Chapter 113: Destroying the Evidence and Dealing with the Aftermath

A conundrum in front of you!

After collecting all the armor, weapons, shields, and shields left by the Hansa and dispersing most of the war horses, Baroque had a headache about how to solve this problem!

The Wind Scout is dead, and with the mysterious behavior of the Apocalypse Holy See, they must have gotten the news, and perhaps someone has already searched for it. There are too many traces of Baroque in the mine, and once he is detected by other papal seekers, even if he runs to the northern tundra, he will probably be found in the end, so his body must be destroyed.

Looking left and right around the mine, it was barren and desolate enough, except for the grass and shrubs, only a few dozen lonely pine trees not far away. Baroque suddenly had a move in his heart, and he had a solution!

Coaxed Susan to sit on the side, and took out a handful of gold coins for her to play with as a toy. Baroque endured his physical discomfort, searched for grass, cut down trees, and dragged them into the pit one by one...... The dwarves also abandoned some unused carbonstones here, Baroque used the Hansa shield as a dustpan, carried all the carbonstones to the underground hall, and piled them up with pine trees and trees beside the central stone ridge that supported the underground pit, threw the corpse of the Wind Scout on it, and then set fire to the wild grass and oily pines, and turned to leave.

Upon entering the dwarven pit, Baroque slashed more than half of the central stone ridge of the underground hall, which was now in the shape of an inverted cone, surrounded by burning twigs and carbonstone. Under the scorching fire, the stone ridge will gradually become loose and fragile, and when it can no longer withstand the great pressure, the collapse will naturally occur. -- Thanks to the Wind Scout, when he came in, he was afraid that Baroque would escape from the other exits, and actually destroyed the supporting stone pillars in several surrounding pits, so that only the one that could enter and exit smoothly was left, as long as the center collapsed. Then no one can enter unless the mountain is dug up.

After waiting for a while, Baroque helped Susan to mount the only horse he had left. Then he jumped up and hugged him tightly, with another horse tied to him ready to change. Suddenly there was a low vibration under his feet. A puff of smoke rose from the entrance to the only tunnel, and Baroque knew that the stone ridge in the mountain had collapsed. Finally, he smiled relaxedly, turned the horse's head around without hesitation, and galloped away from here. It was only after he had been gone for a long time that Hansa gathered hundreds of cavalry and roared...... The few who escaped were terrified, and they did not dare to return until they had searched for several Hansa 100-man cavalry, but time was wasted. They could only face the completely collapsed pit, and the rock mass on the mountain was unstable, and stones would fall at any time, and they finally saw nothing, so they had no choice but to leave ............!

Along the way, he stopped and deliberately avoided the main road, and chose to rush at night, and during the day he found a hidden place to rest and repair his body wounds. When passing through the area of Padja City, enter the western part of the Kingdom of Paddington. Baroque's injuries have finally improved, and the situation here is no longer as tense as in the east of Paddington, so there is no need to rush in black and white!

Baroque did not know that he was around the city of Padea. In a hurry, on another road not far from him, the magician Lady Belinda and several of her students, including [Seira], also set out on the journey back to her hometown of [Alberon Kingdom], and Susan's youngest daughter Claire was among them. This time apart, it wasn't until a long, long time that their mother and daughter met again.

A few days later, Baroque returned to the Spirits City to house orc slaves. It's already quite large, and the forty tribesmen who left behind are doing a good job. All the thousands of orcs have become very disciplined, building houses under their command. Or reclaim wasteland and grow crops. Baroque did not know whether to be happy or sad. For he found that all orc slaves were working with one of his people who was watching over them, and that they all had leather whips in their hands............ The servility in the bones of these orcs has disappeared, and only whips and scolding can make them obedient. Baroque felt that he might have made a big mistake, and if he left with his people, it would be a big question whether these guys would be able to fend for themselves. ...

When one of the tribesmen saw Baroque, he immediately let out a joyful roar and called out to the other tribesmen, and soon all forty tribesmen left their jobs and rushed over, and Celine and Barotan soon ran out of a house that had been built.

The tribesmen were very happy to see that the Baroque patriarch was safe and sound, only Celine stared at Baroque's side with a shrunken expression, holding Baroque's arm, and Susan's eyes were glazed, and she was surprised. rushed over and hugged Susan, and couldn't help but leave tears: "Sister, what's wrong with you? I'm Celine, don't you know me?"

There was some quiet around, and Baroque whispered something to the people, and after they all left in a hurry, he sighed and said to Celine: "When I was on my way to the north of the city of Padya, I met Susan who was being chased by a troop of cavalry from the Duchy of Hansea. Her retinue was probably dead, and when I rushed to rescue her, I found that the three little princes in the carriage were all ...... Killed by random arrows, I had to save Susan from escaping. ”

Celine was visibly shaking, and the extreme shock made her a little dazed, and Baroque was busy supporting her. Celine was already in tears, hugging Susan and crying, "My poor sister ......!" she raised her head abruptly and asked Baroque urgently: "What about Claire? Don't you see Claire?"

Baroque didn't know that Claire had left Paddington with Lady Belinda, shook her head, and sighed, "I didn't see the little princess, maybe...... Maybe she'...... too!"

"No, no, no...... No, Claire is so small, unless it's a brute, who would bear to hurt her. Celine loves Claire the most, even more than Susan's mother, she didn't dare to think about it at all, and shook her head again and again.

Susan's expression was a little hideous, and her eyes turned red, as if she was attracted by Celine's emotions. Baroque hurriedly hugged Susan to comfort her, and at the same time whispered to Celine: "Susan is already delirious due to grief, don't let her be frightened again, calm her emotions first, and slowly guide her to recover later!"

Celine nodded, wiped away her tears, hugged her sister, and walked with Baroque into the newly built house.

During this time, under the supervision and leadership of the clansmen, as well as the help of Baron Miro in the Red River Valley, the orc settlement was quite orderly. Even if you survive the first few winters. They will be able to be self-sufficient in the future. But the Baroque had to leave immediately, and there was no time and time for these things, and the servile orc slaves needed a master. The Baroque was ready to let Baron Miró rule over them, and had just sent his people to the Red River Valley to invite him.

Baron Miró sent his daughter Sera away. He had just returned from the city of Padya, and when he heard that the baroque shaman from the orc side had invited him, he said yes and came immediately. This young orc shaman was revered by Miro, and since he had become a neighbor, it was natural that he should have a good relationship. However, when he met with Baroque and had a secret conversation, he was still taken aback. Because the Baroque wants to give him the orc colonies of thousands of people to rule.

"My home is not here, and my return to my homeland and the rescue of orc slaves is nothing more than a gesture of kindness to my fellow citizens, but now it seems clear that this kindness has been somewhat discounted. Baroque said frankly to Miró: "It is undeniable that these people of mine have been slaves for too long, and they hardly know how to live without masters." But now that I have rescued them and given them freedom, I don't want to see them bullied and oppressed again. I don't want them to go back to being slaves, and I might as well settle here in Spirits. But it takes someone to manage and rule them. I can only trust you now, my honourable Baron Miró. ”

"But I'm only a little baron. To take over these thousands of orcs, the king's consent is required...... Hey, now the king of Paddington, I don't know where to ...... yet. "Miro knew very well that if these thousands of orcs came under his rule, his wealth and influence would skyrocket. But without the king's approval, this delicious cake would not have dared to swallow it. The point is that Linde is dead, and the royal city is in chaos, who will win in the end? ...

"Don't worry, the winner in the end can only be Schaumberg. His son will be the next king, and the results should be soon. I'll give you a letter. You can go and ask Schaumberg to give him this letter. I think he'll nod in agreement. Baroque gave Baron Miró a letter that had been written long ago.

Miró, though a little puzzled, took the parchment that had been tied up. Anyway, even if you don't get the dominion of these orcs, it's not a big deal, so let's give it a try. Nodding to Baroque, he made a very serious promise: "I will take care of these orcs and give them the dignity they deserve." ”

Baroque immediately smiled with satisfaction, which was exactly what he wanted.

After another two days, the men sent by Miró took over the orc settlement, and the Baroque returned to the gravel wasteland with forty tribesmen, and one hundred orcs selected from among them, who had not been corrupted by servile erosion.

Susan was delirious, like a child of seven or eight years old. She only wanted to stay with Baroque, always holding his arm all day, and once Baroque was gone for too long, she would cry in horror, even if Celine was there to comfort her. So Baroque could only be under Celine's obscure gaze, and some were very uncomfortable riding on a horse with Susan.

Barotan, Zainzu, Muru, Angre, Lorne Khan, Tulayan, the six strongest orcs led forty tribesmen, forming the fierce battle force of the blue wolf tribe known as the [Hungry Wolf Legion], each holding a huge battle axe and ten short spears stuck in their backs, like a walking killing machine. The other hundred orcs were filled with envy and adoration............ They were not a noble Frostwolf clan, not as tall and muscular as they were, and they consciously lowered their status to a hundred-man team, followed behind, and looked in awe at the Baroque patriarch who walked with two beautiful human women - everyone knew that this young orc was a mysterious and powerful shamanic priest, and that his experience of rescuing the orcs in the west of Paddington and wreaking havoc on human towns had become a legend in the orc settlement. They were all glad to be able to follow such a powerful leader, and as for the guys who stayed in the settlement, the hundred orcs in front of them were all prisoners of war who had fought with humans and were captured, and they also looked down on those guys!

ps: This book has just begun, but the abuse of the master has passed, and it will begin to exert its power ............ the future!
