Chapter 250 Prisoner


Chapter 250 Prisoner

For Duanmu Huai and others, capturing this Orc lair was just a trivial matter. After eliminating the Orc soldiers here, they continued to move forward - after all, from this route, as long as they follow the path in front of them, If you continue walking on the road, you should be able to reach the Orcs' lair.

The orcs obviously didn't like people getting too close to their lairs, and they also attacked Duanmu Huai and others in groups. In addition to countless orc soldiers, these orcs even used the weapons they had tamed. of subterranean life, however, i.e. Even these extremely hard and ferocious-looking underground creatures were no match for Duanmu Huai and the others. They almost killed them all the way like chopping melons and vegetables, and almost everything that stood in front of them along the way was destroyed. They killed them all.

These ferocious orcs were no different from pigs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Duanmu Huai, and they were no threat at all.

"Who are you...?"

At this time, Kate's eyes when looking at Duanmuhuai were full of doubts and uneasiness. It could be said that these people have now become creatures that Kate cannot understand. She has no idea who these people are and where they come from.

"I told you, you don't need to know this."

Duanmuhuai suddenly swung his hammer, knocked down an underground monster like a spider, and then spoke.

"We are just doing what we should do. You either shut up or leave here. As for other things, you don't need to know and you shouldn't know. Do you understand what I mean?"

"………………"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Kate opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. They fell into an awkward silence for a while. Fortunately, at this moment, An's lively voice broke the silence. There was an awkward silence.

"Mr. Knight, Miss Feline said she felt a lot of human scent not far ahead."

"Oh? Really?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Let's go take a look."

Soon, the group continued to move forward, passed through the cave, and came to a relatively empty cave. It looked more like a prison. There were huge iron cages everywhere, and there were many things that looked like they were made of steel. coffin.

"Open these things."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he walked to a steel coffin. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled the coffin open. Then, a man in ragged clothes fell out of it. He looked at Duanmu in horror. Huai let out a scream of fear——then rolled his eyes and fainted.

"………………"

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and then looked at the others.

"It's better for you to come."

Soon, the girls stepped forward to open these coffins, and they were surprised to find that there were people in these coffins. Among them were men and women, old and young, and even some burly soldiers. Not only that, Kate also saw an acquaintance of hers among them.

"Uncle Barek? Were you caught here?"

"Ah, it's you."

Hearing someone calling his name, a middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Kate. He was the leader of the homeless team that hired Kate to protect him. At that time, the homeless team was defeated by the beasts. Kate originally thought he was dead, but she didn't expect that he would be caught here.

Looking carefully, most of the people caught here are people from the homeless team, but Kate is not familiar with them. Of course, there are a few soldiers left.

After counting the number of people, a total of more than a hundred people were rescued this time. However, according to Barek, more of them were originally captured, but they have now been taken away by the orcs, and only They were lucky enough to be left here.

"I heard that the orcs seem to be taking away the prisoners and reforming them... I can't imagine what they are going to do..."

Recalling the scene at that time, Barek was also frightened. Then he glanced at Duanmuhuai who was standing not far away and asked Kate in a low voice.

"Kate, who are they?"

"I don't know either, but they are here to destroy the orcs."

"Destroy the orcs? Come here? Just these few people??"

"Of course not, they brought thousands of people, they are all very powerful warriors..."

Before Kate could finish explaining to Barek, she saw Barek suddenly turn pale. Kate, who had already had a premonition in her heart, turned her head and saw Duanmu Huai walking towards her.

"What can I do for you?"

Even if Kate is a carefree woman, she will unconsciously become nervous in front of Duanmu Huai. There seems to be a pressure on him that makes her feel extremely frightened. In fact, Kate has been trying to cheer up, so she did not directly Kneel down before this fearsome black warrior.

However, Duanmuhuai just glanced at Kate and said calmly. "I have notified the rear to send another group of people to escort them up. Before that, these guys will be left to your management."

"Huh? Am I the only one?"

"Lorena and the others will also stay here to treat the wounded soldiers..."

However, before Duanmu Huai finished speaking, suddenly, a figure stumbled out of the crowd and threw himself in front of Duanmu Huai.

"Child, my child, please save my child...!!"

It was a woman. She was crying bitterly and begging Duanmuhuai for help. Duanmuhuai looked at her and frowned.

"Has her child also been captured by the orcs?"

"This..."

Kate wasn't sure, so she turned her questioning eyes to Barek, who shuddered and shook his head hurriedly.

"No, no, no, that's not the case! Please don't pay attention to this gentleman, she is a lunatic...!"

"Crazy?"

"Yes, her child seemed to have been killed by the orcs a long time ago. Then she went crazy and looked for her child everywhere... She also came to our tribe on her own..."
< br>

"Let Lorena show her."

Duanmuhuai nodded and spoke to Kate, who quickly expressed her understanding. Then she hurried to the woman's side and helped her up in a soft voice. After comforting her for a few words, the woman seemed to gradually calm down due to Kate's safety, and was then taken aside by Kate.

After a short stay, Duanmuhuai continued to move forward with the others, leaving only Lorena's angel team here - they were originally responsible for logistics preparations to deal with such emergencies. Events are also their responsibility.

These wanderers also found weapons from the corpses of the orcs around them and armed them. Then they gathered together, anxiously waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Kate brought the woman to Lorena and whispered about her situation.

"That's it..."

After listening to Kate's story, Lorena said softly with a hint of sadness.

"I can understand her grief for losing her child. Maybe she is still immersed in the dream and doesn't want to wake up. At least this way she can keep deceiving herself and telling herself that the child is not dead..."

"Uh...Miss Lorena, do you have any idea?"

Frankly speaking, Kate is skeptical about Lorena. On the one hand, this mental illness itself is difficult to treat, and even professional doctors may not be able to cure it. On the other hand, although in Kate's eyes, the priest lady was indeed dressed as a priest and looked like a priest, she would never forget the scene where the other party took the sacred book and slapped it on the face of the rampaging female orc... ...After all, it hasn't been long, hasn't it?

Kate was a little worried whether Lorena would directly raise the holy scripture she was holding in her hand and give this woman a "physical therapy"... Human heads are not as hard as orcs! If Lorena were to do this, this woman's head would probably bloom on the spot... Well, if that's the case, maybe she can go see her beloved daughter?

Miss Lorena can't really do this!

Fortunately, Lorena did not go directly to "physical therapy" as Kate thought. On the contrary, she just stretched out her hand, held the woman's thin hands, stared at her, and spoke softly.

"Please rest assured, the light of God is willing to shine on every kind person."

As she spoke, Lorena looked at the Good News Angel standing behind her.

"Please."

"…………"

Good News Angel is a cute girl with long flaxen hair, braids, and wearing a thin dress. Hearing Lorena's request, she nodded, and then Kate saw the girl taking out a harp from somewhere and holding it in her arms. Then she gently plucked the strings, and then... the girl spoke. Sing.

"I beg the gods to listen. I am definitely not trying to steal your power and life. All lives in the world are special existences... Because I was not chosen by fate, I beg the gods to give me hope again... …Even though I know that human beings are not kind things, I would like to bring hope to those who pray for forgiveness…………”

The girl's voice was sweet and clear, as if it penetrated the soul. Although she was singing in a language that Kate didn't understand at all, she didn't know why, just hearing this song made Kate feel an inexplicable shock.

Even the restless, nervous and panicky homeless people gradually calmed down now. They held weapons in their arms and stared at the singing girl. For a moment, they seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the world and were just immersed in the incomparable joy. In a calm and melodious atmosphere.

At this moment, they seemed to have found...the long-lost peace.
