Chapter 52: The Feast of Blood
Otellus was speechless and a little smug as the orcs spoke, and turned to the two distinguished guests from the elves. It's just that he didn't notice that after he described such a big picture cake in his words, none of the orc leaders on the seat looked excited, but some people secretly looked at him with hatred hidden in their eyes.
After a while, the questioning during the banquet began again.
"Otellus, you said it well, but it never came to pass, and you have been working in the land for years with your pouts, but what have you gained? It's not for nothing! ”
"Yes! Patriarch, not only did there be no harvest, but even the number of livestock raised by our own tribe was much less because there were not enough people to take care of them. ”
"Like you said, if this is a good place on the west coast now, why hasn't our tribe become strong until now, but many elders and brothers are even more difficult than before."
The orcs questioned one after another, so that the face of Otellus, who was still in high spirits just now, turned iron blue on the spot, and no one dared to refute him on the spot for a long time, let alone now, in front of these two guests from afar.
He replied,
"So what do you say? It's not because we didn't know how to do it, so I didn't just invite two elves. ”
"No, I don't mean that, Otellus!" A leopard-man almost as majestic as Otellus finally stood up from the table, it was the orc who had just questioned Otellus, he was Otellus's brother, Tbilisi Talon, and the most ferocious member of the Talon tribe except Otellus.
"I don't think you're doing it right, it's not a question of whether you invite the elves or not, it's that you're going the wrong way at all. Since you became the patriarch all these years, you have only thought about using what you have learned from humans to use in our race, but what is the result? The offerings that the elders should have had were reduced, and the orcs under your command were taken away by you, and the lowly and inferior orcs were ordered by you to eat better, and they didn't beat and scold them casually, but I didn't see how much work they did. This tribe, you have to manage it like a human being, but in the past few years, the elders of the tribe have been at a loss and busy, but the tribe has not become as strong as you said.
It's not that farming is bad. But it is not suitable for us orcs, as the saying goes, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, Doug thousands of miles ****, how the orcs in the Great Wilderness were born, what should be the natural ones, the strong men of our strong fighting race have strong combat power, and charge forward for everyone in front of them, providing protection for everyone, then we should accept the worship of the low-level orcs with peace of mind, and we orcs are born to be divided into ranks, nobles and lowly, fighting, striking iron, animal husbandry, and doing their own work. And not, as you say, being inherently equal to humans.
Let the noble leopards and the lowly lowly orcs go to the field to dig for food, just like let the rats crawl out of the hole in the ground to fight humans, it is also impossible, humans can grow food from the ground, but the orcs can't, you let the orcs who should have grabbed the blade to farm, do you think we can do a good job?
This thing should not be done at all! I see, Otellus, you have been fooled by those human things, and you have no idea what we leopard people are born to do. ”
Otellus could hear that his brother was speaking sincerely, and he was telling the truth, but at the same time he was disappointed, his brother, who should have supported him the most in the tribe, but now he was clearly on the other side, which made people's hearts cold for a while.
He looked at the elders of the tribe who had already gotten up from their seats and walked behind Tbilisi to gather together to look at him, and he already sensed the crisis: "Then you are following them to accuse me and want to take my power!" A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
"No, Otellus, I don't want to take your place as patriarch, you are the brother of Tbilisi, the most powerful warrior of the Talon Clan! He is also the most knowledgeable orc in our tribe, I don't want to take your power, I just want to restore the order that we have in the claws, so that those who should eat meat eat meat, and those who should eat grass eat grass, the Council of Elders is a tradition of our orcs for thousands of years, and it should not be slowly abandoned in the hands of your patriarch. ”
"yes, that's all?"
Otellus squeezed the words out of his teeth, believing that his brother had felt the anger in his heart.
But Tbilisi, which had the support of all the elders, did not back down,
"Also, there is one more thing, and that is that although these elves in the tent today have not made a mistake, they should not have crossed the Kampra River, and they must pay for their actions! On behalf of the Great Wasteland, I want to say to them, the orcs will never welcome them! ”
Thebesley also gritted his teeth and said these words viciously.
The orcs and elves on the continent are really two enemies, not only do the elves look down on the barbarism and rudeness of the orcs, but in turn, the orcs also look down on the elves' delicate and pretentious. For example, even though there are frequent wars on the border, the sleek human merchants can still walk around the wasteland and are welcomed by the orc nobles, but the elves and orcs are almost a death match when they meet.
Beyoncé was beside her, feeling the tense breath in the hall, it was fine just now, and before she knew it, the two of them seemed to have fallen into a dead situation, but fortunately, this task was really a ridiculous task, and inexplicably it seemed that the goal was about to be achieved before it was done, and finally it was not in vain, she said to herself in her heart.
And Otellus, the patriarch of the leopard people beside him, was the most painful at this time. The Talon Division, which was originally unprecedentedly united, and Otellus, who came back from the human race, worked hard to govern after becoming the patriarch, and indeed brought new hope to the tribe, learning to plant this matter, and indeed obtained the full support of all the tribal alliances of the leopard people, as if the light was just around the corner. It's just that I didn't expect that this kind of thing that seemed to be a promising good thing turned out to be such a result in the end.
Otellus looked viciously at his brother who strode in front of him, neither of them moved, Otellus glared at Tbilisi with his eyes, but Tbilisi just smiled back.
"I won't do anything to you, Otellus, get out of the way, my brother. I only need the two of them, and you can't be obsessed with it anymore. ”
Tbilisi pointed his big finger at the two elves behind Oetellus.
After all, Otellus has rich combat experience, he looked at the elders who followed Tbilisi and came to him, and knew that the situation was not good today, and his cronies in the account were probably all taken down, and his own soldiers outside the account have not been silent until now, so it must be more auspicious, but I don't know which of the people in this are betrayed and which ones are supporting him.
The taste of betrayal and separation is bitter, he only hates himself for being too indulgent to these people, and he didn't even find out this in advance, he just thought that he only needed to work hard to change everything, so that all people would follow him, but he didn't expect this moment, almost all of them chose to betray!
Dreams and reality, despair and remorse, anger ignited from the bottom of the volcano in the heart, and quickly rose like a flame that burned everything, almost choosing people to devour.
Otellus lowered his head in pain, as if he couldn't bear to look at it, Tbilisi thought that Otellus had given in the towel, and immediately stepped past Otellus's side, a big hand opened, and the claw blade was raised, to grab the elf Beyoncé.
Beyoncé choked and pulled out her short sword, to fight Tbilisi, she had experienced countless dangerous lives and deaths, she would never leave her fate to others, her thin shoulders were now covered by Tbilisi's open big hands, she looked so helpless, but her hands still held the short sword very tightly.
Just when Beyoncé's short sword met and was about to collide with Tbilisi's big hand, suddenly, there was a strange sound, and then Beyoncé only felt a figure shaking in front of him, and there were two loud bangs, and when he saw it again, Tbilisi's big hand stretched out to him had been broken and hung down on his side, and a hideous head turned to Oetellus at a very strange angle, and his mouth was bubbling with blood bubbles and saying:
"You! You ......"
With a bang, Tbilisi's huge body fell to the ground, unable to speak again. From his neck, there was a flutter, spurting out fountains of blood several feet high.
Tbilisi probably didn't expect that he had a gentle personality until he died, and his eldest brother, who doted on him so much, would attack him.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! You all deserve to die! A furious Otellus raised his head and let out a long, mournful howl. Then he turned into a flame and moved, breaking into the crowd of beasts on the opposite side.
At this moment, his whole person has become a real beast, the claws in his hands are opened, and a sharp blade as long as a foot and a half is popped, and in a flash, two leopard people are disemboweled, and then another big man is kicked away, and he grabs an orc with one hand, and tears his head off his torso with a twist, throws it into his mouth and chews it......
The transformed Otellus was like a demon, rushing into the crowd while fighting and screaming, Beyoncé rushed up behind him, silently followed and began to fight, no matter how you heard it, Otellus was crying hoarsely.
