Chapter 36: Awakening

Exhausted from returning to the camp, Al went to bed early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info is just not stable in his sleep, often dreaming of landslides and cracks, the ship capsizing, struggling for a long time, Al finally opened his eyes and saw Freeman constantly asking for him, trying to wake Al up.

Al stared at the culprit in front of him, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? Could it be that the orcs are attacking the city again?", yawning half-asleep as he spoke.

"Young Master, General Klerman is awake!", Freeman said in surprise.

His words were like a touch of cold water that dispelled all of Al's sleepiness, and he hurried out of bed and dressed.

"Really, when?"

"Just now I saw the medic follow General Kleman out, and when I ran over and asked, I realized that General Kleman had woken up and was able to get out of bed and walk around. ”

Al heard a burst of excitement in his heart, few of the defenders of the Snow Fortress could survive, and it was naturally a great thing that the old general could wake up at this time, and the reorganization and training of the defenders of the Snow Fortress had a solid guarantee. General Kellerman has been guarding the city for more than twenty years, he is a survivor of the orc invasion twenty years ago, and knows everything about the city, so it can be said that the elite army that can compete with the orcs before was brought out by him with great painstaking efforts.

There is no better defender of Snow Fortress than General Kellerman.

Al walked into the empty barracks, which used to be full of soldiers, and the noisy barracks became lifeless, and Al saw that his heart was also uncomfortably empty.

Finally caught a person to ask, only to learn that the military doctor had accompanied General Klerman to the city wall, and the two hurriedly ran to the city wall.

As soon as he climbed the city wall and found the Medic standing alone in the Stageway, Al walked over to ask something, but found that the Medic had tears in his eyes and was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Al was taken aback, grabbed the doctor and asked, "What's wrong with General Kleman?"

The medic pointed to the wall, and Al noticed General Klerman walking along the wall, his chest held high, and his military steps as he usually did in the army.

Al hurriedly greeted him and saluted the old general, "You woke up, fortunately the Snow Fortress is still defended." ”

However, General Kellerman walked past him as if he did not see the person or hear his voice.

Feeling that something was wrong, Al returned to the old general to take a closer look, and noticed that something was wrong. General Kellerman's eyes were blank and hollow, staring straight ahead.

Al was anxious, and clapped his hands vigorously beside the old general, hoping to attract his attention, and the crisp slapping sound was clear and loud in the silent night sky, but it could not attract the old general's attention.

The military doctor came to El's side, "It's useless, the old general is completely amnesia now, he can't even remember his name, and he has lost his ability to react. I tried all kinds of methods to get his attention, and I also found various acquaintances of the old general to awaken his memory, but they all failed. ”

"The only thing the old general remembers now is to climb the walls and patrol. ”

Al looked at the old man in front of him with emotion, he had forgotten his name, he had forgotten his long-time acquaintances, and he had forgotten almost everything.

Only I still remember the daily patrol of the thunderous wall, and I also remember my duty to guard the city.

He glanced at the old general deeply, as if he wanted to engrave the old man's figure firmly in his mind. Al returned to the camp, but he couldn't sleep, and when he closed his eyes, he remembered the tragic battlefield, the familiar faces who had died, and finally the old general patrolling the city walls alone. He could no longer lie down, straightened up, and held his chin in a daze.

Just when he was bored, Al suddenly remembered that he had captured an orc before, and it seemed that he was still the leader of the orcs. In high spirits, he did not wake Freeman, who was sleeping, and went to the dungeon of Snow Fortress alone.

Following El's previous orders, the jailers did not abuse the orc, and of course they did not treat him favorably, and kept him on leftovers every day. However, these are of course nothing to Grouchy, who grew up in the snowfield, and his biggest concern now is whether the remaining orc warriors can return to the snowfield safely, how the tribe will solve the problem of food, and the frustration and guilt of sacrificing so many orc warriors and failing to capture the snow fortress. These thoughts tormented him all the time and made his bedroom uneasy.

There was a commotion, and a short human walked up to the cage, and Grouchy, who was unfamiliar with humans, couldn't tell who he was, but from the respectful attitude of the jailers, it was clear that he was a big man.

Al looked at the orcs in the prison with great interest, as Medea said, they looked very different from ordinary orcs, and looked more like humans than orcs. And the average orc should be restless, angry, and crazy now, while this orc appears calm, cautious, and rational.

It is indeed a very special orc, is this the leader of the orcs?

Al didn't ask the jailer to move a chair over, and squatted on the ground very casually, "What's your name, I know that orcs also use lingua franca. ”

Grouch glanced at the short man, closed his eyes and remained silent.

Al scratched his head in frustration, he had seen it when he was on Earth, and silence like this was the most difficult to deal with, and he was not a criminal investigation expert, so it was tricky.

Al thought about it for a moment and decided to start with what this orc might care about the most.

"Do you want to know who came up with the plan to catch you directly? Do you want to know who made the bluff plan?"

Grouch opened his eyes and glanced at Al, clearly haunted by the loss. Although he possessed extraordinary wisdom as an orc, he did not have enough experience and experience, and he was still far from Gujing Wubo's state of mind.

Al pointed at himself with a thumbs up, "That's me." ”

Grouch didn't overdo it and scoffed, this little guy is one of the youngest among human beings, so he is not ashamed to speak here.

Al secretly smiled in his heart, if he was interested. Unhurried, he slowly narrated his various analyses at that time, and finally asked the orc to pin his head little by little.

Facing the orc's gaze, El was calm. He was now more and more interested in this orc, who might have a special place in the orc tribe. He had a hunch that he could get some useful information from the orc's mouth.

What's more, breaking through the psychological defenses of an orc who has a lot of wisdom but does not have enough accumulation and precipitation is an extremely novel and interesting experience and attempt, and in a sense, the lessons learned in this process are also valid for many humans.
