The orcs admire the strong, and although they have extremely strong prejudices against humans, when a human shows strength to a certain level, this prejudice is not impossible to change.
The orcs' honesty prevented them from going back to deny their failure, and they would not make meaningless denials of the strong. Yu Huan relied on her strength to defeat the strongest of the strongest races among the orcs in just one day. In fact, at that moment, although she was a human, she had already been recognized by all the orcs.
Of course, it is obviously too early to regard him as a true messenger of God. After all, many people find it difficult to accept that the messenger of God of the Orcs is actually a human being.
Apart from this, another thing that is difficult to accept is probably... the prophet!
To be precise, it was Hu Churou who should have been the prophet.
After extensive investigations, it became clear that many orcs knew why Hu Churou had given up her position as a prophet and chosen to leave, and even gave up her position as the leader of the fox tribe... Of course, this was without outsiders knowing that it was because of Fox Butterfly's interference. This has always been a mystery to many orc elites, especially those who grew up with Hu Churou.
However, this doubt has now been answered: Hu Churou actually admitted without hesitation the fact that Yu Huan was her master, and directly stated that her purpose of becoming a prophet was to serve the other party and regard the other party as equal to a god.
Of course, Yuhuan is a goddess and the creator of Hu Churou, so it is not surprising that this situation would occur, but you have to know that the orcs don’t know it.
A saint, even a future prophet, arguably the most noble being in the entire orc tribe except for the Beast King who has not yet made a decision, her purpose is just to serve a human being. Even if the other party is really a messenger of God, this obviously makes countless orcs feel unacceptable.
Among them, there are a few people who are particularly noteworthy: Baiquan, the chief of the White Lion Clan; Dinghua, the chief of the Red Crane Clan; Chiyuan, the chief of the White Tiger Clan; Zichuan, the chief of the Bauhinia Snake Clan; and Lishan, the chief of the Barbarian Ant Clan.
There are five of them in total, and they are the strongest among the Orcs in the true sense. They are also the only five races among the Orcs that are independent of the Orc system and are directly loyal to the Prophet.
The five chiefs among them can be said to be the strongest of the orcs, and also the strongest guardian force of the Great Forest Prophet. Together with the last fox tribe, they have served the Prophet for generations and contributed everything to him.
At the same time, these five people are also Hu Churou's childhood sweethearts, partners who grew up together. They studied under the prophet together with Hu Churou, who was also the young patriarch of the fox clan. They can be said to be like brothers.
Originally, for these five people, the cooperation between Yuhuan and the Prophet, even the various conditions agreed upon between the Prophet and Yuhuan, and this challenge competition, were all things that the five races themselves had no intention of participating in under the concept of loyalty. This was also the reason why none of the five major races appeared in the first day of the competition.
However, when they learned Hu Churou's true thoughts from someone... no, a fox, and learned that the relationship between Hu Churou and Yu Huan was not "cooperation" but "subordinate" relationship, it was obvious that no matter what the reason for this matter was, the patriarchs of the five races were instantly furious.
Although the competition was supposed to last for three days, with ten matches each day, the result was actually enough to be seen from the first day's competition: the ten strongest people from the Orcs who had been selected through competition had been defeated one after another, not to mention Hu Churou, Sang and Xia Yu from the other three sides. In fact, the last two days were dispensable.
Even the prophet at this time was ready to compromise.
But at this moment, a letter of challenge was delivered from the prophet's location to Yu Huan and the others. The challenger was naturally not the prophet, but the chiefs of the five major races. In the letter of challenge, several people also clearly stated that regardless of the match, the orcs had already admitted defeat. The only requirement was...
"My only request... is to free the former Fox Clan leader, the Orc Saint Fox Churou. Emmm~~ What do you think of this?"
The daytime competition didn't seem to have any impact on him. While chewing on the carrot in his hand, Yu Huan smiled and handed the letter of challenge to Hu Chu Rou beside him. Looking at the other person's expressionless face, he teased:
"I still think you call me Master because I used some unknown method to enslave you, and now I'm trying every possible way to rescue you. These should be... your childhood friends, right?"
The teasing voice fell into Hu Churou's ears, but the girl's expression did not change at all. Instead, she silently formed the tactics in her hand, then raised her head and slowly looked at Yu Huan and asked:
"Master, do you need me to refuse?"
These simple and clear words might have caused the anger of the five people if someone else had refused. After all, this represented Yu Huan's unwillingness to let the person go, and it also proved that she was indeed "enslaving" Hu Churou.
However, if the person who refused was Hu Churou, then she must have a way to make these five people believe that their behavior was 100% voluntary, and if they insisted on taking Hu Churou away from Yu Huan, it would not only be meddling in other people's business, but they would also be prepared to become Hu Churou's complete enemy.
This is undoubtedly the best solution at the moment, but Yu Huan shook his head decisively:
"No, that won't be fun anytime soon!"
The answer without thinking was instantly met with a similarly flattering voice from the side:
"Ah woo~~"
Although I don’t know what my sister is talking about, things that are not fun are obviously not good at all, so I just agree with it.
"The problem is that we are not playing here~~"
On the contrary, Xia Yu on the side held his forehead helplessly and complained helplessly, but Yu Huan pretended not to hear and continued:
"Don't they want to 'rescue' you? Come on then! The heroes who wish to rescue the princess must let the Demon King carefully assess their qualifications!"
The words full of middle school second-year atmosphere made people suspect that Huan would inherit some of her personality traits. This was a real and undoubted thing. And on the other side, Sang, who was in harmony with Yu Huan, also raised his hands:
"Ahh (Agree)~~~"
"Crack~~~"
The four hands clapped together and the two of them smiled at the same time.
"So...why do you feel like we're the villains when you say this?"
Xia Yu once again started complaining... So, what on earth have you learned from those girls during these days of connecting with Xia Miao? Your complaining skills are gradually improving!
After a light complaint, this time it was no longer as if no one paid any attention to him. Instead, he was instantly stared at by three people including Yu Huan, Sang and Hu Churou, which made Xia Yu feel like his hair stood on end.
"Why are you...looking at me like that?"
Some puzzled eyes looked at the three people, but it was Yu Huan who answered:
"No, I'm just curious..."
After considering his words for a moment, Yu Huan immediately spread his hands and asked:
"As a demon king who destroys time and space, and now a force that opposes the entire world (alliance), and with the terrorist organization Mirror Organization as an ally, so... when did you get the illusion that we weren't villains?"
"Uh……"
It makes sense, I'm speechless!
For a moment, Xia Yu was choked by Yu Huan and was speechless. After a long moment of distorted expression, he finally gave a tentative answer:
"But aren't you a goddess? And Sakura... As the gods of creation, is it really okay for you to call yourself villains?"
Isn't God a symbol of light? He's the creator of everything in the world, so he should be a decent character, no matter how you think about it.
however……
"Ah~~ Well~ You see, Shirogane's wish is simply to revive the goddess, to retrieve everything she once bestowed upon the world, and then 'fill' it with the goddess's very existence. This is actually a natural thing to do. We prevented this and even stole the divine power (Yuhuan) and godhead (Ying) needed for the goddess's resurrection... Which of these actions are 'righteous'?"
"..."
Well, do you have such a deep sense of yourself as a villain (demon king)?!
Yu Huan had said so much that Xia Yu couldn't find any reason to refute it for a moment. After a careful analysis, he found that it seemed that... was it really like this?
So after all this time, we're not the saviors who save the world, but the villains who keep preventing others from realizing their wishes?!
To be honest, this conclusion undoubtedly scared Xia Yu.
74. Guardian Clan
Xia Yu was speechless for a moment after hearing this set of villain theories. In the end, he silently chose to be autistic and accept his identity as a "villain" and a subordinate of the devil.
On the other side, after eliminating the only girl who might be able to prevent this interesting thing, the two sisters (Yuhuan and Sang) plus a clone (Huan) who was also hit by the Twenty Foot immediately dragged the other two systems (Ying) and the shrine maiden (Hu Churou) who had no idea what rejection was and began to plan the challenge for the next day.
After all the planning, based on Hu Churou's understanding of the five people, there is only one conclusion that can be obtained, and that is the only focus: Yu Huan's side!
"Although Baiquan, Dinghua, and Lishan are the three clan leaders, they have had a close relationship since childhood. They even teamed up for several training sessions. Over the years, they have even developed a set of combined attack techniques. Of course, since the battle is one-on-one, this doesn't need to be considered too much. However, as the three strongest among the five, they are very likely to challenge the master."
This meant that at least these three people would definitely be Yu Huan's opponents, and as for the other two: Chi Yuan and Zi Chuan...
"Although he's from the White Tiger Clan, Chi Yuan is an outlier among the Orcs: a wise man, his main expertise lies in the application of various magics and the formulation of tactics. As for Zi Chuan, he has basically no ability to face direct combat, and his most terrifying skill is... poison!"
The Bauhinia Snake is the leader of all poisonous creatures in the forest, and Zichuan, the patriarch of the Bauhinia Snake clan, is the best among them. He can perfectly combine his own magic power with toxins, using a terrifying existence called "poison magic".
Although the orcs are also a race that possesses magic, in fact, compared to magic, what they are best at is actually their strong bodies. In this case, they were able to become one of the five strongest races of the orcs and become the patriarch of one of them simply by using magic and poison. This shows how powerful the two are.
Logically speaking, if such an opponent were to challenge Yu Huan, even she would be in trouble. However, when she said this, Hu Churou suddenly changed the subject and looked at Sang and Xia Yu, who was still in a state of isolation, and said:
"If my inference is correct, these two people... should choose to challenge Sang and Xia Yu."
"Ugh?"
"Uh-huh?"
This sentence made Sang and Xia Yu look at Hu Churou at the same time. Hu Churou paused for a moment before explaining:
"The conditions of the competition are that the four of us fight for three separate days, with no one losing in more than ten matches each day. It's not uncommon for the three strongest to challenge the master, but this doesn't stop them from preparing a second plan for victory."
There is no doubt that Yu Huan is powerful. Although the orcs may not be able to fully feel this, a mishap is something that everyone can prevent, especially Chi Yuan, who is known as a "wise man". Therefore, he will definitely not choose to challenge Yu Huan and end up in complete defeat.
Zichuan's situation was even simpler: not to mention that Yuhuan's entire body was tightly wrapped in armor in the transformed state, if Yuhuan directly used the mysterious Undead Queen mode that she used on the first day to deal with the leader of the Spiral Horn Tribe, then for Zichuan, it would undoubtedly be a 100% restraint.
After all, the undead are dead, so they are definitely not afraid of poison. Zichuan is not sure that her poison can corrode the soul. Therefore, if Yuhuan directly summons the undead to deal with her, then she is almost doomed to fail.
In view of this, Zichuan and Chi Yuan will definitely not choose Yu Huan as their opponent, and according to Chi Yuan's arrangement, the two will most likely set their sights on two others besides Hu Churou: Sang and Xia Yu.
Needless to say, Sang's reckless fighting style, whether using poison or magic to "fly a kite", seems to be a good method according to analysis, while Xia Yu's is even simpler.
In the previous series of competitions, Xia Yu's performance was obviously mediocre. Because she had not "transformed", others saw her as just a former young leader of the cat clan who was lucky enough to be on the side of Hu Churou (Yu Huan).
Even though they 'barely' defeated their opponents on the first day of competition, they were still clearly not strong enough in front of the strongest of the Orcs.
And although cats are known for their natural sensitivity, can sensitivity outweigh poison? Add to that their already amazing sense of smell, and the possibility of poisoning might be even greater.
With this idea in mind, it was obvious in Chi Yuan's calculations that Xia Yu would become the biggest breakthrough for victory.
The three strongest men challenged Yu Huan openly according to the contents of the challenge letter. It would be good if they could win and rescue Hu Churou in a fair manner. Even if they failed, it would undoubtedly be a good result if Chi Yuan and Zi Chuan defeated the other two and won the game.
"..."
Based on his understanding of the three people, he roughly analyzed the basic plan that Chi Yuan could formulate. The only uncertainty at the moment was who between Chi Yuan and Zichuan would attack Sang and Xia Yu respectively. However, after Hu Churou finished speaking, he did not have any further thoughts on the matter. He did not even say what the few people were good at or what their weaknesses were.
It’s not because she doesn’t know, nor is it because she doesn’t want to tell you out of consideration for their childhood friendship, but... there’s no need!
Yes, there is no need, because even after Hu Churou finished saying this, the reactions of the people in front of her were like this:
Yuhuan had already called Ying out in boredom, and happily played a little game of hugging and kissing with her. Sang on the side finally gave up listening to Hu Churou's words after looking at her for several times, and squeezed in to share Yuhuan's arms with Ying.
On the other side, Xia Yu had already started to take out the transformation device as usual to "communicate with his sister", but he was only a hazy figure behind Yu Huan. Huan listened carefully to the various analyses made by Hu Churou... but what was the use?
"I guess I won't be able to appear tomorrow~~~"
She is obviously very self-aware on this point. After all, her original "middle school emotions" have obviously been aroused by this situation. In this case, Yu Huan will naturally appear in person to deal with the three people in tomorrow's game. Maybe she may have plans to appear again after that, but for some reason, Huan, with some mysterious premonition, knows that she will definitely not be able to play tomorrow.
"..."
After silently telling everyone she knew, Hu Churou didn't feel angry because of the absent-mindedness of the people in front of her. She was quiet in character and just said what she had to say. She didn't care whether Yu Huan and the others listened or not. She took out a book and started reading quietly.
For a moment, it was obvious that the girls in the small living room were all doing their own things, and it seemed that they were minding their own business. However, the atmosphere was not at all awkward, and could even be described as warm.
While Yuhuan was doting on Sang and Ying in her arms, Xia Yu would come up to her from time to time, talk to her through Xia Miao's gaze, and ask for a pat on the head. Although this made Xia Yu a little embarrassed, she obviously couldn't say anything since her sister liked her.
Although Fox Churou was reading a book on the side, she had stretched out her two long fluffy tails without realizing it. They became the base for Yuhuan and the others to lie on like a soft cushion. While Yuhuan and the others were making a fuss on it, the occasional casual stroking of her fur would make the girl's calm eyes flash with a hint of enjoyment from time to time.
On a quiet night with a sparse moon and stars, the five girls interacted with each other in a harmonious and intimate manner in this huge hotel. After having dinner together, they went back to their rooms to rest, and the day passed quietly.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the villa, following the owner's habit of staying in bed, Hu Churou deliberately protested to the prophet that the game was too early, so the game was postponed to the morning. Therefore, it was not until Yu Huan, who was the last one to come out of the room in a daze, holding the equally dazed Sang, that they walked happily towards the arena after having breakfast.
It looked as if they were not going to participate in a competition, but rather going on an outing, without any sense of nervousness at all.
At the same time, on the high platform of the Orc competition stage, the prophet sitting in the main seat had already taken her place, and the five figures below her had already stood there, looking at her with respect.
In this scene, the prophet spoke for a while:
"Today's game...are you really going to do this?"
With a questioning tone, more like making a final confirmation, the five people immediately looked at each other. The man in the lead, who looked no different from a human, but had white hair and extremely pale skin, stood up, lowered his head and apologized:
"Sorry, Prophet. This decision was made due to our own willfulness, but please rest assured... With all our might, we will surely bring back victory!"
And Chu Rou...I must save her from suffering!
The young woman didn't say the rest of the sentence, but after all, they were the ones she had raised since childhood, so how could she not see what they were thinking? She couldn't help but sigh slightly and said:
"Since this is your decision, I won't say anything more. After all, you represent the strongest fighting force of our Orcs. If even you are no match for her, then the result will be the same no matter what. So... just go for it!"
Deep down, she also wanted to win. After all, in a sense, this was an unusual game between her and Yu Huan.
The essence of winning or losing is not important, and the content of the transaction is not important. What is important is that this game is related to... how much say Yu Huan can have among the orcs in the future.
75. Five people
The second day of the competition, the arena.
Yu Huan and others arrived leisurely after breakfast, and there were already many orcs waiting here, including the prophet.
Normally, making so many people wait together would be a big deal, not to mention the orcs who already have bad tempers, even anyone else would be furious. However, the scene today was unusually quiet.
This was not only because even the most revered prophet of the Orcs was waiting quietly without any complaints, but also because of the five figures standing next to the prophet.
There were four men and one woman, and since they looked young, those who didn't know them might have mistaken them for descendants of some tribe. However, there was actually no one around these five people, not even any tribe leader with some seniority who dared to show any "elderly" attitude towards them.
They are the patriarchs of five of the six most powerful races of the Orcs, and together with the Prophet's lineage, they just form the strongest hexagonal position of the Orcs.
Among the orcs, the division of the strong has always been two-fold. On the one hand, there are the strong among the simple ethnic groups, etc. Dividing the forces and territories according to strength can be said to be the norm in the forest. In the game the day before, the one who appeared first and lost to Yu Huan and others was undoubtedly the strongest among these forces.
On the other hand, there are the six tribes above it. They are the real top tribes of the orcs. The foundation of their strength can even be said to have surpassed the strength of all the orcs in the next level.
Among these six tribes, the fox tribe, which is descended from the prophet, is of course the most important. In addition to being cared for by the prophet, they also possess powerful magic and extraordinary wisdom. In addition, most of the prophets in history came from the fox tribe, which is why they became famous.
