Chapter 9: I'm an Orc After All

"Mankiw Udisi?" the archmage searched for the name in the corner of his memory. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The one-eyed butcher was stunned, and then it seemed that it took a long time to remember the meaning of these words, and a touch of emotion appeared on his originally expressionless face, "There are still people here who remember this name." ”

"One of the three famous orcs in the War of the Roses, one person and one city in the early days of the war, dragged the 80,000-strong coalition army for six months with less than 2,000 troops, frustrating the plan of the Terran blitzkrieg and winning enough time for the orcs to react, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that they decided the trend of the war by themselves. Rob's face also became unusually serious, "I didn't expect to meet Your Excellency here, the hero of the orc clan is not an unknown little person." ”

The one-eyed butcher shook his head, "What three heroes and heroes are all fallacies of later generations, I am just a soldier who wants to protect my hometown, but unfortunately in the end I still lost my city, left behind those brothers who once fought side by side, and chose to abandon the city and flee in the night like a dog." ”

"It's because of the order of the military department. "The Great Magician hit the nail on the head," War needs heroes, at that time your deeds have spread among the orcs, many young people regard you as an idol, take you as an example, worship you, admire you, the orc high-level also wants to take advantage of the situation to make you a banner, so it is impossible for the military to allow this flag to fall into the hands of our human race, if you become a prisoner, this news will be a great blow to the morale of the orcs when it comes back to the capital, you have defended that city for six months, and have won enough time for the military, the strategic value of that city is decreasing every day, in fact, it has become a shame to abandon the chicken ribs, at this time of course the military will force you to abandon the city。 ”

However, now it seems that although Mankiw Udisi obeyed the orders of the military department, he has always been obsessed with abandoning his hometown, and it is no wonder that he is the only one who has not been on the battlefield again in the later stages of the war.

Rob didn't expect to meet the orc heroes of a hundred and sixty years ago in this humble little butcher's shop today.

If the history books are correct, he was just in his early thirties when he participated in the War of the Roses, and he should be almost two hundred years old by now, but it can not be seen from the appearance, the lifespan of orcs is not the same as that of the human race, orcs are actually just a general term, the lifespan of orcs of different ethnic groups varies greatly, like the life span of jackals is generally less than forty years old, while ordinary centaurs can live to more than two hundred years.

Mankiw Udisi comes from a small group that few people have heard of, and the members of this group have extremely long lifespans, so although he is now more than 200 years old, he does not look old except for the vicissitudes of his eyes.

However, everything has a price, while gaining a long lifespan, the one-eyed butcher's population is extremely difficult to reproduce, the number of the tribe has been decreasing, and there are almost no new tribesmen in this generation, Mankiw Udisi is the only remaining prime of the tribe, so this guy is not busy thinking about how to continue the population but ran to the territory of the human race and became a butcher here...... How suspicious it looks.

Considering the various grievances between him and the Terrans back then, the two thousand orc warriors who accompanied him to defend the city basically died in the end, and the great magician had reason to suspect that there was some ulterior secret behind the one-eyed butcher's coming here, and this guy had been waiting for an opportunity to chop up the entire harbor into minced meat.

However, Mankiw Udisi seemed very calm, "In fact, I never hated you Terrans back then, war is like this, once it starts as hostilities, there is almost no room for relaxation between the two sides, the things on the battlefield are either you die or I die, everyone is fighting for their own race, although my hometown was occupied by you at that time, but it should be said that you did a good job, and the maximum restraint army did not harass the civilians, which I always want to thank you for." ”

After a pause, he said, "I don't like to fight, after the end of the War of the Roses, it is rare to have peace for more than a hundred years, which is a good thing, in fact, in the later stage of the war, I was basically in a semi-secluded state, in order not to affect the morale of the army, I have not retired, and as soon as the war ended, I slipped back to my hometown, did not go to the army to report, chose to live like an ordinary person, and then my friends passed away one after another......"

Speaking of which, there was a hint of remembrance in the one-eyed butcher's eyes," A long life is not always a good thing, one day you will find fewer and fewer familiar faces around you, nineteen years ago my last friend died, after I decided to go out for a walk, when I was a child, I longed for the world of your human race, but at that time the relationship between everyone was more tense, three days and two wars, now it is finally peaceful, I can also fulfill my childhood wishes, I have been to the Lionheart Empire, I have also been to the free city-state, and then I am tired of walking and stop in the Holy Alliance's port of Setvia, as a result, this stay is nine years, to be honest, I have almost forgotten the previous things, and now I am just an ordinary butcher。 ”

"I don't tell from the rag dolls in that room that you're an ordinary butcher. The Great Magician couldn't help but spit out, and then sighed, "If you really wanted to be an honest butcher, you wouldn't have revealed my identity just now." ”

Mankiw Udisi was silent for a moment, and finally said with some difficulty, "I'm an orc after all. ”

The One-Eyed Butcher explained his choice in just half a sentence. Rob understood the meaning behind this sentence - I am an orc after all, although I like peace, have abandoned the past, forgot my former name, lived well in the human world, and found the peace I have not seen for a long time, but when I meet the Chosen Son of the Terrans, the brightest genius in the history of magic, when he broke away from those strict protections and appeared in front of me alone, I was still moved.

If they can kill each other here, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Terrans, and the idea of the One-Eyed Butcher is purely from a racial point of view.

"Do you know what is the most terrifying thing about you humans?" Mankiw Udisi said, looking into the eyes of the archmage.

"Huh?" Rob raised an eyebrow.

"The development of other races is gradual, only the development of your human race is leapfrogging, how weak you were at the beginning, dwarves, The elves and our orcs almost have the ability to destroy you, and you humans are struggling to survive in the cracks by relying on the mutual restraint between several major forces, just like a small flame, as long as there is a small gust of wind that may be extinguished at any time, and those weak races before, you marry your princess to the prince of our orcs, give the hard-earned wealth to the dwarves, and bow your head in front of the elves, but after all, it is difficult to escape the fate of the extinction of the species...... As a result, one day, a guy named Roland appeared and opened the door to magic for you, and that person single-handedly rewrote the fate of the entire human race, making you the most powerful force in the Dawn Continent overnight, something like this has never happened to any other race. ”
