A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Seeing that Seth had reached the bottom of the city gate, an orc stepped forward from among the personal guards of the city lord's palace.

He put his right fist on his chest, saluted Seth and said, "Master Seth, welcome back. I am Matthew, captain of the 3rd team of the city lord's personal guards."

Seth's cracked lips did not move, and his increasingly fierce blood eyes slanted downwards, scanning the orcs coming in front of him.

Behind the huge flame beast, a group of orcs also ran out and stood behind Seth.

Seth's eyes passed over the orc who had a scar piercing his left eye.

Before Seth could speak, the scar-eyed orc stepped forward to negotiate with Matthew, the representative of the city lord's personal guards.

The scar-eyed orcs who came out behind Matthew and Seth originally belonged to the same system, but had different organization, so the handover was naturally smooth at this time.

Before Seth waited too long, the two orcs completed the handover.

Looking at the huge flame beast behind Seth, Matthew decisively moved out of the way into the city and stood aside.

This flame beast has obviously been dead for many days, but in close contact, Matthew can still feel the remaining power of the flame beast's body.

He was willing to lower his head to Seth at this time to show his respect for the strong man.

The flame beast's body is too large and irregular, making it difficult to drag it into the city from the city gate.

Seth, the index and middle fingers of his right hand came together and waved lightly, and the martial energy rope originally tied to the flame beast's body dissipated.

He took the lead and stepped through the city gate.

The orcs on the main avenue of the city immediately stopped their voices and looked closely at the city gate.

The light inside the gate of the gate was dark, which made it difficult for them to see Seth walking inside.

But the sound of Seth walking towards them step by step was terrifyingly clear.

Seth, getting closer. Behind him is the flame beast that cannot be dragged into the city gate.

The huge flame beast and the footsteps coming from the front of the Silent Avenue brought a strong contrast, making all the orcs present feel fear.

When the sun in the sky shone on Seth who had just stepped out of the gate of the tower.

Lilith was able to see clearly how embarrassed Seth looked at this time.

His silver-gray hair, which was originally short, has now grown to his shoulders. Her hair was stained with dark red blood, and was awkwardly knotted in one place.

There was a slanting white scar on the eyebrow of Seth's left eye, interrupting his originally smooth sword eyebrow.

His wheat-colored skin is still shiny, but it can't hide the light brown scars that can be seen everywhere on his body.

The most conspicuous thing is that it runs through his entire upper body. The scar that ran diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist looked like it had been torn apart by a beast and then sewn back together.

As soon as he walked out of the dark gate of the tower, Seth stood quietly in his place to adapt to the light.

At this time, a gust of wind blew the red spar earring beside his right ear.

The reflected red light shimmered faintly in the dirty silver hair.

Just like Seth's bloody eyes.

None of the orcs on the main road of the city said a word or urged them.

All left to Seth standing where he was.

The sound of messy footsteps came from behind Seth.

When the owner of the footsteps walked out of the gate of the city tower, the orcs saw clearly that it was the group of orcs brought back to Lila City by Matthew, the personal guard of the city lord's palace, and Seth.

Except for Matthew, almost all the orcs who had just walked out of the gate of the city tower looked embarrassed and slovenly.

Invisibly, a clear line of separation is drawn from the neat orcs on the main avenue of the city.

At this time, the orcs in one city looked like orcs from two different camps.

The orcs of the City Lord Avenue, who clearly had an overwhelming numerical advantage, were trembling with fear at the arrival of Seth and his entourage.

A group of orcs behind Seth looked at the silent orcs in front of them with satisfaction.

They lowered their heads to cover the corners of their mouths that were raised unconsciously.

The scar-eyed orc among them walked directly to the position half a step behind Seth.

The scarred-eyed orc glanced at the orcs on the city lord's avenue in front of him, including the three groups of orcs wearing Heaton, the standard of the city lord's personal guards.

It wasn't until the orcs who looked at him lowered their heads one by one that the scarred-eyed orc raised his chin slightly.

His right hand humbly pointed to the orcs in the direction of Seth.

He puffed out his chest proudly and stretched his neck straight.

With martial energy flowing in his throat, he took a deep breath and said loudly, "Welcome Master Seth back to the city!"

This sound hovered in the sky in front of the main gate of Lila City.

"Den!"

"Dang!" "Dang!"

"Thum!" "Thum!" "Thum!"

The small group of orcs who followed Seth back used their martial energy with their right foot and stepped on the ground.

The drumbeat of the victorious return awakened all the orcs who seemed to be sleeping on the main road of the city.

"Welcome Master Seth back to the city!!" An orc on the City Lord's Avenue suddenly raised his hands and shouted to welcome Seth back to the city.

Then one after another the orcs shouted "Welcome Master Seth back to the city!", "Welcome Master Seth back to the city!"...

Until the orcs around Lilith and Senasha were also affected by this, they raised their hands and shouted.

Lilith hugged Senasha's neck and looked at the orcs around her who welcomed Seth's return, with excitement in her eyes: "Second father!"

Sennasha looked at Seth standing in front of the orcs, his face full of pride: "Yes!"

Lilith shouted: "Seth is back in the city!"

Sennasha hugged Lilith and weighed it: "Hahahahaha. This kid is back~ Hahahaha."

For a time, the atmosphere on the entire City Lord's Avenue was frenzied, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who were not shouting became aliens.

Seth's bloody eyes glanced over the city lord's palace guards who were standing on the city lord's avenue, in the center of the crowd of orcs, with a half-smile but not a smile.

The three groups of orcs who were the personal guards of the city lord's palace received the gaze cast by Seth.

Swallowing, they all moved their eyes away, not daring to look directly at Seth again.

Seth walked step by step toward the center of power in Lila City, where the Gusili family had lived for generations—the palace of the city lord of Lila City amid the overwhelming crowds of welcomes.

The personal guards of the city lord's palace who occupied the central position of the avenue scattered like birds and beasts, splitting into two sides in a tacit understanding, and blended into the ordinary orcs.

Wherever Seth walked, the orcs automatically stood on both sides.

He looked at Seth with eager and adoring eyes, but he restrained himself and kept his body half an arm's length away from Seth, not daring to offend.

Lilith was held in Senasha's arms, standing among the crowd of orcs, feeling the shouts of the orcs firsthand, and was very happy for Seth.

She held her second father Sennasha's neck with one hand, and shouted along with the orcs beside her with the other hand.

Seth's ears moved, and his sharp bloody eyes looked this way.

In an instant, the sharpness turned into petals, scattered in Seth's spring-like eyes.

The densely packed orcs around him raised their arms and shouted, but only their voices seemed to be left.

At this moment, Seth only saw Lilith in his eyes.

Lilith noticed Seth's gaze. She clenched her fists happily, put her elbows down, and made a cheering gesture towards Seth.

Seth chuckled and nodded.

This move aroused the excitement of the orcs here, and the momentum became stronger.

Lilith smiled and waved to Seth.

Seth nodded and mouthed to Lilith: "Wait for me."

Lilith imitated Seth's mouth shape, repeated in her mouth, and whispered softly: "Wait for me...?"

The next second, Lilith smiled at Seth.

Seth glanced at Lilith with a smile, then turned around and continued to walk towards the city lord's palace...

"Tch, this kid. Didn't you even see me?" Lilith's second father, Senasha, said unhappy.

"Hahahaha." Lilith reacted and laughed at her second father.

Seeing that Lilith finally smiled again, the corners of Sinasha's mouth quietly raised.

Seeing Seth and his group of orcs gradually walking away, Sennasha looked at the crowded crowd of orcs around him without relaxing.

"Second father, let's go home." Lilith faced the departure of her eldest brother Tepper and her second brother Vasilio in one day, and welcomed the return of Seth.

Between sadness and happiness, she was already a little tired.

"Yes. Let's follow the crowd of orcs and walk along." Senasha gently pressed Lilith's head on his shoulders. "When Lilith is tired, she will lie on the second father's shoulder and sleep for a while."

"Hmm~" Lilith followed her second father's strength and put her little head on his second father's shoulder.

"Lilith, go to sleep! My second father promises you that we will be home when you wake up." Senasha's voice was gentle.

"Ah~um~" Lilith yawned, her eyes half-opened and about to close.

From the corner of her eye, she happened to catch sight of a camel and antelope chariot behind the flame beast outside the city.

When all the orcs looked eagerly at Seth's back, the Camel Antelope silently passed the inspection of the city guards and entered the city.

"Huh?" Lilith was a little strange.

Senasha thought Lilith was leaning in an uncomfortable position, so he slightly adjusted the position in which he held Lilith: "Go to sleep~ Lilith..."

Lilith's body couldn't resist the tiredness...

~~~

The next day, at noon, Cavendish's house.

Lilith and her mother, who had just finished lunch, were talking at the dinner table about Seth's return to the city yesterday.

When talking about excitement, Lilith stood directly on the chair.

He danced and told Amkunta about yesterday's scene.

Kunta was stunned for a moment.

In Quinta's impression, Seth was still the little orc who, despite being highly talented, still needed their care.

Now, her impression formed a clear sense of separation from the Seth who was supported by the orcs in her daughter Lilith's mouth.

But the way his daughter Lilith was truly proud of Seth also made Quinta smile.

Quinta watched Seth grow taller little by little from his infancy.

Now, Seth can do just that.

Kunta couldn't help but feel a little relieved as a parent.

"Madam, Miss, Master Seth is here to visit." Servant Jim stepped forward to announce.

"Mom! It's Seth! He's here." After hearing Jim's announcement, Lilith looked at Quinta with excitement.

Only then did Quinta learn from his daughter Lilith that Seth had returned to the city yesterday.

I didn't expect Seth to come visit me today.

The surprise on Kunta's face was not hidden.

Lilith gently pulled her mother's arm and reminded her, "Mom?"

Kunta smiled and said to his servant Jim: "Invite Master Seth to..."

Before she finished speaking, Lilith took over: "The living room on the third floor~Sorry to trouble you, Jim~" Lilith clasped her hands together cutely.

Quinta shook his head and smiled, nodding to Jim.

After getting Quinta's permission, Jim went downstairs and welcomed Seth to the living room on the third floor.

Kunta carried Lilith and arrived at the living room first. Her index finger gently scratched the bridge of Lilith's nose: "What should I do? It's such a mess... Do you still have the nerve to invite Seth in?"

When Lilith heard the news about Seth, she subconsciously wanted to invite Seth to the living room.

In Lilith's heart, she had long regarded Seth as a close partner and a trustworthy orc.

But in front of her, the gadgets scattered everywhere in the room still made her a little embarrassed.

Lilith immediately jumped out of her mother's arms and cleaned up quickly.

Quinta leaned against the cushions and smiled at Lilith, who was moving like a little hamster.

When Lilith was holding a life-size camel and antelope animal skin doll, she moved towards the wall with difficulty.

The doll in his arms became lighter and flew higher.

Lilith started holding the doll's belly, and now she couldn't even touch the doll's feet when she stretched her arms. It only took a breath.

"Seth, you're here." Amkunta greeted her kindly from behind.

"Sister Kunta, good afternoon. I hope I didn't disturb you and Lilith's lunch break."

Is this... Seth's voice? Seems more subdued? Lilith thought slowly.

He originally raised the doll high and placed it back in front of Lilith.

General Seth also knelt down on the carpet, bent his upper body and asked Lilith: "Lilith, where do you want to put this doll?"

Lilith looked at Seth's soft bloody eyes, but her eyes rolled and dropped with guilt.

At the same time, Lilith did not forget to push hard with her little feet, and at the same time, she pushed aside the small stone boxes scattered under her feet.

"Huh? Lilith?" Seth thought Lilith hadn't heard clearly before, so he asked Lilith again.

Lilith didn't dare to look at Seth. She pulled each other with her two little hands, and finally pointed to the wall: "Here! Put it over there."

Seth stood up and easily placed the camel and antelope skin doll where Lilith pointed.

When he turned back, he picked up Lilith from the carpet with one hand, walked to Kunta and sat down.

Lilith took the opportunity to sit on his lap.

Lilith was now able to see the scars on Seth's body up close.

Her eyes were red, and she touched the scar that penetrated Seth's chest: "Seth...wuwu."

Although Kunta didn't sob as much as his daughter, the pain and worry in her eyes couldn't be faked at all.

This is why Seth likes to come to Eleventh Brother Sennasha's house.

Only in the Cavendish house could he be an orc with flesh and blood, capable of pain and screaming.

Seth held Lilith's little fleshy hand and shook it comfortingly, saying softly: "It's okay. I didn't break through in martial arts this time, but I also gained a lot."

Seth took out a silver bottle from the storage bracelet and handed it to Kunta: "Sister Quinta, this is the living blood of the flame beast."

Quinta not only didn't answer, she frowned heavily when she looked at Seth: "Seth...what's your injury this time?"

Seth followed Quinta's gaze, looked down at the scars on his body, and said with a smile: "Sister Quinta, this is the medal of the male orc."

There was a faint sense of water in Kunta's eyes, and she channeled her spiritual power to surround Seth.

Seth's tired spirit was relieved, and the accumulated flame impurities began to slowly dissolve.

Seth smiled and thanked Quinta. He touched the top of Lilith's head and asked Kunta: "Sister Kunta, I haven't seen Lilith for a long time. Can you take her out to play for a while?"

Kunta raised his eyebrows: "Today?"

Seth's cheeks were slightly red and he said sheepishly: "Later?..."

Kunta smiled: "Okay."

Seth also realized that his request was abrupt at first.

So when Kunta agreed, Seth, who became more and more steady, couldn't help but look at Kunta in surprise: "Sister Quinta? Is it really okay?"

From Quinta's point of view, Seth has always acted in a systematic way, and he often took Lilith around Lila City before, and there was never any big problem.

Quinta has nothing to worry about when it comes to Seth.

Kunta nodded with a smile. She pinched Lilith's nose and said, "You must listen to Seth and don't run around."

Lilith agreed happily.

Seth hugged Lilith and said goodbye to Quinta.

When he hugged Lilith and turned to leave the living room, Quinta looked at Seth's body, which was now taller than his husband, Maine.

She felt quite emotional in her heart. The little orc who would call her Sister Kunta in the past seemed to have really grown up.
