Chapter 412: Prelude to War This grayish-white orc with an extremely tall body is called Asog, and he is not a pure orc, but a half-orc, and he is also the leader of the half-orcs.
However, compared to the identity of the half-orc leader, Asog is more known for his other identity, he is the herald of the evil wizard Saruman, the commander of the whole army in the evil camp.
Well, the position of the herald is not high, but if you add the big man Saruman, it will be completely different.
As for the purpose of Asog's visit to Smaug?
In fact, the war is about to begin.
Speaking of the battlefield, most people have the impression that it is quite cruel, but in reality the war is not as terrible as imagined.
At least not so scary in Smaug's eyes.
From the day this era began, the whole of Middle-earth has entered a state of war, from the first demon king and pope, to the current war that has spread throughout Middle-earth.
Half a year ago, the day Smaug reluctantly joined the evil camp, war was as common as a common thing for Smaug, and at its most frequent, he had to fight seven or eight times a month, which was even more diligent than his aunt.
In Smaug's mouth, ordinary wars are not as cruel as Ye Qingshan imagined, what is really cruel is a large-scale war, a war that both good and evil pour out.
In a war at that level, not only the three commanders need to participate in the war, but even Saruman, the commander of the whole army, needs to appear on the battlefield, and even the demon king and the pope who have been sitting in the rear will appear.
As for the war at hand?
It was just an ordinary small-scale war, and the total number of people involved was only two or three hundred thousand.
And the war is really not as complicated as imagined, in this era that has entered the world of high martial arts, in a war can really determine the direction of the war, in fact, it is the commander of the level of Smaug.
As for those Middle-earth masters with similar strength to Ye Qingshan?
They can only play an auxiliary role, and as for the lower-level ones, that is, the guys who have not reached the level of the big demon, they are all dispensable cannon fodder.
As for the stratagem?
In the face of absolute power, all schemes pale in comparison.
As for why Ye Qingshan knew this?
Mainly because of the next war, Ye Qingshan will also participate.
First of all, no one forced Ye Qingshan to participate in this war, although Ye Qingshan was brought by the giant dragon Smaug, but Ye Qingshan did not join the evil camp in the real sense, and as a demon clan in the East, Ye Qingshan had immunity and could not participate in any war in Middle-earth.
The reason why Ye Qingshan decided to participate in the war was not because Ye Qingshan was thirsty for killing, but since the world entered the era of high martial arts, Ye Qingshan had never experienced war, nor had he experienced any high-intensity battles.
In Ye Qingshan's view, it is not possible to blindly work behind closed doors, if you want to be strong in the real sense, in addition to having strong power, you also need to have strong skills.
So knowing that the war was about to begin, Ye Qingshan did not hesitate to find Smaug.
Originally, Smaug was ready to reject Ye Qingshan, Ye Qingshan was his friend, not a strong man he captured, the reason why he brought Ye Qingshan to the evil camp was because if Ye Qingshan wanted to return to his homeland in the east, he had to cross the Kunlun Divine Mountain, and the purpose of coming to the battlefield was just because he wanted to understand some of the situation of the Kunlun Divine Mountain.
But after thinking about it carefully, Smaug did not refuse Ye Qingshan in the end.
In Smaug's view, there are processes that must be experienced.
Smaug knew very well that this friend of his was different from himself, his pursuit was very small, he spent every day eating and waiting for death, and his desire for power was not very strong, if it weren't for the fact that he knew Gusmer, the king of the fire demons, if it weren't for the fact that he was forced to get involved in this battle between good and evil in Middle-earth, Smaug would still be eating and waiting for death in the dragon's lair at this moment.
But Ye Qingshan is different, Smaug doesn't know what Ye Qingshan's pursuit is, but Smaug knows that this friend of his own, one of the goals is to climb over Kunlun Divine Mountain.
It was very difficult, even the most powerful demon king and pope in Middle-earth, neither of them was sure that they could climb that sacred mountain, otherwise it would not be an internal fight, but an expansion to the outside world.
Therefore, in Smaug's opinion, taking Ye Qingshan to experience the war is not a good thing for Ye Qingshan, at least it can make Ye Qingshan understand his own shortcomings and see how far away he is from the goal.
Besides, this war is not dangerous, according to his own strength, even if the war is lost, he can escape safely with Ye Qingshan.
So after a brief negotiation, Smaug agreed to Ye Qingshan's request.
And so, in the early morning of the next day, the loud war horn sounded, Smaug flapped his huge dragon wings, his huge body soared into the sky, and the scorching breath like a volcanic eruption enveloped the earth, and on Smaug's broad back, no one saw a white bear with a body length of nine meters lying on it like that.
And beneath Smaug's huge figure soaring into the sky were a hundred thousand soldiers of the evil camp lined up in a phalanx.
They have orcs, humans, dwarves, elves, vampires and werewolves and other warriors of various races in Middle-earth, but at the moment they have only one name, and that is a soldier of the evil camp.
They were uniformly dressed in black armor, like soulless puppets, and marched towards the blood-colored plain in front of them.
On the other side of the Scarlet Plains, Dumbledore, dressed in gray magic robes, with a long white beard and holding a one-handed magic wand in his hand, was staring at the dark clouds floating in the distance, looking at the 100,000 soldiers behind him, but wearing bright silver armor.
He is also Dumbledore, the head of a wizarding school, powerful, righteous, with a compassionate and loving heart, and one of the three commanders of the Justice League.
Unlike Smaug's indifferent and even indifferent attitude, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a faint sadness, and every time a war began, the head of the school of magic and wizardry couldn't help but think about how many people would come down from the battlefield alive after this war was over, and how many would remain on that battlefield forever.
Dumbledore didn't like it, as a teaching and nurturing house headmaster, he hated war very much, but he couldn't help it, this was Middle-earth, a restless world shrouded in war.
Dumbledore raised the staff in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted in an extremely tragic voice: "All for justice, follow me, kill!"
” With Dumbledore's shout, the 100,000 warriors behind Dumbledore invariably flashed a frenzy in their eyes: "For justice!"
Kill!
”
