At that moment, the human captives were in an uproar!

Only Tails was puzzled:

It seems that this orc ...... Famous?

The commotion continued for a while, until some orcs impatiently "taught" the captives.

A few seconds later.

"Am I so famous?" the orc leader whispered, the scar on his forehead slightly folded.

Dean sneered.

"The Stellar Man, to be exact, the Earl of Windpath Castle of the Clifflands, Hodge Dastan, has offered a bounty for the head of the 'Alien Blood': if I remember correctly, fifteen hundred and fifty-six Tormund coins are accompanied by a lord's manor, and the honor of marrying a noble lady of the House of Dastan. ”

"For the eldest son and heir of the Earl of Dastan who was buried in a foreign land by your raid in the desert war ten years ago. ”

The all-black orc, Kandar Fury, let out a low roar and reached out to hold down one of the guards behind him who wanted to step forward, the blue-faced mace.

The orc Kandal gasped twice and looked at Dean differently.

"But no one has ever received this bounty. It said lightly.

"No, no," Dean sighed, "because you're alive and kicking—"

Dean glanced at the other's wrist and the hideous iron fork attached to it, "I mean, most of the hands and feet are intact here. ”

Kandal curled his lips, more vicious by human standards.

"Not only that, you've joined the Crackstone Tribe," Dean glanced at the three special orcs who were excited because he recognized each other:

"You also have your own holy guard, and you even have the right to speak out in honor of the Crackstone Tribe. ”

The blue-faced orc let out a low roar and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the white-lipped orc with a black bow beside him.

"So, you've become their war chieftain, or are you simply the holy chief of the entire Crackstone tribe?"

Dean squeezed out a smile:

"What shall we call you?

"Or the King of Blood?"

Kandal smiled.

It slowly lowered its iron fork, allowing Dean to soothe his neck.

"The King of Blood?"

"No, I'm not. ”

Kandar turned his head to look at everyone, whether captives or warriors, and said softly, "Only the one who makes the eight major tribes submit at the same time is qualified to ascend the throne of the dragon skeleton, unify the orc tribes and even the boneless, and become a veritable king of the desert." ”

"I'm just a war chieftain, not a king. ”

The orc warlord snorted lightly, and his words were meaningful: "Not for the time being." ”

At this moment, McGee, the desolate bone man in captivity, snorted fiercely.

"Hmph, dream," McGee knelt on the ground, looked at Kandal, and said coldly, "There is no king in the Great Desert, there was none, and there is none. ”

"Not in the future. ”

The old hammer wanted to give him a look, but the Bones clearly didn't care:

"The desert never needed a king, it didn't need unity, it spits and curses every foolish man like you. ”

Kandal turned around and walked over to McGee, looking at the special war streak on his face, his expression moving.

"You're a boneless. ”

"But mingling with outsiders?"

McGee looked at him coldly.

The Orc Warlord snorted coldly, "You're on the wrong side, my Luma. ”

McGee's eyes changed, and he stood up.

"I'm not your Luma!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Also, six hundred years ago, you were also outsiders, gray mongrels!"

The orcs of the Fractured Stone Tribe are not linguists, but they clearly understand the "grey mongrel".

The escort behind McGee mercilessly punched him, then kicked out, knocking the Bones down hard!

The Bones Man fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The abuser was not enough, and was about to step forward and continue.

"Hey, that's enough!"

Luisa roared, "It's not necessary!"

Looking at McGee curled up on the ground, Kandal simply shook his head and stopped the abuser.

"So the rumors are true," Dean said just in time, drawing the Warchief's attention, "You, Kandar Raging Mountain, an ambitious alien species, want to unify the scattered deserts. ”

The Warlord of the Crackstone Tribe grinned, revealing sharp teeth.

"No wonder. Dean nodded stumblingly.

"The Western Wilderness, the Botzdorf family of Heroic Soul Castle," the bald mercenary sighed, "No wonder after the desert war, the famous Black Lion family of the stars will list you as the highest threat, even more so than the tribes who fled to the depths of the desert, and have been hunting you down endlessly for six or seven years. ”

"Compared to the rest of the people who think of you as a little sand thief, they know that you are a threat - you will be a big battle chief after disappearing for a few years, and you are worth the price. ”

Kandal snorted.

"Whether it's the Year of Blood or the War in the Desert - you have a deep enmity with the Kingdom of the Stars, which is why you take the risk to find the truth, and you are willing to do whatever it does to make the Stars unhappy. ”

"Really?"

Tails frowned: This orc is, it is from the Kingdom of Stars...... Mortal enemy?

Kandal exhaled.

It looked at Dean with admiration in his tone, "You're good, Dean - I remember you." ”

Dean sighed slightly.

"Listen, revered alien blood, Kandal Warchief. ”

"I know your feud with the stars, and understand your hatred for them. ”

"But your opponents are the stars, the human nobles who are high above, and their unrivaled armies that sweep through the desert," he shook his head, "and we?"

"We are just caravans that have escaped to make a profit in the face of the blockade, and we are deeply excluded and oppressed by them. ”

Dean grimaced, "We don't know—they won't let us know." ”

Kandal looked into Dean's eyes, his gaze lingering for a long time.

"Yes, you don't know," the orc pursed his vicious lips and said lightly, "and in my experience, if you want to 'know', you need motivation. ”

Dean frowned: "Power?"

Kandal turned around and glanced coldly at the captives.

"If you don't 'know,'" it gritted its teeth with a strange expression, "then you are of no value to me." ”

The people in the caravan began to tremble again.

"But you also took away the battle spirits of the brave men of my four tribes, and seriously injured two of them......"

Kandal said lightly: "My fighters are very dissatisfied. ”

The mercenaries frowned in unison.

The orcs' cold gaze swept toward them again.

At this moment, a trembling voice sounded slightly: "It's them...... Honorable War Chieftain. ”

"It was those who took the spirit of your noble warrior...... It has nothing to do with us......

Everyone's eyes turned to the side: the caravan's owner, Tom Deen, was looking mournful, curling and raising his arms, pointing at Louisa, who was standing up.

Fast rope opened his mouth in disbelief: "You ......"

Kandal smiled.

"What's the matter. ”

"Except for that desolate bone, the fate of all of you will be according to our rules," the War Chief said coldly, "Under the witness of the desert gods and ancestors, it will be decided by an important duel. ”

Thomding retracted back to the ground.

The merchants wailed.

"Hey!" McGee protested angrily, "Count me in!

The orcs behind him pressed him back into the sand.

Luisa exhaled: "So, you still have to use the sword to solve the problem? Very good, old rule: give me a sword, and an opponent." ”

"I'll solve the problem. ”

Kandal looked at Louisa standing in the cold wind, nodded slightly, and then shook his head slightly.

"Nope. ”

"The choice of the duel," the orc leader said in a deep voice, "it's up to me to decide." ”

It's a new step.

"And I will choose the most necessary and urgent duel to decide your fate. ”

Tails shuddered—Kandal was walking towards him again.

Walked towards the teenager.

What the?

Everyone's faces changed.

Luisa's face tightened: "He's just a child!"

Dean frowned, "Stay away from him, at least find someone who is on par." ”

Tails frowned at the orc warchief.

The pure black orc walked up to Tails and watched their reactions, but instead curled his lips: "But you must admit that this Sorino is excellent. ”

As he spoke, Kandal bent over, stroked Tails' right shoulder with his thick left palm, and shook it vigorously!

Under the other party's force, Tails was dizzy, only to feel that the whole world was turned upside down.

"In the battle just now, he really caught my eye. ”

"I don't have the strength of the others, I'm small, and I'm not even used to moving in the desert. ”

Amid the protests of Dean and Louisa, Kandal easily let go of Tails' shoulder, and the latter, who had experienced a whirlwind of the world, only felt a pang of disgust.

"But you played great, Sorino, your every move, perfectly restrained our size and strength, and you coped better than the others. ”

Of course.

It was a swordsmanship that dealt specifically with orcs.

Tails sighed secretly, anxious.

The orc stared at it with a special look and looked behind it.

Tails followed its gaze, and his heart sank: the blue-faced orc held on to its mace, looking at Tails, grinding his teeth.

Kandal's voice changed.

"Ironically, during the raid, we assigned our targets - my holy guard, Duraman ordered his Luma, and his brother Doru to kill you, because you looked the weakest, Duraman thought it was to protect the young and inexperienced Doru. ”

Tails panicked slightly, shuddering slightly.

Young and vigorous Doru?

He remembered the orc he had first met, the moment he had made a hole in its neck with his dagger, and the madness it had been.

So......

Is that......

"It's a pity," the orc warlord sneered, "Duraman's luck and cunning eventually brought misfortune to Doru: Dulaman's mother's compatriot Luma, the young Doru, died at your hands, Sorino." ”

Kandal gestured to the blue-faced orc.

"Hopefully, my holy guard will learn a lesson. ”

It shook its head: "There is no forgiveness. ”

The blue-faced orc, Dulaman, could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, and roared at Tails, "Ahhhhh

Dean's voice rang out disgruntled.

"No, it's me!"

The bald mercenary patted his chest, pointed at Duraman, and shouted to the war chief: "Tell him that I killed the orc!

"Let him come to me!"

Tails looked at them in amazement, and found that Luisa and Old Hammer were also terrified.

Only McGee, the native of the bones, struggled and cursed on the ground.

Worst......

"No, clever Dean, Dulaman told me, he saw it clearly," Kandal said coldly, as he walked around Tails, "You're just the one who cut off Doru's head at the end, and the one who really dealt him a fatal blow to the artery in his neck and made him fall from exhaustion." ”

It pointed at the stunned Tails.

"It's you, Sorino, it's you who took Doru's spirit. ”

It looked at the boy and shook its head slightly: "You are Duraman's Flaka." ”

Tails moved slightly.

I killed Dulaman's brother, so I'm Dulaman's Vlaka.

So, Fraka means ......

His face turned pale.

Kandal raised his intact left hand, beckoned to Durahman in the distance, and said something that Tails did not understand.

"Boom!"

The blue-faced Duraman's mace slammed into the ground, dragging its heavy weapon, staring at Tails with a fierce face, and stepped forward step by step.

Walk towards the faceless Tails.

Kandal said slowly:

"For this, my holy guard has reminded me many times. ”

"Duraman has the right to fight this Sorino in order to retrieve his soul. ”

"The right to ...... Revenge. ”

Kandal patted Tails on the shoulder, so hard that he nearly fell.

But Tails didn't have time to think about it.

Looking at Dulaman's majestic physique, looking at his terrifying weapon, Tails gasped.

What the?

"You promised!" Luisa gritted her teeth, "he can live." ”

Kandal patted himself on the shoulder, his eyes glazed: "Yes, I promised...... He was saved from death in the melee...... But I didn't say that he could refuse a duel from others and be spared a legitimate revenge. ”

"And his duel will decide the lives of the rest of you. ”

Tails' breath froze.

The captives' expressions were gloomy.

"Grass you mother!" the old hammer couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded: "Despicable gray bastard!"

But his protest was quickly and rudely suppressed by the orcs - with fists.

Kandal laughed, "Now, is there enough motivation? Is anyone willing to tell me ......?"

It curled the corners of its mouth in front of the ugly eyes of all the mercenaries: "The reason why the Star Kingdom sent troops strangely?"

"No!"

Luisa protested vehemently, but her shoulders were firmly held down by the escort behind her.

"It's not fair, he's human, we're all human, you can't use orc rules......"

Kandal turned around sharply and said like thunder:

"Don't forget!"

"You are the losers, we are the victors, the heroic Luisa," the dark war chief was already fierce in his own right, but his expression at the moment was even more vicious, blocking Luisa's words:

"And I think that's fair. ”

The orcs began to roar lowly, and it seemed that they were excited by the sight before them.

Unexpectedly, Tails raised his head suddenly:

"Wait, if I win the duel......"

The War Chief slowly turned his head, his bright yellow eyes revealing shrewdness.

Let Tails's words pause slightly.

"If you win the duel, then first of all, the grudge between Duraman and you will be over...... Secondly, you win the duel, and according to my promise, you will be free and can go......"

Tails' heart moved.

He stared at Dulaman's hateful face, and his heart moved: in the face of this opponent, if you use specialized Northland military swordsmanship......

Coupled with the sudden sin of the Prison River, it can even be used to twist the fate of Nicolai......

Maybe there's a chance.

But his hopes were dashed.

I only heard Kandal's words turn around: "However, the duel is not over yet. ”

Tails was stunned.

"As one of the Three Guards, Durahman had sworn allegiance to me with Aku and Lusana, who were not Lummah to each other, but better than Lummah. ”

The Warlord subtly pointed at the other two holy guards: Yaku, who was silently silent with the black bow on his back, and Lusana, who was smiling with a great sword.

"So, once you win, Yaku and Lusana, both of them have the right to challenge you for Luma's defeat and continue this duel. ”

"Challenge their new Flaka. ”

Tails, who was still thinking about the outcome of the game, was stunned for a second.

Wait a minute.

New Flaka?

"What?"

The sluggish teenager's eyes widened and he stretched out two fingers: "Win one, get two?"

Tails turned to Kandal, only to feel that the War Chief's expression was quite smug at the moment, and there was an occasional hint of cunning in his eyes.

Kandal sneered.

"What if...... In case you win them all," the tall orc warlord shook his head, full of regret, "Oh, you defeated the three holy guards of the Warlord of the Fractured Stone Tribe, this is a glorious deed, and you will gain the respect of all the orcs in the desert." ”

The corners of Tails' mouth twitched slightly.

"Thanks, then?"

Kandal's eyes narrowed.

"And then, since you've defeated all three of the Holy Guards that I consider siblings, I see as wings. ”

"Then you will become me, the Vlaka of Kandar Nushan. ”

Tails was completely stunned.

Wardfack?

The war chief said lazily, pointing at Tails and then at himself, and the demonstration shook off the precious fur on his body: "It's me dueling with you......"

More than two?

Tails' expression seemed to be frozen, and he didn't move for a while, except for a pair of eyes, which blinked twice in astonishment.

It is...... It's intentional, right?

"So it's a duel you can't lose...... The rules of bullshit...... Grass you!" Luisa was furious and tried to rush forward, but was suppressed by the orcs behind her.

"Damn," said the old hammer, gritting his teeth at the stunned fast rope beside him, "it just wants us to watch this unfair duel...... Let's slowly collapse and despair......"

Kandal ignored her, it snorted coldly, turned around, and looked at the incredible captives, "Now, someone is willing to tell me what the Kingdom of the Stars ......"

At this moment, Dean's calm voice came:

"Don't forget, he's just a Sorino!"

"According to the custom of the orcs, you have no right to include underage cubs in the challenge!"

Kandal paused slightly.

A thoughtful expression appeared on its face.

"yes, you're just a Sorino. ”

"Sorino has to be a man of passage and become a duel warrior after defeating a recognized opponent," Kandal looked at Tails, a look of embarrassment on his face. ”

"Until then, you are exempt from duels. ”

Luisa breathed a sigh of relief, and the struggle lessened.

Tails also breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Dean.

Fortunately......

But the next moment, Kandal's face changed!

"Good!"

Kandal strode over to Tails and pulled him up!

The orc happily patted his thin shoulder, causing the dazed Tails to shake for a moment.

"Sorino, your name?"

Yes?

Tails looked at Kandal talking to himself with a dizzy look - the orc's slap was so powerful, he swore that if the orcs had been so "friendly" with the merchants every time they bought and sold something, there would probably be no business in the world that the orcs couldn't do.

Tails, who hadn't come back to his senses, was stunned for a moment:

"My name ......"

But Kandal waved his hand heroically!

"It doesn't matter, Sorino! I tell you solemnly: just today, in a battle just now, you defeated Doru, the most recognized brave man of the Fractured Stones!"

Yes?

Tails opened his mouth in a daze.

I saw the orc war chief's face beaming, and his voice was raised:

"The moment you defeat Doru, according to the custom of the orcs, you will no longer be a Sorino!"

Under the huge size difference, it bent over comically, slapped the shoulders of the little human with its left palm and right wrist powerfully, and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations ......"

"You're an adult!"

At that moment, Luisa and Dean were all earthy, McGee's curses became more and more urgent, and the old hammer silently lowered his head and sighed.

Kandal announced something in its language to the orcs around it.

The orcs all roared in low voices, punching their chests, even Durahman, who hated Tails to the bone.

It turned to Tails, but its gaze deliberately scanned the captives around it, "As a witness to the rite of passage, I, the Great War Chief of the Fractured Stones, gloriously bestow on you a new name———— Saika, Killer!

Sai - Sai Ka?

Killer?

No, that's not the point, the point is ......

Tails gasped.

"Now, just an adult Saika," Kandal turned his face cold as the humans were surprised and frightened, and the orcs beat their chests with excitement, "You must accept Duraman's duel." ”

"Save your kindred. ”

The prince took a deep breath and tried to make sense of the current situation.

"Saika—Flaka!" Durahman let out a low growl, and the mace paused heavily on the ground.

The newly grown Saika, oh no, it was Tails, he looked away from the blue-faced orc in a daze, and then looked at the rest of his opponents one by one—if he could win—Yaku with white lips and black bows, and Lusana with the great sword**.

and finally, the eerie-looking Crackstone Tribe vs. Chieftain, the Alien Blood, Kandar Furyshan.

He suddenly felt that the orcs, especially the so-called war chieftain in front of him, could be so hateful and despicable.

They all looked at themselves coldly.

Feeling the weight of the orc Warchief's shoulders, Tails struggled to maintain his balance and exhaled in pain.

"So ......"

Kandar Nushan curled the corners of his mouth into an indiscernible smile, but his face lost all warmth.

It grinded its teeth, pressed Tails, and stared coldly at all the captives in front of it:

"Before the duel begins, before your fate is decided...... Outsiders of the Bladefang Dunes. ”

"Does anyone want to tell me...... What is the purpose of the Star Kingdom's army in the desert?"
