Walking into Shata City, the border city of the Orc Empire, Ron almost thought he had come to a human country.
Around Ron, all people walked by were human beings, mercenaries, merchants, handicraftsmen, farmers, beggars, and even the standing town guards were all human beings, not even a single orc.
"Is this really the Orc Empire?" Ron was in a trance.
As if he had seen through Ron's mind, Dinwiddie walked over and said with a smile, "It's strange, isn't it, it's the Orc Empire, and most of what you see are humans..."
Ron nodded, expecting to see a bunch of ugly-faced orc men, or a bunch of what Dinwiddie called "beautiful" orc women, but he didn't see any.
Dinwiddie smiled and explained, "The territory of the Orc Empire is very large, three to four times larger than the combined territory of all human countries, and their population is less than one-fifth of the total human population. , you can imagine how desolate it is... "
"Because the orcs are basically excellent fighters and there is a serious shortage of labor force, hundreds of years ago, a large number of people from other races were introduced to enrich the country's labor force. It is conceivable that the opposition at that time was very fierce. The Beast Emperor at that time, that is, the current God's Domain powerhouse, the Tauren God of War—Lijia, through unremitting efforts, swept away all resistance, and made this happen... "
"That's why the orc empire has become so prosperous now..." Dinwiddie concluded.
Ron nodded secretly. With a vast territory, rich resources, sufficient labor and powerful soldiers, it is no wonder that such a country is not rich.
Ron chatted with the wave mercenary group, and soon came to the city gate.
Like Ron, the guard at the city gate was a human being. It was strange that he only glanced at Dinwiddie and his party, and let them in without saying anything.
"This is coming in?"
Ron was dumbfounded when he saw it. He thought he would check something, but he didn't.
Dinwiddie smiled and said, "The Orc Empire is a great country. Its greatness lies in its freedom. This country has no borders. As long as you want, anyone can come in and leave at any time. No one will check you. The origin of these guards is only to deal with emergencies... "
Entering Shata City, Ron opened his eyes and was shocked in his heart. He saw that the city of the Orc Empire was indeed much more magnificent than the Holy Roman Empire or the Roland Empire. Everyone was well-dressed and smiling. All kinds of luxury shops are one after another, with a dazzling array of goods, filling the entire shelf.
Ron was almost dazzled, walking all the way, everything he saw was human, and he didn't see a single orc.
"Ron, let's go to the mercenary station to hand over the mission first, and then go to the tavern for a drink!" Dinwiddie greeted enthusiastically.
Along the way, he admired the orc empire very much, and he did not hesitate to praise it, so he derogated the human country in his words.
"Hehe, this is our mercenary tavern in Shata City, how is it? It's very big, the human empire doesn't have such a gorgeous building..." Dinwiddie stabbed the human empire without losing the opportunity, and led a group of mercenaries away went in.
After hearing these words a lot, Ron was also a little speechless, but he also had to admit that, as a border city, the huge and magnificent building in front of him really shocked him.
"Welcome, gentlemen mercenaries..."
The two human waiters in front of the door saw the crowd approaching, bowed without losing the opportunity, and opened the door for them.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will be greeted by a large statue garden. All kinds of stone carvings are lifelike and full of artistic atmosphere. It is reported that these are the works of master craftsmen.
Pass through the statue garden and come to a large hall, this is where they hand over the task.
"Ron, wait here for a while, we'll come after handing over the mission... Staphine, you guys go and get ready." Dinwiddie smiled and said to Ron, "I'll find you a drink later!"
"Okay!" Ron didn't refuse, but he wanted to learn more about the Orc Empire from this enthusiastic mercenary captain.
A group of eighteen people quickly entered the inner hall, leaving only Ron standing there blankly, a little silly.
Ron looked around and saw a long counter. Behind the counter were the staff of the mercenary station. As far as he could see, the staff here were all human beings.
Dinwiddie and his party came to the counter and said something to the waiter at work.
Everyone is working and everything appears to be in order.
In the nearby mercenary lounge, some humans in mercenary attire sat on large chairs, closed their eyes and meditated. I have to say that the environment and conditions here are much better than those in the human kingdom.
For some reason, seeing the humans in the Orc Empire, Ron had a feeling that the humans here were different from the humans in the Human Empire, but Ron couldn't tell what the difference was.
At this time, Ron felt his body was bumped, and he couldn't catch up, and was knocked aside.
"Go away! Damn human, you are blocking the way of my uncle..."
Before Ron could react, he heard a muffled voice with a hint of anger in it.
Ron was taken aback, and looked back, only to see a tall figure.
A burly orc warrior!
A huge orc man with a height of more than two meters, with bronze skin and thick plate armor, his chin protrudes upwards like an orangutan that has not yet degenerated. There is a fierce light in his small mung bean-like eyes. His hairstyle is a bit strange. Tied into small braids, casually draped behind the head.
Tall, strong and ugly!
This is Ron's three-word comment after seeing the orc.
The orc man glanced at Ron, sneered contemptuously, ignored Ron, and walked straight over.
Ron rubbed his sore shoulder, feeling annoyed in his heart. He was originally an unyielding character. Seeing that the orc bumped into someone without apologizing, he couldn't help it all of a sudden, and said aloud.
"You stop for me..."
The orc warrior was obviously taken aback when he heard that, turned his huge body around, looked Ron up and down, and said in a low voice, "You called me?"
"Of course I'm calling you!"
Ron said coldly, "You hit me just now, didn't your father teach you to apologize?"
"Apologize?"
The orc man was a little unbelievable. He was a little surprised by the courage of the small human in front of him. He pointed to his nose and said, "You said I want to apologize to you? Human... are you sure?"
Ron raised his head slightly, his eyes were awe-inspiring, "I think, there is no need to say it a second time!"
The orc man was convinced that he had heard correctly. He lowered his face and said in a cold voice, "Don't forget your identity, human, this is the orc empire, not a place for you to run wild..."
After finishing his sentence coldly, he turned around and wanted to leave, before saying, "Idiot!"
Ron finally couldn't take it anymore, his body fogged up, and with a "shua—", a white bone spear stretched out from his hand in a black robe, aiming at the orc man's throat.
The orc man stopped, and he was stunned for a while. He didn't even see clearly how this thin human appeared in front of him, as if it just popped out of the ground.
Facing the sharp point of the gun, the orc man calmed down, and he still did not change his face, "You are very courageous, I have never seen a human who dared to point a weapon at an orc, but I have to tell you, although I think I'm a gentleman, but my patience has a limit..."
"Maybe!" Ron said coldly, "There is a first time for everything."
The orc man sneered, "I guess, you are a human from another place, or you are very confident in your own strength!"
"It has nothing to do with strength..." Ron stretched out his bone spear, staring at the orc with stern eyes, "All I want is an explanation..."
When the orc man heard this, he was finally irritated. He roared and said, "You bastard, okay... I'll give you an explanation..."
The space bag at his waist flashed, and a long-handled two-handed giant ax appeared in the hands of the orc man. He had a fierce look in his eyes and strode towards Ron.
Ron was fearless. He stretched out his left hand, and another bone spear appeared in his hand. The bone spear twirled in his hand and put it under his armpit. The first bone spear stretched forward and aimed at the orc man from afar.
At this time, the conflict in the hall attracted the attention of many people.
"Look, he... he... actually swung his weapon at the orc?" a human mercenary said in surprise.
"And, he's still a human!" Another human mercenary said.
At this time, Dinwiddie and the others finally handed over the task and came back, and they were shocked when they saw Ron's battle at this time.
"Look... Ron... and the orcs..." Stephanie said anxiously, she couldn't even finish her sentence.
"Brother Ron... Brother Ron... what are you doing?"
Dinwiddie was so frightened that he rushed over immediately, pressed down Ron's weapon, and said angrily, "Ron, how dare you do anything to the orc?"
Stephanie also rushed over, her expression was unkind, and she stared at him coldly.
"I-"
Ron was about to explain, but he was interrupted by Dinwiddie when he just said a word, "No matter what your reason is, you can't do anything to the orc, and why don't you apologize to the orc?" He winked at Ron .
Ron was a little strange. He looked around and was shocked, "What's going on?"
All the mercenaries in the hall stared at him coldly with unfriendly expressions. Their hands were on their weapons, ready to pounce at any time. To Ron's great surprise, all of these people were human.
The orc man sneered, "It seems that I don't need to do anything to clean you up!"
Dinwiddie sighed secretly. He regretted bringing Ron to the Orc Empire. This is a guy who doesn't know anything. Do you think this is their human empire
Dinwiddie secretly groaned in his heart, not knowing how the orc would deal with them.
"It wouldn't be worth it if he got himself into trouble, just find a way to let him go later..." Dinwiddie thought in his heart, he pondered quickly, and said to the orc man with a smile on his face.
"Master Orc, I'm sorry, this is Ron, my friend, a human from outside, he came to the Orc Empire for the first time, he doesn't understand the rules, please don't take offense..."
"Hmph—" the orc-lord put away his weapon, and stared at Ron fiercely, "I am in a good mood today, so I don't care about you..." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
"Thank you, Lord Beastman!" Dinwiddie was overjoyed, and said loudly to the back of the Beastman. He didn't expect this matter to be solved easily. You know, such things are big or small in the Beastman Empire. If the Beastmen don't let go, they will It's difficult.
"Ron, this orc empire is no better than anywhere else, so don't be reckless next time!" Dinwiddie blamed and said, and he was relieved that the matter was resolved.
"Hmph, you dare to do something to the orc, you don't know how to live or die..." Staphine gave Ron a hard look.
At this time, the surrounding human mercenaries slowly retreated.
In order not to get Dinwiddie into trouble, since he appeared, Ron has remained silent and watched coldly.
At this time, he finally discovered that the orc empire was not the paradise he imagined. Under the glamorous appearance, there was a smell of discrimination everywhere. It was the racial discrimination that had been deeply engraved in his bones...
