Chapter 285: The Princess and the Dragon 12
The caravan was not small, large and small, with more than a dozen vehicles, most of which were covered with cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Dinah didn't care about what the caravan was transporting, and the head of the caravan intentionally or unintentionally separated Dinah's carriage from those vehicles, and Dinah didn't take the initiative to ask anything in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
At this time, Dinah found that the cloth on the outside of a car had been torn, and when the wind blew, a corner was lifted, and it seemed to be a cage inside, and Dinah vaguely saw a face flashing.
In the hazy moonlight, Dinah couldn't really see it, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, but was stopped by the guards guarding nearby.
"What's in there?"
Dinah's question made the young team member a little embarrassed, he looked at Dinah's beautiful face, hesitated for a moment, and whispered with a red face: "Nothing special, just some slaves." ”
Dinah is no stranger to the slave, and there are many slaves in the Duchy of Purin, some of whom are prisoners of defeated countries, some of whom are sold because they can't survive, and some of whom are of unknown origin.
This is a phenomenon that exists throughout the continent, and Dinah has never thought of changing anything, so it is not uncommon for caravans to transport slaves.
It's just that Dinah always feels that something is wrong, but in the face of the guards who are shy but refuse to say a few words, Dinah has no intention of embarrassing him.
When she got back into the carriage, Dinah was still thinking back to what she had just seen.
After a moment, she suddenly let out a small exclamation.
"What's wrong?"
Dinah cautiously looked out the window for a moment, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, she leaned closer to Xingyun and whispered, "March, I just seemed to see something other than a human face." ”
"What's that?"
"Ears!"
Afraid that Xingyun wouldn't understand, Dinah also stretched out two hands above her head and moved, "It's ears like kittens!" ”
Cat ears?
"March, do you think those are the legendary orcs?"
Orcs, one of the former rulers of the Elad Continent, but because of their rough and reckless personalities, and in addition to the wise men in the clan, they generally have low dual merchants, even if their combat power is super strong, their reign is very short.
Compared with the dynasty established by the dragons and high elves, it can be said that it was short-lived, and it was soon replaced by humans, and those orcs were also driven by humans into the desert and deep mountains.
Now, hundreds of years later, other races are becoming less and less common on the continent, but they have not disappeared completely, and they often appear in some hidden places, but most of them have been reduced to auction items or slaves.
It is very popular among the upper nobles to raise orc girls, but nowadays pure-blooded orcs are relatively rare, and most of them are mixed-race orcs who don't know how many generations have been mixed.
Although Dinah had never seen an orc, she had heard a lot of descriptions of orcs, and she felt that what she had just seen must be an orc.
Xingyun had observed the caravans, thanks to the dragons' keen sense of smell, two of which she could smell alive, but she didn't expect that the orcs were locked inside.
"It should be."
"Where did these orcs come from? Did they take it from the orcs dwelling? ”
It's no wonder that they have been isolating them and these vehicles, presumably because they don't want them to find anything.
Dinah whispered to Xingyun about the orc girls she had just discovered, not knowing whether to save them.
She didn't know what was going on, and in the brief history of the continent she had learned, the orcs were described as a brutal, aggressive, and ignorant race that had provoked several wars and expelled them with great human and material resources.
But soon Dinah didn't have to worry about it, because it didn't take long for the caravan to be attacked.
The first to attack the caravan was a group of third-order sharp-billed manticores, although these rats were not of high rank, their tails were poisonous, and there were many of them, causing a lot of trouble for the caravan.
Xingyun took Dinah out of the carriage station at the very edge, she didn't make a move, but raised her eyes to look into the depths of the forest.
Dinah didn't say anything, and from time to time she turned her head to look at the car where the orcs were kept, and saw that the sharp-billed manticores had completely bypassed the two cars.
"Look, March!"
Dinah took Xingyun's hand and motioned for her to look over there.
Xingyun is not surprised by this result, humans may not be able to hear it, but Xingyun can hear a certain regular sound coming from a distance.
These rats are commanded, and they are supposed to be here to save their companions.
The caravan should have calmed down after a brief panic, and a fire mage made a move, and patches of flames appeared in the night, leaving only a scorched black everywhere they went.
But just as the caravan was gradually returning to order, arrows were shot out of the woods!
"Ahh
An arrow pierced the eye of one of the adventurers, and he screamed, and the weapon in his hand accidentally slashed at a companion next to him.
A succession of arrows disrupted the entire team, and each arrow appeared in a different direction, making it difficult to guard against.
At this time, several demonic beasts of different levels rushed out from different angles, and the target was exactly where the caravan leader was, but they were quickly stopped.
Despite the successive attacks, the strength of the caravan was not low, and the person in charge was surrounded by all the vehicles loaded with items in the middle, surrounded by escorts and adventurers, and it was difficult to rush in to save people.
And so far no one has appeared, so the head of the caravan is not in a hurry at all.
Xing Yun glanced at the depths of the forest again, thought about it, put away the jade pendant that hid the aura on her body, and then released her powerful aura towards the group of green horse beasts pulling the vehicle.
"Shhhh
The group of green horse beasts, which had not been much afraid under the attack of the scorpion-tailed rat, suddenly panicked, and all the green horse beasts ignored the coachman's appeasement, spread their legs and began to run outward, rushing away the original iron bucket-like encirclement from the inside!
The person in charge was also thrown out of the carriage, but fortunately, he was supported by the guards who had been following him, so he didn't fall too ugly.
He looked at the green horse beast that fled in all directions with the caravan's belongings, and the whole person was so anxious that he almost fainted.
He pointed in several directions and shouted hoarsely, "Hurry up, hurry up and chase those cars!! If you can't catch up, don't give me back!! ”
This is going to run away, and he simply don't go back, he can't be torn apart by the master's house when he goes back!
And there are a few things that the adults have asked for!
The change happened so fast that everyone didn't know what was happening, and in the blink of an eye, all the carriages disappeared into the night, and there was not a single one left!
