Section 5 Escape from the Mining Area
In the dark, damp, filthy, and stinking underground mines, the orcs toiled like slaves, forced to collect diamonds for the tigermen who enslaved them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although the Tiger People are not master smelters, they know how to trade and are well versed in business, and these ore resources are an important condition for them to be strong.
King Amuron not only obtained a large amount of gold from the Imperial Blacksmiths through commercial transactions, but also crafted a number of fine swords and runic bows. The Amuron family led the entire Tiger People towards militarism, but the traditional system of the agrarian society hindered their ambitions for expansion, and the Tiger People stubbornly engaged in the cultivation business they loved, unwilling to obey the king's calls and orders, and went against tradition and preferences to become miners.
Amulon and his generals resorted to plunder, imprisonment and other means, kidnapping young people of other races and forcing them to work as drudgers. Of all the races except the Tiger Humans, the King was most fond of plundering the Orcs, as they were the best in the Skyrim in size and strength.
Over the years, many orcs have been killed or imprisoned to death in the underground mines. But soon, new orcs will be caught to fill the void. The orcs who became miners were ruthlessly oppressed and humiliated by the tigermen, but they never resisted. Even though they are docile and obedient, completely obey the orders of the rulers, obey the orders of the rulers, and work hard, they still cannot escape the fate of being oppressed.
The will of the orcs was destroyed by the intense labor, and the anger was extinguished by the high pressure, and they lived numbly in the shackles of their spirits, and finally their bodies collapsed and died in the smoky abandoned mines.
When their young general, Zuk Odom, appeared in the underground mines, the orc miners were more than surprised, but more joyful. Although they did not understand the reason why the general was taken to the mine, they woke up and a light of hope ignited in their eyes. This group of people who have been forced to break away from their own race, have lost their homes, loved ones, and freedom, and are imprisoned in the darkness of the earth, long since the soulless, like zombies with walking corpses.
Odom's presence brings the dead to life, and he evokes nostalgia for their orc identity and makes them miss their homeland. Now, the orc miners are pinning their hopes on Odom, hoping that the general will rescue them and lead them back to their homeland once again.
The next day, Odom quietly passed on the plan to each of his compatriots. This news is like the water of life, Ganlin, which makes the orcs in the mining area refreshed and full of vitality, and they exude infinite power as if they were reborn.
The orcs began to be passive and lazy. The preparations for the escape plan have already been completed, and everyone is waiting patiently for the fuse of the incident to break out.
The two patrolmen in charge of the supervision did not pay attention to their changes, and continued to repeat the patrol work mechanically. When the time for the rotation came, one of them left in a hurry, and soon a replacement guard would come in. At this time, only one guard remained with the absentees.
When the opportunity finally came, Rex and Odom exchanged glances, exchanged glances, and exchanged brief, effective glances before deciding to take action. The guards who remained were armed with large iron swords and watched the increasingly hostile slaves with alarm.
Rex walked murderously towards the guards.
"Stop, I told you to stop!" shouted the guard, looking back anxiously at the door, frightened, holding his broadsword across his chest in a defensive gesture, expecting reinforcements to arrive.
Like a bolt of lightning, Rex came to him and wrapped the chains that bound his hands around the necks of his enemies, and the poor guard was strangled by Rex before he could see what he could do.
The guards threw away their iron swords and pulled the chains around his neck with both hands, and his breath struggled and his legs trembled. His heart struggled in his body, beating very fast, and his brain began to swell, and the blood rushed to the top of his head, as if it would explode at the slightest touch of his scalp. His consciousness drifted into the distance, his body lost control, his hands and feet went limp, and after three minutes, he swallowed his breath.
"Hide the body. Odom ordered.
The two orcs walked briskly, lifted the corpse from the ground and threw it into the abandoned mine behind it. At this moment, another guard on the shift stepped through the door, and was grabbed and lifted up by Odom, who was hiding behind the door. With a loud roar, he threw the struggling guard against the stone wall, and the guard slammed his body against the stone wall with a single "ah!", and by the time he fell to the ground, he was dead, blood slowly pouring out of his nostrils, mouth, eyes, and ears.
They killed two guards in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of the orcs. The orcs of the mining area have moved closer to their generals, and they have united into an army. Zuke Odom walked up to the crowd and gave an impassioned speech, "Compatriots, brothers, you are all my relatives. They have been enslaved by the tiger people and forced to work for them for a long time, and they have endured no dignity, no freedom, and lived the most humble life. But we are the descendants of Magsta, the descendants of a hero, with the noblest blood in our bodies, with the best race, the most traditional and the best qualities, and we deserve to live better. They don't have the power to imprison us, they don't have the power to oppress us. Noble compatriots, the time has come, please stand up and fight for life and freedom, and today we must reclaim our glory and take revenge on our enemies, brothers, the orcs will never be slaves!"
"That's great, for the sake of the Orcs, for freedom, for the sake of Dragonbone City, we have to resist. Odom's compatriots shouted in unison, "Orcs will never be slaves!"
Rex stood next to him and complimented, "Great and perfect." ā
Odom smirked.
"General, please take us out of the mines. Someone in the line shouted.
"That's right, the general," another shouted, "We will follow you to the death!"
Odom and Rex were very happy, and after listening to everyone's appeals, he comforted him and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely lead everyone out of here safely, I will never abandon my fellow brothers, I promise you." ā
There was a shout of approval from the crowd.
At this moment, an old orc with loose skin slowly stepped out of the crowd and approached the two of them, and he told Odom that there was a little-known secret passage hidden in the underground mining area, which was used only for the tigermen to escape. He had secretly left and advised everyone to escape through the secret passages.
"This news is so important, thank you, old sir. Odom thanked the old man.
"Gather everyone together and get out together. Rex said.
"Hmm!" Odom nodded.
With Odom's authorization, the old orc staggered with the crowd and quickly set off towards the secret passage. At this moment, the guards outside the door noticed the anomaly and immediately summoned their companions, and a large number of guards armed with spears and swords rushed into the mine.
Fighting broke out in full swing. Arrows rained down on the orc team, and those behind were unable to dodge, and they all fell to the ground with arrows. Rex waved the chain in his hand and rushed side by side with Odom, separating the soldiers from the orcs.
"Keep going!" Odom shouted to the team.
The orcs have escaped from the barrier and have long since fled into the secret passage. In the mines, the soldiers roared like wolves hunting, besieging Rex and Odom and cutting off their way out.
The fat tiger overseer arrived belatedly, and with small steps, his expression sorrowful, angry and anxious, as soon as he stepped through the gates of the mine, he ordered everyone to attack quickly.
A captain-like soldier reported to him about the sudden changes that had taken place in the mines. The overseer shook his head, squinted at the two of them from afar, and said, "Don't leave him alone if you escape, but these two people are very important, don't let them escape, the warden has a special order, you can do it in case of emergency..."
"Understood. The captain replied.
At the orders of the overseers, the stupid soldiers began to swell blindly, using their numerical superiority to attempt to capture or kill their opponents with crowd tactics. But ignoring the Achilles' heel of the disparity in combat capabilities, the soldiers attacked.
Without waiting for them to attack, Rex threw the chain around the nearest soldier, the chain was wrapped around his neck like a snake, Rex pulled in his direction, the soldier stumbled and was pulled towards the two, Odom reached out and grabbed his head, and with a hard squeeze, he shattered his skull, and blood spilled on the ground.
The soldiers were startled and retreated. Rex lifted the limp corpse and threw it into the crowd, and the soldiers were beaten to pieces. They did not dare to act in this confined space, nor did they dare to retreat under the intimidation of the overseers, and the two sides fought cautiously to maintain this brief equilibrium.
Rex decides to break the deadlock, a pointless confrontation that puts their escape plan in danger of failing. He and Odom had a quick and easy conversation, and a new project began. Rex first attacked the soldiers in front of them with the chains in his hand, and when the soldiers retreated to dodge, he quickly threw the chains at the enemies behind them. The soldiers behind thought they had an opportunity, so they rushed up and prepared to attack them.
Unexpectedly, the dangerous chains suddenly appeared in front of them, and the soldiers panicked, and in order to avoid the attack of the chains, they automatically evacuated to both sides, and the ranks became chaotic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Odom rampage forward, and in an instant, he fought his way through the crowd. The scattered soldiers fell to the ground, and their companions dodged and trampled them into the dust underground. Suddenly, the screams and cries were unconscious.
The two broke through the encirclement of the soldiers and entered the secret passage. The space inside the secret passage is not wide, it can only pass through the body of an ordinary orc, and the structure is tortuous and rugged, which makes it difficult to pass through. Rex scurried ahead, but Odom struggled, the narrow cliffs relentlessly blocking his body, slowing him down.
In the secret passage behind him, the footsteps of the soldiers were getting closer and closer, and Odom was angry and anxious. Rex stood in front of him, trying to help him but not knowing how to do it. Suddenly, Odom yelled "You go away!"
Rex was stunned and stammered, "You, you, why?"
"Look at it?"
Rex looked up and saw a boulder stuck in the middle between the cliffs above him, and he understood Odom's intentions and happily said, "Let's start!"
Odom slammed his iron forehead into the boulder, the rock shattered, the passage collapsed, and the cliff shattered into many rocks, blocking the passage behind them, and the pursuers were stopped on the other side.
As the two of them continued to move forward, the space behind the passage gradually widened, and the road was much smoother, so that Odom finally did not have to walk sideways. They kept chasing until their feet were tired and shivering, and then they stopped to rest. Rex sat on the ground gasping for breath, and Odom sat across from him.
"How long have we been walking, and we haven't seen them yet!" Odom asked.
"It's far enough that maybe we'll be able to catch them a little further on. Rex replied.
"Well, I hope they can escape smoothly and have a safe journey. Odom said.
"No one was left behind, and I think they were going well," Rex said
After the break, they continued on their way. After a little further walking, the light in the secret passage cavern suddenly brightened, and the surrounding cliffs glowed with blue fluorescence. The fluorescence illuminated the stones and moss clearly. Seeing the blue light like a star, Odom became excited, and he shouted loudly, "Hey, Rex, come and see, it's fluorescent mushrooms, delicious wild mushrooms, and all-natural ingredients." ā
Rex walked in to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found a glowing mushroom in the headland. He picked one and held it in his hand, and the fluorescence shone on his face, which turned a deep blue.
"How's it taste?" asked Rex.
"It's delicious, tender and smooth, it's a rare ingredient, and in my hometown of Goam, we used to make mushroom soup to drink, so you should try it. ā
"Yes, I hope it and my appetite. Rex took a bite in disbelief, neither delicious nor foul-smelling, as if he were eating a piece of soft wood, dry and tasteless. Rex insisted on eating the rest of the mushrooms, and found that Odom had picked all the mushrooms and was eating them with gusto.
Suddenly, there was a rough shout from the front of the secret passage, and although the sound was faint, it was still discernible that it was the roar of the orcs.
"Did you hear that?" asked Rex.
"It's their voice, right ahead. Odom threw away the mushroom in his hand and galloped forward.
"Maybe they're in danger and we're over. Rex said.
"Hmm. ā
The two found many white cobwebs on the edge of the nest where the roots of the tree were entangled. The surrounding cliffs and old tree roots are covered with thick cobwebs. Next to the other root, they also found an orc corpse wrapped in cobwebs, green slime oozing from the corpse's mouth.
"He died of poisoning, the venom of a killer spider. "We have to watch out for dangerous, malevolent creatures. ā
"That's right. Odom responded to him.
"Oh, whoa, whoa!" a scream came from the other end of the cave. They followed the cries and found their fellow orcs who had escaped in a larger, dirtier, white lair. They are wrestling with three killer spiders.
There was a warrior who had been impaled through the body by the fangs of a killer spider, and he was the one who had just screamed. At this time, he had fallen into a coma, and the killer spider kept spitting out white silk from its mouth, wrapping him into a white chrysalis with his tentacles, and passing it to the little spider behind.
A few brave warriors, wielding pickaxes in their hands to drive away killer spiders, tried to recapture their bound compatriots but were unsuccessful. Seeing this, the two immediately joined them in the battle, and the other orcs, encouraged, bravely stood up, picked up the stone from the ground, and threw it at the behemoth monster, which was full of danger.
