Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 169
The Red Fox and Polar Bear tribe's campsite was in the south of the Golden Grassland, the low-level monster zone where Xu Jun had farmed previously. There were wererabbits and giant rats everywhere, and there used to be a small White Deer tribe living there. However, due to the change in climate in the south of the Golden Grassland, it was dry year by year and no longer suitable for the White Deer tribe, so they migrated inland to the east.
This place was a natural low-level hunting ground. After the White Deer tribe left, the Red Fox would often come here to hunt, so they were familiar with the grassland.
They built a simple campsite where the White Deer tribe used to live. Akagi told Xu Jun that it was as if they had returned to ancient times, living in barbarian leather tents!
Well, the Red Fox had developed well in recent years, mainly in terms of cultural development. Most of the towns in the north of the Golden Banner were built with wood and stone, and they followed suit. They didn't remember that their tribe couldn't even live in tents hundreds of years ago. Back then, the Red Fox was weak and few in number, so they could only use hay to make huts.
Although Chi Ji said that the ruffian's tent was a savage's thing, she seemed to be very happy living there. For a little girl with her personality, even war or disaster couldn't make her depressed for a long time. It was a good thing that she could always find something new to make her happy.
Xu Jun and the others had to walk more than ten kilometers to reach the orc campsite, so they all got on their mounts.
These mounts all had their own unique features (Jess was the most ordinary of them all), and Laurel's giant lizard also made Akagi click her tongue in wonder. "How much meat does it eat in a day?"
A mage's magic carpet wasn't easy to carry, and Crimson Ji was naturally more afraid of giant wolf-shaped magical beasts. Everyone else, including the two Holy Knights, had brought mounts that were fast but couldn't bear too much weight. In the end, Crimson Ji could only choose … Miss Laurel's giant lizard.
Xu Jun saw that Laurel had been looking at Akagi with disdain along the way and felt that she would definitely reject Akagi.
He was not so narcissistic as to think that Laurel 'liked' him. To be honest, he still did not understand how they could have fallen in love with each other after just two quests. Laurel did not like the Akagi, probably because the cold big sister rogue and the lively little sister did not get along. She whispered to Jess, "Dear, if the big sister rogue rejects the Akagi, you can let her ride it."
As soon as he finished speaking, under Jess's disdainful gaze, Xu Jun watched as Laurel pulled Akagi onto the lizard's back. "Sit tight."
Akagi was about 1.5 meters tall, slightly shorter than the average girl. Sitting in front of Miss Laurel, who was about 1.7 meters tall, she was as obedient as a little doll.
When the two girls with completely different styles got along, it was not as bad as Xu Jun thought.
Jamben shook his head and leaned over to stare at Xu Jun as if he was looking at something rare. "Aiyo, I say, a hero like you who has a family and a house is different from a single dog like me. Why are you even more insensible than I am? Of course Laurel was willing to carry Akagi. If she didn't, then someone else would have to carry Akagi."
Jamben clicked his tongue after he finished speaking.
Xu Jun was confused. He thought that girls' friendship was so f * cking magical. He was such a stupid straight man.
A stupid guy like him would never be able to understand it.
Although everyone thought that the temporary alliance of the Red Fox Tribe, White Bear Tribe, and the other orcs and humans would not be able to go far and would definitely have internal strife, they did not expect that when they followed Chi Ji's guidance to the vicinity of the camp, they would see flames soaring into the sky and a mess.
"What are you doing!
Akagi!
Are you going to violate the oath you made in front of His Majesty the Beast God? "
Xu Jun was quite familiar with this voice. It was Xiong Jie of the Polar Bear tribe, Xiong Na's younger brother. He was the Polar Bear thief who fought in the fighting competition.
The Akagi he spoke of was a tall, lame orc. He was actually from the Red Leopard tribe, which was rarely seen in the north. There was a bandit emblem on his back.
Akagi was lame, but his speed was not slow. He circled around Xiong Na, looking for an opportunity to attack, and cursed loudly, "I didn't f * cking forget!
I think you guys forgot!
Just for a few lowly humans!!! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a hole appeared in the ground under his feet from a spell. "Clean your mouth!"
Xu Jun and the others only then noticed that this was a large-scale battle. There were humans and orcs from different races. Everyone seemed to be angry, but it seemed that there were no casualties.
It's good that there are no casualties … Xu Jun heaved a sigh of relief and asked Jess to step forward.
"Can everyone quiet down first before we speak?
We are reinforcements sent by the Golden Banner from the south. We would like to ask for advice on how to expel the Serpentis. "
Xiong Na, Xiong Jie and the warriors that the Red Fox Tribe had sent to the battlefield were not surprised to see him. Instead, there was a Red Fox man whose hair was messy like a bird's nest and whose eye sockets were beaten black. He cried as he ran over, "Wu wu wu, Chi Ji!"
Akagi also jumped down from the lizard and into the man's arms, "Brother!
I only left for two days, what happened to us! "
Her elder brother slapped her on the head and said, "Are you stupid or what?
Why did you run away for no reason? What do you mean it's only been two days … Everyone has been looking for you like crazy!
Idiot! "
Great, she even learned the dialect of the southern merchants in a short time.
Why else would the Red Fox be said to be smart and capable of learning.
Although he blamed Akagi for not going home and bringing a lot of trouble to the tribe, the current chief of the Red Fox knew that now was not the time to hold her responsible.
Akagi's return made many people quiet down. A few members of the Orc Bandit Group and the Human Bandit Group heaved a sigh of relief. But when they turned to look at Xu Jun and the others, they were secretly worried: This group of people is so strong, if they also join in …
The leader of the Human Bandit Group was suddenly happy and snorted at the leader of the Beast Bandit Group beside him.
The chief of the Polar Bear tribe and the chief of the Red Fox tribe first settled Xu Jun and the others in their "meeting room". Although it was called a meeting room, it was actually an oversized tent. Then, they explained the current situation to them in detail.
It turned out that it was just as Xu Jun and the others thought. Although a few tribes were tied together because of external forces, they were not convinced of each other's strength. After a long time, friction was inevitable.
There were more Orcs than humans here. Most of the Orcs were more loyal, so when they fought, it would be a group fight.
The Human Bandit Group was called the Black Vanguard Group. Their leader was very good at sneak attacks, so there were many scouts in the group. On the Orcs' side, their beasts were strong. The Red Fox had brought more than half of the beasts cultivated by the Polar Bear tribe. The three Orc Bandit Groups were even stronger and good at fighting with force. Therefore, the task of probing the Serpentis had always been given to the Human Bandit Group, while the Orc Bandit Group and the Red Fox tribe of the Polar Bear tribe did the fighting.
There were few direct battles, so the humans got fewer spoils of war. The Orcs had more chances to fight, but the casualties were inevitably higher.
After a long time, both sides felt that the other side had the advantage. The leader of the Orc Solar Bandit Group, Zalón, pointed at the leader of the Human Bandit Group and called him a "coward". The leader of the Black Flag Bandit Group could not help but fight with Zalón. There was no winner, but it left a foreshadowing of conflicts later.
However, the real trigger was Akagi's disappearance.
Akagi was only 16 years old this year. She was the successor of the Shaman of the Red Fox. She knew witchcraft and herbology.
Although she looked innocent and cute, she had been learning from the Red Fox Shaman for three to four years. In the past two years, she had been able to independently host the annual Beast God Worshipping Convention. Her ability was impeccable.
However, perhaps because she had almost been abducted in the past, so she was protected too tightly. Later on, she learned witchcraft from the Shaman and did not have the opportunity to see the sinister side of human nature. Akagi's character was like a child, and she was easily deceived.
This time, the tribes were facing a disaster. After escaping, Akagi's brother and sister, the Red Fox Shaman, and the others were busy arranging various matters. The protection of Akagi was not as thorough as before. As a result, two days ago, Akagi left the camp and never came back.
At first, everyone laughed and said that children had bad temperament and must have gone to play in the surrounding areas. However, she did not come back during lunch, and she did not come back at night.
Half of the Red Fox people went out to look for Akagi, but they could not find her at all.
At that time, they panicked. However, at that time, they found a strip of cloth with the words "Red Fox Clan … young female orc … for sale" written on it. It was the same as the strip of cloth they found on the leader of the bandit group when they found that someone wanted to kidnap Chi Ji. Even the words were the same.
The Red Fox chief's eyes turned red.
After that, they first found a small scout with a huge scar on his face in the Black Front Bandit Group. He was actually a member of the bandit group that had abducted Akagi. They also found out that there were people from that bandit group in the Orc Sun Bandits, and they were the higher-ups of that bandit group.
It was actually a relatively normal thing that there were humans in the Orc bandit group.
Although a bandit group was not like a caravan, they still needed people who could write and calculate. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before the bandit group disbanded.
Most of the Orcs were careless. Their fighting power was strong, but they did not know how to manage and develop. Therefore, as long as the bandit group was not hostile to humans, they would "hire" a few humans.
That bandit group was disbanded by Xu Jun and the Red Fox, but not all the people in it died. They went their separate ways, and it was common for them to be accepted by other bandit groups.
Usually, no one would investigate this matter, but now that Akagi was missing, it was a big deal.
The leader of the Sun Bandits, Zalón, was also an unlucky guy. He had long forgotten that there were people from another bandit group in the bandit group. He even pointed at the leader of the Black Front Bandit Group and said, "You humans still have evil intentions!"
After that, several forces and races were suspicious of each other. Originally, when this kind of thing happened, the Red Fox chief would mediate. The Red Fox had a sharp tongue and was good at coaxing people.
Now that things had turned out like this, the Red Fox chief watched coldly from the sidelines. The Polar Bear chief was not good with words. He wanted to stop the fight, but he was also involved in it. The verbal dispute escalated to a group fight.
When Xu Jun and the others arrived, they had already been fighting for one or two hours. Fortunately, no one was killed.
The Red Fox chief tried to be strict and asked Akagi, "Tell me, where did you go!!!"
The author has something to say: After this matter is settled, it's time to deal with the Serpentis!
I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
