On the ruins of the fox tribe camp, Mang was holding Mr. Fu, who had already closed his eyes, and crying bitterly.

She never imagined that after she returned with honor from Commander Mo Yue, her father had committed suicide here.

No one knew why Mr. Fu did this, not even Anjie, who was treating other fox people at the time, noticed it.

It was not until the fox people around exclaimed that Angel hurried over. However, it was too late. Mr. Fu's health had reached the bottom, and the resurrection spell had no effect on NPCs.

Even so, with a pastor of Anjie's caliber present, Mr. Fu still died in this place.

When Ye Qing arrived, Mang was already sitting alone in the tent, holding his father's body, and did not respond to anyone who came.

"Everyone wait outside for a while, it's okay, just leave it to me..."

Ye Qing whispered to his teammates, then walked into the tent carefully.

When seeing Ye Qing's figure, Mang, who had been silent just now, suddenly burst into tears. He hugged Ye Qing and burst into tears.

Perhaps because he did not expect Mang to be so excited, Ye Qing was a little stunned at first, and then he reached out and gently patted Mang on the back.

"Master Zero, my father, my father!"

Mang was so excited that she was unable to speak, and the sound of sobbing made her choke, so she could only utter a few words intermittently.

Faced with the death of his loved ones, Mang obviously couldn't accept it for a while. In addition, the whole family was in this state now, and Mang's brain was blank.

Crying is probably the best way for her to vent her emotions now.

Mr. Fu's suicide was unexpected to everyone. No one would have thought that this chief who had the ambition to lead the fox tribe to revive would die in the ruins of the camp.

The chiefs of other tribes who learned the news were also thoughtful, especially Mo Yue and Du Yan, who had helpless expressions on their faces.

It seemed that Mr. Fu’s death was both unexpected and reasonable to them.

But the death of a clan leader is a big deal after all, and the other clans are already preparing to send representatives to negotiate with Mang.

Only after Mang had cried for a long time did he take out a letter from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Ye Qing with both hands.

"This is a handwritten letter from my father. It says it's for you. I didn't dare to open it."

Mang's eyes were red at this moment. She half-knelt in front of Ye Qing, waiting for him to open the last "suicide note" left by her father.

Perhaps influenced by certain ideas, Mang was quite serious in this regard and did not dare to go against her father's "last wish" to open the letter, even though she was Mr. Fu's biological daughter.

Ye Qing looked at Mang's current condition, then looked at Mr. Fu's already cold body beside him, feeling quite complicated.

"Dear Master Zero, please forgive me for communicating with you in this way."

"The fox tribe has reached a critical juncture of life and death. At this moment when the orcs are about to revive, the fox tribe still cannot catch up with the pace of the entire orc tribe."

"We have been training in the wrong direction for many years and have made mistakes in our judgment of the situation. In addition, our already weak tribe has to support so many people. Even if the fox tribe has a chance in the future, it will be difficult for them to catch up with the other tribes."

"In this regard, I think the fox people have reached a point where they must break down before they can rebuild. Just as you humans say, all new life is built on destruction. The old fox people should go to hell with an old man like me. This is the only way to find a way for the future of the fox people."

"I hope that after I die, you can introduce the fox tribe to the empire because of the little help my daughter has given you, so that the remaining members can have a way to survive. Even if you disagree, it is understandable, and no one has the right to blame you."

At this point, Ye Qing had finished reading all of Mr. Fu's letters. After reading the contents, Ye Qing let out a long sigh.

Their guess was indeed correct. The explosion that burned the entire fox camp was caused by Mr. Fu.

But this person deliberately set up a "entrustment of an orphan to the care of others", hoping that Ye Qing would lead the fox people out of the predicament and give hope to the remaining fox people.

The destruction was so thorough that nothing was left.

Such an action naturally made Ye Qing sneer. Is Mr. Fu really not worried that he will just leave it alone?

"Master Zero...Did my father leave any words for me?"

After seeing Ye Qing finish reading the letter, Mang spoke cautiously, as if he was worried that Ye Qing would be angry.

Judging from her behavior, she probably didn't know that Mr. Fu had played such a trick, otherwise she wouldn't have cried like that in front of her father's body.

Ye Qing softened the expression on his face a little, reached out and patted Mang's shoulder.

"We'll talk about this later. First, find a way to bury your father. My companions and I will stay here to help you."

After saying that, Ye Qing stood up and walked out of the tent, signaling his teammates who were waiting outside to follow him.

This is not the place to talk. The surrounding fox people are also in a miserable state. We need to give them some time to rest.

After arriving at the woods outside the camp, Ye Qing repeated the contents of Mr. Fu's letter word for word, causing Anjie who was present to gasp.

"He's gambling his life with the future of his entire tribe. Isn't that too cruel? Isn't he afraid that Captain Ye won't help the fox people?"

It’s not that Anjie thinks Ye Qing is hard-hearted, but after getting to know him over this period of time, she has more or less understood Ye Qing’s temper.

If you want Ye Qing to help you with something, the best way is to communicate with her directly. As long as it does not cross her bottom line, this matter can be discussed.

But now, Mr. Fu not only bets the fate of the entire fox tribe on Ye Qing, he even uses his own life as a price to "force" Ye Qing to do so, trying to make Ye Qing compromise by relying on the condemnation of his conscience.

"Humph! Ridiculous. Doing this will only eliminate our own manpower. What good will it do? Isn't it just adding leverage to force Captain Ye?"

Qin Fangyue snorted coldly. She was quite disgusted with such behavior.

Because regardless of whether there was this letter or not, judging from what Mr. Fu actually did, he basically sold out his entire clan and, as the clan leader, betrayed his fellow tribesmen.

Those elite foxmen who trusted him were killed in the explosion for no apparent reason, and countless innocent foxmen were also "sacrificed".

"His choice is too radical. Even if it is an important choice for the race, doing so is tantamount to breaking the backbone of the original fox people."

After listening to Ye Qing's story, Zhao Xin also felt mixed emotions.

The fox people may not be without opportunities in the future. As long as they seize the military merits of the Hiro Empire in this war, there will always be a way to revive the race.

But now even the elite troops have died, what can the remaining women and children do?

"I'm afraid he wants the entire fox tribe to leave the orc tribe."

At this time, Zhao Manying, who had been thinking beside him, finally spoke.

She had not been able to understand why Mr. Fu would do such a thing that would harm others and not benefit himself, cutting off all his living forces and leaving only women and children. Wouldn't this mean that his family would be at the mercy of others in the future?

Especially in a society like the Orcs where the strong prey on the weak, it is almost foreseeable what the future of the Fox People will be like.

"Take away all the young and middle-aged people and the elders who can make decisions, and burn down the foundation of the fox people. This is to force the fox people to leave their homes, break away from the orc tribe, and integrate into the empire. In order to achieve this, Ye Zi is the most critical link."

Zhao Manying's face looked heavy. This was the most extreme yet most complicated "NPC" she had encountered since she started playing Divine Realm Fantasy.

Such an action is really too extreme, but in a sense it is the most effective way.

If it cannot be integrated into the empire, it might as well be destroyed.

No one knew under what circumstances Mr. Fu made such a plan, but they believed that when he lit the explosives, he would not have hesitated at all.

At this moment, the one who was suffering the most was Ye Qing.

She paced back and forth in front of everyone. She naturally took into account everything Zhao Manying said, but she just couldn't make up her mind.

To help or not to help?

At this moment, Xiaoyan, who was on guard above, suddenly made a sound.

“Captain Ye! It seems that several orcs from other tribes have come to the fox tribe camp. The situation at the scene is very complicated. What should we do?!”

Chapter 4 Fox

"The orcs from other tribes are here? They came at this time, which is considered to be giving face to Mr. Fu..."

Ye Qing sighed. It was a great honor for people from other tribes to come at this time.

Otherwise, when they learned of Mr. Fu's death, they could have simply brought people to the door and divided up the remaining members of the tribe. If they had followed the orcs' past habits, they would not have cared about the impact of whether someone died or not.

All we can say is that in the past twenty years, Mo Yue and the entire werewolf tribe have had a huge impact on the orcs.

"Let's go, let's go back and take care of this last thing."

Ye Qing made up her mind and had an idea of ​​what to do next.

"Ms. Mang, you should be able to understand that this is the rule of the entire orc tribe. We are not the only ones targeting the fox tribe."

The werewolf woman in a cloak said calmly. Her presence in front of Mang as a representative already showed the attitude of the representatives of other tribes.

The six of them are representatives of each of the other tribes, and the black cloak on their bodies means that they are responsible for "harvesting" when a tribe suffers a catastrophic disaster.

In the past, according to the beliefs of the orcs, if a tribe was about to face extinction, the Crow God would come and take away the souls of that tribe and leave their bodies to Mother Earth.

This group of people undoubtedly inherited this custom, which means that they will divide the dying tribe into other tribes and preserve the hope of survival.

"...I have no say in this."

After Mang responded with this coldly, he never spoke to the group of people again. He just knelt quietly beside his father's body.

This stubborn look made the werewolf woman feel helpless. She was just following orders and no one would be willing to do such an offensive thing.

On the surface, the people responsible for carrying out this so-called "Ceremony of the Crow" are carefully selected, but in fact they are all people from various tribes who have tried to climb up but have no chance.

Since I want a chance to move up, but I don't have the chance to risk my life, I can only do this unpleasant job.

Now according to the rules, Mr. Fu, the old chief, has died, and the position of chief will be inherited by Mang, Mr. Fu's daughter. According to tradition, the Crow Ceremony has to give two choices.

One is to disperse the remaining members and divide them into different tribes, and divide up everything that is left here including the land. The other is naturally to leave their homeland.

"Heh, it looks like the leader has failed again."

Among the people who had been waiting outside, a young man from the Tiger Tribe laughed, as if he had already expected such an outcome.

They naturally noticed the gazes of the foxes around them, and it felt like a stinging pain cutting into their skin.

But they had already gotten used to all this, and the young tiger man smiled nonchalantly, but still followed and walked to the side.

"Over the years, we have devoured more than one clan. Why are we so childish as to provoke them at this very moment?"

During the Crow Ceremony, a figure completely covered by a cloak spoke. The strange voice made it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, and the only hand that was exposed showed no signs of bestiality.

But if we count the few people whose appearance can be seen now, this person should naturally be the representative of the Winged People.

"Humph, let alone twenty years ago, even thirty or forty years ago, have we always been begging these tribes? It is not us who are going to perish, but them!"

After hearing this, the boarman representative showed a very disdainful expression on his face, and his two pairs of yellowish fangs trembled.

The black robe of the Crow Ritual draped on him looked more like a black rag.

"How stupid... It's because it has been like this for decades that the orcs have never really worked together. It's rare to find strong individuals, but they are like ants eating elephants. Have you forgotten the disastrous defeat twenty years ago?"

The members of the Minotaur tribe shook their heads and looked at the boar man with disdain, or even contempt.

It was as if the wild boar man was standing among their group of people, like an abrupt monkey, and his words were hilarious.

As he said this, the minotaur turned the rosary in his hand and seemed to be chanting something softly.

"No matter what, we have to give her enough time. After three days, even if she doesn't make any decision, it won't be her turn to make the decision."

The werewolf woman shook her head and simply sat down to rest, waiting for that moment to come in three days.

After seeing that the female werewolf had spoken, the other people stopped arguing and also sat down on the spot. This was also part of their custom.

But they never imagined that such peace would be broken by a human being.

When the curtain was lifted, Mang saw a familiar figure.

"Master Zero, please show me the way forward."

She stood up solemnly, then knelt down before Ye Qing, knocking her forehead heavily on the ground.

Mang's expression did not show the slightest emotion. On the contrary, after crying for a while, she seemed to have completely calmed down.

She seemed to have figured out a lot of things, yet was confused about many things.

The reminder of the side quest has appeared in front of Ye Qing. The reward is the maximum favorability of all fox people, and there will be no impact even if you don't accept it.

But before taking on this task, Ye Qing still had some things to clarify with Mang.

"Mang, let me tell you first, as the current leader of the fox tribe, what awaits you in the future will only be hardships beyond the past."

Ye Qing sat down in front of Mang. As a citizen of Yanxia Country, what she hated most was someone kneeling in front of her.

Once upon a time, the Yanxia country stood up straight with its own strength. The words "No kneeling" awakened countless sleeping Yanxia people. From then on, the world had an awakened lion.

Dignity lies below your knees. If you trample on your dignity so easily, how can you expect others to respect you?

"You may have to go through a lot in the future, whether you are willing or not, or even make choices that go against your conscience. Are you ready for this?"

Ye Qing seemed to see the shadow of the past Yanxia Kingdom, which was once weak and powerless, with everything in ruins.

Even though she knew it was just a game, like many people who, when enjoying literary and artistic works, cannot help but put them into their own experiences.

"I... am prepared for this."
