Invincible Heroes - Hidden Architect

【January 12

I received Hudak's letter.

On the Death of the Elder Poet.

News of his death has spread among the troops he led, which has greatly damaged the confidence of my people in me. Many people have stopped working, and some have even fled into the wilderness with valuable resources.

I smiled bitterly.

I can imagine this scene without his letter, because even the troops I led had the same situation.

Contrary to my expectations, many barbarians ran away, but none of the goblins left.

When I asked them about it, they optimistically told me:

"Of course we will be afraid of the king of the barbarians, but so what? We know those mages better than the barbarians.

Even if we escape or betray you and go back to Bracada, there is only a fate worse than death waiting for us.

What we can do is to believe in you and continue to fight with you. There is no other way. "

The goblin's words made me enlightened.

Yes, depression and annoyance will not bring me any help. I have no other way but to continue fighting. 】

Yes, they are the fairies I am familiar with. Even in the most difficult moments, they always have hope for the future. They may seem silly and funny, but they are wise and foolish.

Unexpectedly, the goblin actually woke up the God of War Tanan when he was confused, which was quite interesting.

Qi Ge sighed inwardly and continued to read.

Soon, Qige discovered that in the subsequent diary, many dates and part of the writing were blurred, and some were missing, which made it very difficult for him to read.

The little lioness explained:

"Tanan's diary was torn up by himself and completed several times. This is the repaired copy that we put together after we obtained the diary."

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Qi Ge sighed helplessly and read on.

[Today, some strange barbarian troops entered my town and were willing to help my troops fight against Kerr.

They particularly hated the mage and described many things that Kerr did to the barbarian lands he ruled.

"Kurr despises barbarians more than any other wizard, though we don't know why. Whenever a crime arises, he doesn't investigate at all. He just throws the nearest barbarian into the dungeon, and no one can stop him in Kerr's case." How long can he survive in the dungeon, and his death is very miserable.

We have seen with our own eyes that he froze a barbarian's body, then used a small hammer to break the frozen parts bit by bit, and then restored the barbarian's pain, and took pleasure in doing so.

Living in Kerr's territory, we will die miserably at any time, so we are all willing to join you.

It is better to die in battle than to be tortured to death. "

As I listened to their descriptions of some of the violent tortures Kerr had used on the barbarians, I felt a chill running down my spine, knowing that I was dealing with the worst kind of wizard.

This makes me even more worried about the remaining bards. 】

[I was sitting with my subordinates enjoying dinner, and suddenly an older goblin said to me:

"My king, maybe you don't know yet, it will be helpful for you to visit the Wisdom Stone at least once.

Oh, not just you, every hero should check it out.

There is always something new to learn from the Wisdom Stone. "

This was the first time someone among the goblins proposed something to me, and I happily agreed.

Later I discovered that the old goblin often said in front of other barbarians that he was my counselor.

Although I didn't give him a clear appointment, I considered that at least this goblin was worth a look, so I didn't deny it. 】

[While passing by the mercenary camp, the old goblin who claimed to be my counselor gave me another suggestion.

"Whenever you encounter a mercenary camp, ask all your heroes to visit it," the old goblin said. "The training you get there can help you fight better in the future."

I didn't think there was anything good about visiting that dilapidated mercenary camp, but after I actually trained in the mercenary camp, I felt like my strength was really stronger?

Of course, it's also possible that the old goblin talked too much, causing me to have an illusion. 】

There are large parts of the diary missing after that, and only the page numbers in the corners prove that there is content in the middle of the diary.

Qi Ge flipped through several pages before finding a new section to read.

【March 3

The deadline is getting closer and closer, I must act as soon as possible to rescue the two remaining bards, no more people can be sacrificed.

The elder goblins have already sneaked into the city with some of the little goblins. The longer I delay, the more dangerous they become.

Damn it, those four barbarian tribes who are unwilling to join me, those four stubborn clan leaders.

This is a war between barbarians and wizards. No one can stay out of it, and no one can enjoy the fruits of our sacrifices with peace of mind.

Since they are afraid of death, then I will let them die first! 】

【March 5

I killed them cruelly and smashed their heads into pieces. The remaining tribesmen did not dare to raise any objections to me and knelt down in front of me.

I have proven my might, my army cheers me on, and no one dares to disobey me anymore.

Great, the army numbers are sufficient and it's time to launch a counterattack. 】

【March 9

Surprisingly, both bards were rescued!

Before our general attack had even begun, the elder goblin led three white-robed goblins and brought the bard in front of me.

I rarely saw sadness on the face of the elder goblin.

He told me that in order to rescue the two bards, among the more than 600 goblins who followed him into the city of Kerr, and among the thousands of goblins who cooperated with them in the city, only four of them survived, and the other goblins died. .

I should have been sad about the news, but when I saw the two bards returning safely, I felt a little sad, maybe because the sacrificed ones were not barbarians.

So I could only comfort him:

"Your sacrifice is valuable and I will never forget your sacrifice."

The elder goblin looked very frustrated: "I hope you can remember your promise. We goblins can no longer bear betrayal."

It's weird, he talks like I've betrayed him.

I, Tanan, betray my allies? How can it be. 】

"Elder goblins, a new goblin unit. And these white-robed goblins, are they the goblin pioneers?"

Qi Ge thought for a while and looked at the next paragraph with interest.

【Dry! Dry! Dry!

The stinky ogre's asshole, the bastard who should be stuffed into the crotch of the big-eared monster, the bastard who is worse than a shit orc!

I was extremely angry, extremely angry. Even when I was whipped, I had never been so angry.

I smashed all my tea sets, even the table and chairs, but I don't regret it at all.

Damn it Kerr, damn it, damn it!

I never would have imagined that Kerr was actually a descendant of [Barbarian King Jagger]. He was actually a descendant of the Jagger I admired the most!

After Jag's death, he and his two parents who had taken refuge in Brakada were taken to the capital of Brakada by the wizards.

When he was a child, he went to Bracada to study with the master.

He spurned his bloodline and did all he could to disassociate himself from it, so he endured the indignities of other apprentice wizards and became a wizard,

Now, more than sixty years later, he was sent by the wizard king Gavin to suppress our barbarian troops and let him rule our barbarians.

Once upon a time, the king who brought countless glory to the barbarians, his descendants actually became the wizard's dogs.

What I admire, what I believe in, is the most powerful barbarian Jagger.

His descendants actually turned their backs on the barbarians and instead helped the wizards to oppress us barbarians! !

No wonder wizards look down on barbarians. No wonder wizards think barbarians are inherently despicable.

Even the descendants of the greatest king are like this. How can we, barbarians born from civilians, hold our heads high in the eyes of those wizards?

My faith collapsed and my ideals were shattered.

The ancestor Jagger, who was so glorious in my heart, is now cast in a shadow, and even the blood of the barbarian in me is tainted.

Hahaha, hahaha!

That's it, that's it.

I asked why Kerr knew the tactics of our barbarians so well. I asked why Kerr had so many spells to restrain our barbarians.

I see.

I understand everything, I understand everything.

so be it.

Now that Jag's bloodline has been stained, he is not qualified to be the greatest barbarian king.

The [current king] will chop off the heads of the descendants of the [past king] and bury all the humiliation of the barbarians.

The elder goblin is right, if there is no history, create history.

Even if I turn the barbarians of the past into ruins, I will have no regrets.

Starting from me, new barbarians will be born anew in the history of old barbarians. 】

When Qi Ge saw this, a chill suddenly felt on his back.

At this time, young Tanan has gone astray and embarked on a paranoid path. This is a very dangerous state, and he will go astray if he is not careful.

…

[Yesterday, I yelled at the elder goblin and even pointed at his nose to tell him to get out of the tent, which made him very sad.

But now, I regret it very much.

After a night of deep thought, I found that the elder goblin was right.

Kerr is a master hero and has many troops. I am not his opponent yet.

If I fight him blindly, not only me, but all the elves and barbarians will die and turn into the same bones in that canyon.

I have to go comfort the elder goblin.

However, if I retreat now, where should I go to develop my troops?

Perhaps, I should ask Hardak, the two bards and the elder goblins. 】

…

[When my captains and I were arranging strategies on a large map drawn on the sand, my smartest counselor Hudak scratched his beard and said:

"I know that the big-eared monsters and the lizardmen of [The Mud Land] are fighting a civil war for control of the [Mud Land] - a civil war that is both evil and chaotic.

Now is a good time to attack, but be quick, my king.

Before their new ruler appears! "

This is a good idea. Conquering that mixed area of ​​​​Gobi and swamps can make my troops stronger and give me a place to retreat when the battle goes against me. 】

…

[Hadak brought back a woman.

Her name is Yara.

She walked into my tent, followed by a few sheep, but as soon as I saw her I knew she was not a shepherd.

The sword at her waist, the wariness with which she looked at everything. I'm pretty sure she's a warrior.

When she sold the sheep to my army, I made her sell them for a very high price.

Although I had never dealt with her directly, when she collected the money, our eyes met and she did not look away, nor did she seem to be intimidated by me.

She winked, smiled, and left without saying a word.

Oh, the woman I imagined the barbarian king Jagger would marry should look like this.

Arrogant, wild and independent.

I've heard bards say that barbarian women once fought side by side with men, lived and died together, and formed families against enemies who vastly outnumbered them.

But today, few women can hold a sword or dare to travel alone through these rugged lands.

I have to admit, Yara impressed me. 】

Qi Ge:......

Seeing this, Qi Ge raised his lips.

Ah, is Tanan in love? !

Yes, he is still so young, full of energy, and has a high status, so it is inevitable that he will meet a woman who makes his heart beat.

It’s not like the God of War Tanan defeated Buddha Tanan in a fight, so there’s no reason for him to be a bachelor, right? Tang Seng has encountered the king of the daughter country and several female fairies.

[Yara enters my camp again, this time she wants to sell information.

So I arranged to meet her alone in my tent.

She told me that the war in [The Quagmire Land] was very fierce, but it mainly took place between the three camps.

The witch Melanda, the lizard man Weistein, and finally the big-eared monster Yajin.

They are both formidable opponents, but luckily for now their hatred is turned towards each other.

The price for Yara's information was high, but at least I had a chance to talk to her.

When I asked her which tribe she belonged to, she frowned and her eyes turned cold.

"I don't belong to any tribe now," she said.

“Before you rebelled against the wizard, my tribe was rebelling against the wizard.

The men of our tribe died in the battle.

When the wizard settled his accounts, my mother, and most other mothers and girls besides me, were not spared.

Of the entire tribe, only me and a few women survived.

You know, if men lose the battle, we women will have a more miserable fate than you men. "

Hearing this, I felt a little anxious, so I hurriedly said to her:

"Join us! I have the support of all the tribes. Join my army and I will keep you and others safe.

I can also avenge your mother. "

“No other tribes helped us at that time, so I don’t ask for help from other tribes now!

For revenge, I will do my best to cooperate with you, but I will not become your subordinate. "

Yara left, her mood suddenly depressed.

I don't know why, but my mood is also low. 】

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what kind of war god is in love." Qi Ge was silent.

"If I publish an issue of [Tanan Love Diary], it should be very popular among players, right?

This is the youthful past of the protagonist of the world. "

…

[I found that every night when I was setting up camp, I was absent-minded, waiting and hoping that the beautiful barbarian woman Yara would appear.

She has been fighting wizards for longer than I have, and I feel that I have an indescribable connection with her - she seems to know me better than my friend Hardak.

She finally reappears, trying to sell some items stolen from Bracada.

So I invited her to have dinner with me.

Over dinner we talked about the night and my dream of restoring our nation's past glory.

"I want to empower our people so that one day every man, woman and child would rather die than hang their head in shame."

I flexed my muscles and emphasized to Yara:

"Especially men. Men would rather die fighting than watch women suffer and starve in the mines."

Yara answered me bitterly: "That's fine."

What does she mean? I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. 】

Qi Ge shook his head and pursed his lips.

He discovered that he was a little better than Tanan.

If Tanan had been replaced by him, the place where he was talking to Yala now should not be at the dining table, but on Yala's bed. Of course, it could also be in the bathtub after exhaustion.

[When I woke up this morning, Yara was gone. This time, she didn't give me a chance to ask her to stay.

Although I don't understand why she wants to fight alone, I still hope that she can trust me and be willing to fight alongside me.

I feel like, together, the two of us could accomplish a lot - maybe even destroy the entire Bracada Empire!

When I think of her, I feel infinitely powerful.

I know that allowing barbarians to gain dignity is no longer just my dream, it is the goal shared by Yara and I. 】

Qi Ge rubbed his eyebrows.

With his rich experience, he can conclude that Tanan's current state is called "first love puberty".

This state is common in boys or girls around 16 years old in junior high school.

Probably the expression is: "Ah, she glanced at me, she must like me. What a coincidence, I like her too."

"If I can be with her, the air will be sweet, and I will definitely be admitted to XX High School with her."

"I will name her and my child [Si X] in the future. X is her name, which represents my pure love for her. Haha, it sounds so nice."

…

"It's really torture for people my age to watch this."

Qi Ge sighed and decided to skip some content about Ya Ge.

In his opinion, this kind of content is not helpful to him.

…

["My King! My King!" The elder goblin shouted in my ear.

He has been acting crazy like this since I scolded him last time.

"Um, uh, what's wrong? Did something happen to the army?" I asked.

"I just made an amazing discovery!"

The elder goblin didn't answer me, he just said:

"I climbed up into a redwood tree, and my God, I could see so far. You know what? You can use this to your advantage to spy on your enemies!"

After saying that, he left like crazy.

Redwood trees? I looked around and easily spotted a hollow redwood tree opposite a cliff.

Is this considered high? I can't understand.

Perhaps to fairies, this redwood is considered high, but to me, it is better to find a hilltop than to climb that tree.

In my mind, I was both sick and guilty of the elder goblins.

He is always so startled and crazy, which affects my thinking and work.

But the reason for his madness was my previous roar, which made it impossible for me to blame him.

Forget it, bear with it. Whether it's out of guilt or gratitude, I should treat him well. 】

"Is the elder goblin crazy?" Seeing this, Qige was very surprised.

"Are goblins the kind of fragile creatures that go crazy when scolded? Impossible. There are no more optimistic creatures than them.

They can survive in such a harsh environment as the tower. "

Qi Ge vaguely felt something was wrong.

“Hollow redwood, from the description, it’s probably a redwood watchtower.

The mahogany watchtower is also the Elemental Babel Tower. If Tower Nan listens to the elder fairy's advice, he might be able to contact the four elemental monarchs in the Elemental Babel Tower.

Does the Elder Goblin know the truth about the Redwood Watchtower?

If he didn't know, why would he remind Tanan of this?

If he knew, why didn't he seriously remind Tanan?

Is he really crazy, or does he have a last resort? "

With deep doubts, Qige continued to look down.

[My most trusted advisor, Hardak, approached me with a solemn expression.

"Hadak, here we go again.

Why don't you ever tell me the good news? ” I joked.

"At least I'm not that old goblin who always talks about good news." Hudak replied.

After we had a knowing smile, Hardak said:

“King, after what happened with the gold coins rusting, we don’t have enough gold coins, we need more gold coins.

I suggest you go to the market and sell any extra resources - you know, sulfur or gems or whatever. You may not be able to sell it for a good price, but at least you can get gold coins. "

I said solemnly: "Resources are necessary for high-level troops and cannot be sold so easily. I will find another way to get gold coins.\
