Chapter 34 - The Despair that Had Descended once Again

Feng Buhuo and the others were exploring the secret of that pillar.

At the same time, in the core area of the dense forest.

Andrew was with the remaining half-orcs who were under his command.

“Leader, are we going to do this?”

The one who spoke was a lackey with an extremely grave expression.

Andrew glanced at him.

His cold gaze made him shiver uncontrollably.

“Otherwise, do you have a better idea?”

“But, this giant beast will not recognize its kin. If we let it out and can’t control it, then…”

“Hmph, even if we can’t control them, we can still use them to deal with those hateful intruders!”

Andrew clenched the mace in his hand, killing intent surging in his eyes.

“No matter what, everyone has the blood of the orcs.”

“Although they won’t listen to our orders, they won’t hurt us easily.”

“And the elves have taken that thing away. They will take it back first.”

The lackey listened to Andrew’s analysis and couldn’t help but nod.

However, he soon discovered another problem.

“But, why would they attack those humans?”

“Stupid, do you even need to ask?”

Andrew directly patted the back of his head.

“Those humans saved the elves, even if they had nothing to do with each other initially.”

“But now, there’s a connection between the two.”

“Maybe they’re together now. If that’s the case, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

“Not only can we get the thing back, but we can also destroy those humans and… that terrifying beast!”

Unfortunately, Andrew didn’t know that the two races had already gone their separate ways, and his assumptions might have gone down the drain. He would be furious if he knew that it was because of Princess Connie’s arrogance that created a rift between the two.

Speaking of Little Fiery, Andrew shivered again.

Everything that had happened just now was still vivid in his mind. His fear of Little Fiery was currently deeply rooted in him.

The lackeys around him also twitched in fear.

They didn’t know what kind of strange beast it was.

It had such powerful strength.

For such a race, perhaps it only needed an ordinary member to wipe out the entire race of half-orcs.

Even the proud Andrew had to admit to this.

Although he looked down on the human race, the half-orcs’ position was even more awkward.

They belonged to a mixed-race, a race that wasn’t considered very powerful.

In this apocalyptic world, it was also very difficult to survive.

The reason why they looked down on the humans wasn’t that the human race was weak.

It was because this kind of attitude was necessary for them to rely on a large number of orcs.

To display their worship to the orcs, they had to show that they hated the human race even more than the orcs.

Andrew suddenly stopped and looked behind him.

His face was ashen, and his entire body was trembling due to anger.

“Humans, elves, just you wait. I will make this abyssal forest your burial ground!”

How would Andrew react if he found out that Feng Buhuo had already led his team to loot one of their important bases, as well as taking all the resources that they had accumulated for a long time as his own?

…

Not long after, in another part of the abyssal forest.

Princess Connie and a few of her guards were walking through the forest.

Although the abyssal forest had long become the territory of the half-orcs, the elves were the original owners of the forest after all.

Therefore, Princess Connie was very familiar with the area here, which was why they were able to successfully seize this thing.

Unfortunately, after they succeeded, they were still discovered by the half-orcs.

In the end, they were chased away by the half-orcs. If they hadn’t met with Feng Buhuo and the others, they would have been done for.

Not all elves looked down on humans.

Part of the reason why Princess Connie said those words was because she was an elf.

Another part of the reason was that she was the princess of the elves.

The education of the royal family of the elves was crazy self-hypnosis.

It was so hypnotic that every prince and princess of the elves believed that they were one of the noblest creatures in the world.

And the human race, who looked like them appearance-wise, was one of the lowest and most degrading races.

Therefore, the root of the corruption of the elves originated from their current royal family.

Princess Connie and the other elves relaxed after not encountering any more attacks.

“Princess, we’ll be able to leave the depths of the forest soon!”

Some of the guards were excited.

After all, they had escaped death.

In comparison, Princess Connie’s appeared much more stable and calm.

“Yes, but everyone still needs to be careful. Only when we reach the outskirts of the forest can we be considered to be out of danger.”

The guard nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, “Princess, I shouldn’t have said anything, but weren’t you a little too… cold-hearted towards those humans just now?”

Princess Connie’s expression instantly darkened. “Hmph, cold-hearted? I don’t think so.”

“That’s the truth. I didn’t say anything wrong.”

“But, after all, those humans saved us.”

“So what? I’m a dignified princess of the elves.”

Princess Connie put her hands on her hips, her face full of arrogance and disdain.

“They’re just a bunch of lowly humans. There’s no chance of them coming into contact with us.”

“They should feel lucky that they have the chance to help us!”

“Besides, my guards died loyally. They died solemnly, but not tragically.”

“Blame them for saying the wrong thing!”

“Even if I, Connie, die, I won’t put in a good word for them!”

The guards all had bitter expressions.

The princess had a good heart.

It could be seen from her attitude towards the guards.

If an ordinary guard dared to say that the princess was cold-hearted, he would probably be sent to the gallows.

But Princess Connie wouldn’t do that to them.

It was just that Princess Connie was too proud and would never admit her mistake.

Not to mention that the other party was a human.

But what could they do?

They were just Connie’s guards. No matter how good Connie was to them, they didn’t dare to go against the rules and force Connie to admit her mistake.

But with Princess Connie’s personality, it was likely that she still had a hard time ahead of her.

Sigh…

“Quick, it’s not far ahead. Faster!”

Princess Connie looked at the sparse vegetation not far away and was overjoyed.

As long as they moved a little further, they would succeed.

That thing would truly belong to her.

And the next elven throne would belong to her younger brother, the prince!

The guards around her were also delighted beyond measure.

Was this crisis finally coming to an end?

However, the heavens had pulled a joke on them.

Just when they thought that hope was right in front of them, despair descended..
