I'm not that kind of orc

The rest of the elves saluted together.

She seems to be the captain of the guard that the guards said, and from the title just now... it seems that she was once Miria's student.

"I heard that your operation is in trouble, Nia." Miriah said straight to the point.

"Yes, it's embarrassing for the teacher." The captain of the guard smiled bitterly, "Three rounds were organized, but not even a giant eagle's feather was caught. We can only temporarily evacuate the residents of several nearby villages."

Then, she shifted her gaze to me: "Ah, this is..."

"Well, I brought you the 'expert' you want."

"I have known you for a long time, Your Excellency." She smiled heartily, "It's the first time we meet, I am the captain of the guard here, Nia Efrod, and I am the person in charge here."

"You, hello..." After Miria, she chose to talk to me first, which surprised me a little.

"Mr. Miria has always praised you in letters. I have heard about your protection of elf students in the past, and your recent efforts to solve the crisis that threatened the entire Sidian. You can come forward to help us this time, Thank you very much." She bowed her head slightly to me.

"Where..." I scratched my head, and smiled with the corners of my mouth. Her enthusiastic attitude, which was completely different from the other guards, made me a little uncomfortable.

He seems to be a straightforward elf, and I have a good impression of this kind of person, regardless of race and gender.

"I've been looking forward to meeting you." When she raised her head, her eyes became a little blurred, and there seemed to be strange lights flickering in the depths of her pupils.She held her elbows in front of her chest, and touched her lower lip with her fingers, "It's just like what the teacher said, it's very tall and strong."

I suddenly felt unable to laugh.

Hey, this familiar feeling of deja vu... Is this captain of the guard the same virtue as her teacher?

Wait a minute, what kind of teacher-student relationship is it?What aspect of that "extraordinary praise" is it?

At this moment Miria suddenly coughed lightly: "Nia."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I overstepped..." The head of the guard regained his serious expression as if he had woken up, and I vaguely heard her murmur inexplicably, "Shouldn't have shot at the teacher's exclusive..."

I looked at Miriam in horror.

This guy...could have made some exclusive declaration or something?

"Ah, Her Royal Highness is here too. I would like to extend my greetings to you." The captain of the guard finally noticed Princess Alyssa and bowed to her. Then she looked at Angelica and Feilan, "And the devil To the two little heroes in the sword incident, I also thank you for making a special trip to assist."

After a circle of greetings, she looked back and forth at Miria and me: "We are initially planning to organize the next round of search and hunt tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if this arrangement will be a bit rushed for everyone?"

"The sooner the matter is resolved, the better." Miria nodded in agreement, and then looked sideways at me, as if asking for my opinion.

I also nodded: "Second."

"But it's shameful to say that the captains and I haven't come up with a plan yet." The captain of the guard scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "The last three rounds...haven't hurt the target a bit, but made the target We have added a lot of wounded here, and everyone's morale has been affected a bit."

I glanced at the map on the table. In addition to the dense markings, there seemed to be a few tentative plans written in the blank space next to it, but all of them were marked with a cross.

"That kind of creature, even us orcs living in the wild of giant beasts, will find it tricky, so don't be discouraged." I looked at the captain of the guard, "Since it's here, I will help. Let's start a battle at night meeting, I will tell you all the intelligence and tactics I know about Lei Sculpture."

"Thank you so much, the meeting will be hosted by you."

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "Then you guys start your battle meeting, I'm already very tired, I want to go down and have a rest first, can you tell me where is the place assigned to me?"

It was Feilan, she raised her hands high, not paying attention to the surprised gazes focused on her, and finished speaking the inappropriate words in a long, uncomfortable voice.

"Well, classmate Feilan... I think since you want to participate in the action, it's better to listen to this..." Princess Alyssa was the first to react, forced a smile, and tried to persuade her.

But Feilan snorted unmoved, and deliberately gave me a sideways glance: "Sorry, I'm not interested in the battle meeting hosted by the prostitute."

"Concubine, classmate Feilan?" Feilan's blatant and barbed attitude made Princess Alisa a little at a loss.

The captain of the guard seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right, and he winked at the guard who brought us over: "Take this lady."

The guard took the order and turned to Feilan: "This way please."

Seeing Feilan leave the tent without looking back, I couldn't help feeling a headache.

This guy is still angry...

If you don't listen to the words of the orcs, you will suffer in front of your eyes (2)

The next morning, the captain of the guard gathered the men selected for the operation.

"...To sum up, the students brought by Knight Miria are here to assist, and Princess Alyssa will also participate in the operation in person." The head of the guard stood in front of us, facing He counted the guards who lined up and spoke.

I glanced at the queue in front of me: there were five people in a row, the first row was warriors wearing light armor and long swords, the middle two rows were archers with hoods and cloaks carrying longbows and quiver, and the last row was only Two people, a mage wearing a robe and holding a long staff, plus the captain of the guard himself and her two deputies, and the five of us who came to assist, a total of 25 people participated in this hunt.

...And then, everyone except me is a female elf.

That's right, looking around, this guard team is actually all female soldiers.

I quietly turned my head to Miria who was beside me and asked in a low voice: "I said, teacher, is the gender imbalance in your country so severe?"

I thought that at least a man could be seen in a place like this...

"It's not as bad as you imagined." Miriya looked straight ahead, her lips moved slightly, "It's just that there are really very few young and middle-aged men nowadays. For the purpose of protecting the population, even if you think of this high-risk occupation now Restricting the number of men employed...is probably a compensation for sending only men to the battlefield in the early days of the war."

To say that it is compensation is simply a helpless move caused by the problems left over from the country's wrong decision-making... Isn't it because you elves dragged all men to death with that prejudice.

"Why, do you have any prejudice against women participating in the war?" Miriah gave me a sideways glance.

"How is it possible? It's just that the mood is a little delicate..."

"Don't shoot at other elves." She narrowed her eyes, which seemed a bit deterrent.

what else?The ghost will not shoot any of you!especially you!

"Then this one is the hero who was active in the Demonic Sword incident mentioned before, the orc Brock Bloodaxe, he is an expert in hunting giant beasts, and will participate in the operation as a tactical staff officer for this hunting."

At this time, the captain of the guard suddenly mentioned me, and I had to stand up straight and straighten my expression to meet the focused gazes, some were complicated, some were indifferent, some were suspicious, and there were very few eyes with disgust or anticipation... It can be seen that the people here have mixed opinions about me. The publicity of the incident has indeed affected some people, but obviously not all.

Looking at this group of elves with different ideas, I really wonder if there will be any accidents with this group of people.

"The tactical description distributed to everyone yesterday, the main plan was formulated by him. Now, I would like to ask him to explain in detail the points that need attention in the operation." The captain of the guard turned to me again, "Come on, Your Excellency, come here Come."

"Shall I explain?" I pointed to my face with wide eyes.

"Yes, the tactics you formulated are naturally the most suitable for you to explain to everyone."

"Ok."

I walked to the front of the guards as I said, glanced at everyone, and recalled in my heart what Igna and I, who was promoted to the first-class soldier, had said to the team members I led, and I said The first sentence: "I know that most people here may not trust me. I don't want to talk nonsense about this. I just want you to understand that it is not good for me to let the action fail. Since I promised Help, I will do my best."

The remark helped a little, and I noticed some of the guards' expressions softened.

"The tactical plan I made, as well as the key points that need attention, are based on the experience we orcs have accumulated in hunting in the Wild of Giant Beasts for a long time. I petitioned the captain of the guard to order everyone to strictly abide by it. Please note that it is an order." I emphasized word by word, "It's not a request."

"Please wait a moment." A soldier in the front row suddenly raised his hand and interrupted my speech, "Since you formulated the so-called tactics and asked us to risk our lives to strictly abide by them, will you be responsible for it? "

The atmosphere immediately became stiff, no matter in tone or wording, the female elf guard made no secret of her tit-for-tat towards me.

This obvious uproar made me feel very uncomfortable immediately.

I glanced coldly: "Sorry, with all due respect, to be bluntly speaking, with my treatment in this country, let alone my tactical mistakes, even if the failure was caused by any of your unauthorized actions, I'm afraid This pot will be buckled on my back."

"What!?" She immediately widened her eyes.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense, but I did not intend to back down.

There is nothing to compromise on in fighting and hunting. I don't have the patience to spend on the infighting within the team. To be honest, I absolutely can't bear this kind of trouble even if I volunteer to help.

"I know your elves' prejudice against us, and I know that some of you will definitely have objections to me making the plan." I looked directly into the guard's eyes, "I also know that people don't speak secretly, who doesn't Those who are willing to follow my tactics, now, right here, let's vote with a show of hands."

The female elf guard who spoke against me immediately raised her hand angrily. The guards looked at each other, and four more guards raised their hands.

...the result is quite good.

Suddenly I heard a movement from behind, turned around slightly, and saw Angelica twisting one of Feilan's arms forcefully, as if to stop her from raising her hand.

Feilan glared at her and then at me.

Damn, what are you trying to do by making a fuss...

I turned around helplessly, looked at the people raising their hands, took a deep breath from my nose, and then slowly turned to the chief of the guard: "Then, Your Excellency the chief of the guard, I ask you to allow them to withdraw from this operation."

"Eh? Your Excellency?" The captain of the guard was a little surprised.

"Hey, don't go too far!" The female elf guard who interjected angrily raised her hand and pointed at me, "Don't think that if the captain of the guard allows you to participate, you can tell us all!"

"Enough!!!" I couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a mighty roar that scared everyone into silence, "Our target is an extremely dangerous creature. I believe you have already experienced it yourself. Any escape from the plan Unauthorized actions outside of China may lead to the failure of the operation and the possibility of casualties. Even the most professional hunting team dare not guarantee that they can successfully take it down without any damage. Look at what you are like, a mess! Are you going to Are you going to deliver food to that big bird? I’m here to participate in the hunt, not to take care of the children!!!”

Oops——I realized this after I yelled. From the changes in the expressions of everyone, I clearly felt a resentment spreading among them.

The atmosphere has become a bit difficult to end...

Even if they suppressed their opinions here, it was hard to guarantee that no one would act without authorization after the hunting started.At the same time, I also noticed that the ethos of our orc and elf armies is completely different. This kind of tough speech style is common in our army, but when we get here, the contradictions will immediately come to the fore.

Based on my identity, it is difficult to restrain these elves with individual prejudices and stubbornness. It is even more difficult to form a temporary team and let each of them strictly follow our tactics.

It's still messed up, I really shouldn't have come... Looking at the angry faces, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

At this moment, a clear yet majestic voice sounded: "Everyone, please listen to me."

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to the speaker who came to me - Princess Alyssa.

Today, she put on a close-fitting skirt that is easy to move, with a simple cloak on her shoulders, her long black hair tied high and gathered into the cloak on her body, and a short bow and quiver hanging on her back, her temperament is full of Change the usual elegance and demure, look sassy and capable.

"Student Brock standing here, I have seen him stand up to protect others twice with my own eyes. Maybe some of you have doubts about the rumors, but I am willing to testify here that those things are true. In my opinion Although the race is different, he is indeed a noble and respectable person." She said calmly, and looked at everyone with surprised eyes, "If you really can't believe him, then please believe me ——In the name of Princess Saidian, I would like to guarantee with my own personality that everything he does is to ensure the smooth operation of the operation and is for the safety of everyone."

It's like melting the ice and snow under the warm sunshine.Princess Alyssa's words changed the atmosphere, and the guards who openly raised their hands against me looked at each other with loose expressions.

"Please, please believe me." The princess repeated.

After a few seconds of silence, one guard slowly lowered his raised hand, and then as if a chain reaction was triggered, the rest of the guards who opposed me also lowered their hands one by one.The guard who first opposed me lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and said nothing.

"Okay, sisters." The captain of the guard walked to the front again, clapped his hands, and stood up in time to smooth things over, "Our recent hunts ended in failure, and several people were seriously injured and are still lying down. As the commander, I cannot allow the situation to continue like this. I am the one who proposed to let this Mr. Orc formulate tactics for us, sisters, please don't embarrass me too much, okay?"

She observed the reactions of the team members, and added: "Even if you don't think about your own safety, think about your salary. Please, sisters, if this continues, the performance evaluation of our entire team will be affected. Not only will everyone’s bonuses be lost, but I may also be demoted. You have seen the captain of the guards in the southern district during the drills before. If I am transferred, maybe the female devil will take over as your captain. , think about it carefully."

This joke did succeed in completely relaxing the atmosphere, and some people laughed softly.

"It seems that there is no objection." She looked around, and then turned around, "Then, Your Excellency, continue your speech."

I nodded, and suddenly noticed Princess Alisa's gaze beside me, so I looked sideways.

She squinted and smiled at me quietly, with a bit of slyness, as if encouraging, but also as if joking, taking credit for what happened just now.

I also smiled, and then turned to the guards lined up: "Then, in order for everyone to fully understand, let me briefly explain the reason why the tactics are arranged like that..."

If you don't listen to the words of the orcs, you will suffer in front of your eyes (3)

Although there were some twists and turns, in the afternoon, we started to search for the trace of the thunder eagle as scheduled.
