Chapter 1568: This Batch Of Orcs Is Even Worse Than The Batch Of Orcs Then
With a simple explanation of being terrified, Ferdinand had cla.s.sified Connie"s behavior as throwing a tantrum after she had been overly scared.
The orcs pondered after hearing that. Compared to polite and perfectly calm Ferdinand, Princess Connie"s words were indeed alarming and illogical. Furthermore, using the Urba Tribe as a comparison was even incomprehensible.
“This…”
The orcs from the all tribes who had seen the scene at the Urba Tribe themselves revealed thoughtful expressions. They would never forget that scene for the rest of their lives. It indeed didn"t look like the scene of a normal ma.s.sacre. Even a ma.s.sacre wouldn"t be so terrifying.
“Father said before that the Urba Tribe couldn"t have been ma.s.sacred by the Hairless Monk alone. Perhaps it is indeed as that little maiden said, they were bewitched by the devil?” Habeng asked softly with surprise.
“We cannot decide. Let"s ask Father after we get back.” Haga suddenly took out a photostone, and recorded Gary"s body on the platform for a moment before focusing on Ferdinand.
Did this chap really make a deal with the devil? The thing that he wanted to give me, could it be… Auster also narrowed his eyes at Ferdinand, and sunk deep in thought.
“Allow me to escort Princess Connie back to the palace for her rest.” Kurt immediately walked toward Connie as he was desperate to prove his allegiance to his new chief.
The crowd around them took a few steps back instinctively, as if they were trying to keep their distance from Connie.
Connie unfurled the b.l.o.o.d.y letter in her hands, and looked at Ferdinand furiously. “Ferdinand, are you feeling guilty? This is the b.l.o.o.d.y letter that I have found in Grandma"s room. She wanted me to stay away from you and the tribe. She had already foreseen the future of the Falk Tribe. She knew I couldn"t stop all this, so she wanted me to escape from here and from you.”
The blood had already turned brown, but from that messy handwriting, they could see how fearful the person was when she had written that b.l.o.o.d.y letter. If this really came from Madam Debbie, what would that imply?
“Princess Connie, let me bring you back to your chamber to rest. You must be exhausted.” Kurt walked to Connie smilingly, and extended his hand toward her.
“Take back your filthy hand, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” An angry roar thundered.
Kurt paled instantly, and put his arms across his body instinctively.
A giant shoe appeared right in front of his face. It stomped on the hand blocking in front of his face, and kicked his face.
Kurt"s face distorted instantly, and he was stomped into the ground with a fearful expression.
Bam!
Gravel flew around, and a giant crater appeared in the ground. Kurt"s two legs were stuck high in the air as they twitched unnaturally.
A tall and strapping orc with short hair appeared in front of Connie. He was stepping on Kurt"s head with one foot with a fearsome facial expression.
“What?!”
All of the orcs were staring at Kurt who was stomped into the ground with shock. Lord Kurt was the 10th-tier powerhouse of the Falk Tribe, and yet he was stomped into the ground so easily. What was that fellow?!
“The Hairless Monk!” Darryl exclaimed as he stared at the orc who suddenly appeared.
They just had an altercation yesterday, so of course he could recognize who he was. With fear and fury, he said to Rex, “You came to Young Master Ferdinand last night, and now the young master is already here. Why are you still hurting Kurt then?”
“Hairless Monk!”
All the orcs broke into a commotion upon hearing that. The orcs who were standing close to them immediately backed dozens of meters away from them as they stared at that short-haired orc who had his foot on Kurt.
The notoriety of the Hairless Monk had only increased in the past 100 years. He was still the number one bad guy of the Twilight Forest, an existence who could stop the children crying with his name alone.
When the entire Urba Tribe was annihilated then, the crime scene was extremely terrifying, and the culprit was this fellow right in front of them.
However, wasn"t he already captured and locked up in the Bastie Prison in Chaos City? Why was he appearing here? And why was he attacking Kurt?
Auster also stood up immediately, and yelled, “Rex! I didn"t expect you would dare to appear in the Twilight Forest again!”
All the chiefs also stood up, and looked at Rex warily with nervous expressions.
“I am her master, so tell me, why am I stepping on him?” Rex turned his gaze to Ferdinand, and solemnly said, “Debbie was right. The evil presence on you is no different from the black fog that was consolidating in the sky above the Urba Tribe that day. It came from the devil, and it was going to welcome the arrival of the devil. It would bring a devastating catastrophe to the tribe. The Urba Tribe is your example. Connie came back to save you, but you have already sold your soul to the devil. You killed your father to ascend to the throne! You forced Debbie to her death! A fellow like you should be executed!”
Was that really the devil who was exercising his evil influence? Billy looked at Rex. He had always wanted to kill Rex for the past 100 years to avenge his good friend, but now he couldn"t help wondering if it had been correct to pin the crime on Rex.
Ferdinand looked at Rex, and a hint of panic flashed through his eyes. He took two steps back instinctively, but he soon stopped himself and regained his composure. With a pained expression, he said, “Connie, why are you taking someone who is a sinner to be your master? No wonder you would say those words earlier. I don"t blame you. You must have been brainwashed by the Hairless Monk.
“If the devil really exists in this world, he must be the most terrifying one. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have annihilated the Urba Tribe. He even split open the stomach of a newborn child!”
“Yes! How dare a devil accuse the young master?!”
“Princess Connie actually addressed the Hairless Monk as her master! This is an insult to the tribe!”
The orcs from the Falk Tribe began to chime in with acknowledgement. They were looking at Rex with a hateful and fearful gaze. They were also looking at Connie with a disgusted gaze.
Almost everyone was taking Ferdinand"s side. The doubtful voice had almost completely disappeared.
“All the chiefs and powerhouses present here, I, Ferdinand, on behalf of the Falk Tribe, humbly ask all of you to subdue this evil Hairless Monk and prevent a disaster for the Falk Tribe after our power was severely impaired. We don"t want a repeat of the Urba Tribe"s tragedy. We, the Falk Tribe, will always remember your kindness!” Ferdinand loudly declared to all the chiefs and representatives with a sincere look.
All the chiefs had a hesitant expression upon hearing that.
This matter had nothing to do with them. However, since Rex the Hairless Monk had appeared, the entire orc species could no longer stay out of it.
Compared to the speech that Rex made to exonerate himself, Ferdinand"s request and explanation were obviously much more convincing.
“We, the Tadala Tribe, will support the Falk Tribe!”
“We, the Dino Tribe, will support the Falk Tribe!”
“We, the Nam Tribe, will support the Falk Tribe!”
The powerhouses from all the tribes began to come forward, and loudly declared their support.
Ferdinand curled his lips slightly. Even if the Hairless Monk was very powerful, could he really take on 10 of them?
However, Ferdinand still maintained a righteous expression, as if he was willing to sacrifice himself for his tribe anytime.
“Master… Why don"t they believe us?” Connie asked as she looked at Rex"s strong back. Tears already flowed down her reddened eyes uncontrollably.
“This is the reason why I wasn"t willing to explain back then. So many years have pa.s.sed, and this batch of orcs is even worse than the batch of orcs then.” Rex smiled. There was a hint of resignation in his smile.
