Chapter 294: Riot
The girl's name was Yelia, and although she was not very old, she was very familiar with the city of Candia.
There are not many scenery in Candia City, that is, some sculptures with the style of the Orc Empire and the large magic timer upstairs of the library in the center of the city can be seen, and the other so-called scenery is average, but for the sake of the little girl's very hard introduction, Hathaway still generously led her to a hearty lunch, and gave her ten silver carats.
"Be careful not to be seen." Hathaway told that such a little girl, if it was known that she had such a 'huge amount of money', something would definitely happen.
"Thank you, Miss! Can I use it to buy some food to send home? Yelia asked, a little apprehensive.
"Is there anyone else in your family?" Bi Lin. Hegel frowned slightly, in her opinion, how could a little girl be allowed to come out and live outside in an almost begging way if there were still adults in the house?
It seems to be feeling Bilin. Hegel's displeasure, Elijah was a little uneasy, but for a moment did not know how to say it.
"This young lady, the home that this child is talking about is just an abandoned yard with a dozen orphans about her size living in it." A middle-aged man next to him who looked a little kind suddenly interjected.
Bi Lin. Hegel's face immediately softened, she turned her head to look at Hathaway, and when she saw that she was nodding slightly, she beckoned her to call her men and ask him to prepare a large amount of food to follow Yelia to the orphans...... Of course, Hathaway wouldn't give her much money. That would be fatal for the orphans.
"Hathaway, are you going to bring them back?" Bi Lin. Hegel asked.
On occasions when there are many people outside, they call each other by their names so as not to be too public. After all, Zimbwe was too close to Kasef to make a fuss and let some people know about her whereabouts.
"Yes, these children can survive in society with an extremely strong will, if they are given the right guidance and conditions. Their future prospects are sure to be better than most of their peers. Hathaway replied.
In the Cordillera collar. A special institution has been formed to take care of the orphans who are wandering from place to place. However, this agency is secret and is in the hands of the intelligence agencies. These orphans will become the core personnel of the Cordillera territory in the future, and if Hathaway's actions are known by those who are interested, it is very likely that they will be arranged in advance. Bring in some people who have been treated by them.
"You nobles are so hypocritical. In the name of doing good. But with their own little calculations, it's a pity that these orphans still can't escape your calculations! "Bilin. Hegel muttered softly.
"First, your Hegelian family is actually from an aristocratic background. Don't always try to get rid of yourself; Second, if these orphans don't meet me, their future will probably be even more miserable, and with my help, they have a more exciting stage, as for ...... Hehe, there's always a price to pay for what you want, and I'm one of the few lords who can pay them almost the same price, don't I? ”
Rumble~~
There was a sudden loud bang in the distance, as if a bomb had been detonated, and then the sound of buildings collapsing in the distance could be heard, and the pedestrians outside also made a panicked sound.
"Sir, do you know where this is coming from?" Bi Lin. Hegel looked out the window for a moment, and then looked at the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
"It should be...... The area around the slave trading market, it can't be a riot of orcs imprisoned in the slave trading market, right? Ah! The two young ladies, the place where the little girl lives is near the slave trade market, there is a good chance that the ......"
The middle-aged man didn't finish his words, Hathaway and Bilin. Hegel had already jumped out of the window...... It's really hard for Hathaway, she wears a dress, and she has to be easy to move around, and she doesn't have to go naked, which is really a test for her.
……
In a dilapidated courtyard, nearly two dozen young, ragged children were burping with satisfaction, and their thin little faces showed satisfied looks.
"Sister Yelia, how nice it would be if we could eat every day?" A little girl said with a look of hope on her little shiny face.
"Dia, there will be such a day." Yelia rubbed the little girl's hair lovingly.
Although she herself is only about ten years old, among the boys and girls in front of her, she seems to be their backbone.
However, just as they were happy, a sudden change occurred, and a loud noise was heard in the northeast corner of the courtyard. Rumble! Rumble! The deafening roar rang out continuously, instantly spreading to every inch of Candia City.
The slave trading market is a very distinctive place in Candia City, and many people will come to the slave market to take a turn when they come to Candia City, whether they buy slaves or not. Although the Ostiga Empire forbade the slave trade, the decree was targeted - it had no effect on the Orc Empire. The slave market in Candia was a special place to deal with orcs captured in war. But later, in addition to the orcs who were captured in the war, there were many troops or mercenary groups operating around the orc empire, capturing a large number of orcs to trade. Among these orcs, there are different types that can meet different needs - especially female orcs are more concerned.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, the orcs hate this slave market in Candia City, there have been many slave market riots in history, so when Yelia heard the direction of the voice, his face immediately turned white, jumped up and said loudly: "Orc riot, go away!" Keep up with me! ”
Coincidentally, Yelia was able to think of Hathaway at this time. Every time the orcs rioted, it would bring bloodshed to the city of Candia, especially the deaths and injuries of civilians, and no one cared about them at all. And the two noble girls I met today gave Yelia a very warm feeling, especially the young lady with the sword, who seemed to be very powerful.
At this time, the slave market was already in chaos, and this riot seemed to be very organized, and the rioting orcs were quickly given weapons. The incident happened suddenly, and the guards of the market were stopped by some high-level orcs, and gradually there was a tendency to be irresistible. The people who were able to shop at the slave market were all wealthy people, and they were all in a great panic at the moment. Those who are protected by guards can be stronger, and those who suffer the most casualties are those who are not protected by guards.
"Human, go die!"
A minotaur picked up a thick wooden beam, and with a 'poof', smashed a man's head, and in a scream, the wooden beam slammed horizontally, knocking several frightened people to the ground. Beside him, dozens of orcs of different races were slaughtering, and most of the guards were able to deal with ordinary hooligans and thieves, and most of these orcs were warriors.
"Sister Yelia, wait for me!"
A little girl shouted with a pale face, looking back as she shouted, and several of the boys who followed her were also panicked, moving close to the walls of the surrounding buildings, but they were not knocked down by the fleeing people.
"Don't panic, I won't leave yours behind." Yeria's table was quite good, and she forced herself to say calmly: "Let's hold hands, don't separate......"
In the distance, a police whistle sounded, and the city defense army began to move...... Not only that, but the walls were also on guard, and the mages defending the city had already ascended the city to avoid being raided by the orcs, and then the lord of the city assigned troops to come to the slave market to suppress the rebellious orcs.
The screams and the smell of blood undoubtedly became the catalyst for fear and panic, and some of the people who had remained calm immediately joined the fleeing procession. The person in front fell, and the person behind continued to flee towards the door. Crying, screaming and screaming.
"Ah~"
A boy who was following Yelia suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and a piece of wooden stick that flew from nowhere hit his calf, and the leg bone immediately deformed.
"Sammy, don't be afraid, let me see." Yelia hurried over and helped the boy to sit on the ground.
The lower leg must have been broken, and Yelia couldn't do anything now, she quickly glanced around, and saw a huge statue in front of the building next to her, Yelia immediately said: "Let's go, let's go to that corner and hide for a while, they won't notice us." ”
……
Ahead was the slave market, where the smell of blood and screams were heard from time to time, and both commoners and nobles were running through the streets, and they were in chaos. Upon hearing the news, the city guards and the market guards began to kill the rioting orcs, and they did not leave a single living mouth.
Hathaway and Bileen. Hegel had already rushed to a street corner close to the slave market.
They stopped, searching the crowd for Yelia's whereabouts.
"Look there, sir." Bi Lin. Hegel suddenly screamed, pointing ahead and whispering.
From their vantage point, they saw five or six orcs flash out of the side door of the slave market and walk towards a carriage.
"Damn orcs!"
Hathaway muttered a sentence and greeted Birling. With a roar, Hegel rushed towards the orcs.
Although she didn't look at the people who kept slaves, it was very likely that these ghostly orcs were the culprits of this riot, and they must not be allowed to slip away like this.
The orcs had apparently seen the two girls running towards them, and one of them, the Leopard Orc, quickly pulled a short bow from behind his back, drew his arrow, and aimed it at the target that was getting closer and closer. (To be continued......)
