126. The history of suffering, the assault of young girls
When night fell, bonfires were lit in the square beneath the tower.
All the people of the city, young and old, gathered in the square to participate in this grand dinner.
It is not only to celebrate the safe passage of the insect plague, but also to welcome the arrival of the three heroes who saved the city.
The sky above the square is filled with the aroma of wine and meat. All the orcs brought their own treasured wine and offered them to the heroes. The city lord also took out the high-grade wine in the city lord's mansion to reward the meritorious people who defended the city today. Not only the three heroes who appeared in time, but also any orc warrior who had fought in the city could taste the wine brought out by the maiden city lord.
After a catastrophe, all the farmland around the city has been eaten away, and even the livestock that have been raised have not been rushed back to the city in time have been devoured by the giant locust swarm. The ensuing crisis of food shortages and even the outbreak of the Great Famine was already evident. At this time, it seems that a big feast is an inopportune scene.
However, the orcs living in the Savage Realm have long been accustomed to this kind of life of constant disasters. Their grief doesn't last long, and they don't even care too far into the future. Drinking today and getting drunk today is their normal state.
For perhaps tomorrow there will be a terrible earthquake, or a stone will fall from the sky, or a wild beast will pass through...... This young city, which is only ten years old, will be completely wiped off the ground.
No one knows how long they will live, no one knows if tomorrow will be an even more terrible disaster. To live, to live to the fullest, is the only goal in the lives of the orcs in the city.
What's more, there is enough meat to eat today, and there is no need to consume the food stored in the homes of the orcs.
The passage of the giant locust will certainly sweep everything away, but the giant locust itself is also edible. During the defense of the city, countless locusts were burned to ashes or blown into powder, but the corpses of the locusts under the city were still piled up.
A foot-long giant locust with a carapace as hard as steel is impossible to eat. But after breaking the carapace, from its arthropods, chest and abdomen, it can remove a full two taels of flesh. After the locust swarm left, the whole city started together, collected the giant locust corpses, removed the insect meat, and finally summed it up, and there were more than 500,000 catties.
Although there is a lot of meat, almost all of the orcs are big stomachs. More than 500,000 catties of meat, if it is a human race, is enough for 10,000 people to eat for two months without any remaining food. If you just barely survive death, you can last for half a year.
But for the beast clan, the more than 8,000 orc people in the city can eat more than 500,000 catties of meat in just ten days.
But now, the orcs can't manage so much, can't think so far, so they have to eat a good meal today.
When cooked, the meat of the giant locust is as clear as snow, chewy and chewy, and it is actually a delicious dish. If you grill it, the color is golden, the fat is fragrant, and the taste is more beautiful.
Therefore, the main dish of today's feast is giant locust meat. As for wine, it is something that has been brewed for a long time, and it cannot be used as food to satisfy hunger, of course, there is no need to be a pity, just drink it happily.
Li Ding and the three of them, together with the blonde and blue-eyed lion girl Alba, sat on the main stage set up in the square, eating meat and drinking to their heart's content. From time to time, someone came up to the stage and toasted Li Ding and the others. Li Ding and the three of them did not postpone it, the wine was dry, and they drank until their faces were red.
Zhao Linger was originally a little repulsed by the giant locust meat, but after tasting it, she was full of praise and ate it with a mouth full of oil.
Halfway through the banquet, Alba gave a vague look to a few orc women in the audience, and those orc women understood with an ambiguous smile on their faces. Then he walked into the crowd and kept quietly passing the news.
After that, the orcs who came to the stage to toast again focused on Zhao Ling'er and Lu Jianke. For today's biggest hero Li Ding, he doesn't pay much attention to it. They took turns toasting Zhao Ling'er and Lu Jianke, and within a while, they poured the two daughters into a drunken haze.
And while Lu Jianke and Zhao Ling'er were busy parrying, Alba had already sat next to Li Ding without a trace.
"Ten years ago, the city we lived in was destroyed by a thunderstorm. Although his father is a prince-level lion king, he still has nothing to do in the face of thunderstorms. Of the 50,000 people, there are less than 15,000 people left. My mother and two older brothers, one sister and one younger sister, died in that disaster.
"My father took the rest of the people, moved thousands of miles, and lost more than 8,000 lives on the way, and finally found a good place to build a city and live in peace, so he built this yellow sand city here. Over the past ten years, the population of the city has gradually multiplied. There were also small tribes that joined one after another, and not long ago, there were finally 12,000 more.
"But I didn't expect that after less than ten years of stability, there would be a flying demon lizard crossing the border. As a result, under the first battle, all the masters in the city were lost, and nearly 4,000 elite warriors were killed. My father, my last brother, and last sister all died in that battle...... "I thought that the disaster was over, and the sacrifices of my father and the martyrs could bring us a comfortable life, and I didn't want another locust plague......"
Alba sat beside Li Ding, drinking wine and muttering about their suffering: "If it weren't for your appearance, Huangsha City would not have lasted for the night, and it would have been lost." When the time comes, more than 3,000 children born in the city during this decade will be killed in locusts. You are the ones who saved us. Thank you, Richard, and I'll toast you again!"
She raised her wine glass to Li Ding, tilted her neck, and drank the wine in the half-catty glass.
Li Ding also drank the full glass of wine in one gulp, and then said softly: "No need to thank you anymore, you have already thanked you many times today." ”
To tell the truth, hearing Alba tell the story of the tribal suffering made Li Ding very touched. I also have a little more understanding of the mood of the wild alien race constantly plotting against Zhongzhou.
But understanding is understanding, but there is a saying that the ass decides the head. Li Ding has the butt of the Terran, and what he thinks in his head is, of course, only the interests of the Terran - maybe he is not noble enough to consider the interests of the Terran as a whole, and even if he wants to think about it, with his current status, he is really not qualified. However, there is also a saying that the humble does not dare to forget the country. is a weak and humble person, as a human race, he can only consider the human race, and Li Ding can't deviate his position no matter what.
He didn't mind making a few friends from an alien race, or even helping a suffering wild alien tribe. But if one day they meet on the battlefield, then he can only say sorry, and then drive the big ship on a rampage, bombarding the artillery and killing the enemy.
Complicated thoughts flashed, and looking at the beautiful face of the lion girl, Li Ding's eyes became a little softer.
For your sake, today, I will forget about our hostile identity for the time being, and not fight your idea of fighting that God of War Tower!
The God of War Tower is the iron tower in the city. The defensive cover that guards the city is issued by the Tower of the God of War. The powerful fireball was also launched by the God of War Tower. Originally, Li Ding coveted this tower very much, and even after blending in as a hero, he still remembered to swallow the God of War Tower with the Ruyi Divine Stick. Just wait for the dead of night to do it.
But now, he still pressed that thought.
"It's not too much to thank you 10,000 times!" Alba giggled, his face flushed, his eyes burning, and he looked directly at Li Ding: "If it weren't for you, I would have died in the city and died in the belly of locusts." It's because of you that I'm alive!"
"That's a big deal. Li Ding was a little embarrassed by her burning gaze, lowered his head with a slightly red face, and said, "As a compatriot, I should have watched and helped each other. Only in this way can we survive in the wilderness. Today I am helping you, maybe one day, you will help me. ”
"If I can help you, I can't ask for it. It's a pity ......" She looked at Lu Jianke and Zhao Ling'er, who had been drunk by a large number of orcs: "The women around you are so powerful. And I don't know what day it will take to catch up with you and follow you......"
"There will be that day. Li Ding poured a glass of wine and raised his glass: "You are the daughter of the prince-level lion king, one day, you will also become so powerful!"
The master of the lion clan, the prince-level lion king, is equivalent to the Yin God-level Terran monk. In the wild realm, there are many such lion kings. It can be said that just one beast clan has more Yin God-level masters than all the Yin God-level masters of the human race combined.
However, the Savage Realm is too treacherous. The prince-level lion king may also die at any time due to various natural disasters and desolate beasts. Even the extremely powerful Hercules clan occasionally has cases of accidental death, not to mention the beast clan whose individual strength is far inferior to that of the Hercules clan.
"Well, I know that as long as I can live, I can become the Lion King sooner or later. The girl looked at Li Ding, her eyes gradually blurred, she suddenly grabbed Li Ding's hand, got up and said, "You come with me!"
As he spoke, he pulled Li Ding and walked off the stage.
As a lion, her strength far surpasses that of Li Ding. Li Ding couldn't help himself, so he could only be pulled down by her. He didn't know what she wanted to do, so he could only shout, "Alba, where are you going to take me?" My friend is getting drunk, I have to take care of ......."
"Don't worry about them, I've already arranged it, someone will take care of them, and I promise that nothing will go wrong!" the girl said loudly, ignoring Li Dingna's weak struggle for her, and pulled him into the audience. Everywhere they passed, the orcs gave way one after another, and cheered in groups. Some of the orc children even screamed: "The princess has pulled Richard into the cave!" The adults not only did not reprimand, but instead of making trouble.
And Alba, although he was coaxed to blush a little, still pulled Li Ding to stride away, without a trace of shyness.
The folk customs of the beast clan are so strong.
Zhao Ling'er and Lu Jianke on the stage were still being poured wine, and they were about to get drunk. Several orc women had already stood by the two of them, and it seemed that they were waiting for them to fall, and they were about to carry them down to rest.
Albara pulled Li Ding out of the square, all the way back to the city lord's mansion, which had nothing to do with gorgeousness, only rough and simple.
"It's here!" After entering the house, she pulled Li Ding into a slightly more delicately furnished house and pushed him onto the bed covered with animal skins. Then he locked the door.
"You, what are you going to do?" Li Ding sat on the bed and looked at her a little nervously.
"What am I going to do?" Alba stretched out her pink fragrant tongue and licked her lips, with a little drunkenness, and smiled charmingly: "We lion women, pull men into the room, what else can we do besides that?" As she spoke, she walked towards Li Ding step by step. As you walk, untie your clothes. In two clicks, the plain clothes were completely undressed, revealing a delicate body as delicate as water......
