black man said angrily.

"I'm laughing at you, my dear, you look like a male dog in heat..."

"You!?" The black man blushed, as if he was going to charge like a bull in the next second.

However……

"boom----"

A loud noise sounded next to several people...

Immediately afterwards, the ground beneath their feet trembled, and the violent shock wave made it impossible for everyone to stand still!

The "crafts" in their hands rolled everywhere, and occasionally there were fruits that were broken and cracked, which emitted a fishy smell that smelled like fresh protein.

The oil barrel fell over, and the brown grease scattered all over the ground.

The flower basket filled with flower petals also fell to the ground, and the bright petals fell on the sticky grease, covering the ground with a layer of "flower carpet".

The woman called Freya, who had just been whipped hard without saying a word, now looked at the "crafts" she was about to finish, but grabbed her hair in despair.

In the messy workshop, almost all the "crafts" fell to the ground and turned into a pile in the violent vibration.

The part that this woman was responsible for was no exception.

"It's over... Everything is over, wuwuwuwu..." Freya cried softly.

"What happened?"

The strong man who mocked the black man frowned and tried to walk to the window... However, it was not until he walked away from the workbench that it was clearly seen that there was a rope tied to his feet that was thicker than a coffee cup.

One end of the rope was connected to his workbench, and the other end was tied to the iron hoop on his ankle.

"It seems that a battle has taken place... I saw some orc warriors."

A young man standing by the window said.

"Opportunity! This is our opportunity! Run away!?" The strong man's eyes lit up, "Anyway, these tributes are gone, and we can't survive... Take this opportunity to run away quickly?"

"Tsk! It's easy to say, why don't you untie the shackles?" The black man who was sprayed by the strong man before mocked.

"..."

The strong man stopped talking, because he had tried it before, but both the rope and the iron hoop were so strong that they were unimaginable. They were unarmed and had no way to untie these shackles.

Just when everyone was silent in the face of the pressure of being killed and eaten, a raven landed on the window and looked at everyone curiously with its dark eyes.

"Huh? A bird!"

The young man by the window exclaimed.

"It's so big and fat... Catch it quickly! I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Even if I die, I must at least be a full ghost!"

Another person next to him shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the raven turned its head and stared at the man who was shouting "eat birds".

"Fuck, it seems to understand human language..."

"Could it be a goblin?"

"Impossible... Those orcs are more enthusiastic about goblins than us! It's impossible for goblins to appear in the orcs' territory."

"..."

The human slaves argued for a while and gradually stopped.

The raven seemed to be attracted by the noise outside and turned its head to check the situation outside.

The man who shouted "eat birds" before was ready to move, but just when he was about to pounce, the raven suddenly turned its head, flapped its wings and ejected a feather, which was directly inserted into the man's shoulder.

"Ah..."

The man fell with his head raised. It was obviously just a scratch, but he was shaking all over as if he had lost half his life and couldn't stand up.

And this raven was naturally Xiao Jian's clone. And that feather was obviously another use of the [Feather Arrow] feature.

At this time, Xiao Jian has 61 attack points, and the clone can inherit one-third of his attributes, so the clone has 20 attack points.

The [Feather Arrow] feature makes each feather produce one-tenth of the attack power, so after the layers of reduction, Xiao Jian's attack only has 2 attack points.

However, even so, for an ordinary human with only 3 health points, this attack directly took away most of his life.

After that seemingly random attack, the entire workshop suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at the ordinary-looking raven at the window with fear.

The raven's eyes swept among the crowd, and then asked: "Are you all from the 'Noah World'?"

Its voice sounded layer by layer, as if countless echoes overlapped together, making everyone who heard it feel slightly dizzy.

Xiao Jian was not pretending to be cool, but after all, these people did not speak Chinese... In the case of language barriers, this is the only way.

"Yes, Lord Crow God." The sturdy man suddenly bowed to the ground, "Can you save us? Great Lord Crow God? We are willing to become your believers, fight for you, and seize the power of the evil god for you!"

The direction the sturdy man pointed to was exactly where the temple was.

And the "evil god" he mentioned was of course the "Shao Ke Li Xiao" enshrined in the temple.

"Oh?"

The raven looked at the sturdy man with interest, "Why do you think I need believers? And why do you think I want to seize its power?"

"..."

As soon as this question came out, the sturdy man who bowed to the ground was confused.

"Uh...I think that's what the evil god did...isn't it?"
