After bringing the frightened girl Haqi back to the village, she trembled and told everyone about her experience.
"I... I wanted to pick some flowers for the Lord to thank him for saving my sister... Then I found out that these knights were killing animals. I, I, I wanted to tell them, like this Behave badly...and then they..."
At this point, Ha Qi started to cry again.
"These humans are really bullying others..."
"We just paid the land fee, and now they are harassing us again!"
"They torture and kill animals like this, how can we still collect next month's land fee!"
The orcs gathered around the elder Huck's home, and they were all extremely angry about what had just happened. He Wen briefly checked Ha Qi's body, and after finding that there was no damage, he took off his coat and put it on Ha Qi. Then he looked at Elder Huck.
"What are you going to do?"
Huck said with a sigh.
"Actually, this is not the first time this has happened, but we really can't help it. Those knights come to our village every now and then to cause trouble. If you are lucky, you will only hurt people. If you are not lucky..."
He looked at a trembling male orc.
"His wife was captured by humans four days ago. When she was returned the next day, she was already a cold corpse."
The eyes of the orcs showed anger and unwillingness, especially the male orc.
He Wen could almost hear the chattering of his teeth.
He could imagine the inhuman torture the female orc suffered after being taken away.
Although the beasts are called beasts, their physical characteristics are similar to humans, except for an extra pair of animal ears and tails.
And most of the female orcs are beautiful and have perfect figures. This may be because the orcs need to be in the best shape to catch prey.
But this turned the women of the orc tribe into women who could be abused and humiliated at will in the eyes of humans.
"Elder."
At this time, several older orcs came out. They seemed to have already discussed something. Although they hesitated when they walked in front of Huck, they still spoke firmly.
"This matter... has become a big deal. The human knight is dead, and they will definitely not let it go. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Huck looked at the older beasts and seemed to understand their thoughts.
But he still asked tentatively.
"What about you? If you stand up now, you should have already considered it, right?"
Several old orcs looked at each other, and then the leading orc said.
"We plan to... take out the food for the winter and donate it to the Red Dragon Knights."
"What?!"
Harudo couldn't listen anymore, he stood up suddenly and shouted.
"Those humans oppressed our villages, occupied our land, killed our members, and took away our women!! Now you actually want to send things to please them?!"
Several old orcs lowered their heads in shame when Harudo yelled at them.
Huck raised his hand to stop Harudo from continuing. He looked at the old beasts and said.
"Everyone, do you think that if we give them our food, they will let us go? You are wrong. That will only make these knights worse. Not to mention that we can't survive the winter without food. Wait until they get the food. After that, our village might be overrun the next day.”
"And this time, five human knights died. They... won't give up."
Another orc said.
Then some people looked at Eve, who had been standing in the corner without speaking.
"Yeah...why do you want to kill someone?"
"Those are knights...the lord will not give up."
"Sigh... outsiders are really troublesome."
More and more doubtful voices are heard.
Eve also seems to understand that if her actions bring disaster to the orc village, then she must be the one to solve the problem.
But before she spoke, Hal stood up to protect Eve and shouted.
"What!? Do you still blame the people who took action to save us?! Find out who is the person who has been oppressing us!"
Eve stared blankly at Hal. This girl who had been tit-for-tat yesterday over who was more evil, humans or beasts, was now willing to stand up for herself and face her own people...
"Shut up! Are you just willing to watch Ha Qi being raped by those stupid knights?!"
Harudo was also angry. Both uncle and nephew were very bad-tempered, but now it seemed that such a bad-tempered person was needed to dominate the atmosphere of the scene.
As expected, after doing this, the emotions of the other orcs were also ignited.
"What should we do!? She killed the knights, but those knights will only blame us!"
"In the end, it will only be our village that suffers!"
"No one begged her to take action..."
He Wen sat on a chair, supporting his chin with his hands in almost the same posture as Shallya, watching the noise of everyone.
After the last two groups of people quarreled so much that they almost started fighting, He Wen stood up and said.
"Everyone, can you listen to what I, an outsider, have to say?"
As soon as He Wen opened his mouth, everyone fell silent. After all, after yesterday, the orcs had already regarded He Wen as a god. After all, He Wen was solving the most urgent needs of the orcs.
"Have you never thought about resisting? I remember that you fought with that lord decades ago and were not at a disadvantage, right?"
His words made some old orcs flash a flash of pride on their faces, but it was only for a moment.
"Sir...our village was not weak at that time, and everyone was very good at fighting, but now the rest..."
The old orc who took the lead in saying that he wanted to pay tribute to humans sighed.
"What's wrong now?"
He Wen asked in confusion, and then he walked up to Eve and pulled her behind him.
"Do you have no hands now? Or don't you have the courage to resist? Today it's this girl, but what about tomorrow? Once all the women in the village have been persecuted by them, will it be the men's turn to do hard labor?"
The orcs were speechless. Of course they knew that blindly giving in would only delay the process of destruction, but no one dared to stand up.
"It's nothing more than the difference between dying now and dying later."
He Wen said with a sneer.
"Then... Sir, what do you think we should do? We are not even allowed to own weapons. Do you want us to use these stone tools to fight against human knights and magicians? ?”
The old orc became slightly excited.
"Do you think we don't want to resist!? But what are we going to do!? We have no chance of winning against those knights!!"
"Isn't it just a weapon?"
He Wen smiled. He just wanted the old orcs to have this emotion, which meant that they had not given up their intention to resist, but had to give in considering the current situation.
"Elder Harker, I would like to ask you, is there anywhere in this forest where you can find a lot of iron?"
Li Muhan looked at Huck.
Huck thought for a while and then said.
"Yes, there is a mineral vein deep in this forest, but it is occupied by monsters, and even humans have no interest in it."
Huck said.
He Wen nodded, then looked at the other orcs and said.
"If I say that I will give you weapons, give you food, and treat your injuries, will you choose to surrender or resist?"
Orcs, you look at me and I look at you. Finally, Hal was the first to stand up. She looked at He Wen seriously and said.
"Even if I die! I will not bow to those knights!"
"And I!"
The second one is Harudo.
"I want revenge for my wife."
The third one is the orc who lost his lover.
"Me too, they killed my child, and I am incompatible with them!"
"Give them fucking food! They only deserve to eat shit!"
"That's right! All the injuries on our bodies can be cured! What are we afraid of!?"
"Fight with those humans!"
The entire elder's hut, including the outside, was boiling.
There are only about 200 people in this village. Except for the few old orcs, everyone has their fighting spirit aroused.
"Cold, calm down, everyone!"
The old orc raised his hand and shouted.
"Don't forget, everyone! They also have magicians! They can burn down our forest!"
The old orc's words brought everyone back to reality.
Yes, they are not afraid of fighting with real swords and guns, but if the opponent has a magician, they may be killed by large-scale destructive magic without even seeing it, let alone that they can use it. The magical flames set the entire forest on fire.
When I thought of this, the orcs who had been so excited just now calmed down a lot.
But at this moment, a girl's slightly cold voice came from behind everyone.
"Isn't it enough to just disable magic in this forest?"
