The Orc Wasteland, a nameless barren mountain.

Halfway up a hill surrounded by woods, there was a small orc camp.

It was impossible to tell which orcs the camp originally belonged to, because there was no more orcs in the entire camp, and the magpie's nest dove occupied the Terran soldiers of the seventh squadron.

Silverhorn stags were grazing in a pen in one corner of the camp, and the soldiers practiced their martial arts in the open space in front of the camp. Even if it was only a short break, Arthur did not relax the cultivation of every warrior.

Arthur crossed his shoulders and watched every soldier's movements, and now every punch and kick he threw could be a life-saving action in the next moment of battle.

"Will you go out for a walk with me?" a pleasant voice sounded behind him.

"Something?" Arthur turned back, Arya looking at him with large, watery eyes.

"I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to go around casually. Arya lowered her head, blushing slightly.

Although she has been fighting for days, Arya, who is the Priest of Light, is still spotless, but her face is slightly pale.

Looking at the slightly haggard Arya, Arthur suddenly felt unbearable.

The days of breaking into the orc wasteland were indeed too bitter, sleeping in the open all day, not being able to take a shower for several days in a row, sometimes not being able to eat a hot meal for several days, and even stopping to rest or even sleeping could not completely relax. This is orc territory, and battle can break out at any moment, and every soldier in the squadron must be on their toes at all times.

After all, he and his soldiers were men, covered in sweat and blood, and slept as if they fell to the ground. But Arya was a girl after all, and within a few days of entering the barracks, she risked her life to follow the Seventh Squadron deep into the Orc Wasteland, and this kind of suffering was not something a girl could endure at all.

The problem of urinating, which can be solved by a man as soon as he turns around, is a big problem for Alya, for which the girl rarely drinks water even during the day.

From beginning to end, Arya never complained, every soldier saw her smiling face, and the healing ball of light on the battlefield fell on the soldier almost immediately after he was injured. It is because of the presence of Arya in the team that the soldiers have the courage to fight with the orcs 100%, because they know that as long as they are not hit by the orcs, Arya can save their lives.

If Arthur is the spiritual leader of all the fighters of the 7th Squadron, Aliyah is the spiritual backing of the soldiers.

Arthur accompanied Arya silently along the mountain road, Arya lowered her head, and Arthur did not speak.

Arthur had almost no experience alone with girls, and held back for a long time before he said, "You've been suffering lately." ”

Arya nodded and mumbled, and Arthur didn't know what to say later.

Arya suddenly stopped, looking at Arthur silently.

Arthur's face turned red at the sight, and his eyes looked evasively into the woods beside the road.

Suddenly, there was a burst of bad laughter in the woods.

"Who?"

"Captain, I, Monkey, I'm on the sentry, you two go on. ”

"Get out of here. Arthur scolded in annoyance, but turned his head to meet Arya's smiling gaze.

"You're so strange, so shy when you look at me, so fierce when you look at those orcs, which is the real you?" Arya asked an inexplicable question.

Arthur thought seriously for a while before he slowly said something that seemed completely unrelated, "For tens of thousands of years, the human race has been arguing about a question, but there has been no answer, that is, human nature is evil or human nature is good?"

Arya blinked wide-eyed as she waited for Arthur's answer.

"In my opinion, there is no good or evil in human nature, and if people want to survive and grow, they must obtain resources from the outside world, which is the nature of life, and it should not be defined by good and evil. The hatred of the human race and the orcs is only because of the continuation of the generational hatred between the two races in the process of fighting for survival resources, and I am one of them, my mother died at the slaughter of the orcs. ”

"What about orcs, are orcs good and evil by nature?" Arya then asked another question.

Arthur was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"We've killed so many orcs these days, and I've never wondered, have the women and children of the orcs ever killed our people?

Arthur thought for a longer time this time, and only said for a long time: "Orc women will give birth to orc warriors, and orc children will one day grow into orc warriors who invade our borders, and we are saving the human race from trouble." ”

"Can we really avoid the troubles? After tens of thousands of years of war, we can't kill all the orcs. There are hundreds of millions of orcs in the orc wasteland, but how many of them are really invading the human border?"

Arya's series of questions left Arthur speechless.

Arthur had considered the root causes of war and hatred between the two races, but Arthur, who had been caught in hatred himself, had never thought about how to solve the problem in the end. As Arya asked, can you really destroy all the orcs?

Arya said slowly, "The reason why I feel uncomfortable in my heart is because the killing these days is contrary to what the God of Light has always taught me. As a pastor of light, I have been taught since I was a child to spread the brilliance of the God of Light, so that the grace of the God of Light can shine on all the weak lives in the mainland. ”

Arthur's expression became extremely solemn, "I never thought about these questions you said, can you make me think about it?" ”

"And one last question you didn't answer?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you so shy when you look at me?"

Arthur's face turned even redder.

"Answer me when you've thought about it!" Arya laughed and ran away.

......

Hundreds of kilometers away, in a tribe, almost the same scene played out.

"Expose yourself to Elliot so early, and the road ahead of you will be even more difficult. Chara looked worriedly at Leon, who was practicing her sword shirtless, and only in private would she show her soft, loving side in front of Leon.

Leon's hand kept moving, but he said slowly: "You don't really know us orcs, orcs only respect the strongest!" Elliot used trickery to snatch the position of heir that belonged to my father, and the patriarchs of many tribes and even the Golden Family have always been dissatisfied, although Elliot ascended the throne, he did not really win the approval of the orcs. Why hasn't this uncle of mine sent someone to hunt me down, because he was waiting for me to find him, and only by killing me in a head-on duel could he become the true lion king. ”

"Does your mother really want you to embark on this difficult path of revenge?"

Leon stopped his sword, looked at Shara and smiled, "Not only do you not know about orcs, but even my mother doesn't know about it. ”

"Joya treats me as a friend, but I've always thought of myself as just Joya's bodyguard, how can the guard really know the master?"

"Revenge, to reclaim the position of the lion king of the Golden Family, that was just my grandfather's idea. Do you know why my mother put Arthur next to me back then?"

Shara shook her head slightly.

"She wanted me to understand the Terrans, not only to learn to fight them, but also to understand their minds. My mother doesn't just want her son to return to the throne one day, he also hopes that I can one day lead the entire Orcs to reclaim our lost land and glory from the Terrans!"

"Oh my God!" said Shara, covering her mouth in disbelief.
