    Tanari Thunderhorn, the envoy in charge of the Banner of the Barbarian Beast King and the leader of the White Guards, rode wildly under the pitch-black night, followed by more than twenty trusted subordinates.  After nearly two hours of sprinting at full speed, the fire of Fatigal City had long been left behind. Both the rider and the mount were exhausted and panting, sweating profusely, but Tanari Thunderhorn was unwilling to stop here.  , subconsciously, he just wanted to get further away from that cursed place.  The pain on the right shoulder where it was hit hard by the bone stick was quite severe. The old guy was more difficult to deal with than imagined.  Tanari Thunderhorn couldn't help but feel glad that he was careful in his work. If he had followed the original plan and made Don Tomad the second assassination target instead of sending people to assassinate him at the same time, the target of this mission would probably be only  It's half done.  "However, even if both assassination targets are killed, it can only temporarily slow down the progress of Fatiguere City. The goal His Majesty Zulu Gritouzi wants to achieve is not just that.  Tanari Thunderhorn filed his teeth with worry. This time he volunteered, he lost three loyal subordinates, and also left behind ten wild giants and the idiot ally Turuba Bonebreaker. No matter how you calculate it,  Made a loss-making transaction.  "I must regain the trust of His Majesty Zulu Gritoutz. I am afraid that some of the responsibilities must be passed on to that idiot Tuluba. Anyway, he will definitely die in the hands of the angry guards of Fatiguere City." Tanari?  While Lei Jiao was thinking about it, he clamped his legs tightly on his mount's abdomen, hoping to make his progress faster.  However, the exhausted mount did not satisfy its owner. The sand lizard made a hoarse scream. Instead of speeding up, it gradually slowed down.  Tanari Thunderhorn cursed angrily, and was about to punch the disobedient mount when a voice from behind stopped him in time.  "Leader Tanari, wemust take a rest" The person speaking is Tanari? Another of Thunderhorn's capable subordinates. His personality is calm and stoic that is rare among barbarian orcs. Tanari  ?Leijiao always valued his opinions, so he suppressed the anxiety that came from nowhere and turned around on the lizard's back.  "It's not safe here, Jadra." He defended his behavior. "The noise the old guy made was enough to wake up the dead. We must stay away from that damn oasis, as far away as possible."  "Fatiguere does not have a domesticated desert lizard to serve as a mount, and with the foot power of dromedary wild camels and ponies, there is no way he can catch up with us." The tall Jadra replied while panting, "And  No matter what, Chief Tanari, we must maintain our strength. The Banner of the Barbarian King cannot pass unimpeded in the Great Desert of Abraham. Once a hostile tribe finds a small and exhausted messenger of the Barbarian King, I am worried about what will happen.  There is no difference between the pursuers. "Tanari? Leijiao looked down at his mount. The desert lizard under his crotch had already spit out its forked tongue, and there was foam near its nostrils. It was obvious that it was almost reaching the limit of physical exhaustion.  "You are right, Jadra." He reluctantly admitted, "We will stop and rest for an hour, then turn south. We will arrive at a medium-sized tribe that surrenders to His Majesty the Beast King before noon." Jadra is satisfied.  He nodded and was about to give the order when a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face. Then he jumped forward and fell at the feet of Tanari Thunder Horn.  Looking at the black crossbow bolt that pierced the back of Jadra's neck, Tanari Thunderhorn's eyes suddenly widened.  "Enemy attack!" he shouted sternly, "with me as the center, defend in a circle!" The troops of the barbarian orcs have always been famous for their bravery, but what is equally famous is that these guys are very difficult to restrain, and they want to train them to obey orders and prohibitions.  It is probably no easier to train a group of cowards into fearless warriors than to train a group of cowards into fearless warriors.  Tanari Thunderhorn really put a lot of effort into training his subordinates. More than twenty roaring beastman warriors quickly formed a prototype of a circular formation around him. If it hadn't been for a shower of arrows falling on his head at this time, it would have been said that  The command may not be completed.  The team of barbarian orcs fell into chaos under the second rain of arrows, and was ended by the third rain of arrows. More than half of the roaring warriors were lying on the ground, with a few black crossbow bolts stuck in their bodies, and they luckily escaped the rain of arrows.  The people all used the corpses of their companions and mounts as cover. At the same time, they put their leather shields on their heads and lay on the ground without daring to move.  Tanari Thunderhorn, who is in the center of the circle formation, is considered the luckiest one. He has the largest number of shelters in his position, and his skills are far better than other roaring warriors.  Although more than a dozen crossbow bolts flew from all directions, he dodged them all or blocked them with a wave of his axe. Only one of them grazed his shoulder and was nailed to the lizard skin armor there.  The rain of arrows stopped, just as abruptly as it appeared.  Tanari Thunderhorn carefully stood up straight and found that he was surrounded by hundreds of black figures.?.  These black figures all held exquisitely crafted black crossbows in their hands, and wore gray-green hooded cloaks of the same style. The low-hanging hoods and masks of the same color covered their faces, revealing only two cold and ruthless eyes.  Judging from the slender figures of those black figures, they do not belong to any barbarian orc tribe in the Abraham Desert, and they are even far from human mercenaries.  Tanari Thunder Horn's head turned as hard as he could, trying to understand the scene in front of him. This unexpected ambush had put him at a great disadvantage. Although he was very confident in his own strength, he was caught by a group of unidentified ambushers.  Fight your way out of the siege?  This is indeed a very difficult problem.  "Who are you?" He decided to try to solve this problem with words instead of force, at least to buy some time.  "We are the envoys of the supreme and famous Majesty Zulu Gritoutz. Do you understand what this attack means? Lift the siege immediately, otherwise you will pay an unimaginable heavy price!" Tanari Lei  Of course I'm not an idiot.  The Savage Beast King's flag was lying at his feet, with several holes pierced by black crossbow arrows.  Of course the ambusher would not have mistaken the target. This passage was just a test, or a breakthrough for negotiation.  "A heavy price?" A voice sounded from among the black shadows. Tanari Thunderhorn felt strangely that the voice seemed familiar, "According to the sacred teachings of Quenya, the goddess of the silver moon, the crime of killing the host by the guest will never be redeemed.  No matter who they are, such murderers will be despised and cursed by the desert tribes, and their souls should be thrown into the fiery purgatory of Sonata, the Lord of the Black Moon. I would like to ask, Lord Messenger, can such a murderer be allowed to escape?  Is there such a thing?" Tanari Leijiao asked, "Is this the reason for your attack?" His tone was strong, but his heart was suddenly filled with a layer of gloom.  Of course this is impossible!  The assassination of Elder Gang Yan happened only two hours ago. He and his party were running at full speed, changing their direction twice, and there was no room for an ambush in advance.  There must have been some mistake, perhaps a similar coincidence occurred in a nearby tribe?  "It is true, and I can also tell the name of the murderer." The familiar voice continued, and then the black shadows blocking the front moved away to both sides, revealing a figure that stunned Tanari Thunderhorn.  .  "Tanari Thunder Horn, the envoy who holds the banner of the Barbarian Beast King, you haven't seen me for just a few hours, are you going to deny the crime you committed?" "Dun Tomad?" The expression of the leader of the White Guards suddenly changed.  He was so pale, "You're not dead?" "Your useless men can't hurt me." Tomad made a gesture, and then the three grinning heads were thrown out with force and rolled down between the two of them.  on the sandy ground.  "Master Envoy, please answer me, why did you want to assassinate Elder Gangyan and me? Is this the real purpose of His Majesty Zulu Gritots sending the envoy?" Tanari Leijiao hesitated for a moment, and then used his extreme  He said in a reluctant tone, "Since the establishment of Fatiguere City, it has not shown obedience and surrender to His Majesty Zulu Gritoutz, which makes His Majesty deeply angry." "This is not a reason." Tomad replied calmly,  "Everyone knows that Fatiguere City is blessed by the God of March, and His Majesty Zulu Gritots has also not shown any goodwill to Fatiguere City." Tanari Leijiao narrowed his eyes.  Once again, it was confirmed that this volunteered mission was a huge mistake.  "This is the reason, Don Tomad, or Lord Shaman of the Gods." He replied in an almost cold tone, "You should not exist, nor should the old guy who knows the ancient language of the wild and can talk to giants should exist.  , Fatiguere City has become a thorn in the flesh of His Majesty Zulu Gritoutz. I thought you could understand what I meant." Tomad took a deep breath.  However, the cold morning wind did not seem to penetrate deep into his heart, and what flowed into his throat seemed to be hot magma.  The temperature at dawn in the desert was certainly not that hot. What burned his throat was Tomad's anger, and perhaps a hint of fear that had penetrated his mind.  Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Tomad did understand what Tanari Thunderhorn meant.  The blessing of the God of March and the recognition of the wild giants have constituted the two major requirements for ascending to the throne of the king of the barbarian beasts. As long as the desert tribes recognize the change of the barbarian king, the huge power of Zulu Gritots will collapse.  .  The conflict between Fatigael City and the Banner of the Savage Beast King is absolutely irreconcilable, and there is no difference between surrender and submission.  Zulu Gritouzi will never allow the emergence of existence in the Abraham Desert that can challenge his power, even if it is just a possibility.  "I understand what you mean, Lord Messenger, then there is only one last thing left to resolve between us." Tomad said as he slowly pulled out the gryphon sword, and the blade was sharpened.Pointing towards the rose-colored sky with twinkling stars, the icy cold light danced endlessly in his golden eyes.  "Nothing soothes the souls of the dead more than a duel, Tanari Thunderhorn, are you ready to face death?"
