Chapter 181 The Lupine Beast-eared Girl
Emily's tribe was a small valley located on the outskirts of the Azure Peak Range, making it difficult to find without a guide.
"Boss, if it weren't for those footprints, we would have never found this place," remarked one of the group.
"I told you, winter is coming, and these orcs will surely come out to find food, or they'll starve to death," the leader of the slave traders laughed heartily.
In front of him were over thirty young orcs, mostly girls, with a few elderly orcs lying on the ground, dead because they had resisted.
The young orcs looked at the slave trader with fear in their eyes, unsure of their fate, only knowing that their loved ones had been killed.
"Grandma Mary, why are they capturing us?" a young orc girl asked the elderly goat tribe woman.
Mary's cloudy eyes shimmered with tears. Abandoned by her tribe was one thing, but now encountering slave traders, it was truly tragic.
Mary surveyed the thirty-three orc children around her. Their fate could only be slavery, right? A pitiful life, a pitiful world, why? They were still too young to have seen the beauty of this world, but they were already facing such suffering.
Was it the tribe that was to blame for abandoning them? Or was it these slave traders? Or was it 'the Wrath of the Ice Goddess'?
Two days ago, the tribe Mary belonged to, those so-called elders, in order to prevent last year's tragedy from happening again, decided to leave the tribe, leave the Azure Peak Range, and go out to save themselves, or go south.
And at that moment, the tragedy began. The tribe was already short of food, and there were many orcs, so the orcs took everything they could eat to avoid starving on the road.
The elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were all left behind, even the children who had barely survived the starvation of their parents last year were also left behind. Everyone else had left.
Most of the strong orcs had left, leaving only a few orcs who couldn't bear to leave the children, but they were also killed just now.
Now, there were only the elderly, the weak, and the children left, so the slave traders didn't even bother to tie them up, they were all driven into a wooden house, waiting for the slave traders to decide their fate.
"Let everyone rest, we'll take them down the mountain later," the leader of the slave traders ordered.
"Okay!"
The slave traders all left the wooden house and closed the door, leaving a group of shivering young orcs.
"Grandma Mary, I'm hungry, when will the elders be back?"
"Why did everyone leave? The chief also left, and Emily left too."
A group of young orcs chattered, they were so innocent that didn't yet understand the seriousness of the situation.
Mary wiped away her tears, blaming herself for not starving to death last winter. Why did she have to live to see such a tragedy now?
These children, with their innocent eyes, asked innocent questions. How was she supposed to answer?
A scream rang out.
"Enemy attack!"
The angry roar of the slave trader leader sounded. "Kill her!"
"Damn it, everyone, let's go together, kill this orc, I'm going to skin her alive."
Mary was a little dazed, she listened to the outside noise carefully, her clouded eyes filled with a little anticipation. Could it be that the tribe's orcs had returned?
Also dazed were Mila and Emily, after Mila took care of two slave traders, they approached the tribe with Emily, hiding behind a rock on the side, discussing how to rescue the tribe's orcs.
But they didn't expect an unexpected visitor, a powerful female orc, wielding a two-handed sword, rampaging into the midst of the slave traders.
"It's actually a lupine female orc? And also a lupine orc knight?" Mila recognized her and stared with her blue eyes, a little surprised. "Lupine orc knights, weren't they all wiped out by the human royal knights? Could it be that they escaped before?"
"Lupine orc knight?" Emily's light red eyes trembled, wasn't that the royal orc knight of the orc kingdom? That was the elite of the orc kingdom.
The orc kingdom, although economically backward, unable to mine iron, but also could smuggled some cast iron from the human kingdom, so as to create a knight team belonging to the orc. The most famous of which was the lupine orc knight, each could single out several human royal knights.
If it weren't for 'the Wrath of the Ice Goddess', under the ravages of the ice and snow, the glory of the lupine orc knights would not have been challenged.
Under the calamity, the lupine orc knights escorted the royal family of the orc kingdom out of the snow-covered kingdom, all the way through the water and fire. Just as they entered the human territory who wanted to take a detour to the south, but they was attacked by the human royal knights.
At this point, the glory of the lupine orc knights came to an end, even the escorted royal family of the orcs were scattered.
Emily muttered, "The lupine female orc knight, isn't she the one who guards the royal princess and the queen? How did she appear here?"
Mila was very puzzled and asked Emily, "Emily, do you know her?"
"I don't know!" Emily shook her head, how could she know. Although she had seen the lupine orc knight in the orc kingdom, but she did not know a female lupine orc knight.
The female lupine orc was the most powerful one that Mila had seen among the orcs. The sword was held by one hand and the body was very agile. The sword in hand was swung at will, being cut was not dead or disabled, and she killed seven or eight people in a short while.
Mila said, "Never mind, whether you know her or not, since she's here to help us, she's a good person."
Mila put away the military knife in her hand, took out the 'divine weapon' - compound bow on her back, and opened a tube of special arrows.
"So it begins!" Mila instantly pinched a long arrow, drew the bow and aimed to shoot.
"Not good! Someone shot a cold arrow!"
"There's another orc over there... "
"Damn it, kill the orc who shot the arrow!"
Avery cut off a slave trader's waist, her cold orange eyes glanced in Mila's direction, then focused on killing.
Avery thought, 'Princess, are you inside?'
