Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Farewell to the past, only belongs to Gal...
Amo arranged for the injured to rest in a room with four people.
The young beastman who recognized Angus did not enter the lounge. He was sitting on a pink stool that did not match his image at all, with his hands nervously placed on his knees.
"Angus, are you really a general of the Oaks Empire?" Gal covered his head with a headache.
He had foreseen that this orc, with whom he had accidentally become entangled, had once had an extraordinary status.
But Gal didn't expect that the opponent was actually a general.
Angus looks more mature than the younger orcs, but he looks to be in his thirties at most.
A general of this age?
Even Aiden, a female insect with such a rich resume, only reached the rank of major. Angus either has a strong background or is a guy who is hundreds of times stronger than the female insect.
"There is nothing to hide. Yes, I was once the general of the Lion Army of the Fifth Legion of the Oaks Empire, Angus Evan."
Angus is extremely brave on the battlefield, and his personality is like that of the lion, the king of the grassland, fearless.
"Why do you know me?"
In order to ensure the safety of the military and themselves, commanders above the rank of general in the Oaks Empire rarely appear in public.
Their photos are confidential in their country, and Angus mostly performs special missions. Except for work requirements, he rarely appears in front of orcs other than his personal guards.
Angus took a close look at the young man sitting on the stool. He had colorful feathers on his arms and was a typical bird-like beastman.
He searched his mind for memories of this guy, but to no avail.
The young orc saluted the general he admired in the military style of the Oaks Empire, "General Evan, I..."
The young man had just begun to speak when his idol interrupted him, "Don't call me Evan. From now on, I'm just Angus."
"Yes, General Angus."
The chestnut-haired boy's cheeks flushed slightly, and his eyes sparkled. "Reporting to General Angus, my name is Anke, and I am a student who has just graduated from the military academy for one year. I bumped into you in the cafeteria of the Fifth Army, and you even talked to me at that time."
It was only after his reminder that Angus remembered.
He used to be a typical workaholic. When he was not on a combat mission, he rarely chose the military cafeteria where the food tasted better. Most of the time, he used nutritional supplements for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
He only stepped into the cafeteria last year when the quartermaster of the Fifth Army Corps asked him to discuss something there.
It was at that time that a young man holding a book bumped into him on the head. The lion warrior beside him mistook it for an enemy attack and almost killed the reckless young orc on the spot.
"It's you? Aren't you a clerk?"
Angus remembered the young man's self-introduction at that time. He was a logistics civilian soldier in the Fifth Army.
"Reporting to the general, I have completed the breakthrough and reached the 8th level of talent. My boss thinks I shouldn't waste time in the logistics department and transferred me to the intelligence department."
"I ran into some trouble during an operation to steal military information from the Zerg. Although I killed one of their lieutenants, the mission failed."
"I was secretly sent to the Star Prison in the capital by the higher-level insect race. Later, I was somehow incorporated into the slave team of the male insects."
Not all beastmen are strong, there are also civilians who have almost no fighting ability.
The orcs of the Oaks Empire have an average lifespan of 400 years. They end their cub stage at the age of 50 and complete their metamorphosis between the ages of 100 and 150. During this period, they will have their first breakthrough in talent level.
This breakthrough often lays the foundation for their work, achievements, status, etc. for the next hundred years. The orc talent level is divided into ten levels according to the strength of their ability. The higher the level, the more they can exert their orc form abilities.
Birds are good at flying and are agile, so they are often deployed into combat as scouts or intelligence officers.
"General, how come you are on this planet? Could it be..." Anko's gaze gradually shifted to the male insect holding a water cup.
When Anko was forced to leave the Oaks Empire, Angus was still alive, so he didn't know why his respected general appeared on the male insect's battleship like him.
Anko did not dare to try to think about the reason why General Angus appeared here. He was afraid that he would not be able to accept the falling of the brightest sun in his life.
"I am a warrior. I will end my life before the enemy captures me." Angus's expression was not serious, but his words made people feel his firm belief.
It seems that this blond beastman who suddenly appeared on the deserted planet is more resistant to what happened in his former hometown.
The lion was a fearless warrior, and Gal was sure that if he continued to ask, Angus would reveal the parts of his past that he had tried to hide.
But Gal's education taught him that no matter what his current position is, he should respect the wishes of others.
As the atmosphere became increasingly tense, the young beastman was still immersed in the excitement of meeting his idol in a foreign country and did not notice the blond beastman's growing negative mood.
Gal held a luxurious golden cup inlaid with colorful gems, and like a dissolute young man, he stood between the two tall and strong orcs.
"Anke, please don't tell anyone on the battleship about the conversation that took place in this room today. I believe Angus doesn't want his affairs to be spread around by others."
The male insect's delicate and beautiful face was less than a finger's distance away from Angko, and the young orc blushed at the ambiguous distance.
"Of course, this is the general's privacy, I won't spread it around." Angko raised his head and tried his best not to look at the male insect.
Angus was not in a very good mood when he mentioned the memory he didn't want to recall, but this was not enough to make a strong man like Angus unable to calm down.
Angus couldn't explain the rage that kept overflowing from his heart, and the blood in his body was boiling.
"Oh, boy, why is your face so red?" Gal couldn't help teasing the innocent and cute orc named Anko in front of him.
The male insect actually turned a little towards the young beastman right under his nose.
From Angus's perspective, the male insect took the initiative to crawl into the young beastman's arms.
It was like an invader stepping into the lion king's territory right in front of him. It was a challenge to the lion, and his anger immediately rushed to his head.
Angus grabbed the male insect by the collar and lifted him from the young beastman to his side like a chick.
"What's wrong?" Gal looked at the blond orc in confusion.
The scent of roses on the male insect soothed Angus's restless heart.
"Orcs don't like being stuck too closely to others. Don't do that next time." Angus made up an unconvincing reason.
Because his heart was in turmoil at the moment.
The damn contract unknowingly changed the importance of the male insect in his heart.
This was clearly a stranger from a different race whom he had just met, but now he had become more important than his own life.
Sometimes he overprotected the males without thinking twice; it was just a knee-jerk reaction.
Moreover, this subtle change seemed to be only for him and did not seem to have any effect on the male insects.
The abnormal social system of the higher insect races should not be underestimated.
Slave contracts and mental restraints were indeed something that only a species with abnormal thinking like the higher insect race could come up with.
