Chapter 1256 People’s Minds Are Different
"What? The Karkengard Slaughterer War Beast Group?!"
Kurt slapped his forehead, feeling that all the bullshit had come together.
There are many legends about beastmen in the empire. After all, they are different from ratmen. The villages that were attacked and the roars that often came out of the forest are the truth that cannot be concealed.
But in other words, the empire is also one of the accomplices of the beastmen. Corrupted by the energy of chaos, some children will become beastmen cubs with horns and legs walking on two feet when they are born.
The church has always emphasized that if such children are born, they must be killed on the spot, rather than holding a little pathetic parental compassion and throwing the children into the forest, and turning them into monsters of human remains.
Although there is no specific research data, according to some gossip, these beastmen cubs born by humans are much smarter than those twisted by beasts and cubs born by female beasts, and can initially understand complex concepts.
As for the minotaur... there is still no accurate conclusion about its birth experience and origin, after all, no one has ever seen a female minotaur.
Regardless of the premise, the Karkengard Slayer Warband is different from those weak and cunning compatriots. They are a few beastman warbands that are capable and dare to attack large human gatherings.
According to the information known to Kurt, the origin of the Karkengard Slayer Warband is a doomsday bull.
There is a well-known story circulating in the towns around the Shadow Forest, the protagonist is a minotaur named Bloodhorn Lagush.
This special doomsday bull is extremely strong, even among its kind. It is a complete behemoth, so Lagush gradually became a living legend among local humans and beasts.
Lagush's cruelty and barbarity are known to everyone, and his most heinous behavior is the crime committed in the town of Karkengard.
The Doomsday Bull has gathered a powerful herd of screaming beasts, including hundreds of minotaurs, each of which is equipped with a pair of serrated knives. On a night of high bloodiness, the beasts invaded the city, burned down all the buildings in sight, and slaughtered the fleeing defenders.
The abundance of corpses and remains made it impossible for Lagush and his kind to clean up all in one night. After enjoying the feast, the Doomsday Bull ordered his subordinates to hang the uneaten remains upside down on tree branches, rock peaks and building ruins, which served as a bloody monument to prove the Doomsday Bull's strength and a "meat depot" for Lagush and his followers.
They could return to Kakengard at any time along the bloody aroma to feast on human flesh. Since that day, the ruins and the land around the city have been called Kakengard Meat Depot. It is said that some of the "meat" hanging between the branches has not yet completely died.
"The Doomsday Bull Bloodhorn Lagush...Mosrib's son Moonclaw, things are getting more and more interesting." Imrick moved the report away from his crossed legs. This time, he really couldn't stand by and watch. Moonclaw was at best a beastman freak with strong appeal and infectiousness. Killing him in a short period of time would not cause much trouble.
But the appearance of the Doomsday Bull seemed to have turned things around, but it was a change for the worse.
"North, how many people are we hiding in Uberrick?"
North pondered for a while. This was a confidential matter of the royal court. His Majesty seemed to be playing a big game, sending some very sensitive weapons and armaments to Rick Territory through many channels.
"There aren't that many of them. They are all disguised as craftsmen and artists. If we order them to fight this time, we will expose their identities to the Empire."
"That's a real headache." Sighing, Imrick did not consider letting the guards confront the Minotaur's charge head-on. Only a fool would think of using flesh and blood protected only by steel to face hundreds of bulls with bodies over five meters long and muscles as strong as iron.
Although the result will definitely be the victory of the Phoenix King's Guard, it seems unnecessary... Beastmen don't have brains, but that doesn't mean the elves don't.
"Transfer a machine gun weapon group from Qingyan Port. I want to see whether the heads of these beasts are harder or the bullets of Caledor are harder."
"Your Majesty, the machine gun weapon group is still in the testing stage."
"There is nothing to test. I gave them the best technical support. The barrels that heated up too quickly used the forging craftsmanship of Dragon Armor. I provided a piece of brass mine at all costs just to produce bullets that meet the standards.
Tell Bronte... I forgot who the technical director is now. If this acceptance is ineffective, I will find a few professionals from Nuln to replace him as before."
"Your will."
North hurried to report to Tegris. Teddy is the only wizard who can perform cross-sea teleportation. If you want your majesty's baby to arrive in the empire safely, you must consider it carefully.
And Tegris just nodded indifferently, without asking any questions about the beastmen, and seemed to pay no attention to the matter.
Although North was somewhat puzzled, he did not ask much. Judging from his position, the Supreme Archmage was the magic advisor of the royal court, which was the highest-ranking person among the court officials. A small herald would not dare to offend him.
After North left, Teclis turned his attention to the south. He did not care much about the situation in Karak Dreadnought, and believed that with the abilities of Karl, Thorgrin and Imrik, they could easily deal with the green-skinned orcs coming and going.
Or just one side could crush the noisy waaagh of the greenskins. This war in Karak Dreadnought was just an opportunity for the three parties to increase mutual trust.
What really concerned him was the situation in Bretonnia. The Shadow Sin had come again. It had been a hundred years since he was expelled by Alaros.
After a long period of governance, Athel Loren had adapted to the situation without Orion and Ariel, and returned to the distant cycle of life...
But this also meant that the Shadow Sin, which was bound to Athel Loren from another level, had also returned to normal.
If Athel Loren was a natural and normal reproduction, the alternation between life and death, the Morgul represented the disorder of chaos.
Teclis's thoughts were not on the Beastmen. He had never thought that the Beastmen were a real threat. Their lack of brains, low manufacturing power, and lack of strategic vision made the Beast Warband lack actual threat.
His eyes were always on the goddess. Even if he had abandoned her, the remaining traces would always remind Teclis who allowed him to glimpse the outline of the magic gate and who provided help when he was weakest and helpless.
And who made him bear the undeserved stigma when he should have enjoyed the fruits of the battle... Who paid attention to his closest flesh and blood brother.
