Chapter 1789 The Hero Begins to Scold (There Are So Many Troublesome Things)

As an orc, Colt lives a life like other orcs.

Every day he goes to the pasture to graze and work, and then returns home. His son will rush over to hug him with a smile, and his wife will prepare hot meals for him.

This kind of life is peaceful and even a little boring, but Colt enjoys it. It always thinks that this kind of life may continue - until today.

“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”

There were continuous low noises in the distance, and Colt hurried towards home. He didn't know what happened, he only saw fire in the town, and then everyone was in a panic. Colt was also worried about his family, so after driving the livestock back, he hurried towards home.

When Colt finally got back to his home, his heart sank. He saw that the door of his home had been kicked open and hung crookedly. This made him feel extremely uneasy, and at this moment, a loud noise came from inside.

"boom!"

Hearing the sound, Colt trembled all over and rushed into the house. Then, he saw a scene that made him extremely angry.

In the living room, a huge humanoid monster wearing black armor was standing there. In front of it, his wife had already fallen to the ground against the wall. Most of her body was blown apart, and her head was only connected by a piece of flesh and blood cervical vertebrae. Next to it, his child was crying and holding his mother's arm tightly.

"Mom! Mom! Mom!"

However, even though his child was crying so hard, the steel monster was not moved at all. It raised the smoking gun in its hand and aimed at the child beside it.

"No---!!"

Seeing this, Colt screamed loudly and raised his hands in despair, but fortunately, it was too late.

"boom!"

The explosives spun and drilled into the child's tiny head, twisting and exploding its cute furry face into a pile of minced meat. The child fell forward without a word, lying next to his mother's body.

"You murderer!!!"

At this moment, Colt's eyes were bloodshot, he roared, stretched out his claws, and rushed towards the steel monster.

But all it received was a single gunshot.

In the last moment before Colt lost consciousness, all he heard was a cold voice.

"The aliens have been eliminated."

The battle didn't last long.

The orcs were no match for the Inquisition, most of them were killed, and some were captured half-dead. The Night Sentinels also rescued the humans who were held captive by the orcs as slaves and pets, and brought them to the square.

However, these humans did not escape the joy of life. They looked around in fear, not knowing what had happened. Listarte saw this scene and did not know what to do. As a goddess, she should go up to comfort these humans and tell them that everything was over and they were free. But Duanmu Huai stared at her coldly, making Listarte dare not move a step.

After everyone was brought to the square, Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and then he saw several Night Guards driving a group of seriously injured orcs stumbling over from the other side. They were also confused and at a loss. For a moment, the scene seemed quite strange. Whether it was the orcs or humans, they seemed to have no idea what was going on. They didn't know whether to react.

Kurokawa Akane was equally puzzled. She quietly approached Mary, who was still taking notes, and asked in a low voice.

"Miss Mary, what are you doing?"

"…………………"

Hearing Kurokawa Akane's question, Mary paused, looked at the notebook in her hand again, and a complex thought flashed in her eyes.

"I think... Mr. Duanmu should be judging whether they are still qualified to be human beings."

What does it mean to be qualified to be a human being?

Before Kurokawa Akane could understand what Mary meant, Duanmu Huai spoke.

"Listen carefully, I only have one order now, go kill them."

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and pointed at the orcs who were escorted by the Night Guards. Most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. They looked unarmed and had difficulty standing because they were seriously injured. Some of the orcs had even fallen to the ground, breathing out but not in.

“…………………??”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the crowd was in an uproar, but Duanmu Huai didn't seem to want to explain, just stared at them coldly. After a while, a thin young man came out, his body was covered with whip marks. But this thin young man didn't care, he walked up to the orcs and stared at them intently.

Then a moment later, the young man picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at the orc in front of him.

"Bang." The stone was very small and the young man's strength was very weak. The stone hit the orc's head and didn't even make it move.

But this seemed to be a signal. Soon, several people came out from the crowd, picked up stones and threw them at the orcs. The body that originally looked extremely thin, now burst out with unprecedented strength. Gradually, most people joined in, and stones rained down on the orcs' heads and bodies. The orcs had no ability to resist at this moment, and could only hold their heads, whimpering and wailing, and curled up on the ground.

But this did not stop people. On the contrary, more and more stones were thrown. Finally, one of them roared, rushed to the group of orcs lying on the ground with stones in his hands, raised the stones high, and smashed them hard on the orcs' heads!

"Boom!!"

Blood splashed out, and it was like a flame that completely ignited the others. They no longer just stood back and watched, but rushed forward one after another. Some people took stones, and those who didn't had stones used their fists, nails and teeth to bite and beat the orcs. They didn't let go of even the orcs who were only the size of children. They worked together to press the orcs to the ground, and then raised stones and smashed their heads hard again and again. Watching the young orc cry, twitch, and then stop breathing.

But this made them even more excited.

"Ugh...ah..."

"Ah—help, help—!"

"No, please, don't kill me..."

The whole square turned into a hell, and Kurokawa Akane was stunned. Just now, she felt that these enslaved people were very pitiful. But now, she saw that those people seemed to have transformed into the most ferocious beasts, using all their strength to kill those orcs. She couldn't even tell who was the real beast.

“I’ve heard that before.”

Mary watched this scene without stopping the quill in her hand.

"If you lose your humanity, you lose a lot; if you lose your animality, you lose everything. Now it seems that this sentence still makes sense."

"........."

Kurokawa Akane sighed silently and glanced at Listadai not far away. The goddess was standing there blankly with a very complicated expression.

This is also normal. Just now, these people were a group of "perfect victims". They were enslaved by the orcs, raised like livestock, sold, and even killed. But now, they are no less brutal than the orcs who enslaved them, just as cruel, bloody, and violent.

No one spoke. Duanmu Huai just sat there, and the Night Guards just watched, watching those people tearing apart one orc after another with an almost selfless and violent attitude. When they got their hands on the orcs, they even grabbed the orcs' hands and feet, shouting "one, two, three" and tearing them apart, as if they were doing some enthusiastic work!

A crazy show, totally crazy.

Lisi Da Dai felt that she couldn't breathe. She wanted to say something, to stop all this. In Lisi Da Dai's opinion, these people should be treated, and then their wounded hearts should be comforted, so that they can walk out of this painful memory. Instead of being like this now... They shouldn't be like this!

But Listarte couldn't do it, because Duanmu Huai's gaze was so cold, as if he was looking at a dead person. Listarte knew that if she dared to take a step because of emotional impulse, he might have someone shoot her the next moment.

I don’t know how long it was before everything was over. The orcs’ wailing disappeared and the humans, covered in blood, stood among the orcs’ corpses, gasping for breath. Their expressions were dazed, as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they didn’t even know what to do.

Only then did Duanmu Huai stand up and walk in front of the group of people.

“You guys did a great job.”

Duanmu Huai's voice was cold and calm, but it attracted the attention of those people. They all raised their heads and looked at Duanmu Huai in front of them.

"But this is not over yet. Are you willing to be enslaved by these lowly, dirty, filthy people and then be slaughtered like livestock?"

Some raised their heads and clenched their fists. Some lowered their heads and sobbed quietly. Some looked around anxiously and asked their own questions.

"But, but...what can we do?"

He looked up and asked his question.

"The hero was killed, the country was destroyed, there is nothing we can do..."

"At least you can die!"

Duanmu Huai suddenly raised his voice, interrupting the man's self-pity. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the corpses of the orcs in front of him.

"You can choose to die gloriously in battle, and then kill one filthy alien after another before you die! This is your greatest contribution to mankind! What? Without the heroes, you don't know how to fight? Remember, life is your weapon, you can't be afraid to use it! At least, this is more meaningful and valuable than being slaughtered like livestock and then eaten dead!"

"…………………"

No one spoke. Everyone just stared at Duanmu Huai blankly. Duanmu Huai also stared at them and snorted coldly after a moment.

"Those who are willing to fight can stay, and the rest can go. If you don't leave, I will put all of you into the death squad and send you to the next battle against the orcs."
