Hail the King Chapter 998: Are These Really For Us? Part One

Chapter 998: Are These Really for Us? (Part One)

Fei heaved a sigh of relief.

Since the orcs were willing to follow him back to Chambord City, it meant that they weren't hostile toward humans; this was a great sign. In this chaotic world, no one wanted to make a powerful tribe into their enemy. One more ally was equal to one more opportunity to extend and pa.s.s down the bloodline.

The orcs got ready to move, and they started to pack up.

Now, Fei got a chance to observe this simple campsite.

It was clear that the orcs were used to the tough lifestyle of camping in the wilderness; their standard of living wasn't that high. In this campsite, except for a few simple tents, the most eye-catching thing was a thick pillar that had some mysterious runes engraved onto it. It emitted a type of mystical power, enveloping the entire campsite.

At this moment, Fei realized that in the last half an hour or so, no demon beasts appeared around the campsite, and the poisonous bugs and mosquitos that were everywhere in the forest weren't seen here either. It should be due to the power of this mysterious-patterned thick pillar.

“This is a giant totem pole,” Great Priest Nash explained.

“The orcs can't cultivate warrior energy, and our talent in magic is weaker than a human child. Therefore, the Behemoth Orc Tribe was in a pa.s.sive situation when battling other races. Fortunately, the Beast G.o.d didn't abandon his subjects; we obtained the third type of power aside from warrior energy and magic energy – the power of totem.”

Then, Nash lowered his head and sang an ear-pleasing song.

The giant golden pillar lightly shook, and the runes on it s.h.i.+vered like the tadpoles that were swimming in the water. Like words written in pencil that were erased, the runes gradually disappeared from the pillar.

As the mysterious runes disappeared, the golden pillar changed. It had been golden, but now it became an ordinary wooden pillar. It was clear that it was chopped from a tree in the forest, and it still had green branches on it. Without the support of the mysterious power, the wooden pillar fell to the ground.

The mysterious power that enveloped the campsite disappeared alongside the runes.

“So, this is the power of totem. By using mysterious songs to stimulate the natural elements, orcs can attach natural elements to a medium and create natural elemental patterns to unleash this third type of power,” Fei thought to himself.

In the ancient doc.u.ments and scrolls that were pa.s.sed around the continent, they all recorded the existence of the power of totem. It was described as a power that could rival with warrior energy and magic energy, and only Behemoth Orc Tribe could use it.

However, as the orcs vanished from the continent, this power hadn't appeared on the continent for the last 1,000 years. Fei was even surprised that he got to see it today.

There weren't many useful things in the campsite. It was clear that these orcs were poor. As peak Burning Sun Lords, they didn't even have spatial storage rings. The two big orcs, O'Neal of the Bear Clan and Nowitzki of the Bull Clan, carried all the items required to build the campsite, and the other orc masters didn't have anything precious other than the simple armor and weapons.

Only Great Priest Nash's red scepter had the faint power of totem. It seemed like this priest of the Beast G.o.d Palace held a high status in the Behemoth Orc Tribe.

After everything was packed up, the group got on the road.

However, Great Priest Nash was careful. Instead of bringing everyone in the team, he asked Ginóbili of the Wolf Clan and Battier of the Spider Clan to go back the way they came and report their whereabouts to the tribe in the [Banished Land].

This way, even if this team of orc masters got tricked and captured, at least the Behemoth Orc Tribe would know where they were.

Fei already expected this level of guard and caution, so he didn't say anything about it. If their positions were switched, Fei would do the same thing.

After everything was planned, Fei brought these b.u.mpkin-like orcs toward the Chambord Kingdom from the same way that he came.

On the way, Fei talked to the orc masters and learned that they were the cause behind the upheaval of the demon beasts in the Endless Sea of Forests. These orc masters could use something called [Fear Totem], and it would shock demon beasts and scare them away.

[Fear Totem] was crucial to the continuation of the Behemoth Orc Tribe.

If it weren't for this type of power of totem, all the orcs who moved through the Endless Sea of Forests 1,000 years ago would have died under the sharp teeth and claws of the terrifying demon beasts. Even though [Fear Totem] was useful, it didn't work on all demon beasts; G.o.dly demon beasts, which were one level above emperor-level demon beasts, wouldn't be affected by such power of totem.

Just like what the legends and rumors had stated, 90 percent of the orc population died in that giant migration. More than 20 clans in the Behemoth Orc Tribe went extinct in that b.l.o.o.d.y and tragic move.

This team of peak Burning Sun Realm orc masters only got this far safely in the Endless Sea of Forests by using [Fear Totem].

Das.h.i.+ng forward on the ground for about 120,000 kilometers took this group about half a day. When they were closer to the outer edge of the Endless Sea of Forests, powerful demon beasts reduced in number, and these masters could fly in the sky again.

The closer they were to the edge of the Azeroth Continent, the more excited that these orc masters were.

Like children who left home for too long and tasted all the hards.h.i.+ps in the world before finally returning to their homeland and seeing their parents, all orc masters got emotional. If Fei weren't here, they would have howled and cried out loud.

Tears even appeared in the eyes of the priest of the Fox Clan.

Again, Fei couldn't really understand their emotions.

After another half a day, they finally got to the edge of the Endless Sea of Forests.

Looking down from the sky, Chambord City was already vaguely visible.

Fei paused in the air.

“You guys look quite different from humans. You need to change your attires.” Fei took out more than a dozen set of armor and clothes that were suitable for the orc masters.

However, his action shocked the b.u.mpkin-like orc masters, and they gasped as they stared at Fei's ring; some of them even started to drool.

“Spatial storage ring?”

Great Priest Nash swallowed his saliva and tried to act calm, but the movement of his Adam's apple betrayed him and showed his shock.

Spatial storage items were too precious in the [Banished Land], and it was hard to purchase as there was a strong demand but a lack of supply.

“This human king of an affiliated kingdom can easily take out rare treasures that only the n.o.bles in our tribe have. Could it be that the strength of humans is unimaginably powerful?” the priest of the Fox Clan thought to himself.

Then, the 'b.u.mpkins' were again shocked by the items that Fei took out of his ring.

“Are these… really for us?” O'Neal of the Bear Clan looked at Fei and asked in disbelief.

“Of course.” Fei nodded and replied.

Now, the orc masters looked at Fei in a different light.

The last bit of guard and caution in these poor orc masters' minds were about to disappear.

“Such precious gifts! Are humans this friendly and kind now?”

However, what Fei said next made these poor orcs feel embarra.s.sed. Aside from getting a little angry due to shame, they almost wanted to tear this d.a.m.n human apart to cover their ignorance and impoverished situation.
