Imperial Crown.

Chapter 478 That Ghost is Still in My House

"Boom"

A bottle of frozen Angel's Tears was brought to Jiujiu Linga. Jiujiu Linga took it, bumped the bottle cap with his pointed head, and the bottle cap loosened. He then flicked the bottle cap with his thumb and the bottle flew out.

Then he shook the Angel's Tears back and forth, and when the green wine inside was about to overflow, he quickly raised his head and put it into his mouth. Then his pointed head began to spin wildly, and the whole bottle of Angel's Tears was quickly drunk by him.

"Delicious! It's really delicious!"

Jiujiu Linga said with a lingering feeling.

The earth elf standing by felt a chill down his spine. Although he also liked Angel's Tears very much, the taste was not as unique as this one, because the Angel's Tears in Jiujiulinga's hand were celery flavored!

He wanted to vomit just by smelling it.

“What’s that expression?” Ever since Dululu died at the hands of the Eagle Army, this earth elf named “Crackling” has become one of Jiujiu Linga’s confidants. Seeing the undisguised disgust on Cracking’s face, Jiujiu Linga felt angry and helpless. “The celery-flavored Angel’s Tears are the most delicious in the entire series! Think about it, Raven is such a smart human noble! If the celery-flavored Angel’s Tears really don’t taste good, then why would he keep brewing it? It would be great if there could be a cilantro-flavored one!”

Jiabangcui said "oh", touched his butt, put it to his lips and sniffed it carefully, "It's nothing, tribe leader, I'll leave first."

"Let's go, let's go. By the way, call Pujiji for me later!" Jiujiu Linga licked the bottle of Angel's Tears again and said with a headache.

"Oh - Chief, you reminded me!" Gabangcui seemed to remember something, "Zori from the Eagle Tribe is here, and he said he has something important to report to you."

"Oh?" Jiujiu Linga's face changed slightly, "Which direction did he come from?"

Gabangcui scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Face my direction."

"Oh my god! You stupid guy! I asked him whether he came from the east or the west!" Jiujiulinga jumped up in anger. If he wasn't too short, he really wanted to give this guy a hard slap!

"I'm sorry, Chief, I can't tell the difference..." said Gabangcui honestly.

Jiujiulinga was so angry that he couldn't help rolling his eyes, touched his pointed head and asked: "Then did he come from the direction of the Tallin River?" He really couldn't understand why all the members of his family couldn't tell the difference between north and south!
"No," he shook his head crisply.

"Then I understand. Bring him to see me." Since he didn't come from the direction of the Tallin River, he must have been sent by Silver Mane. Jiujiu Linga felt that he needed to meet him. He still needed three months of rest and there was no need to make things too awkward with other races, especially the Blood Howl Clan.

Now is not the time to fall out.

When Jiujiulinga thought about what was going to happen, he felt the tip of his head ache a little. In fact, he could fully imagine what Silvermane would say. It would be nothing more than asking him to march as quickly as possible, encircle and suppress Raven, for the glory of the orcs... and some nonsense.

Did he not want to... Well, he did not want to before, but ever since the sacrificial ceremony was interrupted, although he had a backup plan to escape and revive again, he did have a three-month period of weakness.

At this moment, he was extremely weak. Not to mention facing the extraordinary, even an ordinary human soldier or orc would be enough to kill him with three punches!

This is not the false lies of the past!

Moreover, those hairless monkeys of the Eagle Army really burned up a lot of his logistical resources. Now it is simply impossible for him to fight against Raven. He is weak, and he has to be wary of more than just Raven.

At any time, Jiujiulinga would never put himself in danger, let alone risk his precious life for Silvermane's ambition and prestige. After all, among the four tribes, the goblins had actually fought with Raven and suffered the greatest losses, so they could explain it away both emotionally and rationally.

Soon, Zuo Rui was brought to Jiujiulinga, "Sir, Lord Silvermane asked me to tell you that the armies of the other three tribes have assembled and are rushing to where Raven is. He asked you to march quickly as well and gather on the other side of the Tallin River in half a month to encircle and suppress Raven together. Raven is currently being delayed by Lord Broken Tooth's son Jing Ge. In a bloody battle yesterday, more than 10,000 Raven soldiers were killed!"

Jiujiulinga sneered, then took out three bottles of Angel's Tears and a bag of gold coins. It looked like there were at least 3 gold coins. "To be honest, these are all yours."

Zuo Rui pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva. "Master Jiujiulinga may have misunderstood something. I, Zuo Rui, am not the kind of eagle man who is greedy for power and money!"

"Add two more bottles of Angel's Tears and 2 gold coins!" Jiujiulinga said calmly, "If you don't tell me, I will ask someone else, and then all these good things will belong to others! The orcs nowadays are shrewd and selfish. Without money, who would be willing to work for you! Zorri, right? Who is your chief? Even if you have no use for these gold coins, it would be a good thing to give them to your chief or Igni as a tribute! You have to wake up. In the Orc Empire, Angel's Tears are a more scarce hard currency than gold coins! What's the difference between the wine brewed by humans in the past and swill?"

"My Lord, please stop insulting swill. I think swill tastes better than the alcoholic beverages of the past." Zorri's eyes moved back and forth over the frosted glass bottles of the five Angel's Tears. The remaining water stains and ice chips on them were so tempting. In this sultry Blood Roar Province, they were as sexy and hot as a woman soaked through. To be honest, Zorri's throat was about to smoke after flying to Silver Mane last night and flying here again today to report the news. "In my opinion, other alcoholic beverages in this world, except Angel's Tears, are just like wild boar urine."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

The four major orc races in Blood Roar Province each have their own contempt chain in their hearts, but if you ask which race they dislike the most, it is undoubtedly the wild boars of the Fang Tribe!

"Yesterday, Jing Ge arranged 6 orcs to fight Raven. They did kill 200 to humans, but most of them were mercenaries! It was mainly our Eagle Tribe that made great contributions. We killed more than wind kings and elite soldiers of the enemy in one battle!" Zorri drank the frozen tears of angels and began to speak without hesitation: "But my chieftain Mupe also died because of this!"

"When I reported to Lord Silvermane this morning, he was furious. They had a meeting inside, and I don't know the details, but before I left, the large army did start to move out, and it looked like they were heading for Raven!"

Zori was cautious and did not tell the whole truth, because he saw that the direction of the large force's movement was not towards the Tallinn River, but towards the upper direction.

Just five bottles of Angel's Tears are enough to bribe him. You are just looking at him through the cracks in the door! If he hadn't flown for so long and his throat was almost smoking from thirst, at least... at least ten bottles, Zorri would have told Jiujiu Linga this information. "Very good!"

Jiujiu Linga couldn't help but applaud, his hands clapping loudly. "Oh, I didn't expect you to bring me such good news. When you go back, report to Lord Silver Mane and tell him that I, Jiujiu Linga, promise to complete the mission and will definitely reach the Tallin River to meet up with the main force within the deadline!"

"Okay." Zorri put the remaining Angel's Tears into his arms, took away 150 gold coins, and left contentedly.

After Zorri flew away, Jiji Linga laughed loudly, "God bless us!" He had never thought that what he thought was a "bad thing" turned out to be a "good thing" in his favor! How many troops did Raven bring? Now that nearly 10,000 people have died, although most of them are mercenaries, it will also cause their vitality to be greatly damaged and their morale to plummet! With such a good opportunity, no matter how calm Silver Mane is, he will definitely be eager to wipe out the opponent!

All he needs to do is stay where he is and wait quietly for victory to come his way!

As for not being able to complete the agreed task, it was not a big deal for Jiujiu Lingga. As long as the Goblin clan was still useful to them, these stupid guys would not really do anything to him! It was too easy to find an excuse. Even if he made one up on the spot, Jiujiu Lingga could come up with ten thousand reasons!

“Raven, Raven! Without the great Jijilinga to help you, you must hold on! Kill more orcs!”

Jiujiu Linga couldn't help but pray for Lei Wen in his heart. After all, who wouldn't be happy when the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam?
Besides, what good would it do for Jiujiulinga if Leiwen died? With Leiwen around, at least the Bloody Roar Province had been turned upside down by him. The other three tribes no longer had the time to boss Jiujiulinga around like they used to, and all of them focused their attention on Leiwen.

It can be said that, apart from the incident of the ceremony being interrupted, the two months since Raven entered the Orc Empire were the two most comfortable months for Chichi Linga! Even if Raven died, he only needed to wait for Silver Mane and Broken Fang to die, and then he could control the entire Bloody Roar Province in one fell swoop!
This is the greatest interest and purpose deep in Jiujiulinga’s heart!
"Time! I need time most now!"

Jijilinga growled, and then saw a bear goblin staggering towards him. He shouted excitedly, "Pujiji, tell all the goblin legions to stop what they are doing and start digging trenches and holes. Then send some people back and mobilize more logistics. We will spend the best time here! Oh, and bring those imprisoned bards here too. I want to continue my research on "The Great Goblin: Interspecies Communication and Male Pregnancy"!"

The captured adventurers and bards were both male and female, but Jiujiulinga preferred a certain gender. The tightness of that gender was something that most people would never be able to experience.

Pujiji had a hint of doubt in his mind, and asked blankly, "Didn't Zuo Rui just say that Lord Silver Mane wanted us to gather at the Tallin River?"

"Humph"

A light snort came out of Jiujiu Lingga's nose, "If he wants to go, he can go? Does he really think he is the ruler of Bloody Roar Province? Compared with that lord, he is nothing! Why would I be afraid of him?"

A hint of fear flashed across Pujiji's eyes. He nodded, turned around and went to pass on the message.

……

Eagle Army Camp.

Somewhere on the bank of the Tallinn River, in an open space full of flowers and plants, a mound of earth suddenly appeared. Henry was wiping his tears while carving something on the stone.

Hume walked over and said in a deep voice: "Don't be sad. George was a true hero who died in the war with the orcs. He won the highest honor of the human race!"

This young man, who was born into a noble family of the Marquis, participated in successive surprise attacks on goblins and decisive battles against wild boar men. He had obviously matured a lot, and his originally round and fair body had become dark and lean in just two months. His whole spirit and energy had changed as well.

Henry felt a little embarrassed by Hume's arrival. He quietly wiped the tears from his face, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "George is my best friend. He takes care of me like my own brother! And I didn't even get to see him for the last time."

Hume walked over and sat next to Henry. He saw "George" engraved on the stone. It was obviously a tombstone made for George. Hume smiled and said, "Don't waste your energy. After we leave, if there is a tombstone here, those orcs will dig it up and eat George's body! For orcs, the human body is a rare delicacy!"

Hume took the stone from Henry's hand and threw it into the Tallin River nearby. There was a loud "plop" sound, and water splashed everywhere, soaking Hume's lower body. "After listening to Thor's story, I want to tell you my story today!" Hume walked back and put his arm around Henry's shoulders and said, "Thor's story about his childhood when he beheaded the mercenary a few days ago touched me a lot. It is hard for me to imagine that a person can live such a hard life since childhood, like a miserable dog, beaten all over the body, and still have to smile and get up to be beaten again and again, day by day, as if the pain did not exist, as if the other party was not the one who beat him! If joining the Eagle Army made me realize that I am not a genius with extraordinary fighting spirit, then Thor's story made me truly understand the value of life! I also understand why my father indulged me so much since I was a child."

"Actually, do you know? I'm not the only child in my family. I have 13 cousins, 6 biological brothers, and 2 biological sisters... and I'm the ninth child."

"But when I was born, they were all dead! Died in the brutal battle with the orcs!"

"My father is a marquis, so our castle is very big. But when I was a child, I always felt that there was a ghost in the castle. The ghost would howl and cry every night. I was very scared, very scared! Just like you now, I am trembling with fear. I have the intractable pain of losing my loved ones, and I am also worried about my own safety. I don't know when these days will end."

"Thor and I have the same knot in our hearts. We both want to work hard and don't want to live in the shadow and care of our fathers all our lives. I didn't understand my father before. I always thought that he didn't let me participate in the war against the orcs because he was afraid of death! But now I understand, it's not that he is afraid of death, he has never been afraid! He is just afraid that I will die."

There was a hint of melancholy in Hume's tone, "Because in war, death is really the simplest thing, as simple as eating and drinking! So Henry, muster up your courage, live well, live for George! We are human beings, and we are born with the responsibility and honor of resisting the invasion of orcs!"

Henry nodded as if he understood, but he was obviously more concerned about another question, "Where is that ghost?"

"As I grew up, the ghost gradually disappeared. Every night, the duration of its wailing and crying became shorter and shorter, and then it slowly disappeared."

Henry looked up, "Is the ghost gone?"

Hume ruffled Henry's hair and smiled, "No, the ghost is still in my house."
