Imperial Crown.

Chapter 477 Taking advantage of the situation
"Stupid guy!"

"idiot!"

An angry roar rang out from a large tent 400 kilometers away!

"Broken Tooth! Take a good look at what your good son has done!" Silver Mane glanced at Broken Tooth with dissatisfaction, "He is simply helping Raven to play tricks on us!"

If they didn't have to rely on the other party to encircle and suppress Raven, Silver Mane would now want to eliminate the biggest threat to their tiger tribe.

After being fooled by Raven for nearly two months, even the calmest orcs were almost driven crazy.

This damn little bee is as slippery as a loach!

I can’t catch it! I can’t catch it at all!
Isn't he a famous warrior of the human race? Isn't he carrying the orders of Emperor Keynes? Why is he always on the run? He has no intention of fighting them at all!

Even if Silver Mane was slow to react, he had figured out Raven's tactics by now. This guy had no intention of fighting with them at all. Sometimes Silver Mane thought that even if the four tribes returned to their own territories, Raven would not have any contact with them.

What on earth is this guy thinking?
Silver Mane was extremely upset.

"giggle"

Igne smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Lord Silvermane, calm down. I think Chief Brokenfang's son Jingge is just eager to make a contribution! The reason why we were fooled by Raven for two months was simply because it took time for our four tribes to gather their armies. Now the goblins were ambushed by Raven and lost their logistics, so they were unable to gather with us as promised. But Jingge also found out the strength of Raven's army for us. Now it seems that with the military strength of our three tribes, we are enough to defeat Raven!"

When the patriarchs of the four tribes discussed tactics before, only the patriarchs of the four tribes went to the castle of the Blood Roar Tribe, but the main army remained in their own territory.

Today is exactly two months since Raven entered the Orc Empire, and the armies of the three tribes have finally completed their assembly.

"But..." Igni suddenly paused.

Broken Tooth's curiosity was aroused subconsciously, and he asked, "Just what?"

Igni glanced at him, then at Silvermane with his arms crossed over his chest. "But we have to be careful of that fellow Chuchulinga! He is worse than Raven! I heard that he used the [Magnubiye Sacrifice]! We have been dealing with him for so many years, but we never knew that he also mastered this ancient sacrifice! If it weren't for Raven, we would still be kept in the dark by him. From this point of view, Raven has helped us a little. This fellow Chuchulinga concealed his strength. In my opinion, he is at least a third-level shaman, or even a fourth-level one! Lord Silvermane, why do you think he has been deliberately concealing his strength for so many years?"

Igne's tone was slow, pleasant to the ear and seductive at the same time. Although she didn't say everything clearly, the meaning was obvious.

"laugh"

Broken Tooth sneered disdainfully, "With just him, does he think he can turn the world upside down?" Broken Tooth picked his nostrils, and a booger as thick as a knuckle popped out, "Pinching him to death is as easy as picking a nostril."

The disgust in Igni's eyes flashed away, and Silvermane beside her suddenly laughed, "You did remind me."

Silvermane clenched his fists, and his palms made a "crackling" sound like frying beans. "Since Raven doesn't want to fight with us, why don't we give him his wish and do him a favor?"

"If we set out now, how long will it take to cross the Tallin River?" Silver Mane asked Broken Tooth.

Broken Tooth thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take 15 days, or 10 days if it's fast!"

“No.” Silvermane shook his head slowly, his tone filled with murderous intent. “Slow down! Slower! We have to take a detour from here to the Adventurer’s Forest, and then chase after Raven from the direction of the Tallin River above.”

"I want to give this little bee enough time to prepare for its escape."

The original name of the Adventurer's Forest was not this, but was called [Misty Forest]. Later, because a large number of human adventurers hid in it, it was called the Adventurer's Forest!
"At the same time, notify Jiji Linga and ask him to cross the Tallin River to meet us within half a month to encircle and suppress Raven!" Silver Mane said to Igni.

Igni was puzzled. Born in the Gray Feather Clan, she should have had gray feathers like other eaglemen, but Igni used magic plants to dye herself into colorful colors. She looked really dazzling and beautiful. At this time, she said carefully: "I am not questioning your decision, sir, but I am a little confused. Before the battle with Raven, Chirpinga was a little hypocritical. Now that his logistics have been attacked, he has used the excuse that he is injured and needs to rest for three months. Isn't it too optimistic to ask him to march quickly and gather with us to encircle and suppress Raven?"

Silvermane's face was terribly gloomy. "I gave this order because I knew he wouldn't move. Otherwise, why do you think I wasted time taking a detour and driving Raven down here?"

"Why?" Broken Tooth asked subconsciously.

Igni suddenly understood, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, "I see, haha, Lord Silvermane is really cunning! I'll send someone to contact Jiujiulinga right away!"

Silver Mane was flattered, and a smile finally appeared on his depressed tiger face, and he felt very happy.

……

Lei Wenlong was chased inside.

"It hurts"

Raven grimaced in pain and begged for mercy: "Madam Priest, I was wrong. I will never talk nonsense again!"

"The four rules of marriage! They are not allowed to meet!" After Hoyaz walked away, Lak grabbed Raven's ear and said rudely, his tone full of sarcasm.

Raven's ears were pinched so hard that they hurt. He realized that the always sweet and lovely Lux was really angry. After all, she still hadn't settled the score with Raven for what happened that year. She smiled and said, "It was just a joke."

"I don't think that's a joke! Instead, it sounds like what you really think!" Lux let go of her hand and snorted.

"ah!"

The next moment, Lux let out a scream unexpectedly and was held in Lei Wenqiang's arms, with his big hands also becoming dishonest.

"Raven! Let me go! I'm really angry!" Lux said hurriedly.

"Ha ha"

Raven laughed, but his hands did not stop moving. "Sicoret, you are such a single cat, how can you be so tactless? Don't you know to put down the curtain?"

Sikoret licked his paw pads, his face full of helplessness and disdain. "Raven, can't you two do something serious every day? Besides, is there any need to draw the curtain? Every time I go out, I don't even have time to cover my shit, and you're done. Go ahead, no one will be able to get close to here before it's over."

"..."

"What do you know? I just want to look more like an old man now!" Raven retorted bluntly. As the curtain was lowered, Lux struggled desperately, but how could she beat a bee in heat? The dragon chariot began to shake slightly.

"Report——"

A wind king suddenly appeared near the dragon chariot. Lennon rushed in anxiously and shouted through the curtain: "Father, the orc army has really started moving!"

However, a breathy voice was heard from behind the curtain, "Is it coming towards us? Let Thor and the others hurry up and build the ship."

Lennon felt a strong sense of heartache and shame. Has his father become so old? He even gasps for breath when he speaks! And the last time they fought the Eagles, their Wind King troops were defeated again! They are so ashamed of their father's trust in them!
"No!" Lennon hurriedly explained in detail, "The large force led by Silver Mane is not coming in our direction, but moving upwards. Judging from the movements of their scouts, their destination seems to be the Misty Forest! Or maybe the Colorful City... I'm not sure, but it feels very strange, so I hurried back to report to you."

"what?!"

Raven's surprised voice was heard from behind the curtain, and then he began to breathe heavily again, "Okay, I get it. Go down, keep a close eye on the other party's movements, and call Doug for me."

"Yes! Father!"

Lennon saluted and walked outside, but after thinking for a moment he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Father, take care of yourself!"

"I know. I'm working hard on myself." Raven said vaguely.

A few minutes later, Doug, who was jogging over, saw Raven, who was dressed neatly and waiting for him.

"My Lord Count."

After being in the army for so long, Doug has regained his human appearance, but he still looks skinny. After shaving his beard, he looks younger compared to the now aging Raven.

Raven waved his hand, motioning Doug to sit down, and took out an unopened bottle of Angel's Tears from the storage ring and handed it to him. These actions made Doug flattered. He shrank back, with a look of panic on his face.

"Do not be afraid."

Raven smiled. "I just want you to help contact your hometown. I will agree to any of their conditions, but I hope your church can also do me a small favor. And you have to keep this a secret, just like I don't know about it, and everything is your private observation and contact."

"Contact the Hand of Death?" Doug didn't say anything. He was secretly thinking about Raven's purpose in his heart. However, he couldn't help it. He took the Angel's Tears on the table, bit off the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank it. After drinking more than half of the bottle, he burped with satisfaction. The expression on his face was as if he was deeply intoxicated by drinking nectar. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "My Lord Earl, if I remember correctly, the last time I helped you contact the Sanctuary of the Netherworld, your negotiations seemed to have broken down? I think you should know without me saying it, that I am not a high-ranking figure in the Holy Church! I'm just an insignificant chess piece! Now I have been detained by you for so long, and I have long lost the trust of the Holy Church! I'm afraid they won't believe what I say! Unless..."

"Unless I can show some sincerity first, right?" Raven took over the conversation.

Doug nodded. It was a real pleasure to talk to smart people. "For example, the angel army of the Illuminati Cult! They only know how to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day. They are useless. Especially that woman named Savanna! She even dared to openly question your decision and thought you were too servile to the orcs!"

Raven sneered after hearing this, "Doug, you are very smart, but sometimes... being too smart can backfire! You don't think I don't know how many times Savannah has tried to kill you, do you? Why do you think you are still alive?" Raven spun his wine glass and said in a neutral tone, "You are still alive because they have their uses, and you have your uses."

"You have no right to negotiate with me! Because you don't have any cards in your hand!"

"If you do a good job on this matter and the Death Hand is willing to help me attack the orcs, I can consider setting you free. If you can't do it, then you have to consider your own safety."

Raven was too lazy to waste words with this guy and waved his hand, "Go down and think about it carefully."

"Lord Raven, as an earl and noble, you must keep your word!"

After hearing the last sentence, Doug seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and spoke with excitement in his tone.

Mark, who had been imprisoned with him for several years, has regained his freedom. This is the belief that has sustained Doug until now. He always felt that one day he would also be free. Unexpectedly, this day would come sooner than he expected.

"Of course," Raven nodded. "For a person as elegant and kind as me, integrity is the most important thing! Because I know very well that a man without integrity cannot stand!"

After saying yes more than a dozen times, Doug left excitedly, and before leaving, he did not forget to take away the remaining half bottle of Angel's Tears.

God forbid, the water from the Tallinn River, although drinkable, has a fecal stench, like the first breath you take when you enter a stable.

Looking at Doug's departing back, Raven's eyes were deep.

After a long time, he asked, "Sikoret, is there any news from Ernada?"

The black cat Sikoret shook his head. "Nothing happened! I think she ran away! After all, you know that there is not even the golden tree saliva that can dissolve your blood curse in the Elf Empire, not to mention a small soul contract."

Hearing this, Raven let out a sigh of relief. There were simply too many things going on. Even though he had resolved a lot of the blood curses in his body and was no longer in danger of losing his life, the pressure was still so great that he had trouble sleeping every night.

Because the toxins in Lux's body are running out! She originally only had 5 years to live, but now, 2 years have passed, and next month will be the end of the year, which will be 3 years! In other words, Lux can only live for about 2 more years at most. How can Raven not be anxious?
It's just that Lux, either out of understanding or out of being open-minded... has never shown any concern in front of him.

"Time! Another half a year at most!"

Raven roared secretly in his heart, if Ernada still did not move after half a year, then Raven would no longer wait!
Moreover, it takes time for the second generation to grow up. He needs to let them grow up to be able to stand on their own and leave him to lead the Eagle Army to continue to survive in the Orc Empire!
This way, he can leave with peace of mind.

Taking out the map and spreading it on the table, Raven frowned and thought about something. His finger slowly slid across the map and finally slid towards the Misty Forest, which was the Adventurer's Forest mentioned by Silver Mane.

"So this is what you are planning."

"Ha ha"

"In that case, let this earl prepare a great gift for you!"

Raven quickly figured out Silvermane's plan.

Silver Mane wanted to "kill with a borrowed knife", and he also needed to "take advantage of the opponent's strategy"!
However, since Silver Mane has seen through his tricks and thoughts, Raven will not sit and wait for death. It is time to use all those back-up plans one by one.

A bold and crazy plan slowly took shape in Raven's mind.
