When Xu Lai led the knights in the fifth round of charge, more and more peons appeared behind him.
At this time, the orc town had already lost any resistance, and not even an orc taller than a wheel could be found.
In the city, there are corpses all over the ground, blood stains everywhere, and occasionally you can see some scorch marks.
This is an orc who is not willing to accept his home being occupied by humans, and is so angry that he sets fire to the city.
Unfortunately, because it is close to the quarry, the buildings in the entire city are made of stone.
This makes the orcs' houses stronger and more durable, and Xu Lai can't do anything to them even if he hides in the house for a while.
However, this also prevented the flames they ignited from spreading.
When thousands of hard workers all poured into the town, Xu Lai knew that the overall situation had been decided, and it didn't matter even if there were still some orcs hiding in the house.
Putting on the equipment found on the corpses of the orcs on the ground, these peons turned into high-level warriors.
Half-orcs, who are similar to humans, are the best source of equipment.
They have more iron armor than ordinary orcs, and the throwing axes they use can be used as one-handed axes by humans.
The entire town is similar to a human town. Except that the houses are taller and there are not many decorations and green plants, they are basically built to imitate human towns.
Human construction craftsmanship is already the best in the entire world. Compared with the gorgeousness of elves and the pragmatism of dwarves, humans are the only race that can perfectly combine practicality and appreciation.
The orcs themselves don’t have much creative ability, but their imitation ability is pretty good.
Humans can take over the entire town and move in directly.
They are doing the same thing now. Several elected leaders are organizing door-to-door searches.
Move out the property and food when you find them, and kill the orcs when you find them. The efficiency is many times higher than that of Xu Lai and others.
During this period, the wolf-headed and lizard-man people also sent representatives to look for Xu Lai. They hoped to settle down in the town.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Lai quickly gave the answer, allowing them to occupy the largest position in the town.
There is no doubt that in the wilderness, humans and all other races are weak races.
Since Xu Lai didn't want to take these humans with him and couldn't bear to watch them die, of course he had to help as much as he could.
Although the status of the giant werewolf and the lizardman in the fortress is not high, they have a neutral relationship with humans and are not hostile.
And lizardmen have the blood of petrified lizards. After the level 3 lizardman warrior advances, he will awaken a petrifying ray similar to Medusa.
The giant werewolf is the advanced form of the wolf-headed man, with higher physical fitness. The third-level strong werewolf and the fourth-level werewolf king are both species with strong hand-to-hand combat capabilities.
One human shield, one long-range, as long as you eat and drink normally, find a way to make some weapons, and rely on the town's original defense facilities, it will be no problem to hold on for a while.
As for the food, just the few dead Kodo beasts are enough to feed the thousands of people here for a day or two. Plus the food in the towns and mines and the large number of big-eared monsters, it will be enough for a month or two. You shouldn't have to worry too much.
In a month or two, humans will surely be able to master the technology of growing big-eared monsters.
Besides, the orcs must have regained the town in a month or two. It makes no sense for Xu Lai to think about it in the long term now.
The purpose of taking in giant werewolves and lizardmen is to find allies for humans.
There is really no need for those cavemen to crowd into towns.
Xu Lai drove them back to the mine. Once they arrived, they were only adapted to life in the cave.
Secondly, these cavemen are destined to be miners wherever they go, even in their own underground cities.
So, Xu Lai was worried that the orcs hadn't attacked yet, so they dug a tunnel to the orcs' house and surrendered.
Thirdly, are cavemen, humans and elves hating each other, and are they getting together to engage in internal strife?
The reason why I didn’t just kill these cavemen was that, firstly, I couldn’t gain any experience or benefit, and secondly, I also had an extra place to create more trouble for the orcs and the people at the foot of the mountain. Town warning.
After completing these trivial matters, Xu Lai still had to face the problem he least wanted to face.
Fortunately, everyone is in high spirits at the moment and no one is thinking about their future life.
No one talked about that painful topic, but let Xu Lai deal with the wealth looted from the orcs' homes and the captured orcs first.
Most of the orcs were killed directly by them, especially the ogres.
In the ogre town, at this moment, there is no complete ogre to be found. This shows how resentful these peons are towards the ogre.
Most of those held in front of Xu Lai were female orcs and orc children.
Even those who hate these orcs extremely cannot bear to kill these defenseless women and children.
Xu Lai doesn't care. Raising a tiger will cause trouble, letting the tiger return to the mountain, and cutting the weeds to eradicate the roots. I don't know how many times I have been taught this principle by novels and TV shows.
They couldn't bear it, and Xu Lai didn't mind helping. He could also give his trainee knights more experience.
He waved his hand, and Tahan immediately understood and led the trainee knights over to take these orcs aside.
Most of these orcs also knew their future fate. Miraculously, few orcs cried and no one begged for mercy.
The few orcs begging for mercy attracted Xu Lai's attention. What's even more amazing is that two of the orcs have no female characteristics on their bodies, and they are obviously male orcs.
Seeing this, a human representative named Harris stepped forward and explained: "These people said they were heroes and that they were once human beings."
Xu Lai was stunned for a moment, then looked intently.
The two orcs begging for mercy both had dark green skin, their fangs were exposed, and their muscles were as bulging as stones.
However, no matter how similar their appearance was to the orcs, Xu Lai looked into their eyes and saw that they were different from the orcs in the past.
In the past, even when the orcs were escaping, their eyes would not move like they do now.
These two guys didn’t even dare to look at Xu Lai, their eyes were wandering, and they could say anything. They wanted to scold the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the orcs for Xu Lai to see. .
Orcs are very typical ancestor worshipers. They will even make part of their ancestors' corpses into totems after their death and keep them forever.
Obviously, these orcs cannot be real orcs at all.
"You said you are heroes, but what is your escape route?"
"It has been used before." One person replied.
The other person said in horror: "You, how do you know? Even some orc chiefs don't know we have this prop on us."
Xu Lai smiled slightly and took out the item from his backpack. He took out the prop engraved with the orc totem, which was the escape route that these two people had used before.
The two of them fell to the ground. Although they didn't know where this prop came from, no one would be willing to hand over this life-saving gadget.
The two of them gave up hope of survival, but Xu Lai hesitated instead. Xu Lai would not feel too much about killing orcs or even indigenous humans.
Xu Lai still couldn't bear to kill someone who came from the same place as him and had no deep hatred.
Of course, it was impossible for him to let them go, so he asked Harris to find a room to lock them in. Xu Lai even arranged for two paladins to keep an eye on them.
“Ask someone to see if anyone knows these two guys. Since they live in this town, they must be from the nearby mine.”
Xu Lai has already found out that there is of course more than one stone mine near this town, and there is also a large mercury refining room not far away. Xu Lai will make a trip there later.
Harris asked in confusion: "Sir, what purpose do you have with them?"
Xu Lai bit his lip and finally said: "I want to know what they have done. What happened, and then I knew how to deal with them."
After all, Xu Lai still couldn't make up his mind, so he found a reason for himself to take action.
But in fact, everyone's living environment is different. Since they were born as orcs, they may suffer discrimination in the orc circle even if they are just friendly to humans.
Therefore, as long as you can find people who know them, you can definitely find the bad things they have done.
However, like Xu Lai, people may not regard orcs and humans as their own, and they may deal with them quite casually.
However, such a reason is not enough for Xu Lai to release them.
And they didn’t have anything like a ransom to ask Xu Lai to spare them.
In the end, even if he releases these two people, they may not be grateful to Xu Lai, and they may be more active in trying to kill him later, because Xu Lai has offended them.
Therefore, Xu Lai had already made up his mind when he was looking for someone.
Finding someone to confirm the crime is nothing more than giving yourself psychological comfort and making yourself feel better.
He didn't even say that he was also a hero from heaven. He probably had already made up his mind when he asked the question just now.
“Don’t worry, Sir, the supervisors in the mines take turns to take their days off, and businessmen often bring guards to the mines. Since they live nearby, I will definitely be able to find someone who knows them.”
< br>Xu Lai nodded and said no more, but asked:
"How's it going? Is everyone settled in?"
Harris nodded and said: "I have sent people back to report the news. The remaining humans will all migrate to the town under the escort of Sir Elvi. Life.
We have also found many good things from the town, just waiting for you to accept them. "
Hearing this, Xu Lai felt much better. Ogre Town may be one of the few wealthy cities in this wild land.
When he was dealing with the prisoners just now, Xu Lai saw big boxes being carried out one after another. He must have been able to collect a lot of wealth in this trip.
"Those big-eared monsters, you should discuss with the wolf-headed people, and everyone should divide them according to their heads.
Don't be in a hurry to eat. This thing is shelf-stable. If you want to eat, you should first eat those monsters. Let’s take care of the kodo beast.
While this thing is fresh, we probably haven’t had meat for a long time. Let’s have a big meal today. ”
This is the meat of the kodo beast. One of the few delicacies in the wilderness, it is said to taste better than beef.
Even high-ranking officials such as the orc chiefs and guard generals can only cook food after the kodo beasts die of old age and illness.
Whenever this happens, the aroma of cooking kodos will flow out of the town and spread all over the mountains and plains, arousing the greed of many people. (End of this chapter)
