Chapter 318 Questioning
At Lang Ce's command, he set off with the stray animals in a mighty force.
Xia Yueke and Aqi walked side by side at the innermost part of the team. The noisy footsteps and low conversations around them made the atmosphere in this wilderness even more tense.
Ah Qi's face was full of worry, and he looked at his backpack from time to time. There were only a few herbs left in it, as they had almost been used up in treating many females.
"Keke, I'm afraid the herbs I brought aren't enough. Do you want to go get some more? If they get hurt, this won't be enough."
There was a hint of unease in her voice.
Xia Yueke shook her head slightly. "Aqi, we brought you here not mainly for treatment, but to ask for your help to stop the orcs and monsters from attacking the tribe again."
Ah Qi was stunned, his face full of disbelief. "But how could they listen to me? I don't have that much ability, so why not just forget it? Besides, I..."
Her cow-like face was full of panic, and her hands were unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes.
Xia Yueke looked earnest and continued to persuade:
"Aqi, think about it, would the Warcraft really help the Orcs for no reason? Perhaps the Orcs have offered them some conditions in exchange. To prevent the Orcs from making the same mistake again, we must stop them. The reason they are winning now is only because they are attacking small tribes, and those tribes are weak and therefore defeated. If higher-level Orcs were to take action, the consequences would be disastrous."
Ah Qi was silent, struggling fiercely in her heart. After a long while, she slowly nodded, "Keke, I'll try."
The team moved forward and soon approached the orcs' stronghold.
Before they could get close, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and a group of orcs rushed out like a tide and surrounded them.
These orcs have different appearances. Some are tall and strong, with muscles bulging like steel; others are agile, with fierceness and vigilance in their eyes.
Among them, a tiger half-orc was particularly eye-catching. It was nearly two meters tall, covered in black and yellow striped hair, with taut muscles. Its head was huge, its eyes flashed orange-red, and sharp fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth.
It rushed out with heavy and powerful steps, and when it saw Lang Ce and others, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes.
"It's you again. What are you doing here? We didn't bother you at all, yet you brought us here."
The tiger orc let out a low and angry roar, the sound as deafening as a bell.
Lang Ce looked calm as he walked forward steadily, his eyes meeting the tiger orc's, and he said:
"You should think carefully about why these cunning monsters would suddenly cooperate with you. If the orcs and orcs were scheming against each other and were hostile to each other, who would benefit? What hidden agenda do they have?"
A trace of anger flashed in the tiger half-orc's eyes, and its hair stood up slightly due to its excitement. It roared angrily:
"Stop lecturing me! You have no idea how much we orcs have endured. Even if what you said is right, so what? We are happy to do it!"
Xia Yueke was a little anxious, and quickly walked out of the team, saying sincerely:
"You're overthinking it. When the time comes, the monsters will take advantage of the situation and sneak in. Maybe they want to kill all the orcs and orcs in one fell swoop."
The tiger half-orc was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly his eyes caught sight of Ah Qi, who was hidden in the crowd. He paused abruptly, his eyes full of confusion and surprise, and asked:
"How come you, a half-orc, are with these orcs?"
Ah Qi was frightened by this question, but he still mustered up his courage, walked forward quickly, and said in a slightly trembling but incomparably firm voice:
"They've been very kind to me. I think you should also consider their words. Warcraft won't help you for nothing!"
After hearing what Aqi said, the expression on the tiger half-orc's face instantly became complicated, with anger, confusion, and hesitation intertwined. It stared at Aqi closely, as if judging the truthfulness of her words.
The orcs around also began to whisper to each other, the atmosphere became increasingly tense and subtle, and a fierce conflict seemed to be about to break out at any time.
"You've been deceived by them. They can't be so kind. Are they trying to use you to make us surrender?"
The tiger half-orc's eyes were burning with confusion.
Ah Qi shook his head anxiously. "No, I really did meet some good orcs. They are really different from the people in other tribes. And I think my own tribe is not as good as this one."
Finally, one of the orcs in the crowd couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out from the Leopard Tribe. "Boss, we can't be fooled by them. The Warcraft finally agreed to help us. If we go back on our word now, and these orcs behave like before, there will be no one left to help us."
"Yes, yes, let's rescue these fellows first!"
The Warcraft not far away roared and looked at the orcs threateningly, as if to say that if they turned against them now, their life or death in the future would have nothing to do with them.
The tiger beastman was even more hesitant.
Long Xiaoyu couldn't wait any longer, he stepped forward and persuaded:
"How about this, when you orcs are no longer around, we can discuss how to accommodate the orcs. For example, we could give them a place to live, where they won't go."
Long Xiaoyu felt that if he didn't do something, these orcs would probably be fooled.
And the elders of Beast City will also be furious.
Seeing this, Lang Ce spoke again:
"Think about it, when have the Warcraft ever been truly friendly to us beasts? Their current attentiveness must be a conspiracy. If we continue to cooperate with them, once both sides are devastated, the Warcraft will be able to easily rule this land."
Lang Ce's words were powerful, and many orcs looked thoughtful after hearing them.
Xia Yueke also took advantage of the victory to pursue:
"Our Orc Tribe has never intended to exterminate you all. It's just that there has been a long-term lack of communication that has led to so many misunderstandings. If we can sit down and talk properly, we will definitely find a way to coexist peacefully."
Her voice was gentle yet powerful, and her eyes were full of sincerity.
Ah Qi also mustered up the courage and said loudly:
"During the time I've lived in this orc tribe, I've truly felt their kindness. Everyone works together and takes care of each other. There's no discrimination or fighting here. We orcs can also have this kind of life, no longer being used as weapons by monsters."
Aqi's words touched the hearts of some orcs. They began to recall the days when they were oppressed by orcs, and imagined the harmonious life that Aqi described.
