The Hero in Exile

The carriage was traveling on the barren grassland. Due to the presence of an uninvited guest, Brunson, no one in the car was willing to speak. Lingyu didn't care. To herself, she could only be regarded as a neutral person who was forced to cooperate with the demons.

Lingyu sat at the rear of the car and looked at the scenery behind, although there was nothing interesting to see at a glance.

"What are you looking at, Lingyu? You've been staring outside for a long time." Moran, who was sitting nearby, noticed that this guy had been maintaining the same posture for too long and joked.

"I didn't see anything. You just look outside and relax."

Lingyu still looked outside, because this always gave her the same feeling as before, like when she was sitting on a bus and there was nothing outside but she just wanted to see.

"Everyone will be here soon."

Everyone in the car looked forward almost at the same time, but Lingyu couldn't see clearly because she was sitting at the back and was a little short. She could only see a flag with a strange totem symbol printed on it in front of her.

How did he get close to me? Moran was already complaining in his heart. This guy next to him has been sticking to me since the beginning! He was almost touching my shoulder. What's wrong with this guy? He can see me, but he still came over. Doesn't he know that men and women should not be too close to each other?

Although someone thought so, he still blushed a little. Someone sitting opposite him suddenly noticed the two of them.

Although they had just met and chatted with the orc driver last time, they were stopped by this guy's eyes when they wanted to get closer. Although they didn't know his identity, they could guess that he was a high-ranking demon or a human spy. However, seeing this scene, they couldn't help but...

Moran, who thought no one would notice, suddenly noticed that the old man sitting opposite him gave him a thumbs up and smiled a bit disgustingly. What's with that "come on" expression on his face?

Although I was a little angry, I couldn't show it for fear of being discovered by the person behind me. When my strength recovered, I would definitely find this guy to have a good fight with him.

"Lingyu, you sit in the front so you can see it more clearly. I've seen it several times and I just need to sit in the back." Moran reminded Lingyu in a very low voice.

Someone watching the show nearby couldn't stand it anymore and changed his seat. "Damn it! If it weren't for this old man, I could still sit there and enjoy it." Moran cursed in his heart.

"Oh? Well, thank you."

Lingyu suddenly realized how out of control she had been and felt a little embarrassed. The two of them tried their best not to make any noise as they exchanged positions, but the carriage was so big that it was impossible for them not to notice. The others also deliberately did not look back to leave them enough space.

The orc tribe was built on the plains, and the outer perimeter appeared to have solid high walls, huge stone gates, and walls guarded by watchtowers at regular intervals.

Lingyu looked carefully but couldn't understand how those stones of various shapes became so solid after being fixed to the wooden pillars with ropes. If it was her first time entering the capital of the empire, she felt that it was solemn and the city was full of power.

"Everyone, please put these things on first to avoid attracting attention, and leave them to me when you enter the city."

Darkley took a few cloaks similar to the ones he was wearing from the front seat and threw them between the people in the back seat, who quickly changed their clothes.

"Stop the car for routine inspection."

Two orc soldiers armed with spears stopped Darkley's carriage.

"It's me, I'm here on the orders of the Beast King to bring the distinguished guest back." After saying that, Darkley lowered his hood.

"It's you, sir. I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you. Please let me go!"

After the orc soldiers finished shouting, the huge stone gate in front of them slowly opened, and Dakli drove the carriage into the huge tribe.

Lingyu discovered through the gaps that there were different tribes in the tribe. Some had snake features or cat women, but they almost only stayed together with people of the same tribe. It felt like there was an invisible line dividing their territories and they did not interfere with each other.

"Darkley, what are you doing here? If it's a demon friend rescued from humans, just go to that area."

"I can't do anything about it." Darkley said with a wry smile: "After all, there are some important people inside who need the king to meet them in person."

The carriage stopped in front of a fortress in the city. Hanging in front of the gate was the same flag seen outside the city. This must be their palace.

"Everyone can get off the bus now."

"This is why the orc tribe is much larger than I imagined." Lingyu looked around curiously.

"My tribe has some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. You can follow this big brother in." Dakley ran to the back without even driving away.

Lingyu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. The big brother that Dackley mentioned had a circle of hair around his neck, and he looked like a lion. She really wanted to pet him once. That feeling must be very happy, Lingyu thought.

"follow me."

The group walked through the corridor, turned a few corners, passed a few checkpoints, and finally arrived at a spacious room. At the very back of the room sat an orc who looked much stronger than the other orcs.

"Who are you guys? I'm very busy and I hope you can give me a better answer." The orc on the stage said arrogantly.

"It's me, Moran. I haven't seen you for so long, old friend. Have you missed me?" Moran said as he took off his cloak.

The Orc King's pupils contracted, from shock to joy.

"It turns out you're not dead yet. I was worried for nothing."
