Welcome to the world of orcs!

This continent of less than a million square kilometers is inhabited by a group of upright "animals" who have a common name - Furry, and although they are very different from humans in appearance, they can be called "humans in animal skins" in their behavior and lifestyle. This continent is almost unblocked except for rivers, so the orcs can easily go anywhere, which objectively also promotes the integration of different races of orcs. Year after year, despite the occasional crisis, this sacred land prospered day by day thanks to the efforts of the orcs.

Anyone born in this land will know the story of the portal on the continent - this so-called "portal" is located in the middle of the continent, and no one has ever known where it leads, what it is used for, or even whether it can be activated. Perhaps it was once the base of an army, and the portal was used to quickly move their army to the front line; Maybe it's some kind of transportation; Or perhaps it was just a failed attempt by those who had built it to satisfy the extravagant hopes of so-called "space-time teleportation" (which they now understand is impossible). Over the decades, this door has been opened several times, but it has not brought wealth, but disaster after disaster, so this door is also called the "door of war". But no one would have thought that when the portal was opened once and for all at once, what it brought would change the fate of the entire orc world.

On this day, the entire orc world stayed awake all night.

"The electromagnetic field around the portal is increasing dramatically!" It took several shouts from the operator to get his voice to override the sirens around him. Despite the air conditioning being turned on, the commanders standing in front of the screen felt sweaty. They kept talking, trying to dispel the restlessness and restlessness that was constantly pressing down on their heartsβ€”and it worked. After the alarm sounded a little quieter, dozens of pairs of sharp eyes continued to stare at the huge LCD screen on the wall.

"Sergeant Wu Qiming, please check all the team's equipment immediately, the portal is expected to activate in two minutes." A voice over the intercom shattered the silence around them.

"Yes, sir!" Wu Qiming replied. He clutched his rifle in his hand, and the light green glow on the gun was pointed straight at the portal. He tried to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but when he reached out in front of him, he realized that he was tightly wrapped in chemical equipment, and the sound of his breathing in the gas mask was as loud as an exhaust fan. The people around him were all wearing full anti-chemical equipment, and several cameras were also covered with protective covers, and he turned his head slightly, and the red laser from the sights on the tank battery immediately shot into his cloak.

In less than two minutes, the door frame of the portal began to glow with a dazzling blue light, and the blue light quickly spread to the hollow area of the door, and the entire portal looked as if it was covered with a layer of blue gauze. Wu Qiming felt numb all over his body, and this feeling was intermittent, which made people feel very uncomfortable, but he gritted his teeth and held on, and the fingers on the trigger felt extremely heavy.

"Something's coming!" The operator double-checked that the infrared sensing system generated very little heat when the portal was activated, which made it easy for the sensor to detect the heat source. The portal revealed the head of an orc, and the operator quickly zoomed in, and everyone was surprised to find that the head of this shape was beyond their comprehension, sometimes it looked like an antelope or a deer, sometimes it looked like a canine...... Overall, it's like a combination of many orc heads. After a while, more and more white spots appeared, at first there were about a hundred people, and by the end, the number of "outsiders" could be described as "thousands". They wriggled like maggots, and finally formed a complete human form. In front of the screen, it is clear that some of the orcs have bat-like wings, while others do not. As they approached the outside, Wu Qiming was the first to see the guns in the hands of some "outsiders".

"Who are you?" The troops in front of the portal shouted over their horns. This shout caused the "outsiders" to start a commotion.

"Lay down your weapons and follow me!" There was a voice coming from the "outsider".

"Wait, did you hear that?" Wu Qiming said on the walkie-talkie, "They seem to say 'follow me'!? ”

All the "outsiders" walked out of the portal, and it slowly closed. The gradual encroachment of darkness forced both sides to turn on their flashlights. "All outsiders, please take note, if you can understand our language, then please stop at this red line!" The horn sounded again. Several of the soldiers in the unit moved their flashlights down to illuminate a red line on the ground about 40 meters from them. The "outsiders" also obeyed the order and stopped just as they pressed against the red line. The flashlight shone on the bodies of the "outsiders", and their appearance appeared in front of everyone, including the camera, Wu Qiming wanted to say the word "divine beast", but he still endured it stubbornly.

"Who are you?" Everyone is waiting for the answer to this question.

"Allow one of them to cross the red line."

At this time, a green-skinned, winged orc wearing a cloak walked out, and Wu Qiming realized that it was not hair covering his skin, but layers of scales.

"We ......" The orc's voice was low, but powerful. He looked up and took off his hooded jumpsuit, revealing two white horns.

"We are dragons."

In this way, without warning, the species named "Dragon" came to the orc world through the portal, and their appearance undoubtedly broke the orc's perception of this portal, especially shocking the scientific community. Luckily, the orcs, after a lot of fright, also welcomed the dragon's arrival - the portal couldn't be opened again, and it was good to keep them. Dragons quickly became part of the orcs' lives. In order to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, the government established an institution for the dragons called the "Dragon-Breed Orc Diplomacy Center (Dragons' Department)" and had Howard Kivu, the green dragon who walked the red line that night, as a diplomat. His courage that night predestined him to take on the profession of diplomat, and he won the hearts of orcs and dragons as soon as he took office, not only because of his hard work or humorous personality, but also because he understood the practical problems between orcs and dragons, and worked hard to bridge the gap between them. In this way, he was loved and admired by thousands of orcs.

"We came here as outsiders, but I'm glad that the inhabitants welcomed us!" In his speech, Kivu said, "I took a moment to look at the history of the orc world and learned that you had been subjected to unprovoked aggression, and I was even worried about whether the orcs would see us as if they were facing the invaders, but you did not, but welcomed us as if we were guests." I would like to say that the dragon race is not hostile, and I believe and hope that the dragons will be integrated into this family and become an important force in the development of the orc world...... This is not only my personal wish, but must be the common wish of all orcs! His words have long been remembered by the orcs, and the heavens have not gone against his dreams, and the dragons and orcs have gradually changed from guests to family, and the orcs have lived happily with these scaly creatures, working and studying together, befriending each other, and even reaching the point of falling in love and getting married. Seeing such a thriving situation, Kivu felt very relieved. But he didn't expect that only ten years later, this prosperous situation would be broken heavily, and he didn't expect that the fuse that detonated this crisis was himself.

One morning, the sound of sirens shattered the silence around the Dragon Administration Department.

The intertwined yellow barrier added to the unease in the air, and a group of heavily armed police officers stood at the gate. Every time the lights on the roof of police cars flicker, people's hearts beat with it. The sergeant in charge of the criminal investigation task in that area, the red fox Wang Lingfeng, walked out of the police car, he crossed the separation belt, and saw that the armed policeman standing at the door did not give in the slightest, so he cleared his throat, and then took out his ID and reported his identity.

"I am Sergeant Wang Lingfeng in charge of this criminal investigation."

After speaking, the policemen moved their pace slightly, allowing Wang Lingfeng to reluctantly squeeze into the house. Several policemen on the first floor saw him and pointed to the ceiling. Wang Lingfeng nodded, slowed down and walked up the stairs. As soon as he reached the staircase on the second floor, he saw an orc who looked like a doctor walking over - it was a forensic doctor, and the few drops of bright red blood on his hands made Wang Lingfeng feel uneasy.

"What's going on here? ...... Long story short. Wang Lingfeng asked.

"Kivu was shot at and has been confirmed dead."

Wang Lingfeng chuckled in his heart, he looked at the scene of the murder, that is, the office, and immediately found a pool of red blood. He took a deep breath and walked into the office, and this time, Kivu's body was completely in front of himβ€”lying flat on the ground, his limbs wide open, and a large hole in his left chest, from which blood was still spilling. The wall behind is also sprinkled with red dots. Looking at Kivu's hideous expression, the sheriff gasped and didn't say anything more.

"Two hours ago he was shot and the bullet hit the victim in the heart and went through his back"

"Did you find any evidence?" He asked

"The killer fired a total of two bullets when shooting, one shot deflected into the wall, and the second hit the target. Judging by the warheads we found, the killer used a 7.62mm bullet and the bullet was made of sterling silver. ”

"Sterling silver?" Wang Lingfeng unconsciously looked at the window located in the southeast of the corpse, and sure enough, he found two bullet holes, and the window was covered with cracks like spider webs, as if it would be completely shattered with a slight push. At that moment, his phone rang.

"We've found the place where the crime was committed."

The so-called crime site is actually located on a construction site just southeast of the Dragon Administration Department, which has long been unfinished, but has not yet had time to be demolished. He didn't want to take the elevator, so he climbed up to the sixth floor in one go. Before he could breathe heavily, several policemen surrounded him.

"Stop, stop...... Get out of the way! Wang Lingfeng pushed them away and said, "I want to see the scene." ”

"Here." He was taken to an inconspicuous window frame. One of the police officers pulled out two small plastic bags, each containing a silver-shiny bullet casing.

"We just called up the surveillance of the perimeter." "We were all surprised that the perpetrator turned out to be a dragon," the police officer said. ”

"It's serious." Wang Lingfeng stared ahead and said, "We must deal with this matter well."

"Yes!"

Kivu's death immediately caused an uproar in the whole society, and people felt a lot of panic while mourning, and the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs was forced to close. Soon, the Criminal Investigation Department gave a more reliable account: Kivu has a huge influence, which is why he was chosen as a target, and his death will bring a huge blow to the entire orc world...... The criminal investigation work is being carried out intensively.

This incident also attracted the attention of the right wing, a major political group in the orc world, who were not very friendly to dragons in the first place, and even rejected their arrival. Now that Kivu is dead, the whole group is also in turmoil. But apparently, they don't eat the criminal investigation team's set.

"I don't think Kivu's death was just a murder, more like the trigger for something." Brown Wolf Lake, the youngest leader of the right, said, "The arrival of the dragon was originally a vision, and although they said it was not hostile, I think it may be just a cover-up." ”

"Maybe they are actually part of the previous invading forces, but now they want to trap us and make us think that they are kind, and then when we are happy and completely let down our guard, give us a fatal blow and turn the world upside down, maybe when the gun is pointed at us, we are still sleeping in bed!"

"It's been ten years, and time has already exposed their tails, and they may have completed their deployment in these ten years, and they are about to wait for an opportunity. In the past ten years, if I hadn't taken some action against the pressure, I guess the orcs would have fallen under the dragon's claws. ”

"It's time to do something real." Lake said.

Although Lake is ostensibly assisting the Criminal Investigation Department in the investigation of the case, in fact, this so-called "real measure" is actually a series of encirclement and suppression operations against the dragon, the scope is expanding more and more, and the method has changed from arrest to killing. The right wing has been given several ordinary armies after the war due to its excellent command skills in the previous anti-invasion battles, and now, the army under the right wing has begun to round up dragons everywhere, and rivers of blood are flowing everywhere they go, female dragons and baby dragons are captured, and even those orcs who try to stop the encirclement plan will be brutally killed. Everywhere the right wing went, blood flowed and people had to hide.

"Mr. Lake, why are you restarting your plan to encircle and suppress dragons?" The journalist asked.

"To rid the orc world of scourge." Lake said coldly, "Time has already proved everything, the dragon's hostility will eventually be revealed, don't wait until you hit your head against the south wall to know how to regret it, you must act now"

"But Kivu is a good dragon in everyone's mind?"

"It's just an illusion unleashed by that bastard." "The moment he takes off his mask, you'll know how stupid you are!" We can't let them turn back on us, or the world will fall into crisis again, but if we act in time, the bloodshed will only be temporary. ”

That night, Lake was standing in front of the window, looking at the raindrops slowly falling from the glass. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Why is he so annoying?" Lake cursed a few words and said, "Come in." ”

The voice of "Chief......" entered the door first, and after a few moments, the door was slammed open. As Lake expected, it was the director of the political department, Argali, who walked in.

"I advise you to stop immediately!" Larnes Road.

"How many times have you said that today? You're grinding my ears out of their cocoons! Lake responded, "Go back to sleep with your childish mind!" ”

"You have to think about it, there are also women and children among the dragon orcs, even if you want to encircle and suppress them, you have to leave them a way to live!" Larnes exclaimed, "You're violating humanity by doing this!" ”

"Humanitarian?!" Lake sneered and said, "Those children will grow up, and even if this generation of dragons dies, they will continue to invade us...... You still talk about humanitarianism to them? Larnes, you and I share the soul of the right, why don't you want to unify our thoughts with us? ”

"If you do this senseless massacre again, the rest of the continent's armies will come, do you want to regret it at that time?"

"Oh, they can't help themselves!" Lake smiled and said, "My army is recognized as the most elite in the continent, and I have the most advanced Ivaki technology group in the continent, and they dare to touch me...... Hmph, I'll gnaw them down to the bone! ”

"Then you think the dragon is the enemy, and what evidence is there for that?"

Lake's body shook for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Larnes asked again, "Are you trying to put your grudge against the dragon on the bullet?" Do you just look down on ......?"

"Enough!!" Lake slapped the table hard and shouted, "Either way, this revolution will definitely continue...... A stubborn person like you can only watch as what you want to protect is wiped out. ”

"Really?" Lanes sneered and said, "Then I'm officially out of the right wing today." ”

"You ......" Lake was furious, and he drew his pistol and aimed it at Rahnes' head.

"Chief, you ......"

"Don't call me Chief!" Lake clenched his pistol and roared, "Since you want to accompany those bastard souls, then I'll fulfill you!" ”

Feeling bad, Lanes turned and ran out the door, but it was too late for Lake to pull the trigger. With a bang, the bullet pierced his skull, and he fell to the ground without moving.

"You brought it on yourself." Lake said. When the men from outside walked in and carried Larnes' body away, and cleaned the blood from the ground, he turned his head back to the rain-soaked windows.
