Chapter 1790 This Brave Man Prepares Dinner (The Rise of Ronin is a bit interesting)

Although Duanmu Huai's tone was very serious, those humans made their choice after hesitating for a moment. One third of them stayed, and the remaining two thirds left the dilapidated town.

"Give them some food, and get them armed."

Duanmu Huai gave the order, and soon the Star Army took these people away. At this time, Listarte came over and gently pulled Duanmu Huai's sleeve.

"Are you really going to let them fight? I took a look and they are not fit for fighting."

"you?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at Listarte and obviously didn't take her words to heart.

"What do you think?"

"I saw it with my eyes!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's sarcastic question, Listarte spoke angrily.

"We gods have a kind of identification magic that can clearly see other people's attribute values, such as..."

Listarte pointed at one of the women, then stared at her for a moment, took out a piece of paper and wrote down her attributes to Duanmu Huai.

To put it simply, it is similar to the attribute values ​​of game characters, including the opponent's personality and special skills.

"You may not be able to see or understand clearly, but the attack power of each of the orcs you killed before was over 30,000! The attack power of these people is less than 1,000. It would be a suicide act to let them fight the orcs!"

Listarte waved her hands and tried desperately to persuade Duanmu Huai, but Duanmu Huai just glanced at the paper with lack of interest and then turned his head away.

"It's really boring stuff."

"How can you say it's boring? This is..."

"I said boring, and it means boring."

Duanmu Huai interrupted Listarte's protest.

"Why? Just because their fighting power is low, they don't have to fight? You mean, since their fighting power is so low, they should not resist those orcs and just be their slaves?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"That's what you mean."

Duanmu Huai's expression turned cold and gloomy. He stared at Listarte with disdain in his eyes.

"It's not the first time that humans have fought against beings stronger than themselves. Haven't humans defeated those huge beasts? Even whales in the ocean are no match for them. Are humans faster than leopards? Or are they stronger than bears? According to your statement, since humans are no match for these beasts, should they just lie down and be eaten like pigs?"

"…………"

"Humanity can stand here and rule the world, relying not only on combat power! Stupid idiot! Human wisdom, will and determination are the most important! What's wrong with low combat power? You can't beat an adult orc, but can't you kill a baby? You can't fight them head-on, but can't you set fire or poison them? Who told you that humans have to be like those stupid beasts and can only fight them head-on?"

Having said this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"So, you don't understand the power of humanity at all. The things you care about are just trivial details that are not worth mentioning. Humans are a powerful race that will drag the entire galaxy to their grave once their own survival is threatened. Remember this, you idiot goddess."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai didn't even look at Listarte again, and turned away. Listarte stood there blankly, saying nothing, looking lost. Seeing this scene, Kurokawa Akane felt a little sorry and wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, Mary next to her put away her notebook, patted her shoulder, and shook her head.

“This is not something we should be concerned about.”

"……………All right."

Kurokawa Akane hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then followed Mary in the direction where Duanmu Huai had left. But even so, she still had some doubts in her heart.

"Miss Mary, Mr. Duanmu said..."

“It’s all true.”

"Huh? Really?"

"Well, Mr. Duanmu and I have been to many worlds together. Among those worlds, there are also worlds like this one that are occupied by aliens and where humans are on the verge of collapse. But even in such a world where there is no hope at all, those humans will still try their best to survive. Even if they are facing an enemy that is countless times stronger than them, they have never lost faith and hope."

At this point, Mary hesitated.

"Ms. Chiyin, perhaps you can't believe it, but... humans are a more greedy race than you think."

"greedy?"

"That's right. They are greedy to survive and to make further progress. No matter what kind of danger they encounter, they will not give up, let alone despair. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, they will try their best. Even if many people are sacrificed for this, as long as there are seeds left, they believe that everything can be restored to its original state. I think this is the tenacity of human beings."

"…………………"

Kurokawa Akane also fell into deep thought. Mary's words reminded her of the giant dragon world she had traveled through with Duanmu Huai. At that time, giant dragons were rampant in that world, and humans seemed to be on the verge of destruction. Even dragon hunters could only use melee weapons such as silver swords to fight those huge monsters that could even spit fire and ice.

The number of dragons far outnumbered humans, but even in that situation, people did not give up in the face of the dragons' attacks, but resisted to the end. When they arrived at the world two thousand years later, the giant dragons that once ravaged the world had completely disappeared without a trace, becoming creatures in myths and legends. Although Duanmu Huai caused considerable damage to the Dragon God at that time, it was obvious that the dragons in that world at that time were not only the ones they encountered.

However, two thousand years later, all those dragons became extinct.

That victory was achieved through repeated battles by dragon hunters holding silver swords.

Thinking of this, Kurokawa Akane felt that he seemed to understand what Duanmu Huai meant.

but……………

Kurokawa Akane turned her head and looked at Listarte, who still had a distraught expression. As a senior actress, Kurokawa Akane seemed to understand her thoughts. This goddess has always guided the heroes to defeat and destroy the devil. Perhaps in her opinion, this chessboard rule of king vs king, general vs general, and soldier vs soldier is the normal battle mode.

But Duanmu Huai obviously didn't think so.

"By the way, I don't think those who leave will survive until tomorrow morning."

Mary changed the subject.

"is it?"

"Well, this continent is very dangerous, and Mr. Duanmu did it on purpose just now."

"them………"

“I think they’re aware of that.”

Mary sighed. As a girl whose main job is a writer, she and Kurokawa Akane have some common sensibility.

"They just want to take a gamble. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the orcs will definitely discover everything here and then attack us. And Mr. Duanmu also said that if they stay, they will be incorporated into the death squad. They are very afraid of the orcs and probably have never thought of fighting them. In their view, fighting the orcs will only lead to death. But as long as they leave here and hide in those caves, they may still have a chance to survive."

Kurokawa Akane didn't say anything either.

After all... all this was too shocking for her.

However, Kurokawa Akane soon discovered that even more shocking things were yet to come.

First is food.

Duanmu Huai naturally had an inventory, and brought a lot of food, but he obviously would not share the food with those people. At most, he would let Mary and Kurokawa Akane eat some, because the Night Guards were all spirits and did not need to eat. The only edible things in this dilapidated town were some fruits and roasted human limbs.

To be honest, when Mary saw the human limbs hung on iron hooks and being dried and smoked, her face became much uglier, and Kurokawa Akane even rushed out to find a place to vomit.

But Duanmu Huai obviously didn't care about it. Since there was nothing to eat, then...

"Chop up those orcs and stew them."

"Eat, eat orcs?"

It must be said that Listarte has followed Duanmu Huai for some time, but she still cannot accept such...that kind of order.

"That's an orc."

"Isn't it just an animal becoming a spirit? What's the problem?"

Duanmu Huai really had no psychological burden at all. After all, in the world of Journey to the West, he just walked and ate as he went, eating the black bear monster, the green bull monster, the carp monster and the like along the way.

Of course, he doesn't eat things like scorpions and centipedes.

In Duanmu Huai's opinion, the orcs in this world are similar to the goblins and monsters in Journey to the West who shouted "My king, my king, it's bad, the hairy-mouthed thunder god is hitting me."

There is no psychological burden when eating.

"Oh, and considering their stomachs are not very good, let's get some cubs. Find a few young orc corpses, remove the hair, blanch them in boiling water, and then roast them directly over the fire and sprinkle some seasonings on them. It's just like roasting a suckling pig, it's not that difficult."

"Wow————!"

At this moment, Listarte couldn't help but covered her mouth and rushed out, and Duanmu Huai naturally didn't even look at this goddess.

"By the way, we also need to tell them that after today's meal, if they want to eat something fresh next time, they can eat what they kill themselves. They can eat as many orcs as they kill."

Mary sighed as she took notes silently.

I am afraid that this book will be criticized again after it is published.

But fortunately, it’s not too much this time, and it’s not too little this time... She has gotten used to it.

I played Ronin Rise and it felt like the Japanese version of Heroes of Heroes, which was quite interesting.
