The fire in the orc camp has been extinguished, and the corpses of orcs are scattered on the ground.

The mercenaries were cleaning the battlefield. Even the leather armor from the orcs was peeled off. The corpses were piled in a pile to be burned. If they encountered those who were not dead, they would add a sword.

No one thinks it is cruel. The war between humans and orcs has lasted for nearly ten thousand years. The hatred woven into their blood makes killing a matter of course.

"Angus, how are you guys?"

"Fortunately, one of us was seriously injured and four were slightly injured. It's a pity that the female leopard escaped." The hunter who was wrapping gauze on his arm replied without raising his head.

"Forget it, I'm lucky that I didn't lose any brothers." I still feel a little scared when I think of the lioness attacking Cairns like crazy before she died.

"That female leopard is so powerful. If she catches her and gets her vagina, it will be so fucking exciting just thinking about it!" Tony, who had been missing for the whole battle, appeared out of nowhere.

"Tony, it's just you? The girl in the Nightingale Bar can't handle it and still wants to have sex with the female beast. Be careful that she cuts off your little dick."

Angus's teasing towards Tony caused the mercenaries cleaning the battlefield to burst into wild laughter.

Tony didn't care at all, with a concealable smile on his face, "Boss, we have a big harvest."

Tony said and waved his hand, and several mercenaries escorted a dozen young orcs strung together with ropes. Some of the little beasts bared their teeth and tried to resist. The mercenary whipped them until they lay on the ground, wailing.

Keynes's eyes immediately shone, "Be gentle, these little guys are worth a lot of money. If you kill one of them, you will lose at least dozens of gold coins."

Many human nobles like to keep orc guards to show off their wealth and power. Many noble women even used them as sex toys in private. As for the reason, apart from curiosity, it was naturally because orcs' toys were more majestic than those of human men.

Adult orc warriors are stubborn and irritable, and refuse to give in even if they are captured, while young orcs are easier to train and tame. Therefore, many nobles like to buy young orc slaves and train them from an early age. Once they appear on the market, they become a hot commodity that countless nobles and rich people rush to buy. The price in the slave market is second only to that of even women, and the rarer the race, the more rare the slaves are. The higher the value.

"Boss, do you think this is worth a thousand gold coins?" Tony pulled Leon, who was first in line, over.

"Oh, what a surprise. Didn't the little lion run away?" Keynes knelt down and lifted Leon's chin with one finger.

Leon's eyes were blood-red, full of hatred. It was these humans who killed his mother.

The pale golden light in Leon's hand suddenly burst out, and he broke the rope tied to his hand, and a pair of sharp claws pounced on Keynes in front of him.

But as soon as Leon moved, Keynes' big hand pinched his neck, and he couldn't move no matter how hard he struggled.

When Leon was almost strangled to death, Keynes threw him to the ground, but his face showed a trace of solemnity, "Tony, such a valuable little guy, you should tie him up tightly."

"Captain, there is another one here that is only worth one gold coin. What do you think we should do with him?" A mercenary pulled out the thin Arthur from the team.

Compared with the sought-after young orcs, useless teenage human slaves are naturally worthless.

Keynes noticed this strange boy who appeared in the orc camp during the day, and was even more incredible that he could defeat the little lion who was almost a first-order warrior.

Keynes also lifted Arthur's chin, but his movements were much gentler.

Arthur raised his head, revealing a smiling face and white teeth. Although his body was covered with mud and his hair was disheveled, his face was very clean, and his eyes were purer.

"What's your name and how old are you?"

"Captain, my name is Arthur, I am twelve years old."

Keynes was stunned, "How do you know I am the leader?"

"Isn't that what those mercenary brothers call you?"

Keynes smiled, "You are very smart, why are you in the orc camp?"

"Our village was attacked by orcs two years ago. My mother was killed by orcs, and I was taken to an orc camp and became a slave."

"You're lying!" Tony suddenly grabbed Arthur's collar and stared at him fiercely. "Orcs don't need human children as slaves. On the contrary, some orc nobles prefer to eat human children. Also, Although you are a little thinner, you are not what a slave should look like. How do you explain your leather armor?"

"Tony, you will scare him." Adeline couldn't help but stop Tony. The boy's smile seemed to have a magical power, making her believe everything the child said.

Arthur cast a grateful look at Adeline, "Don't worry, beautiful and respectful lady, he won't scare me. I have seen more ferocious orcs than this."

"The mouth is quite sweet." Tony knew that his strategy was unsuccessful and slowly let go of Arthur's collar.

"The reason why I am alive is that I still have value. The mistress hopes to find a human opponent for his son so that he can know more about his enemy." Arthur explained slowly.

"Mistress? The lioness?" Cairns asked.

Arthur lowered his head sadly, "Actually, the mistress is very good to me. If it weren't for her, I would have become food for some orcs."

Leon, who was still lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Arthur in surprise.

"Untie him, he is no longer a slave to us," Keynes shouted.

"Thank you!" Arthur bowed to Cairns, Adeline, Tony and even the mercenary who untied his rope one by one.

Keynes laughed and waved his hand, and continued to call on other mercenaries to quickly clean the battlefield, leaving nothing of value behind.

"Are you going to transport these tattered leather armors and orc weapons back?" Adeline, who had been following Keynes, couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"Ants are also meat. You can always get some gold coins when you throw them to the weapons store for recycling. Don't you know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a family? How many mouths are there waiting for me to feed you? And we made a mistake this time. Except for these little orcs, this noble camp has no place at all. Nothing of value." Adeline's complaint was met with a voluble of complaints from Keynes.

"What are you going to do with that child?" Adeline suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Let's take him back to the city first. He is indeed an interesting little guy." Keynes glanced at Arthur, who was helping to clean the battlefield. In a very short time, Arthur had integrated into the mercenaries and was helping them collect valuable things from the orcs.

Keynes may not have imagined that it was his decision out of curiosity that changed the original trajectory of the history of Wayland...
