Chapter 292 Our team faces the sun
Chapter 292 Our team faces the sun
The thunder rumbles, rolling from one end of the sky to the other, and the heavy rain clouds above the head seem to be boundless, the raindrops are connected into water lines, the gray water curtain covers the earth, and the green leaves on the top of the stone tremble in the water wind , small streams of water gather under the barren branches and vines, twist and turn downwards along the terrain, with broken leaves, broken branches and sediment, forming short streams. Pairs of rough feet with straw sandals step on this seasonal waterway, Stepping on the blossoming water, the heavy breathing can be clearly heard in the sound of rain.
"Keep up! Keep up! Look at your feet! Pull the one in front!"
Someone shouted in the rain, and the rain covered his gray clothes completely. He looked more uncomfortable than the young orcs in this team who only wore leather vests and short leather skirts. Almost everyone was tired. It seems that only these escorts in uniform gray uniforms still retain enough physical strength and energy. They walked back and forth to check the two ends of the long line of hundreds of people, urging loudly and yelling at those who were slipped and tripped. The teenage orc pulled up.Taklar pushed a young orc back to the team by the back collar, then wiped the water on his face, and pushed back the short hair stuck to his forehead. He stood by the narrow mountain road, Looking up, there seemed to be no end to the cold rain, and no end to the wet hills.
He glanced at the struggling team around him again.
This training has been going on for five days, and the route they took is not the longest and not the most complicated in their original training plan when Fan Tianlan was the captain of the reserve team. In the exploration and development of this area by humans, the distance is decreasing day by day, so Takla thinks that he is very considerate of these little boys.Although their earlobes are down, they are depressed, and they seem to have no energy to think of resistance and escape, but so far, no one has been seriously injured, and no one has been left behind. The heavy rain may make some weak teenagers sick. However, the foundation of the previous month in the prison camp allowed them to persist until the end.
It doesn't matter if one or two die.Takla knew that Yunshen could accept this level of loss, just like he could accept dozens of casualties in the process of his construction and development of settlements. It was not that Yunshen did not anticipate those dangerous situations, but There are idiots.Even if the medical team in the military camp is working hard to study medical skills, it is impossible to save the lives of all patients, let alone know whether they are worth it.Among the cubs who were handed over to him, the oldest was 16 years old. Although 16 years old should be considered an adult in most places, when the captives were released, the orcs of this age were still kept. The youngest is only nine years old, and it is a great fortune to live to be captured. However, this kind of little thing is really lucky. Those under the age of 12 are arranged by Yunshen, and the remaining more than 200 are wild and unruly. The guy with the out-of-the-ordinary brain over to him—at least it's completely out of place here.
When Fan Tianlan was exposed to the sun and rain in Sachel's original place for a big project, his current task was to turn these little beasts into people.
"They are still human beings now, but I hope they can become human beings of another definition." Yun Shen told him, "Not only animals that can make and use tools for labor, but also use language for communication."
The heavy rain that lasted for an afternoon almost took away everyone's physical strength. After discovering the spire of the barracks watchtower in the gloomy twilight, even the instructors who were calm and calm all the way were relieved. The young orcs don't need to be urged by humans. Their survival instinct has already inspired them to move towards the safe place that can bring them warmth and food.It took a longer time from the discovery of the target to the arrival than the visual estimate. When the huge wooden door closed, some teenagers even sat on the ground with weak legs, and their companions who passed by were also tired, but they still kicked their knees When they got up, they had been divided into specific teams, and only when all members arrived, human food and hot water would be provided to them.
Even though humans seldom use the language of orcs since they came here, these young orcs quickly learned the rules that are different from the captive camps here. Most of them were sent to the nobles of the imperial capital by their own tribes. Among them, they learned the rules of survival early. It is precisely because they are familiar with these rules that they still obey the rules of the winners. However, the rules made by these humans are completely different from what they are familiar with, which makes them feel confused. Some teenagers even feel irritable. ——This kind of irritability is not only due to the discipline of humans. After all, they were targeted as early as in the prison camps, and obviously, humans didn't really come to the adult orcs or them at that time.
Seeing the already familiar door of the cafeteria and the bright light shining through it, and smelling the warm and rich aroma of food, the little spirit left by the teenagers perked up, and they were pressed against the sink on the side of the door to wash their hands and feet in a hurry. After leaving the mud trail, they rushed into the wide hall of the cafeteria, found the long table marked with the numbers belonging to their respective teams, and waited anxiously and focused.The food was delivered quickly. The potato cakes in the flat rattan baskets were piled high, and the vegetables mixed with minced meat in several huge clay pots were shining with oil. They rushed on them almost immediately, amidst the sound of gobbling In the middle, there was the sound of wheels moving on the hard ground, and the people in the cafeteria pushed out large vats of sweet soup from it.
Even food alone is enough to make many orcs willing to submit to humans.What's more, they had just gone through such a painful long-distance trek, and once again experienced the kind of hunger that almost emptied their internal organs, and once again remembered the exhaustion and numbness when they traveled with the army, escaped from humans, and escaped from the Sacher territory Thoughts have already been shaken, and there are probably even fewer people who are still persistent.
On the other side of the hall, the human escorts who call themselves "instructors" also have their own tables. The food they eat is almost the same as these orc teenagers, except for a few more wine cans. They eat and talk in a low voice, watching from time to time The orc next to him glanced.Their movements seemed more leisurely than those of the youngsters, but when the youngsters threw their bowls in front of the soup bucket, they had already started drinking.
Sweet food always has great appeal to minors. The boiled variegated beans roll in the dark viscous soup, and the sweet smell permeates the surroundings, giving people a different kind of food that is different from simple food cravings.What is different from usual is that this time the person in charge of distributing the soup with the spoon is not a stout werewolf woman, but a petite human girl, with soft and shiny golden hair and clean white skin, she will become quite a Expensive goods, not to mention that she has a pair of wet and shy eyes like a cub, another black-haired girl is standing beside her, her height is no lower than the orc boys here, holding paper and pen in her hand He stared at the team with a serious expression.
The instructors didn't pay special attention to this, and the topic of their conversation gradually diverged from this training to other aspects.As personnel who have completely separated from production and are developing towards a purely military direction, they have known some small changes in the barracks in the shortest possible time. A group of students came here for a short training——and these orc cubs Together.
This period of time is neither short nor long, one month, and the students must participate in all the labor within their ability. They are all good children who have been taught by the magician, and they will not be troublesome to anyone.As students of warlocks, the bright future of the colony, these children need to learn how to fight, and in the future, more powerful weapons may be produced by some of them.Not only these children, adjustments are also being made within the settlements, and similar training will be carried out in factories and mining areas where the population is concentrated.
After that war, it is undeniable that many people let go of their burdens.There is no need to repeat the pressure before the war. After doing everything possible to prepare, the war itself ended so easily, and the previous trembling seemed unnecessary. The number of enemies is so large, but the strength is so weak, and many people have won. The confidence of a victory, and that confidence is not blind.Their enemies have no advantage other than numbers, the gap between them is so obvious that anyone with a semblance of reason can spot it, and what causes this distance is not weapons, but behind them, because a talent is born The almost all-powerful behemoth.
If anyone knows what the Warlock has created in this land, and the order he wishes to establish, there are only two things any powerful being can do: possess him, and destroy him.The enemies they have encountered so far are actually not very aware of the existence of the magician, but their actions have fully demonstrated what they can do, and their failures have also proved what the magician has always wanted to prove: "ignorance and weakness It's not an obstacle to survival, arrogance is."
The Warlock didn't show much joy because of these insignificant victories. The team he cultivated protected his people and allowed his construction to proceed unswervingly, but this was just the beginning.So the barracks absorbed these former youth soldiers, so one more task of production and learning in the settlement was added. The war has passed, and the time of celebration has passed, but some people want to continue to indulge in victory , and even feel that this should become the norm.
After getting along with those orcs who were summoned and attracted at the Musa Conference, after competing with them on the sports field and on the stage, for various reasons, I have never been able to get along with these objects who may become their neighbors Some people's curiosity was satisfied, and then they had more opinions because of the strong contrast in many aspects.Judging from the results, the young people responsible for managing and maintaining the order of the conference have done a good job, but internally, after being tortured by all kinds of stupid and difficult clients, they inevitably have some remarks, which are whispered and snickered by others Together, mixed into some complex emotions spread among various groups.
Pride, pity, and contempt.
But these sentiments are masked by a unified will to power.
"We need population, very large population; we need minerals, discovered and undiscovered minerals; we need land, enough land to provide it all." all of these."
He put down the manuscript paper in his hand, and looked at everyone present with his slender and sharp eyes, "This is the second purpose of our team's existence that we have this kind of power now."
"It's us," Mingyue turned from the blackboard, "our work is very important, maybe even more important than other jobs. Others change what exists in reality, but we want to change what exists in people's heads and hearts .” She reached out and tapped her forehead, then stroked down, landing on her heart, “The way they look at the world, the way they treat others, their diet, their sleep, their names and their beliefs. "
With her hands on the table, she looked at her companions with bright black eyes, "We can do it."
Li Hong stood in front of a huge tree-shaped surface made of dozens of thick papers. He was also proud of some of his abilities. For example, no matter how long it took, he could remember anyone who had fought him. The faces of the people you interact with, their accents and quirks that can be detected.He also did his best with his current responsibilities, but it was already difficult for him to learn as a young man, and this kind of chart helped him face the increasingly complex situation in the settlement.
And now there are more branches to be added to this huge table.
"Allies attracted by interests and power will not be reliable." He said to Shiratori beside him that he would be incompetent one day. This is his chosen successor, which has been approved by the magician and others , "What kind of benefits do they want, they should give what rewards, even if they can't afford anything, they still have people. We want to completely control these lands, we want to build a city planned by the magician, and we must Let people gather together, let each of them have their own place, whether it is farming, weaving or other things, don't let them be idle, and don't let them gather together."
With a pencil in his hand, he drew an imaginary circle on those blank branches, and said, "It's some people now, and I'm afraid it will be all of them in the future."
Shiratori looked at the names at the top of the chart and asked, "Apart from Sachel's werewolf, do we not want any other allies?"
"Those tribal leaders, their elders, and their subordinates," Li Hong said, "are different from Scar Nightmare, and they will not stand with our magicians."
"—I understand." Shiratori said.
The dinner time is coming to an end, the instructor's table is clean, and the chat is coming to an end, but the time for rest is far from coming, they all got up, tidied up their appearance, and were about to part ways, when a commotion suddenly came from the side, everyone turned to look past.
An instructor walked over there, "It's my team."
His footsteps were fast, and his hands were also fast. Amidst the roars characteristic of young people, two young orcs fell out and rolled to the foot of the table. The space created by the others allowed the trainer to intervene quickly. , he knocked away a young orc who was standing in front of him, and without hesitation reached out and grabbed the back of the necks of the two orcs who were rushing towards one of them, and with a flick of his arms, he threw them to the ground.
The person in the center of the fight also threw the last opponent out, and then turned to look at the trainer. There were two obvious bloodstains on his face, his cheekbones were already bruised, and his eyes were so sharp that he didn't look like a girl.
Yes, it was a girl, tall, thin, with black hair and black eyes.As far as the last characteristic is concerned, it is very rare for her to be able to beat five people.
Two more instructors arrived, forcibly separated the orc boy from the few students, and shouted: "Everyone shut up! Everyone will have breakfast tomorrow!"
There was a scream of discontent and anger, and then they all fell silent for a short while.Don't rebel against adults with power and authority, no matter what race they belong to, at least that's what the young orcs learned thoroughly.
The five orc teenagers were pulled together and stood in a row, with messy hair and unspeakable expressions. The others were in the outer circle, silently watching the scene in front of them, and the three trainers on the inside stood in the middle.
"Apologize to her!" The trainer in charge of the most difficult team among the difficult ones snapped. He used the language of the orcs, and no one could pretend not to understand in front of him.
After a while of silence, the trainer looked at them and said in a light tone, "You won't want to know the consequences, I promise."
Finally one person moved, and then the five orc teenagers stepped forward one by one, their knees landed heavily, and they buried their heads deeply towards the girl.
