In front of a round table, the orcs, including wolf-headed men, strong orcs, lizard men, pig-headed men, etc., were waiting in their respective seats. Of course, they were not very patient, and some were already tapping their feet on the table.
He seemed ready to leave at any time.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Bai Feng walked in from the door, and behind her was a young man. The orcs immediately discovered that the young man behind the tiger leader turned out to be a human.
"Bai Feng, why did you bring a human to our meeting?"
"Human beings are so unreliable that they will betray us."
"That's right, we can't cooperate with humans."
...
All the orcs expressed their distaste for humans. These orcs were once unruly orc warriors, but were defeated and captured for various reasons. In the end, they were all sent to the Iron Feather City controlled by humans, and were eaten here.
Despite all the suffering, nature has no good feelings towards human beings.
The young man was about to defend himself, but Bai Feng spoke first: "I trust him. If you don't trust him, you don't trust me."
After saying that, Bai Feng clenched his fists, and the powerful Gang Qi flowing into his fists caused the surrounding air to vibrate.
"Forehead!!"
The orcs immediately shut up.
The orc society of the weak and the strong is so simple. Only the strong have the right to speak. With Bai Feng as a backer, the young man's words can be heard by these orcs.
"Now that it's quiet, I'll say it."
The young man is now more calm than before. Facing the gazes of these fierce orcs, his unflinching demeanor has also made these orcs have a different view of this thin human boy.
"I heard that you planned to attack tourists at the Spring God Festival, take hostages as threats, and let yourself out of the city?"
The strong orc sitting in the middle seat nodded and said: "Yes, that's right."
The young man took a deep breath and said loudly: "The plan you discussed before has too many problems and is completely unfeasible. If you really do this, you will all be destroyed."
The pig-headed man slapped the table, stood up and scolded: "What do you know? Our plan is based on the physique of our orc warriors. With our powerful orc warriors..."
The pig-headed man shut up and sat back in the middle of his words, because the tiger man behind the boy was looking at him with murderous eyes.
Then the young man looked at these menacing orcs and said without changing his expression: "You powerful orc warriors, are you going to use your body to block the ballista? Block the artillery fire? Use your legs to run past the hybrid horse?"
The lizard man hesitated for a moment and then said: "If we hold the human nobles hostage, nothing will happen."
The young man let out a sneer and said: "You are so naive to think that Tieyu City will care about the few tourists you kidnapped? In their view, the top priority is to settle you as much as possible and restore the reputation. I really want you to use this
If you leave the city in any way, they will definitely hunt you to the ends of the earth, and they won’t give up without having to buy back all of your heads with huge sums of money!”
"Then...what do you think we should do?"
The strong orc knocked on the table. Different from the dissatisfied gazes of other orcs, he seemed to look at the young man with a little more interest.
"I have prepared a detailed plan here. You can see if it is feasible."
The young man waved his hand to signal Bai Feng behind him to take action.
Bai Feng nodded, walked out of the door and waved to the long-awaited Khajiit warriors outside, so these tall and strong Khajiit men walked into the room carrying trays. In the surprised eyes of these orcs, the Khajiit warriors placed the trays
In front of these orcs, there is a piece of papyrus on each tray.
After hesitating for a while, the orcs began to read the contents on the papyrus. Since the papyrus was written in Husu language, the orcs of different races could basically understand it.
The wolf-headed man squinted his eyes and read the contents on the paper for a while and said: "Although your idea is indeed interesting, what you mentioned requires us to understand the structure of the city's protection before we can implement it."
"Yes, how do you want to solve it?"
The other orcs immediately agreed and questioned the boy.
The young man stopped Bai Feng who was about to retaliate and said: "I drew a sketch of the city inside. You can first send people to check the specific structure and improve it according to the content of the sketch."
"If we can't perfect this picture, then we will die in artillery fire out of nowhere."
"Yes, and we don't know the strength of the troops here."
...
The orcs asked the young man many questions, and the young man answered them one by one. Finally, after more than an hour of discussion, they finally finalized a satisfactory draft.
Bai Feng complained beside the boy: "I didn't expect those guys to be so verbose."
At this time, the orc representatives and tiger warriors had left, and only the boy and Bai Feng were left in the room. The boy smiled and said: "That's a good thing, it shows that they recognized my plan and are willing to think about it and implement it."
problem."
"I'm curious how they understood your plan so quickly. I thought many of them couldn't understand it."
Bai Feng knew that many of those orcs were old and rough, with only muscles left in their brains, and not many of them could read.
The young man's plan was discussed with himself and Hei Sha yesterday. Bai Feng also spent a lot of time trying to persuade Hei Sha to accept this escape plan, but Hei Sha was still stubborn and did not want Bai Feng to drag the entire clan into the water.
As a result, the young man came over and said a few words that night, and Heisha smiled and said: "Then let's go and do it!"
Then they worked out a detailed plan together all night long.
"There must be some illiterate among them, so I asked your people to perform a ritual so that they would be embarrassed to say that they are uneducated."
"Pfft! So that's it?"
Bai Feng laughed out loud, she didn't expect this at all.
The young man replied calmly: "Well, so as long as one or two people who understand can express their opinions, others will immediately agree."
"Of course the important thing is that I have your support."
"With your support, I can carry out my plan."
The young man knew very well that the key to making those orcs listen to him was not the rationality of his plan itself, but Bai Feng standing behind him.
Without the support of Bai Feng, who represents the highest combat power among the orc fighters, and the tiger warriors behind him, those orcs would not take him seriously at all.
"Ahem... I should support you, and I thought their method was not feasible before, but I don't know any better solution."
Bai Feng coughed lightly to hide his panic, and then continued:
"Considering the gap in strength, we did not want to fight head-on with the guards, so we decided to kidnap human nobles in the central area of the ground, and directly asked the top brass of Iron Feather City to agree to our conditions and let them go."
"Yes, but kidnapping hostages will make you a target of public criticism. The label of "defected slaves" will always be on you."
And it is obvious that Iron Feather City will increase the number of guards in the city on the day of the festival. If you are unlucky, the entire city will be under martial law, and most of the slaves will not even be able to leave underground.
In addition, nobles with real power and status often bring powerful and numerous guards, so the orcs' chance of success is indeed low.
Of course, since this point was equivalent to saying that these orcs were overestimating their own capabilities, the boy did not bring it up. This was also what Lanji had taught: Don’t touch the other party’s obvious weaknesses when talking.
"But I didn't expect that you could find so many supporters."
The young man initially suggested Bai Feng to recruit other forces, but he didn't expect that Bai Feng actually found so many helpers.
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "To be precise, I brought all the orc fighters over."
"Is it so powerful?"
The young man was overjoyed. There were more than 200 orc fighters in the Colosseum, and they were all powerful orc veterans. Once armed, they would definitely be an extremely impressive fighting force.
"We orcs have originally emphasized that warriors should have the honor of dying in battle. Most of the people you just saw are experienced warriors who have won the title of 'Warrior' in the tribe. After they were captured, they were used as ornaments and
Other lives were fighting, the glory of battle was desecrated, and I was dissatisfied for a long time."
Having said this, Bai Feng sighed.
"perhaps......"
"This day should have come a long time ago."
Bai Feng clearly remembered how his people were used as entertainment toys and then died under the swords of other fighters.
Bai Feng wanted to do something a long time ago, but Heisha stopped her and told her to be patient.
However, Bai Feng clearly remembers what He Sha once taught him in his early years: "Orcs are satisfied with a glorious death and are ashamed of a mediocre life."
However, Bai Feng also knew very well that acting on emotion was wrong, so she accepted becoming a gladiator and a plaything to be watched.
But even though Bai Feng received countless flowers and applause in each victory, she never felt that it was an honor. If it weren't for the prestige she accumulated in the arena to protect her people, Bai Feng would not be a fighter.
.
"Indeed, this day should have come long ago."
The young man repeated this sentence, of course he knew how much weight it contained.
"Speaking of which, why do you suddenly want to join us?"
Bai Feng thought that the young man would choose to stay out of the matter. Of course, she also felt that her side was too dangerous and that if she failed, she might be doomed, so she did not really want to involve the young man in the gang.
"Because I feel that now I should pursue what is right."
The young man looked at the lights on the wall, his dark eyes reflecting the dancing flames.
After figuring it out at that time, the originally confused young man seemed to have seen a lighthouse returning to Hong Kong. He never knew why he was living. Perhaps, the almost whimsical goal he thought of that day was the reason for his living.
"Pursuing... uh, me... ahem!"
Bai Feng was agitated by the sensitive words. Just as he was about to say something, he realized that he had misunderstood. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he could only cough.
"Um? Do you have a cold? Do you need to go to bed early?"
The young man looked at Bai Feng with a worried look on his face, his cheeks were red and he was coughing non-stop. He thought Bai Feng was exhausted from preparing the plan these days.
But the physical fitness of the tigers should not be bad, and Bai Feng is a very strong tiger warrior, so it stands to reason that she would not get sick easily, and she was obviously fine before!
So the young man was also filled with doubts.
"Ahem! It's okay, it's okay, I'm really fine."
Bai Feng looked away and tried to calm down.
"Come on, drink some water slowly."
The young man poured a cup of tea on the table and handed it to Bai Feng, who drank it all in one gulp.
"Ha~"
Bai Feng calmed down and his expression was very soothing.
juvenile:"......"
"Uh, ha, I'm fine."
After Bai Feng realized his gaffe, he immediately brought his face back to normal, and then started the topic:
"But it seems that we still have one problem that has not been solved, and that is the structural diagram of Iron Feather City. We have never had detailed information."
"Well, that's right."
The young man nodded. Although he had previously given a plan for the orcs to supplement the investigation according to the content of the sketch, the appearance of orc slaves was very conspicuous and they generally could not get close to military important locations.
Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to conduct surveys in those places. However, these areas that cannot be surveyed cannot be skipped in the plan.
"But I know someone who might be able to help me."
"Really? Who is this person?"
"Lan Ji in 'Spring of Huansha'."
"Is it her?"
Bai Feng was shocked. She didn't expect the young man to know this woman.
"Yes, she should know this city well, but I'm not sure about her..."
