[Priest's Desk - Meeting Room]

[What, someone is missing again]

Diego, the captain of the defense team, slapped his palms on the table and his eyes widened with rage.

[I've been investigating this matter since 20 years, and it hasn't been solved yet!?]

Adjutant Aisha bowed her head

[I'm very sorry, we don't have enough manpower, the village is... 】

[I don't want to hear explanations!I've heard enough!]

Diego's mane stood upside down on his back, revealing two canine teeth, and he was so angry that he waved his hand to punch the adjutant.

---The moment the patriarch's hand touched him, Diego's expression immediately softened.

[Darkness is coming, we can't afford to lose anything now]

The mouth under the huge goatee said slowly, and his eyebrows seemed to cover most of his face.

[I heard their whispers last night, the enemy is waiting in the dark, they are near us],

[Are we just sitting still?]

Another asked.

[Fight with them! The men of the orc tribe can be ten with one, and they don't want to defeat us easily]

The patriarch sighed

[A hundred years have passed, we have just sprouted, and the empire has plundered for nearly a thousand years, and it is no longer something we can compete with]

[I only hope that the bloodline of the beast clan can continue]

[Patriarch!]

Suddenly, a young voice reprimanded, and everyone turned their heads, it was Mai Cha, the captain of the Mai family's archery team.

[Although we are not very strong, but we are not weak either, can't we unite with other tribes to resist their attacks]

[Captain, why are you shouting here, blast me out!]

[Hey, the estrangement between the beast tribes is not a day, it is because of prejudice that we are separated from each other]

The patriarch sighed,

[At the beginning, we blamed each other, but we couldn't accept the fact that our homeland was dying, and chose not to get along with each other]

[Until now, life and death are at stake, but I can't even find help]

[Now, we have the only way]

The crowd looked up at the patriarch.

。。。。。。

After a while, the patriarch led everyone to the priest's table, and held up a simple staff more than a foot long, and in an instant, the staff seemed to have life, and the staff was shining brightly.

It was as if an elf was whispering in his ear.

【Staff of Life】

Everyone got up and leaned in to see what was going on.

[Is it made of the Tree of Life?]

Someone asked.

[No], [this is only a branch of the tree of life]

The patriarch slowly opened his eyes and continued

[But it has the power to make our entire race flourish]

The patriarch stepped forward and said in an old voice

[When I was very young, the Second Great War of the Ancients had already begun, and even my grandfather didn't know when that battle began]

[The protracted battle brought boundless fear and calamity, and in the end, we orcs were defeated, and the tree of life was burned by the Lyon Empire]

[It was a desperate fire, and we tried our best to extinguish it, but we could only watch the flames burn into the sky]

[Our last remaining orcs were displaced with the seeds of the Tree of Life, escaped the pursuit of the Empire and came to the Savage Swamp, planting this last seed]

[The staff in my hand was given to me by my mentor at that time, and it was created from the branches of the tree of life]

[The teacher said to me that where there is a tree of life, it is our home, and now, our village has a history of 100 years, and it is time to bring out new seeds

Sent it]

With that, he slowly turned around and disappeared into the curtain.

Aisha beside her stepped forward

[Before the start of the conference, we will test the new members of this year's priesthood as usual.]

[Faction classification according to different attributes, men and women, and potential, they will go to different squads]

[Again, the priests will be divided into five squads: bear, eagle, wolf, deer and root, and the first four squads will ensure the basic survival and safety of our tribe]

[And this fifth team, the root team, is responsible for the reproduction of our orc race!]

There was a commotion among the onlookers, who had never heard of the name of the new squad.

A scar-faced young man in a green cloak asked

[So, what are the requirements for entering the root team]

Aisha stared at him as if she were looking at her prey, and after a moment she slowly replied

[If you want to enter the root team, you must be the best of the best, have strong strength, and you must be a young man and woman with healthy birth ability]

[Although we have survived in this wild wilderness for hundreds of years, according to reliable sources, the Empire has become aware of our settlements]

[Therefore, we must send our own colonial teams to other continents to save the spark of life!]

[Now, please have the younger generation this time!]

With the cheers of the crowd, the new generation was surrounded and walked onto the altar.

Maicha was not far away at this time, busy searching for the beautiful figure in the crowd, however, she was talking to Groot beside her at the moment.

[Boy, you don't want to pass this test] Mai Cha said coldly.

[Jupiter, you drink this bottle of age-reducing potion, I will arrange for you to duel him]

The man who took the potion, named Jupiter, was a little rascal, and he owed Maicha a favor before, and now Maicha promised him that as long as he completed this task,

Not only did he help him join his own team of archers, but he also gave him thirty pieces of silver as a reward.

[It's the dog cub who robbed you of your good match, I also hate this kind of person the most, my wife also ran away with others back then, I understand this taste]

[It turns out that you still have a wife]

Maicha laughed,

[There are women like you like this kind of goods, after you were injured back then, that thing won't work, hahaha]

The sarcastic Maicha did not pity him, and in his opinion it was just a transaction.

[Hmph]

Jupiter snorted, poured the potion down, and then wrapped his black turban

[It seems that we are no different]

He said.
