Chapter 8 The Slave Hunt
Lien had to admit that the silly name of Beast God was very useful. Even Lot, who was famous for his stubbornness in the empire, simply used the title of Beast God's Envoy to suppress his objections.
"I really don't know when that thin bamboo pole of yours will be available for use. It doesn't seem to be popular with others." Standing next to Li En was Xiao Ba, a female lich.
Lich is a common creature in the underworld. Its status in the underworld is in the middle level. There are many but there are relatively few strong ones. This witch named Yabo is a lich lord, and he is also a second-level lich lord with powerful power.
, the territory is vast, and there are many powerful people under his command.
But now she could only stand quietly behind Li En with a helpless expression, covering her forehead with her slender fingers, and a strand of dark gray hair slowly fluttering in the gentle mountain breeze.
Because it was the eighth underworld creature that Li En defeated, Yabo was not convinced by the strength of the previous seven people. However, since she was already Li En's subordinate, she had no right to fight for it, so she simply practiced alone in the underworld. Sometimes even
Lien didn't come out even if he summoned him, and Lien didn't care. Anyway, he didn't really need the help from his men.
There was nothing he could do about being forcibly summoned by Lien this time. He forcibly arranged the nine undead creatures together in the underworld's territory. Yabo was specially summoned by Xiaojiu when he returned to the underworld.
Among the nine undead creatures, only Boya's body is normal. In other words, people who are not more than two levels stronger than her cannot tell whether she is an undead creature or a normal human being.
Boya's appearance was extremely strange, so it was easier to pretend to be a female fox orc. In order not to affect the training of other orcs, Lien only called ten orcs.
Among them, Chef Rosa, Captain Wall of the 10th Team of the 3rd Border Guard Regiment, Officer Pete, and Rat Man Malos were all chosen by Lien himself. The next six tauren were just to bring out the gifts. To put it simply,
Just a handyman.
As for Boya's current helplessness, it is entirely due to Lien's unreasonable troubles, because Lien feels that he should dress up as an orc, and he is now working hard to develop in the direction of neither wolf nor rat. Boya can even hear Lien's complaints.
"It's okay to cross genders, but cross races... let's forget it!" After putting on makeup for a long time, he had no choice but to give up, and the orcs around him breathed a sigh of relief. This makeup is really scary, at least after seeing all of Lien's masterpieces
All the orcs feel like there is a cool breeze on their backs.
The Gary Empire that Lean is going to is one of the many small empires. There are three major human empires on the Furry Continent: the Kotler Empire, the Binis Empire, and the Ron Empire, and this Gary Empire is a part of the Kotler Empire.
It's just a vassal state with a population of only one million.
Because there are many large mercenary groups stationed in the Gary Empire near the Orc Forest, the Gary Empire is also called the "Mercenary Empire".
According to reports from orcs lurking in the Garry Empire, the Emperor of the Garry Empire, King Garry IV, is quite loyal. Whether he is a farmer or a noble, he seems to be living well. The only shortcoming of King Garry IV is that he likes to practice and not like government affairs.
And he is also the person with the strongest personal force in the entire empire.
Of course, this data does not include mercenaries, because some large mercenary groups may have larger headquarters than the Gary Empire, and there must be many capable people.
The eldest prince in the Gary Empire is now mainly in charge of government affairs. Lien has seen this man's portrait and read his relevant language records. There is only one prince in the Gary Empire and he is the eldest prince. The future throne will definitely be passed to him.
, so he worked very carefully, because this country will be his from now on.
From the perspective of political decrees, this eldest prince is an emperor who is suitable for defending the country. As for his aggressiveness, he is just one of many vassal countries. The main territorial dispute with the Orc Empire is actually the Kotler Empire.
Over the years, Kotler has exploited the forest in various ways, causing the scope of the orc forest to gradually shrink, and they have openly built castles in the open space and planted their star and moon flags. With such a large empire on their heads,
After all, the Gary Empire has no intention of expanding its territory.
The Bill tribe is close to the Gary Empire. Rean and the others only walked for a day to reach the border. They also encountered many orc patrols before. According to Rean's requirements, all patrols must be dressed in tatters.
In order to reduce human beings' wariness, it may not have much effect, but it is better than nothing.
The closer you get to the border, the more footprints of human mercenaries there are. Those who see ten orcs walking together basically stay away from the thieves' warnings. A few mercenaries are bolder.
It was only less than fifty meters away from the team, but after seeing it from a distance, the experienced mercenaries wisely chose to give way.
When you see the bloody totem flag, you will know that this is the envoy of the Orc Empire. No mercenary group will not rush forward to look for trouble.
It was noon, and Rosa took down the iron pot from behind to cook the food for lunch. The special fragrance slowly spread. Except for the orcs and Lien who were standing guard, everyone stared closely at the mouthful of fragrant food.
Even Boya, who is a lich, is a cauldron.
Liches are undead creatures. By Boya's stage, her physical level is almost the same as that of normal humans, so she can also taste Rosa's delicious food.
As for whether you can taste anything, Boya never said.
Lien looked at several useless subordinates and shook his head helplessly. Rosa's cooking skills were known throughout the Orc Empire. Although Lien had given him guidance, Rosa's own talent and hard work also took most of the credit.
.
Just as he was thinking about Li En, his heart moved, he narrowed his eyes and then smiled strangely. The laughter was not loud but Boya beside him heard it. Boya turned his head and looked at Li En and nodded, then looked at Li En with questioning eyes.
Well, Lien shook his head, Boya turned his head a little disappointed and continued to stare at Rosa's cauldron.
"After all, it's the underworld. If you take action, the impact will be too big." Lien muttered in a low voice. Boya's expression was startled and then he waved his hand to indicate that he would not care. Soon the tauren standing guard discovered the abnormality and came back to report.
"The scouts of the unknown human adventure team were found due south. There were three waves in total. I personally feel that they are hostile."
After listening to the report, Lean winked at Wall, who nodded and ran into the nearby woods. Werewolves were more capable of this kind of task, and were born scouts.
Wall came back in less than two minutes. The results of the report made Lean a little surprised and amused. "Are you going to capture us as slaves and sell us?" The reason why I say surprised is because this group of people is not afraid of death or not.
?
As for it being funny, it's because they really prepared "relatively comprehensively". Except for Lien, everyone seemed to be taken care of. At least what they prepared was looked over by Wall.
Li En tilted his head and said: "I am an envoy on a mission. You can figure it out for yourself and don't disturb..."
Before Lien finished speaking, he heard a whoosh, and a large net fell from the sky. Judging from the light on the net, it actually had a blade. The orc's body could withstand this net. If it were an ordinary human, it would be like a hornet's nest.
, the target of the net is none other than Chef Rosa, who is bending over to add ingredients to the pot.
Before the people next to him could give a warning, there was a loud shout in the air, and multiple large nets appeared at the same time. Everyone except Li En was involved. Unlike others, Boya's net had no blades. Li En and Li En
Boya has always been on the edge of the team, so the scope of the net just missed Lien and Boya.
Lean didn't make a sound or move, he just stayed quietly, and then the squeaking sounds came one after another all around.
Wall directly tore it open with his wolf claws, Malos used his stabbing sword to carry him away, and the rest were the tauren who directly tore the nets in half with their big hands. The strength of the tauren is not a boast.
Yes, every tauren wears special gloves on their hands. Ordinary blades cannot hurt the hands inside, so there is no need to worry even if the blades are poisonous.
But it was obvious that this was not over yet. The net had just been torn apart, and fireballs and arrows were fired from the left and right sides. It was obvious that the opponent had planned it well. The fireballs attacked the face to distract, while the arrows attacked the orcs' knees to prevent the orcs from escaping.
However, for the orcs of the Bill tribe, this seemed to be similar to scratching an itch. Several orcs pretended to be panic and shot away the fireball, and then they lowered their waists and covered their knees. In Lien's eyes, these orcs' eyes were full of pain.
The banter is three points higher than that of the fox. Of course, the acting skills also need to be as fake as possible, and the performance of the rat man Malos is the most exaggerated among all the orcs.
Rat Man's hands and feet are naturally thin and short. It is not possible for ordinary archers to hit his knees. In fact, the arrows shot at him go towards his abdomen. After all, the body has a higher hit rate than the knees.
Be bigger.
But Malos caught the arrow with his hand, and then pressed the arrow on his knee before shouting: "Ah! I've been hit by an arrow. Damn it, help me! I'm going to die!"
His fearful expression mixed with pain and exaggerated trembling movements fully explain what it means to be as timid as a mouse!
Rustling sounds echoed around, and more than twenty human mercenaries holding shields formed a small circle. The front of the shield was an iron plate, and the back was wood. On the one hand, such a shield could withstand being slashed by a sharp blade, and
The wood at the back can also play a certain role in shock absorption and weight reduction. It is obvious that this is a slave hunting team that often captures orcs as slaves. Judging from the weapons and equipment, all weapons are specially made for orcs.
The other party is determined to win.
Lien looked at the humans around him. Several humans seemed to be veterans. The shields in their hands were bloody and their eyes were extremely fanatical. At first, the slave hunting team did not expect that the prey in front of them was disguised. The only thing that was surprising was that
The only thing is that at this time, the orcs either fight back desperately or endure the physical pain and enter a confrontation with the humans. Although the situation in front of them is similar to the confrontation, I have never seen the orcs suffer so much pain after just a small injury.
It's okay to say that the rat man, the werewolf who is famous for his fast recovery can't yell like this, right?
The only orcs who did not receive special care were Boya, Peter and Lien. Boya was because of his appearance, while Peter was a pig-headed man with no fighting ability. Even slaves were extremely cheap, and it was not worth wasting energy on him. As for Lien,
, how much fighting power can a four or five year old child have?
Lean looked at Peter who was dumbfounded and said, "How about I leave these people to you?"
Peter was stunned at first and then overjoyed, but he asked cautiously: "Do you really allow it?"
Lean nodded, and Peter immediately got up from the ground, straightened his coat, flicked the dust off his body, and walked to the front of the entire team in a serious manner.
"Human adventure team, haven't you seen the bloody totem flag? This is the envoy of the Orc Empire. I am Peter, the chief officer of the Bill tribe. You have attacked my envoy team twice. I can understand that this is
Do humans want to provoke a signal of war with the orcs?" After speaking, Peter quietly looked at the humans who were still in a stalemate.
Soldiers from the Slave Hunting Team, look at me and I'm a little dumbfounded. This situation is completely different from the previous situation!
Before the pig-headed man stood up, everyone heard the conversation between him and the little boy. He used language that even the most knowledgeable veterans had never heard of. Then the little boy nodded and he came out to shout, but in the end all the humans present agreed.
I thought of a sentence: Is this pig sick?
But soon the humans present responded, "Dirty orcs, you are the only ones who still have a mission. You should roll in the mud, howl on the mountains, dig holes in the soil, and leave your memories under the roots of trees."
The fishy smell comes back to you, officer, are you kidding me?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a burly body, big shoulders and a round waist, and a sinewy face. Among the humans present, his shield was purple-black, which was left after countless blood dried up. Obviously, this man was considered a young man.
Leader, as soon as he finished speaking, the humans around him nodded unanimously.
What this person said mentioned pig-headed people, werewolves, rat people, and fox tribesmen. Anyone could hear the contempt in his tone. This person was provoking!
After hearing this, Peter nodded and said, "So this is the orc in the eyes of you humans?" The voice was very calm, but this calm tone suddenly made humans feel that the surrounding temperature was slowly rising, and some careful
People noticed a trace of blush on Peter's fair face.
