Chapter 33: Final Victory

Vidum couldn't help but close his eyes as he looked at the orcs who were scurrying around him in a mess. The body www.biquge.info of the pen, which was already extremely weak due to serious injuries, was as weak as if the bones had been removed. He knew that this time it was a complete failure, and without Grouchy's command, it would be impossible for these unorganized orc warriors to capture the fortress that was close at hand.

He remembered the words of the Great Elder before he left, "a home with fertile soil and plenty of food." This is the dream and hope of all orcs, after capturing the two human cities and ambushing human reinforcements, this dream is so realistic, so beautiful, as long as the long-cherished wish of the orcs for hundreds of years can be realized, but today this dream is shattered.

No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they will dissipate, and even the most magnificent bubbles will melt. Bumps along the way, fighting all the way, blood all the way, sacrifices all the way. Years of preparation, suffering compatriots, dead ancestors, mournful funeral songs, all of them have come to naught today, like tears dripping on the water, just a few ripples, that's all, that's all.

Vedum fell on the stretcher, his eyes wide open and looking at the sky, he wanted to ask loudly: why do you treat orcs like this, is it true that the Father and Mother of Heaven are about to abandon the orcs, is the orcs really going to perish, is the yearning for a better life wrong? He was hoarse, but he couldn't say a word, so what's the point?

Thinking of his compatriots who were still hungry and cold in the tribe, and thinking of their hopeful eyes, Vidum wanted to wipe his neck with a knife, he really didn't have the face to return to the tribe and go back to see them.

But he couldn't, "Vidum, fight or steal." Whether it's victory, or escape. Praised as a warrior or spurned as a coward. It's all for the orcs, for the continuation of our race, that's the most important thing. Even if you give up your dignity, even if you give up everything. We orcs must also live in this heaven and earth!"

That's what Grouchy had said to him before, and now that he's the leader of these orcs, he should, and must take these warriors home. This is his sin, his duty, even if all that awaits him is white eyes and curses, spitting and disgust, humiliation and punishment.

He has to carry it all up.

"Grouchy, you guy was captured by humans like this, and you left everything to me. Vidum looked at the walls.

"You don't want to die, even if it's to atone for your sins, little elder. ”

The orcs under the city walls suddenly became in a commotion, and the movement was so quiet that most of the humans on the city walls were aware of it. Al looked closely, not like preparations for a new attack, but like the orcs were arguing.

"Are they infighting?" said Al in a dark anticipation, but he also thought that if the orcs who lived in such a harsh environment were not united within themselves, they would have perished long ago.

"I guess there is a major disagreement within the orcs, maybe there are wise guys among the orcs who came up with the idea of retreating?", Al observed as he pondered the orcs, he thought about it and thought about it, but it was too inconsistent with the character of these orc warriors.

However, what happened next was not what El expected, and after the riot slowly subsided, the orcs packed their bags, dismantled their tents, and really began to retreat. There is no doubt that there are still important figures among the orcs who have enough prestige to convince and lead them.

"I miscalculated, I didn't expect there to be such a leader among the orcs. But fortunately, this guy only seems to have high prestige, but his brain is not very good, otherwise the orcs just now would not be a mess and unorganized, probably a warrior or something like that, right?", I have to say that Al basically figured out the character and characteristics of the orcs, as intelligent creatures, they are relatively simple and unpretentious, without too many twists and turns, and the judgment made through the analysis of the orc's behavior is often inseparable.

Al couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his plan was still flawed, and it was a fatal omission, there were two leaders among the orcs, which Al did not expect. Fortunately, luck was on El's side this time, on the side of humans, and the orcs made up for this omission with a single weapon and a brave configuration, so that El's strategy achieved good results.

"Did we survive? did we win?" asked a soldier next to him in a trembling voice, and at this moment, the people around him stared cautiously at Al as if in a dream, for fear that the heir of the Iron Thorn Family, the future Lord of the West, who had shown great wisdom before, would say nothing.

Al looked around, and among them were warriors who had survived a hundred battles, women who had fought hard, mysterious and powerful witches, and martyrs who had died bravely. For the sake of this fortress, for the people in the fortress, for the west, they threw their heads and spilled their blood, with their courage, faith, knowledge, life, martial arts, wisdom and even life...... Giving everything he had, burning everything he had, he finally repelled the orcs, defended his homeland, and won the victory.

It's not an epic sung by poets, it's not a bizarre legend, many of them are ordinary, they live ordinarily, they train ordinarily, they stand up ordinarily, they hold weapons ordinarily, they fight as best they can.

However, they are not ordinary, they are worthy of this legendary victory, worthy of being called unsung heroes, and they all have a common name - the Westsiders.

Al stooped down to salute these venerable men, his voice firm and sincere, "Ladies and gentlemen, you may cheer to your heart's content. We, we Westerners, have won, defeated the orcs, and defended the city!"

There was a momentary silence, then like a volcanic eruption, everyone jumped up, even the wounded jumped three feet high, and people laughed, cried, shouted, and screamed. Everyone hugged each other unpassionately, and at this time, people were not divided into men and women, young and old, regardless of dignity and inferiority, everyone was just happy to their heart's content, wanting to convey this joy to everyone around them.

Al smiled and looked at everything in front of him, and was coldly hugged by Medea next to him, leaving a red lip on his cheek, and the people around him applauded.

Al touched his cheek a little confused, Medea had always kissed him on the forehead before, and this was the first time she had kissed herself on the cheek.

"It's a reward for you. Medea winked at him.

"Her lips are so soft. Al couldn't help but think.

But there was no time for him to reminisce, and in a moment Al was overwhelmed by the warm embrace.

"Whatever, I deserve it anyway. Thinking like this, Al smiled and threw himself into the joyous crowd.
