Chapter Seventy-Nine: Employed Bantu

"Huh? Well? Well? Bai Ke was stunned, "What's the matter?" This Bantu would actually hire adventurers to help them fight against the monsters of the snowy mountains? Aren't the Bantu people very much worshipping bravery, how can they invite outsiders to participate in the war when they encounter a monster riot in the snow mountain? You must know that the Bantu people are very repulsive to outsiders! ”

Orka saw Bai Ke's hesitant face, he was also a human spirit, and immediately whitened the concerns in Bai Ke's heart. He had to speak: "We Bantu are very sincere. In this Snow Mountain Monster Riot, we are willing to provide backup supplies and intelligence support to the hired adventurers. The reward is some of our Bantu specialties, and if you want gold, you can do that. ”

Speaking of this, Orka suddenly thought that Bai Ke had spent a lot of money during this time, and it seemed that he was not bad at money, so he changed his words and said: "If you don't want money, we Bantu can also use magic items to offset the commission." ”

At this time, Bai Ke was greatly surprised, you must know that the Bantu tribe has always been strong in the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain, how could he say such a gentle and soft word? What he didn't know was that Orka was also out of desperation. The Ice Dragon Skasa had only awakened more than twenty years ago, when the Bantu were forced to move south and fought a second snowy battle with the Empire. In that battle, the Bantu were defeated by the prepared empire, suffered heavy losses, and were almost wiped out. If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Army went to crusade against Skasa because of lack of greed and great joy, and the main force all marched north, and as a result, the entire army was wiped out in front of Skasa, then there might really be no Bantu on the continent now. This shows how great the losses of the Bantu in that battle were.

The former patriarch of the Bantu tribe worked hard and worked hard for more than ten years before the strength of the Bantu tribe was slightly restored. When Buwanga became the new patriarch, the Bantu clan gradually grew in popularity, and a large part of it was because of Buwanga's personal strength. As a well-known sword master in the mainland, Buwanga has brought a lot of prestige to the Bantu people. However, Buwanga himself was obsessed with swordsmanship, and although he was also politically wise, he did not have much time to deal with the trivial affairs of the clan, so now the general affairs of the Bantu tribe are basically handled by Orka.

It can be said that the current Bantu tribe is being regained little by little by Orka, and he really does not want to see his own tribe encounter setbacks again before it grows stronger. This time the monsters in the snow mountain rioted, with the strength of the Bantu tribe, it does not mean that they must not be able to resist the past, but then the losses will be heavy, which is obviously not what Orka is willing to see.

But the problem is that the Bantu people do not have a good relationship with the empire due to the Snow Battle, and the Duchy of Belmar in the southwest is still under the threat of the empire, and it is a little anxious, and it is impossible for these two countries to give assistance to the Bantu people. As a last resort, Orka turned his mind to adventurers who had become more and more active on Arad in recent years.

Wannian Snow Mountain is a very cold and remote place, and the Bantu people who live here are also very reluctant to outsiders, but there are always some adventurers who like it here, and they have to come here from thousands of miles away. They usually ignore the world, and only concentrate on penance on the snow-capped mountains, in order to improve their will and skills in an extremely difficult environment, and obviously Bai Ke is also one of them.

The strong are given preferential treatment wherever they are, and in the face of these powerful professionals, even the Bantu have to make concessions. As long as they did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Bantu clan, the Bantu clan acquiesced to them staying in the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain to cultivate. However, now the situation has changed, in the face of the riot of a large group of monsters, the Bantu clan lacks combat strength, and these cultivators on the snowy mountains are favored by them.

These cultivators are bent on cultivating in the mountains, and their professional level is generally high, which is a great force, and Orka naturally wants to take the power of these people into his own hands. In addition, he has also sent people to the Principality of Belmar, which has a good relationship, to issue a bounty and hire adventurers there to come to the snowy mountains to fight.

Since Orka happened to be near this small tribe under the Toulouse clan, he heard the news of Bai Ke and knew that he had the strength equivalent to that of a high-level professional, and such strength was no longer weak in the case of the awakening of the strong people in the mainland, so he personally came over to invite Bai Ke. However, these things involved a lot of internal affairs of the Bantu tribe, and as the deputy patriarch of the Bantu tribe, it was impossible for Orka to reveal to Bai Ke that he was only luring Bai Ke into the war in a luring way.

Bai Ke looked at Orka's expression and felt that he was quite sincere, but Bai Ke had already planned his next trip. The hired Bantu seemed to be in conflict with his plans to travel to Mount Kanak, so he still couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing that Bai Ke hadn't made a decision yet, Okar looked a little impatient, after all, he was the deputy patriarch of the Bantu clan, dealing with the daily affairs of hundreds of thousands of people, even if Bai Ke was a high-level professional, it was not worth his spending a lot of time too diligently.

Bai Ke noticed the change in Orka's expression, he thought for a while and asked, "Regarding the situation of the monster riot in the Snow Mountain, can you explain to me in detail?" ”

Seeing that Bai Ke also seemed to be a little moved, Orka thought for a while and said: "In recent years, I don't know what the reason is (in fact, he knows some, after all, his eldest brother Buwanga participated in the crusade against Shylock), the number of monster mutations and riots on the continent has increased significantly, and the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain has also been affected, and from time to time there are monsters going crazy and rioting. At this time, the weather happened to be the best time of the year, and all kinds of resources were relatively abundant, so the monsters of the snow-capped mountains rioted en masse, going all the way south from the north in a row, devouring everything like locusts. ”

"I see..."Bai Ke had not expected this to happen, and it seemed that his hopes of going to Kanak Mountain were dashed. Because he was weak and weak, he was obviously unable to break through the blockade of the southbound monster army, let alone fight against the entire riot group alone.

Since this is the case, Bai Ke has no need to hesitate, he said directly to Orka: "In this way, I am white, I am willing to accept your employment and help you fight against the monster riot." ”

Orka was overjoyed when he heard this, grabbed Bai Ke's hand and said, "Good, good! I thank you on behalf of the Bantu people, and may we have a happy cooperation. ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Bai Ke also shook his hand.

Now that an agreement has been reached with Orca, Bai Ke will not continue to stay in this Toulus tribe, and he will follow Orca directly. After all, it was an army of monsters that rioted, and Orka needed to make corresponding military deployments, and he would not let Bai Ke go to hunt monsters alone.

Since the monsters came from the north, Orka led a group of subordinates and took several adventurers, including Bai Ke, all the way north to intercept the monsters in the snow mountains. They walked to a narrow valley in the north, beside which there was a checkpoint, and Orka had placed Bai Ke there, accompanied by five Bantu warriors. I don't know if Orka is worried about the adventurers staying together, and wants to disperse them to monitor, this outpost only has Bai Ke and an outsider, and there are no other adventurers.

At this time, the tide of riots had not yet surged here, and the sentry appeared to be very calm, so Bai Ke chatted and farted with the five Bantu soldiers every day, and the life was quite comfortable. In addition to bragging and chatting, Bai Ke's remaining time is mainly spent on cultivation, and now that cultivation has been carved into his bones, as long as he has time, he will not waste it.

By observing the power of Bai Ke's cultivation, these five warriors could easily judge Bai Ke's strength, and there was no doubt that he was a senior professional. For these warriors, who were no more than beginners in the middle level, they were obviously very powerful, so they all admired Bai Ke.

In the evening of that day, Bai Ke finished his day's cultivation and returned to the outpost to rest, and a young Bantu warrior brought him a large piece of cheese, two pieces of cured meat, and a small handful of dried vegetables, which was Bai Ke's meal tonight. This food is already very abundant for the ordinary warriors of the Bantu tribe, after all, the Bantu people as a whole are still quite poor, and the ordinary warriors are not qualified to eat and drink. Bai Ke didn't refuse the food, he chewed it heavily, and quickly ate it all. Having had the experience of lacking food and clothing in the snowy mountains, Bai Ke is not a picky eater now, let alone wasteful.

After eating, Bai Ke began to close his eyes and digest food. At this time, a young warrior seemed to be unable to bear the loneliness of these days, and began to speak.

"I don't know when those monsters are coming, so it's really irritating to wait like this!"

The captain of the oldest and strongest intermediate warrior in the team heard the words and said, "You, you're still too young! It's best if those monsters don't come, and if they do, we're afraid we're going to have a lot of casualties! ”

"You, how can you say that?" The little warrior exclaimed, "We are warriors, and fighting is our nature and mission!" ”。

"Well, young man, you were born late and do not know the cruelty of war. I was a little younger than you when the Second Battle of Snow broke out, but I was also involved in that battle. At that time, the dead people were like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and there was no one of the three Bantu people, so it can be said that all the young and strong men died, and only some old and weak women and children remained. It was so horrific that I still have nightmares when I think about it. The old soldier seemed to be haunted by the battle, and as he spoke, a look of horror appeared on his face.

Bai Ke looked at him and shook his head, this old soldier's strength is still good, in Bai Ke's opinion, it can be comparable to an intermediate professional. But he was clearly frightened by the bitterness of the war and had lost his enterprising spirit. On the contrary, it is the weaker but younger warriors who are more energetic, and they are the backbone of the future of the Bantu.
