MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 627 - 115 Dreaming of the Ancient Past (VII)

The Nansha Great Forest was very far from the village where Lu Hong lived. Fortunately, Hai Ge knew the way. After discussing with the Clan Leader, they decided to travel light, bringing only a dozen warriors to ensure the transportation of weapons.

At the crack of dawn, Lu Hong set out with Hai Ge and the team. Beisha wanted to follow, but was persuaded to stay behind. With Beisha there, she could monitor the orcs’ movements at any time. If there was any chance of the village being discovered, Beisha could promptly inform the Clan Leader for early preparations for battle or retreat.

"This journey to Nansha is extremely remote; we expect it to take several months," Hai Ge began to describe the route to Lu Hong as they embarked on their journey.

They would first pass Beixing Mountain, go through Viscount Le Leng’s territory, then restock at a Human Race village, and afterward slip into Viscount Sis’s domain. Finally, they would pass through Bowang Mountain and reach the Nansha Great Forest.

The most perilous part was the Bowang Mountain area because it was under the control of an orc Earl. This orc Earl commanded hundreds of thousands of elite troops, including top-tier warriors who held a kill-on-sight attitude towards the Human Race. If captured, humans were directly eaten alive, also serving as an important barrier to prevent more humans from entering the Nansha Great Forest.

Luckily, Hai Ge knew a hidden path to avoid the orc Earl’s outposts and enter Nansha safely.

Lu Hong and the others rested during the day and moved at night, reaching Beixing Mountain after half a month.

But upon scouting, they found that Beixing Mountain had been tightly blockaded by orc armies, making it impassable.

"This shouldn’t be." Beixing Mountain had always been a contested area between Akes and Le Leng, with neither having the authority to station troops there. If one party seized Beixing Mountain, it would surely face a fierce attack from the other.

Seeing the mountain filled with orc soldiers, Hai Ge hurriedly pulled Lu Hong back.

Seeing the other’s grave expression, Lu Hong asked, "What did you discover?"

"Those soldiers don’t belong to either Akes or Le Leng," Hai Ge said solemnly. "They are from the orc central authority; they are elite troops!"

"Does this mean an important figure from the Beast Tribe has come to Beixing Mountain?" Lu Hong wondered aloud. "Before I escaped from Akes Mansion, I saw an orc named Leicester. Do you know him?"

"Leicester?!" Hai Ge was taken aback. "Is it really him?"

"Have you heard of him?"

"Yes." Hai Ge nodded. "He is the most famous cannibal expert of the Beast Tribe and also the third son of the Beast Tribe’s second Heavenly God, the Tiger Roar God. He has extraordinary strength and once dominated the Hundred Tribes Conference, becoming quite famous."

Hearing Hai Ge’s description, Lu Hong looked at him strangely. "How do you know so much in detail?"

Hai Ge chuckled. "Young Clan Leader, as you know, I am not a native of this place but an outsider, so it’s normal for me to know some intelligence."

"Oh." Lu Hong nodded, not intending to blame him. On the contrary, the more Hai Ge knew, the more it would be helpful to him.

"We can’t get through Beixing Mountain. For now, we can only wait until they leave so that we can pass."

"What about taking a detour?"

"No," Hai Ge said gravely. "There are countless powerful Demon Beasts near Beixing Mountain. This is the safest route; if we take a detour, we might all end up as meals for the Demon Beasts."

Lu Hong and the others retreated into the forest while a fierce dispute erupted on Beixing Mountain.

Akes naturally wasn’t willing to give up Beixing Mountain, and Le Leng equally valued this land highly. The two Viscounts quarreled in front of Leicester, neither yielding.

As for Leicester, he had no intention of intervening, watching the drama unfold, making it clear that whoever argued successfully would own Beixing Mountain.

"Le Leng, your Le family is declining year by year, unlike my Akes family!"

"Heh heh! I say, Akes, could you speak with some intelligence? How many times have you dispatched troops to Beixing Mountain? Don’t you know? How often have you been forced to retreat, fleeing in disarray after encounters with my Le family?"

"That was because I was giving you face, considering that Viscount Le is getting old; as an old neighbor, I must exercise some respect for the elderly."

"Alright, if you respect the elderly, then bow a few times to show me your filial piety."

"Courting death!" Akes slammed the table in anger, pointing at Le Leng and scolding, "Old thing, Beixing Mountain will surely belong to my Akes family. If you want to snatch it, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Go ahead and try!" Le Leng lowered his eyes without even glancing at Akes, not taking his threats seriously.

At this point, Leicester lightly tapped the table, drawing the two Viscounts’ attention.

"Gentlemen, Beixing Mountain was a territory granted to me by my father. However, due to the distance from the central area, I’ve been unable to manage it effectively, leading to numerous humans smuggling through this place into Nansha over the years. This has angered my father, prompting him to send me here to resolve this issue. I can give Beixing Mountain to either of you, but you must agree to one condition. If you can’t manage it, don’t agree to it, or you’ll have to blame me for being heartless when your family gets wiped out."

Leicester’s words sent a chill down both men’s spines. Extermination of a family, damn, that was ruthless.

"Master Lei, just say it. The Akes family will surely fulfill the mission you assign to us." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Akes’ flattery made Le Leng internally sneer. Such words shouldn’t be spoken lightly. At this moment, Le Leng already considered withdrawing; while acquiring Beixing Mountain from Leicester would strengthen his family, the disaster of extermination that a small mistake might cause was something Le Leng couldn’t afford to bear.

"Alright." The compliment pleased Leicester immensely, and he smiled. "The condition is simple. My father intends to clean up Nansha, so from now on, no humans are allowed to pass through Beixing Mountain to enter Nansha. Also, if any humans try to escape from Nansha to Beixing Mountain, you must help my father intercept them, not letting a single one escape!"

Leicester’s request plunged Le Leng and Akes into silence. Intercepting humans entering Nansha through Beixing Mountain wasn’t hard, but preventing humans from escaping Nansha, well, that would be challenging.

Nansha was a sanctuary for the Human Race, housing many powerful humans with extraordinary abilities. They weren’t weak and could easily annihilate viscount families like those of Akes and Le Leng.

After careful consideration, Le Leng decided to give up the fight for Beixing Mountain and made a gesture of respect toward Leicester. "Master Leicester, the Le family has too few talents to undertake this task. I’m afraid only Viscount Akes nearby has the strength to manage Beixing firmly."

Well, Le Leng, seeing he wasn’t up to the task, immediately passed the burden onto Akes.

Akes glared at him, then respectfully cupped his hands toward Leicester, taking a deep breath. "Lord Leicester, Akes shall not fail in this mission and shall guard this mountain for the Tiger Roar God, not letting a single human escape!"

"Yes, I can see your determination, Viscount Akes. So, I officially hand over Beixing Mountain to you. I hope you won’t let me down." Leicester raised his hand and accepted the document handed over by his subordinate. After a simple signing and seal, Beixing Mountain was formally integrated into the Akes family’s territory under the protection of the orc empire.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Facing Viscount Le Leng’s congratulations, Akes felt no joy. Having always wanted to bring Beixing Mountain under the Akes family’s control to fulfill the longstanding wish of previous Viscounts, Akes found no happiness in this, feeling rather anxious. The cost was too high; the Akes family now risked annihilation at any time, a simple finger movement away for Leicester.

"Akes, I leave Beixing Mountain in your hands. I have military duties, so you must guard Beixing Mountain for me!" Leicester patted his shoulder before departing with his men down the mountain.

Le Leng stepped forward, approaching Akes, and spoke, "Gambling on the fate of the family, Viscount Akes, you truly have great spirit. I, Le, admire you!"

Disregarding Le Leng’s taunting, Akes tightly clenched the document in his hand, as if it were a heavy burden.

From this moment on, Beixing Mountain had become part of the Akes family’s territory. Akes turned to Le Leng and said, "Viscount Le Leng, now that Beixing Mountain belongs to the Akes family, please leave immediately. Don’t delay our defense arrangements to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

"Alright, alright, I’m leaving now." Le Leng smirked coldly before turning and leaving.
