Chapter 39: Chapter 39, Orc Raid_l

Translator: 549690339

Fang Hao and Eira, riding a horse cart, left Manim Market.

To avoid causing panic and unnecessary troubles among the Orcs.

The camping spot of the Skeleton army was a twenty-minute journey from Manim Market.

Now, they were on their way to the camping site to rendezvous with the Skeleton army.

On the road, Eira kept her head low, appearing cautious and careful the entire time.

“How did you become a slave?” Fang Hao casually asked.

There was indeed a lack of human presence in his territory.

Being constantly surrounded by cardboard cutout skeletons was something Fang Hao had grown tired of, and this was also why he agreed to purchase Eira. Who could resist the addition of a charming bunny girl?

“Our village was attacked, the survivors scattered, I was captured and became a slave,” Eira explained softly.

The Orc Tribe only respects strength.

All rules are based on power.

For weak races like the Rabbitmen Clan, even if they were willing to become a vassal of other tribes, few powerful tribes would accept them.

Once a village was wiped out, there would be people hunting for valuable folks, branding them as slaves.

Slave masters would train their slaves to not resist against their masters, making them easier to sell.

“Do you have any family left or any kin?” Fang Hao continued to ask.

Eira shook her head, indicating that she had no family left.

Being members of the Rabbitmen Clan, they were weak and not suited to the Orc lifestyle.

“Interestingly, I’m alone too. No worries, we need to look forward.” Fang Hao drove the horse kart and murmurmed.

Only then did Eira lift up her head, looking curiously at Fang Hao before quickly lowering it again.

[The Rabbitmen Clan’s Eira’s loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current loyalty is 75.]

A system prompt suddenly appeared.

Loyalty?

Right, the system had mentioned loyalty on the first day after Fang Hao’s arrival.

If loyalty was too low, farmers or soldiers would become unproductive or even desert.

He had been dealing with not-so-intelligent skeletons all along and almost forgot about this matter.

But, he didn’t really say anything just now, yet her loyalty increased.

He immediately checked Eira’s attributes.

[Eira (Tier 1)]

[Faction: Orcs]

(Description: Rabbitmen Clan differs from other Orcs, they don’t believe in ‘strike first, think later’, rather they prefer to think first.)

Not bad at all.

Although only tier 1, Fang Hao had no expectations of her participating in battles.

The cart continued to move forward, they were nearing the Skeleton camp.

Once past the hillock ahead, they would reach the location of the Skeleton camp.

After all, undead creatures had a bad reputation, so they chose a rather hidden place when setting up the camp.

At that point.

Eira’s pristine rabbit ears twitched suddenly.

Her head jolted up instantaneously, her eyes filled with horror as she looked to the left.

“What’s wrong?” Fang Hao noticed Eira’s action.

“Master, a crowd is approaching rapidly,” Eira said anxiously.

“What?”

Fang Hao was taken aback. He hadn’t heard anything.

He looked to his left, but the forest blocked his view and he couldn’t see anyone.

However, Fang Hao knew that given Eira’s character, she wouldn’t joke around at a time like this, and her innate ability of alertness suggested that someone was indeed approaching.

“Watch me!” Fang Hao said, then immediately deployed God’s Presence.

“Huh?” Eira didn’t understand what Fang Hao was saying, but the next second she saw him collapse weakly.

She swiftly caught Fang Hao and took hold of the horse cart reins, continuing to drive it forward.

A skeleton camp in the mountain valley.

Blue flames ignited within the body of the Skeleton Giant Bat.

[God’s Presence Target: Skeleton Giant Bat, Compatibility 45%.]

The next second, Fang Hao, controlling the Skeleton Giant Bat, soared into the sky.

Looking down on the earth, Eira could be seen driving the horse cart, slowly approaching this place, and indeed, behind the forest on the left of the cart, dozens of orcs were rapidly closing in.

And their target was his horse cart.

“Greed truly is a death warrant,” Fang Hao muttered.

These orcs were clearly coveting the wealth Fang Hao had acquired. Unable to make a move in Manim Market, they planned to stop Fang Hao’s convoy on the road.

After all, the party consisted of only Fang Hao and Eira.

It was as vulnerable as a sheep.

After clarifying the situation, Fang Hao descended and started directing the skeleton army, making preparations.

The five horse carts moving together had significantly slowed their speed.

Meanwhile, orc figures were now visible emerging from the forest on the left, running towards the direction of the cart.

Fang Hao cancelled his God’s Presence, directed the cart away from the main path, and moved towards the front-right.

He charged into the mountain recess.

However, the incoming orcs had blocked Fang Hao’s route, surrounding the convoy.

Looking at the mob of orcs, Fang Hao was not at all nervous and said calmly, “The rules of the Manim Market prohibit any force from looting. Are you planning to break the rules?”

“Heh! If we kill you two, who will know we did it?” An orc sneered.

His gaze, however, was continuously scanning the boxes on the horse cart.

The convoy was surrounded by the orc party who blocked Fang Hao’s way out.

They knew that the dilapidated wooden box was filled with Warfire Coins.

If they could rob it, they would amass a fortune.

How could they not be tempted?

“So, no room for negotiation?” Fang Hao unflinchingly asked.

“Haha! Interesting human, you think you could still make it out alive?” The orcs laughed arrogantly.

“We will skin you alive, chop you to pieces, make a stew out of you and share it among ourselves.” The orc licked his lips, “You won’t even have a body left, who would know how you died.”

The orcs chuckled and laughed, as if they were teasing their prey.

“Remember to throw away his brains, he’s a dumbass. Eating it might affect our intelligence,” another orc loudly added.

On the main road, the orcs were somewhat cautious.

But they didn’t expect this human to be an idiot, driving the horse cart into this recess of the mountains.

What a good place to kill and loot.

While the orcs were discussing their ‘menu’, deciding how to cook the two of them, Eira asked with a trembling voice, “Mas- – Master, what should we do?”

She thought to herself how unlucky she was.

She had just been sold to a human being and had run into such trouble.

“Don’t worry, they are merely sacrifices.” Fang Hao said with a smile.

The noisy surroundings suddenly went silent.

Anger surfaced on the faces of the orcs.

They found this human incredibly arrogant, they considered his insults towards them even while facing death quite outrageous.

“Kid, you’re asking for death, let’s get him. The money will be equally shared amongst us,” ordered the leading orc coldly.

The rest of the orcs, roaring angrily, prepared to slaughter this presumptuous human.

Creak, creak, creak!!

Then, a series of intensive sounds, like the rubbing of bones, echoed around them.

Next, undead skeletons, equipped with armor and weapons, emerged from behind the hollow, surrounding everyone..
