Section 3 Thrones and Games

It was nearly noon, and Rex's stomach rumbled in protest from hunger. He stroked his belly www.biquge.info guessing when the tiger people would deliver food to them. Suddenly, the door to the exit was opened, and a bright light entered, illuminating the stone staircase of the exit.

Six tiger soldiers in armor appeared at the door, and they walked in, two of them opening the door of the prison separately.

"Oh, damn bastards! what are you going to do, I'm not going to die, I'm going to kill you savage bastards someday! I swear, I'll never let you go. Odom yelled.

"Shut up!" one of the soldiers slapped Odom and cursed, "it's ****** annoying, he's a beast and can't stop for a moment." If it weren't for the general's orders, I wouldn't have come here to see these murderous madmen. ”

Odom's hands and feet were chained, but he was still like a raging beast, and he was so emotional that he clanged the chains. The soldier couldn't help but punch him a few more times, and then slammed a black bag over his head. The blinded orcs resisted more fiercely and shouted louder.

"They're finally starting and have to find a way to leave. Rex thought to himself, suddenly covered in a black cloth bag. He felt strange and worried, but there was no better way but to improvise and wait for an opportunity.

The soldier untied the other end of the chain, led him out of the room, and chained Odom behind him.

"Is that you? Rex!" Odom in the back asked aloud.

"Yes. I think I'm right in front of you. Rex replied.

"Where are we going to be taken, are we going to die here?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm going to be beheaded, ask them and you'll know the answer. Rex said.

"Shut up, bastards, and stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and take you to hell. "One of the soldiers kicked Rex in the hip, kicking him to a staggering ground and nearly falling. The surrounding soldiers let out a cold sneer, saying that Rex deserved it. Rex felt the chains on his wrists lifted, tugging forward.

"Hey, stop, damn bastards. Odom shouted, "We'll go on our own, I curse you bastards to hell, and I won't let you go." ”

"Uh! what an annoying guy, shut his mouth. The captain of the soldiers ordered.

They stuffed Odom's mouth with cotton. Soon, Odom could only substitute a faint snort for swearing. The soldiers were silent, leading them forward, and he couldn't help but imagine what his fate would be next.

Following the soldier, stumbling upwards, Rex felt a light slowly appear in front of him. He thought they were outside the cell, and then into a hallway, where the hard floor was silent when stepped on. The chains on the feet rub against the floor, making a "ding, ding" sound.

Passing through the hallway, they walked down again, and then appeared to enter a tunnel. Soon they stopped. I just heard the captain greet someone, "How was your day?"

"So-so, you're bringing slaves here again! The last batch of orcs was not bad, and they worked very hard. There are more elves today, and I hope they don't disappoint me. The man said.

"These two were brought from the black prison and are felons. Look closely, if something goes wrong, you will be beheaded by the king. The captain instructed.

The man shouted, "Don't worry, Captain. This is my territory, and the rules of the game are set by me, and they don't follow my orders. Hmph, I have 10,000 ways to discipline their slaves. ”

"Okay, I hope you can fulfill your promise; The rest is up to you!" said the captain.

"Understood. ”

The captain left the tunnel with the guards. "Take the bag off their heads. The man commanded. "I want to see what kind of fierce gods they are, and I don't believe how powerful they are. ”

"Be honest and don't move. The soldier shouted. After a while, the black cloth bag that had been placed on their heads was removed.

Rex and Odom squinted, raising their hands to block out the glare of the light. Wait until your vision slowly recovers and your eyes adjust to your surroundings before they open again.

A fat tiger overseer stood in front of them, and the man Rex felt had a gloomy, evil domineering, and his uncanny gray eyes made people shudder, as terrifying and insidious as a viper.

The Overseer was also wearing a suit of armor, but not a helmet, perhaps he didn't think it was necessary. A pair of black cat ears are flipped back and forth on the outside. In a foul voice, he said, "Take them to work in the mines." ”

Two soldiers came up with mining pickaxes and unfastened the chains that had been locked to their wrists. Then he shoved the pickaxe into the hands of the two of them, and ordered, "Prisoner, come here!"

At this time, Rex saw the orc cellmate he had never met, Odom. Odom was a young orc, typically dark-green, rough, hairy, muscular with a wide mouth showing fangs, a high nose, a flattened and backward forehead, and a prominent jaw. He has a pair of green eyeballs and short, pointy ears. There are several battle scars on his cheeks, and Odom has drawn intricate symbols on these scars, which are not as simple as musical notes. Rex guessed that the symbols might be the most primitive orc language.

Odom, dressed in strong, heavy steel armor, stood a long way above the guards. His skin was fairly smooth, not covered in scars like the orcs Rex had seen before. Odom also saw Rex clearly, and the two looked at each other with admiration like old friends for many years.

The two were taken to the underground mine by the soldiers, and along the way, Rex saw some abandoned wooden minecarts left on the side of the road. They made their way through the crooked tunnels, and from time to time Tiger soldiers entered and exited the tunnels. Moments later, they arrived at the mining area, and Rex was surprised to find more than thirty orc warriors being used as slaves digging for silver. They worked in a dark, dirty environment, and everyone's face was dirty, and their expressions were numb, dull, and without any vitality.

They saw Rex and Odom being brought in, and shouted like activated jellyfish "It's the general, it's the general." Great, he's alive and there's hope. ”

The orcs were ready to stop what they were doing and gather together with their general. The soldier escorting the two became nervous and shouted "Guard, guard!"

The other soldiers who were patrolling the tunnels just now rushed over like frightened ants, holding knives in their hands and yelling at the orcs who had stopped working, "Be honest, do your job." "They want to use knives to force the orcs to keep working.

The surrounding orcs looked at each other, then focused on Odom's body. "The space here is small, and there are a lot of tiger soldiers, if you fight them now, you will definitely be killed, and no one will survive if you make trouble. Rex broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. He hurriedly stood beside Odom and whispered, "Hey, stop everyone, look at the tiger people around you, it's not time to fight back, don't let your companion lose his life in vain." ”

Odom looked around with a cold look before squeezing his eyes at everyone, signaling them not to be impulsive. The orcs, who had just ignited their anger, had no choice but to stare at the soldiers and continue their work. One of the soldiers escorting them came over and shoved the two of them, "Damn, don't go to work yet, two stupid people." ”

Rex and Odom each carried their pickaxes to the cave's veins. "Are these orc brothers your fellow warriors?" Rex asked.

"Not exactly, some of the brothers have already died. "They are all my father's people, my brothers, innocent victims, and I have to get them out of this hellish place." ”

"Well, but I think you need my help. Rex said as he picked up his hoe. Odom smiled, "Well, I can't get rid of your kindness anyway." If you can escape from this hell this time, I will definitely join you. ”

Rex smiled with satisfaction, "Are you sure it's not a joke now, I don't want to coerce you, I'll wait until the day you willingly join!"

"No, Rex. Odom became serious, "What I'm saying now is from the heart, you don't have to worry. What's more, adventuring with like-minded people is the most life-saving life, isn't it!"

"Makes sense, but before I get out of here, I'd like to ask you to help me find someone. Rex said.

"You mean Babas?" Odom asked.

"Not it, but I want to find it too. Rex said, "The man I'm looking for is the Imperial Prince who is in the Black Prison, you know him. ”

"You know, why are you looking for him?"

"I'm going to take him back to Whitehorse, it's my mission here. "Also, Babas and I were arrested because his lives were in danger, and I had to make sure he was alive." ”

"Unbelievable, what is the relationship between you and him?" said Odom, as he broke the casserole and asked. "You're looking for me to join the gang, it's not just about taking risks. ”

Rex stopped his pickaxe and told Odom about his identity as an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood and the mission to rescue the prince. Odom listened to Rex's words with relish, "With your sincerity and persistence, I'll be with you now." "Odom has a tough attitude.

Hearing his statement, Rex was slightly surprised, and then smiled with satisfaction. He stretched out his fist, and Odom immediately understood, clenching his fist as well. The two fists, one big and one small, one yellow and one green, touched together.

The tiger soldiers began to urge everyone to hurry up and get to work. The torches on the walls of the cavern began to shrink back, and the light became smaller and smaller. The muddy, sour air in the mine irritated everyone's nostrils, and even the guards who had failed to protect themselves sneezed one after another. One of the guards seemed to run to the overseer to explain the situation, and soon returned.

Then, the bell of the shutdown rang "dang dang". The orcs dropped their tools and were driven by the guards and lined up through one of the caves.

Rex and Odom were each wrapped in black cloth bags and taken back to the hellish darkness of the cell. And in hell they finished the dinner sent by the tiger people, if they could call it dinner.

"For the Tigers, it's a game of power and a game, and tomorrow we have to do something. Rex said.

"What are your ideas and solutions?" Odom asked.

"When the patrolling guards go out to change the guard, our chance has come. Tomorrow we will collude with everyone, and when the time comes, we will take down the overseers who are high above. ”

"You're right, it's an opportunity. But what should we do if we don't have weapons in our hands?" Odom said worriedly.

"Fool, we have a pickaxe, and it's absolutely no problem to use it as a weapon. ”

"I see! Odom said in relief.

At this time, Rex sighed, "It's a pity that Barbas is not here, otherwise we wouldn't have to bother." ”
