Chapter 36: Orcs, Never Be Slaves!
Crimson Moon!
"Royal bloodline, orc king!"
The remnants of the young orcs are boiling, and the legendary royal bloodline has awakened! Everyone fell to their knees involuntarily, including Segro, who was already stunned.
"Orres, the king of the orcs!"
Oris was bathed in blood-red light, his eyes were full of war, but his body trembled slightly, as if he was suffering greatly.
Suddenly, the blood moon on his forehead shone brightly. In mid-air, a hazy blood-colored crescent moon slowly emerged, emitting a faint blood-colored light.
At this time, the blood-colored light on Aures's body surged violently, and his entire body became bigger and bigger, reaching a height of ten meters! That majestic body is like an ancient demon god!
At this time, the blood moon on the top of the mine became more and more condensed, and beams of blood-colored light shone in all directions.
Shrouded in blood, the fire demon let out a piercing wail, but he couldn't move at all.
Staring at the blood moon in the sky, Oreis raised his head to the sky and roared, and the invisible momentum erupted, but one by one the fire demons were like candles in the cold wind and instantly extinguished, and pieces of flame stones fell to the ground.
The orc boys were also trembling and staggering from the oppression of the huge momentum.
This is our king!
Creak!
The piercing howl sounded again, and deep in the mine, a mighty army of fire demons swarmed in, like a burning sea of fire rolling in.
"Let's go!"
The desolate voice seemed to come from a distant desolate land, straight into the soul.
"It's Oris who reminds us!"
The orc boys instantly woke up and rushed towards the exit of the mine in groups.
Segro's face turned pale, he clutched the hammer, and whispered as he ran, "I'm not running away, I'm in a hurry to go back and report the news!" ”
As one of the best orc boys, he couldn't tolerate the cowardice of running away, but he also knew that this level of combat was no longer something he could interfere with.
It's not the farthest I've ever run, but it's the hardest.
Running out of the mine, the Dark City is close at hand. Segro had already seen the altar built for the rite of passage, and he had seen the bustling clansmen around the altar, and he had seen the orc patriarch in the middle of the clan-
Thain!
"Hahaha! The first one to come back was Segro! ”
"I've been optimistic about him for a long time!"
"No, how did he come back empty-handed? What about ores? ”
As if sensing that something was wrong, the crowd parted, and the orc patriarch Sean walked out, his brows furrowed, and his blood-red eyes stared straight at Segro, "Segro, what's going on?" ”
"Father!" Segro threw himself into Sein's arms, tears streaming down his face.
Sein's face was gloomy, and he said sternly: "Call me Patriarch!" Also, warriors of the orc race, there are no tears, you have insulted your blood! ”
"Yes, Father...... Patriarch! ”
Segro took a deep breath and slowly knelt down, telling him about the invasion of the Fire Demon and the awakening of the Oris bloodline.
"Bloodline Awakening, Crimson Moon? That's impossible! Patriarch Sean categorically denied, "The Orc Blood Moon Royal Clan all fell in the Red Moon Valley a thousand years ago!" ”
"Patriarch, what I said is true, and now the blood-moonized Oris is blocking the fire demon in the mine!" Segro was a little apprehensive in his heart.
What's going on? It's been a thousand years, and the orc clan has finally appeared as a king, shouldn't the clan celebrate? Why are the people a little afraid?
The orcs were silent.
They knew that in the legends of the orcs, there had always been two major royal families, the Blood Moon Royalty and the Dawn Sun Royalty. The Yaosun royal family has long been wiped out in history, and the orcs have always been led by the Blood Moon Royal Clan, and in the holy war thousands of years ago, in order to cover the retreat of the orcs, the Blood Moon Royal Clan and the enemy died together, and fell in the river valley not far from the Birkas Mountain, hence the name of the Red Moon River Valley.
Since the Blood Moon Royal Clan had all been killed thousands of years ago, how could Oris still be able to awaken his bloodline? Is it the favor of the orc gods? Or is it a human conspiracy?
And most importantly –
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a continuous and violent explosion in the Undercity, and the dazzling light of the fire was fleeting, and the black smoke of the explosion made the Undercity even darker.
"It's black powder! What did those damn humans do! The patriarch of Sein was shocked and looked at the watchtower dozens of meters high at the gate of the city, "Kurir, what's going on?" ”
"Patriarch, except for the residential areas close to us, there have been large explosions in other areas, and the weapons depot, the war readiness depot, including our granary, have been blown up!"
"No, it won't! No, it won't! Patriarch Theon fell to the ground and muttered in disbelief, "They will keep their promise!" ”
At this time, the other orc boys also fled back one after another, and they were all embarrassed and more or less injured. Of the more than 100 orc boys who have been trained, less than 50 have returned!
"The fire demon has invaded, and the Undercity has been attacked. Damn it! It's all a trap of humanity! Captain Kuril roared, "What a bullshit agreement, despicable human! ”
All the little orcs who have not yet reached adulthood are puzzled, what does this have to do with humans? Aren't humans friends with orcs? Are they the ones who buy our black iron ore with brown bread?
All the adult orcs looked sad, and finally, the Patriarch of Seon spoke with a sad face: "Now is the time, it is time for you to know the truth, a truth that will not be opened to you until the rite of passage!" ”
The truth? What truth?
The little orcs looked at each other with a hint of fear in their doubts.
"A thousand years ago, we orcs lived in the Dragonbone Wilderness in the western part of the Demon Beast Mountains for generations. Until the outbreak of the Holy War, the orcs were defeated by the humans and driven out of the Dragonbone Wilderness, and our royal family died in the Red Moon River Valley. With hundreds of thousands of orc warriors killed in battle, the remaining tens of thousands of orcs became captives of humans. ”
"The Human Empire has exiled us to Mount Birkas, and the promise of the Empire is that when the black iron of Mount Birkas is fully mined, the orcs will be respected and free by the Empire."
"That's right, since the first year of the Bright Calendar, the orcs have been enslaved by the Empire for thousands of years."
"Orcs, just slaves to humans!" After saying this, Patriarch Theon's voice was hoarse.
Slave?
The little orcs were stunned, and their cheerful and bright world collapsed in an instant.
Segro clenched his fists, his nails embedded in his palms, and blood fell to the ground drop by drop.
Are we all slaves? What is Undercity? A city of slaves? So what have I worked so hard for? Be a slave chief?
Segro stood up suddenly, as if thinking of something.
"Kuril! These so-called truths, Ores did not know for a long time. Segro's eyes were blazing, staring straight at the orc captain.
Kuril didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
No wonder! No wonder! Segro thought back to Orris' every move.
"That's it!"
Patriarch Sean suddenly spoke, and his hoarse voice sounded again, "The humans have betrayed us, the Undercity has been destroyed, all orcs, set off immediately and head to the Scorching Canyon!" ”
"Patriarch, fight with them!"
"You can't disgrace the will of the orcs!"
After being teased for thousands of years, the orcs can no longer bear the fighting spirit rising in their bones.
"Bastard!" The Patriarch of Thine roared, "Do you want the orcs to be exterminated? ”
Oh, yes! It's come to this point, what do orcs do to fight humans!
They looked back at the Undercity, at the thousand-year-old home of the orcs, with tears and reluctance.
From today onwards, the orcs are on the run again.
Fear! Grievance! Unwilling! Wrath!
All kinds of negative emotions erupted, and Segro suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted-
"Orcs, never be slaves!"
All the orcs stopped, and began to repeat the phrase in a whisper, repeating, roaring with all their might—
Orcs, never slaves!
