Therefore, we need to temporarily return to the vicinity of human territory and then have Arya come out to explain their current intentions.
At the same time, Arya should also be asked to translate the orcs' words.
Although the heroes can use the system to learn Arya's beastman language, she's not a good teacher.
It's like talking to a brick wall; after all that time, there's not much information to be gained.
So for now, we can only let her communicate with the beastmen for the time being.
"Put me down!!" (Orcish language)
"puff."
"Duel! I challenge you to a duel!" (Orcish)
"puff."
"Despicable humans!! (Orc language)"
"puff."
The orcs woke up one after another, then opened their eyes, cursed, and were knocked unconscious again by tranquilizer arrows.
Layton, carrying a large group of orcs bound together with iron chains, exclaimed, "Your arrows are quite effective."
Shala shook her head: "The anesthesia time is getting shorter and shorter. I'm afraid they're getting more and more patient."
If the orcs heard this, they would start to wonder how many times they had been stabbed.
As they raced through the forest toward Shiwei Town, some bumps and bruises were inevitable. Some orcs, who had never been beaten before, were inexplicably bruised and battered.
In the middle of the night, we finally got close to Shiwei Town and returned to the area covered by the chat group.
[Private] Sword Hero: Noel, are you still awake? Bring Arya to the forest. You'll see where I am once you're outside the city gates.
The Room of the Food Warrior...
Nuo'er lay sprawled on the bed, fast asleep, her belly exposed. The blanket had somehow been kicked to the floor, and she was muttering, "I can't eat anymore..."
Arya curled up on the ground, hugging her arms and shivering, the fur on her ears standing on end, probably because the ground was too cold.
An Yi waited a while, but didn't receive a reply, so she sent another message in the public chat:
[Sword Hero: Anyone still awake? Go to the Food Hero's room and wake her up.]
Then dozens of heroes met downstairs at the heroes' temporary residence, awkwardly clenching their fists and smiling in front of their mouths. In the end, only one female hero went up and knocked on Noel's door.
After waking Noel from her sleep, she immediately sent a message to Annie.
[Personal] Food Warrior: I dreamt of eating grilled macaques today.
An Yi: "..."
I don't care what we eat! Just bring Arya over here already!
Annie brandished her seven-colored slime sword and flashed it a couple of times. Not long after, Noel, dressed in pajamas, arrived with Arya.
It was carried over on its head in a large basin.
Don't let her cooking fool you; she actually has a strength rating of 10, so moving a person over here is no problem for her.
Arya was still shivering in the basin, looking like she was having a very uncomfortable time sleeping.
An Yi: "..."
It's cold enough, but how come you're sleeping so soundly... You didn't even wake up when we carried you here.
"Wake up, it's time to get down to business." An Yi squatted down and pinched Aria's ear.
By the way, pinching ears wasn't the real purpose; I just thought it was fun.
Chapter 16 Clothes, I want them (4k)
"Meow--!!"
A pitiful scream rang out.
The orcs, who had been unconscious, opened their eyes almost simultaneously. It was the cry of a woman of their own kind, and painful memories were immediately brought back to their minds.
Looking around, they were tied together and lying on the ground in a pile.
"A woman! There's a woman's cry! What have these humans done?!" (Orcish language)
"Damn it! I thought they were on our side! (Orcish language)"
"Turns out they're no different from goblins after all!" (Orcish)
After exchanging a few words, they suddenly realized something was wrong.
Looking around again, the group of humans from before had all disappeared!
Suddenly, a terrifying possibility came to mind.
These humans... are they going to deliberately torture their own women in front of them next?!
Sure enough, their worst fears came true!
Hearing the sounds of someone approaching from the shadows, they saw a cat-eared woman emerge from the forest, followed by a human.
8. You can tell from the other person's scent that they are a child who has just come of age or even a minor, because the scent of a female orc who has given birth is different from that of a female orc who has never been with a man.
Secondly, orcs usually find a mate within a year of reaching adulthood, so the other person is most likely a teenager.
"No! No no no no!! (Orc language)"
This scene seemed to evoke painful memories for the orcs. They roared and gritted their teeth, trying to control their bodies, but even with their necks turning red from the effort, they couldn't move an inch!
Their brains recovered from the anesthesia, but their bodies remained immobile.
Are Zero and the others going to have to watch their people get killed again?!
“If you’re so capable, let’s have a duel between males! What kind of skill is it to lay a hand on a child?!” (orcish voice) roared an orc.
"Kill me if you want! Release the child!!" Another orc glared, his eyes bloodshot.
However, when Aria heard the beastman language in front of An Yi, she was stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up in her eyes.
The orcs thought Arya was crying because she was terrified of the impending pain and death, so they loudly comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, child! You'll be alright!"
"Damn it! Move! Move!! Why won't my hands and feet obey me!"
"Don't be afraid, kid! Calm down! Like a hunter, turn around and bite him to death!"
Some of the orcs comforted Arya, some were angry that they couldn't intervene, and some even gave her advice on how to kill Anyi.
Arya was initially moved by the reunion with her people, but now she just tilted her head and stared blankly.
What are they talking about?
What... nothing will happen?
She was fine to begin with, wasn't she?
Perhaps she was a little confused by what her fellow tribesmen were saying, but she calmed down from her initial感动 (feeling moved).
She glanced at her thin nightgown and her face suddenly felt hot.
To be dressed like that is bad enough, but to be stared at by a large group of fellow clansmen is just too embarrassing!
Arya swiftly hid behind An Yi and began to pull off his coat: "I want his clothes."
Although Arya still has difficulty speaking complete sentences, she can already use some words to explain her needs.
"Oh." Annie unbuttoned her coat, letting Aria pull it off.
She quickly put on An Yi's clothes, zipped them up, and felt warmer from the residual warmth of the clothes.
The beastmen were all astonished by this scene, completely bewildered by what was happening.
Humans...aren't they going to kill that child?
Why do the two seem to have a good relationship?
After wrapping herself in her clothes, Arya took a few steps forward, but didn't get too close.
An Yi didn't tell her anything, and she couldn't understand any specific words, so let her improvise.
It would be good if we could tell the beastmen what humans want to do.
Arya took a deep breath and then spoke in the orc language: "Uncles and brothers, I am Anya, a cat-eared person from the Tanja tribe."
In fact, they already knew from the smell that they had never met Arya before and were not from the same tribe.
When the Tanja tribe was mentioned, only some of the orcs reacted, and some had never even heard of the tribe.
"Has the Tanga tribe... already fallen?" an orc asked in a deep voice.
"I was the only one who escaped; I don't know where the other members of my tribe went."
"Has anyone seen them?" Arya asked without much hope.
"I'm sorry, child, tribes enslaved by goblins cannot meet each other."
"Perhaps they are still alive, but we don't know where they are," one of the orcs replied.
"Why? Weren't they locked up together?" Arya asked, puzzled.
"No, goblins enslave us so that we can hunt for higher-ranking goblins."
Based on current information, each tribe has different hunting areas.
Moreover, when hunting, goblins will send ordinary goblins to cordon off the area, and if they discover that we are escaping, they will kill our family members.
Reaching the boundary of the area isolated by the goblins is already the limit; running into other areas is also not an option.
"If we cross that line, our families will be in mortal danger," one of the orcs explained.
“I see…” Arya’s delicate brows furrowed deeply.
She watched helplessly as the goblins led away a group of their people, learning that they had been enslaved, but she didn't know that the goblins were keeping such strict control over them.
Even tribes that were also enslaved had no way of knowing information about other tribes.
"And what about those humans? What did they do to you?"
Finally, an orc asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
N-A-A
