Chapter 12. Orc Attack(2/2)
"Then what should we do with this little kid we caught?"
Popolon pointed at the human child tied up with canes. This human seemed to be able to become a warrior in a few years...that is, the "threat" in the future.
"Oh? This..."
Nursha walked up to the human and sniffed it with his sensitive nose. The smell of excrement made him frown. It was obvious that the man had been frightened to the point of incontinence. Seeing Nursha’s huge and ferocious body
The wolf's head came close to him, and the half-grown child couldn't help but scream in fear, but he could only choke because his mouth was sealed.
"Haha! What a poor little guy."
Nursa was very satisfied with this human's reaction. Popolun also came to him and asked: "How to deal with him, Master Nursa?"
"Just like we met before, do as you like, Popollen."
"Thank you, sir."
Popolun grabbed the cane, followed by two wolf-headed men. He dragged the prisoner who was struggling like a worm and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
Nursha turned around, wiped his bone-handled waist knife, and whistled, and the wolf-headed men who had been hiding in the shadows began to appear one after another.
The eyes of these wild hunters were filled with bloodlust and greed, and they knew that their leader was finally going to take them to do what they had been patiently doing for a long time.
"Let's go! Start the 'hunt'!"
Difenni Village, conference room.
"Everyone, I summoned you here urgently. Something big has happened."
The mayor of Dundee sat at the head of the village with a cane. The long conference table made up of several old square tables was already crowded with people.
Because they were in a hurry and not enough chairs were prepared, many people still stood. However, most of the people attending the meeting were young and strong men, and only a few were elderly people who were quite prestigious in the village.
"What on earth is going on that requires us to be summoned?"
A sturdy man sitting on a chair was the first to ask. This question was not only what this man wanted to ask, but also the doubts of everyone present.
"Come out... don't be afraid, kid, no one will hurt you here."
The mayor of Dundee knocked on the floor with his cane, and a woman came out from the cubicle with a child.
The woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried loudly, while the child was still twitching and crying.
"Jack!?"
The adults below naturally recognized the two people. The child was Jack, and the woman was Jack's mother. Jack, a well-known troublemaker in the village, had always caused them trouble.
"This... village chief, what happened?"
At first glance, it seems that this troublemaker has caused trouble again. It should be a family matter of Jack's family, but if it is just such a trivial matter, how can it be brought to the village meeting?
"This child met an orc in the back mountain."
The village chief Dundee originally wanted Jack to explain the situation in person, but looking at the way he looked now, it was obvious that he could not even speak half a sentence, so he had to explain himself.
"To be precise, he just escaped from the orcs."
"What?"
"Orcs, oh my God!"
"How could it be possible? There are orcs. Those guys shouldn't be here!"
…
People talked a lot, the conference room was noisy, and finally a unified voice was born:
"Village Chief, could it be that this bastard Jack lied to us?"
As one person asked the question, others responded and expressed their agreement.
"Yes, village chief, how can that boy Jack's words be trusted?"
"Jack said last time that he didn't know from the prophet that there would be a big flood in the village next to ours! What happened? The rivers were all dry and I didn't see the flood coming. It was so bad that I harvested the wheat early and lost a lot of money.
Pen."
"Yes, yes, and what happened last time..."
Questions kept coming, and the adults began to dig up Jack's old scores. Obviously, the weight of Jack's words in their eyes was not as low as usual.
"No...no..."
The voice was very small at first, and people ignored it. They then criticized Jack's daily behavior and seemed to enjoy it.
"No! I, I didn't lie!"
But in the end, the sound became louder and louder, and then turned into a roar, silencing the entire audience.
"I'm not lying! I went to the back mountain with Blainey today to dig out the beehives, and then we met those monsters!"
The owner of the voice was roaring and choking, suppressing the doubtful voices of everyone present.
"Since yesterday, have any of the people who went to the back mountain come back?! We saw them...their bodies...and then we ran away all the way. I finally escaped back."
Jack blushed and yelled at everyone with his hoarse voice, making those people shut up.
"I...escaped back..."
Jack repeated these words, his eyes lifeless. As if he had exhausted all his strength just now, he fell to his knees on the ground. His mother quickly hugged him, but she couldn't help crying.
"What about Blaney and the others?"
Someone asked carefully.
"No more..."
Jack fell into his mother's arms, his voice hoarse and weak.
"He didn't escape...because I..."
