Chapter Seventy-Four: The Target, the Savage Plains
"Okay, I see. Regner was silent for a moment before he spoke.
He realized that he was now starting to have a burden on him. Annelot, Cordak, Vera were the things he had to carry, and he was going to get strong enough to protect them all.
"Is this what is called responsibility?" Regner thought to himself, before he could only vaguely understand the meaning of responsibility from Erin, and then Erin disappeared, and with him what few responsibilities he had. Until now, he has realized the responsibility that adults often talk about.
There are many people who have been crushed by responsibility, but not including Regna today. Because he now feels that he is no longer a dispensable being in the world, that someone needs him, that he is no longer just a walking dead who wastes his time. There is no doubt that this feeling is new and beautiful for a Regna who has lived for himself for more than a decade.
Therefore, at this moment, Regner's heart is full of enthusiasm, and his whole body is full of energy.
Kordak didn't know Regna's determination at this time, and he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Annelot.
This time, not only Regner and Vera were surprised, but even Anne Lot, who had been paralyzed for 10,000 years, had a trace of surprise on her face.
"Miss Annelot, I apologize for my previous actions. I wasn't too impulsive before, I shouldn't have doubted you, I shouldn't have doubted the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, and I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. You were the one who saved Regner's life, and I spoke ill of you. This incident is all caused by my lack of knowledge of right and wrong, and I hope you can forgive me. I apologize and apologize for this. ”
Kordak's tone was sincere, even with a hint of remorse. He didn't expect Anne Lot to pay such a big price to save Regner. He thought that if he changed himself, although he would also choose to save Regner, but if there were still people who doubted him after this, then he Uncle Kordaq would blush and have a thick neck to reason with others and even fight hard.
So, after Regner explained how he was detoxifying, Cordak realized how much Anne Lot had been wronged at that time. He also felt compelled to apologize to Annelot for his actions.
Regner didn't know what was going on between Kordak and Annelot, and he wanted to go up and persuade something. But Vera, who was beside her, grabbed him and shook her head gently.
Vera, as a witness to the incident, also felt the need for Kordak to apologize. Not only because Kordak was at a loss, but also because Annelot was the only mage on the team. If Kordak, as the captain, misunderstands the team members and does not apologize, it will not only chill the hearts of the players, but also affect the internal harmony of the team in the future, and even cause the team to fall apart.
So Vera grabbed Regner, and Regner chose to believe Vera and remained silent.
Anne Lott shook her head as she looked at Kordak, who was bowing down.
Everyone thought that Annelot meant not to forgive Cordak for her offense. But unexpectedly, Anne Lot continued: "I never had a grudge about what happened at that time, at that time you were concerned about Regner, and it was normal for you to be a little out of control. And I didn't suffer anything from it, so you don't need my understanding. ”
Anne Lot's words are so hard that people can't figure out whether Anne Lot's words are angry or serious. For a while, Kordak didn't get up, and it wasn't okay if he didn't get up, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing.
But fortunately, Regner knew a little bit about Annelot, and he knew that the girl could put on her own disguise when facing strangers, and she had good communication skills. But when it comes to really confronting someone, Anne Lot is actually a withdrawn girl who is not good at talking. Anne Lot's ability to say such things was undoubtedly from her heart's content.
"Well, Boss, Anne said that, don't insist on it. Come to think of it, with Anne's character, she wouldn't tell a lie. Regner winked at Annelot's envoy as he played the round, and asked the girl to say something.
Anne Lott paused for a moment, and then realized that what she had just said was not very appropriate, so she continued: "Mr. Cordak, I really don't blame you for what happened last time. And it's a good thing for us that you care so much about the players. It's just that I hope you will be more sensible in the future, after all, you are the core of the squad, and your impulsiveness will put the whole squad in danger. ”
"Okay, I take your suggestion. Kordaq replied earnestly.
After that, the four of them discussed the adventure to the orc territory again, and then had a meal together.
Over the next few days, Kordaq and the others began to prepare for their next adventure.
Although Regner has become a disciple of Virles, only a few people know about his identity due to Ragner's safety. Therefore, the name of the member of the miscellaneous department still hangs on his head. Regner also took advantage of the days of repairs to go to Solam's for a few days to work.
It is worth mentioning that since Anne Lot's identity has been thoroughly revealed to the Kordaq team. So she didn't pretend to do anything anymore, and after telling Kordak her residential address, she stayed at home with her head down for the past few days, and no one knew what she was doing.
Time flickered and it was another half a month, and during this time, Regner finally completed the task arranged by Solam. Kordak and Vera had done a lot of preparation, and when everything was ready, they informed Annelot, and they decided that they would start their next adventure in two days.
......
Due to years of isolation, most humans are unaware of what has happened to the orcs in recent years. And with this large-scale invasion of humans, the mystery of the northern orcs has been gradually revealed.
The Orc Territory in the north was originally known as the Savage Plains, which was originally a barren land of extreme barbarism and chaos. Because the orcs there are all tribal clans, large and small, they are independent, fighting each other, and plundering each other.
The original extreme chaos is likely to provoke foreign enemies, but due to the orcs' super high fertility and extremely strong survivability. So that humans are too lazy to invade for the sake of such a dry land. On the contrary, many scattered orc tribes once came south to the human realm, causing several orc invasions.
But the chaotic and chaotic era of the orcs came to an end with the appearance of an orc.
His name is Olgarok, Olgarok Earthshaker. He was originally a young shaman of the Earthshaker Hammer tribe, but he showed wisdom and courage far beyond others in the tribe's conquests. With his exploits, Olgarok quickly amassed a reputation in Earthshaker. After the death of the previous tribal leader, Olgarok succeeded the next leader without any suspense.
At first, many people doubted that the young orc was capable of leading the tribe, but then what happened made those rumors disappear automatically.
Olga Roc showed amazing leadership skills after becoming the chief. He used his wits and foresight to quickly grow the Earthshaker. After that, Algarok led the Earth-Shaking Hammer to fight everywhere, sweeping across the Savage Plains in just four years, completely unifying the chaotic orcs and establishing a vast orc empire. And he himself became the first Great Chief of the Orc Empire.
Due to the perennial civil war, the fledgling empire was extremely fragile, so Algalok kept his orcs under strict control in the years that followed, forbidding them to do anything that might provoke humanity. However, due to Baror's instigation, a war eventually broke out between humans and orcs.
Humans invade suddenly, and the orcs rush to meet the battle. But compared to the stragglers, the orc's uniform army is fierce. In the first few days, a large number of weak human adventurers were swept away by the orc army, and few people became rich for a while, but many died like stars.
The humans who suddenly realized that they also took measures to deal with it, and they formed a large mercenary group of hundreds or even thousands of people from small safari squads. Although these improvised mercenary groups are not very disciplined, due to their relatively high individual strength, they also give humans the strength to fight.
On the other hand, although Algarok was angry at the human invasion, he did not dare to use all the power of the empire to sweep away these human invaders. He knew that if he did this, he would probably completely anger the human race, and if the four major forces were provoked to go all out to carry out an organized northern expedition, the orc empire would undoubtedly be wiped out under this shock. Compared to the nine city-states of humanity, the nascent orc empire seemed so thin and weak.
As a result, Orgarok had no choice but to give up a small amount of land in the Savage Plains and send orc warriors to stop the human invaders in that area. This made the big chief feel that the orc empire he had built with all his heart had become a sparring partner for humans, and he was not aggrieved for a while.
Of course, while most of the humans have chosen to form mercenary groups to invade the Savage Plains, there are still quite a few powerful elite squads that choose to go it alone.
The team led by Kordak is one of the representatives, the average level of the seven-level squad, plus two perverts with attribute abilities, especially the addition of Annielot, which has almost doubled the overall strength of Kordak's team. Although they didn't dare to provoke a large orc patrol of hundreds of people, they could easily eat an orc squad that was five or six times larger than themselves.
In this way, Kordak led his three teammates to carefully wander the wild plains, constantly harvesting the lives of the orcs. They would return to Meteor City every once in a while, exchange the gains from this battle for money, repair for another half a month, and then enter the Savage Plains again.
Fight, rest, rest, fight. The days went on and on, and the bounty of the Eyes of the Mystic never stopped. In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and after such a long reward, human beings have strengthened their belief in making money in addition to being shocked by the terrible financial resources of the mages.
In the past two years, Regner has gradually become accustomed to this life of fighting and adventure, and in the past two years, he has accumulated considerable wealth. And more importantly, as he never stops fighting, the potential of the shadow dancer within him gradually awakens. The thin, thin boy grew up at an alarming rate.
