A small theater at the end of the chapter
"Run! little brother, run, don't look back, run~~"
Behind me came the urging of my own brother, and I tried my best to run forward desperately, no matter whether it was grass or mud in front of me, only the farther I ran, the closer I was to the chance of survival.
There was a piercing scream behind me, I knew that I had lost another relative, the eldest brother was gone, the third brother and the third sister were long gone, I was scared, very frightened, but my feet did not stop, and the shouts of the enemy came from behind me, and I had to jump into the grass and roll down this slope before that, so that I could hope to save my life.
With all my strength kicking and leaping, I jumped down the hill and rolled down the steep slope.
I must live, no matter how many relatives are still alive, and it is my duty to continue to live and inherit their will for the sake of those who have died!
Rolling quickly on the steep slope, the gravel thorns cut the flesh along the way, the blood spilled on the long grass, the pain was very terrible, I bit my lip desperately, afraid that the sound of screaming pain would make the enemy behind me find out where I was, this is my last chance to survive, as long as I can live, how small the dawn I will desperately seize ......
The darkness quickly darkened in front of him, and many memories flooded back before he lost consciousness completely......
"Son, to be a man is to be a good person, to be kind!"
My father was a great leader, strong, wise, faithful, righteous and loving to the whole tribe, leading people through difficult circumstances and growing stronger, and he was loved by all the people I know, and he was a great hero.
Several nearby tribes, since I was born, have attacked each other, they have my allies, there are also my relatives, they are inextricably linked to each other, but they cannot live in harmony, and the blood shed between each other is innumerable, although with the efforts of my father, they tried to unite and seek a way out, but in the end it was still a breakthrough.
My father once said that our nation has infinite potential, and if we can unite as one, we will eventually be able to stand proudly in the world, and we will no longer have to bow to any demons.
I believe in his words, this is also the goal of his life, so when other relatives in the vicinity, provoked by outsiders, from conflicts and disputes, bad to attack each other, he was heartbroken, and he repeatedly stood up, trying to calm down these red-eyed relatives and friends, talk well, resolve misunderstandings, and don't do hateful things.
This eventually turned into a matter of hatred for us, and at a mediated feast, my father tried his best, but he got involved in a dispute, and after a round of chaotic fighting, he was dismantled and sent back with his body incomplete.
Looking at my father's broken corpse, I was very sad, clenched my fists and wanted revenge, but I couldn't find a target, the banquet was attacked and killed in many ways, and the murderer who killed my father did not escape himself, and was cut to pieces by others on the spot, and even his own tribe was chased after him, slaughtered cleanly, and burned to the ground.
I don't understand why so many people die like this, as if ...... I don't understand why the relatives who sent back my father's body and wept with our brothers and sisters suddenly killed my brothers.
“...... Don't hate us, hate your blood if you want to hate, and this crazy time!"
An uncle said this when he was about to kill him. His expression seemed to be very helpless, but he was helpless, and he didn't spare the slightest hand, and tore the little sister I have always loved in two.
...... Destroy my homeland, it's obviously you who are crazy, what's the matter with this era?
...... Why should I hate this era?
...... I really don't understand!
The eldest brother, the third brother, and the third sister escorted us out, and the enemy pursued us closely, and there were fewer and fewer of our people, one by one, lying in a pool of blood, I saw the corpse of the third sister broken into several pieces, and heard the tragic howl of the eldest brother who was dying, and finally I was the only one left.
I don't want to die!
If I could live, I would like to ...... To figure out the questions that I can't figure out, what is wrong with my father, what are we doing wrong, what is wrong in this era?
At the bottom of the steep slope was a cliff, and I fell into a thick meadow, where I broke many bones and was badly wounded, but I saved my life and escaped the pursuit of the enemy.
After that, I walked in the wilderness for three days, not knowing where I was or where I was going, until I finally fell unconscious in the grass.
I thought I was going to die, but all of a sudden, I heard heavy breathing.
...... Someone!
Misty because of fatigue and hunger, he couldn't see clearly, and he saw only a tall ...... Even huge figures, getting closer and closer.
My father was already a very tall man, but this figure was much stronger than him, and its sense of presence was incomparable, as if it was a rocky mountain that could breathe and move.
This huge body, taller and stronger than any warrior I know, every muscle is full of strength, it seems that every step taken can make the times turbulent, but the man with this unparalleled body, his eyes ...... It's very melancholy, as if my heart is weighing on something heavier and heavier than this body......
In that heaviness, I saw a kind of familiarity, and it was also a look full of questions, and this man must have had a lot to ask about the world, just like me......
...... Scold!
I don't know why, I just wanted to laugh, although my tired body didn't have the strength to laugh at all, but the giant man saw me, and for a brief moment, he seemed to think that he had seen a dead body, and frowned, but then confirmed that I was still breathing, and his brow wrinkled even deeper.
I fainted, and when I came to my senses again, I was no longer in the grass, but in a tent, and in addition to the giant man, I saw a woman, so beautiful and stunningly beautiful, I had never seen such a beautiful woman that made my heart beat so fast.
"Little guy, you're going to be lucky, you haven't hung up when you saw us recently, like you, but it's the first one!"
The beautiful and touching woman, with a hint of evil in her eyes, crossed her hands on her waist and said: "We saved you, from now on, you are our slave, and you will lick our shoes for the rest of your life, do you hear clearly? If you dare to say no, I will ...... Woo!"
The giant man who was silently beside him seemed to be unable to listen anymore, slapped a palm on the beautiful woman's head, stopped her words, and then, his eyes stared over, and spoke in a half-hoarse voice.
"Kid, what's your name?"
“...... Shade of the sun. ”――
This is my meeting with my brother and sister, and maybe in the future, this can be regarded as a trajectory of some kind of fate, or a key point in the change of times, but at least at that time, we didn't mean that to each other, and they are not soft-hearted characters who will casually save people on the battlefield.
It would be a complete accident for them to rescue me from my dying and try to relocate it later, and if it were to happen all over again, it would probably not be this development.
But they really helped me a lot.
He healed my wounds and sent me to the sacred land of the Lion Clan to join the surviving minority, and my brother even taught me martial arts.
In the atmosphere at that time, the human race had always regarded teaching martial arts to the beast clan as a taboo, not to mention that his brother basically never passed on human skills, even in the Shattered Star Cluster, few of the team members who followed him from birth to death had been able to get his order.
But he taught me martial arts......
“...... We usually see orc children, they won't be saved, they used to ...... We didn't save it, maybe it was a mistake to save you......"
When the giant man spoke, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he remembered the past, and sighed.
"But since we have saved you, we don't want you to die again, you have to live well, as long as you can live to the end, you will see the will of heaven! Every life must have its meaning. ”
I can understand the look in his eyes when he speaks, and he has the same "helplessness" as the uncle who poisoned us in the first place.
This may be my first understanding of the principles of the world, whether it is human beings or beasts, born in the world, it is full of all kinds of helplessness and unsatisfactory......
I didn't spend much time with my brother and sister, but I felt very deeply, and they ...... Although they are regarded as heroes by the Terrans, they may not be considered good people, and they themselves can't even say it.
Brother, he often reminds me of my dead father and eldest brother, who are also so tall and earthly, with full responsibilities on their shoulders, but they make the people who are blocked by this figure feel very reassured, looking at this thick back, just like my father and brother are still in the world, which makes me feel much better.
I always feel ...... Although the elder brother is a great man, in the world of the human race, he is afraid that he will not have a good life, because what he says is often wrong.
“...... After meeting with your people, hide well, live in peace, and practice what I taught you, and when the war is over, there will be nothing left, and we have no intention of destroying the orcs...... ...... where everyone can live together peacefully in the future"
said such words, but before parting, he still added another sentence with a worried expression.
"Whatever happens, remember...... The heart of defense is indispensable!"
Talking about the peaceful coexistence of the two sides, and telling the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, my brother's words are often so confused that I was troubled by my young age.
Probably even he felt contradictory, in the short time we got along, he would occasionally grin, but basically never saw him happy, the widow of my clan sighed, like this, it is difficult to be happy, and most of them will not die well......
As heroes on the battlefield, not being able to die well seems to be a common ending, and it should not be surprising even to the elder brother himself, but no one would have imagined that when they came back from all kinds of dangers, they encountered the strongest ambush in the imperial capital and completely defeated them.
I received the news, and immediately led the ministers and subordinates who followed me, and rushed to support, hoping to help a little, so that there would be less helplessness and regret in this world......
...... That's so exciting for me!
