After a late lunch, Leah decides to go to the duel with Leona, and she's really afraid that the reckless friend will make another mistake.

In view of the fact that Snow Lotus City is not safe, and Kalian, who is busy with official duties, does not know how to do anything, so she has to send two knights to follow them, these two knights are the two we knew before, Eden and Georgie.

The distribution of Snow Lotus City is such that the towering castle and moat, because it is winter, the water in the river has been drained, and under the dry riverbed are sharp stalagmites. Beyond that is the civilian settlement, which is quite safe because it is surrounded by the walls of the outer fort. As Leah and Leona were walking down the road to their settlement, they came across something that wasn't very interesting.

All residential areas are inseparable from the square, and in such a world where there are no computers and no televisions, people gather in such an open area to gossip after work on a sunny day.

But today it was different, there were countless shelves erected in the square, oh, they were not for shows or dancing gods, they were called - gallows.

"Public executions of orcs, every week Snow Lotus City captures some orc captives, and those guys are publicly hanged like this on weekends. ”

Seeing Leah and Leona's curious eyes, Eden explained.

"Just hang like that?"

Leah was a little curious, didn't the captives be used for ransom.

"The orcs won't ransom these fools, it stands to reason that we can execute these ghosts on the spot directly on the battlefield, but in order to improve the morale of the inhabitants of the city, some of the orcs will be captured, given no food, only some water, and on the weekend, just like this, they will be sent to the gallows to show the residents. ”

As they spoke, they quickly came to the crowd, and when they saw the knights coming, they consciously moved out of the way. Under Kalian's rule, the knights and soldiers of Snow Lotus City had a good reputation, and the people were very tolerant of the lawless elements who shouted in the tavern when there was no task and then wandered drunkenly through the streets. In this way, several people came to the gallows.

The orc race is not strictly a single race, they are a general term for various beast-type sub-humans, such as jackals, kobolds, centaurs, etc., and their relationship with humans is not static, some of them are hostile creatures, such as the kobolds in the Cold Lake mines, some are neutral creatures, such as the centaurs in the Elven Forest, and of course there are friendly ones, such as the scattered orcs in Ed Nihua, and they even have legal resident certificates.

However, in the area north of Snow Lotus City, this qiē has changed, and Kelbride Mountain, which is the northernmost mountain range located in the entire Evite Continent, is just like the meaning of "Kelbride" in the lingua franca of Evite, a bridge between heaven and earth. It is the highest mountain range in the world, with vast permafrost coniferous forests and grasslands underneath. The world's largest orc tribe lives here.

"I always thought centaurs were neutral. ”

Leah noticed that among the orcs, there were two centaurs.

"None of the orcs here are neutral, they all have fallen and committed unpardonable sins. The same goes for these centaurs, who are mounted archers for orc troops, but honestly, even if they are enemies, their archery skills deserve respect. ”

Looking at the centaur, Qiao Ji said regretfully, the warrior will always pity the warrior, even if the other party is an enemy.

These orcs are yellow-skinned, and they look like they are almost going to die if they are left alone. But this is not surprising, as Eden said, the soldiers will not give these captives a meal, although this seems to be suspected of mistreating prisoners of war, but it is very effective, a well-fed orc is difficult to trap even with steel chains, they are all excellent warriors, even if they do not have good weapons, they are born with a much stronger physique than humans. But as long as there is no food to eat, even the dragon will languish from hunger.

Despite this, the physical weakness did not seem to affect their spirits, and although there was no glimmer of hope in the eyes of each orc, they seemed calm, as if they were comfortable accepting the impending death.

Finally, the hanging began, and the fellows were herded onto the gallows and put on a hemp rope the size of a man's arm, mixed with steel wire.

"O filthy human, you have defiled the light of Mother Earth, you have made this land hopeless, and I curse you, that one day Mother Earth will tear her body apart and consume your body and soul—!!"

At the moment when the lever of the gallows was about to be pulled, a Minotaur roared loudly, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and his loud voice echoed throughout the square.

But all this righteous roar was exchanged for curses and dirty water from the inhabitants of Snow Lotus City, and this biting cold sewage poured from all directions, and even the executioner under the gallows had the misfortune to receive such a great gift - he was shot while lying down, well, although the poor creature did not lie down.

Finally, when enough water had been splashed, the executioner pulled the lever violently, and the wooden planks on the gallows where the prisoners stood collapsed with a clatter, and the orcs fell straight under the force of gravity, and then finally the lasso, which had been rapidly tightened by the impact, broke the neck bone and made an ominous sound.

When the hanging was over, the crowd left the crowd and began to continue walking out of the city.

"I think those orcs are pathetic. ”

On the way, Leona whispered that it was hard not to be moved by the calm appearance of the orcs and the awe-inspiring declaration of the minotaur warrior before he died.

"I understand your thoughts, kid. But remember, for the enemy, sympathy is not necessary, that will kill you. ”

Sympathizing with the enemy is an easy mistake for recruits to make, and it's fatal. Not to mention that although Leona is a bit 9, she is still a sentimental girl at heart. Hearing her words, Eden gently stroked the girl's hair and said, they already knew about Leona on the way here, and this brave girl quickly won the favor of the two, so they have taught each other as their own juniors at this moment.

"Everyone on the battlefield thinks they're on the side of justice, don't be naïve, Leona. Those guys don't deserve sympathy, to be precise, it's a good thing you didn't say that before the gallows, if the townspeople had heard, they would have beaten you to the ground. ”

Georgie pulled Lei's #Sex Novelhttp://wWw./class12/1.html Oni turned around and pointed to a woman who was crying and cursing in front of the hanged orc, and continued: "See that lady? She had just given birth to a child, and her husband went out hunting in the middle of winter in order to make her something delicious...... Yes, you know, one of the six hunters we met was beheaded by the orcs. You see, this lady is very young, and she has just given birth to a widow, and this is all thanks to the orcs. There are so many people here who have similar stories, so don't say to them that the orcs are pitiful, that will ruin you. ”

"Actually, if we get caught by the orcs, the results will only be worse, although they don't eat people like ogres, but guess what happens if you get caught by them?"

Finally, Eden lowered his body and said in Leona's ear maliciously, "They will strip you naked, tie you to a wooden frame, and then the shaman of the clan will disembowel you with a bull-eared knife and use it as a ritual to purify Mother Earth." Oh, you're a girl, and before that, maybe there's a process that men don't have, so I'm not going to talk about it, just think about it. If one day you will go to war like us, don't be merciful there!"
