Chapter 102: This Road Doesn't Go Through11

At first, the orcs were still in revelry, with generals boasting about their performances on the battlefield and belittling their enemies, merchants inquiring about the prices of slaves and booty in order to gain more for their leaders, and slaves serving food before they could be cut off in a hurry.

I don't know who shouted, "Coward!" and the two orcs scuffled. The other orcs laughed, getting out of the way for them to attack each other, occasionally handing cups or chairs. An orc pulls a human slave next to him and throws him into the battlefield. The hapless slave soon broke his head and bled out, and then fell to the ground and died.

As the fight progressed, the scene began to become chaotic, and the onlookers began to push each other. Under the curse of the wraith, negative emotions are amplified, and waves of anger, hatred, and mania come from all directions, engulfing the entire town. "Coward!" someone screamed. "Traitor! lackey!" another voice rose again, gradually forming the main theme. Soon the town became a collection of orc slurs, many of which could not be translated into other languages. All of them became manic and blind, so no one could smell danger. Everyone desperately vented the restlessness in their hearts, using foul language, fists and teeth, until it became a big fight.

Bacon Town became a real battleground, and everyone, young and old, empty-handed and armed, pushed and flocked to the meat grinder in the lodging area. Stones, wood, and even dung and sludge were weaponized, and they shouted "Kill the traitor!" and "For the power of the Beastmaster!" as they burst through the arsenal and grabbed their swords, guns, and halberds, the slogans changed to "Kill the orc mongrel" and "Kill the orc fools, we're in charge". The slaves took advantage of the chaos to escape, but lit fires around the town. The whole town was filled with blood and fire, killing and.

The actions that the orcs imposed on other races were reproduced on this day in the orcs themselves. Siegel observes it through the eyes of a raven, like an immobile reef in a stormy sea, the only calm observer. He was glad that he was now in undead form and had almost no mood swings, otherwise the madness would have infected him like a plague and made him lose self-control.

If I were in human form, I would have gone crazy for this terrible situation, even if I wasn't affected by the spell, Siegel thought to himself. There had been many times when he had envisioned exterminating the orcs and making their evil deeds disappear from the world along with death. 'This is a depraved race, and they will do nothing but evil, let them all go to hell!' Siegel had always thought that he would harden his heart and take pleasure in destroying evil. But now he was witnessing the destruction of the orcs, and he was not in the mood for pleasure at all.

On the contrary, if it weren't for the undead state, he might even shed a tear for the orcs.

Siegel pondered why he had formed such ambivalence. Is it chivalry, mercy, or hypocrisy? The advantage of being in the state of the dead is to be able to think with extreme calmness, and only absolute reason exists, without impulsiveness and uneasiness. It took him a long time to finally understand that it was his remaining humanity.

As an enemy, Siegel will not hesitate to stick a weapon into the heart of an orc, whether it is with a sword or a spell, a serious battle or a use of intrigues, which he can accept. But he would still shed tears and feel pain over the loss of his life. There is a difference between fighting and slaughter, and it is this distinction that draws the line between good and evil, and distinguishes man from beasts.

Siegel saw General Kaka, who had just killed a centurion and had the long knife stuck in the bones of the corpse and couldn't pull it out. A bumpy stone was thrown from the crowd and slammed into his armor, causing it to be scattered in all directions. Several slaves picked up the burning wooden block and threw it at Kaka like a meteor streaked across the sky. The flags with knives in their hearts were torn apart, and some of the angry slaves ate the fragments, with a ferocious expression as if they were chewing the flesh of the slave owner. However, they soon got what they wanted, and in the midst of the chaos, many orcs were pulled down by human slaves, dragged down the alleys, and smashed and torn into thousands of pieces of flesh. The humans who had eaten the flesh of the orcs seemed to have awakened, sweating profusely and foaming at the mouth, pounced on the orcs and half-orcs like raging beasts. Even the most skilled commanders struggled to survive the melee, and they were soon besieged by a steady stream of enemies, trapped in a maelstrom of flesh and blood. General Kaka saw that two of his captain's guards had died one after another, and that more and more people had gathered around him. He pulled out an amulet, held it aloft, and chanted aloud, "Valadu Bang!" As a puff of black smoke rose as General Kaka disappeared from the chaotic battlefield.

The cries of deserters, cowards, and traitors were incessant, and a few orc generals barely kept their senses awake, witnessing Kaka's escape, believing it to be an elaborate trap: the skinning warlords were preparing to purge dissidents and expand their power in the rear. It occurred to them that Skinny Waga was now controlling the passage of the Walled Mountains, and that he could make the two-headed wolf and Ironfoot lose their way out if he wanted to. This speculation has taken root in their minds, and this is the work of the Knox Guild, and if the entire Wasteland of Tears is to be plunged into even greater chaos, these affected generals are the spark for the next riot. Under special care, the general, who had such thoughts, was let out and was able to escape the town.

Siegel watched coldly, his strength was simply not enough to change the situation, even if he wanted to take the opportunity to save those escaped slaves, but with his current ability, neither force nor mana could do this. There was no way he could lead these people out of the bloody way, let alone how to get back to civilization through the blockade of the city walls and mountains. The biggest possibility is that he will be killed as soon as he enters the battlefield, regardless of whether he encounters an orc, half-orc or human. Siegel's skeleton form was so fragile that he found it easy for a weapon to shatter or break bones. He was a little unsure of what the damage in the skeletal state would have when he turned back into flesh and blood, but it certainly wouldn't be intact. The most painful thing for Siegel in the whole affair was the inability to save the poor slaves.

Just as Siegel was thinking this, he saw a cloud of black smoke come to the ruins of the tavern. General Kaka resurfaced from the black smoke, covering his mouth and trying to hold back his cough. The talisman in his hand had been turned into pieces, and he should have exhausted his strength.

"Traitors, all traitors!" the general roared excitedly: "I will first peel off your skins, and then cut off all your heads!"

A group of orcs clamored as they approached, and the general immediately closed his mouth, his bright eyes hiding behind the wreckage of the ruins to observe. After the orcs joined the chaotic battlefield, he sat down with confidence, opened his fanny pack, and began to rummage through it.

The raven flew quietly to the beams of the house and peeked down. I saw that the general's small pocket was full of various amulets, most of them in the orc style, but there were also dwarven and human-style magical items in them. Siegel sensed that the entire magic circle did not affect Kaka, but it was definitely not because of his lack of ability or that Kaka was strong enough, but simply because letting Kaka go would cause greater chaos in the entire wasteland.

But Siegel didn't want to let him go, he couldn't forget how this vicious general mutilated slaves by skinning. At the evening celebrations, it was Kaka who erected the skinning scaffolds and personally carried out the cruel punishment. While he was doing it, he also taught other generals and commanders to carry forward the matter of skinning. Siegel could not forget the voice that came from that time, he could not tolerate the continuation of such evil, he could not wait for "justice in the future", and he wanted the judgment to be carried out today.

Siegel quickly formed a plan in his mind, then let the raven fly over Kaka's head, catch his attention, and land on top of the secret door. After a few knocks with the beak, Siegel let the raven fly away and find another place to hide.

Such a vision really caught the attention of the general, and he cautiously stepped forward, and soon discovered the secret door. Siegel made other preparations below: he spilled a few barrels of wine on the floor, while he lay on the sidelines, half-covered with a blanket. He thought that there were flaws in the camouflage scene in the form of skeletons, such as when it was impossible that the food here was well preserved, but the corpses had become only skeletons, and for example, from corpses to skeletons, it was not true that there was not enough rancid smell left. So he untied the leather armor, loosened the restraints on his body, and used the power of the dice to transform into another undead creature, the zombie.

Compared to skeletons, turning into a zombie this time gives him a scent, and it is not difficult to strengthen the rancid stench emanating from his body with simple spells. He also threw a dragon's tooth dagger on the ground, deliberately attracting the general's attention.

The secret door was opened, and General Kaka stepped down, armed with a hammer, a spare weapon he had since lost his long knife. His gaze was first on Siegel, but a foul-smelling corpse that was completely immobile quickly disinterested him, and the wine caught his eye. After the chaotic battle, he became very thirsty and needed a drink to moisten his throat.

Kaka walks over to the barrel and sees the Dragon's Tooth Dagger halfway through. The unique shape of the dagger made him happy to see the hunt, and he didn't even care about the wine, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the dagger. The Dragon's Tooth Dagger is of outstanding quality, both in terms of sharpness and appearance. General Kaka's eyes were completely absorbed by this exquisite weapon, so he didn't notice that the zombie in the corner was already standing.

Siegel is not slow and sluggish like a real zombie, and he can even drag rotten flesh to perform elven dance moves. Before the thick ash of the cellar could fly, Siegel had already stabbed another dragon's tooth dagger into the heart of the orc general.

"Die!" The half-body armor did not have the slightest resistance in front of the dragon's teeth, and Siegel could easily pierce through and pull it out. He then stabbed a second and whispered in Kaka's ear, "Die, villain!" and then a third to avenge those who had been skinned.

The orc general tried to struggle, but the Grim Reaper took his last breath before he could raise his hand. Kaka, the skinning general, died in the ashes and dust of the cellar, and he did not know who killed him until he died.

Siegel closed the secret door with a spell, waiting for the first rays of sunlight in the morning to end the chaos in Bacontown.
