"No, Chief, the tribe still needs your leadership. I'll call a few soldiers to go with you. At worst, we can directly attack the city and fight these hateful humans to the death!" The young tauren warrior snorted and said impulsively. . The older chief shook his head. He pointed at the towering city wall of Moren City and said, "Don't be impulsive. Look at this hard bluestone city wall. Look at the instruments on the wall that are aimed at us, let alone the Golden Dynasty. Dragons and giants are allies. When we go to war with them, it's not just a matter of death, but a unilateral massacre." At this time, a melodious horn sounded in the city of Morn. Kenneth Hyde was accompanied by three homeless knights and more than 400 exiled soldiers behind him. They formed a formation out of the city and came to a formation station not far from the tauren's camp. good. Roland originally wanted to send the city lord Edgar to come forward, but considering that Edgar was betrayed by the winged hybrids in the border area, Roland was worried that he would regard these tauren as hybrids, so after consideration, he decided to send a pair of hybrids and hybrids. Kenneth Hyde, who is more accepting of demihumans. As for Roland himself, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the powerful orc warriors on the opposite side before he could regain his strength at the junction. In order to prevent such a bloody thing from happening, he did not come forward directly. It's embarrassing to say that Kenneth Hyde is probably better than Roland right now. [Don’t worry, after you summon Grek, the big runes on him will come over too, activating the Elden Ring on you, allowing you to regain some of your strength. 】The system comforted me like this. "It seems that the moment has come to decide the fate of our tribe." The old chief patted the young warrior on the shoulder: "Stay here, I will go there by myself. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to come without my order. If you see It’s not okay to directly lead the tribe members to retreat.” After the old chief finished speaking, without waiting for the young warrior to say anything, he walked straight towards the Golden Dynasty's military formation empty-handed. Its back is so lonely and old.
The young warrior discovered that his chief was no longer as high-spirited as before. This warrior who was once the strongest warrior in the tribe began to humble himself to humans at some point, just so that their wives and children behind them could have a bite to eat. The old chief looked nervously at the exiled soldiers in the distance, seeing their well-equipped armor, the gleaming weapons in their hands, and their gestures of preparation for battle. It learned from the experience of living in the human world for so many years and raised its rough, calloused hands to show that it was not hostile. "Hmm, it seems that it is indeed asking for something from us." Kenneth Hyde nodded slightly. It can be said that he has been reading books about the customs and customs of the Salid continent in his free time during this period. Naturally, he is very interested in the orcs. I know a little bit about my habits. If there is a war, the orcs will first declare a challenge to the target of the war, make an appointment, and even send an invitation to a powerful opponent among the enemies for a one-on-one fight. Instead of being like the old chief who was walking towards his own position, walking heavily, raising his hands, and not even carrying any decent weapons. Because they believe that fighting is full of glory, defeating their opponents from the front will bring great pleasure to their great beast gods. At the appointed time, they will beat the war drum orc warriors will passionately sing the songs of their troops, raise battle axes and maces made of animal bones, and wait for the enemy to come. Of course, the human kingdom is not like the orcs. As long as they can defeat the orcs, they have no shame even in using poisoning. This is not to say that the human kingdom is very despicable, but it is just because they know the consequences of being defeated by the orcs. The orcs will not occupy the conquered territory, but will plunder all the resources inside. As for the people, regardless of men, women, old and young, they will kill them all and make them into food. They are savage and cruel, which is one of the fundamental reasons why orcs are hated by humans, elves and even dwarves. As for the story in novels and comics about the orc men in the world before Roland traveled, they would kidnap women from other races into tribes and use them as fertility machines or hot weapons, which is simply nonsense. Just like dwarves are not interested in handsome and beautiful humans, orcs are also not interested in humans. They don't share the same three aesthetics, so how can they possibly have sex with them. Can humans go into heat at any time and anywhere with species other than their own? The Nun and the ···It seems that it does, so I’ll skip this topic. The old tauren chief stopped when he was still 100 steps away from Kenneth the same time, Kenneth Hyde also asked the exiled soldiers to put down their hand crossbows. This distance was just enough for the two sides to hear each other's voices. If he got closer, Kenneth Hyde would really let the exiled soldiers shoot crossbows to warn this orc who didn't know the depth of his strength.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Kenneth Hyde, the political officer of Morn City. The camp you are stationed in has greatly affected the security of Morn City. Please retreat immediately, otherwise we will expel you by force." Kenneth Hyde said loudly. The old chief stretched out his right hand and hammered his chest hard. Although his voice was tired, he still said proudly: "Hello, Mr. Kenneth Hyde, the political officer. I am the chief of the Bloodhoof tribe, Jonson Blood Hoof. I led my tribe to join the Golden Dynasty, not to be your enemy. I am sorry for affecting the normal life of the residents of Morn City." Kenneth Hyde looked at the polite old tauren with some surprise. He did not remember that the book said that orcs would learn human language and imitate human tone to speak. In fact, he was already prepared that he couldn't understand what the other party said, so he asked Lord Roland to ask Golden Tree to help him find out what was going on in the orc's mind. Jonson Bloodhoof did not bother to learn human language and culture when he was young, and looked down upon the warchiefs who learned these things at that time, thinking that this was a kind of cowardice and submission to humans. But when it became the warchief, for the sake of the people of the tribe, it finally understood why the previous warchief had to study these things so if you want to keep the old, weak, women and children of the tribe alive, you must learn the common language of mankind. "How can we believe that you are sincerely defecting? You already know that many human kingdoms have hosted orc tribes, but they were soon betrayed by these tribes, and the cities that took them in were destroyed by massacres and wars. How can you guarantee that we Will you end up with the same fate after taking you in?" Kenneth Hyde narrowed his eyes and asked. The old chief said sincerely: "I heard that your city of Morn has taken in a group of orcs with white hair. Why are you not afraid of them, but afraid of us? The Bloodhoof tribe can do the same work they can do, and The efficiency will be higher than them. We can even ask for wages. We just hope that you can provide us with food to satisfy our hunger. And I heard that you are currently at war with the Charles Empire. There are more than 800 members of the Bloodhoof tribe. Strong warriors. As long as they are armed, they can fight one against ten of the elite troops of the Charles Empire." Kenneth Hyde was stunned for a moment after hearing Jonson Bloodhoof's words. He felt that what the old tauren said seemed to have been heard from Roland. Lord Roland also commented that such a person would kill his colleagues. Kill yourself, you idiot. "I need to correct you two mistakes, Chief Jonson Bloodhoof." Kenneth Hyde stretched out his hand and raised two fingers and said: "First, our Morn City did not take in any orcs. Those things you said The white-haired orcs actually call them hybrids in our Golden Dynasty. They have the same origin as the humans of the Golden Dynasty, use the same language as us, and eat the same food, but their appearance is different from ours for some reason. Secondly, every soldier of the Golden Dynasty can be worth one to a hundred, and the tauren warriors in your tribe are nothing to us. So, I ask you again, how can I trust that you will not betray?" After Jonson Bloodhoof heard Kenneth Hyde's words, his brain buzzed and he felt a little dizzy. Morn City didn't take in any orcs?So how should I face if they have intentions against the people of the tribe? The old chief's mind flashed through countless human countries capturing orcs alive and carving slave marks on their faces. He wanted to run back to his camp immediately and notify everyone in the tribe to evacuate was also afraid that his actions would irritate the soldiers on the opposite side and cause worse consequences. And where can we retreat to?Just as he said to the young soldier just now, the prairie has now turned into a piece of frozen soil. The journey back is long, and countless compatriots will die on the way. "If you can't prove that you won't betray us, please go back and forth from where you are." Kenneth Hyde cleared his throat and said. The Golden Dynasty was not a philanthropist, especially as a political officer, he knew when he saw the burly figure of the tauren that these orcs would definitely be able to eat them, and by then the finally rich grain depot would be at its bottom again. In addition, even if people from the border area do not discriminate against these tauren, other humans in the city will not be able to accept them for a while. "Moo-!" The old chief was silent for a long time, and finally burst into a mournful roar, causing the exiled soldiers to immediately point their weapons at him. The young warriors in the Tauren tribe who had been worried about the safety of the old chief heard Jonson Bloodhoof's roar. If he hadn't memorized the old chief's orders, he would have almost called on his compatriots to rush over and fight against the Golden Dynasty. "In the name of Jonson Bloodhoof, I swear to the soul of my ancestors that the Bloodhoof clan is willing to surrender to the Golden Dynasty from generation to generation." The old chief slowly bent his knees and knocked his forehead to the ground: "If Bloodhoof The Hoof Clan betrayed the Golden Dynasty and asked the spirits of our ancestors to deprive us of our glory so that our descendants can no longer become warriors." The soul of the tauren ancestor appeared in the sky above Jonson Bloodhoof as a translucent looked at Jonson Bloodhoof, its soul seeming to sigh. "Sir Kenneth Hyde, please save us. We are really forced to have no choice. The soldiers who went out to work for the human kingdom died and were injured, and the money they brought back was not enough for the tribe." The old chief said with his face Buried into the cold soil, tears fell down the gray-white hair on its face: "Those fellow tribesmen who betrayed the human kingdom have been humiliated, lost their glory, and even wantonly slaughtered for the amusement of mankind." "We used to be a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, but now we have less than 3000 compatriots. All the children born last month have frozen to death and starved to death. I really hate it when I see them dying alive. My own powerlessness. I really can’t think of any way to lead the tribe to survive. Then I heard the bard’s song praising your Golden Dynasty. They said that you accepted a group of orcs, and I heard that there are many of you here. The life of an unpopular hybrid. That’s why I led the tribe all the way across the mountains and rivers to join you. Lord Kenneth Hyde, even if you don’t believe in the character of the orcs, you should believe in the oath I just swore." It was Kenneth Hyde's turn to fall silent. He knew how serious the oath told by Jonson Bloodhoof was to the orcs. They were a race that advocated fighting, so that their descendants would never be able to become warriors, which was equivalent to humans saying that they had no 's more, this oath also summons the soul of the ancestors as a witness. This is the key point. What the old chief said later is not as important as swearing by the soul of the ancestors. "You humans often say that only sincerity can bring you sincerity. I have been deceived many times, but the deeds of your Golden Dynasty make me willing to pay my sincerity for the last time and beg you to help the Bloodhoof Tribe." Jonson ·Bloodhoof didn't hear Kenneth Hyde's answer, thinking that he still refused to believe it, and even began to despair in his heart.
"Get up. I believe in you, Your Majesty the Chief." A different voice reached the old chief's ears, causing the old tauren to raise his confused eyes. At some point, a young man with black hair and golden eyes came to it and gently stretched out a slender hand to him. The young man was Roland. When Jonson Bloodhoof summoned the soul of the ancestors, he was urged by the golden tree to come to Kenneth Hyde. After listening to the latter's report, he came to the kneeling man. In front of the kowtowing chief. Behind Roland, Melina, Ikosela and the Lost Knights looked at Jonson Bloodhoof nervously. Once it has any intention to harm Roland, it will usher in a fierce attack. The old chief rubbed his eyes. He hesitantly extended his hand, stood up slowly, and asked, "Who are you?" "I am Roland." Roland looked at Jonson Bloodhoof's crying eyes and said, "As the lord of the Golden Dynasty, I recognize that your Bloodhoof tribe will become members of the Golden Dynasty forever. From now on, you and the sons of the Golden Dynasty will be together. Just like the people, you will no longer be infected by diseases and no longer suffer from the pain of hunger. As long as you stick to your oath, the golden blessing will always protect you." Following Roland's words, a large amount of golden silk wadding hung down from the shadow of the golden tree above Morn City, gently surrounding the ancestral soul behind Jonson Bloodhoof. The ancestor's soul wanted to break away from the golden blessing at first, but it soon realized that this blessing did not have any ill intentions towards it, and showed a reassuring expression. Drawn by the blessing of gold, the soul of the ancestors gradually left Jonson Bloodhoof's body and gradually returned to the embrace of the golden tree. Then, a large amount of golden light fell on the old chief from the golden tree, and the clan camp not far behind him was also covered with blessings. "Is this... a gift from God?" Jonson Bloodhoof's trembling voice came out from the golden light, and all the muscles and bones in his body cheered in the light that was like a blessing. As the golden light faded, a tauren chief with shiny fur and a taller and more powerful figure appeared in front of Roland. "When a man abandons his dignity and kneels down not for himself but for others, his words must be believed." Roland said looking at the still shocked Jonson Bloodhoof. He looked carefully at the eyes of the tauren chief, and when he saw its bull's eyes turning golden, he smiled: "Welcome you and the Bloodhoof clan to become subjects of the Golden Dynasty, Your Excellency Chief." Chapter 46: Bloodhoof Clan [It is detected that creatures similar to the people of the ancestral spirits belong to the host, and the attitude of the people of the ancestral spirits towards you changes. 】 [People of the Ancestral Spirits (can be summoned), these people of the Ancestral Spirits who love nature, are peaceful in nature, and are skilled in archery. Since you have just accepted the ancestor souls of the Bloodhoof tribe, they believe in your golden law and the people who once ruled the border area. The Golden Law are two laws that will find a place in you as a people of the ancestral hope you don’t disappoint these natural-born closers. 】 Roland was a little surprised. He didn't expect that accepting the Bloodhoof clan's defection would change the people who had previously unlocked the ancestral spirits and could not summon them. He glanced at the system interface and found that summoning an ancestral spirit citizen required 100 points of ether energy, which was the same amount of ether required to summon the Kaidan mercenary that had been unlocked long ago. This is the real marksman. Roland thought of how he was riding Torette while shopping underground while playing games, eating hot pot and singing songs, when he was suddenly shot into a sieve by the passing ancestral , Roland remembered that the arrows used by these ancestral spirit people were enchanted and were called Su-ling arrows. Now that he has the calcite mage from the Calia royal family and the ancestral spirit people who can shoot magic arrows, Roland finally doesn't have to worry about any shortcomings in long-range magic attacks. "Lord Roland, I would like to invite you to visit the camp and introduce you to my people." Jonson Bloodhoof said in a loud voice at this time. He looked at Roland with gratitude in his eyes: "I want to let my fellow people Know what the new gods they worship look like.” Roland naturally nodded in souls of these tauren warriors, including the souls of their ancestors, have been deeply imprinted with the golden tree. The consequences of betrayal are more terrifying than death, so there is no need to worry about their own safety. Of course, just because Roland doesn't have to worry doesn't mean that others won't either. At least Melina and Ikosela have to follow Roland all the Knight Rodel who is good at guarding and Melina who is more powerful, Roland will not worry about being assassinated at all. Moreover, considering that the Bloodhoof tribe had been tricked a lot by the human kingdom before, Roland decided to summon two ancestral spirits.
Although the horns on the heads of the ancestors are decorations, the burly figure that is completely different from humans should make it easier for the Bloodhoof clan to accept, and the image of the ancestors can also make them feel more at ease. As the shadow of the cyan spirit deer emerged from the shadow of the golden tree, two ancestral spirit people were quickly summoned by Roland. They have green-blue skin and wear animal skin coats composed of reddish-brown animal skins and gray-white animal skins. They hold large horned hammers in their hands, and hang horned bows and quivers filled with immortal arrows on their backs. "Lord Roland, what is this?" Jonson Bloodhoof looked with some shock at the two ancestral souls who appeared in the golden light and were almost the same height as himself, and felt an aura of intimacy from them. Roland turned sideways and introduced to the old chief with a smile: "You can call them the people of the ancestral spirit. Although they are people of the Golden Dynasty, they do not believe in the Golden Tree. So you don't have to worry about your clan's beliefs being compromised. Force change, and the Golden Dynasty will tolerate all legitimate beliefs." "Hello, people of the ancestral spirits thank you for bringing us to this new world, His Excellency King Elden." A summoned ancestral spirit people spoke respectfully, and he gave Roland a hammer. of the right chest. Then he turned to look at Jonson Bloodhoof, stretched out his broad blue palm to the old chief, and said with a gentle expression: "Send hello to you too, warrior of nature." Jonson Bloodhoof subconsciously held the other person's hand. After letting go, his eyes were still a little unbelievable because of Roland's words just now: "You said there is no need to change the Bloodhoof clan's beliefs?" "I don't want to enslave you and turn you into slaves of the Golden Dynasty." Roland explained first, and then said with a serious face: "And your belief is not something vulgar, but you regard the honor of battle as more valuable than life. It’s even more important. If your belief is the kind that requires human sacrifice, then I would rather wipe you out completely than let this evil belief roam in my territory.” Jonson Bloodhoof immediately shook his head in denial: "The only ones who need living sacrifices are those orcs in the north who have degenerated to become minions of the evil god. They are a group of lunatics who only know how to fight but don't know what glory is." "He is right, Lord Roland." The ancestral spirit citizen just said, "I didn't feel any souls of animals that died unjustly from him." Roland then nodded: "Then let's go visit your clan first, Chief Jonson Bloodhoof. But I can only stay for a short while. His Excellency, the Prince of Stoneheart Castle is still waiting for me in the city. And you guys The camp was also pulled out as soon as possible, which would greatly affect those who come for business or tourism. There are still many open spaces in Moen City, which is enough for you. Wait, are you used to living in human cities? " "Of course I'm used to it. Even if we are as strong as we are, we can't survive in the open space in the cold winter." Jonson Bloodhoof nodded repeatedly: "But my people have been deceived by other human countries many times before, and I am afraid that in a short period of time, I still feel... There will be some resistance and hatred towards humans, so I would like to ask Lord Roland to keep us as far away from humans as possible in the city." Then the tauren chief hesitated and said with some stuttering: "Also, Lord Roland. Can you please provide some food and herbs immediately? It doesn't matter to a warrior like me, but the old, weak, women and children in the tribe have already They haven’t had a full meal in many days, and many people have contracted diseases from traveling long distances and may not be able to bear it any longer.” Roland nodded in agreement. He looked back at Kenneth Hyde, who nodded slightly to Roland. "Hmm, Sir Jonson Bloodhoof, how much food do you need?" Kenneth Hyde asked the old chief loudly. The old chief replied immediately with a trembling voice: "There are 2154 old, weak, women and children in total. Just give these people food." "How about it? Are the food reserves in Moren City still enough?" Roland asked. Kenneth Hyde calculated in his mind and said: "Barely. But Lord Roland, you must not accept such a large population at once before the next batch of crops is mature." At the end, Kenneth Hyde had a grimace. "No, no, this is an accident." Roland was also a little embarrassed. Originally, the food reserves in Moen City were completely sufficient, provided that no captives from the defeated Charles Empire had been received before. But the two mine tunnels require manpower, so there is no way around it. Roland is now waiting for Feiya to return with the envoy from the Holy Empire of France, and then "borrow" some food and grass. The Holy Empire of France is vast, so it shouldn't be short of such a small amount of food, right? Jonson Bloodhoof on the side also gave up on sending a message to several other orc tribes struggling in the human kingdom, such as the kobolds, cat spirits, etc., so that they could come and seek refuge. The old chief is not a great saint. Now that he understands that the Golden Dynasty is somewhat short of food and grass, he must give priority to his own people. "Kenneth Hyde, you first go back to the city to arrange the residence of the Bloodhoof clan, and then send the food and grass there." Roland ordered down, and then looked at Jonson Bloodhoof: "I will go with you to the clan camp to take a look. , just take the clansmen directly into the city and follow the guidance of the soldiers later."
Jonson Bloodhoof nodded. He was a little confused about why Roland didn't mention anything about medicinal herbs. Maybe it was because the city didn't have enough medicine reserves? The old chief suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked respectfully with Roland, and took Melina, Ikosela and two ancestral souls to his clan. In the camp, the young tauren warrior naturally saw the warchief walking towards him. He excitedly ran over from the totem box at the door, arousing the vigilance of Melina and Ikosela. "Warchief! Warchief! We are saved, we are saved!" it shouted excitedly, not even paying attention to the three disgusting humans following Jonson Bloodhoof. Jonson Bloodhoof grabbed the young warrior who was about to kneel down and cried with joy, and said with relief: "Don't be excited, child. I know that the clan can be saved, the Golden Dynasty has agreed to accept us, and I came back to inform everyone of this. " "No, Great Chief. I mean that mysterious golden light. Many compatriots who were seriously ill and dying were cured inexplicably." The young tauren warrior cried: "Great, great. Thank you. The souls of the ancestors appear and give health to the body of your loyal warrior."
