Chapter 2 (2/2)
“Centurion Luke Estaban, fro after serving five years at Fort Potellan Kueeek Did I ?”
Luke’s face contorted with ferocity
“damn… It looks like Hal couldn’t keep a quiet mouth”
“Kueeek, correct He was cooperative e dragged hie We didn’t even have to hit him once”
“Stupid fool, did he think that Orcs would keep him alive if he cooperated?”
Luke stared coldly at Kurotan
“He is probably a cold corpse by now Orcs don’t keep useless prisoners”
Orcs were not even entertained by the concept of prisoners Thea blacksmith to maintain their rusty weapons, but they killed almost everybody else Kurotan scowled and answered
“The human remains alive”
“It can’t possibly be because you value him as a cook?”
“I will tell you of his uses later Kueeek But first, I will tell you so”
Luke cal heart
What Kurotan said next, however, Luke could not have guessed at all
“The Latilla Tribe faces extermination”
Luke had not even known that the Orcs hiding out in the Eastern es were called the Latilla Tribe Why would an Orc reveal the perils of his Tribe to a human centurion? Luke couldn’t hide his surprise when he asked,
“Wh-Why are you telling me that?”
“Kueeek Be quiet and listen The reason my tribe faces extermination is because orshi+p Maal, the God of war and battle
Maal was the God of war and battle Although not cost the hu different froe
“It is coe that Orcs worshi+p Katia, the Goddess of revenge”
“Most Orcs worshi+p Katia Only our Latilla areatness of Maal We are chosen ast Orcs…”
Luke cut Kurotan off with a snort
“I don’t care what kind of God you worshi+p Be it Katia or Maal, it makes no difference to me”
He couldn’t coh, and asked
“Why do you say that your tribe is in danger of extermination?”
Kurotan’s explanation was simple
When the Latilla Tribe had been forcibly pushed back to the Eastern do
“Orcs are s, huh?”
Luke said, s Kurotan’s eyes lit up violently
“Kueeek, Hu an enormous amount of patience to converse with you”
Luke quieted doare that Kurotan’s behavior had been unbelievably civil for an Orc
“Our tribe sent our fe with a large amount of supplies that they had demanded”
Afterwards, only the elite warriors of the Latilla Tribe escaped to the Eastern es
“I see That hy you Orcs have been so persistent and dangerous”
“The reason we have been pillaging your Earldoh supplies to send to the Pushan Tribe”
Luke remained still at the truth, which, do when tortured
‘Orcs don’t respond to torture Even the most brutal of tortures don’t illicit a twitch of an eyebrow from their entire race’
The only way to open an Orc’s h Circle It was easier said than done
A e was expensive to hire as it is, but evenOrc that could speak the tongue of Humans
‘Orcs even have high immunity to poisons They have always been hard to capture alive’
Luke stared at Kurotan It was hard to guess what Kurotan’s intentions were by kidnapping Luke and revealing tribal secrets
“Why is your tribe in danger of exter?”
Kurotan’s eyes lit aflae
“The despicable Pushan Tribe betrayed us”
“Betrayed?”
Betrayal is your specialty! Luke barely held back fro out loud
“All right Kurotan, how did the Pushan Tribe betray you?”
“They raised an army of warriors to ambush the Orcs we evacuated They ”
Luke tilted his head in puzzlement
Fro Orcs was a welcome prospect He just didn’t understand why the Pushan Tribe did so
“It’s st tribal warfare, the fe are left alone”
“It has been that way, yes That is why the Pushan Tribe’s betrayal is so despicable”
Perhaps it was because they worshi+ped Maal, the God of battle, that the warriors of the Latilla Tribe were especially valiant, even ast the warrior like race of Orcs
The Orc warriors of Latilla had been able to pillage enordo
This was vieith hatred by the Pushan Tribe, who had always suffered froh birth rates
The food supplies that the Latilla Tribe had supplied the Pushan Tribe with had not been enough to satiate their hunger
Luke clicked his tongue in disbelief
“Jealousy is not unique to humans”
“Kueeek, honorable warriors do not break their pro of us in the first place to place our trust in the Pushan orshi+p an evil God like Katia”
Regardless if it was Latilla or Pushan, Luke did not see any difference but he held his tongue
‘It’s a critical chance to find out about the secrets of the Orcs Perhaps I could escape with their secrets, so I should listen while he is telling ly’
