Chapter 380: The Shocking Change in Wangcheng (Second Update)
When Ning Yuan was plotting to seize the Barbarian Alliance, a series of major events also occurred in the territory of the Eaglehoof Empire.
On the twentieth day after the departure of the Praetorian Guard of the Royal City, a large number of orc bandits suddenly appeared in the area between Nong'an and the Royal City.
These robbers did all kinds of evil, and they ransacked orc villages, even more than Ning Yuan.
After three days, hundreds of thousands of refugees were added outside the royal city.
These refugees were mainly minotaurs, bears, and leopards, and when they told their stories, the whole royal city was furious.
The orcs, regardless of race, have asked the beastmasters to immediately send troops to suppress the bandits.
Faced with the anger of the crowd below, several beast kings had a fierce quarrel over whether to send troops immediately.
Now there are only 100,000 Praetorian Guards left in the royal city, and if the Praetorian Guards are sent out, then the royal city will have no soldiers to defend.
However, if you don't send the royal city guards and transfer troops from other places, it will take too long, and by the time the army arrives, I am afraid that the entire royal city area will be thousands of miles away.
Among the six Beastmasters of the Eaglehoof Empire, Wolf Roar and Pig Gang Gang opposed sending the only remaining Janissaries of the Royal City to suppress the bandits, hoping to bring troops over from other places.
In their opinion, their own people don't live in this area anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's a few days late, just take this opportunity to let others feel the pain of this kind of tribesmen being slaughtered on a large scale.
And the three beast kings who were experiencing this pain, Niu Houtu, Xiong Zhentian, and Leopard Storm, strongly demanded that the Imperial City Guard Legion be dispatched immediately.
Because if these robbers are allowed to do whatever they want, their foundations will be shaken.
The rest of the Beastmaster Eagle Shocking chose neutrality, he refused to express any opinion, and neither side supported it.
There were a total of six Beast Kings, three of whom were in favor of immediately dispatching the Praetorian Guards of the Royal City, two were against it, and one was neutral.
The five beast kings were arguing around this issue, and if it weren't for the eagle shocking on the side, they would almost have staged a full martial arts.
If the wolf roars and the pig does not agree, then the Praetorian Guard of the Royal City will not be able to dispatch.
Seeing that things were going to be yellow, news suddenly came from the front that some robbers had begun to march north.
Upon hearing this, Wolf Roar and Pig Gang finally stopped opposing the sending of troops, because if the robbers were allowed to move north, their people would be in danger.
In the end, the six Beastmasters unanimously passed the resolution to immediately dispatch the Praetorian Guards of the Royal City.
When the Praetorian Guards left the royal city, an army of 100,000 owls quietly left the reckless mountains and headed straight for the royal city.
While the Praetorian Guards of the Royal City were engaged in a battle with the player bandits, this army of owls took advantage of the darkness to silently surround the entire royal city.
The Owls have excellent night vision, and they are also masters of night combat.
After besieging the royal city, the Owl army entered from all directions, targeting the mansions of the other four Beastmasters.
Although the four beast kings still had a lot of guards around them, they were still unable to withstand the onslaught of the other party in the face of the overwhelming army of owls.
On this night, there were shouts of killing in the royal city, and countless werewolves, leopard people, bears and wild boar people spilled the blood of the royal city.
In order to prevent future troubles, Lin Xiao put all the orcs loyal to the four beast kings on the must-kill list, except for some ordinary orcs, all the descendants of the four beast kings were killed, and no one escaped.
However, there was always a mistake in Baimi, although Lin Xiao successfully killed the four beast kings and their cronies, he ignored the existence of some subordinate races.
A petite cat-man managed to escape from the royal city in the darkness of night.
After killing the four beast kings, Lin Xiao immediately sent a large number of messengers, and they rushed in all directions with Lin Xiao's secret order.
After the first decapitation plan was successful, the next step was to seize power.
Although Lin Xiao rebelled against a lot of generals in the army, these generals were basically depressed, and most of the real power of the army was still in the hands of the cronies of the four beast kings.
For these generals, Lin Xiao planned to give them a chance, as long as they were willing to be loyal to the remaining two emperors, then he would spare their lives.
It was not easy to persuade these generals to surrender, but Lin Xiao had his own clever plan to deal with them.
In last night's massacre, some of the orcs escaped, and they were all put under house arrest by Lin Xiao.
Most of these orcs are the immediate family members of those generals on the front line.
With these family members as hostages, and the four beast kings who had died in battle, Lin Xiao believed that they could only obediently choose to surrender in the end.
Of course, if there were some stubborn guys, then don't blame him for being ruthless, he would send them directly to Hades to meet their master.
In addition, the mission of the Heavenly Dao Society's team of player bandits must also end immediately.
After the four Beastmasters were killed, their mission was over.
If they are allowed to mess around like this again, I am afraid that it will really hurt the foundation of the Eaglehoof Empire.
Of course, they had killed so many orc civilians, and it was definitely not possible to just let them go.
The blood debt must be paid with blood, and if they are not eliminated, it will not be enough to quell the anger of the people within the empire, so they must all die in the Eaglehoof Empire.
200,000 orc swordsmen is not a small number, and even if they die, they must die worthwhile.
Lin Xiao had already secretly sent his orc players to inform them, asking them to engage in a head-on fight with the Praetorian Guards of the Royal City.
Recently, the Eagle Hoof Empire has been suffering from internal and external troubles, and the morale of both the army and civilians is very low, so Lin Xiao plans to use these player bandits to boost this low morale.
A victory may not solve all problems directly, but it can temporarily cover up some problems.
What the Eaglehoof Empire lacks most now is time.
With the biggest danger within the empire removed, everything is in ruins, and if they are given enough time to recuperate, they will be able to arm more armies.
With the invincible orc legion, coupled with the support of the Heavenly Dao Society, Lin Xiao was confident that he would completely defeat Ning Yuan's Condor Empire within ten years.
The only thing he was worried about now was that Ning Yuan would not give him this opportunity.
The current Eagle Hoof Empire is a strong outsider, and they urgently need to digest all the previous results.
Originally, they had the ability to launch another large-scale battle, but Ning Yuan's unexpected intrusion disrupted the entire plan.
The Songnen Plain was the main food producing area within the Eaglehoof Empire, and the slaughter and destruction of Ningyuan there caused them immeasurable losses.
The loss of population is still secondary, and what makes Lin Xiao feel most distressed is the herds that have been ruined by Ning Yuan's army.
If a herd wants to form a certain size, it will take time to accumulate slowly.
The orcs usually slaughter cattle and sheep selectively and planned, and they will try to avoid endangering the growth of the herd.
And Ning Yuan's abominable bandits were different.
They do not distinguish between male and female, no matter how big or small, as long as they can eat, they will not let go, even those newborn lambs, they have not escaped their clutches, all of them have been eaten into their stomachs.
After losing a large number of herds, there is likely to be a food crisis within the Hawkhoof Empire, so they can only turn to a strategic defensive state now.
It will take at least a few years to fully recover.
