When I walked into the windmill hills, I found that this place would be called Bangor Manor, because there are a large number of sweet potatoes planted on this hilly land, and ridges of dark green heart-shaped leaves of sweet potato seedlings have grown stubbornly and tenaciously in the wind and sand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Before I got here, I never thought that there would be orcs who knew how to plant, and the entire potato field was covered with hundreds of hills and hills, and there was no end in sight.

There are some beast girls on the farm who are only wearing a pair of bullnose pants against the wind and sand, holding a short hoe of animal bones, clearing weeds in the field, it seems, they are a little slow, but everyone is conscientious, they don't even talk to each other, everyone is buried in hard work. At every distance in the fields there were orcs with leather whips, and when they saw our team from afar, they watched with curiosity.

I thought to myself: this place is so rich, this chief Maxine has a unique vision, he actually knows how to plant a batch of sweet potatoes in such a great famine year, and when this batch of sweet potatoes is ripe, I don't know how many orcs can be fed, but I don't know something, I heard the old orc Gribaschen once said that in the edge of the Death Swamp, that is, in the swamp south of Drowned, wild sweet potatoes grow and rot year after year, if it were not for this sudden catastrophe, people were not prepared, the orcs of the Laytu tribe would never starve, just because there are countless sweet potatoes buried under the ground of their homestead。

I think Maxine is a very conservative orc warrior who would rather instruct his orcs to plant these crops than risk digging at the edge of the Death Swamp, an invisible protection for ordinary orcs, and he seems to be a generous and benevolent chieftain.

This was the first thing, and it made me feel a little paradoxical, that there was a lot of sweet potatoes under the drowned marsh next door. It's still hard to plant.

The second thing that made me feel paradoxical was the leather whip in the hands of the orc overseer, obviously these orc women who were working so conscientiously, so why would anyone still supervise their work with leather whips.

And in such a windy weather, just wearing simple cownose pants like a crotch cloth and working against the wind and sand is a little too cruel for those beast girls.

So I was already curious about this chief of Maxine at this time. I'd love to know some of his ideas, and growing potatoes on such a large scale is exactly what I wanted to do with Kuz.

I jumped off the Agimon and hurried after Kuz's argali, and when Kuz saw that I was chasing him, he turned his head and waited for me for a while, pulled me onto his mount, and led me to the chief of Maxine, who was leading the way.

It was only then that I saw the burly orc werewolf warrior Chief Maxine up close. His bare head was tattooed with the tattoo of a human-faced demon spider, and eight sharp, sharp spider legs extended forward to his face. He was born with triangular eyes, a golden closed loop on his big nose, and a wide mouth showing four sharp canine teeth, so he couldn't see that he could be so kind-hearted.

He looked at me with a slight surprise, and I could see the tyrannical killing aura in his eyes. At this time, he was pointing to this vast field and proudly said to Kuz: "Kuz, your name is very good, you come here." I had the orcs in the tribe grow a large field potato this year, haha. You don't know, if I hadn't given these homeless orc girls in the wasteland a bite to eat, maybe they would have eaten all the grass roots in the wasteland, and now they would starve to death in the wilderness. ”

"Hmph, now for that. It's not that I'm boasting, there aren't many places to get a full meal, and my Bangor estate in the windmill hills is in the best condition of all. You don't know that the old guy in the quarry Horsens, and the group of gray dwarf miners under his hands, don't know how many people have starved to death this year. The old guy's pants are about to fall off. Pants, hehe, it's really a coincidence of your grandma bear, your name is also called pants!"

Maxine's unscrupulous joke with Kuz's name made me a little uncomfortable, and I thought to myself: Orc warriors can't all be such rough people!, this orc is really unpleasant to talk to, and I have lost interest in talking to him when I see him like this.

"I'm going to grow these potatoes, and in addition to the orcs who have picked them up from the wasteland, I'm going to sell some to that old fellow in Horsens, well, just exchange some black iron bonanza with him, and then I'll build a metallurgical workshop, maybe so that the dwarven slaves who have the skills of blacksmiths can make some plate armor. Our blood wolf clan relies on the world of wolf cavalry, and if every wolf cavalry is equipped with plate armor, it will be even more powerful, don't you say?" When Maxine spoke, the white spit splashed out against the wind and sand, and was blown far away, and he still talked quite eloquently to Kuz about his various measures in Bangor Manor, and he was very proud.

I felt a kind of disgust for this chief of Maxine in my bones, his appearance, his conversation, any expression on his face, even his dress, although I knew that I could not judge people by their appearance, after all, this rude-looking orc was actually a warrior, and his vision and mind were slightly better than those of ordinary orc chiefs, at least the orcs in his territory did not starve, and even in the face of the great famine, he actively planted high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, I have to say that these measures can reflect his wisdom, but I always feel that I have overlooked something。

The further I went, the more orcs I encountered, and the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the orcs I met along the way had almost no expression on their faces, and their expressions were wooden, and only when they saw the orc overseers, did they have a look of fear. However, when Maxine passed by, and despite their best efforts to hide it, I could still feel that almost everyone was trembling with fear.

Everyone has their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, whether they are humans, orcs, or dwarves. Just like the team led by me and Kuz, these escaped beast girls of the Raytu tribe have been taken in in the wilderness, they are also very hard, they have to walk at least fifty kilometers every day, occasionally they have the opportunity to ride argali, they have to tear down the camp before sunrise every day, and pack up, hastily eat breakfast and hurry, and do the same thing before resting at night, every day they are tired and exhausted, but they are still in good spirits. Their faces are getting more rosy day by day, and they can at least see smiles on their faces, and even when the weather is nice, they can hear loud singing, which makes our team look full of energy.

But in Bangor Manor, you can't see that. There was a dreary smell of lifelessness everywhere, and the orcs looked frightened and tired.

I glanced back at Sister Guoguo, who was riding a horse behind me, and sure enough, she also made a strange gesture to me, and my heart sank. Tia in the team had long since disappeared, and the warrior Yue Lun was leading Tia's Gubolai horse and following behind. It seems that Viru must have noticed something unusual and asked Tia to go ahead and investigate.

"You young masters of the big clan are just delicate! You even invited the Terran bodyguards to be the lord here, you see that the thighs of those people are not as thick as my arms. What's the use, maybe the first time you see the swamp zombies, you'll be scared and run away. Maxine was babbling to Kuz again.

My disgust had reached its peak, and the werewolf man with a human-faced spider tattooed on his head squinted his eyes, looked me up and down with interest, and opened his foul mouth and asked, "Hey, this human kid looks good!"

As he said this, he rubbed his chapped lips with his scarlet tongue. I don't think he's complimenting me. Rather, I said that my flesh was tender, and his unbridled eyes were like cold vipers. Then I heard him ask Kutz, "Is this your slave?"

"No, he's my brother, he's been learning about herbs from my grandfather, and he's going to be a great witch doctor in the future!"

"Is it the Kuru Shaman? It's been a long time since I've heard from him, and he's still alive, and I thought he'd die under the hammers of those dwarves!" Maxine said with a laugh, patting his bare skull.

The owner of the Bangor estate had no respect for Kuz, not even perfunctory. Kutz and I looked at each other. There was a little more worry in my heart, it seemed that this Chief Maxine was definitely a madman, he didn't have the slightest respect for the soul walkers of the Blood Wolf Clan, and he didn't hide these emotions without any concealment, or did he say this in front of me and Kuz, what was he thinking, when our brothers were dead?

The atmosphere grew tense amid Chief Maxine's exaggerated laughter.

The wind and sand blowing in the western wilderness have weakened significantly after entering the hilly area, and the yellow sand and dust that are carried by it are deposited and piled up into mounds on the windy side of the hills, which will become fertile soil in the hills. It is the winds and sand of the curse desert that make the windmills and hills so fertile.

Viru had already felt the danger spreading, and they were worried about the comfort of me and Kuz, and they could no longer care about taking care of the orcs of the large army, and the Guborema hurried towards me with small steps. As Jonbach was at the back of the line, slowly emerging from the sand, his strong physique so heavy under the dwarven chain mail, he carried a delicate one-handed warhammer and a black iron round shield, both of which were selected from the weapons captured by the gray dwarves.

When he saw Jonbach, Chief Maxine's face had become ugly, and when the wind and sand had receded a little, and Viru, who was completely wrapped in linen, appeared, I could clearly see the green tendons on Maxine's forehead beating incessantly, and the anger in his eyes was about to reach a peak. He turned his head like a mad demon and glared at a wolf knight viciously, covering his heart with one hand, stretching out his other hand and pointing at the wolf cavalry captain with his index finger, and asked in a low and hoarse voice with a little pain: "How do you tm do things, you can't do such a little thing, Lao Tzu will raise you with gold coins, you will only be a white-eyed dog, a bunch of waste!"

The wolf cavalry who walked quietly behind him remained silent like deaf people, and in this embarrassing atmosphere, Kuz and I couldn't advance or retreat, but since Viru had already rushed over with the members of the Wind Chasing Team, Kuzi and I were more confident, so we pretended to be stupid boys who didn't understand anything, and walked directly to Bangor Manor.

But these things of mine made me even more awkward, and these reactions of Chief Maxine were difficult to explain, from the unbridled sarcasm at the beginning to ridicule Kuz, to the later disrespect to old Kuru, when the atmosphere was tense, Viru and they appeared. Chief Maxine's face was so dark that it was about to drip water. From his expression, I found that he didn't seem to know about the existence of Viru, Jonbach and Duolunlie before, and it seemed that he had only seen Sister Guoguo and the warrior Yue Lun before, and at this time, Sister Guoguo was wearing a black cloak with a conical hat, and she couldn't tell her profession at all, I don't think Chief Maxine would never have thought that there was a Terran mage in Kuz's team.

Those wolf cavalry were actually reporting our strength to Chief Maxine. For some reason, the omission of the demon hunter archer Viru and the shield warrior Jonbach and the swordsman Dorenel made Chief Maxine misestimate our strength, and he continued to squeeze Kuz with words along the way. By the time Chief Maxine had said the most taboo words of the Kuz, it was too late to regret it.

Chief Maxine's face changed several times, and finally his stiff face finally squeezed out a reluctant smile, and turned to Kuz and said, "Little brother, you have come all the way here, and you must have worked hard all the way, and there is a shortage of food and clothing everywhere at the moment. Since you have come to me, you must come to our manor and sit down, and today we will hold a sacrifice event, and we are ready to slaughter pigs and sheep, and the roast leg of lamb in our Black Tooth tribe is very famous in the entire western wilderness! ”

Kuz has matured a lot lately, and the former reckless orc boy has become a level-headed, delicate-minded, and more willing to think about the big picture. The smile on his green stubble face was gone. But his expression was extraordinarily calm. If I hadn't been behind him, I would have seen the hand behind him clutching the bow of the alloy bow. The knuckles of my fingers had turned slightly white, and I didn't think he could hear Maxine's sarcasm, and I didn't care about those sarcastic words. It seems that the owner of Bangor Manor, Chief Maxine, has made our orc boy Kuz angry, but Kuzi endured it like this, and most of them still didn't want to turn against the chief of the Black Fang tribe with wolf cavalry at this time, and our family background is all on other people's territory.

When it comes. Maxine and his wolf cavalry came on horseback, so naturally they came quickly.

Our group was followed by the orc girls, old people and children who were trekking on foot, nearly half of the more than 170 argali, most of them were carrying supplies, and the rest of the argalis had to take care of the frail orc elders and children, as well as some unwell orc women. Hence the winding mountain road between several huge hills. As soon as he left, Maxin, who was leading the way in front, was obviously anxious, but the two dozen wolf cavalrymen still followed him expressionlessly.

I suppose he is going to hurry back to preside over the sacrifice, and it is inconvenient to leave us here. After finally climbing a huge dirt slope, there was a huge valley surrounded by many hills in front of us, and a manor full of beast style appeared in front of us, those wooden fences surrounded by logs were tied with strips of colorful cloth, probably the scarce wood here, the buildings in the manor were made of stone bars, and the hundreds of courtyards looked like a village.

I could vaguely see a lot of orcs gathered in the square in the center of the manor, there seemed to be some chaos, some orcs were constantly running, and the orcs with leather whips and wielding iron swords were not chasing, it seemed that Maxine was temporarily gone, and the sacrifice was a little bit of a situation. Chief Maxine patted the wolf on his crotch and took a few steps forward to take a closer look at the manor.

Taking advantage of this time, Kuzi and I exchanged glances, and Kuzi said to me in a very low voice and very quickly in Imperial Chinese: "Let Geril take the women of the tribe to stay here to eat and rest, and we and Sister Guoguo will go to the manor with them to participate in the sacrifice activities." We split up and talked to them. ”

I hurriedly nodded in agreement, and I naturally went to talk to Viru and Sister Guoguo. When I turned to run back, Viru had already turned over and dismounted, handing the reins to Yue Lun on the side, and the members of the Wind Chaser team followed suit. At this time, Tia came out of nowhere, her face was pale and she gasped, Sister Guoguo gently chanted the magic spell, and a pale white halo instantly enveloped Tia, making his breath much calmer.

Kuz called Geril off the back of the Agrimon, and the two whispered next to the Agrimon, at first Grile was a little reluctant, but after a few insistences, Kuz meekly agreed.

I rushed to Sister Gogo's side, and Viru was asking Tia about the situation: "How is the situation in the manor?"

Tia swallowed and foamed, let her breathe steadily, and hurriedly whispered: "There was turmoil in the manor, and some foreign orcs were dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Black Fang tribe, and they rebelled one after another, and several foreign orcs died, but it seems to have been suppressed. There are probably less than thirty wolf cavalry inside, more than two hundred werewolf warriors and archers, the population of the entire Black Fang tribe should be more than a thousand, and they also take in a large number of orcs who have fled from the wilderness, most of these orcs are doing hard labor here......"

The news that Tia brought back was not good, and it was clear that Maxine had no kindness to us, and even before seeing the mighty Viru and Jonbach, he had the intention of swallowing us straight into his stomach. However, the reason why Maxine has such strong ambitions is precisely because he has a certain strength. Before, he must have thought he could swallow all of us and not leak anything. But when he saw Viru and Jonbach, his mind changed.

Viru frowned and asked, "What's the sacrificial ritual all about?"

"It is supposed to kill some orcs, and it is said to be a ritual dedicated to demons and praying for good weather. Tia said, and then he added, "There are some orc children in there, they are all outsiders, they are those orcs who have fled the wasteland, and this is probably because of the rebellion just now. ”

After hearing Tia's words, my heart chilled, and I asked in a low voice, "It is not cattle and sheep that are sacrificed to the gods, but orcs?"

Although Viru's adventure party has traveled many places, none of them can better understand the way of life of the orc tribes. From what I know about the Blood Wolf Clan, this is an orc tribe that believes in the power of their ancestors, and every warrior in their tribe has inherited the powerful bloodline power, and the reason why the Blood Wolf Clan can occupy a corner and occupy the Guruddin Fortress on the Pai Plateau is that the Blood Wolf Clan has a "self-healing" bloodline talent, and they believe in the ancestors to obtain such powerful power.

But now, the Black Fang tribe of the Blood Wolf Clan here is holding an evil sacrifice ceremony, which is against the will of the ancestors.

"Yes, the whole altar is soaked in orc blood, and every time the orc executioner kills an orc girl, he collects the blood in a clay pot and pours it into a huge copper dome, and their corpses are piled in the center of the altar after more than half of the blood has been collected. Oh, those orc children are locked in wooden cages, and they must not be killed until the end of the sacrifice!" Tia looked a little ugly, and he was apprehensive at these cruel images.

"Shall we see?" Viru asked, turning to me.

I didn't expect the leader of the taciturn Storm Chaser to take the initiative to mention the next action.

There are orc warriors who are responsible for distributing dry food carrying linen bags, taking out smoked sausages that have turned brown from them, and handing them to the Laitu tribesmen who are sitting on the side of the road resting, they untie the water bladder from their bodies and can't wait to drink two large mouthfuls of water, and begin to chew those sausages that are as thick as small arms in the windy place, and eat them with relish, I didn't expect these sausages to be the most popular food among the tribal orcs, just for the convenience of storage, these sausages are a little salty.

I looked up and said to Viru, "The women and children of the tribe are all outside, and Kuz and I will go to the manor with you to have a look!"

"Well, this is the best, there are too many people to take care of it!" Jonbach said on the side, he and Viru have been friends for many years, the two of them are like me and Kuz, they are partners who grew up together, Jonbach looked at Sister Guoguo after speaking.

"Take the horses with you, if it's not right, everyone will rush out together, there is always something in the air of this manor that makes me uncomfortable, Jia ......"

Sister Guoguo actually wanted to ask me: Jia, do you feel those strange magic elements? But before she could blurt out the words, she realized that she couldn't say this, so she quickly stopped her mouth and paused before saying, "Jia, you have to follow me for a while, don't run around." ”

I whispered, "I can protect myself." ”

"Got it. Sister Guoguo said helplessly.

She patted me on the head lovingly, and it was dusty. I had been curled up in the leather saddle of the Aguimon this morning, as if I had been buried in dust, covered in dust. (To be continued.) )
