Chapter 40: Regner's Confession
"......" Regner was speechless, he didn't expect that this tall and bold orc did not focus on individuals or tribal clans, but considered the entire race.
Indeed, Olgarok's conquests in the previous years had brought much carnage and suffering to the other orc clans. Thinking about the clan and for a short time, he was just an ambitious invader.
However, after all the orc tribes were conquered, the orc empire appeared. This nascent empire brought stability and permanent peace to the orcs. Without it, the orcs would still be fighting each other independently for thousands of years. Algalok brought a brief pain of blood and fire to his race, but in reparation, he also brought peace and prosperity to his race for a longer period of time. From this point of view, Olgarok is the first hero of the orcs before the ancients.
And Clayton saw this, so not only did he not choose to kill Olgarok at that time, but instead surrendered to the Earthshaker Hammer, making the right choice for the prosperity of the race.
"I didn't expect Lord Clayton to have such a mind and vision. Thinking of this, Regner's admiration for Clayton increased a little, and he then asked, "But since you have no intention of killing him, why do you still have to duel with Olgarok?"
"Of course. Clayton said, "We orcs are still a race of strength after all. I duel with Xiao Ao to see if Xiao Ao has the strength to deter most people in the race. If Xiao Ao is not qualified in this regard, no matter how wise and calculating he is, he will not be able to sit on the throne of the orc chieftain. β
"And he qualified?"
Clayton's face showed a bit of pride: "Yes, he held out under my men for a minute, which is enough to make most of the orcs look down." β
Regner nodded, Clayton was extraordinary in terms of mind, vision, and bearing, although he was of a different race, but Ragner still had a little admiration for him.
He then analyzed: "I see, he passed your test. So you chose to help him with all your heart. And you handed over all the power to the Great Chief after the return of the Scarlet Warsong, presumably to enhance the Great Chief's control over the resources in his hands and speed up the pace of racial unification. β
"Oh, that's not it. Clayton shook his head seriously: "I'm a natural warrior, but I'm not a material to be a chieftain, so I threw everything to Xiao Ao and made him worry." This way I will have more time to refine my skills. To be honest, that little about the tribe really bothered my head before. β
"......" Regner was speechless again, and he suddenly felt that Clayton's tall figure was peeling off and crumbling little by little, becoming a pile of powder.
Anne Lot rested her little feet on the stone, a gesture that seemed unsightly, but she really didn't want the soles of her feet to come into contact with any solids. Even the wind of the wild plains on her feet would make her feel a faint pain. So, she tried to relax as much as she could, hoping to give them as much rest as possible at this time, because they would continue to suffer after a whileβshe didn't expect any help from Clayton.
After a while, Clayton also felt that he was almost rested, so he shouted at everyone to set off again.
Annelot gritted her teeth and put on her slippers, but a dark shadow loomed over her, and Regner came to her side.
"Don't even think about it!" Anne Lot knew what Regner was going to do, but she would rather break the foot than let him carry it, and although she couldn't say for any specific reason, she just didn't want to, especially not in front of Clayton.
"Don't even think about it. Regner said that he was about to step forward, but Annelot showed her little tiger teeth warily.
"Hey, Annie. Regner's face was gloomy because of Annelot's tough attitude, but he still smiled a little reluctantly and said to Annelot: "Let me carry you, I ...... I know you may be resistant to physical contact with men. But...... It's always more important than your feet. Although ......"
Regner was stunned for a long time, but finally plucked up the courage to continue: "Although I like you very much...... But, this time I'm really just trying to help you. I didn't mean to take advantage of you. I...... I just wanted to help you. β
Anne Lot's head was stunned all of a sudden, she was not an idiot, through the past few years of getting along with Regner, the girl also more or less understood Regner's mind. But she is also ignorant about this, she doesn't know if she also likes Regner, and she doesn't know how to deal with Ragner's feelings. Fortunately, Regner did not make any explicit statements because of this, so the girl was happy to pretend not to know.
But today, Regner finally pierced the last layer of window paper. Now he threw all the problems to Annelot, and it was up to Annelot to solve it.
But Anne Lot's expertise is in dealing with intelligence and information, not such personal emotional issues. So the girl was stunned the moment Regner said it, and she looked at Regner in a daze, but she didn't know what to say. But everyone could see the light of the sun clearly, and her face flushed.
It was as red as an autumn fruit, and Ragner had never seen Annelot's face so red, and such a color was embellished on the girl's peerless face, not to mention Ragner, and even Clayton, an orc with a different aesthetic from a human, stayed for a moment.
"Oh, this stinky boy seems to have picked up a treasure!" Clayton muttered.
Regner looked at Anne Lott nervously, he didn't know what would greet him next?a fireball or a hug? He was very worried, and at the same time secretly regretted how he said such a thing, he just wanted to persuade Anne not to hold on, how could he say such meaningless words? Obviously, this time he is going to the capital of the Orc Empire, whether he can see the sun tomorrow is still a question!
But Regner just said it, and he was afraid that if he didn't say it again, he wouldn't have a chance to say it, just like Eve did to Selenos. So, rather than regretting it in the future, Regna would rather choose to be miserable because of impulsiveness in the present. Because in his opinion, indecision is always something more terrible than reckless impulsiveness.
Annelot's mind went white for a moment, but eventually she kept her mind in check. The girl nodded lightly: "Okay, you carry me." β
Regner grinned, and though Anne Lott didn't say anything, at least she didn't say no, didn't she? That was enough for him to be happy for days.
When Clayton saw such a scene, he couldn't help but want to whistle. He remembered that humans loved to whistle on the occasion. It's just that the orc's fangs affect his control over the shape of his mouth, so the orc's blood-colored god of war can't make any sound from the lack of oxygen in his brain and his dizziness.
Innellis had just noticed the conversation between the two of Regner, and a sadness flashed in the little girl's eyes, but when she saw Regner and Annelot, she couldn't help but giggle again.
"Let's go!" Clayton's repeated attempts ended in failure, so he had to give up, giving orders hatefully under the slightly contemptuous gazes of Annelot and Regner.
"Don't worry, even if we get to the orc lair, we'll be fine. Regner had nothing to say, because he had said some inexplicable things before, so he always felt a little embarrassed to carry the girl on his back now.
"Why?" said Annelot, too, looking eager to get out of that atmosphere.
"I don't know. Regner said calmly: "But I think the Clayton people are not bad, so I always feel that being robbed by him this time is not necessarily a bad thing." Orcs can be brutal at times, but I'm sure Olgarok, who can lead an entire race, won't be a cruel and murderous guy. He caught us probably for something else, otherwise, he was big
You can let Clayton kill us directly. β
"That's not bad for you to say. Anne Lott whispered on Regner's back, "But I remember that you were quite hostile to the orcs before, why don't you seem to hate them too much this time?"
"I don't have a right to hate them. Regner smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, they killed Brother Selenos, but I killed all the orcs who did it." In the past two years, I have killed hundreds of additional orcs, and they also have relatives and brothers. I have also taken away their precious things, and have done more, so what right do I have to hate them? You said before that you wanted me to conform to my heart, but now it is my heart, my hatred has been dissolved, and I have forgiven the orcs. And they don't seem to be hurting me at the moment, so I don't want to fight them, and I'm not hostile to them anymore. β
Annelot listened to Regner's babbling, and finally just sighed faintly: "You're still too soft-hearted." β
"Nope. Regner shook his head: "I'm just too cowardly, I'm afraid of having enemies, and I don't want to set up more enemies that will hurt me and those I hold dear." So, if I try my best, I don't want to hate anyone, I guess then there won't be too many enemies. β
"There are some things that can't be wishful thinking. Annelot said softly, but Regner didn't hear her.
......
Three humans and an orc walked the Savage Plains for two weeks, and finally came to the destination of their journey, Orgrimmar, under the leadership of Clayton.
It is worth mentioning that Clayton is actually a road idiot, and despite living in the Wild Plains for decades, this guy still took the three of Regna to run for two more days. The three of Regner even had a little more contempt for this bloody god of war because of this.
"Oh, it wasn't easy to get us here, Lord Clayton. Regner looked at the orc city that had entered his eyes and sighed.
"That's not it, when Lao Tzu led the young men of the clan to fight, he often ran to the wrong place, I remember one time I wanted to fight the Black Fang Clan, but I ended up running to the Darkback Wolf Clan and had a fight inexplicably. Hey, this road idiot can be quite troublesome sometimes. Clayton also sighed.
The three humans looked at Clayton with a look of "I'm a road idiot, I'm proud", and couldn't help but increase their foreheads with their hands at the same time.
