Chapter 3497 Departure
"Understood, waste utilization."
The Iron Tree suddenly realized, and Sithon said, "Enough with the nonsense, let's get started on preparations. No matter what, Barbara must die this time."
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time. After all, it will take Barbara a while to leave with her people, a very long time, enough for us to make preparations."
Seth smiled, then, feigning anger and frustration but forced to compromise, he shouted, "Barbara, I'm not like you. I am the chieftain of the orcs, and I care about the life of every orc."
"Let the Grand Elder and the others leave, and I'll let you leave the city."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers looked at Seth with emotion. Although they knew that He could not truly cherish the life of every orc, it was already quite good that He was willing to compromise for the sake of the Grand Elder.
At that moment, most of the soldiers' doubts vanished. It was clear that Chief Set had not betrayed them; it was Barbara who had.
"A bunch of idiots."
Barbara looked at the group of guys and couldn't help but curse inwardly. Then, without saying a word, she began the retreat procedure.
This matter sounds simple, but it is quite complicated to carry out. After all, those who want to leave with Barbara include not only soldiers, but also their families and some civilians who believe in them.
Soldiers' families must be brought along, otherwise the soldiers will become disunited. As for civilians, Barbara couldn't bear to leave them behind. She knew very well that civilians left in the city were in danger and could be sacrificed at any moment.
Neither Sithon nor Seth were good people; sacrificing the entire city was as simple for them as eating and drinking.
Many of the elders who had sided with Barbara also needed to be taken away. Besides, this is modern society, not ancient times. It's impossible for everyone to escape on foot. We'll definitely need to mobilize vehicles or something similar, or at the very least, horse-drawn carriages.
Don't think that horse-drawn carriages are a joke. In this small world, there are actually quite a few horse-drawn carriages, and even organized cavalry units. The reason is simple: after the apocalypse, the horses have been improved and are much stronger than the horses before the apocalypse. To put it another way, one horse is equivalent to five horses in the past.
More importantly, after the apocalypse, resources have been greatly reduced. Not only has external input disappeared, but internal facilities have also been almost completely destroyed, making reconstruction difficult. In this situation, horses, which do not require fuel and are relatively easy to raise, are undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Overall, it was chaotic and troublesome. Fortunately, not many civilians were willing to go with them, otherwise it might have taken several days to leave.
This is why Seth said there was no rush; they had enough time to make preparations. In fact, several hours passed, and it was already dark, before Barbara and the others finally left the city.
"Chief Set, please wait. We will return the Grand Elder to you when we reach the next city."
Barbara still held the Grand Elder and the others hostage. She shouted loudly, while Seth, who was already prepared, sneered, "Barbara, remember what you said. If anything happens to the Grand Elder and the others, I will never let you off the hook."
"You're really good at pretending."
Barbara snorted and said no more. She led the large group away in a grand procession. Seth did not give chase on the surface, but secretly sent the Iron Tree and Poseidon to follow.
As for Seth and Sisorn, who wanted to build an altar in a secluded spot within the city, where the slaves and private armies gathered, Sisorn shook his head and said, "It's a pity we don't have enough time, otherwise we could have gone all out and sacrificed the entire city."
With over a million orcs in the entire royal city, it's definitely not something that can be handled by an ordinary altar. It would require setting up magic arrays within the city in advance and establishing a set of interconnected altars.
Of course, if Sithon and the like were God the Father now, they could easily sacrifice a city with a snap of their fingers, but unfortunately, they are not.
"No rush, let's deal with Barbara first. This matter is very important and we can't afford any problems."
Seth said, "Moreover, we cannot sacrifice the royal city. If we sacrifice the royal city, we will also lose the power of the orc race, which would be a loss."
The power of the orcs is very important. After all, our original plan was to trick all the orcs into believing in the Great Demon God, and then open a spatial portal to let death bring people in.
At the same time, we will utilize the power of the orcs to conquer the humans and the undead, and rule this world. From this vantage point, we will fight the King of Supernatural Abilities.
After a pause, Seth said, "To put it another way, if we really have to make a sacrifice, then let's sacrifice the city below. Then I'll find a reason like a human's superpower going out of control or a sneak attack by the Corpse People to cover it up, which will also increase the orcs' anger."
“Sacrificing other cities is indeed better than sacrificing the capital.”
Sisorn nodded and then said, "Of course, let's deal with Barbara first. Once we've taken care of her, we can talk about other things."
While Seth and the others were talking, Barbara was also talking to Andrew: "Mr. Wang, Seth and the others will definitely make a move against me next. After all, they don't need to worry about anything now that they're away from the royal city."
Should I make some preparations? Although with my current strength I should be able to fight them, they are all powerful figures. Since they dared to start a war, they must have secretly prepared a trump card.
"You don't need to worry about anything."
Andrew laughed and said, "However, you need to separate from the main group and take the elders to a deserted place by yourself. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, more people will die, and what's worse, they will use other people to blackmail you."
Barbara wasn't a good person, but she was kind to those around her, including the elders, subordinates, and the people who supported her. She certainly couldn't ignore them.
"Separate from the main force? Mr. Wang, separating from the main force is not a problem, but fighting alone is out of the question, isn't it?"
Barbara was taken aback. She said, "Seth and the others will probably come with the elders. I might not be a match for them on my own. The elders are not weak. Although they are not my match one-on-one, I might not be able to win if several of them gang up on me."
"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you."
Andrew smiled and said, "The key lies with the Grand Elder and the others. I'll teach you a method to make them play a huge role."
Barbara naturally had no doubt about Andrew's methods; after all, that was God. She thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Wang, could you directly restore the Grand Elder and the others to normal? If they are restored, perhaps we can launch a counterattack on the royal city and expose Set's true colors?"
"If I could do that, I would have used this method long ago. How could I have let you escape the capital with your men?"
Andrew shook his head and said, "After all, Sithon is a powerful figure in the multiverse. His methods of controlling people cannot be easily cracked by me."
