Chapter 904: Extermination and Worship
Solve the orcs? It's those people who are ready to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and there will be no one left. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it has nothing to do with them, they are just passers-by, but thinking of those old and weak women and children who were cornered, Cheng Qianxun still stood up.
She stood there and watched from afar, where every now and then there were screams, mostly the peculiar screams of orcs, which resembled the frightened screams of mammals before dying, slightly less frequent than those of humans.
Hesitating whether to go over, she is just a passerby, she has already helped humans once, should she turn around and help orcs again? Don't expect orcs to "abandon evil and follow good" in the future, don't eat meat and eat plants, there are few resources here, look at those humans on horseback, one by one only has a fig leaf to block important parts, so thin that the ribs can be seen. Being able to ride a horse proves that it should belong to a good status. Even if it is a spy, it is also a kind of food that eats imperial food, and it is rare to see a hungry refugee.
If you can be hungry like this, everyone will eat people, not to mention other races, and they will eat before they can be caught.
If you help the orcs, the people here will suffer sooner or later, and you have to go. If you don't go, the current strength of the orcs will definitely not be as good as that of humans, and it will really be exterminated, because of her unintentionality, she gave the orcs a fatal blow, do you still want to ignore the innocent and weak orcs who have lost the pillars of their lives because of her...
After struggling for a long time, the other side was almost fighting, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but with the usual practice of human beings, it must only be described as a massacre.
It was as if torches had come from the woods over there, and I counted at least a few hundred. If you take a torch for every five people, there are about four or five thousand people.
"They probably finished sweeping and saw that there was also a fire here, so they came. But it's strange how there is no sound. Rudolph said softly, lay down after speaking, and stood up after listening for a while: "A little sound, not obvious." ”
Now that people are coming, let's get ready to welcome them. She thought about it for a moment and jumped up the tree.
"Cheng, what are you doing in the tree?" Regel looked up from under the tree.
"Of course play the gods, otherwise how can you coax these people?" She replied.
Sure enough, it is a large army, and four or five thousand people are nothing to Cheng Qianxun, a country with a population of one-seventh of the world, who has seen an exhibition and the number of people on the exhibition floor can reach the total population of several small European countries. But for here, probably all the troops. In the Middle Ages in Europe, the war between two city-states was actually a group of 1,200 people fighting each other at most. In ancient times, the war of the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan may have only been one or two hundred.
Except for a few on horseback, the rest of the men walked. I finally understood why so many people walked at night but did not make much noise, and their feet were wrapped in shoes made of grass, and the grass was so loose that the sound of stepping on it was much quieter, or even none. Even the horses' hooves are tied with grass or rags, and the ground is full of silvery-white trees, making it easier to step on, and the sound will be blocked by the trees in the air.
The man on the horse came in directly on the horseback, and as soon as he saw the five horses next to him, someone inside immediately shouted: "Chief, this is our horse, it must be the heavenly general who is also here." ”
The "chief" who rode the horse immediately dismounted, this place was really poor enough, even the chieftain was bare-chested, but the fig leaf around the waist was slightly larger, it should be a miniskirt made of horseskin.
The seven horsemen dismounted, knelt down with their hands raised high, and began to shout: "Thanks be to the gods, show us the way; Thank the gods for sheltering us and destroying the orc armies... ”
Standing on the tree and looking at everything below, she suddenly understood that it was the bonfire she had built in another forest that drew these people over.
And the orcs didn't put out the fire, maybe they didn't think the fire of the gods was dangerous, maybe they didn't take that into account at all. They also need fire, and there is a fire in the village where they live, but now they should put out all the fire, so that they can hide.
And the many leaders kneeling below, praying and thanksgiving, also explained this conjecture: "You have lit the light, so that we can find the remaining orcs, and finally destroy them all, and from then on this land will be peaceful and peaceful forever." ”
The land may not be peaceful forever, and it may not be long before these leaders will go to war with each other for survival.
At this time, it really feels like drinking porridge without paying attention and swallowing a dead fly. I was nauseous, but I couldn't vomit it.
"Please manifest, please manifest..." They continued to prostrate on their knees, with great reverence. The thousands of people behind him also knelt, prostrate on the ground and did not dare to move, looking down from a high place, it was very spectacular.
After begging for a while, but seeing that it was ineffective, one of the leaders whispered, "Maybe the gods are gone, or we should go too." ”
It was so innocent and simple that the other leaders stood up.
One of his subordinates said, "Since the creatures are gone, these horses are ours, so let's take them back." ”
"Of course, why else are you staying here? We've only got a few horses! One of the leaders scolded.
Or the apparition, or the horse will be ridden away... Seeing that her teammates who were also hiding in the trees were squeezing her eyebrows, she had to stand up.
But when she came out like this, it didn't fit the appearance of the gods, so she used a little mana to get some light out, and then shouted in a deep voice: "I saw it." ”
A group of people looked sideways, and a glowing "Heavenly General" wearing golden armor appeared. The effect was no less than that of ancient humans when they saw a tall, unusually tall angel with wings.
"Gods~" After someone screamed, the others immediately knelt down with their hands raised in fear, lying on the ground and shouting for the gods' blessing.
Those orcs seem to be basically out of order, and they can only resign themselves to fate, so for now, they can continue the road ahead by fooling these people and leaving the horses behind. She spoke in a long, deep voice, trying to be majestic: "The God of heaven has heard your prayers and has helped you graciously. Leave these five horses as a token of gratitude to God, and now go back to all of you, and remember, stop killing and be friendly and equal in love, so that the gods can continue to bless you. Otherwise, after death there will be judgment, and the fire will burn out the sin. ”
A fireball erupted, crashing to the ground and exploding not far in front of the leaders, splashing a small amount of dirt on their bodies.
The leaders were naturally frightened, kneeling and hurriedly agreeing, praising the gods and patting their ass.
"Go, go back, don't come back, here, wherever you can see, will be a holy place. We'll come over at any time to see how you're doing, this will be our resting place, get out of here now, let's go. "That's the only way to keep these guys from following.
I saw the leaders kneeling there, looking left and right, as if they didn't want to leave. Also, there are trees here, and there are edible tree species, and the conditions may be better. Finally snatched it from the orcs, how could it be easy to give up? As far as the eye can see, then it is possible that even the orc village will be included, and how much fat will be gone. At least that's how she understands it.
She soared from the tree, emitting a stronger light around her, and in an angry tone, "Do you want to go against God's will? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare... The leaders were so frightened that their faces changed, and no amount of mud could hide their fear. Immediately got on the horse and left with people.
Seeing them come to the middle of the two woods, several torches came out of the large army and went to the woods opposite, and soon more torches came out of the woods. The fire in the woods opposite had all been extinguished and it was pitch black.
After everyone gathered, they began to retreat to the place where they came. Perhaps in their books, or in the absence of written texts, the apparitions were recorded in the form of pictures and oral accounts passed down from generation to generation. This time, the god has golden armor, can float in mid-air, and can emit fire, which can even annihilate all the orc troops at once.
Perhaps later, the more it was said, the more evil it became, and the more it was spread, the more it changed, and the religion that belongs here was enriched and fixed in this way.
The rain of the tree species has long been thin, and from time to time there are one or two flowers, like a huge white ball of yarn, as if to remind her that this is another world, and it is more likely that it is just a dream.
She landed on the ground, and her teammates jumped from the tree.
"It's really interesting... As soon as Regel snorted hahaha, he immediately stopped, feeling that her face and atmosphere were not right.
"Go to bed early." Rudolph went to his bunk, took the mat, shook off the dirt from it, laid it out, lay down on his side, and fell asleep.
Lying on the straw mat, she couldn't settle down. Turning around, I looked at the woods opposite, but it was still pitch black, and the human troops had been gone for a long time, and there was still no fire.
Maybe they're all dead, maybe they're just scared and don't light the bonfire.
"With great power comes great responsibility... One sentence can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people, and behind the victory are countless corpses... ”
It was dawn again, and I rode my horse and set off. At this time, the roots of the trees on the ground have been burrowed into the soil, leaving only the fluffy heads to stand up in the air, looking like dandelions blooming one by one, but not completely dandelions, which is very peculiar. These seeds have to endure drought and the danger of being eaten by other animals, and only about a tiny fraction of them survive.
When she walked, she did not deliberately bypass the forest opposite, but approached. Before he arrived, he saw a corpse at the mouth of the forest, and there were traces of blood stretching from the forest all the way to the direction of the human troops.
The men took some of the corpses with them as they left, perhaps as trophies, or as rations.
It is entirely possible that although orcs eat people, people can also eat orcs. In the absence of food, what is there to eat. Even if the orcs don't look good, but they don't necessarily can't be eaten, and when you're hungry, don't talk about long legs, even if it's a bug that doesn't have long legs, has thorns, and is difficult to swallow, you still have to stuff it into your mouth and chew it squeak. It is said that in some stowaway boats, rats and cockroaches are extinct on board when there is no food.
Not knowing if there was still anyone alive in the woods, she stood in front of the woods and hesitated.
"Do you want me to go in and have a look?" Sneijder asked.
"You wait here for a while, let's go in." Gordon chimed in.
Her teammates all know her, they all understand her. At this time, her calmness even felt terrible to herself, and she said lightly: "No need, we still have our own affairs." ”
What about going in and finding one alive? In the face of these orphans and widows, what can be done, nothing can be done. Maybe you can only get a look of fear or hatred. It was she who caused all this, the demise of the entire race.
When she was leaving, she looked at the trees all over the ground, sighed slightly, and raised her hand. Half of the trees were pulled out of the soil at the same time, and one by one they were forbidden to float in the air, so beautiful... With another wave of her hand, the floating tree seeds gathered together, and then she moved them to the mouth of the forest, where they formed a half-human-high pile of seeds.
She turned her head, slammed her legs between her legs, and scolded: "Go! The horse began to walk forward obediently.
Gradually moving away from the woods behind him, what he just did was just a small amend. If the tree has been buried in the ground for a long time, it may not be edible. If there are any living orcs left, then the food should allow them to survive for a while.
Did she do the right thing or not, helping the humans and exterminating the orcs. In the eyes of humans, she is a god and a heavenly general. But to the orcs, she is a disaster, but they are afraid of her power.
This place has been turned into a holy place by her, and the so-called holy land has become a forbidden place for human beings. Even if myths lose their effectiveness, and humans begin to stop believing in them, stop sticking to traditions, and start setting foot in forbidden places, it will be a long time later. I hope that some orcs will be alive and take advantage of this time to recover.
Perhaps by that time, food will be plentiful, and humans will have this awareness, and they will be able to coexist peacefully, and the orcs will be able to continue to live. But these may just be her wishful thinking, and if in real life, Himalayan Yeti and American Bigfoot appeared, what would humans do with them?
The answer is terrible, humans will try their best to catch them, and then lock them up in the laboratory for all kinds of experiments. Merchants will do everything they can to catch them at a high price, and some mercenaries will do it in the name of explorers.
If you can catch a large and a small, it will be better and you will make more money.
There are also bloodthirsty guys who will take people, dogs, and shotguns to hunt and chase them. After killing, take a picture next to the corpse, peel off their skin, cut off their heads, dig up their bones, and proudly keep them at home as trophies.
This is humanity, terrible humanity.
Again, she began to doubt the meaning of human existence. (To be continued.) )
