I'm afraid so..."
If the human it encounters is the strongest among humans, then the Goblin King still has a chance to fight.
But... the strongest one currently accepted is not An'i, whom Gomon encountered.
Instead, it was some unknown, powerful enemy who threw the corpse of the neighboring country's king into the square.
"Fight to the death against humanity!"
At this moment, a royal attendant from a neighboring country suddenly spoke up.
"Our king is dead! Our lives no longer matter!"
"Let's fight these humans to the death!"
They didn't know who killed their king, but when they arrived here and asked, they felt...
It must have been done by humans!
Moreover... the person who killed their king, just like the humans this empire encountered, let all the orcs escape!
It must have been done by humans!
Gogin sighed deeply: "The loss of one country means the loss of two..."
But if we can win...
It is one king and two kingdoms!
Chapter 62 Arya's Past (4k)
The orcs were settled for three days.
Because the city's reconstruction is still ongoing, there is no shortage of vacant land that has been cleared. So, after consulting with some residents, it was decided that some of the vacant land would be given to the beastmen to live in before the reconstruction reaches that area.
The residents were initially reluctant, as it was land they originally owned.
However, the orcs suggested that they did not need to build houses, only the simplest tents would suffice.
The tents could be dismantled at any time, so the residents naturally had no complaints.
On the first day, they set up tents, ate the food provided by the Brave Alliance, put on new clothes, and laid out simple beds.
Then the whole day was spent orcs reminiscing about the past.
The next day, the orcs, led by the heroes and believers, began to familiarize themselves with the city's streets.
Both the orc adults and children were surprised to find that there were so many humans outside that they didn't know about.
In fact, older people should know this, and may even have had contact with humans.
But humans are too weak, and in the eyes of the orcs, they are no different from pikas and rabbits. In addition, they don't speak the same language, so they don't have much interaction.
Moreover, the human cities in the forest have all been completely destroyed.
In earlier years, Svetland was considered an inland city, but now it has become a border town, so the people here are completely unaware of the existence of orcs.
However, the earliest orcs were frequently seen by the residents, and they were not too surprised by the groups of orcs being rescued on the streets.
It's like meeting a stranger of a different skin color; you don't rudely stare at them.
Passersby noticed that, in fact, there was no difference in appearance between orcs and humans. Not everyone, whether adult or child, could be as beautiful as Arya.
Aside from its ears and tail, it has a generic face, just like most humans.
Both their skin and hair are a dark color, but not as dark as the night. To humans, it looks like healthy dark skin from working in the sun all the time.
This actually makes the beastmen seem more approachable.
If every orc were handsome and fair-skinned, it would unconsciously create a sense of distance between them.
Walking down the street, the brave warriors and believers who were leading the way discovered that the beastmen would collect the ubiquitous scraps of wood and carry them in their hands.
The heroes, who had some understanding of the orc language, explained to them that they wouldn't need to cook or collect wood for a while.
However, the orcs simply shook their heads, saying it had other uses.
Given the heroes' limited understanding of the orc language, they would subconsciously avoid some complex topics, so they didn't ask any further questions.
On the third day, the believers discovered that the orcs were doing the same thing outside the tents.
They were carving something with their claws using the wood they had collected yesterday.
Also on this third day, after two days of busy preparations and training for the orc warriors, An Yi, unusually, came to Arya's room.
I heard that she has been staying in her room ever since she came back, and no one knows what she is doing. She has hardly eaten any of the food that the believers bring her.
An Yi felt that she had recovered for two days, so she should go and check on her condition, right?
He just doesn't like to talk; he's not so cold-hearted as to not care about his friends.
Lycorina certainly wanted to go too, but... Anyi was already so busy, she would only be busier.
Big shots are always busy, seemingly doing nothing all day long.
Layton was naturally worried about her, so he went to her room and knocked on the door.
It wasn't until last night that I realized I had knocked on the wrong door. I had been knocking on the door of an empty room upstairs from Arya for two days.
All I can say is... it's very much his style.
Layton wanted to go this morning, but Annie stopped him.
“Her family is gone, she is very sad and won’t come out of her room, and then you’ve been making noise at her from upstairs for two days.”
Do you think she wants to see you?
Layton: "Ah...ah, hahahahahaha—!! Then let's have Annie go! I just remembered I have to help build a house today! That's it!!"
Then he ran off laughing.
"Tuk-tuk."
Contrary to expectations of no response, an unexpected "thump-thump" sound came from nearby, indicating that someone was running over barefoot.
"Crack!"
"Anyi?!" Aria opened the door.
Besides surprise, her little face was also streaked with snot and tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked incredibly haggard.
Although she had taken off her coat and pants, the shirt stained with goblin blood showed that she probably hadn't showered or changed clothes properly in the past two days.
"How did you know it was me?" Annie asked.
When other people knocked on the door, she remained silent and did not open it.
“Because it was An’s footsteps!” Arya replied.
"Really? Go wash your face, it's dirty." Annie pointed at Aria's face.
"what!"
Arya quickly ran to the bathroom sink, hastily washed her face, dried it with a towel, and then rushed out again, her hair, wet with water, a messy sight.
"Are you feeling better?" Annie asked.
"Hmm...!" Aria wasn't quite sure, but she still managed a smile and nodded.
"Okay, I'll be going now." An Yi nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait! Are they leaving already?!" Aria quickly went out and grabbed An's arm.
"I just came to see if you were feeling any better."
"S will leave after reading it," An Yi said expressionlessly.
“Then what if there’s no good?” Arya countered.
U An Yi: "If you don't open the door, I'm leaving too."
Arya: "Don't go!"
"What can we do if we don't leave?" Annie asked again.
Arya looked away, considered for a moment, and then said, "Talk to me?"
"I'm not very good at comforting you."
"But no matter which goblin killed your family, I'll go and kill it," Anyi said.
Arya was taken aback, remained silent for a long time, and finally smiled and nodded: "Yes, thank you."
She pulled An Yi along, stepped one foot into the room, and said, "Can we come in?"
Anyi scanned Aria from head to toe; she was only wearing a thin shirt, and quite indecently, only her underwear underneath…
An Yi: "No."
I always felt there was danger.
"Just once! Just once!" Aria gripped An's hand tightly.
With her strength, she couldn't pull An Yi away.
Seeing Aria's determined look, Annie thought to herself that if Aria tried to do something strange, she could just run away then.
“Okay, I’ll keep you company for a bit.” An Yi nodded.
Arya happily jumped out the door and hugged An's hand: "Great!"
Annie: "You haven't showered for days, have you?"
Arya: "Crack! Does it...smell really bad?!"
Annie: "No, not either."
Arya: "Phew... I'll shower right away!!"
The room wasn't big, about the same size as the hero's dormitory, just a simple single room, except it had an extra bathroom.
As I entered the room and looked up, I saw a huge pile of clothes that Arya had left in the closet.
The wardrobe door was open, and you could tell that she had just tidied it up, but since she was an orc, she didn't have many clothes in her living quarters, so the tidying was rather hasty.
They change their clothes every year, wearing summer clothes under winter clothes, and then making new summer and winter clothes the following year.
They would wear the clothes from the previous year all winter long, and would not take a bath in the cold winter unless absolutely necessary.
