Chapter 9: Talking about the Wall

Just when both sides were secretly preparing for their respective abacus, half a month later, the most important festival among the orcs, the God of War Festival finally began.

On the hill against which Fangs City rests, a huge statue of the god of war is carved on the top of the mountain, and the half-human, half-beast god of war opens his hands and looks majestically down the northern wasteland below, showing the orcs' reverence for it.

On the day of the festival, the huge statue of the god is decorated, the neck and body of the god of war are covered with red silk cloth symbolizing glory, and a row of twelve huge braziers below is also lit with blazing fire, and countless orcs rush to the shrine at the foot of the statue to pay homage to their most revered deity.

Unlike the ant-possessed, solemn religious underfoot, the Fangs City is a different scene. The whole city was immersed in the carnival of worshipping the god of war, countless orcs crowded the streets and alleys, drinking spirits, eating cold and bloody raw meat, all kinds of beast shouts and screams, and from time to time a terrible roar resounded through the sky.

If it is said that the royal capital celebrations of the Kingdom of Dinar are famous for their grand processions, solemn ceremonies, and carnivals from all over the continent. Then, the orcs god of war festival has a bloody and barbaric style unique to orcs.

Due to their extreme belief in the god of war, the orcs believed that blood was the best sacrifice for Pheris. Therefore, in the temple of the god of war on the mountainside, many fanatical believers will mutilate their limbs, they use knives to cut wounds on their bodies, and while making a wish to the god of war, they spray blood at the foot of the idol, and the scene is full of blood, and the scene is extremely terrifying.

And in the city, the drunken orcs will use their fists and feet for the most trivial things, and there are not a few who use weapons. But unlike usual, no one would pay attention to them at this time, and the streets were littered with wounded orcs who had fallen to the ground, while others were casually drinking around them, blood seeping into the floors and walls along with the spilled liquor.

The fanged city of the festival was lit like a brazier at the feet of the god of war, and it was burning violently with blood and madness. Still, it's a scorching heat that only orcs can enjoy.

This is the carnival of the orcs, a bloody festival. In the eyes of other races, there is probably no better way to show the cruel and savage side of orcs, but in the hearts of orcs, this is an extremely sacred moment.

So there's nothing to blame, because they're just paying homage to God in their own way.

It was at this time that Raymond sat cross-legged at the head of the city, indifferently watching the carnival below.

The roars and laughter of the orcs pierced his ears like a tidal wave, but never like this moment, Raymond felt out of place with the "compatriots" below. Since he was a child, every God of War festival has made him have this strange sense of detachment, and this time, this feeling is even worse.

"Perhaps, I'm really a peculiar guy. As an orc, he couldn't fit into the atmosphere of the festival, even Raymond couldn't help but think so.

"Young Master, what are you thinking?" Suddenly, Bathter's head protruded from behind his shoulder, "Why don't you attend the festival?"

Catwoman looked enviously at the wanton debauchery of the orcs below, and her beautiful pupils had an irrepressible impulse. After all, she was a 100% orc, and her heart had already burned due to the atmosphere in front of her.

However, her loyalty to Raymond made her choose to stay with her master.

Raymond said casually: "Anyway, it's nothing, if you want to go, go down." ”

"No, if you don't go, I'll stay here. Catwoman shook her head resolutely.

Scold... There is really nothing to do with this stupid person, Raymond couldn't help but shake his head and smile, but at the same time, he also felt a warmth in his heart, compared to those people who are related by blood, but regard him as an alien and avoid him, it is this stupid catwoman who was picked up at the beginning, who has always been by his side.

The master was reluctant to move, so Baster could only rest his head at Raymond's feet and look boredly at the white clouds in the sky. But after a while, she couldn't stand it anymore and flipped around on the ground: "Meow, it's so boring, is it just the two of us here?"

Compared with the scene of the orcs drinking and noisy below, the world is turned upside down, only their city head has a different kind of desertion, although the noise of the noise keeps coming from below, but there is a strange sense of silence.

"Alright, somebody's coming in with something interesting. Suddenly, Raymond slapped Bath.

"Where?" Bath jumped up in excitement.

But as soon as she looked at it, she sat back down dejectedly: "It turned out to be this guy, he is not interesting at all." ”

But not far away, Luz was slowly walking towards this side with his characteristic steady footsteps.

Seeing Bathter's unintentional appearance, Raymond smiled, rubbed her little head, and got up to greet Luz.

"How's it going, is everything ready?"

Lutz respectfully saluted Raymond: "It's all ready, the pontoon bridge over the Havedan River has been erected, and I have used some small means to hide it so that no one will find out." ”

In the past half a month, Raymond went to the West City Gate several times to check the preparations, and dealt with Luz several times, and he was deeply impressed by the other party's stability and ability.

What's especially remarkable is that due to his previous adventure career, Luz is not as rigid as most orcs, but has a flexible mind that does not match his appearance, and his command ability is also good, he is really a pretty good general.

It is a waste of talent for such a person to be trapped in the position of the captain of the city gate guard for so long. It seems that no matter whether there will be an accident at the festival or not, you have to recommend this person to your mother.

Just as Raymond was thinking this, he heard Luz say, "However, just in case, more people are needed to guard the city gates. Your Highness, can you send me some more?"

Raymond shook his head and said, "I can't hide any troop transfer from my mother, but I don't want her to know about these things. I don't know if there are any of those people in the military, so it's better not to take any chances. ”

Hearing this, Luz didn't show the slightest disappointment, just nodded calmly: "Understood, I'll find another way." ”

"Tonight's festival night is very important, and I have to be with my mother, so it's all up to you. Raymond stretched deeply: "Oh, I wish we were all busy for nothing." ”

Luz didn't answer, but walked to the wall and quietly watched the cheering orcs below.

Raymond walked over to him and looked down like Lutz. Suddenly, he asked, "Luz, I'm a guy who is hated by other orcs, why are you willing to do things for me, is it because of your loyalty to the royal family, or do you want to get another chance to be promoted from me?"

Lutz said indifferently without looking back: "During the civil war, I also led more than 1,000 troops, but after so many years, I found that what I missed the most was the time when I was an adventurer. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Raymond and said, "When I was an adventurer, I had the most contact with humans, and His Highness's appearance would not have any problems with me. The reason why I help you is only because I feel that what you are doing is the right thing and that you are doing your duty, and you must do your best. ”

Raymond looked at Luz and a bright smile gradually bloomed on his face: "God, I've never seen a guy who can talk more than you, and this is what I learned when I was an adventurer?"

Lutz couldn't help but be stunned for a moment by Raymond's words, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Suddenly, Raymond felt that it was a remarkable achievement to embarrass such a steady guy. For a moment, he put his arm around Luz's shoulders, and then beckoned to Catwoman, who was lying on the ground with her limbs spread out in boredom.

"Bath, let's go, let's go down there too. ”

"Huh?" Baster was stunned for a moment, then turned over and got up in ecstasy: "Meow, is it true?"

"yes, because I suddenly wanted to drink. ”

"Your Highness, I still have to guard the city gate at night, it's really inappropriate..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just give me a little bit, and you should be an adventurer again. ”

Raymond couldn't help but say, and pulled Luz away. Lutzben was about to say more, and when he heard this, a hint of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and he said no more.

Then, the bouncing Baster opened the way in front, and the group of three gradually integrated into the carnival Fangs City...
