On this continent, mercenaries and adventurers are two very different professions. Although they were all armed regiments that survived in the wilderness by force, their basic organizational structure and combat objectives were very different.

Adventurers can be said to be a conscientious militia organization, they carry the banner of justice to protect the common people, their main job is to crusade against monsters, receive tasks from the adventurers' association in the city, and clean up the city around the city and the main thoroughfares, so as to ensure the safety of the city and the smooth roads.

Of course, after achieving dependency, you can get the corresponding bounty from the association. In addition, the skins of monsters peeled from hunting, or high-priced magic cores, can also provide considerable benefits for adventurers. Among them, the magic core is an indispensable item for making magic guides, and it is a consumable, and it can be sold at an expensive price in the market according to its quality.

However, high-quality magic cores often come from the bodies of dangerous demonic beasts. According to the expert arguments of the Wizards Association, the magic core is the root of the demonic beast's madness, and the demonic power contained in it is directly proportional to the fury of the demonic beast.

In fact, experienced adventurers know that the magic beast with the demon core buried in its body is at least the level of C or above the danger level of the association. And what exactly is the concept of C-level or above, it is probably the strength of ten well-equipped human soldiers, which can barely cope with it.

Do not think that the combat effectiveness of an adventurer will be stronger than that of an ordinary soldier, this is the bias of the layman. It is true that there are many veterans of kung fu among the adventurers, but the vast majority of others are not even as good as the soldiers of the city defense.

Therefore, the work of adventurers is not easy, and their lives are often just enough to eat.

Looking at mercenaries again, mercenaries are different from regular armies, they do not belong to specific countries and nobles, and they are armed regiments that wander freely. They don't have a clear reserve and philosophy, they are basically money supremacy, as long as they receive enough money, then whether it is crusading against Warcraft or robbing houses, it is all within the scope of business.

In the eyes of mercenaries, there is no such thing as good and evil, there are only employers and enemies. Today's friends are tomorrow's enemies, and vice versa. On the other hand, there may be a good side, and that is that the grudges of the past will not be left for tomorrow.

As a result, between the mercenaries and the adventurers, a special organization was born, which was customarily called the Gray Beast Regiment.

The beast that hovers in the gray area is probably pouring out a similar meaning. They are arguably the most despicable and despicable criminal group on the continent. Nominally, the Grey Beasts have the qualifications of both the Adventurers' Guild and the Mercenary Regiment, and although they are registered under different names, they are secretly the same group.

Usually think about it, the so-called capable people work hard, if you feel that your combat power is strong enough, then it is not impossible to hold two positions. But in reality, what the Grey Beasts do is much more despicable. Once such an organization reaches a certain size, they will pursue the greater good by any means, and they will inevitably go down the wrong path.

For example, during the season when Warcraft is frequent, they will take advantage of the convenience of adventurers to deliberately lure the herd of Warcraft to the periphery of the town or the main passage under the guise of hunting Warcraft. As a result, local lords have to hire additional forces to protect their territories. At this time, the gray beast group will seize the opportunity, come to the door as a mercenary, and ask for a sky-high price as if robbing while the fire is burning.

The lord knew that there was fraud behind it, and he had to buy into this group of hooligans and ruffians, because there was not enough evidence.

Of course, the Grey Beasts did much more than that, such as today, in the forest near the city of Enoses, near the edge of the Empire, this scene was staged.

There was an armed group of about twenty people, armed with swords and heavy helmets. At first glance, it looks like an adventurer's dress, but judging by the unity of equipment and the sense of coordination of actions, it has reached the level of a first-class army.

On both sides of the road on the outskirts of the forest, you can find many corpses of demonic beasts, which were killed by these people not long ago. It took only a few events for the corpse to be completely stripped of its fur and the core to be expertly excavated. Judging by their sophisticated working methods, they should be experienced adventurers.

However, their actions did not end there, and during the battle of the monsters, these people discovered the movement in the jungle.

Without saying a word, the armed regiment invaded the interior of the forest, and they were soon met with the expected resistance, and it was not the monsters that attacked them, but the 'people'. No, it may not be accurate to call these 'people', because they have the ears of wild beasts and long thick tails. They did not carry weapons, but fought with their own minions as weapons.

It's an orc...... A subhuman race whose physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary humans. Originally, jungle warfare was supposed to be handy for orcs, and ordinary human invaders were afraid that they would be successfully repelled in two moments, but today they encountered a desperate situation.

These armed regiments are no ordinary adventurers, in addition to Warcraft, they are also experts in human combat. It was only a matter of looking at the face, and judging the weakness of the race from the characteristics, and choosing the appropriate weapons and tactics. The slightest disadvantage in physical ability is not enough in their eyes.

One by one, the orc warriors were crushed by the irritating smoke screen and the short crossbow coated with paralyzing poison, and the remaining orcs found that the situation was not good and tried to escape, but the armed group did not rush to pursue, but skillfully tried to capture the old man, and quietly followed them at a certain distance, and finally the fleeing orcs revealed the location of their entire tribe.

In the Empire, the orc race was severely oppressed, they were not recognized as legitimate inhabitants, and of course they had human rights, and if captured, they would be sold as slaves.

Therefore, many mercenary groups even take the capture and sale of orcs as their main business, and over time, the orcs within the empire have fallen apart in large-scale hunting, and now they are a candle in the wind. It is said that it is a tribe, but in fact, there are only a few dozen people, living a hard life in simple buildings and tree holes.

Adventurers don't go out of their way to target orcs, but the Grey Beasts are familiar with the slave trade, and if they find an orc tribe, they will immediately suppress it. Judging from the training actions of the more than twenty people in front of them, they should be quite high-level gray beast regiments.

Only a few minutes after the attack, the armed group had no trouble capturing all the orcs. Those who could have escaped had to obediently submit because their families and children were taken hostage.

"Young master, you've caught them all, what should I do next. ”

One of the soldiers in the armed group asked in a succinct manner.

"Take only the children, and dispose of the rest. ”

The figure known as the Young Master is unusually small, and like other soldiers, he wears a helmet and cannot see his face. But judging by the shrill voice that came out, I am afraid that it is a woman, and it is also a young girl.

"Deal with it...... With the current situation in the Empire, strong orcs are very sought-after, and those females are also good-looking, is it a bit of a waste?"

"That being said, our mission today is simply reconnaissance. There aren't enough manpower to manage a large number of slaves, and the orcs are physically strong, and if they are waiting for an opportunity on the road, the situation can become unmanageable. ”

The girl's instructions were very reasonable and cold, which also showed that they did not regard the orcs in front of them as "people" at all, but were only discussing what to do with some livestock.

"Okay, I see, but that's it, young master...... You see, there is still a lot of time left before the time limit of the mission, can you get the brothers to ...... before we get rid of that?"

The girl immediately understood what her subordinates wanted to say, and how frantic they would be to do what they were going to do next, but the girl just said in a cold tone, "No problem, whatever you like." But in half an hour. ”

"Okay young master!" the promised soldier raised the corners of his mouth and turned around, conveying the good news to the lower side, "Have the boys heard it! Tie up the children and throw them aside, and do whatever you want with the rest! Kill everyone within half an hour, organize their equipment and retreat!"

"Oooooooo——!oo

Then, the hellish scene played out. The bodies of orcs are not much different from those of humans, and this is the reason for their sin.

The orc women wailed in the jungle, and they were brutally treated in every way, for they would all end up being killed, and if they could not be commodified, the members of the Grey Beasts would show no mercy and would use the most brutal methods imaginable to have fun.

The girl as the leader didn't feel anything about it, she just waited quietly, waiting for the time to pass minute by minute.

She couldn't understand the pleasure of ravaging women who didn't resist, but she didn't deny the actions of her subordinates, because, after all, she was in this business.

These men were reliable warriors, capable and moral, but now they were demons with no mercy. Are they wrong?

Maybe...... But no one will blame them for this, because this is in the Empire, and what they have done has not violated any of the laws of the Empire. At the end of the day, it's just killing some brutes, and no one in this world cares how the dishes served on the table are slaughtered.

With that in mind, the girl removed her helmet and exposed her silver hair to the humid air of the jungle. I saw a pair of furry ears on the top of my head twitch slightly.

Perhaps none of the orcs present could have imagined that she, the devil who led the humans to slaughter themselves...... It would be orcs, their countrymen.

"Why are you colluding with humans to harm your kind!!"

The orc warrior who was tied up roared angrily.

The girl was attracted by the sound, and she turned her head to look directly at the prostrate orc with her beautiful cat eyes.

"Because the law of the jungle eats the strong. It's the same regardless of race...... In the same way, countless humans have died at our hands on the battlefield. In this regard, I do not discriminate. ”

"Bastard ——!"

"You...... I have the impression that you were the first to attack us on the outskirts of the forest, right?"

"So what! We can't let dastardly humans set foot in the sacred forest!"

"Stupid man, if he waited for us to leave, there would not have been such an end. ”

“！！”

The beast man was speechless, but the girl continued mercilessly.

"It can be said that your companions have all died because of your misjudgment, including now, and you have once again made a foolish choice. ”

"What......?"

"If the weak want to survive, they must first learn how to flatter. The female struggles to shake her stock, and the male kneels down and licks each other's boots, in short, to survive first, and then to struggle for the rest of the day, maybe one day to turn over. And you...... Seems to be in a hurry to die. ”

After speaking, the girl waved her arms, and the steel claws on the back of her armour swept the man's throat and took his life with ease.

The girl was convinced of what she was saying. If you want to survive in the face of overwhelming violence,

"Hey, two imps over there have escaped!"

At this moment, suddenly there was a shout in the wailing ruins. The silver-haired girl turned her head and saw two tiny figures staggering into the bushes.

"Young master, do you want to send someone to chase after you?"

"No, it's very dangerous to track in the forest, everything goes according to plan, let them go. ”

The girl stopped talking, just silently watched the back of the young orc disappear from the forest.
