In fact, long before the Asa people of Powatán village crossed the river and went to the north to investigate, the senior leaders of the "Conquering Order" sent scouts and spies to the south bank of the big river in a more secret way, collecting intelligence and drawing detailed maps to teach The regiment paved the way for expanding the sphere of influence on the south bank of the Yifen River.

"Stealing soul" Chany Kui is a scout under the "Conquest Church". He swims among the jungles on the south bank of the Eifen River all the year round. It is far more local than his immediate boss "Snake Hand" Shaman. clear.

Under the guidance of Caniqui, the "Snake Hand" Sharman led the corps composed of three hundred "dry branch monsters", two hundred "withered needle monsters" and no less than one hundred withered monsters. Vastly forward. They traveled west along the river bank, and after two days of travel, they finally came close to the destination-the valley where the ogres lived.

The valley is located deep in the riverside dense forest. As early as the last century, the ancestors of the Shrek family settled and proliferated here, and named their territory "Deep Forest Valley"-in the eyes of "Snake Hand" Shaman, this simple and appropriate The place names are also commensurate with the imaginative minds of the ogres.

The deep forest valley is densely covered with vegetation, and there are low bushes growing between the tall trees. There are countless sentries lurking in the trees and bushes. With a tall and tall body of ogres, it is neither suitable for climbing trees nor good at lurking. Most of the sentinels on the periphery of the valley are the weaker ethnic groups conquered by King Shrek and his warriors, mainly half-orcs and goblins.

"Snake Hand" Shaman used "Eagle Eyes" to look into the deep forest valley from a distance of several miles, and saw the half-orc sentry and goblin scouts in the forest due diligence, and could not help but to the ogre who claimed to be the "wise king" The lord has a little more admiration.

As we all know, "ogres" are not a race that is willing to observe discipline. Their minds are often inversely proportional to muscles, and stupidity and combativeness are synonymous with them. Most ogres can only undertake the simplest physical tasks on the battlefield or on the construction site, and slightly more complicated tasks will make them confused. Let’s not expect the ogres to complete a major project together. Compared with the division of labor, these stupid big guys are more willing to fight with each other. The more ogres get together, it usually means chaos and trouble with increasing geometric progression.

Starting from the general habits of the Ogre clan to examine the deep forest valley, Sharman doubts whether there are really more than a thousand ogres inhabited here. There is no sign of confusion here. The ogre warriors are all dressed in standard leather armor, carrying excellent forged mace on their shoulders, and under the command of the commander, patrol along the avenue from the valley to the river, neatly organized The uniform progress is like a well-trained regular army.

"Shrek ruled his territory, subjects, and slaves with iron fists, bringing an amazing order to the deep forest valley. The residents here, whether they belong to the noble class ogres or the slave class half orcs, jungle gnomes, or goblins, I admire their king very much, and under the arrangement of Shrek do their duties."

The Soul Stealer approached Shaman and truthfully introduced the local situation to his master.

"Shrek selected the strongest and most aggressive five hundred ogres from his clan, one by one titled "Warrior". These five hundred ogres warriors are his team who have been in battle for years. Shrek led this The powerful regiments have conquered the alien tribes around the deep forest valley one after another and made a public promise that as long as the conquered respects him as king and undertakes labor and tribute, they can be exempted from the end of the greed rations, as before Tranquility is alive, and can also be protected by the Shrek Warrior when they are threatened by foreign enemies or beasts."

"Oh, this guy's acting style is really a bit of a "king style"." Sharman commented half-sneeringly and half-praisingly.

"Perhaps Shrek's methods are rare in the eyes of real big men, but the orcs and goblins are not much smarter than the ogres. They are easily recovered by Shrek, and they are the vassals of the ogres. Shrek makes full use of these servants, Conscript half-orcs to serve as subordinate soldiers in his troops, conscript skillful jungle gnome to forge weapons for his troops, tan leather armor, and produce dangerous alchemy items such as flaming glue, thunderstones, and smoke bombs, even insignificant and cowardly The goblin also made a big use under this ogre lord."

"Shrek created a special unit, picked the strongest ogres, put on a full set of plate armor, carried huge iron buckets, and arranged three to four military-trained goblins to ride in the basket, relying on iron The barrel is used as a shield to launch attacks with crossbows, spears, and alchemy bombs, just like a humanoid armored chariot!" Soul Essence exclaimed with exaggeration.

"Knowing how to control his subordinates and mastering military training, this Shrek can deserve the title of'Smart King.'" Shaman said lightly.

At this time, a loud horn sounded in the valley opposite, then the alarm bell was made, and the patrols on the avenue and the scouts in the trees were all on alert.

Sharman saw this scene with his magic vision, and guessed that his own troops had been discovered by the sentinels in the Deep Forest Valley. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, he gave a glance to the Soul Stealer and signaled him to come forward and negotiate with the ogre clan. Your own intentions.

Canikwe did not want to deal with the unreasonable ogres, but he did not dare to disobey the will of his master, so he flew out daringly.

Chanikui's luck was not bad. The Ogre Warriors who led the team must be in a good mood today, but he patiently listened to his intentions, let him stay in place, and hurried back to report.

Twenty minutes later, Canicui brought a female ogre dressed as an envoy to the "Snake Hand" Sharman.

The female ogre squinted her small eyes and looked at Shaman up and down for a while. When the "wither" was about to run out of patience, the other party finally broke the silence and declared that King Shrek arbitrarily punished them. It was very unpleasant to break into his own territory, but the principle of being generous and generous was not for the time being, and Shaman was asked to go to the king’s castle immediately to see if he had sufficient reasons to defend his offense.

After talking about this set of rhetoric, the ogre envoy emphasized: "The king only allows you to bring a servant into the palace to see. As for the ugly monsters behind you who are half people and half trees, you have to stay in place to accept me. Fang monitoring, do not act rashly!"

Shaman’s visit was seeking the Ogre Lord, and he had been psychologically prepared for the harsh treatment he had encountered. He nodded quietly and followed the request made by the other party to leave the withered corps, only to follow the envoy with the soul stealer. Deep forest valley.

The envoy led the servants of Shaman to a convertible cart dragged by herbivorous dinosaurs. Before getting on the car, they took out a pair of leather blindfolds and asked the two to wear them, lest they take the opportunity to peek into the military facilities inside the valley.

Sharman frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. After a little thought, he silently put on his blindfold, but there was a sneering arc between his lips. At the same time, the viper transplanted on his left arm quietly poked his head from the cuff and looked out of the carriage. With the help of the viper's vision, he could observe the surrounding buildings normally while covering his eyes.

The cart travels along the wide and flat avenue to the castle on the high **** of the deep valley. On both sides of the avenue are buildings that are planned like a chessboard. The streets are clean and tidy, unlike the residence of filthy ogres.

Sharman passed the residential area of ​​the ogre nobles by car. The buildings in front of them were mostly stone-built single-family houses, while the communities where slaves lived were rows of simple wooden houses for centralized management. The barracks and warehouses were also made of stone. Made, it looks quite sturdy. Shrek’s mansion sits on a hillside, and the three-story fortress made of rock is quite magnificent, like a gray giant overlooking the valley.

After entering the gate of the castle, the female ogre-Shrek's court chief-took off blindfolds for Sharman and Canikwe and led them to the first floor restaurant to meet King Shrek.

The Ogre Lord sat at the long table in the middle of the restaurant and was having dinner with a nearby minister. King Shrek has a yellowish complexion and a greener body, taller and stronger than ordinary ogres. He sits there two taller than the standing Sharman, wearing a loose golden robe, and his chubby face resembles a big winter melon. The bare head has no grass, the iconic small eyes of the ogres, the collapsed nose bridge, the big mouth, and a pair of trumpet-like ears make the ogren lord look calm, but his eyes are a bit sad- —Sharman couldn’t guess whether this was due to his mind or was just pretending to be deep.

Sharman also noticed that there was a whole roast pig in the dinner plate in front of Shrek, and there was honey dwarf brewed by the dwarf on the table. Judging from the diet, the "smart king" has moved away from the rumor drinking ogre tradition and is more like a human nobleman living in a civilized country.

The minister who accompanied King Shrek for dinner was wearing a gorgeous splendid robe and a wide-brimmed hat decorated with gorgeous feathers. It looked more handsome than the ordinary ogres, and had a slimmer figure and skin. The candlelight showed a pale cyan luster, and the elegant temperament was also very different from the ordinary rude ogres.

Just as Sharman stepped into the restaurant, Shrek's neighbors put down their knives and forks, hugged the lute next to them, and sang songs to welcome guests.

"Master, the guy who plays the piano is Casio. He is an ogre wizard and Shrek's most beloved court poet." Soul Stealer whispered in Sharman's ear. "You better not offend the pretentious man. A jerk, he never misses the opportunity to speak in Shrek's ear."

Sharman nodded suddenly. No wonder the man is a bit weird. It turned out to be a part-time bard of an ogre wizard.

"Ogre shaman" does not refer to an ogre that has a spell-casting class, but a subspecies of ogre. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it "higher ogre", and its appearance and body are more than ordinary ogre. Close to humans, the brain is also smarter, and has a very powerful ability to cast spells. According to Sharman, Casio, as a high-level ogre advanced bard, clearly possesses a strong power, but still willingly stays beside Shrek as a court attendant, showing that the king he serves has extraordinary leadership charm. Worthy of being "Mythical Ogre".
