Chapter 349: Meeting the Duke of the North Again

The Duke of the North held a simple farewell ceremony for the old guy in the Mage Tower.

Although the ceremony was simple, the Duke came in person.

The Knight King also came.

Of course, the elven magicians who fought side by side with the old guy also came.

Unlike the sadness of humans facing death, the elves were all smiling when facing their companions returning to the forest goddess.

This led to many people with hippie smiles at the funeral.

They spoke briskly and laughed unscrupulously at the farewell ceremony.

Ethan felt very uncomfortable about this, but he also respected other people's customs.

After the ceremony, the old guy's body was sent back to the elves' hometown by the middle-aged woman.

According to the customs of the elves, the old guy's body will be placed in the depths of the forest, allowing it to slowly decay and eventually nourish all living things.

Ethan stayed here for several days to send the old guy off for the last time.

Now that his wish has come true, it is time to leave.

Before leaving, he chatted with the Duke of the North for a few words and told him the news that the orcs were about to attack.

After hearing this, the Duke of the Northland's face changed.

"Sir Ethan, it's not that I don't believe you, but I still want to ask, where did you get the news from?"

Ethan told him about the orcs' sacrificial site, and then said: "Before the orcs' surprise attack last winter, I found that they were holding a sacrifice.

It's just that I didn't understand the meaning at that time, so I didn't tell you in advance.

Since I saw it again this time, I can understand that it should be the orcs' expedition ceremony."

The Duke of the Northland frowned when he heard this, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly asked: "Have you entered the orcs' territory? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

The Duke seemed to be concerned about his health, but he was actually asking where the camp was?

Because according to Ethan's words, as long as you can monitor there, you can know the movements of the orcs.

You know, because the Northland cannot enter the orcs' territory to explore the military situation, every time it waits for the orcs to come to the city, it will urgently dispatch troops for support.

And because the troops are too dispersed, they always respond hastily, resulting in surprise attacks every time, often resulting in serious losses, and even crises many times.

Once the orcs' movements are known in advance, troops can be mobilized and deployed in advance.

A prepared war and an unprepared response are often two different results for war.

For the defender, knowing the enemy's movements in advance can undoubtedly turn passive defense into active ambush.

Its significance is self-evident.

However, it is a pity that the place was destroyed.

It is estimated that the orcs will not hold a marching ceremony there in the future.

It was only when Ethan met the Duke of the North that he suddenly realized the importance of the place.

He regretted that he was reckless at the beginning and did not consider this point, and he killed those orcs.

Otherwise, relying on this information alone, he could have enough bargaining chips in the future negotiations with the Duke of the North on the joint issuance of currency.

At this time, the newly subdued two-headed snake Vol'jin hurriedly reported to Ethan: "Master, do you want to know the sacrificial site of the orcs' expedition?"

Hearing this, Ethan immediately felt that there was a chance again: "Do you know?"

"Yes, master!" Vol'jin replied: "In the past 50 years, I have not done nothing. I have explored the area within a thousand miles.

There are almost 20 orc sacrificial sites that I know of.

At first, I wanted to use my clone to attract the orcs to save me, but I didn't expect that not only were they not interested in saving me, but they also listed the cave as a restricted area and resolutely refused to allow the orcs to approach.

I stayed alone in that dark cave for more than 50 years.

I couldn't go in, and I couldn't retreat.

50 years! A full 50 years!

Master, do you know how I have been in these 50 years?"

When it comes to the sad part, Vol'jin used a crying voice.

Ethan was helpless. A big man with such a fierce look would cry at any time.

And he always goes off topic when talking.

But because he needed it, Ethan couldn't blame it, so he could only say: "Okay, okay, a real man sheds blood but not tears, stop crying.

Look, aren't you free now?"

Hearing this. Woking finally stopped crying: "Thanks to the master's kindness, I can regain my freedom."

Ethan didn't have time to give it psychological counseling all the time. Seeing that he stopped crying, he quickly turned to the main topic: "You said you knew there were twenty more strongholds?"

"Yes, master, but they are all in the deeper part of the orc territory. There are strange magic fluctuations there, and humans can't get close, so they may not be able to monitor them."

After hearing this, Ethan was not worried but happy, and asked: "Since you have explored it, does it mean that you can monitor there?"

"Of course, master! The essence of my clone is Magic power, and I have a special talent, I can adjust the frequency of the clone to be consistent with the magic power fluctuations there, not only is there no danger, but it is even easier to hide. "

Ethan was overjoyed, and then asked: "If you are thousands of miles away, can you still sense the information in the orc territory?"

"Of course, my clone is a part of my original body.

We are connected in mind and spirit, no matter what information, as long as there is a place where my clone is, I can receive it in the first time, completely unrestricted by space. "

Ethan was ecstatic, doesn't this mean that the movements of the orcs will be under his surveillance in the future?

With this, the Duke of the North can do whatever he wants?

Ethan immediately came up with a plan and said to the Duke of the North: "Not all places in the orc territory are dangerous. I discovered it by accident.

After I understood its important intelligence significance, I wanted to inform you to monitor it and track the movements of the orcs there so as to prepare for defense.

But by chance, I met an orc there..."

Speaking of this, Ethan dragged his voice because he didn't know the level of the orc before.

In the end, he had no choice but to say: "I had a fight with a very powerful orc magician, and accidentally destroyed the sacrificial site."

When the Duke heard this, his brows locked tighter.

Because what Ethan meant was that he had discovered that important intelligence point, but now it was destroyed, which meant that the intelligence point was gone.

And it was just so coincidental that it was destroyed as soon as it was discovered.

The reason was so ridiculous that he met an orc sage-level or higher magician, fought with him, and then destroyed the strategic intelligence point.

The Duke of the North smelled a strong conspiracy at that time.

However, he asked expressionlessly: "What are the characteristics of the orc mage?"

"Hmm..." Ethan thought for a moment and replied: "The orc has wrinkles all over his skin, and the moves he uses are black balls.

The black balls seem to be the product of the law of gravity.

Oh, by the way, he has two apostles, one..."

"Huh..."

Before Ethan finished speaking, the Duke's entourage and the elves present burst into exclamations at the same time...
